Sarah "Gotcha" PalinPosted Friday, July 3, 2009, at 6:20 PM
Obviously right now, the voters in Alaska, are suffering through a great deal of buyers remorse. They elected Palin to serve as their governor. The last time I checked, in all 50 states, a term of office for governor is four years, not three years and an option to quit. She has been mentioned by those on the right as being a frontrunner for the Republican Presidential Nomination in 2012. But with today's spectacle it's going to cause quite a few people to rethink pushing someone for the presidency that can't even handle a full term as governor of Alaska. Most political people looking at this situation can't help but think there's something else going on. Remember we just had a governor who completely disappeared from his state on the taxpayer's dime, only to come back from that trip and admit to an affair. Staffers close to Sarah Palin, say that she is done with political life, but I sincerely doubt that. She loves the limelight way to much to stay away for too long. But as is usual with her, as she was resigning she was questioning the patriotism of certain Americans and trashing those who she believes are trashing traditional American values (as she defines them). Listening to her talk you could get the real sense that she was only talking to her very specific base of supporters who eat everything she says up with a spoon. I will miss, however, how in every speech she gives she always gets at least one or two sports analogies and war analogies in. People often compared her to a shooting star. With today's announcement of quitting she truly became a shooting star, shining bright for a few months before disappearing over the horizon. Americans can forgive their political stars for alot of things, but they don't like quitters, and today that's exactly what she did. _ Update: Apparently, Sarah Palin holds herself to a different standard from other political women. Here's a statement she made yesterday on Facebook: "How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it's about country. And though it's honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies for the decisions I make." and here's a comment she made concerning Hillary Clinton last year about "whining" about press coverage: "Fair or unfair, I think she does herself a disservice to even mention it...When I hear a statement like that coming from a woman candidate with any kind of perceived whine about that excess criticism or, you know, maybe a sharper microscope put on her, I think, man, that doesn't do us any good. Women in politics, women in general wanting to progress this country. I don't think it's, it bodes well for her -- a statement like that...It bothers me a little bit hearing her bring that attention to herself on that level." So basically what she is saying is that when Hillary Clinton whines about press coverage it's whining and doing a disservice and bringing attention to herself, BUT when she does it herself it's totally fine. I'm still amazed, though, that she continues to pat herself on the back for abandoning the people of Alaska by quitting before her term was over. Usually when someone resigns from a position, they give a short, emotional, often tear-filled speech (man or woman), but listening and watching her 17 minute ramblings speech, she seemed almost proud of herself and joyful that she was abandoning the people of Alaska. Some on here have derided me for attacking a woman, saying they would never stoop to that level, all the while, attacking all the liberal women politicians they can find out of the other side of their mouth. But I am not attacking Sarah Palin. I'm simply calling out a really bad politician, who once put under the microscope, as every national politician is, chose to quit her elected position. _ Update #2: John McCain is now on record as saying that he never heard Sarah Palin "promise" the people of Alaska that she would serve a full term. McCain has always been known for digging deep to try to protect or cover for his fellow Republicans but this is almost shameful. The last time I checked, when people vote someone into elected office, they are voting that person in for a full term. I seriously doubt anywhere there's a position that a person can be elected to and the people will be fine if you decide to quit not even half way into the term. She was supposed to serve four years, not when she decided she didn't want to do it anymore. I suspect there will be more spin and spin and spin as the days come. I can promise though that if a Democratic governor had done this, Palin and Co would be jumping down their throats, but somehow, because Palin did it's not only perfectly fine, but good for the Alaska people.

Oh yeah she scared us so much they Barack Obama won the presidency. Yep got us there.
I guess you have forgotten and so has she that she was found guilty of those ethics charges.
Liberals didn't have to tear down Governor Palin. She did it herself and then kept doing it and kept doing it.
Face it, she got caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Honestly if she quits the governship because she felt the media attention was too bright (which it wasn't since she kept putting herself into the spotlight) how long would she last as president.
She is a quitter, pure and simple. IF she decides to attempt to run for president she will not be a major candidate.
