    Game Change
    Hello:

    Didja see it? Sarah Palin was treated fairly sympathetically, I thought. She didn't wind up looking so good, but she'd already been chewed up and spit out.

    Course, I'm a fair minded fellow. Some of you might have a different critique of the movie.. In fact, I expect you will. In your responses, though, please tell me if you SAW the movie, and are speaking first hand.. I can read the right wing emails myself.

    Nope, I just canceled my HBO last week. I really don't care to subsidize Bill Maher's career any more.

    Hello again, Steve:

    Speaking of right wing women, you quote Ann Coulter in your signature.. You KNOW she thinks women should NOT be allowed t vote, because when they do, they largely vote Democrat.. She said so in a debate against left winger, MSNBC's Laurence O'Donnell.

    Quote:

    “Ann believes that none of you should be allowed to vote, believes and has written that the voting age should be raised to 26,” O'Donnell said in a menacing voice.

    “Yeah when you pay for your own health insurance,” Coulter reiterated.

    “She said you people are not smart enough to vote. She has also said — told the British press — that women in this country, and this is very self-sacrificing of her, should not be allowed to vote. She was asked by the Guardian in 2003, 'Who shouldn't have the vote' and I am going to quote word for word here so there is no confusion, answer, and this is a quotation: 'It's true. It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 – except Goldwater in '64 – the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted,'” O'Donnell quoted Coulter.

    “Would you miss voting?” Senso asked Coulter.

    “If the rest of my gender doesn't vote I wouldn't miss it at all,” she said to boos.
    Is that something you subscribe to? Doesn't it sound, suspiciously, like a WAR ON WOMEN??

    All I said was Obama is still running against Palin. I find that odd seeing as how she isn't a candidate.

    Hello again, Steve:

    He's not running against her, per se, but against the right wing attitude she displayed, that MILLIONS of wingers subscribe to. You may be one of them. Santorum and Gingrich certainly are.

    I DO agree with you, though. This particular campaign season IS extremely odd - and it's going to get odder.

    If I can get 'Game Change ' on a non-premium channel then I'll probably watch it . Currently I only subscribe to next to basic service ;and even then I feel ripped off by the government approved monopoly.

    Here is Palin's reply to the President's ad :

    Let's Talk About the Real Issues, Mr. President

    By Sarah Palin

    Monday, March 12, 2012 at 6:41pm ·

    The far Left continues to believe American voters are not smart enough to grasp the diversionary tactics it employs to distract us from the issues our President just doesn't want to talk about – issues that affect us all every day and must be addressed.

    Exhibit A in these diversionary tactics is an absurd new attack ad President Obama has released taking my comments out of context. I'm not running for any office, but I'm more than happy to accept the dubious honor of being Barack Obama's “enemy of the week” if that includes the opportunity to debate him on the issues Americans are actually concerned about. (Remember when I said you don't need a title to make a difference?)

    Just off the top of my head, a few of these concerning issues include: a debt crisis that has us hurtling towards a Greek-style collapse, entitlement programs going bankrupt, a credit downgrade for the first time in our history, a government takeover of the health care industry that makes care more expensive and puts a rationing panel of faceless bureaucrats between you and your doctor (aka a “death panel”), $4 and $5 gas at the pump exacerbated by an anti-drilling agenda that rejects good paying energy sector jobs and makes us more dependent on dangerous foreign regimes, a war in Afghanistan that seems unfocused and unending, a global presidential apology tour that's made us look feeble and ridiculous, a housing market in the tank, the longest streak of high unemployment since World War II, private-sector job creators and industry strangled by burdensome regulations and an out-of-control Obama EPA, an attack on the Constitutional protection of religious liberty, an attack on private industry in right-to-work states, crony capitalism run amok in an administration in bed with their favored cronies to the detriment of genuine free market capitalism, green energy pay-to-play kickbacks to Obama campaign donors, and a Justice Department still stonewalling on a bungled operation that armed violent Mexican drug lords and led to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people.

    I'm sure I missed a few things, but the list is just for starters. Along with millions of others, I'm willing and free to discuss these issues with the President anywhere, anytime; and I'm sure any of the four patriots currently running for the GOP nomination would also welcome the opportunity to talk about the problems everyday Americans face due to the abject failure of our current administration's policies. The President will dismiss all of these problems by saying, “Well, uh, 'change isn't easy.'” But considering that candidate Obama promised to turn back the waters and heal the planet, the American people had at least a reasonable expectation that, at the bare minimum, he wouldn't bankrupt our country.

    This latest ad is quite odd, but also quite telling. It shows that our President sure seems fearful of discussing the economy, energy prices, and all the other problems people need addressed. And intended or not, now that his ad opens up the discussion of Barack Obama's radical past associations and the radical philosophy that shaped his ideas about his promised “fundamental transformation” of our country, I welcome the media to join ordinary Americans in finally vetting Barack Obama. The media failed to do so in 2008 to the detriment of us all. Maybe this time around they can do their job.

    Ex I anit impressed with the Obama ad. She has been in the libs head for 4 years now. It is vey unlikely that she will be the candidate and yet he makes her the focus of a fundraising ad .

    The Obots completely took her statement out of context by flashing single words from her statement to make it appear like she was endorsing the very things she was accusing the President of doing .

    In other words, Obama isn't responsible for any of those failures. It must be Bush's fault, who is probably the subject of the next attack ad by the Obots.

    Hello Steve:

    High gas prices? The debt? Of course not. BUSH made TWO wars and didn't pay for them.. Then BUSH gave the richest of the rich a TAX CUT which added TRILLIONS to the debt... Now, you, of the right wing persuasion, can PRETEND that didn't happen. But, SOME of us have memories.

    The rest of her screed is old and tired right wing blather. Obama is SMART to take advantage of her.
