To me, these things are believable...and demonstrate the culture-clash we're facing. Gov. Palin presented herself as an unintellectual, regular person...and perhaps that's true.
When Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) thinks that Neil Armstrong planted a flag on Mars, the Left doesn't bat an eye, while many on the Right point out how out of touch she is. So the question is, does the President need to have such knowledge?
I think the answer is yes, for both Congressmen and Presidents. I think we want someone who understands "average people," but that doesn't mean we want an average person in office.
So if this is all true, then I admit poor judgment, as I had been pushing for Gov. Palin for VP for a long time. And I think that perhaps she'd do well spending the next few years in prepping for the big time.
As governor, though...she's an Executive, not a Legislator, IMO.
Thanks to the Mac camp and Carl Cameron , the blame for the loss they give to Palin, when in fact, Mac would have lost by a landslide...if she had not been on the ticket.
Who drew the crowds? Who is the biggest threat to the libeal dems? Sarah Palin.
Well this one keeps getting altered? Last one said they showed up to her place... Maybe they should have called first!!!
I can't wait for the usual lord McCain supporter to post this is all a Bama/Alinsky set up!!
I'd suggest we thin the Mittbots from our midst ~ send them away into Outer Darkness (if that sort of thing is allowed).
For your information Wolf Blitzer, the original "hater" actually backed off every single accusation this evening. He had this blond gal on who doubled sourced denials and clearly indicated that the whole business here was baseless gossip by sociopathic political types, possibly even Democrats.
So, get down on your knees and pray for forgiveness.
Until we get names, I for one think that all these “accusations” are bs.
I will always stand by Palin, and any conservative leader. I’ve had enough of the idea of throwing our leaders under the bus for minuscule crap. That’s the way the left wants us to play. The left can go to hell.
Stand by our conservative leaders!
I hope names are being taken of Palin bashers within the party. They should never work a day on another campaign.
“Gov. Sarah Palin returned home in defeat to Wasilla, Alaska”
######
Unequivocally incorrect.
The moderate Democrat was defeated. Compassionate conservatism was defeated. Lukewarm, aisle-crossing, Republican elitism was defeated.
Sarah Palin remains singularly triumphant. She will be yet more triumphant in the future under the mantle of unobscured, true conservatism.
Someone should make a website and book on the topic of “what idiotic democrats think and do.”
Culture clash? We have a bunch of elitist Washington cocktail-party types who think they’re better than everyone else. And we have Mitt Romney trying to position himself for 2012.
These things are nowhere near believable. She didn’t know the NAFTA countries? They own an Alaskan fishing business that was directly affected by NAFTA. Of course she knows.
The bathrobe suddenly turned into a towel. I didn’t care then, don’t care now.
She doesn’t know Africa is a continent? Nonsense.
If you believe this crap, I have some waterfront property to sell you.
I thought it was a hotel robe. Now it’s a towel?
The tale gets more and more scandalous.
I despise these people.
We love you Sarah!!!
I’m boycotting all Palin-bashing articles from here on in.
Regular person, yes. Unintellectual, horse-hockey. She's intellectual. She's not an elitist snob which is what the elitist party snobs want her to be. And she can run circles around most of them in terms of common sense and knowledge about things that actually matter to most people.
The airheads in washington that spent an excessive number of years in our colleges haven't a clue about life in the real world. If time spent in the indoctrination center known as college is their measure of intellectualism, then an intellectual is an idiot.
Sorry, but I'm not gullible enough to accept any of this. Palin was set-up nicely by the Democrats and by a number of Quisling RINOs during the campaign. Understanding this, and understanding that she is now positioned to be a party leader -- especially if she campaigns for local Republicans in House and Senate races in 2010 -- the long knives are out.
Since no one has the courage to make these claims in broad daylight, it's fair to assume the people most likely to be making these statements are those with the most to lose from an ascendant Palin: either Romney or Huckabee supporters. Huckabee is unlikely because he didn't have access to the high-power consultants and beltway insiders in the same numbers or for nearly the same length of time as Romney. Furthermore, many of the "conservative" journos trashing Palin during the campaign were Romney supporters.
The rumor that Romney's people are behind these deprecations is out there. Those rumors are at least as credible as the rumors about Palin. I note that Palin has denied these reports for her part. Where is Mitt Romney? He is also a party leader with a prospective shot in 2012, and if he isn't culpable, it is long past time for him to step forward and denounce this backstabbing for the sake of the Party if no other reason. If he doesn't, I'll be inclined to find these reports as baseless, and Mr. Romney as a snake.
And whoever is sniping at Sarah is so ignorant that they don’t know that what’s a country or a continent, and the list of countries in North America is a matter of geography not of civics.
***”Wasilla hillbillies looting Nieman Marcus from coast-to-coast”***
This statement reveals all we need to know about those who are doing this. They are classless in a way that true hillbillies are not, and I come from a long line of West Virginia hillbillies and know a lot about the subject, lol!
It also says a lot about anyone who would report it as news - that means you Carl Cameron, BOR, and whoever else is involved.
Geez, for someone so shockingly ‘ignorant’ she more than held her own with the Vice President-elect of these United States in a 90 minute debate. I guess we’re supposed to give all the kudos to her debate prep team.
Cameron is a douchebag.
Doesn’t say a whole lot about Biden’s intellect....she cleaned his clock during the debate.
:-)
I’m a masochist so I’m going to read the article.
