The Democrats are not yet ready to start handling the hard problems. They would rather let the Republicans tell the country what the solutions are and then use that against them in elections.Quote:

Joe Biden said FDR got on TV and addressed the nation 30 years before the TV was invented and he called Barak Obama, "Barak America" and he said "jobs" is a 3 letter word.Quote:

Palin actually said, "They're our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska."
(shows how effective ridicule can be... it blurs fiction from reality)
I just went looking for dumb Palin quotes. The only legitimately dumb quote that I could find was this one: "But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies." The rest of them are either manufactured to make her seem dumb or SNL skits. She has said so much over the past 3 years, whether it be as a VP candidate on the road or in VP debates, or as a Fox News contributor, or in her reality show. If she were truly dumb, there would be much more proof.
The truth is the elites in both parties look down on her because of her education and the fact that she's just a soccer mom who achieved great success in a short time. Politics is for the Ivy League folks. The rest of us are just a bunch of Homer Simpsons to them.

Sounds to me that the republicans are the ones that are not ready to solve the big problems.

Healthcare, like a majority of thngs, is not something the government is supposed to have their hands in except for some very specific regulatory aspects. Definitely not on the scale it is going to do if the bill stands up in court. Healthcare is not a right.Quote:

Paul Revere warning the British didn't do it for you? And then trying to justify it? She baled on being governor of a state. That's all I need to know. What would she do when it got hot in the White House.
You have to earn your way. I'm not a "have", but I work my ass off trying to make it look like I am and still do it within my means.Quote:

[quote=oledawg66;1086162]Nah... Revere did warn the British. She did say he was shooting guns and rining bells, but she was close enough. It was really not a story...just the press obsessing over her again.Quote:

The teapublicans have failed this country.
