The latter.

Ah yes, the reciprocity of reciprocal reciprocation; or, the Three "R"s of politics.

That depends. Is global warming real or not ?

Then we'd lose our technicality loophole in court.

A very nice plea for reasonableness...which I admit I tend to lose when I get passionate. But take out 'goddamn' and 'evil' and my statement still stands strong. She's a tool at this point (and I mean it literally not figuratively) and she is being hypocritical too.

And that changes what?

Obama say's bring a gun to a knife fight....

So what's your point?

I took your reply seriously because I have not figured out what Sarah Palin is all about.
If pushed, I would be dismissive of her.
But it appears the Republicans are going with her, not against her.
So as in my post above, I'd like a better idea of where she is headed.

The Rohm Emmanuel quote sounds quite cynical, albeit apropos right now... but only if it is limited to the first sentence.
When his next sentence is added, it is a much more of a constructive statement.
That is, many cliches include the idea that "problems are opportunities"
for those who are willing to accept them.

At the time of my post above, I had not seen the entire video clip of SP's remarks posted today.
I urge everyone to go to UTube and view the entire 7:43 minutes.

Early in her remarks, she says she has reflected for several days, asking for guidance.

This confirms to me that she knew (or should have known) what she is saying in this video.
My point is that she is not just making offhand remarks.
Instead, she is deliberately using the words and phrases in this video,
and so can and should be held responsible for them.

For now, I was largely disappointed in her messages in today's video.

Allow me. Trying to apply reason, logic to her remarks is a exercise in cognitive dissonance. I have followed her remarks, and I hope you'll find this analysis of "what Sarah Palin is all about" helpful.

Do not attempt to draw conclusions between our Constitutional Rights and the muddled issues of the EU. There is no comparison. Apples and Oranges. Moral questions are answered by each individual country. Do Not try to drag our country into other countries issues on this subject if you are not willing to have the same critical assessments.

So take your ten foot pole and put it where it belongs........

Wtf have the 'muddled issues of the EU' got to do with anything? I was talking about protesters holding up signs calling for violent acts.

It wouldn't stretch all the way across the pond.

Than do not try to draw comparisons between what people over there say in public and our folks say in public, as protected by our First Amendment rights as a comparison with radical Muslim extremists who killed a Cartoonist because he violated some BS line in the sand...
