More Batshit Craziness from the "Values Party"

On the occasion of Sarah Palin's actual resignation some dear Republicans provide context to one of the more bizarre events of contemporary American politics:

This poster (possibly from AZ) believes John McCain carried his "home" state solely because of Sarah Palin.

   Sarah
   Palin throws the liberal media in a tail spin every time she speaks.
   Not surprisingly, the RINO’s also have a fit for she is not an
   establisnment Republican and they detest her social values. Had it not
   been for Palin, I dare say McCain would not have carried a single state
   in last fall’s election (emphasis mine). Sarah Palin will be a force to reckon with for
   years to come. God speed to her in her travels around this country.

Apparently Calypso believes McCain is a talented ventriloquist as long as his trousers don't muffle his "voice."

   Agreed,
   Realist. Palin saved McCain from total devastation. He was the wrong
   man at the wrong time and did more to damage the Republican ticket than
   anyone out there. The majority of Republicans I know finally decided to
   vote because of Sarah Palin. She energized the electorate in a way the
   aging and nasty McCain never was able to do. It showed the total
   disconnect he has with his own party when his “fat-assed” (her words,
   not mine) blasted Palin after the election.(again, my emphasis)

And this mental giant thinks citizens from Alaska can run for a Nevada Senate seat.

   While
   I am a big fan of Sarah’s, I don’t see her as the answer to ending
   BHO’s “reign” in 2012. I think that will fall to someone else. I’d like
   to see her in the Senate, replacing that idiot Harry Reid. I think she
   could be a real force for change in the Congress and energize the
   Republican Party.

Ye Shall Know Them by Their Crazy S*%t Writings

A usually dense writer featured at Sonoran Alliance and other extremist web sites morphed from dense to crazy this week on the topic of the young American soldier who went missing late last month and had video taken by the Taliban released recently.



Ms. Gayle Plato, M. Ed., in the guise of an open letter to President Obama, pealed off a few bon mots:

I will get right to my point. Sir, your decisions astound me. I am in
awe of you. I am in awe of your abject cruelty and disregard for our
people. Every day I see examples of your flippant attitude, and wimpy
reactions to strife.

and more,

Our families are going broke, while you push more taxes. Legislation is
being pushed through without ANY light of day, no debate, and total
secrecy. Where is the transparency sir? I am amazed by your
indifference.

and yet more,

You are heartless to blatantly party when our men and women in uniform are being held hostage.

and,

But this boy who’s more a man than you, he’s just trying to get home.

ending with,

Mr. President, if you cannot take lead, you must resign. Otherwise, I
can promise you Mr. President, every one us us that’s a mom or dad,
that’s watching you dance, we will remember this horror come election
day. Waffling cowards are not fit to lead the greatest nation on earth.

Ms. Plato publishes under the moniker "Rightwoman." But she can't seem to get right basic facts of the timeline. Commentators take her to task for those errors she never acknowledges. One of the commentators in support of her screed was the owner of the blog, Mr. Shane Wikfors. He calls out "the libs" and then states the soldiers death, if it occurs, would be because of political philosophy!

Shane Wikfors is the Executive Director of Arizona Right to Life so we know how he balances opinion with facts.

Brewer looking to work with Democrats

Unable to get the votes from her own party, Gov. Jan Brewer said Tuesday she's willing to accept demands by Democrats to let the state property tax return in exchange for their votes to put her sales tax hike on the ballot.

I don't see AZ House Democrats rounding up enough votes to pass the Brewer Sales Tax proposal. If the Governor can find the time in her busy schedule to review the Democrat's proposal they may have the start to negotiations. Is it possible that Governor Brewer will have to pull a 'Janet Napolitano' just to get a budget?

Brewer's desire to make a deal with whoever is willing to work with her doesn't stop with the idea of restoring the state property tax. The governor said Tuesday she's even willing to consider an alternate Democratic plan that would raise the extra funds not by raising the tax rate but by instead expanding the list of products and services subject to the tax.

"If they could show me that that would be a benefit to raise the kind of revenue that we need, and that it would be easily understood how it would be incorporated, I'm willing to discuss it,'' she said. "I'm willing to discuss any option to save the future of Arizona.''

"Just Tax" - HQ Music Video - Lady Gaga Parody

Very little Lady Gaga but a whole lotta Gary Numan and Miami Vice. Is this why Republicans are so wistful for the days of Reagan?

Former GOP Congressmen Accuse Republicans Of Putting Party Above Constitution

Former Reps. Mickey Edwards (R-Okla.) and Chris Shays (R-Conn.) made the argument that if the Republican-controlled Congress had exhibited greater oversight during former President George W. Bush's time in office, they could have prevented some of the most calamitous results of that administration and even saved thousands of lives.
