Posted: 11/6/2009 2:19:09 PM | Match,
I stand corrected in that she did withdraw from the race. I figured that if her name was on the ballot, she was in the race. Apparently there wasn't enough time to reprint the ballots.
I labeled her as part of the Right because she was on the Republican ticket. She must identify with the Right if she ran as a Republican. I'm sure had she made it to Washington she would have supported Republican bills.
I agree Doug Hoffman has catapulted his way to the forefront of the Conservative movement with his showing in that election. His only downfall is that he's as interesting as Bobby Jindhal. That doesn't mean anything. Just saying, he's as exciting as maple dripping from the tree. | |

Your basic libtard thinks if government is not bringing them the goods daily they can act like an NBA fan after winning the big one, burn down the town and turn over cars.
Pure class. | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 3:22:48 PM | I think that blowing the dust off of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments would help turn things around in a big way.
Tenth Amendment
http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2009/02/09/state-sovereignty-movement-quietly-growing/
As things stand right now it looks like Oklahoma, Washington, Hawaii, Missouri, Arizona, New Hampshire, Georgia, California, Michigan and Montana will all definitely consider sovereignty bills this year. They may be joined by Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Alaska, Kansas, Alabama, Nevada, Maine and Pennsylvania where legislators have pledged to introduce similar bills. Twenty states standing up to the federal government and demanding a return to constitutional principles is a great start, but it remains to be seen whether legislatures and governors are brave enough or angry enough to follow through. As the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress push for more expansion of federal power and spending that may help provide the motivation needed for the sovereignty movement to take off. | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 3:44:15 PM | Wow GC, another personal attack from someone raised with no respect for others. Your parents must be proud to see how disrespectful you are. I do question your morals, integrity and dignity. I laugh when I read your posts and pretend you know something about me. You're the type who give the USA their bad name around the world. You're a bully and feel entitled to express your will on others. Been single long? How many times have you been divorced? More than once I'm sure.
Oh yeah Mr. Know It All, I'm not on any type of governmental support.
Wait, what made you disrespect me like that? Was it because your beloved Republican Party is falling apart and I made mention of it?  Poor Resukitagain isn't going to have a party after the 2012 election. Awe.  I'll call you a wambulance. | |

When Scozzafava withdrew from the upstate NY Congressional race she asked people to vote for the Democrat since she felt the other man was way to conservative.
Know many Republicans like Tom Campbell here in CA who was our Congressman and is now a professor at Stanford University, who was and is moderate. Same with Meg Whitman former CEO of eBay. Both are running to be the Republican candidate for Governor. Moderate on social issues and conservative on fiscal issues.

First, thanks for acknowledging the oversight--good debaters always do. You're right that Scozzafava would have been expected to support the party line as a first-year Reprsentative, whether she thinks of herself as a Republican or not.
I also agree as to Hoffman and Jindal. Of course, Gov. Palin is the very opposite of that, which will make her a very strong candidate--if she ever really bears down and develops her knowledge of foreign affairs. She should talk with people like Henry Kissinger, James Baker, and John Bolton, for starters, and with private experts on Russia, China, Korea, Iran, Venezuela, the Middle East, and so forth. People who watched her as governor say she's a very smart lady, and I'm sure she could inform herself. | |

You libtards are pure trash with your political and social views and only a Stockholm Syndrom suicide candidate would imagine you can negotiate with free lunchers.I would no more show respect to a Dem than I would a member of the KKK, ACORN, an avowed Marxist or anyone involved ina criminal enterprise.
Glad to clear that up for you. | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 4:09:06 PM | Match,
I disagree that Palin will make a strong candidate. I don't think she will make it out of the primaries personally. She will take center stage, as Guiliani did, as the most popular person in the room. The media will fixate on her every word, both left and right. I think the media will find the chinks in her armor. I personally think Romney is more polished than she is to handle the debates. There was a large calling for Romney over McCain. Just not large enough apparently. Jindhal will be the wildcard in my opinion.
Did you say something GC? I smell something foul. It must be coming from you. | |

