Sarah Palin resigning as Governor of Alaska

Did they set aside their responsitbilities as senators 3.5 years prior to the election?

She quit.
She quit one facet of a job which she could no longer serve effectively; one in which her continued presence was counter productive to her obligations and the charter of her office...

ROFL... NO? Well I expect that she'll help Alaskans in substantially larger ways by unseating anti-Americans in the US Federal Legislature and as the President of the US, than your flaccid little conclusion otherwise projects.


No matter how Willow tries to spin this, this isn't a good move.

Willows perspective has no bearing on whether the move was good or not. It is her perspective; what's more you've offered NOTHING which would so much as contest Willows perspective, let alone discredit it.

If you're goal is to do so, I suggest you cite that perspective and speak to it directly, instead of this vague reference, and this broad rejection of it.

It makes about as much sense as it did when McCain picked her. Couldn't even beat a black guy.

ROFLMNAO... It is hysterical to watch those who have demonstrated themselves to be VOID of any sense of sense, to speak that that which they feel doesn't 'make sense'... but to conclude with a statement which rests in UNBRIDLED RACISM, well that is just PRECIOUS...

She quit being governor or she quit "one facet". I think you insert words just to make yourself seem more intelligent than you actually are. Sometimes less is more.

Did Reagan have to quit being the governor of California to run? Did Bush quit being the Texas Governor? Did McCain quit to run? Hillary? Maybe you can show a past president who quit their job in order to run. Giving one example would go a long way in showing that this isn't a huge ******* red flag.

She can't be the leader of the free world if she can't handle being governor and raise her kids, even when most of them are adults.

And I work with people who's kids are serving in Iraq, and they still come to work every day.

If she can't be Governor because of problems, then she certainly can't be the President. What if she quit?

My god, just look at everything that's on Obama's plate. Sure in 2000 you might have thought that a stupid right winger could be president (because you voted for Bush), but not today. Not after 9-11. Not with everything thats going on in the world.

Anyways Pubes, I will entertain this conversation for as long as you want, and you can talk high falootin all you want and say it as elequently as you can, but the fact is, Palin is a joke. And none of these stories that keep her name in the spotlight do anything good as far as being president goes.

I'm hoping the next move she makes is a Playboy centerfold. And then you and Willow can argue with me why it was a good move too.

And before I hit submit, I just want to point out that how you write is very elitest. Here is an example. You wrote: to speak that which they feel. Who talks that way?

ROFLMNAO... Delusional fantasies are so cool...

I knew you'd have no substantive response. That's 'cause you're a blowhard, PubliusAdNauseam

So you felt that there would be grounds for a substantial response to a point which declares itself a fantasy?

A point wherein you project that a woman who dismantled one of the most powerful old-boy networks in the world; and a gal who withstood the full weight of the US Media, who poured MONTHS OF SLANDER AND LIES, absurd personal denigrations and hysterical calumny upon her CHILDREN... and who closed a double digit race to 5 points... that THIS women would have had no means to compete with the world leaders, as President of the US...

Yeah...

Want a substantive response... post something of substance to which one can respond.

See, perfect example. Most people would have wrote, "a point where you project...."

But you had to use the word wherein. Who says or writes like that?

Only a person trying to sound smarter than they are.

But yes, I will give her that she took the media slams pretty well. Actually, no she didn't. It really got to her. And she went rogue on McCain. That's gotta cause the party some concern.

What slander and lies? Everything that came out about her was true. She was involved with the Alaskan Independence Party, just like that Texas governor who called for sucession from the union. Racist bastards.

Oh, and I'm not a racist for saying what I said earlier. Fact is, none of you right wingers thought Obama had a chance in hell and it wasn't because he was young or inexperienced, and you know it. You didn't think he could win because he was black. Hell, most Democrats worried about that too. So I was just pointing out that Palin was such a bad choice that they couldn't even beat a black guy. Hell, Palin was so bad, she couldn't even win over the femanists who were mad Hillary didn't win. Admit it, Palin sucks.

And sorry, but you can't say Obama is "palin around with terrorists" and then cry when the media attacks you. What a typical woman thing to do.

And you don't know that she closed a double digit lead. That's just what Rasmussen said. So now you believe the polls? Funny, you didn't believe them before but now you do?

