Palin live CNN

[Danno 1,228]

She's a two bit lying hypocritical ##### that's why. She sucked as our governor and couldn't even make it at that job, she wasn't so bright when she was our mayor here, and she has lied her ####### off to graft millions off of right wing nut cases who actually buy into her bs. She has never had an individual thought cross her brain unless it was what to cook for dinner.

Her grand kids father was handed a job up on the North Slope (Prudhoe Bay) as an "apprentice electrician", yet he didn't even have two of the four major requirements....a valid drivers license, and a high school diploma and/or GED. You have to have that and your SSN and birth certificate just to even get considered. Someone blew the whistle on him a month later and he got the boot. Palin knew what the deal was and never said anything.

She tried to get her brother in law iced from the State Troopers here and she did it in an illegal way seeing how she is a vindictive #####. Palin is nothing short of the anti-Christ for right wing nut cases who don't have a clue.

I put Palin right up there with ####### like reality TV, fake wrestling, and and QVC shopping.

I can see you are following the Poll and the inevitable crushing defeat is gettin to you.

All I can tell you is, these things go back in forth, the Left may get another shot at Power some time in the future so relax, Palin is not your enemy, just one of the ring leader which is Driving the Left out of power by historic measures.

IN fact, these stories predicting Democratic loses are getting so far out there they are getting hard to comprehend.

Here is an example. fromNBC

NBC News: 100 Democratic Seats In Play

Monday, 18 Oct 2010 08:41 PM Article Font Size

The electoral fortunes of President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party have eroded so badly over the last several weeks that there are now more than 100 House seats up for grabs, according to NBC Nightly News Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd.

Leading the network's nightly newscast Monday night, Todd reported that more than 100 seats are now “in play” – meaning the incumbents that hold them will poll less than 60 percent on election day.

Todd cited analysts from both the Republican and Democratic parties. Republicans only need to net 39 to take control of the chamber.

The result is that President Barack Obama is looking at losing nearly twice the average number of seats lost by a sitting president since World War II – a staggering assessment by voters on the most activist Congress since the 1960s.

Citing their latest polls, including an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll in which 51 percent say Rep. Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker is “unacceptable.” NBC said analysts in both parties now expect Republicans to gain control of the House, and possibly, the Senate, where 10 seats are needed to tip the balance.

“Since World War II, a president's party has lost, on average, nearly 25 House seats and four Senate seats in a midterm cycle,” Todd wrote on NBC’s “First Read” political blog.

“The numbers are essentially the same in a president's FIRST midterm, 25.5 House seats and 2.5 Senate seats. (However, the average is lower -- nearly 20 House seats and slightly more than one Senate seat -- if you don't count Truman's and Ford's first midterms in 1946 and 1974 because they had assumed office instead of being elected to it.)”

But Todd, citing both the Cook Political Report and the Rothenberg Political Report, says that Democrats are looking at a loss of 40 to 50 seats at least, making this what could be the third straight “change election.”

“With three weeks to go before Election Day, this year is shaping up to be something of a repeat of the 52-seat House and eight-seat Senate rout of Democrats in 1994,” Charlie Cook, founder of the Cook Political Report, wrote last week.

“All signs are pointing to this NOT being an average midterm cycle for President Obama's party,” Todd writes. “Our current Voter Confidence Index stands at -41. To put that into perspective, the VCI was -35 in 1982, when Ronald Reagan's party lost 26 House seats; it was -30 in 1994, when Democrats lost 54 House seats; and it was -65 in 2006, when Republicans lost 30 House seats.”

Danno, I would not be cheering that there is a movement to get the same party who was at the helm of this latest financial crisis back into office. Anyone who thinks allowing these same irresponsible and unethical idiots back into power is a fool.

Then again, you will not even accept the plight of so many Americans. So you sure as hell are not going to accept that your party's drive to remove regulation and stop the government getting involved, wiped $17 trillion in American's wealth.

I basically agree with this statement, but not directed at Danno personally.

It was the Republicans who "demanded regulatory action" on Mae/Mac back in '06. The Democrats were the ones denying there was even a problem. There are plenty of YouTube videos showing Repubs addressing the issue a half decade ago and Dems ignoring it....

Sen. John McCain's 2006 demand for regulatory action on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could have prevented current financial crisis, as HUMAN EVENTS learned from the letter shown in full text below.

McCain's letter -- signed by nineteen other senators -- said that it was "...vitally important that Congress take the necessary steps to ensure that [Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac]...operate in a safe and sound manner.[and]..More importantly, Congress must ensure that the American taxpayer is protected in the event that either...should fail."

