Sarah Palin Resigns as Alaska's Governor

Cool. Making a run at the White House in 2012 no doubt. She is hardly qualified.

and Obama is????:p I would speculate too, that this is her opening bid for the Whitehouse. Just like Carter set the stage for Regan, could Obama be doing the same for Palin?

OK, let the namecalling begin, here's a start; slutty, trashy, trailer parky, bimbo, stupid, etc.......

No doubt, a lot of speculation as to her motives.

But I find it refreshing to see a politician walk away without being forced to. Most of 'em you couldn't drag out by the heels.

Chas

Interesting to note also that she was cleared of all 15 ethics allegations (many of which were obviously trivial stabs by haters). The thing that makes her so interesting to me, is the fact that the left hasn't hated someone this much that I can remember. You have to wonder why.;)

Yeah, if The Right called some of the Left's icons anything close to the venom that's been spewed upon Sarah, the Shite-Storm would be unending..."Slutty Librarian/Stewardess/Whatever"....Can you see somebody saying something like THAT about Hitlery or The Hollow-Eyed Aging Hippie from Hate-Assbury & gettin' away w/it ?

If the left offered up a presidential candidate as ridiculous as Palin the same outrage and spoofs would be just as front and center. I admit that this can never be proved as neither the right nor the left has ever pulled a stunt like this before or are ever apt to again.

Um, are you not counting the guy that's in the white house now? The one, that in 6 months has put this country so far in debt, that our grandchildren won't be able to pay it off? The one that excuses, and hung out with domestic terrorists? The one that voted twice, to let children from botched abortions lay dying without the benefit of medical care? The one that attended the good Reverend Wrights church of hating whitey and the America he stood for (for over 20 years)? The one that bought his house from convicted real estate swindler Tony Rezko? The one that promised that NO American making under 250k would have a tax raise under his administration? The one with (to use the lefts wording) a slutty trailer park mother and dirt-bag alcoholic father? The one that voted "present" 95% of the time when he would make it to the votes in the Senate? You aren't forgetting that one are you?:rolleyes:

No I am not.

I just watched the entire 18 minute resignation speech Sarah Palin made.

I am speechless.

Lets not forget...woman, wife, mother, grandmother and former Governor. :D

Funny... men in politics don't seem to get character assassination. Oh...they get scrutinized for their mental ability or policies...but women get the sexual adjectives tacked onto their names. She is a beautiful intelligent woman. Do you suppose some men feel threatened by her ability? Just wondering...any thoughts?

Helluva good rifle shooter, too, from what I hear...She sounds like the kind of person that I'd like to just "hang" with...I bet she & her husband would be a lot of fun...Just real, down to earth people. Barak & Michelle ? They don't impress me as being very friendly-I doubt if we would have much of anything to talk about. But then, I kinda doubt I would have got along w/McCain & his wife, either. I think I would have got along better w/Laura Bush than I would have w/George, too. Never much cared for that smartass, smirky, "I-Know-Something-YOU-Don't" grin he always had...Clinton would have been fun, if you coulda got him to unwind & let his guard down, get him talkin' about sports & chasing Tang De Poon...(grin)

She was definitely put under a stronger microscope then your usual candidate. Was it because shes a woman ? I would probably agree with you there. Not an equal world we live in yet..

That's probably part of it, but I find the left in general is threatened by her. Why else would they "still" be launching attacks on her. Can you imagine if she had a list of associates like Obama. The press (or whatever it has become), would have an absolute field day, of course it's no big deal if he has those associations.:confused:

I'm not threatened at all by Sarah Palin--she's toast if she thinks that she's qualified for the White House. I listened to her basketball analogies interview yesterday about "keeping the eye on the ball" for whatever...she's even funnier than Dan Quayle--she's a joke from the word GO. Her popular support was all about her snarky comments on the podium and her so-called good deals for Alaska (all of which have now gone sour). She's right at the top of the heap when it comes to political corruption and cover-ups with her behavior in Alaska.

George W. Bush was an incompetent and a War Criminal--he is the total cause for the mess we are in now and the perpetrator for the Iraq War based on false premises. Let's talk about those who are responsible for the mess we are in in the Middle East, and our financial mess and War Profiteering by the likes of Halliburton and all of the related companies doing sub-standard work in Iraq and getting paid whether the work was finished, correct or not. Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney and their entire legal staff in the White House for the last 8 years--the Torture Crew.

We cannot even imagine the financial mess that George Bush created for all of us to fix for the next 100 years or more--far worse than Bernard Madoff's crimes--trillions, not billions of dollars of corruption and deception.

