Bless your heart, there seems to be almost no limit to what you would imagine!
Funny then, with supposedly so many good examples, you decide to choose one that’s complete bullshit. But this is a pretty consistent pattern now. “37% of Republicans think Obama is a communist muslim sleeper cell agent? Well a leftist blogger criticized Bush over Iraq and said some nasty things in 2004! Now you’re a hypocrite for acting like those are different! Equivelance!!!”
Anyway, I’ll stop, since this wasn’t the topic to this thread, but it amuses me when you think completely logical reactions to things that actually happened are equivelant to nonsense conspiracy theories without any substance driven only by hatred. It’s consistent with the rest of your world view - the ultimate irony is that you’re trying to use these points to demonstrate how all sides are all equally guilty of retarded partisanship.

Starving just makes shit up. Palin has very low popularity in Alaska. She couldn’t get elected as dog catcher.
She quit and she is stupid.
http://www.rawstory.com/rawreplay/2011/06/sarah-palin-badly-mangles-the-story-of-paul-reveres-ride-in-statement/ How do you sweep this response about Paul reveres ride away? I know you will though.
I forgot to add that it’s pretty silly to dismiss quitting her position as a political non-issue that would only be brought up by partisans.
If Obama retired today suddenly and mysteriously, yet decided to run in the 2012 election for president, you wouldn’t be saying “wtf, he quit for no good reason and abandoned his duties and now he expects people to vote for him again?” - and you’d think anyone who made a fuss out of his quitting doesn’t truly care or think it matters but is only taking partisan shots?
I wonder what it would take for Starving to quit on her. Her statements are so stupid that they are funny. She quit as Governor. She has no understanding of history and politics. She has no intellect and when she speaks, people cringe in embarrassment. Most Republican pundits dismiss her as a joke. What the hell does it take?
Perhaps he believes she is the best the Repubs have to offer?
She is mindless and babbling, but she is smarter than her base. Her base believes that quitting as Governor was the bold move of an outsider. She has an excellent campaign manager - although he goofed by letting the press get to her on the Paul Revere question.
Palin does not have to be good, all she has to do is beat the field. Romney is the front runner and Palin can easily squash him.
Palin is the likely Republican nominee.

I think Palin will perform like Pat Buchanan did in the early GOP primaries. When there are 6 or 7 candidates in the field, you can win with 26% of the vote. But as the field narrows, Buchanan (or Palin) never picked up any more votes.
Palin has a core of a support that would max out at around 30% of the GOP vote. She could do well and win Iowa and New Hampshire, but her share would never go any higher.
If the right wing leadership decides another politician is their candidate and Palin doesn’t gracefully step aside. The right wing media will then denounce Palin and all of the dittoheads will nod and agree that obviously that quitter is dumb to be President and who ever said otherwise?
Lots of politicians have resigned to seek higher office. Palin’s supporters would have no problem swallowing the excuse that she needed to resign in 2009 to build up to a 2012 campaign, but her GOP rivals will hammer hard on this.
Should she actually win the GOP nomination, of course, bygones will be bygones and her erstwhile rivals will line up to lick her boots.
It isn’t a matter of me “quitting on Palin”. It’s a matter of speaking truth to bias.
Were you speaking truth or bias? I’m gonna guess “bias”.
What did I win?
What bias? She came in with a blank slate . Nobody knew who she was when McCain picked her. I had no preconceptions. Then she started to talk.
She managed to run for Vice President while serving as Governor. And her term of office would have ended in 2010 anyway. Considering she still hasn’t officially declared herself a candidate, what was she doing so vital in 2009?
Makin’ money, you betcha!
Clearly not studying American history.
Not very long, it turns out:
Totally Agree!
And my “gotcha” question to Palin would be “What do you think the word candid means?”
Because apparently she has the idea that it means “not factually accurate by well spun”.
In which case, Palin did speak candidly about Paul Revere last week. And her statement that she knows American history is also candid.
And the “gotcha” question was something like, “What did you see and learn about today?” Truly, a question designed to trip up the most practiced of politicians.
