This Palin video is too well produced for someone who doesn’t want people to think she’s at least thinking about running for president.
This thank you to Iowa video is complete with cheery music and laudatory press statements, including what could be seen as a subtle shot at Michele Bachmann on security. She includes Don Lemon from CNN, who got into a tussle with Bachmann’s security team, lauding the access he had to Palin’s team and that she answered all of his questions.
And, of course, it’s hard to ignore that growling bear at the end as she promotes a Sept. 3rd rally in Iowa.


Of course Palin wants you to think she's running!
She's narcisstict idiot who's 15 minutes of fame expired back when she quit her Governors job!
The MSM just hasn't caught up yet!
BTW: Any word on Granny Grizzley's new addition to the family?
Is it just me or does it appear every time her & the first 'dud' hit the road they come home to another abstinence only grand-kid! lol
Palin/Perry 2012
Sadly her 'fame' didn't expire,...just her political future. She will milk and bilk the stale, pale and male crowd for oodles of cash, though. And apparently half witted women everywhere will continue to 'admire her'.
No accounting for taste, really. Sad, though.
Yep, the grandbaby count does seem proportional to her 'road trips'. Funny how that latch key is only bad for minorities, eh?
Right Clara? lol
That abstinence only thingy is working out SO well in the Palin double wide...
Only question left it is Willow or Piper who get's knocked up first?
Perry/Palin 2012: Dumb and Dumberer.
Real soon its gonna be time for Sarah Palin to either poop or get off the pot.
With 50 state election boards requiring signatures to get on the primary ballots, she's gotta make a decision soon. I know as a publicity hound, she can't resist the camera's, but if she does not run, the Lame-stream-media (as she calls it) will leave her in the dust standing next to HER bus.
Palin/Perry 2012
leave her in the dust standing next to HER bus...
The bus that is listing to the right with blown out tires and out of gas!
chilled:
If she goes any further to the right, she'll become a neo-democrat. :)
Clara and Feisty,
You put the Women's Right Movement back years with your ignorant comments.
We should be ready to fight when we see women being treated differently, unjustly and being mistreated based on their gender or political difference. Now however, when it is conservative women being insulted you jump on the bandwagon with glee.
You are nothing more than sexually-repressed widows, bitter spinsters and you wear the badge proudly. Your behavior is the very definition of hypocrisy.
Hey if the bus is a rockin - don't go knockin...
Her & the first dud are trying to expand their litter!
Sorry TT - I will never defend a ignorant, narcissist, hillbilly who's ONLY claim to fame is picking the pockets of the poor & quitting the job she was elected to be able to do so!
Sounds like you could use some Preparation H dear!
thetotas, you're kidding, right?
Sarah is her own worst enemy. She is so daft that even the air in her empty head laughs at her.
.
PALIN knows she isn't going to be President, this is her employment now. This is how she makes money and sadly their are folks who pay her for basically nothing but Political Buzzwords and the occasional Ah Shucks, Gee Golly reference.
At the end of the day she quit her job, before completing her comittment to the public, in order to do her TMZ Tour..
You betcha I'm not running for president!
In September I'm going to endorse Perry, jump into my little cheer leader outfit, and stand by my man!...as his vp candidate, of course!
thetotas:
It is Sarah Palin herself who sets women back. It is Sarah Palin who would strip away the privacy rights of women. It is she who quits. It is she who does not know her history. It is she who trumpets traditional family values even as she abandons her family. It is she who trashes the Christian precepts she professes to honor.
She wallows in ignorance as do her sycophants. Worse, she and her followers are are proud of their ignorance. Pathetic.
And yet she is a women in position to run for US President.
Cant be all that daft.
Hell, if that's the criteria you're basing it on - even YOU could run...
You're history has proven you're beyond daft!
Run Sara Run! Looking forward to voting for her.
Palin would make a great President compared to obama! She is strong, he is weak, she has proven leadership ability, he has failed miserably as a leader, she gets the job done, he is on vacation, she is a fiscal conservative, he is a spending fool, she isn't afraid of Harry Reid, he owes Harry! feisty hates her because of her strength and common sense, feisty is obsessed with him, despite his record..... 'nuff said, eh?
Theotas - Your last comment makes perfectly clear who is the sexist in this discussion. You might want to deal with your own issues before attacking others for theirs. I don't dislike Palin because she's a woman. I dislike who for who she is, same as I do Perry.
