    Can you imagine Palin screwing that up as badly as the "Zero" did? The progressives and faux-centrists here would be twitching over their keyboards with rage.

    I think they are as well......

    Independents make up the largest voting block right now. Party fundamentalism and partisanship in general are getting rejected.

    I think independents are still the minority in reality. However GOPs and Dems are already pretty much locked in votes so the independents wield the most power with politicians during the general elections.

    Well, it's still a 2 party system. In terms of voting, Independents don't have a lot of choice. Their votes will certainly go mostly to one of the 2 main parties.......Thus giving the illusion that whoever wins has an overwhelming "mandate" to pursue a partisan agenda like Obama did.....

    President will be busy with payroll tax and other bills in a couple of weeks. That was the reason for premature celebration as Obama himself indicated in his Hanukkah speech.
    So you can now stop your fake outrage and start searching Drudge and Faux for a new daily dose of manufactured controversy.

    In the 57th State (Puerto Rico) Hanukkah is celebrated with the lighting of all the candles at once followed by a nice sip of rum.... Right Liberal ball huggers!??? AMIRITE?

    I guess since we are now making up names for things for any reason, such as calling the Ft. hood shooting, workplace violence, we can now celebrate holidays on days when they do not even exist.

    Cast whatever label makes you feel better. I reserve respect for people who address my arguments logically. Those who think I'm trying to hide who I am or that I am not who I say I am are really going way to far and getting way too personal in what is in reality a very impersonal forum in which very few people realistically know each other.

    Stick to making arguments against what I say, if you disagree. If it's easier for you to call me a name or throw me in a category than make an argument, I understand.

    ROFL! You were less than logical in this thread and many others. Sorry... I no longer buy your "Centric" / "Moderate" ruse. Sell it elsewhere.

    Get over yourself. I'm not trying to sell you anything or misrepresenting myself.

    Yep......Stick to making arguments against what I say, if you disagree. If it's easier for you to call me a name or throw me in a category than make an argument, I understand.

    Oh that Maverick. Thanks for the clarification.

    Did Sarah light all the Hanukkah candles at the same time?
    Did Sarah visit 57 states?
    Did Sarah vote "present" more than yea/nea?
    Did Sarah have zero accomplishments prior to running for an executive position?
    Did Sarah bowl under 70 then insult the Special Olympics?
    Did Sarah speak of Nancy Reagan's seances when it was actually Hillary Clinton?
    Did Sarah mention her "Muslim Faith"?
    Did Sarah insult the Cambridge Police Department?
    Did Sarah mispronounce "Corpsman" (the "ps" is silent)?
    Did Sarah claim that rural Americans are clinging to their guns and religion?


    What Sarah did is rise from a small town and make it on her own.
    What Sarah did is out the corrupt from her own party.
    What Sarah did is beat the incumbents in her own party.
    What Sarah did is overall cut earmarks and pork.
    What Sarah did is push through the TransCanada Pipeline.
    What Sarah did is push through legislation to get Alaska on 50% renewables by 2025.


    Sarah has far more accomplishments than Barack Obama when she was running for VP and he for President.

    You can now thank me for educating you. Go ahead... say thanks. :-D

    Obama celebrates all religious feasts, but no Christian ones.
