The Republicans are dropping like flies!!!!!! The 18th Republican Congressman calls it quits. You know, if the GOP was so confident of their coming majority in Congress after the midterms, then why are they quitting now. Like Palin, is quitting just in their nature?
Indeed, if things are so bad for Democrats everywhere, then why is a unabashed social liberal like Tom Perriello tied or ahead of his decidedly socially conservative opposition in his socially conservative district in Southern Virginia in recent polls?
Remember during President Obama’s televised QNA with the House Republican caucus, and several GOP members made a point to criticize the lack of transparency in the healthcare negotiations? Well, the President accepted responsibility for that and then called their bluff, inviting the GOP to a healthcare summit where the negotiations would be televised. And now the GOP is balking at that. Probably because they fear the same result as what happened at their meeting with Obama. So much for transparency, eh Republicans?
Sarah Palin is now considered by 70% of all Americans to be unqualified or unfit for the Presidency. So I guess the celebrity pundit teabaggin route was not a good idea after all. I think she will run for President, because she is so vain and narcissistic, and because it is the only way to keep the media and her followers interested in her. And the scary thing for the country is the diehard quarter of the population who find her qualified for the Presidency are enough to give her the GOP nomination.
Joe Biden stays classy too. This reveals what I think is a coordinated strategy on the part of the White House and it’s smart. Sarah Palin would like nothing better then have the White House get down and dirty with her, and on substantive issues they will, but on a personal level, they won’t.
And some mockery of the right wing from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert:
