The dominatrix

Sarah Palin is trying to seduce independent voters. But she comes across like a whip-wielding mistress who wants to discipline a naughty America.

    I want to talk about Obama

    I know we are supposed to stay on-topic but what are we conservatives to do when we want to talk about Obama and all Salon's columists will address is Sarah Palin.

    I love Sarah Palin and I hardly know her! Many of you hardly know her and you hate her--hmmm, I guess you are not your father's and mother's liberals. But if you would like to love her too, or at least hate her a bit less, go to Newsweek's website and see the fact checking they have done on her. Turns out that many of those horror stories about her stem from an email written by someone who admittedly hates her and who--in their DanRatheresque way, MSM journalists like Soledad O'brien and others took and spread as fact--are not true.

    But, please, Salon, lets talk about Obama and why he is so well-qualified to be Prez while John and Sarah are not. And lets talk about Obama's concession that the surge worked (he was wrong) and the Dem Congress's decision that maybe we should drill (they were wrong) and Biden's view that life begins at conception but its still okay to take that life and, well, you know, ISSUES!

    Conservatives want to discuss issues and the left just puts pictures of accomplished female politicians (remember she is a governor) in dominatrix clothing. Imagine what the MSM would do if National Review did the same with a pic of Michigan's atractive Dem Guv Granholm.

    As many thoughtful liberals who post here are beginning to realize, the left is losing it--in more ways than one.
