Yeah, but when you turn 18 your mom will be legally entitled to give you the boot too.

Its funny because of what she had to write down:

- Energy
-Budget Cuts (Budget is crossed out and "tax" is written underneath)
-Lifting American Spirit

In otherwords, the same boiler-plate right wing slogans that every republican has said in every public appearance in the past 30 years. How did she need to write that down?

If you locked me in a dungeon without contact with the outside world for 30 more years and then came and said "guess what 3 things the Republican candidate said at their speech last night, I would guess those 3 things.

I mean, its worse than if you saw Arnold Schwartzenegger had "I'll be back" written on his hand. Or if Michael Moore had "Corporations = bad" written on his.

Too funny, Sarah.

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:

You know that sort of angry you get because they just won't go away?

THAT'S the kind of angry people get.

Is that it? Jeez, I should get irrationally batshit over Jack Layton, Al Franken (who somehow got onto the US Senate. That's scary shit) and other left wing agitators too, but I don't.

If you want her to go away, just ignore her. Seriously, it's that simple. [/quote]

What is truly ironic here is that the leftists who keep on agitating about Palin are the same people who are making her a viable political contender to the right. If you people (you know who you are) would stop going off about Palin and get on with life she'd actually start fading from public view.

But if you're going to make on as if it is some sort of scandal of international significance everytime the woman opens her mouth then don't be surprised to one day find out that she owes her political viability to YOU.

Who knew the left had such influence? But it does demonstrate nicely that the rabid rightists are just a bunch of pavolovian dogs, get em to salivate just by ringing the right bells, no higher cognition involved at all.

Come on all you lefties, keep agitating about Palin. Let's get her elected CIC. Watching her govern would be a better gong show than when shrub was in power. The US is going down no matter who they elect, so might as well have some fun on the way.

Wow! There are some incredibly defensive people here. Being Canadian, I don’t vote in American elections. American Politics is a spectator sport for me. Actually it’s often more of a sketch comedy.

Palin is a boob and was caught doing something a sixth grade kid would know better not to do. If you put crib notes on your hand, you’re not supposed to hold it up for all to see, or better yet, if you want to be a politician, be sure that you have half a clue about what your talking points are supposed to be.

If the Republicans are hanging their hat on “Barbie”, there’s going to be a whole lot more comedy coming over the airwaves.

If we go 'down' then guess who's coming along for the ride?

No, I expect that much like your last major partisan meltdown in the late 1800's we'll just wait it out again.

I gotta agree with Bart on this one. We've never learned to stand on our own two feet. The other thing is it's not just economically but socially that the US seems to be in trouble. And that's sure to spill across the border as well. Well, it already has really.

Thank you. I wasn't making a snarky comment, but pointing out what you said that Canada is not prepared to stand on her own - something I've consistently advocated.

Canada is most certainly vulnerable in an economic sense. If the US economy does go into collapse then given that we're 80% and more of your trade then Canada will certainly feel our pain.

But as you pointed out, the social divide of the conservative and liberal US states also is present in the Canadian provinces. Were the US to fracture along political lines I don't see Ontario and Quebec as having the sense to stay out of it. They'd absolutely align with the liberal US states and that could potentially cause Alberta and etc. to align with the conservative states.

At its conclusion such a fragmentation could result in a very interesting political map of North America.
