Some may recall my initial reaction to the announcement that Palin was McCain's VP choice (as posted on this board) was one of cynicism. I thought it was transparent identity politics--an effort to get unmarried female voters, particularly those who were disgruntled over Hillary's loss. Turned out that was wrong, they never made a serious effort to use Palin in that way, and instead it...

No wonder our country is in trouble. Listen to the responses of some Obama voters - very scary! Kathy : -( http://www.redstate.com/diaries/redstate/2008/nov/ 17/media-m... Kathy

Questions weren't bad. Answers struck the right tone. That's my take, though it took a cast iron stomach to listen in. Tigerhawk thought he struck the right note, too. http://tigerhawk.blogspot.com/2008/11/barack-obama -on-60-min... And with Charlie Rangell talking about a corporate tax cut, we might see a nice bounce in the market tomorrow. Tax cuts for the rich, anyone. Good thing ...

The 17-year-old offender must've thought Leda Smith, an 85-year-old great-grandmother from southwestern Pennsylvania, would be easy prey, but Smith had the one tool that allows the weak to defend themselves against the strong - a firearm. According to police, when Smith heard the suspect forcefully enter the home, she went straight for her .22-caliber revolver and trained it on him. "I ...

From the Obama campaign (also commonly referred to as "The NY Times"): Advisers to both Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama said that they did not expect Mr. McCain to be offered a job in the new administration. Well, duh. You remove people from the Senate who might be a threat to you and your agenda (e.g., Hillary Clinton). You leave people in who can be useful idiots (e.g., John McCain). ...

I think this may become a regular feature here for a while. We'll follow John McCain on his inevitable return to his grovelling ways, sucking up to the liberal media and slamming Republicans while helping to facilitate the Democrat agenda. Today was just the first step, as he met with Barack Obama, do ensure Obama that he will refrain from any criticism of him and help him out just as ...

...This is yet another episode of the Conservative Nanny State, the story of the how the government intervenes in the market to redistribute income from those at the middle and bottom to those at the top.... http://www.cepr.net/index.php/op-eds-columns/op-ed s-columns/... No matter what one's leanings all have to agree this is what has destroyed the Republican party--but real ...

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/bus/co lumnists/s... Maybe I'll unbox our resident liberal trolls so I can read how the free markets got us into this hole. This is the end game for liberal economic policies. I know that they won't want to discuss ideas, philosophies, or consequences, not when you can repeat the daily Kos Kids talking points on how evil the GOP is. ...

... or liberals? Take a guess. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5 iEyLuiVkdd... Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses.

Didn't we do GOD to death with Bush? Now there are those evoking GOD as endorsing Barry's Presidency. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/09/obama.churc hes.ap/ind... "God has vindicated the black folk," the Grammy-winning gospel singer said as a member of the congregation waved an American flag and another marched among the pews blowing a ram's horn.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence...

Hell freaking yeah! Geez, the GOP has been so incompetently led for a long time. Newt would be perfect, and it would be a very reassuring sign to conservatives who have every right to feel like the GOP is giving them the finger. After nominating John McCain, who then ran a toothless campaign against Barack Obama while never pulling punches against fellow Republicans, conservatives ...

In fairness, this is not one of the insane idiotic posts that usually make this feature. But still enough nuggets of silliness to warrant this elevation. http://boards.fool.com/Message.asp?mid=27186734 I can sympathize with a lot of folks on the Right who are now in their second week of funk over the election. I worked for George McGovern, back in 1972. I worked for Walter (* Spit!...
