- The "Airhead from Alaska" is a prime example of Republican mentality. She said she''d like to work "with" Obama even if he "paled around with an unrepentent terrorist". Who is SHE to JUDGE ANYONE? And WHY would she set aside her "high value system" to volunteer her services at all?
Loud mouth hypocrites with an unwed teenage daughters should tend to their own problems.
Obama is savvy enough to simply "dismiss her". I have. - Reply to this comment
- Well,
Right now, the bleakest thing for the GOP is that their best future hope for the White House is Sarah Palin - ...
They''''ll be back. Maybe not in 2012, but by 2016, and that''''s not all that far away. Hopefully by then they will have a much improved platform.

You are right, the GOP will be back. We need them too. I hope they are back by 2010 because this congress doesnt impress me or many other americans either. It has an even lower rating than Bush.
I dont agree with your assesment of Sarah Palin but time will tell. I think what we have seen so far was someone so new to the scene she had very little political skills and the media coverage was so biased we still dont know what she has to offer. I think her image is further blurred by her obvious "country" or "midwest" personality contrasted with the feminist movement we have been programmed to expect.
Lets wait and see. I wont praise her but I will defend her until we have a real chance to see what she can do. - Reply to this comment
- These Republican weasels are so dense that after they nearly BANKRUPTED our country with the support of the Bush/Cheney cartel, they actually even think they have a REMOTE chance of coming back to POWER.
Obama has not yet even been SWORN IN and they are trotting out "Jindal" for 2012...so much for UNITING the PARTIES and WORKING T0GETHER for the next 4 years...you pieces of ***!!! - Reply to this comment
- Trust me when I say that once LIEBAMA, and the ignorant leaders of Congress (Pelosi and Reid) have had their chance to govern for a couple of years - you will see the tide turn back to the Republicans in small increments - just like the Democrats had to recover after 1992.
The American people will figure out that LIEBAMA made campaign promises that he cannot keep and the Republican Party will jump all over that void.
Enjoy now because history tells us that the winds will shift. - Reply to this comment
- Well life is like a dinner party at a country club. The rich people come in and eat and then afterwards they leave and the poor people come in and clean up the mess.

And bless the availability of cheap labor willing to come to this country and work for half price! Thanks to them and our generous guest worker programs, we only have to pay those people $2 an hour instead of the five that a citizen might ask for. - Reply to this comment
- Abe Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt would be appalled at what their party has turned into these days.
Pandering to the religious right just to garner votes would be especially galling to these enlightened "separation of church and state" men.
They have badly lost their way.... - Reply to this comment
- The essential GOP ideas are bankrupt, so all they can do is improve marketing to make the message, if not the policy, more attractive. That''s the only advantage for Palin. Otherwise, she is shallow and intellectually ill suited to be a national political figure. But then again, one of the most powerful people in the GOP was that pest exterminator, Tom DeLay, who also was shallow and anti-intellectual. There''s a trend there. Two big states, Texas and Alaska, with small-minded politicians...

- Well,
Right now, the bleakest thing for the GOP is that their best future hope for the White House is Sarah Palin - the female equivalent of Homer Simpson. But I don''t see that being the case in 4 or 8 years. I expect to see a lot of people emerge as future presidential elections approach, and that''s a good thing for the GOP. Sarah Palin won''t carry the party anywhere. The good news for the GOP is that I don''t think she''ll stand a chance in the primaries against some of the talent the party still possess, and will develop over the next 3 or so years. The GOP''s dead only if they don''t try to get back up, and I don''t see that happening. They''ll be back. Maybe not in 2012, but by 2016, and that''s not all that far away. Hopefully by then they will have a much improved platform. - Reply to this comment
- When you pick more of the McSame and then he picks lipstick on an elephant, a dumb anti-American bimbo, you get what you deserve. Now we have the young people going progressive so start the funeral for the party of war and death and spending.

Your name calling and slander helps no one except maybe makes you feel better. But, it definitely decreases most peoples opinon of you.

- Interesting topic. ... The GOP has certainly earned it''''s current lack of popular support and growing reputation for arrogance. Get your s--t together GOP - - this nation needs you.

Great post, right on.
But I dont think Bush is as dumb or lazy as people think. I think he is a very poor communicator and chooses to avoid the public instead of stumbling his words. Doesnt matter, the party has failed under his leadership.
I also think it will rise again. America cant stand many years of a tax and spend government. A government that grows bigger than the businesses that support it (yeah, personal taxes only support one third of the US budget, the rest comes from our businesses, the ones we work for) and then threatens to micromanage those businesses.
So, we need two parties. An eagle needs two wings to fly. But the repubs have to quit preaching religion and the Dems have to quit preacing welfare. - Reply to this comment

- I am a repub. Critical of my own party, but also of the Democratic party.
Some of you are right, the Repubs seem to pander to the religious right. However, we seldon set laws that restrict freedom based on those beliefs. The worst we do is refuse to use government money for acts that violate a large portion of the countries opinions.
But also consider this. The Dems pander just as much to the unemployed welfare class and with promises to "the workers" that they will penalize the very companies that the workers have built. Meanwhile, the biggest threat to our living is the large, modern factories being built in Asia.
Who will represent the middle class worker who just wants to live free, earn his way with honest work, and send his kids to college? Certainly not a tax and spend government. Will the Dems build that for you?
Watch as this new administration gives you health care like medicare, tax breaks like welfare, reduces your factory capacity even further, and possibly threatens your security with a reduced world awareness.
Then ask, "who is going to take care of the middle class?" - Reply to this comment

+ report abuse
This is your first post that actually makes sense and is true. I told my wife during this election process that I didn''t understand why my Dems would want the White House with the *** mess W has left it in. Obama and the Dems will never be able to clean up this mess in 4 years and therefore will take the blame in 2012. So you are correct, you all did win that aspect. - Reply to this comment
- God is firmly in the GOP corner as well. Democrats make Jesus cry.

- "Similarly we cannot compete, and prevail, as a majority governing party if we have a significant deficit, as we do, with women, where we have a large deficit with Hispanics, where we have a large deficit with African American voters, where we have a large deficit with people of modest incomes and modest financial circumstances.
