Obama On Mandela: We Reflex On The Life Of A Great Man!

World leaders reflect on the life of Nelson Mandela.

President Barack Obama along with former presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter were accompanied to the funeral of former South African president Nelson Mandela.

So many world leaders and so little security. Peaceful and somber was the word from most heads of state leaders. A bit of controversy (which will be explained in the next posting) has drove the American racist right into a frenzy.

A mild handshake with a leader of a country many stateside considered the "enemy" has the conservatives pissed off.

Anyways President Barack Obama delivers a somber and powerful speech in the memory of the former South African president. His reflection of Mandela has driven the spirit that keeps the president going here in the United States.

In a country deeply divided over politics, Obama shines a beam of "HOPE" that Americans will work together to solve the nation's problems together. He knows the road is extremely hard with those rabble rousing voices of opposition in the corner. But he hopes that the rational notices it and begins the onward ignorance of the likes of Rush Limbaugh (aka King Hippo), Fox News (aka Loserville) and Matt Drudge (aka That Guy Who Throws Shit On The Wall).

JFK: Thank You!

America mourns 50 yeara of the tragic shooting of the 36th President of The United States.

I wasn't born around the time John F. Kennedy was the President of The United States, but from what I've heard from many, he was probably one the best modern day presidents, ever!

A young vibrant clean smiling guy with a beautiful wife and two adorable children.

November 22, 1963 would be the day the world lost a leader.

When he was in Dallas, Texas, Kennedy was shot in the head by a sniper rifle and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

It lead to the nation's first ever breaking news event. It also thrust his Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson into the forefront as the next in line.

During the 1960s in the South, the United States was going through the segregation of race.

The Civil Rights Movement was at its peak when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his March On Washington (I Have A Dream) speech to a crowd of thousands.

Dr. King, John Lewis and John F. Kennedy. Lewis would later become a U.S. Congressman.

That April, Dr. King got an opportunity to meet Kennedy.

I want to say that Kennedy was the best progressive leader.

Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald was accused of the crime and arrested that evening, but Jack Ruby shot and killed him two days later, before a trial could take place.

The FBI and the Warren Commission officially concluded that Oswald was the lone assassin. However, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluded that those investigations were flawed and that Kennedy was probably assassinated as the result of a conspiracy.

Since the 1960s, information concerning Kennedy's private life has come to light. Details of Kennedy's health problems with which he struggled have become better known, especially since the 1990s. Although initially kept secret from the general public, reports of Kennedy's philandering have garnered much press. Kennedy ranks highly in public opinion ratings of U.S. presidents.

Events during his presidency included the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Space Race—by initiating Project Apollo (which would culminate in the moon landing), the building of the Berlin Wall, the African-American Civil Rights Movement, and early stages of the Vietnam War. Therein, Kennedy increased the number of military advisers, special operation forces, and helicopters in an effort to curb the spread of communism in South East Asia.

The Kennedy administration adopted the policy of the Strategic Hamlet Program which was implemented by the South Vietnamese government. It involved certain forced relocation, village internment, and segregation of rural South Vietnamese from northern and southern communist insurgents.

Conservatives Spin Hypothetical Bullsh*t!

The ABC News/Washington Post poll shows that if the election was a do over, perennial loser Mitt Romney would have been the 45th President of the United States.

Again, conservatives are gleeful that the president's poll numbers are dropping. They created this narrative of the "WOULD OF", "COULD OF", "SHOULD OF", "WISH IT COULD HAVE BEEN" scenarios.

Damn, how much time is wasted on hypothetical questions?

Do you realize that Congress has job approval of 10%?

Do you understand that even if the election was a do over, the Republicans would still lose because they couldn't win Black, Hispanic, Asian, women and young voters. Yeah, they win the White working class, the well off, and pro-business crowds, but that's not enough to win an electoral college.

These guys been around when Bush was in office. They never mentioned filibustering nominees and stalling treaties.

If President Barack Obama lost the popular vote (which is most likely what the ABC News/Washington Post poll is akin to), he would still win the electoral college. Republicans have long wanted to abolish the electoral college since Obama won the first election. They've tried to do it during the 2012 election by eliminating early voting and voter restrictions in urban areas.

