Original article: Sarah Palin is not bitter

@bigguns

You are only partially correct. Don't forget, although it took a half a dozen schools and as many states, Sarah Palin does have a college degree (in theory, anyway.)

An elitist is anyone who doesn't tow the Republican party line, support the war in Iraq, think Jesus is coming soon and hate gays while professing they don't.

Elitists are also anyone who thinks, even if they disagree with each other. (Heck, look at this board. Half the time the so called liberals are throwing stones at one another.)

Elitists are non-robots. Eltitists supported Hillary or Obama or Edwards and fought like cats and dogs but in the end came together to support Obama. Elitists have been pissed off since Bush trashed the country after 9/11. Elitists may or may not believe in some kind of higher being, but those that do believe in a higher being generally believe in that 'love thy neighbor' thing. So do those who don't believe in any god.

Elitists were mad at their own government because they abandoned those poor souls in New Orleans.

Some elitists are poor and/or uneducated themselves.

Elitists know a power hungry know nothing idiot when they see it.

Elitists all despise liars like Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and Dick Cheney.

So, rock on elitists. You got a lot of company, but Sarah Palin knows you aren't a real American. And she hates your guts.

Uh...

"I think media should be abolished from, you know, reporting."

So, what is Joe trying to do, be a target?

Hmm. Wonder what ole Joe would say if someone wanted to, you know, mess with that second amendment.

Original article: Quote of the day

Thank you

As someone who lives and works among the toughest of the Republicans in a hard core red state, this article made my day.

Thank you. It is nice to know the brain washing eventually ends. I knew it, I can smell it, I can sense it, it is slowly coming. Even my hard core red neck Republican relatives are beginning to believe the 'black dude is cool.'

Wow. There is hope.

This proves it

34% of the country is just plain stupid. OK, maybe they don't despise him, but APPROVE of his work? Even on the best days the guy is a C- President.

Judie Brown

Why isn't she boycotting everything from China where they forced women to have abortions? (EECK!!! She would have to give up Wal-Mart!)

You know she is also a member of some evangelical church.

Typical hypocrite from the GOP.

And we thought the village idiot had just left for Midland TX. Oh, well maybe Chris Wallace just wants that position.

Something happened

A friend of mine was stuck in that group. She had saved for a year for to attend this event--just in case Obama won-- had worked her tail off for Obama's campaign and was THRILLED when she and her spouse got tickets.

She called me from the tunnel, crying, upset and so disappointed. They couldn't move forward, they couldn't move backward. She missed the whole thing.

With a city full of police and security personnel, she said that they did not start checking people for entrance until 8:00AM. She got there before 6:00 and there was already a crowd.

However, she did say a couple of young people got up and started leading the group in songs and games. It passed the time in the cold tunnel, with no restrooms, or water, where a bunch of heart broken people missed the historic event of their lifetimes.

Have some pity. It could have been you.

Original article: But where was the Bible?

Mean People

In a store, I heard an older lady--wearing a diamond cross around her neck-- go on and on about how Obama wasn't President because of the oath HE purposely screwed up so he would not be held to laws and could do what he wanted. I just said, "Do they teach you to hate Democrats and black people at your church?" She was speechless. I just walked away.

The right wing nuts are sickening, just damn sickening rude people who don't bother to read that Bible they are all so supposedly worried about.

They also don't read the constitution or they would know, starting with their precious Ronnie Ray-gun, the oath has been changed to include "So help me God."

By their reasoning, Jimmy Carter should still be President because every President since has said: "So help me God" at the end of the oath.

Now can we just frickin' move on?

Original article: Palin to ink book deal

Who will buy the book?

This reminds me of the South Park episode where a couple of the boys want to be rock stars, but can't get a contract. So, they start singing regular rock and love songs and insert the word 'Jesus' for a lover's name. Of course, the obviously sexual songs become hits in the Christian music world because the songs mention Jesus.

Expect any book Sarah writes to be the same. It will be highly plagiarized from some other book with 'Jesus' inserted all over the place, a best seller at Christian book stores.

Of course, Sarah won't write any of it. Some ghost writer will. Sarah can't. Books are hard work. Joe the plumber can only be mentioned once. It will sell swell in real America. You betcha!

And, yes, it will make mean girl Sarah filthy rich.

Original article: Kirsten Gillibrand. Really?

Blue dogs

A Democratic Congressman from my state is one of the dreaded blue dogs. He might as well be a Republican.

Let's just hope this woman is better in the Senate. If not, she needs to remember she is from a very, very blue state.

Primaries can be hell. And the whole country will be watching. Ask Lieberman.

I am quite Keith Olberman will be thrilled to know he is not the least bit biased, he is a true professional journalist.
