Again, words mean things and people have to man up when they say or do something wrong.

| ..further, the phrase, small-government conservative, with all their massive defecit spending and foreign wars, military funding increases, homeland security, prohibition laws, and so on, has really become an oxymoron in modern terms. | ||||

Last September, a skit on Saturday Night Live suggested incest in the Palin family. "What about the husband?" asked a mock Times reporter. "You know he's doing those daughters. I mean, come on. It's Alaska!" No outrage. Sarah Palin appeared on the show one month later in late October. No outrage. | ||||

| Well Dos, it was politically advantageous for her to go on the show at that time, just like it's advantageous for her to feign outrage now. These people really know how the bring the crazies out. How long before some hillbilly shoots Letterman on his way to work? | ||||

  BTW, the majority of conservatives believe that small federal government is sticking strictly to the enumerated powers in the constitution and no more. That's small government. Now back to the thread topic, so for the derailment. | ||||

| ..oh, and as for the "derailment", well this is just typical California Raygunomics. Cut taxes, cut taxes, cut taxes, and then hand out cash to all your buddies like there's no tomorrow. Fuck, man, we might has well have a President Terminator... ..and just when anybody might notice, invent some fake news story to cover your tracks about someone calling some kid a whore or something.. Oh, and did I mention he's got some new Touchstone ABC Family Heart 2 Heart Show coming out? Oh, yeah, cause y'all reds and blues are mashed up like purple haze, man, purple haze... | ||||
