“But Dawn Teo and Yellowdoggie,

It's the rethugs who ALWAYS climb onto soap boxes and high platforms to declare how christian they are, how great their family values are, how decent they are, and how unlike ALL republicans, the democratic candidates and supporters all reside in Soddom and Gommorah.

The comments are equally about the crime as well as the HYPOCRISY .............. It's not about stereotyping it's about the HYPOCRISY and the fact that whenever a rethug is "caught", their explanation always finds its way to REPUBLICAN ENTITLEMENT to justify the committing of the the various hypocritical acts.”

“"None of the women were willing to speak on the record. Some were afraid of Mecum. Others were afraid of hurting the party."

"Pullen said later in his statement, "He used Voter Vault. The Republican National Committee owns Voter Vault....It's a private list. We own the list. We can do what we want with the list, quite frankly."

Two telling statements ................ And quite eye-opening.

The women opted to remain quiet about the crime rather than "hurt" the republican party.

It's the rethuglican list, and they can use it to commit crimes against women if they so choose.

And to think these are the SAME people who seek to villify and discredit ACORN......... It's obviously safer to be registered to vote by ACORN than by a member/representative/agent of the rethuglican party.”

“"In the end, this is a question for politicians elected by the people. They have to decide what is more important: taking care of the future interests of the conventional power business or taking care of the future of society."

Mandela would have known the right answer. We should hope that the world leaders that will be coming together in Copenhagen later this week will find some of his inspiration for their talks and meetings."

..................... And Mandela's answer would have been to remind each and every leader about the last 2 lines from the poem "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley:

"I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

That's what each and every leader should remember as they seek to challenge and to begin the real work on global warming.”

“Exactly who made Tiger a celebrity? ..................... THE MSM DID.

Tiger never went out seeking the MSM for publicity ................. It was/is the MSM who followed him around hoping for a story about his life (professional and private).

Also Tiger in all if his career, NEVER got up on a soap box and declared that he was PERFECT.

The MSM portrayed him as such, and because it was repeated often the myth became a reality, and now people are disappointed because the MYTH was not real?”

“"Now that Woods appears to have been involved in a domestic dispute, the media is wondering if there is "another Tiger." They are desperate to pillory the man for his personal problems. It would be more appropriate if they took this opportunity to scrutinize him for the right reasons. Woods has every right to keep his personal problems personal. But when he makes deals that benefit dictatorships and unaccountable corporations, all in the name of his billion-dollar brand, he deserves no privacy."

REALLY? ........... PLEEEEEEEEZE !

Or is the "break" some people were waiting for to bring Tiger Woods down for DARING to become the master of a heretofore all white sport of golf, when in their world he should be no more than a caddy, a greenskeeper or a locker room attendant?

We have seen the same OVERKILL of Serena and Venus Williams who DARED to grow up in Compton and still became the top players in the heretofore all white world of tennis...........

How hypocritical when John McEnroe is now the spokesman for National Car Rental JUST BECAUSE he consistently lost his temper on the tennis court........ Compare this to the nonstop bashing of Serena for a SINGLE outburst.”

“Noe of the Palinistas who bought the book (or who were given a FREE book by the FAKE bestseller list bundlers) will be aware of the gaffe.

In fact the majority are not capable of reading the ghostwritten book anyway.

As for the fact checking, it's obvious that the HarperCollins fact checkers did not do the job, or they didn't care less about FACTS .............

If the HarperCollins folks had taken out ALL of the LIES, the book would probably be 20 pages or less (including the photo pages).”

“This teabagging incitement isn't amusing anymore ................. I suspect that a "bloody battle" (literally) is going to be the order of the day in 2010 right up to the elections in November.”

“Who will $$arah throw her hat in the ring for? ...................

McCain who is responsible for her current CELEBRITY and whom she owes a debt of gratitude, or Hayworth who represents her "REAL" America and who she considers to be a PURE rethug?”

“Most popular Governor? ................... Is that what she was when she QUIT?

I think not ............. In fact her ratings had dropped to the high 40s - low 50s, and were dropping everyday.

If ONLY 20% of Americans identify as rethuglican, and if ONLY 50% of them think $$arah is all that, then 50% of rethugs hate her + 100% Democrats and Independents.

Some popularity.”

