TGBLT meeting over already?

;-\

Ah, yes, I’ve heard that song before, John.

“You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when I found you...”

You guys weren’t looking for a moderate. What you guys were looking for a cute young thing you could use as a puppet. You guys got the first part and kidded yourself for a while that you also got the second. Heh. Oops.

Your joking right? Maybe in some other country but not here, any advantage size and ease of construction will be offset but having to deal with the nut jobs in and out of government. They were talking about one of these for Galina Alaska but as usual it will be bogged down in regulation to the point of a economic disaster. The only criteria it fits is that it would be in the middle of nowhere.

[chicken head]

LOL she didnt say that huh?

[aphid]

Yes, she did.

Palin challenged Stein in the race for mayor.

And right here is the core of this little propaganda piece. This is SOUR GRAPES from the man Palin trounced to become mayor of Wasilla.

As she gets closer to her presidential run, we can expect more and more of the losers she defeated coming out of the woodwork to besmirch her name.

And the public will buy it.

[backwoods-engineer]

Palin believes that gov should stick to the fundementals of what it needs to do.

Exactly so, but you have to read between the lines of this propaganda piece to get that.

And you point out a new lie that is gaining traction on the Left: conservatives want no government at all, and this makes us hypocrites. Nothing could be further from the truth. Some government is necessary, as the Founders also declared. But, as Washington said, government "is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master," we should at every turn oppose any increase in its power. Palin believes the same way.

Have never elected anyone not running. But you can try to be the first.

Thomas Paine said it best. government is a necessary evil. To often conservatives forget the necessary part and liberals forget the evil part.
