McDonnell; Brown; Palin; Santorum; Petraeus- All Telegenic Presidential Candidates But Not...

April 09th 2010

[Steelfish]

Bob McDonnell; Scott Brown; Sarah Palin; Rick Santorum; Petraeus - All Telegenic Presidential Candidates. OUT: Newt Gingrich; Haley Barbour; Pawlenty. It is critical that the next Republican candidate for president not only be a true conservative but one who can project a telegenic image to sway voters to pull the lever for them. The outcome of the presidential election of 2012 will either result in the signing of this nation's death warrant with an Obama re-election or trail-blaze a path to a miraculous political resurrection. With this being the case we simply cannot have our blinders on regarding the crucial issue of telemetrics no matter how articulate or informed the candidate is. Of course these qualities are essential but in the end "image" matters because it is how a candidate "connects" with the voting masses.

I fear she is going to be a great disappointment to strong conservatives...and an eventual embarrassment to us Alaskans. Despite her recent speeches which might cause one to think otherwise, she is NOT the great conservative many think she is.

Ah, come on, this is too easy.

Please, pretty please, provide just a shred of substance, either facts or a train of logic to support your assertions!

Boy, do you PDS Sufferers just make your group of posters look down-right silly!

[SoConPubbie]

She served for a short time as a governor before she resigned her first term and before achieving any real big conservative stuff. It is not about Actions for the cultists, it is about Words, Speeches, Buzzwords, Political Red Meat Rhetoric, and Fighting Words with the Liberal Media. And you wonder how Obama has his own cult on the left. The exact same thing is happening on the right with Palin cult.

So these three don't qualify as "any real big conservative stuff"?

1. Ethics Reform
2. Budget Reform - Cutting the cost of government and the total budget
3. Getting a new Contract with the Oil companies that forced them to either produce the oil or give up their leases, and getting more money back into the pockets of the citizens of Alaska.

[jveritas]

You means she taxed the oil companies more to give it as welfare for the people of Alaska? Ethics reform? Really meaningless and sound more of a big hyped word. Our ethics derive from the US Constitution and from States Constitutions we have enough ethics on the books but it is a matter of applying them.

Budget reform? Really? How much did she cut the budget from the previous governor budget? Anyway most of their budget is based on Federal tax payers money funds from the lower 48 states and taxes collected from the oil companies. If she is that conservatives she would have told the Federal government to greatly reduce the tax payers money sent to Alaska from the 48 states.

Go back in jveritas’s posting history and you will see a strong McCain supporter from early in the primaries. The dumping on Palin now for being a ‘quitter’ isn’t surprising. Bashing her for supporting McCain is, however, particularly disingenuous.

[jveritas]

I am not bashing her for supporting McCain. I am showing the hypocrisy of her cultists who hate McCain but yet give her all the excuses on why she is supporting him.

[SoConPubbie]

Well, FYI, she attempted to do just that when Obama and company, with McCain's help BTW, passed the bail-out.

She tried to return everything that had string's attached or was unconstitutional from her perspective.

[jveritas]

Really? When and how? Show me some links.

[SoConPubbie]

That's right, now I remember, you were a big-time McCain supporter.

So what gives jveritas?

[jveritas]

Nothing gives. I am not bashing her for supporting McCain I am just showing the utter hypocrisy of her cultists who hate McCain but yet want to find every excuse on why she is supporting him.

[SoConPubbie]

Really? When and how? Show me some links.

All you had to do was listen to her speech at the SLRC. I believe she addressed it there.

But give me a minute and I'll dig up some links.

[SoConPubbie]

And another example of hyperbole!

Here you go: Palin Rejects Bailout Funds to the State of Alaska

Of course the Democrats, and some Republican joined forces to override her and accept the money.

Did you ever read the details concerning the bill she got passed?

Seems pretty big stuff to me, but then who am I but some crazed Jim Jones-like Palin Cultist!

Seems like pretty basic stuff, and I doubt they would have passed it if it already existed, but then again, I am just some crazed Jim Jones-like Palin Cultist!

I agree completely. Obama probably will not run for a second term, and if so, another equally repulsive communist will bear his torch.

