I went 350 posts once with a another guy like you. He’s not here any more, pity.
I have not said I hate Palin. I have not posted anything that looks like hate.
The DoughyOne wrote earlier on this thread, in post #36:
She [Palin] is a failed half term governor.
It is known that "failed half-term governor" is a staple regurgitation of the most rabid of Palin-haters.
Yes, it is known.
Other than stepping down as a result of the persistent and numerous lawsuits that were preventing her from performing her duties as Governor, please list her “failures” in governing Alaska.
Please at least make an attempt to read the post.
That way I won’t have to repeat myself.
Thanks in advance.
"She [Palin] is a failed half term governor."
Just because you move the goal posts does not, in anyway, change the nature and tone of your original accusation.
At least half the country, and probably more, isn't even aware that Sarah Palin is no longer governor of Alaska.
Most of the remaining half don't know that she served a half term, and wouldn't use the term "failed" to describe her. They just think of her as "that Tea Party politician"
98.5% of FReepers don't think of Palin as a "failed" governor. That 98.5% also know WHY she resigned the governorship.
This leaves the remaining small percentage of the country that actively dislikes Palin. These people probably know one of the two pejoratives used by the DoughyOne, most likely "half term". They usually couple "quitter" with that phrase. They're not likely to use "failed", because Palin is still around, living in their tiny brains, and giving wedgies to Obama with his own Mom Jeans.
Now we come to the hard-core 1-2% of the country who HATE Sarah Palin.
They like to couple the two terms "failed" and "half-term", because it gives them two sucker-punches on Palin for the price of one.
Heck, I doubt if even Joe Biden would use that phrase about Palin. Joe may be dumb, but he DOES have a certain amount of class.
No, a phrase like "failed half term governor" falls most easily from the lips and pens of people like Gene Lyons and Joe "Dead Eyes" Conason.
Draw your own conclusions...
That way I won’t have to repeat myself.
The jokes just write themselves...
"You mean the first 8 or 9 times you posted 'Here's part of her interview with O'Reilly' wasn't a stuck keyboard?"
You ever going to share your first Free Republic post with us? ;-)
Does it matter if I can or I can’t?
You know this thread will be around for a long time. Anyone who wants to can link to it.
It’s a real example of the wonderful people who support Palin here.
In truth, many of them wouldn’t act this way. Sadly, some of Palin’s supporters do. It isn’t in her best interest to act this way.
Yes - they're truthful and fact-oriented. Some of them also know how to deal with the rabid, narrow-eyed foaming 1% Palin-haters.
There are also real examples of the bottom-feeders who hate Palin without reason here.
Here, it's the first post I can find of mine on the forum. so the record is lasting over twelve years now.
Over 12.5 years back...
Oops, not on that one...
Still the oldest thread I was able to pull up.
I'll bet I could make some money off him by selling him some of his oldest posts.
Better than vintage porn, for some... ;-)
How predictable... You acted as if these threads are not a long standing record, and even challenge me to find my first post here.
I realized there was an inability to go back all the way to 1998 when I joined, but wanted to research how far back we could go.
I used Google to find posts from over 12.5 years ago. And since the challenge was to find my first post from years ago, that’s what I focused on.
Note that the oldest thread I found and linked was one in which I didn’t contribute.
The point made was that this is a long standing record that can be linked for years or decades to come.
And the point was also, that your childish challenges and then insults based on someone meeting them, make your favorite political person look like someone who attracts maladjusted flakes who are more likely to drive people away from her than anything else. And that will be on the record for a very long time.
At least half the country, and probably more, isn't even aware that Sarah Palin is no longer governor of Alaska.
The dilusional grandure continues...
Most of the remaining half don't know that she served a half term, and wouldn't use the term "failed" to describe her. They just think of her as "that Tea Party politician"
And of course nobody will mention the fact that she quit as governor mid-term, when and if she runs in 2016.
98.5% of FReepers don't think of Palin as a "failed" governor. That 98.5% also know WHY she resigned the governorship.
Are you sure it isn't 98.3%? Do you believe that the members of Free Republic are going to vote Palin in all on their own? The sad reality for you is, they can't. That means she is going to have to attract and appeal to the Republicans to obtain the nomination. After that it means she will have to appeal to and attract other voters. Her decision to step down as Governor will follow here all through this proces. It won't because I happen to think it's a problem. It will because her opposition will make sure it does. I can't stop that. I don't support it. I merely say to you, that this is the reality she is going to have to deal with. Do I have to hate her to state this? No. I merely have to have some understanding of politics, and how the process works. And if you wish to think her half term as governor won't come up and cost her, then think that. We'll see what that buys you in 2016.
This leaves the remaining small percentage of the country that actively dislikes Palin. These people probably know one of the two pejoratives used by the DoughyOne, most likely "half term".

I would suspect the term 'small percentage' is overly optimistic. We know the Left is going to dislike her based on her idiology. What Palin has to do now is appeal to the broad body of Republicans, and the independents. Now, will they be as inclined to accept her excuses for resigning mid-term? I suspect some of them will. The question is, how many of them will? Will the resignation be a deal killer? I honestly don't know. It's an addtional hurdle, and hurdles are not a blessing when you're trying to win public office. And when this is her record of her last held public office, I think there's a very real chance this could blow out to hurt her. Do I hope that it does? Does that matter? For the record, I don't hope that it does. My hopes on this are about as valueable as your hopes on it though. They mean noting..
Now we come to the hard-core 1-2% of the country who HATE Sarah Palin.
You're tossing these percentages out, and we both know where you pulled them from. There's more than 1-2% of the country that are Leftist, and many of them are actually going to hate her. When you see what they do as compared to what I have done, you're quickly going to learn the difference between reasoned questions and true expressions of hate.
They like to couple the two terms "failed" and "half-term", because it gives them two sucker-punches on Palin for the price of one.
It is rather sad really, to realize that you cannot understand that there is no way to spin a mid-term resignation into a positive. Go ahead and tell yourself it is a positive. And if it is, then you have nothing to worry about. You can post it is a positive here ten million times if you like. And then during the campaign, reality will set in. It may or may not mean the end of her campaign, but I wouldn't dismiss it as a real cause for concern. If you want to life in la la land, go ahead.
Heck, I doubt if even Joe Biden would use that phrase about Palin. Joe may be dumb, but he DOES have a certain amount of class.
Wow, I never thought you would stoop that low. Joe Biden has class? Sure am glad to see that you are not desperately seeking to marginalize someone over something that isn't a threat to Palin at all. If her own record isn't a threat to her, then why go so balistic over the mention? You betray yourself. You agree this an area of concern for her. And you are desperate to convince yourself that it isn't. Okay, well..., good luck with that.
No, a phrase like "failed half term governor" falls most easily from the lips and pens of people like Gene Lyons and Joe "Dead Eyes" Conason.
Yep, and some folks still see a resignation half way through a first term as governor, as the best resume enhancer ever. Well, we'll see how that works out. Draw your own conclusions...
Yes folks, please do.
