Why are average voters better at piercing Palin's hypocrisy than pundits who get paid to do so everyday?

Conservative lip service to ideas like free markets and a strong defense produced neither. These "values" were never actually turned into priorities for policy making.

Palin is the signal that McCain needed to send that his administration is not simply a recycled four more years of Bush policies.

As the US economy continues to crater, there's plenty of blame to go around. Apparently, way around.

The Republicans tell us they wish they didn't have to take this course; that the bailout violates their own first principles; that they're so, so sorry. But none of this is true.

While trickle-down economics theory can be used to mask a raw power grab, it is also a philosophy of moral superiority which many conservatives have come to truly believe.

George Will is through with the Straight Talk Express. His Tuesday column is a vigorous literary battering that never lets up as Will exerts his frustration and disappointment with McMaverick.

Palin has been a poster girl for the McCain campaign, lending an aura of feminism to a man who has consistently voted against legislation that protects the rights of women. The original euphoria which some women and men felt when she was selected is bound to fade.

If the other side is utterly immune to the truth -- and it only makes them dig deeper into their fantasy world -- what's a leftie to do?

She makes them laugh and lets them think that they'll all head over to Culver's later for frozen custard and ButterBurgers.

These diametrically opposed, partisan visions of America can never be reconciled because both parties feel that they are fundamentally saving the other party from itself.

"I don't think Barack Obama is half the man Sarah Palin is. He can't take a punch, he's weak, and he whines," Limbaugh says of the Democratic nominee.
Nancy L. Cohen | Posted 09.05.2008 | Politics
If McCain had chosen a man with Sarah Palin's extremist views, I wager we would have heard a requiem for McCain the once-beloved maverick.

If you are biracial and born in a state not connected to the lower 48, America needs darn near 2 years to "get to know you." If you're white and from a state not connected to the lower 48, America needs 36 minutes and 38 seconds to know you're "one of us."

If you're a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the individual you're "reckless." A Republican who doesn't fully vet is a "maverick."

Do you think the Republicans would lay off of Obama if his 17 year-old daughter had gotten pregnant out of wedlock? You know the answer to that question. Everyone does.

So incredible is Bob's love for the Fox News network, he made a sign and headed to Denver to present his case to the American people, and Democrats in particular.
