The Republicans STILL don't get it!

Sarah Palin is one of the most divisive politicians to appear on the national political scene in many years. That is something that McCain will have to live with for the rest of his life.

Sarah Palin is also ethically-challenged and a liar, as we've noted many times.

The Miami Herald's blog, Naked Politics, has this:

Crist in 2012?

A poll of 1,000 Republican likely voters for Rasmussen Reports finds Gov. Charlie Crist trailing Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney on a list of potential 2012 Republican presidential nominees.

The results were Palin at 64 percent; follow by 12 percent for Mike Huckabee; 11 percent for Romney; 4 percent for Louisiana guv Bobby Jindal; 2 percent for Crist and just 1 percent for Tim Pawlenty.


Sixty-four percent for Sarah Palin? Sixty-four percent want Sarah Palin after this election where Palin and her party were soundly trounced and she was outed as a serial liar and con artist?

I'd say "Bring her on!" That would ensure that Obama would be reelected!

The Republicans STILL don't get it!

Palin, God and the White House (& medical records)

Just what we need - one more christianist freak who talks to an imaginary deity who in turn tells the christianist what to do - like run for president, or invade a sovereign nation, or beat up on poor people!

Help!

In an interview with FOX News, Palin the prevaricator, said she didn't know what she'd do in 2012, that it was too far away.

"I can't predict what's going to happen a day from now, much less four years from now," said the liar from Alaska.

But she thinks or hopes that her deity will show her the way.

"You know, I have - faith is a very big part of my life. And putting my life in my creator's hands -- this is what I always do.

"I'm like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I'm like, don't let me miss the open door. Show me where the open door is.

"Even if it's cracked up a little bit, maybe I'll plow right on through that and maybe prematurely plow through it, but don't let me miss an open door.

"And if there is an open door in 12 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I'll plow through that door."


But first, dear Sarah, like, couldn't you learn how to speak without sounding like, well, you know, like a goofy teenager?

And, like, please tell your deity to slam the door shut tight, 'cause you have a way of seeing doors that aren't open. Evidently you didn't see that the door was closed in 2008, and maybe that's why your deity didn't help you beat Obama, even with all your "prayer warriors" interceding mightily for months that your deity put you a heartbeat away!

Forget about 2012. I already talked with Zeus and he said there's no way! You're too big a liar, plus you're connected with those really crazy witch hunter Pentecostal movements who are trying to take over the world and redistribute the wealth!

And why the hell do you say you have released your medical records when you have NOT done so? A page and a half from your doctor saying you're in good health doth not a medical release record make!

Unpack for good, Palin, 'cause we've had enough of Repugnican liars littering up the streets of Washington!

The Repugs still don't get it!


Already, Repugnican pols are positioning themselves for a run at the presidency in 2012.

Names being floated in the cesspool of Repugnican politics include Bobby Jindal, the born-again Catholic exorcist creationist governor of Louisiana; the ignorant and ethically-challenged Sarah Palin, of whom we've had way too much in the past few months; and the serial adulterer, destroyer of all that was potentially good in the Republican Party, Newt Gingrich.

What this tells us is that the Republican Party is destitute and poverty-stricken when it comes to capable leadership.

It also tells us that the Republican Party, even after the resounding defeat by the "liberal" Senator Barack Obama, still doesn't get it!

The floated names are "cultural warriors," right-wing christianists, and political charlatans who have nothing to offer but the same old failed conservatism of the past, and who would lead us right back into the swampy mire that has characterized the Bush/Cheney administration!

The Repugs still don't get it!

Obama's America circa 2012 by Dobson & Co.

Just when you think the extremist Christian right can't possibly sink any lower into the slime, a "Letter from 2012 in Obama's America" arrives on the Net.

The "letter" is a pretend look into the future after four years of an Obama presidency. It is written and published by James Dobson's Focus on the Family Action. FOFA is a separate corporation from Focus on the Family, so they can legally get by with this kind of bullshit.

Much of the letter is standard extremist Christian crap -- the Supreme Court will legalize gay marriage, and homosexuality will be taught to little bitty kids in the public schools, and abortion will also be legalized, and the poor Christians in America will lose their freedom to enact their hatefilled laws on all citizens.


The letter begins with a maudlin ode to the Star Spangled Banner, which the writer "can hardly sing ... any more." He/she just tears up and gets a lumpy throat when he/she hears those words about the land of the free and home of the brave!

For "true" Christies, things have gone downhill in four years. In 2012, the Supreme Court has been stacked with ultra-liberal, non-Christian judges who believe in making the law instead of interpreting the law.

That means same-sex marriage is OK everywhere. Oh, and the Boy Scouts have disbanded they were being forced to hire gay scoutmasters who had to sleep in tents with the young lads.

Elementary schools have been compelled to train their kiddos "in varieties of gender identity." Beginning in first grade! Christians can't home school anymore and they have no say in the public schools. Most "true" Christians have left the teaching profession. Can't say the Pledge of Allegiance any more, either; in fact, "under god" has been taken out of the pledge.

Adoption agencies are forced to place children with gay families. Business with government contracts have to hire gays. You can't say anything against gays on the air waves or from the pulpit or you might be put in jail!

Abortions are rampant since they've been made legal. Infants "can be killed outright just seconds before they [are] born." Doctors and nurses had fled the medical profession rather than be forced to participate in killing babies.

No more guns. No more home schooling.

Obama "has been reluctant to send our armed forces to any new overseas commitment." Al-Qaeda has taken over Iraq. The U.S. has suffered two terrorist attacks. Russia has invaded, occupied and re-taken "several Eastern European countries.

In Latin America, Prez. Obama has strengthened ties and trade agreements with commie nations.

Tel Aviv was mostly destroyed in a nuclear attack by Iran.

Health care is down the tubes because it's now run by the government and there are long waits for treatment. "Euthanasia is becoming more and more common."

Obama's tax policies made the deficit grow much larger and he spent so much money we couldn't afford to cut taxes. We have decreased production and increased inflation and unemployment.


Ah, hell, this goes on and on. What it does, I think, is show the depth of depravity of the Christian extremists. They will, literally, say and/or do just about anything to stop Obama from winning this election. Truth matters not at all. They claim Obama is not a "real" Christian because he believes that people might be able to come to god outside of the Christian faith. Hell, the Catholic church believes that!

This "letter" almost makes me believe in a devil. He or she couldn't do any more damage to our national well-being or to the character of the CHRISTIAN Barack Obama than this so-called "Christian" letter.

Evil is as evil does. Focus on the Family Action is evil.
