As a rule, I don't censor comments. However, I do not permit comments that are slanderous/libelous/defamatory or blatantly racist, sexist or homophobic. I'm unlikely to permit comments that I personally find offensive, though context matters. This is my blog and I make the rules. Others can make whatever rules they want for their own blogs, and they do.<BR/><BR/>The deleted comment violated one or more of my rules which is why I have deleted it.Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-47403474875650934402008-09-06T21:00:00.000+12:002008-09-06T21:00:00.000+12:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-55995695125964922412008-08-31T12:33:00.000+12:002008-08-31T12:33:00.000+12:00Roger: I completely agree with you.

I'm worried that some voters may ignore the realities of her inexperience and awful positions on many issues because she and her family make up a Republican postcard family. That's one of the reasons I won't be easing up on this awful choice.<BR/><BR/><B>Jason: </B> I thought the same thing, but there's an important difference: Bush the First was much younger than McCain is now, and he was in far, far better health than McCain is. So, as bad as Quayle was, Palin is far worse, not just because she has dramatically less experience than Quayle, but also because she's far more likely to succeed McCain than Quayle was to succeed Bush the First.Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-86066222570515963252008-08-31T04:51:00.000+12:002008-08-31T04:51:00.000+12:00The most unqualified VP candidate since Dan Quayle...The most unqualified VP candidate since Dan Quayle.Jason in DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442861717390485392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-37361177927383089572008-08-30T22:15:00.000+12:002008-08-30T22:15:00.000+12:00She's specifically against abortion.

In fact, the narrative is that she had had her fetus tested, knew he (or she) had Down''s syndrome and had the child anyway. <BR/>Also lifetime member of the NRA.<BR/>Also former beauty queen and TV anchor. She may appeal to the base - and possibly the base instincts of hetero males -, as she is, under those glasses, kinda good looking - <BR/>but she is an AWFUL pick, making McCain the flaming liberal the GOP base suggested he was. <BR/><BR/>Add to that the clear pandering to the Hillary voters - and to paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen, she's no Hillary Clinton.Roger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.com
