Growing up we called them
September 5, 2008 - 15:47 ET by BuffNBoneGrowing up we called them spit baths. I'd say in the case it's an Alaskan Mousse.
I thought it was priceless. A coworker, daughter of a doctor had another opinion.

My wife (a doctor) and I nearly hurt ourselves laughing when we saw that. It was priceless and very touching.

Spit
September 5, 2008 - 16:00 ET by saw the lightSome comedian (maybe Jeff Foxworthy) called Mom Spit the world's best solvent. I teased my wife mercilessly the first time she did it to our daughter!
"Have mom spit on a
September 5, 2008 - 16:59 ET by JasonC"Have mom spit on a kleenex, hell, you can get rust off a trailer hitch with that."
Or something like that. I loved Foxworthy's old stand-up but haven't heard it in years.

Remember that the people
September 6, 2008 - 11:05 ET by ReaganRuledRemember that the people that post on the Leftie blogs have the mental capacity of an 8 year-old. They tend to use intellectual terms such as "eeewwww." These are the same idiots that smash windows in towns where the "adults" show up to run the Country and the World (like the Republican Convention and the G8) while the adolescents' act like .. well .. adolescents. They get Press credentials from the Leftie Press (the same Leftie Press that was observed cheering and clapping during Obam-uh-uh-uh's Greek-god speech) and disrupt a speech by OUR candidate. They embrace "free speech," but ONLY if you speak what they approve of. Otherwise, they shout you down.
So .. while the ADULTS held a civil, meaningful, productive Convention that was viewed by more Americans than the coronation ceremony at Acropolis (Denver), most Americans, fortunately, are becoming aware of the smell of rotten fish -- Obam-uh-uh-uh is last week's catch!!!

September 5, 2008 - 16:24 ET by Cape Conservativefell in love with the Palins when we saw these shots! Piper is adorable!!! The unconditional love of the entire family and their respect for one another comes across loud and clear! My hope is that it will strengthen their resilience as the future brings forth all the msm venom. And then "they" wonder why "good, ordinary" people don't want to run for office! May more and more of the msm issue more and more pink slips in the days ahead!!!
Hopefully the respect, admiration, love and prayers from all of us will help the Palin family realize they are not alone!
OK, I'm sorry
September 5, 2008 - 19:15 ET by JasonCOK, I'm sorry but...really?
This picture encapsulates not only some sort of perfect family values platform but also has somehow convinced you that Palin is prepared for the perfectly legitimate possibility of being the POTUS?
Really?!
Yes, it's very cute and all. But it is also no different from what big sisters do with their little brothers all the time. Politically, morally, ideologically, it represents nothing! I can't believe all the people on this board being taken in by this.
Is Obama's family somehow less adorable and precocious? Do they project less, somehow, in the way of family values?
If you believe Palin will be a good leader, great. I think she's wrong on everything except drilling. We can argue about those issues. But being swayed by sentimental nonsense like this is tremendously sad.

September 5, 2008 - 19:26 ET by JasonCInteresting translation. Actually, I offered to debate the issues with you. What does election-stealing have to do with anything. What I will not do is sit by uncritically while people act like Palin's children's cuteness is demonstrative of a single thing. Grow up. The POTUS election is not an Anne Geddes photo op.
And again, a serious question: is Obama's family somehow deficient in the family values/photogenic departments? That appears to be the implication.

September 5, 2008 - 19:45 ET by ScrapironJasonC, get a life. If one of Hussein O kids had done that out of the blue everyone would have thought it cute except the elitest Michelle, she would say it's not good for her children. Did anyone have a ball at the DNCC show like Rudy and Sarah did at the RNCC? Even the terrorists wing of the democrat party failed and only got shouted down, made fun of, and thrown out.
There is no joy or smiles in democrat lefty world, everything is a disaster.
I had a little curl as a child that fell on my forehead, it was spit shined many times. Didn't help, it's still there 67 years later. I don't care what my hair does as long as it doesn't fall out. Come to think of it falling out would save money on haircuts.

So sorry troll. Know that a living special needs child that is breathing fresh air and is loved and cherished, instead of lying in a dumpster, wrapped in plastic behind a Planned Parenthood Office truly offends you.

September 5, 2008 - 21:37 ET by JasonCWhat nonsense. If you all want to believe that a picture of a little girl doing what any average little girl would do while holding her baby brother is somehow indicative of Palin's worldview and abilities, be my guest; but that is just sad.
Someone actually wrote: "I sense some good parenting." Yeah, I'm sure the Palin's are fine parents. But ascertaining that from a picture like this...am I supposed to take that seriously?

Hey bal, useless but true.

You just need to get out more, or at least go back and re-read what your fellow travelers at KOS, DU, and HP are spewing.
And I don't think anyone's trying to destroy this family.
I can only gather that you have had the televsion, radio, and your computer off for the last week. Seriously, Bal - no one is trying to destroy this family? Are you so anxious to to surrender your credibility?
I have nothing to do with
September 5, 2008 - 22:27 ET by balboaI have nothing to do with Kos et al, so that means nothing to me. As if their comments would make the Trig comment OK somehow.
I think the press has gone overboard in their coverage of Palin. But trying to destroy? Nope.
You are in serious denial
September 5, 2008 - 22:35 ET by PeskyDaneYou are in serious denial over this (in my never to be humble opinion, of course). Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I do respect your efforts to distance yourself from the Left-wing Blogosphere.
Sorry. "Destroy her family"
September 5, 2008 - 22:35 ET by balboaSorry. "Destroy her family" is just outside my ability to suspend disbelief, just like that bus in "Speed" jumping over the unfinished part of the highway. :-)

No matter how many times you hose him down, he'll deny that water is wet. They didn't go after Quayle this fast. Goodness, after typing that last sentence, I took a few moments to really wrap my brain around that. They did go after Quayle like this fast. Just when you thought...

September 5, 2008 - 21:53 ET by JasonCDon't project your fantasies onto me, weirdo. I'm perfectly happy to admit it's a cute picture - I can even laugh at the captions offered here, like "you've got some liberal on you." Where I draw the line is falling into the belief that this sort of picture speaks volumes about Palin's experience or competency. That's all. Take your necrophilia elsewhere.

September 5, 2008 - 22:29 ET by PeskyDaneProjecting? Dude, do you even have the least bit of gleaning of what your fellow KOSBOTs gleefully write? You can't seriously sit there and tell me that this sort of vitriol hasn't been standard fare for the last 8 years from the Left. I'll be generous and allow that perhaps this is not your personal feeling, but if you claim to march in the ranks of the Left, then you're going to have a difficult time avoiding guilt by association.
I don't "march" with any
September 6, 2008 - 07:20 ET by JasonCI don't "march" with any "ranks." And if you want to assume that anyone left of you is a drooling, unintelligent, crass "Kosbots," then frankly you are clueless about the reality of ideological division in this country. You think the average left-leaning citizen hangs out on sites like that, or talks shit about the Palins just for sport? Your generosity notwithstanding, if these are the black-and-white terms in which many conservatives view the US populace, it will continue to be easy to out-argue them on the issues.

Coward
September 6, 2008 - 07:40 ET by Sergeant ROCKThere are some closet liberals that say such things to hide their true identity. Where you fail in your trickery is the simple fact that you expend most of your efforts criticizing the right and people of that ilk while you only feign criticism of the left, only in the posts where you're attacking the right. So, you're only fooling yourself if you think you're coming across as non-partisan without a dog in the fight.

September 6, 2008 - 07:48 ET by JasonCSarge, I am admittedly and openly left-leaning. That does not put me in league with the doofuses at DK. That is all I'm saying. I'm more critical of conservative's values because I belive they are largely wrong. But I will argue points, not say outlandish things.

Spinning in circles
September 6, 2008 - 07:58 ET by Sergeant ROCKWell, make up your mind then! So, you do have your 'rank' and file that you march with afterall. Imagine that? Just because a majority of those that share your beliefs are cause for embarrassment doesn't invalidate this fact.
Frankly, I think that you'll find a more receptive audience at the Daily Koz that you'll find here. Because, as a whole, I think that the audience here is already familiar with socialism, liberalism, Marxism, etc.
You will find no converts here. Hence, you are merely trolling.
PALIN/McCain 2008
I'm interested in spirited
September 6, 2008 - 09:34 ET by JasonCI'm interested in spirited conversation, not conversion. You are obviously unclear on the definition of 'trolling'. I have gone out of my way to answer every response, no matter how histrionically my comments are misinterpreted. And my original post was a perfectly reasonable critique. I was more than willing to just jokingly add to one of the submitted captions above (quoting Jeff Foxworthy). When one poster abandoned the captionfest theme to make a comment about how this picture validates Palin as a sound VP pick, I felt that I was justified in responding critically.

And it was only after some prodding that you admitted the fact that you're a liberal, not the individualist that you originally asserted.
PALIN/McCain 2008
You continue to think in
September 6, 2008 - 09:54 ET by JasonCYou continue to think in black and white terms. I've never denied holding liberal ideologies. I've been posting here for 2.5 years and have repeatedly referred to myself as liberal. But that does not mean that I engage in the same uninformed, inarticulate, mean-spirited blather as some people who hold the same positions as I do. I hate Code Pink and DK. Just as many conservatives probably resent Michael Savage and Ann Coulter for making their side look so bombastic and cruel. Get it? I may have overlapping beliefs, but I do not affiliate with the Democratic Party, MoveOn, DailyKos, or any other conformity-driven organ of boutique liberalism.

September 6, 2008 - 10:02 ET by Sergeant ROCKMost of the time it is black and white. Just like there's good and evil.
Then why were you dancing around being labeled a liberal in several recent posts?
Overlapping beliefs? lol Yeah, 'liberalism' and 'socialism'. And I have yet to see a convincing post by you showing the merits of anything liberal.
You simply avoid the confrontation. The Obama gun-control thread is an example.

Quit changing the goalposts. This thread hasn't been about the merits of liberal positions. It WAS about Palin, now for some reason it's about me overexplaining the obvious fact that not all liberals go about things the way that people on DK and CodePink do.
I don't even know what the Obama gun control thread is, much less how it pertains to me.

Palin?
September 6, 2008 - 10:29 ET by Sergeant ROCKI never said anything about Palin. Just pointing out the fraud of your assertion that you're an 'individualist' free of being in lock-step with anyone all the while that you only coincidently agree almost 100% with those that you do not 'march' with. Nothing about Palin. Nice diversion there, liberal.
Oh really? Gun-control has always been a hot topic. Your absence in either the defense or support of Obama is quite telling. Again, this demonstrates the fact that you are more comfortable critiqing others opinions on the issues than receiving criticism of your own. Quite the slippery fellow, aren't you?
PALIN/McCain 2008
OK, you just don't get
September 6, 2008 - 10:39 ET by JasonCOK, you just don't get it. Fine. I'm not explaining it again. I think I've ruined the captionfest board enough. This sub-thread was about my critique of people thinking Palin is a conservative messiah and their dubious use of things like this picture as "evidence". If you want to think that having liberal ideologies puts me in league with bomb-throwing, troglodytic leftist websites, fine. I'll just assume that you think Michael Savage is a reasonable guy and that you attend Aryan Nation meetings. No cognitive dissonance there, right?
I still don't know what thread you're referring to. But to give my position, I'm in favor of people being allowed to purchase guns with background checks and other safeguards in place, similar to the rigamarole people have to go through to drive or fly. I despise the NRA, and I wish that 2nd Amendment absolutists would acknowledge the crucial dependent clause that precedes "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" is also part of the amendment and that, therefore, perhaps the founding fathers did not mean for private citizens to stockpile assault rifles for personal use. There's my position. Black and white. No slipperiness.

Moving the goalposts
September 6, 2008 - 10:53 ET by Sergeant ROCKlol... again, the Palin reference? Can't you keep your long-winded, sanctimonious replies straight?? Evidently not, since you can't even navigate a website worth a damn. Nor see a thread that's right in front of your face, the third or fourth one down. Try clicking on 'HOME'.
So, you don't throw bombs? Well, that's about the only difference you've demonstrated so far between you and the usual collection of foaming at the mouth liberals. Your ignorance of the Second Amendment is testament to that.
PALIN/McCain 2008
Trace this thread back.
September 6, 2008 - 11:00 ET by JasonCTrace this thread back. You jumped in after I defended myself against Blazer's obscene remarks about Palin's youngest son. This thread is very much about Palin.
Since I'm sooo ignorant about the 2nd amendment, please explain to me why the dependent clause about a well-regulated militia is so easily discarded.

September 6, 2008 - 11:07 ET by Sergeant ROCKYou implied that I made a comment about Palin, idiot. I did not. I didn't say it wasn't a thread about Palin either. Can't you keep your bloviating crap straight???
The Second Amendment is about defending liberty from threats both foreign and domestic, ignoramus. Read what the Founding Fathers said about the issue, not what some liberal Supreme Court judge opined. It is an individual right.
GEEZ!
PALIN/McCain 2008
Read what the Founding
September 6, 2008 - 11:12 ET by JasonCRead what the Founding Fathers said about the issue, not what some liberal Supreme Court judge opined.
Way to pass the buck. Now I have to do your work for you? I'm going by the actual, semantic words in the 2nd Amendment. You, for some reason, requested my position on gun laws. I have given it. If you have something to say about it, say it.
I'll also refrain from calling you childish names since, when you do it, it only highlights the emptiness of your posts. You jumped on a thread and accused me of certain rhetorical tactics vis-a-vis my remarks (and other liberals' remarks) on Palin, who is the topic of this board/thread. I regret being responsible for so significantly derailing the captionfest, but it's there in black and white.
We're done. Good day.

You're an idiot!
September 6, 2008 - 11:23 ET by Sergeant ROCKYou're the one that needs an education on the Second Amendment, not me. So, it's not about 'passing the buck', but educating your ignorant ass. The fact remains, the Second Amendment is an individual right. Not an entitlement like you declared on another thread. Call it childish if you want, but on this issue you are an ignoramus.
More sanctimonious blather? What a surprise! I did not make any remark Palin like you alledged and now you're looking like an idiot refusing to admit it. Go ahead and attack and divert from that simple FACT!
P.S. Feel free to come and relieve me of my right to keep and bear firearms.

Guess we're not
September 6, 2008 - 12:13 ET by JasonCGuess we're not done.
You're the one that needs an education on the Second Amendment, not me.
I'm going by the exact words in the constitution. You're the one telling me I have to look at other things that the founding fathers said or did. A constitutional absolutist, who dislikes SCOTUS interpretations and the whole "living, breathing document" argument would, I'd think, be able to go on the words in the 2nd amendment in and of themselves. The dependent clause concerning militia is obviously there for a reason. If you want me to think differently you could at least direct me toward whatever writings you're going on.
The fact remains, the Second Amendment is an individual right.
How do you know? In the Bill of Rights, it is explicitly linked to a well-regulated militia. You can certainly argue that it should be an individual right, but that's not what the 2nd Amendment actually says.
Not an entitlement like you declared on another thread. Call it childish if you want, but on this issue you are an ignoramus.
OK I remember that thread now. But I did not use entitlement to refer solely to gun rights. Reread carefully. My reference to gun rights was a reductio ad absurdum argument to make a point about abortion.
I did not make any remark Palin like you alledged and now you're
looking like an idiot refusing to admit it. Go ahead and attack and
divert from that simple FACT!
Your reading comp skills are lacking. I didn't say you made a remark about Palin directly. I said that you attacked me and my rhetorical style and lumped me in with DK regarding comments I made about Palin. I therefore consider Palin to be integral to this thread. Disagree if you want, but please stop calling me an idiot.
P.S. Feel free to come and relieve me of my right to keep and bear firearms.
Did I stutter before? I said I'm in favor of the right to personal gun ownership. I merely disagree that it's literally enshrined in the BoR. Way to resort to tough-guy threats, though. We're all very impressed that you talk such a manly game on an anonymous forum.

