Stand Up Notes From Flyover Country: Sarah Palin is Dangerous
by Jeffrey JenaSome days it’s tough to find things to write about and other days the floodgates open and there are just tons of people begging for a little mocking. Last night I was in a hotel in Fort Lauderdale searching for something to write about and finally gave up and watched the Bears drop another game. I went to sleep fearing the bleakness of the next day. Then this morning the morons started jumping out of the trees. Two great ideas just showed up.
The first was right there in the USA Today outside my room door. Seems the ultra-liberal mayor of Mexico City is cleaning up the town. No, he’s not stopping the rampant drug trade, chasing down murderers or the organized kidnapping rings. Mayor Marcelo Ebrard is hellbent on putting an end to whistling at women on the streets and gum chewers who spit their gum on the sidewalk! I say “bravo” Mr. Mayor. There is no insult greater than being whistled at by a construction worker while being bundled into the trunk of a kidnapper’s car. Woe unto you if while you were kicking around in there some was gum on the bottom of your shoe!
The story says the mayor has developed “10 Commandments of Urban Conduct.” I tried in vain to find a complete listing of the other hard hitting rules the Mayor has put in place. I couldn’t find all the commandments but this guy means business! According to the same story, he has already cracked down or some of the most vicious types around Mexico City; bar smokers, street vendors and those animals who use non-biodegradable bags at the grocery!
The second came in my e mail. A friend forwarded me a letter from a nice fellow named Mitch Stewart. Mitch is the director of a group of Obamites known as Organizing for America. He’s a career political operative turned community organizer for the former community organizer. This is a little peak into how governments create and “save” jobs. Maybe some future stimulus dollars will create a new PAC that raises money for Organizing for America and we can have a community organizer raising money for a community organizer who is raising money for the former community organizer. Soon one in every four Americans can be a fundraising community organizer! It takes so little training and you can work while you are standing in the government health-care line.
Please excuse my digression; let’s get back to the point. The email, which is basically a fear mongering fund raising letter, has a lie in every line but I just want to highlight one of them. In this e mail, which comes under the imprimatur of BarackObama.com Mitch says this:
Sarah Palin is on a highly publicized, nationwide book tour, attacking President Obama and his plan for health reform at every turn. It’s dangerous.
There are three lies right in that one sentence. There are so many things I could pick apart there but let’s start with the most obvious: “It’s dangerous.” Really, Mitch? A conservative woman who disagrees with the President on a book tour is a danger to you? Don’t worry that Iran is about to go nuclear, the President can’t pick an option in Afghanistan, and we are setting moronic legal precedents in dealing with terrorists. Better get the FBI on Sarah Palin tout suite, she may be forming some evil cabal with Ann Coulter and Michelle Bachmann to overthrow the mathematics used by the New York Times bestseller list. Maybe you guys could create some more jobs building a robot? Warning, Will Robinson! Danger! Danger!
You lefties need to make up your mind about Mrs. Palin. Is she a complete moron who got elected Governor of Alaska by some fluke because look at her she can hardly tie her own shoes and her book is awful … or is she Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and David Koresh all rolled into one in drag?

Liberals are cowards. Sarah is dangerous to them because truth is dangerous to them. Their whole industry is based on deceit. "Why don't we dump 'em, people, to the bottom of the sea" – Ronnie Van Zant
The more they hate her, the more I like her.
Of course Sarah Palin is dangerous to the Left. She's of the People.
[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Big Hollywood, Michael Chavez, DNC DUDES, Big Tweeting, Mr. Pink and others. Mr. Pink said: Stand Up Notes From Flyover Country: Sarah Palin is Dangerous http://tinyurl.com/yan6r4l [...]
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
George Orwell
Lady Sarah of Wasilla dangerous?…
as she would say- 'you betcha'! Funny how a one term Governor of Alaska, a housewife with five kids- including a special needs child- and a husband who works the North Slope would terrify the educated elite like no one we have ever seen.
Not George W Bush. No, they just mocked him. Reagan? there was some fear there- but he was just a dotty old actor, right?
But Ms Palin is a different breed altogether. Forget what the nabobs say. She is smart, capable, determined- has done more in her 44 years than any ten of these 'Hah- vard' types do in a lifetime- and is just smokin' hot to boot.
We suspect it is the latter- her sheer physical presence- when coupled with her populist appeal that gives them the shakes.
After all, didn't Germaine Greer, the Grande Dame of feminists say on the eve of her announcement as VP:
"Sarah Palin poses an existential theat to feminism"
She had been in the public arena for all of 24 hours…
Shes dangerous alright!!…….to the liberals.
Gee Mitch aren't you the smart one! You better head for Canada in case the big bully Sarah Palin reveals what a bunch of weenies you and the rest of your bunch truly are. A dangerous book tour. Ooooh, scary.
I believe the danger is your whack ideology being exposed for what it is: Whack. Scary because you might need to find a new job without Barack boots to lick. America woke up to the lie Mitch. Mrs. Palin is only helping folks sing the tune… the song of truth. Oh, and making a bunch of money at the same time!
They don't know any other way of describing her. She's been made their enemy, no matter what she does from here on out. But I think it's more that she is a symbol for what this country (the bulk of it at least) is looking for. The Left has taken the graduate course of Symbolism Over Substance, and when Palin comes along actually representing what she symbolizes, they have no clue how to effectively counteract the following she gets from being truthful, other than to hurl invectives.
Hot, intelligent, conservative gal, who knows how to shoot a gun.
I need moment alone.
Please! Run her in 2012! She'll bury your party for a generation. Can't think of a better fate for someone who hasn't read her own book – so enjoy your 'rock star'. Too bad she can't sing…
She is more like a 2/3 term governor…didn't she quit with 18 months to go on her term? Just sayin.
And you know this HOW, guv'ner?
it is a talking point-
but it does have some legitimacy. Our take:
1) She was beseiged with frivolous lawsuits over 'ethics violations'
2) These were costing her- and the Alaskan taxpayers- money
3) It impeded her job as Governor
4) Her lt gov is an ideological soulmate
5) She needed to get 'out' of Alaska
6) She needed to fund her operational base
Make sense?
it's called 'whistling past the graveyard'…
The ticket Obama wants is a moderate east cost Republican 'lite'. A populist 'rock star' scares the bejeesus out of them. Wise up…
I know it from watching the news, even when I try to avoid it. Sarah and her ignorance are out there, hiding in plain sight. I wish you all well, because I used to be a Republican. I check in on this site hoping for sanity, and seldom find it. Good luck, if you're determined to go her way.
Not only does Obama want that ticket, but so do the dems and the dem-lite repubs.
A populist rock star won the election in '08 – it just wasn't YOUR populist rock star. Come at us with something better than Sarah. She has not scared the bejeesus out of anybody. She's just making money on a book she didn't even write herself. Just sayin'.
absolutely…
They know a Rockefeller Republican would get smeared. And believe it or not a Beck/Palin ticket would actually terrify them beyond belief. Because there is no way to model that. And folk will be MORE than ready for a return to normalcy populist.
Not endorsing this- just positing the surreal beauty it would bring…
Facts are like krytonite to the liberal.
Me too. It's funny that the liberals can't help themselves when her name is mentioned. Only if they saved up their hatred and energy for the enemy i.e. al-queda, & the taliban, etc. A lot of our problems would be minimized.
The points you argue make sense to me–D!! And as above poster states. The more they attack her, the more I like her.
Plus she is everything a modern feminist isn't. She is a multi-tasking mom, who doesn't whine and complain about being sooo put upon. In other words she is NOT a sainted "victim."
it does have a galvanizing effect…
and they are pushing her popularity up as Barry's goes down. Strange, eh?
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Please, bring on that ticket. Nobody is scared of that ticket. It's the best and easiest one to beat! How do you not KNOW THAT!??
Yes. please nominate, and run her in 2012.
She admits that in her book…unlike Dear Reader.
Well, if that guy says she's dangerous, and Martha says she's dangerous then it MUST be true!
I'd like anyone out there to tell me WHY they think she is dangerous…she isn't in any political position, doesn't hold any title with power, and she isn't going around inciting violence or hate, unlike Obama's minions in the SEIU… so, from a commonsense POV what is it that the left finds so threatening and initimidating about a pretty little lady like Ms. Palin? (Please stick to actual POLICIES instead of attacking mannerisms, faith, and physical appearance)
A quick note on Mexico City: it is more than a bit ridiculous that they're focusing on such weird issues, but women have it rough in Mexico. It isn't just whistling. It's perfectly acceptable for a man to grab a woman's ass while they're on the street – Mexico is a very macho culture. This is slowly changing. I think the women there will take any small help they can get.
They talk up how "dangerous" she is so we'll put her up in 2012. And I'll be forced to vote Democrat for the second time in my life.
Can we please get the religious wack jobs out of our party and focus on the economy, the constitution, and education? Otherwise we'll just get more and more fringe until a third party becomes viable again. Over the last decade, Republican office holders have become the brand name for anti-science and railing against gay marriage while getting caught being adulterers or pedophiles. We're a two issue party and those two issues are way, way down the list of why we've been losing global standing in almost every field or standard of living.
>…….because the press will destroy her just like they did in 2008.<
I wonder if the press will have as much influence by then as they had in 2008. More and more people are turning off the "MSM" by the day, and their reputation, of liberal bias, precedes them even now. And I don't see any hope for that change back to impartial journalism to occur any time soon.
If 'nobody is scared of that ticket', then why the concerted effort on the part of you liberals to destroy her politically this early.
How do you not KNOW THAT?
Well actually, you do. Which is why you people are 'underwear changing' scared of her.
Okay!
Oooooh, one of those "used to be a Republicans". Yep, that's all you have to say about yourself to totally discredit anything you would say. And, you're not registered here, and, you have no concrete examples of her ignorance, and, when you check in on this site hoping for sanity you seldom find it – which would be taken as an insult to anyone else that contributes here (except I'm sure the other trolls). You're not a conservative – your own words give you away.
Is that like a throw me into the brier patch moment for those progressive socialist guys or what?
I don’t know if she’s the one, to run for President for the Conservatives …we’ll see. But Sarah compared to witless Barry, …any time. Obozo is neck and neck for the worst President trophy of all time, Jimmy Carter is pissed. Don’t sweat it, we will begin to set things right in 2010, 12, 14, 16, etc. All you liberals clutch each other tight, and have a good cry, cause you may have to get a job yet!
Dan, Hmmm I guess you also consider George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson whack jobs. Liberals like to claim Jeffferson wasn't a religous man- not as religous as Adams but as one modern historian said,"He would make most pastors today look secular." Palin's deep belief in God is part of what makes her honest, strong, trustworthy and a person with convictions that she actually stands by as opposed to the liberals. Let us not forget that the 2nd amendment has been twisted by Progressives for the last 100 years- read it and understand it- Palin is closer to our founding fathers than anyone on the political scene today.
They’re concerned about our well being, and trying to save us from ourselves. Gee thanks…
Ahh, so maybe Republicans should be more like Democrats to appeal to all of the middle-of-the-road types? Didn't work in the last election, and I would hope that the Republicans won't be goaded into choosing a candidate that would be more palatable to the left than to Conservatives. It's called leadership – finding the right person that can lead, and then the middle-of-the-road types and the undecideds will follow. The two issues sound like they're more important to you than to other conservatives who are for strengthening this country, willing to defend it, bolstering the economy and improving the lives of the citizens of this land. I'm more for having a country that is respected because of its strength – both physical and moral, than one that will appease and accommodate just to get along.
Remind me again why her approval ratings are lower than Obamas…Of the people? Give me an f'ing break. She is only a populist candidate with the Republicans, she does not hold too much water outside of conservative circles. She can become a Serious Contendor, I'll admit that, but she does not have the approval of the "People"
What does the "People" even mean? Who are they? And since when has that famous Mantra of Marxists and Politicians been used among Conservatives?
So, in response to the "people", 3 Words F**K group think.
She is a Politician. Do Not Trust Politicians. How can anyone claim to be libertarian or conservative when they put so much faith in a Politician?
This Palin mania is almost as bad as Obama mania.
"who doesn't whine and complain about being sooo put upon."
EXCUSE ME?! We have been hearing about the Liberal Media destroying her for all of a year now.
In the words of Human Person Jr. "The more they hate her the more I like her". If that isnt running on victimization I dont know what is.
Not a Victim? Give me a Brake
Look I don't like Palin, not one damn bit, something we can agree on, but good riddance to you. We don't need your brand of BS Republicanism anymore. If we are polishing the brass on the Titanic than so be it.
Stop peddling your RINO bullshit here.
You see that's what I hate about this.
I hate Palin because of the way she talks, not because of her identity, her opinions, etc.
It's hard to take seriously anyone who claims they were "forced" to vote Democrat.
"But I think it's more that she is a symbol for what this country (the bulk of it at least) is looking for."
I thought that was Batmans job…
I always thought of Facts as those little things Liberals use to kill themselves but to each their own…
Lets put it this way Sarah Palin is about to surpass Barack Obama is popularity. His polls plummet while her's are on the RISE. She has common sense, a record of cleaning up her own party (which she might end up doing on a national level) and of strong reform in government. You know, all the stuff Obama claimed he was going to do but had no record to establish he would actually do it?
The Democrat Party is being taken down by Obama. It will be discredited for generations to come.
Sarah Palin is the (genuine) breath of fresh air that the people thought they were getting in Barack Obama.
Amazing to see that Martha Stewart was asked for an opinion on Sarah Palin. Perhaps if Sarah were dressed in an "orange jumpsuit", Martha would find her more" interesting" and less dangerous. The MSM become more comical by the hour. Saturday Night Live writers couldn't make these characters up.
Ah, another useful idiot of the left giving the "Repubutards" some kind advice on how to win elections. Now you're going to tell us all that Conservatism is dead, the American People have embraced liberalism, and the GOP should run someone more to the left if they ever want to be in power again. Yes, yes, we've heard it all before. You need to go back and tell your pals and HuffPo to come up with some new material…or at least honest material.
Whenever the GOP runs someone to the left of the party, they lose. Gerald Ford. Bob Dole. John McCain. Whenever they put a candidate who is decidedly more to the right of the party (Reagan, Bush), the GOP hands the Democrats their backsides. So if the Republicans want to kill their party for a generation, they should let you guys pick their candidate again in 2012. If they want to regain the White House, they should put up someone who was never on John Kerry's short list for VP.
Look in the mirror and you'll find all the ignorance you need.
Typical leftist troll. "OMG!! Run the moose chick against Teh Won! We will win by 110% of the votes!! Eleventy!"
Keep plucking that chicken. BTW – Rasmussen did a poll and had O vs Sarah at 46% to 43%. Yeah – she is no threat at all. At the rate he is going I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't run in 2012.
Tool – she did write it in conjunction with an editor/writer. Very common practice. But she actually did most of the heavy lifting and they were all her ideas and thoughts. Unlike O's book that was likely ghost written by American terrorist Bill Ayers. Nice try hippie – but no patchouli for you today.
Yeah – that is a winning formula – supporting gay marriage! Dude – get over it. You are in the extreme minority of someone who calls themselves a Republican with your positions. We have a big tent, but you are barely inside. And if the religious folks (myself included) left, there wouldn't be a party. And when is the last time a Republican made "railing against gay marriage" a platform? The majority of this country doesn't want "gay" marriage recognized. Nice try libertarian troll. Roll yourself a fatty and go back to reading your Dawkins and Hitchens.
D,
It is strange. Sorta like your parents hating The Rolling Stones, or someone else similar, which in turn made them more interesting. The funny thing liberals all like to think of themselves as the rebellious types, but what they see as hypocracy in others, they are blind to their own.
And a very Happy Thanksgiving Day to you too, mate!!! Cheers and God Bless!
Look give the libs a break, who's 2 heartbeats away from the royal crown, none other than Nancy Pelosi, that women even scares my TV, it goes blank as soon as she pops up.
Liberals are cowards. Sarah is dangerous to them because truth is dangerous to them.
Liberals are absolutely okay with Sarah Palin as the Republican candidate as pure political calculus. In a more sympathetic sense, it's not great to see a section of the electorate marginalize itself with a careerist ignoramus, but it's a free country.
Maybe I stated it awkwardly. But I was using the words "sainted victim" in the terms Ann Coulter writes about them, in many of her columns, and in her latest book, "Guilty. Although Sarah is a victim in the sense of getting vicious press, from the State Run media types. I don't sense that Sarah considers herself to be a victim. That's not what I was suggesting. She is a politician and she seems to be able to take it. The State run media types can only dish it out.
Liberals love victims and use them for power and money. Oprah for one has made millions with this tactic.
Yep Sarah Palin is sure scary, we need to watch out america she might get in her helicopter and start shooting SEIU thugs who beat up a cancer survivor. Or run over to Chopenhagen and shoot some lien Climatolgist. Then again she might just write a book so people that can read find out she is a person with faith, family and supports this country and the values it has stands for.
Sure, and I don't blame her one bit for dropping out and cashing in, but all the reasons ring a little hollow to me. You fight 'till you're beaten, you never give up, never quit, whether you're a governor, a fry cook, or a c.e.o. She knew the road would be tough when she took the v.p. nom, and no amount of rationalizing can change the fact that she didn't meet the obligation she swore to when she became governor. I would have no confidence in voting for her for anything.
It's not an attack to point out the truth.
I gotta say…she is on the bus to OverExposureVille.
Two for you Fuck You

Interesting argument. Perhaps you should tell me again what Bowdown accomplished before he was anointed. He was supposedly representing IL in the senate, and yet spent most of that time running for President. Please let me know how many votes that he actually cast, and voting present is not a vote.
To put it in the kindest possible terms your comments about "ass grabbing" in Mexico are not correct. No Mexicana will tolerate being treated like that. Likewise most red blooded, macho, Mexicanos will will defend a even a strange woman who was the victim of a public ass-grabbing. The same appllies to American Men. Furthermore Mexico is somewhat of a "pride based" culture and any self respecting brother/father/cousin/boyfrien/husband would be sure to jack-up any ass-grabber very severely.
I don't think Sara is dangerous but why did she go on Opras s show and what about the book signing where she did not apologize to the people she turned away? Are these red flags or is she good for conservative values. Don't know just thinking this out as I think we should watch who they hang with.I think here record as a Govenor was good though. I would like to see a man like Larry Klayman of FreedomWatch.org or Judicial Watch as he is a attorney and fighting corruption. We need a lawyer president to fight the lawyers and judges that have distorted the constitution.
Can't you read? It wasn't Mitch that said she was dangerous.
"Cleaning up Street Vendors" is typical of left wing governments in Latin America. Mexico City is controlled by the PRD which is a left wing party. The Leftist Statists look down on these budding capitalists much like in the U.S. the leftist elite looks down on "Chamber of Commerce" american entrepeneurs. The left uses the term "bougerousie" to illustrate their contempt for small time capitalists. Centrally-Planned, Command Economies in Latin America could never create enough jobs for their people. Small businessmen and women saw a need for street food, candy, clothing, make-up,… and just started selling on the street. Often these informal market areas developed into formal neighborhood markets. They would like to go from informal to formal business but the obtaining government licenses is expensve and time consuming. Corrupt officials solicit bribes at every turn. The Gubmint forces you to join an approved labor union which kicks back money, votes, and street soldiers to the Gubmit. Much like SEIU an ACORN. My name is Jimmy Huero and I know Mexico.
Libs are brain dead, hate Sarah but support Nancy, yech. Watch out Carter here comes BO.
No one is scared of her. The moon disintegrated last night. The golden Gate Bridge was stolen yesterday. And Obama made a decision, but no one knows what is is yet. And what's his name graduated from high school.
Her approval ratings are lower than Barry is because of no consequences, Dumbshitlebowski!
Was Barry an Alaska Governor? No.
Is Palin the President? No.
Let's see how many books she sells versus Barry's.
And props for Harley2002.
You mean half truth, don't you? But I guess that's good enough for a lib.
You could be right if she wasn't promoting a book.
Sarah Palin scares the hell out of the Left. It makes her the perfect choice in 2012.
Anyone who puts his/her name on a ballot IS a politician. Do you know what POLITIC is?
You know from watching the news? Oh my god, you must be right on.
Gillian, there is no sanity here. GTFO!
Linda she did apologize on Facebook. And her eis some question if any was tyurned away. It appear a left stunt to derail her book tour. many on the scene say only two people with a bullhorn where shouting. still Palin did not point fingers she simply apolgized and made sure nothing like that happened again.
I like these people that say they are a Fan but she is unelecetable. Astrotuft much? do you all really think conservatives are that stupid.? first of all any and all supporters of palin thinks she can win. If they did not they would not be fans (supporters) of hers.
as far as her religion. since only 10% of the country does not believe in GOD. I think I would rather lose that 10% than the 90%.
what does she stand for? I heard her speak and what I have heard is politcal speak.. Say what you mean and mean what you say.. She stood with Mc Cain and that does say alot.. I want truth not another rock star..
"what does she stand for?"
Small government
reduced taxes
and is big on national security.
Anyone who actually pays attention to what Sarah says should be aware of this.
Watch her O'Reilly interview or Greta Van Sustern.
She got the substance to back up her "rock star" status. Though I think its not so much a rock star thing as it is people can tell she is "of the people".and actually likes being an American.
"We need a lawyer president to fight the lawyers and judges that have distorted the constitution."
NO MORE LAWYERS! or Senators or Congress-critters. That's how we got to where we are now.
ditto
lower taxes, less government spending , more US based energy , freedom from oppressive government, strong defense, freedom of religion not freedom from religion, sanctity of life , family, ….compared to what is going on now , she makes a lot of sense unless you think unsustainable deficit spending on inefficient government solutions, undermining our soldiers and business , solving a health care issue by raising your premiums , etc sounds fine to you
she did apologize and said she was unaware of the problem at the time and I believe she made some effort to try to right the situation…..
First I suggest you read the article above. Second read my post. Then try reading the Declaration of Independence,The Constitution and The Gettysburg Address. That's the People I'm referring to and about as Marxist as I get. Enjoy your Turkey today but please just don't be one.
what lower taxes? less spending where? freedom from opressive government? she is GOP that means she puts party before country,.. she is in favor of oppressing the voter through gerrymandering and other election laws. using the taxpayer money on closed primaries which means voter enslavement and welfare for the parties.. by support of and throwing in with Mc Cain she is favor cap and trade and amnesty. how is she going save HC.. by spouting the republican line? the collapse of America is due the shrinking middle class and all the laws that PREVENT a working man from using his talents and skills from succeeding in starting his own business. this list can go on.. We have a fool in the white house now why do we need another..??
Why didn’t she put the uniform of our country on? Was just too inconvenient or unhealthy.. She wants to lead but not defend this country,.. The commander and chief must be made of steel and self sacrifice..
Stepping down from governor was not the best way she could have found to become the next president. No risk she'll rule the world anytime soon. She'll always be miss Alaska in our heart !
When you are unable to govern because you are spending your entire time fighting bogus ethics complaints and your state is effectively without a working leader, then common sense dictates you hand over the reins to your deputy and leave the office so that the job can be done by someone who isn't so hampered. But I think you have made up your mind anyway, so it's probably pointless trying to convince you.
too many except things at face value..this our lives not a game..Our country is not at a cross roads but a defining moment.. Do we protect the dream that is America, The promise of America or do we fade into the setting sun.. Both gov. parties bankrupted our country, by selling to special interest the keys to vault of the taxpayer.. Our country was about representation, but now our gov. is sold to the highest bidder. Our entire debt can be traced to contributions.
She's very scary to Libs because she's got more balls than they do. GO SARAH!!!
"Then try reading the Declaration of Independence,The Constitution and The Gettysburg Address."
I think any self respecting person who posts on here has read those things. I have, no need to remind me. But all I'm getting at is this. She is a politician. Don't trust them. Don't act like shes one of us, because we both know she's not. Politicians should just be politicians and leave it at that, they shouldnt try to hide it. Even Reagan, Lincoln, the founding Fathers, had deep, deep flaws and when you approach this stuff like they are anything more than corrupt Human beings, when you look to them for your hope, your no better than the Liberals who do the same damn thing.
If any one could 'force' you to vote Democrat you must be a gutless coward anyway. Good riddance.
All I'm saying is people should never treat people with the Idealized, pseudo religious tones that they gave to Obama, and the way fans of Palin talk about her is pretty damn similar.
I don't want a Conservative version of Obama (Strange I know, but purely on stylistic terms)
I don't want another Weak Governor who talks to his Conservative Ideals, but Sells out his Ideals on the Chopping block, IE George Bush and the Economy.
I dont want someone who is like me, who is "Of the people", who is Interesting in her personal life.
Palin feeds off of media attacks. The more she plays up how the media attacks her, the more her Fan Base likes her. She spends allot of time talking about the viscous media smear campaign, and that endears her to her supporters.
I just think, shes playing the victim, just not in the traditional sense.
I find it hilarious that the MSM puts up such a fuss about Sarah Palin…LOL!! They are shooting themselves in the foot every time they try to discredit her! The more they bad mouth her the more she looks good to mainstream America! SHE IS ONE OF US and they can't stand it!! It's too late to put the Jeanie back in the bottle now..they should have realized that, if they had left her alone, maybe she wouldn't be so popular…just kidding, she is more Presidential material than Obama could ever be! Palin/Beck 2012!!!!!!!!! Someone needs to make bumper stickers that say that!!
I was at a book store the other day, and was glancing at the cover of her book. Three women, of various ages walked by. The older lady said something like, "I would never buy that book." There was some additional hate-filled blah blah thrown in to which one of the younger women said, "I would burn it." As they sauntered off, I picked up the book, and considered buying it in response to the ladies' nastiness.
That night, I happened upon Joy Behar's show, and watched her discuss Ms. Palin with Judge Judy. Joy was mad too…..to the point that she called Ms. Palin a "liar" and even had the gall to question Sarah Palin's intelligence. To her credit, Judge Judy did not fully dive into the pool of "let's trash Sarah". I did not stick around to watch for more, but was again amazed by the reaction to this person.
I am rebellious in a closeted sort of way, so all of this hatred towards one lady makes me want to know more about her. Heck, I even want to invite her to our house for Thanksgiving. I just want to see what all the fuss is about. I guess I will just have to go back and buy that book. I hope the ladies are there, with their mouths hanging open as I gleefully place my cash on the counter.
Erin
The left always mindlessly attacks what they fear. And they are very very afraid of Sarah. Of course all corruptocrats like Pelosi, Murtha, Jefferson, Geitner, Reid, Dodd, Fwank… all the corrut better be very afraid because by her record she will GET you!
There is a subset of Liberals that are psychologically damaged and are self-loathing people. They hate themselves, and since they came from the White Middle Class, they loathe the White Middle Class. Hence, they "Hate" Sara Pallin.
I've met a number of these people. You can tell when they start expressing hatred for "Yuppies" or "Suburbia" or "the Religious Right".
It's so strange to see this woman, who is relatively new to the National Political scene, and has not really spent long years spouting off on political issues, being "hated" with such passion. Why hate someone you barely know?
Pictures of Barrack Obama holding a pencil are about as evident as his Birth Certificate. We all know that William Ayers wrote his books.
So why don't you guys double-down on your Economic Policies. Raise that Minimum Wage some more and blow another 5 trillion dollars on your Union pals, and we'll worry about our Presidential Candiate.
Barrack Obama is the least-qualified, least skilled, least competent man to ever run this country. We all understand now that this experiment in affirmative-action is a failure.
Palin has said that her priorities are God, Family and Country. She has also stated that politicians have lost their "Honor" along with the trust of Americans. Oh…and being GOP doesn't mean putting party above Country. It means that your a democrat.
What? you think she should have enlisted in the Military? OK, right after several million democrats do, maybe we will consider that stupid statement.
Palin has said that her priorities are God, Family and Country. She has also stated that politicians have lost their "Honor" along with the trust of Americans. Oh…and being GOP doesn't mean putting party above Country. It means that your a democrat.
The rest of your ignorant screed is BS. Not even worth speaking to.
Maybe. She has always said her priorities are God, Family, Country. She was and always will care for her family and consider them first. I think she considered that it would also be the best for Alaska that she resigned. Too bad some other State Governors don't do the same. And you got your people mixed up. Obama is the one who wants to rule the world.
Run, Sarah, Run!!! Palin's already been on the ballot and she lost. She's an embarrassment to a Republoteabaggerist party too stupid to know she's an embarrassment. Afraid of Sarah Palin? Not.
Sarah Palin is beautiful,she's kind,she's all American,but she has made it clear that she's dangerous,not only to our military by affirming her mindless,unlimited support of anything and all things "Israel",but for the innocent citizens of the next foreign country that we will eventually destroy.
Her mindless religious invocations and statements that make her fall into the trap of the whole bibilical/Zionist fairy tale reinforces the first insane policy.
Could we possibly get back to the constitution and away from the killings and associations with countries that kill?
Brilliant riposte!
That is a better summation than anything else I have ever read or heard…
She is dangerous because SHE is me. SHE is what a lot of us women out here in the boondocks are like. SHE talks and walks and thinks like WE do and WE are very dangerous to the liberals because we don't approve of their morals, goals, attitudes and behaviors.
Works for me.
Barry Bowbama has, what, three more years or so to REALLY SCREW IT UP even more?
I could get that beagle from "Underdog" elected after that…putting a competent Sarah Palin in the office is just icing (Cream Cheese and Butter) on the cake…
Please, keep screaming, statists…everyone is listening now…
"Global Warming" has nailed the coffin shut on the MSM…
Nothing like yelling, "the SKY IS FALLING, and BURNING UP!" when everyone is freezing their asses off…
I can tell you've been there…because that is a perfect summation of Mexico…
Pwned!
A +1 to you!
You sound so smart but it is like telling a child that an elephant is really small compared to .. well, whales or mountains or planets, right after explaining that size is everything and the biggest land animal is the elephant. Did I lose you? Let me put it to you this way. Don't come on here making an argument like Palin's poll numbers are lower than Obama's as if those poll numbers aren't being worked feverishly by the pollsters, and then when we reject that argument you take on some grandiose posture about how all politicians are untrustworthy. They're NOT all untrustworthy and a few of them have a little decency.
Your statment is stupid..Why didn't she join up to serve this country.. It doesn't become safe on it's own.. To be commander and chief you must be made of the same steel as the people you lead.. To hold other people lives in your hand then you must have your life held in some one elses… I disagree with the corrupt of the party system and I am automatically a democrat..that is exactly why I seek to destroy the party system.. and yes when you belong to a party you put party above country..
as always when confronted with truth people like yourself run.. All politicians claim god family and country.. but it is what you want to hear, not the truth.
Isn't what Mayor Marcelo Ebrard is doing the exact same thing Rudy Guiliani did with his "no broken windows" campaign? And didn't that end up drastically reducing NYC's crime rate? It seems that by insisting on civil behavior and not tolerating low level criminal infractions, one ends up sending the message that large scale infractions won't be tolerated either, and the overall crime rate drops. If it worked in NYC, why wouldn't it work in Mexico City?
its all about good intentions. Dems are never held to account for the abject failures of their hair-brained social engineering. The welfare programs they instituted destroyed the neucleous of the family. Paying women based on number of children in the home increased the number of out-of-wedlock children. The woman could not have a man living in the residence. Ooops! well they had another brain-storm…….roe vs wade. Ever wonder why the manority of Plan Parenthood offices are located in lower income areas? Truth is a great elixor. The reason we in the great unwashed flyover part of America gravitate to some one like Sara is simple…….she is honestly in love with America, she dosen't applogies for every percieved fault.
Good thing neither Palin nor the general public that supports her fits into this category.
Next?
What are you TALKING about?! Who cares about her resigning? Only a few talking heads in the beltway circuit and the drones that listen to them. Yes that means you, too, drone. Isn't the bigger scandal that people were throwing frivolous lawsuits at her left and right, attacking her simply because they think she's dangerous? And what really is the problem here? I'm asking but I don't expect you to have a response. Drone. You are in the matrix. You are a coppertop for the left. Your head is under water. Drone!
Her SON is in the Theater RIGHT NOW…that makes her a BLUE STAR mom, pal…
And how many mothers of FIVE kids does the military need?
Reassess, troop; she lowered taxes in Wasilla that spurred growth and made Wasilla a shopping destination in the area…attracting big box stores and a better life for people there…
But I think you WANT to be hatin' on her…just sayin'…
Maybe. We certainly are getting a lot of Palin these days. But Oprah/Obama Christmas?! Where's the air sickness bag!
has any one ever compiled the billions that the people of america send around the world for humanatrian pruposes. How many people live in freedom because the soldiers of america laid down their lives to liberate them? What other nation on earth went to war with itself to rid the horrors of slavery? When I look at those saying that Sara is dangerous, Marth(insider tradeing)Stewart, note she is so elitist she goes to K-mart to sale her products, but I'd bet the farm she wouldn't be caught dead shopping in one. Germaine Greer, hell isn't she dead? George Patton had it right…" Americans like winners" we detest whiners!
I could not disagree with you more: liberals do not have to pick whether Sarah is stupid or evil: she must be both if she disagrees with them! After all, can you think of any figure they are afraid of and wanted to trash in the lamestream media who was not regarded as both stupid and evil at the same time? Reagan? Bush? Rush? Beck? Wait, I'm wrong–I haven't heard that Cheney is stupid yet, but then again he is Darth Vader, so perhaps he's an exception.
can't you?
"In this e mail, which comes under the imprimatur of BarackObama.com Mitch says this:
Sarah Palin is on a highly publicized, nationwide book tour, attacking President Obama and his plan for health reform at every turn. It’s dangerous. "
When did Berry serve?
Stay with that.
Barry's already over the cliff. First time he looks down, he'll Wile. E Coyote right into the ground…
MSM backs "Global Warming", and "Chicken Little's" themselves into complete irrelevance…
Congress "Health Care" aways while America's jobs burn…like Nero…
ACORN cheats, and SEIU beats, and statists look away for a nickel…
PLEASE, stay with Hatin' on Palin, pretty please, with sugar on it!
God, liberals are SO stupid…THANK YOU!!
Good.
Hope the "Innocent Civilians" of the next foreign country get a clue and rein in their governments…
Been a religious bigot long?
"Beat up little fish to SCARE big fish?"
Funny. Ha ha.
Why not try this; ENFORCE THE LAW!
Not just the easy ones on the little fish…
Serving our country in uniform is a duty of all it citizens.. And by the way the military is not a job it is a duty.. A police officer can quit in the middle of a gun fight, but soldier must do or die. Vet is an earned title not given.. Serving your country clearly states for all to see. . I put my life on the line for my country…
one of the first rules of war is: If your enemy is committing suicide, stay out of the way. and democrats are nothing, if not experts at political warfare.
so if Sarah Palin is such a lead pipe cinch winner- for the democrats- why is so much energy & ammo being expended to destroy her?
or are you going to tell us there was a super-secret meeting in which the entire political left devised a diabolical scheme to employ the "Br'er Rabbit" strategy? "Oh no, Br'er Fox! Please don't throw me in the briar patch!!!" "Oh no, Republicans! Please don't run Sarah Palin! She's DANGEROUS/STUPID/SLUTTY/AN IMPERFECT MOTHER/ETC.ETC.ETC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anything but that! (wink, wink)"
which, btw, would be a complete 180 from how the left treated John McCain…
Two things about the "feminist" movement.
1) They're all about breaking that glass ceiling and going as far as they can go…and then they attacked Palin for not staying at home with her kids.
2) They're against sexual harassment in the workplace, especially between a male superior and a female subordinate…yet they were very quiet about Bill and Monica.
Sarah Palin is stupid?
How about spending trillions of $$$ we don't have in order to save the economy – that's stupid.
How about throw people in jail or fine them if they don't buy insurance.
How about try a war criminal in our courts – and even if he's acquitted, he doesn't walk (why try him in the first place?)
How about traveling all over the world apologizing for all of the our country's (perceived) failures in order to make us stonger.
How about tax the heck out of businesses to pay tribute the the global warming hoax.
These are all seriously stupid things actually going on now. Why is Sarah being called stupid?
You asked what she stood for and I told you because I listened to what she said. She also does not support cap and trade and Obama HC proposals. She does support removing state barriers from health ins, pooling for individuals and the standard Rep plan promoted by Paul Ryan. As far as I know she is not running for the White House or any other office merely supporting candidates she likes. Again, I listened to her. You seem to complain more than listen. Do you have a favorite candidate?
We have a volunteer army .
CorporalO doth protest too much, methinks!
"Fight until your beaten" – Very well.
I'm going to tie one of your arms behind your back. Then I'll get two of my friends to help me fight you. Then we'll keep any of your friends from coming to help you. Then we'll publicize the fight that this is what *you* wanted. Then we'll add in a wager that pits all of your money against hardly any of ours. Let's go! FIGHT.
What? Doesn't sound like a fair fight? But you never give up, donch'a?
This is why Sarah did what she did. She changed the rules. Everyone expects a politician to stay in power, they expect them to want to keep what they have.
Sarah is still fighting, don't doubt it. She just chose to fight in a way that threw the Libs off their game.
They're regurgitating Huffpo talking points, and quite a number of people have absorbed those as truth. Don't confuse them with the very solid strategic reasons she got out, it's too hard for them to understand. Especially when they've got their judgment premade in a little packet with a "The wOn" ribbon around it.
Hmmm… draft dodger or just plain military hating bigot? YOU have a big plan for foreign policy smartypants? While you are busy hanging out in mom's basement, look around and think about why you have the freedom to do nothing more than be in mom's basement. The real danger is in idiots like you not understanding history, have no love of country and are too busy spending their adult lives at the video game store. Danger is in bigotry and ignorance. You seem to have a double helping of both.
We all see how Barry is all over being a master at foreign policy. Good thing he has the expert Biden showing him the ropes.
It's called fighting back. She isn't whining, she's hitting back. Fair game, and good on her. I wish to h* GWB had hit back instead of letting the left set the entire narrative for the last 8 years.
That's a story for another day, but apart from his lack of ideological interest in things fiscal or otherwise, GWB's unwillingness to even try to set the narrative was his greatest fault. Sarah won't sit quiet while the left does its thing. Go, Sarah.
Because electing Sarah would be a step toward reversing all this terrible damage to the Nation…
Which makes her stupid…to a statist lib….
I wonder if he got tingles up his leg when the blond Einstein did. I bet he didn't have to be told what a "teabagger" is. Do you suppose he tosses salad using real veggies, too?
Wrong on the zero chance, especially if Obambi is still running. And the press can do what they want, a majority will be seeing through them by then, if they aren't already. Sarah is already almost even with Obambi, and in 3 more years…
And still, she accomplished more for the state of Alaska than Zero has accomplished in his entire life. Which is exactly why the left had to shut her down with those bogus lawsuits that get thrown out each and every time they come up.
As a private citizen Palin has continued to accomplish more than Zero has. She's gotten people to ask questions of the powerful as those in Congress push through legislation that affects all of us. Zero has only stirred up distrust and anger between races and classes. I suppose, for him, that's achievement of a goal, but it's not to the benefit of this country. Two years with Palin and Alaska was better off. Ten months with Obama and we're in serious trouble. It's plain as day. Which is why the left must hate her louder than the facts.
Exactly.
You just opened up this thread to a whole buttload of lawyer jokes. Lawyers in office seem to perpetuate their own subspecies – lawyer politicians, who find new and exciting ways to part us common folk from our God and Constitutionally given rights and our hard-earned money. I would say that there are a few good ones, but by and large, I don't trust the vast majority of them, particularly in office, to do the "right thing".
And the Democrats – to a man or woman – don't do exactly the same things? On a vastly greater scale? You rail on about Sarah and the Republican party, but you don't offer any solutions. I'm not interested in your gloom and doom on what's supposed to be a happy holiday. And a Happy Thanksgiving to you, in spite of yourself.
And our current glorious Commander in Chief? I don't remember ever seeing him in uniform either. Probably too busy getting indoctrinated by his leftist mentors. Sounds like you're more of an anarchist than a democrat. That means you stand for nothing. Again, Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your tofu turkey.
Dan, she does focus quite a bit on the economy. And the rights outlined in the Constitution. She ran Alaska in a very libertarian manner. She did not run it as a theocracy, which is what the dems keep saying will happen if she's ever given the reins. She, unlike Obama, actually has a record to explore and it refutes all of their attacks except "sqwack, she quit!" and "sqwack, she's a religious nutjob!". Both are at the top of the talking points and both are dishonest. The first in it's lack of facts and the second because … she's simply not.
Anyone who thinks Sarah Palin is a religious whack job who can't separate her Christianity from her governance is either ill-informed or hates Christians.
Well, Obama hasn't written a book himself either. How's that Obama 46% approval rating after 9 months looking for 2012?
Dan,
Religious whack jobs? I've heard Sarah speak often of energy independence, smaller government and fiscal responsibility but I can't recall her ever Bible thumping. Which Sarah are you referring to?
I have apparently missed "ALL" her mindless religious invocations. Could you provide a few links so I might catch up.
I don't think there is any Military Occupational Specialty for "Community Organizer"…
And as to going on Oprah, when you're trying to sell a book, shouldn't you go on just about any show that invites you? Particularly the one that actually sells books?
Sarah Palin has exhibited conservative values and governance without the so-con flavor she's so often accused of. The democrats don't want people to see that so they accuse with no evidence. They talk down everything she does as if it's proof of their accusations when it patently is NOT.
Linda, please look beyond the typical news media. I don't blame you for not liking Palin, but please dislike her in an informed way. If what you've written is what you truly think, then you're being played by the media like a violiin.
To address your specific points, Sarah Palin had a very distinctive record as governor of Alaska that gave her, at the peak, an approval rating over 80% and you don't know about that record because the MSM doesn't want you to know about it, nor does the GOP establishment.
She has a long record of going against the GOP. Not only did she take down the chairman of her state's Republican Party and a former GOP Attorney General for unethical conduct when she served on Alaska's Oil and Gas Commission but she also defeated GOP machine politician (long time Senator and sitting governor) Frank Murkowski to get her seat as governor. And perhaps you missed that in the New York 23rd Congressional district special election, she was out front in supporting the Conservative party candidate over the official GOP candidate, who was far to the left. So she has disproven your charge that "she is GOP that means she puts party before country" multiple times.
Yes, she supported John McCain's positions during the election because she was his VP pick. It would have made no sense to tear down McCain and fight with him. That would have guaranteed a loss. If you feel that pragmatism and compromise are never acceptable, then get used to never having any power because that's a recipe for losing elections.
As for serving in the military, her son serves in the military.
Hey, any book as seriously "Fact Checked" as industriously as this one was to only find six "lukewarm errors" (my quotes), has GOT to be worth it…
I am way too pinched right now by the economy to buy it outright, but the reseller/used market…
Look Lebbowski you don't like Palin. Fine that's OK by me. We don't live under the Hammer and Sickle yet. You're projecting your dislike and mistrust of her and all politico's not based on my post but on what you feel about her and them. She's not one of us? OK maybe but she's certainly not some Liberal Fruitcake or a Can't We All Get Along Republican. 2012 is a long way off plus primaries. We'll know who she and the rest of them are. As for looking to any of them for Hope…..Sorry. I go to the Big Guy for all that but I get your point. OK enough bloviating. I've got a Turkey to cook and eat and a mob coming over to help me do it. At least the eating part. I'm sure you do too. Be Well Brother and enjoy your Holiday. AA
As an atheist I have to take exception to your characterizing religious conservatives as whack jobs. Even counting the few who insist on a 6,000-year-old earth, the religious are no less sane than most of the folks on the left. And I am more than willing to make common cause with anyone who fights for freedom, individual responsibility and limited government. The religious are a strong contingent of those, because they do not believe in the state, or some branch of social "science" scholarship, or any man-made institution, as the source or repository of all truth and meaning. And most of them, contrary to the claims of the left, do not want to create a theocracy; they have enough humility to know better, and what they seek is limited government, though with some laws that you might not like, legislated rather than imposed by men in black robes. And being legislated, such laws would be limited to what can be agreed upon by enough of the electorate.
I should have rewritten that second sentence as "than most atheists." Left or right is irrelevant.
Are you serious??? Jeeeeezus! Deceit? She throws out terms like "Death Panels", even though she herself voted in 2006 to support end of life counseling!! That is the DANGER she poses, rhetoric not reality!!
http://www.allgov.com/ViewNews/Palin_Gingrich_Gra...
She offers nothing but sound bites and stirring dissent! She has no concept of "United we Stand."!!! She understands only that she needed to bail on her Governor position before the Alaska GOP House brought her up for ethics charges and her speaking tour and Book money train was stopped!
As for deceit, every day is a deceit day at Drudge, Breitbart and the rest of the America hating Con locations that put revenue and or ratings before America! Look at Fox News, the king of ratings before Country, the story headline "Obama Shatters spending record for President for Fiscal 2009"
Yet what they conveniently leave out is Obama took office in 2009, the Fiscal year 2009 Budget, which includes what the US will spend in 2009, was SUBMITTED BY W!!!
http://www.america.gov/st/usg-english/2008/Februa...
I know Cons have an aversion to facts so the link will not be checked, so here is the lead in:
Bush Submits U.S. Budget for Fiscal Year 2009
Washington — Each year in early February, the U.S. president sends to Congress The Budget of the United States Government. A 1921 federal law, the Budget and Accounting Act, mandates the president prepare and submit such a document “no earlier than the first Monday in January, and no later than the first Monday in February.”
On February 4, President Bush made budget history in two ways:
• He submitted the funding proposal in an electronic format; and
• He put forward a federal spending plan that topped $3 trillion.
Seriously I really hope that it's just Con ignorance and immaturity that prevents them from looking realistically at events…I fear however it's more than that…
How many "Republicans" did she go after? Young AND Stevens? And if it weren't for her promise to support the McCain campaign, (evenafter the Huckabee debacle that pushed Romney out, to keep that idiot Obama out of the WH), I think she would have deep-fried that "collegiate" Congressional collaborator in his own oily deeds…
No wonder "Democans" and "Republicrats" BOTH want her candidacy dead…I think incumbents on both sides know this…
LOL!
I'd love to see Obama's military record sometime. Oh, and on that note, John Kerry's actual military record might make for fascinating reading, too … if he'd ever release it.
John McCain served. He also served many years in the senate. Did you vote for him?
Go home, troll.
As QA said she only supported McCain because she was stuck with him. And I do mean stuck. His handlers made her look as stupid as they could, because they were the kind of people she has battled in Alaska – party insiders, riding the gravy train and doing less than nothing.
As for McCain, I honor him for his service, but he is dead weight in politics. Should have retired and gone on a book tour. He is the reason we have Barry.
Buzz, you've got a good point, except Rudy didn't go after whistle-blowing construction workers and gum droppers. He went after the people who tied up traffic when they ran up to cars and sprayed them with cleaner — the squeegee men. He went after the porn district because they were engaging in prostitution and it was the first thing someone would see upon driving into the city. He went after vandalism. He did make new porn rules, but other laws he simply pushed for enforcement. And, yes, the result was a vastly lowered crime rate.
But, again, he didn't go after the kind of nonsense things Ebrard is going after. This appears to be all show as far as I can tell. If the rest of the 'commandments' are less silly, then we'll see.
palin is dangerous because she's a loon-ball who has a loyal following of loonies. These loonies are the same hard-core Jim Jones types who voted for George Bush Jr not once, but twice. If that doesn't show the most serious suicidal intent for our nation since the South voted for secession, I don't know what does. These nutjobs now have latched onto another affable moron who would finish nailing down the coffin lid that the phony populist Bush and his cohort of super-rich elitists have put the American public in. Palin, who is far dumber than Dan Quayle, Mr. Potatoe ever was, would be just a puppet in their hands. Palin the Rogue…that's as big a joke as Bush the Common Man. That's just the sort of empty nonsense that the Jim Jones loonies, who think they're rightwing, but are really just wingnuts, lap up.
if she's so "dangerous and bad" – why is the state media spending so much time on her?
Progressivism = Totalitarianism
we are under attack – wake up America
I agree. If she stays involved and the press keeps fulminating they will only look ridiculous by that time and the rebels will vote for Palin just to stick it to those idiots. They've made themselves laughable just from her book.
There are plenty of years to show the press for what it's become. I wouldn't count Palin out so quickly. But there are others out there who might make a good run, too. With the media so engaged with trying to stop Sarah, she might actually be sussing out a candidate to back in 2012. LOL. I'd love to see their faces if that happened.
What are her "loonie" positions?
A lame attempt at reverse psychology after the swarm of attacks trying to convince people she was worthless failed.
A nice twist, but it does make the flop sweat a bit obvious.
But… but… he's probably concerned too.
(Really, I need to get a harpoon for the Moby's that show up here and on Big Government. Could harvest enough oil to light lamps for years.)
Because you're not Brer Rabbit.
She wrote a book?? Hey, did you hear anything about this little vampire movie all the kids are seeing? ;-D
In other words, let the Democrats and Proggs define things for you and dance to their tune.
No.
Perhaps people should challenge the Narrative when it is claimed Republicans are "brand names" for this or that.
You had truth? Looked more like the usual "has she stopped beating up Todd yet" style of "questions" your ilk seems to take utter glee in spreading around.
It's not that you don't make a good argument. I think the country is tired of typical politicians, plus what Barry is doing to our country is fueling Sarah Palin. She is different, from what we can tell so far. I don't think she could win in 2012, but she could really stir things up more than she's doing now, then maybe throw her support to the Republican candidate against Barry (if his approval ratings dosesn't plummet in to the teens, and running in 2012).
She is "of the people" who has some executive experience, so it's not like she's a "people". She's not some Ivy leaguer with elitist mentality.
…and yet you keep bringing her up in an attempt to get people who support her to abandon her.
Something tells me you are lying to yourself and everyone else.
Could you provide a few links so I might catch up.
Oh listen to the pretty crickets sing!
You use the word "loonie" but something tells me it doesn't mean what you think it means.
(Hint: "disagrees with Reality Shows" is not the definition.)
Looks like Sarah could be the next president.
what they fear is no matter how smear or libelous commnets she wont go away. obamaites are patrons of the saul alinsky teachings. read his manifesto. rule 11 donot face your opponent destroy him not the idea. we saw that in alska when she was governer every little nit picking thing they used their power to investigate her. which required attorneys. they wore her down to the point of even if i win i lose. now she is free to do what ever she wants. to preach to america what is going on and the left cant stand it because they have no answer for her. its sort of like the obama situation. you cant decry his politics or your a racist or a right wing nut. democrats last stand the race card other than that they have nothing! their policies have bankrupted america and solved nothing but more problems. i would say the more she talks all those independant voters who really put the oabama nightmare in will be jumping ship! they no it and fear it!
