Patch_W_Adams's St Louis Blog

Going to turn into a campaign about race/gender issues? Man, it has been about the BS since the begining. I would give anything for them to get on the track about what they are going to do for us.
Who cares about the kids or wives or color or gender. Well, seems a lot of people do. We need the bar opened again patch, because I need many many double shots at the moment!

Amen Mechany... Good thinking about the Pub..but what Music..or Muszac?? lol

I agree Mommy1982...It's also known as Divide and Conquor...they divide us On Silly Issues..so they don't have to answer hard questions....sad..

Our politial system is nothing more than hate filled GOTCHA . They never tell how their going to do all the things they say they will do .
I could care less if a person is 1/4 black , 1/4 white , 1/4 brown and 1/4 yellow . If they can get the job done .
This I do know , When anyone starts name calling , finger pointing and talking load . They are scared and have something to hide .

Well Patch, it looks like you have a lot to learn about politics. Negative AD's, by McCain accusing Obama for the high gas prices, making higher Tax's on the American public.
Issues, well the real issue comes down to this, In Whom Do You Put Your Trust..? Oboma or McCain?
Health care, higher fuel prices, job loss, cost of living out of control, the Iraq war, mortgage failures, bank failures, the national debt sky rocketing through the roof, stock market fraud, Identity theft, credit card debt, and a lot more problems then we really want to admit to as a nation.
To say this election is about race is true, to say it is about gender, that too is true. To say how we should judge these people applying for the jobs of President and Vice President of these United States is Wrong..!
We judge these people on moral issues, ability, and ideas. To represent us the people of the United States.
If I find McCain/Palin to be better suited for the job I will vote for them. If I find Oboma/Biden better suited I will vote for them. Until then, I will Judge them all on their moral, social, and intellectual ability to govern this great nation of ours.

Harry Truman said, "just be honest and it will be like hell for the Republicans".
The best people President from Missouri was President Anderson. A man who stood for moral justice, honest government and kept the country safe for his full term. (24 hours)

Okay I'll bite. I never saw a 'President Anderson' on my list of presidents in school and haven't heard of him before. Apparently he was a vice-president standing as president when another was sick or injured, I'm guessing Harding but I don't know.

I agree with not judging Mrs. Palin by the pregnancy of her daughter. I don't think Republicans would have let it slide as much had the situation been reversed, but I still won't judge her for that.

What bothers me more is the usual image projected by the Republican party that this is just an "average soccer mom" - a leader and mother, not unlike the average American mom!

Just this morning, I saw a video on Fox of her in her camouflage firing a high-powered automatic rifle so powerful it made her head jerk. Average American Mom? "Soccer mom"??? I don't think so.

I know lots of average American moms, many of them literally soccer moms, yet I've never seen any of them don their camouflage and shoot big guns.

I think this image and this alone should be enough to convince us that, once again, the Republicans don't represent you and me but the rich, rural landowner - not the average working man and woman, but the privileged radical militant fringe element of our nation.

I think Mrs. Palin does represent a woman who certainly does exist in this country - just not in large enough numbers to be truly "representative" of the average woman in America.

I think this choice for a VP sends a strong and very obvious signal about who the Republican party represents.

And it's not MOST of us.

I am a mother of 2 and I have put on my camouflage to go hunting with my husband. Albeit it was hard to keep perfectly quiet giving that I'm a girl and we talk a lot....but that doesn't make me any less average than any other mother out there.I don't know if you've paid much attention, but Palin comes from a middle-class family. She doesn't work with the big oil companies...she fights against them. I think the main reason Democrats attack on Republicans involving money and the riches is because they are not happy with what they have for themselves.

Q: Will you support funding for abstinence-until-marriage education instead of for explicit sex-education programs, school-based clinics, and the distribution of contraceptives in schools?
A: Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support.

Quote from Sarah Palin.

Why is it that we continue to teach abstinence only in schools? We need to teach our children that it is best to wait but also provide them with the knowledge and the know how to avoid teen pregnancy and the spread of STD’s. Children are going to have sex regardless; we cannot stop that. Abstinence only is an out dated way of thinking. With teen pregnancies on the rise isn’t that proof enough that we need to do something more? Maybe if Palin would have tought her daughter proper ways to avoid getting pregnant instead of saying don't have sex until you are married then her daughter wouldn't be pregnant right now.

Sarah Palin's daughter knows all about immaculate conception. She learned it from her gun sling mommy.
Keep the folks in Alaska dumb and my family dumber is Sarah view.
Only God makes babies and that is a well know fact according to the Bible.
Heck, why even have public schools is her view. Just save the taxpayer some money and have the taxpayer keep their dumb kids at home and teach them their selves.
Now that is a view of a good Republican. Because George Bush has under funded the entire public school system in this country since he and the Republicans have been running it since 2000. The "No Child Left Behind Program" leaves all the children behind.
The Republicans scream "Home School your Kids..!" While millions of Americans are left with not being able to stay at home to school their children.
The secular Home School idea has many flaws and creates a class society. The Have's and Have's Not's...!
In Missouri our state Moto is "United We Stand - Divided We Fall."
Under the Republican home school plan, we will become divided and our nation will fall.
