Remember, Meg Whitman from the GOP convention. She's back.


:scared:

[Sarah Ibarruri]

1. Oh goody! Another Bible banging idiot! nt

[avaistheone1]

2. Unfortunately, she is a wealthy multimillionaire Bible banging idiot.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

4. Oh these idiots come in all types

However, the rich ones are in it for the GOP evangelical religious networking, which pays very well. Look at that psycho sociopath, Pat Robertson, and that other one, James Dobson. Both mega-millionaires!

[avaistheone1]

7. Yes, Meg is a megamillionaire too. She made her fortune as an executive at EBAY.

I didn't appreciate she was such a nut job before.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

8. That's why Europeans see Americans as nutjobs - there are a lot of these whackos

Religion in America is a sickness. Truly it is.

[AndrewP]

9. It's a cancer on our society.

It leads to decay of intelligence, education and scientific curiousity.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

11. Yep, religion is a sickness on the U.S. the way Islam is a sickness in Arab countries nt

[avaistheone1]

14. It seems to me it is the fundamentalists in various religions who are the extremists and

who conduct themselves as terrorists. In this country our fundamentalists are terrorists who deny social justice to others such as gays, and women.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

15. You're absolutely right. They're such pigs. Then when you dig....

you end up finding out that these fundamentalist Repukes are a bunch of sexual perverts (remember Diaper Man? and that pedophile in the House?), thieves and amoral trash.

[avaistheone1]

12. That's a shame. It doesn't need to be that way.

[avaistheone1]

10. I don't think I heard it said quite that way before,

There is alot of truth in that.

[LiberalFighter]

21. I'm so glad I avoided EBay. Made a special point of avoiding it when Kruse Auction Intl

married each other.

[Egnever]

36. Ebay was in the right place at the right time

There was nothing overly brilliant about it and it was done by her husband not her. Pretending she is smart because of Ebays success is ridiculous.

[Solon]

3. Meg Whitman can shove her faith where the sun don't shine...

with a sharp, splintering stick. :grr:

[MadMaddie]

5. So Meg hates Americans

Why don't people just say it....she hates the gay individuals in the state of Ca and she doesn't believe in equal rights. What else is there?

[DeepBlueC]

6. I believe you are full of shit, Meg

and that you are going to burn in hell for what you are doing unto others.

[tularetom]

13. After the clusterfuck Adolf Schwarzeneggar has created here in CA

No Repub stands much of a chance of getting elected dog catcher. So we can relax this nut case has zero chance of being elected.

[avaistheone1]

16. She has a gazillion dollars to blow trying to make a good go at it though-

[tularetom]

18. It's a free country (again finally) so she can knock herself out

but people were burned pretty bad by Der Titzengroper so I don't think the "outsider coming to clean up the mess in Sackatomato" routine is gonna play too well with the electorate.

[ej510]

17. The governator fucked it up for repukes in this state she will get smoked by whatever dem comes out

of the primary. Hopefully the supreme court will overturn prop 8 next month.

[Bluenorthwest]

33. As a California native

in exile, I urge you to drop the assumptions. Arnie was supposed to get 'smoked' last time too. And all my CA straight pals poo pooed the idea that Prop 8 would pass "CA is liberal and the bluest of blue, we'd NEVER pass a thing like that."
Let me be very clear. The apathy and lack of energy on the part of California Democrats must be overcome. California is at a cross roads.

"We'll fix it in post" is not a political strategy.

[Merlot]

19. I'm putting my money on Viarigosa (sp) for gov.

Apparently his hat's in the ring.

[Cha]

20. She needs to be defeated and

badly.

[Touchdown]

22. How dare she! Faith is a wonderful country singer!

It's very encouraging for her to sing about how she "feels like a woman!":crazy:

[avaistheone1]

23. LOL

Very funny. :rofl:

[Iwillnevergiveup]

24. John McCain loves her

reason enough for her to go away. All these years, have had to shove Ahnold into the back 40 recesses of my mind, and it will be wonderful when he's gone, too. Every time I think of the recall of Gray Davis.....:mad:

[Hellataz]

25. I'd rather keep the govenator,

at least he's married to a Kennedy who will occassionaly smack some sense into him.

Hell no to Meg Whitman!
I hope Gavin Newsom runs! I'd love to have him as our Governor.

[PretzelWarrior]

26. doesn't she run some kind of online garage sale?

she was at least smart enough to run away from the sinking ship that was John McCain's campaign. She'd rather take the long view and go California governor and THEN shot at the White House.


P.S. your link is funny. When I saw it rather briskly I thought it said "penis review". lol.

[Vinca]

27. Just what California needs: the woman who ruined ebay. nt

[QC]

28. Obama says the same thing.

"I believe marriage is a union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union. God is in the mix."

[Creideiki]

30. Now, now, QC, be nice

You wouldn't want to make the Fundy Obamaists' heads explode.

[QC]

31. Well, if you want to make that happen, just mention Krugman. n/t

[Bluenorthwest]

34. The most dangerous idea on Earth

"God says I am better than you."

[QC]

35. Yep! It is one that the genuinely spiritual (as opposed to the merely religious)

seek always to resist. It is spiritual pride.

[bluedawg12]

29. Bigotry justifed by faith is still bigotry.

[TexasObserver]

32. They never have "faith" in the other brazilian things in Leviticus, however.

I'm sure she doesn't rely on Leviticus for her standards of dealing with the consuming of pork or shrimp. Or regarding how she interacts with women who are menstruating. Or how she interacts with anyone who has any kind of infection. Or how she deals with disrespectful children or adulterous adults.

All those rules in Leviticus, the 3000 year old health rules for desert nomads, but she only worries about ONE of them.

That's not FAITH, that's cherry picking to fit one's modern biases.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

37. Isn't that what every politician oppossed to gay marriage says, Democrat or Republican?

I mean...what other excuse is there? There's no constitutional, political or common sense reason to deny a whole group of citizens their rights.

[Politicub]

38. Fuck you, Meg Whitman

You are beyond evil with this spew. I hope you go down in flames with your bid for the governshiip of Calif.

[Doremus]

39. If Meg cares about California so much why doesn't she take a tiny portion of her wealth

and put the state back in the black?

C'mon Meg, make good on the IOUs your state is sending out to its hard-working citizens, people far less able to get by than you. You profess to love your state, right? California has been good (very, very good) to you, hasn't it? You don't have to work another day in your life (not that you had to do anything but show up and collect your stock options, but that's for another story....). Point is, you have enough money for 10 lifetimes and your state is in dire need.

Well...?

::crickets::

[Two Americas]

40. isn't that the president's position?

I don't see how that differs from the president's position.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

41. Kind of like the President
