Palin is a Role Model...!

[Guest]

for women and other reformers....

This is what Sen. McCain said.....does he even know what he is saying!!

Are we, as women, reformers??? Why isn't she a rold model for men...that aren't reformers.....well ofcourse there is always Joe 6 Pack!

What a good old boy attitude!!

[Guest]

I can't imagine what she'd be a role model for! She's under investigation for abuse of power as governor; her young daughter is pregnant out of wedlock; her interviews on CBS news show her to be uninformed - does she even read a newspaper? She's set women's rights back about 100 years... you "betcha"...

[Guest]

My wife said the same thing lastnight while watching the debate. Not a roll model for her. McCain stood up for her, as he should have. But by far the roll model he insist.

[Guest]

My how the fur flies. Wonder if the same would be said about her if she was a democrat?? Te Hee

[Guest]

I believe it would indeed be the same if she were a Dem....if the behavior is the same....there are many democrats that are just as bad!!!
But it was just the way he said it...a role model for woman...give me a break!

[Guest]

I sincerely hope the same would be said regardless of what her political affiliation. She is certainly not someone I want my daughter to hold in high regard. The abuse of power issues are a big thing in my mind both when she was mayor and while governor. I won't comment about her daughter -- that is a personal, private issue and something that could happen in any family. She does fine so long as she can follow the party rhetoric but if she has to speak extemporaneously, she is frightening in her lack of knowledge.

Her plusses just aren't enough. To me, the fact she is pretty is irrelevant. There is no question she has been willing to stand up for what she feels is right and that is a tremendous plus. She is charismatic and a good speaker. She can get down to a level that is easily understood.

I was not thrilled with the choice of Gov Palin....didnt and do not like it,

HOWEVER, if you all would visit SNOPES or FACTCHECK or anywhere you want to take care of most if not all of your concerns. She is not a bad person as you might imply...she did nothing wrong and if you read the thread I began about Sen Biden, that is MUCH MUCH WORSE, but we dont mention that...wonder why ? Well, if she were a Democrat she would be hailed and frankly I could understand that....what Sen Biden did with the money was much worse than making a phone call...and if you want more on Sen Biden I will be glad to give them to you but that does not make Sen Biden a bad man NOR DOES it mean that he is a role model for anyone either.

I am a Democrat. Trust me. Palin would not be hailed. She would be the embarrassment she is to the Republicans. Very, very poor choice. :sad:

And no comments on Sen Biden ???? :)

[Guest]

As I have stated in other posts, how can any of you in good conscience single Palin out for the things the media/politico microscope?
My question, AGAIN, is why isn't the same scrutiny applied to the lechers, liars, thieves, whore mongering politicians already holding office in the Senate? the Congress? State or city positions?

Not only is it over looked....it must be accepted. Some of these low or no ethics people have been re elected multiple times.

To single out Palin is nothing more than prejudiced rhetoric for the self satisfaction of the partisan oriented thought process....I assume it is a process!

Some may be so far along it is a natural reaction like blinking.....no thought required....it just happens.

If you are going to try to act as though there is some magical standards for politicians....please try to apply it across the board and then priortize where the bigger problem is. I am sure the Palin petty bu comparison issues, real or not can't compete with the all too many trash ethic incumbents .

Of course, you would think that of Sarah Palin, ladies. The media has shaped and formed everything they want you to know so you will elect their candidate. They threw a blanket over Joe Biden and he gets a pass for the idiotic things he's said and done.

[Guest]

I totally agree with Billethkid and Peachie. We say we're tired of the hypocrites in DC and want a change. Then when someone new and different comes along, we compare the person with the people in DC we want to see out of office. I wonder if our forefathers would have met with the present standard we seem to have.

I don't think the media shaped and formed Palin at all. I think it was the McCain campaign itself that kept her under wraps and threw her into the deep end.

Also, Belle, with all due respect, people want change not dumb.
Just my opinion.

[Guest]

I didn't care for Hillary too much. Compared to Sarah she is an absolute professional. She is a role model for women. Look at all the abuse she took from the media.

Remember the personal attack by John McCain?

Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno!

John McCain.......... always in the gutter.

[Guest]

If she was a Democrat she would praised up one side and down the other. I knew McCain's choice for VP would be crucified, but this has been way over the top. Makes me think the Dems must be worried about the votes she might take away from them.

