And it appears the tea party movement has morphed into a for-profit
organization seeking to milk its gullible supporters for money. $500+ to
watch the dingbat read notes of her hand! Geez, what a racket.

That is certainly true. And if Palin is serious about running for the
Republican nomination she'll somehow have to fool people for another two
years. It's hard to imagine her making it that long without finding a
way to torpedo her own boat.

I thought Obama was going to beat Hillary back when nearly everyone
assumed she would win. I knew if he got the nomination he would beat
whoever the Republicans nominated. And then of course McCain picked the
dingbat and "solved" the financial crisis, and by then the inevitable
was obvious to everyone. I also said that Obama is more of a pragmatic
centrist than either the right or left realizes, that the far left would
feel betrayed even as the center right found they could work with him.
From where I sit, I'm one of the few who didn't get fooled.

Very clever Carby, make sure to use only what you want people to see
so it supports your argument. This is what you didn't include in that
first sentence:

"Although the phrase "Southern strategy" is often attributed to former
Richard Nixon strategist turned liberal political commentator Kevin
Phillips, he did not originate it,[1] but merely popularized it.[2] In
an interview included in a 1970 New York Times article, he touched on
its essence:"

Tell us Carby, the person who always demands "objectivity", why did
you leave out that little piece of information that identified
Phillips as a liberal?

I'll ask you again, name this masses of racist migrating over to the
republicans.
