I guess my bubble has been burst, he is just a normal every day average Joe Six Pack. Couldn't call him a plumber he is not licenced. lol

floridafun wrote:no sorry mark they dont...its what those like you who need to compartmentalize things they dont understand call it. those lost on the political sea of "where is a candidate i can believe in?"..want to feel the excitement but nobody is generating it for you, so you have to use mockery to cut down those who have a candidate they are excited about.

No, silly. He isn't the Messiah. His supporters just think he is.

Another 15 uses of that term and I'll be right up there with your use of "the Rove playbook". Another 20 times and I'll be close to your reference to Rush and/or sheep.

Now you're steppin' over the line Cincyco

Let's just start with the word diva. It is obviously a sexist slight -- a term that is only applied to women, almost always in a derogatory way. It's usually applied to women who are viewed as overly ambitious. It is applied to demanding women, to women who follow their own path.

There is really no equivalent word for men -- except maybe "successful."

So, with that in mind, I applaud Sarah Palin, or any other woman, for embracing her inner diva and "busting free" of what she believes is a damaging situation.

But we are going to go easy on the Helen Reddy here, because what is really pathetic about all of this is the hypocrisy.

I still think McCain's Bitch is quite fitting. I mean, she is a pitbull with lipstick. And is basically a pawn for the party...
