And yes, BHO is proving that, regardless of campaign slogans ... change will never happen. Everything is politics as usual ... though this time, with a Chicago twist.
Change is happening, only not good changes.

Extremism of either right or left wing creates chaos and would not be good for the country, regardless of what mess BHO creates.

Bush started America towards fascism ... Obama's doing the same with socialism. Both are bad for the country.

I agree, I wasn't terribly fond of GWB, never did vote for him, the only reason I voted republican this go around was because the options made it essential, typically I lean to the constitutionalist/libertarian view.

I agree with you on the balance point. Extremism is bad, on one end you have fascism, on the other communism, in each case you have bloated, intrusive government getting in the way of freedom and just plain doing business.... somewhere in the middle lies the stable republic.

Give me Palin over BHO and his cohorts any day. You should listen to this ridiculous women interviewer on the subject. That's the left-wing ideology, which Palin is NOT a part of.

Again, forced to choose between Palin and BHO - I'd resign to having Palin as Prez ...

Re: Palin Furious At Letterman.

I'm going to have to agree with Neal Boortz on this one--tasteless joke: YES!!! However, it was aimed at Bristol, not at the 14 year old. Big gaffe on DL's part? Absolutely!

However. Bristol did have sex at 16, and get pregnant. So a joke at her expense is not out of the range of a late-night talk show host. It was just unfortunate that he made a mistake about which daughter was visiting.

To imply that he's some kind of pedophile because he made a joke about the wrong girl is just plain stupid. Being rude is how these guys get laughs. I'm not endorsing the humor, but it was a crass joke--not an indication of DL's personal taste in young girls. (Which it seemed that Palin's FB page tried to imply.)

Alex Rodriquez is 34 years old - it was a perverted, pedophile statement that Letterman made. I agree with Palin!

I'm offended as a woman - Letterman is a trashy pig!

Re: Palin Furious At Letterman.

Palin is justified in being upset with Letterman.

He's an extremely liberal democrat and even if his writers were the culprits I doubt this stuff is a surprise....they rehearse before airing.

Palin is smart AND conservative, a scary thought for the liberals. They have to keep on making her look bad.

Thank you... I've been arguing this point all day.

*sigh* Why can't we just criticize him over an inappropriate joke?

The pedophile spin is ludicrous and I think everyone with any sense realizes it.

Frankly, the fact that the Palin family is spinning it this way makes me think they want this frenzy of media attention to continue more than anything else.
