2. K & R. Palin shows she will continue the divisive politics Rove carefully crafted for Bush.

I truly hope that more Americans will wake to see that is a diversion so they don't pay attention to the issues that are causing most Americans daily pain. Health care, inflation, jobs, the war in Iraq, etc.

7. Thanks. My concern here is that Dems read and think logically. Rebublicans don't.

then again, these types of thoughtful articles are not written for the red meat crowd. Fortunately, it seems that there are less of them this year, my anger and venom are receding a bit today after last night's turd in a toilet speech.
