If Palin can continue to siphon votes from the Republican party in more elections - which also works for her personally revenge-wise and visibility-wise, she can make these state elections a shoe-in for Dems.

I say go, Sarah, go! Support the third party candidate in every election you can reach! I think principles are just great, especially when they don't lead to anything except posturing.

Now if they could only find a cure for his toxic soul.

"Intact" is one word, not two.

Alot of People have spent alot of money to assure that people like yourselves think exactly the way you do, for your townhall theatrics, and for the hysteria and lies that you all suck up like candy.

In America, money always wins, especially when it's spent by powerful people wanting to hold onto their power so they can make even more money.

It's the American, the Christian Way.

"s it any wonder the Times readership is dwindling. Not only because of columns like this, but also Maureen Dowds recent column about racism..."

Obviously, you're convinced that major newspapers around the country are folding tbey print things that fringies don't approve of.

Well, that's about par for what I would expect here.

"Progressives and liberals don't really value democracy."

This is just the kind of wise, thought-out, brilliant observation that TH is famous for, and definitely the kind one expects.

Maybe you should write a treatise, Jason.

I am not really astonished at the amount of hatred you carry around, you wouldn't post here otherwise. But what does surprise me is how specific you are, your list of people, institutions, organizations, individuals that you hate is remarkable as it must take up so much of your time and energy.

REgular TH posters just send up rancid hate clouds of smoggy, ill-informed, paranoid, generalized delusion - they like to hate anybody and anything. But yours is really organized, do you make lists every day?

Well, maybe it doesn't. Maybe it's easy for you.

Tom Friedman is out to get you personally, boys. He has spent his wntire life travelling and writing books just to bunch up your underwear. You are right to imagine that this has been his main goal in life.

Unlike Barone, he has overestimated the basic intelligence levels of most Americans, but,fortunately, he still finds a strong readership, which has nothing to do with the NY Times.

Only an idiot would somehow correlate Friedman's views with declining subscriptions in the American press.

But, then, if you want real logic and have a genuine curiousity about how thinks really work, what other countries really look like, and how important people really think, this is not the blog you would look at.

This is...

Barone, who is not stupid, and contrived this disingenuous mish-mash because he knows how paranoid and dumbed down his readers are, and that in a more enlightened climate he could never get away with it.

Cons are so easily manipulated, it's a populist thing< I guess, that reacts to emotion and theater more than ideas.

As long as there is an hysterical, right wing fringe popel like Barone will do just fine, thank you.

Ka-Ching!

"A ctually,we only need a conservative who loves the country,it's Constitution and it's people"

Then you shouldn't have any trouble at all. We all know that it's only conservatives who love their country so anybody from yesterday's March will probably do.

Why don't you solicit Glen Beck or Sarah Palin? They say they love our country.

Your platform could be that you are against everything, but for love of country, flags waving in the breeze, and apple pie. I think that might be right up Miss Vicky's alley, by the way.

" In my past Orlando rally my 3 signs read, "Prez O is not listening" "Big Brother is watching" and "Obama is not my daddy!" "

I get it. You actually WRITE for Hallmark card.
