You have trouble following things with context don’t you? I used your startup date not try to “clain that I understand what I am talking about” (Your words and they don’t make a lot of sense), but to make it clear that you’re in absolutely no position whatsoever to judge me here. I have a posting history in the thousands, and I’m certainly no liberal.

You’re torqued off because I don’t like your girl Sarah. Admit it and move on.

I sense that you do a lot of compensating as well as lashing out at that which you don’t comprehend. What’s up?

That RINOvirus takes a toll on your immune system.

That's when the Socialist plague, spread by Rats, moves in and takes over.

How else do we explain all the Hillary trolls on FR?

PUMAs still licking their wounds from the rat primary?

Offending stupid people since 1963

Looking in the mirror lately......??

Cause...if you can't see the appeal of Palin as a conservative regular non-Washingtonian politician American...you are stupid.

Sorry...but that's how I see it.

Palin may be a nice woman. She is certainly an ideologically pure conservative. But she is simply not qualified to be Vice President - and pointing to Obama's lack of qualifications doesn't make her more qualified. It just makes both tickets bad.

Before he became vice president, Harry Truman served less than two terms in the Senate after having been a judge--and he never even attended college. Was he unqualified to be vice president, let alone president?

By the way, Sarah Palin has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined.

Fair enough. I suppose that makes us even, so there is little more to discuss.

[Fiji Hill]

Moron. I am not now, nor have I ever been a liberal. The only test that counts, I score 100% on. I voted for Reagan, Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush.

So you're not a liberal? Given the enthusiasm with which you trash Sarah Palin, you certainly had me fooled.

If you keep operating from the faulty premise that all conservatives are as enamored by Sarah Palin as you are, you'll continue to reach faulty conclusions as often as not.

Ha!!.......

We aren't even, cause I am not blind.

FWIW-

I admire Sarah Palin for her firm grounding in conservative principles, her ability to articulate those principles, and her proven track record as an effective administrator. A cursory perusal of conservative electronic and print media would likely indicate that most conservatives share my view.

FR is a conservative forum, not a McCainiac-Republicrat organ. On the upside, all the Hillary trolls should make for some good zotting after the election is over.

I don't know what you people see in her that reminds you of Reagan, but I don't see it.

How about that she gets it, for one?

That she echoes Reagan, verbatim, that government isn't the solution, it's the problem?

How about that she radiates his same sunny optimism and moral focus?

How about that she drives the MSM ape$#!+?

How about that she goes right over their heads and speaks directly and effectively to and for the American people?

How about that (in fact) she actually practices her own principles more consistently than Reagan.

How's that, for starters?

[CommieCutter]

You know I fought all summer with a guy about McCain and I’m sick and tired of it. I’m not saying we didn’t know what we were getting with him, I just don’t have a choice with Osama running for President.

I don’t care for his past associations with Liberals, nor do I care how he has run his campaign. He’s a RINO that just happens to be a war hero.

I would have LOVED for him to be the Democrat candidate right now, because the Republicans could take the hit, and the country would still be safe.

Texas GDP dwarfs alaskas, and Texas has half a dozen cities with more population than Alaska. Yeah, Alaska has more frozen tundra.

Nonetheless, Alaska's nickname is "the Big State."--a title Texas can no longer claim.

[Fiji Hill]

Well, you're the one hailing a woman with a B.A. in Communcations from Idaho U. as the savior of the Republican Party.

I would argue that on the contrary, country-club elitists such as Willkie, Dewey, and Rockefeller have been the bane of the Republican Party.

[syriacus]

If Palin is a fatal cancer, the Left is the carcinogen.

They can mutate anyone.

[raybbr]

You can see the same trend in the popularity of conservative media figures like Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. They can repeat conservative slogans, but I doubt they could intelligently discuss most issues at a deeper level and explain why the conservative position actually makes more sense, and as a result they do little to convince anyone actually undecided on an issue.

Hannity's a dufus. I can see that you don't listen to Beck. He has very good guests on and even hen understands what's going on.

Of course, one can never expect anyone but a NYer to be very worldly. We all know that west of the Hudson people's IQ's just don't match up.

Just saw your post. Thunderous applause!

Cheers!
