Thoughts on Palin?

[Bill of Rights]

I liked her a lot. Then she went to campaign for McCain's Senate re-election campaign working towards put the Enemy of the First Amendment (McCain-Feingold) and otherwise big-government Republican back in office.

There went most of what I liked about her.

That may have been a political payback, too, David. Still, though, if he stands for something she doesn't, how can she support him and not call her principles into question? I like what I've seen of her at least up to that.. From here on? We shall see.

Blessings,
Bill

If that's the case, what happened to all the lawsuits? Do they just magically vanish when you resign, publish a book, conduct a coast to coast book tour, speak at Republican fundraisers, become a cable news host, and vacation in Hawaii (visorgate)?

Not being governor, she stopped being as much of a target, too. When she stepped down, they may have stopped expending so much energy going after her.

I do not know this, but I consider it a realistic possibility.

Blessings,
Bill

I like how she writes topics on her hand. What an psycho crazy *****. I really hope she goes back to Alaska a failure. She has no credibility, she couldn't even remain governor of Alaska. She had to quit the easiest job to run around the country selling a ****ing book. What a waste.

You're right. A couple of notes (which is all that will fit--unless you want to argue that she has super powers such as microscopic vision) is so much worse than being incapable of speaking coherently, let alone articulately, without simply reading off a teleprompter.

 

[tedbower]

I think the next time she does a speach she should write on both hands and hold them up facing herself at the angles of a teleprompter and move her head back and forth as she reads off of them . Think the obamatards will get the hint.

Explain to me, "Most Republicans are too socially conservative ...". Specifically, "What does socially conservative mean to you?" Pat

I mean most Republican candidates who run for President.

What I mean by "socially conservative" are those who would use the power of the government to enforce their religious views on others, or those who would extend fairness only to those who live up to their standards of morality.

Unfortunately, that is what the Obama campaign ran with as well. They said he had not been in the Washington circle for a long time and that was why he could bring "change." I am not saying that Obama and Palin are anything alike but that is the exact same thing that was said about him and he has went right along with most of the same old tactics and policy that everyone else has used lately.

True, BUT, they "forgot" to mention Obama's Chicago ("Daily Machine") corruption connections too. Oops!

 

[flagtag]

Remember, "O" thought there was 57 states in the US at one point.

And he had one more to go to.

 

[flagtag]

She's a simpleton. Lots of flash, little true substance. A lot more intelligent candidates out there that could be an effective President from the GOP.

I laugh at all the sheep that follow her. Seems the right has just as many as the left.

You named yourself correctly, it seems. Try actually *listening* to her message once. She's not the "dummy" that the left wants everyone to beleive she is. Maybe if the true "sheeple" opened their eyes/ears and mind, they would see a glimps of the Constitution in her message.

 

[flagtag]

Michele Bachmann is better lookin', but they're both:

Why are so many people afraid of those who most closely support the Constitution and our founders values?

 

[flagtag]

How could she run for president if she has kids to take care of still!?

How could any MALE run for any office if HE has kids to take care of?

You must be listening to someone else then. The Sarah I hear talk is a wind up doll filled with talking points from her handlers. Anytime she is asked to get anymore in depth she either re-directs the conversation or gets the folksy twang "aint i just like all you folks cuz I'm from Alaska BS" going.

I may be blind but I'm no sheep.

When they attack her now, it's an attack on a PRIVATE CITIZEN! No longer fair game!

Keep trying.

I'm done Flag. But you go on ahead.

And after the very many of retreats lead by the Commander of the Continental Army would you also have offered:

Yorktown, 1781.
I promise I won't retreat this time.
Probably.

A single battle does not a campaign make. And continuing to fight a battle, when others are paying the price, is not necessarily the mark of a good leader.

There are times to attack, times to hold, and times to retreat. It's knowing the difference that is part of what makes a good leader.

The squeaky voice has got to go.

I try to imagine a State of the Union speech, and I have to agree with the quote above.

Is she perfect, no. Do I hope for better, certainly. If it were a choice between the Big O and Palin, I would vote Palin, but I pray for another good candidate between now and then.

What handlers do you speak of because last I checked most of the GOP have a dislike for her as well as all of the left. Other than her running as a VP for McCain which I think the GOP made him do, she has no ties to the political game IN D.C. If anything she was used as a pawn to try to pull votes. Why she is supporting McCain is beyond me. No disrespect to Senator McCain he is a very honorable man, I just think he is a puppet to the rest of them and he did what they said. I'm just curious where you are coming from maybe Im missing something. I think the best NOT perfect person wold be someone with NO political ties that is truly passionate about the country. Real world American people NOT politicians would make great leaders.

Thank you dburkhead for a great quote.

After all the bickering and opinions,
we get some true, well spoken words.

What a dishonor to compare George Washington, his command, and the fate of his fellow soldiers, to the opportunist political machinations of a State Governor that didn't have the stomach to stick it out when people said things about her she didn't like.

BAD ANALOGY!!!!!!!!

 

[flagtag]

The left is REALLY scared!

At least we wouldn't have to worry about her burning the Constitution and trying to make us "subjects" instead of supporting us as citizens!
