No one knows

Do they ...

Speculation

Everything the pundits and talking heads are doing is nothing but speculation at this point.

But, the left continues to fear her so much that they won't relent with their despicable attacks on her and her family.

Maybe she'll have her own show like Huckabee.  Maybe Fox has wised up and ditched Geraldo and will replace his show with "Sarah!" 

Maybe She'll REPLACE Huckabee

For the good of the network and the good of the country.

→ CWG

That would be overkill IMHO.

I liked Reagan's morning radio blurbs, and they were only 3-4 minutes.

And also for good of the

And also for good of the country, she'll not play her guitar in a business suit. 

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

I put other

 I think she is going to seek reparations because the world is so tough on female politicians. Poor poor Palin, the consummate victim.

You must not have a daughter...

I'm guessing you don't have a daughter or are a hypocritical liberal who thinks the children of politicians are 'fair game' as Begala and other liberal losers have conveniently stated.  I don't think much of Palin and believe she's in way over her head in politics, much thanks to McCain who should have chosen Romney as VP, but that doesn't make her children fair game for political jabs.  Wise up.

I have a daughter

I just don't want to see the GOP prop up a paper tiger that can't handle tough press. If she can't handle an attack on her kids from some twit in the press, how the hell is she going to handle an attack on the United States? She is the caricature of what men used to paint as the problem with a woman President.

http://newsbusters.o...

prop up a paper tiger?

with the MSM applying the full court press to discredit her, and then, attacking her family-why would she not want to back up a step or two. Begala and his band of thugs, i'm sure will reap some Palin wrath down the road a piece. Begala is a panderer and procured for Clinton, and perhaps a pedophile, and yet he slams Sarah, wow-tough to throw stones back-now she can, travel the country without being accused of whatever-I am hoping the gloves are off-she turns the sunlight on all the rats-on both sides of the aisle.

BHO-  THE PROGRESSIVE PIRATE

 

 

 

Did you have the same

Did you have the same disregard  for Al Gore's DUI son?  

I didn't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows.  -Bart Simpson

 

The clown in the Pria?

 Yes. And the same disregard for Al Gore.

http://newsbusters.o...

→ Is that fair?

Seems to me there should come a time when the parent is no longer responsible for the actions of the child.

But if you want to blame Al for his son's DUI, I guess that's your business.

It's about 10 o'clock in the morning here

I don't know the time where you live, but I'd bet its late enough that both of your eyes should be open. Somehow, you confused me saying I disregard media attacks on Al Gore's son (and even Al Gore), with that nonsense you posted. It didn't come from my post. It came from your sleep deprived head :)

http://newsbusters.o...

→ Sleep-deprived?

It's 1045 here.  I was sleeping by 0100.  You do the math.

The question to you was:

Do you have the same disregard for Al Gore's DUI son?

Your answer "yes"

I'm off for 10 days, watching the market, Spongebob, and grandkids.

Life is good.

All children of politicans

Republican, Democract or other should be left out of the political life of their parents in my opinion. 

→ Yeah, right

So you'd be much more comfortable with a strong-willed Hillary who makes her mark from the coattails of her husband.

I don't remember the caricature to which you refer, unless you liken this to Obama's snivelling to Maureen Dowd "Don't make fun of my ears".

Thats a leap in logic

So you'd be much more comfortable with a strong-willed Hillary who makes her mark from the coattails of her husband. 

No. Why in the heck would I be? Because I say the GOP shouldn't prop up a paper tiger you think I support a liberal paper tiger? Thats weird logic. I don't support any paper tiger, and that included Obama.

The caricature of old, was a very emotional/neurotic woman President firing off a missile because some world leader said her dress made her look fat. A lot like Kim Jong-il, come to think of it :)

http://newsbusters.o...

Are you an idiot?  She was

Are you an idiot?  She was seeing her time and effort going to nothing but protecting her and her family.  She has spent bucos of money from stupid lawsuits, most likely from people like you.

I see it as a good move whatever happens.  Sometimes in war retreat is necessary to regroup and plan startegy to win the war.  Wars are more than one battle.

You see a lot of generals quitting in the middle of the battle?

I think they call that desertion.

http://newsbusters.o...

What is she deserting? 

What is she deserting?  She is being pelted by many slings and arrows without respite and here resources are being used up.  She is using so much time, energy and money defending against baseless lawsuits and rumors she will use up her limited resources.  So like many good generals she regroups at a base and resupplies and gains new recruits.

She was ambushed in the pass and before she was massacred she retreated.  She has now attacked teh enemy on her terms.

A good general knows to attack when we are ready not before if possible.

So Custer, what say you?

You'd Move nwahs

She's had 15 phony ethic charges filed against her by liberal, democrat peons in Alaska trying to break her financially as well as tarnish her image. There was no end in sight.

I'm sure if you had a wealthy neighbor dragging you to court every other month, your finances would be strained and your job performance, if you work, would suffer. my bet is that you'd move.

Sarah did what was in her and her states best interest.

I don't see how quitting in

I don't see how quitting in the middle of her term is in any state's best interest. 

Agreed

It's not hard to imagine how any opponent, be it during the primary season or in the general election couldn't use Palin's resignation before the end of her term as a portent issue.

Well she spent more time in

Well she spent more time in office as Governor than your Messiah did as the Senator from Illinois.  Bambi was derelict in his duties as a Senator from Day 1.  Gov. Palin has accomplished more as Governor than the Zero has in his entire life.

The Obama Administration: THE most fiscally irresponsible Administration EVER

I don't deagree with your

comment but its not the time in office but the resignation before the end of her term that will linger in the mind of voters in my opinion.

 No politican would ever serve as a messiah for me.

 

My comment was in response

My comment was in response to Bal not you.  Bambi is Bal's Messiah, which is why he does everything he can to defend and support him even when he is wrong.

Now, don't forget that Bob Dole resigned from the Senate so he could run for President, something the libs won't do.  Slithery and Bambi both stayed in the Senate as they were campaigning.  It is entirely possible Gov. Palin is freeing herself to pursue a higher office without having to deal with the logistics and constant cr@p she has had to put up with since being the Veep candidate for McCain.

The Obama Administration: THE most fiscally irresponsible Administration EVER

He's far from my messiah.

He's far from my messiah. That's a stupid statement.

And those others resigned to either take jobs they had just been elected to, or to run for them. Palin, as far as I can tell, is doing neither. 

Keep saying that to

Keep saying that to yourself Bal.  It is only you who you are fooling.

The Obama Administration: THE most fiscally irresponsible Administration EVER

I think you have the bends.

I think you have the bends. Surface slowly.

Very funny.  Your posts

Very funny.  Your posts sound like your either narc'd or breathing to much CO2. Try breathing some air every now and then.  With your head so far up your messiah's tukus your not getting much oxygen.

And of course you are not condemning Bambi or Slithery from NOT doing the job they were elected to do while they were campaigning for Pres.

Hypocrite.

The Obama Administration: THE most fiscally irresponsible Administration EVER

I said I didn't think her

I said I didn't think her quitting was in Alaska's best interest. Not sure how that "sounds" like I'm "narc'd or breathing to much CO2."

Balboa and ACW, Funny, no

Balboa and ACW,

Funny, no Liberal or member of the media complained when President Obama, as Senator, started running for the Presidency fo the United States from his first day in office. While not officially abandoning his post, he pretty much did this.

Obama was MIA, much like John Kerry and in fact John McCain while they all ran for the Presidency, where was the media? where were the Liberals and those Conservatives that are complaining about this back then? They were silent, they did not care. So please! the fake outrage is stupid and pathetic.

Obama did NOTHING for the State of Illinois while U.S. Senator and in fact when he became President he abandoned his seat as United States Senator. Where was the outrage?  So, it is ok to abandon a political seat to move on to another one, but it is not ok to abandon a political seat for personal, family reasons? can you Liberals explain your logic hear?

If it was bad for Palin to abandon her Governorship in Alaska, why isn't it equally bad for Obama to abandon his United States Senate seat? 

Funny, no Liberal or member

Funny, no Liberal or member of the media complained when President Obama, as Senator, started running for the Presidency fo the United States from his first day in office.

The point here is that she quit a job that she campaigned for and was elected to for 4 years.  Had the people of Alaska known she'd quit early, there's a chance they would have elected someone else.  Had Obama quit as senator, you'd have something to compare here.  Or at least you can compare the months she was not governing Alaska while campaigning for VP.  We will know more about why she actually quit in months to come, but this female Messiah for the conservative party has so far left many questions yet to be answered. 

→ Right on, Death Watch

It's not as though Obama made any sort of commitment, is it?

 

SEN. OBAMA: I
will serve out my full six-year term. You know, Tim, if you get asked
enough, sooner or later you get weary and you start looking for new
ways of saying things. But my thinking has not changed.

MR. RUSSERT: So you will not run for president or vice president in 2008?

SEN. OBAMA: I will not.

"No new taxes." Breaking

"No new taxes."

Breaking commitments is standard in politics. 

→ OK bal

So why are you commenting at all?

I'm not taking a side here.  I'm just having fun with everybody who thinks it's just scandalous she would step down.

All I did was point out Obama broke such a promise too.  You pointed out Bush Sr.

But I don't have enough information at my disposal to decide what ulterior motives Palin has for her action.

Cacciato went so far as to promise Palin is going to jail.  I don't want to look that foolish, so I'm trying out the Balboa Socratic Dialogue technique.

It's tough, though, given it requires absolutely no input, just questions.

CA, I commented because I

CA,

I commented because I disagreed with the post saying Palin was doing what was best for Alaska. 

I think Palin resigned because she -- or her advisors -- realized it would be a win/win situation for her. 

→ A beautiful mind?

