so its come down to being a model, runs skin deep and very hollow despite what their views are, then its good i never voted on that election thread for outsiders of the usa.

it seems its going that way, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a former male model turned governor, Gemma Garret still a female model and is working on becoming a councilor in her part of the united kingdom. i am sure their will be more of this heading our way in a few years from now.

Wait, where did anyone say that?

They're talking about gender, not looks.

[Al Tarket]

if you say so General Battuta. people talking about whos got what giblets i think sounds like a look thing. unless i am missing the point again.

[Nuclear1]

We're talking purely about gender, not looks.

'Having boobs' means female, no statement on the quality of those boobs.

What about man boobs?

Palin is a relatively young, attractive woman, but I sincerely doubt that such qualities would be of much benefit to her political career. They might win her a tiny percentage of the hooligan vote, but for a lot of people it’d only undermine her credibility. (Look! She’s pretty! She was a pageant queen! She can’t possibly have a brain in that cute little head! /sarcasm)

What McCain is hoping for is that women will identify with a female candidate – that they voted for Clinton because she’s female, not because she’s progressive and has appealing stances on issues that are relevant to their lives. He thinks that they’ll look at Palin and say “Look, a woman in power! She must be just like me!” instead of taking a serious look at her politics.
 
If it’s really the bits that make the candidate, then we’d all be just as happy to vote for Ann Coulter. Nice try, McCain, but I’m not fooled.

Ann Coulter doesn't have female genitals. She had them surgically removed when they removed her heart and soul.

You mean her heart. She never had a soul.

And the plot thickens...

According to America's leading health agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): "About one-third of girls in the United States get pregnant before age 20."

Bristol Palin's pregnancy was announced on Monday

Governor Palin herself has said she opposes funding sexual-education programmes in Alaska and has supported abstinence programmes in schools.

Karma's a *****.

[WMCoolmon]

Well, there's not much else to do in Alaska anyways, is there? Persistence pays off, even if you do use a rubber each time...

[BloodEagle]

If people can get pregnant with a .0001% chance of success, I should be able to get a freaking Broken Antenna.

[redsniper]

more like 3%

[Colonol Dekker]

Is broken antenna slang?
 
Also earlier gonads were mentioned. Gonads are testes. Women can't have em
I've gotta be honest i've never really heard the co-pilot when taking a flight so i never thought about em driving. /Mystic metaphor/

High school biology is fun!

[Androgeos Exeunt]

Looks like the media is scrutinising Sarah Palin's family background.

[MP-Ryan]

The Palin family mess has little place in politics but for three things:
1.  The automatic announcement she's keeping the child.
2.  The fact that mom is perfectly happy having her 17-year old daughter marry the 18-year old father.
3.  Palin's support of abstinence-only sex ed.

This just reeks of someone whose social agenda in office will be to entirely destroy modern sex education in the United States, which has already taken some really nasty hits under Bush.  Much as I disagree with bringing the family life of a candidate into politics, this is one case where it is quite relevant.

And WTF is with these bass-ackwards Republicans believing abstinence-only sex education is a good thing?  Studies show constantly that rates of teen pregnancy and sexual transmitted disease are LOWER in kids who have actually received meaningful sex ed.

[karajorma]

Yep, you've basically summed up why it is relevant. My opinion on the private lives of politicians is that it is no business of the general public unless they are publicly denouncing something they are doing in public.

Palin is advocating abstinence only sex-ed yet couldn't even get her own daughter to abstain. No doubt she plans to blame the school for that.

Allegedly, she has a history of attempting to suppress Media that doesn't appeal to her own personal tastes. But now she's a VP Candidate, all the dirts going to be dug up, so expect several cases of things blown out of proportion.
