There is in fighting in the republican party…so what else is new? Sister Sarah was upstaged by the (Grinch) Newt, he had to have his 20 minutes of fame. The very man that was ran out of Washington in shame.

They raised about 14.5 m and fewer party members donated this year as opposed to 15.4 in 2007 and 27 million in 2005. Palin was on Hannity talking of all things “economics”. She only made a “C” in microeconomics in college. Palin is trying to fake her way to a nomination, but doesn’t realize that everyone is on to her lack of knowledge.

Palin-- they only wanted you for window dressing—you suck at public speaking that doesn’t include a bevy of speech writers. The GOP keeps diging up Ronald Reagan, good grief, they should let him rest in peace. He stunk as a President anyway.

They have nothing…nada unless a dark horse happens to appear, just the same old tired assed old farts that are damn near maggot food. Palin, Todd is giving you the wrong advice.

I get that neutered needs to 'feel' like he's got some political clout or power; but the fact is - It is the Republicans that are outmatched by President Obama.  Just because the Republicans are standing in front of microphones does NOT mean anyone is listening.  21% self identify as Republicans.  Doesn't that information speak to any of the clueless?

I guess I was wrongabout the super double secret guest speaker.  Thank goodness!.

Palin, you're a f'n moron.  Where were you when Bush was spending us into oblivion and cranking up a war on a second front with no evidence that it was necessary, you stupid hypocrite!?

The title of this article should be "Much Ado About Nothing".  We need to make sure that Adulterer Neuter Gingrich never lives down his $300K ethics fine nor his antifamily adultering that led him to dump two wives.  We also must make sure that the Wasilla Hillbilly never sees federal office as she is the antithesis of democracy and intelligence.

As long as the evil elephant party has creeps like these two extremists leading their party they'll be in political limbo for many years to come.  I'm thankful the Wicked Witch of Alaska isn't running our economy as she would drive our economy into the ditch faster than the bushwhacker did.

Impeach Palin Now!
Never Forgive Neuter's Adultering!
Go Lakers!

Gingrich, as usual, is full of it.  It was perfect timing for Pres. Obama to schedule his speech right before Cheney's.  The contrast between the two men and the two ideologies was striking and wouldn't have been as powerful if the speeches had been given hours or days apart.

Cheney can call his recent appearances whatever he wants, but I see them as a desperate attempt to cling to the power he had and misses so badly.  It's even sadder to watch his daughter Lyn defend her poor misunderstood daddy.  

And if you didn't have enough reasons to dislike our former VP, here are a few more.

Dick Cheney's voting record as a Wyoming congressman

While a member of the U. S. House of Representatives as the at-large congressman of Wyoming, Richard B. Cheney:

Repeatedly voted against programs designed to provide assistance to displaced workers.

Voted against legislation requiring factory owners to notify employees before closing their plants.

Cast 10 separate votes against funding nutrition programs for children, including one vote opposing a move to protect food programs for women and infants from budget cuts.

Repeatedly voted against maintaining funding for Head Start programs.

Voted against a measure that granted time off for federal employees to care for sick family members.

Voted against the Hunger Relief Act, which expanded eligibility for the federal food stamp program.

Voted against providing mortgage assistance for low income home buyers.

Opposed college student aid programs contained in the Higher Education Act.

During the recession of the early 1980s, voted to block extension of unemployment benefits, including a provision that would provide health insurance for unemployed workers and their families.

Voted against the Equal Rights Amendment.

Voted for Ronald Reagan’s veto of the Civil Rights Restoration Act.

Voted to limit Social Security cost-of-living adjustments for retired Americans living on fixed incomes.

Was one of only eight members of the House to vote against renewing the Older Americans Act, which provided nutritional and other support services for elderly Americans. (If Cheney’s opposition had succeeded, the entire nutritional program would have effectively been shut down).

Voted against limiting out-of-pocket expenses for Medicare recipients, most of whom were senior citizens. His votes were so consistently counter to the interests of the elderly that a Cox News Service headline declared, “Senior Groups Call Cheney’s Voting Record a Disaster.”

Not only did Cheney’s votes tend toward unfairness on domestic issues, he actually voted against sanctioning South Africa’s apartheid regime for its repressive policies. He was also a vocal opponent of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison.

