Yes, gay people can be just as self-hating as the other minorities.

McCain really DID used to be a Maverick!

For a long time.

But he seems to have shifted right since 9/11.

Least I am hoping it was 9/11 ..

And not just him sliding right because he wanted to be President.

I think his Maverick status is dead and buried to be honest... cozying up to the very men who destroyed him in 2000 shows him up as a spineless asshole... "straight talk express" dead too.. couldnt answer a straight question now to save his life..

I didn't know the part about Gary Hart before. That shit's hilarious.

Yes I knew that marriage fell apart while he was SEPARATED and that he professed it was the one thing he felt truly sorry about in his life that he could have or should have fixed.

So a guy "cheats" (if you can call it that ) while separated and then gets a divorce and that makes him a "womanizer"???

(plus Id give them both credit for at least initially trying to make it work after such a long time away from each other, plus all the issues he may have been dealing with post internment)

That hardly qualifies the man for that title. Please people , if that's all there is then I cry "bullshit"

I know, you wouldn't have a problem if he was clearly a womanizer anyway, considering the misogynistic, shallow shit you post here all the time.

But if it's done equally for male and female politicians, then it's merely stupid, rather than sexist, and I guess I can't be too shocked at stupidity in some quarters of the news media.
I hear it all the time when someone mentions some name that might not be generally known, to humanize them. Who's this? Oh, Governor, mother, four children. I'm sure if he had picked Romny there would be something about Mormans, probably something about the Olympics, something about family.

Thats one way to look at it I guess. Probably the reason in some cases.

I dated a really wild man-hating femme lesbian for a while who was both ultra-republican conservative AND nearly a fundie, she was so Christian. She was also deeply into BDSM in her RL. So she was like contradictions all over the map.

But a lot of people just shift to be more Conservative as they get Older, too.

You're right. Leaving your disabled wife who waited for your dumb ass while you were in a POW camp for a younger woman just makes you a prick. Not a womanizer.

The thing about this "scandal" is that she is cooperating fully with the investigation and so no subpoena's were needed. Which means she knows that it'll come to nothing. She also uncovered corruption in her own party.

Oh good, she's also a big fan of creationism being taught in science class:
Afarensis: Intelligent Design and the Alaska Governor's Race

Bomb her into the ground from orbit just to be sure.

The image is more about a woman's correct sphere being home and family. It's dismissive to refer to a woman you're evaluating as a leader and political administrator as a mom... which is why you don't see this done to male politicians unless it's to play the morality card.

She lost like half a foot of her height and walked with a limp aswell.. The Reagans looked after her while John was away and apparently never forgave him for what he did to her.

OK Well then if you have nothing intelligent to say at all about the topic, or as a repsonse---then insult the person. Way to go Josh.

Hmmm, I don't remember ever going after you in such a personal way.

I'm just observing that your take on relationships between men and women is ... er ... yours, and probably affects your summation of McCain in this regard. :shrug:
