It is. That means a campaign season with no excitement and probably only a few laughs.

Politics is like a love affair - beat me, screw me, whatever - just don't bore me.

It's not so she can announce that she's going to run for office. If that's what she intends to do, do you think she would be counting that much on that movie as her strategy for launching a presidential campaign. Everybody's is so busy insulting her, they don't even realize what she's actually doing...and as I said, laughing all the way to the bank while they do it.

I hear a lot of people talking about how only sheep watch FOX news....they have no ability to think for themselves. C'mon here guys, you need to read every word carefully (whether it's pro-left or pro-right) and then use a little common sense. Some apparently feel that when a story fits their agenda, that's all they need to know....it's true but, when it doesn't only then will they start to question it and investigate further. You can't trust anything in the media any more....from either side....especially on a blog....they use omission to deceive. People take the bait hook, line and sinker and it causes confusion on the at web sites like CD for months...even years.
Iowa has the first caucuses. It's assumed to be a campaign stunt.

Hey just because you don't like republicans it's still illegal to throw fragmentation grenades at them!

Oh, aren't you funny, not! OK, I'll rephrase my statement. It is widely thought to be a campaign stunt. Happy now?

Palin's tour announcement is the strongest signal yet that she is considering a presidential bid, despite her failure to take traditional steps such as organizing a campaign team in early primary states.

Oh well, even the simple-minded and misinformed need someone to follow. And "In the Land of the Blind, the One-Eyed Man is King."
Did you read that book about the Blind people? It was a very good political book.

It makes sense though when you use the word "enlightened" to add credibility to your post. It shows exactly how you came to think Obama is successful or dignified.

I'm not a hard core Palin lover but the comments about her being stupid and why definitely show a lack of intellect on the part of the posters. Nothing is thought out. It's all regurgitated. Do you ALL have teleprompters?
They get all their talking points from places like Think Progress and Media Matters and then do exactly as you say, just regurgitate. I am sure that not one of THEM have heard her talk about anything other than on sound bites from their leaders the last 2 years.

So she is running for sure, after all. Where did you get your proof?

How about you taking the duty of keeping me up on what SNL is doing. I haven't watched that thing on purpose for many years.
