Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion: It Always Has Been About Trig »
Posted By GehlLady 6 months ago in Political Opinion
Imagine the world Palin is trying to create, in which instead of a superior race, Palin breeds a stupider race. 20 years from now, she'll only be in her late 60s. She'll be able to run for President on the Retard ticket . . . no doubt with full support of Retardeds, Retarded Sympathizers, and the Politically-Correct.
What is wrong with people?

All about Trig?
But you know what's funny ... what's MOST funny about this thread?
This blogger envisions a grand hatred for Sarah Palin based upon some one percenters who voice disdain for Sarah's motives with Trig ... and k9kssr seizes on this fantastical creation by this blogger ... and uses it to incite hatred for the left.
Excuse me ... k9kssr calls them ... the "loony left".
Well, there is nothing loonier than to have someone read a fanciful screed ... interpret it as reality ... then use that as a podium to launch into a ipso facto attack on others.
LOL ... talk about loony.

But let's just be honest that most of the Republican reaction is mock outrage.
Reply
The simple fact is that the majority of Republicans never stood up to Rush when he compared Chelsea to a dog. They wouldn't stop listening to Rush, they wouldn't even really confront him on it. The most they may have done is not laugh at it, but I don't even know what percentage of Rush's listeners would do that. They certainly didn't chastise Rush for wanting our Country to fail so they could get some political advantage from it.
Now they are holier than thou?
Sarah Palin herself is in trouble. The main reason that she was soo popular in Alaska is that she would hand out free money to the population and make the oil companies pay for it (all while claiming that Obama is a socialist). Now that the price of crude oil is down almost 50%, she has a lot less to bribe her State with and no good policies of her own to fall back on. Having Letterman joke about her 14 year old daughter getting pregnant was a god send for an intellectually bankrupt Palin.
It's not about bigger government or smaller government, it's about SMARTER government.

BTW ... the right seems to be mystified as to why 'cute' Sarah is being criticized ... preferring to conclude that it is due to reactionary 'Lefties' with a political agenda.
Reply
This may indeed be true.
But couldn't it also be about her lack of understanding of basic issues?
Couldn't it also be about the astonishingly senile attempt by McCain to capture the female vote ... simply by selecting a female?
Couldn't it also be about the obvious political pandering to the Christian Evangelical PAC?
I mean we all know how Karl Rove figured out that if you get every Christian Evangelical to vote for you ... you can almost guarantee a win in the Electoral College ... even though you lose the popular vote.
Couldn't it also be the astonishing self righteousness?
Couldn't it also be the lack of patriotism for The United States - given her husband's membership in the Alaska Secessionist Movement?
Couldn't it also be the ludicrous attempt by Sarah to explain her husband's secessionist dream by claiming it was an 'honest mistake' on the voting form?
Couldn't it also be her desire to take away women's rights to their own bodies ... take away their choice?
Couldn't it also be about he annoying habit of ... whenever she stumbled in interviews ... she would ALWAYS complain that she was 'tripped up' by the ... ahem ... so called ... LIBERAL MEDIA?
..
NOW do y'all see how the Right Wing in America uses their Liberal Media Propaganda? If ever they screw up ... they blame the ... LIBERAL MEDIA.
How utterly cowardly.

Palin put her life, the life of her unborn child and everyone on the plane in danger because her youngest "had to be born in Alaska." How in God's name is that responsible parenting? She already knew she was high risk pregnancy on top of giving birth to a down's baby. I give her credit for having the child. But it ends there. She was not a good mother and did not set a good example by going to back to work four days later. Nor does she set a good example by bringing her children with her. Face it when children are in the workplace they are a major distraction and not much gets done.
She is not the best example of a woman having reached and breached the glass ceiling. IF anything she is a woman who wants a political career but feels guilty because she's not home raising her family. She hasn't figured out how to a. rely on help from others (oh yeah most of the right believes that you don't rely on help.) b. hire help c. delegate more d. manage more effectively.
She quit as Governor of AL. She cut and ran from the office and job the citizens of AL elected her to do. Again if a dem or third party candidate had done even an 1/8 of what she had done you'd all be all over her and investigating to high heaven.

Palin Faced a Rocky Road if She Filled Out Her Term
Reply
"She was facing a rocky road to the end of her term with falling approval numbers, criticism that she was paying too much attention to national matters and not the state, continuing ethics inquiries, efforts by news organizations to obtain emails written during the 2008 campaign and stories about her family that were grist for tabloids and even late-night comedian David Letterman.
But in the aftermath of Palin’s announcement, state politicians made clear that the resignation was highly unexpected."
--Everything is not the fault of the left, cons. Educate yourselves before posting crap. You only look more ignorant than people already think you are.
The sharpest response came from Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski , a fellow Republican, who issued a statement saying, “I am deeply disappointed that the Governor has decided to abandon the State and her constituents before her term has concluded.”

G. Gordon Liddy On Sotomayor: ‘Let’s Hope That The Key Conferences Aren’t When She’s Menstruating’
Reply
Yesterday on his radio show, conservative host G. Gordon Liddy continued the right wing’s all-out assault on Judge Sonia Sotomayor. First, just like Tom Tancredo, Liddy slammed Sotomayor’s affiliation with the civil rights group La Raza — and referred to the Spanish language as “illegal alien“:
LIDDY: I understand that they found out today that Miss Sotomayor is a member of La Raza, which means in illegal alien, “the race.” And that should not surprise anyone because she’s already on record with a number of racist comments.
Finished with the race-based attack, Liddy moved on to denigrate Sotomayor’s gender:
LIDDY: Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when she’s menstruating or something, or just before she’s going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then.
Finally, Liddy disputed the entire idea that there’s anything wrong with the paucity of women and total lack of Hispanics on the Court:
LIDDY: And everybody is cheering because Hispanics and females have been, quote, underrepresented, unquote. And as you pointed out, which I thought was quite insightful, the Supreme Court is not designed to be and should not be a representative body.

Yes ... one has to wonder why the Modern Republicans in America choose Indicted Criminals as their spokespeople.
Reply
The blogger who envisions ALL Americans who criticize Sarah Palin as somehow not liking her because of Trig. Which is so ludicrous ... it's like the ravings of a schizophrenic.
And yet ... these same people listen attentively to G. Gordon Liddy ... a CONVICTED FELON who committed crimes against our nation.
And of course, it was FOX Inc. that gives G. Gordon Liddy a platform to spew dissension and partisan angst among the citizens of America.
And why not?
FOX is run by an Australian who cares little about our nation ... our system of government ... our people.
Just like Sarah Palin's husband ... who was an avowed member of the Alaska Secessionist Movement.
People like Todd Palin, G. Gordon Liddy, Wolfie2007 ... these are Americans in name only.
What they really want is to eliminate democracy ... why? ... because in a democracy ... people have rights to opinions that .... diverge from their own.
These angry folks simply cannot abide this state of affairs ... and long for a powerful president who is a DECIDER ... who does his own thing ... regardless ... and doesn't care what the PEOPLE want.
Of course ... we all saw what that can do to a nation.

After widespread Republican losses across the country, Palin urged her party not to become negative, saying they should challenge Democrats in Washington on issues such as energy and health care policy through effective reform efforts in their own states.
Reply
“So now with recent elections wrapped up, yup, on the federal level we are now the minority party," Palin said. "But let us resolve not to become the negative party, too eager to find fault or unwilling to help in this time of crisis and war."
“Losing an election does not have to mean losing our way," Palin added. "And for governors, the way forward leads through our own state capitals, in reforms that we will carry on or begin anew. And I promise you, Americans will be looking to their governors for reactions, for stepped-up leadership, and for our ability to unite and to progress."
Palin dismissed speculation about her own political future -- with many now believing she will be a top candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
"Let the pundits go on with their idle talk about the next election, what happens in 2012," Palin said. "Our concern should be about our state's next great reform, our next budget, our next opportunity to progress in the states that we serve."

In Alaska, Many Pine for the Old Palin
Reply
The governor is [was] a hot ticket in the Lower 48, but her in-state approval is sagging.
"Take the once-compliant state Legislature, now pushing back against Palin. Lawmakers in April blocked her choice for state attorney general, making controversial Anchorage lawyer Wayne Anthony Ross the first cabinet nominee ever rejected in Alaska. Now, lawmakers have gathered near-unanimous support to override Palin’s veto of $28 million in federal stimulus funding for energy-conservation projects. The veto, critics say, was calculated to appeal to her conservative base in the Lower 48.
Take Alaska Natives, who say their interests are more ignored than ever.
“She can see Russia out of her house, but she can’t seem to see the things that our villages are dealing with,” says Myron Naneng, president of the Association of Village Council Presidents, a tribal group serving the poverty-stricken Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta in western Alaska. Palin’s nomination of Mr. Ross, who has spent much of his career fighting native hunting, fishing, and tribal interests, added “insult to injury,” Mr. Naneng says.
Native fishermen along the lower Yukon River in the past week protested with their nets, illegally catching salmon they believe has been unfairly denied to them by a neglectful governor and her administration."
"Dissatisfaction is summed up by one bumper sticker: “Hey Sarah … the job’s in Juneau.”
In Palin’s defense, she spent most of the past legislative session in the capital, says John Bitney, a high school friend who was her legislative liaison until a falling-out with the governor got him fired.
There is also the challenge of balancing parochial Alaskan issues with the demands of being a national Republican star. “She’s focused on the national level now, and she’s playing in a league that’s pretty big,” says Mr. Bitney, now a legislative staffer."

We are as terrified of her as we are of rush limblah. We want them to be the spotlight of the republican party because we know they both offend the moderates and make them vote dem.

Reply
--Boo hoo, b*tch. How stupid are you to talk as if you only hear "rampant" meanness from the left? Do you think no one knows what kind of filth and hatred you neocon freaks are tuning into daily? Get serious, grow up and stop whining.
"As far as Sarah's experience, the left-wingers must be deaf not to hear or understand what she has accomplished in Alaska, or they just don't want to know. They would rather have a President who thinks he is the messiah."
--The problem with your extreme ignorance is that the people of ALASKA don't agree with you regarding Palin's alleged accomplishments. Now go ahead and TRY to pin *that* on the left. Her approval ratings SUCK (one of the REAL reasons she's quitting) right now so Palin, idiot that she is, decided to pull the ripcord before her ratings were swirling at the bottom of the toilet. Stop trying to blame everything on the left (yeah, you're the party of personal responsibility alright)and grow a spine.-

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin , who abruptly announced her resignation from office earlier today, may be facing a federal indictment for embezzlement, according to Huffington Post blogger Shannyn Moore.
"Sarah Estrella, Sex & Relationship Examiner says:

Sarah Palin lacks what the GOP needs most
Reply
The Republicans need a White House candidate with ideas, steadiness and the ability to unify. That's not Alaska's departing governor.
Is Sarah Palin the answer the Republican Party is looking for?
Not likely. Palin's abrupt announcement that she's quitting as governor of Alaska may be part of a long-term strategy that leads to the Oval Office. But at the moment, it looks more like the impulsive act of a hot-headed politician who can't abide criticism -- poor attributes for anyone who hopes to run for president.
Take Palin at her word: She decided to quit because she didn't think she could get much done for Alaska in her remaining 18 months in office, beset as she was with ethics charges that never seemed to go away.
"My staff and I spend most of our day ... dealing with this stuff instead of progressing our state," she complained.
It's possible that Palin knows something we don't about "this stuff," and that's what spurred her to resign. But even if she doesn't, it's easy to see why being governor wasn't much fun anymore.
Palin's popularity in Alaska has sunk from 93% in 2007 to 54% in May, still a respectable rating but a huge drop.
She faced a tough fight for reelection in 2010. She had few strong allies among Republicans in the Alaska Legislature after alienating many with her headstrong style. She had few prospects of closing out her term on a wave of landmark achievements that would boost her as a national candidate.
And she had a few laurels to rest on. After two years in office, she had accomplished her three main goals: higher taxes on oil production, legislation authorizing a new natural gas pipeline, and ethics reform. The rest of her agenda -- a new budget, education reform and negotiations over the pipeline contract -- looked more difficult and less rewarding. Another year in the governor's office could merely have diminished her standing. She quit, in short, to cut her losses while she could still plausibly claim to be ahead.

I'm sure a great deal of it has to do with her children. They've been brutalized, raped, and TORTURED by the liberal media. But it's what we've come to expect of the looney left.....if torturing small, defenseless, helpless children gets them what they want, the left have no scruples about doing it.
Reply
And don't give me that sh!t about her "parading" them around......had she done anything different, treated them like the hapless victim/children of Michael Jackson hiding them behind masks, she would have been criticized for that, too.
Hope you are proud of yourselves, the looney left can beat up little kids.........and WIN!!

The GOP's problem with Sarah Palin
Reply
Everyone seems to have a Sarah Palin story of ignored calls, mishandled invitations or unanswered e-mail. Disorganized is how one might charitably describe the Palin operation.
"Basically, it's just rude," says one political operative, who is a Palin fan. "They've been running the great snub machine. That's the reason the boys in the Republican Party are unhappy with her."
That unhappiness has been building gradually the past seven months, but was on full display this week as the party faithful gathered for a fundraising dinner at which Palin originally was invited to speak. She was later uninvited and Newt Gingrich took her place.
Watching the dinner-speaker spectacle develop, then unravel, then redevelop (Will she or won't she?) felt like watching a middle-school romance in which a friend tells another friend that so-and-so has a crush on you-know-who, but don't tell anybody. A little silly, in other words. And embarrassing.
The "tick-tock" of what happened is a Byzantine exercise in blame-shifting. Briefly, someone in Palin's "organization" accepted the original invitation in March, whereupon the dinner hosts issued a press release announcing that Palin would be the keynote speaker.

I agree that running for president in 1012 is probably not going to happen.
But - I think that as a member of congress she would be a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately there is a group united against her because she is not for gay marriage.
And I personally disagree with her stance on woman's choice - I think that a woman's uterus is none of the government's business.-

--Really, Klarissa?:
Couric: You've said, quote, "John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business." Other than supporting stricter regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, can you give us any more example of his leading the charge for more oversight?
Palin: I think that the example that you just cited, with his warnings two years ago about Fannie and Freddie - that, that's paramount. That's more than a heck of a lot of other senators and representatives did for us.
Couric: But he's been in Congress for 26 years. He's been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation, not more.
Palin: He's also known as the maverick though, taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying to get people to understand what he's been talking about - the need to reform government.
Couric: But can you give me any other concrete examples? Because I know you've said Barack Obama is a lot of talk and no action. Can you give me any other examples in his 26 years of John McCain truly taking a stand on this?
Palin: I can give you examples of things that John McCain has done, that has shown his foresight, his pragmatism, and his leadership abilities. And that is what America needs today.
Couric: I'm just going to ask you one more time - not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation.
Palin: I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.
