Really?  We waterboarded exactly three detainees?  And what information, precisely, did we extract from that?  Sources please.

To you and MrShy, my comment was meant to communicate that I give credit to Bush for presiding over a country which was not attacked again after 9/11.  But it would be a huge stretch to posit causality between that fact and Iraq, The Patriot Act, and Guantanamo.  Correlation, yes.  Big difference.

As to all of the Palin bashing, you are not qualified to judge her and her accomplishments.  

By that logic, no one here is "qualified" to criticize any political figure.  I'd better not see you make any snide remarks about community organizers in the future...

You strike me as one who would support Princess Caroline/Sweet Caroline to be appointed as the next NY senator.

You'd be wrong.  Just because I have leftist beliefs and positions does not mean I buy into b---s--t political dynasty nonsense.

just as you supported a non qualified inexperienced junior senator from illinois. 

If by "supported" you mean I voted for him, as the slightly better of the two tickets (Sarah clinched that one) in an overwhelmingly blue state in which my vote meant nothing, and sometimes defend him against the more outrageous accusations leveled on NB, then I guess you're right.  It's not like I was out there campaigning or donating money though.  I'm glad he won, but I'm no Obamaniac, believe me.  Those who believe he's going to swoop in and fix everything have a rude awakening coming there way.

Geez, what did I do?

Actually, the thread to which you disingenuously refer is above.  The current thread is about whether Chuck Norris and Sarah Palin are relatively equal in their respective quantities of awesomeness.  Try to keep up.

As to your comment, I did not try to assassinate Bush's character - note that I included Obama and Clinton in my comment about past indiscretions and went out of my way to say I don't care about such things anyhow.  As you so "astutely" pointed out, allegations against Bush are not proven - though the original poster in that thread stated as fact some things about Obama about which I would just LOVE to see cited sources.  The point of my above post, since it has clearly gone over your head despite its clarity, had to do with how the pubic reacts to such scandalettes, as well as to admit that after the way she spent October slinging unfounded mud that was basically all predicated on guilt by association, it's hard to really feel bad for Palin being looked at by the media in this way - even though I personally don't buy into the idea that the crystal meth habits of Ms. Johnston matter worth a damn.

1. It is (or was).

2. Wasn't impressed.

3. Good luck.

PLEASE activate spell checker. Or start spouting leftist drivel.

In order to be pro-choice, one must first be born. Ah, the irony.

You must be a large city type. There is nothing devisive about being a
regular American unless you are conservative, successful, and liked.

I certainly don't have anything against the kind of people she was directing that remark toward, and yeah, I know at that point in the election it was all about pandering toward rural parts of swing states, but I found grating her implication that being one kind of American makes one "regular" and that another is (by sheer logic) irregular. I found that more offensive and un-American than Obama failing to wear a lapel pin or his wife admitting that she didn't always have pride in America. These aren't debatable points, just my personal reaction to it.

When thats all the press will present to the public it is no wonder you
feel that way. If bambi were covered in a like manner he would not be
looking for a crib in D.C.

You called him Bambi! OMG, you're soooo hateful!!!1! [sarc off]

Actually, I was referring more than anything to the debate with Biden, and try as they might, there was no way for the big evil media to censor her there. Sorry but "drill baby drill," and "Me and John McCain are mavericks" (x100) is ALL she had going for her.

Nuance, would that be talking aimlessly about nothing, stuttering,
uming, ahing, and looking completely out of your element on numerous
occasions.

Wait, I thought you were arguing in favor of Palin.

You finally come to the crux of the matter. You don't believe in
personal responsibility, you don't believe in personal achievement, and
you don't believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I
can see why not, you would have to work and be responsible for your
failures as well as your successes. No, it is easier living in a
socialist society where you are coddled from cradle to grave. Working
well in Venezuela, Cuba and the former Soviet Union where Putin is
working on reimplementing it.

Well, I don't recall saying I was against the American-Ideal terms you list at the beginning, but I also don't recall Palin going into any detail about how she would preserve them. I also don't recall saying I wanted to be anything like Putin's Russia, but other than a stream of gibberish about Russian Airspace, I don't recall Palin saying how she would prevent anything like that.

Get this straight: disliking Palin, recognizing that she would be a disaster as a leader, isn't about a rejection of all things American and conservative, nor is it an embrace of all things hard-left. It's just common sense.

Right.  And the point of this thread was to discuss that she likely will run in 2012.  As far as your last remark, I guess we just disagree.
