Helen Guerglis would make a better American President than Sara Palin.

A great many people would make a better president than Palin. Hell, even the lot of us here on CKA would.

If one of the Tea Party leaders made a comment to this effect you could write it off to a brain fart, but when you go through the trouble of designing a bill board and funding it that means to me that you really mean it and believe it.

I don't know if some moron from the lunatic fringe put this thing up or whether that is the a position of the National tea party as a whole.

The thing is, there isn't a National Tea Party. That is one of the things that makes it so easy for people to pick and choose their own faces to represent the group as a whole. I can go find a granny on the street that says the government spends too much and she doesn't like such and such policies of the current administration. Someone else goes and finds a nutter who thinks that Obama is the bastard son of Satan. Both will profess to be members of the Tea Party. It makes it very easy for people to draw simplistic pictures to fit their own prejudices regarding the movement.

Say, like Hyperion repeating the line that they're only calling for tax cuts. It's either a lie, or he's ignorant of the presence of many other messages. It frankly gets on my nerves, but I'm trying to ignore it.

And that's why they'll never get anywhere ,despite their constant bleating. There are too many disparate movements that call themselves the Tea Party to ever have a cohesive national voice.

Yes, The people on CKA are quite intelligent people, more than a bit eccentric,, but good good people non the less.

Sara Palin is on a high now, but that bubble will burst. I hope it bursts before she manages to screw up Congress.

This has been done before, by that other party, albeit, not quite so tastelessly or on as large a scale as this.

And here's the proof.

If this is what politics in the US has become they can have it and I sincerely hope their warped vision of what the world should be never spills over into Canada.

Zombietime is a great site. I highly recommend that link to anyone who thinks that comparisons to Hitler and such are a new political development. It doesn't excuse those who do make such comparisons, but it puts a lot of the partisan hyperbole in perspective. As I and others have always maintained, there are crazies on both ends. Don't make the mistake of characterizing a group by a few bad apples.

So you believe there is a more intelligent message out there than is something positive here outside the brainless lunatic fringe?

I do agree in that I think I see a lot of their potential political force wasted, but I think it is doing wonders for energizing conservative America in the short run. I wonder what Rick Santelli thinks of all that's going on now?

[xerxes]

There always is. The problem is, as always, the crazies get the spotlight and the lead on the evening news.

There's no money or viewers in reasonable discourse.

I think there is much more good to be found in the Tea Party movement that there is evil, but I do not deny the presence of either in the larger mass of individuals.

Now now, I am trying to be diplomatic. It isn't polite to insult the other group to their faces. Much better to save that for when we're gathered in some dark boardroom, smoking cigars and planning the oppression of the proletariat.

I guess you never get tired of being wrong

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardless

And there is 405,000 on google. so Merriam says its a word, it's in common usage.


But thanks for trying to derail the thread

[ShepherdsDog]

It's no more a word than 'ain't', but thanks for playing. As a concession, it looks like your losing streak remains unbroken. And, if you feel something as minor as that comment derails your train of thought, then you have larger issues to deal with than slang.

Considering that it was one of George Bush's favorite "Bushisms" (Another "non-word" , word that had gained general acceptance) along with such highlights as "bring 'em on" (they did) i thought you would have appreciated the magnanimous gesture i was offering to our deluded members of the right now that the right in the US is int the process of taking their country back to the 19th century

But to remind you of the rights headier days.

Now that i've dealt with your "issue", do you have anything meaningful to add? Or are you just unable to come up with anything that actually deals with the topic at hand.
