Sarah Palin addresses Tea Party "hobbits" in Iowa

"Polls...they're for strippers" -- I defer to Ms. Palin's expertise. I don't know what equipment strippers need.

What boggles the mind is why the traditional media would give empty-headed, historically ignorant and consistently inaccurate, wretchedly unproductive (unless you consider their successful breeding records) women, like Sarah Palin, Michelle Backman, and Chistine O'Donnell, expensive, scarce air time, when we hardly ever see women with truly successful, productive careers or significant, well-considered ideas, such as Dianne Feinstein, Susan Rice, Madeline Albright, and many more on air, unless in some rare, one-time interview. The ones they force on us, every day, have nothing to say, except empty talking points. I listened carefully to Michelle's responses at the Tea Party get-together, today, and I suppose people who attended wanted to hear the same old rant again, or they wouldn't have attended, but I'm still waiting to hear from any of them what it is about the Administration's healthcare program they actually believe is going to totally end the world! Or, how about just ruin anything, at all. They make it sound like the ideological and legislative nuclear bomb aimed at our "democracy", whatever that means anymore, when Bush's policies that took away many of our civil rights, REALLY, like habeus corpus, our right to privacy when on the phone and internet, and practically everything that protected us from illegal search and siezure, being arrested for nothing and tortured somewhere, etc., seems to have been fine with them. Michelle did disclose her energy policy a couple of days ago - just go ahead and completely destroy the environment and everything healthy and beautiful on the North American continent and all the waterways surrounding it, Mrs. live off the government with your foster children scam that costs taxpayers millions, if you add all the Backman-type families that use such kids as revenue streams. She wants to drill everywhere and frack gas so all the water we'd like to drink bursts into flames, as well as dig and burn coal, until we can't breathe the air and the people in West Virginia drown in landslides full of sludge and watch their mountains get chopped down to flatlands. All you who listen to such plans, thinking that they are better than developing wind and solar farms, figuring out how to use geothermal, utilize tried and true strategies, such as cogeneration, and finding the ingenuity to develop new approaches to our energy needs, should take a visit to some of the countries that ignore environmental impacts from fossil fuels and see if you want to eat the contaminated crops and drink the water, much less taste and smell the air. It's the Repubicans, and particularly the Tea Party, that have obstructed better programs than we have that Obama would have implemented by now, had the right wingers not blocked the way. We wouldn't need to fine people who won't buy health care, if we had been able to get Universal Health Care through the stubborn, "Reject everything Obama wants so he will fail" Repubicans, who are treasonous to put their own political careers ahead of what is best for all of us.