Sen. Obama did not sign the letter, nor did any other Democrat.

1. maybe you didn't notice but there has been a pretty good turnover in the GOP since the Bush days (historically speaking)

But with that said.... it's not that I believe miracles will take place starting Nov, I just think it;'s the best hope we have at reform (Not the reform you want).

2. It's not that I am blind to anyones economic plight... it's just that you are so over the top, with all this "America is now a third world country" #######, I must tell you:

I have been to 3rd wrld Countries my friend, very few places in this country mimic them.

Palin is not anyone's friend but her own. She is just a sheep herder for all the dimwits that need some herding.

YOu see the problem with that logic is... it doesn't jive with what we have seen her do over the last year or so.

For instance, she showed loyalty to John McCain by campaigning for him though she took a lot of hits from the very coalition she is trying to build.... I can see no other reason for it.

You know it's easy to endorse a rising start but time and time again Palin has come into races around the country and invested her time and clout to candidates who were unknowns and who were barely tracking in the polls.

I don't profess to know any politicians deep motivations but:

Tell you what, lets do it this way, why don't you offer up the names of people who you respect for putting others first in Politics, who you would consider a real example of -putting others first.

What does she offer ? What individual thoughts has she portrayed on anyone ? When the Tea Party came about, she say a band of chickens ready for plucking. She takes advantage of those who want it. She tells them what they want to hear for the fact it keeps her in the limelight and in the money. Books deals, TV deals, guest speaker deals, etc...

She was a housewife who got elected mayor of a small Alaskan town, then she ran for governor against the most unpopular incumbent governor in this states history...and she quit her job after she was elected for the fact she couldn't cut the mustard. She was a pretty face that McCain's people thought would help him win a few votes and it propelled her in the lime light.

It's ironic that her strongest support comes from the Bible Belt and not up here in Alaska where we know her only too well. She is good at duping those who want to be duped. She's better suited for entertainment on America's Funniest Home Video's than she is for politics.

I haven't seen anything capable in Palin (except maybe making money for herself) and many other Americans would agree. In answer to your last point ..... there currently is no one. I do however believe Obama's intentions are honorable unlike some others. The political system has turned into a total failure so it does not matter who is in power. Currently voting has become no better than tossing a dice and hoping for the best. I think you will only get better politicians when there is less financial incentive to become one and more severe consequences for misleading the people (like that war in Iraq).

Let me get this right... you single out Palin because you believe she puts "her interests first".... and then you can't name one elected politician who models the values you demand of her?

I don't believe electing politicians is like rolling the dice.... and you don't either or you would vote half the time for conservatives.

Palin is at the bottom of my list .... period. She is in it for herself ..... period. I could only ever vote for an individual that I believe to be honorable and has integrity ...... period.

Can you name any conservative that meets that standard?

Not currently ... at least not in our neck of the woods. And all the political ads are quite annoying. You only get the sense that everone is corrupt with how the ads are done.

Reread what you wrote about Palin and then Ask yourself how this incompetent, house wife is kicking the azz of your party to the curb.....what does that say about your team.... 'Team Obama"?

Just seems odd, when a looser in any bout belittles the abilities of the opponent they just lost to.

World war with whom Danno? China has enough money in cash [$2.7 trillion USD actually, plus $2 trillion held privately by Chinese] and is producing engineers and scientist by the hour. If they wanted to, they could pump all of that and their 400,000 engineers and scientist to develop weapons to make even the F22 look like #######. Heck, they could even go for the capitalistic Achilles heel and put out a reward for any engineer and scientist to defect, giving them a $10 million bonus. Are they doing any of this? Heck to the no, rather, what those with horse blinders fail to realize is that they learned from the Soviet Unions mistakes and are instead investing hundreds of billions to build China. For example, their $350 billion dollar high-speed next-gen rail network; which is just one of many projects.

Blank check defense expenditure is the right wing American's Achilles heel. So you hate [loathe] borrowing and spending, just not on the things you deem important. On areas that just so happen to be a waste of money and deliver the lowest ROI of any dollar spent. You realize what that means right? If I was to spend a dollar on welfare, infrastructure, health care, education, R&D for cures, buy everyone a house or a car etc etc etc or defense, the lowest ROI would come from the dollar spent on defense. I would actually get more back giving it away than I would spending it on defense.

It's time the Teaparty wake up and realize this isn't the 80s or the 1800s. Welcome to the 21^st century!, a world vastly different to Reagan's 80s.

This may come as a surprise to you, but the Tea Party has a wide variety of people in it, most are coalescing around cutting Government spending and control..... I would bet many are up for cutting defense, it's not off my radar.
