Why did Palin name a pro-choice judge to the Alaska Supreme Court?[DU-like anti-Palin source]

Again, what principled conservative doesn’t step up and try to reform a process that leaves her with two liberal choices for the Supreme Court? Is there any evidence Palin did that?

[dirtboy]

Bachmann has spent more time in the House than Palin did as governor.

The House doesn't give one executive experience.

I said it on another thread: If you really believe Governor Palin was up to no good and everybody managed to keep it quiet through the last two and a half years of Palin media obsession until this idiot released his book, I want a chance to try to sell Little Diomede Island to you. Because if you really believe that, you’re probably stupid enough to give me good money for it.

What is it about "congresscritters don't get nominated by their party" don't you understand?

Just ask president Hunter about that, he got beat by "unsure" in several primaries, and never polled above 1% in any republican primary. He was a lot more experienced and qualified than Bachmann. You might want to think about that, but judging from your responses on this thread, that's going to be hard for you.

Why are you carrying water for the enemy?

Are you a “I like Sarah but...”er?

[Mr. Silverback]

It's past time you stopped throwing around insults in order to stifle legitimate debate on who the best CONSERVATIVE AND PRO-LIFER is for the job.

And as an unabashed conservative, a conception-to-natural-death pro-lifer and definitely NOT a member of the Church of Palin, I say it's way past time Palin's detractors stop posting obvious lies trumped up by obvious flaming liberals and then following it up with histrionic whining.

You don't think she's the right candidate Great. Make your case like a conservative instead of posting liberal claptrap any 8th grader would find suspicious.

*DISCOURAGEMNT TROLL*

Better for Palin to get this stuff out now when there's time enough to deal with it and turn it into "discredited old news".

This type of thing hits the press as a new/fresh story on the eve of a critical primary or before the general election (should she win the nomination) and it's going to be real problematic.

Compare/contrast two recent examples. In 2000 Bush's DUI hit right before the election and is probably the thing that cost him a popular vote win and helped muddy his victory. In 2004 there was the fake ANG memo which hit a little ways before the election - giving the opportunity to be rebutted and discredited.

Palin supporter and detractors alike should see the value in having her go through a hard fight to get the nomination. She'll get bloodied, but should learn from it. Damaging information on her will be promoted by various interests, but that means she can address it and get it behind her if she gets the nomination.

[Ol' Sparky]

You post pure liberal claptrap and then whine about being attacked?

No, complaining about being accused of being a Troll when I support candidates like Cain and Bachmann.

Certain people like you don't seem to get the fact that many conservatives favor more principled conservatives that have a better chance of winning than Palin.

Attacking the Queen is not the equivalent of not being conservative or being a troll.

[Ol' Sparky]

What is it about "congresscritters don't get nominated by their party" don't you understand?

Then, how did we end up with two of them winning the nomination of their parties in the last election?

[dirtboy]

You are not getting attacked for supporting Bachmann or Cain. Posters are disagreeing with you, just as you disagree with their choice of Palin.

What you are getting ripped for (and rightfully so) is your regurgitation of liberal crap to make your point. So stop your whining. You posted crap to make your point, you deserve the grief you are getting for such.

[dirtboy]

Then, how did we end up with two of them winning the nomination of their parties in the last election?

Senators, not congresscritters. And do you really think it was a good choice between the two of them?

[dirtboy]

Hammer, meet nail.

[Ol' Sparky]

Why are you carrying water for the enemy?

I'm carrying the water for conservatives candidates -- Cain, Bachmann, etc. -- that have a better chance of winning and don't have negative poll numbers over 50%.

[Mr. Silverback]

Attacking the Queen is not the equivalent of not being conservative or being a troll.

Posting discredited claptrap written and promoted by a collection of liberals without evaluating the validity of the sources is the equivalent of being a troll, because that's pretty much what trolls do. So, either you're trolling or you're sincere but don't belong in an adult conversation about this issue.

I say that as someone who is not supporting Palin for the nomination at this point.

[dirtboy]

Somehow, I doubt either Cain or Bachmann would agree with your tactic of posting a liberal attack blog post to trash Palin.

Try making the case for your choices instead of trying to tear down Palin with nonsense.

[Mr. Silverback]

Merci, mon ami.

So tell me honestly, if you can - if I went to some indy nutcase blog and found a crap post attacking Bachmann (and you know those are out there), and then posted that here on FR to try and tear Bachmann down as a means to make Palin seem like the right choice - what would your reaction be?
