Like I told you, they made a conscious decision
to run against Sarah Palin instead, as in this
case, their actual opposition in congress:

: Individuals on Obama's mailing list received an
: email Thursday from Organizing for America
: director Mitch Stewart, stating: "Right now,
: Sarah Palin is on a highly publicized,
: nationwide book tour, attacking President
: Obama and his plan for health reform at every
: turn. It's dangerous.

Sarah Palin is not in office. The GOP opposition
to healthcare is in the congress -- the House and
Senate -- and Sarah Palin is not one of them.

One. More. Time.

Sarah Palin is NOT the opposition, the GOP in
congress are.

It is 100% pure sexism, even more unambiguous
than the racism behind "Willie Horton."

My mistake. Apparently the greatest opposition to
true healthcare reform is Obama himself:

: Rep. John Conyers took a broad swipe at President
: Obama and his chief of staff on Thursday, accusing
: them of "bowing down" to "nutty right-wing" health
: care proposals in a principle-less effort to get

ATTACK THE WOMAN! IT'S THE FAULT OF THE

Indeed. Yet it appears she's the GOP frontrunner for 2012. Did you
know Mike Huckabee also had a book-signing in Grand Rapids the same
day as Sarah's? No? Because all the coverage was of Sarah's event? And
Sarah was the only one being interviewed by Rush, Hannity and Fox
News? Well, there you have it. She's received the imprimatur of the
actual heads of the GOP, so the nomination's hers if she wants it.

And I hope you're not trying to paint me as misogynistic just because
I post the occasional criticism of Mrs. Palin. Hawaii has a female
Republican governor, and if John McCain had chosen her as his running
mate I might have voted for McCain. (But if McCain had gone with
Hawaii instead of Alaska, we wouldn't have been blessed with Levi
Johnston ... and photos of Levi's ass.)

And you do realize that I'm the lone motsser who might eventually cast
a vote for Sarah Palin -- at the primary level.

Dennis, you can't vote for Republicans for anything, for any reason.
Doing so is treasonous, as it is bad for the country. Doing so in
2008 would have been the worst possible time to vote for a
Republican for President, as we badly needed to get rid of the
Republican control of the executive branch which had done so much
damage in such a short period of time.

I'm not suggesting that you reflexively vote for Democrats. One
should certainly evaluate viable 3rd-party candidates and vote for
them if they are better than the Democrat.

But over the last 15 years, the difference between Republicans and
all other politicians has become quite stark. They don't care about
facts. They don't care about policy. They don't care about anything
but maintaining raw power. While all politicians have a tendency
towards that, at least the non-Republicans bring along with it
efforts to actually make the country better, however misguided you
might think the policies might be in any particular case.

I would think that after 8 years of Bush and 6 years of Republican
control of Congress, and after the lunacy of the last Republican
presidential primary (did you watch any of them? They were not even
discussing the same issues as the Democrats!) it would be clear to
anyone paying attention that the Republican party is morally and
intellectually and ethically bankrupt from top to bottom and needs
to be purged from public life.

From the news coverage, it appears that it's already
2012, and that Sarah Palin is deep into her second
run for President.

Do you believe it's a coincidence? No? Neither do I.

Do you think we have a free & independent media just
itching to beat each other to the truth? No? Neither do
I.

So I guess that very same media that invented all sorts
of Clinton and then Gore baggage ("Invented the internet),
made Bush and anointed Obama has also made some
pretty obvious choices concerning 2012 hopefuls.

I'm just pointing out that Palin was never a candidate for
President, she is not a member of either House of congress
and someone forgot to tell the Obama camp or the media
these things.

Before McCain chose her, Sarah Palin was an extremely
popular governor in her state, enjoying broad bi-partisan
support. She was best known for her integrity, exposing
corruption in her own party even at the expense of her
own job, her own career.

Before running against Bush, Kerry was a thrice decorated
Vietnam war hero who was originally stationed safe at sea,
and asked for a transfer to a combat post. He had originally
made a name for himself in politics by exposing the truth
behind what was going on inside "Free Fire Zones," after
he had served inside one himself. He publicly repeated what
he had been told about the atrocities committed by the
"Tiger Force," though the military and the government
actively covered them up, and it wouldn't be before 2003
when any of the acts were officially documented.

See the pattern here?

Here in this universe even the official numbers had Bush
losing by 500,000 votes, and unofficially -- and also
undeniably -- lost Florida, a state which mandated that
the winner of the popular vote must receive all of the
state's Electoral Votes.

When are you claiming we got democracy back?

I missed that memo.

Many people feel that McCain would have been a better president than Obama,
especially in our sinkhole of a foreign policy.

Of course, McCain wouldn't have touched health care, but we seem to be losing
more people to our two wars than we are to lack of health care these days.
