set 'em up, Joe

I tell you, Joe, if you'd just shut up about warfare more often and stick to things we need to do this way, we could have a coffee. Maybe get along better.

(My political posts will continue throughout the season. They're not designed to change the minds of those who already prefer McCain; I'm not an idealist. Or a glutton for punishment, despite my past record. *G* But maybe I have some undecideds who read; there are supposedly an awful big chunk of them in the American voting public.)

This going to sound sexist...

Biden should do his damnedest to make her cry. Seriously. He's a bulldog. You wait till the debates...

I don't think he should treat her any different than he would have Lieberman, Huckabee, or Romney. But there are those on the Republican side that DO suggest he should. Which is in itself sexist.

LIKE A LITTLE GIRL. (Actually, I've seen almost more little boys sobbing and crying than I have girls. At that age, it doesn't much matter what they are when they want attention.)

Icon Love! I won't go into details but I have to say that I totally adore it. I would love to steal, with permission, if you would be willing.

Why no details? I like details. *G*

You can take it, pass it along to the next person, and use it anywhere.

Well, as a Christian, I have been rather appalled at people who are calling themselves Christian and putting more value in the dollar and legalism than in loving God and their neighbor as themselves. I don't talk about my faith all that much because I believe in dealing with my own planks before other people's sawdust. But I saw this icon and it made me smile a big happy smile.

I've seen one floating about that somebody made of Harriet Tubman, kind of similar ... then there's a macro somewhere of the Founding Fathers, with "Community Organizers" across the bottom of it. And another of MLK Jr. addressing the March on Washington crowd.

I think I would like the Tubman one. I am using this a signature quote on another site.

"If you hear the dogs, keep going. If you see the torches in the woods, keep going. If there's shouting after you, keep going. Don't ever stop. Keep going. If you want a taste of freedom, keep going."~~Hariet Tubman~~

I don't have the Tubman one, but I think [livejournal.com profile] roux_the_pirate might know something about it ...

I'd like to know some of her positions, too. I mean, aside from the anti-abortion, pro-abstinence sex ed ones, that is.

You know what? If I were Joe Biden, I'd step down from the VP nomination and have Obama put Hillary in. If you want to see a real debate, nobody could accuse Hillary of being sexist, and she could be a lot more vicious than Biden could ever dream of being. It would also bring those rogue Hillary voters back to the Dem ticket. Seeing Hillary tear Sarah Barracuda a new one without being personal in any way, shape or form would be awesome.:)
