The last presidential campaign, its election and each and every day since have crystallized the magic and malice of the national media. By working its magic, the media were able to keep Obama hidden in clear sight. His past was selectively chosen, his present was a manufactured eloquence of hope and change, his future was his transcendent ability to lead us to the land of milk and honey, and his gaffes were editorially retrofitted. The media took a virtual unknown and kept him unknown. This Camelot euphoria was interrupted by another unknown that stoked the malice of the media. Unexpectedly, a non-elite commoner caused a derangement syndrome with Obama and his media acolytes that came out of the clear blue; the source of their derangement ... Sarah Palin. The media launched a D-Day scale invasion of Alaska. Its mission was not to report, but to search and destroy. Every nook and cranny of Palin's life and anyone and everyone associated with her was scrutinized. Nothing was off limits: having five children was improper, her children's names were ridiculed, her fifth child was portrayed as her grandchild, and her everyday life was depicted as trailer trash. The universal talking point was the vice presidential candidate is not only barefoot and pregnant, Palin is dumb. Let's examine Palin's "dumbness." She more than held her own in the vice-presidential debate with Joe Biden. While campaigning, even with the cheap shots from a left-wing media wrapped in straightjackets of unchangeable political ideology, Palin's message and demeanor won the hearts and minds of more and more Americans. With a stronger running mate, the results may have been different. Now as a leader of the tea party movement, the media now suffer from another bout of derangement syndrome. Tea party members are touted as dumb, and Palin is dumb. Money or more precisely, lack of money is a major problem in all too many states. As governor, Palin had an opposite track record than her counterparts in bastions of liberalism such as New York, New Jersey, California and Massachusetts. These states are financially belly up and will be turning to Washington for, what else, a bailout. Yet Alaska is financially solvent. Its biggest concern is trying to keep Washington away. But the media spin is Alaska is a state of dummies and Palin is dumb. Advertisement Palin wrote a book that sold 2.2 million copies and, much to the New York Times' chagrin, was on its Bestseller List for 11 weeks. The Associated Press had eleven fact checkers dissect each word of her book and found nothing to stir up another personal assassination. Nancy Pelosi had a book published; it's sitting on the shelf of your local book store. Regardless of the incredible success of Palin's book, the media decision: Pelosi is smart, Palin's readers are dumb, and Palin is dumb. Who is Sarah Palin? Wife, mother, grandmother, soldier's mom, soccer mom, working mom, who believes in God, the Constitution, American uniqueness, sanctity of life, family values, school choice and low taxes. And because of this she is dumb. Maybe there just happens to be a whole lot of moms who believe in the same things. Women, who from the time they get up to the time they go to bed, are constantly juggling the multiple roles and responsibilities that define them. How dumb they are? Or do they have to be a conservative, female politician to be dubbed dumb? Tea party moms, you're in the same boat. Wendy Doniger, a professor at Chicago Divinity School, wrote "Her (Palin) greatest hypocrisy is her pretense that she is a woman." Coming from divinity school that doesn't sound too divine, but it does sound liberal. Maybe her definition of a woman would be Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer or Janet Napolitano. Mothers of Bucks County and beyond, do you align yourselves with these ladies who are proclaimed smart or with Sarah Palin who is ... well, you know? There's a major disconnect with the media's derangement syndrome. If Sarah Palin is so dumb and inconsequential, why do they go out of their way to castigate her? Why waste the time? It's a one-word answer ... fear. Never heard or read anything from Dennis Miller and I'm from the phillyburbs area. Pretty good piece of writing, maybe why they aren't sinking like the rest of the print media.

