		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Yeah, how&#039;s that aowkring out for you?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Nice duck &amp; cover. Please show me where I have made predictions for the actual Obama administration that were incorrect.

Point is, my predictions for the election were dead-bang on, and yours were a joke.

As for Obama, lets review when we are 18 months in. Right now, he is occupied trying to dig us out of the wreckage of Bush/neocon/con rule. No small task.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;As usual, you see only what you wish to see&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It&#039;s called &#039;the truth&quot;. Your disdain for such is understandable and quite predictable.
 
&lt;blockquote&gt;You really should spend more time reflecting on the election Skippy.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yeah, how&#039;s that aowkring out for you? I mean, aside from 10% unemployment and climbing, aside from countries that were supposed to love is the moment the Obamasiah crossed the threshold of the Oval Office... aside from the quadrupling of debt your guy has loaded on our sholders in the first six months of being in office... aside from job killing legislation....  oh, wait... is there anything this moron has brought that we can celebrate over?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The salient point is the vicious and unrelenting &quot;Kristal Nacht&quot; treatment that they have suffered even after they offer no threat.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Anjin, Interested Party: 

You guys know the drill. Godwin&#039;s Law was violated by Floyd. By rule, Floyd &amp; Co. automatically lose the argument. No need to respond to their tiresome Nazi analogies.

Sorry, Floyd, rules are rules (or laws are laws). You lose.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;You have no idea what my religious faith is nor do you have a clue as to how I feel about abortion so all you are really doing is babbling...speaking of which, if you really believe that people who favor abortion are the same as &quot;Nazis&quot;...well, make sure to let me know who else would actually believe in that argument...&lt;/blockquote&gt;did you vote for Obama, then your support &lt;strike&gt;aborting&lt;/strike&gt; murdering babies, I call liberals Nazi because they foolishly label Hitler a Christian, he was a socialist/evolutionist just like you and your friends, history has meaning and so does what you do, say,believe and support, I attack your indoctrination in many different ways, but in all trueness I wish I was not so much of a uncouth x liberal with my emotions, I will and always apologize for that, but you are  right in the small part you that are right  about me in,  I try hard should stop acting like the wise*** fool of my past, it just thats it&#039;s so hard to be nice to some of you people even that I mostly like and sympathize with  most of you but for different reasons then you would ever want me to.....


so please forgive me for my transgressions against what I know to be the right way to act and respond to whoever, I will try to go away and become more proficient in this.
 I believe that I have become addicted to ******* with you people instead of just talking things out like I tried to do when I first came here.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Oh my, now we have Nazi allusions...forget kitsch, we&#039;re now in bad parody land...yes, G.A.Phillips, there is definitely victimhood going on...although no one can quite top comparing anything that has happened to Sarah Palin and her family to Kristallnacht...I mean, really, when do the war crimes trials start...&lt;/blockquote&gt;I don&#039;t get it,nearing 60 million Americans put to death by the judgment of your religious ideology 100&#039;s of millions around the world from the same....
but yet when I compare you to the Nazi you don&#039;t understand, and thats just one of the many ways you and your friends are similar to them.....

I could go on but you won&#039;t see because you wish not to...but then I have read of a wish that God will grant, guess what it is....</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I’m not sure who her political brain trust is but the idea that resigning as governor — the only significant political office she’s had — after only two years will improve her chances of getting elected president is, to say the least, unconventional.&lt;/i&gt;

Conventional wisdom will need to be modified if the nation doesn&#039;t want to forever block opportunity to seek higher office for politicians from Alaska and Hawaii.

The mean center of the US population is Phelps County, Missouri, so the Governor of Hawaii will require an 8 hour flight from Honolulu to St. Louis, an Alaska Governor will require a 6 hour flight from Anchorage to St. Louis, compared to 90 hours for a flight from Tallahassee, 2 hours from Albany, 3.5 hours from Sacramento or Olympia. Imagine a Virginia Governor having to fly from Richmond to London Heathrow, a 7 hour flight (at 460 kts), in order to advance his campaign while his primary competitors only had to contend with quick little jaunts to each campaign event.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Good thing anjin-san came to your rescue, huh?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Not really, as I needed no one to come to my &quot;rescue&quot;...your analogy speaks for itself...

&lt;blockquote&gt;You know d@^%$d well there was no intent to do any disservice to anyone, and you will not be allowed at this time or ever to be my moral arbiter.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No, the only disservice was to anyone&#039;s intelligence in making such a ridiculous comparison...and how interesting that you feel the need to deny permission to me to be your moral arbiter while at the same time you are sitting in judgment of those who have criticized Palin...

&lt;blockquote&gt; Now, I am willing to move forward without animosity if you are, and will try to keep your sensitivities, real or imagined, in mind to the extent that it doesn&#039;t prevent me from presenting views that oppose yours in the future.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No problem and you needn&#039;t worry about my sensitivities as they have been unharmed in this exchange...I was merely pointing out bullshit when I saw it...have a nice day...  :-)</description>

		<description>OH dear sweet Aip; 
  Good thing anjin-san came to your rescue, huh?
 He helped you with an excuse, any other analogy would have elicited the same response.
The reference was to a mentality and was analogous, had I said &quot;lynch mob&quot; it would have been insensitive to hanging victims as well, after all, no one has been killed! how about &quot;terrorist treatment&quot; ...
too strong of an ANALOGY again.
 Nothing short of &quot;they got what they deserved&quot;, or some other KITSCH, would satisfied you, and you won&#039;t hear it here!

		<description>Oh dear sweet Floyd...you actually compare anything that has happened to Sarah Palin and her family to the murderous actions of the Nazis and then feel the need to advise me about being taken seriously?  I&#039;m sure the irony is lost on you...I guess we need to add projection to your list of ailments...ya know, perhaps sarcasm, adolescent or otherwise, isn&#039;t the appropriate response to such a witless comparison, but rather, complete scorn...</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;though apt&lt;/blockquote&gt;

How is it apt? Do you actually know anything about Kristallnacht? How many members of Palin&#039;s family have been murdered as a result of their religious views or deported to concentration camps? Have her church or home been burned down? I repeat you are doing a disservice to the real victims of the nazis. It is too serious of a thing to be so trivialized. Knock it off.
