Palin Gears Up The Midterm Machine

Thanks Adam! Two links to Mark Halperin’s take on Palin in one day. My cup runneth over.

I don’t see that last quote as all that remarkable so as to invite commentary like “relishing the martial language”.
.
Interesting that there is not much on the Cantor threat. Why is it when Dems (and the guy was an Obama supporter) threaten the GOP it just isn’t news, but let Clyburn fabricate a story about the n-word . . . .
.
Speaking of political assassinations, it’s not like Dems have always been so opposed to them–remember, old John “Three Scratches and I’m Outie” Kerry was present when the assassination of US Senators was bandied about at a Winter Soldier meeting.
.

I look forward to seeing Sarah on the stump all summer long. More chances for the dimwit to say something stupid.

As to the Cantor threat a diary denouncing it and wishing eric Cantor well has been on the Rec list over at DKos all day. It been a front page post a coupe of times over at TPM as the story has developed and on the front page at Huff.

Not all politicians can speak Austrian or misquote Churchill by trusting that noted historian, Andrew Sullivan.

This woman seems to be fascinated with only one other thing besides herself: war metaphors. She is not only a loose cannon, she talks like one as well. Lets not forget that on her facebook page there is a map of congress men that need to defeated next November. She posted their names, addresses and used a rifle scope to indicate their place on the map. I think the “martial language” is well deserved.

I know how you feel. I wish he would give a warning to Halprin and Politico links.

Wow, the dKos taking the high ground . . . . but remember this is the guy, when informed that four ex-servicemen had been murdered in Fallujah, who said “Screw ‘em”. Moreover, i dont recall that the dKos was all that worked up about John Kerry being soft on the assassinations of US Senators.

Wow carolanne, you sure can read a lot into things.

In Palin’s case she can’t even speak english coherently. She’s excellent at valley girl slang even if it’s a little highbrow for her.

I’m sure that palin knows that Illinois and Kentucky share a border though–unlike Barack Obama.
.
OT, here’s video of charming Harry Reid supporters:
.
http://www.foundingbloggers.com/wordpress/2010/03/breaking-video-reid-supporters-throwing-eggs-and-assaulting-andrew-breitbart/

Sarah’s been to both countries. They’re a part of her international experience.

When will she find the time? Doesn’t she have a new Alaskan reality show to attend to? And Fox appearances? And isn’t the paperback version of her book coming out? Plus she’s got to stay on top of the Israeli/Palestinean conflict. And she’s picking out people to put crosshairs on. And Facebook updates. And she hasn’t let go of her full blown feud with Levi. Somewhere in there she supposedly has a toddler. And two other minor children. Whew, that’s a full plate.

Thank God she’s got friends and near-relatives in Alaska with meth labs. Mother’s little helpers don’t cha’ know.

Sarah has a reality show. It’s a cross between Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillys and Funniest Home Videos.

spob, just between us, whispered in the dark of night, you can admit it: you can be proudly conservative and still know Andrew Breitbart is a douche. Donald Trump douche. P Diddy douche. Ryan Seacrest douche. … yeah, he is.

The way a certain commenter throws out chaff, I’m waiting for a single post that contains six unrelated distractions. That might represent a personal best.

I’m not sure I can throw six unrelated distractions all in one post.

“Interesting that there is not much on the Cantor threat”
.
There is nothing on the Weiner’s office being evacuated, either.
.
Their both Jewish. They are both members of congress. They both had death threats.
.
The NYPD has in it’s office the letter and the fake poison and know that the threat was real.
.
Richmond Police have determined that the office, unmarked outside of Cantor’s district was fired randomly from half a mile away.
.
It is interesting spob, how you are so eager to say “me too” for the Republicans when there is nothing to compare it to.

.

Oh, you are about to get such a chiding!

Me, Paul or He Who Shall Not Be Named?

