I hope she recovers and returns to Congress. Interesting times, that would be.
Well, I would have voted for her.
I was just thinking the same thing as Belle...if she does survive can you see her riding her personal story to the White House? Stranger things have happened. Maybe Palin fucked up in reverse and help a democrat get elected. But this is all academic.
Why does this old Clash lyric pop into my head?
"You have the right to free speech
As long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it"
Scary times in the home of the free and the land of the brave...
Positively BONE CHILLING.
Scary times.
And she's a bit all over the map with her beliefs. Always wished we could do away with party affiliations though.
In the far Canadian territories they don't have political parties. They rule by consensus. The populace votes in people who they like and the government that is formed work with their fellow members to reach majority decisions. The campaigns are different too. It's not about demonizing their opponents because they have no opponents. It become more about proclaiming your own talents to get elected.
