    Dallas, why do you hate Palin so much? Did you abort one of your kids or something? Just asking.

    #21–do ill==why do Repuglican shill operatives characterize any opinion/comment they don’t like as “hate?”

    Why do YOU hate different opinions/comments? Do you have no other colors on your political palette?

    “You are either on my spam issuing alert list or hate everything we stand for.”

    Anyone with an ounce of objectivity, respect for the political center of America recognizes Palin as “aberrant.” Shill.

    Anyone with an ounce of objectivity, respect for the political center of America recognizes the Obama White House’s stage-directing of the press and disdain for ordinary people as “aberrant.”

    More generally, I’ve never seen such hatred in American politics…and while the Right has its bombthrowers, the Left seems to be almost entirely filled with spittle-flecked ranters. It’s not even close. I don’t know anyone on the left who has the slightest compunction about wearing an Obama pin to a job interview, or walking into a party filled with strangers saying “Isn’t it great to have a non-demonic government now?” while conservatives know they can get fired or screamed at and shunned if anyone finds out they don’t worship The One.

    Most ordinary folks simply have given up trying to engage their neighbors on politics. Either they are also generally conservative (like most of the productive workers in this country), or they’re going to start screaming that you’re a fascist and try to get you shunned by the rest of the neighborhood.

    I’m moving to another country in August for a 2 year assignment…if I like it I’m not coming back. You guys have the whole sandbox now, and we’re no longer wanted, so enjoy.

    No whining if you’re not in Paradise in 8 years…if Obama’s really all that and a bag of chips, nothing can stop you now that Al Franken has joined the party.

    #23 Tell us which country and maybe we can tell you what you might find.

    #24, no thanks. Don’t want it to get crowded.

    I’ve spent a few weeks there and know several people who have relocated there in the last few years. Lower standard of living, but good safety and health care and a LOT more day-to-day freedom (many fewer lawyers) than the US.

    there is to much BULL SPIT going on in government.

    A person from india asked me about the corruption in getting things done, in INDIA.
    I told him it was the same here.
    He inquired HOW that could be..
    I told him, we tax it, license it, regulated it, INSPECT it and charge for every part of this. Then make it LAW. then add property tax.
    He agreed that it was JUST as bad.

    Look up Socrates.
    those that know Who/what/when/where/how/why of the government, dont like the job. So, we must contend with those that WANT the job and have less skills or have other agendas.

    Helen Thomas ‘Do you think the media is stupid?’

    Robert Gibbs ‘Yes, since they made you their leader.’

    I see their point to some extent but there’s always going to be someone who’s question doesn’t get asked based on time. You wouldn’t want one group monopolizing. Maybe they need some third like the college to select a set that makes sure everything gets touched on like in the debates.

    Who actually expected this administration to be better than the last one?

    Patrick, it’s impssible for it to be worse than the last one. Hitler would not be worse than the last one.

    Ok, I take it back…if Obama decides to launch all the US ICBMs straight up and let them come down and nuke us 50 times over, it would be worse. Other than that. it cannot possibly be worse.

    If people like you would join Obama in rebuilding the country, we’d be well on our way. But if you keep throwing wrenches into the works by spreading cynicism and suspicion, it’s not going to get better.

    Naw, just start by creating even bigger deficits than Bush while at the same time continuing a stupid unwinnable war.

    Hmm, sounds like Obama is WELL on his way.
