DEMOCRATS: Guilty, huh? Can we tie Sarah Palin to this?
There you have it folks. Alaska Senator Ted Stevens has been found guilty on all counts. Another one bites the dust and we edge closer to a Democrat controlled House, Senate, and Oval Office. The last time they had all three was during the disastrous reign of Jimmy Carter.
The point The Bruce finds particularly enjoyable is that Obama-endorsing Colin Powell vouched for this guy Stevens. Hold on tight and say bye bye to the American dream – we’re sliding ever faster into socialism. For those conservatives feeling blue, don’t worry I’m sure there will be a backlash (i.e. another Reagan). But will probably also be some terrible stuff in between.
The Media, no doubt will begin telling you how this affects your opinion of Sarah Palin and the presidential campaign. The Bruce thinks she should find a way to run for his senate seat… that way, if she doesn’t become VP she’ll be even better prepared for 2012.
We’re not seriously suggesting that Palin is the best-n-brightest the RNC has to offer, are we?

She fires up the conservative base, that’s for sure. Look here, Reagan won elections by preaching conservatism, and that’s what she’s good at. If she were at the top of the ticket, the GOP would have this election in the bag.

She may fire up the conservative base, but from what I have seen she is fundamentally unqualified for executive office. Governing Alaska from her kitchen while her husband sat in her office greeting dignitaries as the “husband of the governor” during one of the largest oil booms in Alaskan history was hardly a challenge. She had so much money in her budget she gave an extra $1,500 to every citizen in their annual oil rebate. Her experience as governor no more prepared her to be a president than me working at Starbucks after college. If she were on top of the ticket, even conservatives would be running for the hills, not the polling booth. On top of it all, she talks like some backwoods hayseed with no education. I’ve heard more erudite speech-making on the cartoon network.
That being said, the thought of a completely Democrat government, potentially beyond the hope of even a filibuster, is a frightening concept, one that will push even the most successful of business and social programs to the edge of bankruptcy.

This is what I’m saying, she’s a good Sheila and not at all stuck up. The Senate would do her good. Let us not forget that Colin Powell is/was as Don Lando puts it, one of the RNC’s “best-n-brightest”. That turned out well.
By the way, is Mein Schatz aware of some social program that is not already on the edge of bankruptcy?

Doesn’t the government hand out cheese? I can’t see how that program could go bankrupt. I’m pretty sure cheese is free.
