Too bad your Canadian Vote don't count here, but we still gonna vote for Obama to complete the 8 years. Bush put us behind the 8ball so we got plenty of time to recover.

Wrong.

Your Marxist professor is a colossal disaster on every front -- and the people are beginning to notice.

Like those charts? Enjoy the free fall. The Marxist may get minor blips up or down, but the trend is going to be all down until y'all hit rock bottom.

Sarah Palin by a landslide in '12 -- and this time I, along with tens of millions of Americans won't need clothespins at the ballot box.

Then the real, albeit painful, economic recovery can begin.

Cool. So your paperwork to become a real American citizen will be complete by November 2012, Mark?

Will Palin's "landslide" be more or less dominating than previous "JoeC" forecasts?

Joe - Thanks for displaying a picture of Sarah Palin -- She is the only one who has balanced a budget and kept taxes low. Not to mention she is a fine specimen and some very nice eye candy. Unfortunately, we have to look at Zira for another 3 1/2 years.

More made up bull shit by the Democrat Hate machine about Palin. Notice the quote .." Wasilla voters agreed in 2002 to a half-percent increase in the city sales tax to pay off a $14.7 million bond to build the multi-use facility. " Perhaps we should institute a new hate law against Democrats who love to hate Sarah Palin by constantly making up shit about her. You guys on the left should go after her 5 year old since you are so good at that kind of shit. Make up some shit about how her 5 year old is a school ground bully. Make up a story about how her 14 year old was raped by some loser baseball player.



The Smear

She Left City $20 Million in Debt

Sarah Palin has been accused of leaving the City of Wasilla $20 million in debt [1] [2] and miring the city in legal trouble [3].
Headline: As Mayor, ‘Hard-Core Fiscal Conservative’ Sarah Palin Left Wasilla $20 Million In Debt

The biggest project that Sarah Palin undertook as mayor of this small town was an indoor sports complex, where locals played hockey, soccer, and basketball, especially during the long, dark Alaskan winters.[2]

The only catch was that the city began building roads and installing utilities for the project before it had unchallenged title to the land. The misstep led to years of litigation and at least $1.3 million in extra costs for a small municipality with a small budget. What was to be Ms. Palin's legacy has turned into a financial mess that continues to plague Wasilla.[2]

The Truth

Sarah Palin built the city's first big sports complex, on time, under budget, and the bond will be paid off two years ahead of schedule[4].

Much like New York now has a new stadium for the Yankees, Sarah Palin pushed through a much needed sports complex to improve the lives of the people of Wasilla.
Nearing the end of its first full year of operation, the Wasilla Multi-Use Sports Complex is boasting 20 to 50 percent increases in off-ice uses offered at the 102,000 square-foot facility.[4]

Wasilla voters agreed in 2002 to a half-percent increase in the city sales tax to pay off a $14.7 million bond to build the multi-use facility. The project "was completed on schedule and under budget," Mayor Dianne Keller said, and the complex opened its doors March 6, 2004.[4] Sales tax revenue, which can only be used to pay the bond, is coming in faster than expected. Keller said she believes the facility will be paid off at least two years ahead of the 10-year schedule.[4]

Nice try but here is the truth and it is not from some wacky right wing spin site.
~When she went into office as mayor, Wasilla had zero debt. Six years later, she left it with indebtedness of over $22-million."

How did that happen? Easy:

She campaigned in Wasilla as a ‘fiscal conservative.’ During her 6 years as mayor, she increased general government spending by over 33 percent.

During those same 6 years, taxes increased by 38 percent.

She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a recessive sales tax which taxed even food.

The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration weren’t enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed money was needed, too. What did Mayor Palin encourage the voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she said she supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? Or a new library? No. $1-million for a park, $15-million-plus for construction of a multi-use sports complex. She also supported bonds for $5.5-million for road projects that could have been done in 5-7 years without any borrowing.

Trying to blame the people of Wassila for this is absurd at best but typical from someone like you.

The United States Census Bureau,as of July 1, 2008, estimated Alaska's population at 686,293,which represents an increase of 59,361, or 9.5%, since the last census in 2000.

