Republicans were given control of Congress to stop Obamacare.
Wrong on multiple levels. The most obvious being that Republicans were not given control of Congress.

Then that leads to the best of the best of my political dreams;
Gridlock in DC. Nothing gets done so they can't make things worse.
and therein lies the ultimate difference between us. i don't hate government. and people who do hate government should never be in power.
as for divisiveness... i will try to find the numbers. no question that the right hates obama, but the middle doesn't. they voted for him and will do so again if the economy keeps turning around.... the middle will never vote for palin. she's now even dividing republicans (see o/p).
so i think you're seeing it through partisan colored glasses.
Isn't it strange that all the politicians who run on hating government keep running to get re-elected to government.
Here's something really strange....the guy who ran for President and is sitting in the oval office is the same guy who said he was going to change Washington, but all he showed us were locked rooms out of camera range, bribes, lying about posting bills on the internet for 5 days and then lying about what is in the health care bill.
Heard it on MSNBC this morning so take it for what it's worth, but at this point in the run up to the '08 election it was gonna be between Hillary and Rudy. But the point is a lot can and likely will happen between now and when both parties have their candidates for '12.
oh no question. a lot will happen between now and the election. but i do feel it's necessary to counter the palin-heads constant barrage of nonsense.
i do agree with you, though... anything can happen. no one expected the economy to melt down in october 2008... and that probably changed everything.
Well, I don't know if Obama is 'surging' per se. He still ahs work to do among independents. But it is clear that Palin in down 18 points in her approval rating from a year ago and her negatives keep going up. oops...
Nothing found for Blog 2010 12 49-of-republican-voters-say-they-are-likely-to-support-sarah-palin-in-gop-primary
and lest any of the palin people whine that this is a biased link, it's from American Conservative Values.
Well sugar plum, for starters, we don't think Palin is gonna be in the running. Secondly. obie wan know nutting isn't surging. And, with his moratorium on drilling and gas soon to be $5.00 per gallon he can look to go back to his community organization. He failed in large scale community organizing.
Gas needs to be $5 a gallon. I do not like Obama but he Bush, no one has any control over the demand and our addiction to oil.
We could drill all we want and it would still be $5 a gallon.
Just like SPENDING is the problem in Washington, DEMAND is the problem with oil.
We demand and waste too much of it.
Same with spending. Can't have it both ways. Conservatives should be leading the charge to CONSERVE.

Wow, where do people get the notion that the Left is obsessed and terrified of Palin?
Mocking condescension =/= fear. Palin is no more feared than Joe Biden. That "Fear" muse is just an indignant little thing Republicans do to mask the epic stupidity of putting such a person in a potential position of power.
If you voted for Obama.... go look in the mirror and repeat that statement.
You idiots are so transperant.
Judges have opinions on the Constitution, and sadly they can be changed with popular opinion.
Take abortion. It got passed due to the right to privacy. Every Conservative of faith lost thier minds and some that don't have faith.

There is a very good reason she has signed with FAUX News, a truth free zone...
But her peeps still love her...what's up with that?

While there is a cursory case that popular opinion influences national elections that in turn influences judges nominated to the USSC, I find it difficult to believe the right wing fascist dogma of the Supreme Court a reflection of such opinion.

A very interesting analysis. Are you saying that religion implies a lack of privacy? Wasn't the basis for the "establishment" clause that people enjoyed a right to privacy where religion was concerned?
But what I find that boggles the mind that "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures..." does not, in the minds of the right wingers, imply the existence of personal privacy...
Hahahahah, the superhero Obama is surging.
up up and awayyyyyyy.
Time for another Nobel Peace prize i guess.
You'll never guess who said: "Hawaii just isn't an American-sounding name, like Alaska."
And she has millions of right wing supporters and is considered a presidential candidate...
I think Palin loves her spot as a "kingmaker" (in her own brain)...without the total scrutiny or responsibility of actually running. Power with no responsibility + moneymaking. She'll stay where she is.
I've been saying this for a while... I am 99.9% convinced she will not be running in 2012...
She holds no elected position, so she can swing at will against any policy she disagrees with... This has and will continue to make her $$, so I don't think she'd want to spend it running for President... There's a lot of money to be made making the left go nuts over her...
but she won't have to spend her own money to run.
you could be right. on the other hand, i think she's purely ego-driven. i don't think she'll be able to help herself.
but it would mean she has to stop being the tweeting twit and actually engage on a mature political level.

You'll never guess who thought we had 57 states....
I don't think SP will even be nominated. She has been so over exposed for so long. I predict that one day she will wake up and nobody will care. She won't even be able to get a tv interview unless she becomes a serial killer.
I hope her ego can take it when her time is up. Because I think it's coming.

*He claimed that Kansas tornadoes killed a whopping 10,000 people: In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died an entire town destroyed. The actual death toll: 12.
I also heard this morning that Palin's negative rating is 58% - IN ALASKA, second only to very blue Massachusetts.Heard it on MSNBC this morning so take it for what it's worth, but at this point in the run up to the '08 election it was gonna be between Hillary and Rudy. But the point is a lot can and likely will happen between now and when both parties have their candidates for '12.
And they know her better than anyone.
Only because she took some state repubs to the wood shed. Disrupt the gravy train, get reduced support.
On that note the US will not cut spending or increase taxes in any meaningful way.

Which is a shame, because she's nailed all the winning issues.
Which is why the MSM wants another McCain.