She's a talking-point robot. She's only scary in the following way: that someone even more completely vapid and simplistic and entirely far behind their time than Bush could create such quivering and embarrassing adoration. THAT's the concern; on the other hand, what a delight: anyone who quit her job to rake up some easy cash, who can't hold her own without rabid defenders and apologists (like you–hey, how'd you like to see her one-on-one with the Bomba? You'd never let it happen), and who thinks Earth is under 6000 years old is the kind of candidate i can't wait to see on the Depublican ticket next go-round. We LOVE this woman. Believe it.
Hey Pat,
What's a loon? Well, let's see, what does a loon do and what does it agree with? How about letting bin Ladin escape, while investing all our resources invading a country that posed no threat to us under the pretense that they were allied with bin Ladin and had a nuclear program that was an imminent threat? (Both bald-faced lies).
How about removing all the controls put in place since the Great Depression to prevent avaricious bankers from sending our global economy into a catastrophic depression? And what was the rationale for this? Let's recall what that super intelligent right-wing Fed chairman Greenspan said – that the banks didn't need regulation because they would never take risks that could endanger their business. There's a real loonball for ya – turns out he was just another right-wing idiot. The banks did take those risks, knowing they were untouchable. Once these demons from hell were released from their gaol of regulation, they infected the whole country with their something for nothing lust for ill-gotten wealth. How about dismantling FEMA after Bill Clinton had rebuilt it, so that we were helpless when a big hurricane finally hit New Orleans? "Kill the baby in the crib" – remember that? That was the conservative mantra – cut taxes, take apart the government, give the virtuous, God-blessed rich and powerful all the scope they need to impoverish and enslave the wicked, unchaste, incontinent, slothful, stupid poor and the unambitious, sheep-like, foolish, gullible, trivia-minded middle-class. And that's what has been happening. This is a phoilosophy that is really anything but conservative. It is profligate. It is based on using up all our resources today and leaving nothing for the future. It is a sow the wind and reap the whirlwind philosophy. Remember the Dustbowl? No? I thought not. It took a responsible, liberal administration to turn that catastrophe around. Sweet, goofy Ms. Palin embraces fully, ignorantly and blissfully that philosophy – drill baby, drill. To hell with the future.
That 'something' you're hearing is likely bad turkey – sam and ella visiting and causing you to hallucinate.
'hatin' on palin…' Funny. I'm laughing at you – that's the point of my post. Genius has limits, stupidity has no boundaries. You're limitless if you think Palin's going anywhere but to the curb.
What's a movie?
Hey, Carl. What happened during Bush, when people criticized HIM? They were called–probably by you, you spineless moron–"traitors" or "unAmerican" because it's so horrible to not get behind you Prez 110% during a period of war. What's changed? We're still at war. You a traitor, or just a big, big hypocrite? Palin is a doofus. Bring her EVERYWHERE and put her on the ticket. We are praying for that. You people like fluff and no substance; easy answers without the need to think too much; and you can't spell and should be washing toilets and not acting like you know more than you do–you are the lower class and should remain where you can do some good.
one of the first rules of war is: If your enemy is committing suicide, stay out the way. the democrats are nothing if not experts at political warfare.
so like Patrick just said (and i tried to a few hours earlier, but was blocked by the site admin for God only knows what reason), unless the 'great leftwing conspiracy' had some super-secret national meeting about deploying the grand Brer Rabbit briar patch strategy against Sarah, i think you're full of it. hopefully, we'll get a chance to find out who's right come 2012.
never forget the Carter presidency made Reagan's possible…
Thats pretty Fair I think, and Iwould vote for her against Obama. She actually sounds decent when it comes to the issues, and her media blitz, while kinda annoying, has also softened my view of her. She put in an okay performance in the Hannity, O'reilly Interviews etc.
Its really the attitude of her most fervent supporters which disturbs me. All these people who are her most devoted fans just endlessly spouting off about how we "Shouldn't underestimate her" we "Should never Dismiss her".
People who honestly believe in forming a new party with her as the head, as if that would get us anywhere politically, its just kinda nonsensical ideological blathering.
That and, I still believe that the reason so many people like her is mainly her looks, and when she loses those, she loses any political clout.
Yeah, and how's that hopey changey thing working for you? Oh, that's right, you won! To the victor goes the spoils – you must really be feeding at the public trough yourself. Enjoy – 2010 is coming very soon, and your propaganda may help you feel better about yourself, but we know it to be the lies that they are. Oh – and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
As a Catholic, Good stuff!
I would definitely vote for her if she did that!
If your supposed to be some kind of Conservative you have a funny way of showing it…
"…because the press will destroy her just like they did in 2008."
i think a lot of people now see the media sold them a very expensive, very poor quality empty suit last time around and have become much more leery of what they say. in fact, if things keep going the way they are and the LameStreamMedia keeps trying to desperately prop up their hero, they may very well influence the 2012 elections negatively. in other words, people will actively vote against the media's recommendations.
Republoteabaggerist…
God Damn you are clever, think of that zinger by yourself?
Your just Polishing the Brass on the Titanic, and by that I mean the Obama presidency.
You are, without a doubt, the worst turkey I have had the misfortune to lay eyes on.
"You people like fluff and no substance"
As if Obama was anything other than that. Give me a F*****G break. I dont like Palin, doubt I ever will, but seriously, what pleasure do you derive from coming in and trolling it up at people who you disagree with?
I think it's perfectly healthy for many conservatives to be sceptical of Palin as 2012 candidate at this point, but please folks don't go overboard. She has a couple years to develop into a true contender, let's not shoot ourselves in the feet now. Why would we want to discourage in any way the momentum she may well be in the early stages of building? She may or may not end up being our "the one" for ending the madness in '12. No reason to decide one way or another now. Let all with the ambition to take on the fight come forward and work for it.
I have not put all my hopes in her just yet but I've liked much of what we have heard from her recently. I will say this- If I had to chose right now I'd take the populist conservative Palen over the polished and establishment Romney- without a doubt. And as many have been saying, the more "they" hate her, the more I seem to like her.
Lawyers go right next to Politicians. Not inconceivable to have a good one, but it sure as hell ain't likely.
Okay, lets call it, "Fighting Back"…but we both know that she spends more of her time "Fighting Back" than talking about the issues.
If I were polishing the brass on the Titanic I'd have to thread my way around those deck chairs rearranged by the Bush Administration and those Republoteabaggerists while they were scutting that vessel and America with it.
Oh, I don't know — your comeback is pretty sad.
You mentioned Bush by the second sentence…
And one-on-one with Barry? No teleprompter? Barry can't urinate without a teleprompter…
Nice try, we'll rate you a 2.375 on the troll-O-meter…
Mentioned Bush by the second sentence…
*snicker*
Conservative?
Riiigggghhhttt…
Thanks for spending your Thanksgiving here lecturing us…Mom kick you off the kids table?
God, libs are SO stupid…
"hey, how'd you like to see her one-on-one with the Bomba?" with or without his teleprompter? i give her 2:1 odds with, 10:1 without.
"Obama's poll numbers are a complete FRAUD."
I think you mean to say that they are deceptive. We've known since day 1 that his actual approval was lower than his favoribility, I think that's common knowledge on here.
Problem is, Palins favoribility is lower than Obamas approval,and that is a big problem for her.
Her Favoribility in most polls is around 43, give or take 1 or 2, and Obama's approval average (RCP) is 49.9. She is catching up sure, but the facts speak for themselves, she does not have the statistical support of the greater public, at least not now. So no one on here has any justification for acting like she has the support of "The People".
I will admit to changing the subject because the polling argument wasn't working, and honestly, if present trends continue, it wont be for long.
"some Liberal Fruitcake"
Well she certainly isn't that, but she could very easily be a conservative fruitcake. I agree with her on almost every issue, but that doesnt mean she cant have the same spineless mindless domestic policy that Bush had.
"This is a little peak"? Your high school English teacher would be ashamed!
Can't say that I like her all that much but I'm ecstatic the progressives are pissing their pants in fear. Now that's what I'm talking about!
4:1 odds with.
You brought up Bush in the first sentence…
You forgot to mention Bush again…
You forgot to mention Bush…
I know — it's because I know you hate it. He's all yours, a clusterscrewup extreme, he whose name must not be spoken but who made Jimmy Carter SECOND worst president in history. Heckuva job.
Oh please, she is not dangerous at all. This illusion from the Conservative Right has no experience whatsoever, having been a Mayor for a podunk town and then Governor of Alaska; what are there 200 people? No, I'm sorry she just has no experience like Obama does since he was a…er, ah, well he was a community organizer, yeah that's right, that's the ticket. See, she can't compare with the experience that Obama brings to the scene. Can she?
Give 'em he!! Sarah!
Correct, I don't get the visceral hatred either. I think there's a lot of fear on the left's part. Fear that she is a feminist in a true sense of the word, but is married and has kids. Which the liberals have a hard time with, and that she is not liberal, and that being married is not dependent and defined by it. Sarah seems, to me anyway, a self sufficient straight shooting conservative. This does not square with liberal orthodoxy.
"This Palin mania is almost as bad as Obama mania." That I can agree with. When it comes to politicians, any mania is bad. I like Sarah, but so far the attitude of her supporters hasn't disturbed me, however that can change. 0beyme's supporters DO disturb me, even when it is my sister, & brother-in-law.
Thanks for responding with a different perspective on Sarah Palin, and will keep what you said in mind.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!
Yes I put the repucrats in the same barrel because they are one and the same. BOTH gov parties are allies and both bankrupted this country… I thought this country would have it’s fill of rock stars by now… I know you demand answers and your are the bad guy.. The question is do want answers or do you want me simply to agree?
BO should have NEVER been elected..He won being a rock star… Just because I know the dempubs caused this mess I am the bad guy? We have been going down this path a long time BO is simply using the tools the parties gave him.. I don't know what is worse debating a liberal or a conservative.. both have closed minds and are full of hate..
I don't hate her? I want people to ask questions. I point to her throwing in with Mc Cain who supported AMNESTY and cap and trade.. That means she supported those things..lowering taxes is always a good thing, but is she looking out for working people or the party line?
