3. OMG you said it!
I have to say, however, I did enjoy the tenor singing Fiorina... until the 173rd time I heard it. And I still like hearing from those poor former HP employees that Carly sacked. Meg is so atrocious I can't stand to see her face even when she's being given a righteous verbal smack down. She's just vile.

4. "Chamber of Commerce"
Voted with Nancy Pelosi

Threatening our jobs with cap and trade

The list, I'm sure, will go on and on.

This has been the most disgusting season I've ever seen and I lived through Willie Horton.

5. "Man up" and "put on your man pants" really really gets me
and I'm not even male. As a feminist female, I find this really offensive.

Anything "Sarah Palin," "Christine o'Donnell," Michelle Bachman, or any of the other nasty ass teabaggers.

14. That does sound sexist, doesn't it?
I'm sure it was designed to press Reid's buttons during the debate. To his credit, he didn't seem to take the bait.

There are so many things wrong with saying that, it's hard to know where to begin, but the most obvious is the implication that it takes "balls" to act courageously. This is politics; it's all done with words; no "machismo" is necessary. Even sissy crossdressers can do it.

On the bright side, Angle's quote was played out of context in most media reports, making the comment seem even more irrational and sexist. That could have the effect of diminishing her turnout of male voters.

18. "Spending" and/or "spree," "Washington politics," and, as ever, "flip-flop."
All popular buzz words in the campaign ads around here.

20. "Misleading," "credibility" (and/or "gap") and, yeah, just "gap."
Edited on Sat Oct-23-10 03:05 PM by BlueIris
I'll decide what's misleading, who's credible, and whether I see a gap anywhere, MSM.
