AT, I realize Palin

AT, I realize Palin isn't/wasn't up to the task of home schooling...way above her pay-grade and capabilities, and the extra effort wouldn't bring cash rolling into her bank account for exerting little to no effort on her part. I was hinting that she seems to be an avid supporter in the efforts of those who do and those who do so are staunch tea-baggers and/or hard-core republicans that find a common interest in her efforts to reign supreme over every one beneath Palin's standards.

There's something about sharing the costs for the benefit of all that comes into play that Angle and tea-baggers seem to forget. It was fine that everyone pitched in to help pay off the costs of raising their children...schools, teachers, libraries, parks, recreation and public pools, school events, music lessons, but now that their children are grown up why should they have to pay for something they don't use? Why hasn't anyone put the question to them?

That "something" would be the particularly noxious blend of selfishness and self-righteousness that make up the mindset of a "Libertarian" at present.

A shorter version of it would be "Me, me, me, me!" repeated endlessly at top volume no matter the context.

Palin didn't homeschool,

Palin didn't homeschool, although if she did Bristol might not be changing diapers. The reason she left Juneau and decided the Govenor didn't need to live in the capital and moved her family back home is that in the small town capital (about 40k people) is that Bristol was having a hard time keeping her legs closed and was getting quite a reputation. So back to Meth-silla and Bristol got to find Levi. How'd that work out Sarah? She then filed for per diem for being away from Juneau and collected even though this was her choice. Amazingly this was the reason she quit her job on the Alaska Oil&Gas Conservation Commission, because the chairman was taking per diems and she said she couldn't stand to be around that kind of blatant fraud. It seem s Sarah can learn from the past.

But beware a scorned Todd. Troopergate anyone? And the person praying Sarah isn't elected the most..... Levi, he know's there would be a special cell in Gitmo just for him.

Shoe's? I realize that emails sent from a Blackberry can be hasty and probably not proofread, but shoe's? He obviously realized he needed to use a possessive in the sentence because he's referring to shoes that belong to his wife. Maybe he needs a refresher course on possessive pronouns.

Or maybe he needs to stop writing emails altogether. Yeah. I like that idea better.

All jokes aside, Palin is a threat to the political stability of the political process. It's not so much Palin as it is those tea-baggers with their MILF fantasizes. And let's not forget an almost huge majority of the tea-bagger movement Palin is capitalizing on are completely clueless about how our government and political processes work. For instance, they're totally against socialism, yet can't comprehend the costs of their police, fire, libraries and schools are spread across the entire public domain. Sharron Angle is furious that her health insurance costs includes maternity care which she no longer needs. Yet as a single individual living in Nevada, my property taxes included my fair share of the costs to pay off bond issues for schools...I have no children.

There's something about sharing the costs for the benefit of all that comes into play that Angle and tea-baggers seem to forget. It was fine that everyone pitched in to help pay off the costs of raising their children...schools, teachers, libraries, parks, recreation and public pools, school events, music lessons, but now that their children are grown up why should they have to pay for something they don't use? Why hasn't anyone put the question to them?

Also, since Angle, and I suspect Palin too, are avid home schooler types, one has to think about what a home schooler is being taught by the likes of Angle and Palin's supporters....are they being taught material in an objective or subjective manner? How can one home school a child if parent that has a specific slant to how the polilical process works, a pre-concieved opinion of the history of the US, a specific religious bias and so forth. Keep in mind, many of their children will be of voting age within the next 5 to 10 years and how they were taught will reflect how they will vote in coming elections.

That's the real danger Palin and the tea-bagger poses...a fifth column movement by children indoctrinated to their way of thinking. We see the effect the parents are having now with turning the GOP upside down and shaking out their loose change.

I think the very important revelation here is Todd as 'shadow' presidential candidate. If 'Quitter' runs for president which I imagine she might do just to gain more power and money even though she can't win, we can look forward to interviewing Todd as to what 'he' will do once 'he' is in 'office'.

Palin "will never have a happy day in her life." OK, sounds fair.