That is horrible!! No reason for crap like that coming from anyone's mouth...but especially to be so nasty! He obviously is a sexist....he chose the cheerleader, soccer mom over somone like Condie Rice...who is smarter than McCain and Obama and Biden put together....but still has some secrets of her own....I am sure...

But she would have been a "smarter" choice for McCain....

Yes there are some women in government that are very smart.....but I am not sure I would consider them role models....too much dirt and scandal around most of them....just like their male counter parts...

As far as a role model....how about Billie Jean King? How about Dara Torres? Air Force Maj. Nicole Malachowski? Oprah? Mother Theresa?

Here are many more....and I am sure the list goes on...anyone want to add more...

Hey, kids, take a look at the most recent polls. I don't think the Democrats are worried about anything.

We all know by now that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hates socialism. Unless it's socialism for her family.

Palin, who loves painting herself as a self-reliant woman who likes to say, "Thanks, but no thanks" to unnecessary government spending, is always on the lookout for a freebie, even if it means playing it fast and loose with the law. While she ridicules Sen. Barack Obama's plan to "spread the wealth" to people who actually need it, Palin is seeking more of the socialism for the wealthy pioneered by President George W. Bush. In fact, the motto of the GOP since Ronald Reagan has been "spread more wealth to the financially avaricious rich by pickpocketing the working class."

New reports of Palin's misspending government funds for personal financial benefit emerged from an Associated Press investigation this week. Palin charged taxpayers over $20,000 to pay for her daughters to travel with her to events to which they were not invited, including 64 one-way and 12 round-trip tickets, as well as the girls' own expensive hotel rooms. In all, previous reports have estimated Palin charged taxpayers more than $43,000 in travel expenses for family members.

If that weren't enough, it seems Palin lied on official reimbursement forms, saying the girls were invited when, according to organizers of the events, they were not. But it doesn't stop there. Apparently, after she was tapped as Sen. John McCain's running mate, Palin went back and amended the expense reports with language to make the travel sound like official business, as is necessary for reimbursement under Alaska state law. So on top of being a freeloader at taxpayer expense, she altered financial documents to misrepresent unjustified personal expenses paid for by "average Joes."

If this rip-off occurred just once, one might be able to write it off as a lapse in judgment. Unfortunately for Palin, it comes on the heels of reports of other questionable "write offs," adding up to what appears to be a pattern of abuse. In short, we are learning that Palin is not the self-reliant opponent of government spending that she claims to be. She's more like the welfare queen from Wasilla.

The state is already looking into the possibility of the impropriety in $17,000 of Palin's claim for per diem pay. The money was apparently paid to her for "travel expenses" incurred on nights she spent at her home in Wasilla, AK. The money is supposed to be used for when an official travels on state business, not for a commute from an Anchorage office to a home in Wasilla. Is it part of "the real America" to steal from the taxpayer? Palin receives a governor's salary, from which she is expected to pay -- like any average small town American -- her home expenses. But she chose to have taxpayers pick up the tab.

It's important to note that Palin is not continuing any Alaskan gubernatorial tradition of defrauding taxpayers. The only Alaska governor to have school-age children while serving in recent memory is Tony Knowles, Democratic governor of the state from 1994 to 2002. Knowles told the AP he had never charged the state for his children's travel. Knowles also said that he prohibited Alaskan commissioners from charging per diem allowances when staying at home, no matter where their home was located.

One Alaskan tradition exhibiting tendencies of socialism is the oil and gas rebate checks. Last year, Alaskan residents received a $1,654 check as a dividend from oil revenues in the state. Now, thanks to an initiative backed by Palin, each Alaskan (including Palin, her husband and children) will get $1,200 more to help pay for energy cost increases. Apparently the almost $10,000 the Palin family received last year wasn't enough to heat their Wasilla lakefront home.

Now that she's a vice presidential candidate, Palin can stop relying on Alaskan taxpayers to foot the bill. Instead, it is donors to the Republican National Committee who pay her way these days.

The RNC spent $150,000 on the appearance of Palin and her family in September alone. Shopping sprees to high-end stores such as Neiman Marcus and Saks reveal thousands spent on Palin, her husband and even baby Trig.

No similar expenses could be attributed to the spending of the DNC or the Obama/Biden campaign. In fact, Obama still goes to his neighborhood barber of 11 years, where he spends $20 for a haircut, out of his own pocket.

So much for "Palin the Wal-Mart mom."

It's more than just tacky to spend donors' money on luxury clothing for one's family, it may actually violate the Federal Election Commission's prohibition against personal expenses.

