Has she ever watched SNL before Saturday night?!

It doesn't seem like it unless she doesn't have a sense of humor.

Governor Palin's Reading List

Fascist writer Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist who Sarah Palin approvingly quoted in her acceptance speech for the moral superiority of small town values, expressed his fervent hope about my father, Robert F. Kennedy, as he contemplated his own run for the presidency in 1965, that "some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in public premises before the snow flies."

It might be worth asking Governor Palin for a tally of the other favorites from her reading list.

Out of fairness (with Palin being linked to Fascism), I am attaching an article by the UK's Melanie Phillips who writes about Obama's ties to Marxism. IMO he has stronger ties to Marxism than Palin does to Fascism.

Governor Palin's Reading List

Wow.

Damn.

Are you serious?! This is one of the people she admires?!

My cousin just tried to make me feel bad for not being affiliated with a party but she was barking up the wrong tree. I told her that right now the Democrats encompass the party of the people platform I like but I am too conservative to be one. The thing I like about the Democrats is that everyone is welcome and it is reflected. The Republicans still resemble an exclusive country club.

IA. No one should feel pressured into joining one political party or another. Obviously, IA with the Dems appearing as the people's platform.

IA. I think social issues are important as well. I dont feel that any political party should have influence over my personal life. That's another reason that I lean to the right. Until recently (George W Bush) Republicans have touted their stance for less government. Reagan was a good example of this stance. McCain is calling for similar protocol. That is one of the main reasons he appeals so strongly to me.

In modern history Democrats have answered our country's problems with more intrusive government. FDR was a good example of that. He got us out of the great depression with several social programs that are still in effect today.

The Democrats have increased the size of the government and that has only allowed for Republicans to push their social agenda when in power.

At heart, I am truly a Libertarian. Their stance is very limited government involvement for any issue. They would prefer to let the free market take care of fiscal issues. And they feel people have the freedom to do whatever they want socially. An example of this is their stance on illegal drugs. They would like to legalize all drugs.

They are fiscally conservative, and socially liberal. The main disagreement I have with the Libertarian party is their stance on foreign affairs. They would prefer America to be more isolationist. I side with Republicans on military strength.

Unfortunately there is no perfect party for me. But in the sense of voting with a party that actually has a chance of gaining power, I lean strongly towards Republicans.

Really? Social issues are important so you lean to Repubs? How do you feel of Edwin Meese in the 80s having two men arrested for having consensual sex in their own home? Is that something you agree with? Or GWB attempting to write discrimination into the Constitution? I could go on. For a socially liberal person, in my mind, the Repubs are not the way to go.

But I really really have a problem with the Democrats getting blamed for the Republican's social stances. That is reaching. ALOT.

So, does anyone believe Obama is a Marxist?

This Palin thing just keeps getting better and better.

So, does anyone believe Obama is a Marxist?

Say what????

Or GWB attempting to write discrimination into the Constitution?

I just want to let you know that I am a truly troubled person. When I saw this it reminded me of Keith Olbermann. He played a clip from The View Friday where McCain was saying something about the Constitution and Whoopi sad something about it meaning she would be a slave (or something to that effect) and Olbermann commented on it to point out that McCain didn't deny it.

An argument could also be made that George Bush can be compared to Adolf Hitler.......

So I would say Obama is just as much as a Marxist, as Bush is a Nazi.

I think you can see where I am going with that......

Same thing in respect to Palin. I don't believe she is a fascist, but the notion that she is quoting fascist literature begs the unavoidable question, who the hell is fact checking her speeches/campaign?

Um....nope. I don't.

OK, Casey. Please clarify this for me then, because I interpret this as you saying that government should stay out of our private lives, and that's why you lean to the right (Repubs).

Then the second sentence in bold is basically blaming Dems (I assume for Social Security - you reference FDR) for the Repubs getting into our private lives.

Please let me know if I got this wrong......

Yeah. Casey posted an article stating that Obama is a Marxist.

Just wondered if anyone agreed?

And if the Muslim stuff comes up:

You got it right this time.

The last post you put out you said I side with Republicans because social issues are important to me. That's not what I said. I vote for Republicans because they generally stand for smaller government.

Yes, social security, income tax, payroll tax, and government sponsored welfare. (Contributions from FDR)

Yeah, I believe Democrats lead the charge with growing the government, then Republicans used the larger platform to push social issues. Both parties have been at fault for growing the government. I am not saying that all Republicans are right or all Democrats are wrong. This is just my opinion.

Thanks for clearing that up because I was wondering why you posed that question it was so out of the blue. I don't read any of Casey's posts any more so I didn't see that. I'm not really good at discussing anything substantive so I just try to stick to the amen chorus.

I see. Ideally, and probably most people are like this, if we could merge the good things about one candidate with the other it would be a perfect world. Until there is a way for a 3rd party candidate to have an impact on elections, this back and forth between Repubs and Dems will continue.
