Republicanos Mudos Necesitan Un Cheque de la Realidad

What universe are Republicans living in? Somebody let me know. Tom Gross of National Review, is already publishing articles based on Sarah Palin's foreign policy credentials. Now, I'm not a student of war - but someone please stop the bullshit right wingers. Ms. Palin, a creationist, has zero foreign policy experience. Her foreign policy reaches to the suburbs of Anchorage where she has fought to protect polar bears. Gross states that Biden in essence wants Iran to get nuclear weapons, while Palin doesn't. Well, with her scantly clad record that she has, where is Gross getting this information. From the cesspool of that ideology that Americans have fallen prey to --- time and time again.

Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal critiqued Obama's speech in her column, Declarations. She cited how strong the speech was by comparing it to Obama's speech in 2004. In sum, Noonan objects to the specifics Obama cited in his speech. She, in other words believes Obama should have been less hefty and more lenient in his speech. She objects to the fighting intellectual she saw in Obama on Thursday. She much prefers a relaxed intellectual, like the one she heard in 2004. That southside-ness is emerging and the master of capricious and lancinating prose is irritated. Too bad.

Dean Barnett of the Weekly Standard (another pitiful excuse for a magazine) writes in his article, "Diminishing Palin," how the media will be complicit in their agenda to elect the Illinois senator. He notes that the Obama campaign cannot use the experience argument because both Palin and Obama lack it. But the Obama campaign has never used the experience argument. They have used judgment. Of course, Barnett mentions this too. Clever. He compares Palin's receptiveness on Friday to that of Ronald Reagan. This is a moronic device used by many conservative thinkers. They grab ahold of Reagan. Their "messiah." Many right wingers have even used Reagan's name in place of Jesus. For example, instead of what would Jesus do, it is what would Reagan do? No, Barnett, the Obama campaign and the left will not have to critique Palin. She will emerge as a Quayle double all on her own. That reference to Hillary Clinton on Friday didn't bode well among Hillary supporters. They see Palin as someone who supports a woman keeping a baby whose father is a rapist. They see her as a big oil crackpot who does not support equal pay for people who have v jay jays. 

No, Palin will fumble bumble all on her own. That we can count on.