BO shouldn't be president..
no body at this time.. but i did like duncan Hunter, but he never had a shot. Sorry when you accept the VP spot then you support those positions.. AMNESTY is a killer for me..We got one rock star in office who was never questioned I don't think we can afford another.. You want truly make difference in HC send the illegals home and who is saying that?
Is that an excuse for not standing up? We have a country full of people say me me me me,, and few say I will stand up.. Sorry I feel the reason our country is screwed up because too many don't know what it feels like to protect this country. It is good to have a volunteer force it keeps the selfish away. because it is a sacrifice to serve our country. and you must sacrifice to protect your fellow soldier..
Sarah Palin is Kryptonite to Lefties everywhere. They get all weak in the knees and shiver in thier boots at the mere mention of her name. The new book being on the top of the best seller list, the tour and being on every significant talk show, even Oprah, guarantees that Sarah's name is mentioned every 33 seconds all day long! I bet Obama will have to slam her next just like Rush and Fox News! I love it! It's deeeeeeelicious!
Yes I did.. and only because he served.. his policies sucked. and this goes backed to choosing between two evils..but that is what we get with the party system..
my ilk? please explain….i want real answers instead puff questions… If people demanded answers and real questions BO might have been defeated, but I doubt it.. because people treat politics like a game when it is in FACT life and death..
then her son can run some day.. i don't want power.. I want accountability, fair elections, and honor. sorry she could have turned down the vp spot, but she didn't.. She still wears the R.. and means she still an ally of the D.. now for hoffman he was the best choice and besides it was 912 and teaparties that back him first.. It was 912 members that encouraged him to run, to make a stand..It was the right thing to back hoffman.
while investing all our resources invading a country that posed no threat to us under the pretense that they were allied with bin Ladin and had a nuclear program that was an imminent threat? (Both bald-faced lies).
Yes, those are both bald-faced lies you guys make about the reasons for invading Iraq. Which, oddly enough, makes you the loons.
You might also want to look up who was supporting Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae… and who called for said organizations to be regulated.
Otherwise, you seem to be using the usual progg "overwhelm them with talking points" method of "debating" someone, whilst playing the Moby game.
lmao.. she could have turned down the spot, but she didn't.. the reason we have BO is because people refused to hold him accountable.. it was that rock star crap.. and see happening again but this time with palin.. she might be the best we can get but shouldn't we ask some real questions first?
No, you do not want people to ask questions. You want people to have the "answers" you want.
Hint: she was McCain's running mate. That means she had to show a united front and follow his lead since McCain was the one running for President. It's called politics.
Hint2: She has a facebook account. Maybe if you're soooo interested in "questions" you might want to go see if the answers are there. I believe she's also written a book. Perhaps you should look into that, maybe even wait for it to hit the libraries so you don't have to give her money.
But no, you'd rather be here pretending to want questions asked while making it clear you already decided what the answers are.
She chose to be VP.. she could have said NO and should have,…that means she supports Amnesty and a cap and trade and the bank bailouts.. I am tired of excuses and that is what you are doing excusing an action that speaks volumes. this is like I voted for something before I voted against it.. By your standard you can't hold BO accountable for any thing…
Well, Obamas supporters have the distinction that they actually support his real nut job idealogy. I can say many things, but Palins Idealogy is very close to my own.
And right back at ya, have a Good One!
I think the Numbers speak for themselves.
As always, we will just have to wait and see how sad the comeback is.
"a clusterscrewup extreme"
Your absolutely right, Bush was a "Clusterscrewup extreme" mainly beacuse he helped saddle us with the current bout of Jackasses.
But why cant you just say Clusterfuck? We know exactly what you mean to say, but it just takes the bang out of your arguments.
Its like if I was gonna say I'm gonna kick the shit out of you, but instead I said I'm gonna kick the poop out of you. It makes us wonder what is going on in that Liberal brain of yours.
Why bother to self censure yourself for an audience which is most decisively against you?
That was pretty funny…
Palins performance against Biden was nothing special. In fact, I think Biden came out slightly better of it. They both went round and round each other with the usual egotistical Political Speech. Neither one of them has the knowledge or will power to throw a good punch, even though that's what it takes to win decisively.
Election debates are such a bore, I wish they were more like Big Hollywood.
Some apparently are arrogant enough to see prior service as a club to beat people over the head with rather than a sacrifice freely given in service to their country.
Do you also brag about how much money you donate to charity? Please, lets see how many noble deeds you can perform and still be a tool.
Oh btw, it's not an "excuse" it's a simple fact. We have a volunteer military. Some people choose to serve, others do not. They aren't required to have a good or bad reason to do or do not. You seem to be proof that even serving in the military does not make one a great person.
That's fine. There are plenty of decent people who have served… and have not.
Of course. They just say she quit without any details, making it look like she just decided to do so for no reason. A little research into the nature of the fake "ethics" charges and what it was costing both her and the state of Alaska makes the situation look a wee bit different than what shazama wants it to look like.
I like Hunter as well and I am not supporting anyone now either . It is too far off anyway. I agree about amnesty but I blame the government not mexs primarily and I absolutely agree with you on unvetted rockstars of little substance. I looked at mccain like an old pair of shoes , at least we would have know what we were getting. I did not think we needed a new pair of shoes with the predictable blisters. I was right.
I just don't like all the savaging of Palin . She seems like a decent lady and she is just trying to make a buck. I never liked bullies and she seems to attract a lot of punks who want to bully her from a distance. I am getting to like the funny way of talking and the moose hunting and everything.
she does have 5 kids some pretty young and a son in Iraq. she is better than me.
Obama is dumber than Sarah . She never would have supported his failed stimulus,cash for clunkers, hc , interfering with sane energy policy , cap and trade , KSM in NYC etc which are his Katrina. If only we had a real media.
arrogant? Donate? Our servce members donated their life and limb? you seem to be camparing duty to a job.or to a charity… With out people standing up there would be no country.. no liberty.. and why not use it as a club, but wait while I wipe the spit off my shirt.. our country has not taken care of the soldiers or vets. and that means all the decent people.. POLITICIANS are taking our liberty away one tax, one regulation, one manipulation at a time and all in the name of public good or is it party good or is it gov. good. It is so hard to tell these days and I will not apologize for demanding our politicians Have honor and accountability from the one place I know has it in abundance. The military..
Actually 'clusterfuck' is the term I would have used – but my experience with this site and its filters haven't permitted 'clusterfuck' — uniquely since clusterfuck is a Republoteabaggerist product each and every time. Let's see if clusterfuck will fly.
Another troll getting $10 a post in his mother's basement, folks. Noting to see here, move along. Sonny, time to get a real job, and GET OFF THAT COMPUTER!!!
TERM LIMITS FOR ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS!
And, yes, I am shouting.
palin is nice person..and good politician… the libs are not hurting her.. they have I hope destroyed themselves..
Something tells me the one clinging to excuses is you. You don't like Sarah Palin and you cling to whatever you can find to excuse that dislike, even when one points out your reasons aren't quite what you want them to be.
Fine. Whatever. You've already proven yourself not worth my time.
Try learning a little grammar and punctuation before you post here. For instance, the difference between your and you're (a contraction of you are); how to use apostrophes for contractions like she's for 'she is; the best way to construct a sentence with the appropriate use of commas; how not to make run-on sentences; when to use capital letters and when not to use them. Your writing might be more coherent and have more impact if you do. Then maybe people will listen to your opinion.
I'm mjust glad they didn't change their tune, just the subject. For eight years all we heard was that W was a Texas moron who organized the WTC implosions, won re-election illegally and organized a takeover of Iraqi oil fields all while not being able to put two cohereant sentances together. Welccome to 2009!
that right run..I don't dislike palin..
No, I am not comparing duty to a charity, I am grouping them as noble deeds which people like you will use as an excuse to belittle others. Oh and please cut the melodramatic whinge about spit. Prior service in the military doesn't make you beyond reproach for future disgusting statements or deeds you might perform.
You serve your country, donate to charity, and/or help people because it's the right thing to do, not because you can get praised for it or use the fact that you did the right thing as a club. Why not us it as a club, you ask? Because it is dishonorable and the thing a slimy weasel would do because concepts like service or sacrifice aren't real to him, just a tool he can cynically use to gain praise, attack people or hide behind.
For all your complaints about politicians, you act like the worst of them.
…and the usual response of the attention-starved troll. When threatened with the thought of being ignored, start making taunts about running away.
Keep digging, little one.
I think its pretty common knowledge that its kinda rude to go after people on Grammar on the internet, when its not an extreme case.
Substantive arguments are okay, and I'm sure you have them, so use those rather than resorting to petty comments about peoples spelling. I think we are all mature enough to move past that stuff, its a classic troll move.
Not gonna dignify more comments like that with a response.
and Biden was a senator for 36 years and the best he could do is a toss up against a hockey mom? gaffetastic joe has been playing in the in big leagues since Sarah was in grade school and he can barely hold his own in a national debate? a small town mayor/small state (by population) governor should have been completely outclassed by this heavyweight from Dover & DC, but the scrappy bantamweight from Wasilla & Juneau gave him a real run for his money.
i'm gonna let y'all in a little secret: Sarah ain't as dumb as a lot of folks want to believe and Barry & Joe ain't anywhere near as smart as these same folks think either. but there are far worse positions than being consistently underestimated by your enemies…
Pls learn how to use the apostrophe.
right, left, middle who cares any more, Obama, Palin, one of them will change our lives, one will make it worse the other will make it better, take your pick.
agree no more lawyers
make the bumper stickers and sell over internet, and clean up and donate some money to their campaign
A community organizer has about as much leadership experience as some guy driving an ice cream truck.
Please stop abbreviating words like "please"
Ass.
You mean…she's become…a CELEBRITY!!! AAiieee!
As an agnostic and Conservative, I feel exactly the way you do. What brought me to Conservatism several years ago, was NOT religion, it was NOT the social conservative issues. It was limited governent, individual liberty, national security and fiscal responsibilty.
Those are the "values" that will get more people on our side, more so than any Bible thumping. But I think that will come later, not by conversion but because the social issues involve personal responsibility as well and that is what will ultimately attract people.
