So now Palin Is going to run.. maybe (surprise surprise)

[keny]

this shit is fucking amazing. you cant make up shit like this:


"I would," she said on Fox News, where she is a paid contributor. "I would if I believed that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family. Certainly, I would do so."

"I think that it would be absurd to not consider what it is that I can potentially do to help our country. I don't know if it's going to be ever seeking a title, though. It may be just doing a darn good job as a reporter or covering some of the current events."



ok, fine. self serving, typical, average..

but!:

"Right now, I'm looking at . . . other potential candidates out there who are strong," she said. "They're in a position of having kind of this luxury of having more information at their fingertips right now."

HUH? i mean what?

"I don't know how it works," she said. "I'm just appreciative of having some good information at my fingertips right now."

wait.. didnt you JUST SAY everyone else has better information under their fingertips?

then:

"She said Obama could win re-election if he is seen as a tough president in a time of war. She said, for example, that he could play "the war card" by attacking Iran or express stronger support for Israel."

a FUCKING WAR CARD? is everything about strategy? about "playing some sort of card?" always?
wtf is a war card?

oh, yeah.. thats when you "have to re-elect bush and 'stay the course'"

so its at least established

""If he decided to toughen up and do all that he can to secure our nation and our allies, I think people would perhaps shift their thinking a little bit and decide, 'Well, maybe he's tougher than . . . he is today,' and there wouldn't be as much passion to make sure that he doesn't serve another four years."



are these even fucking actual sentences??

people actually see this as an actual opinion? as someone with any intellectual depth or even commonplace understanding of the world of politics, much less the world around her?

How can it be so hard for the Republicans to find someone to run for president?

Sarah Palin can't possibly be the best they can do can it? She is worse than George. She is not as bright as George. Man thats scary.

I could maybe see that she is the best that they can control, she is way way in over her head like Georgie was and will do what ever Grima Wormtongue suggests.

Where is the Capt America (who I'm pretty sure would be a republican) of the conservative party?!?

I imagine that alot of conservatives who could do the job, can't afford the paycut, or the cut in power.

I hope they run her. I'm starting to think they need to run their party all the way into the ground and hit bottom before the real conservatives can take back thier party from these maniacs who run it now. She would be just the small town gal to do it by gosh.

To quote King Leonidas "Pray they're that stupid"

heh

The only thing that would make it appear that the Republicans aren't completely imploding is the lack of unity on the Democratic side.

Palin represents the neocon fringe now. This group is primarily focused on a social agenda and they don't see a person like them representing their interests in government. Palin could just as well take this group off into a third party which would hurt the Republicans more than anyone else which is why the Republicans are even entertaining the fringe element because without them, they cannot counter the Democrats with a split vote no matter how badly the Dems screw up. Loyalty and unity in voting has been a Republican trait for a very long time and it's really being threatened.

The funny thing is that if the Republicans cannot find a good alternative in the next couple of years, I expect there will be a lot of conservative leaning folks not bothering to show up if Palin isn't nominated.

haha soon they'll be a heard of cats like the democrats..

i just.. i still cant believe this shit. yeah, she's pretty. so?

the shit that comes out of her mouth.. im not even talking about the propaganda or lies or stretches of the imagination.. im simply talking about the inane non-sentences, meandering explanations.. i mean its like she can..

well you tell me.. if i was in college, and they put me up front and asked:

"ken, whats your interpretation of the separation of powers?"

and i answered:

"well, its alot like this river here.. it flows and then it flows some more.. you see, real americans want to see something done about the separation of powers.. sort of like how they want something done about it, they say "this is what we want, and as an american, you know, the governments just not listening to these people.. its like these rural folks, you know, the real americans, who are in so many ways, like in the hearts of a mother bear and her cub, like it is in the cities. true conservative values, like in the heartland, these people want the real goodness that america provided once!"

im dumbfounded not by the subject of the debate, or the conflicting opinions.. im baffled by the fact that they even call this a debate! she doesnt say anything! anything at all! answers questions with shit that wasnt asked, dodges ANY sort of firm answer at all, simply distracts with little sayings and colloquialisms as though they have any meaning whatseover.

its like the supremem court calling a special session to hear the opinion of a four year old

[Y2Karma]

Shes not that pretty. She's pretty for a Republican, but thats not saying much. Her ass has a lot of spread to it..........ick.

