I'm rather enjoying things in my Undisclosed Location at the moment, actually, so why ruin it by watching ol' Noun-Verb-POW tell the world how he plans to protect us from the Mean Brown People and protect the profits of millionaires like himself and his pals at ExxonMobil, Halliburton, et al.?
However, I couldn't help but marvel at the commenters on my
local fishwrap's political blog. On a
post about the expected campaign visits of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin in America's Glans™ (weather permitting) next week, you had winners like these:

Interesting comparison between Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. Hillary has never actually run anything but a political machine (at which, of course, she was unparalled), which is precisely what Americans don’t want any more of—Washington politicians and their ear marks and lobbyist masters. Palin has run a business, has run a city (yes, small, but still the same responsibilities) and run a state—with distinction. If Floridians (and Americans) don’t see the difference, then they will deserve what they get, more politican promises and fakery.

I couldn’t agree more and the audacity of the Democrats saying she has too many children to handle the job - what about Nancy Pelosi who has more children.
I had never heard of Palin but am extremely impressed by what I have seen and read. She really does have more experience in running a government than Obama.

I would love to see Sara Palin. She is the hope of middle class Americans. Hillary is disgracing herself by campaigning for Obama who has a communist/ leftist background. Of course Hillary is working off her campaign debts!
And that was just in the first three comments. Naturally, I had to

Those first few commenters must be on some serious drugs. To equate the leadership experience and skills of two-year Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to those of U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton is nothing short of ludicrous.
Hillary Clinton time and again has demonstrated her leadership acumen, while Sarah Palin has managed to abstinence-educate her daughter into a pregnancy, fire all of the city officials (because they might “cross” her) as mayor of tiny Wasilla, AK, and participate in treasonous activity as a speaker for and supporter of the Alaskan Independence Party (Google that one, kids), of which her husband Todd was a registered member.
Furthermore, comparing the two women is deceptive on its face, since they are in completely different political arenas; they are not competing with each other. This is an election between Obama/Biden, with new ideas, experience, and a plan to restore the U.S. to greatness following the last disastrous eight years, and McCain/Palin, who promise more of the same failed policies of the Bush years along with some Jerry Springer-like shenanigans.
Thanks but no thanks. Pay attention, people, and remember that you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, no matter how hard you try.
I was going to say, "You can't polish a turd," but it being an MSM blog, I figured I'd get tossed right out on my cyberkeister for that one.
It amazes me how the Republicans, especially the 28%er crowd, can rally around a guy most of 'em think isn't doctrinaire or hateful
enough and a running mate who very well may be a worse pick historically than Dan Quayle. Of course, Quayle and his paw-paw, GHWB, won the election, which amazes me even more now that I think about it.
Point being, They Walk Among Us. And we can't let up until the night of November 4.
