Wow Some Repubs Just Spin and Spin and Spin

I know exactly what he was talking about as he has used it many times . I just thought after the Pitbull /Hockey Mom quote it was in poor taste .


Let me rephrase that after Senator Palins quote about being a soccer mom is like a Pitbull with lipstick . You get the drift ...

Assuming the lipstick/pitball comment actually is relevant, he was saying Palin is the lipstick, not the pig. Is that offensive then?

I'm not a white female voter , I'd ask them . The point I was painfully trying to make was , who writes his speeches ? Open mouth and insert foot , is a hell of a way to run a campaign . I'm not trying to funny but just find American politics so much more interesting than say Canadien or Euro .

Obama apparently writes a lot of his own speeches, although I have no doubt there is a group effort organizing talking points and phrases for campaign stumps.

McCain himself used the exact same phrase to describe Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's health care plan just last year. "I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig."


People are forgetting its a whole new ballgame , first black nominee , woman running mate . What a debate that would be , Biden / Paulin , interesting like I said .

I can't deny that it is historic for what it is but I'm personally of the opinion that it doesn't speak so well for us that we are celebrating such things as firsts in the year 2008.
Gender or skin color have nothing to do with ability. What counts is the brain inside the head.

True enough.

Whose brain do you prefer.

Sorry but in this campaign, it's been rather one-sided. I have heard some shit about Palin which is false but it didn't come from anyone of note.

This stuff is from Rove, O'Reilly, and Limbaugh ffs.

Did they attend the same meeting or some shit?

Lipstick on a pig is an old saying. I'm sure the McCain camp knew that but went for the fake outrage for the stupid.

That wasn't poor taste.

If anything, it was bad timing to use a correct saying.