Interesting, but do you reserve any blame for Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, or Harry Reed (for the finacial crisis).

They are politicians trying to correct the problems of the last corrupt regime. I don't necessarily agree with their methods, but that in no way absolves the previous regime of their crimes of deception and avarice. As President Obama has stated...it took years to create the problems that we face, but we will not be able to correct the problems in a few months.

I think that we as a country will be suffering the effects of George Bush's presidency for generations--he was the worst for us on Constitutional, financial, moral and legal grounds--the WORST--bar none.

[QUOTE=painter;2236] She is a beautiful intelligent woman [QUOTE]


I have never seen either displayed.

Can you point out something intelligent about her?

Ah dear friends, when the right looks at the financial crisis now they blame the left, but what they need to do is blame their hero, Ronald Reagan--it is he who was the reckless one in terms of starting the financial spiral.

The facts from Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/01/op...01krugman.html

Ronald Reagan, the so-called "Conservative" was hardly that at all--he was about as reckless as they come as it relates to our country's economic status, deficit spending, military-establishment build-up and policy.

A highly edited clip--that's hardly journalism.

I guess I must have different standards as I do not find Governor Palin to be either beautiful or intelligent.

Oh BTW, it was Paulson who started us down the road to massive debt and years of Republican neglect that allowed some banks get "too big to fail". A country that allows such dubious financial instruments as derivatives left the door open to thievery. Actually 'dubious' is too mild a word.

A major bank is in court here on charges of deliberately selling sub-prime mortgages to people they knew would default. But you sell the mortgage, take your points, then bundle them as derivatives and sell those, eureka you made money and took no risk - pure unadulerated greed.

I'll never understand the Palinphobes, whose one demensational view of her borders on a pathological hatred.

I suppose that's just the nature of politics.

Chas

Tell me her dimensions.

Did you watch her 18 minute resignation speech yesterday?

It was bizarre.

facts are facts

Palin resigns
 

Just watched it on You Tube, and it was pretty piss poor.

But cut her some slack, I'm sure this was a highly emotional moment for her, and she was shooting from the hip (no teleprompter), and trying to be polite at the same time.

To tell the truth, if people abused me as much as they have her, I'd be so damn vicious that no one would have the guts to get within arms length of me.

Chas

PS: Congratulations on having such a fine father. I'm sure that you are also quite proud.

The only way I can see someone arguing with filmed evidence, is emotionally. The people are sitting there, and the words are coming out of their mouths. It's not smoke and mirrors, or trick photography. I also find it one hell of a coincidence who Barny Frank was having a homosexual love affair with during that time.:rolleyes:

I have heard this hundreds of times in reference to her. If people are suggesting and she is accommodating them by being a national politician and running for president why should we cut her some slack?

The reason she is so abused is that she is in so far over her head and has a childish response to criticism. She makes every situation worse for herself by not shutting up.
Heck she played family feud with an 18 year old in the national press.
That speech yesterday was very representative of who and what she is.
Why is she not smart enough to understand that talking from notes to a national audience with childlike sports analogies is a bad idea?
Will they not sell her a tellepropmter?
Why does she not have a speech writer to properly package her ideas and views?
Why can't she understand that "shooting from the hip" as a president could lead to a world war, a collapsed economy..........?
Why has she no clue that her families image is what many if not most Americans consider dysfunctional?:confused:


Thank you very much for your kind words about my dad.
Have a great 4th.
We disagree a bit but you are a gentlemen and I certainly respect your views.

It's not smoke and mirrors

touche:D

Thanks, if that is your idea of a source there is no reason for me to respond.

In any event have a great 4th. :)

Character my friends...character...:eek:

A bizarre rambling speech like all of her other public statements...she says..."...I'm not a quitter..." interesting. A terse statement was all that was necessary. Very strange indeed. Like the SC governor's recent escapades, I think that there is more here that is not yet, but about to be revealed.

Foot in mouth

Palin does have some competition when it comes to incoherent statements.

Chas

She has no peeps in this regard.

I don't think so. I agree that if she were "normal" you are reaching the logical conclusion but she is not logical and her actions are bizarre and there is no more to it.
One thing I think was clear from her speech was that she thinks she came up with a way to reinvent the wheel and she is excited about it. She really believes that the average American is as superficial as her.

You two are definately entertaining.:p

Thanks, but we'll never be as entertaining as P girl.

that speach was 18 minutes of comedic performance art that I will enjoy for years

Similar to some folks hatred of the Clintons doncha think?
