Sarah ******* Palin? Follow

Bullsh*t, no-one EVER worried about whether Maggie could do the job, people might have hated what she did, but no-one and i mean NO-ONE said she wasn't up to the job.

Might be Old News, but something I learned about Palin today:



BUT DID SHE INHALE?!!!

Also:



I bet Alaskans are thrilled.

Um... Smash. I just repeated what I said the last time her name came up in a thread where someone (possibly even you) was pulling the old "Even conservatives don't agree with <insert some Bush decision here>" argument. I don't remember the details, but I remember her name.

Link it.

Um, lol, I'm not going to go and search for it, heh, but it's there, yup, I suspect I could find it, folks, heh. LOL!

You remember the name, huh?

check those, maybe someone referred to her by a nickname.

Just kidding, we both know you're just pretending. The Let's Pretend Party would expect nothing less. LET'S PRETEND I POSTED ABOUT THIS BEFORE!!

You could have just asked.

/shrug

Strange. Could have sworn I'd run into her name having to do with a thread on this forum. Could have been elsewhere. In any case, I know I've seen her name in the context of a conservative writing or saying something critical of some Republican position or other. Certainly, she's hardly the barometer of conservative opinion that Smash seem to think she is.


Let's bottom line this Smash. Do you think there are more Democrats disappointed in Obama's choice of Biden, or Conservatives disappointed in McCain's choice of Palin. I'm betting the former. Biden doesn't balance the ticket. He fails to remove doubts by moderates about the ticket while weakening a number of key Obama positions.

Palin, on the other hand, strengthens the McCain candidacy a ton. She removes doubts among far right conservatives, but in a package that doesn't scare away moderates. She's about as far from a Washington insider as you can get, which makes the whole "Bush 3" argument fail miserably. She's also got a strong record fighting corruption. Despite some pretty desperate attempts to get the exact opposite view out there early and often, the truth is that she's about as "clean" a politician as you can possibly find.


That latter bit is the huge kicker here. When you contrast Obama and Palin, you see two relatively new politicians. But while Obama jumped right in bed with questionable political figures in order to further his career, Palin took the opposite approach. She fought against the political machine and managed to win. It's a bit hard to look at Obama's actions with Rezco and the Wood's foundation and then look over at how Palin specifically attacked that sort of self-interested political methodology and not see that one is really about "change", while the other is just the same old politics in a new wrapper.

The fact that she's a woman is really the least significant part of this. I think that's what's being grossly missed by most of you (although the attack squads do seem to know this, hence the innuendo about her and earmarks and firing her brother in law, etc). It's really not about the degree to which she influences the woman votes as Joph keeps harping on. That's one aspect, but the much bigger part is her own personality, history, and actions. She's the "change" in this election. Not Obama.


And it's pretty clear that the liberal machine knew this right off the bat. I've never seen such a fast and coordinated attack on a candidate like we've just seen. The kind of scrambling the left is doing right now can only mean that they know that if they don't get their version of Palin out first, she's going to sink them. They know this. They know that most of the people out there don't know who she is. So they figure they can paint an ugly picture and hope that no one watches her speech tonight, or pays attention to her biography, or listens to anyone saying anything good about her.

In short. They're scared. Really really scared.

Strange. Could have sworn I'd run into her name having to do with a thread on this forum.

I assure you, you lying about having stated something "months ago" is "strange" to no one.


Let's bottom line this Smash. Do you think there are more Democrats disappointed in Obama's choice of Biden, or Conservatives disappointed in McCain's choice of Palin.

Oh Democrats, without question. On the other hand, if Obama wins 80% of Democrats, he wins the election. If McCain wins 99% of Republicans, Obama wins the election.

See the difference?

All that really needs to be said. Quite looking forward to that debate...
