Liberals and Progressives Fear Sarah Palin

my sentiments exactly

8 years dems, 8 years repubs cycle. seems conspiratorial.

back and forth

I see you are shooting from the hip this morning.

and not just by the right. there is plenty more coming from the left than most liberals are willing to admit

the word 'trolls' is old hat mate...don't embarrass yourself.

sorry about the outdated lingo, mate. (Mate is a colloquialism with German or English origins. It is theorized that it started with use by dock workers in the Victorian era.) Wouldn't be the first time i posted a comment without proper consideration to posterity and ended up embarrassing myself.

whats a troll?

if the reference to trolls includes you and i it should be called common sense

been here a while and the niche deepens. but i'm not funded by anyone and only show up for laughs and the food. where you been mate?

you need to analyse that ending much more carefully. He is in fact walking on stepping stones and NOT on the water. By the end of the film, the audience has become just as mindless and gullible as the other characters in the story who see Chance as some kind of messiah. So by the end they can't help but see a miracle that isn't there. A tragic masterpiece that is more relevant now than when it was made and a perfect comment on Obama's rise to power and the collective brain death of the American people.

Interesting that you see the character of Chance the gardener in terms of he being Obama. But maybe you are focusing on the end and the water walking or not. The real genius here is that in 1971 the author Jerzey Kosinski saw already back then what the media culture was doing. The movie to me represents how we wound up with Bush 2. But maybe I am wrong because the character that Peter Sellers created was innocent, like a child and was not the one creating an illusion, but rather the people in power who convinced themselves that Chance as Chauncey Gardener was mentally capable of running a country or maybe that in marketing terms, simple answers to complicated issues are shear genius. Chauncey was not a genius, but he was full of kindness and did not fear the things that he was told to fear on TV - maybe because he only watched cartoons ? Of course the Bush administration was consumed with fear after 911 and what innocence we had as a country disappeared

You are over demonising Bush. It's an obsession otherwise known as BDS ......Bush Derangement Syndrome. Chance was a moron, a retard, who just keeps repeating the same old platitudes about gardening. His wisdom is not wisdom at all..he is speaking literally about gardening and everyone around him is interpreting it as spiritual teaching. The film savages our propensity to follow gurus and leaders, no matter how vacuous they are.

I beg to differ with you crystalman, I never called Bush a moron......you are the one diagnosing anyone who supports our current president to be brain dead. Although, you do point out that the repetition by Chance of the same old platitudes about in the spring there will be new growth was seen as genius. Seems to me that one could replace that with such things as the constant repetition of the term WMD's. All in the Bush administration kept up that mantra and everyone around them interpreted that as reason to support their already made up minds about going to war with Iraq. And anyone who questioned their delusion was told that they were unpatriotic.

and the reverse is also true

consumed with fear for good reason, as is the testament of the continued bush war on terror policies by obama

would that include the holy one now in the white house?

what nonsense?

ahahahahaha, this is some funny shit, even better than trump could ever be.

great cartoon character...... what does she fight for or against ?

For freedom..against slavery. Simple.

Against hunger. Palin is one variety of shark. Which is why the idiots
of the world fear the stupid bitch. Sharks have several senses which
are super sensitive. That's why they make effective predators.

if i could be half as successful on half the credentials i'd be happy. jealous?

So you are afraid of c*&^s?

christophobe?, conservaphobe?, realityphobe? truthandhonestyphobe?

Like 'em all!

Venus fly traps!

I was just sending you a private message when I saw your comment got censored. I wanted you to know that I believe in 100% voluntary free speech and would not flag a comment I disagreed with, no matter how in poor taste the comment was. I thought your comment was kind of funny. In two years, I have flagged five comments on current and they all had to do with spammers trying to sell things in the threads.

enlightened

a Paleophobic?