Feisty,
I know I know, yada,yada, yada.
We all have a history, right feisty? Do you want to talk about your history?
Pride and Joy,
Feisty is the queen of mean, and is very proud of her title, go figure the women does not have a life. She is here 24/7, no kidding.
Rick,
How does my comment sound sexist? Please explain.
thetotas, ignore feisty redwig.... she's like the weird Uncle we all have at family gatherings.... you know the guy... he's always the one talking about how bad his hemroids are while the rest of the family rolls their eyes, eventually he nods off for a nap. Feisty redwig is just the same, except FR is her family gathering as she doesn't seem to have anything else going on in her life. But here she has several enablers that that encourage her silly comments! We all get a laugh on move on... but not redwig. Maybe after the 2012 election she too will take a nap! I for one enjoy her wacko comments, you betcha!
Thanks Sally,
I do my best, but at times when she crosses the line, I will call her out, each and every time. I cannot and will not look the other way. I dont like bullies, and I especially dont like the ones that hide behind their computers. It easy to be an a@@, safe in their homes, but not so much face to face.
In Todd Palins own words:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#44210468
thetotas
You are being sexist because you think she should be treated differently because she is a woman. You think her ideas should not be attacked. Yes the entire point of political discourse is debate, and you do not have to respect hateful, ignorant and hypocritical positions. And that is all Palin has.
You dismissing the female posters in here with the terms you used denigrated them based on their sex":
Then you said you hate bullies:
But you used personal attacks and bullied Feisty. That makes you a Hypocrite. And I did not see you post your real name and contact info, so to talk about 'hiding behind their computers' and calling her an 'A@@' is a bit disingenuous.
She is in a position to run, as is every US Citizen born here over the age of 35 (Remember Pat Paulson actually ran and got 12,000 votes). Doesn't mean they deserve consideration, respect or attention. Of course Pat was funny. Palin is simply a no-longer-relavent quitter who panders to the Tea Base to sell books, speeches and get contributions to her Pac to keep her staff paid. The moment she is not running, she will cease to have that attention, and her value as media fodder will fade as the real campaign begins (and begins way too early)
Only because John McCain didn't vet her.
Maybe its Todd doin' all the knockin' - tryin' to keep that gene pool reel tight.
ORB 1943
Maybe its Todd doin' all the knockin' - tryin' to keep that gene pool reel tight.
ORB:
On the money~Why do you think that "First Grand-Dude" is a tard?
Now you did it Frankytrue...
You went and called her out & we won't see her again...
Well, until she drops by to peep at how many votes she got! lol
For someone who claims to despise me so, little Miss Totas can't seem to stop trolling me...
PS: Ditto for sally...
Sally you were wrong about fiesty, she's like the uncle that has already had a few adult beverages before the party and falls asleep during dinner. To debate her without her insults you have to catch her very early in the morning.... any later than that she's worse than bat @!$%#! And then it's best to ignore her like we do the emabarrasing uncle!
Why, in the name of God, can't this woman just disappear? She's like a spoiled kid who has to be the center of attention. The bully in the school yard. Pathetic.
The world is finally loosing Kate Gosslin, maybe we will be fortunate enough for Palin to take the same road.
Like all children who misbehave, sometimes you just have to ignore the tantrum.
jburns, you must be talking about feisty redwig!
Someone turned on the lights and all the little cockroaches scurry...
Isn't THAT special...
lmao! feisty (feisty?) you are funny, but not the way you think you are.... :)
akgirl....i saw that on Rachel's show Friday and I could not believe Todd actually told truth. After Sarah's big incoherent speech at the lake about why she quit, the truth comes out years and a few millions of dollars later. Did her teaparty fans see that interview? Of course not cause it was on MSNBC with that "dike lady" they would say. Sarah still has her "donate" website out so her adoring fans can pay her and family to gallop around the states lying about running for President. Now she uses the media to make a video portraying them like they are so happy and acknowledging her potential of being POTUS. ...GIVE ME A BREAK!! After they see that they were used in her video maybe that will not cover her at her next party crash. Thank you if they do, it could not come soon enough.