From any angle Dick Cheney’s congressional voting record presents a clear window into who he is and has been throughout his public life. Rather than one possessed of a servant’s concern for the American people, he is a man apparently possessed by a startling but consistent contempt for senior citizens, for poor and needy Americans and their children, for desperate workers stripped of their only source of income, and for everyday Americans struggling to educate their children, put food on their tables, and maintain decent homes – in other words, for almost all of those he claims to serve. Cheney’s callous dismissal of the sufferings of others goes far to explain his willingness to sanction the torture of human beings without the least hesitation.

It appears that the people at the fund raiser are not part of the unemployed, as that averages about $7000.00 donation per person.

Wow Anita that was such a mature statement, especially the part when you said "Palin-- they only wanted you for window dressing—you suck at public speaking that doesn’t include a bevy of speech writers" and lets not forget "They have nothing…nada unless a dark horse happens to appear, just the same old tired assed old farts that are damn near maggot food".  Hopefully you teach your children better.

By the way I noticed how you couldn't counter the arguement about the enormous waste of money that the govenor pointed out.  I guess if you can't make an intelligent counter point the next best thing is to resort to name calling.  Very mature indeed, and to think that you get to vote.

Its great to see the Republicans rolling out the dinosaurs as the "leaders" of their party.  Does any one with a shred of common sense or intelligence believanything these people say?  Aren't these the sames people who were forced out of D.C. in disgrace?  The Republicans have become the party of clown, jesters and bufoons!

'When you consider that the federal government is about $11 trillion in debt, and we're borrowing more to spend more ... it defies any sensible economic policy any of us ever learned through college,' the former Republican vice presidential candidate told Sean Hannity in a Fox News interview.

----------------------------------

Hey, Governor Palin...what economic policies did you learn in college?

Anita is so damned jealous of Palin it's almost comical. She needs to dwell on something like Obie falling flat on his face.

The Supreme Court stopped him, if only temporarily.
He has apparently broken many laws with his government takeovers of everything under the sun.

Now he wants to tax everything from "gas from cows" so farmers pay $175 per year per cow because methane gas ruins the atmosphere and adds to global warming.
Watch milk and other dairy products go thru the roof. This is insanity but typical Obie "milking" everybody for the money he threw down the drain.

Obie's an idiot, pure and simple. His stimulus isn't working and, in fact, is backfiring on him as even members of his own party think he's in over his head.

Obie dopie, when in the hell are you gonna quit playing your blame game and quit coming up with kiddie ideas to run your administration and continue to ruin this nation.

"Reagan used his rhetorical skills to shine light on truths and facts, while Obama uses his to rhetorical skills to hide' from those things."

Like when Reagan told the truth about funding the Contras or the big shell game with missle defense and Russia?  In the last few years of Reagan, his mind was slipping and he did not no the truth.

As for Obama and Chaney, the more that comes out, the more we will see Obama is on the correct side of the truth line.  Already, Chaney is having to change his version of the truth and it will not stand.

Newt- Now there's a guy with honesty and integrity-Hah!

cheney- ooooh the boogie man cometh- if you believe in fearmongering and you better watch out where that muzzle is pointed you just might get shot in the face!

Flalin palin- If it weren't for looks would she even be a topic?

This is the face of the Repuke party----limpbag!

The current state of the Repuke party is not what the party has stood for.  The current lot of Repukes stand for fearmongering, hateful name calling, stating veterans who disagree with them UNPATRIOTIC, rubber stamping, unwilling to work with the other side to right a country they helped to break, they represent not the working class of America but the uber rich (elite).  The country needs a working 2 party system if not a third party.  This current lot of Repukes are blocking the aid of this COUNTRY!  They represent a mindset of PARTY FIRST country second.  They do not know what it means to make a personal sacrifice for the COUNTRY!

Palin's right. Obie dug a deep hole and America is stuck in it, having to borrow more and more money from China, who is gonna own this country if our useless and pointless leader doesn't wake up.

Newt Grinch and Sara are so yesterday!  Maybe they should create a new act and take it on the road, something like the new "Sonny and Cher" show.  Comedy would not be bad at this time.  They should learn to laugh at themselves.  Everyone else is!

Macroecon question for Palin: "What is the multiplier in terms of aggregate demand and government spending?"  Apparently she wasn't paying attention in econ class because every prof I've had recently says the opposite of Palin.  I mean, econ 1A, introduction to macroeconomics.  Real bone head stuff.  I suspect she heard what she wanted to hear.  Probably say the image of the Virgin Mary in her toast this morning too.

