Surprise! Sarah Palin seems normal.

Warren Harding was assassinated.

The jury is still out on this. As I recall, he died of a heart attack.

sorry, Ballhawk. It's getting hard to know the players without a scorecard. From other posts, I see you usually are NOT one of the lefties of the forum. What gives with your post above which sounds contrary to the side you are usually on?

I identify as a Democrat, but I am far from a liberal or the far left. I'm against abortions unless there has been rape or incest. I supported the Iraq War at first, but I'm now against it. I am for Obama's healthcare plan, but I did not agree with Hillary's healthcare plan. I side with the left on most issues, but I'm not a wackhead leftist. People like Dennis Kucinich and Robert Wexler are people that I look down upon because of their extreme actions (trying to impeach Bush and Cheney)

Just thought I'd give you a better idea of where I come from when regarding politics. Politically, I'm pretty similar to Joe on the forum.

How can you be in favor of Obama's health care plan when it was just as bad if not worse than Hillary's? Seriously do people even fucking look into things or just take what politicians say as concrete facts.

If you would know anything about politics, you would know Obama is just a rehash of every failed politician before him. He doesn't have any new ideas or propositions; it's the same old shit. He makes a charismatic speech of hollow promises of GENERAL ideas, but never goes into detail what so ever how hes going to achieve them and people like you fall for it and it pisses me off because our country deserves better from phonies like him and citizens like yourself.

Who said the Hillary women didn't have any fire left in 'em?

NO! The government covered it up.

Must be some more of that historical revisionism stuff. They change history so often nowadays I can't keep up. I'm old school. I'll stick by my trusty old high school history text.

I think rejoicing at the dearth of Tim Russert puts you out of the mainstream of conservative thought. Several conservatives here would probably agree with that.

Being a conservative, I, for one, didn't care for Tex's Russert postings.

Like I've stated in other threads, the namecalling crap is jr. high BS. I think most of us are beyond that level of behavior.

There have been times where Harlan or others have stated stuff that was beyond the pale. If, after a few replies back, it seemed pointless to continue, I logged out. The only reason being is if I continue to post my frustrations it serves no useful purpose.

I've voted republican for almost every election since 1980, going independant on one. I thought his (Tex's) comments were complete shit.

It did galvanize the forum for a little while, didn't it...

Wow, it must be tough surviving in Dem liberal MN!

You know, Obama is only up by 4.5 in Minnesota. If McCain had selected Pawlenty there's a good chance the Republicans would of won Minnesota.

You don't think Palin's hockey-mom factor will swing the state?

[texaspackerbacker]

The key is the sum total of each state race--the electoral votes.

Pawlenty might have given McCain Minnesota. Palin may still do that. Pawlenty, however, wouldn't have given McCain much else at all. Palin has the solid potential to give him enough Catholic and women voters to solidify Ohio and have a shot in Pennsylvania and Michigan, as well as to eliminate any Dem/lib hopes of sneaking in for southern and western states--Virginia, Georgia, Nevada, and Colorado, not to mention Florida.

If McCain keeps those southern and western states and wins Ohio, then he wins even without Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin--any of which he conceivably could take, especially with Palin.

It was a smart political choice, as well as a solid reality-based pick--meaning she typifies what is good about America--as opposed to the liberals who typify the bad that leftists want to bring to America.

It's not all that liberal anymore. They have a Republican Governor and at lesast one Republican Senator. It's more independent than liberal. When Ventura won there, I believe he ran as a fiscal conservative, but more of a social liberal.

It's actually turning it bit. They still have their roots... with the union Democrats from the Iron Range (who aren't really liberal, but they vote their pocket book) with the inner city Democrats (mostly left-wing liberals). The past several elections have been relatively close.

Got better!