heh

I'm real tired of the whole "Rural people are the real americans" bullshit.
First of all the republicans don't care about rural people. Every decision that they make is geared to benifit rich city people. They care about the massive food corporation (Did you know that most of our food comes from 1 of 5 companies?) not the farmer that grows the food. The only reason they like rural people is because they are simple they are relligious and easy to manipulate.
I love rural people. I love that complete strangers wave hello as you drive by. I love that I can walk down a street and I don't have to have my guard up and pay attention so I don't get mugged. They don't rush around like maniacs, and I think they have more time to appreciate the important things in life better than city folk who are way too busy maing money to think about much of anything. But they lack the experiance that you get from dealing with people that come from a completely different walk of life, and from going to completely different places and experianceing different cultures. Theres pretty much one culture here. Thats it. They lack the experiance neccesary to make decisions that are fair to everyone because their own perspective is very narrow. I've met nore racists here in three months than I did in Denver in 20 years. They are not angry evil racists, rural folks are alot more polite about it. But they don't know any better because they are rarely faced with it. What they don't seem to be able to grasp is that America is for them AND me, and just about anybody else that wants to come here. They think that since they found the answer to their simple life, that the same answer could apply to city life. It can't and it won't. For one thing we don't all go to the same church in a city. My small town has 1 bar, and 1 church, so it's their way or the highway.
It's OK with me I have no interest in hanging out with drunks and fools.

I don't go to the BAR either.

buddump bump

heh


Bottom line Mrs Palin, we are all real Americans. Well except for Alaskans, who are clearly freaks, and who, lets face it, are really just Canadians.

[cdgraves]

"because they are simple they are relligious and easy to manipulate."
this is some serious condescension. As much as I also disagree with the rural mentality, give them credit for being able to make their own decisions as much as you and I.

[Y2Karma]

Of course they are able to make their own decisions, but not as well as you and I. In order to make an informed decision you need some real life experiance. The reality is an afull lot of rural people never experiance anything beyond their own mayberry rfd existance. How can you make an informed decision about gay marriage if you never met gay person, and the only info you have came from father bob?

And you can't tell me that the republican party does not take advantage of that. Well you can try to tell me, but you will need a pretty good line of reason before I buy it.

Now thanks to them gawl dang internets, it's getting better. But the majority of people I meet here, as friendly and kind and peacefull as they are, should not be making decisions that effect people miles outside of their experience.

They think Marijuana is the same thing as Meth. I had to listen to one lady go on about how "them drug dealers in Denver are now putting it in lollypops and cookies in order to get kids hooked on it." Even church ladies in Denver know that is absolutely NOT why they put THC in lollys and cookies.

heh


BTW Tina Fey is going to revist her Palin on SNL.....looking forward to that!

[Goat]

Of course they are able to make their own decisions, but not as well as you and I.

WTF?????!!!!!!!!!

[Y2Karma]

Nice retort.

Here is one that even you can wrap your head around CK. Lets say they are going to pass a law about what history they are going to teach universally in public school. They ask 3 people to make the decision. You, me, and some southern hillbilly that has no radio, no TV, no internet, and still is a little PO'd about the war between the states. Is it really that outrageous to say that you are better informed do to your experience, than me (who doubts everything ) and the Hillbilly who knows nothing, thus making you better equiped to make the decision?

That doesn't mean you will make the right decision, or that I might make the wrong one. But if you were going to bet money on it, you are not going to go with the hillbilly you are going to go with the person better equiped with life experiance to make the decision. You are better able to make that decision than I.

How does that merit a WTF? It's not an insult. Some people are better equiped to compete in the winter olympics, should I be insulted that I was not considered able to join the speed skating team?

I guess to be politically correct I need to accept that if you want to make decisions based on your astrology chart thats a valid decision making process. If god tells you that gay is not OK I guess in your world I have to accept that decision making process. But in my world some people are better equiped to make decisions than others and thats all I'm trying to point out. I'm not saying they should not be allowed to decide things their way, even if it's throwing darts at a board. But Mrs Palin contends that rural people are somehow more real than "City Folk". If anything the opposite is true. Nothing replaces experiance, and the more varied that experiance, the better equiped you are to make decisions.

it's an obtuse hypothetical.
