I read the rest of the article and comments. There was reference to candidates for President who did not know that there were two Koreas or that Africa was not a single country. Can anyone clarify this for me? Were they referring to Tancredo, or Palin, or both or someone else?

That is why I do not believe Teddy Rooevelt was a real Republican. He ran as the Progressive (Bull Moose) Party candidate in 1912. When TR was president, he passed laws regulating and constraining business and the American free enterprise system. He was a progressive even while calling himself a Republican.

In my opinion, the Tea Party movement should not tie itself to the Republican Party. They need to support candidates aligned with Tea Party principles, whether those candidates run as Conservatives, Libertarians, Republicans, independents or conservative Democrats.

I don’t believe that McCain is a republican any more than I believe that ABC is a legitimate news outlet.

She has the mentality of a 5th grader. Which means she is a 4th grader that hasn’t advanced to the 6th grade yet.

She became of Republican to please her father when he ran for president. She is not an actual member of the party in beliefs or actions and she only remains a Republican so the press has someone to go to when they need a puppet to mouth what they’re saying.

“progressive Republican,”

Progressing toward the RAT party? Go away, mclames one and all.

Just curious--is Megan McCain's biological daughter, and if so, by wife 1 or 2? I know he had a couple of children by #1, but thought them boys. He and the present Mrs. McCain adopted several and had one/some.

"“I got a book coming out in August..."

Well then we can expect to hear Sarah Palin apologize for supporting her disloyal dad the day after the "book" comes out. I fully expect Daughter Darling to tell how Dad REALLY feels about Sarah.

“These people are not as relevant as they say they are,” she said. “I think my father would be president if they were really that powerful.”
Ha! Thats IF they wanted to vote for your father young lady. Don’t be putting the cart before the horse.

[don-o]

It’s a comfort that all the right people continue to hate on Sarah.

[don-o]

She reminds me of Ron Reagan Jr. except Jr’s dad actually accomplished something conservative.

But, he looked pretty good in a tutu; Megan? Not so much.

That a McCain hates, and fears, the Teapartiers, is a point they should wear as a badge of honor

Someone just informed me that Congressman Murtha has died from complications of gall bladder surgery. What is the political situation in his District. Any Rep. hopefuls?

She specifically took aim at remarks by former Congressman Tom Tancredo, who suggested that people who voted for President Obama could not pass a basic civics literacy test.

She's just upset because she knows she couldn't pass one.

[MestaMachine]

Russell. YES!

[KansasGirl]

Why does anyone care what this girl has to say?

[MestaMachine]

“’These people are not as relevant as they say they are,” she said. “I think my father would be president if they were really that powerful.’”

That’s exactly WHY yo’ daddy ain’t president, missy. Put that in yer pipe and crack it!

Would someone shove a big d............onut in her mouth please?
