Conservatives took it really badly when she noticed that Palin was a fucking train wreck, and still seem disinclined to give her any credence despite -- or perhaps because of -- the fact that she nailed it.Thomas L.

"It's a tacit admissio...Smitty I love ya!<br />"It's a tacit admission that we all know the numbers are a godforsaken lie, a propaganda move, a fart in a thunderstorm."<br />How true.<br />In 1963 I was taking an advanced Micro (economics on a country level) class. One of our (many) tasks was to figure out how much the 1963 inflation rate the gumit reported would have been had JFK not rigged the weights. the 1963 inflation rate using Ike's weights would have been 5.9% Using the "new improved" weights it was only 2.5^! JFK knew his tax hikes (do not let liberals, including collectivist GOPers fool you. JFK was a GWB tax and spend man. One example: because Social Sec was in serious danger (has anyone heard this before?)he tripled the tax from $45 to $150! Knowing that raising taxes (unless you raise them to the extreme) raises prices aka inflation he changed the weights to minamixe the impact of his tax hikes on inflation.<br />2 years earlier in a basic Econ class one of the recommended books was FIGURES DONT LIE BUT LIARS CAN FIGURE i know not if the book is still in print but think it is well worth the read.

She's just switched from being a true commentator to a fascinating relic of old ways of thinking. <br /><br />Back in the days when you learnt about the day over your cup of tea and gossip at the country club, before it was tooth and claw but also true spirit and pride.<br /><br />She's a thermometer for how the old guard is continuously confused by all this and who is in the White House; how they don't understand that we're all so educated and don’t believe in their games all of a sudden.

Both parties are involved and it's just the way business is done inside the beltway. When Maxine Waters told house members that Rangel wasn't the only one of them who was guilty of tax evasion, effectively quashing any official action, there should have been a cacophonous hue and cry from republicans but barely a peep emoted.<br />The people have to get rid of these politicians and the only principled movement is from the right. All, and as broad as that is, all movement from the left is a well heeled media driven phenomena. <br />The republican party is a sham too. Just the other face on a crooked, trick shop, coin that always comes up heads and the political masters always the winners.<br />It has to start by doing what Hoffman is doing and then too in the primaries. Finding some reasonable citizen who can suffer the outrageous treatment from the DNC and RNC and stand up to these monsters.<br />I fear we are already too late.Beto_Ochoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15076511352920839840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-82232150055632718842009-10-30T19:46:17.866-04:002009-10-30T19:46:17.866-04:00Believe me, I'm against the Progressive moveme...Believe me, I'm against the Progressive movement. Obama's economic program is abominable. His social policies are racialist and destructive of individual liberty. His advisors are eugenicists and worse.<br /><br />But lets' be honest conservatives. The Republican Party has failed us, too. We had a Republican Congress. They spent like drunken Democrats in a Shanghai whorehouse.<br /><br />There is a path forward, but it's not through the Republican establishment. Smitty's take on Newt's endorsement of Scuzzyfuzzy is a bulls eye. But it's far, far worse. By and large the GOP is an apparatchik of rich monied interests, just as much as the Democratic Party. The only difference is that the GOP still has a base that believes in limited government, even if the party leaders don't<br /><br />We must bind the RNC in the chains of popular will, drive them naked in the streets so all can see their perfidy, and imprison them in a salt mine full of the rabid dogs they favor over their base.<br /><br />We must take back the Republican Party to defend the Union and the Constitution. That is our first battle. The RNC is enemy number one. They are collaborators and traitors. We are led by the enemy.<br /><br />Only when the RNC and their collaborators languish in ignominious banishment will conservatives be ready to demolish the monstrous edifice of the Progressive State.The Javelineerhttp://javelineer.comnoreply@blogger.com