Sarah Palin is not a decent woman, she continually uses her children to score political points, and conjures up faux indignation when someone reports on it.
She was a fake and the Republican Party is better off without her.
Mike, if Sarah Palin is such a weak candidate, why are you and the rest of liberal America so afraid of her. I would think you encourage her, and her supporters, to press on. Then you could sit back and watch the train wreck.
But no, as the liberal media pounded away at all the false allegations (and they were all false), in an attempt to create doubt, your still doing it. Really, what are you afraid of?
mike? political suicide ring a bell. ur like ol clinton, what dress
Mike, predictable Mike. Have you ever written a blog about buyer's remorse about "Jumpin" Jim Jeffords, or Arlyn Specter? Doubt it, that's sacred ground for liberal kool aid drinkers.
I hope you liberal goons had fun raping her in your blogs and HACK news stories. I'm sure her family will be glad the liberal hell is over.
When are you going to write your article about how president Obama is an historic president?
An historic failure.
An historic liar.
An historic spender.
An historic hack.
An historic scam artist.
Do I need to go on?
I hope he didn't get rid of his community organizer clip board that he did nothing with...he'll need it soon.
Although, if unemployment gets any worse from this unbelievably DOA stimulus that broke the nations back, there may not be any communities for him to snag tax payer money for bogus projects.
You know every time one of you follow ole O'Reilly's lead and call someone a kool-aid drinker I have to wonder if you even know what that means. I'm sure you heard it one time and thought it was just funny as hell and continue using it because it is in the "in" thing to do.
O'Reilly of course is referencing the Jonestown massacre where over 900 people died after drinking poisoned punch. More were shot down in cold blood, including a Senator from California who went to Guyanna to see what was going on down there.
Is it still funny to use the term Kool-Aid drinker when you know you are making fun of 900 people by doing it? Probably. You can make fun of whoever you want to. It's just a joke. Get over it. I'm sure it would be different if someone referenced 9/11 to describe you.
By the way if Mrs. Palin is as decent as you say she is then why, while she was running for vice-president, in speech after speech as her crowds shouted "Kill him" and "terrorist" at Obama, did she stand there with that stupid smile on her face and do nothing. At least McCain had the decency to stand up and correct his supporters when they called Obama a Muslim.
Karma has a funny way of coming back on a person and right now Mrs. Palin is getting her fill. She is NOT a decent woman and she is getting what she deserves. She openly, and still does, question the patriotism of Americans. Why? Because they don't agree with her?
Please, you guys talk about the idol worshipping of Obama. Look at yourselves. You worship the ground of a woman who openly slams other Americans as being un-American. She killed her own political future and yet you somehow still find a way to blame everyone else for HER mistakes.
Liberals are scared of Palin is probably one of the funniest lines I have ever heard. If we go by that logic than you all must be terrorized to the point of being unable to walk with Hillary Clinton. The amount of slime and ooze and outright lies that has been thrown her way by the Right is uncomparable. But then again I forget, in your world it's perfectly fine and natural to slam a woman on the left, but dear god if you tell the truth about a woman on the right you are attacking a decent woman. Give me a break.
Anybody notice what our battlegroups are up to these days?
ie., the 5th and 7th fleet.
I find it interesting that all Palin ethics charges were dropped but that fact was barely reported as Mike proved with his comment above.
Gives the right a very good argument against the "liberal media" since they were so good about keeping us "informed" of the now known to be unsubstantiated charges.
Again Mike, go back and look at the videos of the crowds in question, you'll see ONE person yelling "kill him", and ONE person yelling "terrorist". ONE person, not crowds. Here is a women stepping down as governor, you would think the liberals would be elated, but no, they stay on the attack. Notice, especially the liberal man.
Mike, you're just too smart for me. I didn't even realize Bill used this reference. I guess I've heard it more on sports talk radio as a reference to bozos that drink their team's Kool Aid so much they don't realize their team sucks and isn't going to live up to expectaions.
But you go ahead and keep telling yourself that Bill has all us conservatives brainwashed, even though you liberal hacks spew the same BS WORD FOR FRICKIN WORD. I wonder where you get it CNN or MSNBC.
