But they hate her! Why????

she's just the wrong 'sort'

she ignores the politically correct thought police, and refuses to march lock-step with the left wing propaganda machine...

how dare she be so successful without their party-line!

see how dems oppress people and dole out little scraps of reward?

its the same model as their entitlement program, keep 'em down and dependent, is their motto!

Good point.

She's attractive and she's married to a man. That's two strikes against her right there.

I'll bet she would be loved dearly if she was a lesbo.

Not a damn negative word would come out against her.

Wow... that's a cool quote. I'm going to remember that one. I wish somebody would have told me this one BEFORE I got married.

I simply cannot get enough of the current state of Politics. I heard Sean Hannity on the Radio today (and a local show as well), and he/they read a New York Times article from 1984. In this article, the NYT discussed Geraldine Ferraro and her run against President Ronald Reagan as the Democrat Vice Presidential Candidate to Democrat U.S. Presidential Candidate Walter Mondale. I could not believe what I was hearing, the article was nothing but absolutely supportive of the idea of common Americans, without deep Political backgrounds, being more than qualified to run for the office which she was seeking. It praised her, and praised all who decide they wish to achieve the highest office in this land. There were no attacks on either side of the Political Aisle, only support all around. I wonder, what has happened to the State of Affairs in these United States? Why are people so nasty? Why is the Media being so blatantly biased?

Why can the news NOT simply report FACTS?!

Even George Clooney's father, Nicholas Clooney, a Liberal Journalist and Professor at American University, stated that he is absolutely disgusted with the current state of "Journalism", if you can even label it as that. He said that stories which used to be reserved for Tabloids such as the National Enquirer, are now actually being run as Mainstream News. He also said that such disgusting stories, such as the attacks on Sarah Palin's family (children included), would have never been put into press when he was a Journalist. Nicholas Clooney stated as a matter of fact that such stories would have been tossed out in his days, because they are nothing short of complete filth and garbage.

Maybe I should post this in the predictions forum, but because the wheels came off this train long ago, I will take my chances that it will not get deleted as "off topic"

Whats next? Let's beat them to the punch and predict the next Palin story to come up.

I'm putting my money on that Sara Palin is really a Siren! Hmm, maybe it should go into the Mythical beast forum

She is really a Siren and has lured all of us into voting for her only to make us fall in love, then she will eat the flesh off of our bones.

Special thanks to Sheeple for pointing out the AP story about the Palin seduction thing which made me think of this.

Well if anything, maybe it's a new thread topic for you jamie. I seriously can't decide which forum to post this in, so go for it if you like.

Many stars and flags for you jamie. I really enjoy ALL of your threads and look foward to the next.

On a side note. One less star for you TruthWithin, I had an itchy trigger finger and fired a star you way, when it was actually suppose to go to jamie. my bad.

Very insightful observation loam, as usual. I may not always agree with you but I enjoy reading your posts. Just wanted you to know.

Two examples of it would be Pelosi shutting down any meaningful debate in the House on a variety of topics and even more recently Oprah trying to not have Palin on her own show for fear of hurting Obama's campaign. Somebody seems afraid of the other side, if you ask me.

Thank you for the compliment.

Those are good examples.

With respect to Pelosi (and the prospect of a fully Democratically controlled Congress), I have to say this too: Just wait until the Democrats perfect all of the shiny little toys (read evisceration of the Constitution) Bush and the Neocons have acquired for them over the last eight years. Things are just gettin' started. Mark my words.

Now, on the Oprah and not wanting to hear the other side thing...

I think it demonstrates quite nicely why things will NOT improve in the near term. There is no commitment to heal the divide in this country. Fear governs our decisions...our world view...our interactions with one another. We consider anyone with an opposing view as ......dangerous.....even if that means our fellow citizens.

Think about that. I mean REALLY think about that.

I would have thought that after the political nonsense of the last eight years, SOMEONE (Democrats) would have finally taken the opportunity to lead by example-- a demonstration of the way it should be done; governance where differences are given a voice...respected...and only ever refuted with intellectual honesty.

But that ain't gonna happen.

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. But it's pretty pathetic when for the last eight years Democrats have be screaming about fairness, only to find that what they really have in mind is more of the same but with them in charge.



Bend over, 'cause I'm afraid it's really gonna hurt this time.

Thanks!

I like the idea of predicting what will be next. Of course there will be "Palin's a racist" story. That came out today.

I'll bet there will be a story about Todd Palin using the N-word, or somebody else in her family. Maybe Bristol's boyfriend.

But let's think... they would need to discredit her conservative cred and he womanhood somehow.... let me think.....

How about this one... she had an abortion when she was dating a black guy before she met Todd?

The baby isn't really hers.

Probably stuff about the clothes she wears. Either too middle-class like she got them at Wal-Mart or too expensive and she's an elitist.

How about rumors that Cindy McCain is jealous and John McCain is a little TOO close to Sarah?

I'm guessing we'll see all of these before we're done.

I like that one, but I really like the thought of Cindy and Sarah getting a little too close personally.

Oops, not a one liner, I'm just a noob and forgot to write this all out vertically.