Happy hour came early today? Lol - poor Fred.
ABBA can't even write his own taglines....(laughing) But like dwarf, can't seem to get through a day without me. I think its catching...
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
2007 was a great year, especially compared to 2010. Which of course was what we were discussing. Figure thats concluded now. Ooops. That didn't turn out well for iq65. By ANY measurement or indicator, the 0bama's present and future economy = Helen Thomas, while Dubya's = Miss America. It fun to watch liberals convince the sane otherwise though.
And 2010 was a great year, compared to 2008. Agreed?
All the polls said Biden won. Except of course those of GOP'rs.
Biden just talked out his ass and made shit up (like he always does). President Tarball chose him because at least he can say he's smrter than his VP. ____ By contrast, Senator Biden was glib and fluent and in command of the facts — if by “in command of the facts” you mean “talks complete blithering balderdash and hogwash.” He flatly declared that Obama never said he would meet Ahmadinejad without preconditions. But, on Debate Night, the official Obama website was still boasting that he would meet Ahmadinejad “without preconditions”. He said America spends more in a month in Iraq than it’s spent in seven years in Afghanistan. Er, America has spent over $700 billion in Afghanistan since 2001. It’s spending about $10 billion a month in Iraq. But no matter. To demonstrate his command of the “facts”, Senator Biden sportingly offered up his own instant replays: “My friend John McCain voted 422 times against tax cuts for the middle classes. Let me repeat that so the American people are clear on this. My friend John McCain voted 673 times against tax cuts for the middle classes.” http://article.nationalreview.com/373861/with-a-wink-and-a-smile/mark-steyn
2007 was a great year, especially compared to 2010. And 2010 was a great year, compared to 2008. Hardly. That was several million lost jobs ago. Remember? And several million lost homes due to foreclosure, several hundred bank failures... 1st Rule of Holes is now in effect, GO65. You should stop.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
Its a waste of time. The ugly truth is 2010 is the worst year as it relates to the economy since the Carter Era, and in many ways is much much worse. There is no spinning it. Its sad to see anyone even try.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
But like dwarf, can't seem to get through a day without me. I think its catching... Even if ABBA-Doo could write his/her/its own tagline, it would be embarrassingly lame. Ya know - with as much time and energy as it, dwarf, Skid-mark Intro spend obsessing over your every word, I believe they secretly admire and envy your success.
I don't seem to recall any polls saying The Dumbest Man in the Senate 'winning' that debate.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
I think its the latter. Skippy doesn't hang on every word like the other two...and as the forum has seen over the months, the dwarf is in a league of his own....(laughing) ABBA just wants to belong, so he tags along for the ride, kinda like a little bratty brother.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
HA! Think you pegged it, "Bad": "Dwarf's Bratty Brother."
Poll respondents give Sen. Joe Biden the edge over Gov. Sarah Palin in ability to express views. The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. said 51 percent of those polled thought Biden did the best job, while 36 percent thought Palin did the best job. But respondents said the folksy Palin was more likable, scoring 54 percent to Biden's 36 percent. Seventy percent said Biden was more of a typical politician. Both candidates exceeded expectations -- 84 percent of the people polled said Palin did a better job than they expected It was mixed. I don't think those polled took into account that Biden was just making up what he was saying.
Agreed? Can you possibly be THIS nuts?
True. The MSM was covering for Owe-bama, didn't want HIM to look bad for picking an idiot as his VP.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
He just does as he's told.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
Considering those polled possess an IQ of (ahem) 65, and Biden hasn't stopped shilling/bullsh*tting about 0bama, the economy, and whatever, all that matters for the Left is trudging out bogus polls results through the usual propaganda outlets.
He's a well-strung puppet.
In 2008, unemployment started at 5% and ended at 7.4% The Dow did fall from about 12,000 to about 8,000. I'll leave it to you to compare that to 2010.
There you go again, inserting facts where none are desired....
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
Unemployment rose 50% and the Dow lost 25% of it's value. I'll leave it to you to compare that to 2010. 2010 is a better year.
Chyeah, dwarf... And that big-t*tted blonde with the LARGE Adam's Apple, HUGE veiny hands and hairy legs in heels is...a woman.
And it was still at least 2 full points higher than it has been all of 2010. By your logic, if unemployment rises from 1 to 1.5%, it has been a catastrophic year economically.
Yeah,but other than a few areas,she doesn't. The only real difference between what Barry Soetoro is doing and what John McLunatic would be doing if he were the president is in the effectiveness. McLunatic would be FAR worse because he has favors owed to him and has a lot of political experience that would keep him from making the boneheaded blunders that Barry is making. And Palin seems to live up McLunatic's ass.

ROFLMAO! Good one!

There is no proof the earth is old. The proof is to the contrary. Give me an example of something you know of that proves the earth is old. Go ahead I'm patiently waiting.
Stone, its not debatable. The science is 'known quantity'. What fossil proves or even suggests the earth is billions of years old? What geological evidence is there that suggests the earth is billions or millions of years old? Ever heard of the creation museum in Kentucky?
Read a geology book. Learn how radiometric dating methods work and how they're used. Or believe creation myths if that works for you. It really doesn't matter to me.

They are hardly confirmable (such as measuring a gravity accelleration constant). Maybe you need to read some books.
I'm still waiting on an answer. Can't you back up your big proclamations?
Whatever you say. So how old is the earth, and what's your source?

Not unless you're willing to do a little work on your own. Really, we may as well be arguing about whether the sun rises in the west or the east.

I did answer. I'm just not willing to waste my time trying to explain things to people who have no intention of listening.

Really, we may as well be arguing about whether the sun rises in the west or the east. That isn't proof. Do you have any proof? If you don't. That's ok. You can just say you believe that. I guess it's ok to believe things without proof if you want.
I think we can probably agree that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. You do know that I assume?
Well, that's a start. Now why don't you tell me how old the earth is and why? BTW, how old is the moon?
"The ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and left out there. It's natural. It's as natural as the ocean water is." - Rush Limbaugh
You said the earth was millions. Back it up. Quit trying to turn the table.
I said it's billions of years old. It took people thousands of years to finally figure that out. I'm not going to try to teach you on a chat site. If you're really curious, look for yourself. It's not like it's a government secret.

A national poll of people who watched the vice presidential debate Thursday night suggests that Democratic Sen. Joe Biden won, but also says Republican Gov. Sarah Palin exceeded expectations.