Not sure why spob wants to continue hugging that particular box of warm rocks…

You know, spob, why don’t you, instead of saying “us too” or who else is dumb, find something good to say about Sara Palin?
.
Either that or, like Democrats do for Democrats, admit that some Republicans are funny and dumb.
.
You saw me and some other Democrats slam on Dennis Kucinich (even though it is not a lack of intellect but some of the over the top conclusions he comes to).
.
Spob, even though the swamp is of no consequence, do you see any difference, yourself, from rooting for Republicans to rooting for your local sports team – you love them only because they are your local sports team?
.
You’re not that fun when you are so predictable.

nibblybits, you forgot to mention that she is a bonafide Faux News contributor too..
.
Who said the dimwitted cannot multi-task..

Maybe some Twilight?
.
Don’t forget the ghoulish Thanksgiving day greetings…

Nevertheless sacred, spob is sure she knows those two nations share a border.
.
What spob didn’t say is with whom…

“I’m sure that palin knows that Illinois and Kentucky share a border though–unlike Barack Obama.”
.
So you’re saying that Obama drops a sign in a set of multiple tensor equations and Sara got (2 + 3 = 5) right?
.
Right?
.
Okaaaaaaaayyyyy…

53_3, I have to admit that I’m really entertained by Sarah. I think she’s a dimwit, dangerous and Anti-American, but she does have the cult of celebrity about her. I don’t think she’s a flash-in-the-pan either. She’s going to be around for a long time and has the ability to rally both sides.
.
There are still a couple of guys at work that claim that Sarah “has us on the run” and they’re serious. They want her to be the face of the republican party and so do I. For different reasons obviously.

Dirks,
.
Some high, rank trollery, ain’t it? Sadder yet, if you surf through the comments over the last few days, is the overwhelming attn. paid our resident rightists.

How’s the little one doing? Congratulations on WVU’s making the Final Four too.

That YouTube video is one of my favorites. I like her too, but for apolitical reasons…

Oops. Sacred.
.
See 5.3.
.
That is, if the jackalope doesn’t git ya first…

I figured Dirks was going to get a Stern Talking To for daring to question Serious Commentator and Legal Expert Spob.
.
If it happens, there’s a 90% chance that the Talking To will include the word “whatever.”

Sacred,
.
Said little one blessed us with her first belly-laugh yesterday. We were parked in a car outside our version of a Home Depot–for 10 minutes, the car was rolling with laughter.
.
As for WVU, thanks. I was in Anaheim when they lost to Utah in the Sweet 16 in ’98. My heart was ripped out and shat upon when Louisville beat ‘em in the Elite 8 in ’05. Just getting to the F4 is sweet enough. If we beat Duke, it’s icing

Sarah Palin is a very dangerous person. Her lack of knowledge of history emboldens her misuse of economic turmoil to stir the emotions of a frustrated populace. These are the first indicators of fascism at work – Similar to the economic troubles of Germany in the 1920′s – which gave rise to Adolph. ………

http://thefiresidepost.com/2010/03/29/the-threat-of-fascism-in-21st-century-america/

Oh god not you again.

Proto-fascist possibly would fit best.
.
When welfare reform forbade anybody born outside of the United States, even if they moved here an infants or as a very young child, the very first toe of fascism had gotten it’s foot in the door.
.
I had parents – one alive one passed on – who were around in the conservative fabled 1950s and, even though one was conservative, neither saw it as an amazing time or even better than the present.
.
The real 1950s did have a strong religious life, but not that much more so than today. It, also, upsetting the conservative dream, was the high point for organized labor.
.
I see the Tea Party going one of two ways:
1) When Democrats gain seats in this election or, at least do not lose any significant number, they may turn very violent.
2)As the result of the same, they may just get embarrassed, go back to their suburban lives and churches and stay out of politics.

Cliff,
is this a blogwhore I responded to?
.
Well, I didn’t cite statistics or waste too much time if that’s who this is.

Yeah, Ohg Rea Tone posted a lot during the run up to the election, then dropped off.
.
The only value he/she/they/it added was when he/she/they/it posted something that set rustyreturns or a troll by the name of Question Hillary off.

Just chiming in to confirm Cliff’s account of events.

Why doesn’t Miss Prissy admit that she quit politics to go into show biz?

