GOP Primary Megathread!

I suppose it would be a meaningless exercise to prove he broke some promises in the future.

What?

How can you make a promise in the future??? The promise would technically not exsist??

Imagine his surprise when he couldn't just tuck it into her garter.

Hillary's legs

What?

Two of your examples of broken promises are predictions of what he will do in the future.  It is rather meaningless to attempt to prove Obama will do something in the future.

I may watch this.  I love movies with good endings.

Palin does indeed come off as a flawed candidate in the film, with advisers questioning her mental stability. She's reluctant to heed advice to prepare for debates and to put the good of the ticket over her own personal desires and ambitions. The Palin character comes across as woefully unprepared for the national stage and fails to understand the basics of such topics as the Federal Reserve, the British monarchy, World War II, North & South Korea and who attacked the United States on Sept. 11. Flattering or not, HBO says it's simply the truth.

It's not like we needed HBO to figure that out.  It was pretty apparent at the time.

She makes a pretty decent Palin until you work your way down to that megachin

HBO doesn't need to say that it is simply the truth...as it just is.

Back off Julianne Moore

I'm looking forward to this just for her performance.  Personally though I think a far more interesting 2008 drama would be the Edwards campaign.

I think the pledge is worded ambiguously enough to give some wiggle room, and I'd wager that most who have signed it would view it as having some flexibility (they *are* politicians, after all).  I know what the ATF's intent of the pledge is, but the pledge itself is pretty ambiguous.

I think the pledge is not worded at all ambiguously, and  all the wiggle room allowed is that the pledge is aimed at only the income and corporate taxes.

Though Norquist pretends that the pledge applies to all taxes, of course.

In immediate terms, I like the pledge-- IMO spending needs to be curtailed first, then later we can talk about adding some possible tax increases to the deficit/debt reduction strategy.

It is precisely this kind of weasel that makes me dislike the tax pledge so much.  Claiming that one will compromise as soon as the other side surrenders is just a way to avoid compromising.

Back off Julianne Moore

Never was a fan.  She's had roles where she was *almost* attractive, but never quite put it all together.

I think she's a decent actress but she was really only hot once, and that was as the doctor in The Fugitive.

I liked her in Magnolia.

[Eddie Teach]

She had a really hot sex scene in Chloe.

She can act okay, I guess.  But she was a very weak Clarice in Hannibal-- though I guess it'd be nearly impossible to follow Jodie Foster in that role.