The media wanted us to think it was close. If it isn't close, then no need to spend up those advertising dollars. McCain pulled out of Michigan when he figured out he couldn't win here. So how much money did Detroit TV lose when he stopped running those expensive ads? Exactly. So they said it was close until we saw Obama handed McCain/Palin their asses on a platter. It wasn't even close.

Did the polls show that Obama was going to turn all those red states blue? No, it only showed that those states were up for grabs.
 
the Boy King completely set aside his responsibilities as Senator to run for the Presidency... One could argue otherwise, but last time I checked he failed to carry out his commitment; as did the Vice president...

Did they set aside their responsitbilities as senators 3.5 years prior to the election?

So you're saying that the State Legislator Hussein, didn't set aside his obigations to run for the US Senate and that almost immediately into his first term as US Senator, that he didn't set aside THOSE duties to run for the Presidency?

Now let's see... 4 year term... Hussein was elected the same year as Palin... and without digging TOO deep into the specifics... we know from the common record that almost IMMEDIATELY after being sworn into THAT four year term of office he began to campaign in earnest for the US Presidency... Now this in contrast to Palin, who didn't spend a MINUTE campaigning for Anything post her election to Governor of Alaska until she was asked by the Candidate of her Party to be the VP...

Which of course, could not reasonably be concluded to be a rejection of or otherwise a failure to respect their office and the duties thereof... But here we find the conclusion that The Governor Resigning, is somehow a blight on her character, when had the McCain campaign prevailed, she would have done so 6 months ago... and with no means to reasonably conclude, and with very few concluding that such represented a similar character flaw to that which is now being projected; and likewise no one has concluded that the Lord of the Idiots was demonstrating a poor character by HIS RESIGNING FROM HIS OFFICIAL DUTIES, to pursue other interests, which he concluded represented a 'higher calling'... Wich FTR: IS AT A LEVEL WHICH PRESENTLY STANDS AS TWICE THAT DEMONSTRATED BY Governor Palin.


But with that said let's do the math...

Now the value of time you placed was 3.5 years...

4 years... take away 'almost immediately' and that's in the neighborhood of 3.5 years short on his obligations as Senator; subtract from that, his pursuing the US Senate, which clearly and certainly it's arguable that such a pursuit came with presidential aspirations and ya have the 3.5 year demarc as well...

Now what is your point, exactly?

Why did you feel to use the word Earnest?

I want to use a word for you. Tell me if it is appropriate or not. Smarmy.

This definition:

smarmy A certain attitude often accompanied by a squinty look and a superior smile that makes you instantly hate a person. Similar to snobby.
He/she/it is totally smarmy, I want to punch them in the face.
 
Strikes Against Her:
(1) Lack of experience: And this changes by her quiting in her first term as governor? In fact if she wanted to run for another office, her lack of experience would have been qwelled if she stayed the course. Now her lack of experience is exemplified!

(2) Stupidity: 6 colleges in 5 years. U of Idaho, not an IV league school. Some of her speech and interviews make her look well stupid! Sorry but calling your husband Joe Sixpack doesn't make you or him look any better. Pardoning a Turkey when one is getting slaughtered behind you is just not smart. Making a horrible and disorganized speech, which would have been the biggest of your career, on the 3rd of July makes you look well stupid.

(3) Family Values: Sorry, but teen pregnancy puts a damper in that.

(4) McCain Campaigner dishing dirt: Like it or not, true or untrue, it makes her look bad and good attack ad material.

(5) Clothing spending: Hurts her on the spending front, esp anti-pork.

(6) Foreign Policy Experience: Is she solving this? Maybe as a AK governor who some-what borders Russia, she should have used this to some advantage. I know governors are restricted on trade and other treaties with foreign countries, but maybe she could have done something. Ditto with Canada! She might have start doing the same with Mexico and other countries! I don't know, but now without and political clout of having a position, what FPE can she pick up?

(7) McCain Non-endorsement: Some lost respect for McCain, but most still hold him highly. He endorsed everyone but her and even addressed that he left her out. Forgot what talk show it was on.

(8) Seen as a Quiter: Quiting in a prestigious term is viewed as it should, a sign to clear weakness!

(9) Alaska: Being a mayor in small town in AK is different than that of NYC. Same with being a governor of AK vs say TX, IL, CA or NY. AK with its tiny population, distance from the lower 48 states and survival basically on oil revenues is viewed is, justifiably or unjustifably, in less a light than the lower 48 states and even from HI!