Given the adversarial nature of the parties, I don't see how a "win/win" is in the cards.

You must be thinking deeper thoughts than I.

Really? Her quitting allows

Really?

Her quitting allows her to do more speaking engagements, go on more shows, write a book, and then later, if the wind is blowing the right way, run for higher office. 

Also, any criticism of this move can be framed as "They're still picking on me," and "politics as usual," and justification is given that shows her being selfless, all of which endear her further to her base.

She wins on this one, any way you look at it. 

 

→ Yes really

Win/win, by definition, assumes a positive outcome for both parties in a contest.

Your claim would then be that she and her entourage chose to allow a win for the Liberals.

I'm just asking you to explain the logic of your claim that both sides win as a result of Palin's deliberate intent.

All you've described thus far is how she assumes she wins on multiple levels.  That is not win/win.

Ah, I see what you're

Ah, I see what you're saying. I incorrectly used "win/win."

I should have said that Palin's move is a win for her, all the way around. 

→ Then, we agree

I'm not sure her aspirations are political office.

I'm not sure I want her to run.

I understand being so overburdened with a situation that it's simply untenable.

I walked away from a mortgage when I was younger. 

I still believe I did the correct thing for me and my family, and it gives me a life experience from which I can condemn anybody who thinks they deserve a government bailout for biting off more house than they could afford.

Balboa, Is this not what

Balboa,

Is this not what Obama did? He had to quit his Senatorial position to move on to the Presidency, win/win situation for him. Was it the best thing for Illinois? we are not left with Burris and DICK Durbin.

and let us be honest. Obama might as well have quit the second he was elected United States Senator for Illinois. The man ran for the Presidency from the one. He abandoned his Senatorial position LONG before he was elected President of the United States, but oh wait since it is Obama, the Liberal Messiah, the person that stands above the world like God, it is ok for him to do it.

Incredible that Liberals are such sad hypocrites.

So, politics according to Liberals.

It is ok for Liberal politicians to quit their political posts so they can pursue other political posts.

It is NOT ok for Conservative politicians to quit their political posts so they can puruse other political posts.

I am sorry Balboa, but you have to admit that the hypocrisy on the left on this issue is pathetic.

"No new taxes." BreakingJuly

"No new taxes." BreakingJuly 6, 2009 - 14:57 ET by balboa

"No new taxes."

Breaking commitments is standard in politics. 

 

Funny Balboa, Obama also said and promised that if the Stimulus package became law, back in Feb., unemployment would never go above 8%. There are quite a few quotes by Obama saying this.

Funny how a Republican breaks a promise and he commits political suicide, but if a Democrat breaks a promise he becomes a better and greater individual in the eyes of the Democratic party voters. Tells you something about the amoral or ignorant voters that make up the Democratic party.

Do you want to start listing

Do you want to start listing politicians who campaign while serving in office?  I seem to think there was another US Senator campaigning for president in 08.  

→ But why KDW?

Did I make any mention of making such a list?

But if that's what you want to do, feel free.

Cool, you're arguing that

Cool, you're arguing that Obama pledged to commit his full 6 years to his senate seat when he was elected, as every elected official does.  Neither Obama, McCain, Biden or Palin intended to finish out their elected term in the race for president. The difference here is that she's quitting in the middle of her term, with no future plans.  If she really quit for the reasons she announced during her press conference, fine.  If there's another reason, she owes it to the people who elected her to office for 4 years to tell the truth.

Do you want to start listing politicians who campaign while serv

Yes, WHILE SERVING. :)

I'll check back on it later for penmanship, grammar, and presentation.

ILTK, Are you kidding?

ILTK,

Are you kidding? President Obama, as US Senator from Illinois promised to ride out all full SIX YEARS! hmmmm....funny how the media is not holding him accountable, funny how YOU are not holding him accountable to his broken promises. HE DID QUIT AS SENATOR! get a clue!

Do you think that the people of Illinois would have elected Obama as their Senator had they known he would be quitting 1/3 of the way into his Senatorial obligations? the people of Illinois elected him for SIX years, not for TWO!

So, explain how it is ok for Obama to quit, but it is not ok for Sarah Palin to quit.

You have proven my point! You Liberals and the media are a bunch of hypocrites!

 

If I have to explain it to you, then....nevermind...

 

As you may presently yourself be fully made aware of, my grammar sucks.

→ Tru dat

If you have to explain anything, we'll never see it.

Have you finished that list yet?

Liberallies, I think he

Liberallies,

I think he served less than 1/3 of his term.  Let's not forget he announced his candidacy how long after being sworn in as Senator?  Let's look at it this way, 6 years = 2,190 day of which he worked how many? 147 days or so?

The Obama Administration: THE most fiscally irresponsible Administration EVER

It's obvious that Obama's

It's obvious that Obama's heart was never in the Senate...it was just a quick - and I mean quick - stepping stone to what he really had his eye on. 

How dare anyone

How dare anyone find it peculiar that a governor would quit 2 and a half years into their first term so they don't "milk" being a lame duck.

She certainly doesn't mind milking being a victim.

Palin could commit armed robbery and some of you Palin heads would defend it as good for the country.

http://newsbusters.o...

Nwhas, Maybe you can

Nwhas,

Maybe you can explain...

Why is it ok for Obama to quit, abandon his Senatorial position two years into it, after promising to complete the ful six years AND the people of Illinois electing for the full six years, not two, but it is not ok for Sarah Palin to quit, abandon his Governorship after serving longer than Obama served as US Senator from Illinois?

Maybe you can explain the glaring hypocrisy of the left wing position on this issue.

It is NOT about Palin, but about the media, YOU, the Liberals crying about Palin quitting, but you fools certainly did not mind when Obama broke his promise and quit his Senate seat.

 

Obama didn't quit until he was elected

 Obama quit because he was elected President. Palin quit because she grew tired of her job. Both of them, and a couple of more, shirked their duties to run the primaries and election, but that American politics. Quitting the last year and a half of your term because you don't wanna be a lame duck is not America politics. Its weird. No one becomes a lame duck until they decide to be a lame duck. I didn't vote for Obama, but its ridiculous to compare his situation with Palin's. Its apples and oranges.

http://newsbusters.o...

Shawn, I think it's official

Shawn, I think it's official time to recognize Palin as the Messiah for the Conservative Party.

ILTK, Don't be such a

ILTK,

Don't be such a dumb, ridiculous, immature child.

I for one would not vote for Sarah Palin right now. I believe she needs a lot more experience than what she has.

I am not defending Sarah Palin's actions, but pointing to the obvious Liberal hypocrisy on this issue.

It is YOU the one that has Obama as the Messiah who can do no wrong.

your refusal to acknowledge that Obama did exactly the same thing as Palin and you did not care proves that the one that holds politicians to Messiah status are petulant Liberal children such as you.

Both Sarah Palin and Obama left, quit, aboandoned their political posts to puruse other endevours. The left only believes that Palin did wrong, they actually applauded Obama's actions.

So, stop projecting who you are and how you think unto others.

 

 

Go for it, know-it-all.

Go for it, know-it-all.  Find one pro-Obama statement in my history.  One time when I speak of Obama in any terms even close to Messianic.  Know who you're talking to before you make things up.

ILTK, Look at your

ILTK,

Look at your refusal to admit that Obama quit, abandoned his United States Senate seat in order to pursue his personal ambitions.

Don't make it so easy.

Look at how hot and bothered you are about Palin, look how you claimed that Palin is officially the Conservative Messiah because we are pointing out to the obvious hypocrisy of yoru statements and stances.

I would ask you, my petulant child to point out where anyone here has elevated SArah Palin to a messiah status as you claimed.

If you only held your god to the same standards that you hold Sarah Palin you would come across as fair, intelligent and coherent. But do not worry, I do not expect you to meet the high standards that you demand from others or Conservative politicians.

Youa re the typical, run of the mill hypocrite Liberal that you find in the USA. You are but a mindless, carbon copy, drooling Obamabot that will say and do anything to protect your god Obama.

Hold Obama to the same standards that you are holding Sarah Palin, I dare you.

You're a moron.  Please

You're a moron.  Please read my history.  You've done nothing but make false accusations about me in every one of your posts.  I did not vote for Obama, so stop comparing me to people who did.  I have acknowledged on half a dozen posts that Obama did not finish up his term.  How can you be so incredibly dense that you don't see the difference between what he did and what Palin did?  Unless your ENTIRE argument is simply, Obama did it, so it's okay for Palin to do it it? 

Doesn't take long for you to be reduced to name calling does it?

ILTK...  well, your name is totally a clue into your mind.

Keep stalking, kangaroo.

Keep stalking, kangaroo.  One of these days you'll need an actual argument to be taken seriously.  You've yet to do that with me, although I'm sure your little illiterate automatons will disagree, gang mentality and all.

Thats a common tactic here

 Flinging sheep poo is a common tactic around here. Its accepted and encouraged. After David Letterman made his infamous joke about Palin's daughter, I said I thought it was gross but I didn't think it was meant as a child rape joke. That little jack in the box imbecile you arguing with accused me a being a NAMBLA member. This is one of the few boards on the net that little scab could survive on.

http://newsbusters.o...

Cool, I ruffled the two little troll sisters? NWAHS & ILTK?

Stalking is a common tactic?  How is it possible for me to come and discuss topics on any given day and any given thread w/o stepping in either one of your crappy posts? 

You both know that would be impossible unless you are just wishing that I would leave you alone to call other members on the NB's site names as we just witnessed with ILTK to liberallies.

BTW NWAHS, I have survived on many a liberal board like the fray over at slate and not to mention the Red Star Tribune site amongst other liberal and conservative rags.

