		<description>&quot;Sarah is dumb as a rock, and like Bush, she is too damn stupid to realize how over her head she is.&quot;

&quot;I wish people, especially pundits, would stop dancing around the FACT that she is an ignorant, uninformed BIMBO.&quot;

&quot;yeah and you gotta love the deep and caring concern of a mother who keeps “her” handicapped infant child up till past 11 pm in a public forum just for a prop…well its true the republicans EXCEL out of making lemonade out of retarded lemons  ...make sure this nutjob gets sent back to wasilla and never returns...&quot;

&quot;...It isnt bigotry if there is a rationale behind it and watching Sarah, I think she is dumb as a post too.&quot;

Man, I can hear Angry Rich right now.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s the reason I came here:

I listen to the John Gibson radio show every afternoon and they often use the posts found on this blog as theater.  The screener and John&#039;s sidekick read the posts and bring the words to life with the emotion that obviously went into them.

It is so F&#039;ing HILARIOUS!  At first I just couldn&#039;t believe people really talked like that!  I thought surely the posts were made up, but NO!  You people (and that&#039;s a gross assumption) really DO raise hate speech to an art form!</description>

		<description>EugeneDebs,

Thank you for making my point much better than I could have!

Your post is exactly what I&#039;m refering to - vicious, attack dog tactics of the left as predictable as the sunrise each morning!

What you completely missed since my post obviously struck a nerve is that I was simply making an observation, not trying to engage in a discussion per se!

Get a grip, genius!</description>

Nothing but ignorant tripe. Timmeh what an ignorant piece of garbage you are. We already get you are stupid what I dont get is why you would be SO proud of being SO ignorant. I guess all that riding on the shortbus to school gave you an inferiority complex. You deserve one. As ignorant as you are it would be silly of you to think you can actually have a conversation with those of us with a functioning cerebral cortex. It is clear you KNOW you cant actually discuss something with your obvious intellectual superiors that is why you come in and carp AT us instead of trying to talk TO us. Its ok. You are stupid. We pity you and anyone who has to actually be in your putrid presence. Now go play nice with the other special children the adults are trying to have a conversation.</description>

“Over that time our country has been diminished and faces multiple crises of long standing with no end in sight, IF we continue to follow those same policies.”

Our country has diminished? You guys always cry about this ever since Carter, a pathetic president BTW, was ejected by landslide. Considering Clinton, with his conservative economic policies for the most part, didn’t govern in the least with a far left socialist ideology, the 1990s kicked the crap out of any previous decade in almost all areas.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

You really are an ignorant piece of stupid when you spew out such idiotic talking points. Socialism SKWWWAAAAKKKKK, you are a putrid ignorant parrot. Anything to the left of Vlad the impaler is far left to morons like you. Clinton raised taxes on the rich just like Obama wants to you and you want to call that conservative economics? YOU are pathetic

“And it’s going to take a few decades of miracles in order for this country to recover from the damage, if we survive at all.”

And it sure as hell isn’t going to be saved by moving to the left.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

According to YOU, then again you are an idiot. We TRIED the conservative give all the money to the rich and beg for crumbs tactics. We TRIED the deregulate everything and let the robber barons suck the life out of the economy then snivel for taxpayers to bail them out agenda. We tried it under Raygun and the economy SUCKED then we got the S&amp;L crisis. We tried it under Bush the dimmer and the economy SUCKS and we have the current crisis. Only a complete and utter MORON would want to keep making the same mistakes.</description>

WRONG Tracy her approval rating is 68% still good but NOT 80% It isnt bigotry if there is a rationale behind it and watching Sarah, I think she is dumb as a post too. IF someone thought that because she is a woman or a Republican THAT would be bigotry. Thinking SHE is dumb as dirt because they WATCHED her try to debate is NOT bigotry. Try to keep up.</description>

“What I am saying is that I have never read you expressing concern for the suggestions that Mr. Obama might be a closet Muslim, terrorist, communist, nonChristian, and my personal favorite AntiChrist.”

Oh, dude I have never thought and of that crap was ever true. Michael Savage is a total jerk for that one. Obama may be one of the most liberal senators, but he isn’t some secret communist Muslim spy bent one becoming president and taking the U.S. down.

“As you may have noted I myself care less for ideologies and more for logical consistency of thought…”

Well I think ideology make a huge difference in how your thought process works, what your priorties are and what mechanisms, i.e. taxes, regulations, ect… you use to achieve your goals. I think conservatives and liberals all what everyone to suceed in life they just have different ideas on how to achieve it.

No his work a U.S. Senator that overshadows anything Obama has ever done which includes getting schooled in corrupt Chicago politics.

Ah more ignorant hivemind talking points from Tracy. Do you mean McCains work as a Senator with Charles Keating? Are you really touting one of the Keating 5 then snivelling about Chicago politics being corrupt? Not Obama just that he was in a CITY that had a corrupt political machine. You do know you are a moron dont you?</description>

		<description>It&#039;s fascinating to finally come here and see for myself what a vicious pack of dogs you &quot;progressives&quot; really are!!!

