So, according to Pissant, Rep. Bachmann is not a woman and that is why he supports her?

I'm tempted to send this to Canadian "friends" of ours who became naturalized 10+ years ago, have lived in the US over 40 years....but, voted for Obama...and derisively laughed at Palin....and tell them...

Excellent point. It begs the question. How many who voted for this man are and will always be dual citizens? I would imagine at least 20 million, not including the illegal immigrants and green card holders.

We are being overrun by foreigners who have no interest in becoming sole citizens of the United States. It is time to amend the Constitution to exclude dual citizenship and start shipping fence straddlers back home. This will close many doors for illegal immigrants in the process. I have a theory that many of these criminals are being harbored by dual nationals from Mexico. The same applies to companies. A poll would be appropriate to confirm this, but I believe it will reveal I am correct in my assumptions.

I saw about 30 seconds of her on Fox News the other day, and had to turn it off because it made me cringe.

But hopefully she’s working on it.

[Scutter]

No, I didn’t see this. Glad to hear they are de-Bushing her public speaking capabilities, though.

If SP hadn't left the governorship and thus not been able to help spearhead the Tea Party miracle of 11/2/10—nobody would have heard of my new Gov Nikki Haley—or a lot of other Tea Party winners for that matter.

The truth bears repeating.

Don't forget firing a missile from a parked plane on the deck of a carrier.

I suppose that's alright as long as he hit his intended target.

I'm no McCain fan, but it was his jet that was hit by the malfunctioning Zuni rocket on the Forrestal.

what do you consider to be my “trump card?”

[Tzimisce]

The media is biased and loves Obama?

No!

Still - its a good list of media hypocrisy.

My main problem with the article is that it was written in past tense. It still continues to this day.

Not in my book, it isn't. Military command is nothing like executive leadership in either business or political office.

Absolutely laughable. By any reasonable definition of the term, executive experience would include a military command. Indeed, a military command is far better executive experience than most political office or business. Google "executive experience, Presidents" and you will find several listed with references to the military command.

You are technically correct but go read this later account. Sheds new light on the fire.

This simply isn't true. John McCain, like him or hate him, was a Captain in the United States Navy and was the commanding officer of the Navy's largest squadron of aircraft.

Want to tell us how many aircraft he crashed?

[itsahoot]

One white dude,two chicks, and two blacks

One white, one black, one blonde, maybe they could do a TV show. :)

[freedomwarrior998]

You really are missing the point. The claim was that Palin was the only major candidate with executive experience. This is a lie. McCain had executive command experience in the military.

Thus, Palin was not the only major candidate with executive experience.

Further, as for the “plane crashes” (which are irrelevant to the point made) http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_mccain_crash_five_planes_did_he.html

I was tempted to respond to the comments of Retired Army that are on the article, but they wanted too much personal info to register. He lucked out.

That is, by far, one of the most truthful pieces of writing I’ve seen about Sarah Palin. It mirrors everything that I ,myself, have personally witnessed since she first announced her candidacy for US Vice President.

I believe that most Americans on the center-right (and even some on the left) have witnessed the same things, and know these things to be fact.

Sarah never deserved the savage treatment she’s received from the press, the entertainment establishment, the rank and file left, and even some on the right (you listening, pissant?).

That she has continued to stand tall, and even thrive in the face of this unprecedented assault, is a testament to the extremely fine quality of her character and strength.

It’s my opinion that all Americans of good conscience should support this unique and valuable patriot — one of our nation’s finest.

[Windflier]

Send it to your ex-Canadian friends, anyway, but without the “You weren’t born here....”

They may read it and have a realization or two.
