What drives the Liberals' hatred towards Sarah Palin?

[Soul Crusher]

This clip completely destroys the liberals garbage on Palin as opposed to who they claimed was qualified for president. 

Either both were, or both werent.

2nd...from what I remember hearing, she had a balanced budget and wasn't a particularly big spender in Alaska.
If the budget is balanced and people aren't getting overtaxed, that's a great base.  filthy lib!  

[Straw Man]

whether he stepped down before or after isnt what the point is its that he STEPPED DOWN...

while the circumstances are obviously different the end result is the same he quit so did she...

did blago have to replace him with yet another moron after he stepped down?

he stepped down b/c something better came along explain to me how thats any different then what palin did?

oh brother - you can't be serious

you think stepping down as Senator to take the position of POTUS (after running for the job for 2 years) is equivalent to quiting as governor in the middle of your term to  write a book and go on Oprrah.  If she wanted to write a book she could have easily done it while staying in office (as many politicans have done)  

Do you rmember the reason Palin gave for quiting?  someething about passing the ball to win or some such other gibberish.

You can't possibly believe your own words in the post above

Not real good at returning stuff either, whether it be a nice wardrobe or even taxpayer $

As governor, Palin canceled the Gravina Island Bridge in September 2007, saying that Congress had "little interest in spending any more money" due to what she called "inaccurate portrayals of the projects."[110] Alaska chose not to return the $442 million in federal transportation funds.[111]

I think the crucifixion of Palin is unwarranted but why constantly bring Obama into it?

That just makes it a 'My dad is not as big whore as your dad' type of argument.

Some kind of 'argumentative competition' of which political celebrity is the biggest doofus.

Let's just agree that both Palin and Obama has been victimized in the media.

Because the haters are applying a double standard that they themselves refuse to acknowledge. 

Hedge - I posted the clip of Obama saying he was not qualified for president.in 2005.  What did he do in a year and half that made him qualified in 2006? 

The reason I am asking is because the people like Straw, Benny, 240, et al who tried to convince the rest of us how dumb and unqualified Sarah was or is, seem to have never acknowledged the fact that their own guy BY HIS OWN FUCKING DEFINITION was alo unqualified.

HANDLED  

but seriously..

Most of alaskas budget comes from oil revenue....its a big ole sociaist state.

They give residents anual checks from the oil tax just for living there. Her constant rehtoric about limited government and anti-socialist policies is amusing.

alaska also is/ranks #1 in earmarks per capita. They recieve more federal tax funding per person than states x3 and x4 larger

its all a big fucking wash if you ask me.

Most states are required by law to have a balanced budget

There are less people in the entire state of Alaska than in my city and they actually pay people to live there (socialist state??)

Any big city mayor has more relevent experience in running a government than Palin

I would be ok with bloomberg as President.  He would never get his anti-gun agenda through, but on economics and common sense, there are few better.

If Repubs thought Palin was qualified then they would have voted for McCain/Palin in large enough #'s that they would have won.
Personaly, I hope Palin runs in 2012 though I think she'd have to do it with a 3rd party as there is no way she'll be the Repub candidate
She's the political equivalent of a side show freak

[Soul Crusher]

Because McCain sucked and was at the top of the ticket No 1.

No 2, no GOP candidate was going to win in 2008.  People were rightfully sick of Bush and voted for "change".  Do yuo think Romney/Huck had any better of a chance?

Most of the "inde" voters did not research on what they were voting for and largely ate the ready made msm shit sandwhich hook line and sinker.  Most of those idiots dont pay attention like we do and pay attention the last few weeks of the campaign.

The last few weeks of the campaign, we had McLame suspend his campaign, TARP, "Fundamentals of the economy" , the Couric interview, etc. 

At the same time, we had knee padding like never before by the MSM for Obama.

I think all Repub candidates sucked.

McCain was their best chance and he sunk his campaign by his own actions (one of which was picking Palin).

All Palin has to do is raise money and get get votes in the primaries.

She'll suceed or fail on her own

She doesn't need to win over Dems/Libs/Progressives..whathever

She needs to win over the people in her party.

[Soul Crusher]

Straw - do you think I was excited about voting for McCain?  Seriously, do you think most GOP voters were happy voting for McCain?  NO! 

McCain is HATED by most conservatives and GOP voters.  Couple that with Bush fatigue, which was warranted, Palin's situation, the economy, and whoala, president Obama. 

If McCain had not chosen Palin, McLame would have lost by double digits.  Many people like myself only voted for McCain as an anti-obama vote.   

Look, would you have ever voted for McLame?  No, of course not, even though he is considered a "moderate".

Palin was not ready for the assault she faced and did a great job under the circumstances.  However, do you think that 6 million people made solely an anti-palin vote and switched from McCain to Obama solely for that reason?  Of course not.

Palin could have aced the couric interview and it would not made much of a difference whatsoever.     

     

[Option D]

obama quit the congress to be president, if it turns out this was all a ploy to help her get into congress or run for president then she didnt quit anymore so than obama did...

are you high?

[tonymctones]

Palin supported and defended the Bailout in 2008, even as conservative republicans called it a terrible idea.

I think that speaks volumes.  Lots of dems and repubs "jumped on board" with party leadership to support the bill.  Others had the backbone to defy it.  She was NOT one of them.  Simple enough.  You want a Maverick?  Vote for one of those folks that voted against the bailout.

arent you a conservative republican?  Im mean thats what you always try to pass yourself off as 

didnt you support and argue nonstop for the bailouts?

[Soul Crusher]

are you high?

Mal - did you watch the clip i posted?

[Option D]

not yet. ill look at it in an hour

the circumstance are different the result the same, deny that?

The people don't lose an elected official at their service when a person moves to a higher office.  this person continues serving their country or state.

The people lose a sworn servant when they leave to write books and do talk shows.

it's about service, tony.

McCAin made the same mistake that you and the Republican party are still making

He veered to the far right (one could even argue to the far radical right with the choice of Palin).

He should have run like the moderate he used to actually be and he would have had a much better chance of being POTUS

He tried to re-invent himself and only succeeded in turning off moderates and didn't get the conservatives who were never going to get behind him in the first place.  Basically he sold out and people on both sides of the aisle could see right through it.

The country will never get behind a far right agenda (call it "conservative" or whatever you want) again any time soon.
If the Repubs want to get out of the political desert they will move away from the far right of their party.   I believe some prominent members of the party knew this (remember the "listening tour" that Rush shit on and said they should go on a "talking" tour instead).

btw  - the word I think you were looking for is "voila"

LOL doesnt really apply when a person goes from senator to pres, they arent serving the original function they arent serving the state the way a senator would and if they are they are playing favorites and thats not really a good president is it?

I agree with your statement its about service but the end result was the same...deal with it

[Straw Man]

reread my posts numb nut...

it's called context

one left to take the highest political office in the world  (no mystery he would leave since he was running for the job for2+ years)

the other left office completely out of the blue in the middle of her term and gave no comprehensible reason whatsoever

Surely you understand the difference

[Straw Man]

Palin was not ready for the assault she faced and did a great job under the circumstances.     

not ready for an "assualt" by the media but somehow ready for the job

I guess Obama was just lucky the media didn't assualt him
