MoveOn is nothing more than a bunch of communist thugs, and the biggest liars. They will say or do anything for power, and as a democrat I will vote against any candidate endorsed by them. Bottom line the communists are afraid of Palin because she goes against the republican stereotype. Funny thing is she’s more like the democrat stereotype I grow up on, just a blue jean wearing, hard working American girl. She gets into politics not to criticize the other side, but to clean up the corruption she sees in her own party, boy I’d love to see a democrat do that. When Fannie mae and Freddie mac failed Dobbs and Frank is right in the middle of it, but no investigation to determine if it was corruption or incompetence. That clown with the 90 thousand dollars in his freezer hasn’t been required to explain it. If they were republicans the outcry for investigations and for them to resign would be deafening. Funny that democrat hold republicans to a very high standard, too bad we don’t expect the same from our own party. The democrats have become the elitists, with their ivory league degrees, $3000 suites, not to mention their incredible how dare you question me arrogance and thirst for power. I will agree with Obama on one thing, it is time for a change, it’s time for the democratic party to regain it’s sanity and common sense.

The problem is that persons like Loretta vote. I’ll bet she can’t point to Afghanistan on a world map. I would rather have a benevolent dictator than persons like her voting for our leadership.

Palin is what you would expect to as an ex-beauty queen coming out of Wasilla, Alaska. I lived in the next valley over- Matanuska Valley, Palmer, AK back when she was young. That was settled during the Great Depression by good Wisconsin-type Scandanavian farmer that valued the land and acted as stewards. Wasilla grew with the johnny-come-lately southerners that came with the oil boom days of the late 70s-early 80s. Basically a bunch of speculators who tried to cash in on the land speculation surrounding a proposed capitol move from Juneau during that period. Never happened, but they are the typical land despoilers into strip mining, dirty placer operations, and anything that wrecks the Alaskan hunting and fishing habitats. So recognizing that climate change is happening and requires adjustment on their part is impossible given that world-view. She is simply willful, venal, and bad news on any policy level. Give me the real honest old-time conservatives from New Hampshire, not the southern villians.

Oh, by the way- Just a reminder that everyone in Texas is not conservative. And that **** about the “proven disaster” of socialised medicine? It’s just not true. I lived in Australia for six years. The system actually works well. People don’t live in fear all the time. The insurance and pharmaceutical companies just want more free money and are clearly responsible for the anti-Universal healthcare propaganda.

Palin is just a distraction. She has a bit of charisma, but she is a lightning rod. Whether or not she believes her own outrageous statements doesn’t matter. What matters is the fact that she is drawing attention away from the healthcare debate and the fact that she serves to make other ultra-conservatives seem less extreme and ridiculous.

I fully support Obama, as I think he is our best chance in this contaminated post-Bush world. He clearly wants to improve the lives of everyone in this country (and the world for that matter). I would like it if he were MORE radical, but I appreciate that he is trying to actually get something done. I understand. That’s a radical concept for a politician.

When I found out Move On was raising money against Palin, I didn’t wait for them to contact me, I went to them.
Gave $25 – I hope they use it to buy a ball gag; every time I hear that whinny, inarticulate, defensive piece of work I have a television Tourette’s attack.

Sarah Palin is a joke – unfortunately, not a very funny one. I hope I live to see/hear the LAST of her – I wish she’d just sink into the Alaska wilderness and live her life without the rest of us ever again having to hear about any portion of it.

Ed:

Federal Ethics 101 just for you–Obama is in the clear because:

1) Preferential treatment = official acts as President granting preferential treatment. Last I checked, throwing out the first ball isn’t an official act of his office.

2) Preferential treatment = commercial endorsement. Being a fan of a sports team is NOT a commercial endorsement. I believe there is even case law out there specifying that.

3) Preferential treatment = influence if government contracts are involved.

I am not aware that the sports organization does any contracting with the federal government

Regarding his wearing the coat…

Unlike Sarah Palin, the President does not receive any income from the team nor does any family member. The President also (to my knowledge) does not own any stock in the team.

Regarding the coat as a gift…if it is a gift…

Restrictions depend on 1) How much it costs, 2) who gave it to him. If it was a government contractor, he can’t accept. If it was a government employee, the cutoff is much lower for him not be able to accept. If it was a family member or friend (or a government employee whose friendship supercede’s the work relationship) he’s good.

Seriously, I was a Fed for 15 years…you’re going to argue Federal ethics with me?