Totas,
In what way has gender played a part in how Palin is treated, specifically by Fiesty? I saw comments that spoke to Palin's hypocrisy, but nothing that could be called sexist. What's sexist is backing a candidate just because they are the same gender as you.
Palin has an anti-female agenda. She's every machismo "pig's" wet dream. A good looking female, that wants to limit the privacy rights of women, set contraceptive use back 40 years, narrow the definition of rape, and basically end all funds to programs that primarily help poverty stricken women, thereby decreasing the power of females in our society. I would say SUPPORTING Palin is sexist. Not because of her gender, or your gender, or my gender, but because of her stance on these things.
What else is sexist??? Using gender based stereotypes like "old bitter widow". What, a female doesn't like a female candidate so that must mean there's something wrong with her femininity?
Sexism will end when we cease to see gender. The opposite of that is being degraded for NOT using it blindly to tell us who we should support. Just like you did to Fiesty.
So in my typical non-"pc" way, I will tell you what I tell all females who've drank the neo-con, TP, cool aid...
Get your head out of your a*($% and grow a set. (And yes, I know the testicular reference I just made was hypocritical and gender based. That's the joke, here.)
Hey Feisty--a sure recipe for failure!
"We have met the enemy and he is us!" Pogo by Walt Kelly
Just like her moose stew & salmon clubbing... lol
Time for some *popcorn* - here you go nurse!
I would like to tape a Salmon to her face and let her see what a "mama bear" can do.
Uh oh...a Palin story!
Which member of the Troika do we hear from first...Spanky, Smiffy or "No Joe"?
Smiffy wins...4:01 PM
 if clicks = $$$ bet FR/FT loves mentioning palin, bachman or now perry. lmao! wonder how fast the number of posts hit over 500?
Takes the Lefty Losers minds off the Obama Stock Market Crash. Down another 170 or so today. Thanks Obama, enjoy your vacation.
JoAnnaSmith...It is going to take years to clean up the monstrous Turds left by your conservative poltroons.....Riddle me this? Just who ARE YOU Supporting to run against this President? Just askin!
It got your attention, didn't it?
What ever TY. Your side had all the answers back on 2009. Had that recession all figured out. A little stimulus, a little HCR, and this Leading From Behind stuff was looking to be a snap. Look at the trouble Obama has caused though TY. Quite a mess.
Anyone that shows up. And yes, Obama is that bad.
You're supporting him though, correct? What are you so happy with him about?
"JoAnnaSmith...It is going to take years to clean up the monstrous Turds left by your conservative poltroons.....Riddle me this? Just who ARE YOU Supporting to run against this President? Just askin!"
Good question, Torpedo. Also need to add after 'just askin''; 'and why'.
I suppose we won't find out, though....
"What are you so happy with him about?"
Uh- he didn't subscribe to an oath other than the one to ALL the American People??
Your turn.
It seems as if many republicans rate Obama's ability to affect the world as a close second behind Jesus Christ. You people (you know who you are) claim that democrats have a blind faith in Obama, Ha you believe he has superhuman control of the world, and are disappointed in him every time the republican house proves he does not. The legislature collects and spends the money, enacts trade laws, gives out entitlements, creates tax laws, is responsible for the budget, ect, ect, not the executive branch. Republicans have to stop believing in Obama as a messiah, that have to stop looking to him to personally be their savior, republicans should stop worshiping him in that way, he is just a man. BTW since there has been a lot of religion in the threads lately, so I might add that it is also a sin for a Christian to attribute God like powers and worship anybody as a false God. Republican worship and elevation to God like status of our president is downright sinful.
JoAnna is Obama responsible for the debt situation in Europe? No? Well that is what caused the drops recently. See business is international, and what is going on in the entire world is what causes Market Fluctuation. Shocker for you....Of the top 30 companies almost all of them get much more than half their sales overseas. Was Obama responsible for the failure of HPs Pad Computer? No? Well that was a significant factor in the market.
Wake up.
Frankly,
If they can't grasp the concept of lacking revenue and unfunded wars that last 10+ years (while simulataneously lowering the tax rate), and the effects of these things on our economy... I really don't think they're ready for economics on a global scale. I shudder to think what would happen if we tried to tell them about Wall Street deregulation, dervitives trading, sub-prime mortgages and the long term consequences of these things. Or how this mess has been coming since the 80's. Or the Dodd-Frank bill and how Republicans are trying to kill it. Or how Uber-wealthy people don't use these tax breaks to create jobs, but rather that money goes into high risk markets and holding companies.
No, I don't think they could even grasp that the U.S. could not spend another penny for the rest of it's existance and would STILL never get out of debt, because with the revenues coming in now, we can't even make interest payments.
They couldn't understand these things, not because they aren't intelligent enough, but because they are the TRUTH. And lately, it seems like the right "Can't handle the truth." (Sorry for the cheesy movie quote, but I just had to).
We wouldn't want their heads to explode, now would we?
I wish Bloody Sarah would run... Run for the Border with the Russia she can see so plainly!
She can go there and prospect for yellow snow.
Hey, nice bus! Wonder who paid for it?
Maybe you should check where it was made?
And here's Smiffy with the bus ticket and Mamma Grizzly droppings.
Yes- that's a 'stremely nice bus. Wonder if Perry approves of it? Also wonder if her daughter will complain that people that it attracts will whine about having the 'vacation' spoiled?
Jody got high sniffing the fumes of Obama's Uber-Bus as she chased it around Iowa. Or was it the Grizzly droppings?
Yes- that's a 'stremely nice bus. Mind if I throw you under it!
You can ask the Rep nominee, they get one too.
They get one also. The purpose is for enhanced Secret Service protection for presidents and presidential candidates.
Bus built in Tennessee, despite TeaRep lies about Canada.
In plans for years, Contract awarded over a year ago, THat after the RFP was given out and responded to,that after the project was given Specifications, That after it was proposed, This goes back quite a number of years. And it is a project of the Secret Service.
Minngirl is only partially correct, it is also for use when transporting political figures besides the President. And it can go places Jets cannot. But as I have said before, TeaReps will only be happy if Obama drives himself in a used Chevy Chevette, Stays in Days Inn and eats at Gas stations.
No matter that Bush took THREE Times the number of vacation days in his first year, took many more trips to his ranch. Obama goes to Hawaii where his family resides once a year, you scream. Bush goes to where his family resides over 40 times, you say nothing.
franklytrue,
Tea Party lies? Who was that? The bus was hardly mention in the news, and I didn't see any interviews about were it was it build. Can you give me a link?
Here ya go...
abcnews.go.com/Politics/obama-tour-bus-made-america/story?id=14324892
Palin's fan base must be slipping and she needs donations so time to throw out another "real American" video to remind people "I'm still here...you hoo, over here and don't forget to come see me Sep 3."
September 3rd? Darn, isn't that when Obama tells us about his Great Jobs Program? Palin will get more coverage, and make more sense.
About as much sense as you make on this board.
TorpedoYou, you got that right! Palin talks in circles and says nothing. Last I checked, Labor Day is September 5 and Congress won't be back until after.
Smiffy:
[Palin will get more coverage, and make more sense.]
So, why isn't she running?
Maybe you could write her a note...or buy her book...which you probably did.
But hey, the local Borders Bookstore couldn't GIVE them away...got it? The employees were standing on the sidewalk in front of the store BEGGING people to "please, TAKE A BOOK FOR GOD'S SAKE!"
I don't know who it was more humiliating for...Palin or those poor bookstore employees...
I know I been slow this week, but Obama is going to announce a Jobs program right around LABOR DAY ? OMG, how coincidental is that!!! The President of the United States is going to make a speech on a day dedicated to American workers and use it to put forth a plan to *gasp* get people working!!!
Now, if only are TeaPublican friends would come up with competing programs, then we could have a real debate. But, as evidenced by JoAnnaSmith1, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Michelle Bachman, Rick Parry and even Mitt Romney, I'm sure all we will see is denigration of the plan. There will be no competing plan to get people to work.
The TeaPublican party really does believe that if we lower the tax rates, there will be more employment. Well I don't want to spoil their delusions, but the rich stopped being US job makers in 1976, when Ronald Reagan was elected. Maybe the TeaPublicans think they'll really get a job as a unicorn trainer if they just wish hard enough and cut taxes enough.
Jody,
Let's not forget how well her movie did. None of the Pailn supporters here want to talk about that do they?
September 3rd? Darn, isn't that when Obama tells us about his Great Jobs Program? Palin will get more coverage, and make more sense - JAS1
Excuse me - show me where she has ever made sense. Seriously, I want to know.
Palin will get more coverage, and make more sense.
Don't you mean that Palin will get more coverage and also too she will make more sense! Winky wink you Bectcha!
Bryan
She had a movie? Really?
Never heard about it...guess nobody did.
Was is a comedy? Or a horror movie.
Both, it is a comedy of horrors it is kind of like the Bride of FrankenMcCain meets Abbot and Costtello.
Palin Pooh is only hanging around to get more secret Republican non-profit corporate money for making speeches. Then, after the GOP nomination is decided, she'll jump on HIS bandwagon looking for an appointment to a cabinet postion. She fools NO ONE! What would she do without GOP Corp dinero?
I very much agree with you. She is making her money for her outlandish entertainment value and no content. Perry, on the other, has made millions by selling the public interest to the highest bidder. He received $100,000 to allow a buddy to bring nuclear waste into Texas and the story goes on and on. Texas gets nuclear waste, he gets cash, his coorporate buddy gets $2,000,000 in profits. I feel sorry for Romney. He's got to be thinking, " I've paid much more than that for buy off a politician for $2,000,000,000 in proflits".
No black people anywhere, but they don't want to be thought of as "racist".
What ARE people of color supposed to think about that?
You mean like this?

And Maxine is not happy about it:
http://swampland.time.com/2011/08/19/maxine-waters-wants-blacks-back-in-the-conversation/
I don't think black people care for Palin because she is a self proclaimed Hockey Mom, black people don't like hockey. They just can't seem to get excited about a game played with a bunch of white guys wearing masks, and carrying sticks.
That's really funny, Forest!
Guess Iowa doesn't have many, if any black people that support Teapublicans!....
There are about as many black tea party members as there are black NHL players!
GREAT LINK JOANNASMITH1...wish I could vote for your comment twice!
JAS1: thanks for the link. I guess with all those smiling faces, most of the children don't notice that President Obama is black. Many smaller communities never get the chance to meet the President of the United States. Most Americans never get the chance to shake his hand or see him smile, up close.
If you ever get the opportunity, don't let your personal politics get in the way. I had the chance to meet President George H.W. Bush. I will never forget the experience. You can be sure that each and every one of the children will remember the day "when the President of the United States came to visit and sat down right there and talked with us." Whether you agree with the politics of the man or not, you won't ever regret meeting the President of the United States.
You wouldn't forget meeting Satan, either.
Jimee, for shame.
Satan always has time to meet with me personally. Just don't go drinking with him.
I met Satan once...he looked a lot like George Bush 2.
Well I am off to do my Wiccan Dance around the Earth Mother tree with toe bells
 Maybe Don Lemmon got special treatment because he did not give Joe McGinniss a interview after Gov. Palin felt stalked by him. That lead directly to a PA. father and son being arrested by the FBI for threatening the Palin family. NBC did give Mr. McGinniss a interview. If Matt Lauer had been a little harder on McGinniss maybe her stalker would not have felt comfortble threatening the Palin family. NBC lectured Ms. Palin for using crosshairs, even thought Democrats have done the same. Words have meaning you lectured her. So do actions. and Joe McGinniss's actions have lead to father and son being charged.
Why do people want to believe Palin is relevant? She is not. If she wishes to run, so it wont go any where. It doesn't matter how many GOP parties she crashes.
She works hard for the money, so hard for the money, so you better treat her right, - Sarah's new theme song.
Does anyone cares if she runs or not. We Obama team would love for her to run, but that is a good and perfect gift and not likely to happen for us, who is supporting Obama all the way. Such a waste talking about Sarah Palin a has been and a kindergarden student. Sarah needs the money she is earning, so no she is not running for anything except to the bank to deposit her monthly check from FOX News.
JAS1 is nothing but a bimbo whore for lies who never has anything productive to add here....all she does is spew hate lies and nonsense just to rattle the senses. She is like that annoying fly you keep swatting at and can never kill, when the answer has been to just walk a few feet away from it. Buzz buzz BUUZZZZ away little JAS1 fly!
All she does is spread hate...
And where does that rate on your hate scale?
Seriously, look into the mirror and ask yourself if you are not preaching about yourself as well. You can't denounce someones hate while spreading your own.
I don't agree with anything she says, but that doesn't give me the right to call someone a whore because I do not agree with them. I guess agreeing to disagree is not in your playbook?