That stuff right there is a reason for the high turnout among the president's supporters.

And to think about it, George W. Bush won the electoral college but lost the popular vote in 2000 when he ran against Al Gore.

Another thing, how many of these assholes in the junk food media compared the rollout of the Healthcare Marketplace to the horrible tragedy of Hurricane Katrina?

No one ever died going on to a website.

These guys been around during Bush's term. Yet they never mentioned impeachment over scandals caused by the Bush administration.

Hurricane Katrina killed thousands of Americans. It displaced millions of Americans. It was the most costly disaster in history only second to Hurricane Sandy. Former President Bush had suffered because of his late reaction and lackluster planning to handle the crisis. It was similar to the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Even The Daily Show's Jon Stewart criticized how far the junk food media went to making this seem like this is the end of President Barack Obama.

Republicans were elected to do nothing. That's what I think!

See in 2001, people rallied around Bush during that tragedy. In 2005, Democrats were seething over John Kerry's lost. So they've managed to pull every scandal out of their ass to take back the majority.

If it wasn't for Dick Cheney shooting a man in the face, the outing of Valarie Plame, a CIA spy, the firing of U.S. Attorneys by Alberto Gonzalez, the ongoing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and of course Hurricane Katrina, Bush may have survived a decent legacy.

Even before Obama won the first presidential election, the economy was in a nosedive after Enron, Bear Sterns, Lehman Brothers, GM, Chrysler and Goldman Sachs collapsed.

We've pulled out of a recession. But still we're not experiencing a boom. Obama policies created over 5 million jobs but it still doesn't feel like things are moving fast enough.

But the impatience of White voters and the onslaught of misinformation from his critics led to Republicans winning state governorships and the House of Representatives in 2010.

The Stallmigos. No accomplishments as lawmakers but yet the media love them.

With this victory, Republicans told the people they'll focus on jobs. They have not provided one bipartisan bill that focused on jobs. They've spent the majority of their time trying to repeal the healthcare law.

They've pulled out their ass, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, the IRS snooping, the NSA wiretapping, and the reaction to Trayvon Martin as their Obama based scandals.

They have nothing but constant hate towards Obama.

The Republicans have tried to tarnish the president's legacy the moment he got in. Now with the troubles of the American Care Act, the Republicans are gleefully hoping that the public will ignore their role in the government shutdown.

Right now, it's a toss up for the midterms.

Republicans have an opportunity to win three Senate seats.

The Democrats have an opportunity to claim 10 political swing districts..

That's my prediction on the matter.

For one thing, President Obama doesn't really pay much attention to the polls. Yeah polls really do matter to his staff and the spineless Democrats who fear losing their perks.

The recent booing at the college basketball game is proof that Obama's suffering in the polls.

Yeah, it's part of the job being the President of the United States.

He can take it.

Now seriously, you believe that President Barack Obama is a "lame duck"?

Book: Obama's Inner Circle Wanted To Dump Joe Biden For Hillary Clinton!

A book that's coming out this month will take certainly have the folks in Washington, DC talking.

Double Down recaps the 2012 Presidential Campaign.

There's a claim by the members of the president's election team that if they were going to win, they thought about dropping Vice President Joe Biden for then secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

The president however rejected the notion of having this happen. But it was talked about, though!

When Biden stole the thunder out of the president's awaken, Obama had to make a swift endorsement of gay marriage.

Also in this book there were reservations in the perennial loser Mitt Romney campaign. Before he picked Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan for the Republican ticket, he was concerned about New Jersey governor Chris Christie mainly because of his potential for scandals and his weight.

A potential bestseller.

According to John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, they set the national conversation on fire with their bestselling account of the 2008 presidential election, Game Change. In Double Down, they apply their unparalleled access and storytelling savvy to the 2012 election, rendering an equally compelling narrative about the circuslike Republican nomination fight, the rise and fall of Mitt Romney, and the trials, tribulations, and Election Day triumph of Barack Obama.