Wow, Ed, the self-appointed defender of everything Sarah and everyone ignorant enough to not see right through her folksy little act.

Your comments have been really fun to follow and your enormous ego a little hard to swallow – but equally entertaining.

As for the fella on here who thinks a “record cold June” is evidence that global warming does not exist – more proof of the willful ignorance so rampant these days, especially on the right. (Where they got “right” from, I’ll never know.)

Global warming is not about the weather at any given time. This is “climate” change, honey. Not “weather” change. The Weather Channel or your local news can talk about the weather and record cold or record heat, rain, etc. That’s not what climate change is about and before you go making seriously uninformed comments on here, you might consider arming yourself with a few facts or at least not making claims that show you have no idea what the problem is and why so many of us are concerned.

Wow the level of misinformation in some of these user comments is appalling. So much hate, so many conspiracy theories with no evidence to back them.

Rest assured, if Palin does run in 2012, it will be for the good of the country because it will guarantee a victory for her opponent. God Bless America!

Schrodinger SIR I have read several analysis by composition analysts that do more than suggest similarities between Ayers Writing and ” Dreams of My Father” SIR. But if you don’t buy that thats fine.But anybody wearing a tin hat or rather smart fedora such as you must can see the mania in Sullys mind as to the Trig Truther spiel.
Obama doesn’t wink at us , instead he invites the press to photo op him so he can show us his “magnificent chest”.I don’t think shes up to the task of running the country yet but she couldn’t be any less prepared than Joe Biden.Joe has spent how many years in elected office and still can’t be rational, consistant, and coherent for any prolonged period.This just shows an inability to learn and absorb rational thought.I think as wrong headed as Obama is I rather find the thought of Biden a heart beat away as scary as it gets.
Once again you also displayed your rather large self important image and elitism by suggesting that Walmart employees are somewhat less than the rest of us.
And lets compare 14 year old ridicule about appearance to present day attacks steeped in sexual mysogony and ridicule of a Down Syndrome afflicted baby. Now theres moral equivalance.Sarah probably wishes they would just call Bristol and Piper ugly. I seem to remember a few months back when rumors started circling about Bidens daughter and some photos of drug use. My observation was that on the blogs I visit as part of the VRWC the rule was “don’t go there”.I don’t know if it was true or not but the fact was his daughter was off limits.
There is also plenty of back and forth about Palin on right wing blogs.Those discussions generally don’t include the sexist mysogyny, ad hominems, and unsubstantiated rumors that the left trots out.
I don’t think she’s running in 2012 or even 2016. But she will do a good job of fundraising and activating the base to take congress back in the next two elections.You see I don’t think this economy is going anywhere and it is the dems who are going to take it on the chin for that in the next election.
So I bid you adieu my elitist commenting foe of the obvious superior intellect because he attends scientific conferences and thinks Walmart employees are stupid or something.Have a nice day

Why am I not surprised Loretta is from Texas?

Good for MoveOn for raising so much money.

Ed: after writing “there is considerable evidence Bill Ayers ghost wrote “dreams of My Father.” you are in no position to criticize Sullivan for being some sort of crazy conspiracy chaser.

I’m sorry if you think that it’s too much to ask for a person who might possibly be in charge of running this country to take the task seriously enough not to wink at us and actually speak in coherent sentences. You thinks she’s up to the task of running this country? Why don’t we go ask the “Department of Law”? Perhaps they’ll have an opinion. Truth is, if Palin didn’t give McCain, Kristol, Barnes, and Lowry little starbursts, she’d probably be working at the local Walmart. Funny, though, the Palin-worshippers never mention those on the right who are just as critical of her. I wonder why that is?

You think Lefties are more hateful? Let me know when Limbaugh and McCain apologize for all those Chelsea Clinton jokes.

Murtha? Seriously? What makes you think I would defend him? Last I knew his airport wasn’t listed as one of the main reasons he was chosen for a national ticket.

But, I hate to dissuade you….PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE vote for Palin for the 2012 nomination.

Schrodinger,
Forgive me for not noticing you said YOUR next scientific conference.I didn’t realize I was questioning one of the people who really matter. No wonder you scoff at us commoners who never got past our associates degree and journeymans school. I’ve only read Hayek, Mises, Sowell, and a little bit of Rand and even some Russell. But I never got into Chomsky,Foucalt, and Derrida. So I’m clearly not qualified to debate you.( that was actually a sort of ad hominen attacking the percieved attitude of elitism offered by Schrodinger. That is for those of us who don’t pick up on that stuff like the people who really matter)
