I have complaints and I've stated them. Reading from a teleprompter isn't one of them. Palin reading from her hand is.

Hypocrisy at it's best. You have no reason to favor one over the other, except to favor a certain party.

Can you try and be a little less bias or are you addicted to going a certain way?

Care to retort?

Not likely. Politico told them that Obama can't function without a teleprompter, therefore IT MUST BE TRUE!

It's what they want to believe, so they do. Neat and simple.

Willful blindness and denial pretty much sums up the Tea Party, and the current crop of rightwing ravers...

It's a disease.

Less bias? I am in the center as you can get. I see both sides most of the time without a clue and posturing for whatever power and control they can garner. I look at the facts of what has actually happened to make my decisions. I speculate like everyone else, but I don't let speculations turn into fears or believe they will come true because someone else speculated the same thing. Again, I'm neither right nor left. I voted Bush the first time because I thought and still think Al Gore is a loon. I wanted his ass out the the second time around though. I couldn't decide who I wanted originally in Obama versus McCain and was originally leaning to McCain. However, Palin showed up and I went for Obama.

Anyhow, I go for the leaders I think might actually do the most good in governing America. I don't lean any way because I have ideas/values which are "conservative" and ideas/values which are "liberal." I actually don't use those labels to myself though as I like to think my values are based off logic, rational, and reasoned thought and investigation.

Being of the opinion the President using a teleprompter as a big deal hardly constitutes that opinion as being "bias" or addicted to going a certain way. Get your head out your ass.

We call them tea baggers to not let them hijack the Boston Tea Party for their political symbolism.

Bunch of bullshit, going on and on about Palin and notes on a hand and then going out of the way to give a nod to Obama and a teleprompter?

You people make me sick.

There's a difference between using a teleprompter to give a speech and using it to answer questions. Nobody can expect any President to remember speeches when they could give up to a dozen in any given day.

If you recall Obama did not have a TP or notes during the Q&A at the republican retreat because he knew his shit. Using notes on your hand to answer questions is so 6th grade. Especially since the questions were pre-screened so she should have known the answers in advance. I would expect more from anyone running for Pres.

This is like havbing to explain the difference between weather and climate to global warming deniers.

The people doing the name calling have it twisted. They think calling someone a "teabagger" is an insult. However, a teabagger is a person that performs the act of teabagging. This is a humorous, yet juvenile and immature, act, but it is a position of dominance. The insult would be the person being teabagged; a teabagee?

These are Social Conservatives who are embarrassed even to admit they have "teabags", much less that they would somehow display them...

Tell you what, let's have Obama and Palin debate each other. Obama can use his teleprompter, and Palin can use her hand for notes. Now predict a winner.

I didn't lie and I did answer the question as to why liberals use tea baggers, it's brings douche bags to mind which accurately reflects who those teadouchebagger's are.

Nice generalization ..... all teabaggers are douche bags. You're just as bad as the right wingnuts who call all liberals socialists.
Moonie, I usually enjoy your posts and sometimes learn from them but lately I believe you have gone off the deep edge.
