LumRaiderFan Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 Good article...the libs will still hate her for some reason...maybe just for being a strong conservative pro-life woman. Even if never elected for office again, she will be a very effective fundraiser for the Republican conservative candidates. Quote

new tobie Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 Palin is the sole reason for the failure of the John McCain run for pres. Palin is a JOKE! Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
bullets13 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 Bullets- Can you give me your take on this article, please? It reads about as glowingly as Obama's article would read if it were written by the Democratic National Committee. Mr. Buddy Garrity and TxHoops 2 Quote
bullets13 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 http://voices.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/09/sarah_palin_and_the_bridge_to.html None of this made the Tea Party article. Quote
LumRaiderFan Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 Just never understood the absolute hatred towards the woman. Newtobie, why do you consider her a joke? Whether you like her or not, I think anyone would acknowledge she does have some accomplishments. Quote
5GallonBucket Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 Palin is the sole reason for the failure of the John McCain run for pres. Palin is a JOKE! i wouldnt say sole reason..... McCain is a neutral leaning liberal..... 77 1 Quote
bullets13 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 i wouldnt say sole reason..... McCain is a neutral leaning liberal..... which should've helped him a lot. Palin's nom for VP killed any chance he had. Quote
LumRaiderFan Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 which should've helped him a lot. Palin's nom for VP killed any chance he had. McCain or any other Republican had no chance in that election...people wanted a "change" so many voted for a one term Senator with no experience and a radical past with radical associates/mentors. Look how that turned out! Palin didn't cause McCain to lose IMO (we will never know) McCain lost because he was McCain...a squishy moderate. People elect Presidents, not vice-presidents. If I use that logic then Obama won because he picked the boob Biden, right? I don't think so. Quote
bullets13 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 With all due respect, in that election, with the state of the country at the time, an ultra-conservative would've lost much worse than McCain did. A "squishy moderate" was the GOP's best chance. Palin killed what nominal chance he did have, although I'll admit the GOP had very little chance to begin with. Quote
mat Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 McCain has always been considered a liberal-to-moderate republican EXCEPT during the election. The media portrayed him as too conservative during the election. (shocker) One of his problems was he was too dry and not polarizing and the party knew it. That’s why he picked Palin, to kick start the election and it somewhat worked in the beginning. It did take long for the media to unfairly break down her credibility. Granted she provided some opportunity with her gaffs. Quote

Granted she provided some opportunity with her gaffs. i wouldnt blame the media. i watched the majority of those debates, and he began portraying himself as more conservative in the end, IMO as an effort to appease the ultra-conservative right that was complaining because he was too liberal.

westend1 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Posted March 21, 2014 Just never understood the absolute hatred towards the woman. Newtobie, why do you consider her a joke? Whether you like her or not, I think anyone would acknowledge she does have some accomplishments. Palin is great because she "has some accomplishments", but Biden is a boob. Doesn't he have a few "accomplishments"? Quote

Did I say she was great because of her accomplishments...no. I said I didn't understand the hatred towards her and how she is dismissed as an idiot when she has manged some accomplishments. Biden has accomplished stuff as well, but he is a boob, everybody knows that. Quote

I agree an "ultra-conservative" wasn't going to win that election but an "ultra-liberal" did. Would you say that was a wise choice? Seems to me we need some "ultra-conservative" policies right now. (smaller fed gov, actual spending cuts, not just a slowed rate of increase) We made a poor choice for President TWICE and I can see it happening again. Quote
bullets13 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 I'm on record on here of saying I voted for Romney last election. Quote

You got this statement all jumbled up. It's "Palin is great because she has boobs," not "Biden is a boob." Mr. Buddy Garrity and TxHoops 2 Quote
