however, as McCain found out, no one can pull her strings, because they're all tangled up. The best she can do is flop around awhile. Half of the people will think it's a new type of leadership. The other half will see it as just flopping around.
Palin's puppetmaster is The Lord Almight Jesus Christ, hallelujah Amen!
Sarah McCrazy just closes her eyes, and listens to the voices in her head for guidance and instruction (just like David Berkowitz).
Of course, someone with about enough smarts not to drool on their own shoes, is someone who can be easily manipulated and controlled. I guess it's a good thing the Republican party doesn't have a ton career Washington insiders who are particularly well versed at manipulating...
For years, everyone had puppet masters behind Reagan, and then when his papers started being released it turns out that he had thousands of pages of handwriten notes and typed drafts that he had done himself, and there was no great puppet master.
Of course, the left has always said the other side was dumb.
Old Ike was a nice avuncular old guy who played golf and was made out as a joke. Of course, rising from West Point and overseeing the largest army in history is no mean feat. Ike's book is still considered a classic, which Stevenson's work gathers dust as a piece of crap.
Funny how W did so much better in college than Gore or Kerry.
Ford was supposed to be dumb - LBJ made jokes about too many football games without a helmet. Doesn't matter if he graduated from Yale. Had to be dumb.
The GOP is always brain dead.
Of course, Obama doesn't need anyone to write his speeches.

Who is steering Palin's ship? And for what reasons?
Look any and all politicitians are bought and sold like beef. By the time they reach national office they don't own enough of their spit to lick a personal stamp.
Her puppetmasters are those who control her media exposure, those who control her party exposure and those who hold her purse strings.
Her job is to balance the requirements of her puppetmasters where their interests may diverge while making it appear to regular Americans that she has THEIR best interests at heart.
Think of a politician as a provider who is hooking behind her husband's back. She's in the midst of a triple with three clients when hubby walks in and realizes that he pays the salary of her three clients plus provides for her needs as well.
Who is steering Palin's ship? And for what reasons?
Just like any other politician: follow the money. Palin gets a $7 million book deal with Harper Collins (owned by News Corp.) and then a multi-year contract with Fox News. Pretty clear that Rupert Murdoch is pulling her strings.
Not that I can blame/credit Obama for the actions of the Fed, but the impending decline of the value of the dollar will have a greater impact on the price of oil than will any anti big business bias.
Obama is quite likely going to make me rich, keep spending money we dont' have, and just keep pumping those dollars into the system.
No, I hate to admit it, but Obama is probably better for the oil business than any Republican, he might finish destroying our economy in the process, but fuck it I'll be rich, so fuck the rest of you. lol
when someone has said something negative about President Obama? I thought so! So much for your theory!
It's just that I've noticed you seem to have only one tool in your tool box. A hammer. And, you seem to only be able to hammer, and hammer on the same point. You don't like President Obama. I got the point, and I got it along time ago.
She is now a media darling, or at least a right wing media darling. She has found an audience, and quite a large one at that.
She has a message and she is getting quite good at getting that message out. I don't happen to agree with much of her particular message, you know how I feel about religious kooks, but she definitely is getting support, and not just from any so called puppet masters.
Those people that Obama ridiculed who hang on to their "guns and religion" are a very powerful voice in this country, I just happen to be one who hangs on to his gun to protect myself from those who hang onto religion. lol
Are you under the impression that I singled you out in order to drive my point home and to you alone? I've not found your posts significant enough to recall a single one and I'm not saying this to try to be an a-hole. And by the way, subject lines get changed within a thread all the time on this and the other discussion boards so I'm a little confused on why you had a problem with mine. Several others commented on the one I posted and you seem to be the only one to have an issue. Have a nice day!
