Palin Power!<3

[Pumona]

LB, You are completly right by saying: The answer on that is we have to break many of our bad spending habits and live more within our means. We learned a hard lesson at home a couple years ago when I got layed off. I had to take a four dollar paycut. To compansate we had to carpool to work everyday. Before I got layed off we were paying around 700 a month on gas for our vehicles, now it is betwen 200 and 300. Yes when I graduate I will look for a job closer to home. Anyway there are alot of people that are spending beyond there means and need to cut back. My family just isn't one of them.

Unfortunately too many people, and Dave Ramses will agree, that just think debt is something they can afford. However, I dislike Dave Ramses for the fact that he makes it seem like you can just automatically get two jobs and pay it off (/took a class)

My family hates debt, we don't like it, and we only get in it for things like houses and cars. I think our government reflects our citizens. "Debt is just a status that goes away with time."

So you're saying we should just sit on our fat lazy asses while other people starve? Yeah, that's good morals there... ban the gays, save the babies, allow the rest to live in utter chaos stare

No, actually.....i think you did say that. whee

Gee, thanks for clearing everything up. Banning gay marriage isn't on your agenda, got it wink

No, actually it is. But that's not the point here.  

[Rainbowfied Mouse]

Actually it was.

you

Obama is always taking vacations with his family, so is Biden, adn Hilary is around touring Africa.

Why? They can't help us. Most of those countires are third world countires.

me

Hillary is helping Africa get started on civil rights campaigns. I don't think you realize the chaos that goes on outside America. As I recall, Bush was one of the presidents to have the most vacations ever!

you

You did -quotes-

Oh, so you're not for banning gay marriage?

I personally think its a good thing for Obama to take vacations, when the government takes vacation- that's when they're not passing stimulus or raising taxes.
So, let Obama spend time with his family, he does less damage.

QFT. I wish more presidents would take this economic approach in general. The economy should be left to self correct. Prolonged government intervention and attempts to avoid recessions have helped plunge us into this mess. Economies need recessions. Period. They are part of the natural business cycle. Trying to avert them is like damming a river; you can pile on and pile on material to hold back the water, but eventually the built up pressure will overwhelm it and come roaring through like flood water.

Edit: This guy does a good job of explaining the utility of recessions to an economy, and in 2007 predicted the current one and its features with frightening accuracy:

You said, "ban the gays". You never specified "ban gay marrriage" which is what I'm for. I don't wan to "ban" gay people, I want to ban gay marriage. There is a big difference.

Unfortinitly I think you are right. The liberal media is not helping Palin at all and they might hurt her if she does run for president. I believe a lot of Conservatives would like to see her run and win the presidency. I know I would. wink

(UPDATE SEPT 22) It has been pointed out on the comments section of this blog that this list is the list of books banned at one point or another in the U.S. (very distrubing in it’s own right). Sarah Palin did not ask that all these books be banned - but, if you listen to interviews with the librarian from Wisilla you would get the impression that she was no PRO library either….

Below is a list of the books Sarah Palin tried to have banned from the Wasilla, Alaska Library. When I was in Anchorage two years ago, residents of Wasilla I met described the place as a growing, more-and-more suburban community north of Anchorage. In her speech, Palin called the area “the valley.” Mayor Palin would seem to be a strong force in the suburbanization of the village of Wasilla. When the Wasilla librarian refused to trash these books, Mayor Palin tried to have her fired. This caused a stir in Wasilla which then turned into a drive to protect the librarian. Some of my favorite examples of American literature are on this list. This is the act of a patriotic American? No, this is the act of a religious fundamentalist trying to squeeze herself into the role of a mythic frontier American. The attempt to ban American literary masterpieces like Catcher In The Rye, Grapes Of Wrath, To Kill A Mockingbird, Death Of A Salesman, Leaves Of Grass, As I Lay Dying, Huckleberry Finn, Catch 22 and Tarzan indicates, flags and Bible citations aside, her ascendance to national power would be downright un-American. In the realm of Rovian political marketing and the unfolding effort to win the Presidency not with ideas but with a cult of personality, McCain is the humiliated warrior ready to “go to the gates of hell” to preserve American exceptionalism and Sarah Palin is his fascist “bride,” a mythic frontier mom able to shoot, gut and cook a moose while nurturing her family who has said publicly our war in Iraq is supported by God and people should pray to God to get the Alaska gas pipeline approved.

This is a pivotal moment in American history, and we all need to expose this cult of personality for what it is, a cynical sham. Please pass this on far and wide.