Just an FYI ladies... I do not intend to let up on you : )

I pretty much ignore you, NAMBLA man

I really doubt you survive on any board that requires a brain or  doesn't tolerate inappropriate sexual innuendo.

http://newsbusters.o...

I could not care less, NWAHS. You who have been elected as #1

idiot by NBs.

Obviously, I cannot prove a negative and that you care nothing, but to throw around your name calling anyhow. 

You would not believe the world was round unless it bit you on the butt.

Thanks for sharing your 'wisdom'...   

Kangaroo, why is it that you

Kangaroo, why is it that you hunt me out on every single day just to tell me my argument doesn't work, and never have anything to back it up?  Can you answer that?  I must really be a thorn in your side for you to be so obsessed with me that you really feel the need to do this same thing, day after day.  

Here is your problem, ILTK. First, you say I am Kangaroo..WRONG

Second, you keep asserting that I 'hunt you' every single day.  WRONG. 

- No comment necessary.

Third, you state that I do not back up my assertions.  WRONG.

- In fact, one of my 'unfounded' assertions (liberallies) has been ripping you a new one for the past hour or so...  I merely pointed out that you are doing what you usually do.  

Fourth, you say you must be a 'thorn in my side' ...  WRONG. 

- Most of the bias displayed here at NBs is a no brainer for us with brains... the only thing that becomes provacative for us here is pick apart the no brainers argument who want us brainers to think there really is no bias.

* Now where the rubber meets the road.  Put the majority of us brainers in few threads that pop up on a daily basis with the handful of those with no brains (you and NWAHS, Jen7, etc) and voila!  Can you guess whether the majority brainers or those with no brains stands out for comment?

** Let's be honest...well, I mean I hope you can be honest with yourself...  We have had discussions before and you just resort to name calling and haven't stopped since our last discussion about the indipendent film discussion. 

You've become a cliche of

You've become a cliche of yourself. Nice work. Oh tell me how liberalies has "ripped me a new one." He hasn't done anything aside from scream and shout how Obama becoming president is the same as Palin quitting her job.  I'd say that's about as poor of an argument as one can make.  Do you realize that you are the only person on this website who feels the need to respond to every single one of my posts?  Why is that?  Are you the NB police?  Did you take it upon yourself to stick up for the fellow members who just don't have the time to argue with me on every single page?  What's your obsession?  I'm the name caller?  Are you saying that now because I accused you of such immature tactics several weeks ago?  Are you doing all of this to prove you're not posting under the several screen names I busted you as?  Your obsession is becoming a sickness, and I suggest you take a short little water break and rethink your agenda here.  Roo.

Wow, this is one empty post. Well, ILTK.... no explanation is

needed, is there.

You are too far gone to even be considered relevant.  

BTW... you DO KNOW that there is no prize for be verbose and empty, right?

→ You're right

If she robbed the FED and gave it to the Treasury, I'm thinking I'd defend the heck out of it.

If she robbed ACORN and gave the money to a Wounded Troops Foundation, I'd defend her.

Liberals are regularly defended for robbing people.  Suddenly you're against it?

You ought to know

 You're the Obama apologist.

http://newsbusters.o...

→ Am I?

Since you're making the charge, I'm hereby asking you to define the parameters of my state of apology.

I think that's only fair.  We can agree or disagree from there, but until then, you're engaging in namecalling.

You've got me badmouthing the FED and ACORN.  Anyone who performed the robberies I've outlined, complete with what was done with the money, would have my support.

What you've got me on is apologizing for select robbers.

Yup, there you go again

With your liberal amnesia. I'm not going to waste time arguing with an Obama apologist and gay rights activist. We'll never agree.

http://newsbusters.o...

→ Gay rights activist?

Then I suggest you stop talking to yourself.

I accept your apology

What you do in private is your own affair, I'm not interested. I just think you should look at Obama realistically instead of in an adoring way.

I suggest you find evidence to support your claim I'm a Gay Rights Activist, or an Obama supporter.

You're pretty far off the mark in reading comprehension if you've gleaned either of these observations from my posts.

I don't know why you'd be selling out so cheap, fabricating accusations as you're doing now.

Usually, you don't stoop to such in your debates.

Not that there's any indication you care what your word is worth.

You're right

http://newsbusters.o...

But  it seems so easy to throw out baseless accusations, like 

"liberals usually defend robbery, suddenly you're against it?" (implying I'm a liberal ). I figured I'd give it a go.

Oh no. You complimented me. That can't be good. Doom, doom, doom upon my head! LOL.

I will check out the "Whiter Shade," thanks. As for my hectic week, it seems like it has rolled into a permanently hectic life, even though I do freelance work from home.

You've said this so many

You've said this so many times I'm starting to think you actually believe it.

I have? I was just disagreeing with your assertion that you

I have yet to see a day go by where you do not have some sort of meltdown in your classic style. 

Today did not disappoint, either.

I really wonder what your

I really wonder what your life is like.  You seem to have a complete lack of comprehending even the simplest of terms and phrases.  Let me ask, how do you define "meltdown?"  You keep accusing me of having one, yet I'm about as mellow here as a a dead Michael Jackson.  So please, provide a link that illustrates my meltdown.  You can do it!

No ILTK, I will not take time out to prove the obvious to you.

See the difference with me is that I have been at this for much longer than most and know you are not a trustworthy individual who may be engaging in that which you have been accusing me of doing.

I think you are very unstable and bombastic at times.  You accuse others of name calling, but have been doing it with me and others since you showed up on nb's. 

Your arrogance is basically your calling card that is only out done your complete blindness to about any issue you discuss.

I do not ever believe you will stop with what you are doing here until your account is banned.  Hopefully, those moderating will definately look into how they can restrict multiple accounts from the same individual.  Until then, I guess we will have to deal with you and your personas.

Anyone here ever notice how

Anyone here ever notice how pahuber and kangaroo both misspell "definitely" as "definately?"  

Hmm... 

No. Unless you are also kangaroo and by some demented chance

you have pm'd me as kangaroo, thrice I might add.  KDW if you are doing what I think you are doing I find you even more sick than first suspected. 

I hope the moderators are paying attention to what you are saying and doing.

 

Ahahahahaha...

Brilliant!  I have proven repeatedly that you and kangaroo are the same person, and now you're lying about it.  You're even saying now that I've PMed you as kangaroo.  Go ahead - post it and prove it.  Your arrogance has convinced you that you're doing nothing wrong, yet in the history of our posts you've failed to prove me wrong yet.  Still, you continue to hunt me down from post to post, never with a relative argument.  I challenge you to backup anything you say, here or below.  "Definately!"

KDW, I have reported you to the moderators of this site for your

continued accusations.  Not that your comments have any merit, but rather if they go unchecked they can allow you to divert & accuse by trying to ruin my only account.

"Brilliant!  I have proven repeatedly that you and kangaroo are the same person, and now you're lying about it."

Post your 'proof'...   evidence???   

You have none at all.  Only your continued accusation to somehow besmirch my good name on these threads via false accusations.  

I am going to now ask you for the definative proof of your accusations (e.g., I am calling you out KDW).  The moderators have been notified and I ask they take note of this entire thread and accusations the past week.

Are you threatening me?  So

Are you threatening me?  So basically you told on me for exposing you as having multiple accounts, and because I've been harassing you by forcing you to chase me down and respond to every post I make with an argument that has nothing to do with the topic?  Good luck pal.  I think that statement alone proves you to be a fool.  The moderators are more than welcome to go back through my history.  They'll see for the past 2 weeks you are trolling me, then becoming offended when I call you out (20+ times on this page alone without even mentioning the topic at hand).  Moderators, if you notice pahuber and kangaroo are the same person.  kangaroo (the character) pretends to be Australian, and doesn't use any punctuation except commas.  This is easier to hide grammar patterns for the bozo, but once in a while he slips up and forgets who he's posting as, using perfect spelling and grammar.  Even Blonde has caught kangaroo lying multiple times (I liked the nickers v knickers one the other day!).  And speaking of spelling, they both spell definitely wrong, as "definately."  The obvious link between kangaroo and pahuber is that they are rarely on at the same time, normally each posts in 2 hour blocks.  The other day kangaroo hadn't been all day, and the moment I mentioned the name to pahuber, kangaroo instantly showed up on that very thread, among dozens and dozens of posts, among dozens and dozens of page 1 articles.  Perfect timing, or pure coincidence?  Nah, just logging in and out of accounts.  

So pahuber/kangaroo, or whoever else you want to be: If you have a problem with me, stop trolling me.  You can make things up as much as you'd like, but anyone who visits your profile page or mine can easily track our history.   

My God KDW, you cannot help yourself.

I told you what I have allready did concerning your continual accusation of me being other people on NBs.

For some reason you wish to cast dispersions on my character by your accusations.  Not that your name calling and other charges bother me... but if you do this I believe that you think I could be distrusted somehow and ruin my credibility.  So I have no choice but to speak up.

I imagine that you think NBs cannot know either way so what the heck.  As far as people playing other personas on this site I believe that if anyone was sick enough or childish enough to do something like that...well, you certainly fit the description.

I see you threw stalking in again.  LOL, as if we can somehow avoid each other on the size of this forum. 

BTW... I did notice how kangaroo did just pop up today as you were making your accusation.  Imagine that... almost seems like that would make your point.  If I did control that persona that would have been the very last thing I would do, but you're a calculating little troll now aren't you.

I am fully expecting to follow up tomorrow with the admins w/ any luck (maybe someone can enlighten me).  Hopefully you will get a warning. 

For the sake of this forum and NBs credibility I certainly hope they do warn you.

 

Oh yeah, KDW... you still have not provided any shred of PROOF

concerning your wild and paranoid accusations.

