other tidbits from her own party members:
“There is just no good way to say quitting has made her more qualified to run for higher office,” said veteran GOP pollster Glen Bolger.
“I think Sarah Palin is on the verge of becoming the Miami Vice of American politics: Something a lot of people once thought was cool and then 20 years later look back, shake their heads and just kind of laugh,” quipped Republican media consultant Todd Harris.
So I guess it is really just a "liberal" thing huh? ::)
-
repub party has been harder on her than the Dems have.
Dems are jst sitting back and quoting repubs as they talk trash about her.
She was an inconsistent gov with lots of Qs about troopergate firing, her house construction, lots of fees the state paid to drive her family around, her getting that per diem to work from home, etc etc. Plus she spent a nice chunk of her term campaigning for VP, then iving speeches in indianan for anti-abortion causes.
Alaska probably would have been better served with a GOV who stayed home and focused upon alaska's issues. Palin didn't do that. She had national aspirations and, just like obama, merely used the job as a stepping stool to higher things.

I'll take her accomplishments any day over the "accomplishments" of Obama in wasting trillions of dollars with nothing to show for it.

I heard she "got in there" and "shook things up"

I will wait for the accomplishments of Obama as a senator.Any word on if they will release his college records?

Instead of addressing the topic of the thread and the issue here, the only two repubs (so far) instead want to talk about obama.

Deflection. Fail. Next!

How about the pipeline deal she got through????
-
Gas pipeline
See also: Alaska Gas Pipeline
In August 2008, Palin signed a bill authorizing the State of Alaska to award TransCanada Pipelines — the sole bidder to meet the state's requirements — a license to build and operate a pipeline to transport natural gas from the North Slope to the Continental United States through Canada.[114] The governor also pledged $500 million in seed money to support the project.[115] It is estimated that the project will cost $26 billion.[114] Newsweek described the project as "the principal achievement of Sarah Palin's term as Alaska's governor."[116] The pipeline faces legal challenges from Canadian First Nations.[116]

That was a massive accomplishment ans she did far more for energy independence than anything ZERO has ever done.

listen here
no one has less experience than nobama
he is prez and we are heading off a friggin cliff
this guy will be the worst prez when all is said and done!!!!!!!!!
the dems won't be able to complain about bush anymore
because nobama is digging a hole so deep
that we will never get out
-
I heard she "got in there" and "shook things up"

I guess the shakings over now. :(
The pressure from the nation spolight really did send Governor Whackamole over the edge into insanity. Either that or whatever they are cutting the meth with now in Alaska causes not just general "dain bramage", but Alzheimer’s as well.
Seriously though, looking at her history, it would probably be easier to find things she didn't quit. She went through what? 4 or 5 different colleges?

palin will gear up for 2012 and then you will see her
kick it in overdrive
nobama is a one term prez
he will be out in no time
he is increasing our debt
on a daily basis

We will judge that after his term if over. Right now, it isn't. Biased predictions are useless.

Didn't she also raise taxes on the oil companies and then dole out the money to the citizens of Alaska?
That's redistribution of wealth Republican Style

I have said many times she is not perfect and has serious flaws, but she is taking money that the corps get from the ground, not other americans' paychecks.

Dear Sir or Madam,
We note that you have referred to Governor Palin in a manner that is less than groveling respectful. According to a rule that Governor Palin carved into the antler of a moose that she killed after she fell on it while she was out running, you are in violation of the Shebilly Who Must be Obeyed law and could be sued for amounts equal to whatever it takes to keep her in makeup.
Please retract this less than respectful post immediately or send a check for $10,000 to:
Shebilly Offense Fund
PO Box 721
Wasilla, AK
P.S. Neimen Marcus gift cards are also acceptable.

hey, I'm fine with it too. I think we should do it with all the oil companies too
Just trying to help remind everyone of her "accomplishments"

I dont have a problem with a surcharge when the oil is coming from the ground where the state is located.
Its almost like a rebate more than a tax to the oil company.
That is no tthe same as someone taxing your paycheck to give money to me.

well we get plenty of other natural resources in this country (our collective wealth) that get sold on the open market to the highest bidder. Shouldn't we all get a paycheck for that too.
BTW - weren't the citizens of Alaska already getting $$$'s from the oil revenue before Palin got there. Why wasn't that enought?

It wasnt the pressure.It was attacks by pussies like you.Guys who think attacking down syndrome kids and youg girls is ok,but cry like bitches when someone says Obamas kids are pickininies with nappy heads.Pussies like Olberman should be thankful that I wasnt those kids father because he would have gotten his bitch made head smashed in.
-
Yes, because Lord Obama was SO accomplished.
::) ::)

LOL at the constant (failing) attempts of deflection here.
I guess Palin just didn't have the "endurance" and "determination" that she claimed she did.

Really then where did it come from? Did it just materialize out of thin air? Where exactly do you think the Federal Government gets money from?