Brian, isn't it also worth noting that the "hack" media that Mike follows has not been updating us every day of the casulty count in Iraq since Obama has taken office. We heard it every day while Bush was in office, not once have I heard a casualty count under Obama.
I also have not seen the coverage that we're losing the battle over there, even though our troops would try to tell us otherwse. All we heard every day was that we were fighting a losing battle thanks to Bush, now it seems just because the Obama Messiah has taken office, things are just getting better on their own.
I never said Bill had you brainwashed. I know the definition of that word so I don't just throw it around towards those you disagree with me. I said you copied him.
What I find interesting is all of you coming to the defense of the poor helpless Sarah Palin are the same ones that have viciously attacked women such as Hillary Clinton and, dare I even say her name on this board, Nancy Pelosi. That's what is so hypocritical of your fervernt defense here. You think it's find to attack and call women whatever you choose on the left, but don't you dare let anyone call out a woman on the right.
Look, Sarah Palin just proved that as a politician, not a woman, she couldn't handle the spotlight. She consistently put her children out there for everyone to see than took exception when people actually focused on her children.
As a politician, she is a quitter, plain and simple.
As for the people shouting, you are basing your judgement off of one video, where it is clearly audible and she still did nothing. It happened at several different speeches she gave and she did nothing. You should be horrified that she would stand there and let people talk about another American they way these people did. Instead you give her an out.
Oh Mike, how exactly is Sarah Palin using her familiy for political gain in a way that Barack has not? I would love to hear this.
The only reason we even know about her family is the shameless Democratic party's demonization of her family and all the dirt diggers they sent up there to unravel her personal life.
Nice try Justin, but if you actually watch the news, every Sunday, CBS runs a list of those killed in the past week in Iraq and Afghanistan. There should be more doing it but sadly there isn't and there hasn't been since the great surge.
I loved that fact that Cheney came out this week and said that pulling the troops out of the cities this week was a bad idea and that the insurgency was still strong. Two problems with this, apparently he forgot that the pullout date this week was signed by the Bush Administration, so in his attempt to openly criticize Obama, he actually criticized Bush. He also forgot, apparently, that over four years ago, he announced to the world that insurgency was in its last throws. Now, all of a sudden, they are far from it?
Look here buddy, Nancy Pelosi is not even in the same league as Palin. She's a lying, scamming, disgrace of a Catholic, baby killer. Why the hell would I come to her defense.
I'm not so much coming to anyone's defense as much I am pointing out that you liberals just can't let anything go. You guys still have Bush derrangement syndrome, and now we'll see how long you have to kick Sarah Palin when she's down.
Maybe you're all just jealous because Hillary can't compare to Sarah.
You would lie to spite your face wouldn't you justin. Palin put her children out almost immediately when she became the vice-presidential candidate. She was the one that announced that her daughter was pregnant. It wasn't the media. Me doth think you protest waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much.
Point proven, Justin, thanks for showing us all how hypocritical you really are.
Nice try? Well I guess now you know everything. I didn't realize that CBS ran a list. How the hell did I end up hearing the daily count last year and the year before since I wan't actively looking for it like you are.
I didn't even have to tune in to anyone to hear that crap. Now I don't even know where to find it.
But you're right Mike, I was just lying and you know everything, like always.
So wait, I tell you exactly where to find it and then you attack me for it, and then state you weren't looking for it after saying you can't find it?
Okay.
No, smarty, you assume I'm lying to make a point...much like a politician. The fact is whether you like it or not, the count is not publicized in the media near as much now that Obama is in office. I used to hear it every day, over and over, now I never do.
Maybe if you stopped being a horse's ass for 10 seconds you would understand this, I know it's hard for you to process simple tasks so here it goes.
I don't go out and seek this info.
I never did go seek this info.
1-2 years ago this inof was all over the news.
Papers, websites, radio, cable tv, etc.
I hearsd this number daily while Bush was in office.
Nao that Obama is in office, I never hear this number,
Just because you see in on CBS doesn't mean I see it, as I obviously am not parked in front of the TV as much as you are.
I haven't changed my media habits at all in the last few years.
