In a debate…what has she done. She hasn’t been a governor that long. I like her, but I don’t know if she is ready. We need to win…they can’t control everything…2012 won’t matter.

She has been a governor and made real change and reform in alaska…Obama did nothing with his 7 years in illinois and when he became senator he has still done nothing…i think its a great choice

I suspect that was because they thought they needed that for the show.

I agree that Juan has been spot-on in terms of seeing through the Uhhbamerr smoke-screens and obfuscations. I think he was more in favor of the Glacier in Pantsuits but wasn’t even that shrill in that direction either. He was also very eloquent in his tributes to Tony Snow. So yeah, I’ve gone from being a Juan detractor to somebody who generally agrees with what he says; and considers what he says even when I don’t agree with him.

Unlike the NYT, which is a PAC of the DNC

Pinch is running a Not-for-profit up in NYC. The SEC hasn’t been told yet, but the IRS sure knows they aren’t tryng to make money very hard.

He and Pat Cadell are the best Democratic strategist/speakers on the air today. They are reasonable, not irrational. They defend the party line well, but do not have to turn around, bend over and twist themselves into knots, like Bob Beckel, to do it!

Juan Williams: McCain’s the real bipartisan deal
Juan Williams sniffed at Barack Obama’s pretense of post-partisanship
last night on Fox News. Williams called it “wishful thinking” and based
on nothing but talk. Williams……

What does Palin bring that Biden doesn’t…besides being a woman.

Conservative (possibly more so even than McCain), well spoken, smart as a whip, young and energetic, photogenic like Obama but with more executive experience, TOTALLY pro-life….

Shall I go on? Biden looks pretty beat here.

Like most of what the left believes, it just “is”.

The debate is over. The debate is a distraction.

Accept what Democrats tell you about themselves and STFU.

Just ask the media, it’s what they do.

He reminds me of what Alan Colmes used to be…a dedicated liberal who didn’t drink the Flavor-Aid (I’m making the cliche more historically accurate). But a few years ago Colmes became little more than an annoying parrot for the left. Sure, more liberals like him, but he blew any chance of reaching conservatives like me.

bipartisan, adj:

Working together with the opposite party against Bush

I understand your line of thinking here, and feel your frustration. However, when I put my emotions and frustrations aside, I must have more trust and faith in the American people. Republicans lost both houses in 06 because of their own bad behavior; selfishness, corruption, lacking in principled behavior, spending our money like drunken Liberals, expanding governments role in civilian life; the list is long… If voters allowed Republicans to behave just like Democrats, we would truly be doomed within a few generations. The balance must remain consistent; Liberals have moved the Democrat Party way to the left (socialism), while Republicans suddenly found themselves being dragged along for the ride despite having control of all three houses. Bush has been steady and strong on the war and protecting the American homeland. However, Bush expanded the government and spent our money like a radical Liberal. Republicans deserved to get thrown out on their asses; had to happen if we are to maintain that most critical balance between the (2) parties. Hopefully Republicans have learned something over the past few years, and hopefully the country has been reminded of the insanity that comes with Democrats. A simple look at Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid leaves most folks sick in their stomachs.

God knows I’ve thrown enough verbal daggers at the little SOB over the years for MAVERICK!*

**when I say MAVERICK! I have this mental image of him going Queeg flying his A-4 trying to buzz the tower ala TopGun but flaming out and planting the scooter instead….in a metaphorical sense him always walking away from the flaming tower while the dying CAG is yelling “MAVERICK!” with his last breath is a metaphor for Juan’s ability to foster party unity…..
