And Palin is the deceitful, vengeful one?

Two concluding thoughts. Dave, the last time I saw straw men this big, Christopher Lee was burning Edward Woodward in one. And second, win or lose, if you don’t think Sarah Palin and her supporters are going to be a factor in the 2012 campaign, you’re simply not dealing with reality.

‘Read Sun Tzu, The Art of War...Every battle is won BEFORE it’s ever fought. Think about it. You’re not as smart as I thought you were, Buddy. You know why fund managers can’t beat the S&P 500? Because their sheep...and sheep get slaughtered. I’ve been in this business since ‘69. Most of these Harvard MBA’s don’t add up to dogshit. Give me guys who are poor, smart, and hungry...and no feelings. You win a few, you lose a few, but you keep on fighting...And if you want a friend...get a dog.’
—Wall Street

Frum was also a big Obamacare supporter and attacked conservatives to help get it passed. He’s just sold-out RINO scum, a communist who thinks it doesn’t show. :: shrug :: Whatever. He’s irrelevent.

David needs a cerebral examination from a Proctologist!

Please, can you arrange to take this dolt and transport him to some US territory somewhere in another hemisphere please?

I have just the place for him here.

Somewhat serious...I do figure she is competent enough to occupy the office, and I like her attitude. The outrage by the progressiviks and their friends is a good reason for me though- since I will probably never see such trash dangling from ropes as they deserve, watching them go apoplectic would have to do.

For the first time ever women's vote went to the GOP in 2010, with Sarah being the GOP’s biggest voice.

Frum is nuts.
