Am surprised you have any tolerance for politics. The comment is 'sharp-tongued'. . .a 'biting criticism' perhaps. . .but 'dispicable' is in the mind of the beholder. . .and personally, think your observation and critique and personal attack; go beyond the Golden Rule you speak of.
Yes, that’s where I thought it was... :)
That’s the chapter that requires parents’ wages to be garnished if they haven’t purchased health insurance for their child.
Sounds to me like you got push polled.
******************
What is push polled? That wasn’t the only thing asked about. They asked about approval scale 1-10 on all candidates and also about the spouses and if I think they affect the race.
Aha. Now I see what inspired your comment calling the original poster un-Christian...you think the word "wench" means "whore."
I'd suggest you call out the original poster on that point, rather than slandering him as un-Christian. He might not have meant the word the way you took it.
"Wench" can simply mean the opposite of lady (in the old-fashioned sense of "lady" meaning a gracious woman, regardless of her economic or social status).
Michelle Obama has amply demonstrated that she is harsh, negative, rude, and condescending. She lacks class in the sense that she is completely un-gracious. "Wench" might not be the word I'd choose for that kind of woman, but it isn't necessarily the wrong word.
For the record, I'm not real thrilled with Cindy McCain either. But for different reasons.
c.1290 wenche "girl or young woman," shortened from wenchel "child" (12c.), from O.E. wencel, probably related to wancol "unsteady, fickle, weak," and cognate with O.N. vakr "child, weak person," O.H.G. wanchal "fickle." The word degenerated through being used in ref. to servant girls, and by 1362 was being used in a sense of "woman of loose morals, mistress." The verb meaning "to associate with common women" is from 1599.
So you're telling us that you wish to ignore that Obama has a low class loud mouth wench for a wife, because you would rather that nobody said that you have a low class loud mouth wench for a wife?
The mildest forms of push polling are designed merely to remind voters of a particular issue. For instance, a push poll might ask respondents to rank candidates based on their support of abortion in order to get voters thinking about that issue.
More negative are attacks on another candidate by using polls. These attacks often contain information with little or no basis in fact.
One way to distinguish between push polling as a tactic and polls which legitimately seek information is the sample size. Genuine polls make do with small, representative samples, whereas push polls can be very large, like any other mass marketing effort.
True push polls tend to be very short, with only a handful of questions, so as to make as many calls as possible. Any data obtained (if used at all) is secondary in importance to negatively impacting the targeted candidate. Legitimate polls are often used by candidates to test potential messages. They frequently ask about either positive and negative statements about any or all major candidates in an election and always ask demographic information at the end.
The main advantage of push polls is that they are an effective way of maligning an opponent ("pushing" voters towards a predetermined point of view) while avoiding direct responsibility for the distorted or false information used in the push poll. They are risky for this same reason: if credible evidence emerges that the polls were directly ordered by a campaign/candidate, it would do serious "backfire" damage to that campaign. Push polls are also relatively expensive, having a far higher cost per voter than radio or television commercials. Thus, push polls are most used in elections with fewer voters, such as party primaries, or in close elections where a relatively small change in votes can mean victory or defeat.
Bush got a 1206 SAT (before recentering, which corresponds to 1280 after they dumbed down the test). Which while not National Merit Scholar range, is not so bad
Be that as it may, YouTube links will flood the Internet until November.
MICHELLE, DUMBBELL
Tune: "Michelle"
Michelle, dumbbell
You say words that call our country hell
Mad Michelle
Michelle, dumbbell
Now we know you're just traitorous scum
Traitorous scum
"I wasn't too proud of my country"
That's what you had to say
Why don't you go away
You can stay in lovely lands like France or Afghanistan
Michelle, dumbbell
Now we know you're just traitorous scum
Traitorous scum
I need to proceed to secede you
I need to make you leave
This place that makes you grieve
Until I do I'm hoping you will please shut your trap
I mean you . . .
I want ya to move to Botswana
Or maybe Mozambique
I'm sure it's very chic
And run don't walk, go get Barack and take him along
Michelle, dumbbell
Now we know you're just traitorous scum
Traitorous scum
And you can stay in lovely lands like France or Afghanistan
Mad Michelle
This is a score, I can’t wait for the next Michelle Obama “how I view America and race relations” to spill out of that “controlled for now” arrogant mouth of hers. LIKE WIFE LIKE HUSBAND! DO YOU WANT THIS WOMMAN AS YOUR FIRST LADY
Michelle Obama hasnt said one thing about the US before the year 2007 that would make her proud to be a citizen of the greatest nation in the history of mankind that has placed her amongst the most privliged of the elite in this country.
I never thought that I would see a spouse of a presidential candidate who was more of a radical, narcissistic, arrogant, hubristic, self-entitled, and maddening solipsist than Hilary Clinton. To the nations dismay, I think we have found her. She is the Obama campaign loose cannon Benito Mussolini face of liberal facism that Barack Hussein Obama is so careful to mask.
Well, if they were pushing for Hillary, they found out she is more evil in my mind than him.