Zombie banks, zombie insurance and car companies and now zombie political parties.  Good night and good luck!

"Sarah Palin said 'we told ya so' to President Obama on Monday night, claiming his spending polices to revive the economy were leading America to socialism."
------------------------------------------------------
Will someone please ask Sarah why the collective ownership of resources is OK when Alaska is cashing the Big Oil checks, but otherwise it's evil SOCIALISM!

Like most positions Sarah takes, one has to wonder whether she is too cynical to care about her hypocrisy; or too ignorant to understand that she is being a hypocrite.  Either way, not good traits for someone who wants to be on the world stage.

If Bad Chihuahua or one of the other Sarah apologists could let us know which they think it is- cynical hypocrisy, or blatant ignorance of the issues- that would be super, thanks.  

Must be all democrats. People should be writing from fact not their own bias opinions! All garbage talk coming out of their mouth! Nothing sensible at all.

I can understand the principles, but I don't think that they work some of the time.  If he wants free markets, the only way that can really work 100% of the time is if all of the people and businesses follow all of the rules and act ethically and with a minimal amount of greed.  If people want low taxes, then there should be a lower expectation of what we expect government to do.  That last part isn't going to happen.

Reagan this, Reagan that...The Repukes prop his Presidency up as a role model!  That's all ya' got Repukes?  Can't help but remember how the Repukes and Right-wing crazies railed against the TV-movie on Reagan, and finally CBS caved in!  Right-wing media bias, I'd say!

The RepubliKLAN silence concerning the 8 years of the Bushwacker is DEAFENING!

the problem with the repubican party is its old say nothing bunch of idiots.

they cut obama down about the amount of money thats been spent subtract 2.8 trillion dollars obama has spent and then look at bushs expences which add up to 8 trillion dollars and then tell me who has caused this country to be indebt. republicans forget how they went on a spending spree for 8 years it adds up to a trillion dollars of debt a year.

get the picture here?

OK Governor Palin, since you brought the subject up, referencing what you and Hannity might have learned in college.  At which of the several colleges that you both attended over the course of 6 to 8 years did you study economics?  Given your mutual collegiate achievements (or lack thereof), and the inability to articulate basic concepts and events (at least in English) it is clear you are both academically and intellectually inept.  That's why we will never see you appear on the Sunday morning news shows (except Fox)to converse with Stephanopholus, Gregory or Scheiffer.  I don't envision Hannity volunteering to take another lashing the likes of which he suffered in his one on one with Howard Dean. Need I mention, Governor, your embarrassing exhanges with Gibson and Couric?  

When you have ZERO ideas about how to do anything but run the country like the Bush administration did, what do you do?

Cry Socialisim, call people Un-American, play to ignorant peoples fears.  Claim that Healthcare reform will make you loose the crappy coverage that you have, if you are lucky enough to even have that.

Guess what folks, it's all a pile of lies.  I had the best healthcare available to the general public, and when my son was born with a Brain Anuerisim, it bankrupted me, because the insurance company refused to pay tens of thousands of dollars of charges that their policy covered!  That's what your great current coverage will get you if you ever have a real medical issue.  

Here it is 7 years later from that happening to my son, and now I'm trying to decide if I can afford to keep my house, or if I should let it forclose.

WAKE UP AMERICA, healthcare reform NOW!!!!

"it defies any sensible economic policy any of us ever learned through college"

LOL, she meant anyone but me!! When did this woman earn a business degree?

ut oh! the liberals are going to be whining now...they blessed alan spector..wonder what blessing their fellow democrats will get...LOL

NY Senate Goes Republican, Aided by Two Democrats

Republican Core principles:
Fear, Hatred, Deception, Division.
Is Newter telling the Evangelicals to take a hike? In their (twisted) minds there is no compromise on what (they say) the Bible instructs on Abortion, Gays, and Sex.

Until Republicans denounce their anti-tax, anti-government, culture warriors, they'll be stuck in the political wilderness where they belong.

By the way I noticed how you couldn't counter the arguement about the enormous waste of money that the govenor pointed out.  I guess if you can't make an intelligent counter point the next best thing is to resort to name calling.  Very mature indeed, and to think that you get to vote.

