The political insult game is in full swing. Last week, Sarah Palin told a joke at the RNC about hockey mom's being "pitbulls with lipstick." This week Barack Obama said, "you can put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig."
Let the outrage begin! This is just one of the many "outrages" the campaigns express on a daily basis. How dare they say this or that! I want an apology. All of this outrage, leads me to ask; Are we electing a President of the United States or a Kindergarten Hall Monitor?

All I can say to the latest round of "outrage" is WHO CARES? So what, Obama made a lipstick jab. So what, Palin mocked Obama's skills as a Community Organizer. GET OVER IT! Can someone, preferably someone running for one of two most powerful political offices in our country, please, pretty please with a cherry on top, grow up and address some actual issues? We have soldiers in the Middle East dying at the behest of our nation. We have taxpayers burdened by an albatross of a tax code. We are in desperate need of a new energy policy. We need to know how our new President and Vice President will handle delicate matters of international diplomacy. Instead of finding out what these candidates will actually do to address these issues, we are subjected to another round of juvenile lipstick insults.
I am open in my support for McCain/Palin because my first choice candidate, Mike Huckabee didn't make the cut. Living in Washington State, most of my neighbors are Obama/Biden supporters. Should I follow the leadership of our nominees and resort to playground insults? Kick my neighbor in the shin, maybe call him a stupid boo-boo head? Wait, he already got kicked, well shot actually, in the leg right about the same time he was losing his hand in Afghanistan when a grenade exploded. This is a guy who probably wants to hear about actual issues. We may differ on who gets our vote, but I'll show him respect and act like an adult. Too bad we can't get the same from the campaign trail.

I completely agree. I would love to know more about the issues and less about what designer's glasses Palin is wearing.
Am I they only one who thinks it was some left wing nut who got ahold of Fox news to leak the stuff about Palin. They are the only ones left that not open in support of Obama. I think they want to tear her down so she can't run in 2012.
