1. Couldn't get past the 1st minute
"The elite six is a light-hearted term..." Wasn't when they used it to describe Obama.

2. If she'd had it, she would have lost my vote at: "she doesn't like...well
she doesn't care for cats." "She afraid of my cats."

I stopped the video right there.

9. One of my firmest beliefs, and it's one that has served me well
throughout my life, is to NEVER TRUST ANYONE who dislikes cats.

10. you are so right!
I've met some people that hate cats. After some time, I've learned things about these sorts of people (my cats don't like them either) that is pretty disgusting in most cases and they are not trustworthy - cats know this too.

A young man came to my house to fix a plumbing problem. He was a cat lover and admired my cats. He did a great job and fixed the problem and didn't charge me twice the price. Cat lovers and their cats are special! :)

Mark Twain was a cat lover btw. He used to rent a few to keep him company when he went on vacations. :thumbsup: :D

:kick:

12. What a funny thread, but I totally agree!
But I give them the benefit of the doubt if they've never had one or lived with one because often once they have they are converted to being cat lovers.

Isn't that interesting that Mark Twain like cats? I found that out about him when I was helping my daughter do a book report on him earlier this year. I always liked Twain, but that made me appreciate him even more to find out he was a fellow cat lover. Very interesting fellow, Twain, way ahead of his time in many ways. I wonder if he ever said anything about people who didn't like cats?!

Here is a link to photos of an amazing trick that Twain taught his cats!:

16. thank you for the great link!
:hi: and thanks! I printed this out. My father was one of those that never much liked cats until he ended up with my cat. He was home all alone during the day and he got very attached to my cat and refused to give him up! When said cat passed away, he got another cat that looked just like the one he stole from me and he named it the same named with the #2 after it!

Welcome to the DU btw! :D

:dem: :kick:

20. You're welcome!
And thanks for the welcome to DU -- I LOVE DU! I'm glad you liked the link -- that is an amazing trick, isn't it? One of these days I will add a picture of one of my Tuxedo Cats to my responses once I figure out how to do it. What a sweet story about your dad, I'm sure the cats help contribute to his health and well-being. :)

18. Cat lovers aren't authoritarians.
You can't be because Kitty isn't listening to you anyway.

Dogs are great, but STOP FOLLOWING ME AROUND FOR 10 SECONDS WILL YA?!

I'd rather live with the independent cat than the cute, sweet but oh so dependant dog.

4. Honest as the day is long ...
I guess, since they're in Alaska, that only qualifies for 3 months of honesty out of the year.

Should be called the the 6 Screwdrivers, as these ladies are such tools.

5. Very interesting.
Two of the four are pro-choice and three of the four won't say who they will vote for in November. At least they weren't mindless repug-bots so I was encouraged.

7. "We are a diverse bunch, that's America"

This coming from 4 white women all around the age of 40 to 45, probably all of them from lower middle to middle class backgrounds, probably all with nearly the same education level (the near albino of the group I'm not to sure about).

Yeah, that's diversity for ya, right there. :sarcasm:

Also notice that they never got a chance to answer the setup question "Do you think she is qualified to be Vice President?" (and it should have been President since, as everyone but Sarah knows, the primary job of the Vice President is to inquire as to the health of the President every morning).

8. "...because I knew she would help our nation go forward..."
What a fucking moron. These are the voters that scare me. They don't even know what they're talking about. There is nothing behind those eyes. Nothing.

19. "...because I knew she would help our nation go forward..."
What does that mean? It's like those meaningless religious platitudes: "Lord, make a way!"

Hello! The nation will go forward no matter what. Time does move "forward", y'know. But do we want to go to the right and off that cliff, or do we turn a little left and stay on solid ground?

Bumper sticker thinking!

Here's a bumper sticker for her: "MORE OF THE SAME"

11. As it says on the pillow my cousin gifted me last Christmas
"Never trust a person who doesn't like cats."

My cats are all more qualified to be President than SP is. :)

15. where was friend number 5?
i bet no more than one of those women will vote for palin. they definitely were NOT enthused about voting for her. those of you who 'couldn't' watch, should. watch what they say and how they say it.

17. The "Elitists"!
I sure don't trust anyone who is scared of cats. (better hunters than she is?)

The "Elitists" need to watch her LIE in her speech.

How nice her friend is voting for McCain, who is not her friend and she disagrees with. SMART!

It IS interesting ...that they obviously have doubts about their beloved Sarah
