Aw, honey, what you don’t know could fill a large continent. Ann fell for a hot Socialist stud with good hair and it clouded all reason and judgment. Sorta like you.

There is nothing flip-flopping about realizing that you were wrong. You want to win back your country or not? Then keep repeating that people who realize that they were wrong are nothing more then sleazy flip floppers. With that attitude, the conservative base will continue to shrink as they die off. Don’t expect to convert anyone with that kind of judgemental rhetoric. Expect your country to be taken over by despots as lost people are driven into their arms by the intolerance of the likes of you.

Try SAM-e.

Then here’s another contrast. Neo-Con propaganda machine Fox News practically ignored Romney after the early days when it was just him and Rudy. They ignored Romney just like they ignored Tancredo, Hunter, Thompson after his first week, and yes, Ron Paul.

Meanwhile, there was no bigger cheerleader for John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, and Mike Huckabee than Fox News. Well, except maybe Michael Medved. Put 2 and 2 together.

Dude, there’s about 1 McCain “troll” on FR, and he is very favorable towards the Massachusetts Socialist. You’re making yourself look like an ass repeating this pro-Slick Willard pablum. Enough already. I’m fed up with that party-destroying parasite and his paid bots.

And I’ll repeat again for your information, I have NO use for Juan, and have openly asked for his resignation from the Senate. Most Slick Willard exposers on FR also have little use for McCain. I cast my vote SOLELY because of Palin.

You and your sleazy, flipflopping, lying, bribing, Socialist, backstabbing, party-destroying pig can go get stuffed. We’re taking this party back from YOU sexist liberal elite trolls. Deal with it.

They ignored Slick Willard ? Well, at least they got one thing right. Too bad they were in the bag for his False Messiah cousin from Kenya. What a powerhouse those two Socialist whores would’ve made, drawing together the most psychotic, unhinged, idol-worshipping moonbats this side of Mars.

You are completely demented over Governor Palin and it shows.

Your really need to look at reality. The Governor garnered a tremendous interest in the McCain ticket that would not have happened with the other obvious picks....including Mitt.

She drew huge crowds of enthusiastic voters.. but I must say the McCain side of the ticket was a REAL drag.

McCain has sold out conservatives too many times to gain their trust in this election. He waffled back and forth even DURING the election and did not show determination in the face of the economic melt down.

He appeared 'afraid' to debate Obama when he tried to cancel the first debate.

For the so called seasoned veteran he acted like a scared little schoolboy. His campaign made decisions that were detrimental to Palin, but she has taken the attacks "like a man" (more so than ANY man in this race took ANY attack levied at them or their family).

I voted for Mitt in the primary out of a LACK of anyone else to vote for... not because I felt he was the best we could offer for POTUS. I was surprised at the complete lack of support by those candidates who did not win the nomination and were not selected as Veep nominee for their own party's ticket. This lack of unity gave us Obama... not the selection of Governor Palin.

Your criticism of Palin is over the top and unbecoming of a conservative Republican. The very fact that you use the drive by media mis-characterizations of Governor Palin shows your utter contempt.

Come on, you're being too kind. Tell us about how Mitt causes global warming, eats raw kittens for breakfast and brought Hitler to power before he was even born.

Heck, everyone knows about that stuff...

I don’t read the liberal newspapers or watch the liberal news. These were my own observations, So you just happened upon the receipts from McCain's campaign regarding the supposed Palin wardrobe? Gee... when Mitt comes to your house next week for Thanksgiving do you call him brother, uncle, cousin or daddy?

Look, I don’t even really care about Romney now. I just don’t want the same mistake made as last time when everyone voted for McCain and Huckabee because Romney governed a uber-liberal state. Now we have a legit socialist in office because of those votes. I hold those voters personally responsible for what we now have.

We should have nominated the guy that was willing to say all the right things to us and had the immediate capital to back it up. Instead we shunned him in favor of people who both said and did mostly wrong things(Huck and McSchmuck).

Um, I always find it amusing when people make the ludicrous comment that because a state is “liberal” (Dem majority) they MUST govern like a liberal. Rhode Island is more Dem than MA, yet it manages to have a pro-life Conservative GOP Governor. He must not have gotten the message that he must be a Socialist. Conversely, we have many rodent Governors in GOP states. Does THAT mean they govern like Conservatives ?

