This country has no idea what it's missing by not having a crack shot in Washington. Cheney being excluded.
Too bad Frank or Dodd wasn't in her sights. ;)
Hmmmmm. If she were good at shooting people that would have made her a qualified Vice President, right????????????
God I love it! McCain gave those damn liberals something thing to worry about and to talk about for over 2 months. She was the highlight of this dull political year. Gracious even in losing which is more than I can say for the other party. Losing isn't in their vocabulary and they will litigate to prove it.:LOL:
I can't say that I would support her in 4 or even 8 years, but she doesn't bring a certain amount of freshness to the table. Maybe it will rub off on future candidates. :D We could all use a touch of realilty from time to time.:eek::D
Say what you will about Gov. Palin, but she is the most refreshing politician I've seen in years. She's "down home", see's what is wrong with this country, she believes in "GOD" and has morals, sure she has a a "funny" accent and turn of phrase(so do a heck of a lot of other people from across this country)... that's why the liberals and left hate her and mock her... she has morals and believes in "GOD" they hate that...is she qualified to be President...probably...she has a lot more experience running a state than most of those in national office today trying to be senators and congress men and women, ...I don't know what this country will be like in 2012 so I can't say who I'd vote for then...But if it hasn't shown any improvement in how were governed, from local to national my vote will go to removing the career politicians.
She's phony as a three dollar bill, and about the same level of corruptness as the Daly regime in Chicago!!!!! You guys should be ashamed of yourselves getting all goo-gooey over someone like her.....
No, I didn't vote for the other party either..... Ron Paul was the only one running who even had a clue what was going on in the world....
Gotta wonder though, who was the idiot that stuck her on the ticket with McCain???? and what the heck happened to him??? I remember when he had a pair and would actually take a stand on the issues.... Then some idiots stick 'lil Miss Fony with him, and we were all supposed to believe it was real.....
The '08 election only proved one thing to me, NEITHER party has a clue or gives a hoot what's going on out here in the real world!!!! Politics has become nothing more or less then who can pull the biggest scam. Should be good news for the Repulican party, as screwed up as this whole country is they can spend 4 years blaming the Democrats and maybe heal up the party a bit after the last 8 years of fiasco with good old Cowboy George!!!!
i would not say all that they did look in to her for dirt they did not find much if any....they did not do much of that on the other side the chicago machine was the dem s ?? can you say obama any body looking in to barny frank ? is boy friend was in the housing loan bs while frank was telling every one the sky was not falling it was :whacked:
Hey, don't expect me to defend the Democrats either.... In all these discussion I've said that this arachaic two party system is worthless and all that ever gets done is blame the other party and CYA...... I haven't heard one good positive thing out of anyone about what they intend to do to fix things, only what the other guy has done to mess it up.
And, the eternal question.... Are you better off now then you were 8 years ago???? All I see happening in the next 4 years is business as usual, except that we will have a role reversal and the Democrats will be in power and the Republicans will be saying I told you so..... DD, SS
pay out to every one with a hand out watch the dollar drop in the $hitter .sit back watch how bad it going to get. there will be a lot of hungry broken people with not one thing left to loose they will be out on the streets and in your front yards. we have not seen anything yet .i really hope i am wrong
Sarah Palen was a marketing strategy genius. I do not watch the political B.S. rambligs during election time. I never heard a whole lot about or from Mccain, until they brought Sarah Palen to the table. Over night the entire world knew about her, whether you voted or not you were now watching what was going on politically. She was attractive with a bubbly attitude and she was planted there to draw major attention, AND IT WORKED. Sex sells and washington just got pretty.
I hate to say it, but Pat is probably unfortunately right. At the rate we are financially spiralling downward. There are going to be millions more without jobs in the coming year. Weve had a lot of new large buildings under construction around here, they are half complete and they have pulled the plug and they sit idol because the owners have no jobs to fill them with.
The crime rate is going to go through the roof. The only companies showing profit are Winchester, Ruger, Mossberg, and all the other gun and ammo manufacturers (probably in China anyway), and of coarse the oil industry. The government says they know its bad, but they truely have no idea until the idiots running the show, throw thier wallets away and try to find a job and live on 10 bucks an hour. Out of sight out of mind.
I now love all the TV programs telling how you should manage your money, and make yourself more hireable for a job, NO ONES HIRING. Our papers job section is about half its normal size, mostly part time work, and 7 to 10.00 an hour jobs.
I loved this one so I ran it again.

Every so often in life events occur that show what people are REALLY made of. Lots of folks will pretend to be politically even handed in their words, but then we get to see how they behave. We here a bunch of people decry our political system, how it seems rigged, how not enough "regular" people get involved. Mainly lawyers, rich socially connected, and politically corrupt players seem to be the only ones that get elected. They'll tell how much better it would be if "real" people got involved.........that's someone they could vote for! It's enough to peg your BS meter!
So we have a woman who decides to "do something". No privelege from annointed parents, no wealthy grandpa to support a life of leisure, no fancy ivy league university experience and connections. Just a working housewife who thinks one day, "hey, I want to do something about that!". Joins the PTA, works to make a difference. Decides to try the city council, works to make a difference. Runs hard to become mayor of her town, works to make a difference. Works her way through some mid level state government positions, seemingly effective along the way. Then, has the timerity to challange a corrupt governor in her own party and beats him. Sounds a lot like the fairy tale story so many "common citizens" keep pining for.
Then we have another woman, born of privelege, who is protected in her youth from over exposure to snoopy press slugs. Who then leads an apparently decent though mostly private life as an adult. Doesn't show any apparent political skill or interest...................until one day, for whatever reason, she decides she wants to be APPOINTED Senator of New York State. After all let's not dirty our hands with that lowly politicing morass, how common!
The one who worked her way up the ladder the hard way gets pummeled, prodded, slashed, and burned (a little humor isn't bad, but visciousness....something else). The "Princess" gets the red carpet rolled out as if her being gifted a high plitical position without ever having worked for it is as natural as a sunrise.
I'm not saying this is a matter of agreeing as much about the politics of either woman. I'm talking about the personal attacks or blind loyalty. Where people actually line up on those two tells you everything you need to know about their sincerity about representative government. It bends the needle on my BS meter.
Well said Bob,
I enjoy your putting whats real out there. I agree with everthing you said. I was always for the other side but I liked Sara, and switched. But they did a number on her.

What a joke!!!! Neither of the women involved have any business being in politics--one because of corruptness and an honor grad of the "good old boys" school--the other a small town small time big mouth who has to have the big buck boys buy here clothes and don't let her talk much..... But, as always, because of party affilitation, one is seen as the good witch, the other as the bad witch.....

Truthfully, judging both by their abilities, would you hire either of them to run your company, let alone you country?????
Face it, neither party could come up with qualified people who could take a stand on issues and speak intelligently about it so they resorted to politics as usual and could only make feeble attempts using innuendo and sometimes bold faced lies to degrade the other candidates....
I kept waiting for someone to have a POSITIVE AND WORKABLE plan that I could endorse and get behind--it didn't happen. We've learned to accept whoever is the best name caller and can bring up the most negative points about their opponent as the "best candidate"....
No matter who wins, it doesn't matter..... Cooperation and programs that are good for the entire country and all the people in it are no longer vogue... It's all about we're good and they're bad....Meanwhile to heck with what is good for the majority, let's just take care of those who donate the most money to our campaign.....
Nothing in politics is real, just a charade. Whomever plays their role the best is declared the winner. Qualifications and real solutions no longer are a consideration....
