Is anyone else embarrassed for the lefties…

…on this board?

Seriously, the devotion to all things Palin is really weird. She is a non-elected, no-voting, not running, person of the public that affects your lives in no way. She is well within her rights to speak up and out about that which she either believes in or had trouble with. And still, you guys treat her like somehow or another she has any effect on your lives.

And, to bring to the pint something I have been accused of, I am accused of being obsessed with Obama and I think it it now safe to say there is a major difference. I am discussing and relaying daily news items of which he is part of. He signs stuff and advocates for stuff that will affect my life, maybe not now, but someday.

This is truly weird to see you guys doing this.

Here’s a little side bar for y’all:

Having notes on her hand, and speaking largely extemporaneously is something I would not make an issue of since all of America knows that “The One” needs every last word charted out for him no matter how large the audience.

Not a juxtaposition I would want o make if I were you.

[Jacob in Bedford]

I wonder if we'll start to see lunatic conspiracy theories about her the way the far right did about Clinton.

[NUCC 2003]

I think we should dub it Palin Mania Syndrome.

Dick Morris offered a few anti-Clinton conspiracy theories of his own. You don’t have to be right-wing to do that.

I was referring to the "Clinton as a murderer" ones.

It is very strange. I don't understand the fixation so many on the left have with her either. If they aren't afraid of her, as they claim, then why the obsession? If she is "irrelevant" ( can't remember which lefty said that) then why bother bringing her up all the time?

[leftyg]

How about all the vitriol spewed against the "hollywood left" by righties. They are not elected either, and none of them ran for vice-president either.

Simple answer to this question will tell you all need to know:

Does it happen to this extent?

Why is it you never address a direct question. Rather you deflect with "but they do it"

Is this a joke? What about the venom the lefties spew at talk radio? Even you have to know you're reaching.

SarahCuda is a contributor to Faux "news", and as Roger Ailes admitted on Sunday, they tend to lea a tad to the right. Which is fine. All voices should be heard.
But to think that SarahCuda is qualified to be president is to question sanity.
She's hot, no doubt, but she doesn't "know" anything about anything. Barry was a community activist, but he wa also a State Senator, and a US Senator, as well as a Constitutional scholar. Palin was the guv of Alaska....

It's kinda like the way Limbaugh is always talking about Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. But then Sharpton, Jackson and Palin all put themselves into the spotlight and invite comment. When you have reached the point where SNL is doing skits of you, you have lost your right to be too offended by what other people are saying about you.

You have to remember that they are Democrats, so they lie a lot.

They do have obsessions for Palin and Limbaugh. Those two represent true conservative beliefs, and that's what they are scared of. If conservatism ever became a norm in our country, that would be the end of liberalism forever. How many people would be against low taxation, less government, low spending, and social programs for only those who need them? That's what true conservatism would bring.

The liberals have this belief that if they can kill conservatism while Republicans are at their weakest point, they can usher in socialism or communism. There would be no resistance. So people like Sarah and Rush are indeed a major threat to their goal.

Osama voted "present" on most issues while he was a state Senator, and while a federal Senator, he spent most of that time campaigning for President. Palin didn't have the pleasure of going to an ivy league school. She learned politics as she made her way up the ladder. She relates to the average American the way Osama can't. And when you have a guy that attempted to force Americans into buying something they did not want, it makes me question his ability to understand the Constitution as well.

[daninchardon]

Helleva statement Densa...I am seriously asking for a link to this one.

She also has far more private sector experience and she is more qualified than you and just to show that you know less than her I'll point you to the "point" of this thread.

She can't vote on or sign legislation. Yet you won't shut up about her.

You need a tampon girlie (this is just a passing phase with you right?). Never read from you until these last two weeks or so such thoughtless commentary on EVERYTHING.
You have made no points nor sense. You're throwing insults at people and NOT answering anything like an all too sensetive bitch.

Missed the point! Not surprised at all.

The funny thing is that you chicks are responding to a thread that laughs at your side's all too bunched up panties over Palin.

I thought for a second that said communist activist. That might have been more accurate.

I think you can say whatever you want about Sarah Palin densa, but you really have to admit that the left in this country is obsessed with her. It makes you wonder why? It's bizarre.

I'm not a fan of Palin, especially as a leader of a movement or political party, but I would have to back you on that.

