Balls-on accurate, and why Obama has so much trouble trying to win the votes of Todd Palins across the Rust Belt.
There's a universal truth about humans if I ever heard one!
Todd so far seems to be a classic red-blooded American male, family-focused, independently-minded, hard-working...he’s from the real world.
Arugula McTeleprompter (D-Rezko) is a new-age castrated drone, speaking in theoreticals and PC buzz words to avoid offending anyone (or taking a stand on anything). He’s never worked an honest day in his life, considers signing people up for every new handout he can get funded by those who get up before noon an accomplishment, and has devoted his life to making people as dependent on omnipotent government as possible. He knows no life outside of the overgrown urban gutter, magnet to those can’t or won’t make an effort to support themselves.
Polar opposites is putting it lightly.

Obama IS an historic Presidential Candidate...he’s the first Metro-sexual!!!
I have this persistant fantasy of Todd Palin decking Barack Obama the next time he calls Sarah a nasty name, and the Secret Service saying Obama tripped.
Of course, it also works to have Sarah Palin decking Barack Obama herself!
Nice war imagery there, Joe. Like equating her with terrorists now instead of pigs, eh?...........
Where is Zero Possumus Arugula's(giggling while typing that) Marlboro?Actually Todd is from the relatively low lands of Southwest Alaska at Bristol Bay (maybe that explains the name of one of their kids).
But I’d follow him into the mountains
Todd Palin isn't running for office. Why the comparison to the metrosexual Obama?
No mention of the "Man from Hope." Or the fact that we know so very little about Obama compared to others who have run for the Presidency. He is a "riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma."
This innate dislike for the more pedestrian America has lead him into some dark corners. From Ayer's living room to Wrights chapel, Obama seeks out those who feel alienated from and vengeful towards the masses, and draws strength from their rage.
I'm not saying he doesn't love America, but he doesn't seem to care for Americans much at all.
Klein gives Eagleton too much credit—McGovern’s candidacy was doomed even before then. The only Democrat who might have given Nixon a run for his money was Muskie, and I suspect a Nixon vs. Muskie race would have been more like GHWB vs. Dukakis than like GWB vs. Kerry.
Todd Palin: Real
Barack Obama: Fake
Todd Palin: Retroman
Barack Obama: Metroman
So now Obama is running against Todd Palin, Joe? What a bunch of idiots.
I work with a guy here who looks exactly like Mr Palin.
(sorry, ladies. He’s married, too.)
From the Klein piece:
“He lives within the hilarious conundrum of being both too “cosmopolitan” and intellectual for Republican tastes — at least as Rudy Giuliani described it — while also being the sort of fellow suspected of getting ahead by affirmative action.”
This is so typical of leftists. They immediately assume that being an intellectual implies intelligence. Sorry, I’ve worked in academia long enough to be sure that this isn’t even vaguely true.
Intellectual merely describes an area of focus. I know some brilliant people who don’t do intellectual pursuits. They don’t read a whole lot of books, nor do they banter about on philosophy or history. However they are some of the smartest people I’ve known. Just because they focus on being experts in, say, sports doesn’t have any bearing on their brain power.
Obama is a great example of this. He’s an intellectual. He bandies about his Ivy league credentials, and says the right references from the literature, but he doesn’t understand jack didly squat. His grasp of economics, history, or even the constitution are all laughable. This is from an alleged constitutional lawyer. He understands far less, even, of everyday life.
It’s pretty apparent to me he got by on Affirmative Action because his ability to comprehend complicated issues is next to nil.
The Democrat party began as a coalition of anti-federalists who had been opposed to the new Constitution because it gave the federal government too much power, and therefore they favored the next best thing: a strict construction of its text. Its original exemplar was, as noted, the Jeffersonian "yeoman farmer," who was succeeded in turn by the Jacksonian backwoodsman. These were the original Democrats, and they lived in, and sired the people who still live in, "fly-over country."
By contrast Alexander Hamilton, the great-grandfather of the Republican party, was an urban cosmopolitan. A rootless bastard born in the West Indies, his home was the big city which to him was not a symbol of decadence but of vitality. With accountant's ink for blood, he created Pat Buchanan's ultimate nightmare--the National Bank!!! (Ironic when one considers how Hamiltonian Buchanan is in his other views.)
Hamilton, and the Federalists, Whigs, and Original Republicans who succeeded him, believed in federal supremacy and loose construction of the Constitution (contrary to contemporary mythology, laissez faire was never the doctrine of American business, which has always been interventionist, but of Jeffersonian agrarianism). The "heartland" of Republicanism and its antecedents was the coasts--New England, California, and the Pacific Northwest. In the Election of 1896 it was the Coasts that voted for the conservative McKinley while the Bible-Belt Heartland was frothing at the mouth for the radical William Jennings Bryan.
The closest I can come to pinpointing the point at which all this changed was the New Deal, when Jefferson's Democrat party adopted Hamilton's interpretation of the Constitution (though one could say that the Bryanites had already done this) and Ivy League grads, formerly staunch Hamiltonians and McKinleyites, began to spy for the Soviet Union. And even here, the New Deal was king in the traditional Jacksonian areas. In fact, in the FDR landslide of 1936 the only states to go Republican were Maine and Vermont!
Nevertheless, the New Deal seems to have been the beginning of the reversal of ideologies and attitudes among the two parties. And as an unabashed and unashamed Hamiltonian, this fact gives me no joy whatsoever.
This guy pretty much calls Obama a pussy. And this is what zerObama’s SUPPORTERs are saying?
