I'm sorry, explain to me again how she became and continues to hold the position of Governor.


I thought she quit?

Uh - no offense - but Frank Luntz is about as 'insider' as you can get. He is not a conservative. He is a GOP wonk. Putting it simply - he's one of those RINOs that real conservatives can't stand and who sells true conservatism down the river every chance he gets.

The GOP insiders want Romney. They want Romney because he is the person they have polled as being the most 'normal'. Above all else, the GOP insiders want someone bland, flavorless, and easy to swallow. They don't want the Sarah Palins, or the Herman Cains, or Ron Paul, or anyone else. They want vanilla, plain-jane, smart sounding, pretty for the camera, non-controversial candidates.

Romney would probably lose to Obama though. So why does the GOP want him? Quite simply, the GOP (as a political party) wants to keep the House, and win the Senate. And they think that Romney is the guy that would give them the best chance to do that. He is so inoffensive, that he would not really 'damage' the critical House/Senate races they want to win in 2012. And if the GOP keeps the House and wins the Senate then the GOP gets to head up all those committee chairmanships, get charge of all the appropriations, and basically run the show. They wouldn't care whether Obama was still President as long as they got to run the town. That is the perspective that Luntz is coming from. Any candidate that risks the GOP 'master plan' is seen as someone to beat down and toss off the overpass rolled up in a flaming carpet.

The normal voters don't give a flying handshake about OWS. OWS is a bunch of freaks, losers, and radicals who will have absolutely no impact on the presidential election whatsoever. But they have a remote chance of messing up a few House & Senate races... That's the only thing our dear Frank cares about.

the same great state that gave us Sarah Palin."


Apathy? Surely not. Congrats, deathcow! <smileyface> </smileyface>

In all fairness, I think it is fine to call out Orlando. After all Sarah Palin called for "crosshairs" on Gifford and got tons of flack for it and this was much more pointed than that.
Personally, I think calling for someone to be arrested, charged with a crime, etc. is more appropriate when they are a lying douchebag. Calling for death just shows a level of hyperbole which is uncomfortably NRAish. It's like that guy, forgetting his name now, but he's a "journalist" who basically said that the US should go into a civil war because the conservatives have all the guns... it is basically saying that having the ability to cause violence makes you right. Scary stuff, joking or not.


The journalist douchebag you're talking about is Andrew Breitbart.

Politically correct speech is notorious for presenting a facade of morality in front of nothing.

KO has said sarah palin is a threat, he calls people out as the worst person in the world, but he's the responsible person here?

KO thinks orlando Jones is going to cause sarah palin's death?
Pretty much everyone (i guess) has said worse things about sarah palin than Orlando Jones has.
Where does KO come from? What planet?


Did you hear KO say that Orlando Jones was going to cause Sarah Palin's death--I didn't.

He said that it is unacceptable to joke about killing a public figure.

"And, no you're not responsible if you do provoke it, but you should be responsible enough never to run the chance of provoking it"

I Think Not.

Fun fact, the actress they've cast as Monica Lewinsky is the same one who played Sarah Palin in Nailin' Palin.
