Words, words,.... and here are yours, not mine!!!
I do believe it is my duty to respect my fellow man I also believe that I fail that duty more often than I would like Here's to a constantly expended effort to do better
You have a point of view but you might want to read some of counterpoint’s recent posting history before you get into a lot of interaction with him and get drawn into his recent out of control behavior.
counterpunch,by & with his name explains his mission on freerepublic. He seems to relish the playing “Devils Advocate”. To post to him sooths his ego.
That never happens with Republicans. The GOP doesn’t pick unknowns. McCain, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush, Reagan, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, Nixon, Goldwater. Goldwater was the closest to being an unknown. W was somewhat unknown, but had the Bush name. Palin is the natural leader of the GOP right now.
After a day like that. to see you on here spewing out your anti Palin BS propaganda. I truly want to call you what you are. but I would be banned...
Perhaps she won’t run Aria. I wish her well either way, but this will be something she’ll have to deal with for a long time politically.
I realize she did some good things as Governor. That’s part of the reason why I supported her. As for the cost to Alaska, I’m not convinced that’s a good enough reason to step down.
Allowing someone to drive you from office, is not a reasoned thing to do. If you can take the heat for 30 months, you can see it out for 18 more.
Look, she can prepare to be President all she wants, but when it comes time to run she’s going to have to convince folks that attacks on her family (or anything else that comes along including nuclear incidents) wouldn’t cause her to step down again.
Well, if you’re going to give up the blood sport, then don’t come knocking to play on a much larger field with much bigger players.
I understand we won’t agree on this Aria. I do appreciate your reasoned objections. You take care.
Oh, OK. I will concede the final tally. 0bama won by 9.5 million. Still a small margin out of a total of 129.3 million.
But Biden didn’t bring in votes. 0bama was the star on that ticket.
Just as Sarah Palin was the star on the GOP ticket.
She was selected for the sole purpose of bringing out votes.
Not votes in one state, but vote of a particular ideological tilt.
She brought out those votes.
But there were less of those than there were votes for 0bama.
The concept is really not abstract. People vote for a candidate, not a campaign.
Usually that candidate is on the top of the ticket, but that’s not the case in the rare instance where the VP candidate is the one with all the support.
Sarah had all the supporters, not McCain.
Just as 0bama had all the supporters, not Biden.
0bama’s supporters outnumbered Sarah’s supporters.
What is so hard about that to understand?
I know it hurts to admit defeat, but this is the way it is.
Sarah doesn’t have as much support in America as 0bama does.
Levin generally knows what he's talking about.
His show is worth listening to today.
Sarah Palin is “going Galt”? I think not.
She’ll be the Champ in 2012, and she’ll deliver a lot of damaging punches before then.
You ought to read the account of the fates of the signers of the Declaration of Independence by Rush Limbaugh Sr. Many of them lost wives, sons, daughters, their whole families to the cause of freedom and liberty.
Sarah Palin is a type of "throwback" American, in that she has a spiritual connection to the Founders that is visible in everything she does. She truly gets America, like those who founded this country got it.
Sarah won't suffer the actual loss of her children because she takes up the fight for freedom in America. Yes, she (and they) have suffered tremendous insult and injury at the hands of degraded liberals, but these are very strong people. They're Palins. They will triumph in the end, because Sarah speaks the truth, and will rally all good Americans to the good fight ahead.
How many Democrats do you think Palin will draw in now? How many Independents do you think will be drawn in now?
Look folks, you can sit there and root for her all you like. I don’t think you’re going to find that people are going to be drawn to a person who allowed words and false ethics complaint drive her from office.
I’ve said it a number of times, how does this bode for her running for the Presidency or even winning the office? What happens then when criticisms, ethics complaints, and her children are the butt of jokes?
It’s not my opinion that counts. You’re going to have to deal with others on this matter.
Palin is the natural leader of the GOP right now.Not after resigning.
What hype? Besides, I thought you said that a VP doesn't win or lose an election. Make up your mind.
Do you realize how terrible some of the attacks on her family were ? Do you realize that it is like a fish hook in a moms heart when her daughters are insulted sexually ? and her disabled son.
gave a heart dude.. she needs time away from all of this.
and maybe we need to go track down some of the people who did this to her. they are not safe in my opinion.
I’m not abandoning hope until I see the next move. Once out of office, she’ll have the freedom to rip the Left a new one without having to worry about how it looks as governor or how it plays out in the beltway. She can just be herself and that might really be what makes her a better candidate.
However, she may also decide to take her ball and go home. And who could blame her with all the crap she’s had to take, not just from the nasty Left but from the RINO wing of her own party?
I’ll wait to see which direction she takes.
No, he said VPs don't win or lose elections. Except that Palin did. Except...
I think we're dealing with a mental patient not a troll. LOL
After a day like what?
Sarah Palin resigning?
So you admit that is a crushing defeat for her, not something to celebrate as a crafty manoeuvre and a start of something bigger and better, like her blind cult following is trying to claim?
ROFL, like that is going to happen! The boy has lost it, he has hijacked thread after thread with this sleazy babbling.
