Yeah, and that isn't a left-wing platitude, of course, it's a deeply complex, nuanced, strikingly original position.
Given that the rich and powerful were gladly getting onboard the corporatist Obama plan before the peasants ruined the party, reality seems to be at odds with your Marxist mantra.

Palin, pre-speech (yesterday):
A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. national poll released Friday indicates that Americans are split on Palin, with 43 percent seeing her in a positive light and 46 percent holding an unfavorable view.
"Opinion on Sarah Palin breaks down along party lines, with 7 in 10 Democrats disliking her and 7 in 10 Republicans with a positive view of Palin. She has a net-negative rating among Independents: 42 percent favorable and 47 percent unfavorable," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "She also continues to rate better among men than women."

We're trying that now. Frankly, it seems the educated, liberal, 'anointed', properly schooled, inbred semi-aristocracy that's in control is fucking it up royally. Trillion-dollar deficits for a decade? Increasing taxes to pay for more 'stimulus'? Even with a majority in the House and Senate they can't get the things that are 'absolutely essential' passed? And could you tell me again how having government - already $1.6 tril in debt for this fiscal year - take over health care will somehow make it all more efficient and cost effective?
Oh, wait - they'll make it work by 'taxing the rich'.
Well, that's working really well for California, isn't it? Promise the voters every little liberal wet-dream program you can imagine in order to win votes, to be paid for by taxes on those evil rich scum... And how about New York? Oh, I forgot - the rich are MOVING OUT of the city - the taxes are getting too high!
As far as the fascism and theocracy crap goes, I'm sure you're quite a true believer in it. Tell me, were you certain that Bush was going to suspend the 2004 election to institute a theocratic government? And when that didn't happen were you proclaiming loudly that he was going to cancel the 2008 election and institute a Christian-centered theocracy that'd rival Islam as far as subjugation of women go?
I'd suggest you look up the definition of psychological projection, 'indie', 'cause I'm thinking you're screaming about it because you'd really, really love to see it happening with the Dems in control.

i am happy that she is the spokesperson to the Taxed Enough Already party. She will be very effective in that roll. The movement will change the dynamics of the 2 party system. This movement needs not to become a party but act more in the manner of a candidate mover and shaker. Progressives should be afraid very afraid.

It's all good. She's too much of a lazy loser to ever run for an office with real responsibility, witness how she jumped ship on her two previous elected positions. And if she did run as the Tea Bagger candidate (I really hope she does), it would just suck votes from the Repub candidate. She just wants money and fawning adoration. So far she's been getting both from the brain dead baggers.

True enough, Jeff, but they have it all boiled down to a few simple principles of who to hate and who to blame for everything, so they don't have to think.
The left was beaten intellectually after Reagan, and almost went away in defeat when the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Empire collapsed. Their resurgence was based on standard Marxist theory - they no longer worry about the argument, they just lie as it suits their purposes.

Sarah fired a bazooka into the Obama cocoon.
The MSM is scrambling to negate the impact.
They will fail.
Whether or not you think of her as "presidential", she's kicking butt, for
the conservative side. Mitch McConnell, Orrin
Hatch, et al should take note. The Dems, post speech
have JELLO-knees...Shrum and others are on
TV calling her every name in the books. I'll

"My guess is that 20%ers want stupid people to run the country"
We're trying that now. Frankly, it seems the educated, liberal, 'anointed', properly schooled, inbred semi-aristocracy that's in control is fucking it up royally. Trillion-dollar deficits for a decade? Increasing taxes to pay for more 'stimulus'? Even with a majority in the House and Senate they can't get the things that are 'absolutely essential' passed? And could you tell me again how having government - already $1.6 tril in debt for this fiscal year - take over health care will somehow make it all more efficient and cost effective?
Oh, wait - they'll make it work by 'taxing the rich'.
Well, that's working really well for California, isn't it? Promise the voters every little liberal wet-dream program you can imagine in order to win votes, to be paid for by taxes on those evil rich scum... And how about New York? Oh, I forgot - the rich are MOVING OUT of the city - the taxes are getting too high!
As far as the fascism and theocracy crap goes, I'm sure you're quite a true believer in it. Tell me, were you certain that Bush was going to suspend the 2004 election to institute a theocratic government? And when that didn't happen were you proclaiming loudly that he was going to cancel the 2008 election and institute a Christian-centered theocracy that'd rival Islam as far as subjugation of women go?
I'd suggest you look up the definition of psychological projection, 'indie', 'cause I'm thinking you're screaming about it because you'd really, really love to see it happening with the Dems in control.
Folks on the right? Or even the middle? Hell, we've got enough to do living our own lives - why in the hell would we want to control anyone else?

Hockey moms support their teams and root for them to win. Obama's wife is proud of America for the first time, Sarah has ALWAYS been proud of America. Sarah is demonstrably a quiet Christian, The Obamas subscribe to GOD DAMN AMERICA. Obama thinks there are 57 states. Sarah knows there are 50, as she was GOVERNOR of the 50th state. The $100,000 speaking fee was returned to the cause. How did Obama go from a freeloader to multimillionaire?
Rather than continue to point out the obvious, and keep listing them, this should pretty much sum it up:
THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA GAVE US OBAMA - NOW THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS DOING ITS WORST TO DESTROY SARAH PALIN. What better recommendation to elect her President?

Tell us you wouldn't be all over Obama for writing notes IN HIS FREAKING PALM. And this wasn't a speech, where one could see using index cards to keep on pace. She was asked a question in an interview and couldn't answer it without looking bullet at points on her hand. And this just moments after she dissed Obama for being a "charismatic guy with a teleprompter".
