		<description>&quot;Maybe I should just call the Mass State Ethics Commission. Partisan political speaker funded by SATF monies – this is illegal.&quot;

If you feel it is illegal, than do so. There&#039;s no point crying about it here if you don&#039;t care enough to act.



&quot;She has to HAVE views before I can disagree with them. &quot;

I am sure she has some views, and if she doesn&#039;t, then why don&#039;t you argue that, instead of throwing out the &quot;dumb blonde&quot; comments? Actually attack her lack of views, or conflicts within her ideas.


&quot;Ummm…. 8 years of hateful and childlike attacks on us? Why, exactly, should we be more respectful to your guy than you were to ours?&quot;

That has more to do with your own morals and principles than anything else. But one reason is that perhaps you felt it was wrong, so you decided to use more sophisticated and factual arguments instead of trying to be exactly what claim to dislike?


&quot;And I am referring to the most popular Republican overall. Sarah Palin. A populist….&quot;

That&#039;s fine and dandy. You used it as a reason of her being wrong. She was not wrong, because she were clearly not talking about the same thing.  You are more than welcome to have that opinion on Sarah Palin though.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Maybe you should find out exactly which rules/contracts are being violated and post them with your response, and if you care enough, file a complaint. &lt;/i&gt;

Maybe I should just call the Mass State Ethics Commission.  Partisan political speaker funded by SATF monies - this is illegal.

&lt;i&gt;Then, you could consider not calling someone a “dumb blonde” because you disagree with them, and instead say “I disagree with her views. &lt;/i&gt;

She has to HAVE views before I can disagree with them.  

&lt;i&gt; Do you truly want to be in a party, or a country, where there is only way for everything, and anyone who is not in line is shunned? &lt;/i&gt;

NO!  And that is why I have left the Republican Party, why I am no longer affiliated with the UMass Republican Club (RIP), and why I so detest folk like Meaghan McCain.

&lt;i&gt; I read so many of these conservative comments (and articles), and I have to wonder how so many of you have gotten so hateful and childlike. &lt;/i&gt;

Ummm.... 8 years of hateful and childlike attacks on us?  Why, exactly, should we be more respectful to your guy than you were to ours?

&lt;i&gt;It’s obvious that when saying to “the most popular Republican” in the 2008 presidential race, Meghan was referring to the most popular presidential nominee. &lt;/i&gt;

		<description>Ed,

Maybe you should find out exactly which rules/contracts are being violated and post them with your response, and if you care enough, file a complaint. Then, you could consider not calling someone a &quot;dumb blonde&quot; because you disagree with them, and instead say &quot;I disagree with her views. Sometimes it&#039;s hard to be civil when you hate people, but if you want more than to vent, and for people to listen to anything you say, it&#039;s necessary. Unless of course, you&#039;re only writing towards a handful of people who already think the same as you.

As for Meghan not being famous if she didn&#039;t trash her own party, this might be true. She probably also wouldn&#039;t be famous if she wasn&#039;t John McCain&#039;s daughter. George W. Bush probably wouldn&#039;t have been President if not for his father. Fame doesn&#039;t really matter if someone has something to say. Because someone disagrees with certain Republican views, you find her to be a traitor? Do you truly want to be in a party, or a country, where there is only way for everything, and anyone who is not in line is shunned? What if this were the case, and it wasn&#039;t your ideas which reigned supreme? You would agree, then, that you are the traitor, as an American who doesn&#039;t agree with those in power?

I read so many of these conservative comments (and articles), and I have to wonder how so many of you have gotten so hateful and childlike. I haven&#039;t seen name calling like this since the year I taught after school fifth graders. You&#039;re supposed to be grown up. Adults, or near to them. Try and use the past 12+ years of schooling you&#039;ve had to conceptualize your thoughts onto paper, instead of calling someone &quot;a dumb blonde&quot;. It&#039;s amazing how much more credible you are when you put a little bit of effort into what you have to say. Why not just say &quot;she was wrong for these reasons&quot; instead of calling her names?

On a side note, don&#039;t try to twist words to make your &quot;opponent&quot; wrong. 

&quot;Third, the dumb blond is also wrong. Who was the most popular Republican in the 2008 race? Sarah Palin. And what was Sarah Palin — a populist. Who was the most popular (and victorious) Democrat in the same race? B. H. Obama. And he, too, is a populist.&quot;

It&#039;s obvious that when saying to &quot;the most popular Republican&quot; in the 2008 presidential race, Meghan was referring to the most popular presidential nominee. It would be refreshing if you, and those who write comments/articles in the same fashion, would be straightforward, and write their views in a civil manner. That they might do some research and come up with a coherent argument. That they don&#039;t replace such arguments with hate and insults. That they have respect for other human beings.

		<description>Forget everything else:  she received how many thousand dollars of SATF money and only spoke for 17 minutes?????

There are CSD rules being ignored here.  There are contract clauses as to how long a speaker must speak and it is more than this!!!!

Second, Alana Goodman nailed it this morning, Meagan McCain wouldn&#039;t be famous if it weren&#039;t for her trashing her own party.  There used to be a name for such people:  Treasonous Traitors.  Such folks used to be shunned, but then the schmucks currently running the UMRC would themselves be shunned in an earlier era.

Third, the dumb blond is also wrong.  Who was the most popular Republican in the 2008 race?  Sarah Palin.  And what was Sarah Palin -- a populist.  Who was the most popular (and victorious) Democrat in the same race?  B. H. Obama.  And he, too, is a populist.

We are back in the age of populism.  The winners in 2010 and 2012 will be populists.  So sorry my dear dumb blond, you are history...

Now, how many of us would have loved to have seen Meagan McCain debate Alana Goodman....  I know which young lady my money would be on...</description>
