Stop with the name calling. I haven’t called you a palinista cultist.
Being in a debate with Slow Joe isn’t the same thing as being in a debate with 7 other highly intelligent people. There is also a difference between a one on one debate and one with 8 people. There isn’t any time to flesh out the answers for the most part with the number of people on the stage.
The point I was making was that she had time to prep for the show as that is her current JOB. She has to be prepared for a more in depth discussion as that is the format of the show. It wasn’t a slam but a fact.
Debate skills aren’t the most important quality for a leader anyway. Newt wipes the floor with all of them but he would make a horrible POTUS.
LOL!! {^) You've got a point there! {^)
Though I still think Palin is perfectly capable of holding her own in a debate "with 7 other highly intelligent people" as well!
I’m not naive about how the game works, even for Sarah. She’s playing the same game just using different approach. Sarah is playing the “I’m not in the permanent political class” meme even though she’s been in politics for 20 years and the only reason she’s not in office now is due to being defeated by the DNC machine. It is what it is.
Then she needs to declare and get on stage with these candidates in order to prove herself if she’s running.
I have NO clue why he stated publicly last November he was NOT running for the office of president.There are many factors in deciding whether to, or not to, run. The "lay of the land," to borrow a phrase from Sarah, is probably the biggest one, and that has, IMO, dramatically changed since last year. I think many had planned to wait until 2016 to make a run at the presidency.
Whatever the politics are NO Perry supporter, can with a straight face accuse Sarah of lying and NOT have to carry a literal burden of their own candidate. Perry supporters want to trash and bash Sarah, have at it, but Perry walks around in chest waders when it comes to the character of truth telling.I learned the hard way to never get too emotionally attached to any political candidate. It saddens me to see so much friction between supporters of various candidates. I see it as a zero-sum game, nobody wins, except Zero (see my tag).
My biggest pet peeve is hearing somebody blame someone else for what happens in their own bubble, next, is to say well everybody else is doing it. AND to hear, well Ronald Reagan was a democrat tooo..... Perry should have been schooled by the example Ronald Reagan set, but NOT even until the political landscape in Texas change did Perry change.FWIW, from doing my own research, I believe that Rick Perry was a conservative Reagan Democrat that switched parties. The operative word is conservative. I like Sarah Palin a lot. I refrain from bashing candidates and supporters.
LOL. Here's a pic.
Until today, I don't think I have ever seen you here before. I don't recall directly my comments to you, either. If the description does not apply to you, feel free to ignore it.
Did I really need to add the /sarcasm tag?
Actually my only problem with this is that her supporters keep saying she has already decided to run. Fox News has already made clear that they will suspend any of their commentators that are running for any office, in order to prevent a conflict of interest. (They already suspended Santorum and Gingrich before they actually started campaigning.) If she has decided to run, and is publicly saying she has not decided in order to keep getting a paycheck, that is dishonest and unethical. I could care less if the amount is $1 or $1 million. If she is lying for money, what else will she lie for?
Of course, it is possible that she really hasn't decided. But if that is the case, then people really shouldn't get upset when other people call her indecisive.
It is the only strategy. Pick your candidate now, work your ass off in the primary. Then after that, put your big boy pants on and do what you can to defeat Obama.
When you talk about "her supporters," you're talking about me, so when you make false accusations against me, as it were, why do you advise that I ignore them? It may be good advice, true, but ... better advice is to recognize that you're talking about some Palin supporters, and therefore the gripes you have against them you really have kind of a responsibility to represent truthfully -- as being against particular Palin supporters, not All Palin Supporters Everywhere.
I TRY (though sometimes fail) to qualify "some" Perry supporters when I post about things I think certain Perry-support posters have wrong, and which reflect poorly on their thinking and potentially, on their candidate. When I forget to put the "some" in front of it, I'm riled at myself, because the TRUTH is that there are smart, classy, savvy Perry supporters, and there are some who are emotional, angry, and hold what look to me like pretty weak hands in their efforts to convince folks not to support Palin because she's not better than Perry.
Ha, ha. I like that.
For once, you make sense. Don’t let it get to yur head though.
Palin is graceful and doesn’t insult her fellow GOP candidates, but she did mark him down severely in her own subtile way.
This is not a good review on Perry, or his crude delivery, merely a thumbs up on the topic.
If Perry wins the nomination you won’t vote for him against Obama?
Why don’t you go read what I posted.
I didn’t read every post on this thread. If you don’t want to answer, fine.
If you don’t want to read my reply to your question, fine.