It is easy for me to see why she is obsessed about by elitists on the left. She does not fit the mold of a typical woman in politics. She is not a Blueblood socialite....she didn't grow up in a rich family and go to Vassar, marry an investment banker, live in an Upper East Side penthouse, and tie her sweater around her neck. She is not one of "them"....and middle-aged women are no different than middle school girls. They love to single out one girl from the herd and make fun of her till she develops an eating disorder or make a lame attempt at suicide.

Of that we can agree. Palin is not my choice for the next Republican nominee, but she does get a disproportionate amount of attention from the left.

I agree with you. Especially the part about women. At any age, we are vicious creatures.

[daninchardon]

I think it is safe to say that none of us think she is "presidential" which is why it is so funny when Densa and others try to tell us she's not and that she is no Obama. What is even funnier is that saying things like "she's no Obama" must mean they think Obama IS presidential (still despite all evidence to the contrary).

We admit Palin is a great cheer leader for the cause and a great fundraiser and she gets to attack the base of the left unappologetically keeping the true contender's hands clean, yet they keep telling us she shouldn't be president.
This world of their's is surreal.

It is like our side telling them the sky is up and them saying to us, "You idiots, the sky is up!"

We get it, she's not the best qualified for president. So why do you guys keep telling us that.


There is one other incidental asset Palin brings. It is that the reast of the moderates get to see just how petty the far left is and how they hate people who aren't like them. It show how small your tent really is. Otherwise you wouldn't have to rely on buying off votes with our money.

[Ed Chagrin Falls]

I'm glad you don't think Sarah is presidential material, Dan, but she doesn't agree with you in that she just said this past weekend that she is not ruling out a run for the White House. As I said before, Palin is rather average other than her looks. If she looked like Hillary Clinton and still stood for the same principles and articulated them the way she does now, nobody would have ever given her the time of day. I think the more people see of her, the more they realize this sad, but true, fact.

As for Obama and teleprompters, nobody reads them better and according to many news people who have to read them every night on the news, this is not necessarily an easy art. In fact, many politicians forego the teleprompter and go from notes while giving speeches because they feel a lot more secure doing so (apparently Palin even writes things on her hands). As for needing a prompter to discuss the issues, the president has shown quite well recently, before both Republicans and Democrats, that he can discuss and debate any issue with others persuasively and fluidly without the aid of a teleprompter.

Ash, you need to fine tune that a little bit. Not all women are vicious creatures (you and I only bring out the claws when absolutley necessary ).
Michelle Obama is one of my least favorite women today, yet I don't find it necessary to bash her for her inane comments and attire on a daily basis. But she REALLY needs to stop wearing those awful belts.

Ed, you're a great guy that doesn't get it.

We have a problem with the left's obsession with her. End of story.
She has no vote and she has every right.

Ed, Obama is not presidential. I am sorry but he's not.

Ed, she said as to running for President, and I quote, "I would, I would if I beleive it was the right thing for the country and the Pallin family, certainly, I would do so." And "I won't close the door that could perhaps be open in the future".
If you watch the interview, she also stated that there are others with much more information regarding current events who could potentially do more than she could.
The left is so focused on the fact that she won't say no to a presidential run, they miss the rest of the comments she makes.
The left (and right for that matter) need to focus on what is actually happening in Washington rather than a footnote in our history.

And lets not forget, that your dear Obama initially stated he would not run for President before he did run for President because it is not a place for 'on the job training'.

[NUCC 2003]

I wonder if she wouldn't be a good fit for Chairman of the RNC. Aside from the fact that Steele has hardly overwhelmed anyone, she's shown that in the NY-23 and Massachusetts Senate elections that where she goes the money follows. (And before any dems says that she wouldn't be a good fit because of a few dumb things she's said in the past, I suggest you Google "Howard Dean" and "Scream".)

[daninchardon]

And, another thing about Obama Ed. Leaders lead. They do not pass the buck. Ken Jennings had all the answers but is still not presidential.

He is becoming notorious, even amongst some of the left for “passing the buck” which, in a speech he said recently, “The buck stops here.” After that he proceeded to blame everybody else. He has continued from that moment to do just that. He won’t take responsibility for the KSM trial and continues to mention Holder when he is asked about it.

He hired Holder and you know he’s lying if he acts as if he did not sign off on it.

Back to your point here kitten, I thought liberals were supposed to be so tolerant of everything and everyone? You'd think they would appreciate her being so different from them. After all, President Obama did say "We find unity in our incredible diversity". ButiIt's not really "diversity" if everyone has to fall in lock step with them.

Liberal tolerance means that a group has a white woman, a black man, an asian man, a hispanic woman, and a white man, and they all vote for Obama. That is diversity.
