"Lay off of bike riders. A lot of hard-core conservatives in Colorado ride bikes."

At ease. Although cleverly disguised my comment wasn't really about bike riders, I just make it appear like it was.

My point was that this columnist fancies himself as enlightened, and the rest of the readers are a bunch of croutons.

He is one of the anointed and those that support Palin? We are the unclean and unwashed. This column is par for the course for this idiot.

I don’t get how such a boring writer gets printed. I couldn’t even bring myself to click the link to read the rest of the article, I was so bored.

It seems to me her chief claim to fame is she looks like Tina Fey. “

He got it the other way round.
With no Sarah Palin, Tina Fey's TV series suffered big ratings declines.
By contrast, with no Fey, Sarah Palin sold more books non-fiction in one week/two weeks, than anyone this year, and has the second biggest selling first week sales political memoir in the history of this country..soon to be the top selling political memoir ever, and have Oprah her highest ratings in 2 years.
Guess who is the real star here.

Mob scenes like the one at Costco are being replicated all across the country. The book has already sold over a million copies! In three weeks!”

That's two weeks to you Benson. And they are not "mobs".

she told a bunch of misleading untruths, if not outright lies, .............. bought a lot of clothes on other people's credit cards”

The guy is talking about 0bama here right?

Agreed but let us Coloradoans, buns of steel people, work out our bikes ;-] We are the fittest state in the country and we like it.

We can ride a bike and carry a concealed weapon at the same time.

As far as I am concerned, this guy can go straight to hell. That is probably where he will end up anyway, so he may as well get an early start.

If the businesses were making a profit, they would not have to borrow money to hire people, buy inventory, or expand. If they have to borrow money to do that , they are probably going belly up anyhow.

no, it still the same. Its too risky to lend out money esp when some of these banks are expecting tonnes of losses e.g ppl defaulting on mortgages, credit cards etc and those exposed to derivatives

Some folks, left and right, are scared, really scared of Sarah Palin. Don’t you love it?

Looks like the Mittbots are a tad nervous...

It’s not that he doesn’t get Sarah. He’s just a liberal who fears and hates her, pretending that he doesn’t get her.

Shouldn't that be "gerbilist"?

Mr Benson .... if you have to ask the question, you wouldn’t understand the answer.

comment left: Sarah’s got good old fashioned horse sense and people recognize it. She’s able to express the heart of conservative America with an ear tuned to the footsteps of our forefathers.

“But what I really don’t get is Sarah Palin.”

People like her because of her values, Sherlock. She is not only pro-life, she cherishes life. And will defend it with the ferocity of a mother lion over her cubs.

I’m sure he ‘gets’ obama. Hope and change, right?

VB, I agree that 4rcane has the very simplified and erroneous POV about what has caused the TBTF Banks and other lenders to restrict credit. The truth is available but much more complex and it reveals too much criminal activity, political graft, FedReserve and big Gov failure and thus is carefully obscured by populist rage, media false flags. The best sources for knowledge are Thomas Sowell, AEI, Heritage, MISES Org and City Journal. Read and see that this failure is not the Free Market of capitalism but the opposite!

If the GOP has the GOP Convention in only-Romney Utah
after this, they deserve to lose for their stupidity.
