So since the country is in a cluster, we need to elect this f***ing retard? The mindless defense you people come up with for this woman is staggering.
Have you actually put these comments in context? Have you researched enough to know how old the comments are?
She isn't a retard. Do you really think that kind of namecalling makes you convincing or informed?
DEAL WITH HER POLICY STATEMENTS and stop falling for the smear campaign. The abstinence statements if I'm not mistaken were made well over 10 years ago. The witchcraft deal was when she was in HS.
If you exclude everyone who has ever made a stupid statement... then you exclude everyone to include you and me.
Just curious though... why don't Obama's stupid statments bother the press and by extention you as much? Did you know that Al Gore could not correctly identify a bust of Thomas Jefferson while VP? Where was the blanket coverage of something that stupid?
The same people who lament smear campaigns, the politics of personal destruction, and negative election campaining are pushing this... and many of you are falling for it.
This woman has said a few dumb things I'm sure. But her biggest "sin" is bucking the establishments of both parties and the media. All three hate the Tea Party because they really have disdain for the "real Americans" they represent... and she seems to be the easiest target right now.
And again, you guys are falling for it. Goebbels would be proud.
If you want to disagree with her, disagree on the issues or whether you think she is honest enough to serve. Use statements and beliefs that are both current and accurately reflect her policy positions and personal character... stop buying into the use of far-flung statements to assassinate her character.
