  1. Lady Forester de Rothschild probably doesn’t know how many homes she & her husband have either.

    Not sure why a troll’s got to try upstaging the heroism of Lilly Ledbetter, but who knows what motivates a troll. Hi hater

    In a nation of 300 million people, there will always be odd birds. Fortunately, this particular bird is a dodo.

    John McCain’s the guard dog for the second gilded age

    I heard her say “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me.” A dogwhistle to the racists–whether she’s knows it is, I couldn’t say.

    “Obama couldn’t be reached for comment about his ties to Billionaire Penny Pritzker.”

    Your statement would be more credible if Pritzker went on a bunch of talk shows trashing Clinton. Maybe Pritzker, unlike Rothschild, believes this elections is about things other than her own ego.

    I got this funny comparison of the two candidates in my inbox this morning. Thought I’d share.

    I’m a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight…..

    If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you’re ‘exotic’
    and ‘different.’

    Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you’re an American story.

    If your name is Barack you’re a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.

    Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, and you’re a maverick.

    Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.

    Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, then you’re well-grounded.

    If you spend 3 years as a community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, help register 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, 8 years as a State Sen- ator of a district of 750,000 people, chair t he state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, spend
    4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people, sponsor 131 bills, and serve
    on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works, and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you don’t have any real leadership experience.

    If your resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town of 7,000 people, 2 years as governor of a state of 650,000 people, you’re qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

    If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 daughters, all within Protestant churches, you’re not a real Christian.

    If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, left your ill wife, and married the heiress the next month, you’re a Christian.

    If you teach responsible, age-appropriate sex education, including the use of birth control, you erode the
    fiber of American society.

    If you staunchly advocate abstinence-only education, while your teen daughter ends up pregnant, you’re responsible.

    If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, you don’t represent America’s family values.

    If your husband is called ‘First Dude’, has a DWI conviction, didn’t register to vote until 25, and was a member of a group that advocated secession of Alaska from the USA, yours is the quintessential American family.

    And, finally, if you’re famous for your quick temper, you’re the one to have your finger on the red nuclear button.

    OK, much clearer now!

    didn’t register to vote until 25,

    wow, he’s an early bird, Rush Limbaugh waited ’til he was 35.

  12. william says:

    Vanessa,

    Those are funny. Especially the ones about “protestant” churches and “community organizing”. Maybe you should elaborate. You know…Wright, Phelger, Farrakan, Ayers, Alinsky, ACORN, etc.

    Don’t do it Vanessa, stick with the truth