What she has going for Her:
(1) Pro-Abortion and a Record to prove it: In the end all Republicans take that stance. And it becomes less of an issue in the primaries. So it doesn't help.

(2) Good Looks: This doesn't help if everyone knows you a gigantic idiot with no experience.

Palin quit, so therefore she's a quitter.

Like I said..........she's a pampered prom queen turned political Playboy bunny, who when "the media was mean to her" ended up turning yellow, and running away like the coward she is.

Thank God she decided to quit before she could do any real damage.

PUBES CAN'T ARGUE WITH THIS OR WHAT GHOOKS SAID. :eusa_whistle:

Bob Dole quit the Senate because questions were raised about his ability to do both. But none of the people, and yes not even Hillary, has taken the unrelenting attacks against their integrety as well as their family as has Palin. Not even close. While Hillary took some crap from the right, she was still always a media darling to the MSM, and they hold the power of disseminating public recriminations and criticism, not someone like a Rush Limbaugh or other right wing talk show hosts.

How'd that work out for Bob? And maybe his wife should have resigned as Senator of North Carolina so she could have run for re-election as North Carolina Senator because clearly she couldn't run and represent her state at the same time. She hardly ever even visited N. Carolina.

And no one else was attacked like Palin because no one deserved it like she did. Even if you leave her out of it, McCain should have never picked her. Or, she should have never accepted, because she was/is a joke. And the more we learn, the more we realize that she's even more of a joke than we thought. Each day she becomes an even bigger joke.

The interviews, her kids, her husband, the scandals.

OMG, the scandals alone. We were FINALLY getting rid of Cheney who totally abused his power for 8 years and here McCain tries to replace him with a governor from Alaska, WHO WAS ABUSING HER POWER!!

And the infighting with Sarah and MCCain.

Sorry the focus didn't stay on Rev. Wright for longer than 6 months. Didn't the media run that story long enough? Or Bill Ayers. Obama was in the same building as him 2 times in his life, so I guess he was palin around with terrorists.

Yet hardly any mention of Palin being involved with the Alaskan Independence Party??? The party that wants Alaska to seceed from the union???

And she shouldn't have worked her crowds up so much that they said LYNCH OBAMA. It just proved how hateful and racist the right is. You didn't think there were lefty media's in that audience? Then I guess you are as dumb as the mookaka guy.

And then there's the abstenence only daughter who got knocked up. This is just another example of the hypocracy from the right. Don't preach about legislating morality when you have none yourself. That was your own fault.

And no one told McCain's team to bad mouth Palin. Or hide her from the media. You guys wanted to run someone and literally hide her from the press until after election day? **** that!

You asked for it by picking her. Now, pick her again, please! :eusa_pray:
 
Palin.......don't go away mad, just go away *****!

Most of the shit the right cries about, was done by people like me on message boards. You can't blame the press for those things.

Or the right put out the complaints to try and get her simpathy. No one was even commmenting on her pregnant kid and then the GOP tried to make it an issue. Almost like they HOPED we would pick on her daughter.

And Letterman was after the election, yet they'll cry like it was before.

4. "Well, let's see. There's ― of course in the great history of America there have been rulings that there's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So, you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but ―" --Sarah Palin, unable to name a Supreme Court decision she disagreed with other than Roe vs. Wade, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008 (Watch video clip)

9. "If [the media] convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations then I don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media." --Sarah Palin, getting First Amendment rights backwards while suggesting that criticism of her is unconstitutional, radio interview with WMAL-AM, Oct. 31, 2008

Hmmm...it's funny to me how 3/4 of the way through the presidential campaign, most liberals didn't even recognize her position as governor. They were still ranting about her lack of experience as a mayor "in some little Alaskan town." Not sure I understand why there's so much stir about this. She's got plenty she can accomplish without holding office. I don't see her running for senate. Maybe she will surprise us with a run. But I doubt she's willing to put her family in the line of fire again anytime soon. Because of all the negative media, she had become ineffective as governor of Alaska. I think she did the right thing if she plans to leave politics altogether.

You sir, have to be one of the finer examples of stupid assed Texas redneck that I've seen in a while.

Kudos sir. You're a bigger turkey than the ones that run around in Palo Duro canyon!
 
15th post
I say let her run for president...it will only insure another 4 years of Obama or some other democrat, she was the nail in McCain's coffin and she will be the nail in her own coffin!

