Rahm Emanuel has been the object of much scrutiny and criticism.

Let's see if “bringing Plouffe onto the team” becomes meaningful soon.

Even the Swedes voted in a conservative party a few years back. And have the Swedes ever found the guy who killed their Prime Minister in the middle of Stockholm a dozen years ago? Sounds like a dysfunctional utopia, especially since Swedes can't walk near the docks in Malmo without police protection from the “guest workers” they imported from Islamic countries who have set up a little Malmostan right in the middle of town.

The US is a center-right country and occasionally takes a walk on the wild side only to return to true north, which is the self-identified 40% conservative, 40% indpendent, 20% liberal tripod that has remained the same more or less for over two centuries. Americans don't want socialism and any yoyo who says they do should probably check into a political rehab clinic for de-indoctrination.

Socialized medicine, as with many things children & those in second childhood desire, looks like it's not on the menu anymore. Thanks, Obama, but tell Nancy & Barney and the other congresscritters in safe seats to knock themselves out. Gallup says approval for a US gov takeover of health is in the 35% range and going downhill faster than a luge on an icy slope.

Now we see from the troll Axel, if he is an example, that they are probably the most condescending and least knowledgeable except in their very narrow minds. There are exceptions of course to every rule, but this dude seems to fall into the prejudiced often-wrong-but-never-in-doubt arrogant northern European category. I lived in France for several years and travelled all over Europe, and found most Europeans relatively broad-minded, though a bit convinced their own small slice of national territory possessed an inordinate amount of the world's wisdom and historical importance.

Is there a back story to this? Did Obama's political strategist die in the past year or something? Did all Democrats brain cells fry when they saw Scott Brown? The meltdown is beyond epic now. It's legendary. It sadly plays into key Republican talking point of Obama's lack of leadership…given the evidence, it's hard not to disagree.

So yeah, let's go. President Palin. You betcha, bring her on. The sooner we can assist the full blown meltdown of the US government, the sooner we can start over.

The guy's inexperience and lack of leadership showed from day one. For a smart guy he acted pretty dumb.

Trolls intentionally try to rile people and simplify or make uglier their expressions in order to do so…A troll's statement is designed only to be affronting to certain people

Sounds like a perfect description of you, at least to me.

Trolls don't have to be lying – they just need to be posting with no real purpose but to be offensive in their statements, and to try and get emotional reactions instead of civil dialog.

You confirmed what I suspected was true about you, and have consistently posted the vast majority of you thoughts with as many insult and degrading comments as possible to those who do not agree with you. So yes, you are a troll, IMHO.

More power to you, and have all the fun you want trying to rile people up. I am done with you, unless you change. Others can decide for themselves if it is worthwhile to try and have a dialog with you.

I am merely honest and often provide an outline of my path of thinking, and it's completely up to others to decide whether I am at fault, or you.

Let me just valiantly try to scoop my lower jaw of the floor before I respond.

ANECDOTES. LET US ALL SPEAK IN ANECDOTES.

Two words: “President Cuomo”

You are one of these:

But sometimes it isn't much of a blessing to those listening to some of your more convoluted rantings.
(Although, kernels of truth do filter through sometimes when the smoke clears.)

Don't you think that is a bit unfair?

We're much more boring than you, whicht is such a blessing.

And I still know more about what ails your country and what is best for it.

You commented a while ago about at one time having considering moving to America, but decided not to. So it seems you may never have lived in America at all. Is that true? And are you even an American citizen?

As for fiscal discipline, taxes MUST go up big time to pay for the massive debt the republicans put us under. No budget cutting will ever make a dent in that debt, none. Be like urinating in the ocean to raise the level. Won't happen.

Taxes…..UP PLEASE!

Socialized Medicine…..NOW!

The cartoon is hilarious. In the next pane, the damsel jumps out of the dragon's mouth, kisses the elephant gratefully, and votes it into office while the “Progressive” dragon devours itself. The donkey head is left hanging on a tree as a warning to any who would sell damsels to dragons.

I think the answer is pretty clear, but then again my career doesn't depend on lobbyists… Wait a second, not even the lobbyists can save them from the apathy of the base!

So I guess it's just out of the magnanimity of their hearts that the blue dogs and Stupak's little god-botherers stand against the socialism and far-leftism of the evil reform bill in the end. Yeah, they'll sure be rewarded for that by people like DaMav or DLS, right?

I think the worrywart democrats have cancer of the soul. There can be no other explanation.
