Isn't that funny? I can just imagine it.

Sent it off to friends and family. That's one saying I've never heard before, and, it's one I'll remember Blue Brew.

Exactly, Bluebrew. From what I gather, even John McCain's own party was less than wild about him, yet they supported his candidacy. He then picked a running-mate who was totally unqualified. IF that team had won, the rest of the world would have their greatest fears confirmed, that the United States had surely lost it's collective mind.
I truly think that the Republicans did not have any intention of winning the Presidency for the reasons you have given.
The Bush years could be the most catastrophic two terms in the country's history as a nation.
The National Treasury cupboard is not just bare, but in debt to foreign countries like China.
Thousands of American soldiers are dead and many more than than that terribly and permanently disabled so that George W Bush could be remembered as a War President.
The Economy of the country was thisclose to totally trashed on Bush's way out of office, dumped into the lap of the incoming Obama Administration which is now taking the heat.
The whole thing is working out perfectly for the Republicans who are now obstructing any and all attempts by the current administration at mop-up.
The Bush Administration and their private-sector cohorts made out like bandits, none of whom are being pressured to give back their ill-gotten gains.
Too bad that the tax-payers are stuck with the bills now and the families of the fallen are forever without them.
But, George W Bush got his wish. He was a War President. So, there's that.

.....Thank you. Everything you said is true. But if Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity read this, they would vehemently deny everything you wrote and accuse you of drinking the Kool Aid of the far left and being unpatriotic. Make no doubts about this.....

They'd never take into account that Patricia was more than likely brought up at the knees of those who thought for themselves; who saw to it that she could, and would, as well; that her education was decent and that she was taught how to reason all sorts of things out, and not go off half cocked.

Guilty as charged, Saundra.
Although I was told that there is no such thing as a free lunch, I was also told that tax dollars are gathered to finance projects that would be for the common good, not to finance any politician's legacy.
Healthcare, for example, is not some additional plume in the beanie of whichever party brings it about. It's a service that every other country in the industrialized world, including my own, takes for granted.
Nobody should object to paying taxes, if those taxes are used to finance projects and services that would be impossible without the collective efforts of the citizens. What people should object to is paying taxes that end up in the pockets of war profiteers and corrupt politicians.
There is infrastructure that is overdue for maintenance and other public services that are in dire need, while debts from the previous administration cripple the country.
Why the Republicans and the so-called "Blue Dog Democrats", which to my mind are Republicans in sheep's clothing object to measures being taken to right the wrongs committed in the last eight years is baffling.
Are memories so short that the citizens now think that the current administration should be miracle-workers?
They gave the Bush Administration EIGHT YEARS to screw up the country, both domestically and internationally. Now, the fix should already be performed???
Are they all children????

Nail. Hit. On the head.

I think she looks pretty good.

Megan Fox is a looker, but then ...

But doubt anyone cares much about the 'then'.

Who'd make the better candidate? Sarah or Megan? Who's to say? They both make about as much sense.

Is running for the Presidency of the United States now a beauty contest??
Will Sarah Palin get a do-over of her run for Miss Alaska??? She didn't win that either. Sarah Palin was the first runner-up in NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR, twenty-five years ago. She was never Miss Alaska.
Her talent was playing the flute and she was a mean pageant-walker.......then.
But, on the bright side, she seems to have kept up those skills in case she needed them to run for the Presidency.
Are those the qualities that the American people are now demanding in their President??
The mind boggles!!

Maybe, but there's one Big difference, well, there's a difference.

Fox isn't a politician. [I googled, I know.]

Coincidentally I just found out that Paris Hilton hates the burglars that robbed her house.

Didn't you just think that this thinking of Sarah Palin as presidential material would just die down and blow away with all of the hot air Cheney and Limbaugh are blowing?

She is still here, she is still their "media darlin" and, even though most GOP power brokers & elected officials think of her (behind closed doors, in private conversations), as not being qualified. Even so, what does that matter?, as she is still being pumped up as an ideal candidate. Collectively, have they lost their minds yet again?
Or is it that they think of her as another willing puppet?

Palin could be like the Mother Theresa, but if Rush and Cheney supported her, I wouldn't. Rush is a clown, Cheney is the devil incarnate.

Knocking evil is easy. Everybody with a brain hates Hitler, Bush, and Palin.

The biggest problem this country has now is the Democratic party. These are the people elected to supposedly transform the country from an oligarchic plutocracy into a democracy.

These are the guys who should be under pressure to institute single-payer healthcare, end the slaughter in the Mideast, create a New Deal II jobs program to repair the infrastructure, prosecute the warmongers and torturers from the previous government, and roll back the tax cuts on the rich.

Progressives shouldn't waste their time attacking easy targets. The real enemy are their false friends.

Seems like Dick Cheney, GW Bush and Palin are like the molds behind the kitchen and bathroom walls, you think you've rid yourself of it, but here it comes again and it can be a danger.

Can you believe GW is out on the pay to hear him speak circuit? But here's the oddest thing of all, it's being reported that Bill Clinton and GW Bush are going to debate one another. Laughable isn't it? But then again, debates are so phony anymore, a real debate's not even heard of these days. It will, in all likelihood, be nothing more than prearranged questions and answers. What's the pay-scale for this? Sounds so whacked, don't you think?
