Barry and Palin are a great contrast.

Barry's infinitely more smooth and buttoned-down than Palin, but has all the wrong answers. Palin is wrong-headed on social issues, but gets high marks on political and fiscal issues.

I'm still waiting for super-genius Barry to spend $5T on a new federal agency aimed at reducing the size of government.

Not to be an asshole, but I think every intelligent person on here needs you to expand on this statement.

Youre joking, right?

seriously??? ok...so a friend/client of mine attended an international lumber convention in vancouver b.c. a couple weeks ago and she was one of the speakers...and she's up in front of all these millionaire/billionaire lumber tycoons and she kept referring to them as "you lumberjacks"...first off, the proper terminology is "loggers" and sencondly, most of these muh-fuggers couldn't even figure out how to fire up a fucking chainsaw, let alone fell a tree with one, and she's calling them "you lumberjacks"...now, i realize that's part of her folksy, "aw-shucks" persona, but she said it like a hundred times...most of the dudes weren't real impressed, to say the least...part of "intelligence" is being able to read and understand your audience, so that you can communicate with them effectively...and, she ain't got it, imho.

I'll name a few of her publically-stated positions:

- She is anti-bailout
- She is for social security reform
- She is against Fannie/Freddie (wants them shut down)
- She is pro-nuclear as well as pro-drilling (i.e. "all of the above")
- She is pro-border security (not a blanket amnesty person)

I'll concede her social conservative issues rub me the wrong way. But economically and fiscally, what specific position does she hold that people find so offensive?

I've said on numerous occasions that I don't like the folksy stuff either. I like my politicians with several coats of paint.

But c'mon now... "loggers" versus "lumberjacks"? Most of the people on this board wouldn't be able to differentiate those terms. And just FYI, Mirriam-Webster considers "lumberjack" a synonym for "logger".

the point i was trying to make is that this audience wasn't a bunch of loggers or lumberjacks or what-ever-the-fuck you wanna call them...these guys (and they were ALL guys) were lumber millionaires/billionaires, most of whom don't know shit about the actual act of "logging" and, she was talking to them like they were a bunch of wood-hicks...these are guys that sit in hand-sewn leather chairs in fine wood and fine italian marble offices...they aren't "lumberjacks" or "loggers"...they're high-powered businessmen that "commute" in lears and gulfstreams.
