Representative Grayson summed up the Republican position on Tax Cuts for the wealthy in a very succinct way.  The reason why we hear about this non-stop from the Fox Media Machine is because the main hosts have millions of dollars to gain from getting a Tax Cut for the wealthy–despite how unhealthy it really is for economy.

Watch for yourself:

when making fun of Sarah Palin . . . .

Matt Damon talked about it last week: Sarah Palin as Vice President is like a bad Disney movie.

For those of you who wanted to see it, ask, and you shall receive.  The film producers at College Humor have put together the trailer for that bad Disney movie, and it’s called Head of Skate.

Grab your popcorn!  It’s time to go to the movies and laugh, thanks again to the Republican Party, at the SKATE of America  (Get it?  SKATE of America).

Are you ready to watch the Vice Presidential debate tonight between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden?

You may have your pizza lined up.  You may have your refrigerator stocked with your 6-pack (you are a Joe 6-pack kinda guy/gal, too).  You may have the Cheetos ready for the snack bowl.  What’s missing, you may ask?

No one is fully ready for the Vice Presidential Debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden until you have printed your Palin Bingo cards!

With all of the buzzwords, talking points, and just plain gibberish that she continues to recycle, some great minds put together a game called Palin Bingo.  Each person prints a card and marks off the squares as Palin utters the buzzwords.

PS. Give em hell, Joe!

This video clip of Sarah Palin (Sarah Heath) in the Swimsuit Competition for Miss Alaska in 1984 is simply too good to omit.

I am sure that the McCain Campaign saw all of this footage during their “vetting” process, and I am equally sure that Putan and other world leaders will find it amusing . . . but feel that they are on equal footing during complex global negotiations.

One heartbeat away . . . .

When the conservative commentaries start to ask for their candidates resignation, the situation is bad.

Kathleen Parker is a conversative commentator, and a self-admitted fan of Sarah Palin—at first.  The message that she has now is quite different.  She argues that is Sarah Palin loves her party, and loves her country, that she needs to step down because she is “out of her league.”

Palin’s recent interviews with Charles Gibson, Sean Hannity, and now Katie Couric have all revealed an attractive, earnest, confident candidate. Who Is Clearly Out Of Her League.

No one hates saying that more than I do. Like so many women, I’ve been pulling for Palin, wishing her the best, hoping she will perform brilliantly. I’ve also noticed that I watch her interviews with the held breath of an anxious parent, my finger poised over the mute button in case it gets too painful. Unfortunately, it often does. My cringe reflex is exhausted.

Palin filibusters. She repeats words, filling space with deadwood. Cut the verbiage and there’s not much content there.

Take heed.  This is an example of the conservatives taking a big bite of humble pie.

Kathleen Parker had said earlier in the month that Sarah Palin is a “perfect storm of God, Mom and apple pie.”  Less than a month later to change her opinion is quite a flip-flop, or perhaps this is damage control for a political party staring a losing strategy in the face (lies, lies, and more lies–say whatever you have to to win).

Or, perhaps Sarah Palin is too religious (her relationship with her Pentecostal church is a bit too probelematic) and that she is too quick to be decisive–often times without enough information.  In fact, her behavior might be mildly reminiscent of the guy who got us into this place to begin with . . . .

On a more base level, perhaps Republicans are realizing that their candidate is lying to them . . . and don’t want to be inplicated.

Regardless of what the reasons may be, this is the first conservative calling for what the liberals have generally understood about Palin–she was a game changer to win ratings and votes, and McCain’s campaign managers didn’t care much about the consequences . . . .

In a CBS interview, Matt Damon gives a pretty precise run-down about the Sarah Palin.  The actuary calculations for McCain surviving his first term are less than 30%–a 70% or greater chance that Sarah Palin would become President of the United States.

Matt Damon says that he wants to know if she thinks that dinosaurs were created 4000 years ago (she is a creationist, and depending upon which brand of creationism, 4000 years ago might be the date when she believes God created the world).  He explains simply that she is going to have the nuclear codes–and, that we have the right to know if she beleives in dinosaurs being created 4000 years ago or not . . . .

Frightening stuff . . . .

Here is the Video clip of Sarah Palin accepting protection from Witchcraft by Thomas Muthee at her long-time church.  Subsequently, she promised to “rebuke all forms of witchcraft,” although I do not believe that her choice should largely affect her role as Vice President–if she were to win it.

Back when John F. Kennedy was campaigning for President of the United States, the American people were VERY concerned that the pope would move into the White House and start giving directives to JFK.  It was a big issue at the time.

The chances of that happening to Sarah Palin is a real possibility–religious extremists giving her directives from God.  And, all of this is only one heart beat away from the White House . . . .

A reporter from Telegraph TV in England donned a Sarah Palin T-shirt (Sarah Palin for VP: God, Guns, Guts) and interviewed British people about their opinions of Sarah Palin.

Hey, wait a minute!  The queen of transparency . . . miss “Hold Me Accountable” . . . Sarah Palin AND her staff are NOT going to testify in the Alaska Troopergate Inquiry (bi-partisan, I might add, with 6 Republicans and 2 Democrats).

First, there was the “I don’t know anything about it” phase where  Sarah Palin argued that she was unaware of what Walt Monegan was EVEN discussing.  This phase was short-lived and quickly followed by “I have done nothing wrong.”  Sarah Palin accentuated the point by adding the wonderful, news-ready headline, “Hold Me Accountable!” (There is a really good overview at Think Progress >>)

Next, there was the nomination.  I wonder if the 1-conversation vetting process with John McCain sounded more like confession than a professional discussion, or if all of the subsequent corruption was revealed later?

After the nomination, there was the release of the recorded phone conversation between her staffer, Frank Bailey and the Alaska State Troopers Office.  (You can listen to it here at Alaska Daily News >>)  Governor Sarah Palin put her staffer on PAID leave and said it was the product of staffers wanting to “gain the favor of the governor.” [The PAID leave thing irks me.  It is like a 4-month vacation that the taxpayers are funding.]

The next part of the saga: Governor Palin hired a private lawyer (because the State Attorney General made calls to pressure Walt Monegan and was implicated in the abuse) who filed an Ethics Complaint against HERSELF–in an effort to strip the investigation from the Legislative Investigation.  This was denied.

Governor Palin’s aides and husband refused to testify to the informal requests.

And, now, the Governor’s aides (including the Alaska State Attorney General) has elected to break the law and are refusing to testify to the legal subpeonas–because she has declined to participate.

In my opinion, this is the worst possible form of corruption.  Would any citizen of the United States be able to “decline to participate” and refuse to show up for a lawful subpeona?

Nope–we would be arrested.
