5. yeah, thats the old news.

I'm waiting for the next request from the GOP for Obama and co to make happen.

4. Palin also wants to nuke people.

Hard to take her seriously as an intelligent politician. But she's been quoted here as such.

6. just shows you

President Obama tries to make some, at least he thinks, reasonable concessions on nuclear power and offshore drilling and what does he get from Caribou Barbie. 'No, no ya don't understand we want more nuclear and more drilling than that socialist-communist-nazi Obama!'. Again if you move towards the right wings position they will just move further to the right. They want it all and they want it now no compromises. To them all compromise is is getting the 'other side' to move in their direction.