Name calling?  Like calling Obama a fascist one day, a socialist the next, and pals around with terrorists the next?  And to think, she gets to run a state.

"A steady stream of people milled around her table, just to the left of the stage.”  

Sarah Palin to the left. Who'd a thunk it. I didn't know she was to the left of anything.

The radical conservatives vs. moderates and progressives. This should be interesting for the GOP never has been able to handle internal conflict. The Democrats do it all the time as there is always some difference of opinion among them.

Newt is right in saying that all factions will need to come together if their party is going to recover. Unfortunately he wants to still have the radical right be the leadership and that will remain their downfall. The are going to have to be more progressive and move toward the center or remain a minority party. Karl Rove's thousand year Republican reich isn't going to happen.

Herminio, here is a solid fact.  Sarah decries socialism, yet residents of her own state get a check once a year from the oil companies.  So, why is socialism good for her state but bad for the country?

Hypocrite much?

Bad Chihuahua

Wow an other white male republican in love with Palin. Bet you get butterflies in your stomach every time you see her on TV, don't you.

How sad is it when the person you look to to run your party isn't even an elected official within that party.  What does it say about the faith in your party's elected leaders when none can even preside over a simple fundraiser.  You look back to Gingrich, you look back to Reagan.  Why are you determined to live in the past?  Is it because you feel you have no future?

Palin's right. Obie dug a deep hole and America is stuck in it, having to borrow more and more money from China, who is gonna own this country if our useless and pointless leader doesn't wake up.

Bad Chihuahua (Sent Tuesday, June 09, 2009 9:56 AM)

White male Palin lover. Who do you think dug the hole the deepest? Bush or Obama. Bush 7 trillion debt, Obama 4 trillion debt. You and your lover girl need to get your facts straight, but you republicans never let facts get in the way of your lies.

OMG - what is wrong Newt Dumbrich.  

Why do they claim to know what President Obama means when he speaks - when they themselves have no clue about what they mean when they speak?

Absolutely. Ridiculous.

Newt - never knew you where a psychic for the living as well as the dead.

Thank you and GOD BLESS AMERICA

Honestly, I'd rather die than see this country belong to the cry-baby dems. Why would all you Sarah and Newt haters even waste your time watching their shows?? This country wouldn't need SO MANY social perks for the poor if they got up and went to work like every conservative person I know.  Me, personally I'm sick of bank-rolling every Obama plan that helps kill babies, pay for someone else's car, house and bad choices in life.  GO SARAH!!!

More whining from losers like Bad Chihuahua I see. I have news for you, using childish insults like "Obie dopie" removes any credibility for your arguments, and just shows you are a traitor hoping our country will fail.

Becoming Relevant. The moronic Palin is desperately trying to stay in front of the cameras and become relevant. She is running for president full bore as we speak because she knows the primaries favor wingnuts over moderates and she's likely to come out of them as the nominee. What a country !!

If this is all the republicans have to offer, than they will truly become an extinct party.
Newt got so full of hisself that he self destructed. Palin is such an untelligent, headline (media's fault) grabber, so full of herself she will self destruct.
Just sit back and watch them continue to make fools of theirselves. And, we will be bombarded with them as the media loves them.

As MSNBC trails, "GINGRICH AND PALIN STEAL THE SHOW"
That's got to be tongue-in-cheek. Of COURSE they did.
They are the only ones on it. COLIN POWELL wasn't there.Oh for him and another HOWARD BAKER.
The rest of them 'spent the day on the phone' trying to find out if PALIN was or wasn't going to attend.
HELLO! Lebanon? Healthcare? Foreclosure in America?Becoming more than a stage sideshow? THIS is how they spend their time.
Courting a clueless,narrow-minded,notes-reading(nice if they were all her own!), diva from
almost-Siberia.

Honestly, I'd rather die than see this country belong to the cry-baby dems. Why would all you Sarah and Newt haters even waste your time watching their shows??

'Through COLLEGE'? Which one? All 2, 3? Economics PhD
has she? And Sean, I believe, dropped out of college (a good one-couldn't cut it?)Didn't quite 'go through'.More ignorance on the part of PALIN.  Like that other intellectual, LIMBAUGH. At least Palin has actually been elected to something.
SOCIALISM? What do you call that steady PORK PIPELINE that ALASKA has enjoyed for so many years??? Earnings? Ha!
