Sarah Palin in the news still... geeez I thought she would be old news, but here I see a thread about here..

Her career is finished, and even if any one political party is not directly connected to this shooting, most people feel that Palin and the Tea Baggers rhetoric of hate, racism and gun play is some how responsible, even if there is not a direct connection.

It's funny to watch the Republicans circle the wagon to protect themselves from blame.. geeez. act guilty, generally means you are...

Well you got two out of three right..... she's motivated and has a strong desire for the spotlight..... but I wouldn't call her bright..... otherwise, she wouldn't have had so many blunders with what she says as she already has.

I remember when Dan Quayle was the punchline of many jokes and considered not very bright...... in comparison, I believe Palin now beat him out on that age-old position.

She makes George Bush seem like a genius.

Doesn't she have some sort of advisor behind the scenes telling her "Hey, you know, it might not be very wise to use this word" or "You might not want to say that." or "Perhaps it would be best if your worded yourself like this...."

It's like they blindfolded her, spun her around real fast and then set her loose with her own devices just to see how well she can screw things up this time around.

But even I have seen on US media so many people agreeing that the US is divided in so many ways....... races, religions, north & south, red vs. blue, guns and no guns, etc. etc.

Something has to be done soon to try and unite people a little better before things blow wide open...... but it'll be pretty difficult to do and I think many people thought Obama would be the one to do it.

Guess not.

Best of luck to those down there.

I'm not sure......I am no devoted follower of the Palin........but the media can really do a job on people it does not like. I would hold up Preston Manning as an example of that. Manning is an extremely bright individual, made to look like a dangerous brain-dead racist redneck by the media while he was in the spotlight....

Likewise Stockwell Day, who is acknowledged by those who know anything about him as being exceptionally capable........but turned into a dimwit in the popular view by the media and a wonderfully executed smear campaign.

Soooo, I'll with hold judgement on Palin's intelligence......

Generally all you have to do is say that people live with dinosaurs starting 6000 years ago when the world was made by the invisible man in the sky and you get the kookoo tag stitched on. Palin is a halfwit leading nasty hateful suckers around by the nose. No one like that should ever be in control of a military or the nuclear strike codes.

Yes many heads will pop if she runs in 2012.
and many more will explode if she actually wins.

I expect that hers would be the first to go.

I expect that pretty much the exact same thing could be said about Ignatieff.

You got that right. If she came to power, there would be jobs for every unemployed American... in uniform fighting abroad.

As for the debt, inflation, and wealth, well, that's another matter.

And wonderboy is doing a fine job putting all those unemployed back to work.
And I see he also has the debt and deficit under control.
No Americans fighting abroad under Obahma either.
So many bougie men there machjo.

The latest poll counts are in since the shoots of Giffords. Some are quite interesting.
People are not against guns in America as many might think, but they are questioning
how people with mental conditions can be tracked to prevent them from having the
weapons they want, good luck with that. They also want the large clip ammo, outlawed.
Now comes the interesting part. Obama gets a 78% approval rating for his speech and
the way he handled the situation. Palin, she gets a little over 30% approval. however
the real interesting situation is, around 80% give or take, say the current situation is not
going in the right direction and they want civility.
If you look at the situation if the numbers are right, Palin, looked terrible in her address and
she raised some inflammatory language that can be used against her. The Tea Party has
painted themselves into a corner by saying they are not interested in compromise while the
general public has finally sobered up politically and are now demanding some form of
accommodation. If you put things into prospective, if the Tea Party does not compromise
they will get the blame for failure. If they do compromise they run the risk of being part of
the Washington inner circle.
What is that old saying Kennedy used during one of his speeches, when he said.

He who rides the back of the Tiger, ultimately ends up inside.

This could really get interesting in the coming two years left and right now the revolution that
began is going to get a lesson in how government really works.
Oh those latest poll results were broadcast on ABC earlier this evening. The reason I used

Did I ever defend Obama? For cryin' out loud, even before he won the presidency I'd already mentioned in this very forum that he was a mini-Bush.

As for creating jobs, I there is only so much the government can do. However, if you just give a man a fish, you're emptying your pocket books with nothing in return. Ideally you want to teach him how to fish so that he can eventually pay you back. As far as I can tell, Mini really hasn't done much by way of job training for the unemployed (but correct me if I'm wrong on that count).

Add to that that borrowing and spending, though it might create jobs in the short term, is by no means a stable proposition. If he absolutely had to raise spending, he should have raised taxes first.

Also, no job creation ought ever to be about jobs alone, as a be all ad end all. I get the impression that Mini decided just to bail everyone out and waste on 'shovel-ready' projects just for the sake of creating work in its own right. That's just stupid. instead, by let's say spending on job training for the unemployed, he still would have created jobs for teachers and and other spin-off jobs in publishing, construction, etc. while also preparing the unemployed for the upcoming economic boom. Should you look back at my posts soon after the economic crash and before our governments bailed out the banks and auto industry, I was vehemently outspoken against it in this very forum, and thought Mini's proposal was a big mistake.

I'm all for government job creation if done right; this was done in a totally disorganized, ad-hock, and unplanned manner with little concern for the long-term impact.

That said, I'm pretty sure Palin would be even worse for the national budget. She'd slash taxes and skyrocket military spending. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what that leads to economically.

Please don't make this a right vs. left issue. Just as there are fiscal conservatives on the right, we can also find economic happy-go-luckies on the left. Unfortunately, both Palin and Obama would represent the economic happy-go-luckies on both the left and right in that they both wanted to waste billions on bail outs.

Make no mistake about it: Obama himself is merely a Mini-Bush.

As the originator of another excellent post on the Sarah Palin topic I hoped you would add more of your thoughts to this thread - but you have chosen to remain away from it.

I was thrilled when I saw and heard Palin and followed her like a lapdog, while grimacing at the poor choice made by the Democratic Party in Obama - How could such a disparity of knowledge be at our doorsteps and the "lacking one" in potential reach success while Palin was forced into retirement.

I took it to be serendipity for her to learn more and absorb more national (lower forty-eight) and international knowledge before attempting another election process - and I hoped she would take five to ten more
years to amass her reputation as invincible with what she could do for the nation. Only Obama could
have the audacity of thinking he was a good choice - when is lack of expertise is what I believe was the motivating factor in his nomination by the handlers of other nations using their considerable influence over the eager to please US power play people.

I was surprised to see you log onto my space with a "bad" regarding the first comment of the three I made - which is a fair enough assessment on your part, but I would enjoy reading what it is I wrote which lead you to my off the cuff remarks on Sarah - I wrote what I felt was my own opinion - let's have yours - you leave no argument in your critique with a three letter word in a private space..... perhaps that is all you felt I deserved.

If you choose to ignore this I appreciate you took the time to advise your opinion - and again hope you will add more to the topic about Sarah Palin - a most unusual woman of our time. I could only hope to have a
small amount of her courage and knowledge. Curio

Good morning Curio- I guess with any political thread you have to put up with a lot of twaddle. :lol:
