A good idea but a pipe dream. You have two political sides, parties (including the Tea Party) and ideologies who once in power, love to spend tax payer money like drunken sailors in Vegas. Welfare social programs or welfare foreign policy programs, entitlement programs for urban and rural areas, spend spend spend is the political actions of both sides while claiming fiscal responsibility. We have such a huge debt to China and most of Asia that the flat tax is a pipe dream. We need to pay our bills first and most American industry knows that a majority of Americans will fight the revenue necessary to do that until it's too late. Americans love to spend but avoid paying their bills like teenagers. Where I live, everybody is complaining about raising taxes AND complaining about state parks closing. How do they expect them to be paid for? The magic funding fairy? Medicare, Social Security, HCR, Cap & Trade, Iran, North Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, national security, medicaid? Americans always have only one hand out at any given moment. Unfortunately, both sides are driving us to a new economic policy that will involve CANAMEX style union with all new currency, lower wages to compete and Socialism.

Consumer A goes into Wal-Mart and is all excited about low costs and savings while paying no attention to the fact that most of all the merchandise is manufactured in foreign countries like China, Malaysia, Guam, Vietnam, Mexico and Guatemala. Consumer A is saving a buck or two and in today's economy, who can blame them. But Consumer A is buying a product that costs China $2.00 to make where as in America, it costs $4.00 to make because Chinese workers have less of a self-entitlement attitude than American workers when it comes to wages so the American company has no choice but to relocate it's operations to foreign soil to manufacture. The American company has to relocate to foreign lands to compete with wages and free enterprise supply and demand economics in our own country at places like Wal-Mart. And Consumer A goes to work the next day and finds himself out of a job because a guy from Malaysia can do it cheaper. So much for his future shopping sprees at Wal-Marts. Now the Obamessiah wants to tax companies that relocate operations to foreign lands without doing anything to eliminate the massive trade deficit and/or debt obligations with China AND will do nothing against companies like Wal-Mart that aggressively give foreign economies an effective and financially lethal platform to under-cut with American industry right here in our own country. Not to mention, the majority of the product's sale principal goes right back to China to help their consumer driven economy, not ours.

Take your extreme liberal crap and go pester your own kind with it.

One bow to Chinese leader equals 6 new Walmarts equals another million in higher taxes equals another 10,000 laid off Americans equals another 10,000 American jobs given to a less self-entitled society like India or Singapore. At least he doesn't have to grab his ankles like we all have to. It never ends.

I'm voting for somebody with a bit more commitment than that. I'm a full truther and see the much bigger picture thank you.

Moocher mentality to feel entitled to taxes and their fair share at the expense of companies that are driving our economy, liberating us from the confines of foreign oil dependency and sending 1000s of workers in that area to live and spend to help stimulate their economy? Taking from the haves and redistributing their wealth to a bunch of have nots?

I prefer privatization over elimination with the exception of a handful of entitlement programs.

The only person they find funnier than Tina Fey is Palin herself. I'd like to see an opponent that is more substance for our country and less of a caricature who boosts ratings for comedians with her antics. Liberals love her and enjoy her stand up routines. Independents think she's an idiot and half the Republicans fear her because the other half sincerely believe America would vote for this caricature.

Iran is driving Iran to war against it's own interests. Jews have nothing to do with Iran's aggressions but will more than likely suffer the consequences from it. Israel has every right to defend it's interests but the question is, can it? Can it without our help especially with every President but one over the past 30 years who cut and run on Israel?

I won't vote for her. She's an idiot, a celebrity and a profiteering Liberal in sheep's clothing and the reason why we have Obama to begin with. I refuse to be stupid enough to make the same mistake twice. Sun, 11 Apr 2010 23:52:19 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2010/04/11/tina-fey-returns-to-snl-to-mock-palin-tea-partiers/#IDComment67329261 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2010/04/11/tina-fey-returns-to-snl-to-mock-palin-tea-partiers/#IDComment67328952 And besides, she taxed energy companies in Alaska to provide dividends to the residents of Alaska. She has an entitlement program mentality for the good of the people at the expense of raising taxes from the industrial class. Can't get much more Liberal than that.

