Former McCain Campaign Manager: Nominating Palin In 2012 Would Be 'Catastrophic'

[Straw Man]

Yeah, im embarassed about being prepared for SHTF scenarios.        

I haven't heard this yet

what SHTF scenarios are you preparing for?

I live in NYC and remember 9/11 like it was yesterday.  Anything can happen in an instant.

Natuaral disaster.
Mass power outage
Terrorism
Etc.

Basically I have enough supplies to get me through a one week or tw week scenario for all my needs.  If you want to mock me for that, fine.

Actually you claimed it was economic meltdowns, unemployment, looters, debt ridden zombies, food starved citizens uprising into riots and casually murdering anyone that got in their way.

It was really hysterical because you started making these claims in Febuary, only a couple weeks after Obama was sworn in and blaming it all on him.

Oh thats right, you live in lilly white wisconsin.  you have no clue about urban areas like the bronx , brooklyn, etc.

Here is my plan so far:

1.  I have three SHTF duffle bags.  One at home, one at work, and one in the car.  I have everything I need in there for most scenarios and for three to five days of survival.  

2.  My friend owns a hunting store near me and I got everything I need before its banned that is still legal.  I am focusing on ammo mostly since i already have rifles, handguns, and a shotgun.

3.  Get water to last you at least a week.  Its cheap and stores well.

4.  I need to get canned food to stock up.

5.  Keep your cars filled with gas.

6.  Keep a stash of cash.

7.  Get a crank/solar radio that does not need battiers to operate.

  
Make  
  

So being prepared for looters, drug addicts, desperate people, shortages, is paranoia?

You have no idea what is coming buddy.  Dont say I did not warn you.  Check out the other post I listed about Gerald Celente and his track record and trends that are coming.

Listen to Schiff.  He called this one 1000% spot on and look at what he is saying now.

Look at how scared shit Obama is lately.  no more Hope and Change - just fear and doom.

He knows what is coming too.

Not at all.  Just prepared for anything and make plans accordingly.  

1.  Dont take on unnecessary debt.

2.  Pay off existing debts.

3.  Streamline and cut fat out of business.  For example, we just made a small switch in the office that saved us $150 a month on our phone bill.

4.  Save up supplies in case of an emergency.  


If you put your head in the sand that is fine, but if you want to realize just WTF is going on than you need to listen to the people who called 100000% the disaster we are facing, when all the other "trusted" voices did not.

Assuming incorrectly you know where I live - after I have already stated where I live on this board - in a desperate effort to make a failing point isn't the best of tactics you know.

How's the Schiff predictions going so far?

Thats right, you live in florida, I confused you wish someone else. 

Actually, Schiff's predictions have been pretty good.  Gold is much higher, the dollar is losing value, UE is going up rapidly, etc.

HIS IS A GUY WHO RAN THE WORST CAMPAIGN IN THE HISTORY OF REPUBLICAN POLITICS.Rush had it right,McCain and his people are failures,step aside and get out of the way.

[LurkerNoMore]

Worst campaign in history and perfect example of being a failure was tapping Palin to ride the VP slot.

You can't get any more braindead than that.

McLame lost of McLame, not because of Palin.  But keep fooling and lying to yourself.

McLame sucked and when he suspended his campaign and said the "funamentals of the economy are strong" it was over.

The key to winning is defining yourself and defining your opponent. Obama clearly defined his political identity, while simultaneously painting McCain as "Bush III".

Kool aiders like 240 and Lurker want to keep deluding themselves into believing Palin was the cause of McLames' loss. 

McLame sucked, period.

Palin gave him the shot in the arm he needed to make this a race The conservative base wasn't behind McCain. In fact, McCain didn't overtake Obama in the polls, UNTIL he picked her. Then, his crowds got large and the left didn't know what to do with her.

Once the economic crash hit, Obama was able to get back on message. Add McCain's erratic knee-jerk reactions to the whole thing and the situation got away from him.

[BM OUT]

Only stupid retard libs think it was Palins fault.McCain wouldnt have gotten 20% of the vote if he didnt pick Palin.The base would have stayed hom in droves because they DESPISE McCAIN.

[Option D]

I would vote for her in a heartbeat knowing what I know now. 

She doesnt hate the country and does not want to impose insane restrictions on our domestic energy needs. 

amazing

[Soul Crusher]

amazing

Isnt it? 

Who in their right mind would ever propose cap & trade and give away billions directly to Goldman Sachs to assist in imposing an energy tax?

Isnt it amazing that a president of the greatest nation on the world would do as his first task as president go on a world apology tour? 

It really is amazing.

Which dosent make it right..you want a Broad with no national Political experience, C student in shitty schools, former sports broadcaster and gov of a hodunk state..to be president, Because she is cute and says a lot of dumbass catchy things...she was the female BUSH IMO.

Everyone knows me...i dont give a shit if a KKK member was running for POTUS, if that redneck had good education coupled with a nice plan, sheeeeeeeeit i would vote for his ass in a heartbeat. Palin had no substance at all. Just a figure head picked by the repubes to capitalize on Hilary Clinton's success with the women voters. Without Hilary there would be no Palin on the national stage. And she is too Dumb to notice that. She was used, and they cant t turn her off. Now she has turned to the monster the Repubes cant controll anymore...


this broad got an 850 on the SAT...jesus h christ

Jimmy Carter was brilliant too and graduated the top of the class in the USNA.  Whats your point?

So far Obama has not shown an ounce of a connection between Ivy league eduction and common sense.

WHO CARES what she got on her SAT? There are plenty of people with high SAT scores who can't even balance a checkbook (and far too many of them sit in Washington, DC today).

Obama is Mr. Harvard; but, he ain't smart enough to realize that he can't sweet-talk Iran or NK into giving up their nukes.

Nor does our brilliant president realize that, no matter how much apologizing he does for America or how much EU butt-kissing he does, when the rubber meets the road, they ain't lifting a finger to help him out with Gitmo.

Actually, I think Obama would have won the election no matter who the republicans threw at him in 2008.  The country wanted a change and the majority signed on to the anti-bush movement.  As long as Obama was seen as change and McCain seen as somewhat similar to Bush, Obama would win.  In hindsight, I think Palin weighed McCain down some but it probably didn't have that much of an impact.  She brought some on the far right but alienated some independents.

Obama is a product of slick marketing and timing. 

When he said "change", people thought that was from GWB, not a marxist transformation of health care, energy, banking, and the country as a whole.  The casual observer who does not pay attention to things bought this whole slick marketing scheme hook line and sinker and hence, he are stuck fighting over energy taxes, govt takeover of medicine, bailouts, etc.

Bush graduated from IVY league schools.He then was governor of Texas.Both of which either equal or FAR surpass ANYTHING Obama did in his entire life.Now, I know community organising is an amazing resume but to compare it to a governor is a joke.

The sad thing is the joke is on us as Obama is proving to be worse then Jaimmy Carter.

[LurkerNoMore]

I guess 60% of Repubs who stated Palin wasn't qualified are all "retarded libs".
I guess the Repubs, moderates and independents that jumped ship after Palin opened her mouth was McCain's "shot in the arm".

 

The only thing I have found with less intellect and brain cells than Palin are her supporters.

The only thing I have found with less intellect then Obama are his supporters who cant admit hes a failure.
