political bribery---the change weve all been waiting for

I mean what can ya say? Its not like they are trying to hide it anymore.....I see no political advantage to any of what they are doing....am I wrong? What do ya'll think? Is Obama just going balls to the wall and 1 term and he is done? Or is there something else....cause the timing isnt gonna go well for the mid-terms or 2012?

^ i think he is just counting on his ace in the hole . . . Sarrah Palin. :jointsmile:

Hi all !!!

I guess you are speaking of the senate bill.

It has a long way to go, to get anywhere.
They have to vote just to debate it :)

I will agree with Sarah Palin as his ace in the hole, she is the best thing the
republicans could have done for the Democrats.

Ah. Iono but obama will only go 1 term, that's already for sure i think. So if Sarah Palin runs she will win hands down + she's a MILF. Just see how many books sale and that's at least that many votes.

cannamanibus you make me chuckle !!!! :S2:

I can't really see anyone voting for her unless she has a super great VP candidate. Odds are she would resign before her term was up. Things tend to get a little hot in the kitchen when she is cooking. :)

I don't see book sales as a good indicator. They are giving those things away,and it's only been out about a week. :)

in the 'old days', when people voted with their brains, instead of with their 'feelings', there would be NO way Obama could possibly win a second term (or, the first term, for that matter) ... however, the weakness of a Palin candidacy (I 'could' vote for her, but would prefer a stronger candidate), combined with the vote-splitting of a 3rd party (which is exactly what put Clinton into office, both elections), and, the ignorance and selfishness of modern voters (selfishness, as in 'Obama will legalize my dope' voters, :wtf:), may spell doom for America at the polls ... this country will NEVER improve, as long as selfish Voters cast their ballots for 'themselves', instead of what's good for the country, as a whole ... greed and selfishness SUCK, regardless of which side of the fence it is on ... I predict we are heading into a worse depression than we've ever seen, see how you like your 'change' then ... :smokin:

Great Post the image reaper !!!!!

Couldn't rep you :( I need to spread it around a bit.

I may not agree with all your ideas but I can get behind thinking of the country before myself.

I guess all we need to do is figure out what is the best for the country. :)

why the fuck is this dumb bastard still our president, is there a post clinton cause that eliminates the ability to impeach the commander in chief and his cronies?

willie nelson for president

I voted for her for VP, but I gotta be honest she strikes me as phony. :twocents: even more so than other pols.

I would have voted for Ron Paul if he had been on our ballot here. :wtf:

. . . and YES! Willie for President! if not in real life then a movie about would be cool, too. :pimp:

My personal choice for 2012, if she would have any interest in running, would be Michele Kubby, wife of Steve Kubby, who taught herself both Canadian and US law in order to save her family from the prohib dogs. :smokin:

I"m just thinking of Sarah P. runs and wins,, think of it,, 4 years of possible upskirt shots from a hot MILF. I'm sure there will be at least a couple wardrobe malfunctions in a 4 year term.

Problem is, as popular as she is, she'd never with the office, nobody would fire up the left base more than Sarah P.

Sarah Palin in my opinion shouldn't be allowed to operate a hot dog stand, let alone be the president..The more I heard her talk the more it became obvious she doesn't have a fucking clue.

Yah, i just started following politics a little before the last presidential election. I used to not know the difference between parties and what not, nor did i really give a shit. So im still learning. But If they just did the 1st black president and a lady already ran, how could they not hire the 1st lady president? It's possible, if not she will be VP. What's fuckn stupid is that they have 2 totally different answers to the same problems, why can't our govt. work as a actual team and do what is good for the largest portion of people in regular class? Of course you are going to have people that get screwed, b/c you cant please everybody. Im still not sure where i fall "as in party's. I think im a conservative democrat. or a oxymoron? haha iono

U R A IDIOT!!!

I take back what i say b/c the more i watch here the more i realize she is stupid and just hot. She just has good "thought" from the "heartland" but is def. clueless when it comes to some other subjects. She is just a smooth talker and a good politician-(saying what you want to hear). But i say this b/c im watchn Hannity on FOX, and she said blah blah about profilin nidal Hasan, and they looked over this and that like "the secret codeword for whatever it is". Im pretty sure she just said that. WOW. You mean the (fuk, i cant think of it neither now), Islamic crazy group. I dont have to know it, but im not a politician fightin the media.
Those damn 2-3 letter acronym's he (nidal hasan) had on his business card.

