just my 2 cents....

very unlikely either of these clowns will unseat President Obama. You need a 3rd party candidate or super charismatic candidate like Reagan and Clinton to beat an incumbent. Needless to say that ain’t Romney and any 3rd party candidate will split votes from Willard not Barack. Not in the cards this go-round, teabaggers. why do you think the A-Team guys like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Sarah Palin and Bobby Jindal are on the bench?

Return of the Wack!

Look who's back shilling books in November to fleece more rednecks out of their Christmas cash!  Even during a horrible recession there are hucksters out there making millions off the mindless masses, unbelievable isn't it?  God Bless America, indeed!

PPP Poll: Obama 46% Palin 46%

The info is here.

President Obama trails former Governors Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in this poll. Now I'm no Nate Silver, so I dunno the samples or demographics and how all that breaks down, but PPP is a pretty good outfit from what I have heard. I know it's early, and we have a loooooooong way to go till 2012, but just, WOW!

OK, Mitt Romney I can sort of understand being ahead of Obama right now thanks to his supposed "Mr. fix-it business credentials" (which really only consists of laying people off and outsourcing). Mike Huckabee I can understand being ahead because he is an amiable fellow with a populist-type agenda that is appealing to a good number of religious folk. Newt Gingrich I can understand because he was Speaker during an economically prosperous time and he takes every opportunity to point that out. Once the campaign begins though, they will tear out each other's throats over Romney's flip-flopping and "socialist" Massachusetts health care program, then Huckabee's "populism" and parolee issues, and finally Newt's congressional ethical issues and queasy personal past. So yeah they may all be ahead now but I wouldn't put too much stock in those numbers because the campaigns against them have not begun. But PALIN!?!?! Any attack against her only emboldens her cult-like fans, so I highly doubt any attacks from her primary opponents would affect her numbers.

Truth is, I understand her appeal to many right-wingers. She's good-looking, confident, ambitious, she hunts, she's a god-fearing woman, she's pro-life with a beautiful handi-capable boy to prove it, she talks like the righties and doesn't have a "fancy schmancy" Ivy League education just like they don't. I think she'd fit right in as a host with the airheads on "Fox & Friends" and would make for a fascinating reality show. But as a President?!?!?! Someone completely unqualified for the job? Someone who quit her term as Governor halfway through? Someone who went to 5 different colleges and won't say why or release her grades? Someone who saw an opening to shake down every hillbilly in America and grabbed it? Someone whose family fits in better at the "Jerry Springer Show" than the White House? Someone determined to continue the culture wars that have just about destroyed our political system? Someone who uses the same five words in every sentence: "commonsense", "Reagan", "God", "socialist" and "troops"? Someone who wants to run the country closer to the ideals of the Bible? Someone who won't be interviewed outside of the confines of Fox News? Someone who never held a press conference while running for Vice President? I could go on and on....

We already had one dunce who grabbed control of our country, a country that had a surplus and good relations with most of the world, and blew it all to hell, leaving us in a near-depression. And now 46% of this country wants to vote in his female equivalent? How can this be?

Heckuva job, Arizona

Arizona's draconian new immigration law has already led to a case of racial profiling of an American-born citizen. A Mexican-American born in Fresno was detained until his wife went all the way to Arizona to take him his birth certificate. I was born in the San Joaquin Valley and I'm latino, just like this guy. So I can be thrown in jail and detained in Arizona if I don't have my birth certificate. Does that sound like America to you? That sounds like a motherfucking police state, like North Korea or China to me.

This law is un-American and unconstitutional, but how much you wanna bet the Teabaggers don't protest it? Noooo, they'd rather protest against non-existent things like "death panels" and "FEMA concentration camps". When their corporate overlords like Dick Armey or media masters like Rush, Beck and Palin don't tell them what to do, these dunces are totally lost and unable to form their own opinions. They have never protested Wall Street for crashing the economy either!

I'd trade in the Teabaggers for the illegal immigrants anyday!

ready for another religious rant?