What a tangled web we weave

When as trolls we practice to deceive.

LOL....this is truly RICH.

 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Hi Blond, it was posted in response to my post. I assume you

were addressing KDW. 

 

Well, PAH...when it comes to me, never assume

My comment was general in nature.

What I would suggest is that someone (anyone)....make a "new" post on this thread....with a header like "HELLO....LET'S START AGAIN WHERE WE CAN READ".

 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Blonde, I'm still gettin 3-4 words per line.

Oops, make that 2-3. :)

Blond, your post was to me. I would certainly take offense if

I was the intended person in the post as it seems to indicate that I am somehow trying to deceive as KDW is most certainly doing.

I have one account with my name.  Period.

Regardless of whatever one thinks of me or my posts is oky doky with me...  when someone accuses me of deceiving with multiple accounts that is another matter entirely.

Might I also add that after

Might I also add that after NINETEEN posts on this page, you have yet to even mention Sarah Palin, the topic of the thread.  Do you have anything at all to add to the topic, or are you just proving your trolling skills?

Wow, counting my posts now are we? I am tickled that I threaten

you somehow to give me the attention you have given me.

C'mon don't deny it.  You have wacked out and shown your hand by accusing me of multiple accounts which has gotten me thinking about you.  

Again, I hope the moderators are paying attention and come up with a way to keep multiple accounts by one user off for us who have one account and play by the rules.

Do this: hit command + p.  It' brings up a search function in your browser.  Then in the search box type in pahuber.  It shows a number (now 21) which matches how many times your name comes up on the page.  Now each time you hit "enter" or "return" it highlights the next time the search result appears.  It's not too difficult.  I'm sure an 8 year old child can figure that out.  And yes, now it's 21 consecutive posts where you've failed to discuss the topic, roo. 

Come on, fut

You know the answer to the question you've asked of Ms. Garofolo here.

Think about it.  :)

Blonde, The question

Blonde,

The question is...are these Liberals blind to their pathetic hypocrisy or they know and don't care? 

It is obvious that they do not think beyond what they media and the left wing blogs tells them to think. How truly sad for them.

Such pathetic creatures, honestly.

Don't worry, I do not expect her to hold Obama to the same high standards that she holds Sarah Palin. They know Obama would never meet such high standards.

 

Pathetic either way, fut.

It's absurd, actually. 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

You really don't see the difference?

You can't comprehend the difference between quitting the Senate to transition to the President of the United States, and quitting the governor's office to spend more time with the kids? What you are trying to paint as hypocrisy is absurdity.

You really don't see the difference?

http://newsbusters.o...

Not surprising that you miss the point entirely. YOU and your

liberal ilk are making something out of nothing.  Your hypocrisy knows no boundaries when it comes to treating RNC and dnc differently.

Disparage one regardless and exalt or ignore the other depending on whether it is good or bad

* Quite sickening for us on NBs to witness you guys when you are so trasparent it is hardly humourous anymore.  

If you can find the footage

If you can find the footage from 2 years ago where Obama announced his resignation from his Senatorial seat to run for president, I will take back everything I said.  You are not making an equal comparison.  

So voting "present"

or not voting at all counts as doing his job in the Senate in your view?

Here's a little assignment for you, why don't you find out how many votes Obama missed while he was campaigning and get back to us with that fact?

 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Now you're making me do your

Now you're making me do your research to make your argument?  Ha!  You know me better than that.  How's this: I'll find the numbers on Obama and you'll report back to me McCain's numbers.  Fair enough?

ILTK, are you truly this

ILTK,

are you truly this dense? are you truly this slow?

You are right, Obama never officialy quit his Senatorial position, but for all intense and purposes he did quit.

President Obama as US Senator from Illinois started running for the Presidency from day ONE!

It is HE who abandoned his position as Senator since he never officially quit, thus not allowing someone that would at least have voted on the issues to be elected to the position.

Not to mention that he officially quit after only serving TWO YEARS of his SIX YEARS term after promising the people of Illinois that he would complete all of his six years.

Why do you hold Sarah Palin to a much higher standard than you hold President Obama, eh?

If it is wrong for Sarah Palin to quit, it was also wrong for Obama to quit. And as i said, Obama did not officialy quit until a few days after he was elected President. yet, name how many votes he missed (thus not representing Illinois as he was mandated to do as my Senator) in essence abandoning his Senate seat.

Can you think beyond what you have been programed to think by the Liberal media and the left wing blogs?

is it possible for a Liberal to have an open mind and think on their own? Why do so many Liberals spew out what the Liberal media and the left wing blog demand that they spew out. Such brainless, closed minded individuals. Seriously.

Most politicians running for

Most politicians running for president campaign while serving another elected office.  You can keep pounding this idea that Obama did it, so why can't Palin?  She quit mid term, and she has to deal with the consequences of that.  

ILTK, WOW! you ARE

ILTK,

WOW! you ARE dense!!!

Obama did not quit mid-term, he quit long before mid-term. he quit when he only had served 1/3 of his term!!

AND as I said, which you have refused to acknowledge, Obama never served as Senator from Illinois even though he held the position. Only a drooling Obamabot who holds Obama as his Messiah would excuse this and attack Sarah Palin.

Either both did wrong or both did right, period end of story.

So, you claim that I am trying to excuse Sarah Palin by claiming that Obama did it too, eh?

How old are you, 15, 14?

Hmmm....YOU JUST EXCUSED OBAMA QUITTING HIS SENATORIAL POSITION CLAIMING THAT OTHER POLITICIANS DID IT TOO!!!!!!!

So...it is ok for you to say, "Others did it before Obama, so it is ok for him to do it." But if you believe someone is saying, "Well obama did it too, so why can't Sarah Palin?" You claim that it is wrong to use such an argument.

You are either a hypocrite one one lousy debater.

stop projecting unto others who you are and how you think!

I am not excusing Sarah Palin OR Obama, I am pointing out to your obivous hypocrisy and putting huge holds in your lame "logic".

Obama quit, so did Sarah Palin, what is the difference, EXPLAIN!

Both quit to pursue other things, other careers in their life, why do you ant Palin to deal with the consequences and not Obama, eh?

Wow....you are certainly a young buck. Have you ever taken a logic class? i suggest you do, honestly, It will help your debating skills.

Why do you get so emotional

Why do you get so emotional over these debates?  Are you related to Palin, or did she just disappoint you, and now you feel the need to just let loose?  Go on, get it all out.  Keep up with the name calling and false presumptions.  I feel you are about to spontaneously combust.  I think you are wearing out your exclamation point key.  You are unreasonable, you contradict yourself, and yes, a lousy debater.

Yes, both Obama and Palin did not (or are not) serve the entire elected term.  McCain did not either, nor did Biden for that matter.  Now if you want to conduct a poll in Illinois asking how the people who loved and elected Obama to senate feel about that person becoming their president, I'd love to see the numbers.  Now ask Alaskans how they feel about their Governor quitting after 2.5 years.  

Now go bust another blood vessel in your forehead.

Seems like you are the only one here being emotional and may I

add accusatory.

What is it you are doing here again?  Trying to prove what?  

Whatever it is you are not doing very well at all.

Another non argument from

Another non argument from kangaroo.  

Carry on. 

It's not like you are logical or would dare answer the posts to

you w/o name calling anyway.

I see you have called me another member w/o any evidence...  therefore, how ironic you even mention a non-argument. 

ILTK, Are you kidding?

ILTK,

Are you kidding? You just cried your heart out and played the victim hard because poor little ILTK felt insulted by me. NOw you turn around and insult another Newsbusters poster?

It is not name calling when you tell the truth to someone else.

You, ILTK, are a huge hypocrite. That is not an insult, but a fact.

 

You just cried your heart

You just cried your heart out and played the victim

Please define "crying your heart out."  I think I missed something. 

ILTK, 1)

ILTK,

1) Hmmm...emotional? do you read your posts?

2) So, your only come back to the fact that you do not know how to debate is to claim that others do not know how to debate. Wow, you really proved your hardcore debating skills, miss "logic".

3) Ahhhh...and the truths comes out. For you, as it is for so many liberlas, it is not about what is right or wrong, but about a popularity contest.

Do a poll in Illinois and Alaska? Hmmm...so, your morality is based on polls and what people think, eh?

So, if the polls in Illinios were against Obama quitting, you would claim he is wrong and if the polls in Alaska were ok with Palin quitting you would be ok too, right?

Both Obama and Palin quit, period and end of story. You cannot accept the fact of your obvious hypocrisy (not name calling, my sensative child, but pointing out the obvious). You cannot reconcile the position of your arguments. You cannot claim that it is ok for Obama to quit and it is not ok for Palin to quit.

And once again, you prove my point. People are ok with Biden quitting, but not Palin? And McCain did not quit, yes he put a pause to his Senate obligations, which I believe is wrong, to run for the Presidency.

But nice of you to finally show us the truth about your position on this issue. It is not about right or wrong, it is about your perceived popularity contest.

Since polls in Illinios would more likely say that Obama did ok in quitting you find it ok. Quite sad ILTK. Sad that you do not see how WRONG it is.

and I am unreasonable and contradict myself? Point to where exactly I have contradicted myself and how I am unreasonable.

Please stop projecting unto me who you are. I have shown you how you contradict yourself and how you are unreasonable. Now it is your turn.

I showed you earlier how you do not want to excuse Palin because other politicians quit, but you have ZERO problem excusing Obama because other politicians do it. Hmmmm....who is contradicting themselves again?

now, instead of playing the victim card and throwing a tantrum that a petulant would throw, why don't you start acting like a mature, knowledgable adult and make an attempt at debating.

Remember, it is not about Palin's actions, but about the obvious hypocrisy that the left is showing on this issue. Get it yet?