The term "Death Panels" is hyperbole for the concept of the government deciding who shall be given treatment based upon the cost and the patient's expected remaining years of life. It has the benefit of exaggeration for effect in addition to being much easier to say than "the concept of the government deciding who shall be given treatment based upon the cost and the patient's expected remaining years of life". There does not have to be an actual panel named "Death" for her point to be made.
Sarah Palin doesn't scare me, her sheeple do.
And it's "peek" not "peak" moron. The latter is what Sarah Palin did in her aspirations to be the president less than a yeasr ago. Now all she has to do to make sure she doesn't become president is, well…, keep on doing what she is doing now. Ignoring facts and "elites" and pander to the lowest, most uneducated, trailer trash out there, you know "real America"…
"do you all really think conservatives are that stupid.?"
Well, yes. Reading through this thread provide one with all the proof one needs to reach that correct conclusion. Even the author who is paid to write can't seem to use the correct wording to make his point…
So, yes, basically Sarah Palin's supporters are uneducated, flat-earth, knowledge hating troglodytes who hate America because they wanted to "stay the course" with their party and finish W's job of decimating the economy, war mongering all over the world, and tearing down the wall of separation church and state…
Now that I have yor attention your actions are the same as a libs. I go to lib land and they close their minds. I come to con land and they close their mind and thus the problem with our country.. You treat this like a football game when in fact it is our lives. The R&D have bankrupted our country through the election laws and gerrymandering..they use the power of the government to maintain their power. this is why 85% of incumbents are re elected.. it is why they refused to listen..
that is right BO is a user and getting our people killed. that is why we can't fall into this rock star mentallity.. people are dieing because the people didn't demand hard questions and real answers. where is the politician demanding the illegals go home? they are not and will not because of PC and because both the R&D want them here.
why not use the events of the past? why not use the events of the present.. why not say the truth? Just because you don't want to hear it? because it hurt your feelings or is it you defending something else? we are now reading terrorist their rights on the battle field and where is the outrage.. our troops are being used as police officers and the vietnam mentality has gotten people killed.. I will use anything I can to stop this crap.
This is the same logic liberals used when the Iraq War became unpopular and it was politically expedient to put all the blame on George Bush. They insisted he was an incompetent moron who tricked the liberal anti-war geniuses in Congress and the media into supporting the Iraq War.
she is not better than you..she is your equal..
You have said many true things, and cited polls, congrats. But excuse me. You wrote "Remind me again why her approval ratings are lower than Obamas…Of the people? Give me an f'ing break" and now are forced to concede the argument. It's fine by me if you want to spout off but it might help if you use truth as your guide before launching into an argument. Who knows what else you might be saying? I think I'm going to put you on "follow"… =D see ya round!
you marry a drug dealer, it makes you a drug dealer..
Look in the mirror to find the troll!! I am 47, 3rd generation Army with 2 grown kids! I pay over $27K a year in Income taxes, which is probably more than you make in a year, so $10 is not SH_T to me!
Read the links, use that wasted mass you call a brain instead of throwing out your usual half wit insults and igonroing reality because you are p-ssed that a black man came into office and is now charged with cleaning up the financial mess left by the likes of Reagan and W who tripled and doubled the deficit respectively.
If you want to take the time to provide facts to refute the links I provided, go for it. Otherwise, get back to being misreable with your life!
It is not hyperbole, it is fanning the flames of ignorance for the ignorant! Again, did you read her statement in support of the VERY same verbiage included in the current legislation???? So if she supported the EXACT SAME SERVICE as Governor in 2006, was she looking to kill off Seniors then??? OF COURSE NOT!
The government does NOT decide for the patient in current end of life counseling that was brought into law under the GOP Congress in 2003 as part of Medicare and Medicaid!
It's bullsh-t rhetoric meant to push the buttons of the ignorant and uninformed, PERIOD!
The press will destroy her?
I don't think so.
Because what else can they do to HER that isn't old and boring by now?
What the press can do is the same to a NEW target as they did to her. And does anyone think they won't, if the Republicans can find someone fresh and new and without the baggage? So we might as well stick with her and plan to roll our eyes at the "same old" slanders "that we've been hearing for the last four years."
In fact, so much of the criticism of Palin was so entirely gratuitous… does anyone remember "Hoochi-hoop-gate"?.. that even if the press or Obama's people came up with something new that actually *was* legitimate they might not even be able to make it stick. That old "cry wolf" thing. It works.
Again, what is Cons aversion to facts???? Fact, Sarah Palin gave a public statement in support of wwhat she now calls Death Panels, fact.
Fact, Fox News posted a story saying Obama spent more in fiscal 2009 than any previous President, but CONVENIENTLY left out that the 2009 SPENDING Budget was submitted to Congress by G W Bush, fact.
Hope and Change are working for me because I believe we need to change form the free spending ways of the GOP (Reagan & Bushs' = $9.8T added to deficit, Clinton & Carter = $1.4T added to deficit)…I still hope that we can recover from the damage done by W.
Realize for those that are looking for the failure of America that Hope and Change are a horrible thing.
Not sure how I as an I.T. Consultant making 6 figures with grown kids is feeding from the public trough??? Sh-t I even pay my own way for Medical coverage, I don't have some company supporting my premiums! Matter of fact, I paid mor in overall taxes than the median individual income in America!
So stick to the points, facts and issues at hand.
Congratulations – six figures is well above the national average (that wouldn't be bragging, would it?). I'm immensely proud of you that you would be responsible enough to pay for your own medical coverage – so many of your kind would rather wait for the handouts (which will never fully cover it anyway). You'll be paying even more for it one way or another if Obama-care comes to fruition. And, I'm sure, still blaming Bush and conservatives for it instead of who you should really pin the blame on (look in your mirror).
"Death Panels" or whatever you want to call them are still in both versions of ObamaCare. Fact. So are several other things that many of us "Cons" find unacceptable (coverage of abortions, coverage for illegal aliens, and on and on and on). A rose by any other name… Some kind of insurance and doctor panel (which is what SP supported) wouldn't carry the same degree of finality as a government panel. With the former, there's such a thing as a second opinion, the latter is like a conviction and death sentence in a court of law, with no appeals.
So what if GW Bush submitted that bill to Congress – they didn't have to accept it and fearless leader didn't have to sign it when it passed. And how much of it was really GW Bush's? I seem to remember that the House & Senate are Dim-controlled. Barney Franks and Chris Dodd carry the majority of the blame for the Fannie & Freddie follies. W left us a fire in the kitchen that could have been easily put out with proper legislation, but Obama and his minions in the House and Senate chose to throw gasoline on it and look what we have now? And the bailouts are a defacto nationalization of major industries (banking, auto, etc). I'm sure that Castro and Chavez are proud of their little progressive socialist protege.
Why don't you stop trying to distort the facts and muddling the issues at hand? You strike me as someone that's already had about a gallon of the progressive socialist kool aid and there's no use trying to change your mind. And enjoy paying your higher taxes and health care costs – they'll only get worse with what's coming from your beloved leader and his autocratic supporters in the House & Senate.
Now I know you were bragging in your previous post. I myself just retired after 32 years of service in the Army, and there are numerous other veterans posting here – so at ease with that breast-beating and how better off you are than the rest of us proles here. And the majority of the posters here don't sound nearly half as miserable as you do, even if you make so much money, so why don't you just move on and stop with the hysterics?
Anti science? like pimping the ruse of Global Warming?
It's funny how you get more and more agitated with each post. Looks like the only person who's buttons arte being pushed is you. Somehow I doubt you served in our great military but if you did, thank you for your service. Other than that, fuck off with your twisting of facts and bullshit links to leftist websites.
The "people" refers to the U.S. Constitution, moron.
"and now are forced to concede the argument."
I concede nothing. Her approval #'s are still lower than Obamas, as is her favoribility. I was just pointing out that if she can keep some momentum she will change that soon.
"It's fine by me if you want to spout off but it might help if you use truth as your guide before launching into an argument. Who knows what else you might be saying? I think I'm going to put you on "follow"
Cheeky Bastard
Well, the US constitution is referring to the Citizens of the then Colonies, now United States. A majority of the people do not support Sarah Palin. That might change, but statistically…
You are boring!
Blah blah blah, Palin this and Palin that.
Pailin's book has already sold more copies that Hillary "The Cow" Clinton ever did!
I want to thank all of you for reading my fist year on BH. As to my lack of spelling abality: Guilty! I was taught to read using the "whole word" method and was never taught phonics. My 10 year old son is a spelling savant so I know it's not genetic. I make mistakes that even spell check doesn't catch.
If in your mind my poor spelling or lack of editorial skill lessens the humor or truth of what I write then so be it.
Exactly my point! WHo needs facts, all you need is blah, blah, blah…ANd even more to the point, you expose the exact ignorance that permeates the low brow, bottom of the food chain portion of Cons…
Sarah is purty, so buy her book…Hillary "The Cow"? Class all the way there Bill…5321, which is your age and which is your IQ?
So we can safely assume if Sarah weighed 275 lbs. you and the rest of the "you betcha" crowd would deem her a Cow and have no interest in her?
The Founding Fathers would read the ignorance of these posts by our esteemed Right and wonder why they even bothered…
thanks for the kind words…
it's because like all of the 'ism' movements- communist, humanist, etc- they are all about the ultimate goal- one world secular government…
In other words, your demands for honor and accountability are meaningless.
Anything, eh? You do indeed act like the worst of the politicians you hate. Actually, you are starting to argue like the usual progg trolls who wander into here. Thinking you can use partial truths as the whole story to libel and defame people you dislike.
Yeah, that'll prove your devotion to honor and accountability. Or lack thereof.
Yawn. More attention-starved whingeing. Plus projection.
Yeah, no one gallops to hop on your bandwagon so obviously they don't care about what's happening.
Completely done with you now.
Blah, blah you little tool, we know you're a LIAR and need to get a job! Your immense ignorance is exceeded only by your arrogance.
It's not about the well being of women. Hasn't been for decades. It's about promoting a particular agenda that many people don't like (see dcase's post) under the guise of liberating women.
Privatize the whales! ^__^
I think Sarah's doing a great job where she is. She's not my pick for 2012 – I think she can do the most good as a spokesperson for conservatives, particularly rural conservatives. She should use her power to rally voters for 2010 and 2012. She's still young – and I think running for VP and dealing with the aftermath could be part of an education that could turn her into a great leader. Right now I think she needs more time.
