ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW? No? Don't be DISTRACTED!!!

Palin's main job, which she is doing like a smart politician, whose main job is to be a DISTRACTION.

That's pure Karl Rove strategy. He ran the white house (into the ground) for 7 years. He started a war as pure politics! He traitorously exposed a CIA operative (doing that really is treason and there's proof he did it).

And his ploy is simple, yet effective"

Let's not talk about war, or the economy, or home foreclosures or gas prices.

No, let's talk about VP Barbie.

And, of course, it works, because the media is so shocking shallow, superficial and stupid. It used to be called the "fourth estate" like it was part of the US government Judicial/Legislative/Executive.

But it long ago shirked its responsibility in exchange for ratings. And for some reason, that has generally mean, "Pick Democrats to death while repeating Republican lies as truths and giving them a free pass."

I don't understand why Republicans get to lie and not be challenged on it, whereas if a Democrat does one little thing it's the end of the world (lipstick on a pig, anyone--another distraction). I don't get it. I don't see how the press benefits from attacking democrats and kissing Repugnantcan ass, but they do.

Maybe it's their corporate parents--but even then, Republicans are BAD for the economy. They have been for over 100 years. A recent study shows that the country and individuals do TWICE as well under a Democrat president than under a Republican.

It's not hard to figure out why. The Republican party is the party for the rich, greedy or stupid (and "no child left behind" was designed to keep people stupid by not really teaching, just forcing kids to remember--and believe--what they're told!). No wonder Republicans don't help. They don't have positive ideas, they just have negative attacks.

Not one major government project that really helps people--we're talking about Social Security, Medicare, things like that, has been created by Republicans--in fact, they always fight them, and then try to dismantle them (as Bush tried to do with Social Security--he would have put all our money into the sub-prime mortgages and the if Bush has his way--Social Security would have been wiped out. Maybe that was the plan, yet another way to suck all the money from the middle class and give it to the rich).

But it stinks. STINKS. And people are too stupid to smell it deserve to be lied to and cheated, as they have been for eight years.

But the 49% (or probably more) that does smell it--we don't deserve to be dropped into the dump because of the stupid people.

That's why we have to fight stupidity.

NOW, before it's too late.

Start by ignoring Sarah Palin (or admitting she could be a Russian spy!). Focus on the real problems of this country.

ARE YOU BETTER OFF NOW THAN YOU WERE EIGHT YEARS AGO?

OF COURSE NOT.

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
