Who else thinks Palin's speech will be great?! Considering she majored in journalism in college and was a sports announcer. I think she will hit all major talking points and the head with precision.

Someday us 1.1 percent of GAF will have a decent thread to post in.

Until then, I shall make like other fellow RepubliGAF and stay the hell away from off topic politics threads.

Thanks. I guess I'm more harsh in that I would just get rid of the tax cuts Bush put in place and go from there. I wouldn't give any more tax cuts right off the bat.

Ditto. The deficits are due in no small part to this. Tax cuts followed by a war? Brilliant. PEACE.

BTW, doesn't this whole Palin pick run counter to the "If the election is about Obama, he loses, if it's about McCain then Obama wins in a landslide" theory?

You worded that weird.

Yes, government ballooned under Reagan. Talk about a fuck up. "Here poor people meet my new economics plan called the Piss On You Theory! Or Trickle Down Economics!"

Good government governs well, Republican government never governs well.

conservatives over the past 30 years tend to run on a platform that says government is a problem and it can't be trusted.

conservatives get elected...and run untrustworthy governments filled with problems. Then when reelection comes around, they say "see! government can't be trusted! don't trust those liberals that say government can be a benefit!"

it's actually quite genius. Of course, this doesn't mean liberals are always great at governing or anything, but at least they don't criticize the job that they're actually applying for

I doubt most managers would hire someone who openly hates the very job they're applying for, but somehow that's seen as a benefit in politics.

It's guys like King_Slender, siamesedreamer and CoolTrick being the vocal minority, and they in turn have brought nothing but hostility towards themselves because of the way they act.

VanMardigan doesn't share most of the views of PoliGAF, but he's been treated very fairly and without hostility because he's been keeping his cool when posting his political views.

Holy shit, did the Harvard multi-millionaire who lives in Massachusetts honestly just begin his speech by making fun of "liberal eastern elites?"

Welcome to the twilight zone!

Also, fuck Romney.

HEY ASSHOLE. Newsflash: Your side was in control for 20 of the past 28 years, jackass.

I agree the government ballooned under Reagan (and every president since really), though if you look at the numbers there was ONE YEAR where spending went down slightly overall compared to the previous year.

Seriously. We have had a conservative Washington for more than the majority of the past eight years, and look where we ended up.

What the hell is he talking about.
