Agreed. Roddick seems to be doing better, from an overall standpoint. I couldn’t believe a 137 mph serve. I’d be running for the bleachers.
Grassley sounds adamantly opposed to the public option in health care.
Those who are of a mind might do some good by emailing the old coot support for this.
Hahahaha not to surprising a rat chick that can’t get a guy self destructing yet again.
Boehner made mincemeat out of Stenny! But Wallace gave Stenny all the time he wanted and cut John off in the middle. Hmmm.
Too bad he’s talking down to Sarah now.Bad move IMHO.
Rove's guy won his two elections during a time when the Clintons were still strong enough to sabotage their own party.
Similar to 2008, 2012 is different and Rove should not discuss what he doesn't understand.
Gov Sarah Palin is that clean Breath of Alaskan air that is foreign to the smog gaspers in DC and just can’t handle. No, they are so used to inhaling the smoke they’re choking down like it is for everyone. Well America knows when they see the real thing and long to taste that cool breeze. We don’t like the slick rehearsed bilge but prefer common sense and American values. That is why the Libs hate politicians like Reagan, Bush, Thatcher or Truman since they don’t have complex answers trying to message their lies. No, the Palins of the World just tell you what they think from the hip and let the PC ninnies feign outrage.
Gov Palin irritated the ruling class of elitists both left and right when she said she didn’t care what they thought. That stuck her in the class of Bush/Reagan since she clearly embarrassed the Chablis sipping Republican avant guard. These so called conservatives who live in either DC or the Upper East Side claim to be conservative yet attend all the A list parties, don’t want to have to explain Gov Palin to their smug friends. They have to try to explain what it is to hunt or fish as well as tell their friends that there is somewhere besides the NE corridor. No these conservatives are more like Hilary than Sarah. Their idea of camping is having the windows open at the Hamptons, where they call fishbait; Sushi.
Most Conservatives who are unashamed pro-life, hunting, fishing, drilling for oil, raging heterosexual hayseeds; enjoy leaders who have backbones. We love Gov Palin as well as heroes who will sacrifice their freedom for ours and don’t need some sweet talking metrofag telling us why we should be ashamed of our Country. No we love our wives, families and Country just like Gov Palin. We respect and thank her for the fact that she is willing to risk her son for her Country. That is a sharp stick in the eye of the Cut&RunocRats. She’s not bitter that she’s an attractive woman and is wise enough to know what a gift that is. She is us and we are her.
Gov Palin is a leader in the mold of Harry Truman, willing to go after corruption wherever that may be. She found Republican dirt in Anchorage and made sure it was eliminated and now she is ready to take that Columbo Overcoat to the District of Corruption. This is the rare breath of crystalline air America has lacked, making the Establishment nervous. Many of those elites know that if corruption is seriously rooted out, their friends could be in prison. So like always, DC circles the wagons, wanting to kill the calvary, which is their Stalincrat way.
The sad part is that some of our token conservatives like Georgie Will and Peggy Nooner are being tools for their liberal colleagues. You know, those Poopitsir Prize scribes who haven’t had an original idea in 20 yrs. They are the porch monkeys for the DNC as they turn their backs on Conservatism to be allowed on the veranda. These conservative Uncle Toms know that if they attack a Republican they get instant cred, a couple of back pats and an extra helping of brie. At least Judas got 40 pieces of silver.
Gov Sarah Palin has brought a freshness as well a fun ladylike charm to a Party that has been lacking for the last few decades. The femihags have told us that women can either be successful or have a family. Oh yeah, they reluctantly agreed that you could be a Hilary and have one child if it is raised by the state. They showed their true allegiance when they supported BJ and slutted every woman he assaulted. Gov Palin destroys feminism by being a happy wife, mother and Governor w/o nepotism. A self made woman in a manly man’s world was the feminag dream and now their worst nightmare. She makes the National Organization of Broads obsolete. So what if she doesn’t speak DC spin fluently. She ain’t there to woo the self-absorbed pundicRats.
Gov. Palin will drain the trough in the District of Corruption and root out the Hogs that caused this meltdown. Of course there will be resistance, but even though she’s hated by the usual enemies, as a woman she will be harder to attack politically. Unlike Obummer who is up to his feminine neck in corruption, deflecting his guilt like Jackie Chan some will stick. Sarah Palin and the Sheriff can throw these corrupt politicians behind bars although Dodd, Frank, Raines and Johnson would look good decorating some DC Lampposts. She can start naming the crooks now and give them a taste of what they are in store over the next 4 years. Then there will be an crisp Alaskan Breeze blowing over the gaseous swamp bringing a breath of fresh air from Foxy Lady Palin.
Pray for W, Gov Palin and Our Troops
On this one little thing, SgtMaj, you are wrong. IF it is a conservative/Republican, the media have no problem finding a followup question, and a followup to the followup, and a followup to the followed up followup....etc, etc...
Excellent rant! Bravo!
Biden is Geico insurance to an Obama assasination attempt by O's enemies.
I stand corrected.
THe worst thing he did was the immigration bill of 1968 I think,,it opened the door to immigration not like it was before which matched the population but opened it bigger and “diverse”.
Hadn’t heard any comments from him about Sarah. Darn. Lots of people talking Sarah down and trying to dismiss her. Very bad move for them. Hurricane Sarah is coming.
What separation of church and state did LBJ do? We always supposedly had separation of church and state which is not the anti religion you see now but an appropriate separation so no religion is favored or established. LBJ to my memory didn’t do anything about that.
If Morris says she screwed up, she better start measuring curtains.
Pray for America
Changes made to the welfare laws led to the destruction of the black family and we are paying a terrible price still.
Thanks Fudd, glad you liked it.
Pray for America and Gov Palin
We'll take her!
1954 I believe.
Bulldozing inner cities and removing black men from the family structure was a real doozie too.
That is true, I can’t understand it either.
While that may be factually true as regards the actions and inactions of others, it is also irrelevant. Lott performed his own version of political hara-kiri all by himself.
There was no need for others to have to defend him. All he had to do was issue one statement to the effect, e.g. that "I made a simple, humorous compliment to an old colleague at a social gathering. The comment was a simple complimentary expression of friendship and honor for his long life of service to his country. There is nothing about it I need to explain, nor do I intend to do so. I will have no further comment."
Then, after making this statement, he should have just shut up, stuck to his guns, and gone back to work. It would have all blown over in a few days. It was the spectacle of Lott's abject hand-wringing apologies and stupid attempts to "explain" it that did him in, and he did it to himself.
With regards to the failure of others to step up and defend him, the noted ROP philosopher bin Laden expressed it well: "When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, they will naturally follow the strong horse."
When it became obvious Lott didn't have the strength and intelligence to defend himself properly, it is not reasonable to expect his fellow politicians, who are also cowards and incompetents, to risk their necks for him as well. This type of problem management, i.e. being unwilling or afraid to stand up to and face down opponents, is exactly what destroyed George Bush's presidency.