Peace, Cannamanibus.;)

^ its all cool, man. :pimp: yeah, fox has really been pushing her since her book came out. that fact alone is generally eneough to make me suspect something is up. something sinister, bu haaa haaa :D

I can't get past the accent. :wtf: i didn't know they talked like that up in Alaska. and those glasses and hair, she looks just like Hank Hills wife on that cartoon. :D maybe she could take over the oprah show. :jointsmile:

I'll tell you all about Sarah Palin after I see her nekkid :thumbsup: ... I gotta 'know' her a little better, before I'd vote for her (my girlfriend hates her :D) ...

Palin.....hmmmmmmmmm. Presidential hell no..... a wonderful attack dog....absolutely. This broad can post something on her gay- ass facebook page and the world takes notice. Thats power & influence.

After living in Minnesota for 5 years I am a big Tim Pawlenty fan....If he could win the nomination....I dunno. I'd also like to see a strong, sane, independent rise up and take America by storm...just some pissed off man or women from nowhere america. A real gressroots constitutionalist.

palin didn't help get mccain elected, so what makes you think that she would win hands down?

she's a joke. she quit her job as governor of alaska because "she had accomplished everything she started out to do".

if any female were to win it would be hillary, but after obama fucked everything up more, not to mention wavers like a stretched out cannabis plant in the wind and can't seem to make up his mind, i don't think a minority will be elected. the american people need a strong leader. i mean when you have people that voted for and support obama saying that "he needs to be more like george w. bush" you know ther is a problem.

:D yeah, really. give us a centerfold and we'll think about it. :pimp: its kinda funny, i have yet to meet any women who really like her. one would think that was the master plan. its like they were all setting around in one of those focus groups trying to come up with the next big thing that women could all digg and someone says . . hey, you know what?? . . . maybe we should drop some acid. :D

but back on topic, who for 2012?? ahh f' that its too soon. :stoned: :rastasmoke:

My wife likes Palin and she works as an engineer for a space agency subcontracter and went to a prestigous University. So it aint all idiot dudes and rednecks that like Palin...regardless of what the MSM tries to tell its 300,000 nightly viewers lol:D

honestly i don't think i've ever talk to anyone who actually likes her and i know a lot of idiot dudes and rednecks. :jointsmile:

She is no different than Obama really....maybe a tad more qualified than the annointed one and he won the election....anything is possible....if anything I enjoy seeing the anger she causes the socialist Liberal democrats.....

First of all, the number of books she sells is a poor way of judging how Sarah Palin would do in a presidential election... If she could even keep it together long enough to make it that far. Im having a hard time understanding why you're so sure Obama wont make it to a second term. In my opinion, if this new health care bill passes the senate, the man's got a golden ticket to his second term. But thats just my opinion. But aside from Obama, Mrs. Palin will never come any closer to white house than she already did with McCain. Palin has a loyal fan base in this country that will stick with her through it all. And thats exactly her problem; shes an idol,, a superstar. Not a politician. A few million book sales says nothing about her political prestige.

They better PRAY....PRAY they can pass that joke of a healthbill....i cant even believe the socialist half of the "democrat' party would favour signing their names to this community college written bill.

Whats Harry Reid polling right now? 20 or 30 points behind his challenger? Better hurry LMAO.......cause the people of Nevada are gonna vote him out or lynch him....

yeah, that is definately a bonus :jointsmile: but I don't enjoy seeing the conservative Republicans sit at home and not vote because she is such a joke. that is my problem with her. they need to get real if they ever expect my vote again.

Yes !!!!
This just what this country need right now!!!
Fascist Conservative Republicans angering the Socialist Liberal Democrats!!!

The Democrats cant pull it together when they have the power to pass what they want. The Republicans have no intention of doing anything but blocking any attempt to move forward.

As for Sarah, if fancy pageant walking is a qualification, she wins.
She isn't even qualified to do an unscripted interview on a real news show!!
If you have seen any of her repeated interviews on Fox Entertainment you have seen them all!
Even Oprah let her slide on her interview.

Good thing I'm a Moderate :)
