Pigs and lipstick

[WakeUpSheeple]

Hilarious
Since when does Ms. Sarah own the word lipstick?
Obama said "You can put lipstick on a pig," to an outbreak of laughter, shouts and raucous applause, "It's still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still going to stink after eight years."
The analogies have been used for years by many politicians but all of a sudden he owes Sarah an apology?
The over reaction of the McCain people is even funnier.

McCain's campaign called the comments "offensive and disgraceful" and said Obama owes Palin an apology. Obama's campaign said he wasn't referring to Palin and said the Republican camp was engaging in a "pathetic attempt to play the gender card." Obama's camp also noted that McCain once used the same phrase to describe Hillary Rodham Clinton's health care plan.

I am losing more respect for McCain every day. He vowed to run a respectful campaign. Wait until you hear the new ad campaign telling you Obama wants to teach sex education to kinder-gardeners. Please dig deeper and find out how outlandish this is. Flat out lie. And this is supposed to be an honorable man. Not anymore.
The smear machine has now kicked into overdrive. Either he can no longer control his own people or won't.

Well, I will have to say I disagree with you on the lipstick remark. It is very obvious Obama was referring to Palin because she made the joke in her speech 'what is the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom, lipstick'.

So, yes, Obama was absolutely making a comment about Palin. It is politics, they are all going to be stupid, they always have been. But Obama was directing his comment straight to Palin.

Did you hear of an earthquake in Iran?

O.K. Here is the whole context of what he said.......

"John McCain says he's about change, too -- except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics," Mr. Obama told his supporters here. "That's just calling the same thing something different."

With a laugh, he added: "You can put lipstick on a pig; it's still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change; it's still going to stink after eight years."

In the latest sign of the campaign's heightened intensity, Mr. McCain's surrogates responded within minutes and called on Mr. Obama to apologize to Gov. Sarah Palin for the lipstick remark. But to those in the audience, it was clear that Mr. Obama was employing an age-old phrase -- lipstick on a pig -- and referring to Mr. McCain's policies. He had not yet mentioned Ms. Palin at that point of his speech.

I don't here Sarah apologizing to Pitbulls everywhere. LOL, just a joke ladies.
Of coarse it was a dig, thats politics, you really think he was disparaging women in any way? Of coarse not. Do you think it was "offensive and disgraceful". They would rather cry foul over nothing than to speak to the real issues. Two months left and still no interviews. Come out Sarah, you have a lot of explaining to do.

The more I dig, the more this lady has no business being on the ticket.
Wait until her views of same sex marriages and how all gays are sick and need a cure, are brought out. Her church offers such a cure on their homepage .
Look up Wasilla Bible Church (of no paticular faith).

[howdy ya'll]

Well, has anyone ever thought that just maybe there are people out there that just do not want the desires to be gay. Which there are. They try to deny them, to ashamed to seek help, suppress the feelings, and so on.......that is why so many of them marry the opposite sex.......

So what is the harm in a church offering a service that will help those that have the desire to want to be helped, free of charge. I think that is very noble and very American. I bet they even display the US Flag in there church. I am just glad that they do not devote their allegiance to Africa or some other nation and I am glad that that church does not condemn America!

So........

"With a laugh, he added: "You can put lipstick on a pig; it's still a pig."

directed directly at Palin.......

They have proven to be nothing more than crash courses on suppressing sexuality, not the gay cure. If they feel that way they should save themselves a lot of time and go directly to a psychiatrist because that will be their next stop anyway.
You would think people would have got the message by now that homosexuality is not a disease to be cured but a sexual preference. And very few of them think otherwise unless shamed into thinking differently.
Her attitude was discredited sometime in the 1950s when gays began to resist the conventional psychiatric dogma that homosexuality was a medical disorder and a mental illness.
Just another tool used by the Christian right to reinforce the idea of homosexuals as outcasts, and to justify the homophobic rhetoric that has become an acceptable form of discourse in conservative circles. Do you think maybe any of that shame you mentioned could be from being told it's a sin?
Anti-gay leaders stumble out of the closet quite frequently it seems. Many of them leaders in their own churches. Why don't they get the "cure". What if, I said what if a right wing government or church wants to force the "cure" on people. Would you have I right to stay that way?
We wouldn't have to speculate if she would come out of hiding, only coming out long enough to recite that same speech again.

Does Palin believe homosexuality's innate, as in you're born gay, or a choice?
The point I was trying to make is she won't come out of hiding and talk.

[howdy ya'll]

I do not think she is hiding, she is schooling. That shows that she is smart.

As far as gays being 'shamed' of their preference, sure, I must agree, but I also feel there are those that are 'Ashamed' and do not want to be that way. A disease, absolutely not, born that way, I lean toward that. Just like a boy is born a boy and does boy things and a girl is born a girl and does girl things. I do not think it is a taught process, I think one is born like that.

I have 2 older boys and a younger girl,(well, at that time) and even tho my little girl was around her older brother and all of their 'boy' things, she would always find her purse and a baby doll to play with.

Now I have 2 older girls and a younger boy, and even tho they have the girl toys, he always finds the ball and the guns, and sees how far he can pee in the yard. It is just something we are born with, and I feel the gays have that same natural born identity.

I am not defending gay, or fighting them. It is just not for me and I, not my church, but me, teach my kids the same.
