Well, yeah—but as liberals, I’m not sure we want to win that way.

It’s about the double standard - the ridiculously prudish standards that Democrats are held to are always exempted for Republicans.

Democrats as a party represent high ideals.  Republicans as a party represent old white guys with money.  When an old white guy with money Republican does something offensive no one cares.  Because you expect the old white guy with money Republican to be an offensive jackass.  When the Democrat does something offensive they’re violating their ideals.  And therefore a hypocrite, which is apparently the SINGLE WORST SIN ANYONE CAN EVER COMMIT ANYWHERE.  If you’re a Democrat, that is. 

Democrats will hold other Democrats accountable for this crap.  Republicans don’t care so they won’t.  Note that hypocrites Larry Craig and David Vitter all remain in their jobs, while hypocrites Eliot Spitzer and Mark Dann have been forced to resign.  Spitzer and Dann had their own parties breathing down their necks because of their behavior and activities (as well they should have), while Craig and Vitter got a pass from theirs.

It’s kind of like the whole Joker/Batman thing from the other thread.  When Batman does something bad it’s controversial - the good guy isn’t supposed to do bad things.  When the Joker does something bad it’s expected.  Same with Dems and Republicans.

Can you imagine the reaction if Bill Clinton showed up at something like that in the ‘90s and said that about Hillary Clinton?

Do PUMA’s still exist? Love to see their take on this

John McCain will NEVER be eliminated from this race. If Our Media Stars have to pick him up and drag him across the finish line, they will. I’m reasonably confident they won’t get there ahead of Obama, but they’ll get there. Only Republicans can have landslide victories. Democrats can’t, and it’s not because Our Media Stars are rich dilettante morons, no not at all; it’s because they’re in favor of weird stuff like health care and not invading countries and fixing roads and balanced budgets and non-rich kids going to college. Real Americans hate that stuff.

This be one of those things that Andrea Mitchell was talking about the other day: the things John McCain is not responsible for. In addition to his entire campaign, we are now to add words that come out of McCain’s mouth as things John-boy isn’t responsible for. If he flips off a girl scout troop that will be expanded to hand gestures.

I suspect his marriage would be over as well.  Can you imagine Michelle Obama putting up with that shite?

Yeah, it would be over, because Michelle (rightly) would have hospitalized him to such an extent that he would not have been able to campaign for months. She wouldn’t take that shit for a minute.

I can’t decide if McCain is a pig of incredible proportions or if he and his campaign people can really be THAT stupid.

Buffalo Chip is not a mere “beauty pageant.” It’s topless, bottomless, raunchy, rude, crude, and lewd.

See, if she entered that contest, I think she’d finally be revealed as a Sleestak.  I mean, most Republicans are slithering slimy beasts, but she actually looks reptilian.

But unsocialized middle-aged white men who ride expensive motorcycles are the heart and soul of the country. Who could possible win an election without their support?

Fucking funny stuff.  I linked you.

Now, in fairness, didn’t Amanda Marcotte blog about an air sex competition she attended?  Maybe this actually represents the beginning of a progressive attitude about human sexuality among the Republicans.  Besides, maybe Cindy’s got some talent?

This is painfully typical of how John McCain treats his “cunt” [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuuDMhsXQo&feature=related ].  I cannot imagine why she has put up with him this long, but her marriage is her business.  But it clearly demonstrates that he is not a man of the character we would want as President.

Now, OTOH, if a prospective First Lady (or prospective President) were to compete for Miss Buffalo Chip on her own initiative, that would help to sway my vote….

McCain and his staff have proven over and over again that they are immature and just disgusting.  They would run over their mothers if they thought it would put another buck into their pockets.  How in the world is this race so close?  How can any woman stay with such an ass?  WTF is the matter with people?  AGHHHHH!!!  [sorry for the venting…thanks]

You liberals are a cancer in America’s belly.  You represent everything bad about humanity, you’re hateful, crude, and immoral.  Look no further than the vial posts in this thread as proof.

Personally I believe the liberal perspective is born of atheism; after all, what is the incentive to be a good person when you think you must only be responsible to yourself?  What a truly pathetic existence.

I will pray to GOD for all of you.
