Rush Limbaugh predicted today that Barack Obama will be a one term president.
Rush also told Chris Wallce that, “Yes, she’s ready to be president.”
From FOX News Sunday:
Chris Wallace: Sarah Palin. You say that you admire her backbone. Do you really think she’s ready to be president?
Rush Limbaugh: Well, yes I do. One thing I do not do is follow conventional wisdom. And the conventional wisdom is that Sarah Palin is not smart enough. She needs to bone up on the issues. She’s a little unsophisticated. Alaska, where’s that? She doesn’t have the pedigree.
She’s the only thing that provided a spark for the Republican Party. This is not an endorsement but I do have profound respect for Sarah Palin. There are not many politicians who’ve been through what she’s been put through and still able to smile and be ebullient and upbeat. I mean this woman I think she’s pretty tough.
The Right Scoop has the full interview posted.

“Gravitas” – “experience” etc. seem to pop up as requirements only for the Right. The Dhimmis get away without such needs, even if they have none (BHO) or show themselves to be wrong, blowhards, plagiarists and jerks (Biden). It is a question that once asked should be met with a query as to why impose this standard on someone who has demonstrated executive ability and honesty as well as anyone who has come down the pike.

Being an Alaska Conservative Republican, I can tell you this: Palin talks like Ronald Reagan, BS’s like Bill Clinton and Governs like Jimmy Carter. She quit because she was in so far over her head, she couldn’t take it anymore. Rush, WAKE UP!!!

Is that you, Joe Stool?
Explain in 5,000 words or less what Obama has done to gain experience and be capable of being president.
First off why cannot he make public his birth certificate? . . . No, not b/c ‘birthers’ are nuts. Try another stupidity.
And, about those straight A’s in all the schools he ever attended. Why can’t he air his transcripts? B/c he don’t want to make us working stiffs feel inadequate?????

I am going to say one phrase: Palin Democrat.
No other GOP-candidate has as large a group of ready Democratic supporters as Palin, at the present time.
I do not trust anyone who says the are “concerned about a Palin nomination” as being really behind a Republican win. It is as laughable as Katie Couric trying to give the GOP-pointers recently.
And for those of you that think your insults about Palin are either clever or witty, you merely underscore the fact she represents a genuine threat — on the order of Reagan and the 1994 Congressional elections. Insult away. The people who feel as I do are engaged, energized, and not likely to stop anytime soon.

They think life will improve once they’ve compltede the destruction of the private sector economy.
Obama and his drooling supporters are losers and convinced that the US is racist and unjust and must be destroyed.
Even an idiot can destroy the US economy.
That makes Sarah more qualified to be PREZ than the hate-filled half-black opportunist and his kitchen commies.

I really hope she doesn’t try it. I personally like Palin, but I don’t think she can win. If she runs, she’ll drive potential conservative votes to the dems, or away from the republican candidate (assuming she’d have to run 3rd party). I think she performs a greater service by keeping up what she’s doing now — energizing people and putting her support behind other candidates.

Ronald Reagan predicted that the first woman president will be a republican. His prediction still makes good sense today.
There are only two women republicans on that radar screen, Condi Rice and Sarah Palin.
With the possible exception of Hillary Clinton, there are NO women democrats approaching consideration and Hillary has been effectively neutralized by Obama. Maybe she’ll get the last laugh.
Regardless of what female or male politician is electable in 2012, the campaign theme for the entire country needs to be “Anyone but Obama”.
November 1st, 2009 | 11:21 am | #21
Palin is waaaay more ready than who we have in office now. But that’s a pretty low expectation. Still, I would like anyone to name ANY OTHER politician- left or right- who has shown ‘Presidential timber’.
November 1st, 2009 | 11:22 am | #22
Doesn’t really matter. Palin will be outed as shallow and uninformed very early in the debates. How many of you know she raised taxes in Alaska. Oil revenue funds nearly 90% of Alaska’s budget and she raised taxes on the producers and Alaska is now the highest taxed oil and gas province on the planet. Now the producers are going to Federal lands and places like Australia. But she seems real nice.
November 1st, 2009 | 11:24 am | #23
scratcher,
Right now the only ones who support Obamao and the Corruptocrats are their “choir” of radical leftists, union/ACORN thugs, race warriors and their drool cupped Obamao worshiping cultist Orcs and Trolls.
Already Obamao is starting to lose the radical left because he isn’t moving fast enough for their tastes. After the non government union members see how much they are going to have to pay in taxes for their “Hope and Change(TM)” (despite the sweetheart deals they are getting from Obamao) and they start to lose their jobs because businesses are either going to fold or move overseas they too will become disenchanted with their messiah.
Now, as to the subject of GP’s post….
I remember hearing the same things being said about Sarah Palin now being said about Ronald Reagan back in the 1970’s, too. With the same levels of vitriol and hatred and out of the same “suspects”* I might add.
*The MSM, Hollywood “celebrities”, academia and the rest of left.