Even thought this isn't a scientific study I can somewhat conclude that with everyting else the same that it is a fact that this number is not reported now with Obama in office as to make it look as though he's doing better in Iraq than Bush when in fact he's has nothing to do with what's going on over there, our troops are doing that.
Brian, not all charges against Palin were dropped. An investigation into the the so-called "Troopergate" (why everything has to have gate added on the end now a days I'll never know) found her to have abused her powers as governor over a feud between her family and Walter Monegan, whom refused to fire state trooper, Mike Wooten, after a messy divorce with Palin's sister.
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=6...
Mike, here is a source for you too... http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009...
I'm not gonna dig to find out if the Times story is 100% accurate and I don't expect you to either. I recall the Troopergate story very well. I don't know of any official legal or other action by the state of Alaska about the report that stated Palin abused her power related to Troopergate... do you?
Though I'm not a Palin fan, I wouldn't underestimate her either. The most popular figure in the Republican Party right now is likely to, if nothing else, get out there and stir up the GOP pot. Though her own political aspirations likely have changed, she may just be a pretty effective voice.
Sceptre, both you and I know had she been a liberal you would have eviscerated her like any other liberal woman. Don't try to play this protector of women on this site. Your record for trashing anything liberal is quite well known.
Also, gotta give you props for actually turning what should be a great day for all Americans into a cheap political shot in your last post. You are so wrapped up in the right being the only protectors of what is right that you have to take a cheap, transparent, shot. Have you no decency? Is it just for shock value?
Having said that, this day is a great day for ALL Americans. Happy 4th to you. Hope the day is a good one.
What in the world are you even talking about?
There has never been anything unprovoked about Sarah Palin. I guess it doesn't bother you that Sarah Palin's pastor was a one time satinist? It sure bothered you that Obama's former pastor was a racist.
Speaking of the Constitution, if you are what you call a constitutionalist, then you should have been appalled that Governor Palin and her husband palled (to use her word) around with domestic terrorists and known secessionists.
These stories were barely covered, and it makes on think where the supposed "liberal" media was on these stories. When Obama's former pastor's hate-filled speech appeared it was on every major network for weeks, and yet video of Palin's satinist pastor barely made a splash.
When Obama's supposed ties to a domestic terrorist were first made, that's all that Governor Palin could talk about, yet when Palin's links to an Alaskan domestic terrorist and secessionist came to light no one seemed to want to talk about it.
Mrs. Palin was treated with kid gloves compared to other political women throughout her meteoric rise and yet you still whine because she pushed and prodded her family into the spotlight.
You continually trash liberal women such as Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi and then have the gall to come on her and say you would defend a liberal woman just the same.
There's nothing to defend here. I'm not attacking a woman, I'm waving goodbye to a really bad politician. She promises to stay about from politics as usual and then that's all we see from her.
She names abandoning politics as usual and then abandons the people of Alaska who elected her to office. You want to talk constitutionality? She threw the constitution under the bus, by resigning for no better reason than not wanting to do it anymore.
I would also be remiss to mention that the only people continually mentioning her children or her family throughout this strange saga have been Palin and her supporters.
As you watch the fallout from her 'I'm quitting' announcement, the only time her children have been brought up was by her and then subsequently by her supporters that showed up on the talking heads show.
Most political junkies and talking heads that have been talking about this have kept their comments solely to her and the amazement that she would just up and quit before her firs term of being governor was even up.
To say otherwise would be disingenuous and a falsehood.
It has been noted by brian that all ethics charges have been dropped against Governor Palin. That's not actually true as there are still two active ethic investigations against her.
To actually side with her a bit on this one, any ethics charge that was brought on by a group outside of Alaska should have been immediately dropped.
Ethics charges cost a lot of money and only the most serious should be investigated. Those looking to score cheap political points shouldn't even be taken serious.
I have to ask Mike/ekimsitruc/GI, are you going to judge your soon to be wife by the same standards you judged Sarah Palin (conservatives)? Are you going to condemn your wife as you have condemned Sarah Palin (conservatives)? Are you willing to forgive your wife as you are forgiven Sarah Palin (conservatives)?