September 6, 2008 - 15:12 ET by BlazerOn second look, I'll admit my analogy was over the top JC and apologise to you and anyone else that was offended. However you chose to jump in here and crap up the thread.
I'm sure Obama spending more time campaigning through his carreer than actual legislating sits fine with you because as you stated above your a liberal and so you share his ideaology and can overlook experience.
Palin has a great deal of legislative and executive experience, but even if she didn't, wouldn't we vote for her anyway because we share her beliefs?
There lies the callousness and hypocrisy of your statement
You admit you come here to a conservative oriented site for intelligent conversation and debate and mostly forego the leftist ones. Trust me they desperately need you over there, they are in dire need of intelligence.

September 6, 2008 - 07:57 ET by PeskyDaneJason, if you assert your individualism, I'll take it on face value.
And if you want to assume that anyone left of you is a drooling, unintelligent, crass "Kosbots,"...
Assumptions are based on the facts at hand, and we go with them until additional facts reveal otherwise. I'll even buy into that you were genuinely offended by certain hateful thoughts being attributed to you. That being said, such thoughts are expressed by the left on the nutroots sites as a matter of course, and therefore reasonable conclusions are going to be made about the libs who post here. To be fair, you know what side of "aisle" your are on when you post here, so differentiating yourself in a positive light is something you are going to have to do from time to time.
BTW, good morning. :-)
Morning. I don't know
September 6, 2008 - 09:37 ET by JasonCMorning. I don't know about your neck of the woods, but in mine it's hot and humid as a sauna. That may have gotten me in a fighting mood. I'd prefer that my posts be taken on their own, if possible. I don't lump all conservatives together and assume that they're all as nasty as Michael Savage, and I'd appreciate the same courtesy. That being said, though I rarely take offense at things, I think Blazer was ridiculously out of line with his disgusting comment about how I regard Palin's children. If there are posters out there who have said that her 6-month-old child SHOULD have been aborted (and I have not seen any such thing myself), then I thoroughly and enthusiastically secede from that strain of modern liberalism.

On the contrary
September 5, 2008 - 23:12 ET by DamianoI think using this image as a decision of who to elect to the Whitehouse is completely appropriate, perhaps more so than any political speech.
Consider- the MSM has spent the past week trying to convice everyone that Gov. Palin is nothing but and overly ambitious, neglectful mother. Can anyone on earth look at this image and suggest that these children are anything but extraordinarily well cared for? 7 years olds don't put on shows for political points. They are who they are, which is nothing more than a reflection of how well their parents care for them and are raising them.
Further, if you are looking to elect someone who supports positive family values, that picture is worth more than 1,000 speeches and pundit analysis.
This is where you are
September 6, 2008 - 07:42 ET by JasonCThis is where you are wrong. You could take 1,000 pictures of a day in the lives of the most abusive, backwards, Jerry Springeresque, white trash family in the country and you might happen to snap a pic of a 6-year-old spitting on her hand while holding her baby brother.
Now, of course, I have to make the insistent caveat that I am NOT calling the Palins any of those awful adjectives above.
But no, sorry, if you are taken in by this picture to believe a host of things about Palin's competence and values, then you are remarkably susceptible to pathos over realpolitic.

September 6, 2008 - 09:09 ET by ThisnThatWrong, Jason. This is a totally unscripted picture. Lots of people have tried to use pictures in the past to project their values. Kerry windsuring; the Clintons on the beach; Gore and his sloppy kiss. Those, though, were scripted and didn't work. But this picture, like John saluting his father's coffin, are genuine and do reflect the fundamental values we as a society are trying to instill in our families -- your words and bias not withstanding.