I spent 23 years defending peoples rights to be able to speak their minds. I am not about to stop now. Shame on all those that voted up someone calling another poster a bimbo whore because you don't agree with what they type.
NYMike, I couldn't agree more. If the trolling of a particular poster gets to you, "ignore" them. I don't agree with most of JAS1's opinions, but she (usually) does not stoop to name calling.
Name calling does not advance the discussion, it just lowers the opinions others have of you.
You should also not do name calling of the various politicians. You may have an opinion that the President is crazy, nuts, out of touch, ineffective, etc., but please don't use pejoratives. Whether you voted for him or not, he IS still the President and deserves respect. You may ridicule the actions, but please don't ridicule the person.
How do you not ridicule those that think facts don't matter? How do you not ridicule those that kill wildlife from Helicopters for sport? How do you not ridicule politicians who do not know American history? How do you not ridicule those who spew hate and ignorance yet profess love and understanding?
Palin's not running - She's filling her pocketbook with more cash!
"Palin Wants You to Think She's Thinking".......
They could have stopped right there with the title.
I love how they used a fish-eye lens on the camara to make her look like the center of the universe. (Bet she loved that too.)
I've got to figure she is like a massive car wreck. You want to look away but you just can't. I just wish the press would stop feeding her ego and let her fade away to oblivion.
It is like a massive car wreck where they will need the jaws of life to pull to pull her head out of her butt.
Joanna,get a brain and do yourself a favor read some books make sure they are history books.
I think Smiff smells something very bad coming the GOP's way once Obama gets back from vacation.
I took a look at the 'optics' thread, and she's worked overtime there to bitch and yowl about anything Obama. She's a lot like Fox and Hannity that way- Smells it coming, and tries to misdirect and pre-empt like a wild person on fire, running from a swarm of hornets or something. Or a sore loser. Something like that....
Well you can see it a mile away, Rick Perry reminds people so much of George Bush he gives Democrats, Independents and many Republicans the creeps.
"Palin wants you to think she’s thinking about running....."
She's probably at a loss of words for why 1) the media no longer care about her, and 2) why no one else does, either.
Palin who?
Have you noticed any time a news outlet covers Palin straight with nt bias NBC trys to intimidate that organization? Joe Scarborough did it to a Washington Post writer, and Lawence O'Donnell did the same to Newsweek.
What the Wasillabilly is doing is the political equivalent of spreading her legs for money
I think you have her confused with Bristol!
I'm still waiting for just one tea bagger to tell me what she's done to earn her money other then what you mentioned and sh!tty dancing! ;o)
Ms. Palin, go crawl into a hole somewhere already!!!
Any person who takes this or any election serious does not take this side show freak seriously. She needs to come back to reality and realize that she is a half term governor that is in no way shape or form qualified to hold the office of President besides is more than clear she know she does not have any interest in doing that job. Her number on interest is making as much money as she can and get as much as she can for free buy stirring up the extremist and fiscal terrorists. She knows and many of us know the truth about Mrs. Palin that she's taking advantage of the American democratic process and for what nothing more than a buck.
Palin was a political hail mary pass that didnt work. Just what we need someone who quits her term half way thru, hires a ghost writer to write her autobiography and is just milking the system for all its worth.
The sad part is she's about 15 mil richer and america just got a whole lot dumber
Palin is not running but she needs to be in the limelight of the lame stream media. What do they call that?...Media-ho?
The media continues to give her a headline. Shame on the media. Is this a case of pimp my ride?
acrawmer: there are just too many funny lines in response..... "Pimp my ride" or ride my....
Not to mention she's making a fortune writing books, making appearances and spouting off 1-liners. Besides, if she ran then she'd have to talk to people in the media other than Fox who may ask her questions about her positions...like when Piers Morgan asked O'Donnell about gay marriage or when Katie Couric asked her what she likes to read.
earl that question is so unfair....
What do you read?
I mean it is so incorrect to ask that of a illiterate like Palin.
Well I am off to the Salad Bar...I walked by earlier and I can see Russian Dressing...
The hours of unadulterated laughter I have had thanks to her providing fodder for the likes of Stewart, Colbert, O'Brien et. al. Almost, ALMOST, make up for the IQ points our country has lost.