 

ILTK's strategy is simple since he cannot win he: name calls,

accuses his oponent of a meltdown, changes the initial issue, accuses you of being another person on NBs, says your argument is 'stupid', etc etc.   Oh, let's not forget he will eventually disappear at times when he's really getting his ass kicked.

Personally, I believe that he is engaging in most of the tactics that he accuses others of doing.

I will not even bother to go into the reasons why he even bothers to show up except to cause confusion, diversion or change the post topic...  

Pahuber, Exactly. I

Pahuber,

Exactly.

I just find it amussing that ILTK just finished crying about feeling insulted by me and then turns around and writes a post insulting you.

You have to love the hypocrisy of these Liberals.

and I could not agree more, the poor things starts projecting unto you who she is.

I am telling you, this kid cannot be older than 15 or 16. Not an insult, but with how this person "debates" and uses "logic" there is no doubt that she is a young high school buck with a lot of learning to do.

Debate and Logic are certainly not her forte.

She has excused Obama because other politicians do it, but cannot comprehend why she is being a hypocrite when she does not excuse Palin because other politicians do it too. Not that I agree with this, but it is the "logic" of her arguments.

I hope she is not the best that Liberals have. If she is, they will be in huge trouble for 2010.

 

Apparently you can't read

Apparently you can't read either.  I concede.  When you leave emotion out of this and grow up a little bit, I will answer you again.

As for your new friend pahuber, he is also the fake Aussie posting as kangaroo.  Enjoy. 

ILTK, you are calling names again I see. I am who now?

Kangaroo, G.Mays, cacciato, ...

Why are you resorting to this nonsense?  

Hi liberallies, yeah we are on to him. This is where a

discussion goes with this clown.

Kangaroo, are you going to

Kangaroo, are you going to make an argument?  Or just tell people over and over again how my arguments are no good, without actually proving anything?

Hey, idiot, I'm NOT kangaroo. I intend to do the latter since

you open yourself up to this statement.  Look how you treated liberallies when he tried to debate you.  

You seem to continue in this manner regardless and get upset when called on it.

He didn't try to debate.

He didn't try to debate.  He simply tried yelling louder.  If you can't see the difference between Obama becoming president and Palin leaving office for unemployment, then there's simply no point in debating it.

ILTK, I didn't try to

ILTK,

I didn't try to debate, but simply tried yelling louder? Hmmm...so you admit what youa re doing is yelling and since you have been losing the debate all afternoon you claim that others are acting like you, right?

Why don't you explain it to all of us here how it is different that Obama quit to become President and Palin is quitting to spend time with her family.

Answer this simple questions.

1) Did Obama lie when he said that he was going to complete his six years in office as Senator from Illinois?

2) Did Obama complete his six years as he promised?

3) How many votes did Obama miss, that represented Illinios in the USA Senate, as Illinois Senator?

4) How is it different Obama quitting to pursue other career goals and Palin quitting to pursue time with the family? Are you saying that pursuing political positions is more important than pursuing time with your family? 

It is you the one that cannot comprehend that you are using double standards on your god Obama and on Palin.

there is ZERO difference, the only difference is that you like Obama and you hate Palin. If Palin was a Liberal Democrat you would be excusing her.

But thanks for admitting that all you have done is scream and cry all afternoon.

Obama quit and abandoned his Senate seat, just like Palin quit and abandoned her Governorship. Either both are wrong or both did nothing wrong, you can't claim that one did the right thing and not the other one.

You are blind by your Liberal ideology and your hatred of Palin.

ILTK, While you are it

ILTK,

While you are it can you please answer why you went on a rant demanding that I not insult you, but you have zero problem insulting other members of Newsbusters?

I have always wondered, why are you liberals such hypocritical creatures?

You insult, yet you cry and play the victim card if anyone dares insults you.

You demand perfection from Conservatives and Republicans, but do not mind the flaws, amorality and corruption of Liberals and Democrats.

What gives, lover of a Senator who murdered his girlfriend and has been elected countless of times by amoral Democrat voters?

Typical of a Liberal, do as they say, not as they do.

Okay, how's this:

Obama quit to become president, the most important job in the world.

Palin quit to collect unemployment, so far as we know.

Happy?

I don't know how it goes in Alaska, but here in Texas you don't get unemployment if you voluntarily separate from your job.

Is that what's wrong in California?

Unemployment as in not being

Unemployment as in not being employed.  Did I imply she is going to collect unemployment benefits?  If so I apologize. 

→ Did you imply?

Here's that part of your post;

Palin quit to collect unemployment, so far as we know.

Most people get "implied" and "inferred" confused.  This goes beyond the pall.

I hope you get the joke there with "pall".

Cool Arrow,This kid,

Cool Arrow,

This kid, ILTK, is something else. She clearly states in her post that Palin quit to collect unemployment and then turns around that she apologizes for implying such a thing. Does she read the sillinies that she posts before she hits the "Post Comment" button? WOW!

but nice of her to use two different set of standards to measure Obama and Palin. Liberals have been doing this since August 2008.

A petulant little child tantrum and victimhood complain coming from ILTK in

I'm here Liberal.  Are you

I'm here Liberal.  Are you referring to me as a girl because you're trying to upset me (in which case I find hilarious, albeit a little sad for you), or because you're just that ignorant that you know nothing about me and you've just mistaken me for a woman?  You already mistook me for an Obama voter, so you have a history of making false presumptions.  In any case, quitting to become president and quitting to stay at home are not the same thing.  Your new female messiah is over.

ILTK, you come off attacking us like a liberal kook. U know that

I guess we are all fakes and  stupid compared to you huh...  thanks for gracing us with your super intelligence. 

What did I say?  If you

What did I say?  If you proved that I said that, then I apologize.  In which case, you caught me.  I apologize.

And I sure am glad McCain wasn't elected president.  How humiliating for him to have his VP quit after only 6 months of service. 

→ No prob Kennedy

And how humiliating is it that Obama's VP says black kids are stupid?

I know, I know.  If a Liberal says it, it isn't racist.

Sorry.

I know you can't see it

I know you adore Obama, but all of his problems are not Biden's fault. Quit apologizing for Obama.

http://newsbusters.o...

ILTK, Are you

ILTK,

Are you serious?

Palin quit to collect unemployment? Wow, your hate for this woman has no bounds, eh ILTK? you are quite the hateful one.

And that is your problem, you excuse Obama and you do not excuse Palin.

So what Obama quit to become President of the USA and Palin quit to spent time with her family.

another one of your problems, "...the most important job in the world..." is not the Presidency of the United States. It is important and has great influence in the world, but it is not the most important.

I actually believe that Obama's and Palin's parenthood jobs are much more important jobs than holding any type of political office, including the Presidency of the USA. I guess that is the difference between you and I.

There is no difference between Obama quitting and Palin quitting. Either both did wrong or both did nothing wrong. You cannot excuse one and no the other one on this issue.

she' there's a chance they would have elected someo

And there is a chance that the sun would rise in the west.

It's really not necessary that I speculate on what she's going to do.  We'll know soon enough.

What I'm having fun with is the forlorn loons who can't choose between laughing or crying.

One such idiot has already promised us jail time for Palin.

It's just a fun spectacle.

I did other as well.  Her

I did other as well.  Her move makes sense if she is going to join or run a conservative PAC instead of a political office. She would be a highly effective Stick in the Eye for liberals if she joined an organization like NeW, Network of enlightened Women  www.enlightenedwomen... This is a university conservative womens book club, a counterweight to liberal feminist groups.  NOW needs a competitor, and Phyllis Schafly needs help and be ready to pass the baton to give women an alternative voice to the fallacy that NOW speaks for all women.  You want to strike deep into liberal territory, that's the place to go.  Challenge their grip on colleges (young people) and females as two groups whom liberals have been effective in snowing.

As far as politics is concerned, if a person desires a life of "service" then join the Red Cross, Salvation Army or some other organization that actually does a service for those with needs as opposed to being a politician whose desire is "self service" to stay in power thinking they are indespensible.   I am tired of lib Dems talking up their profession as being something other than a whore.

I feel it was a mistake no matter her plans for the future.  She will now be labeled a quitter.  

You mean like Barack

You mean like Barack Obama?

I didn't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows.  -Bart Simpson

 

Who Is More Guilty of Dereliction of Duty?

Who is more guilty? The governor who achieves all of her stated goals,
and then steps aside to run for higher office, allowing her hand-picked
successor to take her ball and keep running with it and giving him a
better shot at being elected in 2010. Or the person who, once obtaining
their Senate seat, immediately starts campaigning for President, and
misses 80% of their Senate votes in the process?

Don't give me that "quitter" nonsense. As Jack Nicholson said, "Go sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here."

Sometimes You Have to Roll the Hard Six.

No comparison, I am a Palin fan but

I want someone to hang in there when the going gets tough. I think it would be great to have her out there fighting against Obama's agenda. I just think this gives ammo to her critics.

I might agree with you if I

I might agree with you if I thought the MSM had any integrity. As it stands, they just make sh*t up. She could cure cancer tomorrow and they would spin it to a negative. 

How is she going to fight

How is she going to fight Obama (If that's what she intends to do) from Juneau, Alaska, especially when she's having to spend her time and money defending herself from baseless ethics charges? That's just silly. She has already put in place the agenda items for Alaska and is leaving the state in republican hands. That's no more quitting than any other politician who leaves to pursue higher office and far better than pols who suck on the senate payroll for 2 years and don't perform the duties of the office while they seek other office. That in my mind is theft of public funds. (As in yours and mine) 

As far as hanging in there, this is a woman that handles a fishing boat in the Bering Sea, runs a sub 4 hour marathon at 45 years of age, can field dress a caribou, and run a household. Maybe you see quit in there somewhere, but I sure don't!   