Nope, fact is, aside from Fred (and Duncan Hunter), there were no Conservatives who ran for President. Just a bunch of party-destroying Socialist weasels with egos the size of mountains who accomplished nothing. Huckster, Slick Willard, Juan, Rudy (though he did cut crime ! But still a Social lib on nearly everything else)... Felliniesque midgets. Our best Governors, Senators, Congressmembers, activists, business leaders... they all took a pass on 2008. After seeing what the media did to Fred and the Palin family, it’s hard to blame them. Nobody wants to have a media gynecological expedition up your teenage daughter’s privates.

What’s personal attacks? Isn’t she claiming to be a conservative but living a feminist live style? I see that by accusing me of personally attacking Palin, you are trying to get me kicked off this forum. When you call Mitt sleazy that is not personal? He is a conservative. He used to not be as conservative. That doesn’t make him sleazy. But it does make you guilty of a personal attack. Please don’t try to twist things and make it look like I am making a personal attack by stating the obvious that Palin is more ambitious feminist then conservative. That’s not personal, she is a public figure. I understand where you are coming from. You are attempting to have people banned from this forum by accusing them of personal attacks against political figures. You are the one who does the personal attacks by calling me a troll. I am not. Read my posts.

I heard about it on Fox News. I put two and two together. I am not blaming Palin, I accept that the clothes just showed up, but what it demonstrated to me is that McCain saw her as another gimmick. He knew she wasn’t qualified but was marketing her for her feminine appeal. It made me realize that she really wasn’t qualified, that in fact, her being inarticulate was no coincidence, she really wasn’t qualified, and they knew it. I don’t like being played. We were played.

You put 2 + 2 together: "McCain saw her as another gimmick. He knew she wasn’t qualified but was marketing her for her feminine appeal." ????

She is the Governor of the state of Alaska. She has a record that is quite impressive. A record achieved before her involvement with the McInsane campaign. BUT...

even so... you put 2 and 2 together and decided she is just a sex object that was enlisted for her "feminine appeal"?

What in the world are you smokin' girl????

You hate Palin. You probably hate that her son wears the uniform, something which no member of the Slick Willard clan has EVER put on in generations (to them, military service is for peasants, doncha know ?). You repeat liberal talking points. You worship a Socialist fraud. You’re a sexist who believes women ought to be at home, barefoot, pregnant and fixing supper for the men. Be seen and not heard. We get it. Now what are you doing on a CONSERVATIVE website ? Did you not read JimRob’s post ? Obviously not.

i assume you think she is some rabid feminist because she works? did she neglect her children? no. did she drop them off at daycare? no.
she has her kids there with her and breast fed baby trig all the while taking phone calls and attending to her tasks. she is there daily to meet piper when she gets off the school bus. i know stay at home moms that cant even manage that!
please explain how she is more feminist than conservative? she not only articulates conservative values well, she LIVES them. how rare is that?
dont like her, fine, we get that, but at least give some other reason than she is a clothes diva liberal talking point. the campaign bought them for her. she shops second hand in her day to day life.

Interesting how you use the word sexist. Rush said that there should be no compromises. That means you shouldn’t compromise and use liberal arguments to promote your agenda. It’s not sexist to state the obvious about Palin. If you are going to go there then lighten up about Mitt, because it seems like another double standard. Moderates are turned off by double standards, and you do need to recruit moderates to become conservative, you won’t do it by being dishonest. Sexist should not even be in a conservative person’s vocabulary. That’s just a code word to shut up those who you don’t agree with. It’s not sexist to point out that Palin is ambitious to the point where she neglects her infant. It’s the truth. What kind of a man has his woman working a full time career when she has a baby? Not a man in my way of seeing it. No conservative would even say that I am sexist for the view that I just stated. At least I am consistent, which is more then I can say for those who promote double standards. Mitt is a changed man, he knows he was wrong. That’s not a double standard, that’s life, now you deal with that.

You must hate the word SEXIST.

SEXIST

SEXIST

You are worse than any redneck man I ever had to deal with in my life girl. You show a smoldering hatred of women who have worked and achieved accomplishments in their lives. What is worse is you attack husbands who would support a wife's ambitions to achieve those goals. You would really hate my husband. 38 years of encouraging and supporting my career goals, our family and head cheerleader for the success of my business.

I had to put up with a lot of crap in my life from men in my business. I had to prove myself worthy of their respect. The crap I have taken from women in business has always been worse... they seek to totally destroy you, men aren't that vicious. I have always felt that in the end it was worth it, because my daughter and other young women will be able to benefit by traveling the path I helped to clear for them. BUT... you... you are an enigma to me. You hate women to the point that it must be difficult for you not to loathe yourself.