“So $$arah learnt a NEW word ......... Commonsense ............. And she wants everyone to know about her miraculous feat.

Whoopdeedoo.”

“It probably is the case where $$$arah's book is the ONLY book Limbaugh ever read.”

“So there have been 2 LIES from the military ........ LIES that were too stupid even to tell in the first place.

So what else will the military try to cover up? .................. The fact that they did NOTHING about Hasan months and years ago, even though they knew the signs were there?

Will they find it necessary to fabricate the events of the day, just to make themselves look good even though we all know that Hasan is guilty of murder and can easily guess his fate?

I thought that there was an honor code in the military which is respected and insisted on by the brass.

Telling BLATENT LIES is certainly not honorable.”

“What's different about President Obama is that he can WRITE and deliver a flawless speech if he wanted to as he ALWAYS did in the past.

Even with $$$arah's so-called (still awaiting the proof) journalism degree (which one assumes requires a command of the english language), she cannot put a sentence together herself if she even tried.

The point is that the speech writer who penned both speeches for $$$arah, was on the McCain campaign payroll .............. $$$arah was not allowed to give either speech on election night, but that didn't stop her.

Only 8 days later she gave the McCain paid speech at the RGA meeting, and passed it off as her own work.

For a person who attended 4 institutions to get a single degree, along the way she should have learnt about PLAGIARISM.”

“VeryFairMOR,

There is a difference ................ The Palinistas, and the Beck/Limaugh followers along with some republican members of Congress and republican governors have PUBLICALLY called for a party where only those who think like them are allowed in the tent.............. Which is akin to Hitler seeking to ensure that ONLY PURE AYRANS remain in his world.

They went even further with the NY 23 race and declared that republican candidate which was SELECTED BY THE PEOPLE in the NT 23 primary was NOT republican enough, and they proceeded to PUSH their PURE REPUBLICAN candidate onto those constituents.

To add insult to injury they have declared that they will go after other constituencies and it seems as if Charlie Crist is next in line to be PURGED.

No Democrat has announced and/or acted on the PURGING of other Democrats from the party, and therein lies the difference.”

“Thank you David Plouffe.

Why the noise from "armchair quarterbacks" who claim to know everything about being President, but who don't have the guts to run for office?

If they are such experts then why don't they vie for the job, actually win the election, and prove that their "recommendations" would actually work?

NEVER during the campaign did Obama promise to fix EVERYTHING in his first year.

The financial collapse happened just 8 weeks before the election, and until then, NEITHER did Obama or McCain ever think that it would be something they would have to deal with if they won.

The SAME people who believe that they are EXPERTS in ALL things presidential, were the SAME people who sat back and let George Bush create the mess, and NONE came out to criticize him BEFORE the Katrina fiasco...............

By the time Katrina had rolled around on August 29, 2005, George Bush had already been in office for 4 years and 8 months, and the WORST of his damage had already been done with NO SCRUTINY OR CRITICISM FROM THE ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACKS.

But yet these SAME people expect President Obama to have fixed everything in 10 months, even with the 24/7 GOP and the Blue Dog obstruction.

DOES OBAMA NOT GET CREDIT FOR ANYTHING? ............

THESE PEOPLE COULD JUST AS EASILY LIST THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS MADE IN THE LAST 10 MONTHS......... BUT I GUESS CRITICISM IS WHAT MAKES HEADLINES.”

“Let's just hope he CAN read it ................. The book will probably have big words (more than 3 letters) in it.”

“Lou Dobbs LIED .............. Plain and simple ................. There is NO defense for his actions.

HE KNEW THE FACTS .............. BUT YET HE LIED.”

“Notice how quickly that abstinence "damage control" campaign fizzled out.

One or two appearances and it was all over for Bristol ................. It doesn't seem that she was really sincere in her efforts.

It was all about getting the required photo-ops and then QUITTING the gig.”

“Expanding on the religious views question, Oprah needs to ask the QUITTER about her witch hunting pastor, especially when the henious acts from the likes of the pastor and his colleagues against children who have been falsely accused of being witches, have been in the news lately.”

“It was the "white working class won't vote for Obama" that got me with Hillary.

Why couldn't it have been JUST the "working class" if that was the real point she was trying to make?

Hillary's campaign added the word "WHITE" to create a racial divide just to shore up the votes for herself in the redneck states.

