See, I said if someone said something positive about Hilary the same kind of things would be said by repubs that the dems say about the three stoogettes.

They're politically incorrect, not sugar coaters. For that, they get labelled as stupid. But if they were stupid, they would not be where they are.

Hillary dumped the political correctness a few times. And she got dumped for telling the truth of what was going on..........

Quotes?; Quotes?............How about some from the Democrats, and not even from those considered "loonies".

Patty Murray (Sen, D, WA) says "He's (Osama bin Laden) been out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day-care facilities, building health-care facilities, and these people are extremely grateful. We haven't done that."

—Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) expressing concern during a congressional hearing that the presence of a large number of American soldiers might upend the island of Guam -
''My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.''

Joe Biden, to Missouri state Sen. Chuck Graham, who is in a wheelchair, Columbia, Missouri, Sept. 12, 2008 - ''Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya.''

Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) on Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) - ''I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), on the prospects of Republicans taking back control of Congress, May 21, 2010 - ''Why would you want to put people in charge of government who just don't want to do it? I mean, you wouldn't expect to see al Qaeda members as pilots.''

Marion Barry, former mayor of Washington, D.C. - ''What right does Congress have to go around making laws just because they deem it necessary?''

I've got a million of them..................:)

Are you kidding me? Boy, oh boy. What a post. So you obviously have problems with blond women. But, I am confused. You don't like Megyn Kelly because she is blond, attractive, smart or a woman? Or is it the fact that she is not only a journalist, but a journalist with a law degree and children on top of that.

Name you one with the smarts to go against Romney or Paul? How about US Rep. Kristi Noem, R-SD. Oh, she's attractive too. Or Florida US Rep. Sandy Adams, R, or one of my favorites; Republican Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers.

No, I don't have a problem with blonde women. You completely missed my point. My point about Megan was that FOX NEWS replaced her with bottle-blonde after bottle-blonde.

My problem with Megan is that I watched a tape of her from 2008 saying that mandated maternity leave and the FMLA was a step to socialism - and now that she's just come back from maternity leave, it's suddenly a "hallmark of a civilised society" (a tape from a recent interview).

So it's BAD until you NEED it. Anyone who has read my posts for a while knows that my problem is the DOUBLE STANDARD. Megan was hypocritical in her stance on laws requiring a person's job be kept for them while on maternity leave. Before pregnant? It was bad. After giving birth? It's good.

And then you go on to make my point. You mention a couple of other conservative/Republican women. Let's assume for a moment (since I have no reason not to) that they're more intelligent. THEY'RE NOT RUNNING. That was my point - the smart people don't get the PR. They don't get the groupies, sorry, the "pundits", going on TV saying they should run.

OMG....What the heck is wrong with learning and admitting from your life experience that you were wrong on a particular stance????

And if somebody realizes they were wrong about a stance, why would you not want them to be authentic and admit that publicly?? Do you prefer that Megyn Kelly hide the fact that she learned by life experience--not in law school--that a new mother needs time to heal and bond, and time to get thru the months (not weeks) of sleep deprivation????

A lot of us happen to respect people who are mature enough to admit we were wrong previously!!

And by the way, those of us who have given birth now look back and sometimes say to ourselves, "OMG......I actually thought I knew everything there was to know about parenting and child care, before I had kids. Looking back, I didn't know ANYTHING!!"

Honest people admit they were brought to their knees by new motherhood, and that surviving the relentless 24/7 work at home as a new mother is when you truly "get your degrees".

I knew there were going to be postings by some conservatives who were just going to put up funny gaffes by Democrats. Not being able to think of a single Supreme Court decision you disagree with during a debate with another candidate is NOT a gaffe - it is ignorance. To speak with Bill O'Reily about cloning and to state that scientists have cloned mice to have fully functioning human brains is NOT a gaffe - it is ignorance.

Obviously the resident uber-conservatives did not want to respond to the real question of my post. That question is "Why would you want to spend your hard-earned retirement money to read an obvious ghost-written book by Christine O'Donnell"? You are just going to watch her laugh all the way to the bank with your money.

But if the candidate got an answer quickly, from let's say, a teleprompter script......that would be just fine I suppose.

I am a liberal and I laugh at myself. I am truly sorry if I offended you or anyone else in this forum. I hold my candidates feet to the fire as I hope the conservatives will as well. If a liberal says something stupid or out of line.... I WILL call them on it!

I know I have my head in the sand on this one... but I only wish that more people would. We need to make sure the people who represent us have a clue and it's clear (to me) that there are those on both sides that do not.

If you have read this far... Thank you and again... My apologies...

ILOVETV- Your statement in your last post was totally inaccurate. You said "But if the candidate got an answer quickly, from let's say, a teleprompter script......that would be just fine I suppose".

This was a debate with another candidate. It was NOT a prepared speech. At a debate for office, there is NOT a teleprompter. It is live - unrehearsed - and a candidate is supposed to be knowledgable enough to give answers on the spot.

Please answer the question regarding the reason you and/or others would buy this obviously ghost-written book and have O'Donnell laugh at you all the way to the bank with your hard earned money.

I posted a lot more than gaffes Buggy. You post things like no one reads the post you're referencing. I can post a lot more, if you need more examples of the utter stupidity of many leftist pols. Let me know if you want to read more.