Palin was "guilty" of one of the ethics charges. Some trip she took with her daughter. I think i heard it on Headline news I don't really remember.
She paid in 500,000 to defend the charges while state paid 300,000 to investigate them.
GI, I didn't realize that you were getting married. Odd that chunky knew.
Chunky, my soon to be wife is not a political figure so the comparison doesn't even work.
I am not critical of Sarah Palin because she is a conservative. I am critical of her because she is a really bad politician. I have been critical of Hillary Clinton before for bad steps she has taken as a politician. I could care less if a politician is a man or a woman, black or white, conservative or liberal, if they are bad at what they do I criticize. Look at Marion Berry. He's been arrested, AGAIN. What is this, the 3rd or 4th time, and everytime it's a different charge. This time its stalking. The man seriously needs to get out of politics.
And Sceptre, dear Sceptre, your attempts at propping yourself up as a better man, because you protect a fellow conservative woman ring hollow. You keep coming out with these arguments about men protecting women, yet you only believe it should be for conservative women. You state that you would protect a political woman, even if she were liberal, and that's a lie. Just on this thread alone someone went after Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton and YOU WERE SILENT.
Your macho, tarzan protect the woman act is nothing but a sorry ploy to make it seem like poor little Sarah needs protection. She doesn't. She created most of the controversies that surrounded her and then decided she didn't want to play anymore, so like a spoiled little brat, she didn't pass the ball to someone else, she took the ball home.
Nice job, there chunky trying to connect me into three different people, there's just a couple of slight problems with that. My username is ekimsitruc on (a play on my own name), but my name is Michael. Posters on here often call me ekimsitruc or Mike, in fact I don't even know of another poster on here by the name of Mike (at least it's not in their username).
I am not Guillermo either. He is his own individual, and even though we have similar beliefs they aren't any where close to being 100% spot on match. I also don't go near to the lengths that he does to tear down other posters (no offense Guillermo, I am glad there is another liberal on this site, I just wish you would change your tactics and not go down the same path as other posters and use the lowest common denominator and name call).
Hope that clears it up. But your post does point to something that actually goes along with my theme of the extreme right of being hypocrites. You get all in a flutter because you think I am attacking a woman, and then you go after my soon to be wife, a person you don't know, and someone I've only mentioned in passing when I announced we were getting married.
By the way, she does have some conservative beliefs. You know why I don't attack her? Because she can present her ideas in a clear method, without attempting to attack anyone else on their ideas. She doesn't paint those who dare disagree with her as anti-American or un-patriotic. That's what Governor Palin excelled at. That's why I fault her. She plays to lowest common denominator, which is trying to scare the bejesus out of everyone. That's a tactic that worked well in 2004, but worked miserably in 2006 and 2008. But you guys go right ahead and continue using a political prop that doesn't work.
I'm not from Alaska so I'll leave it up to the Alaskan voters whether they want to consider Palin a quitter or not.
She could have continued as governor but she wouldn't have done much while planning a presidential run. Just like Obama didn't do much in the Senate during his presidential run (or any of his brief tenancy in the Senate for that matter) well before his term was over but after claiming that he wasn't going to run for president in '08. If she's going to make a run for President, fine, that's her decision but at least she's made it possible for the people of Alaska to have a full time governor while she pursues whatever it is she's pursuing. I assume it's the Presidency though.
Then again, how many people here can honestly say they know what it's like to go through an election, have your family in the spotlight plus all the other pressure from everyone else that leeches on along the way? It could be that she is just doing it for her family but I'm sure we'll all know in time.
Mike,
I just call you Mike because it's short and to the point plus I refuse to succumb to your backwards way of thinking. jk, Mike. ;)
I read these things (blogs?) trying to figure out just what is going on. I figured it out!!!! Hate, hate and more hate. We love to see the other side fail. We love to find a Right Winger cheating on their wife or a Lefty getting caught with tax problems. Oh the hate and I can not wait for more negative things to happen or even positive. I am sure the end will be the same here..HATE...HATE and more HATE. Sit back and read these things....pot shots, head hunters call it what you will but some of the best blogs get turned into HATE. Will it ever stop? NO.. I think the divide among us is so far we are a nation that will fall, and hate and blame to the grave. Respect for an opinion, freedom of speech....take it away with all the other fredoms we have been stripped of. Take it all, hate them all...that is the answer!!! Right? I am not defending anyone here or backing anyone. Do not take it that I am here for your support. I am stating my opinion!! Hate me, fine! I do not expect anything less. The new American way. Hate.
