I don't know what this is, but it is flat-out wrong to identify Kevin
Phillips as a liberal. He is a conservative who hated the Bush family.
Apparently, in some circles that makes him a liberal.

Whereas you and Obama would sooner tell a lie than the truth.

I was looking at the Vegas odds for president in 2012 and Palin was
tied for third with Hillary. Obviously, Obama is the strong favorite
followed by Romney. Of course, once the Republicans nominate their
candidate, the odds get much closer.

There's no way you can totally dismiss her chances. If Obama has
three more years like the last one, it doesn't really matter who the
Republicans put up.

If you believed in hope and change, along with a catalogue of other campaign
promises, then you got fooled. Don't feel bad.....so did the majority of
Americans....this time.

They will not be fooled again in 2010 and 2012.

Showing up to spew a little more bile, eh David? I am sorry that you are
so unhappy in your life. Perhaps that's what caused you to jump the gun
the way you did. As your own quote observes, before Phillips became a
liberal political commentator he was a campaign strategist for Richard
Nixon. He obviously would have thoroughly understood the strategies used
in Nixon's campaigns and was therefore more than qualified to speak
about them.
