From her home state, the Alaska Dispatch:

Yeah, she announced her resignation a couple days ago. Not clear why, although I assume it is because she wants to prepare for a presidential bid. But resigning doesn't look good if that is the case.

I don't know what is more amusing, the fact that she is resigning the post she was fortunate enough to win, or the fact that she would think that she had a chance to win the presidency. Maybe she just needed a new wardrobe.

I would say sharing Bush's "spend spend spend and hope the economy picks up from us spending" viewpoint*, attempting to charge Bush-era advisers with crimes for offering their view on issues, increasing taxes on many Americans and attempting to tell corporations (even those who didn't take stimulus money) how to run is pretty much an L in the Dems' column for 2012.

Unless, of course, Palin or someone Limbaugh supports gets the nomination.

Excuse me while I go fill out my voter registration card so I can vote for the Libertarians...

He already has. Owebama is a 1-and-done president.

What did you just call him? Is that supposed to be a racist slur?

Also, his support numbers are ridiculous. Kind of early to say, but the way things are going, he's going to roll whoever has the misfortune to challenge him.

Some of you are a faster draw than Wyatt Earp with the racist card. Kinda takes away from real racism.

Liberal debate tactics:
1. Call opponent homophobe or racist in attempt to scare them off.
2. Call immature names or question intelligence in attempt to scare them off.
3. If one and two fail, ask that they are silenced.

It's hilarious, because you and skizzik both seem to think I'm a liberal. I'm actually probably far more conservative (politically, rather than socially) than either of you. I'm a libertarian that leans towards anarchy. Please remember that.

If "Owebama" isn't a racist slur trying to play on his African heritage, then what is it? It's not "an attempt to scare them off" if it's actually calling out your or his blatant racism, by the way.

I haven't called my opponents names or questioned intelligence until they've been completely and well earned.

And I haven't asked that anyone be silenced. You're entitled to spout your nonsense, as a American citizen and a user on the tubesnet. Just keep in mind I don't have to acknowledge it.

Edit: Oh, I get it. OWE-bama. I retract my accusations of racism, though I still claim it sure looks a lot like anti-African racism as text.

And before you mindlessly accuse me of being an economic liberal, let me remind you that I've been against bailing out GM/AIG/BofA/Citi from the start. Side note: Isn't calling him names somewhat hypocritical of you so-called conservatives? Since you guys can never do any wrong, right?

I would guess it's related to the skyrocketing national deficit. Doesn't that seem fairly obvious to you? It was the first thing I thought when I saw it.

The people who support him are the ones too stupid to realize that under his watch, taxes on nicotine products are going to make cigarettes unbuyable and his other policies are going to put us in so much debt that our kids will hardly be able to make a living.

OH NOSE NOT MY CIGARETTES!!!

People will buy them because they are addicted.

I know what 1-and-done means, thanks.

Also, what's wrong with making nicotine unbuyable? It's not too much to ask that smokers pay their future Medicare forward.

Agreed. If you want to poison the air and burden the health care system, you should pay. The next thing that should start to be taxed to help curb the obesity epidemic is HFCS. Anyone with me on this?

Because you didn't just ask what it meant 3 posts ago. Either make your sarcasm more apparent or go troll somewhere that's inhabited by kids who are closer to the age you tend to act.
