Truth is stranger than fiction - The Sarah Palin Chronicles

[CGM]

....see I would have guessed Ted Kennedy but then again you left out the way he killed a lady whilst driving drunk

he didn't go on to be president.....thankfully. He loved the IRA.

Well it wasn't for lack of trying

CGM, Joe Biden has just started, I'm sure he'll give us more fodder than Dick Cheaney gave the liberals

Don't put too much onto my remark about Cheney. It was as much a remark about Kennedy. People make mistakes, have accidents, bad things happen, You can't define their entire lives by that.

Anyways, I've thought a few things about Cheney, but stupid wasn't one of them. I haven't paid close attention to Biden, so I can't say about him. He does have plenty of experience though. Palin I have paid some attention to. And that is how I have formed my opinions of her.

I know a few Republicans who are dead set against her but a guy I used to work with actually said yes when I asked if he'd rather have her as President than Obama, that just boggles my mind. And yes I know obviously Republicans would vote for almost any Republican over Obama but Sarah Palin? Seriously?

Running our country?

It would be funny if it wasn't so horrifically depressing.

Dude would probably vote for Bonzo the chimp before he voted for a democrat.

I like to hear about her foreign policy experience with Russia. I guess being able to see them on a clear day counts for something. But then again, it's all about creating jobs, so I guess we can't complain.

....yes creating jobs, how's that working out for Ol' Barry?

Outside of philosophical differences between Palin and Obama, I really don't see much difference between her and the President as far as intangibles go. Considering that Sen. McCain was not tremendously popular in his own party and still pulled 47% of the popular vote, the Republicans simply need a candidate that galvanizes the party and can win 25-30% of the swing vote. I have strong reservations whether Palin is such a candidate but she brings a "star" quality similar to the Presidents that can't be learned. You either have it or don't. It is very early to speculate and I hope the President turns this train wreck around but with an economy that is stagnant at best and a sub par foriegn policy (only my opinion obviously) Obama is leaving the door open for a distinct possibility of being a one term president.

[OumaFan]

what intangibles?

Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin, Haley Barbour, these people have no chance of beating Obama unless something drastic happens. I would go so far as to say the Republicans have no chance whatsover but everybody I guess technically has a chance. Nominate Romney and pray but the chances of the Republicans winning in 2012 are slim.

It makes me feel better that at least see some right wingers see her for what she is.

The "she gets picked on by the liberal media because she's conservative" line is ridiculous, every time she opens her mouth she comes off looking like a buffoon. Its not a conspiracy.

I really do hope she's the nominee though. Obama-Palin will come close to Reagan-Mondale as far as landslides go. Obama versus Jindal would be a cakewalk but not quite as much so although it would be interesting for Jindal's creepy factor. Haley Barbour

Romney, while kind of slimy, at least is relatively well educated and competent so that's a plus on Palin.

...

...

Just one comment.

You do have a point. She was a very bright star when she was first brought onto the national stage. But I'd say that star faded for many of her original supporters once they got to know her better.

I'm retiring....but do ya want to come watch me do some salmon slaying with the family.....jeeezus, enough already!!

I think its one of the best things that has happened for the republican party.They need to move on and away from this one.That 15 minutes has run its course.

....yes creating jobs, how's that working out for Ol' Barry?

Who? Let me guess, he must be a democrat. And my comment was not about jobs or republicans, it was about the disjointed and incoherent speeches of one person. Anyways, I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you want you can respond to my comments about one stupid person who happens to be a republican, by picking one democrat who happens to be stupid, but it don't make Palin any less of a moron.

Barack Obama....what is he doing about jobs Where's this "stimulus" he's bankrupted us for?!?!

And you're right about "it doesn't make Palin any less of a moron" but it makes all those Democrats the biggest hypocrits out there as they didn't vote for Palin but they DID vote for Joe Biden and Barack Obama DUMB and INEXPERIENCED.

I repeat, my original comment about jobs was a reference to Palin's comment in the Katie Couric interview, where she made such a comment that was totally out of context in what was a disjointed reply to a question from Couric. It has nothing to do with real job creation or lack therof.

I have made no comments about Biden, except that he has plenty of political experience. And my comments on Palin were based more on intellect and not experience.

Frankly I think intellect, vision, philosophy, and leadership qualities are as important in a leader as experience, and so do a lot of Americans apparently.

Anyways Lyle, it It sounds like we are going to have to agree to disagree on our comparisons of Obama and Palin.

Obama bankrupted who exactly? The US is suffering because of years of mismanagement that took place under the Bush administration and for allowing Wall street and the banking sector to run amok without enough regulation. And you are raving on about Obama providing jobs? Give it some time, he's hardly been President a minute.

Obama is lucid, intelligent and done a fair job thus far. He commands respect and seems to do so internationally too which is needed for America after the mockery and shame Bush brought upon the US. Under Obama you feel that there is stability and something to respect. It might just be fancy rhetoric, but there have been some positive steps.

You keep ranting on about experience. But seriously, what experience does one need in politics? Better to have inexperience plus intelligence IMO than experience plus ignorance. Better to have someone relatively youthful and in touch with public perceptions than idiots like Bush or old men about to pop their clogs like McCain.

And Palin is clearly an idiot. It amazes me that anybody can even question that. But then again little surprises me with certain sectors of the US population anymore!
