  1. Hello

    Hello

    Im not hoping for anything..... i lost hope in the process longgggg before you.... I have absolutely no hope in any kind of significant change..... you seem too oblivious to realise that....but feel free to call me names, not only do i welcome it, i strongly encourage it.

    Apparently this concept is lost on you.

    I nominate RANGEROVER, the arbiter of "hope" to teach us how good things will be from here on in under Obama, and the even more mentally defunct congressman who serve him.

    About your hope (or lack thereof), Hello, I've noted that over several of your posts. I don't think it's founded. History hasn't "stopped", and it does show us that periodically the slaves rise up and chop the heads off the masters. It will happen again.

  3. LOL!! Ahh yes, the revolution of the proletariat... the perpetually unfulfilled Marxist prophecy. The marxist equivalent of the rapture. Which, just like in Christian fundamentalism said rapture will lead to a period of utopia. Both indoctrinated cults... LOL!! Gee this wasn't predictable from Ricter...

  4. Thinking Palin can solve the problem is almost as absurd as re-electing Barney Frank to "reform wall street'. Sadly, Barney will get re-elected, and it looks more and more like Palin will actually run for President. And people ask me why I'm so pessimistic. Can a nation this stupid endure? I think not!

  5. Shes running .She has a shot to win many of the early primary states and that will make it harder for more qualified candidates.Money that could be donated to more qualified candidates will go to her.Other candidates will waste resources fighting her.She is a dam good attack dog and will damage other candidates with her attacks.


    After losing the primary she might go third party and completely destroy any chance for the GOP


    I don't like the current extremist GOP and will vote for her in the GOP primary in the hopes she gets the nomination .Maybe by 2016 the GOP will come to their senses

    Karl Rove is probably the smartest man in politics.He warned Delaware about O'Donnell and they have lost a seat that Republican Mike Castle would have won.Rove is warning the GOP about Sarah now,they better listen to him

  6. Sarah Palin for president? It's possible, she says.


    Sarah Palin says if nobody else is up to the job, she could run for president. But her political clout is on the line in Alaska with the flagging US Senate campaign of tea party favorite Joe Miller.

    Is Sarah Palin just toying with us about running for president in 2012? Or did she really mean it when she told "Entertainment Tonight" she could run.

    Interviewed at her home in Wasilla, Alaska, for a segment to be broadcast Thursday evening, Ms. Palin told the show's Mary Hart:

    “I think, still, it is too early for anybody to get out there declaring what their intentions are. For me, Mary, it’s going to entail a discussion with my family, a real close look at the lay of the land, and to consider whether there are those with that common sense, conservative, pro-Constitution passion – whether there are any candidates out there who can do the job.”

    But then she added, “If there’s nobody else to do it, then of course I would believe that we should do this.” (It was unclear whether she was using the collective “we,” the editorial “we,” or the royal “we.”)



    No reaction yet from Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Tim Pawlenty, Newt Gingrich, Mitch Daniels, Jim DeMint, Mike Pence, or the other Republicans frequently mentioned in the same sentence as “2012.”

    One who has reacted to the notion of a “Palin for President” campaign is veteran Republican political operative and megafundraiser for this year’s midterm elections is Karl Rove – her fellow Fox News analyst.

    Mr. Rove told the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph that Palin lacked the "gravitas" to be president in 2012, presumably referring to her main activities – giving well-paid speeches to the party faithful, tweeting 140-character policy pronouncements without elaboration, and having her own reality show titled “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.”



    “Appearing on your own reality show on the Discovery Channel, I am not certain how that fits in the American calculus of ‘that helps me see you in the Oval Office,’ ” Rove told the Telegraph. (For the record, the show is actually on TLC, which is owned by the Discovery Channel.)

    But these days, it’s uncertain whether “gravitas” – at least as defined by the political establishment – is what voters are looking for. If it’s traditional “gravitas” (of the left or the right), then many tea partyers are having none of it.

    Speaking of which, Palin’s political clout is on the line in her home state right now with the flagging US Senate campaign of tea party favorite (and Palin endorsee) Joe Miller.

    Under court order this week, Mr. Miller had to admit that he “lied about what I was doing” (as he wrote in a 2008 e-mail) in inappropriately using government computers when he worked as a part-time lawyer in the Fairbanks North Star Borough.

    Miller beat incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the Republican primary, and until recently he had been neck-and-neck with Senator Murkowski as Democrat Scott McAdams was relegated to third place behind the two front-runners. But a new poll of 500 likely voters paid for by a labor union and released Thursday has Miller lagging behind at 23 percent with 29 percent for Mr. McAdams and 34 percent for "write in candidate" – presumably Murkowski.

    There’s never been any love lost between Palin and Murkowski, so Alaska’s US Senate race is a bit of grudge match between the two.

    At a rally Thursday night in Anchorage, Palin will be trying to generate support for the tea party favorite. Later, there’ll be time to think about 2012.

    Your desperation is palpable.

    You're going to be ok, just take deep breaths and try not to freak out. By this time next week the dust will have settle and it will be all over.

  9. Hello

    Hello

    The fact that the worst recession since the great depression didnt change anything has made me realise the only way out is going to be when these assholes completely bankrupt the U.S.

    Look at the candidates running right now/in office right now, we probably have the biggest bunch of lunatics we have ever had, and this is coming right after an anti government move when most people hate all of these guys.

    The only politician i have any respect for anymore as a conservative is Chris Christie.
