Comments on: Couric/McCain’s Choice, Part II http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/09/couricmccains-choice-part-ii/ A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics Sun, 22 Nov 2009 09:33:52 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: manofsteel http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/09/couricmccains-choice-part-ii/comment-page-3/#comment-161434 manofsteel Wed, 01 Oct 2008 07:44:19 +0000 http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/?p=3167#comment-161434 Ok, y'all done got me started. I was about to go to bed and I found this site. Now i"m fired up. Gov. Palin actually believed the adage that "all politics is local" She talks, acts, thinks like someone local. And that's where she shines...locally. But this race is not local. It's not Mayberry, Walton's mountain or wasilla. This is national where there is diversity. DIVERSITY, in thought, culture, experience, hopes, dreams, desires. I repeat, this aint local. Also, why does McCaint have to always stand or sit around with Palin? She wants to run with the big dogs so why is he holding her leash in the Katie Couric interview? So, I guess that means that if he were in the white house(no way, no how) he would have a baby monitor on his desk, and everytime she whinced he would run over to check on her. That "with daddy by my side" move just drained the blood out of the mcpalin effort. Folks need to get indignant and run that vaudeville act out of town. It's only because the man at the top of the stack is black that the numbers are still close. If Sen. Obama was not of color McPalin's navy would be at the bottom of the potomac, where it should be.

Why is his being a pow rate him the title of hero when he more than likely (according to the record) got shot down as a result of jerking off instead of paying attention in all the years prior?