“You see Obamao as a welfare check.”
what in the world makes you think I’m on welfare? I, personally, don’t even know anyone on welfare.
Also, has anyone’s taxes actually increased since Obama was elected? Mine haven’t.
November 1st, 2009 | 11:30 am | #25
Palin has guts and smarts, is tough and is a woman of the people. She can learn what she doesn’t know, and even ignorant she could govern better than The Arrogant Marxist.
She’s done a splendid job leading the party from her Facebook page. She’s done far more good than Newt, Huck, Steele and Mitt, particularly concerning NY23. Thus far her post-’08 career strategy has been excellent.
The one practical skill she is horrendous at is the interview. She really needs to dig in and get tough on the one-to-one basis. I think getting McCain’s limitations off her back will automatically help immensely. Whether it’s enough I don’t know.
I do know that this party needs leaders who understand the gravity of the internal threat to our nation and its people, and I know that there are many people who this time are really ready to leave the Republican Party on a museum shelf if it doesn’t quickly get serious about addressing that threat.

Look where Reagan got us. The entire manufacturing industry has left America. He deregulated and let the corporations have no allegiance to America… only to their shareholders. That’s called “corporate welfare”. The only kind of welfare that you people will happily bend over for and accept.

Palin sure does seem gutsy. So did Bush… look where he took us.
And, I still don’t understand what you people find as “arrogant” about Obama? I can understand disagreeing with his policies, but “arrogance”? He didn’t ask for the Nobel… in fact, he even said in his speech following that he didn’t deserve it. He seems like a very humble guy to me. Focused and with leadership qualities, but come on… he is The PRESIDENT.
November 1st, 2009 | 11:41 am | #30
Joe,
You wouldn’t recognize humility if it fell on you and identified itself!
November 1st, 2009 | 11:43 am | #31
I don’t know how anyone could possibly miss the arrogance. But personality problems are not the issue. A president who wants government control of the auto industry, banks, and health care is a president who needs to be shown the door.
And the idea that the manufacturing industry has left America because of Reagan is just absurd.
Businesses leave America when government is hostile toward business. Do you really think Obama’s outspoken hostility toward the corporate world will make them more likely to stay?
November 1st, 2009 | 11:44 am | #32
Paul B. you are mostly right. Palin IS good for the movement, good for the party and has done far more than Newt, et al. It is when she has to perform the act of actually governing is when everything comes crashing down.
November 1st, 2009 | 11:48 am | #33
There is no way that as a conservative southern woman I would support Palin. There is multiple better women in the Republican party that are much more qualified without the drama attached to them. Condi Rice is one, but then so again is Michele Bachmann, Liz Cheney, & so on. Every one of them is as tough as Palin pretends to be & more impressive they are smart. Palin bots want to blame McCain staff that is fine, some blame her interview-pardon me if she couldn’t outsmart a nimwit like Couric how is she going to outsmart Chavez? Or was she naive enough to not know that Couric was enemy? Either way does not bode well. She quit as Governor-the excuses she gave doesn’t fly. Palin supports tend to gloss over all the flaws & are unrealistic, she can not win a national election. I live in a red state & my guess is that it would go blue. It is critical to this nation that anyone but Obama win the election. No one that was involved last time can win. Everyone of them have too much baggage-including Newt-who is desperate to be nominated. Huck is too socially liberal-read his record in ARK, Mitt is a flip flopper-study his stand on abortion & illegals-not to mention failed healthcare (too bad obama won’t learn from that), Fred Thompson (who I loved & supported in primaries)just isn’t motivated enough, the rest are nothing. Right now Tim Pawlenty & Michele Bachmann look the best in my view-1-no one here talks negative about them but sees them in positive light, 2-they both have solid conservative records, 3-both are nationally known, 4-both have been through very tough elections in past & Dems haven’t been able to smear with dirt or get catty reactions from either-they have kept their dignity.