It was a dirty tactic that failed for her, but a tactic that became the catalyst for the rethugs to run with, and which have evolved into those racist tea parties.

No matter how many so-called focus groups Carville and his buddies cook up, and no matter how many excuses they come up with to try explain the rethuglican hate for President Obama, we all know the truth ................ It's plain racism.

Let's not forget Carville was among those selling the "white working class voters won't vote for Obama" mantra ............... So it's interesting that he now blames everything else other than racist views to explain the hatred.”

“Obnoxiously Articulate = Code word for UPPITY

The haters are just upset that President Obama and his family just doesn't fit the stereotypical mold the racists try to fit all persons of color in.”

“SENATOR Obama made 5 post-Katrina visits to New Orleans...... For example

From Habitat News 7/21/06:

"Barack Obama The US Senator for Illinois visited the Musicians Village today and saw first hand the progress being made by New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity in bringing back the communities in the Ninth Ward. The Senator was led on a tour by Jim Pate , NOAHH Executive Director. He listened to music from J.D Hill, one of the first home owners at the Musicians Village. He also met with partner families, and volunteers.

He held discussions with NOAHH executive team led by Jim Pate, and took part in painting a home .

New Orleans Area Habitat for Humanity is grateful to Senator Barrack Obama for visiting and supporting our efforts at the Musicians' Village"

Fox News 1/29/07:

Barack Obama toured hurricane-scarred New Orleans on Monday after criticizing the White House for the slow pace of recovery from storms that hit the Gulf Coast almost a year and a half ago.

As President he has realeased monies previously held back by the Bush administration, allocated billions from the stimulus bill, and charged Janet Napolitano to pay close attention to New Orleans. ed by Katrina.

President Obama spent MORE time in New Orleans than Bush ever did, and he KNOWS what's happening there .......... So why the complaint of a 4 hour visit?”

“Why paint the skins of white models so so that they to appear to be black?

Wouldn't it have been easier and SENSIBLE to feature black models with their NATURAL skin tones ranging in a variety of beautiful shades.”

“REALLY?

Governments intervene to take up the slack which the private sector cannot handle.

If governments didn't do this, then ONLY the wealthy would have healthcare, education, and food.

The next time you feel the need to channel Ronald Reagan with his "Government is the problem" mantra, think about ALL of the government services you take for granted ........

Police departments, Fire departments, the Armed Forces, the FDA, the CDC, the EPA, OSHA, FDIC, CIA, FBI, USDA, EEOC, the VA, FEMA, Air Traffic Control, Public Schools, Public Hospitals, Social Security, US Customs and Border Patrol, US Immigration ................ And the list goes on and on.

Are you prepared to give all of this up? ............. Are you prepared to pay, or able to pay, for ALL these services if they were put in the hands of PRIVATE companies?

Perhaps you can pay for example ------ Private fire department services, but your neighbor cannot afford the service ......So the neighbor's house catches fire which threatens your house (and you are not home to know what's happening) ........... What do you do?......... Lose your house because the neighbor can't afford PRIVATE fire services or be thankful that a government service is available to save your home?”

“"It was always absurd that Ronald Reagan, whose political project led to the end of the gulag and the fall of the Berlin Wall, and who gambled his personal standing in the world for a system that would protect the common man from annihilation in a nuclear missile attack, could not win it."
______________________________________________

Peggy Noonan, has CONVIENTLY avoided mentioning Ronald Reagan and HIS orchestration of the IRAN-CONTRA SCANDAL............. So we will jog her memory about one of the most illegal actions of a sitting US presicent, and one of the most embarassing incidents for the country and Americans.

It's obvious that the Nobel Committee kept current with ALL of the republican administration scandals over the years, and so Ronald Reagan had as much chance of winning a Nobel prize as Sarah Palin has in ever being seen as an intellectual.

What's next Peggy? ........... A posthumous Nobel prize for Nixon and his Watergate scandal? ...........

A joint Nobel Peace Prize for Bush and Cheney for their WMD LIE, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, their torture policies, the greatest worldwide financial collapse since the Great Depression?

Yeah Peggy, the Nobel Committee should have been impressed enough about the IRAN-CONTRA SCANDAL to award Reagan a Nobel Prize......... PLEEEEEEEEZE !”