Drawing on hundreds of interviews with the people who lived the story, Heilemann and Halperin deliver another reportorial tour de force that reads like a fast-paced novel. Character driven and dialogue rich, replete with extravagantly detailed scenes, Double Down offers a panoramic account of a campaign at once intensely hard fought and lastingly consequential. For Obama, the victory he achieved meant even more to him than the one he had pulled off four years earlier.

In 2008, he believed, voters had bet on a hope; in 2012, they passed positive judgment on what he’d actually done, allowing him to avert a loss that would have rendered his presidency a failed, one-term accident. For the Republicans, on the other hand, 2012 not only offered a crushing verdict but an existential challenge: to rethink and reconstitute the party or face irrelevance—or even extinction. Double Down is the occasionally shocking, often hilarious, ultimately definitive account of an election of singular importance.

Media Matters Reveals Hypocrisy From That Guy Who Helped Obama Win!

Meet that person who is responsible for Barack Obama winning reelection.

He's no longer referred by the name as far as I am concerned. He's known as The Guy Who Helped Obama Win. He's on his daily radio program from 3pm - 6pm (EST) and his 9pm television program on Loserville.

He's the constant carnival barker who whines about Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, First Lady Michelle Obama, and everyone who doesn't carry a Republican label to his sleeve.

He's been prone to play the "fear" card, the "race" card, and the "victim" card.

He's known to host causal conversations with extremists willing to go on his program to scream about how the evil "liberal" media is making conservatives look like idiots and racists.

He's the guy who would defend a jackass who thought he would be a cop. That jackass kills a teenager on his way home after a confrontation. That Guy gave the jackass legal advice to paint the victim as the aggressor and a typical "thug" instead of those cute pictures that the "liberal" media shows.

He's the guy caught by Media Matters for America on the NSA wiretapping scandal that he's crowing about now. It was alright then, when George W. Bush was in charge. But now that we have that "Socialist, Communist, Muslim, Apologist, Racist, Money Spending, Kenyan" Obama, it's another story.

Media Matters put together a mashup of That Guy's comments, comparing his position then and now.

Of course since this is Media Matters for America, That Guy will discuss this on his radio program. He'll whine about how they sit in their basements with underwear. He'll claim that they're trying to shut him up and his good buddies Mark Levin (Weasel Levin), King Hippo and his network Loserville.

He'll bring on that radical nut Brent Bozell (Brentbeard) and the Turd Flipper on his program to say that it's a George Soros conspiracy.

Sitting on a pile of money can make you do things. How about it?

He knows that Republican Party is his pimp.

The reason why Media Matters done that is to reveal that it's nothing more than a partisan matter when it comes down to this NSA wiretapping scandal. It's just another bone tossed to the junk food media. It's ignoring the progress of the economy. It's basically filter time for those in the kookspiracy movement.

It's just another way to line up another batch of weaker Republican candidates say if Hillary Clinton would run.

The government tracks 313 million citizens in its borders and outlying possessions. The government has to keep records in case of a major disaster or in the case of an attack.

Why are these so-called civil libertarians so worried about a program that they know nothing about?

Why are they complaining now? They weren't when it was done before during the times of 40, 41, 42 and 43. Why is this happening around 44?

It's a matter of race and intelligence. Most of these kookspiracy theorists are lacking a Master's Degree.

See what the CIA hired. They hired a contractor who had an employee with lack of education. A young mind full of crap he's clicked through outlets like Crazy Jones/PrisonPlanet and Ron Perot. Yeah, he can say "I used to love Obama" all he wants, but his actions pose a danger to the Americans who work in clandestine services.

In other words, he could have exposed CIA and NSA agents unwillingly.

Name A Young Voter Who's Heard Of Ronald Reagan?

If you were born after 1989, you've never heard of Ronald Reagan.

That's a little too much! Let's say that you've heard of him, but you don't know much about his legacy! Practically you've read it in history or civics class. And practically, young voter don't care about it either.

It's a damn shame that the Republican Party is still stuck on the 20th Century. They've fallen and they can't get up! Seriously, the Republican Party is tone deaf to the changing demographics.

Young voters can only remember at best George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. And thanks to the controversial issues fed through the junk food media, the tide is turning. Things that we used to shun in general are now more open and people are tolerating it.