Don’t, ah say don’t forget Great White North (show within a show, I know )

During the Presidential primary, many pundits (Chris Matthews, etc) spent time exclaiming at Hillary Clinton’s shrillness and harshness. They thought her laugh was laughable. They critiqued her clothes and hair.
Now they will acknowledge Palin is amusing but I hear nothing of the particularly personal rhetoric used against Clinton.
//
When I hear Palin speak, my biased ears hear a screeching voice spewing dissent and hatred. Nothing amusing about her.

I am only going to say this once in this thread.

If you want a job where you make judgments over money for the military, deployments or ANYTHING else that directly effects U.S. service personnel: I feel a legal prerequisite should be that you must have served in one of the branches of the service you seek to direct.

If you haven’t served, you shouldn’t be legally allowed to make decisions that affect those that do.

After the last few days, what is Sarah trying to do? Bring the activists back into the mainstream GOP, or push the mainstream further towards the activists?

Or does she believe she can create a third party based around the activists and the fundamentalists still within the Republican Party and run in 2012 from that base? The last election cycle showed how a relatively unknown player can win off the back of a sophisticated grassroots movement.

http://1787-1.blogspot.com/2007/05/constitution-part-xii-military.html
http://supreme.justia.com/constitution/article-2/13-commander-of-armed-forces.html
//
Take some time to read the constitution. There was a reason that the founders wanted civilian control of the military. You, I am sure, can guess those reasons.
Commander in Chief is considered a civilian position, one of many duties of the President.
//
The legislative branch was designated in the Constitution to raise and support appropriations for the armies and navy for 2 year periods.
//
So your Constitutional amendment, the only means to change current status, would not allow any member of Congress who has not served in the military to make appropriations for army and navy support. If a President did not have military service he could not be Commander in Chief.
//
Swasquatch are you considering a military junta of retired military men and women?

For Sara Palin fans, though, you do understand that they have to show pretty pictures because most of them can’t read.

What if you are a medically PDQ (once known as 4F)?
.
So, Carter would have been able to control the military as Bush Sr could have, but W, Reagan (who bravely announced sports to protect America during World War II) and Clinton could not have.
.
I couldn’t believe that I was told that I have a heart condition and, after letter after letter from a cardiologist in my appeal I was still not allowed in.
.
So, I do disagree with you Sasquatch.
.
I think self proclaimed tough guys like Reagan and W. should have been called out for their lack of service – especially W since he did everything in his power to keep out of Vietnam while cheering it on – but somebody with a good imagination and empathy for our troops can be a good commander in chief.

I think Sara loves extending her fifteen minutes of fame and has absolutely no idea what she is doing.
.
Behind closed doors in the McCain campaign she had to have history taught to her and still, according to a book about the 2008 campaign, could not explain why their was a North and South Korea.

I thought this was the “‘Young Guns’ program”:

http://michaelfury.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/first-person-sho0ter/

So are these Teabagger candidates or mainstream Republican candidates? Palin endorsed Rand Paul, too right? She appears at Teabagger events. But her endorsements seem all over the map (Rand Paul AND McCain?) What’s she up to if anything other than self promotion?

Of course one of the most important reasons the founders insisted on Civillian control of the military is that they kew that the proper role of the military was the defense of the nation. People in the military often prefer to see their role as being to fight.

Those views are often at cross purposes.

Ohg Rea Tone

Rea Lly? Dea Rgo Dno.

“What’s she up to if anything other than self promotion?”
.
Bingo.

Didn’t they have a TV show a while back set in Alaska?
.
Oh yeah!
.
Northern Exposure!

Well put.

Stylish hair – check. Over inflated sense of self worth-check. Media hanging on every word-check. Adorable ragamuffin family-check. Rabid, mindless crowd of adoring followers-check.

Guys, seriously, the clock is ticking on Sarah. The final check on her list is coming and that would be….the inevitable sex scandal. Either she or Todd will be caught with their pants down with some troll picked up at a local 7 Eleven. It is only a matter of time.

destor23:
Sarah and Todd are after money, money, money.
.

.
They have the same deep, ideological beliefs as Glen Beck. That is money, money, money.

You know, Sara Palin’s use of gun-like images helps get her point across.
.
Take, for example, her video explanation of what happened to two mavericks trying to win the 2008 election.
.

.
(I had to, that was one of my favorite movies, ever.)

