yep,,,that Joe Biden, or Maxine Waters....they make us al proud. Give me a break.

Them two may make you proud, but not me. Maxine is a cancer on our country and Joe is just comical.

But that don't make Sarah any closer to being worth hearing speak

I don't read much criticism BY YOU or anyone about either one.....but you slam her personally and without any hesitation at every chance.

Wonder why

Posted by Guest (Post 468166)

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.

All I can say is when I hear her speak, It gives me an instant headache. Can you not at least agree that she is living in the past with no solutions for current problems. I openly say I could be wrong about her, but I sincerely think she is a selfish parasite on the rest of the world.

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.

All of this was documented. It is not made up. Millions of people saw her freeze up with Katie Couric and heard the infamous newspaper remark and the Russia being close to Alaska remark. She had been FOR the Bridge to Nowhere and then AGAINST it while saying she had never been for it.

I did not even bring up her wrongdoing with "Troopergate" because the trooper seemed to be a real moron and deserved firing.

Idolize her all you want, drink your Kool-Aid, make her the icon of your Party, but the woman was totally out of her element when in politics at the national level.

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 !!!

Just because you keep saying it doesn't make anything you're saying true. The kool-aid has been consumed by you and not me. You can hate Palin all you want and I know why you do.

She is an All American women with a dynamic personality, and speaking as a conservative every-woman, she clicked with the people. That's why whenever she spoke in public she drew 10 times more people than were expected, and it scared the bejesus out of the liberal political machine to which you are totally devoted and the contract was put out that she had to be destroyed.

So you liberals got all your media soldiers together to ambush her with questions who's answers could be manipulated and spun negatively, and the rat troops of hundreds of investigators were sent to Alaska in a desperate attempt the destroy this woman, her family and anybody who spoke up for her.

You want to tell the history of this story? I know the history of this story, and the liberal media machine, the Democrat Party and it's sycophants come off looking almighty sleazy.

"Since you are seeking the most important position and since you have so many potential enemies you can't afford to make any mistakes. You must conduct a flawless campaign with the greatest thoughtfulness, industry and care. You must:"

[B]1. "Promi1se everything to everyone. Tell them what they want to hear. In promising anything tell them that unless of some clear obligation preventing it, but only live up to those obligation that benefit you."

2. "Call in all favors. If you have helped friends or associates tell them its payback time. Make it clear to each one who is obligated to you exactly what you expect of them. If someone is not in your debt remind them that you can reward them later, but only if he backs you now."

3. "Know your opponents weaknesses and exploit them. A winning candidate calmly assesses his opponent and then focuses relentlessly on his weaknesses all the while trying to distract voters from his strengths."

4. "Flatter voters shamlessly. A candidate must make voters believe that he thinks their important. Shake their hands and look them in the eye, listen to their problems."

5 . "Give people hope. Even the most cynical voter want to believe in someone. The most important part of your campaign is to bring hope to people and a feeling of goodwill toward you Voters who believe that you can make their world better will be your most devoted followers....."

Yep...you dont have a serious mean streak in you !! WOW "a selfish parasite on the rest of the world."

You obviously have some huge hate issues that need work. Since you dont EVER contribute anything to this forum except for that HATE....as soon as my stumbling computer skills allow me to find a way to "ignore" you will be paced there. There is sufficient hate in this world without have to read your tripe !

You are just being nice here...you probably save your worst for children killers and the like.

She takes everything she can get her dirty little hands on and gives nothing in return. She is a parasite on this Country and the World. And yes, I am a real nice gentle caring person. Thank you very much. You can go to Admin, and they will get a team of folks together to show you the complicated system of blocking someone. LOL

Will do...and nobody who uses the language you do about people you do not even know is even close to being a "real nice gentle caring person"..that is impossible when you talk about other human beings with such a vile tongue.

Richie - here's the exact quote from Palin:



He (Revere?) warned the British by "ringing those bells"? And he's riding his horse? Ummm - he never made it very far... The only time he said anything about the arms in Lexington were when shots were heard warning of the advancing Regulars.

Revere never fired any warning shots. He never 'rang bells'. One of Revere's co-prisoners made a comment about bells while detained. They (the Regulars and the prisoners) *heard* a shot about a half mile from Lexington whereupon Revere DID say that it was a signal to alarm the country.

This is the problem I have with many Palin supporters. If she said the sky were green they'd agree - that somehow you're never supposed to admit you're wrong. And *that* is what makes one a caricature.

Believe me - we LIVE this history here and re-enact the Battles of Lexington and Concord almost within paper airplane distance of where I work EVERY YEAR - *WE KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS STUFF*

I have no trouble admitting when 'my guy' is wrong whether it's politics, sports or if it's myself on any other subject. It's called being human - because nobody is perfect.

Refusing to admit when someone makes a mistake is a hallmark of insecurity.
