OK guys now lets talk conspiracy theory in the JFK assassanation?. Sarah Palin is a phony. Most women can see that. She's
As phony as a fake Kate Spade purse.

Tom seems to think the amount of education one has is indicative of one's intelligence
I said nothing of the kind. In fact I pointed out that Truman (despite his low ratings and lack of a higher degree ) was a very successful President.
You know what I think ; the conventional wisdom the way I read it is that Republicans are stupid no matter who they are (the exception being the intelligent but deviously crooked Nixon) .
Across the board the most successful Republicans are disparaged... Ford ,Reagan ,Clarence Thomas ,GW Bush and now Palin .
And no matter how incompetent Democrats are they are the smartest people on the planet .

Ok... Thanks Tom... John F Kennedy, Bill Clinton, FDR. The only reason I disparage Bush is because he is stupid. Sarah Palin is a phony.
I believe if McCain had chosen a different running mate he would be president today. Joe Biden is a yes man. Cheny was so deeply involved with enron that he should be in prison and he's not a very good hunting buddy. I'm through arguing now. :)

I think the "Fairy Tale " was a book called "Mission Accomplished" written and illustrated by George Bush.

I've heard that he likes "Rules for Radicals" by Saul Alinsky. I know I'll be accused of being a right-wing nutbar, but I've heard it from Maclean's and other respected magazines.

He honestly does read books like "Pilgrims Progress and Profiles in Courage". He read a lot about Eisenhower and FDR also.

Hello earl, right wing nut bar:
IF it's one of his favorites, he sure isn't ACTING like a radical... I was hoping that he actually WOULD act like a radical. But, he hasn't. The things that are MOST important to ME, is the Bush/Cheney Doctrine. Obama embraced it whole hog. It's what I hated about the Bush administration. And, NOTHING has changed...
So, for ME, Obama is a RIGHTWINGER.
Health care?? That, like Bush's prescription drug coverage before, is a GIFT to big pharma. I wanted him to make a one sentence health care - MEDICARE FOR ALL... But, NOO.. He did something else. Do you hear any insurance companies bellyaching about the law?? Nope. Wonder WHY that is?? I don't.
So, Alinsky's book might be one of his favorites, but he ACTS like a rightwinger. What he DOES is more important than what he READS.

I don't agree with the federal government's decision to try and overturn Arizona's immigration policies. PC is going too far. How are states supposed to deal with illegal immigration without using some kind of profiling?

Hello again, earl:
You HIT the nail on the head. States are NOT supposed to deal with immigration issues. In fact, that IS the basis for the lawsuit. The Federal Government should be doing so - not the states. The GOOD thing about the Arizona law, is that it brings the issue to the fore once again...
The problem is, politicians of BOTH stripes are too cowardly to pass comprehensive immigration law. But, we can't have 50 different immigration laws... We just can't. One is hard enough.

You mean like, everyone? If no one believed he had WMD's then what was the UN doing with all those resolutions and stuff before Bush was in Office... like the Clinton years when he made regime change in Iraq official US policy?
OK, that's enough of that :)

Never heard you complain about localities that defy Federal supremacy before when they declared themselves sanctuaries.
