Do you people ever pay any attention to what you're saying? Gallup, the most nationally respected polling organization has a website, you know. According to them, Obama's popularity has never dropped below 50%, and in fact, has averaged in the 60s. I don't know where you keep getting that "below 50%" figure, but one assumes from right-wing Hate Radio. And here's a hint: stop watching Fox if you want to pretend you care about the facts. Because you know quite well that "Fair & Balanced" means "We Hate Democrats" -- that's why you watch it.

Also, do you own dictionaries? "Elite" really isn't a bad thing, and when you shriek against "elitism," you not only make yourself look stupid, you make yourself look proud of being stupid. Because frankly, I personally want the best and brightest to lead the country. We've already seen what happens when we put hillbillies in office.

Lastly, I hate to rain on your parade or anything, but you do realize that Reagan sucked, right? Some of us with actual attention spans remember the 80s. But then, those of you who can still whine about eight years of prosperity under Clinton -- after experiencing eight years of the dangerously incompetent Bush Jr., the worst president in our lifetimes -- are clearly adrift from the real world anyway.

CBS is totally bias for democrat- against republican.Negative remarks are
proof of sick society. You do not know anything about Sarah Palin. You form an opinion solely on what the media wants to paint for you.

Ever hear of "actions speak louder than words?"

We're not talking about Obama... snap out of your trance.

Attractiveness, gay affairs, no character, phony smile.... folksy ways, extreme brittleness... Hussein is all of them.

We saw how that worked in the campaign as Palin supporters like you chanted kill him kill him and labled Obama a terrorist. He hung in there did'nt he? And as I recall, Obama was the Head Thug to beat during that campaign.

Baggy: have you ever seen people more commited to their totally make-believe stereotypes about people as these Leftists? It's like Alice in Wonderland hearing them describe the people they oppose.

LOL. You know simply saying stuff doesn't make it true, right? I mean, reality actually exists outside your goofy fantasies.

In the first place, as for being attractive: every time somebody says this, it simply detracts from her already small relevance. Sure, she was the best-looking candidate of 2008, but that wasn't real difficult or much of an achievement. But here's a newsflash for some of you: attractive isn't just appearance. Her ignorance, her arrogance and her strident voice were downright repellent, not attractive. "Attractive" is a matter of opinion anyway -- sushi is attractive, but is still pretty much raw, over-priced garbage.

Secondly: Sure, seek the limelight. In the short span she was in the public eye, her popularity dropped like a rock. She can run for whatever she likes, but the even GOP isn't sufficiently detached from reality to nominate her again for anything. Their strategy is going to be -- as always, yaaaawn -- "Back to Basics." Which means a white male "conservative" candidate. If they can find one that hasn't already publicly disgraced himself by cheating on his wife or having a covert gay affair.

Third, leaving office because it is personally inconvenient doesn't show strength or character, it is a betrayal of public trust. She had next to no experience to begin with, and now she has invalidated even that. Her phony smile, affected folksy ways and tissue-thin bravado never worked on most of us anyway. In a way it is a shame she's finished politically (which she is); she managed to sink the Republicans once, and I'm sure she could do it again.

You have just insulted the intelligence of the majority of WE THE PEOPLE, Bubba! And that's not even counting the insult to the majority of the women in this country! You are definitely not on the path to winning friends and influencing people!

I don't wish for you to jump off a cliff, however. I think that your expressed hatred for the majority of your fellow Americans shows what agony your mind is already experiencing. So be it! ;=)

P.S. Most of the "average americans" that I know do not reside in a multi-million dollar home, possibly built by tax payers monies. Just sayin'. ;=)