I am enjoying the “wild card” aspect of Sarah Palin’s ongoing saga.

You’ll have to admit it is making things interesting….

She is as much a danger to the Republican Party as the Democrat Party.

You simply have to love it! Sarah doing what she does best, tweaking liberal noses! The hen house gets to fluttering when Sarah meanders by and oh my…..the SELF importance of liberals emerges as they fall all over each other trying to discredit this courageous lady…one even offering a forthcoming sex scandal, to balance the playing field after the former liberal darling, John Edwards, proved himself to be a scumbag. What you self appointed, brilliant??(your description, definitely not mine) liberals fail to account, is the simple fact that Sarah’s biggest fan base comes from independent voters (the LARGEST segment of voters in the country) the same voters you LOVE to harpoon because of our attraction to the tea party. You have effectively driven that base (a recent poll shows 75% of independents now lean to the GOP) AWAY from the Democratic party and you will see the results of your folly, come November. Give ‘em HELL, Sarah. Weak kneed, breast beating liberals…. just make you that MORE attractive to independents ALL OVER (see Massachusetts) America!!

Earl,
This is the Tea Party:

http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x1295.xml?ReleaseID=1436
.
Only 13 percent of American voters say they are part of the Tea Party movement,
.
* 74 percent are Republicans or independent voters leaning Republican;
* 16 percent are Democrats or independent voters leaning Democratic;
* 5 percent are solidly independent;
* 45 percent are men;
* 55 percent are women;
* 88 percent are white;
* 77 percent voted for Sen. John McCain in 2008;
* 15 percent voted for President Barack Obama.
.
So, if they ran an independent candidate, they would take 9.64% from a Republican candidate and only 3.26% from a Democratic candidate.
.
That is a net change away from Republicans of 6.38%.
.

.
I think Sara Palin is hilarious.

More or less, any Republican member of congress who has less than 53% support in a district with a proportionally larger Tea Party third candidate will go to the Democrats.
.
At 19.28% of the Republican Party, some Republicans will loose the Republican nomination and, the Democrat can take a third way Clinton strategy and triangulate the vote, that district, also, goes to the Democrats.
.
She’s the best thing to happen to the Democrats since Obama and even better than Ross Perot.
.
If “heads roll” as they say, it will not be Democratic heads. They will be Republican heads either rolling in the primary to some less electable or unelectable Tea party favorite or it will be a Republican head rolling in the general election due to a Tea Party third party candidate.
.
That’s not to mention that Republican opposition and propaganda has set the bar so incredibly low for health care reform that the trajectory for Democrats who supported HCR is going to go up too – hopefully by November.
.
If I were evil, I would recommend that every Democrat, after supporting our own candidates, send money to the Tea Party in every Republican congressional district where the Republican won by less than 53% and/or the Republican may lose the Republican nomination.
.
I see about two to four election cycles from now Rockefeller Republicans being the last ones standing.
.
I could vote for a Rockefeller Republican myself even.
.
Please Earl, do encourage our girl Sara.

It seems we are in the minority here [the odd couple out so to speak, hehehe]; thus I shall wait for the election results come November [2010 and 2012] and let “We the People” speak.

Patrick,You are safely ensconced behind your rose colored glasses and that is just fine with conservatives. Did you notice how SMALL your poll sample was? Did you know this very same poll declared Ted Kennedy’s seat SAFE for democrats? Did you learn NOTHING from Massachusetts, New Jersey and Virginia? Keep deluding yourself, my friend and we will revisit this topic in November….be prepared to eat some crow. There is a huge ground swell of angry Americans and it will be manifested at the polls. When a one paragraph notice in the paper can generate a turn out of 30,000 disenchanted Americans, then trust me, there is more going on than you can possibly imagine. Keep your mirth intact, it only aids our cause and we will answer your derisive commentary by showing up at the polls in record numbers.

Yes, Ike, liberals think they can alter a fact by unleashing a torrent of words, something we conservatives laugh at. The proof of our position will come in November and then, expect the old liberal refrain, “we wuz robbed!”

“…words, something we conservatives laugh at…”
I happened to notice that conservative elected officials lately have had a hard time with words. Especially the word “nuclear”.

