Thanks - just answered.

[Truthfreesus]

You and a lot of others are missing the point entirely. Palin knows very well what these people are. Her doing this kind of thing is like a raid into enemy territory. Look at some of the other pictures, the woman carried a fur purse into the middle of these frauds. I Love It! From the meows of M Dowd, it sounds like she was the belle of the ball (holding court) much to the dismay of the lefty cats. I’ve seen it before, these lefties fall all over theirselves to meet her. I think she has a great sense of irony about the whole thing, and enjoys tweaking them.

[Rastus]

I believe the bald man is Jeffrey Tambour. The trio behind him is George Lucas, Kate Capshaw, Spielberg.

[iowamark]

Michael Douglas was never married to Dowd. They dated between his marriages.

[onedoug]

Oh.

Thanks FRiends.

[Lazamataz]

I know that MoDo can be very catty and nasty at times, but which parts of the article do you object to?

Every single word, including 'and' and 'the'.

[Lazamataz]

I’m not sure what that means.

It means 'Hatred originating from disreputable gentlemen is going to continually persist.

[Lazamataz]

Please let me in on the karoke for publishing concept....

[Lazamataz]

What’s funny is I think given that I will confess I have actually wandered onto BDSM sites online ....by accident of course

Me too. Accidently wandered into the BDSM sites. And the cigarette-smoking dominitrix sites. And the latex fetish sites. And the My Little Pony frottage sites. And the rubber-bulb crushing sites. And the watersports sites. And the adult-baby-dirty-diaper-fetish sites.

Always by accident.

Over and over and over again.

[Lazamataz]

Contrary to the immature spoutings of some of the folks here, I don’t hate Palin. Why should I? I tend to direct my hate toward some of those people who I interact with on a personal level, specifically liars and bullies.

I've noticed for a long time, a decade or so, you tend to take a non-conservative and/or anti-Freerepublic stance. You sided with Bob J, for example, repeatedly, when it was clear he was starting to attempt to sabotage FR. Your brand of 'conservatism' has seemed weak and forced over the years. I suspect you are closer to a 'progressive Republican' than anything else, and you are certainly no friend of the forum.

[Ditter]

I agree about the dress, not good. I am surprised because she always looks so great in everything she wears. She has a wonderful slim figure but you would never know it in that dress.

Bravo and Excellent Perception Laz.

They Share our point of views, but have some... Concerns.

I Like Sarah BUT

I Like Ted Cruz BUT

I think Conservatives should do this BUT

Buts are for Rifles, but you will find the Vichy Republicans have more of them than a Gun Show.

[Lazamataz]

Been watching him for a while. Ever since he sided with Bob J when he libeled me horribly. BJ almost caught a lawsuit on that one, and ES doggedly backed him no matter what. Despite the libel, despite all BJ did to try to damage FR after he was persona non grata, despite it all, ES was gonna stick by Bob.

Sent my radar pinging.

[RightOnTheBorder]

Perhaps. I only have my own personal notions to go by. Four or Five years ago she would have been my top pick. Now I would go for Cruz before Palin, though I would likely take Palin over the rest of the GOP crop.

Laz, I remember you and Bob having an altercation. I don't remember what it was about. I tried to stay out of it because I considered both you and Bob to be my friends.

I do, however, remember that you and I had a friendly private chat on Facebook and it might have been around that time.

[RinaseaofDs]

I still think the left is scared out of their mind by Palin. They respect her, and that’s the thing that is scary.

Before Walker was doing it to the unions, she was taking on HER OWN CORRUPT PARTY in Alaska. The left and right got together to bankrupt her through lawsuits. She had no choice but to bail. McCain hired her because he had zero credibility, even within the establishment. The left liked him better than the right, but not enough to vote for him for President.

Palin is a bankroll and serious campaign consulting away from holding any office she wants. The left knows this.

If she does take office, she’ll stop, and partially reverse the damage to the federal court system.

Beyond Cruz, I don’t see another candidate doing that.

[SevenofNine]

See if you stick with FR we explain everything to a point here LOL! if you stick around FR forum you get to know the rules LOL!

[Mears]

I don’t think Dowd has ever been married.

.

[EveningStar]

Dowd is 63. I’ve found no indication that she’s ever been married.

[Ditter]

Are you sure the Dowdy one was married to M Douglas? Or did she just want to be married to him!
