Palin is a Train Wreck Waiting to Happen

I remember that Carter, a nuclear physicist by training if I remember correctly, also pronounced it 'nucular'. Drove me bats. On the other hand, I found Carter to be interesting, and agreed with him on many issues at the time.

We all pronouce some words in a weird way, usually words we learn through reading but not hearing. One of mine that I'm still training myself out of is the word 'debacle' which I taught myself to be said deb-a - cle.. when it's really de-bah-cle. Then there's clem-a-tis (the right way) - I've been training myself on that for at least a decade.

So, I won't crucify someone about a misspelling or mispronunciation. Issues...
molto importante.

And I'm fond of JLNobody because he spells it 'judgement' as I and some others choose to despite being taught 'judgment'. Rebels, all of us 'e' adders.

Unless it's spelled out phonetically on her teleprompter. Then she pronounces it "new-clear" (which is how it's spelled).

A person I know has a tangential connection to the whole Palin thing, plus she looks a lot like Palin (similar glasses, etc.) She's a sweet, mild-mannered person. I mentioned something about Palin (in terms of whether other people were bothering her about it) and her upper lip just curled... not an expression I've ever seen on her before. Just visceral "ew..."

There definitely is a strong female reaction AGAINST Palin which I don't think the McCain people were counting on.

and some of us spell 'pronounce' incorrectly on occasion...

Actually, the McCain camp is now touting her long experience in foreign affairs. Seems she was exposed to an atlas in some of her geography classes.

I'm thinking "Belligerent, redneck white trash" hit home with you

I suspect that it is a speech defect;
like, for instance, if u get robbed and complain to the police
about it, technically "the people of the State of NY" are the victims
of the crime and the criminal plaintiffs, and he who got robbed
is the "complainant".

Tho most folks pronounce it foneticly,
for YEARS, I had to listen to others saying " COMPLAINTANT ".
I suspect that thay coud not help it; something rong with their mouths.

You would, you being so sensitive and all.

Why don't you give a shot at a constructive comment, insted of the mimicry you play at so poorly now?

(just a thought, Einstein...)

Bet she doesn't know where many countries are located on "that" atlas.

Sounds like my neighbor.... ex-DC-lobbist, uber-Republican. She took her McCain sign down when Palin joined the ticket. She's horrified by Palin.

She sounds like a RINO.

Yes, I also heard that she can beat her husband at the game, "Risk" nine out of ten times. Those are some impressive foreign policy credentials.

The motherhood argument doesn't hold up. She has plenty of competant family members and her husband to care for her litter of children.

The gun issue: if you come from this part of the country guns are an intregal part of daily life. I have no objections to this either.

With that said: Sarah Palin is a tank with eyes and she will mow you down if you get in her way. She will twist any political situation to fit her religious beliefs regardless of that document...what's it called? Oh yes, the Constitution of the United States, which mandates separation of church and state.

Please do not get me started on what the Supreme Court will look like if the Republicans win. Let's just say if they win I will pray (in a Liberal "I'm spiritual but not religious" sort of a way") that John Paul Stevens will be willing to stay in for at least four more years.

I've yet to meet an intelligent, enlightned woman who is Pro Palin.

Maybe they're out there....if you are, ladies, might you step forward?

She sounds like a woman that has come to her senses.

Does that have anything to do with your definitional criteria ?

Throwing away one 's freedom, in favor of collectivist-authoritarianism
is not coming to one 's senses.

David, don't be so phucking stupid. There have been "Democratic" governments forever in the USA and things have never changed. You're so paranoid.

Been to Cuba lately?

That is impressive, Kicky. How come George has never been able to beat Laura even once at the same game? Go figure, eh?

There are several Pro Palin Women in my life, a few of them are registered democrats.
