Sorry, you and Sam did hijack the thread (the thread is about Newt, not Palin), and you do sound like old wives.
Nothing personal there at all, I even apologized to old wives....

'Shark, you appear to have what is known as a 'convenient memory' (aka a 'Mafia Memory), and with that in mind, I direct you to posts #4, 6, 9, 12, 16 and 24 for starters, and make note that it was neither Sam nor I who made those posts, but OTHER FReepers who didn't get your memo about "the thread is about Newt, not Palin", and in fact you responded to post #6 (YOUR post #7), and those posts were made long before Sam or myself came along.

Perhaps you might want to distribute a second copy of that memo since it seems not everyone got the message.

The earlier posts about Palin, were quick and fairly innocuous. Jeff Head mentioned her in his post, and I mentioned her back (from the posted article) to him. Neither of us made her the center of the thread.

The two of you took it to a whole new level, and yes you did hijack the thread, making it about some old grudge you both hold concerning Sarah Palin.

I really don't care to keep this up, doubt I will respond if you do, but you need to reconsider what you did, and try to keep it a bit lighter if you would. Sarah Palin is hardly the enemy of conservatism, the kind of animosity you hold might be better reserved for some genuine enemy of our way of life.

Fwiw, I think you are being heavily bested by the poster you are so heatedly debating, keeping this thread alive with your posts.
