He has some close calls, one day JR changed the name of his thread that Bob J was bragging about in this thread, the one that he says makes him more popular among freepers, (a kind of liberals folk hero)
The anti conservative Bob J's near opus

The anti conservative Bob J's near opus
Bob J has raised interesting and valid points.
Unfortunately, SOME (but not all) Palin supporters--not necessarily any of y'all--are sticking their fingers in their ears, closing their eyes, and yelling "nyah! nyah! not true!," figuratively speaking.
When one gives aid and comfort to the enemy, usually one is thus considered a traitor, or at least, one's loyalty to principles and to the cause is generally questioned.
Remember, blind loyalty in the face of facts makes one naught but a mere follower, rather than a leader or at least a competent manager, two qualities that are becoming of a "good" President and "chief executive officer" of the United States.
Now, if she is seeking ultimately to run for further public office, then she is either blindly loyal to McCain, actually agrees with him, and/or is just being a shrewd and cunning politician. As a holder of conservatarian beliefs, I believe that none of the three cases work out to her advantage; our elected officials should not be merely power-hungry and ambitious people but humble servants and citizens who step up to serve their fellow Americans because it is the right thing to do.
However, if she is not seeking ultimately to run for further public office but rather seeking to promote the conservative cause, supporting a man who has willfully dealt immense and horrific damage to the conservative cause in his twenty odd years spent here in the Federal district is nonsensical, to say the least.
Watching the tortured and hypocritical defenses that SOME Palin supporters--not necessarily any of y'all--put up is somewhat comical but just plain sad, especially considering that SOME of them were so quick to rush to attack one Mark Sanford for going "hiking in the Appalachians" last year. (Nevermind the fact that infidelity in marriage, though disgusting, is not necessarily an indicator of "bad" future political performance; case in point was one Benjamin Franklin, who was a notorious womanizer abroad and yet managed to serve the United States capably and competently at the same time.) Hold her to the same standard as every other political celebrity (yes, if DeMint endorses Romney again, I will be among the first to publicly repudiate him).
That was a GREAT post by Bob J, but you left out #8 :”She has good legs”
That thread was not locked and Bob j is still here.
