Palin, I knew Reagan. You're no Reagan.
CNN ^ | 12/1/10 | Ed Rollins

Posted on 12/01/2010 12:06:59 PM PST by pissant

Editor's note: Ed Rollins, a senior political contributor for CNN, is senior presidential fellow at the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency at Hofstra University. He is a principal with the Dilenschneider Group, a global public relations firm. He was White House political director for President Ronald Reagan and chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.

(CNN) -- The first date is over. Not much happened. President Obama and his new governing partners, the House and Senate Republicans, met at the White House along with the Democratic leaders and discussed the unsolvable issues between them.

Even though they made no decisions and both sides went their separate ways, they agreed to start negotiations on extending the tax cuts. That in itself is the beginning of a positive process. They actually talked to each other and talked of a plan for action.

As with real dating, both sides have to get along or nothing will happen. So maybe this situation has more in common with an arranged marriage.

The American voters are the substitute parents, and they want this marriage to work or at least to be civil. And we, the voters, hold the shotgun.

Lets see how quickly current conservative leaders jump on her bandwagon.

And who would those be?

"That's okay, dude, you'll "get it" eventually........ "

I'm sorry. You're not getting anymore hints.

"How about replying to my refutation "

When I see you actually "refute" something, I'll respond.

I don’t see anything petty, foolish or childish about what he has to say and I agree with him, having read the entire article. Palin, on the other hand, has been petty and childish time and time again. I stand by that.

I wouldn't expect anything else from you since you are a Romneyite.

For starters, Rollins saying that Palin compares her self to to Ronald Reagan is foolish on his part.

"I don’t know why the powers that be here on FR don’t put a stop to this individual troll"

I feel the same way about you with your nobody-on-Earth-besides-Palin posts and vanities. Obsession on either end of the spectrum gets old in a hurry.

Well I checked to see if there is a “blue” moon this month. No dice. The full moon is the 21st, so it must be the NASA thing.

If the aliens end us before I collect even a penny of my retirement, I'm going to be very pissed.

On the upside, I'll never have to hear the name "Keith Olbermann" again.

I did refute your assertation, but with your inability to write a cogent English sentence, you are just digging your heels in.

That’s okay, you won’t have the last laugh; though you are supplying plenty of giggles for the rest of us.

Todd is seen and NOT heard. Todd KNOWS his place. and he's become about as effeminate as they come.

I guess you didn't bother to watch him on Sarah's show managing both his family and fishing business with a firm hand...

Yeah, all you guys are right. NO CONSERVATIVE LEADERS will have to give their opinion on a Sarah Palin candidacy.

I wrote: OTHER PEOPLE are comparing her to Reagan.

ES replies: Perhaps he's also speaking to those other people.

Really? By lying about Palin, saying that she's a doof for "comparing herself to Reagan," when she hasn't?

He's a piss-poor speaker, obviously.

Yes, but last time it was a bit closer to election time. Soon there may be another ‘book mark-able’ thread, lol.

You poor little retard. Vote 519 was an amendment to the bill.

There were only two REAL votes for the bill. One that created the original House bill 3221. Roll Call 832: Hunter NAY

And the one that ADDED the F&F bailout into the bill via Senate Amendment.

Vote 301: Hunter NAY.