That quote typifies liberals and their knowledge of economics. They simply are not living in reality thinking that the govt printing all this money is anything but stealing from those of us with savings. The govt printing all this phoney money to bailout failed businesses and stimulate the govt even more is criminal in my mind.
When the govt prints all this phoney money it debases and devalues the monies already in existence. Thus, it is my money that Obama is screwing with since he is devaluing the dollars I already have.
Hey JockStrap, is that too hard for you too understand????

Still awaiting explanation for why the REPUBS feel this way...

I don't really give a shit about Palin, but I am from Illinois so don't try to tell me how great Obama is. The guy was a nobody when he was in the Illinois state senate. Then all of the sudden he comes out of nowhere and manages to win the Senate seat. And what did he do the whole time he was the Jr Senator from Illinois? He ran for President. We really got our moneys worth.

All this may be true.
Or not.
But this thread was about Palin.
How about you start a thread about how useless "Nobama" is.
Instead of bringing up Obama as some kind of answer to any post made on Palin.
Why is that anyway?
Why is it that so many posts that are being made on eg Palin, then instead of a real reply you'll get some dumbass reply like "well how about that Obama fella then he's much more stupid, huh"
Or if Obama is ever brought up then it's always "how about that dumbass Palin, she couldn't get two things right, huh"
Totally retarded way of replying.

Because for people that support Obama to question ANYONES expieriance or accomplishments is just plain dumb.Its like reading the other site and seeing some sissy say "Ronnie Coleman looks like shit".If the person you support is shit,how can you then rip on anyone for having more faults then your "man".
Palins state MADE money.Unlike states like Califrornia,which is bankrupt,Alaska was doing fine.That alone is more of an accomplishment then about 45 other states.
-
I saw the interview Palin did with Andrea Mitchell.
Palin is the salt of the earth compared to the disgusting lot from Chicago.
-
You libs need to shut up about our obama thrashing in this thread. Yes, I know it's about palin but that argument didn't seem to work against you A-holes every time you derailed a thread with the usual "bushsucks/ihatebush/bushbushbush" derangement syndrome.

barry nobama is starting to get people upset and out of sorts
his whole administration is packed full of liberal.....elite.....sn obby....judgemental..... putting people down because of their lack of elite education.....all these liberals suck and they think their shit doesn't stink.......well I have news for those liberal ass clowns.....YOUR FARTS GIVE YOU AWAY!!!!!!!

Ha ha. A client stopped in with a Corona since he was happy I got him 1.2 million dollars in monies owed on a construction project. I was not on a commission basis, but an hourly, so he made out like a bandit compared to what our normal fees would be. ;D

So let me get this straight.
Barack Obama is a bad president because he's well educated.
And has an administration that is filled with brilliant minds?
You'd rather had dumbasses in charge? ::)
If you gonna bash Obama, at least bash him for things he's not doing well.
Like protecting our privacy.
Trying to bash him for being a brilliant mind is just retarded.

First off, Obama is not brilliant. He is smart and educated, yes, but he is not brilliant. Brilliant in what area? He has not written extensively on any legal topics, has never really had any accomplishments other than getting elected to office. He has never worked in the private sector. He has never created a business or managed anything.
Second, i would never bash anyone for being "educated", however, being educated and having wisdom and common sense are not the same thing.
Obama does not have common sense or wisdom when it comes to many issues. Cap & Trade, Card Check, taxing people more in a time of economic crisis, etc all come to mind. Pushing these things is hardly "brilliant" and in my mind, and that of anyone with business experience, is insane.

Being black
Having a very similiar name to a very famous terrorist
Being Muslim
Being born outside the US
Being Pro-Black
etc..
and despite all that, managing to convince the nation to vote him into the most powerful position in the free world? I'd say that is pretty fucking brilliant.

When you have a media that ignores, or sweeps under the rug, everything and anything that might turn people off,then thats not brilliance,thats a con job.No college records,no release of his papers,no birth certificate,no follow up on Wright,Phlager,Ayers, etc.A guy who pretended to be a moderate,no follow up by the media.A guy who is pro infantacide,no follow up by the media.This is the same media that released a lie on the front page of the NY TIMES about a McCain affair and squashed John Edwards affair because it might hurt his chances.
Nothing brilliant about lying.If it was Madoff would be a hero.
Thats not brilliance,its corruption at its finast.

Since when is being popular an accomplishment? The man voted "present" 130 times in the Senate. He only actually voted for against something FOUR times!! Guns and abortion.. kinda shows this guys real agenda.
The man is a typical marxist who won a popularity contest against a nagging, socialist woman and an old, "moderate" lame duck. Not a drop of anything special about this guy. Same with substance.

And yet.... the nation elected him. BRILLIANT!!
Or rather in light of your side being unable to defeat him... PATHETIC.

MSNBC, after handily electing Obama, has bashed him a great deal.
You can't speak authoritively on it, if you haven't watched it.
FreeRepub was the home of that nutbag who show up the holocaust Museum and full of Obama/Hawaii CTers. Drudge = right wing to say the least. DU = antigun babies.