The young voters are a key demographic that is ripe with fresh votes. The Democrats have taken advantage of this by moving forward. The Republicans may have just sealed their fate. Still living in a generation that keeps overpaid agitators rich and the young voters tuned out.

Gay marriage is coming!

They're lighting up the weed!

Sundays aren't in the church! They're in the bed.

The immigrants are moving into the cities, the suburbs and the gated communities!

It's getting browner and yes, it's because of interracial births and open relationships.

The junk food media feeds young voters issues that revolve around celebrities and gotcha moments from politicos.

The social networks are killing off the cable television, newspapers, books, DVDs and music CDs.

We don't have to watch television anymore. We can view our shows on the internet or through our gadgets.

The rich are about to lose their perks! The tax havens and money funneling to other countries are on the verge of coming to an end.

Many Americans have war fatigue. The war drums are not as loud! They don't want to waste more blood and treasure in the Middle East. Even the threat from North Korea isn't moving the needle. The crisis in North Africa isn't appealing to the American people. People don't care about the conflicts in Libya, Egypt, Israel, Syria and the undisputed Palestine territories.

The threat of terrorism exists everyday. But more Americans worry about their neighbors more than some guy in a turban and garb.

So far, the young voters only care about finding jobs, homes, cars, luxuries, and college.

They don't care about the talk about debt, taxes and firearms. The debt is only important when they've maxed out their credit cards or owe student loans. That stuff is a turn off to the general public.

Hence, the Republican Party's outreach. An outrage that fails to see this. A political party that continues to take marching orders from overpaid agitators and half-term former governors.

Yes, Republicans do have young voters in the fold. Some young voters who vote Republican do attend some form of school. You may find a young voter in public school, private school, being homed-schooled and taught religious or non-religious education. But are they losing this fold too?

Even some of their young voters are warming to gay marriage, marijuana legalization and are experiencing war fatigue.

I was born in 1980. I was born around the time when Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States was getting his clocked cleaned by former California governor named Ronald Wilson Reagan.

People remember him as a radio announcer and later an actor who played roles in movies and sitcoms. A man once palled with a chimpanzee named Bonzo and told the team to win one for The Gipper.

His first wife was Jane Wyman, a fellow actress. After the marriage turned sour, he went on to marry another leading lady named Nancy Davis.

Who would of thought an actor would become the President of The United States?

I remember the 40th President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. I was young and didn't care about his politics. I didn't care about the president's political party he represented. I just knew him as our president.

Whatever he done, wasn't affecting my life. I was a kid so I was more aware of the playmates than the Iran-Contra affair. I don't remember John Hinckley shooting him. I was too young. I do remember Christa McAuliffe and the six astronauts dying in the Challenger tragedy.

I knew the only thing that kept me going was the playmates, the 1980s-themed television programs and a weekend (or summer break) off from school.

I give Reagan credit, he was a popular president. He managed to run the country for eight years. He won two landslide elections and survived a near fatal shooting. He was a friend, foe and father to many.

I grew up during the days of sitcoms and cartoons that featured public service announcements.

I grew up in the days where urban plight was the driver of White flight.

I grew up watching the Challenger Space Shuttle tragedy in 1986.

I remember the Cold War talk and the Red Scare out of Moscow.

I remember talk about the Berlin Wall. A wall that divided Berlin into two separate cities. One for the Western nations and the other allied to the Soviet Union. One theme that Reagan presented was the famous quote: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

I could remember the talk about Ronald Reagan and his best friend Margaret Thatcher, then prime minister of Great Britain. They managed to drive conservatism into the mainstream. It also allowed overpaid conservative agitators to drive the AM dial even further to the bottom.

I don't remember everything that happened while I was young but I knew that Ronald Reagan had made people feel good about themselves. He's considered a "rock star" among the Republican faithful.

The legacy of Ronald Reagan is memorable. He was the oldest elected president. At age 69, many Americans assumed that his health was going to deteriorate during his term. According to his son, Ron Reagan, he thought his dad was showing signs of Alzheimer's disease after his second term.