Palin is clearly used to getting a free lunch. Her record as a reformer is as thin as tissue paper. Her claim that she said "No thanks" to the bridge to nowhere? Bogus. Her selling the governor's private jet on eBay? It was eventually sold, but not online, and at a loss. Not only that, but when you charge the state to fly you and your family around, and when you sell the state's plane for less than it's actually worth, that's a weak argument of fiscal responsibility. It's more like bragging about losing money.

Aside from the fact that she may face legal problems in the future for her misleading statements and questionable splurges, our problem with Palin is her misleading stories to the American people and questionable values. Her constant evocation of Joe the "Plumber," her claims of cutting government waste, and her middle class values are all lies. The truth is that, although the Palins are worth well over $1 million, the governor still feels entitled to dip her hand in the collective cookie jar. She's a freeloader, not a reformer. And the taxpayers and political donors are paying the tab for her personal expenses.

This was a pattern that first became clear when she was Mayor of Wasilla, when she showed no hesitation in taking advantage of freebies and using public funds for a lavish redecoration of her mayoral office, among other unnecessary expenses.

What's to say she won't continue in this same pattern of abuse once she's in the executive branch of the nation? Despite her populist posturing and rhetoric, it's clear she favors continuing Bush's socialism for the rich, and by extension, for herself. And the taxpayer keeps getting stuck with the bill. Palin has done very well living off of the public treasury, very well indeed.

Wonder if Joe the Plumber can get a $150,000 donation from the RNC to help his busniess. Oh forgot he dont shop at Neiman Marcus for Plumbers Uniforms. Better yet the investigation on how She spent all that money billed to Alaska for her family to travel all over and stay at the Taj-Mahal in every city she visited.

Priceless, bimmertl!....I also liked the picture of her being "blessed" by a witchdoctor. I just cannot fathom anyone like her being chosed to be VP.

[Guest]

people seem to think they know about a new comer like Palin. It is what I elect to call media/partisan channeled lack of real knowledge.
Proof? Why do they know so much about her? Just watch the media....any media. Now how much do they know about the lechers, liars, thieves, whore mongering, do nothing incumbents in Washington DC??? Absolutely nothing.
Why? Because the media isn't chirping about them until they get caught.
The system is clogged with these tenured, do nothing so called representatives.
And they magically get re elected over and over again.
The self anointed Palin knowledgeable need to scrutinize the real culprits with the same power magnifying glass.:shrug::shrug: (where is the falling down laughing icon when ya need it???)

Governor Palin is absolutely an inspiring role model for young women. Despite what the pundits say about her, she has brains, she is not afraid to go for the political American dream, not afraid to try to grab "the big brass ring". She doesn't expect anyone to hand her anything, she is out there everyday fighting and asking for each and every vote. There is nothing fake about her, she is a real American woman and I am very proud of her. We couldn't have a better person setting the precedent for a woman aspiring to be VP.

Forget the "pundits", listen to her. She's clueless. Had no idea of the role of the VP, abused power in Alaska, thinks some places in the US are more "patriotic" than others, etc. etc. She's a joke.

While she "doesn't expect anyone to hand her anything" she sure readily accepted the $150K in clothes etc. from the RNC.

You should have stuck with your initial pick for president, Duncan Hunter, how did that work out for you?

Love that you are a Sag...and I love your avatar and still want copy....

BUT I absolutely disagree with you on this. She may have made her way in as governor of a state that has a very small population....She may have been Mayor of an even smaller town...She may have been manager of who knows what....doesn't matter if she was Queen somewhere...the minute she opens her mouth...whether presumably educated or not....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It is SO scary to listen to her....and I have...many times....debate and speeches alike....

I really have tried...for the sake of being a woman....could I possibly be wrong.....should I vote because she is a woman?? These are the thoughts that run through my mind...as a woman with a daughter....growing up in this country in 2008....could a woman be VP and someday President of our country....how far we have come.....BUT there is no way I can do it. Not her!

ANYONE BUT HER.....hillary...condilesa....my own mother....anyone but her!! It truly is very scary to me....scarier than any thoughts or facts I may know or think about Obama....even McCain's righteous acts over the years can not out way this thought.


Ok....I came back into Political....I can breathe again...but it was just stuck in there and I needed to get it out. Thank you oshunluva for unleashing me!! Still think you are pretty cool...even though we disagree!!

California GOvernor Schwarzenneger (sp) was saying good things about her last night. He says when he won the governorship in Ca. there were many things that he didn't know but he was willing to learn and lead and that is what Gov. Palin is going to do.

