Since when do a "collection of old people" not have the ability to gather and vote according to their principals?

If liberals had their way, the naysayers in this nation wouldn't have a say.

You people are disgusting.

If you don't like it, create your own tea party-esque movement to tell the world how much good Democrats have done. (LOL GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!)

Why does Meghan McCain have a microphone anyway? I don't recall that she has any influence whatsoever on anyone, anywhere, over any policy of any type.

Yep its so funny now they wanted to suppress the Tea Party and say it is just a few nuts. Now they see the results of both Obamas policies and the movement with recent election results; they want deny freedom of expression. It started with the administration wanting to limit acess to Fox news and has gotten worse since.She is just one person with a agenda that is easily seen by listening to all her views. She should be free to express it just liike everybody else but it is only her views meaning little otherwise.

It just shows that no matter how screwed up the Repubs are, there's always some hope!

lol More consider themselves to be conservative then " progressive" just how many do you think her words is going to bring to the republican party?

Do you think that McCain being a " republican" after Bush helped or hurt him?

How many days did you spend out talking to people before the election?

Its also common knowledge that McCain could only get a couple 100 maybe a few thousands to attend his events. When Palin was announced how many was she getting? That alone tells you who the people was supporting in McCain Vs Palin debate

I love her.
She's right. The GOP needs a new face, and it ain't Sarah Palin. But if they hadn't figured that out after Bush, then they aren't going to figure it out now.

Maybe Sarah Palin is a total fruitcake. I don't know. I don't know her personally.

But extreme situations are what cause fruitcakes to come crawling out of the woodwork. And I think what this administration is trying to do is pretty extreme. Especially when most of it is in the name of 'doing something' for the sake of 'doing something.' And it's costing a ton of money. And it's raising my taxes.

We need less government, not more. We need lower taxes, not more spending. I don't care how that comes about...whether it be less war, fewer subsidies of whatever, fewer consumer 'incentives,'less foreign aid, welfare cuts...just stop the freakin' spending.

I will elect that person. The one who puts more money in my pocket to spread around the economy and shuts the government up and out of my life. And keep your damn 'moral' christian agendas out of my face.

Which candidate is that?

He was the nail in his own coffin. The R by his name was the hammer
How many more people flocked to circuses because they had "freak shows"? People love curiosities. Of course it does help turnout when you thump a bible in bible thumping areas of the country. Palin's references to God in her so called speeches is remarkable. She missed her true calling as a traveling Christian Revival, Evangelical, End Time believing, tent pitching preacher woman.

our whole government right now is a freak show.

we have power hungry people putting our country in an increasingly dangerous position.

i don't even think america had a real choice in the last election-with both candidates pro war, pro bailouts, pro spending, and pro illegal immigration.
