According to the Arizona Daily Independent, the only members of the audience who showed any appreciation for McCain were a âmostly silver-haired factionâ and outside supporters reportedly brought in to cheer him on. ⌠Activists also say that the ones who were cheering for him seemed oddly âchoreographed.â

From a recent speech it might appear Palin has fallen and struck her head as well. As the years go by and we learn more about these two, it is becoming abundantly clear that 2008 was little more than republican theater.

Good call, Besoeker. Palin has a role to play in stemming the left's destruction of Western civilization but the White House isn't it.
Had they - or Romney and Ryan - been elected, we would certainly be better off than we are. By how much is anyone's guess. But they were not.
In McCain and Palin, the Repubs threw up exactly the sort of thing that Obama's core - the publicly employed, anti-Christian bigots, NPR-listening pseudointellectuals, and grievance group arsonists - would be maximally motivated to campaign against and defeat. Despite having other candidates that might have been better.
Romney and Ryan scared away (very nearly) all conservatives with a public paycheck. The detested Obama but couldn't bring themselves to vote for a team that might remove their funding. So they stayed home. Had they voted, Romney would be our president. The 47% comment was accurate but lethal to his candidacy.
The challenge for Scott Walker - the only Repub with the pedigree to walk back a public work force which is 4 times larger than it should be - is to not scare those conservatives off while a candidate but remain true to the cause while in office.

McCain, who is a fool, is the Republican's Joe Biden.

The left and feckless media have only scorn for Palin's family drama while the adoration of Camelot with it's multi-generational cheating, death, and debauchery are the stuff of fascination and intrigue. Must be something to do with upstairs privilege. An interesting indictment I'd say.

Beso, you forgot ROMANCE those items you catalog are the left's idea of great romance; doing what you want and sticking it to anything remotely moral is their love affair, their romance.

Sorry about the inadvertent deletion of 'romance.' Be able to swim whilst intoxicated, and saying goodbye to your sinking Oldsmobile, vital elements as well I suppose.
There were so many reasons for conservatives and TEA party types to not vote for Romney / Ryan. I don't think paychecks even makes the top 100.

Agree that there were many reasons. Don't agree with your description of the proportionality.
The "Romney is a squish" meme was vastly less a factor than reported. But it sure made a good excuse not to vote for R/R and end the gravy train for government employees. I had several tell me flat out this is what they did.
We'll just have to disagree on this.

Term limits for Congress critters: two terms for senators; five for representatives.
And no pension or health care after they leave office. Congress was not supposed to be a career.

I suspect Palin is again playing decoy for the republicans. She'll pretend like she's going to run, get all the media panting after her so that the others can actually get some stuff done.
I suspect she enjoys making the left froth at the mouth these days.
âPresident Barack Obamaâs decision to cancel his visit to Agra came after Uttar Pradesh authorities insisted that he would not be allowed to use his armour-plated car to drive through the Taj Mahalâs eastern gate, government sources have told The Indian Express,â acccording to the express website.
âThe Secret Service, which protects President Obama, said having him travel into the complex in a battery-powered golf-cart posed an unacceptable security risk.â
The site said the provincial government refused special permission for Obamaâs car, called the Beast, as well as his motorcade, inside the gates of the famous Taj Mahal in Agra, India.
âBasically,â a senior Home Ministry official said, âthey told us to get an order from the Supreme Court, which was of course impossible in the time we had left.
