EXCERPT:   ♥Sarah Palin: northern star injects new life into lumbering campaign ♥     An extraordinary display of raw political talent could trump Obama’s ‘pretty speeches’ and rally the religious right      Sarah Baxter in Detroit     The enthusiasm generated by Sarah Palin, the Republican party’s new “northern star”, on her first tour of Middle America this weekend has...

EXCERPT: I see where the market had a triple-digit loss yesterday on the last day of the McCampaign sideshow.  The DOW Industrials (the most familiar measure) was Over 300 points down in anticipation of McBush’s reading of the teleprompter.     The market reinforced its bet today with another down day in the triple-digit range at the time of this posting.  That pretty much makes it a trifecta of down days during the Republickin's tent    ...

EXCERPT: Tonight, I switched between McSame’s acceptance speech and the US Open (Roddick vs. Djokovic) so I may have missed some nuances but I doubt it - nuances aren’t McSame’s style, he’s the straight talker! Here’re my impressions after my part-time viewing: o McSame’s rhetoric was dated - it might have sounded better in 2000. He didn’t assess blame but pledged to break the partisan gridlock that has paralyzed Washington. True, he didn’t...

EXCERPT: Ho Hum!  Nothing on TV Tonight.    Guess I’ll watch the game.  Any game.  Or anything that hasn’t been pre-empted by the Republickin’s circle jerk.     On second thought, it might be good for a laugh.  It could be interesting to see the horror stricken faces of the Repubmeekins docilely trying to look enthusiastic while John McBush regurgitates the lines on the prompter with an occasional badly timed smile as...

EXCERPT: This continuation of the NeoPolitics series begins after Sarah's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.  The God Over Politics (GOP) faithful were fired up by Sarah's address, presumably because she demonstrated by her do and skirt that she's a female - yea, a can stand without assistance and, while holding onto a lectern and jutting her jaw, can read someone else's words from a Teleprompter! More...

EXCERPT: At last,i have a reason to vote.All these months of listening to the same old lies from people that i could never vote for.Sarah emerges from nowhere with a clean breath of fresh air,and hope that this total election facade has needed.She took a half billion dollar surplus and distributed it to the people in her own state,instead of sending it to Africa,or spending it on some stupid pork barrel bulls***.This is what i call CHANGE.
This woman is everything Hillary wished she could...

EXCERPT: Her speech at the Republickin Party’s glass half full convention was caustic, to say the least.   Aggressive was expected, but divisive, snotty, nasty?  And there are other words that came to mind during her tirade, but a normal person would not print them.       Of course the half empty auditorium, pre-programmed to erupted in adulation at every word, was no surprise.   And you could see as the roof came down following...

EXCERPT: Based on ad hoc street interviews broadcast by local television stations in Phoenix, Arizona yesterday, it would seem that Sarah Palin's unwed, underage, 5 month pregnant daughter is not a factor related to Mrs. Palin's fitness to serve as vice president of the United States-- or in any way a reflection on the judgment of the career politician who chose her to do so-- John McCain.
I strongly disagree with that position, and fortunately I found someone-- a conservative!-- to...

EXCERPT: From the land of 10,00 lakes, 5,000 fish and 20,000 fish stories, here’s another fish story.    NEW YORK (CNN) -- This week the Republicans gather for their convention. For four days, they will labor under the illusion their party is still relevant. It's not.      It is entirely fitting that the headliner for this masquerade is a feeble looking 72-year-old white guy who doesn't know how many homes he owns.     ...

EXCERPT: o LAST LAUGH FILE: when asked for his take on Corsi's book, Obama Nation, McSame replied, "well, my friend, when you run for president, yuh gotta have a sense of humor!"  Then McSame drives the point home with his selection of a running mate! o  BUT SERIOUSLY, MY FRIENDS: do we need any more evidence of the demise of the GOP? o was Sarah really McSame's choice or was she forced on him by his campaign PooBahs who...
