The bitch quit as elected governor of Alaska and choked in a interview with Couric. How does she qualify for anything?
Neither of which holds any weight with the typical Republican voter.
Frankly, I think the quitting is a strike against her, or it should be. But spend five minutes on Town Hall or some such, and you’ll find she is actually admired for that. She didn’t drag the whole state into the left’s vendetta against her.
For the Couric interview, this would be the same Couric who was just fired because no one was watching her program, and no one took her seriously as an anchorperson.
So her stupid answers in the interview were because of the status of the questioner ,who in warped right wing minds, actually changes the question. Couric spoke English and asked pretty simple questions. Yet you somehow mush believe if Cronkite asked the same questions, Palin would have given better different answers responses?
You are becoming a real joke. Palin can not be defended for quitting or not knowing anything about politics or the world. Nobody tricked her or asked her complex questions. It was practically a chat. Yet as usual ,Palin failed.
But of course, if you are able to sat NO ONE watcher her program, your lack of familiarity with fact is again being demonstrated.
Actually, quitting as governor of Alaska is the best thing Palin’s ever done. It’s not often that a single individual can so quickly and so drastically improve the quality of the government of her state.
Are you guys actually thinking that blog is serious or have I been double-whooshed?
Well, if someone understood simple English, they will see that I was speaking of right wing supporters, NOT myself. I’m not thrilled with Palin, and at the moment, she and Romney are the only two candidates who might make me consider voting for Mr. Fail.
The fact is, most of the right (and really, most of America, for that matter) despises journalists, despises the mainstream media, etc. They know they’ve got an obnoxious liberal slant. They know they foisted a pig in a poke on us. So anything they say is taken with a grain of salt, and you know they probably edited the interview to make the subject look bad.
Also, the questions that she supposedly didn’t know.. big whup. She couldn’t name what newspapers she reads. Well, guess what, old people read newspapers. Newspapers are dying out, and frankly, I’m kind of feeling about it like I felt when I put down my 19 year old cat last February. Much the same can be said about 5:30 news programs.
Not really.
Give Palin some credit, she was the one who took on the Oil companies and got Alaskans a share of the booty. Sean Parnell, who succeeded her, is a lot more buddy-buddy with the oil interests.
You see, the funny thing is, as a governor, Palin was actually pretty moderate. She became the darling of the far right because of her social conservative views, and eventually adopted TEA Party views as well.
Another point. It seems to me that you guys are more upset about the candidates you think can’t possibly win than you are about the ones who might have a shot. If Palin (or Bachmann) are such awful candidates, wouldn’t you want “the One” to face them instead of someone who has a little more credibility like ROmney or Perry?
I’ll re-iterate. I don’t think Palin is actually going to run. I think she’s re-invigorating her brand name so she can sell off her endorsement.
So , how was the roll-out of “The Undefeated”? I didn’t see much about it in the news. Did it go the way of “Atlas Shrugged”?
She slagged off jury duty to attend the premiere.
I love it when they reach.
Did you really think that she was going to actually sit on a jury, or any court would put her on one?
Woosh.
Guy, you pretend to care about that stuff, but most people don’t.
(which means, you only care about it because it’s Palin, and you are trying to find reasons to dislike her.)
LOL.
Actually most people do. The right wing bubble you are in probably does not. But I suppose you have seen polling which puts her in the absolutely no chance of winning the presidency group. That would surely suggest she has no traction and the people are rejecting her as a very bad candidate . That would be because she in stupid and unqualified. Most of the American people see that. On FOX she is seen as a perspicacious political commentator.
She is travelling the political landscape in an attempt to gain backing. She is failing. Her handlers are trying to get the message through to her. They do not want to waste their time.
Well, I don’t think she’s running and never was. She’s making more money now that she ever has in her life, why would she give that up? I think she’ll keep the poltical strip tease going for as long as possible, but won’t go through with it.
Yes, I’ve seen polling and I largely dismiss it. Let’s not forget, in 1991, after the Gulf War, Bush-41 was easily beating all Democratic opponents and many of the big name ones opted out. Bill Clinton at one point in 1992 was running in third place behind Bush and Perot.
Fortunes change. I keep harping on this number, and it gets you all upset and stuff, but no President since WWII has won re-election with an unemployment rate north of 7.4% Only one president (Reagan) has won with it above 5.6%. If the jobs aren’t back- soon, the voters are going to be in a very unforgiving mood.
My goal is to find the GOP candidate whom I think will do the best job. I’m against Romney because I simply don’t trust the LDS in general or him in particular. He’s just too slippery. I also think the MSM is holding back on educating Americans on just how crazy LDS beliefs are until after he locks up the nomination. Then we are going to hear all about magic underpants and Nephites and Lamanites and dark skin being a curse from God and all the other nuttiness.
Palin- I agree. She doesn’t have the intellect or skills, and frankly, she quit.
Bachmann- too far to the right, but I dont’ dismiss her completely. She’s the kind of person who can get things done.
Perry I think is the most credible guy, the one who can bring all the factions together. If he runs. He might not.
Like Pawlenty initially, but he’s fizzled like Fred Thompson.
Then why don’t you do yourself and all of us a favor and quit shilling for the right wing nutjobs? We’re all pretty familiar with their views and how they rationalize it to themselves. Or do the Koch Brothers pay per post these days?
Based on previous posts, you think if people believe something, we owe it to them to respect that and incorporate it until the school’s curriculum. You put a lot of stake in the possible umbrage the religious may feel if we choose to disregard their beliefs. While I am unsurprised that you take quite a different view when it’s other people’s religious views, I thought I would call your attention to this discrepancy in your values system so you can resolve it one way or the other.
Now funny, over at Town Hall they said Soros was paying me per post.
Right or Left, they all beleive that if anyone doesn’t shill for their orthodoxy or deviates it from the least, there must be a shadowy billionaire out there.
Incidently, I wish the Koches or Soros were paying me.
I don’t have any religious views, I’m largely an agnostic. I think most religion is silly.
I do have a particularly strong dislike for LDS. Part of it is based on an encounter I had with them when I was in ROTC and dealt with some Cadets from BYU. Slimier, smarmier people you wouldn’t want to meet.
That was before I actually made a study of just how crazy their religion is.
But my biggest problem is, that we now know it’s a fraud. We know Joseph Smith was just making it up on the fly. We know his goal was to gain power, money and sex, and like any good con man, he found religion was an easier racket than gold hunting scams.
Now, all of that said, (and this really belongs on a Romney thread) if the people of Salt Lake City vote to teach Mormon beliefs in their classrooms, and that’s the overwealming opinion, they should be allowed to do that. If a community of Scientologists wants to teach about Evil Space Lord Zenu and they are the majority in that school, they should be allowed to do that, too.
Belief in either disqualifies them from my vote, but they should be allowed to beleive that and teach that if that is what htey believe.
For someone interested in “fixing education,” you have a rather cavalier attitude about what the schools actually teach.
