For Obama and the liberal democrats, Palin IS Goldstein. The ref is Orwell’s “1984”.

This website republishes more articles from Liberal than conservative sources. Why do you think that is?

She had many an opportunity to really sock the guy, but didn’t because she has class.

Ms. Palin represents exactly the kind of culturally conservative critique of Mr. Obama that her Washington colleagues would like very much to play down at the moment. Her grievances are based less in the particulars of policy than they are in the caricatures and cultural divisions of the last political era effete Easterners versus rugged Westerners, wine-drinkers versus beer-pounders, Ivy League lawyers versus Bible-brandishing activists. I have to wonder, when was the last time the author of this piece visited flyover country? Or even ventured outside of Manhattan? Never?

Sarah Palin should announce her candidacy for President and officially request Secret Service Protection ... this would put the crazy leftists in a tizzy...

...it seems that the president now has, in Ms. Palin, something he badly needed after a punishing election season: the ideal political foil. that's what a President needs? a political foil? Not the country doing better?
the Libs don't even try to pretend anymore that they want the country to do better.
To: Nachum
Oh, yeah let’s all listen to the NYSlimes.

This website republishes more articles from Liberal than conservative sources. Why do you think that is? The people here are interested in the comments and analysis from FReepers. It puts things in perspective.

dream on Obama As well as the NYT

What is it Rush says . . . Sarah Palin living rent free in the liberals’ heads.
To: Nachum
The nyt is continuing its slobbering sloppyness. Given the fairly even divide in the USA, the reverse is also true: Palin benefits from having brack obama as a foil.

It laughable how they always have to include how much money she makes. Do they do that for anyone else? Yeah I didn't think so. Personally after what she has put up with from these bottom-feeders I hope she makes lots of money and rubs it in the face of every liberal (and barbara bush) pondscum she runs into. But hey thats just me.
Actually if you think about if she gets $250,000 per episode and over 3 million people watch it and just 1/3 of the people buy a product that was advertised they made a killing uh oops I mean alot of money by advertising on her show.

This website republishes more articles from Liberal than conservative sources. Why do you think that is?Because, to get intellectually stronger, you must consider your opponent's arguments and see if they have merit. If the buffoons at the NY Times are the cream of the crop of our opponents, we have nothing to fear.
To: ak267
She’s irrelevant. She’s unelectable. Her political career is over. She’s not too bright. She needs to bone up on policy. Her reality show isn’t very Presidential. She needs to tone down the hateful rhetoric. She injected herself into the Arizona shooting. In short, she continues to live rent-free in their heads...I love it!