Nor do I, tinman ;-)

Absolutely agree!

This woman has more integrity in her little finger than 99.99% of all liberals combined. 

The so-called "tolerant and gender enlightened" MSM hated the fact that a conservative woman might be the first VP.  Now they're afraid that she could become the first female POTUS.  So they're putting every one of their collective dirty tricks, their entire propoganda machine, and every ambulance chasing lawyer in their pockets to beat her down.

She didn't quit, she accomplished a lot in Alaska, and as she said, the attacks on her were bad for Alaska.  She can't just silence the attacks, so she is relieving Alaska of the burden of her fight.

I suspect that we haven't seen the last of Sarah Palin.  It would be both sad, and a loss to the conservative fight, if we have.  Think about it... if she leaves politics in defeat, a defeat by propoganda and personal attacks, it's likely that we'll never see another "regular person" run for an important office again.

Oh, and to answer the question in question... i would guess a book deal and a conservative road trip to support conservative causes and candidates everywhere! ;-)

Choice

You left out a choice:

  • Punching bag for the MSM and the left

D

Write Congress and Senate and tell them what YOU think!

Keep the ILLEGALS out, join NumbersUSA to send free faxes to your reps.

Foolish

Anyone who writes-off Palin and her political career is just foolish because she's very young, it's only 2009 and she'll now be able to spend much more time traveling, speaking, making big big money for her family, and legitimizing her Republican strategist chops.  Though I personally wouldn't vote for her as President and would much prefer the business mind and more experienced Mitt Romney.  

But I see the left's attacks of Palin and her family as being transparent and hypocritical, and likely the result of a little bit of political fear.  And again though I don't think much of Palin personally, she has more real experience than Hillary did, and Hillary would have been President if it weren't for Obama....so to those saying Palin doesn't have the experience, I just have to laugh, what experience did Hillary have to become Senator of a state she didn't even live in (NY)?  

I'm for Romney because he clearly has the business and economic savvy to dig us out of the debt/deficit hole Obama and the Dems are continuing to dig.

Other

I think she's going to try and speak out against Obama,Pelosi, and Reids policies. I think she may start with Cap and Trade and just shred anyone who(Dem and Rep) voted on this without reading it. If she's succesful she'll move on to bigger things, if not she'll fade away. I do give her credit for at least trying to do something, It's more than anyone else(exept Boehner) is doing.

I do not know what the

I do not know what the future holds for Gov. Palin.  What I would like to see happen and have heard others say is for her to come down to the lower 48 and help other Republicans in their campaigns.  She is a HUGE draw and can help these folks get elected or re-elected.  She can help win back the House and Senate in 2010.  All the while she is collecting IOU's from these and other Republicans which she can use for when she announces her run for President in 2012.

The Obama Administration: THE most fiscally irresponsible Administration EVER

I like the idea of her coming down to the lower 48

to appear with, thereby bringing support for, TRUE conservatives running for office.  She could make it just one week a month and still have 3 for her family in her lovely home in that beautiful state.  I would hate for her to permanently leave Alaska since it is obvious she and her extended family love the lifestyle and have established deep roots there.

I wish her well whatever SHE decides.  She was a bright ray of sunshine when she was nominated last August and I will always remember how she re-energized conservatives.  And I will never forget how VICIOUS the liberals were as they IMMEDIATELY went into attack mode!

I chose RNC Chair, but I like the public speaking idea too.

I know I'm kind of the turd in the punch bowl here, but I don't think she's got the chops for a national run. 

I guess she could run for Senate in '10 and then quit to run for Prez in 12....

But gee, she can't do that, can she, because then she will still be a "quitter" according to the left, who conveniently ignore our current President's history.

I believe she will become an advocate for conservative values and will spend her time campaigning for conservative candidates throughout the country.

Here in Missouri, just a few days before the election, she was capable of attracting a crowd to a Jefferson City, Bass Pro parking lot that exceeded what John Kerry and John Edwards were able to attract combined. She still draws sizable crowds wherever she appears.

I look for her to show up at Tea parties and campaign events. Her time is now and she will become a thorn in Obama's side. The MSM will rue the day they decided to keep on attacking her.

She will be crowned Champion of the Iquitarod: 

I disagree with some of my friends who say this is "out of character" for the good governor. Sarah Palin quit five colleges in her otherwise unremarkable collegiate career, before finally graduating from the sixth. She quit her job in television. She and Todd quit their snow machine dealership in Big Lake. She quit as chair of the Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Commission. Now she has quit the governorship of the state she supposedly loves. Sarah Palin is a quitter. When the going gets tough, Sarah Palin quits.   (Geoffrey Dunn)

Oh, go ahead, say he didn't actually quit as Senator..he might as well have, he was derelict in his duty.

As for the career moves, I guess, according to you, someone should stay their first job forever.  

If she were a Democrat, you would probably be talking about the richness and variety of her experiences.

Cacciato~

Wait a minute! Weren't you saying (just a day or two ago) that something really horrific was coming down the pike and she was headed for the slammer? Now you are saying she is a quitter. Can you choose one particular negative stance on Palin and stick to it? Sooooooo, do you think she is a quitter or a criminal? It doesn't really make sense to go with both.

If you now think this is all part of a pattern with her/part of her nature, then why did you immediately assume she's in trouble with the law, even though there is nothing to back that up?

On the other hand, at least you are off your criminality kick. I guess you are just taking baby steps to working your way out of this. I'll give you another six months, and then I'll sign you up to help her on the lecture circuit. Sound good?:)

 

Double G, I think she's a

Double G,

I think she's a quitter and a criminal.  Why do they have to be mutually exclusive?

I think she's quitting b/c there is an impending scandal.  No other explanation accounts for the timing of her press conference on a Friday before the Fourth of July.

For any of the options presented in this poll, wouldn't a prime time, well-thought out, scripted (where she doesn't ramble) speech / presentation have been much more effective?

What is she trying to hide?  Why did she try to bury her resignation on a Friday before a holiday?

On a side note, I've seen a ton of whining around here today about how the big bad elitist liberals were so vicious to Palin, yet no one seems to want to acknowledge that much of the criticism that got published concerning her came from CONSERVATIVES.  Just wanted to add that.  (Rumor has it the Mitt Romney camp has been hard at work going after her since her nomination to VP)

FBI sayes there is no

FBI sayes there is no federal investigation. All of the ethics charges, to date, have either been droped or been proven baseless. And that makes her criminal?

Your just a liberal junkie hack.

Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!

Bass, First of all the,

Bass,

First of all the, rumored investigation is being conducted by the DOJ, not the FBI.

Secondly, when has the FBI ever publicly commented on an ongoing investigation?  Pretty sure they don't.

Thirdly, somebody tell me why she would make what you are all claiming is such a GREAT & POSITIVE & RIGHT move on a Friday before a holiday weekend.

Finally, where is her explanation?  Monday's over and still no word from the Palin camp and why she did what she did or what her intentions are.  Doesn't that seem strange to you?  No clarification of her rambling, border line incoherent & senseless 'explanation'? 

Strange things are afoot in the weird world of Sarah Palin.  The other shoe will drop, it's just a matter of when.

double post

Cacciato~

I do agree that some conservatives have been extremely harsh on Palin. Hey, we agree on something! LOL. Well, my take on her news conference was that she was really, really mad. Her voice sounded shaky -- like she was trying to control her anger. And yes, she did repeat herself, and it was not the best presentation. But that all goes to my feeling that she was really upset. I didn't get that it was at all some coverup kind of "I gotta get the heck out of here while the gettin' is good" fear factor thing going on. Maybe I'm wrong about her being super angry, but it was my impression, and I generally have good instincts. I think she was honestly really hurt for her family. I give her the benefit of the doubt on that. She is a wife/Mom/grandma, and those are all roles that can bring out a certain type of intensity that is hard to explain to males. 

Really, I can understand her choosing to leave her job as governor, for the two reasons she gave: all the commotion constantly for Alaska because of her being targeted and also because she and her family have been through the wringer -- and I do think the attacks on her have been unprecedented . If she did this just for the sake of less stress for her family (let alone the Alaska angle), I do have respect for that. I'm a very responsible person who takes my job quite seriously (and love it), but I would always take my family over my job. That said, I realize she is a public servant. But again, I take her at her word, and I understand her priorities.

I do give try to give people the benefit of the doubt until faced with real evidence of something being wrong -- unless I get a really strong gut feeling that something is really foul. But I try to be fair. Although I think she made an emotional decision, emotional decisions are not always foolish. It's just that a lot of people will be measuring it by a different yardstick.

P.S. Can you please stop calling her a criminal until there is evidence that she is? Have your "I told you" ready, but wait to see! I am not necessarily a gung-ho Palin supporter. I think she has some really great things to offer, but I'm not on the Palin-for-President bandwagon. Just in case I sound like I'm campaigning for her -- not the case. 

Is there a chance that she

Is there a chance that she could become the voice for a new independent conservative movement?  

That works for me

We need a voice that isn't bending over backwards trying to appease the left. Sarah as spokesperson for the True Conservatives would be a fine move.

not a punching bag

maybe she can work inside , while the "fool's" in the blame stream spin this out .maybe she can get an impeachment rolling before it's too late??

I like Sarah Palin. Having

I like Sarah Palin. Having said that, and not that it's her fault, I'm sort of "Palin-ed Out" and suffering from Palin Fatigue at this point (although not nearly as much as my Obama Fatigue). So, I didn't vote in this poll. I hope she has a quiet and restful hiatus and a happy future - no matter what she chooses to do with it. I hope that the jackals on the left leave her and her family the hell alone.