has virtually closed off any OCS development should be a bigger issue. Or the fact that he has
stripped both the F-22 and F-35 from local bases
should be a concern. or this disastrously unethical and immoral health care bill, proceeds

I like Sarah Palin, but, she best serves as a grassroots organizer. Sorry, but, she simply lacks the gravitas and experience to be President. Her family issues are a distraction. And walking away from a governorship wasn’t smart. We are learning the hard way that very lesson now. She’s so yesterday, that election came, went and was lost. Why revisit it? It’s time to move on.
We are three years away from the next presidential election, surely we can find fresh new conservative faces. The issues three years from now are going to more compelling and maybe of a different priority.
November 1st, 2009 | 11:57 am | #38
If you look at the jobs she has held ,two terms
on city council ,two terms as mayor ,Governor
and has run a family owned business, she has
more executive experience than our current
President.
He was a community organizer that was in his
first term that decided he wanted to be President.
Her previous jobs qualify her for the job,but
whether or not she is the best choice we will
have to wait and see.

Sarah Palin on 10 Major Issues
[The myth about Sarah Palin is that she's a 44-year-old mystery woman. The truth is, the information about where she stands on major issues is out there -- you just have to look for it. Recent revelations about Palin's mentally-challenged son and her daughter's pregnancy has sent the media into a frenzy regarding her views on abortion (she's pro-life) and teen pregnancy (she opposes federal funding of sex-education in high school) and by now, they're very well known. Here's a compilation of information on her positions about other major issues that are important to conservatives and voters at large.]

The election is three years away. Why don’t we see how she performs, what her book is like before we jump to conclusions. She was broadsided by a huge, coordinated attack backed by millions of dollars. Rush makes a good point regarding her hard nose. She does energize people. I think the more she stays in view and stands by the ideas of small and fiscally responsible govt the better she will do. Now our job is to “vet her”. Do the research now and make your own judgement rather than just smear her.

So many “Concerned” Conservatives on Palin. She has more gravitas than our so called male candidates. Show me the people in Alaska that disapprove of the way she governed.
She endorsed Hoffman on principle. She has ultimately more Reagan Democrat support, than even the Dems want to admit. How many of these things are a minus? Can’t support Sarah? Why? I think the reason is you listen to the mainstream media a tad too much.

Joe, what if the fetus is female? What about women’s rights then? And before you recant a timeline of fetal devolpment to me, realize that advocating the death of a vulnerable life form not only leaves you morally bankrupt, but defeats the primary function of life itself, procreation. This is why so people the left mock consider abortion used as birth control a sin.

