“It was used in the context of contrast her staunch view about religion and family. In THAT context, I understand its usage.”

“You reply as if a 'fan' of hers. The narcissism tied to her ignorance is something that is completely and utterly shocking and condescending, as it is seemingly without recourse..for Palin. Because of the celebrity obsession mixed with the viral A.D.D. of our current media, someone like Palin is allowed to exist in a perpetual vacuum of fame.

I am not personally disturbed by Palin, as I am disturbed greatly that it is demonstrative how incredibly dull-minded the American populace is in there fascination with her.

The complete absence of intellectual credibility exhibited by her is embraced by the public, says quite a bit about America itself.”

“Outstanding analysis!”

“'Now, let me say that I have always liked McCain. I don't agree with him on everything, to say the least, but I think he is a good man in a very flawed system.'

'her poisonous brand of charisma will continue to infect Republicans, meaning that all of national politics will continue to be infected with a vicious virus of dishonest, know-nothing hyper-partisanship.'

This the most honest and balance article about Sarah Palin and the Republicans I have read: without the reactive name-calling and counter-vitriol one comes to expect from both 'left' and 'right' here on HuffPo. I, too, like McCain, but found that the Presidential Candidate version of him was absolutely abhorrent.

Although rather watered down in its final version, the McCain-Feingold Act that passed was the only attempt beyond rhetoric to place limits on Campaign Finance and corporate malfeasance in regards to policy.

It is a VERY flawed system, indeed: one which Obama is currently struggling with at present. How can one change something completely corrupt when you haven't the same leverage of influence and power as the very system your trying to change?

Great article.”

“..As a male, I find that an exceptional point. And a very good argument to be made.”

“'...But Palin could use some intellectual sparks. '

..As the 'match' isn't exactly 'lit', is it?”

“I have also read Rand, it is in that vein, to be certain.”

“I am not a fan of Michael Jackson, but oddly enough I have gotten to 'know' Mike posthumiously. I am some years older than you, and I remember when 'Thriller' debuted in January 1984. I do remember 'Can You Feel It' , one of the last tracks Mike did with his brothers. Those songs were staples for their continous airplay and visual dynamics that accompanied them, hence my experience with his music was admittedly passive.

At the moment I discovered he died, I was right here on Huffington Post doing my usual thing. I even marked it in my profile. That evening, upon a routine run to the store, during a conversation with my wife on my cell phone, I discovered the power on my block in Hollywood (about 5 miles away from where he passed) went out mysteriuosly. As soon as I pulled up to the electronic entry gate to my apartment, the power suddenly came on and...”

“Yes.”

“To he!! with patience:

'Obama, although he does to appear be sincere, he is too conciliatory towards Corporate want' -Ralph Nader

Here's another reason for some real impatience:

'Had Greenspan not supported in 1999 Congress's repeal of the Glass Steagall Act, which separated investment from commercial banking, we wouldn't be in the soup we're in to begin with.' -Robert Reich (in above article)

Like I have been screaming for months...”

“Fantastic points. This must be viewed with more substance with the powers that be (companies), instead of going for 'easy money'. Home-grown talent wins the day.”

“Attention: 'Democrats' and 'Republicans'

I am planning to see this film, because I pray it addresses the following on some level..

The fascism that has taken since 1946 to build was helped by the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, paving the way for our rights as humans to be summarily sacrificed for total dominance in revenue and territory. It's corporate fascism that is your enemy..not 'Democrats' or 'Republicans'. Your 'party' is an illusion, and a distraction.

'Elections' are no more legitimate than merely choosing a 'product' (candidate) the you choose by 'brand' (Democrat/­­­Republic­a­n­). They are all on the take, and we have no choice.. as the choice is also an illusion as well.

It is the New INGSOC ('1984', George Orwell) : Weakening of public will through misdirecti­­­on/misin­f­o­rmatio­n, ignorance and sloth. By causing hardship, or enabling it, it addles ones ability to think clearly by using fear as an aggregate.

Both parties suck , as they are in the pocket of Corporations.

The more you folks wake up out of your self-induced coma, the more pissed you will be. In stating that however, many folks, both 'conservative', and 'liberal' don't want to face the reality that their 'representative' is a walking facade; a corporate product designed to support the policies that will aide in their revenue expansion. Especially at the expense of the populace.

We matter not at all.

Someone let me know if Michael disappoints or delivers on this factual perspective.”

“Neil McCarthy -

No. We have to learn the EXACT NATURE of what is ailing and threatening our nation, and not allow ourselves to be addled by distraction, like mainstream media and meaningless political nomenclature such as 'party' deter from the facts.

'Exact Nature' would be along the lines of asking why ominous threats against the U.S, were never headed, and why corporate misogyny still governs policy in this country.

It's not just apathy, it's intellectual entropy: a race to the bottom by way of being colluded by our bias of our views and of our world.”

“If it were not for the nature of what I do for a living, there is no way I would've joined this service. I agree with many of the posts here, and the comments are ligitament.”

“What you voted for was 'corporate product'..

you should get out of your politicos and the bias to your 'party'. it doesn't really exist as a true representation of the peoples will. Below is the only 'will' these pawns have:

That is the mindset I'm coming from. 'Party' or 'President' is an illusion. This interview is a non-event..”

“OLD NEWS: PHarma primarily sponsored his campaign for Obama's run at the Presidency. This being the fact, how the hell does he get the 'public option' installed (or any quasi-public measure for that matter) against the revenue of his backers. Her's the answer: he DOESN'T..

For he can not bite the hands that fed his coffers. Arainna knows this. This particular segment is a 'fluff piece', and not very illuminating.”

“Spiritgirl2:
Amen”

“Agreed, I'm merely saying the discussion in and of itself is a facade. Health Care reform is all theatre, with no substance. Along with many other policies as well.

Our gov't is bought and paid for. Policy only is moved by direction relation to the lobbyists that garner influence through monies paid.

The people do not count.”

“Health Care Reform is a facade: please don't buy into the pedantic theatre being put on for your benefit. All members of the Senate, Congress, and the Oval Office are over-the-top actors vying for your distraction. They have not any clout in policy making that will benefit the people.. they don't have to because of this:
