Palin-Hate - Logan Darklighter - 11-07-2008 Rann says about what I was thinking on this. (Not surprisingly, since he, Forge and myself discuss politics regularly in-person) Quote:It's kind of funny to see that a lot of Dems are still majorly butthurt - Evil Midnight Lurker - 11-07-2008 *bursts into helpless hysterical laughter* Logan, I pray every night that Palin does run in 2012. She'd be a huge plus for the Dems. I don't believe she could possibly make it past the Republican primary, but I can dream, you know? --Sam "Absolute power is a sticky wicket." - Wiregeek - 11-07-2008 our very own Rev stated better than I could why Palin in any office with more responsobility than a Kinkos is a bad idea. "No can brain today. Want cheezeburger." From NGE: Nobody Dies, by Gregg Landsman http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5579457/1/NGE_Nobody_Dies - Ayiekie - 11-07-2008 "after the guy's supporters claimed her husband fucked her daughter and made a special retard baby". I'm so glad your friend get butthurt over the comments of the lunatic fringe and you felt the need to share it with us. Perhaps we should discuss about what some of YOUR lunatic fringe had to say about Obama. Just for fairness sakes'. And yes, barring a major image makeover, Palin's not got a snowball's chance in hell in 2012. My only worry is that she will again be instrumental in whipping up racists and bigots. By the by, you might have noticed if you read the news (OMGLEFTISTMEDIA!111) that it's more Republicans that have been savaging Mrs. Palin (and her supporters savaging right back), whereas Dems have been more giddy with their resounding victory. As is pretty much what usually happens. Also? Your friend is full of shit and says things that are half and/or wholly untrue to make himself feel better (yes, the left totally had no complaints about presidential nominee McCain before you-know-who showed up, uh-huh, it's certainly not like he didn't modify many of his long standing positions or anything). I guess he didn't sign on with your determination to be vaguely gracious about Obama's victory. At least you haven't started calling him names again yet. - Fidoohki - 11-08-2008 53% is not 'resounding'. - Ayiekie - 11-08-2008 See my other comment about the percentage by which Reagan beat Carter. Would you call that "resounding"? This is the most decisively contested election since Reagan-Mondale. (That's also ignoring the fact that Obama won states that hadn't gone Democratic in decades, and seriously contested many others that were considered safe red states before this election cycle.) - Fidoohki - 11-09-2008 Funny isn't it on how they sent all these reporters to alaska when she was announced and didn't find a hint of the attitude these campaigners claim she had. - Ayiekie - 11-09-2008 Actually, there was quite a bit of bad things that came up as soon as she was first investigated (like the "Troopergate" thing, the rape kits, the misuse of funds, etc.). At the time, however, this was drowned out by the flood of positive coverage she was getting in the (EVIL LIBRUL) mainstream media. - Fidoohki - 11-09-2008 'Troopergate' was proven to be much about nothing as you well know. the rape kits were not pushed under the 'positive' flood. there was never a link that tied her to ordering it. and be specific on the 'misuse of funds' and try to get a non partisan site for it not one of your liberal crapfests. - Lordpanther14 - 11-10-2008 The only reason I voted for McCain was because of Sarah Palin. McCain has been a perpetual thorn in the Republican's side and to be honest I'm not sad he lost. I was in the sad position that whoever won, I lost. I'm going into the Navy soon and I'm not looking forward to all the cuts in defense spending that Obama has promised. Obama's foreign policy hasn't been very clear but what I have heard, in regards to forcefully entering Pakistan without their permission if we find Osama Bin Laden there, wanting to pass any international action past the United Nations, and being global citizens, worries me. That tangent aside, if Sarah Palin were to run in the primaries right now, I have no doubt that she would get the nomination and according to a recent Rassmussen Report I wouldn't be wrong. The one thing people seem to forget is that before Palin became McCain's VP is that McCain didn't have a solid republican base pulling for him. The only reason he survived the primaries is because the conservative vote was split between Huckabee and Romney for so long that McCain could use his pull with liberal and moderate republicans to reach an unbeatable lead, similar to what Obama did. With Palin, McCain was able to solidify the conservative base and made a good showing of himself. A lot of mud gets thrown in any political campaign and I haven't really heard of anything sticking to Palin once its investigated. I do think that Palin is one of the Republican Party's best hope of regaining the power its lost. I pray we see her again in 2012. If we had to have a Carter before we could have a Reagan, than it looks like we get to have an Obama before we can have a Palin. |
