Sarah Palin? Why should anyone take her comments and opinions seriously?
Sarah Palin, the hot, anti-intellectual babe who digs guns and bibles, champion of the ignorant and gullible, and those who regard themselves as the crowning glory of the human race.

Those that aren't left-wing nutcases, or tin-foil-hat wearers. You know, the people that make America work.

Did you know that there were no conservatives before the 60's.

There was the mainstream "regular" Americans and the liberal left.

Exactly. Now, unfortunately, we are saddled with the "progressive" and leftists who think their razor-thin experience, and nut-case ideas should overcome centures of real-world experience dealing with what workds and what doesn't work.

Well I say the brainwashing has worked, aka, the "dumbing down of America".

Seriously is it so hard to acknowledge that this country is comprised of people with differing views? Not right nor wrong, but just different. Grow up.

Surprise, surprise, Another dodged question. Why does Fox still call her Governor when she quit and let the people of Alaska down? She did speak up in a timely manner this time though. Quick to criticize yet shuns her own criticism and compares it to blood libel

Socialism has been proven over and over again to fail.

Therefore, the left is wrong.

You cannot spend your way out of a recession, it's been proven over and over again. That's why the Great Depression lasted so long.

Therefore, the left is wrong.

Larger, more intrusive government stifles economic growth, it has been proven over and over again. That's why the Great Depression lasted so long.

Therefore, the left is wrong.

Placing less of a tax burden on corporations and citizens works.

Therefore, the right is correct.

These arguments cannot be broken.

Differing opinions are our right.

The truth makes America great.

If it wasn't for ignorant people to obey their every word, the republicans would all but seize to exist.

While at the same time refering to The President as Mr Obama, it is President Obama and anyone in the real news business knows this that means they are atempting to be disrespectful, a typical childish game from rightwingers.

It's "cease" to exist.

But I digress.

Anyone who takes a politician at their word is a fool.

"We the People" told our representatives what we expect from them in November, not the other way around.

The Tea Party drafted people into running, some good, some bad.

But WE chose the people that WE wanted to represent us.

We will no longer be lied to.

If some of these Tea Party representatives let us down, they will be replaced in two years.

This argument cannot be broken.
