Sarah Palin's Republican competition

Quitter Palin, M.J.Huckaberry, Newton adulterous Gingerich, and the blowdrying king, Mittens Romney. Wow. This is like a cartoon. If you want a good laugh, there you go.

A Palin vs. Romney battle for power in the 2012 primary would probably be about the best thing to happen to the Democratic Party. Hillary and Obama in 2008 would look like a tea party...

Palin 2012, rid American of Obamaism.

Wow. This is like a cartoon. If you want a good laugh, there you go.

Doug R- your right, next thing you know we will have a bunch of folks that have never run a business, met a payroll, or managed anything other then their own election campaigns in the postion of making economic and business decisions that in a normal world would be well above their pay grade.
-
Then like an I "I love Lucy " show we could all have a lot of fun will we watch the economy fall to peices, see ideologically driven policies that defy logic and common sense become left wing dogma that when challenged becomes the equivalent of holocaust denial, we would our loony stars say things like "we need a Trillion dollar tax payer funded health care for all program in the middle of a recession, and our leader would travel around the world telling everybody how horrible the US has been..

I know it could never happen - but wouldn't that be funny! Oh wait...

Let's see--Mitt Romney leads in the poll, and the headline is--PALIN?

Why is Mark Silva and the rest of Obama's media claque so hung up on Palin?

So, Palin is increasingly popular with the shrinking number of people who identify with the GOP?

Think about that for a minute, and you may come to another meaning for those numbers, e.g.: not that an increasing number of Republicans like Palin, but that increasingly only the sort of people who like Palin identify as Republican in 2009.

Don't forget what remains of the GOP base .. paranoid self-pitying people loaded with rage and grievances and feeling betrayed and condescended to. Along comes Palin with her dog-whistle racism and appeals to the conceit of nasty stupid people, You watch, if Huckabee started to euphemistically praise mean pinch-faced church-going bigots and issue euphemized putdowns of minorities and gays etc, he'd soar.

we need a Trillion dollar tax payer funded health care for all program in the middle of a recession, and our leader would travel around the world telling everybody how horrible the US has been..I know it could never happen - but wouldn't that be funny! Oh wait...

Yeah PrePuke,
Nevermind the eight years of Republican Trickledown Tax Cuts for the Rich Reganomics that caused the whole mess that we're in right now, you'd rather whine about the people who are trying to clean up the mess your Repug heroes created in the first place.

I love how Wingnuts refer to themselves as "True Americans", like they have some sort of secret majority hidden away somewhere that only they can see or something.

With the kind of numbers the GOP has now they couldn't win a game of Bingo, let alone a National Election.

antacid - 2

Doug R - 1

heartburn - 0

The election is a long way off. but if the next GOP nominee is going to be among these clowns then yeah, the GooPers are in the deep stuff.

She may turn out to be too mavericky for even the CCC -- Compassionate Christian Conservatives.

As usual antacid has diarrhea of the mouth.

"Nevermind the eight years of Republican Trickledown Tax Cuts for the Rich Reganomics that caused the whole mess that we're in right now,"

The tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 had nothing to do with the recession of 2008-09. That recession was casued by the housing bubble bursting. The hosuing bubble was caused by regulations forcing banks to make loans to unqualified people.

Stewie's stuffed animal,

That was just a goal. Name the law or regulation that George Bush signed that made that possible?

Rememebr, it was Barney"Let's Roll the Dice on Fannie and Freddie" Frank that was stonewalling smarter regulation on Fannie and Freddie. It was President Bush that wanted to tighten the regulation on Fannie and Freddie.

Facts - they are stubborn things

rupert,
Don't bother with Terri, he's the most deluded Wingnutty Repug that you'll ever run into. Arguing with Terri is like arguing with a whiny know-it-all five year old.

Trickled On You,

Whiny know-it-all five-year olds are smarter than You.

Isn't it time for you "to double nothing and get one"?

Fannie and Freddie didn't cause Bush's economic meltdown, they were a victim of it.

The only fact you have presented is the fact that you're a know-nothing moron who fancies himself an economic expert.