Actually, I'm afraid she won't run :)

crack is where its at, just ask any typical liberal

D.A.R.E. Drugs Are Really Everything now you know the answer

word:)

this is a total joke right?

well if she runs, and wins, I bet she quits before she is half way thru.

not really, you were foolish enough to fall into my evil trap and read this post. so you lose, i win and i made my point

oh you poor foolish little boy - i read the title line, read that you posted it and knew I need not read any more. As a general rule, if you post something I give it a thumbs down, don't read the bullshit but it sure is fun to denigrate you and your stupidity

Yes, truly a childish thing to do.

nice general rule. vote something down before reading. would you prefer to vote down whats in my pants before or after you see it? whats denigrate?

wow, wherever did you come up with that load of horse shit? if obama doesnt keep up with his campaign promises as he hasnt, folks just might vote for change they can really believe in. nice try with the leftylib propaganda lies though

It seems pretty clear to me that the change the rethuglicans want to bring about is being rejected in a number of places. The governor in Wi. will likely lose his majority in the state senate and maybe his job come early next year. Rick Scott has a 29% approval rating. Kasich has a 32% approval rating and his union stripping bill will likely be overturned this Fall. Snyder in Michigan is at 30% approval and may be recalled himself. Corbett in Pa. at 39%. Lets not even talk about Maine. This is not the stuff of winning elections. These are key battleground states. The rethuglicans have pissed away those states by pissing off the people in those states. Given approval ratings this low, its obvious that even folks that voted for them don't want what's being offered.

The rallying cries to elect someone other than Obama may resonate with some people, but at least in these states, those cries fall on deaf ears for over 2/3 of the population. You can keep Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina and the others. The next presidential race, as the last, will be won/lost in the "Big Ten" states and the rethuglicans have lot of ground to make up especially since most of these states tend Democratic anyway.

now thats scary

Election? We are going to wait for another before we see it doesn't matter? How many elections were rigged to get those people in to begin with? The only reason Obama is in is because we all bought his pitch...he never could have or meant to change anything. Business as usual gets more rampant not less and life gets harder for the majority. Another election?

We have voted in morons before. The only part of the system that should stay is The Declaration of Independence...perhaps changed to make each of us a sovereign citizen of Earth.

so is barney frank but he has a bigger achilles heel than rush

I wouldnt go that far. lol

I felt the same about George H W Bush after nr 2

apparently being a media whore works for al gore, so why not?

and making a pretty sweet living at it too

I don't think the rethuglican party mainstream is at fault here. I think its the media that keeps her around. Nearly every poll on her shows that most folks couldn't care less about her, but every week there's a new story about her. It's crazy to think this woman could be president.

and why does the leftylib media continue to try and convince us that obama was a good choice? bush lite my friend

I dont buy that. Not for a second. Except for a few individual asshole Democrats I cant think of anyone off the top of my head that compares to Boehner or McConnel or Bachmann or Cantor for starters.

Boehner, Reid. McConell, Daschle. Bachmann, Pelosi. Cantor, Hoyer. Same, same.

and thankfully obummer is taking her lead and advocating domestic oil exploration and production. the man cant come up with any good ideas on his own

Well He is just a sock puppet what do you expect him to do? I can say I voted for him without shame. the real question is am I happy with the way things are going NO I'm not. But to say it's all Obamas falt is crazy. He got stuck with a load of shit when He got to the white house. However Ya'll seem to think all was well when He got there. I truely believe we need to clean out public office and start over with some new rules. But Hey thats just what I think that and two bucks might get ya a cheap cup of coffee

i know right? just as they were during the 2008 elections

Right! Both sides!

yup, both sides suck

what climate change, is there any change out there we can believe in?

No the issue will be the economy in 2012.

The two will become inseparable.

The end of a solar minimum and the beginning of another solar maximum. Simply stated, it will be the change.

But not for most voters. If one can't put food on the table, clothes on the back, a roof over the head, health care for the family, and safety, climate change, no matter how pressing, won't be on the average voter's mind.

Why would you worry about putting food on the table if a climate disaster blew away your home?

I am sure everyone of us care about the environment. If a person has children and is trying to make it in this economy, he/she will vote on the economy. The only President to be re-elected with this high an unemployment rate ever int he history of our country was FDR. I ma not saying it can't be done, I am saying that right wrong whatever the economy trumps other concerns.

Unemployment in June 1983 was 9.8% under Ronald Reagan. In November 1984 it was still 7.4%. The recovery under Obama has gone faster up to this point. Already unemployment is down to 8.7%. Reagan won 49 states. Obama will win 50.

The number that came out yesterday was 9.1%.

for biased unsubstantiated bullshit, youre over the top my friend. i bow before you
