Five month babies - ALL five month old babies - need a lot of care, as I am sure you remember, Geez. But nowhere in mainstream post natal literature does it say that it must be the mother who is there all the time during the day. They just say that constant care is needed from a carer. <BR/><BR/>To imply that SHE should be there and that SHE is a bad mother for going back to work is back to the 1950s. Now I understand conservatives thinking that, but it just shows you how reactionary liberals are these days that they join in the bleating chorus.<BR/><BR/>And here is why Obama might not win. Forget, just for a moment, the degenerate personality/lifestyle politics for maybe a fraction of a second, just for once. The Democrats may not win because they have given up trying to inspire the masses (that they hate) with some ideas....they, and the republicans are exhausted...the Party is over. So we retreat back into our "boo hoo" she should stay at home gibberish. <BR/><BR/>If the Dems can;t win this election - with the republicans obviously exposed as a bunch of losers...then they never will.beatroothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11242716221133886807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13112593.post-5797985886247237472008-09-15T17:56:00.000+02:002008-09-15T17:56:00.000+02:00Well, thanks for this smidgeon of hope anyway: "Wh...Well, thanks for this smidgeon of hope anyway: "What percentage of your black hating trailer trash are going to actually vote anyway?"<BR/><BR/>But they ain't trailer trash. They are mainstream suburbanoids.<BR/><BR/>This election is going to come down to race and gender. The strangest thing is that the right wing and liberal media refuses to even consider the former. And the overbearing pukey emphasis on the latter benefits the Right Wing this time around thanks to the unleashing of the Palinist element. The right doesn't bring up race because they they don't want to stir up black folks too much and the liberals because they don't want to stir up white antagonism any more.

The loudmouth dumbass white pitbulls with lipstick ain't gonna vote for Obama no how no way.”<BR/><BR/>What percentage of your black hating trailer trash are going to actually vote anyway?<BR/><BR/>Obama is going to loose because he’s Obama; he could have won this hands down if he had the common sense to study the American voter a bit more closely. Love them or hate them the republicans know how to win an election therefore they understand the mentality of the American voter.<BR/><BR/>Obama’s pluses are being articulate, intelligent and media presentable. The man’s primetime ready.<BR/><BR/>Obamas negatives are:<BR/><BR/>-didn’t serve in the military<BR/>-long-term connections to the lunatic fringe (his reverend and church are killing him)<BR/>-leaning too far to the left for mainstream acceptance<BR/><BR/>Race will always be part of an American election but theses day not necessarily the deciding factor. The Republicans have fielded a very weak team and have to work with the George Bush track record. Had Obama understood the voting public better he would have prepared himself for this day better. If he went into this election with a modest military record, kept his distance from the lunatic fringe and took a more middle of the road position he would be unstoppable today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13112593.post-28617367057912047262008-09-15T16:53:00.000+02:002008-09-15T16:53:00.000+02:00No, no, no.
