I am truly tired of hyphenated definitions for citizens of this great country. I believe if we quit using this form of defining anyone, then part of racism would naturally subside. I do not know of any other free country in the world where african-?, asian-?,hispanic-?,etc., is used, do you? I think that defining one another this way only serves to divide and interestingly enough the only ones who use this type of self definition are the very people who love to scream racism. I am a naturalized Irish-American and since the day I was naturalized some 50years ago as a child, I have never used the term Irish-American to be identified. I am an AMERICAN CITIZEN and quite proud of the simple definition. Subject: Racism

Regardless, I would like to see conservatives,moderates, and others join forces with the Republican party and focus on the immediate objective of defeating Obama's radical agenda. During the 2008 presidential election I voted for McCain even though I disagreed with his policies on immigration and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I knew what would happened if Obama was elected and my worst fears have become reality. He wishes to destroy the country socially, economically, and politically and Americans need to join hands and vote against ALL democrats (senators, congressional reps, and governors) in the 2010 elections. Otherwise we will have a one party government and can say goodbye to the America we love and cherish. I actually think Sarah could do a very effective job as head of the RNC.

She is NOT being ignored and that is important. Many expected her to fade away. Yes, she is ridiculed but also praised, by many of all political stripes. I suspect that all the attention stems from the REAL possibility that she could occupy the White House one day. That strikes fear into the hearts of many but, also hope into the hearts of others. What we need right now is a new declaration of independence, not from foreign powers but from the tyranny of big "well meaning" government. 2010 (and 2012) will tell the tale. Let us hope we last until then. The main thing about Sarah Palin is that most everyone has an opinion, rightly or wrongly.

Sarah Palin. The only reason the establishment GOP want her as RNC chair is for the same reason ex- Alaskan Gov. Frank Murkowski appointed her Chair commissioner of the AGOC and that is to put her in a little "box" and hopes she doesn't "make wave", weed out corruption. Which ultimately failed as attested by record in Alaska. Just like she did with the Alaska GOP, she will do the same to beltway establishment GOP. She will reform the party from the inside, weed out the corrupto-crats and return the party back to Reagan principles and eventually the country back to the people. She is destined for great things, being underestimated, unappreciated has always being her strength and I don't believe she would want it any other way. You’re absolutely right about Gov.

That is, benefit from the old school politics they are used to engaging in while raking in the dough with Palin. But they sure as heck don't want her becoming president or gaining the type of power that's necessary to clean out a swamp. I am a Reagan conservative Republican. This is what I want for my party: take a page out of the liberal playbook after 1968. Have conservatives, Tea Party activists and libertarians infiltrate the party and take it over thus returning it to the party of Reagan. Both parties have sludge. Yes, the Democrats way moreso than the Republicans. But sludge is sludge and if it's in our own party, it needs to be cleaned out. They know the only one capable of cleaning it out is Sarah Palin and they are afraid of her because of that. She has a record of doing that in Alaska. It's not their fear that she will ineffective as president because of perceived or planted notions about her not being a policy wonk. That's just political cover. The real reason is what her record in Alaska shows and how effective she really can be - especially when it comes to "weeding" the garden and getting rid of the corruption.

It was the Democrats that blocked African-Americans from entering schools in the South. It was Democrats who used fire hoses to spray protesters during the Civil Rights movement. It was Democrats who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in greater numbers than Republicans. The list goes on and on. Yet, African-Americans overwhelmingly support the Democrat Party without question. "My people perish for lack of knowledge."

Sarah knows where she is going and doesn''t need to be "kicked ipstairs" by the good ol' boys of the GOP who fear her. Regarding Sheila Jackson and her (excuse me) asinine racist comment,all I cansay is "it takes one to know one". I couldn’t agree more with your assessment of Sarah Palin.
