Pretender. If there's anything these last few election cycles have shown, it's that Palin does all right as a pundit, but when it comes to actual candidacies her endorsement is poison, and running herself is even worse. It's one of the things that even most sane Republicans seem to agree with liberals on: now that she has no more political power, she must be kept from ever getting it again at all costs, even to the point of electing her opponent.

tl;dr version - Palin is the Dennis Kucinich of the American Right: so ridiculously wacko that while she's occasionally useful as a pundit or as a symbol, even most of those who "should" be her allies (among both voters and officials) know better than to give her a serious shot at power.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

Sarah Palin, Jeb Bush or Arnold Schwarzenegger could become the next US President in 2012. Public backlash against Obama over the increasing unemployment rates and taking US economy. Republicans winning 2010 mid terms points to a Republican will win the US President race in 2012.

Sarah Palin is not a real Conservative. She is a crazy woman posing as a Republican. Palin has extreme views that are dangerous and divisive. Palin does not know anything about Foreign Policy and she is too ignorant to be President of America.
