"I knew that we'd be buddies when I met her when she said, 'Drill here, drill now,'" Palin said. "And then I replied, 'Drill baby drill,' and then we both said, 'You betcha!'"
You know, the fucked up thing about how intense the Tea Party is not, is that theres nothing that I can imagine anyone doing that would single handedly end it.
or, I mean, there's nothing at this point that could happen without a lot of people saying it's legitimate.
More violence happens against democratic representatives?
Well that has nothing to do with the movement as a whole, and they deserved it anyways.
More tea partiers use secessionist rhetoric?
Hey the government is coming in too much we totally should seceed!

See the problem isn't people saying it's legitimate it's that Tea Partiers would say it's legitimate.
Also once an attack is made on the president failed or otherwise pretty much every Federal Law enforcement agency would be out there arresting Tea Party groups left and left.
Sadly not Palin though.

"I knew that we'd be buddies when I met her when she said, 'Drill here, drill now,'" Palin said. "And then I replied, 'Drill baby drill,' and then we both said, 'You betcha!'"
I see that computerized speech generator is coming along well...
I wonder if anyone pointed out that there isn't any oil under Minneapolis.
I don't want to believe those two clowns actually said that to each other, it just sounds, odd.
It does sound sort of sitcomish. Like "Presidential Buddies, starring John McCain and Sarah Palin!". In a very special episode where Palin's old college pal Bachmann comes to visit.
Bachmann: "Drill here, drill now!"
Palin: "Drill baby Drill!"
Both: "You betcha!"
*canned audience applause*
McCain: Settle down, ladies.
Bachmann: You were right, he is a maverick.
*canned audience laughter*
It sounds like the dialog of Nailin' Palin 2: Bachmann's Threesome Powerdrive
Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty revved up the crowd, asking: "Have you had enough?"
"We now live in a country where Wall Street gets a bailout and the poor get a handout -- and everybody else gets their wallet out," he said. "So I ask you, have you had enough?" The crowd shouted back, "Yes!"
What is this, the 1800s?
Pawlenty has ramped up the D-Bag levels ever since he decided to run for President. Good thing he's boring and no one knows or cares who he is.
Personally I love the assumption that 90% of the country makes $250,000+
I hate Pawlenty so much. So, so much. He's put our state in massive debt. It could have been resolved last year with bills that even former republican governors said were good. But no, apparently the way to get out of debt is to borrow more money and rape the poor.
Fraken is a political wiz though. Any hangup I would have had that his snl skits weren't funny were quickly erased by his time in the senate. The man can free hand draw the US to almost exact detail.

"Michele and I -- both -- we have strong faith that fighting as hard as we can for our country and supporting those who share our values, share our principles, and, at the same time, putting our lives in God's hands."
Mindless rambling!
Also, her analogy demonstrates a complete lack of understanding (assuming of course she just wasn't being intellectually dishonest and pandering) of the issue.
No one said we wouldn't "punch back" if we got punched. Rather, if punched, we might not kill every living thing within a 100 miles radius of the kid that punched us.

No. No, shut up. I want to believe that Palin was actually being magnanimous in her typical poorly-articulated way. Let me believe this.
Edit: I hadn't read the link and was assuming that she was talking about Michelle Obama. Silly me.

Someone should sit her dumb ass down and make her watch a few nuclear explosions in slow motion, make her read some of the history of nuclear weapon development, and what small minded hawks like Edward Teller and the Air Force brass did to the world with their callous nuclear proliferation ideas. (Trivia for the day: the bomb did not need to be dropped on Japan.)
Nuclear weapons are not a fucking toy, and not something to try and score cheap political points with Sarah, you ignorant fool. Their very existence in a weapons arsenal dictates an extremely serious and sober mindset.
Anyone who runs against her should have so much ammunition at this point...arguably it shouldn't even be a contest, but those 20%er's seem to come out in droves to be fed her lines of bullshit, so it will probably be close.

Well to you or I that makes sense, but a frightening number of people in government and military (in many countries) have the attitude of Dr Strangelove

My god...U.S. will only have 1500 nukes after the deal...it will be virtually defenseless.
Seriously though, fun times ahead. I can't wait to turn C-Span and see the leaps of logic the Republicans make for potential destruction of countries without nukes and why 1500 nuclear warheads, enough to take out pretty much all major population centers in the world fifteen times over, won't be enough.

I don't think she was referring to arms reductions, but rather the current administrations assertion that we would change our posture in so much that we would not use nukes in retaliation for a chem or bio attack.
Of course her outrage (assuming it isn't faux) is equally ridiculous as such a policy could be changed by an executive order in the time it would take to utter a sentence.
Someone at a national news network should just run the screensaver mode of Defcon behind whatever anchor is talking about this. You can destroy the entire world with a lot less than 1500 warheads.
Part of me wishes that these maniacs could actually see with their own eyes what launching a single nuclear weapon would do to the fabric of our world. Then maybe they'd shut the hell up and never bring it up as a viable alternative ever again.
There's absolutely no winning unless your definition for winning means dying.

And besides, they purposely left the two main rogue nations of the present out of the new policy, so I don't see what she really has to bitch about.

Trivia for the day: that's not trivia. It's a defensible position, but it's not fact.
Hmmm, arguable I suppose, but if you look at the facts, it's pretty clear Japan was looking to surrender, and the intelligence community knew it. Japan had a few specific demands for surrender the US wasn't looking to honor and it seems dropping the bomb was far more about the continuing alienation with Russia than anything else.
It's people like Palin though, that are unable to see those issues in any real nuance, and scare the beejeesus out of me with their ignorance and indifference towards what they say.

History is much more palatable when the good guys are on your side and the bad guys are on that side. Why, just ask the Japanese about their research in China!

That remains to be seen. She managed it last time, and the bad publicity came a few weeks before the election, which is almost the worst time.

That bridge should have picked itself up by it's bootstraps.
To be fair she was ahead by a wide margin when she did that and it ended up a close race, another week and she probably would have lost.
