Do you really think any mainstream Republicrat would have any ground to stand on in this area?

Sure the fringe outsider candidates (Paul, Johnson, and Cain) might have ground to stand on with civil liberties, but anyone strongly associated with the core Republicrat party would have to tread just as lightly as Obama on Civil Liberties if for no other reason than their stance on drug crimes.

This mistake is so omnipresent it's ceasing to be funny. I think we can let Ras slide on this one, it's not like he's an intern at FOX.

Even though any serious analysis would conclude that Obama's death is better for image than substance...

secured his place as the President who brought down Obama...

I just made a post on my lj saying that people need to stick to saying Bin Laden because they keep on making this stupid error, and look what happens.

I'm not even sure how it happens. B and S aren't that close on the keyboard, so it's not just fat-fingering, it's actually thinking of one (presumably) and typing the other. It confuses me.

And this is giving the typo-maker the benefit of the doubt, as I'm sure some people are doing it deliberately. Not here, but elsewhere.

It's really easy actually.

Brain goes faster than the fingers, the two words get confused in your head and when you go back and proofread the two are so close that you don't know the difference.

Better correct that, unless you want an FBI visit.

Yes, but to actually successfully attack him on the Economy you actually have to have better economic ideas than him. To date the arch conservative wing of the Republicrat party is too busy worrying about grandstanding for their base on economic matters to actually have a fiscal plan that they can fight with in a general election.

You can't take tax cuts off the board, You have to actually cut military spending, you can't even mention ridiculous crap like NPR or Planned parenthood funding and you have to be willing to tell your followers that you're gonna touch their medicare.

The Bachman's Gingrich'es and Palins of the world have never been able to do that.

Holy shit

A rational fiscal conservative. I... I thought I was alone on this.

I'm with him too on this, though I tend to identify libertarian.

At least in this neck of the woods, you're not as alone :) But I get the feeling this isn't representative overall.