Thanks for playing, Turdy.

Well, gosh, it is way early.

Where was the skinny guy with the big ears and the funny name in the Gallup poll of the Democrats run in the summer of 2005? You know, the Current Occupant of the White House?

The 'Let's Blame Barney' for everything farce. You're ignoring facts, Terry.

Any thing would be better that the Disaster in the White House now.

It is a wonderful day in the Republican neighborhood, what with the cackle of candidates, that are lining up, only to be shot down. We know it isn't going to be " Brylcreem " Mitty or Neut Getrich, nor will it be Hucklebery from Mayberry, or the " stick-to-it-ism " of Sarah Fallin !! My guess is, it will be Senator " Big " John Cornyn or Senator " Questionable Conduct " McCain. These two Johnnies, Johnny Wayne types, will try to hold onto the rabid Right and then unleash them within the next year and a half, with their screeching and hollering about Sodom and Gomorrah !! I am sure it will be Swaggert leading the charge, followed closely, from behind, by Craig and Vitter !! These are the Republican legions from hell, flying the banners of the divine. It is the same good, old Republican strategy, but with a new twist. Since they seem to have bamboozled the electorate on key initiatives of President Obama's, they feel they are now in a position to completely deny American citizens any meaningful rights, be it health-scare rights, job rights or plain, old, civil rights. I just don't think America is ready to go back to the " good " old days of the Bush&Cheney disaster. Now, I may be wrong, but I really don't think America wants that, again !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and Rupert, Fannie and Freddie went belly up because they gave loans to people who couldn't pay them. The Bush administratio began warning Congress way back in 2005 that something had to be done about those two. But the Democrats in Congress, especially after they took power in 2007, fought against any kind of reform of Freddie and Fannie. Barney Frank and Chris Dudd were the two that lead that fight to protect Freddie and Fannie. Then, last July, Barney said that both Fannie and Freddie were sound, in good shape, nothing to worry about. One month later, the taxpayers are bailing them out.

This article does a good job of laying out the problems, which both parties are guilty of, but as the article points out the Democrats, lead by Barney Frank, were not going to let Fannie and Freddie be reformed. All the while, Clintonites were running these outfits, especially when the proverbial poop began hitting the fan.

http://www.reason.com/news/show/130330.html

These two paragraphs tell the story best:
Fannie and Freddie rallied their friends on Capitol Hill, who immediately pushed back against the Bush proposals. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), the ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, said, "These two entities-Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac-are not facing any kind of financial crisis. The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing." The reform effort fizzled.

In 2006 the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight issued the blistering results of its investigation. The irregularities, investigators concluded, amounted to "extensive financial fraud." The purpose of the deception was clear: to "smooth" earnings from year to year in order to maintain increasing returns and maximize executive bonuses. Raines, for example, earned more than $50 million in bonuses tied to earnings growth during his six-year tenure.

So, XXXXXXXXXXX and Rupert, it seems that once again it is the demented souls on the Left that don't have the facts. What new??

Pass the popcorn & watch the 21st century version of the Bull Moose or Whig party try to out crazy each other. Just when you think it can't possibly get any better, it does.

Johnny Dittohead......everyone except you knows that it was the greedy banks that made the predatory loans to make a quick buck.....and who wouldn't, when you can shuffle the risk right away on the loan paper market. The only good bank is the one you sleep on.

Terri-
Again, your knowledge of history and economics is wanting. Between overdosing on drug/ viagra addict Limpbaugh and Fox News, maybe you should pick up a beginners econonics and history class at your local community college. You may actually learn some fasts.

Too bad you can't read and comprehend, John D.

Trickled On You,

Fannie and Freddie were a victim of the economic meltdown - nice statement - explain it mope.

Doogie,

"Again, your knowledge of history and economics is wanting. Between overdosing on drug/ viagra addict Limpbaugh and Fox News, maybe you should pick up a beginners econonics and history class at your local community college. You may actually learn some fasts." - Nice three sentence - no facts disputing by assertion - once again.

Ditto for Horrible Form - no facts, just blather.