no one is pro war (except for our Islamist enemies)..
Is It Right to Fight?
[One other point, if everyone was a pacifist except the evil and lawbreakers of the world, then the world would be run by evil dictators or our society would be anarchy.
Pacifism in its fullest sense is untenable in the sinful world in which we live.
[snip]
The subject “Is it right to fight?” is a difficult issue because it makes us face the awful issues of a suppressive dictatorship, evil aggression, killing and death on the one hand and the “necessary evil” of war to stop it. Could this be the reason that General Robert E. Lee at the Battle of Fredericksburg said, “It is well that war is so terrible—we should grow too fond of it.” The just war position, in the writer’s opinion, fits best with the Scriptural evidence.
Remember, it is possible to love your enemies and use force against him. The principle that love is embraced in laws of justice helps us see that loving one’s enemy is to make sure that justice prevails. In doing so, the Christian is also demonstrating “love for the ones his enemy has hurt.”]
“On Moral Equivalency and Cold War History”
Ethics & International Affairs, Volume 10 (1996)
[Where does that leave us, though, with the new evidence we have about the victims of Stalin and Mao Zedong? One recent but reliable estimate suggests that Stalin's domestic victims alone - when one totals not only the figures for the purges but also for the collectivization of agriculture and the famine that resulted from it - numbered about twenty million dead. This does not count the additional acknowledged twenty-seven million Soviet citizens who died as a result of World War II. But this is not the worst of it. Estimates of those who died in one single episode - the Chinese famine produced by Mao's ill-conceived Great Leap Forward from 1958 to 1961 - now come to some thirty million, thereby qualifying the Chairman (whose image was once a popular adornment for t-shirts and dormitory wall posters in the West) as perhaps the greatest mass murderer of all time.
[snip]
Why didn’t the United States exploit its advantage to keep the Soviet Union from developing its own bomb? Or to avoid near-defeat in Korea? These are complicated questions, but one of the answers that comes up, when one looks at what American officials said to each other, is the conviction that a democracy could only use such a weapon as a last resort, and in self-defense.
But that in turn raises another interesting question of comparative morality: would an authoritarian system – one based on an ideology that explicitly justified any means necessary to achieve its ends, one that employed terror as a method of government, and one as casual about the loss of human life as were Stalin’s and Mao’s – have shown similar restraint had it got the bomb first?
[snip]
We need to be careful about the methodological metaphors we keep in our minds. Too much of Cold War history was written as if its major contenders were indeed featureless billiard balls, whose internal composition and character didn’t much matter. In retrospect, apples and oranges might have been the better metaphor: at least it would have allowed for irregularity, asymmetry, and the possibility of internal rot.]
same holds true today more than ever..
Death by Government
excerpt:
[How can we understand all this killing by communists? It is the marriage of an absolutist ideology with the absolute power. Communists believed that they knew the truth, absolutely. They believed that they knew through Marxism what would bring about the greatest human welfare and happiness. And they believed that power, the dictatorship of the proletariat, must be used to tear down the old feudal or capitalist order and rebuild society and culture to realize this utopia. Nothing must stand in the way of its achievement. Government--the Communist Party--was thus above any law. All institutions, cultural norms, traditions, and sentiments were expendable. And the people were as though lumber and bricks, to be used in building the new world.
Constructing this utopia was seen as though a war on poverty, exploitation, imperialism, and inequality. And for the greater good, as in a real war, people are killed. And thus this war for the communist utopia had its necessary enemy casualties, the clergy, bourgeoisie, capitalists, wreckers, counterrevolutionaries, rightists, tyrants, rich, landlords, and noncombatants that unfortunately got caught in the battle. In a war millions may die, but the cause may be well justified, as in the defeat of Hitler and an utterly racist Nazism. And to many communists, the cause of a communist utopia was such as to justify all the deaths. The irony of this is that communism in practice, even after decades of total control, did not improve the lot of the average person, but usually made their living conditions worse than before the revolution. It is not by chance that the greatest famines have occurred within the Soviet Union (about 5,000,000 dead during 1921-23 and 7,000,000 from 1932-3) and communist China (about 27,000,000 dead from 1959-61). In total almost 55,000,000 people died in various communist famines and associated diseases, a little over 10,000,000 of them from democidal famine. This is as though the total population of Turkey, Iran, or Thailand had been completely wiped out. And that something like 35,000,000 people fled communist countries as refugees, as though the countries of Argentina or Columbia had been totally emptied of all their people, was an unparalleled vote against the utopian pretensions of Marxism-Leninism.
But communists could not be wrong. After all, their knowledge was scientific, based on historical materialism, an understanding of the dialectical process in nature and human society, and a materialist (and thus realistic) view of nature. Marx has shown empirically where society has been and why, and he and his interpreters proved that it was destined for a communist end. No one could prevent this, but only stand in the way and delay it at the cost of more human misery. Those who disagreed with this world view and even with some of the proper interpretations of Marx and Lenin were, without a scintilla of doubt, wrong. After all, did not Marx or Lenin or Stalin or Mao say that. . . . In other words, communism was like a fanatical religion. It had its revealed text and chief interpreters. It had its priests and their ritualistic prose with all the answers. It had a heaven, and the proper behavior to reach it. It had its appeal to faith. And it had its crusade against nonbelievers.
What made this secular religion so utterly lethal was its seizure of all the state's instrument of force and coercion and their immediate use to destroy or control all independent sources of power, such as the church, the professions, private businesses, schools, and, of course, the family.]

No, Joe. Palin doesn’t bother you in the least. Especially when you hear a Democrat voted for her. (#41, #42).