September 6, 2008 - 09:39 ET by JasonCI do not believe, nor did I in any way suggest, that this picture was scripted. My criticism lies not with the Palins or the picture itself; it is 100% with the way that the picture is being received here.

Please Jason - what about the way the Obama Children were
September 6, 2008 - 10:09 ET by Dee Bunkrecieved by THE MEDIA! This is a blog of Palin supporters and of course we will fawn over her cute children. THE MEDIA went on and on about how adorable the Obama girls were and they had speaking roles. It was also obvious that one of Obama's daughters was prompted to give him a chance to correct his error about what city he was in.
Please don't tell us that you aren't voting for Obama. It's not believable so just keep it to yourself if it's true. We won't believe your denials so it's pointless for you to say it. You rarely criticize Obama and when you do it's very general. It only makes all your arguments weaker when you deny that you want him to win. If you start bringing up even 1//2 as many criticisms of Obama as you do about McCain then maybe we will believe you. What's the point anyway? Are your arguments only valid in the context of not liking Obama as you claim?

September 6, 2008 - 10:17 ET by Sergeant ROCKHe's a closet Obamabot. No question. He feigns 'individualism' while spending the vast majority of his efforts trashing McCain, the right, Republicans, etc. He's a fraud.
I'm still waiting for a valid argument about anything of substance, as important to our everyday lives a 'captionfest' might be.

Sergeant Rock - I don't really think Jason is a fraud
September 6, 2008 - 11:03 ET by Dee BunkMany liberals truly convince themselves that they are the only ones who can be objective. When it comes down to it; we are ALL our own people and none of us agree 100% with each other let alone any candidate. In a two party system though, it comes down to who has MORE in common with you.
Jason is not as bad as some of them like Bruzilla, at least he admits he's left leaning. I really find it pointless for anyone to claim "objectivity" to bolster their arguments. It's a red flag that bias is to follow. If you are arguing one side then you are not objective. Period.
I'm more objective than anyone I know but I don't claim that in my arguments (except this one). ; )
Dee Bunk
September 6, 2008 - 11:14 ET by Sergeant ROCKIn other posts he danced around the issue of what he was. Now, he's dancing around his absence of criticism of a guy that he's supposedly not supporting when it would appear that he has MORE in common with Obama than McCain, based on his posts. Hence, fraud. He has of plenty of criticsm for anyone expressing a choice while he hides his. Easy to be a critic in that circumstance.
As far as being a kinder, gentler liberal goes.. when you put lipstick on a pig you still have a pig.

September 6, 2008 - 10:20 ET by JasonCIf you start bringing up even 1//2 as many criticisms of Obama as you do about McCain then maybe we will believe you.
Please show me where I have so ruthlessly criticized McCain. Good luck...
And no, I am not voting for Obama.
And you have thoroughly misunderstood my remarks on this picture. As I've said, my criticism is not about the existence of the picture. I have not referred to it as scripted or as cheap political theater, as many seem to want me to have done. My criticism lies entirely with the way it is being received as anything more than what it is: a cute picture.

Jason - I know that is what you are doing and I'm countering it
September 6, 2008 - 10:32 ET by Dee Bunkby saying this is a blog filled with a large number of Palin supporters - it's not like it's a supposedly unbiased MEDIA who fawned over Obama's children even though they were used much more as props being given speaking roles at the convention and a lengthy Access Hollywood interview. Give me a break. There is nothing wrong with supporters fawning over their candidates children and using it to enforce what ever else they like about the candidate.
I'll revise my statement to criticisms about McCain to say if you criticized liberal blather and nonsense nearly half as much as you criticize conservatives then maybe we would believe you didn't want Obama to win.
OK Dee. Fair
September 6, 2008 - 10:41 ET by JasonCOK Dee. Fair enough.