She's quit her job to become a celebrity and we need someone who can get crap done and not another celebrity who hogs all the cameras. That's what we already have now. Sun, 11 Apr 2010 23:46:40 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2010/04/11/tina-fey-returns-to-snl-to-mock-palin-tea-partiers/#IDComment67328620 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2010/04/11/tina-fey-returns-to-snl-to-mock-palin-tea-partiers/#IDComment67328088 Exactly! Thanks to the caricature that is Sarah Palin. We want to make that mistake again? No thanks you. Can't even win a straw poll and getting her political a$$ kicked by the likes of Ron Paul who has a higher approval rating than Palin does. It's the Left that keep Palin popular so she can deliver an Obama second term like she did for the first term. Sun, 11 Apr 2010 23:43:58 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2010/04/11/tina-fey-returns-to-snl-to-mock-palin-tea-partiers/#IDComment67328088 http://bigjournalism.com/mwalsh/2010/04/10/whos-looking-out-for-you-is-the-american-media-corrupt/#IDComment67239859 Left wing lies must be met with truths. There are those that will eventually believe in one or the other and those in the category of uncertain must decide which is true. In order for them in the middle to see the truth, we must engage even more so with meeting Left wing lies with honesty, accuracy and most importantly...repetition. We must engage the enemy's character as being of low morality, low honesty and being an enemy of our state so that those with reservations about what needs to be believed know that anything said and/or reported upon by this individual should automatically be assumed to be false based on the person's poor character. Sun, 11 Apr 2010 10:37:32 +0000 http://bigjournalism.com/mwalsh/2010/04/10/whos-looking-out-for-you-is-the-american-media-corrupt/#IDComment67239859 http://bigjournalism.com/bshapiro/2010/04/10/california-dreamin-rachel-maddow-and-gov-moonbeam-cover-up-the-real-acorn-scandal/#IDComment67234483 This is ridiculous. Why are we defending what has been done to ACORN over cops being called and costumes? Who cares. So what if the cops were called, did they step up and make any kind of public press conference to defend ACORN with the truth? No they did not. Why? They didn't care. We now see video where O'Keefe lied about wearing a pimp costume. Do you see that video being broadcast on any of the MSM outlets? No. Why? They don't care either. We saw video on Fox where Giles and O'Keefe may have taken creative liberties with certain truths with facts about these videos. Do you see this being pointed out on any MSM outlets? No. Why? Nobody cares. Mr. Finch, ACORN had to go and everybody knew it which is why nobody, and I mean NOBODY came to the defense of ACORN. The truth is what we made of it and what we made of it was necessary. Sun, 11 Apr 2010 09:37:03 +0000 http://bigjournalism.com/bshapiro/2010/04/10/california-dreamin-rachel-maddow-and-gov-moonbeam-cover-up-the-real-acorn-scandal/#IDComment67234483 http://bigjournalism.com/bshapiro/2010/04/10/california-dreamin-rachel-maddow-and-gov-moonbeam-cover-up-the-real-acorn-scandal/#IDComment67230233 But Mr. Geezer, ACORN has been shut down. Game over, we win. The Liberal MSM was alleged to have defended ACORN but didn't until it was too late and ACORN was no more. Maddow, DailyKos, HuffPo only recently started to defend ACORN after they went under and broke apart. Too little, too late on behalf of Liberal media wouldn't you think? The establishment class and their effective collective have no interest in handing over any of their earned entitlements to the likes of ACORN whether it be Liberal or Conservative. A threat was recognized and effectively eliminated and the leaders reputation's tarnished to the point where Burger King probably won't hire them. We must always protect what is ours from those who believe they are entitled because of organizations like ACORN.

Mark Walbergh is funny as heck in it. It simply doesn't change the fact that the half-term governor and television celebrity Sarah Palin, is nothing more than a punchline that makes people like Tina Fey and SNL hugely successful and continues to give them a much larger following than Palin can get for $100,000 a shot. If we are to truly be prepared for a 2012 take back of our highest level of government than we need a much less caricature celebrity and a much more determined representative that can win over the hearts and minds of voters and not charge them $100k to do it. We need to take 2012 much more serious and having a greedy dial-a-joke celebrity like Palin is not the answer. We need a representative the whole collective can truly be effective for and have confidence in. Sun, 11 Apr 2010 08:39:13 +0000 http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/bighollywood/2010/04/11/tina-fey-returns-to-snl-to-mock-palin-tea-partiers/#IDComment67229604 http://bigjournalism.com/sright/2010/04/09/in-exposing-acorn-lies-maddow-leaves-truth-on-the-cutting-room-floor/#IDComment67225687 This is truly irrelevant. We must never defend ourselves if victory has already been achieved. This is no time for guilt or placating to media personalities like Rachel Maddow who waited til AFTER the fall of ACORN to decide to defend them. Voting and elections should be left up to the ruling class. We won. Game over. Our justice is now needed elsewhere when it comes to defending our ruling class from the whimsical dreams of our current leaders and their fantasies of "hope". People can "hope" all they want but can never be allowed to take away that which belongs to the controlling majority class. Sun, 11 Apr 2010 08:03:57 +0000 http://bigjournalism.com/sright/2010/04/09/in-exposing-acorn-lies-maddow-leaves-truth-on-the-cutting-room-floor/#IDComment67225687 http://bigjournalism.com/pgeller/2010/04/10/msm-american-jews-looks-the-other-way-as-obama-wages-diplomatic-jihad-against-israel/#IDComment67224773 This is strange indeed but "Oh Snap" to you Missy! Great one liner! We have a Mainstream Media mainly controlled by those of a Jewish faith being negligent in their coverage of Israel's situation with respect to Iranian threats. In order to "correct" collectively the more Liberal stance of our mainstream media, we must carefully divide ourselves from anti-liberal and anti-Semitic since the Liberal control of the mainstream media is also controlled by Jews. So in essence, how do we defend the Jews from the persecution we are committing against their living and/or agenda with control of our media? A more aggressive stance against Iran is definitely called for but is it the responsibility of those who control the avenue to which they themselves can be more aggressive since it is THEIR media?

They are done and with their leaders reputations being damaged to the point where any future affiliations will bring further scrutiny and character damage. The media had very little interest in effectively defending ACORN until it was too late so we should appreciate the "establishment" didn't care for them any more than we did. Voting should be left to the ruling class. Great job O'Keefe and Giles. You are heroes to your platform.