He knew what he was getting into....look who he is married to....a whole family of politicians....

And ofcourse he is going to back her he is a Republican!!!

[Guest]

No doubt about that fumar. She is a bright lady and comes from a very nice family. They are close knit, kind to each other and have nothing to hide. She is too good to be true and all of her critics can't stand the fact that she is everyday and not part of the hollyweird or washington crowd.

She is not MY everyday......or anyone else's that I know....granted that is not a lot of people....in comparison....but even McCain looks uneasy letting her talk.....

The RNC will. As long as they forget about the Campaign reform that Sen McCain complained about years back,, You know clinton getting a 200.00 haircut and the 299.00 bow-tie and so on. I wonder if Joe has hit them up for some money so they talk about him so much.. Just in from the tele-type, if joe sells his house, still would be 23,000 short of the Palin shopping spree.

hammer at petty stuff like what she paid for clothes...as if it matters...do we have any idea what others paid? I know this is a challenging question for those who rely on media/partisan input only? Why a challenge? Because it is not consistent or relevant to cloud the issue with facts.

You all need to rise above the imaginary level you tend to measure the opposition. For example the negatives some of you point out fit the majority of American females. That results in...so what?

C'mon get really into it. Get all the seedy character incumbents like Edwards and Stearns...wealthy...$400 haircuts...private jets....nice family...say anything to impress the voters....cheating whore mongers...who manage to get re elected. Just to name a few.

Abuse of power? You must be kidding. Let's see what would you call Nancy Pelosi's open opposition to solving energy independence?

When you have the same level of knowledge about the dregs allowed to stay in office, then you can compare how Palin stacks up.

Until then all you are doing is parroting the media and the party...that is not knowledge.

Yeah, she even goes for the big game in Alaska. She shoots animals that can't protect themselves, using semi-automatic rifles from a helicopter. Oh, and by the way she spends $150,000. on a cloths shopping spree. OH WHAT A ROLE MODEL. :yuck:

[QUOTE=oshunluva;168939]"Governor Palin is absolutely an inspiring role model for young women."

This is by far my favorite line. No doubt millions of young women want to have a husband who doesn't have a job and a daughter who is unmarried and pregnant at 17 and allegedly going to marry the 18 year old future father who is a high school dropout.

I can hear the inspired young women all over America saying, as they sit in their trailer parks, "wow, the Palins are just like us"!

Maybe, as osh has previously so eloquently stated in another thread, if they pray harder, things will just turn out great.

some of you were referred to as self appointed elitists....well it sure comes through in this thread.
The only knowledge you have of the woman is what you see and hear on the media, yet you pontificate as though you had first hand knowledge.

Trailer parks are referred to with a negative connotation.
Now if some body said something about a black president or a black first lady the same of you would be all over that person.

How hypocritical especially with 33rd hand knowledge!!!

Amazing.

I would not need to know where they're from, but I would love to know that they have the ability and knowledge to do their job properly. If that's shallow, so be it.

I think the ultimate is getting Palin on the ticket just to reeve up the conservative base. Whether she's qualified or not. Now that's shallow and that's why so many respected Republicans have stepped way from the McCain/Palin ticket.

[Guest]

She has been a governor of a very important state, she wasn't flipping burgers at McD's for crying out loud!

I'm an Alaskan and very curious to what you mean by very important state?

Most Alaskan's feel we are more often The Forgotten State.

I believe I'm more familiar with Sarah Palin then most posters on this site and I certainly don't think of her as a good role model. She is a talented politician but is certainly not above petty politics and spiteful revenge as we Alaskan's know all to well.

I think if any Governor had the ability to give their residents a state handout of $1200.00 (this was in addition to our annual Permanent Fund Dividend of over $2000.00) they would have an 80% approval rating too. Of course her rating has been dropping lately. I have asked my co-workers and neighbors if they have been polled about Sarah Palin and none have. The majority of them are Republicans and pro Sarah, makes you wonder about those polls.

some of you were referred to as self appointed elitists....well it sure comes through in this thread.
The only knowledge you have of the woman is what you see and hear on the media, yet you pontificate as though you had first hand knowledge.


How insightful. Perhaps Billethkid could enlighten us pontificates, as to Sarah Palin's unique qualifications as role model for women of the United States.

Instead of role model, how about diva?? That description came right from a McCain aide.

It's becoming a train wreck!