The 2007 gross state product was $44.9 billion, 45th in the nation. Its Per capita personal income for 2007 was $40,042, ranking 15th in the nation.The oil and gas industry dominates the Alaskan economy, with more than 80% of the state's revenues derived from petroleum extraction.
Extracts from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska
A right wing mastubatory fantasy,that the ill equipped Sarah Palin can run the US ship of state.
She balanced a budget thanks to a low population,with a state economy 80% fueled by oil revenue,even "Zira" could do that.
Keep believing the 2008 election was on the level,the whole process from the primaries to the finish was gamed,McCain/Palin were the token opposition,they were insurance for the ruling elite,who really run the show behind the scences of their frontman designate[Obama this go round].
Tell us had McCain/Palin been installled how they would be dealing with the issues of the day much differently then the puppet who's currently in office.
Palin,McCain,Obama,Biden,Bush,Cheney,Quayle,Clinton,Gore,Car ter,Mondale,Reagan,etc. are all members of the same team,some get along better than others,but they're all wearing the same uniform in the end.

Alaska is the biggest welfare state in the country.For every dollar they send the federal govt. they get back 1.50 and then they are socialist for spreading the oil company profits amongst themselves.

Who's giving any credit you benighted buffoon?
If there's a load of oil revenue flowing to a state treasury with a small population,any imbecile in charge will find themselves with a balanced budget,that's not a demonstration of competence on a larger scale.
Why are you painting me into a corner as on the "left",Nic?There's a lot of space in between the limitations of the "left" and "right" labels which people adhere to.
Who made up a fantasy story about killing cats,instead of speculating on how a McCain Palin administration[had they been allowed to be the face of the US] might be running things different?Care to go there?...

McCain recently had to tell Obama how to deal with things in Iran. Wasn't Obama's best performance.

Again .. .Thanks for giving Sarah Palin credit on being one of the very few politicians out there that knows how to balance a budget even if it was due to her state has less people than most. Maybe you and tank can get together and make up some shit about the Palin family dog fuckin all the other neighborhood dogs or some such shit like that.
Since you guys got nothing better to do with your time.

We try to engage Nic in debate,but he's the one setting up straw points,and not addressing the full scope of our arguements.
Nic,you cherry pick what you want to discuss,in doing so you show everyone your debate inadequacies.
Nic,McCain schooling Obama on Iraq,demonstrates how the system is out for its own interests,it serves itself not the people.

Obama's Approval Rating in Ohio Down to 49 Percent; 44 Percent Disapprove

Quinnipiac's poll in Ohio out this morning has some eyebrow-raising numbers: "President Barack Obama gets a lackluster 49 – 44 percent approval rating in Ohio, considered by many to be the most important swing state in a presidential election, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. This is President Obama’s lowest approval rating in any national or statewide Quinnipiac University poll since he was inaugurated and is down from 62 – 31 percent in a May 6 survey."

The poll also notes that the two Democratic possibilities in the 2010 Senate race — Lee Fisher and Jennifer Brunner — beat both the Republican possibilities in the Senate race, former U.S. Rep. Rob Portman and car dealer Tom Ganley. Having said that, nobody polls above 37 percent in any of those hypothetical matchups, and no one is below 30 percent, so there are still a lot of undecideds, not yet thinking that hard about a Senate race that's more than a year away.

I didn't grow up in the 50s but I couldn't imagine a more fun, freer and happier decade.

Conservatism isn't selling fear, tank.

Conservatism is about abandoning our narcissistic adolescent impulses and growing up: less reliance on mommy and daddy (the omnipotent state).

Pragmatically, what exactly does this mean?

With greater economic and individual freedom comes greater individual responsibility. If you don't have Big Government to bail you out of your mistakes, reality will force you to become wiser and more responsible -- or you'll rightfully suffer the consequences and become an ACORN statistic. (Isn't liberty awesome?)

Without statism, people rely on one another, which results in more loving (and less selfish) families and close-knitted local communities. Religious institutions flourish as those with like-minded values voluntarily organize and assist those with emotional, spiritual and financial needs. Why do liberals believe altruism is best left to a faceless, coercive, bloated, compassionless, unaccountable, corrupt government bureaucracy?

Without statism, the 1960s sexual liberation movement would instantly implode because lascivious lifestyles by their nature are suicidal. Try dealing with the father of the woman you impregnate. You'll have to commit to her -- or he'll hunt down and kill you. Either way, nobody forces you to have sex with strangers...the responsibility is yours and yours alone. Take whatever precautions you think are necessary, just understand it is immoral and selfish to expect honest responsible citizens to bail you out of your self-inflicted stupidity.

Without statism, many of the traditional social and sexual taboos are naturally reset (no government coercion required).

Take one example: the word intimacy means private and close... meaning all sexual relations belong behind closed doors. If the sodomites don't want society to judge and frown upon their flamboyant unhealthy behavior, then they need to stop "coming out" and recognize 95% of us find their lifestyle beyond repulsive. Conservatives don't want to "govern inside the bedroom"; we want bedroom activities back behind closed doors where they belong. Just because something is natural doesn't mean it should be public. Should a civilized society allow an individual to defecate on the street (even though such behavior is perfectly acceptable and natural in private)?

