Great! Let's go -- I've got the lighter fluid right here.

Who said Wilsonian Liberal Fascism is dead?
It's alive and well, right here on this blog!!

Velma,

The political reality that I have learned from running campaigns is that 1/3 of voters vote one way and 1/3rd vote the other...as lemmings and sheep. really, only about 1/3rd of the electorate is even engaged and votes due to being informed and voting for the guy or gal they believe can make things happen in the way they want.

So, you want to go with the 50 million that voted for Obama? Out of that about 20+ million voted based on reasons that had nothing to do with issues. Same goes with the McCain folks!

Look, here is a prime example. When I ran statewide campaigns, we reasoned that we needed to figure out who that middle 1/3rd were, and make sure we got the majority of that group. So, let's say you have 60,000 voters in a district. 40,000 of them are lemmings and are going to vote the way they vote. So, you dont bother with them...dont waste your time.

You go after that 20,000 that arent lemmings. And all you need is to get 10,001 of them to go your way.

So, out of 60,000 voters, I need only concentrate on 10,001 voters to get elected (a little over 1 out of 6).

It is that simple...sadly!!

Yes, he is my president. And he is destroying my country. I cannot stop it. And at this point, I may not even want him to. The American people have allowed the politicians to slowly degrade our liberties over the last 100+ years. And I can only see one way to get them back...and that is that we reach bottom.

So, better us go straight there quickly...then to continue this slow decline.

As Mayor Koch (D) of New York City said, when he was defeated for re-election..."the people of New York have spoken...and now they must be punished."

So goes the American people. At this point, the only way they will get educated and defend their liberties...is to lose them. Then they will have to fight for them again.

I wish that wasnt so...but such is the history of nations.

Irish,

All of those questions are perfectly acceptable to ask. And everyone is free to speculate or react to her answers about her own decisions in any way they see fit. There is no problem with that.

But here is the difference. Levi is trying to cash in by talking about private family conversations (if he is telling the truth). It is neither his place nor his responsibility to reveal what those conversations entailed. It is no one outside the family's business.

It would be like Chelsey writing a book about how she found a moldy cigar on her dad's desk in the Oval Office..and how she found out what happened and she reveals in the book all of the discussions and fights between her father and mother.

That isnt appropriate for her to do. If an aide did it, that would be one thing. But they are her family.

So Sarah is Levi's family, because they are both that little boy's family. It is dishonorable to reveal things that were meant for the privacy of the family.

This boy is flat our wrong!

Velma,

I understand the other viewpoint.

But this kid is disrespecting his own son by disrespecting his son's grandparents. That is not right.

Why does he need to speak in public about what Sarah Palin did or did not say in the family home? What purpose does that serve? does it help him get more time with his son, if he is being kept from his son?

Of course not.

Does it help him be a better father to his son by dragging his son's family's dirty laundry out in front of everyone?

Of course not!

He may not like the Palins. That is okay. But they are his son's family, which makes him a part of the family. And he should be a role model to his son and show respect to those in his son's family.

Time for him to wake up and be a man.

"Bristol isn't out cashing in by trashing her baby's father and grandmother and talking about conversations that were said in private."

How's he cashing in? Remember, it wasn't him that made this whole thing public venue. Good ole Sarah has no qualms speaking her little mind.

Frankly, if she doesn't like all this speculation concerning her resignation, then she should have given a more forthright reason for quiting her position. Even saying personal reasons would have been more acceptable than her cryptic rambling and insinuations. A higher calling/purpose?
What? Is she becoming a nun?

mwc...

Did you read the article we are posting under? He speaks of conversations that occurred when he was living in their home.
He doesn't speak of motives, he merely repeats what he recalls hearing.

Whether you think he was good or bad, right or wrong to make these comments is another issue. Comment on this, your opinion is as valid as anyone else, that is -- if you care to show your credibility by commenting on something relevant.

zeroKnots..

The kind of anti-American speech you just posted doesn't make your proclaimed "enemy" (what you call a libiot...) look bad.

It only makes you look not only a hater of your fellow Americans, but also the very reason why your kind of thinking is sinking like a stone in the sea of change.

I'll guess you most likely hate me as well because I did vote for Barack Obama... but I'll still just work all the harder for economic, health and education reform on your behalf. No thanks required, it is the American way.

Slow, hanging out with angry libs again, I see.

Birds of a feather....

I thought I typed cbsnews.com but I must have mistakenly typed us.com. What is this cr*p - it certainly isn't journalism. This guy is not in contact with the family - how would he have any idea what her motives are. CBS is losing credibility as a news org

Well, it says a lot about the way he is if his dad hasnt been around.

And, if the Palins have not been treating him right, then he certainly is within his right to seek his rights.

What you dont do is air dirty laundry from the family. And like or not, his son's family includes Sarah, Todd and Bristol. Which means, you dont go out and talk and cash in on your relationship with them.

When you do that, you dont hurt the Palins...he hurts his own son.

They should figure this out behind closed doors, in court, wherever. Not the front page of the news...and trying to make a buck off of it.
