Earlier this week, Sarah Palin snubbed fellow Republicans when she told them she couldn't come to their annual retreat in Hot Springs, Virginia because she had important state business to attend to in Alaska.

3. That's why Republicans are so angry

I guess. They know they're in a shambles and they don't understand why and so they're spewing anger every where. I've even been called a "broad" by one of my readers on an article. I got a big kick out of that. I guess the guy thought he was Mickey Spillane.

4. right - that same old bile from the past 8 years worked for them then

it should work now. At least that's the thought. Cut taxes. No big gov etc. Same old crap.

Just this time not as many are listening. The majority wants something new - something that has a prayer of a chance of working.

5. I've got a brilliant idea

we should get everyone we know to call into the Rush limbaugh show and tell him we think Joe the P should be vice-presidential running mate for Sarah P in 2012.