My biggest concern with the Republican Party is the constant rewrite of history. They've taken credit for things they've never supported. Let's take for example, the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Republicans claim they were solely responsible for passing the law. It was the choice of two Democratic presidents, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Kennedy was assassinated by an extremist. Johnson faced opposition from the conservative Democrats (Dixiecrats) and Republicans. Once this was passed, Democrats ended up losing the South. To this day, many states in the South have went to Republicans easily.

Some of the themes by some in the conservative agitating media generate the condescending rhetoric about how young voters are "idiots" and "low information voters". That right there turns off voters and makes it even harder for the Republicans to win over young voters.

Another reason for the deficit of young voters is Republican parents home schooling young minds into bigotry and hatred of other!

Why on earth would any family member try to inject politics into their young children?

With all the anti-Obama rhetoric from those in the Republican Party, one is to believe that they're the party of fiscal responsibility. One is to believe the party is more tolerant of race, gender, sexuality, religion, education, political and economic standings. One is to believe the Republican Party was the party of civil rights. The way they're going today will make the Republican Party a party of White people and freaking idiots!

Republicans didn't care about the debt and massive spending. They didn't care about the tax increases. They didn't care about the incidents that lead to deaths of Americans. Sure they were some politicos and consultants who worried, but conservatives were lockstep in whatever Reagan done. Regardless of it being right or wrong.

I mean it's over 30 years since his presidency, and the Republicans still continue to run on this narrative that his policies worked. If his policies have worked, why hasn't a Republican won the presidency since George W. Bush?

Republicans skip through the forest when it came to disasters of previous Republican presidents.

Are you afraid to mention James Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Richard Nixon, George H.W. and George W. Bush?

Republicans can only endorse Reagan and Abraham Lincoln as the saviors of the Republican Party.

If they were alive today, these individuals would be marched right out of the party. They've would have been considered too liberal for the current establishment.

BREAKING: Margaret Thatcher Passes Away!

Great Britain and the United States mourn the lost of Margaret Thatcher.

The former prime minister of the United Kingdom had passed away at age 87. As with Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher was the icon of modern conservatism.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to Margaret Thatcher's family.

A lot of people agreed that the world needed an "Iron Lady".

She was the longest-serving (1979–1990) Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of the 20th century, and the only woman ever to have held the post. A Soviet journalist called her the "Iron Lady", a nickname which became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style. As Prime Minister, she implemented Conservative policies that have come to be known as Thatcherism.

After entering 10 Downing Street, Thatcher introduced a series of political and economic initiatives to reverse what she perceived to be Britain's precipitous national decline.

Her political philosophy and economic policies emphasised deregulation (particularly of the financial sector), flexible labour markets, the privatisation of state-owned companies, and reducing the power and influence of trade unions. Thatcher's popularity during her first years in office waned amid recession and high unemployment, until economic recovery and the 1982 Falklands War brought a resurgence of support, resulting in her re-election in 1983.

President Barack Obama, Prime Minister David Cameron, Queen Elizabeth II and the United States Congress share their condolences. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard were informed of the passing.

Thatcher is popular among the conservative faithful here in the United States. The conservative media worships the legacies of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher.

A leader during the war of the Falkland Islands and the Soviet Union.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Matt Drudge, Michelle Malkin and numerous conservative agitators will talk about the death.

Margaret Thatcher was born Margaret Roberts in Grantham, Lincolnshire, on 13 October 1925. Her father was Alfred Roberts, originally from Northamptonshire, and her mother was Beatrice Ethel (née Stephenson) from Lincolnshire.

It was confirmed by the Associated Press that she died of a stroke.

Actress Meryl Streep recently portrayed the former prime minister in the 2011 movie The Iron Lady.

Boehner: Obama's A Bully!

Weeping speaker John Boehner smokes a square! The Ohio Republican Congressman thinks Obama going to advance his agenda and Republicans fear they can't stop it!

Now you tell me who's acting like a bully?

The Speaker Weeper of The House, Republican Congressman John Boehner of Ohio sobs up over the president aggressive campaign against them. The weeper believes that President Barack Obama wants to annihilate the Republican Party.

Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is the Minority Leader. McConnell stated that the president's inaugural speech brought back an era of liberalism. He vows to block any legislation in regards to gun control.

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) is the son of perennial loser Ron Paul, the former Texas congressman. Paul is a kookspiracy senator. He's already testing his presidential credentials. He's gone as far to call the president a "king", and saying that he would have fired Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her handling of the Benghazi consulate attack.

Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) the former vice presidential nominee to perennial loser Mitt Romney was blaming the American people for them being easily swayed by the president. He also contributed the electoral loss due to poor communication from Mitt Romney and people weren't hip to their ideas.

Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas) threatens impeachment over the president's proposals to curbing gun violence. Using the same theme of Senator Paul, Stockman is calling the president a "king" and "dictator".

Congressman Paul Broun (R-Georgia) once had allowed a constituent say assassination in his presence now goes even further with the notion that the president swears to the Soviet Union. The congressman made a snark remark about the president's constitutional powers when it comes to

The conservative media was upset over the "rolling eyes" of First Lady Michelle Obama. She rolled her eyes at Weeper Boehner and it went viral. The Republicans think it was undignified for her to do something like this.

With comments from those in the Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement, one could think they're doing a fine job of destroying themselves with such actions.

Progress is happening and Republicans fear it. They fear it with a passion.

The Republican leader argued that Obama’s ambitious second-term agenda could not be enacted unless Republicans suffer serious losses in the next mid-term elections.

“[G]iven what we heard yesterday about the president’s vision for his second term, it’s pretty clear to me and should be clear to all of you that he knows he can’t do any of that as long as the House is controlled by Republicans,” Boehner said. “So we’re expecting over the next 22 months to be the focus of this administration as they attempt to annihilate the Republican Party. And let me tell you, I do believe that is their goal. To just shove us in the dustbin of history.”

Republicans will need to defend themselves in a “very hostile environment,” Boehner said, by thinking strategically about when and how to confront the president.

“Where’s the ground that we fight on? Where’s the ground that we retreat on? Where are the smart fights?

Where are the dumb fights that we have to stay away from?” he asked. “We've got a lot of big decisions to make.”

His caucus just ducked a fight with President Obama and Democrats by suspending the debt limit for three months. But hours before that vote, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) told reporters that the House GOP was still prepared to shut down the government if Democrats do not agree to new spending cuts.

Obama will have to confront the polarization on Capitol Hill in attempting to move forward with deficit reduction, immigration reform, climate change legislation and gun control. Boehner's comments suggest that Obama should not expect much support from his caucus in achieving those goals.

The speech was closed to press, but video and a transcript were put online. The comments come at about 9:55 in the above video.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in 2010 that “the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” (Democrats often inaccurately say that McConnell voiced that goal as soon as the president took office).

"Crazy" John Mc Cain chooses Gov. Palin of Alaska as his second...What will the hardcore misogynist Radial Right think about this?

Inteligentaindigena Indigenismo Novajoservo: "Crazy" John Mc Cain chooses Gov. Palin of Alaska as his second...What will the hardcore mysoginist Radial Right think about this?

Image by Getty Images via Daylife An Angryindian Editorial -

So, John "I can say Gook if I want to" McCain has finally announced his running mate, "Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a self-defined "hockey mom" who like Democratic Party pick Barack Obama has only recently entered political service is the "surprise" GOP Vice-Presidential candidate.

I for one cannot understand why anyone would be surprised since she logically helps balance McCain out with the Christian Right. She accepts Creationism, opposes abortion rights, laughs at his off-colour jokes and evidently does not personally see a problem with McCain's anti-female screeds that offend most everybody else. In effect, she is the perfect comic foil to McCain's Colonel Klink who will, as he has for the past several months, continue to stumble, misidentify or gaffe his way through his presidency should he be elected, or appointed by the corporate class like George W. Bush.

Being female she could sucker some of the disaffected among Hillary Clinton’s firm supporters but in the end it’s a White woman representing the elite classes versus the “Black Muslim” from the anti-White church with the White mama and funny name.

I could go on, but others have done the work already:

Fox Pundit: Alaska ‘Right Next Door to Russia’
“Fox & Friends” co-host and international relations genius Steve Doocy filled some time before John McCain’s official VP unveiling extravaganza on Friday by suggesting that McCain’s chosen She-publican, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, is actually a formidable player on the world stage because of Alaska’s proximity to Russia.