I suppose with respect to the debate, whether or not you think she won depends upon your political persuasion, but you people really need to get a grip!

Quite frankly, if you people who so viciously attack the character of people you don&#039;t even know are supposed to be thye pinnacle of enlightenment, we are all in very big trouble in this country.

<p>I suppose with respect to the debate, whether or not you think she won depends upon your political persuasion, but you people really need to get a grip!</p>
<p>Quite frankly, if you people who so viciously attack the character of people you don&#8217;t even know are supposed to be thye pinnacle of enlightenment, we are all in very big trouble in this country.</p>

		<description>I don&#039;t care if she had notes, an earpiece or God telling her what to say.  She is STILL stupid as they come and the worst VP pick in history.  She defines dumb.  She wins and it&#039;s time to go Founding Fathers, scrap it and start over.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update&lt;/strong&gt;  Marc Ambinder reports, &quot;Debate rules prohibited candidates from bringing any pre-prepared material with them. Only blank paper and writing utensils were provided. So to the extent that Palin seemed to be reading, it was because she had, during the course of the debate or during Joe Biden&#039;s answers, written down some notes.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

thank you!

boy, why did that take all day? (or most of it)</description>

		<description>I fear I&#039;m becoming assimilated. I&#039;m almost beginning to enjoy the &quot;blizzard of words&quot; answers, when she runs out of badly rehearsed talking points. 

You get that same pleasantly disoriented sensation as from a walk through the House of Mirrors, or a ride on the Tilt-a-Whirl.

It&#039;s like someone putting a copy of the National Review in a blender, pressing the Mince button, and reading it aloud to you. It&#039;s like the reading room at the George Bush Presidential Library exploded, and having a banshee picking up random scraps of the resulting confetti, reciting them to you in her mournful wail.

At one point, I half expected her to begin quoting Dr. Seuss. As it turned out, it might have clarified her point better if she had. The ghosts of Dali and Joyce nodded their heads in agreement and approval as she spoke. 

I eagerly await the next episode of Through the Looking Glass with Sarah in Wonderland. I am certain Edward Lear, Ogden Nash and Gelett Burgess shall all surely be there in spirit.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;wasn’t that Palin’s style all last night&lt;/em&gt;

That may have been the most fascinating part of the whole debate. She would serve up an irrelevant gotcha, Biden would chew it up and spit it back at her, and she didn&#039;t even realize she had just been schooled, again. She&#039;s utterly oblivious of the &quot;reality based&quot; world around her.</description>

		<description>And, on the subject of ideology, due to a Republican controlled White House, the GOP platform has been the defacto &quot;law of the land&quot; for 20 of the last 28 years. Over that time our country has been diminished and faces multiple crises of long standing with no end in sight, IF we continue to follow those same policies.

As bad as many Presidents have been, Bush is an unmitigated disaster who&#039;s permanent campaign has made it impossible for sane voices, from either party, to try and minimze the damage. One could argue that, on virtually every occasion, Bushco and the GOP have made the WORST POSSIBLE decision. They haven&#039;t just been wrong. They&#039;ve been as wrong as it&#039;s possible to be.

The GOP ideology has been tested to death and it&#039;s been found lacking. Their results suck and, when they are called on it, they babble &quot;Clinton did it&quot; or some psychotic &quot;anti-American&quot; crap. And it&#039;s going to take a few decades of miracles in order for this country to recover from the damage, if we survive at all.</description>

		<description>for the &lt;strong&gt;McCain&lt;/strong&gt; campaign, who complains about the &quot;gotcha&quot; press to the point of a media blackout, wasn&#039;t that &lt;strong&gt;Palin&lt;/strong&gt;&#039;s style all last night? Trying to call out &lt;strong&gt;Joe Biden&lt;/strong&gt;.

Which always sounds perfect when prefaced with &quot;what have I been here, 5 weeks&quot; and &quot;I am a Washington outsider&quot;

Also, &lt;strong&gt;John McCain&lt;/strong&gt; knows how to win a war? He was active in Vietnam, did he win that war? Maybe he should offer to be a POW for 5 years so we can &quot;win&quot; in Iraq.

		<description>Actually, stupid troll. Her &quot;approval rating&quot; back home has tumled 12% to 15% since she got selected. I even saw one poll that had her approval rating down to 53% but, they seemed a little biased. And she&#039;s fundamentally: dishonest, ignorant, dogmatic, vindictive,reckless, partisan, primitive, delusional, aggressive and incurious. 

Her public record is very clear and her total lack of ability to address a single question merely reinforces that impression. She&#039;s disqualified long before I even need to examine her political ideals. She&#039;s intellectually and ethically unqualified for any high office. As is anyone who would select her.</description>
