you*re missing the big picture, chief.

it's not the air that escapes when she opens here mouth, it's the fact that she's down the road, soaking up the attention, when a bona-fide candidate announces.

it's not just palin - it's palin, bachman, trump, teabaggers and the like that are shitting on Republicans, doing far more damage than any democrat could.

the right wingnuts are driving away undecideds who may lean right.

say, how many presidential elections have you actually seen?
I'm not missing the big picture at all. I fully understand the risk those players impart for the GOP. If I were a candidate (as opposed to whatever the hell she is), I'd be calling her and telling her to get back to Wasilla and STFU. The point I was making was limited to this single instance and the classless reaction against her...simply because it's her.

Bachman is apparently about to announce her candidacy. She's like a mini-Palin.

How many elections have I seen, or how many have I voted in? The first one I can remember with any lucidity is Carter/Ford. I remember Reagan/Carter extremely well. First one I voted was in Clinton/Bush in 92. Closely followed and voted in every one since. That enough provenance for you?

I can't imagine she'll get the nomination. Just the thought makes me throw up in my mouth a little.

But seriously. She said something that was historically correct. She could quite possibly be the beneficiary of coincidence of her own gaff and historical fact, or she could have actually intended to say that. Who knows?

Either way, the classy thing for the left to do would have been to just let it die. Instead, they just look like tools and they feed the machine.
No the classy thing for the left to do was admit they fucked up and apologize for trying to make her look stupid while in fact, not knowing what the hell they are talking about themselves.

It's BOTH sides of politics. You'd have to be pretty blind not to see that.

Nope, it is PEOPLE from both sides that are fucked up. As it is, liberal ideology, regardless as to who is toting the banner will always be as fucked up as those representing it.

For me I hope the solution to American politics can be found, in part anyways, with Herman Cain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Cain

If there is any hope at all left in me for putting our nation back on the right path, I will place it in his leadership and values.

all of today's politics is classless. who needs class when you have bullet points and base? honestly, it's both sides pandering to the primaries.
Tell me it was palin's idea, all on her own, to drive that campaign bus glorified RV over to New Hampshire where romney was announcing. so all these politicos (right and left) will be running around looking for hard line photo ops and what happens in the general? they both trip over themselves running to the middle.
you've seen it time and again, why are you askin "why are the democrats making a big deal?" if i were obama, i would sponsor palin. he's the man who benefits from the hyper-partisanship/base pandering that happens before the general election.

nope not illegal, and he will not go to jail for it. On the other hand it is not illegal for his constituents to turn their backs on him and run him out on a rail either.

Truthfully I don't have anything against the woman.. other than the fact she creates a media frenzy only to claimed to be a victim of the lame stream media.

But in the clip I just posted you can almost see the birds chasing each other in her head as she struggles to answer the question.

Why should they? He cheated on his wife, not embezzle the treasury or something.

I hope he keeps his seat just to spite the moral orels.
An exclusive NY1-Marist poll shows that 51 percent of city voters want Weiner to remain in office. Only 30 percent believe he should resign and 18 percent are unsure.
30% of New Yorkers need to get lives.