How do fucking idiots like Tim Tebow and Sarah Palin get people to pay them hundreds and thousands of dollars to hear them speak in this country? and hell, Canada too? In the midst of a horrible recession no less?! How can people be so duped into lining the pockets of these ignorant fools as long as they “stand up for what they believe for” and “speak for them”?

Then again people still attend and give money to the appallingly corrupt Catholic Church so I really shouldn’t be shocked at how these fairy-tale religions continue to sucker the sheeple!

Tina Fey is a genius

nuff said!

ZOMG! The Death Panels are open for business!

Today the House passed a half-assed Health Care Reform bill, a supposed "government takeover" of the health care system that is err, neither a single-payer system or even one with a public-option, but whatever, don't let the facts cloud the issue! It's the end of the world as we know it! Take a look at some of the apocalyptic messages at one of my favorite right-wing nutjob websites, Hot Air, the demon spawn of the one-and-only Child-Stalkin' Michelle Malkin:

How long before we have to report to the internment camps?

So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.

Pcoop on March 21, 2010 at 10:52 PM

I feel sick. I would say Palin is now a shoo-in for 2012 but I don’t know if we’ll even have a country left by then.

The National Debt Meter just exploded.

The Doomsday clock just jumped past midnight.

Code Red.

DEFCON 2

portlandon on March 21, 2010 at 11:08 PM

The democrats have signed their own death warrant and the House has become the hearse of democracy. This is worse than the attack on America at Pearl Harbor whick was by our external enemies. This strike at the heart of America is by our own government. I never thought I would live to see this day, and I am disgusted and depressed.

Dhuka on March 21, 2010 at 11:09 PM

Can you believe these fucking idiots? They do nothing but sit in their trailer parks all day, gorging on ice cream bought at China's favorite retailer Wal-Mart, listening to limp-dick Rush Limbaugh and crybaby-shock-jock Glenn Beck blather on and on and nodding their empty heads at every lie they spew. Now they are seriously mourning the "Death of America" brought upon by Fuhrer Obama, no doubt stocking up on ammo and readying their Sunday-best for the upcoming Rapture. Un-fucking-real!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict the sun will still rise tomorrow, call me crazy, but I'll go on record with that....

ok, 2012 may really be the year of the Apocalypse.....

2012 Presidential Race Poll:

Barack Obama 46%
Sarah Palin 43%

srsly!

Blog Wars erupt on the right

I check out quite a few blogs during the day, left and right wing-oriented, and I must say I am fascinated by what is happening with the right these days. Little Green Footballs, transformed by fledgling musician/cyclist Charles Johnson after 9/11 as a mostly anti-Islam blog, has taken a far more sensible path since Barack Obama was inaugurated, which of course doesn't sit well with the knuckle-dragging, bible-thumping, dead-enders that make up what's left of the Republican Party. I am by no means championing Johnson or his site here, I mean, let's face it, the man is batshit crazy, a Howard Hughes-save and drink his own urine-type if you will, but follow me after the jump to see the all-too-fun civil war he has sparked among the right-wing blogs......

In the past year or so, Charles Johnson has been focusing on the scourge of creationism and it's rising popularity among the right. Well, the bible is the end-all be-all for many conservatives, who pushed back and were purged in big numbers by the control-freak Johnson. Combine that with the rise of the birthers or "nirthers" and Ron Paulians, and Little Green Footballs was soon battling back against the craziest elements of the right. Well, these folks didn't go quietly, they have been pushing back hard on sites such as Michelle Malkin's Hot Air and Ace of Spades, where you can find attacks on Johnson in almost any thread these days. Well, Johnson is pushing back as well, by attacking these sites and their administrators, his former allies. So chummy under the George W. Bush Administration, these right-wingers have turned their fire on each other.....

Master vs. Apprentice

Oh, and apologies to LGF on behalf of our “wingnut blog”..... when a site that gave up blogging about Iran and the New York City terror plot to focus on the urgent threat from creationism tells you you’re falling down on the job, you listen.

