Palin is failing
 

Alaskans are even protesting!! http://www.snopes.com/politics/palin/rally.asp
Her home state even rallies against her!! This is TRUE!!!

I watched this live interview featuring Bill Clinton. Talk about faint praise... I think he knows Hillary was far more qualified than Mr. Obama. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalra...linton-pr.html

So What!!!! I think she is wonderful person, a breath of fresh air and just want our country needs. I do like your quote about LIFE though....

Not sure that 1400 women at a rally in Alaska mean "Palin is Failing". :shocked: However .. interesting viewpoint nevertheless.

I wonder how many attendees there will be at the TV Palin Rally.

OBAMA now leading in major polls!!!
 

HHmmmmmm, funny how the polls are changing. FLIP FLOP!http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5...HFJ3QxSxnVWAEw GALLOP POLL!: http://www.gallup.com/Home.aspx

I agree that this week's polls are showing Obama has his game back.

I think this is going to be a very close election. The debates will be critical.
I just hope that people will make their decisions based on what they hear and see on the debates, and not on the media spin afterward.

It was inevitable!
 

Sarah Palin failing was and is inevitable. The Peter Principal should now be called The Palin Principle. Basically, this is when a person is promoted to a position they cannot handle and is guaranteed failure. It's crystal clear this woman is not ready for this position. I think McCain was a self-serving sexist to put her in this position. He really didn't care if the world liked her or hated her. She was chosen to take the flack off of him. But, I think she was equally at fault for accepting. She shoulda blinked! :icon_wink:

Palin is failing
 

16,000+ tickets passed out to see her here in The Villages. Don't appear she is failing here.

Everyone gawks at car wrecks. Even I have tickets.

I personally know many OBAMA supporters going, to see her "read" her speech. Geez, she didn't even know what Pres. Bush's Doctrine is about!!! OBAMA 08 :2excited: http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/V...5789483&page=1

You tell 'em, Chels. The proof is in the pudding. :thumbup:

The Peter Principal,basically, this is when a person is promoted to a position they cannot handle and is guaranteed failure.
That sounds like the description of Obama.:1rotfl:

Eddie, You know I love ya, but I think you have it all wrong! Palin didn't know what the Doctrine was! Even I knew that! :duck:

Looking through a straw.....
 

sorta like the media does. When there is a quorum, usually more than two people on a subject they want to high light and one holds up a sign that says so and so is failing...it gets reported and repeated.
Yesterday NBC reported the two rallies in FL; Obama and Palin. They showed the lines in Daytona Beach where it was highlighted that "...some 2500..." tickets were handed out to eager participants. Then they went to The Villages and panned up Canal Street talked about the retirement area Palin was going to have a rally in....however there was no pictures of the lines or the 16,000 tickets handed out. I wouldn't have expected anything different from any of the network news.
They look through a straw at the side of an elephant and see gray. They then proceed to report the whole world is now gray. All the loyal parrots proceed to pass along the world is gray.
About the only news of relevance from the networks is pending bad weather, and they make a scary entertainment production out of that....so one is better off looking out the window.

BTK

Agree with C and R
 

Just because all of those people got tickets doesn't mean that they are FOR her...there are also a lot of tickets left...if she was that good...it would be a sell out....

Gray?
 

Strange analogy, but interesting. Why do you suppose the network news is so down on McCain/Palin? It is their job to weed out the truth. You just don't want to hear it! But, like they say, the truth does always will out.

It may still be a sellout. They will pass out tickets again from what I understand.

If they were actually being "Sold" there would be less than that. IMHO! :icon_wink:

Palin's husband and others have ignored subpoena's served on them as part of the state of Alaska's investigation into the firing of a state official. Palin stated she welcomed the investigation until she teamed up with McBush and she then reversed that position.

Exact same disregard for the law exhibited by Karl Rove and Harriet Miers who have ignored subpoena's from the US Congress. So "change" is following the Bush model???

A "breath of fresh air"?? That's hilarious!

AHA!!! Thanks for the info, Bimmer :1rotfl:

The point of the thread had.....
 

nothing to do with how many were left or who had them it was just pure numbers 16,000 VS 2500...nothing more.
Y'all work way to hard at picking fly specks out of the pepper. I suppose with the ready, fire, aim pelting one is bound to hit something....intended or not!

BTK

The media and the truth in the same sentence.......
 

is a real stretch.
Chelsea, the networks are not down on McCain/Palin at all, they are Pelosi like....if it is the other party they are against it. And to give them the credit that it is their job to weed out the truth, while your opinion, is far from their charter. Their charter has absolutely nothing to do with the truth. They will be the first to brag their role is to be first and if it happens to be accurate....all the better. It has been quite commonly known for years the networks are biased.

Truth is truly the end result eventually....it usually comes after all the fluff and what people want to hear is cleared out of the way so we can hear or see it...and in politics.....I look forward to the truth coming out about anything by either party.....politicians have less requirement for truth than the media.