The only ones who can win against him (or his replacement) will be from among those constitutional conservatives who are recognized to have opposed this communist takeover at every twist and turn, and have the charisma to raise money and supporters sufficient to win. The short list :

1. Sarah Palin
2. Michele Bachmann
3. Jim DeMint, maybe
4. ... time is quickly running out for any others who wish to join the list ...

We are fully into a Crisis Era, a battle for the life of the nation. Those "safe, boring" candidates of the RINO variety who have strong appeal during an Awakening or Unraveling will be tossed aside during a Crisis.

For a different analogy: When caught in a rip current, you can survive by swimming parallel to the shore, hoping the current eventually lets you surface, thus letting the incoming surface waves push you closer to shore. These occasional mild rip currents are comparable to the normal ups and downs of the economic and political cycles between one Crisis Era and another.

Once in a lifetime, when the rip current is powerful enough to hold you under until it carries you through the break in the sandbar and far out into the deeper water, you might eventually be able to surface and accurately assess your situation, only to find that your current location is far, far from shore.

You will be too tired and beaten to make it back to shore alone. Swimming parallel to the shore from this position will only keep you in the deeper water where you will eventually drown.

RINOs will keep telling you to swim parallel to the shoreline, because nothing in their experience or knowledge has prepared them for the stronger type of rip current (the Crisis Era), and they lack the natural instincts that might allow them to adapt in time to save you. However well-intentioned they might be, following their advice will result in your death.

Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann recognize the seriousness of our situation, and they are rallying the people and resources needed for a rescue.

[jveritas]

OH please Parnell: Palin didn’t 'reject' the stimulus money

She said the same about the bridge to nowhere but yet ended up taking hundreds of millions of dollars for this stupid project. Also she may have well resigned before any of the welfare money from the Pokulus bill was sent to Alaska. Show me where she as a Governor signed a paper actually rejecting the money sent to her from the Porkulus/Welfare bill. Oh wait, she talked about rejecting it (words, words, words) but did she resign before the money was sent to Alaska?

[ansel12]

jveritas is a hard core McCainiac that thinks that conservatives are too far to the right to win elections, Romney was his second choice.

[SoConPubbie]

You means she taxed the oil companies more to give it as welfare for the people of Alaska?

No, she set it up so that the State of Alaska charged the Oil Companies for the use of State Land which belonged to it's owners, the people of Alaska.

And as every good citizen of the US knows who is not a communist chulkle-head, Capitalism 101 states that those who own a property can lease it out for a fee, and that fee can be structured however contract law allows it to be structured legally.

So she, acting as the citizens of Alaska's chief agent, as Governor, negotiated a contract between the Oil Companies and the Citizens of Alaska whereby for the usage of their land by the Oil Companies, the citizens would be rewarded.

BTW, this Contract also added some teeth that never existed before with the dealings with the Oil Companies, it forced them to either produce oil, and therefor revenue for the citizens pockets, or give up the lease.

Because, you see, the Oil Companies would get the Leases and then sit on them trying to drive the price of oil up and in this scenario, the citizens got nothing.

Nice spin though jveritas, I give you an A for effort, but an F for results.

[jveritas]

Hardcore Mccaniac? Not by a long shot. He was the nominee in 2008 and I supported him. I would have supported anyone against Obama.

Anyway when you Palin cultists lose an argument which you do all the time because you are stuck in a delusional word you shift the subject to something totally irrelevant thinking that you won. Your "half governor" is a quitter and she is not going to be President and not even the nominee.

[jveritas]

She continued the same policies of taxing the oil company for welfare distribution in Alaska, that is a fact that no one can refute. As I said the majority of Alaska revenues come from Federal government aids i.e. tax payers money from the lower 48 states and from taxes on the oil companies. That is not conservative or capitalist by any stretch.

[SoConPubbie]

OH please

Oh, please yourself.

Once again, you post something not even having read OR LISTENED to everything that was said.

Try actually listening to the second embedded video.

As I had already pointed out, she rejected part of it, not all of it.

As usual, as a PDS Sufferer, you throw out the facts that don't suit your diatribe.