Scott Brown was picked by polls to be the winner or too close to call
.

.
http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2010/01/coakley_brown_t.html
.
These are numbers, not words.
.

Or with liberals, “I did NOT have relations with that woman” or perhaps, “I am NOT the father of that child” Two can play this game, Patrick.

Earl,
Your 2nd sentence refers to Chelsea…right?

“Did you notice how SMALL your poll sample was?” – earljr1
.
Well, if the pollsters can’t find enough people among the general public, who can pass the conservative “purity” test, can we really blame them?
.
Have you forgotten about the Palin endorsed tea party “purity” madness that put a democrat into office during the recent elections in NY 23rd District?

Fair enough.
.
Explaining things in great detail helps create clarity.
.
For the most part, that is what is done here.
.
From my cousin and enough in biology that, in theory, I can take the MSATs and go on to med school, I know that learning medicine is all about learning every single detail. (No, I do not wish to be a doctor. It’s not my thing).
.
If it’s details you disagree with, then you don’t like it.

Earl,
The ball is in your court.
.
You are saying that the Tea Party is a threat to Democrats.
.
Examples?
.
BTW: I was in Massachusetts for fifteen years. It was all Republican Governors for fourteen of those years. I spent my first eighteen years in one of the most Republican towns in the NYC Tri-State area. That was how I learned to be a Democrat before I ever saw Boston.

I meant to say, that I knew Boston had many, many conservatives.
.
It, also, has some of the worst racists you’d meet North of the Mason-Dixon line.

Earljr1:
.
Did “we the people” include people to the left of you?
.
Hmmm.
.
It seems to me the Teabaggers needed a bit of Pravda-style help a while back, with Hannity’s “Return Of Summer” video coverage of the 9/12 infestation.
.
Likewise, I seem to remember that the infestors in this case were Teabaggers, elbowing their way through a much larger Black Family Reunion crowd (approx 660,000 strong) in an effort to confound those who use aerial photos to estimate crowd size.
.
Keep foolerizing yerselves…

Earljr1:
.
He’s got a really good point.
.
Smaller sample = larger standard deviation
.
larger deviation = larger statistical error
.
larger statistical error = larger standard error
.
Might I suggest someone far more reputable, like http://www.fivethirtyeight.com
.
It’s that ejumication stuff, man!

Patrick, I was referring to the quinnipiac poll that declared the seat “safe” for democrats. Independents DO indeed make up the majority of tea party support, including myself and a rather large number of my colleagues. I have NOT met a SINGLE independent voter who intends on voting democrat in November and Rassmussen states that 75% of Independents now lean to the GOP. Mind you, Patrick, this same group voted FOR the democrats last election. They are now leaving in droves, driven in part, by the incessant ridicule that you and your cohorts so frequently dispense. We are good, tax paying Americans (and some of us are pretty darn smart, too) who just happen to feel threatened by the direction our country has taken.

Hecks, partick!
.
I’m sure that loyal teabaggers like 2/3rds doesn’t want to be reminded that in one of his rants, he threatened a poster here a while back. There have been a few others, besides him, Teabaggers all, and I seem to remember that one of ‘em just the other week (I believe it was The Freeper) spouted on about how they “…don’t practice violence, but won’t shy away from it [sic]…”)
.
Seen enough evidence to suit me. They’re Al-Queda in drag…