I support Obama because who else would I support?
I can see how people could have deluded themselves and supported Obama in 2008, but in late 2009 there’s no excuse whatsoever. Every single Obama policy is failing or has failed, which was predicted. The deficit has quadrupled with nothing to show for it, and now the same guy who couldn’t run the $3 billion Cash for Clunkers program wants to run one sixth of the economy.
He chose General McChrystal, came up with a new strategy for Afghanistan, and now refuses to listen to the general he chose or implement the strategy he himself helped originate.
Obama has destroyed our alliances with Britain, France, and India, which will cost us dearly in terms of national security. He’s also made sure that neither Iran nor Russia don’t fear us in the slightest.
The man is terminally incompetent. Simply hoping that his policies will somehow magically work is infantile and pitiful.

Yeah, bg, seven out CNN’s remaining ten viewers don’t think Palin is experienced enough for the presidency. And all seven of them watch only CNN news, which is the source from which they based their opinion of Palin.

Do Christians call people libtards? Do Christians insult others and demonize people they disagree with? Do Christians make assumptions about people based on one post? For example, I’ve seen many times here the implied judgment that Obama Supporter=Welfare Recipient. I don’t see the love of Christ anywhere on this blog.

Well, apparently some Christians do those things. The better question would be is it Christian or Christ-like to do those things. No one here is perfect…especially the lefturds.

by Dewey Whetsell
The last 45 of my 66 years I’ve spent in a commercial fishing town in Alaska. I understand Alaska politics but never understood national politics well until this last year. Here’s the breaking point: Neither side of the Palin controversy gets it…It’s not about persona, style, rhetoric, it’s about doing things. Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I’m about to mention here.
1- Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as soon as Palin took the Governor’s office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republican’s “Corrupt Bastards Club” (CBC) and sent them packing. Many of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump suits. The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti and singing “la la la la” (well, you know how they are). Name another governor in this country that has ever done anything similar. But while you’re thinking, I’ll continue.
2- Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So, she constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called “ACES”. Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them “don’t let the door hit you in the stern on your way out.” They stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich. Of course the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country that has done anything similar.
The rest is here – and it’s interesting:

Joe: Whatever you may think of my intelligence level, the fact is I and many other registered Democrats like Palin. While it is too early to support anyone specifically for the nomination, I admire the former Governor of Alaska deeply.
There are many of us Democrats who are now involved in the citizens action groups (i.e., “Tea Party/Tax Revolt efforts), are learning more about some of the founding Democrats. Here is a quote from Thomas Jefferson for you to consider (his first Inaugural Address):
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned – this is the sum of good government.

It seems a lot of people from different walks of life can still recognize a genuine leader when they come across her. I am a registered Democrat and voted for Sarah in 2008. She walks the same life as myself only in higher profile.
Go Sarah!

How about we all wait another year or two and then ask the “is she ready to be President” question again?
I mean, come on, it’s not even 2010 yet, and we’re talking about 2012.

Whether Obama is merely an incompetent, or something more sinister, we’re in a world of hurt right now with this administration.
It seems we’re battling for our very survival every day.
That explains alot of the strong comments on these threads. These commenters – some Christians, others not – are passionate about right versus wrong. Both are able to discern the true evil. Something the Democrat leadership seems to care little about.
There’s a blindness, still, that many Americans have to the deceptive practices of the Left. They’ve overtaken and corrupted the Democrat party. It’s beyond comprehension that so much has gone unchallenged. (Voter fraud come to mind.)
We can’t survive as a nation if this continues.
I would hope that Democrats with respect for integrity and honesty will abandon their party until they clean house. Separate yourselves from anyone, anything, that isn’t upright.
Choose to be led by those who’ve been shown to have character. More likely than not, their positions on issues will be ones you’ll share – or if not, ones you can comfortably live with.

a bell went off while i was reading your post..
if not for the numerous Democrats noting the difference in the Democratic party and voting for Bush in 04, not to mention recent turnings against the Obama et al administration (ironically, the way the DNC et al treated Hillary was a major turning point pre O, and post O is even more obvious)..
perhaps the right wouldn’t have woken up as much as they have.. having
been on the inside of the Democratic party (so to speak) i unfortunately,
still don’t feel it’s fast enough..
also, w/o a doubt.. there certain Democratic politicians who can smile
in your face & stab you in the back with absolute pride.. Obama aces in
that category, which is why he was ’s’elected..

