Just talked with a good friend of mine, but sadly very liberal -- seems irreversible -- told her about the great reviews for The Undefeated, Sarah Palin documentary - her record in Alaska - and I tried to explain to her that she should at least get informed about Sarah before calling her the wilderness barbie.
She then said: OK so she did a great job in Alaska, but is she able to run all US states (in all fairness, she did not say 57..). These people have an answer for everything..darn! What would you say to that - besides telling her that she voted for the one who had so much experience..? I need help here with my liberal friends.
“Habit.
Hard to break.”
Now that I know you need help, I’ll do my very best to help you with your goal.
I try to help all of those afflicted with PDS..... it’s the right thing to do.
I quit drinking and I quit smoking, heck, I even quit burying bodies under my house... so I know you can do it.
Trust me, I’m not even with the government, but I’m still here to help you.
I’ll be voting for Sarah Palin, Liberty, our Constitution and American Exceptionalism.
Very true. If parents spent even a few min. every day talking about lib crap and teaching their kids to think critically, the problem would end itself over time.
This is exactly the reason that teaching kids ‘how’ to think was removed from the edu. system. Libs cannot abide their ‘authority’ and sacred cows being questioned.
Look at Orwell’s 1984 and what he wrote about Ingsoc and doublespeak. The very concept is being played out daily in schools and on TV through PC edicts and attitudes.
re: “And Piper has a firm eye on someone, and they are not going to get away with anything.”
And wouldn’t it be a hoot watching her grow up in the White House? :)
LOL - and don't forget the ridiculous head bob and palm out thing that accompanies that.
Gosh, it must take so much talent to be cool like that. :)
Sorry My Hands... post #56 was meant to go to americandream246
It is not the job of the president to run all 50 states. The States run themselves. It is the job of the president to run the Federal goverment which is limited constitutionally to protect the States.
It is not the job of the Federal Government to concern itself with the internal governance of the States. No one organization of men could ever competently govern a Federation so vast as this.
Then find out what she believes and why. Her beliefs are wrong. Start there.
Explain federalism to your friend. The president is not supposed to run any states, 50 or 57.

Well, now I live in Texas and have voted for Perry a few times, the first time being when he ran for Lt. Governor back in '94.
But if both Palin and Perry enter the race, Governor Palin will have my vote in the primary.
Perry tends to be very appealing and conservative when there's an election on the horizon. But he's done a few things that have been rather distasteful as well. I'm still pretty chapped about the in-state college tuition for illegals.
If he were to get the nomination, yes, I'd vote for him in the general.
But I think Palin is more conservative and less likely to cave in to the establishment in Washington.

I was just providing examples from both sides of Governors who became Presidents.
Don’t take this the wrong way because I think you are 100% correct. But when dealing with libs like this (if it has to be done at all) that concept is way beyond their ability to grasp.
I think you (generally speaking, not you personally) will be further ahead by giving them the raw emotional kind of arguments they are so used to. If you can get them with that, then introduce the factual things that are what really matter.
I think of it like dealing with children because in reality, that is their functional reasoning level.

>>I even quit burying bodies under my house... <<
A bridge too far for some of us... ;)
LOL
We ll have one or two on the list we could use help with.
They won;t give up on the hype and are gonna land us in chains
Um, actually, Ronald Reagan - the Desert Eagle (50 Cal handgun). ;-)
That sounds an awful lot like my wife. I’ve long since learned that there is no changing some tiger’s stripes.
Hear! Hear!
Perry's conservatism is a politician's conservatism in a conservative state. He is a conservative politician, not a conservative.
If Rick Perry lived in Massachusetts, he'd have been Mitt Romney.