I also hope that shawn backwards ceases to tie up a good portion of these threads with his tiresome sneering comments that seem to be designed for nothing other than seeking attention.

The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.

Done

I hate to say this, but she's done.

I was a Palin supporter but this move completely baffles me. You simply do not quit mid-term. It allows all your political opponents to show you're a quitter. 

I could understand if she decided to not run for a second term or if she was going to take over a Senate seat, but she just up and quit. 

I'm sorry but she's done in politics for a long time. 

What don't you get...

...along with all the other supposed supporters and critics, about half a million dollars in legal fees defending herself against spurious, unfounded, nonsense ethics charges, which anybody with a leftwing attitude can bring, without evidence, at no cost to themselves? Why isn't the RNC, and that spineless democrat-lite McCain, doing something to help her? They're not even offering verbal support.

I suppose all you critics could stick it out against that kind of financial burden, even if it meant having to sell your bong collection. You could probably get a half-mil from Soros, right?

The Republican party can stick it as far as I'm concerned. These quislings are all nearly as slimy as the Democrats. If it hadn't been for her galvanizing the base, McCain would have lost by 25%.

 

              

                jessieH                       Why not   All of the above.

I put in presidential run,

I put in presidential run, 2012, for three reasons.

1. Her resignation as governor comes after a highly successful implementation of her campaign issus, which was rooting out corruption and maintaining a fiscally conservative and responsible state budget, which she has done. While she certainly can stay in place as governor and be effective, at this point she would be in maintenance mode as all her campaign promises had been fulfilled-years ahead of schedule. In contrast over 40 of the other 49 states are experiencing severe downturns. Had Alaska been on the brink or in trouble, then it would be a completely different manner. It would then look as if she's running from the job, which is not at all the case.

A comparison can be made to having a new CEO come into a company to root out ineffeciencies and get it going on the right track. Once this happened, and the company was successfully restored and refocused with a strong mission statement, then he would be able to move on and let someone else take the reigns with a tight ship.

2. One cannot respond to national allegations effectively in Alaska, especially when the accusers have a strong political incentive to destroy you. Right now, Sarah Palin is the lightning rod of every attack by the democrats, short of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and now Mark Levin. Sarah represents the conservative (and in my happy heart, Libertarian) wing of the republican party, in a way that Teddy Roosevelt invigorated the same proponents in his 1912 run as the candidate from the Bull Moose party.

To that end, had she remained as governor, she would have had to take the high road for her entire tenure as governor. Again, had the state been in trouble, that would have been her duty, and indeed would have been her legacy to have jumped a drowning ship. But with a strong state, she there was no "up-side" to staying in office from a pragmatic standpoint.

3. Running for president takes a lot of money and a lot of itinerary setting. It's difficult to constantly take flights out of Juneau on commercial airplanes to attend the necessary but brutal fundraisers while ensuring that Alaska has an active leader in the state. To that end, resignation makes perfect sense from a financial standpoint.

As a bonus, 2010 will become 1994 on steroids with the Congressional turnover. If the republicans pull off the greatest turnover in congressional history and take over both houses, the democrats will have to divert their attention from the presidential race to demonize the newly-effective republican leaders in congress. At that time, Palin will be able to fully assess her own chances. 

That's why I have no doubt this is a presidential run, and regardless of the end majority results of the congressional majorities at the midterms, Sarah is set up perfectly. In addition, she's doing it in the most fiscally and most effective manner.

______________________
Moderate... Democrat... Liberal... Progressive... Socialist... Communist—The progression is clear as day.

Don't kid yourself . . .

Resigning from the governship has ended her careere in elected public office at the state and national levels.

She can't even carry Alaska anymore.  They elected her to high office, and she's resigning.  Alaskans don't like quitters, regardless of the circumstances.

Her only political salvation would be to withdraw her resignation before it takes effect, but she will have already critically damaged herself politically.

There's not strategy for running for the White House in 2012.  The strategy was to pursue her priorities.

 

 

 

→ Good one Galvanic

You may be right.

I'm not sure she has elected office aspirations anymore.

You said the magic word, C A: aspirations

Absent any concrete statements from Palin, and absent any knowledge of what her political aspirations were before her nomination and now, the presumption by many has been that she aspires to be President of the United States.  And with McCain going down in flames, the presumption by many on the Left and Right is that Palin is the heir apparent -- the logical front runner for the GOP nomination in 2012.

But maybe she never wanted that.  And after living under a microscope for the past year or so, and the utterly vicious attacks against her and her family, maybe she decided it was a good time to step out of public office.

We won't know for awhile.  But if she was seriously considering a run for the White House in 2012 or 2016, she knows that resigning from her first and only term as Governor as Alaska kills that chance. 

 

Palin did not have enough money to stay in office

Since the Palins were not rich, and since they could not accept outside income, as liberal politicians can, they simply could not afford to field lawyers to answer the frivolous lawsuits.

Knowing this, the leftists used this method to force Palin to resign. There will need to be legal changes to allow those who are not extremely rich to occupy public office.  The conservatives should make this issue a political priority.   Filing copious  lawsuits against the lowest income  liberal governors and representatives would aid in getting democrat cooperation to limit the profitability of lawsuits against public officials.   

 After a short time as a private citizen, Palin will have a sufficient $ war chest $  to hold public office in the future.

 As a private citizen, Palin will wield more influence,  amass more wealth,  have ability to sue those who publish libel,  and this is causing the liberal hysteria to reach fever pitch.

The people who make America work require representation.

During the week after Obama won the election, I affixed a Palin 2012  bumper sticker to my car and it will stay there.  She's the "MOST NORMAL"  person  put forth on the national political scene in decades. 

 

Deep Six

First: Her legal bills are paid for. Period. The legal defese fund took care of that. Thank her loyal supporters and c4p.

Second: She raised more money in her pac and she must stay in politics and campaign to use that money properly.

Third: Anyone that jokes about her quitting probably know jokes about her children also. I don't know any jokes about Obama's children because I'm not a "scumbag" (As former President Clinton put it).

Fourth: The gloves are off. Fight back. Ad hominem attacks deserve worse back at them. Alinsky's rules trump the Duke's rules everytime.

Fifth: She's filthy rich.

Sixth: The Great One, "She's running in 2012, get used to it."

Actually, she still owes a

Actually, she still owes a considerable amount of money on her legal bills. A lot of us were part of the C4P webathon. It raised a lot of money, but nowhere near enough to retire the debt.

Now I think you are spot on about SarahPAC. I figured that's what all of the McCain camp losers and the Vanity Fair piece  was all about. To take the bloom off that rose. I think the numbers must be huge.

The gloves are indeed off. 

 But Sarah and family aren't rich. She only makes $125K a year, and turned down a $25K a year raise this year. Todd makes close to the same as Sarah. They aren't hurting, but they aren't rich. 

Now with that said, I think they will be. Her book will undoubtedly be a best seller. And with her ability to draw a crowd, she can name her price for the many speeches she will be giving. 

I read the tickets for her speech in August at the Reagan Library are going for $150 a pop. 

Finally, I think she will run for President. I'm not sure if she really cares about that, but her supporters do. They will demand it! The people that hate her, still hate her, and always will. But the people who admire her, will literally walk through fire for her. 

Her twitter page has picked up 25,000 plus new followers since Friday afternoon. 

This man is already running around Iowa with a Palin 2012 sign on his work van!

Your spot on. But don't you think we've raised enough in the legal defense fund? I just said that, I really can't prove any numbers until they release them. And weren't we supposed to get SarahPac numbers at the first of July. Can't wait! As far as her wealth, I know she has a "seven figure" agent and I was again speaking from the hip. "I don't know that", poorsinner. But a poorsinner like me would jump up and down for days to have her and Todds's salary, not even counting all the money I pray she makes off her book(s) and speaking engagements. But you got the gist of it and  I knew those points when I posted them. Just wanted to be overly helpful to those who might be worried about her finances. Thanks for the comments.

I would rather

Let all these pygmies take a shot. Who cares. I would rather listen to Sarah rattle on than endure Mr Umm-Ah forming a sentence. I know hers comes from her heart in a blurt and his is s-l-o-w-l-y being read off some mechanical whiteboard inside his head. I don't know if I would vote for her--who knows--but I am not going to slam her. I am a mom, she's a mom--and I support her and enjoy her.

HMMMM

 

I hope the RNC realises how much of a pot of gold this woman is.

Not only will she bring in millions for the GOP but she will also make the DNC spend millions trying to defame her.

her leaving office does help Alaska because she will no longer be the story and Alaska can get about it's business.

That's a good story, but I'm

That's a good story, but I'm not buying it. Any attention for Alaska is good attention. 

Balboa,I firmly believe

Balboa,

I firmly believe that she is QUITTING in response to an impending scandal, but I read an interesting article today that made a different guess.

The author stated that she hadn't accomplished anything during her term, her selection for Attorney General was almost unanimously overturned (a first in the history of Alaska), she was disliked by state politicians on both side of the aisle, she had absolutely nothing to do with the TransCanda / Exxon deal despite her supposed interest and expertise in energy, AND (most importantly) she was facing an EMBARASSING veto override in January for her silly, symbolic rejection of the stimulus funds.

The author's conclusion was that she resigned to avoid what would have ultimately turned out to be a completely failed term as Governor (as in NO experience is better than BAD experience).  Interesting hypothesis.  I'll post the link to the article when I can find it.

I personally still think she's guilty of some sort of crime.  It's really the only way that I can understand her attempt to completely bury her resignation.

On a side note, somebody needs to reign her over-zealous lawyer in.  That guy is a nut job.  All he's managed to do is make Palin look even more ridiculous and give bloggers who nobody ever heard of a national stage to completely dismantle Palin.  Her cadre of advisors is a joke.