Yeah...

ROFL... NO? Well I expect that she'll help Alaskans in substantially larger ways by unseating anti-Americans in the US Federal Legislature and as the President of the US, than your flaccid little conclusion otherwise projects.




Willows perspective has no bearing on whether the move was good or not. It is her perspective; what's more you've offered NOTHING which would so much as contest Willows perspective, let alone discredit it.

If you're goal is to do so, I suggest you cite that perspective and speak to it directly, instead of this vague reference, and this broad rejection of it.

It makes about as much sense as it did when McCain picked her. Couldn't even beat a black guy.

ROFLMNAO... It is hysterical to watch those who have demonstrated themselves to be VOID of any sense of sense, to speak that that which they feel doesn't 'make sense'... but to conclude with a statement which rests in UNBRIDLED RACISM, well that is just PRECIOUS...

She quit being governor or she quit "one facet".

The job of Governor was one facet of what she sees as her job, as a leader.

She quit that facet; for the reasons she stated... all of which were intellectually sound and despite the perspective you and the gals want to sling on that decision; actually shows a substantial amount of personal character; not to mention the faith and confidence she has in those she leaves to do that job...

You're entitled to rationalize around her stated reasoning; but you're not entitled to do so without those who disagree with that rationalization, contesting it...

I think...
Perhaps, but you provide so very little evidence of it... that I tend to doubt that you do much thinking, if any; your arguments tend towards the irrational and I've never read a single position which you've offered, wherein a sound basis in reasoning is present. As a general rule; where thought is being applied; a well reasoned, logically valid argument is present; and its usually one which rests on a sound intellectual basis.

With you... not so much...

Did Reagan have to quit being the governor of California to run? Did Bush quit being the Texas Governor? Did McCain quit to run? Hillary? Maybe you can show a past president who quit their job in order to run. Giving one example would go a long way in showing that this isn't a huge ******* red flag.

Golly... lets see; First you assert the false premise that 'Palin had to quit'... Being false it's invalid reasoning; Second, setting that first fatal flaw aside; your premise suggests that those individuals you listed, held on to what they had; and did not relinquish the security of that position before taking on the challenge of a 'higher calling;' and that this represents a higher level of personal courage or character... and third, you desperately need to project that Palin's setting aside her Governorship was for reasons other than those she stated; now if you have tangible evidence to sustain that implication, post it; or concede by default that you know this to be false and are overtly attempting to deceive this forum through that projection, by your failure to do so.

And fourth, in all of that you misreprsent the facts... and try to correlate circumstances which are not conducive to such. Reagan ran for president as Governor of California in 68... He was not Governor of California in 76 or 80, when he came to the Federal executive in a landslide victory.

She can't be the leader of the free world if she can't handle being governor and raise her kids, even when most of them are adults.

A silly-assed quip of no substantive basis... No where has Palin proved that she 'can't handle' being Governor; to the contrary; she has been one of the most effective governors in Alaska's history and if you'd like to argue that... bring it.

And I work with people who's kids are serving in Iraq, and they still come to work every day.

Good for you... if only there was a purpose of that flaccid point of irrelevance.

If she can't be Governor because of problems, then she certainly can't be the President.

ROFL... again you project that she resigned because of problems SHE WAS ENDURING... when her statement in resigning CLEARLY, unambiguously demonstrates that her reasoning was based upon the problems that her presence was causing HER STATE.

Now again, IF YOU HAVE EVIDENCE WHICH SUSTAINS YOUR IMPLICATION ThAT SHE QUIT BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T HANDLE THE STRESS... POST IT! Or concede by default that you HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE and that as a result your position is little more than impotent, BASELESS CONJECTURE... through your failure to post that evidence.

I'll be monitoring your progress... best of luck to ya.



And before I hit submit, I just want to point out that how you write is very elitest. Here is an example. You wrote: to speak that which they feel. Who talks that way?

So it's elitists to speak in proper english and not end one's sentences on a preposition...

What's funny about that, is when you speak you come off as a DUMBASS... Dumbass.

Does that sound elitist to ya?

So... what? You didn't find a need to humiliate yourself through an attempted response to that position?

LOL... Hey I can't blame ya... you're carrying quite a lump of crap on that bruised self esteem as it is... so don't sweat it; you're doin' the best you can, God blessya.