BTK

Sarah's Bubble has Burst! Oops!
 

It appears her bubble has burst in many states.

BTK, I agree! The truth is the one thing that will rise to the top eventually. We saw it in the Bush Adminstration, over and over and over again.

You could pick up 4 at a time.
 

You were allowed to pick up to 4 tickets per person. So, there may have only been 4000 to 5000 people picking up tickets for the Palin rally this Sunday.

I did not see that many people there when I picked up 4 tickets around 9:30 a.m. Friday September 19, 2008.

There were a good number but no where near the crowds I had expected.

We will see tomorrow though. I doubt if they will have the 20,000 they made tickets. This 20,000 tickets made is according to the Villages Daily Sun articles of today.

Rokinronda You say Palin didn't know what the Bush Doctrine was. Neither did Charlie Gibson, or anyone else for that matter. I guess you say you did. It was a gotcha question. There are any number of answers to that question. There is no specific Bush Doctrine.

Chelsea.....I look forward......
 

to the day when you respond to a querry or comment without taking a political shot. I thought for a moment it was your response on truth. The partisan shot included in the answer added no value what so ever.
It must be a challenge to have to weigh everything in terms of political preference.

I find life much more interesting without a constant political slant. That is where one meets more real people. Politics requires too much cameleon like activity for me.....but that is me.

I still look forward to a non political positioning response....one day.....and not necessarily to a post of mine. There are many opportunities.:)

BTK

In view of what's happening NOW with our economy, why would you be voting for 4 more years of Bush-like politics that McCain/Palin represent?

Because it's a lot better than a second Jimmy Carter term.

We have a friend who is active in the Republican party in the Winter Haven area. She could have had as many tickets as she wanted. She got 10 and is driving up with 4 others. In the article in the Daily Sun, it appears the Rep. party here had 20,000 tickets. Who knows how many there actually are. If people are coming from all over, this could be a disaster as far as seeing anything goes etc.

Regardless of who the rally is for you would think, considering just the 20K printed here, that it should have been held somewhere like the polo field.

Good luck to all who plan on attending. I'll be in my less than crowded house tuning into the Directv NFL package.

Attempting to get all these folks into Sumter landing could be a disaster.

SHE'S FALLING ALRIGHT !!! FALLING RIGHT INTO THE VP CHAIR....

THOSE GALS IN ALASKA WERE FROM THE PRO-CHOICE GANG AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO SINCE THEY FLUNKED THEIR COOKIE BAKING CONTEST......... (I think Hillary said that ??).....

Yup, Fumar she is failing and falling into oblivion. :MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot::MOJE_whot:

Nice to see something that makes me laugh in a Political thread. :laugh:

I think many will go for the novelty of the event. Just because people are attending does not mean they support her. I know people that got tickets and have no intention whatsoever of supporting her. I look at the gaffes of the last week by McCain, and I'm surprised that anyone can support the ticket. Squashing the investigation into Troopergate and constantly continuing with the
"Thanks, but no thanks" lie is a disgrace. I guess she believes that old saying "Tell a lie often enough and people will believe it." I think she will be ruthless in seeking power for powers sake. I do not believe she has the people's best interests at heart, but instead has only the interest of Sarah Palin on her mind.

This appears to be a very conservative voting populace here which doesn't really mirror the rest of the country. So, not suprising that she would do well here.

Not True!
 

There a small variances, but the universally known meaning is:

A policy that the United States had the right to treat countries that harbor or give aid to terrorist groups as terrorists themselves, which was used to justify the invasion of Afghanistan and a policy of preventive war, which held that the United States should depose foreign regimes that represented a threat to the security of the United States, even if that threat was not immediate (used to justify the invasion of Iraq); a policy of supporting democracy around the world, especially in the Middle East, as a strategy for combating the spread of terrorism; and a willingness to pursue U.S. military interests in a unilateral way.

She didn't have to know it word for word, but she didn't have a clue to what Charles Gibson was talking about. That's just wrong!

McBush!
 

Fumar you're so far to the right, it should be the McBush, McCain, McPalin, McFumar campaign! :1rotfl:

Palin is falling
 

The people that are for Obama should study his background and you will know he is a racist in that one of his mentors says never trust whites. Also,
not only is he for partial birth abortion, but he voted to allow infants that survived a bothched abortion to die. Sounds like infantacide to me.
Remember, the only crimes in which the innocent victims are killed, are rape and incest.

Jimm, Are you a woman?? Would you like to be raped and forced to carry the issue of that rape? Would you like to carry your fathers child?????

I think partial birth abortion should be outlawed. I also do not believe in abortion after the first trimester . I do not believe in abortion for myself and I thank God I never had to be faced with such a terrible choice to make. I know one thing though, if you are a man, how dare you presume to decide what a woman can or can't do with her body in the case of rape or incest.

You said "Remember, the only crimes in which the innocent victims are killed, are rape and incest."
That is so wrong. What about war? Innocent children are killed every day in this country. Innocents are killed worldwide on a daily basis.
