Political IMs

I have no time to blog today, which is a shame, I got a bunch of comments that need addressing (later, I guess)

Anyway, I had a chat online with a friend that I thought I would post. She didn't give me permission, so I won't say who - but she may out herself in the comments.

Here it is, good luck deciphering it, there are actually some decent points hidden in there ;-)
*****************************
Chicky: just wasting time blogging lol
Chicky: taking a break and thought I'd browse some bloggy poos
Me: that'll definitely kill some time
Chicky: I know. I can't believe how into it I am again. har.
Me: I haven't been excited about politics in so long
Chicky: Well it's bound to get worse I'm sure as the elections near

Me: OK, I don't have time to blog it - but, damn, why does it have to be Hilary going after Palin? I think she is being smart by sticking to issues (she is a good pol)
Me: Why can't Biden give it to her?
Me: that is like the GOP looking for some black guy to attack Obama - stupid
Chicky: EXACTLY!!!!! I was thinking the exact same thing!
Chicky: Oh I know! I was going to blog that yesterday but didn't have time
Me: If they are discussing issues, there is no problem, they are both up for the same damn job
Chicky: Funny how LOLbama is using her to do this now
Me: if he goes after her for being female/a mom/her daughter, then yeah, he will come across as a schmuck
Chicky: *bwok bwok*
Chicky: chickens
Me: but she hasn't bitten, Ferraro is being pretty gracious and above board
Chicky: It makes me laugh because it tells me how scared the Obama camp is
Me: Hilary is being sure to stick to issues
Chicky: Yes I noticed that too with Ferraro
Me: oh yeah
Me: the Dems need to get off the male / female thing
Me: they keeps saying she is whining about being attacked and she ought to be able to handle it if she wants to run
Chicky: Are you serious?
Me: but she hasn't said CRAP
Me: and she has no problem being hammered on the issues
Chicky: I know, she only made one comment to the media and it was pretty smart. About, I'm not going to DC to please you... going for the people.
Me: have you seen that clip from one of her earlier campaigns where she says, "you know, I am perfectly capable of dealing with this" or some such to people asking about running as a woman
Chicky: no sure haven't
Chicky: It's others that have been defending her
Chicky: and rightly so
Me: and even they aren't saying "don't question her record" or "don't look at her stand on the issues"
Chicky: exactly
Chicky: that's what is so funny... they can't
Me: they are saying, "don't suggest it is wrong for her to be a working mother or attack her kids"
Me: idiots!
Chicky: the only thing they can pull out of their @$$es is the whole - well she's a family values preaching rep. and her daughter getting preg is despicable
Chicky: that Whoopie article you linked made me sick
Me: yeah - STUPID
Chicky: Like SHE should friggin talk man
Me: McCain & his wife are going to be on the View for an hour this week..Friday, I think
Chicky: yes I heard that
Chicky: that should be interesting
Me: I can't imagine it will be fair - or that he will get a word in edgewise
Me: you know they will attack Cindy for her $$$
Chicky: That Joyce beeyatch will be all over him
Me: yeah
Me: he really needs to make it clear that he didn't pick her because she is a woman, but that he picked her because she is the right leader to join him in the White House
Me: or something to that end
Chicky: Well too bad John and Cindy can't do a Michelle/Barrack knuckle knock on the show. That would be funny
Me: heh
Chicky: I think there will also be an interview with George Bush on Fox news this week too
Me: tomorrow morning - 6, I think
Chicky: Damn girl... you are just all over it! lol
Chicky: I'm going to you if I need to know something. You'll be my election Headquarters. ha
Me: she's going on with Charlie Gibson - not sure how I feel about that choice
Me: just not sure he is up to it, might end up being deadly boring
Me: oh, I meant the Palin interview could be boring with Gibson
Chicky: oh lol
Me: not sure Gibson is up to interviewing her
Chicky: ahh yes now I see
Chicky: Damn... too bad her first interview couldn't be more fun like on the Tonight Show or something
Chicky: Have her do some shooting an' shizz
Me: another thing - as long as it looks like I am working...
Me: they keep saying how Bush McCain voted with Bush 95% of the time (like it is a bad thing)
Chicky: yeah true
Me: Obama voted with the Dems in congress 97% of the time (that he actually voted) and their stuff passed - and contributed to the problems we are dealing with
Chicky: YUP
Chicky: It makes me laugh
Me: GOP needs to find a way to make that point
Me: The approval rating of Congress is much lower than Bush's
Chicky: I know, it's crazy
