Unless the person is *extremely* wealthy in which case they have disproportionate influence. I don't believe we should allow such absurd and dangerous accumulations of wealth. Unfortunately they tend to protect themselves by influencing gullible people into believing that someday they too might be as right as them and support their extremist ideas.

Your response, to use someone else's favorite word, seems non-sequitur. I can't see how it relates at all with what I said or do I have to explain again what that paragraph of mine means to you? You seem to be "unclear of the concept" or you a superb example of the "me crowd."

Seems I had some folks whose business is freight transport discussing the state of the economy and the effect on their business. I took it that they were truckers. They were kinda pissed at what the Bush administration with their silly DHS rules has done to their business and how apparently the cost of gas is raising their prices to where shipping by rail is starting to make more sense (and hey that would get those be f'in behemoths off our highways too). Any the woman said she it was not a left or right argument and one guy spoke up and said he was rather an old fashioned conservative but hates Bush and can't stand McCain. They think Palin is a joke. He said he doesn't know who to vote for *because* he thinks Obama will open the door to Muslims to enter the country. And we wonder about the intelligence of people? As I see it people vote Republican because they are selfish. It is the "me" crowd. They are concerned about what's in it for them. Liberals, the more evolved of the human species, are the "we" crowd. Why? Because we're smart enough to see if you include everyone then our own boat will of course get raised too. So both concerns get addressed. Perhaps rather than saying that Americans are dumb we should say they are belligerent because that is how they are behaving and it carries a completely different connotation than "stupid" or "dumb." Belligerence is not considered a good trait so they will want to shed that mantle whereas they'll use "stupid" as an excuse. > Saying that Palin is not ready for this job is not a smear.

They have clips on their website but I haven't located the clip that "ABC wouldn't show you" yet.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Painful to watch - Gibson interview: Palin On 'Bush Doctrine'
Gov Palin is grossly under-qualified to be in such a position. She's also just your typical political bullshit artist, but not very good at it because she's been in such a back-water location. I think she's going to blow-up soon because there's just too many inconsistencies of positions to reconcile into one coherent neo-con position. McCain made a very bad choice. I used to respect McCain, but he has really lost me now. This interview with Gibson completely exposes her as a political ra-ra. --- On Fri, 9/12/08, Richard J.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Painful to watch - Gibson interview: Palin On 'Bush Doctrine'
Only if you buy the "official version" of 9-11. I certainly don't buy that version nor do other thinking people. Al-Qaeda was in fact a CIA organized group put together to fight the Russians in Afghanistan. They are an artificial "contracted" organization designed to keep people in fear so those behind the government can profit from the oil in Iraq and what other profitable wars they can pursue. Don't buy the MSM kool-aid. lurkernomore20002000 wrote: > Look, I agree, she did not look too good in the interview. Not that > Gibson wasn't pretty demeaning in his attitude towars her.

I bet Frances McDormand could do a good impression of her. Palin still sounds like a sketch out of SNL. Dream on Repugs. feste37 wrote: > Absolutely hopeless.
