This past weekend Sarah Palin's gave a rousing speech at the "National Tea Party Convention". She energized several hundred, "yes hundred", attendees as she railed against big government, taxes and the educated leader of our country, President Barack Obama.

Well, with all that said, I felt that we "the opposition Democrat party elite" should collectively give Sarah Palin "a hand" for the great job she did.

Wait, wait, wait, I forgot one thing. We or at least one of us should do the right thing and give Palin "a hand" that does not sweat out crib notes during her Q&A sessions. Darnit, I let the cat out of the bag, but there is more.

It's too early to say that the health care reform bill will in fact pass when the senate votes, but if it does it is time to unite for the greater good.

Division and pride together are the two simpliest and most destructive factors that a group, a body, a team or a political party could ever allow to fester when trying to make positive change.

The Democrats during the 2008 Democratic primaries should have learned by now that silly movements like the PUMAs (Party Unity My A..) are for sore losers who need to get a life. HRC was wise enough after all of her initial nonsense (surrounded by Lanny Davis and other party killers) to go into the 2008 Democratic convention with a unifying mindset. She destroyed the division movement right there on the convention floor and now we the Democratic party are the majority in power. Bottom line unity trumps division all the time because the former utilizes the multitudes of available resources while the latter tries to succeed with an undermanned faction. PUMAs are dead, their cause is dead and so will the cause of the "Kill the Bill Liberals" end...dead.

I am disgusted that all the dairies on this site are calling for killing the health reform bill. All of the authors are expressing their discontent with the current bill and in some strange way appear as though they will derive some pleasure, albeit morbid, if the bill does in fact get killed keeping the uninsured...uninsured.

Now, I would agree that the bill should be stripped of mandates; the bill should either include a public option or a medicare buy-in; and yes, the bill should be harsher against the unscrupulous insurers, but killing the bill is not the answer.

Yes, it may be the answer for republicans and left-wing fanatics who want it all now or don't want anything at all. I can assure you that in killing the bill you/we/the uninsured won't get anything with that strategy.

I'm going to keep this simple. Y'all have lost your minds. Judging from the sudden outcry fro you fairweather democratic supporters of health care reform who are SCREAMING "KILL THE BILL!"; "KILL THE BILL"; "KILL THE BILL".

I bet it's easy for you to say if you stand to be minially impacted, i.e. you have health care and felt it only necessary to pass the strongest health care reform bill possible to not only stake your claim in the pending historic bill but also to put egg in the face of the digusting centrist democracts and the despicable far right.

Well I have news for you, health care is bigger than your feelings.

By now many of you have received that scary CD from the Clarion Fund regarding radical Islam called C*session (i.e. a play on Obsession).

http://en.wikipedia.org/...

What a coincidence? There just happens to be a democratic candidate who is within six days from winning the Presidency with a name which some republicans interpret to mean that he is a muslim and is also linked to radical Islam. Who would'a thunk it?

Next, I received a call from a supposed un-biased automated pollster (identified only as Survey2000) regarding who I would be voting for on November 4th in the Presidential election.

As soon as I responded that I was voting for Barack Obama the automated questionnaire became combative. Go figure. There's more...

McCain and Palin's claims' that 16,000,000 small businesses will be negatively impacted by Barack Obama's tax plan is absurd. Now I know that I am preaching to the choir here but I felt compelled to discredit not only McCain and Palin, but also that lying fraud Samuel Wurzelbacher, AKA "Joe the Plumber".

As of 2002 there were only 5,697,759 employer-based firms in the entire United States of America which is roughly only a quarter of all small businesses. There is actually three times more self-employed people in America---almost all of them make much less than $250,000.00 annually.

In 2005 the number of employer-based firms approached, but was still shy of, 6,000,0000. As of 2005 there were over twenty million non-employer-based firms which again on average earned far less than $250,000.00 per year. (Note I could not locate the complete data set from 2005 for this post.)

Thus, with great certainty I can say that McCain and Palin are simply lying when they trump up their attack that 16,000.000 small businesses will be hurt by Obama's tax plan.

This just in. Nancy Pfotenhauer of the McCain Campaign has taken up the Palin torch in describing the "Southern" parts of the state of Virginia as "Real Virgnia" on MSNBC.

MSNBC news correspondent Kevin Corke gave Ms. Pfotenhauer a chance to recant her statement but she would have none of it. Corke, said, and I paraphrase, "I'm going to give you a chance to get back off that ledge", as he questioned Ms. Pfotenhauer about her statement regarding people in "Real Virginia". Again, Ms. Pfotenhauer held fast to her notion that people in Northern Virginia were simply metro Washington, D.C. migrants that did not hold the values of Southern Virginians, i.e. "Real Virginians".

Corke was visibly dumbfounded by Ms. Pfotenhauer's comments as he noted that he was in Washington, D.C. and did not share her distinction. Ms. Pfotenhauer continued on as she revealed that she was a resident of the northern VA city of Oakton and tried to sway Mr. Corke to support her view but he did not bite at all.
