Palin: Obama Depending On People Who Want "Free Stuff" To Vote For Him



Thom Hartmann is hitting this heavily today.
His main emphasis was that without "Free Stuff" like roads, courts and infrastructure our free society couldnt operate. So the choice is absurd.

"A whole host of new promises, really a slap in the face to the electorate. There's an estimation of an unintelligent voting bloc out there, I think that President Obama is assuming will continue to want to get free stuff despite free stuff will replace freedom. And he's just assuming that that voting bloc will be large enough to get him back in there but I just pray that Americans will open their eyes between now and November when they, you know, they'll have to make that choice between free stuff or freedom. You can't have both," Sarah Palin said on the Friday night broadcast of FOX News' "Hannity"

It would be nice if Palin simply shut up and dropped out of sight. Sigh.

Note: The title is an homage to Beavis and Butthead, two young men better qualified for office than Palin.

I can't believe this heffer just blamed the President for the Military pay hold up
I have a friend who is Republican and works in the budget office at the Pentagon
he will tell you it was the repugs holding up the money
not the President and because of the moment, he decided he would not longer support the repug party

And then in the bottom coner of the screen they have that banner "lies and deception but offer no proof as to were anyone lied at the DNC

His Wife converted as well, they were both Moderate repugs, they both say they don't recognize their party anymore.
She is not against abortion, she does have child that was the product of a "legitimate rape". her kid is awesome, but she says she was glad to have been the one to make the decision not the Government.

They are not the only Mod republicans I know who are completely turned off by the entire republican party.

And, what a thinking person. To have to decide whether or not to keep the baby after being raped and glad that it was her decision.

I want free stuff from the government.

I have seven grandchildren who need an education. I'm getting old, so I'm glad there's a paramedic unit in town, and I love getting free weather reports before I venture out for the day. My oldest son was injured and depends on the generousity of the govt to eat a few times a week, so yeah... I love "free stuff" from the government.

I'm sorry if that puts Sarah Palin in the oppressive chains of slavery, but fuck her.

This is how the damn republicans have been getting white guys who make $40k per year to vote for them for the last 40 years.
Every code phrase is about how they gubmint is gonna take your stuff and give it to poor lazy black folk.
The goddam idiots buy it while the millionaires rob them blind.
Now the republicons have a scary black man in the white house so it is even easier for them to do it.

Nothing about politics, and I mean nothing pisses me off more than this bullshit.
It is racist, dishonest shit.

(2) during all or part of the qualifying year, the individual was incarcerated as a result of the conviction in this state of a

(A) felony; or
(B) misdemeanor if the individual has been convicted of

(i) a prior felony as defined in AS 11.81.900 ; or

When the history is written Sarah, your name will be a political joke.

A sad reference to a party that was on its death bed, trying to get its oldest male members to feel a final tingle in their naughty bits, before their extinction.

I just don't understand what makes Fox keep going to the Palin well for pearls of wisdom. She could not even complete her term as governor of Alaska. What about her promise to serve the people of Alaska. Those with limited intelligence and ability always find it easy to criticize those doing the actual work, don't they? This lady has spent more time talking about people who actually work, than doing any work herself, besides acting the fool for reality cash.

That sounds pretty far out there. I don't really know what she is trying to say. Would she lock up the poor in need (taking away their freedom to choose) if she was in the WH? The poor do have a freedom to choose. They could choose to seek help (free help) or die on the streets. Live free or die.