The Conservative favors repealing unconstitutional rulings such as Roe v. Wade and prefers to battle out these issues state by state. Is the Modern Liberal petrified he will lose -- and lose big! -- if these critical social and cultural issues are fought at the local level?

In a free civilized society, there is no room for freeloaders who feed off the public trough and very low tolerance for psychedelic drug addicts. These parasites are rightfully flushed out of every civilized community they dare enter. Pull your weight, or you be gone! That is the American way.

There is nothing -- NOTHING -- "compassionate" or righteous about liberalism (statism).

Notice how the Modern Liberal always wants it both ways -- he wants the "right" to engage in self-destructive, irresponsible behavior, then turns around and plays the "compassion" card when his immoral chickens inevitably come home to roost. Not only is it unhealthy to keep expecting honest, responsible citizens to constantly bail out society's narcissists, it is social, cultural and economic suicide.

Common sense tells you that if you excuse bad behavior, you'll get more of it...until one day immorality becomes an epidemic and threatens to destroy your entire society.

Want less teenage sex? Stop subsidizing it.

Want less poverty? Stop subsidizing it.

Want less illiteracy? Stop subsidizing it.

Want less obesity? Stop subsidizing it.

People make better decisions knowing the financial and social consequences of poor health and sinful behavior (see the backwards theory: Why government almost always makes things worse).

The Modern Liberal loves and needs statism (the "social safety net") because it allows him to continue to live in his own personal Land of Oz where nobody judges his destructive behavior.

The Modern Liberal utopia is for everyone to trot along and look the other way -- because the nanny state subsidizes lifestyles that are otherwise unsustainable.

Nobody can eliminate poverty, sin and stupidity -- but we can save the treasury by preventing the do-gooders from trying to "solve" (exacerbate ) every social ill.

Know this: it is NOT the Conservative who has and continues to upset the natural social apple cart, it is the Statist parasite and his freedom-robbing backward value system that threatens to bankrupt the American way of life.

To paraphrase the great Sir Winston Churchill, liberty is the worst human value, except all the others. (Beware the demonic charlatan who promises utopian solutions to human misery. )

The Founding Fathers, divinely inspired, understood this.

The Modern Liberal does not.

Rasmussen “passion index” down to -8

Yesterday, we noted that the Rasmussen “passion index” dropped two points when their survey took place completely after June’s unemployment numbers. Normally I would not revisit a rolling poll the very next day, but the survey has shown an even greater change than yesterday’s. The difference between strongly approving and strongly disapproving of Barack Obama’s job performance slipped three points overnight, bringing it to -8 and showing an accelerating decline in Obama’s overall support:
Quote:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 30% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –8. The President’s Approval Index rating has fallen six points since release of a disappointing jobs report last week (see trends).

Thirty-nine percent (39%) now give the President good or excellent marks for handling the economy while 43% say he is doing a poor job. Those are by far his lowest ratings yet on the economy …

Overall, 51% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance so far. Forty-eight percent (48%) now disapprove.
That’s now within the margin of error, showing a virtual dead heat on Obama for the first time ever. The decline has been rapid since the July 2nd announcement of the unemployment numbers, as their graph shows:



If anyone wanted to know when Barack Obama began to own the recession, it seems to have been July 2nd, 2009. Four months after getting almost $800 billion in “stimulus” funds, millions have lost their jobs, and Obama keeps piling up the debt. The erosion can be seen in Obama’s approval numbers on the economy, where he has also sunk below 0 in the overall differential.

Scott Rasmussen says this is less about Obama personally and more an indication how his presidency rides on the economy:
Quote:
However, the real message in these numbers has less to do with politics and more to do with the fact that this President’s fate will be determined by the economy. … So, when you’re thinking about the potential impact on the 2010 elections, the key question is what will the economy be like next year at this time. If the economy recovers, jobs are being created, and GM is doing well, the President’s numbers will be up. If the economy is still struggling, unemployment is high, and GM is seeking more bailout money, then the President and his party will have a difficult fall.
More and more, the numbers reflect the fact that people don’t believe that the economy will get better or that jobs will recover — and that pessimism directly conflicts with Obama’s promises of recovery. If it doesn’t get better fast, people will conclude that Obama is an economic charlatan, and that will doom the Democrats in 2010.

Yes, even our resident Hussein bootlicker (tank) will vote for Sarah after Hussein puts him in the bread line.
