Why Saracuda So Terrifies Dems
Dick Morris and Eileen McGann put their finger on why Sarah Palin so terrifies the Democrat establishment that its media wing is willing to risk the last of its credibility among moderate Americans to tear her down. They cite a September 8-9 Fox News poll that goes beyond showing her to be the most popular of the candidates:
On the question of which of the four candidates best understands what day-to-day life is like in America, Palin finished first, with 33 percent. […] She's not popular because she's a radical feminist or pro-choice advocate. It's because she understands what it's like to be a woman in 21st century America.
She's never ascended to the elite, so she doesn't need to stoop to conquer as most well-heeled feminist leaders must. She lives far from the plastic pseudoreality where a fossilized ideology substitutes for human compassion and empathy. As such, she rises above the slogans of both the left and the right and proposes to bring to Washington a dose of reality — a taste of real life.
In other words, she is the Anti-Obama: not some slick package disguising a bogus ideology, but a real person. The reason establishment journalists in their condescending phoniness hate her with such sputtering ferocity is that she is us, miraculously poised to dethrone the elite. So much for the Democrat pose of representing the people.

On a tip from Burning Hot.

He is on either the O'Reilly Factor or Hannity and Colmes every night those of us who watch Fox news know all about it ;)

Palin is the anti-RINO. She should be terrifying to Republicans.

Sarah does not yet terrify the Republicans. They erroneously see this as a groundswell for Republicans. The day the must compete against her in the primaries is the day they begin to terrify (then hate) her. She brought them to the dance, but they will try to ditch her... later.

Uh - do those last two comments confuse anyone else as much as they do me?

Fred and Lyle obviously hang out at kos and DU for their intellectual edification.

Hey, I like that. Palin is keeping it real. She's the real-deal, whereas, Obama is nothing but a puppet, an empty suit offering false hope pandering to the poor, until after the election, where he'll just forget about them like he forgot about his community.

Perhaps in their incomprehensible little way they're stumbling toward something there. With Ms Palin, the neo-cons may have a tiger by the tail. She may be feisty enough not to knuckle under to the party when push comes to shove, and popular enough to be untouchable. I can't see this as anything but good, myself.

Maybe its becuase she supports traditional america and traditional american values something these liberal demacreeps oppose

Could be. But how many of us make over 250,000 dollars a years? I may not agree with Obama but I could definitely use the larger tax cut he will give someone in my income bracket. I have to vote my wallet this time, not my heart.

Andrew, you actually believe that? When he hikes taxes on the "rich" (who also happen to be the investor class, the ones who drive this economy) and on those eeeevil old corporations (who provide literally everything you eat, wear, watch, drive, consume, etc.), and prices rise as the economy slows...
Well, they came up with a brand new term for that about 30 years ago, and you can thank ol' grinnin' Jimmy Cahtah for it: Stagflation. When that happens & the pool of sucke...er... I mean tax-base dries up, inflation and unemployment spiral upward, companies lay people off or move overseas while government spending on bullshit hits historic levels & everyone is trying to find out what they're favorite flavor of cheap cat food is... well, what do you think the Messiah is going to do? Cut spending for the parasites that got him elected? Oh, hell no. And the money has to come from somewhere. He'll do exactly what Jimmy did. He'll come up with some way to get his sticky little Marxist fingers into your wallet & mine. Promises from Republicans are best taken with a large grain of salt; promises from Democrats with the whole shaker.
Unless you're already on government assistance, I'd suggest buying gold or platinum & burying it somewhere until a sane person is POTUS.
That's assuming the majority of American voters really are that chowder-headed to put him in office.

So I should pay more so the "investor class" doesn't have to? That doesn't make sense. How does that help me pay my bills? I'm just pretty sick of tax and spend. I make plenty, but not over 250K and I have neverbeen on any sort of government assistance, sounds more like something you would know about.

You can always spot a libtroll by the fact that they go from 0-LEFT in 60 seconds.

Listen, you don't have to call me names. I'm sure I have plenty to learn but I'm focused on keeping as much of my money as I can.

Andrew,
No president has ever given anyone a tax cut-ever.
Article I, Sections 1,7,8. Article II, Section 2.
If you're voting with your wallet you're a fool to vote for a Marxist.

Sarah reminds me of the kind of women I know around here. She's not some elitist. She's one of us. That's one of the things I admire about her. She's like an ordinary American. She supports traditional values.

Andrew... seriously, the petty little slap at the end of that reveals you as closed-minded and snobbish, your inability to grasp the concept of economic growth moreso. Why is it that if the investor class pays less, you automatically presume you must pay more? Wealth is not a pizza, where if you have too many slices I have to eat the box. It can be created, grown. Investors do this; they increase the size of the whole pie, so even those with the tiniest percentage of it see theirs grow. The position which refuses to acknowledge this, that sees economics as "zero-sum", is the lie that leftists have used to con people who are so consumed with class envy that they'd kill the goose that laid the golden egg (or at least drive it to move it's money to the Cayman Islands for four years).
If you're sick of tax and spend, you ain't seen nothing yet. No, sir, I have never pesonally been on public assistance as an adult. I do remember, however, my mother having to swallow her pride and accept food stamps for a couple of years. I was 13 years old. It was during the Carter administration... which has already tried the same kinds of meddling in the market for the sake of 'social justice' that this fool Obama wants to revisit. Mom didn't get a raise during those four years, as no employer could afford one; In point of fact, she was lucky her employer stayed in business at all. But, her money got a lot less valuable. 13-year-olds being what they are, I don't remember much about 'real' prices other than the gas rationing. I *do* remember that when Governor Goober took office, a Hershey bar was 20 cents, and when he left, one was 45.
That's what happens when you stick it to the man... in this case, "the man" is the one who keeps the economy moving forward, hires people, gives you that job or raise, sells you what you need at a reasonable price, and so on. For the sake of "making those greedy bastards pay" (I guess for being successful), leftists are willing to shoot themselves in the ass... right where their wallets are.
I really don't give a rat's ass how much wealth anyone else (corporate or individual) has amassed. It's none of my business. What IS my business is MY wealth, and how I can keep this country a place where I can KEEP it, GROW it, and SPEND it how *I* damned well please, without busy-body liberal do-gooders trying to screw me, my employer, the businesses I buy from... because it's all tied together. Liberals just don't seem to ever be capable of grasping that.
If you want a massive transfer of wealth, fine... just not MINE or the wealth of those that impact MY LIFE, because in the end it will affect me, you and everyone in the chain. The sad thing that libs also never get is that the resonating effects of a Carter II 'stagflation' hits the poorest first and hardest. They're least-able to absorb it.

I don't know why it is that liberals like Andrew think that the 40% of all income taxes that the "evil top 1%" pay isn't nearly enough.
