Comments on: Sen. Bond Warns Palin Crowd That Obama Wants Judges Who Empathize With “The Gay”

[herberth1]

I beg your pardon mr bond,but was it not you, that was photographed coming out of a bathhouse in st. louis years ago? not that there''s anything wrong with that.

[elaygee]

I think Kit Bond just did the political version of jumping the shark

What Obama actually said:

We need somebody who%u2019s got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it%u2019s like to be a young teenage mom. The empathy to understand what it%u2019s like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old. %u2026 I am absolutely convinced that Culture Wars are just so %u201990s. Their days are growing dark.

OP1N1CUS--Palin (& McCain)
1. Thinks that if your minor daughter or wife is raped, it would be illegal for them not to keep the child.
2. Plain, Sleeps with successionist who thinks so much of America that he wanted to break away from it and Palin spoke at their rally and said keep up the great work.
3. Wants to tax you if you get a health plan from your employer and if you do not take 2,500 per person for another health plan;
4. Claims to be a wal-mart mom and spends 150k in a month on clothes from Neimans and Saks.
5. Cannot own up that she was for the Bridge to Nowhere took the money for it; had lobbyists for earmarks for Wasilla; left Wasilla with a HUGE debt when it originally had a surplus.
6. Did you forget about Mr. Keating???
7. McCain-Voted to do away with the controls that led to this economic mess and the very bill that did away with it was sponsored by Graham........
8. McCain Voted against equal pay for women and the Ledbetter Act;
9. McCain-Voted at least 8 times NOT to raise min. wage.
10. McCain proposes buying up bad mtgs--hey McCain, I paid mine almost in full--how about picking up the tab for what I have left.

BTW--that bailout--it gave your money to someone else--Wall Street and McCain was all for it.

And, please tell us all-how exactly did Obama allegedly conspire with a terrorist.

Does nobody else find it hilarious that she rails against having empathy for the teenage mother, when she''s introducing someone whose daughter will very soon BE A TEENAGE MOTHER? The double standards of the idealogues on the far right wing are incredibly transparent to everyone except their frothing-at-the-mouth lock stepping followers.

Could someone please debunk that whole line that is attributed to Obama? I can''t believe that a Constitutional scholar uttered the words: "I%u2019m tired of these judges who want to follow what the Founding Fathers said and the Constitution."

From the sounds of it, it looks like Kit Bond thinks there is only one Gay. This is disturbing since he knows Foley and Craig. From that he should have used the plural "the ***". Having such intense focus on a particular lifestyle seems unusual. Perhaps Kit is displaying much more about his inner desires than he expected. Perhaps we should check Sen Craig and see if he has any insight.

Awesome add and powerful message. How anyone can still be undecided is beyond me at this point in the game! If you like the past 8 years, than McCain''s your man! If you don''t then Obama, it''s just that simple and really it not that deep the differences between the two (2) men...

The rightwing neocon nutjob Republicans continue to rant, rave and lie to their faithful but ever shrinking base.

To the rest of us, the Republicans are now toxic crooks and liars.

Their pitiful speeches are music to the neocon evangelical nutjobs, but to the majority of Americans their rantings are just annoying background noise. After November 4 this noise will fade away just like the remainder of the neocon nutjob Republican party. Good riddance.

What on earth is wrong with these Republicans?! I have never seen a more corrupt, nasty, sleazy, angry, bigoted group of people! I now believe the entire Republican Party should just be abolished!
