After watching the GOP/TP in this debate, I’ve got to say I’ve never seen a party so intent, focused and driven to protect the rich and totally shaft the poor.
I’ve also never seen such incessant reasoning as to why rich Americans and private jet/boat owners need to be protected as I’ve seen coming from conservatives.
Amazing...

I guess one good thing to come out of this mess is that the GOP/TP were DENIED the option they so desperately fought to win – to cut Medicaid and Medicare payments for their own parents and other elderly Americans.

Boehner and his GOP buddies have spent 2 years saying No to everything.
Now his own party is saying No to him.
It's hugely ironic.

PM Kan isn't sleeping at all. He's simple zenning it, and being Japanese, that's totally OK. :-)

The GOP - working as hard as possible to wreck Americans lives and futures.
They did it when the economy tanked under their wach. They continue to ignore the threats of climate change even when twisters wipe entire towns off the map.
And now this.
If it's good for America, you can bet your bottom dollar the GOP will be against it.
The GOP might as well register themselves as a terrorist group, for all it's worth.

Sailwind - "Her quick "Hell Yeah" response to ride with them just shows yet again a total lack of judgement from a backwards hick from Wasilla Alaska who has no business being on the national scene."
I'd agree with you there.

Americans like superlib lose either way:
If there's a strike, Americans like him will ultimately pay for it.
If there's no strike, Americans like him will still ultimately pay for the annula $400 billion giveaway to Israel.

One of the inspiring aspects about Our Sarah is that you can take Sarah out of Wasilla but you can't take the Wasilla out of Our Sarah. :-)

Funny no conservatives are talking about why Our Sarah was on the back of a bike and not riding one.
I'll stab in the back - ehrr.. dark - it's because she can't ride but she's real good at taking others for one. :-)

Heh, it's interesting to read that Our Sarah is milking the attention for everything she can get.
She clearly needs people to think she is considering running for president for as loooong as possible because the moment she announces she isn't, her speaker fees will plummet and she won't be able to command anywhere near as much money to pay off the bills related to all the ethics scandals against her.
The press reported she has hired 2 new staff. Crap. They were old ones that she fired who must have been desperate as hell for a job. They never did much beyond making sure she got to airports and appearances on time - just right when you are pushing your book.
She's touring Washington and the north east - places where people actually have a clue and subsequently hate her. Why would she do that? Because that's where big media is that can help her push her book and media interests.
Has Our Sarah set up any kind of credible campaign infrastructure in Ohio or New Hampshire?
No.
Might she wing it in those states? Possibly, but it would be off the smell of an oily rag.
Would Our Sarah have an ice cube's chance in hell of winning a serious debate about relevant campaign planks against the likes of Tom Pawlenty or Mitt Romney?
Are you kidding? She'll get run over by a bus.
Watch her stretch out the question of her running as long as possible.
Then watch the crash and the tears of all her followers who wake up next morning with a serious case of buyer's remorse.

Will Sarah Palin run?
This clip is fairly long (15 mins) but surprisingly good and very clear.
I've never seen the presenter before but he sounds like a former pastor.

Sailwind, as you know very well I'm always ready for debate.
If only conservatives would - for once - put one up that makes me think first then laugh rather than the other way around.
I'm still waiting.
"That's what liberals do. They shift the subject, ignore the truth and call opponents names."
Shift the subject? Like how conservatives like Sarah Palin always try to shift the subject off her ethics abuses?
Ignore the truth? Like how conservatives are claiming global warming such as we are seeing now is somehow 'natural'?
And call opponents names? You mean like every conservative and their dog chanting 'Obamacare'?
Sail, you really did an EPIC FAIL on that post. :-)

Yabits – “Do intelligent people follow those who are described in the way one of Palin's former confidants has described her?”
Mate, to be brutally honest I think one of the biggest mistakes us liberals make is assuming that conservatives are “intelligent.”
Once you ditch that notion, pretty much everything conservatives do and say makes a heap of sense.
Not meant as a put-down – simply stating an opinion.

Sailwind - "The lady is my opinion is actually pretty smart .."
Sorry pal, a statement like that actually does more to damage your credibility than it does to boost hers.
As I did before the last election, I SUPPORT Our Sarah running.
The more conversations America has with her, the more they will like Obama and the Dems.
Yes, She Can! Gooooooooo Sarah!!!! :-)

Lieberman - "Palin has Obama's number though. Why are we borrowing 20 billion from China to give to a post-Mubarak Egypt where the Muslim Brotherhood are poised to take power???"
The possibility of the Muslim Brotherhood taking some power in Egypt is part of a process called democracy, a concept that the U.S. government supports unless it doesn't.

Foreign guy with the unbuttoned jacket hasn't spoken since he landed.
The few functioning braincells in his unshaven head are thinking: "WHA! All the news I read back home said - WHA! - all of Japan was a contaminated wasteland that - WHA! - has been underwater since the su-nar-mi hit! WHA!"
