But if not, then you're just plain, garden variety incorrect.
The MSM is *lying* -- about Palin, about Obama, about everything.
It's desperation time for them: Obaba was supposed to be their ace in the hole, their Messiah, who would sweep in the glorious progressive future.
Remember? "This was the moment the planet began to heal."
The Nobel Peace Prize...for literally NOTHING.
He passed healthcare.
He was going to restore the economy.
He was going to repair America's damaged reputation in the world after the cowboy antics of Chimpy Bushitler.
And all the rest.
When dealing with liberals, you have to remember two things.
One. They're governed by emotions and utopian thinking, rather than logic and reality.
Two. They lie -- to themselves, and to all others. And they are so narcissistic, so childish, that when what they say does not match reality, it is reality which is untrue.
And so they project all of their own hatred, all of their own misogyny, all of their racism, greed, lust, anger, and the rest, onto conservatives.
Just a couple of pithy examples, once the principle is established you'll be able to recognize the pattern for yourself.
Rosalyn Carter said of Ronald Reagan, "He makes us comfortable with with our prejudices." [Americans, especially liberals who otherwise know better]
...but it was her husband, Jimmy Dhimmi Carter, who consorted with Arafat and Hamas.
In the aftermath of the Jared Loughner shooting in Tucson, the meme (launched within hours of the shooting) was that Sarah Palin had enabled a "climate of hate" with her extremist rhetoric and bulls-eyes on maps of "targeted" Congressional districts, and Loughner was an unstable, easily motivated right-winger.
Then, when the facts came out, that Loughner was a literal nutcase who had been thrown off campus as a threat, that he had been reported to the Sheriff's Office (Sheriff Dupnik, who was one of the main sources blaming Palin in public, while admitting he had not evidence)...but that the Sheriff had done nothing since one of Loughner's relatives was a politically connected County employee?
Sarah Palin made a brief video about this (despite having had her phone ringing off the hook for days, by reporters asking for her take on it.) -- in which she spent mabye two or three sentences out of a seven-minute video talking about how people blamed her --
and the response was "How dare she make herself the center of attention, and offend the JOOOOOOOOOS by using the term 'blood libel' !"
...and then there was the memorial rally in Tucson, where one of the unions passed out "Together We Thrive" T-shirts.
Can you recall ANYWHERE else in recorded history where anyone EVER passed out T-shirts AT A FREAKING FUNERAL??!!!
...but that was quietly passed over in favor of generating controversy over Palin.
Yes, that was a long example, but it was necessary -- to show the kind of personally destructive, over-the-top-more-so-than-Bush vicious HATRED towards Palin which is being pumped 24x7.
And that is important for two reasons.
Actually, three.
The first one is an illustration of why she can win.
WTF?
Yes, win.
The reason this is true is -- why are they still attacking her? She's not even governor of a two-bit state anymore; she's a freaking housewife with five children, not on the government payroll; she is no in a powerful appointed position in DC; she was at the bottom of a losing Presidential ticket. Nobody had a nationwide campaign of hate against Dan Quayle (despite the Murphy Brown single motherhood fracas, which history proved him right about) once he left DC; nobody trashed Dole and Kemp after they lost to Bill Clinton; even Reagan was rehabilitated after a fashion by the time of his funeral.(*)
The second reason is that -- if Palin is so passé (since Palin is a woman, maybe that should be passée?) -- if she is, then why does she have two New York Times bestsellers? Why did she have a cable-TV show which drew five million viewers its first episode? (Take that, MSNBC!) Why is she *still* drawing enthusiastic crowds when she goes to speak, and why was she given an audience with Netanyahu in Israel? BTW, Bibi has a Masters' from the Sloan School of Management at MIT. Since Sarah is a private citizen, he didn't owe her recognition -- and if you look at the photos, I don't see any contempt for her in his eyes, on his face, or within his body posture.
