ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. (AP) - A new father has secretly named his baby girl Sarah McCain Palin after the Republican ticket for president and vice president.
Mark Ciptak of Elizabethton put that name on the documents for the girl’s birth certificate, ignoring the name Ava Grace, which he and his wife had picked earlier.
“I don’t think she believes me yet,“ he told the Kingsport Times-News for a story to be published Tuesday. “It’s going to take some more convincing.“
Ciptak, a blood bank employee for the American Red Cross, said he named his third child after John McCain and Sarah Palin to “to get the word out” about the campaign.
“I took one for the cause,“ he said. “I can’t give a lot of financial support for the (McCain/Palin) campaign. I do have a sign up in my yard, but I can do very little.“

Well, I do suppose it’s time to wrap it up, Carl it was (whether you believe me or not, heh) delightful to have a (fairly) heated debate.
Ciao.

Hey you two, Ex_Scentia and carl…I think you have forgotten what in the world you were commenting on. Give it a rest, trade phone numbers and hash it out in the privacy of your own home. You commnents have become dull and pointless.

Regardless of Marx’s previous political views (He was an *extremist*, and tenuous [notice the word] Socialist) which changed into his Communistic ideals. But, if were going to get into “You’re a communist” (where the desperate always go for a chance to gain leverage) I’d have to say, you’ve lost again.

Marx was a socialist and his socialists beliefs led him to write the Communist Manifesto. Any fool knows socialism leads to communism and Marx wrote volumes on that. I guess you missed that in the First Chapter of his communist manifesto.

Do please, tell me where Capitalism is in the Constitution.
Marx was a communist, but I doubt you’d understand any difference in that. The squirm and Change? How have I squirmed or changed what I have said? You’ll continue to try to change around what I have said to fit your views and to provide you a way to argue your point.
Your attempt to Connect Socialism to Karl Marx is yet another presentation of the ignorance you possess as you attempt to tear down my arguments.
Perhaps you’d like to group up with your “blogging friends” and try again?

I guess you think the readers are blind. Not once have I asked for your name and I provided mine. Now you are typing two posts at time…Shook up huh..LOL Loaded question? If it was a apple you would bite.
I called you out for being a socialist(shall I quote you denying it) and now it is clear to all the readers you would tear up the Constitution and replace our founding fathers with Karl Marx. Readers can learn for themselves if they support our founding fathers views of government or Karl Marx’s views.
I will take the founding fathers and the constitution over Marx thank you.
BTW-If unions are so great why has membership all but disappeared in last 25 years? They are corrupt and not needed. Is your buddy Bill Gates a Union man? Are all workers equal? This is way too easy.
But me and my blogging friends thank you for your senseless fodder. Just taking each one of your comments and watching the squirm and change has been….Hilarious.

I’m sure with those like you in a majority we would still have Upton Sinclair’s “The Jungle”-esque conditions for our workers.
You continually distort Socialism, acting as if it seeks to support those who do not work, Socialism praises hard labor, and it wishes to raise the worker up, unlike you, who would see the common man lie in a puddle of his own filth with pennies as wages.
You cannot argue against the rights of the Worker, of the common man, the Proletariat, so you attempt to subvert what I have said to mean “Support those that do nothing.“
Again sir, you have failed in your endeavours.
Constantly asking for my name.
Asking Loaded questions.
Denouncing me as a Liar and a coward before stating that personal attacks should not be done.
It’s amusing.

Hah, so you prove that you provided a loaded question to attempt to prove your point? Logical fallacy much? And now you even begrudge unions?
Another Voodoo Econ. Fundie Eh?
Your ways the way of the Dodo, regardless of what you say, Our ideals will replace your old, isolationist tendencies soon enough mate.
Out with the old, in with the new.

What attacks? Get informed before you show your ignorance of the Virginia blogosphere. In fact, the teddy turds concept addresses you and the anonymous cowards posting on blogs and newspapers. Thank you for proving that.
Bill Gates Microsoft has a profit margin of over 20% while the average oil/gas companies are 8%. So who is gouging the consumer…Bill Gates.
Dick Cheney’s Halliburton Funds have paid for thousands of heart related surgeries at hospitals across the nation, including many here in my home of Wise. Considering the profit margin, Halliburton is very charitable.
Unlike you, I don’t begrudge our nations achievers. They owe me nothing. I work for what I get and a richer man writes my paycheck. Capitalism and achievers built this nation, not unions and socialists who believe all workers are equal and want to redistribute wealth.

lol, mentioning your attacks on other bloggers and asking if your surgery went ok is hardly a “personal attack”
As to your question, Bill Gates is an example of a rare, philanthropic Capitalist, one who at least attempts to help the less fortunate.
Dick Cheney, well I’m not even going to get started there.
Perhaps you’d like to offer the merits of a pure market system in relation to a partial (please notice that word if you can) socialist system. (I.E. Percentage wages, which I explained earlier)
