How Sarah Palin Made Herself Indispensable While Destroying the Republican Party
Commented Nov 16, 2009 at 10:09:31 in Politics
“if Palin is planning to run for office again, I can't imagine it would be as a Republican.
She's pretty well burned that bridge.
I assume she will run on the Conservative party ticket.”

“You don't understand how the Republican party works.
The plutocrats don't care if they run a baboon or a sock-puppet. Anybody who makes it to the top of the GOP ticket is just an empty suit (or pant-suit) who will lie constantly while enacting the plutocratic agenda. That's the red flavor of plutocracy.
The blue flavor of plutocracy is Obama. It's the same crap, just marketed differently.
Same exact treatment of the banks, same turning of healthcare "reform" into a scheme to profit the cartels, same expansion of military spending, same unnecessary wars to profit the war cartel, same lack of a real energy policy to profit the fossil fuel cartels.
What difference does it make if Pain runs as the GOP candidate and loses?
The Republicans are just plutocrats, as are the Centrist Democrats--so their team is running the country even as they speak. Half of Democrats are Republicans.
The plutocratic-republican party is still in power and if Obama is still on the Democratic ticket, the Republicans know they can go ahead and lose and still get everything they want. The only reason they'll run a challenger is to keep up appearances.”

“My friend, Alan Grayson, will you lead the "Main Street Party"? Be its candidate for POTUS in 2012? If you've not heard of the "Main Street Party", it's because it doesn't exist...yet. Both major parties are corrupted beyond redemption, having sold their souls for the "Love of Money" & power. We need a Ross Perot type who would fight for Main Street, instead of Wall Street. I, and I believe many more, would follow, because we want to go where you want to go.”

“That is what makes this fight about FOX so relevant. The WH is now showing how petulant they really are by attacking the one news channel they couldn't control, FOX. So because it's p&$*ing them off, they are now trying to somehow dismiss them as irrelevant. If they can do so, then they control the media too.”

“How could anyone be against expanding hate crimes to include those who are gay? Yet, 131 GOP and 15 dems voted against it. Coming from a state that has no hate crime laws at all this needs to be passed so that anyone who commits a hate crime against someone because of their sexual orientation can be prosecuted with the enhancement. As it is people can literally get away with murder.