It's going to be tough to hit the speaking circuit from a prison cell.

Time to face reality Newsbusters.  Palin is in big trouble. 

She should have practiced what she preached.  Instead, she fell into the oldest trap for politicians in the book...greed

You know what I find amusing about liberals like cacciato; they're sure Palins finished! She has a scandal coming...she couldn't finish her term...blah, blah, blah!! However, the fact that they have to come to conservative blogs to announce this just seems odd to me??

OK, cacciato, so in your view Palin's finshed...fair enough. But let me ask you something: if she's killed her career and is going to jail, why do libs like you seem so concerned about pointing out her mistakes? Seriously, if your enemy is self-destructing...you let them self destruct, not provide analysis of what you think they're doing wrong.

Sorry, but you sound like you're trying to convince yourself she's doomed rather than those of us who support her. Cacciato, the only thing I see when I read your posts is fear. ;-)

You think cacciato is deranged about Palin now?  Just imagine if Sarah Palin were FAT.....he'd lose his mind, inasmuch as cacciato is a reincarnated Leon.....who hated "fatties".

It never stops, but it is somewhat amusing.

 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Hey Blonde

ROFL!!

Seriously, they've been going after Palin since the primaries and haven't let up! My question is, why? These Libs can spin this PDS all they want. The common denominator is FEAR!

Good grief, I forgot all about Leon! He's he coming here under another identity?

Fear Factor, Sven

Quite, Sven.  Sarah Palin scares the libs worse than a bucket full of tarantulas.

As for Cacc/Leon....note the same peripatetic posting, certain phrases, forms of address, and links.  Unmistakable...like fingerprints, really.  These retreads think they're so stealthy and clever....they might as well just choose a name like Retread(Troll #4).

 

I hope he fails, too.

I would love it if MY Governor resigned

If Corzine would quit today, New Jersey would be a much better state. As it is, we have to wait until November to vote the bum out!

Obvious...

I kind of felt like she would resign.  She's spending a hell of a lot of time in the lower 48 states.  I think she might leave Alaska.

I think she may very well become the head of the RNC some day.  The left hates her.  Some on the right value her insight on what the GOP base is thinking.  She is a hit with the hardcore right.  She has that knack for grassroots politics.  She has unique insights.  Think of her as a potential Howard Dean for the GOP.  I think its more than a possibility that she will become the RNC chair.  

She has the "street smarts" to match up against the current Obama machine.  Given time, she could deliver the masses to the GOP.  We keep hearing about the "silent majority."  She seems like she knows where to find it.

I think she understands the demographics of Republican VOTERS.  Obama is showing that he could be moonbat crazy.  2012... GOP has to run someone that is imposing, strong.

Howard Dean was in a

Howard Dean was in a similar position.  A faction in the democratic party hated him for being the governor of a "backwater" state.  He wasn't "sophisticated" enough for them due to his "complacency" on guns and pandering to "hicks."  Democrats eventually get pounded.  They turn to Dean and his knowledge of grassroots organization, the extreme left, the base of the party, the base of the opposition, and activist groups such as ACORN.

Obama ran a campaign based upon Dean's campaign for president. He used the web, he used the youth, he used the activists, he used the media, and he avoided stirring up hornets. Some don't acknowledge that Howard Dean himself has deep ties to ACORN.  ACORN has been his tiny private army.   Obama raised tons of cash over the internet like Dean and disciplined himself on gun control.  He didn't stir up the NRA, something that Howard Dean espoused. 

Now we have the "moderates" in the GOP sinking the ship.  The base is ticked off, they embrace Palin.  I could see her leading a new wave of GOP candidates in 2010 or 2012 as party leader.  The Democrats fear a wave of versions of Sarah Palin emerging from the GOP.  They are hellbent on pigeon holing the GOP into obscurity and don't want people outside the mold to threaten their efforts.  They love the GOP as it is now, with the "moderates" in charge.  They are easy to defeat due to their malleable characters.  They really don't stand for anyhing.  They have no connection to the base.  They like to play both sides.  The ones that are content to feed of scraps and will play by liberal rules as long as they keep their seats or get some power in return. 

Tom Hayden explained Sarah Palin Fear

Obama associate, supporter and good friend, Tom Hayden, explains why the Barack Obama camp, Marxists, Socialists and other nefarious Obama supporters, are attacking Sarah Palin.
------------------------------------------------

By Tom Hayden
Progressives for Obama

"September 13, 2008 - A principle reason for Progressives For Obama is so that we can say things that the Obama campaign cannot or will not say.

This is one of those times.

Sarah Palin is a mortal threat to the possibility of Obama winning. The reason is simple: if she can add a couple of points to McCain from defecting white women and the newly-energized right wing religious base without losing more independent votes, McCain pulls ahead in some key states."

Who is Tom Hayden?
------------------

The Former SDS president Tom Hayden and former husband of Jane Fonda.

"I would think that if you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communists."
Jane Fonda

Michael Klonsky (former blogger on the Barack Obama official website) remembers Hayden plotting to spread nails on a highway; another SDS leader recalls Hayden encouraging activists to firebomb police cars.

Liberals are Screaming against Sarah Palin w/insane Rage

Liberals are saying Comrades, er uh I mean fellow Democrats, "Palin has zero experience as a Community Organizer". How could she possibly be ready to lead America?

Why she has never even taught ACORN how to 'Steal Elections'.

Democrats say Sarah Palin has NO plagiarism experience, like Joe Biden.

One World Government supporters are afraid, Sarah Palin will NOT appease Iran and Syria, not to mention Ayers, Wright, Farrakhan and The Nation of Islam.

Democrat Elitists scream, how many articles has she written for Harvard Law Review?

Democrat leaders scream we have not heard her say "um", "uh" or "er" once, how could she possibly communicate with Obama followers?

Affirmative Action advocates complain, Sarah Palin has NEVER even fulfilled any kind of quota.

Obama Cultists state, Our Obama-Messiah has created a whole new class of Americans, 'Bitterclingers' who might see this 'SarahCudda' as relating to them.

Quoting 'Messiah Obama' "this is NOT acceptable".

Pro-Choice feminists scream, this woman doesn't represent 'The American Woman', she didn't even allow her young to die in a dirty hospital utility room alone.

Code Pink supporters screech, Sarah Palin was pictured with a gun and a soldier. Need we say more about her lack of Patriotism?  

Metrosexuals recoil and hiss, Horrors of Horrors - she doesn't seem to know her place in the 'Collective'.

Radical Educators say, how will we explain to the children that the Palin family doesn't have two mommies or two daddies.

All Liberals agree, Sarah Palin is a mockery to 'womyn' everywhere! She's like some sort of different species of human!

RetGeek - I don't think any of us could have said it better!!!!

Are you fricking kidding me? This post rocks!

Could you please post this again elsewhere? You need an Emmy for your portrayal of these libtard suckups. Seriously! Just glad I caught the sarcasm.

You forgot one though: "blah blah blah... She's stupid."

They love that one.

Heading Out

She doesn't know what to do. She knows the options, but she's on the verge of deciding to leave public life...even if she hasn't recognized that yet. She's eccentric and an easy target because of her country-style speech and lack of knowledge on issues. She could learn if she wanted to, but that's not on her agenda. Never was.

SARAH'S FUTURE

She'll run for the Senate in 2010, then for President in 2016 and in the interim, talk on the circuit, do a radio show and help with republican stategies.

Based on the wide distribution...

of the above poll numbers, it appears to be anybody's guess what Sarah will do next...Depending on how you look at it, she has either opened the door to a whole slew of new possibilities for herself, or she has misguidedly (and possibly unintentionally) closed it...Who knows right now...I'm not even sure that Sarah knows for sure. Time will tell...

PAHAUBER....LOOK TO YOUR LEFT!!!!

I do apologize if you are/were offended.  Truly.

My intent was to get someone's (anyone's) attention and move this discussion back to a place where we could all read it.

Make sense?  (Sheesh, Noel has corrupted me beyond belief!!!).

Now, I shall re-post what I did, and I'll grant you that my "reply" was to you....but it was really meant to be a generic reply.  Due to the absolute rediculous size of the thread.

Ready?

"Oh what a tangled web we weave, as trolls we practice to decieve".

Carry on, everyone.

 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

I apologize Blonde... I hate to admit it. KDW has gotten under

my skin and I allowed him to do that.

Thank you for your kind words...  I guess he is laughing his ass off right now knowing he has gotten me so upset.  I have one account and it is my name.

Again, sorry I need to chill.  Your post is funny, I just am really pissed off at KDW and his game.

Have a great rest of the evening.

As my (86 year old) mum is fond of saying.....

"Tomorrow's another day, Scarlette".

Regardless of all of the bickering that goes on here, this is just a blog...a way to blow off steam, if you will.  It's not real, it truly isn't important.  If you have fun here, have fun.  If it raises your blood pressure, well, give it a second thought.

'night.

 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Thanks Blonde, have a great night, as well.

A good night to all!

Hey...Nighty night

Hey...Nighty night pah....just checking in before closing out myself and saw this....catch ya on the other side.   ;-)

" A good night to all! "

I guess I shouldn't have had that cuppa tea.

Sarah

All of the above

She will be the ruler of the known Universe!

I'm so sick of politics that I would vote for her because she is real. Anyone who would go on national TV doing an interview while hauling and gutting fishies (and proudly wearing their guts) is my hero. We are so fake in the press it is refreshing to see Palin out doing to the fishies what she is gonna do to American Politics. She is saying exactly what the rest of us peasants are saying about the elites in this country. It's time to haul in the pols, gut them and throw them on ice. GO SARAH!