Please do not agree to disagree or respect an opinion. that would be wrong and you may show a weakness.
We complain about people knocking the school system yet we can fault a person in office. We can tell everything why GOV> Palin did this and that. She was a liar or a cheat. She used her family to try to get to the Whitehouse. If the lady wants out and resigned, fine. Tell her why she made her decision....laughable. If we could take all the great minds here(I do mean great) and put them to promoting 1...1 positive thing I would be amazed.
It baffles my mnd how President Bush with the help of Cheney took the whole country down. 300 million pretty stupid people for sitting back and letting it happen. I find it hard to believe Obama has took us the rest of the way by himself. We have a lot of people to thank. Do we look for the reasoning behind what happen in any case. Yes the one sided view. Take a look at the big picture. Clinton left us in great shape...did he? I do not know what we can say about it cause some things do not show up till later. He served us well but I am sure he is a failure. Bush 1 and Reagan were worthless. I am sure they caused major problems again with 300 million people sitting back and complaining.
ok I will stop with the BS. I just hope and pray one day we can all just see things with an open mind and respect each other. I am sure I am wrong but hey...worth a try.
I wasn't a fan of Palin during the campaign, and I'm not a fan of her now. I think the GOP just picked the most prominent, solidly "conservative" Barbie doll they could find to try to balance the ticket with "aisle crosser" McCain.
That being said, I think you have to have some pretty big blinders on if you can't see how throughly and incessantly she's been REAMED by both the informational and the educational media.
I can't help but wonder if she's resigning because she plans to devote all of her attention and all of her resources to suing the bejeezus out of all of her slanderers.
Seriously Mike, you are a teacher, parents may read your blog. Any slip up on your part as a teacher, and they will judge and condemn you as hard as you have judged and condemned those you disagree with. You're not forgiving of those who speak against you, however you may want their forgiveness if you err in the classroom.
Lawbreaker, there's so much hate here, in
Washington, in the news and other media. Hell, its getting to the point where meeting a friendly stranger is rare and the only thing bringing people together is a major catastrophe.
Both sides of politics are full of it. You can read all of the news articles and watch all the newscasts and still not get the whole story.
The rifts are so deep in this nation that nothing will ever progress in a positive manor.
Gone are the days of sitting on your porch, waving and talking to the passer-by's
She's already announced that and I can tell you her suits against slanderers will be about as successful as the corruption charges against her. In order to win a slander (or defamation) suit you have got to have some pretty damning information.
The people she has mentioned so far have not slandered her or defamed her in any way. The one blogger that was mentioned by name, they said she presented as fact in an MSNBC interview that the government was preparing to go after her. If you actually watch the interview, which her and her lawyer have already proven they haven't, this blogger not one time said anything as fact regarding the federal government.
But, hey, if that's how she wants to spend her money, go right ahead.
Chunky, what you see as condemning those I disagree with, is me calling those who tell complete lies out. I'm not going to tapdance around the liars just because of the website that I am typing on.
By the way, it has now been discovered that the MANY reasons Sarah Palin quit the governship was an outright lie. She stated that by quitting when she did she was going to save the people of Alaska millions of dollars, against these ethics charges. That's not quite the truth. But dear Sarah has always been one that was loose with the truth, and her followers always eat it up with a spoon. Not to mention her "protectors" who think that a poor conservative woman "needs" protecting from any kind of bad talking, no one else though, just conservative women. Apparently her "protectors" don't think conservative women can take care of themselves. Welcome to the 1950s boys.
Enlighten us Mike, what are these reasons? Who are the conservative leaders who says she needs protection?