One heckuva wish list there, sasquatch.
Why?
Does having served make righteous the taking of life?
hitler served.
stalin served.
Nixon was, and still is, a piece of work, but he did serve. Not that it made him any more honorable in the end.
Resigning while being impeached…does that mean he was dishonorably discharged?
Foolish ground to attempt, in any case.
As Washington indeed was a soldier in the greatest battle for our freedom, a war in which Adams didn’t serve?
How could that be?
Don’t get me wrong. I understand the strength from serving…Theodore Roosevelt.
Holy Cow! was THAT a MAN! A betterman than you or me.
Well, you, at least.
d=))
Geez, after being elected the fat cows that put up the money to have him elected getting booted out of the White House!
(I HATE monopolies!)
And Eisenhower.
Another “Man’s Man” if you will.
Couldn’t cross that guy with anything.
My Old Man knew him.
I didn’t get to meet him. I was a kid.
But the Old Man talked about him a lot. Good guy. Had his own message and he was serious.
“Don’t trust the military/industrials.”
Too bad we didn’t listen.
Let’s see, after him, how many Presidents did exactly that? Fill the coffers of the military/industrials?
Kennedy*
Johnson*
Nixon*
Ford*
Carter*
Reagan**
Bush senior*
Clinton
Bush junior*
Obama (although that story may change up a bit soon enough, eh? I do believe he wants the clown in the mountains, a table for Palestinians and Jews to sit at, and we are out of there.
He must certainly want to track on daddy’s foot-prints and walk away with a balanced budget/fed surplus $250B)
.
( * = served, where ** = pretended to serve in the movies, but instead trained, armed, and supplied bin laden)
.
And speaking of Reagan, they want to replace Grant (on the $50 for those who like me, don’t make enough to see fifties that often) who did serve in the Army during the Indian Wars, and the Civil War under President Lincoln who served for three months in a militia group. (Didn’t they just arrest a bunch of guys in some kind of militia group in the mid-west?)
.
Serve or no, the mark of a leader probably has more to do with the person, not the perception we get from advertising, hype, and the slant of whatever media throws at us. And, as there are at least twelve presidents with NO service, I think you may have overstepped your bounds a bit.
.
Your point…It may explain as much as anything Bush junior’s propensity to snicker and giggle when talking about sending troops to Iraq to die when he served in a national guard unit that got questionably shorthanded when their tour came up.
But, what the heck. SOMEBODY voted for his lying mangy butt…. TWICE!

“US PRESIDENT Barack Obama’s signing of the healthcare Bill has achieved the political “bump” Democrats had predicted. A USA Today /Gallup poll published yesterday showed 49 per cent of Americans now consider the reform “a good thing”, compared to 40 per cent who said it was negative.”
.
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/world/2010/0325/1224267013847.html
.
Well, as for who you talk politics with is your business.
.
I know without any doubt that New York City is not a national sample.
.
When I did a Google News search for Independent voters, I found Earl as the source right here above.
.
Earl, outside of people in your particular hospital and in your particular town, do have any surveys of any kind to back that number?
.
It sounds like it came from the Faux News Channel to me.
.
I can say 99% approve Obama’s job right now, but, I have no proof of it.

Correction 53_3:
She is Dan Al_Quaylea in drag:
Dumb, super right wing and encouraging an armed insurgence against the US on religious grounds.

Well, what the heck, I have a guess about her direction.
It is misdirection
And why wouldn’t the RNC back that option?
It’s getting to be a danged game for these clowns to “play” with our lives and welfare. And the Democrats are the same way.
I don’t want to go off on them, but, it may do a bit better if we take the ten commandments and other statues off the courthouse lawns and public squares,
and put guillotines on!
…
nah.
It would come to a vote and guess who gets to vote on it and guess which way they’re going to vote?
Heck…they might just vote themselves in a raise, too.

she is mis-direction.

Of course, perhaps the 2016 elections will see one of these fine youth running for Congress, or the Senate, or even…
the U.S. President?
.

…then again, you still make the point, cause I’de vote for any one of these fine people for any election!
Great Music to Rise By!

It is great to hear HOPE, it is great to watch this re-election bid of McCain. We have watched him fight this administration this year, we will continue to respect his fight, his integrity and his courage when fighting for all the people in this amazing state and country. I am a bit humored by the corrupt JD, that he thinks he has a chance against McCain. McCain did just receive an award for being the third most fiscally conservative member in Senate! This is respectable and yet another reason why I support this guy!

Earljr1,
Your post speak the truth. Mention Sarah’s name and all the loons on this site come out of the woodwork. Why are they so afraid of this very capable Lady.
As Governor she held the highest approval rating of any Governor in the country.
Those commenter’s posting that she is dumb must be total idiots to make such absurd comments about her. She made no more dumb statements then Obama has made but of course he gets a pass from the loony left.

