CARBONDALE, PA—Less than two weeks after introducing to the nation her developmentally disabled newborn and her 19-year-old son preparing for military service in Iraq, Republican vice presidential nominee and conservative Christian woman Sarah Palin delivered a speech Monday flanked by three heretofore-unknown relatives, including a naturalized Mexican half brother, a formerly lesbian niece, and a New York City firefighter cousin who saved several lives during the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks. “John McCain and I will take on the Washington establishment and give the government back to the people,” said Palin, who several times gave the “thumbs-up” sign to her African-American coal-miner uncle seated in the audience. “We envision a better and brighter future for hardworking, selfless Americans like Ted, Anne, and Guillermo here.” Palin has a campaign stop scheduled next week in Texas, where she is expected to introduce her stepsister Linda, a $35 barrel of offshore-drilled crude oil wrapped in an American flag.”
Diversity is good!
I was just thinking about Teresa Kerry. We know John Kerry married into money with Teresa Heinz Kerry, but all things considered, I’d rather live single in a mobile home park than to go to bed with that next to me every night.
#19 “Same could be said of Pelosi, but that would denigrate her status as Speaker.”
Hey! It’s hard work signing all those checks for Bush’s war. It was also hard work to line up the Dem votes for wiretapping law.

You’re probably right. I mean if it wasn’t so hard she would have “Drained the Swamp” by now.
Speaking of Darwin ((many more things than we suspect are genetically based/influenced, thats why we react to lies differently than do cantaloupes)), it appears there is a genetic basis for the repuglican/liberal split.
Who can deny they are self-centered, not sharing toys, crybabies?

Yeah that picture is fucked
We have Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, and Jessica Alba. All of which smoke that crap on the Republican side.
So once again Republicans see what they want to see.
#23 “I mean if it wasn’t so hard she would have “Drained the Swamp” by now.”
Why would Pelosi destroy her own home?

If you read between the lines, the study shows that conservatives react appropriately to a threat, while the liberals were too jacked down on pot/prozac/ oxycontin/ valium/ too even notice. Maybe that’s why Obama is sooooo mellow these days. Gone back to his old ways. How many packs a day is he smoking?

#27 or it could mean liberals keep a cool head and don’t go off half cocked thinking the sky is falling every time it rains.
#28
Nah, study doesn’t show that at all. It shows that they forget to even put up their umbrellas until they’re all wet, which is most of the time, hehe
#27. oxycontin + Limbaugh = Republican — any questions?
#29
you are right like that whole wmds thing in iraq. republicans want to rush right in a bomb the shit out of every thing. democrats want to wait and see if there was more information……oh wait…………
Meth + man-ass + bible thumping = Republican
If Palin wants to put her family on the stage for her campaign, she can expect them to become targets. The same for Obama.

Mr Confusion: whoa Cupcake…like..are you saying you’re a closet republican, then? You’re a poet, dude.

There were no democrats supporting the Iraq war, huh? Not Hillary? Nobody? That’s weird… there seem to be so MANY democrats with ‘yea’ votes on THIS list:

Must all be typos… or maybe the democrats had been standing out in the rain so long they were suffering from cerebral edema. Could happen. There’s got to be some explanation.
And so it deteriorates.
The prettier the Republican women get the gayer the Republican men become.
Everybody is related to a lot of people that aren’t them and don’t share their views.
I wasn’t impressed when people jumped Obama about some half siblings he may have never even heard off and I’m not impressed now.
Billy Carter never ran for President. Neither did Clinton’s half brother.
Stick to issues and candidates.
#35, doell,
Great idea. HOWEVER, (I hate starting a sentence with a conjunction but, …)as I have said before. If the candidate uses his family as part of his campaign then they are then a target too.
Because McCain did not bring his bastard black kids on stage then NO, they should not become part of his campaign. As far as I know, the media have mostly left them alone.
The same for his gay brother. We can also leave him out of it.
Cindy McCain and her abortion at seventeen though should be open to questioning simply because several times she has joined McCain on stage. Abortion is a relevant topic.
Wow, join them on stage, and you’re a target? Hey Al Gore introduced his 8 year old in 1992, pointed him out in the audience and everything. I guess the media should have talked about his pot smoking?
Carbondale, PA? They couldn’t pick a better city? I live just 5 miles north of Carbondale, and used to live and work there for a few years.
It’s from the Onion people. Did I really need to point that out again?

Mr ConFusion:
Have you stopped taking your nice pill again? Isn’t this kind of dark, sullen bottom-trolling beneath you? Are the liberals so out-of-gas that they are fighting each other at the bottom of the swamp for sustenance?