I haven’t said anything about him before and hope not to again. I used to love his blog; it’s what inspired me to start blogging, so I get no joy from squabbling with him. But the sneering about “wingnut blogs” was too much. I eat plenty of crap for being an atheist and taking occasional swipes at creationism myself. I criticize Palin and Glenn Beck when a lot of other conservative bloggers don’t. Who is he to accuse me of being some talking-point machine?

Allahpundit on October 13, 2009 at 6:55 PM

so said Hot Air's resident blogger Allahpundit this week, firing back at Charles Johnson, who had the nerve to expose Hot Air's racist wingnut commenters in an ongoing series called "Hot Air Comments of the Day". An LGF reader alerted Johnson to the many racist comments directed at First Lady Michelle Obama as a "wookie" (amongst other names) last month, leading to Hot Air enacting a new comment policy which pissed the racists off even more because they lost an outlet to spread their hate. Well the attacks on Johnson continued at Hot Air and spilled over to Ace of Spades as well, so much so that those sites have devoted entire threads to letting people just bitch about and attack Johnson!

Grab the popcorn

I could go on and on deconstructing the tit-for-tat that has broken out between these sites, but I'm sure you get the gist by now. Will the GOP be the party of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck or will it return to it's more centrist days as the party of George H.W. Bush and Colin Powell? The right-wing blogs are the front-lines of this battle, so sit back, watch them scorch the earth and let's see who survives.....

Hey everyone! Let's have an old-fashioned "Dumb Bitch-Off"! Here goes!:

The winner: The people of Alaska! Do I even have to say why?

Crazy Bitches Be Busting Loose!

ok so July looks like "Crazy Cunt Month" all of a sudden! Let's survey the recent damage shall we?

Former QB Steve McNair shot in the head as he slept by crazy 20 y.o. Iranian slut!

Boxer Arturo Gatti allegedly strangled by crazy drunk wife with a purse strap!

Sarah Palin resigns as Alaska governor, vows to campaign for... Democrats!?

Ghost of child allegedly whispering to Octo-Mom while she takes a shit!

Gay Penguin couple broken up by conniving female whore penguin!

When will the madness end?!?!?

oh no dont trust dis ho!

Palin not under fire from the feds?

So says the L.A. Times. So WTF? Is she really planning to run for President? On what record?

On 2.5 years of experience as the Governor of a cash-flush state with no real problems?

If the economy is still shitty and unemployment is over 10% when 2012 comes around, there's no doubt Obama will be vulnerable. But no way in hell voters would gamble our future on another charismatic politician w/ a flimsy resume. Mitt "I fix businesses" Romney would be the smart choice to take on Obama if that is the case.

On her Jerry Springer-ish "family values"?

Bill Clinton's seedy personal history had to be in the back of some primary voters minds when choosing between Obama and my candidate of choice, Hillary Clinton. Would voters choose to quadruple down on First Family Drama by housing the freak-show Palin brood at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Fuck no!

On her flimsy education and even flimsier intellect?

Voters are in no mood for another retard republican president so soon after Dumbya.....

On her tits and legs?

They can't stay that nice and firm forever!

So what's left for Sarah? Fox News? A reality show to follow Octo-Mom's? Ooooh how about a politcal edition of "The Surreal Life"?! Sarah, Todd and Bristol Palin thrown in a house with Eliot Spitzer, David Vitter, Mark Foley, Mark Sanford, Barney Frank, John Ensign, Larry Craig, Jim McGreevey, Rod Blagojevich and an assorted mix of prostitutes, interns, Argentinian sluts, gay staffers, Ponzi schemers, bathroom stalls and adult diapers!

see ya, Simple Sarah!

Will we see you and Todd in handcuffs soon over your shady housing deal?! What a shocking turn of events! I mean, you were the biggest star of your dying party, the very epitome of the ignorance and intolerance of the dead-enders who make up what's left of the G.O.P.! You had a great shot at the nomination in 2012, before you get too old to give the erectile dysfunctional-Rush Limbaugh crowd the boners their now-supersized wives can no longer give them! You blew it, girl!
