A Pig is Still a Pig!!  

yea,you are right .a pig is still a pig.howmuch ever one tries to keep it clean it will still love muddy and dirty water.like that a politician will always be a politician.i do not mean to demean any one but i think that is the truth.

you are right about both parties. they just spend to much time looking for something on each other. they should be talking about how to get out of this mess our government is in

NIT picking. thats all this is. nit picking. C'mon folks, surely we can do better than this can't we?

I'm really glad 0bama got a big laugh for this. It will encourage him to do it some more. This will cause him to lose the election. Such remarks are not Presidential and people will not vote for the person making such remarks repeatedly. People know we do not need a smart arse in the white house. 0bama is on the road to getting people to laugh at him rather than vote for him. Good for you, 0bama!

Hello Whiteheather,

I'm in full agreement with Redyellowblackdog. If Obama stays on this 'attack Palin' track, he will be responsible for 'defeating himself' in this election -- which is certainly his prerogative.

Sen. Obama has defied tradition by sullying himself in attacks against the V.P. candidate. This is a 'newbie' mistake, which not only highlights his lack of political experience and savvy, it relegates John McCain as the more mature, more focused, more 'presidential' candidate. It is a foolhearty move that David Axelrod (the Team Obama lead strategist) should be definitively discouraging. Hmmm, since I don't have access to the inner workings of Team Obama, that last sentence may be wholly out-of-line. For all I know David Axlerod might be advising Sen. Obama to avoid this 'amateurish' mistake, and it may well be that Sen. Obama is ignoring the advice of his advisers. Who knows? Either way, it is a significant error in judgement on Sen. Obama's part.

Also, I would be remiss in not pointing out that this is an exellent example of the stark contrast between Sen. Obama's rhetoric, and his actions. He spoke so loftily of 'a different kind of politics' and of himself as a 'different kind of politician' -- yet he shows himself to be on par with any 'old-styled, hack, politician'.

If the voter is to employ the sage advice of judging a person's deeds, rather than their words, then I suspect that Sen. Obama is either wittingly or unwittingly disappointing a great many of those who chose to support him because of his earlier image. Can anyone honestly suggest that the "lipstick on a pig" remark is one that a 'different kind of politician' would make???

To your highly applicable question about specifics Whiteheather -- you're absolutely 'spot on' in your point. If there's one unwavering truth about this election season it is that it's woefully lean on specifics. Americans have real, serious issues to address:

- The potential of decades of irresponsible energy policy to bankrupt this nation.
- The solvency of Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid.
- The 2nd highest business tax rate in the world -- which has driven so many jobs to foreign shores ... and the hard, cold reality that additional tax increases on U.S. businesses will further drive those companies off-shore.
- The unholy influence of special interests on our elected representatives,
- The patent refusal by elected representatives to 'serve the people' instead of their own personal interests & pockets,
- etc, etc, etc ...

I'd say that it isn't a real stretch to suggest that he who first satiates the nation's hunger for specifics will be completing a 'change of address' card by early next year!

C'mon guys, how is this an attack on Palin??? This is rediculous. Nit picking. Do people REALLy believe this was a direct intentional slight on Palin? Obama has enough genuine policy issues, can we PLEASE justfocus on those with out this kind of kindergargen whining??

Really havent been listening to anything but this junk about lipstick on a pig is still a pig! that was awful.
ANd I havent seen on news any thing that will help us poor people on SS.
And I keep signing polls about Drill here drill now!

Look at the youtube video in a later post--Grampa has used the same expression numerous times himself. Even Huckabee told Hannity he'd have to cut Obama slack on this, that it was an old expression, and didn't believe it was directed toward any one person. I thought all you "conservatives" watched the Fox Noise Channel?!

I am with you there, both parties need to stop the mud slinging. It is just too much. I am a Democrat, and I love my party, but I do not like their actions at times.

Well, he DOES have a point. Barbie is a joke. She's a liar and a thief - hey she's working for the right party, isn't she?

Polish a turd - it's still a turd and it STILL stinks!