PH, I didn't know about these. Thanks for the info. BTW, glad you liked the video on the Frankfurt School.
I'm all for these movements, and they may help a reasonable facsimile of Ronald Reagan to emerge. My guess is that the closest we'll come to him is Sarah Palin. She has the right instincts, the determination, and the intelligence. Her speech at the Republican Convention last year showed she's a natural. But she needs to learn a lot more about foreign policy and get some more experience--maybe as someone's Secretary of State for a few years.
I couldn't agree more about the 9th and 10th Ams., but this Court's not likely to feel much pressure to breathe new life into them until the political mood of the country has already shifted quite a bit. These sovereignty bills sound like another sign a conservative revolt may be starting. You're right that what this administration's doing is doing a lot to help that revolt catch fire.
Incidentally, thinking of Reagan and the bumbling old dodo his enemies tried to make him out, two things come to mind. First, there's the interview with him I saw at the Reagan Library, in which he talked about a private foreign diplomatic mission a President once asked him to carry out, and all his thinking about it. It shows how sophisticated, wise, and yet hard-nosed he was. Very impressive. (If you haven't been to that Library, do yourself a favor and go.)
Second, there's an interview with William Buckley late in his life, where he talked about different public figures. When he recalled how he'd had his hands full discussing some issue or other with Reagan, he said--in a quick, offhand way--"Of course, he was always a very skilled debater." Buckley, admitting that one on one, Reagan had given him all he wanted--and then some. | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 5:04:54 PM | That's true fzr. The main difference is the Democrats have a set leader of their party where the (R) and (C) parties are in need of a voice and a face to match it to. They have leaders, but no one in particular is running it. C'mon, is Steele all that popular in everday America?
Ive got a question,. If Palin runs on the Conservative ticket, can Republicans keep her from their debates during the pirmaries? Would they welcome her? | |

Does a penis cause rape? Let's regulate all of the men and put them all in locked chastity belts so they will unable to rape anyone.
This is pretty outrageous.
I knew there was no way CalBoomerGirl was an educator. I'm 100% convinced she's sitting there with a tin foil hat on. | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 8:12:21 PM | Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico was in my view the best qualified of the Democrats, because he is a Governor, has been a Senator, UN Ambassador, Energy Secretary. His father was anglo from Pasadena CA and his Mother was born in Mexico but became a citizens decades ago, so Governor Richardson is Hispanic. And being Governor of NM he deals with illegals. These are excellent qualifications along with being very moderate and not some extremist.
As for Palin she looks good on camera, but she is not well informed like many many many Republican women. One need not have a college degree to be informed, articulate and be able to answer questions from those who may want to trip you up. Will be interesting to see if in her new book Ms Palin says anything about trying to stand up to McCains people when they wanted her to do something she didnt want to do, but she went along. Like standing up when the RNC spent money on new clothes. Instead of letting her dress as she does, which is just fine!!
Jon Stewart's Show does the funniest question segments with folks from all sides, and I love it when someone gets it and knows how to play along.

You wouldn't classify someone that teaches teachers as an educator? Yeah, it's too bad I'm probably the most sarcastic person here. That wasn't taken out of context at all, it was a failed attempt at trying to show people how silly YOU think gun control is. And a ridiculous attempt at that.
Sheesh! | |

Match, I think the upcoming financial crisis will provide the impetus for States to fight for their sovereignty. They will want to opt out of the never ending national debt to save their own states. | |

Posted: 11/6/2009 9:01:42 PM | In reference to Wildsocali:
I did not think my analogy about controlling the penis to stop rape was silly at all. Funny, yes, but not silly. I was just trying to make the point that with every crime, no matter what the instrument that is used in the perpetration of that crime, the problem is not with the weapon or instrument. The problem is in the minds of the sickos who commit the crimes, whether it is reckless driving, rape, stabbing or gunfire. Legislation will NOT control sick minds or those who prefer the criminal life over being a law abiding citizen. You can control guns all you like, it will not stop crimes or acts of violence from being committed by guns. Gun control is a knee-jerk, media driven reaction against a symptom, rather than against the cause of the problem.
You are entitled to your opinion, just like I am. That is what is great about the USA.
PS. Read my profile.. I conduct financial planning seminars. I guess you could call me an educator, but most equate that term with being a school teacher. | |

"Well a little mistakey, as if anyone is perfect. "
Little? Oh, my, I do hope that was tongue in cheek. Too often Sarah P did worse on answers than those Leno would ask questions of on the street. I don't want those street people in federal congress or presidency either. Then again, maybe it is those who fail Leno's street questions that can't seem to figure out that being more internationally informed than Sarah P is essential to the role. Can't figure out that she is totally unqualified for the job. worst mistake McCain made. | |

Posted: 11/7/2009 2:38:37 AM | Palin is the charasmatic person the (R)/ (C) would need to counter Obama's charisma. (I'm kinda giggling, but role with me here) Palin is more interesting than than any of the potential Republican candidates. Palin has a book, a connection with America already via her high profile and is easily marketable to women.
Match has the best advice for her:
<div class='quote'>She should talk with people like Henry Kissinger, James Baker, and John Bolton, for starters, and with private experts on Russia, China, Korea, Iran, Venezuela, the Middle East, and so forth.
Match, why did you leave out Powell and Condi yet include Bolton? Please...race aside. That's not where I'm going. Simply a question here. | |
