Funny. You know I fully realize people will have fundamental differences. What concerns me is dies someone develop ones opinion themselves or do they allow others to form it for them. It's not that much different from folks that idolize musicians, athletes, or movie stars. I've never been the type to go ga ga over someone else, or even wear a jersey with someone elses name on the back, so this is hard for me to relate to. I believe it occurs on the left just as much it does the right, but I'm amazed at how little it takes for someone to carry a sign they can't provide a detailed answer to explain what they are advertising. How shallow is ones belief system to do that.

I guess if you're gonna be a leftist tool you might as well get paid for it like these pathetic schleps. The internet is also filled with these paid DNC posters who regularly defend Barack Obongo onyanga Hussein Obama with a sheet of mind numbed talking points. 

And I thought it was because of his lies that makes even the media look like unbiased honest reporters.

I can't say I hate him but I certainly dislike him, not only because of his lies but also because he makes right-wingers look like complete morons. I figured that left-wingers would hate him certainly for the first reason (and love him for the second).

I guess this is a similar case to Sarah Palin's. Right-wingers just don't understand how left-wingers think. Left-wingers do not fear Sarah Palin and they do not hate Andrew Breitbart. In fact left-wingers love both because the two cost the right votes from the undecided.

Not so sure about that.

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/september_2010/52_of_voters_say_their_views_are_more_like_palin_s_than_obama_s

Fifty-two percent (52%) of Likely U.S. Voters say their own views are closer to Sarah Palin’s than they are to President Obama’s.

 

And that would be relevant if Sarah Palin was running against Obama, but the last time she was, Americans voted for Obama instead.

I would bet that my views are closer to Palin's than to Obama's, but I don't think I would vote for her. She just doesn't strike me as reliable whereas Obama has turned out much more reliable and centrist than I had expected.

She didn't run against Obama, McCain the RINO did.

Obama a centrist?  Are you kidding?

If McCain is a RINO, I doubt anyone can help the GOP any more.

It was people like McCain that made me support the Republican party. The entire RINO definition doesn't make sense anyway. A RINO is defined as someone who doesn't really support Republican values. And "Republican values" is defined as something that changes over time (since they are clearly not the values of Lincoln any more). But if the values change, how can we ever find that anyone doesn't really support them?

Read my lips: s/a centrist/more reliable and centrist than I had expected/

I disagree. Left-wingers created Sarah Palin via their fear of her. Need proof? How many unsuccessful presidential candidates VP picks to you hear from today in a politically active way (and most every day to boot)? Appears they will do the same with Breitbart.

Those are probably two word I wouldn't use to describe Obama in any context. It would almost the same as one saying Saddam was kinder and gentler than I thought he was.

I know. But that's not the point.

I am telling you this as someone to the left of you. You can either listen to left-wingers (relative to you) or pretend that you know what they think. The first is better if you want to win.

How is that proof? It is entirely possible for Sarah Palin to be politically active because she has supporters on the right and not because she is feared on the left. Hence this is no proof.

The fact that Sarah Palin is a phenomenon and possibly a unique such doesn't mean that the left fear her. And I'm not even sure if quitting a governor's position and constant campaigning really counts as "politically active".

Ok, I will be Breitbart - name one lie.

Oh, but they do (on both counts).  You project your "European left" onto the "American left", and are wrong in that respect.  They fear Palin because of what she represents (the same thing that Clarence Thomas does and they hate him for the same reason).  They hate Breitbart because he can stand there and calmly confront them and show them to be fools.

You are wrong again. She has never run against him.  I hope she does.

In some respects you are right.  Like a broken clock, he has been consistently wrong.

It may fracture into 2 parties.  But that would be good for the republicans eventually as the US would get a 3rd party, and the current RINO republicans would become the center party.  I would hope we could bring it back to its core, but if it takes a fracture, then so be it.  I am tired of politicians that go to washington saying they will control spending and then do the opposite.  It ensures that I have wasted a vote.

A progressive (yes they exist in both parties) would be a better word for McCain. He is back peddling now, trying to get some conservative cred, since his primary in an attempt to remain relevant. His time is almost over though, conservative see thew it. He is fortunate his constituency liked him better than his opponent locally, as he will never get close any major national support in the future.

Palin was created by liberals and the left by deluging her with frivolous lawsuits. They thought it was smart. Well all that did was force her to give up being governor (her governor salary would never have covered the half million dollar legal fees) and turned her in to a political activist. She wrote her book, when on tour and the rest is what you see now. Good job lefties.

I believe she is doing fine where she is. But if she decides to I hope it isn't 2012. This is good political experiance she is getting now.

Remember the Sherrod case?

I saw the video Breitbart provided and the full video. I also read what he wrote about what happened and then what really happened.

He lied.

No, you are assuming that I have no contact with American left-wingers. In fact because of where I work most Americans I know are left-wingers and Obama supporters. You, my friend, are one of the few right-wing Americans I know.

Left-wingers, American such, do NOT fear Sarah Palin.

The sooner you will all accept that, the better.

Her ticket ran against his ticket. Palin supporters obviously voted for McCain/Palin rather than Obama.

I agree.

His constituency probably know him better than others.

I am not saying that liberals aren't to blame for her prominence. They are.

But they still don't fear her.

They just saw a woman married to an eskimo and figured they could have her way with that minority candidate not blessed by the left. They were wrong.

But that doesn't mean that she isn't a loonie and it doesn't mean that the left are now (or were ever) afraid of her.

Just ask swing voters why they voted for Obama rather than McCain. You will find that it often was because of the VP candidate he chose.