I have tried to figure out why the left goes totally nuts with the mention of her name.
I believe I have finally figured it out. They fear her influence on the electorate. They fear she is one person who can influence elections and cause the sinking of the Liberal-Left Ship. She is too American for them. She doesn’t fit their warped ideas of what an elitist women’s right person should be like. She too ordinary like most Americans.
The Left doesn’t really trust the majority of Americans. They know that leaders like Sarah appeal to these people and can prevent their agenda from moving forward.
Sarah will be one of the Leaders that will help Sink the Leftist Ship in November.

All you Palin haters will only add to her influence with the majority of Americans who see your irrational hate of this women as totally Un-American.
As usual you are your own worst enemy.

To earljr1 and 3xfire3

I have something that I want to ask you two to read. It is not my Blog [I mention that before I am accused of being a whore-blogger again] but a typical UK mudslinging contest between participating readers. I caution you that it is ugly but I don’t want to give you any further particulars except to mention that I am with a small group that do research on attitudes, perceptions and patterns in Blogging in America, the UK and Europe. The latter indirectly includes Australia because so many of them Blog in the UK and, lately, also in WordPress Groups. The Post in question is one of the latter.

http://bearsy.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/dja-vu-all-over-again/

America, please, don’t ever become like this. For those who do not like Miss Sarah, please remember that she is an American. The voters will ultimately decide. America is known for honor and dignity; let us all work to keep it that way.

But you will then understand why I say what I do in my Post:

http://ikejakson.wordpress.com/2010/03/26/cycles-and-circles-updated-for-2010/

You are most welcome to leave a comment of your choice there, but you don’t have to. I am not fishing for “Com[pli]ments”, just reactions. I leave it with you because I shall be away for a few days from tomorrow to be back on Tuesday 6th and you may therefore take your time.

Ike,
You are both a blogwhore and one of the most confused political groups I have ever seen: English Conservatives.
.
Every single time I see English conservatives (and I have met many, strangely enough considering that I have not traveled) and they believe that we have Ohio’s cost of living in Manhattan and Manhattan wages in Ohio, among other things.
.
The first thing I have to tell them that the rural parts of the American Southeast and Midwest are like the North of England: few jobs, cheap housing, many who go onto join the military.
.
We in America do not believe that Jimmy Carter was the idealist with Rose colored glasses. That was Ronald Reagan who was all smiles while Carter just gave nervous grins.
.
Perhaps for foreign policy they came across the opposite, but, domestically, Reagan was Mr. Big Smile and all about rosy.
.
Ike, I would recommend living in at least two or three regions of this country before having any expectation of understanding America.
.
It’s been hundreds of years since the WASPs of the US were English and, after Germans and Irish, WASPs are only the third biggest ethnic group.
.
I found your entry irrelevant.
.
I got in a few paragraphs and was not offended, but bored.
.
English conservatives seem to think that the US is like them. You are more similar to Ireland and France than to the US despite language. (BTW: I have had many relatives and friends who said that, it was not a random guess.)

My dear Friend

I can see that you have not travelled at all. Your remarks of me are way off the mark and you speak the words of an idiot.

BTW, and you have obviously never been to England or read one sentence about Ireland etc. BTW too, I don’t live there and I am no English British Conservative. I just study them.

Please don’t let America become like them. You are acting like them already, though more like the sick’s in the Blog that I used as an example; for the sake of America stop it.

I also did not address my comment to you. What is eating at your innards my friend?

Ike,
I took a class in pre-Norman Irish history.
.
My brother just spent two weeks in Ireland this Summer.
.
I listen to BBC world News very often.
.
My double major was economics and international relations.
.
Except of the few and far between times when I run across an English conservative, I see that the English, an Irish woman I spoke to two days ago and almost everybody in Western Europe finds American conservatives halfway between amusing and frightening.
.
I do expect to travel within the next few years.
.
I have, most likely, judging from your remarks, read much more about Ireland and England than you have.
.
Your blog reminds me of what they call a braigetori in Ireland. It has dangerously high levels of Hydrogen Sulfide.

BTW: The Irishwoman has been a nurse in both countries and is more qualified than Earl to talk about comparing two different systems unless Earl can surprise us with foreign work experience.
She has little good to say about American doctors and finds Irish doctors greatly superior.