Hasnt affected us?Well,my son will be paying that debt for the rest of his life.When he hasnt done a fucking thing or gotten a fucking thing from it.If that isnt affecting me,I dont know what is.
-
A fine job as president in what respect? If in 'fine job' you mean has completed the daily duties of the president and has tried to push a particular agenda that he feels is right, then yes he has done a fine job. He is no slacker. Obama seems like a great father, great work ethic and is a role model, no doubt. But what is being contested is the way he is growing government, exponentially growing our national debt, limiting personal freedoms, disproportionately helping the poor, creating a worse environment for business and trying to appease countries that we are at odds with.

HOW IS he serioulsy gonna pay the debt,,you been paying the debt before your fathers before that,,itts a cycle your son wont even notice it when he enters adult hood and starts a real job in real life,,he will go on like no other and wont even think about obam since it be past his time and wont even care,,it be you sitting on the coach trhying to convice him other wise he is paying a debt and he wont even recognize it one bit we paid for regan and carter and yet no one in thise day and age saids, "OMGzooodge im paying a debt from the carter years",,,truely pathetic my friend

Good attitude ::) Appathetic people like you are reason the fuck heads in washington get away with runnning the deficite in to the trillions while running America into the ground.

-
McLame was pathetic. Bush was horrible. The media refuses to be tough on Obama./
Well, according to Obama, one media source is quite rough on the president, as the he recently stated there’s “a certain network that is dedicated to constantly criticizing my administration”. The reporter rhetorically asked Obama, “You mean Fox News?”
While the rest of the networks bow and knee when they hear the brass and the cymbal and the flute and the harp, it appears that one won’t quite do that (Next stop: the furnace).
I'd like to see him go on the O'Reilly Factor again, as Bill was the one guy who could carve through the (what O'Reilly calls) bloviating of the now-president and get to the meat-and-potatoes of the matters at hand.

So I guess it is really just a "liberal" thing huh? ::)
It's good to hear from some fellow Conservatives who didn't fall for the act. She was eye candy. Savage nailed it too:
-
Didn't the female governors of Kansas and Arizona quit their jobs to work for Obama? Wans't the governor of New Mexico going to quit to work for Obama?
Our current mayor will likely quit to run for governor . . . after giving us that stupid cell phone ban. You suck Mufi!

I'm not aware of those female gov's (why does the gender matter?) but it seems you're saying they all left a current job to immediately start a new job
Palin will most likely show us all she quit to personally enrich herself
my estimate at this juncture is that she doesn't give a shit about the people of Alaska and, to keep in simple, I don't think she'll ever run for public office again....unless she's broke.
What I hope she will do is start a 3rd party if only so all the wack jobs will be in one area where we can keep an eye on them
-
Ridiculous. The female governors who quit their jobs early, and the one male who was going to quit his job, were moving up the career ladder, with all the increased earning potential that comes with the promotion. If you believe these people quit their jobs as governors of Kansas and Arizona solely to serve the public by taking presidential cabinet positions then you're incredibly naive.

Sebelius and Napolitano left their jobs as governor to become cabinet members (head of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security) and if you think they took those jobs for the pay increase you're beyond naive. What job offer was it that prompted Palin to quit? Seems like some part of the story is missing. You clearly thought so since you previously posted that you're still waiting to hear her explanation.
Do you remember that word salad of reasons she gave? She didn't want to be a lame duck, she didn't want to cost the taxpayers money, thinks she can do more for the state as a private citizen, etc.... and still you don't believe her. Cleary you thought her stated reasons were a lie (or at the very least a lie by omission).
Truth. :) It is hysterical how people are frothing at the mouth over Palin. And for what? You'd think she aborted third trimester babies for a living or something. She's a terrific American success story. I'm not convinced resigning was the right thing to do, and I still want to hear her explanation, but I don't think she's going away either.
So....why did she leave. Maybe you can decipher what this means:
Palin used a basketball analogy on Friday, saying that she saw the "full-court press" of attacks on her and knew that she had to "pass the ball to victory."
A good basketball player, she said, "knows exactly when to pass the ball so her team can win, and that is what I'm doing

It means that her Lt. governor can finish the work that she started and carry out her agenda, because he won't be saddled with a bunch of stupid lawsuits that cost him (and the Alaskan taxpayers) millions of dollars.

so you think that Palin is stepping down so the Alaskan Taxpayers can save a few million dollars on "stupid" lawsuits
hasn't that "cost to Alaskan taxpayer" angle already been proven to be a lie?
what if the Alaskan Taxpayers file more lawsuits against the Lt. Gov?
I'm not buying it
you're saying Palin is quiting her job so Alaska can save money?

Those lawyers were allocated the same amount of $ no matter how many suits come against the gov office.
if there are zero suits, they get paid anyway.
If there are 50 suits, they get paid the same too.
Both sides' pundits admit this excuse doesn't fly. There are lots of other good reasons for her to leave office. Get outta that sinking economy ship so it's not her badge in 2012 or 2016 elections... "Yeah, well, you leaft alaska in this mess", etc.
Plus she's ready to get paid, and you can't blame her for that. She'll make ten million dollars this year without blinking. The hateful right lecture circuit, fox news, bok deal, etc.
