Palin actually has cleaned up greed in her state.

I suggest you look a bit beyond GOP talking points, unless you simply don't want to know...

I doubt it, after all Palin actually has cleaned up greed in her state.

Last time I checked Jefferson still hadn't been censured for his crimes, and Rangel is still chairman of his committee the one in charge of tax rules and regulations.

I haven't seen Pelosi do anything but utter slogans about cleaning up Washington. But then I knew it was an empty promise back when she made it.

Wow, anjin, do you mean like the endless references by Pelosi

So you are saying that you regard Palin and Pelosi as pretty much the same thing. Ok. Good information.

Kind of makes on think that the endless references to "ending greed and corruption" are strictly a slogan, with no actual conviction behind them.

Wow, anjin, do you mean like the endless references by Pelosi and Gang to "clean up Washington"? Methinks all politicians make careers out of slogans with no actual conviction behind them.

Here's Piper Palin making things a little more clear for her mother. It may be time to keep your eyes open too with the battle hardened 3rd Infantry being staged and trained for civil unrest in Georgia in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

Hmm, I wonder what level of writing the title of the article gets? Observe this excerpt from a quote above, "convoluted statements"; doesn't it seem a little subjective for science? When mediocre is good enough you know your voting in American politics. I bet Palin's husband is enjoying every new hole Biden ripped her. She knows jack about the Federal Government and she doesn't have her facts straight. Biden called her to the table many, many times. And yet, America thinks its a wash? The two party system always controls the masses with the illusion of choice. This author is another sheep aligning with the suicidal views of government policy.

You know I read this sort of rationalising nonsense and I wonder who the heck are we kidding. By signing onto this sort of nonsense we make conservatism, which once used to fight dumbing down, look like total buffoonery. A bit like opposing the bailout and then only passing it when it was larded with pork. Palin was awful. She talks gibberish, I don't care what a linguistics expert says. Every poll, everyone, gave it to Biden by a mile and he increased his favorables while hers went down. Sarah Palin is a banal nonentity who couldn't beat my 16 year old son in a high school debating contest. Reality.

The guys who wrote those snappy pieces, however, could never have done what Ike did:Successfully head the Allied Command or run this country

If you read the things Eisenhower said, there was a great deal of wisdom in them.

Speaking perfect English isn't all that important a leadership trait.
When I was a kid, the press used to post graphs taken from Eisenhower's press conferences, challenging readers to plow thru the mangled syntax and figure out what he'd said.

I am curious. If Palin is old enough to remember the beginning of Biden's career in the Senate, is she also not old enough to remember McCain's junkets to the Bahamas in Charles Keating's private jet? Kind of makes on think that the endless references to "ending greed and corruption" are strictly a slogan, with no actual conviction behind them.

Um Biden also told a whole bunch of whoppers.

Tell me again when we kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon?

Don't you remember - biden was told by everyone that he had to lower his abilities less he look condescending. You can bring in any expert you want - America heard an incoherent woman from Alaska struggle to fill the void of time with catchphrases and talking points while Biden fought against the clock to get in as many ideas as possible - thus the next day attempt by conservative pundents to remind us that actual knowledge does not win debates...

[...] –James Joyner: Amusingly, for all the talk — in these pixels included — about Sarah Palin’s lack of preparedness and Joe Biden’s seasoning, one professional analyst finds that Palin outshone Biden in the vice presidential debate. [...]

Ah, for the advent of a new Calvin Coolidge. At a dinner party, a woman said to him that she had a bet that she could get more than three words out of him. Without looking up from his meal, Coolidge said, "You lose."
