Alan PUHLEASEE Some perhaps but they hardly fit the stereotype that YOU are putting them in!
And as someone whose husband (as well as numerous family members including one who died in Iraq last year) serves in the military in this country I am deeply offended by her statement in or out of context. That's why all of those a$$hole politicians have speech writers. And also why I would never make it in any capacity in politics because I can't keep my mouth shut.
It speaks volumes about their arrogance- as if this country would just go to hell without their saving it. Its four years for God's sake and the checks and balances of the Senate and House do limit any presidents power.
If they aren't proud of this country and all it is -the good, bad and the, ugly, Dem or Repub, Liberal Conservative . . .
Why in the hell would you want to lead it? Move

If you don't like the fact that I am not proud of a lot of what this country has done, you move your stupid ass out of here. This is America and we are allowed to speak the truth here, fuckwad. Why don't you move to Russia which operates much more along the lines you would like to see here?
Are you proud of our massacre, displacement, and imprisonment of Native Americans?
Can you really say you're proud we gave small pox infected blankets to the Cherokee?
Are you proud of slavery? Are you proud that your relatives (more likely than not) owned blacks that they beat and kept ignorant by force?
Are you proud of the concentration camps we put Japanese Americans in during WWII?
Are you proud of the Viet Nam war?
Are you proud of everything you've done in your life?
Fucking simpleton.

Don't be ridiculous.
Of course I am not proud of everything I have done but I am still proud to be me.
Same with this country Have there been HUGE mistakes absolutely (that would be true of any country) that doesn't mean that I am not proud to live here. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else!
You know nothing about how I would like to see this country run. I am glad that we are free to express how completely misguided we are for an entire forum to read.
I really have no idea why I am wasting time debating this with someone who merely likes to hear himself yell. That's really what you do on here day in an day out. Why are you hell bent on posting political topics on climbing website.
Is it the only place you feel safe?
As far as my political leanings - I don't discriminate - I pretty much hate them all. It really boils down to what flavor of shit you want to eat for four years.
What really burned my ass is her arrogance which is probably why you can relate so well with them. Did you go to the same school?

Had to say, I just watched the video of her saying this and it was actually quite painful.
The room was very quite and she became more and more uncomfortable as she no doubt realized that she had just made a big boo boo!

What the f ever, everyone shut the hell up on this matter. We are bickering about what a polititions wife said durring an election year. She was probably just trying to relate to those who don't like GW, it came out wrong. If I was held accountable for everything I said at face value, my girlfriend would have dumped my ass a long time ago. If that really has any effect on the way you are going to vote, then you are an incompetant f-wad.
