Karen,
Or what Pink thinks – which is an oxymoron.
Is this an example of the compassionate, thoughtful and caring Christian attributes you seem to tout so loudly?
Matt Damon is hilarious! 🙂

celebrity endorsements lend about as much credibility as, well, the Clinton’s telling the truth.

ken, I think the overall message of Warren’s post is – who gives a rip about what Matt Damon thinks about Sarah Palin? Or what Pink thinks – which is an oxymoron. Or what Pamela Anderson thinks – ditto.

Ever since the McCain pulled Palin out of his hat the real news has become more absurd than the Onion.

So apparently Warren you’re only interested discussing the easily dismissed political exaggerations about Palin. Or talk about how the press is picking on poor Sarah. But when someone actually brings up valid concerns about her, you want to make jokes and try to laugh it off as nothing. You’ve learned your political dodges well.

Thanks Ken, but I know that about the voting thing.
Where I used to live in Delaware, the only way to vote in a primary was to declare a party and vote for candidates in that party. I understand from the courthouse clerk here in Wisconsin that one can vote for either party’s candidates in the primaries by declaring so that day. And you may change that at will in any future primaries. If I understood that correctly, I really like it, since I was registered as an Independent from 1968-1994.
I smiled tonight when Charlie Gibson suggested Governor Palin’s positive answers about her readiness and qualifications for the VP were “hubris.” How would he have preferred she answer? “No, I really don’t think I’m ready and I’m actually unqualified for the job. But you know what? I’m going to do it anyway.”
That would be hubris.
What Palin demonstrated tonight – as she has all along – is confidence. It’s a shame Charlie Gibson can’t tell the difference. Or, maybe that ole devil sexism is still alive and kickin’. The liberal media seems to have a death wish in regard to women voters. Gibson just put another nail in the coffin.

I don’t understand Reps. They could have easily swept the stage just by giving a call to Chuck Norris. They had to come up with this old veteran guy and his female copilot (she does look a bit like a flight attendant, though…).
Maybe they’re keeping the big guns for the next elections, when Damon’s gonna run. Makes sense.

Karen Booth said in post 126181: It was a personal thrill to discover that I could register to vote in Wisconsin - even the primaries - without having to declare a party! You can register to vote in a general election in any state without having to declare a political party. However, whether you would be allowed to vote in a primary varies among the states.

Damon questioned whether Palin believe dinosaurs were on earth 4000 years ago and then made some connection to nuclear codes. He also was infamous for being a nemesis of Jimmie Kimmel in a spoof involving Kimmel former girlfriend Sarah Silverman. But this is a spoof, sorry if the attempt failed with you.

Warren asked in post a href=”#comment-126189″>126189:
Ken – Did you ever read the Onion? Or The Spoof?
No, I haven’t. Are you saying you must made those things up in an attempt to be humourous?
