I never expect more than liberal attack talking points from you, and again I'm not disappointed. The misinformation machine rolls on. Be careful driving that thing, it's gotten ponderous.

What did I say that was misinformation?

Do you realize that liberals feel EXACTLY the same way about the negative insulting conservatives. So while you imagine falsely that you are right, they feel the same way and most of the time someone is wrong. I personally find negativity on both sides, but more so on the conservative side of the house. I watch msnbc and see negative comments about conservatives, but no where on earth will you find more nasty negativity than on FOX. Just try to open your closed little minds and recognize you are also wrong. I have watched the SIX PAC belittle liberals on this site for years, but one word from them about Sarah and its all so terrible. Seriously!!!!!! grow up and open your minds.

I consider myself to be an equal opportunity "insulter". I will call out anyone like you who will NOT...REFUSE to discuss any issue whatsoever, and simply spend your time on here demeaning and insulting other human beings. That deserves to be insulted.

Interesting that this thread about how politicians have not changed over the years and has spun into a HATE thread on S. Palin, who is NOT a candidate for anything, holds NO office, yet YOU said about her...."She is cute, but stupid" I am very sure that she is jealous of you and wishes she had your brains and your success.

You can say whatever pleases yourself but the fact is that you and others just HATE.....never DISCUSS. As I said, I assume that is your lack of knowledge or perhaps you are just plain mean spirited..it certainly is not indicative of a mature person or one who wants to discuss and learn.

And I welcome you to cut and paste any post I made that RIDICULED a politician that I opposed on here....you will not find it and your accusation which was extremely general was way way out of line. If you aske me to find posts by you that ridicule...THAT would be easy.

Bucco,

I put down some facts about Sarah Palin that are true. I know she is not running for office now but lots of conservatives look to her as the icon of the Republican party. Which of the facts that I mentioned do you take as untrue?

"The woman was totally unprepared and too ignorant to be on the national political scene. She did not know world history, did not know the Queen of England was not the political head, could not answer what newspapers she read on a daily basis, and thought she knew foreign policy because Russia was in close land proximity to Alaska. She lied about the Bridge to Nowhere. Her debates were centered on changing the subject when she was clueless on an issue. Sarah is a great actress and great speaker but what she will be remembered for - and what will ever prevent her for holding office again - SHE QUIT HER ELECTED POSITION AS GOVERNOR."

This is a time I am asking you to discuss your viewpoints.

I was not talking to you silly

I wonder if any of you think the millions of people that feel Sarah is disgusting when she involves herself in adult subjects are all just jealous. Be serious. I am sure she is a nice lady, but has no business acting like a knowledgeable adult when it comes to important political decisions.

Please cite where folks have said, without looking for political gain, that Palin is "DISGUSTING" !

And you know what...I am not a supporter of hers and never have been, but what are the resumes of those who mock her and say she "has no business acting like a knowledgeable adult when it comes to important political decisions." Have they served as a Governor.....been in the public eye on a national scale ? Sometimes people are just plain jealous

Pretty much your entire post was misinformation and propaganda propagated by the liberal media machine, except that she actually did resign as governor. Even that is out of context as far as the laws in Alaska and the muck raking liberal activists who took advantage of these liberal "ethics" laws where anybody can file anything for any reason. You only cite the part of the story which fits your biased narrative, and to me that's as bad as a lie.

Bucco: How would you characterize a political candidate who held the following views?

- Didn't know why North and South Korea were separate countries.
- Thought that the head of the U.K. government was the Queen and not the prime Minister.
- Could not name a single newspaper or magazine she'd read after railing about their criticism of her.
- Didn't know the basics behind Paul Revere's ride - and when informed that he only spoke to the British at gunpoint after being captured, doubled-down insisting that her version was the truth.
- Didn't know that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were private corporations.
- Said her state (Alaska) produced 20% of US energy when, in fact, it produces 3.5%
- Quoted Westbrook Pegler in her speech at the GOP convention. Pegler was an avowed racist and anti-Semite who wrote of his hopes of RFK being assasinated. Kind of like her own Bill Ayers.
- Thought that Iraq planned and executed 9/11.

I try very hard not to descend into nastiness when discussing Palin, but I certainly understand the frustrations of others. And, to be honest, I don't think it would have been so much of an issue if it weren't for all the questions surrounding McCain's health.

Remember, McCain's medical records were treated the way Obama's college records are. A few journalists were allowed to see the 3-inch-thick folders for something like 15 minutes. They weren't allowed to have any recording devices and had to give all the materials back at the end of the session. Right, wrong or indifferent, it certainly gave the impression that they were trying to cover something up.

I could post links that refute much of what you wrote above, especially your misrepresentation (again) on Paul Revere's ride in which she is right and you are stubbornly wrong, but in the interest of just bashing people lamely for reasons unknown, I'm just going to links Obama gaffes which, like your post intends, should now render him incapable of serious consideration as anything higher than a Jew....uh, uh, uh......a janitor.

Come on folks. It is well known why she was chosen to run and ultimately why she failed. She is the one that still acts as if she would have been good in government. Lets be honest. She is not competent enough to be on a political leaders staff, much less a political leader. You make yourself look less than awake to defend her abilities. Defend her as a nice lady who may very well care about this country, but don't try to act as if she could help run it. GGGGEEEEEZZZZZZZ She is the one that causes the insults to continue to rain down just by shoving her face in front of the camera. She may make some conservatives drool, but she makes intelligent Americans laugh.

I will reiterate much..no, all...of what RICHIE has posted and add.

I grew up in Pennsylvania and was very very involved in Democratic politics about the time Joe Biden began his career. He was known as a buffoon to be frank with you. In his recent history, without doing any investigation, he has made more gaffes than Palin and many others on both side of the aisle combined, yet the utter nastiness and sheer hate that is aimed at Palin goes beyond making gaffes.

I did not support her being on the ticket...but alluding to your difficulty in not being nasty is telling. I can find no reason to ever be NASTY as you say to anyone in politics unless there is a very viable reason....and in Palin's case she can say all the stupid things in the world, and not get close to deserving the hate and viciousness aimed at her. The media NEVER attacked someone like they did her.

But if you need other folks who CONSISTENTLY say dumb things....I am betting she knows how many states we have !!!
