    emphasis mine

    Now this gets to the crux of the matter!!! Indirect though it may be, and certainly unintentional!!

    If you, and the Palin crucifiers, truly feel this way, why do you bother to comment so abundantly on every thread about her??? HM-M-M-M-M

    As I've said before, this is a perfect example of the old bard's quote:
    "Methinks he doth protest too much!"

    It's apparent that the left is scared silly of this gal, cuz McCain has been totally ignored by y'all since Nov (you know he's no threat:sleep: ), but this gal, who just went back to Alaska to do her thing, has been eviscerated daily by lies, innuendos, false charges, and just plain crappy name-calling.

    Why else, other than the instinctive fear (well justified I might add:thumbs: ) of one who won't play by their "rules", lives what she believes, and connects to the common citizen?

    If you guys weren't so hung up on sucking at the govt teat, you would love her too, but alas ----!!:BangHead:

    You just ain't gettin it are you? Palin put herself in the public eye, I didn't. So she is under scrutiny whether she is a Democrat or a Republican. I now consider myself to be quite independant so I have a wide range to criticize about and a lot of hypocracies to expose. This is how a democracy works , not with a blind eye but holding those who are in office or who want to run for office under close scrutiny. This is one of the ways we got the terrible Government Representation we have now by believing the fluff that both parties have thrown at us and casting a blind eye at the obvious. Too bad Palin became a quitter Being a quitter doesn't bode well with me. When I elect someone I expect them to fulfill their promises to the best of their ability, not quitting and leaving the rest high and dry.
    BTW , what does a Government teat taste like , I never had one before.

    I don't believe Palin will ever be elected president. She may not ever even secure the nomination of the Republican Party in order to run.

    The bruhaha over Sarah is most instructive in that it illustrates how terrified democrats and their liberal media cohorts are of a real conservative.

    After Obama totally destroys the economy of the U.S, it should be easy for a real conservative to beat him in 2012. I don't believe Republicans have the nerve to even nominate one.

    And I was the first to state that Obama was a man of no substance. McCain had a chance and blew it when he chose Palin. Had McCain chose Huckabee he would have had better chance. Yes, I wrote about Palin in the negative but I don't get carried away by the superficial. If you want cutenes and catch phrases,you will always have Palin but you might get stood up in the end just like the way she left her supporters high and dry in Alaska.:tongue3:

    She put herself in the public eye and got hammered for it- true enough!
    BUT, if your reasoning is feasible, why did y'all not leave her alone once she REMOVED HERSELF FROM THE PUBLIC EYE????
    All the brouhaha you just spouted just gives credence to the fact that the left is scared silly of her!!

    Targus sez:
    Couldn't have told you that, but it does make one wonder about this statement of Petra-O IX,
    Obviously he cares!!:smilewinkgrin:

    McCain had no chance, no matter who he selected as his running mate.

    He was doomed to be outliberaled by a real liberal.

    Because Palin has most likely not removed herself from politics and because this is a debate. What I do care about is that voters not repeating the same idiotic mistakes that have been made in the past. You are one of the ones convinced that a square peg will actually fit in a round hole so you will keep repeating that routine over and over and over.........:tongue3:

    Maybe so Carpro but why not go down fighting th in the good fight. He could have done better. As far as that goes we all could have done better if we had made better choices. Maybe the next time we will have remembered the debacle of 2008 and hopefully get it right the next time.

    McCain had no "fight" to offer, no matter who his running mate was. Blaming his loss on Palin, is avoiding the real issue. He was a bad choice for a candidate. If Republicans continue to let their liberal wing select their candidates, they will continue to lose.

    But Palin is part of the equation, you can't deny that.With the line up of candidates for the 2008 season it was hard to come up with a true conservative other than Ron Paul. But Ron Paul wasn't cute enough nor did he have any good catch phrases. What Ron Paul did have was real substance but the voters spoke and they wanted more superficial candidates.
