"You liberals have to understand something: Sarah Palin courted us guys, too. Sarah Palin is courting Americans. We on the right don''t group-ify everybody. We don''t do this identity politics stuff. I knew Sarah Palin was talking straight to me when she was giving her speech. She was talking to Americans."



"When the economy is strong, liberals want to grow government. When the economy is weak, liberals want to grow government. There is no business cycle in government, there is just growth

This whole convention gave us rich, full, American lives of meaning, confidence, accomplishment, and achievement from both our nominees: McCain and Palin. By contrast, Obama doesn''t have a thimbleful of life experience that he wants to share with us."

Earlier I wrote that Nobama made a Freudian Slip, it was misspelled, but here it is again, when he said "His Muslim faith" what that means is, A slip of the tongue that is motivated by and reveals some unconcious aspect of themselves,i.e.Websters, I heard that the worst that can happen if Palin is one heartbeat away from the presidency, this will give you a nightmare, than Polosi,is two heartbeats away. Good Lord!!!!!!

I could not believe my ears when I hear on Stenopholis interview with Nobama, and how he made that Fredian Slip, hello what does that mean," A slip of the tongue that is motivated by and reveals some deep unconcious aspect of themselves" Obama, finally said it "my muslim faith" and S. reminded him that he was Christian...OMG.... Wake up people, Nobama/Nobiden attracts garbage especially the Hollywood type....

To all you Republicans who are still "married" to your party: when is the last time the Republican Party did anything good for any of you who make less than a million bucks a year? Fair and affordable Health Care? NO! Tax breaks for average Americans? NO! Lower Gas Prices? NO! Protection of our pristine forests? NO! Environmental Protection? NO! Lying about the WMD to get us into a war? YES! Exposing secret CIA operators (read Valerie Plame)? YES! The list goes on..Sorry guys, but your party is no longer the party of fiscal responsibility, integrity and truth. It''s time to get a divorce!

Oh, yes, go in and kill thousands of Iraqis and they will love you for it! Why can''t Bush admit he invaded their country for the OIL!! It had zilch to do with freedom for the poor Iraqi people. Since when has GW Bush had any sympathy for anyone other than himself? I say get our troops out and Petraeus too!

I think some liberals fail to understand history. First of all, It is not just republicans who get America into wars. World war 1 and 2, Vietnam, and the Korean war were all decisions of Democratic Presidents. Check your history. Also, the failed experiment of socialism failed. Also, conservatism is not fascism. I have heard that argument before from liberals. The 3 most fascist regimes in history have been socialist left parties. Nazi, Communist, and Italian Social Republic. Last, If you really hate this country, then leave. Europe is more liberal and can be a great place to live. I want to mention that their left leaning governments are turning more conservative. France and Germany elected conservative leaders.

America is heavily populated with people who do not understand ''personal responsibility'' and citizenship.
Bob Woodward is a writer of fiction...who cannot prove ''any'' of the absurd accusations in his new book.
Obama is a muslim, Joe Biden is a mediocre politician, Hillary is a socialist, Nancy Pelosi is an ignorant ''twit'', Harry Reid is, simply, stupid, Keith Olbermann is incoherent, Al Gore is a buffoon, Michael Moore is a blathering toad...and George Soros is a mean old man!
George Bush is a good man with a good heart and more brains than than the entire DNC!
Obama will lose this election...and will wind up EXACTLY like Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Al Sharpton...three has-beens with nothing to contribute and living like ''ticks on a dog''!
The Democrat party is heavily populated with socialists, communists, sychophants, parasites and moral relativists. All losers...and all who will struggle through another four years of ''being cluless''!

Wow! I really busted a few wingnut guts (and judging by video of the GOP convention, y''all have some major-sized guts! Take it easys on the double cheeseburgers, guys!). It''s not just me who thinks Dubya is the most unpopular president ever--it''s the American public. Ever read the polls, guys? Even McCain is running against Bush (didn''t mention his name once Thursday night). Guess I should go easy on you all--these must be trying times for ya. :)
