Pineguy gave up the pretense of advocating Palin and is now advocating Rand Paul. I wonder what the logic of that is? I know, it is because Rand Paul said today that he won't stand against Obama's plan of withdrawing from Afghanistan.
You are so transparent!! Was this not so great, in your opinion, beating received by the Democratic party this last week also Bush's fault????
God, you're an idiot sometimes. I thought we should have pulled out of Iraq and Afghanistan after Obama got elected. I've never advocating them staying.
I think Rand is head and shoulders above Palin in both political savvy and intellect.
Pineguy - you make my point. A chart produced in modern times showing your position? The logical fallacy of appeal to authority? Pray tell, what are the credentials of the people who made the graph you displayed? Ah, yes - just another website with a graph. :rofl

Yeah, I liked his Vikings/Childress rant much better!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Since this is a tongue-in-cheek "discussion" anyway, I thought I'd post this. Some of you have likely seen it before...but some things are just funny enough for a revisit and it seems relevant to the current mood in D.C.. With the recent election outcomes, I suspect the pressure is particularly high on Canadian border officials to screen the people trying to leave the U.S. through desperate means. Can we afford a fence running from Maine to Washington State?

Canadians: "Build a Damn Fence!"
The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration. The recent actions of the Tea Party are prompting an exodus among left-leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray, and to agree with Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck.
Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal-rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at night.
"I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota . The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn't have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?"
In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. He then installed loudspeakers that blared Rush Limbaugh across the fields. "Not real effective," he said. "The liberals still got through and Rush annoyed the cows so much that they wouldn't give any milk."
Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons and drive them across the border where they are simply left to fend for themselves." A lot of these people are not prepared for our rugged conditions," an Ontario border patrolman said. "I found one carload without a single bottle of imported drinking water. They did have a nice little Napa Valley Cabernet, though."
When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumours have been circulating about plans being made to build re-education camps where liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR races.
In recent days, liberals have turned to ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have been disguised as senior citizens taking a bus trip to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching half a dozen young vegans in powdered wig disguises, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior citizens about Perry Como and Rosemary Clooney to prove that they were alive in the '50s. "If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we become very suspicious about their age." an official said.
Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage and are renting all the Michael Moore movies. "I really feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them." an Ottawa resident said. "How many art-history majors does one country need?"