Chunky, I don't believe I ever said republican leaders said that she needed protection.
Just a list of some of the reasons she mentioned include protecting her family, saving the people of Alaska millions of dollars, the media, her family wanting her to quit. She gave out reason after reason and none of them have really stood up under the pressure.
Mike, I don't think I asked for republican leaders, how about just name a few conservatives who think she needs protecting. The reasons you listed are all legitimate.
Okay sorry I never said republican or conservative leaders.
OK,let me be more specific. Name me anyone who has said Sarah Palin needs to be protected. Please Mike, name only the true game makers.
Name only the true game makers? First you tell my to name anyone, then you said name only the true game makers. Make up your mind.
There goes Sarah again, talking out of both sides of her mouth. First she says she will only support conservative politicians, now she is saying she will support any candidate, Democratic or Republican as long as they hold certain values.
Which I guess in her case, this candidate would have to thrust her children into the national spotlight and take advantage of their children, then blame the media, quitting not even half way into their term and blaming the media and call all those who don't specifically agree with their beliefs not only anti-American but not even American ...... and then blame the media.
Steff,
It's only because he can't.
The election was more than 9 months ago. The democratic liberals have a super majority in the house and senate and should be able to pass any legislation they wish. Yet today we find ourselves in an opinionated and heated discussion about the former governor of Alaska. Not only on this blog, but on the liberal news media around the country.
Liberals such as our "friend" Mike here are never going to let this go - justified, or not. Mike is the type of guy that will always be looking in the rear view mirror trying to figure out where he's been rather than seeing the brick wall he's about to crash into. The politicians in charge today are dangerous to the future of this country, but let's focus more on Mrs Palin who unsuccessfully ran for Vice President 9 months ago. Anyone who wastes their time trying to communicate with this biased left winged hypocracy are just looking for a fight. There is no logic to these haters so just walk away. Don't give them any more fuel.
My advice...let the liberals have their way (for now), make the necessary changes in the next election, but have your passports ready because soon we may all be a carbon copy of California. Rolling blackouts, bankrupt government, welfare payments to everyone and health care to match Canada's.
Your guys are in charge now Mike...congratulations to you. I really hope you, your children and great grandchildren are prepared to pay for what is about to hit this country. It won't be cheap, it won't be short and dare I say it, we won't be safe. But you can always tell them how you helped fight off the great Sarah Palin 9 months after the election.
Oh that's classic, conservatives who still live in the era of Reagan calling anyone else out for living in the past. Classic.
What does it say Husker that Canada's Health Care system is rated higher than America's. The rolling blackouts occured under a Republican controlled California Congress when they decided to deregulate the energy in California.
You are indeed funny Husker you turn a blind eye to what's actually happening and then criticize liberals.
All I did was simply call Sarah Palin on her crap and I have been ostricized, big deal. I'll live.
By your comment Husker about us not being safe, I get the feeling that you are one of those that are just hoping and praying that our country is attacked again, just so you can say I told you so.
Oh the reason I have not answered Steffanie is simple, Chunky. I would have thought you would have figured it out by now. She/He offers no debate. All she/he does is defame and name call, when she/he is challenged on something she/he has said she/he doesn't defend herself/himself, she/he criticizes the person who challenged her/him and then calls them every name in the book, attacks their family, but never answers any questions asked of her/him.
So I ignore her/his posts. I haven't read a single post of hers/his in two weeks. She/He's not worth my time and energy. She/He's like a pesky little brother/sister, just trying to push buttons and I choose to ignore it.
Let me get this straight Mike.
I call into question your decision to attack a political figure from 9 months ago, and you call me "a conservative still living in the Reagan era"? Are you trying to put words in my mouth just so you can argue with me?
You are either extremely conceited and like to hear (or see) your own words...or you have severe schizophrenia. You really don't need this blog to do that you know.
Just get on Microsoft Word and start typing. Pretty soon you'll have yourself in a tizzy.
Husker23, you are 100% correct in everything you said. But I'll add one thing; the liberals have the perfume of all the power in the world in one hand, and a pile of dog crap in the other, and they insist on sniffing the dog crap.