If you don’t know by now that the couric tape of Palin was hacked and edited so badly, then you need to go somewhere and kill yourself. Do not ever vote again. Compare the unedited version to the edited version and see a world of difference. McCains manager was in cahoots and paid off by b hussein o to mismanage…pick a clue?
Furthermore, though I am unaffiliated now, I spent 37 years voting as a Democrat. Never voted for Bush, Reagan or any other Republican. ‘Just picked the person with the (d) letter after their name-no questions asked. Never again. You now have to pass the smell test with me to get my vote. And I can see through opies bullshut and him hating American patriots AND WANTING AMERICA TO FAIL.
OVER 18 million people who voted for THE WINNER, Hillary, are flat out disgusted with opie hussein blowmymama and a large portion are ready to vote for Palin. Hillary won the bluest of blue states Massachusetts by a landslide so let that be your gauge to what’s to come. A large portion of these voters are supporting Palin and the Republic of America.
Tea parties were started by these very people!! Don’t forget it. We asked Republicans to come together and join us in non-partisanship and to fight for our country. We warned you all before you realized how bad Barfy Hussein really is. It took a while for you to catch on but now you want the credit. We helped the repub party rebound and do not forget it. Be nice to your fiscal CONSERVATIVE Dem friends or they will pull the current Republican support right out from your fragile asses and sit this out like you did to Mac and Sarah.
Damned progressives (left of left) brought this creep B Hussein O on us.
Now I’m picking the person who makes sense to me and that’s Sarah Palin. I trust her and I do not trust the thug in chief. I voted for her and can’t wait to vote for her again. I know of tons of disenfanchised dems who will vote for Sarah for the things she stands for. I’m pro-life, pro capitalism and I know she is ready to lead this country better than anyone can. I know it. I have too many reasons to vote for her too many to list here. She is more than competent. Her resume is LARGE. There is no sheep skin that can upstage experience and common sense, something the indoctrinated progressives fail to see of course.
NOPE: Pawlenty won’t get the votes. It’ll be a travesty…Bachmann…well she is on the marxist/progressive party bosses hit list like Palin is..she’ll cave..Palin won’t. And she doesn’t have the resume that Palin has although she has equal the integrity.
Palin: all around patriot, multi-talented, and trust-worthy to Americans. 4 words for the obots…She has an accent…so what? She can see Russia from parts of Alaska because it’s under 10 mile distance..so what? Why mince words and twist things? FEAR. :lol:
Hell even “Chris tingle up my leg” likes Palin and admitted (mumbled) it on his show last week saying she has what it takes…
SCARED MUCH? Obots talk just like barfy hussein..it’s all a crock of shut.
Caaaaaaaaannnn’t wait to vote for her AGAIN!
PAYBACKS A BATCH.
bite it.
Palin goes to NY to throw her support behind a candidate and within 24 hours the country (both dems and repubs) funnels money into his coffers and the remainder of the ‘wanna be’ Republican “might be candidates” are running behind her and following what’s she’s doing and doing the same thing. BITE IT I said…
She can and will win. Say it before you go to sleep. Say it when you doubt it. Try and learn something new. Altogether now…She can AND SHE WILL……..YES SHE CAN!

I never understood the “arrogrance” charge from conservatives, either. I’ve just never seen it.

Joe, don’t waste your time using logic and reason with these conservofacists. President, and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Obama (boy that just rolls off the tongue, don’t it?) could visit each one of these wingnut hypocrites and show them his birth certificate and they wouldn’t believe it. They don’t want to believe it. They’d rather believe that george bush is a tough texan, who went to elite Ivy League colleges, (and Andover Prep) and who is afraid of horses was a war hero when he didn’t even earn an honorable discharge from the Air National Guard. Want to argue that point wingnuts, produce the document.

Since 1969, we’ve had a Republican president for all but 13 years. Do the math. If the country is as screwed up as many of you say it is, then the Republicans deserve the lion’s share of the blame for having done so. Where the Republicans went wrong is that they sold out to the Religious Right; guys like William Buckley need no longer apply… I wonder if they’d even accept Reagan if he came along now, given that he was not a practicing Christian! You crow about the Democrat’s litmus tests, but the Republicans have them now, too, and it’s to the detriment of the party.

This man has been wrong on every electoral prediction he’s made over the last few years. The only people who care what he says are groveling and spineless Republicans who need the wingnut base vote. When was the last time any Republican with a base that went beyond the usual sexist, racist, homophobic, Christian evangelical, anti-abortion wingnuts bother talking to this man? Can you see Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Mike Castle, Ben Bernanke or Secretary Gates even giving this fat bloviating pig the time of day? No.