And the third reason is -- Palin is an embodiment of the American "can-do" spirit: she started out as a housewife, and rose through the ranks of the school board, City Council, Mayor, Governor, and Vice Presidential Candidate. She is the antithesis of both the "my turn" party hacks like Dole, and the over-credentialed dorm-room theorists like Obama. This is EXACTLY what people say they want, instead of the overly slick politicians we keep on getting.
And she loves America, too. It's written all over her face, it comes out in her voice every time she speaks.
And one last thing: it is not that there is a fawning crowd of Palin *worshipers* here. It is that decent people are standing up to defend a decent, personable, courageous, patriotic fellow citizen from the politics of personal destruction, dished out by East Coast sycophants and a mob of hateful, deranged vermin who are unworthy even to lick Levi Johnston's soiled jockstrap clean. (Is that you, Bill Maher? Andrew Sullivan? Letterman making jokes about Palin's daughter suffering statutory rape by a professional athlete? SNL implying incest in the Palin Household in a skit?)
Incidentally -- the last three lines of your post are a real study in cognitive dissonance: and in such a way they tend to substantiate my view of you as a troll.
"What we need is a REAL conservative who can beat Obama. "
Sarah IS a real conservative: pro-life, lived out by having to support a "burdensome, poor quality of life" special-needs child, not armchair theorizing, she put her money, her time, and her life where her mouth is.
Strong on defense.
Supporting energy independence, and according to her own book, Going Rogue she is consciously, explicitly adopting strategies and techniques from Ronald Reagan.
A fiscal conservative.
One who wants real energy independence: unlike the lip service paid by candidates since Dhimmi Jimmy Carter.
"Not who you like .. not who you think would be good."
Why SHOULDN'T I support someone I like, someone I think should be good? Maybe I should let Frum and Karl Rove choose for me? Oh, that's right. In America, ANYONE can grow up to be President, as long as they went to Harvard, Yale, or Princeton?
"It comes down to picking our own leader, not who the MSM is telling us we need to pick from."
Are you going to stand there with a straight face, and try to hold your head erect among honorable human beings, and suggest it is the *MSM* who is telling us that we need to pick Palin? Are you out of your f*rnicating MIND???!!!!!
Cheers!
(clears throat)
...if I *do* say so myself.
Cheers!
You know what, you just rambled on and on and on.
I have nothing against palin .. i think that she would make a great president. I believe her heart is in the right place.
i know she draws conservative crowds in all over the place.
But the left hate her and the independents make their decision in the last 2 - 72 hours before voting or less.
they will go with what they heard last. which is going to be msm bashing and hard. It is going to stick with them that she was the target in 2008 as well.
As far as the troll statement, knock it off and get someone to water you .. because with your ability to assimilate information you probably need it. (again, why I do not agree with your three reasons why she woudl win you are clueless when it comes to reading people)
you tear down my statement
“What we need is a REAL conservative who can beat Obama. “
>Sarah IS a real conservative:< blah blah blah blah ...
that statement had NOTHING to do with her. It was about any other candidate - especially ones that were not on the list of the people to vote for in that stupid poll that is being shoved down our throats that we are being expected to pick from.
I stood up and said, none of the above .. BECAUSE I believe in my tagline. You on the other hand, just take what you are given and go merrily on your way thinking it will all be alright. Well it won’t. We will end up with another four years of Obama with your thinking, the whole time you will whine how great Sarah would have been (even though she most likely will not even run!)
then you go to call me dishonorable by making this statement.
>Are you going to stand there with a straight face, and try to hold your head erect among honorable human beings,<
Pal, has she even started a exploratory comity yet? NO, she hasn’t. She .. if you have followed her at all, has said that she prefers to stay out of the presidential race. That she wants to help orchestrate on the back end.
So while you pine away for something that will never happen you insult people who are trying to get rid of Obama with our best chance for a president who can bring us back to a republic.
Now who is the TROLL? That would be YOU.
