C'mon McCain Supporters. Force McCain to Dump Palin. This Isn't Funny Anymore.

'Different' is great when you're trying a new restaurant or something.

I don't believe you are being intellectually honest if you like this kind of different near the nuclear football.

What has she said or done that makes you think she'd play with the football?

Reagan was indeed the greatest president since Kennedy ..... That is well established by BOTH Reps and Dems .... there is no question about it!!!! Anyone who even suggests otherwise, is not a student of politics and just an idealog.

Reagan was president when I was in the military..... I was assigned to the Warsaw Pact Line if war ever broke out.... I, WE, would've gone to hell and back for Reagan. Something I cant say for any other president.

I cried when Reagan died.

Loyalty of military men is a strange indiciator of greatness of rulers. Men were willing to die for fuhrer aplenty, does it mean he was a great ruler?

I'm a Jew, so I may just be biased, but her beliefs that the earth is about 6 or 8 thousand years old, and that Jesus needs to come back again soon make me really, really uncomfortable.

Quote from IShopAtPublix:

What was so great about Reagan? The cult of personality of Reagan requires republicans to build a mausoleum since they seem to be stuck in the 80s.

How about the cult of Clinton?

easily the same.

balanced budget? In spite of him not because of him. He was in no way in favor of this until until '94 when newt and Co. decimated Dem controlled congress on a balanced budget platform. THEN he was all for it. he had the tech boom revenues behind him which made such a difficult prospect easy, and then left office shortly after the bust in march of 2000.

The general public credits Clinton for a balanced budget and booming economy when it had nothing to do with him. its the same thing.

Before you attack me as a right wing nut job, I should state that I now hate both parties. Spend spend spend. And lets be as bi partisan as possible.

I just call it as I see it.

Clinton did not saddle the country with 4+ trillion in moronic spending. He actually TRIED to balance the budget. Dubya could not care less. As Dick Cheney said "Deficits don't matter" Yes the tech boom happened not because of Clinton but Clinton did not waste trillons of dollars on moronic pet projects. That is just some of the difference

Another rightwinger full of fantasy.

Clinton signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 in August 1993, which passed Congress without a Republican vote. It cut taxes for fifteen million low-income families, made tax cuts available to 90% of small businesses, and raised taxes on the wealthiest 1.2% of taxpayers. Additionally, through the implementation of spending restraints, it mandated the budget be balanced over a number of years.

I wonder what color the sky is in your world, because it surely must be different from the sky here on Earth.

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

I'll admit she was terrible in the Couric interview, but I find it insulting that a woman whose job consists of reading stuff off a teleprompter presumes to act like she is somehow intellectually superior. As far as I know Couric doesn't have a Harvard PHD, and frnakly, I doubt she stays up nights reading articles in Foreign Affairs. But then, I'm pretty sure Reagan didn't either and he was the greatest president of my lifetime.

Palin's problem is not that she's dumb. It's that she's too honest. A Biden would have rattled off a half dozen serious sounding publications he saw on the rack at the newstand, while he was under fire in Afghanistan.

You look back at presidents, and I defy you to draw a correlation between intelligence and how successful they were as presidents. Two of the smartest were Nixon and Clinton. No one would say they were great presidents. One got forced out of office, the other almost did and disgraced his office in numerous ways. No one would put Reagan and Truman at the top of any list of intellectuals, and they acquitted themselves very well in office. JFK was polished but not overly bright either, and people loved him. Jimmy Carter was a brilliant, accomplished man but a terrible president. I could go on. Qualities like judgment, courage and the ability to inspire trust are far more important than mastering a lot of arcane facts. Choosing a good staff is essential. Being lucky helps a lot too.

Wisdom is the principal thing.

Katie Couric has a bachelor's degree from university of virginia. It is a solid private institution that is not easy to get into. Definitely beats University of Idaho any time of day or night. As to whether she is smarter than Palin you can take it to the bank.

over a number of years. As every politician in the history of America has said. Eventually.

Newt and The Contract for America mandated immediately. That is my sky. I was in my 30's at the time and very into politics. Were you even out of college? And once again, raise taxes on the people who create jobs.
