joe r. i read your comment and thought it more represented this: ... comment in regards to (Obama) when she stated "how could someone like (Obama) endorse anyone, when (he) can't even answer simple questions"? She went on to say, do these people even know who they endorse."? (Obama) attacks without thinking, (ie the police, and informed seasoned citizens attending town home meetings) and the negativity (he) embarks on only serves to prove (he) has limited knowledge of the facts. The far (left) has done so much to disrupt, and to roadblock the (republicans) and (american free market) with fillibusters, and arguments over every single issues, and the (Republicans) have allowed them to get away with it. The (liberals) are acting badly, they have not reached across party lines, but instead continue to shutdown the (Republicans), and its time this childish garbage comes to an end. (Obama) and (Paloci) have also played into this form of contempt, and are actually hurting the American people they claim to want to represent, because they truly do not understand Americans. That better illustrates the current situation of america politics. Whats Obama's slogan gonna be in 2012? "FOUR MORE YEARS of: high unemployment?, $1,000,000,000,000's of deficit?, apologizing tours?, hate Isreal tours? giving radicals the 'nuke' ability?, JOE BIDEN AS YOUR 'CANT KEEP HIS BIG MOUTH SHUT' VICE PRESIDENT?" im sure the radical left wingers are proud of joe biden's performance thus far.

Bob i love Scozzafava's comment in regards to Palin when she stated "how could someone like Palin endorse anyone, when she can't even answer simple questions"? She went on to say, do these people even know who they endorse."? Palin attacks without thinking, and the negativity she embarks on only serves to prove she has limited knowledge of the facts. The far right has done so much to disrupt, and to roadblock the president and congress with fillibusters, and arguments over every single issues, and the Dems have allowed them to get away with it. The conservatives are acting badly, they have not reached across party lines, but instead continue to shutdown the Democrats, and its time this childish garbage comes to an end. Palin and Bachman have also played into this form of contempt, and are actually hurting the American people they claim to want to represent, because they truly do not understand Americans. I agree with Randy, and the more they speak and stay in the lime light, the better it will be for Americans, perfect example, just listen to Bachman, enough said!!!

Bob d- With as much fun you have with the GOP how about the 17 new taxes in the senate bill? They are not all for folks making over 250 grand. Over 400 madeup districts. Govrecover.org cost 84 million dollars to produce hogwash. Where are the h1n1 shots? And dems expect us to beleive thier numbers. Do you think they will cut 500 billion to medicare and make it stonger? Doctor fix another 250 billion. 100 million to buy LA. votes from Mary L. If this was not true it would be funny.

Cal Thomas wrote in the article, "Still, if she is as bad as her detractors say, why are they wasting so much time dumping on her? One might think they would be cheering the prospect of her becoming the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, thus guaranteeing in their mind a second term for President Obama." Most of my fellow liberals would like nothing better than seeing Palin become the nominee. Palin is too shallow to impress the most intelligent 2/3 of the nation, so she could never be elected.

Most Americans are reasonable in that they think she is not qualified to be Prez. The key word being "reasonable". http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/10/28/cnn-poll-7-in-10-say-palin-not-qualified-to-be-president/ http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/11/16/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry5674379.shtml There's this one too: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/hp/ssi/wpc/postpoll_111609.html?hpid=topnews

Funny how John and Greg agree that the liberal mind is the stumbling block of humanity. Wasn't it the conservative mind that has suppressed science on climate change? Isn't it the conservative mind that continues to argue against science in our schools? The stumbling block of humanity is ignorance. When you are not in pursuit of knowledge, you are retarding growth. The GOP extreme here can spin all they want but the party they support hasn't offered a good idea in decades. They depend on a lack of knowledge to succeed and people like Greg and John play right into their hands when they blindly lump liberals together as though they're not americans. Thinkers scare them.

There are alot of liberals over 40 that have managed to have smarts and a heart...I don't know if you can say the same thing about conservatives over 40. Seems to me they only know how to be anti and that doesn't take too many brains or a heart.
