Sarah Palin’s New Pundit Gig

Jake
Be careful asking Martha Coakley any questions.
Michael Meehan will slam you onto your butt if she doesn’t like what you ask…

The DNC response was childish. The Democrat party needs to grow up – these are serious times we live in and Americans are looking for serious leadership.
It’s no secret the liberal elites despise this woman as (a.) she is a self-made, conservative woman and mother, (b.) she is not “one of them” and they do not understand her, (c.) her ability to connect with the public at large is threat to Democrats. So, they continue to rake her over the coals to degree previously unseen (anyone?).
Furthermore, while liberals try to paint of label of Sarah Palin being “dumb”, “ditzy”, and/or “unintelligent”, I challenge any of them to provide an argument as to how Barack Obama was more qualifed than Sarah Palin to be President. A wide swath of Americans see the contrasts between the two which explains in part her popularity and the hate leveled upon her.
Soon she will be more popular than he is as well.

did you see andrea mitchel of nbc last night …..she was seething about Palin lmao… OLD Andrea ugly and tired looking.. Even Georgie was showing his jealously this morning LMAO

By all means, let’s do more reporting on Sarah Palin. In the meantime, the Obama administration is releasing lies about 2 million jobs being created in less than 12 months by the stimulus plan. Obama and the dems are selling our children and grandchildren down the financial river and all you can do is worry about what Palin said last night. You should be ashamed Jake.

Reporting? What is there to report? The only thing spewing from the critics is vitriol. News? The more they mock her the more they offend the average American that identifies her. And I do believe that it is the average American that votes, pays taxes, and are the source of network ‘ratings’.

Jake. Here let me show you some actual stories to follow up on that are more important than Palin’s debut on Fox.
SEC hides AIG bailout documents until 2018
Rangel says no ObamaCare bill until February
Quinnipiac: Obama approval 45%
Pelosi’s a horrible woman, says … Jack Cafferty
Dems paying union workers to hold signs for Coakley?
Rasmussen: Brown cuts Coakley’s lead from nine points to two — in a week;
Porkulus saved or created two million jobs now
Oliver Stone documentary to put Hitler “in context”

“Jake. Here let me show you some actual stories to follow up on that are more important than Palin’s debut on Fox.”
Or how about The Weekly Standard reporter who was shoved to the ground last night in DC by one of Martha Coakley’s thugs when the reporter had the gall to ask why a number of (paid) healthcare lobbyists were supporting her campaign at a fund-raiser in DC.
Attorney General Coakley witnessed the entire incident, no charges filed.

“she is emblematic of the right wing,, education is bad, knowledge is bad, jingoism is good, watch what we say, not we we do…..”
Ironically, this is the most “uneducated” post I’ve read in weeks.

So Sarah Palin believes that the government should get out of the way of business.
If you check the internet, you’ll discover that Sarah Palin, who billed herself as Wasilla’s first Christian mayor, provided an excellent example of deregulated businesses. Because she got campaign contributions for bar owners, she permitted bars to stay open until 5 AM. When Wasilla’s police chief Irl Stambaugh objected because this would increase the number of DUI’s and DUI-related auto accidents, she fired him.
In addition to DUI’s, longer bar owners enabled more men to drink up their salaries and go home and beat up their wives or live-in girl friends. It also increased the likelihood of sexual assault. When Palin was governor of Alaska, Alaska had one of the highest rates of sexual assault in the country. But in Wasilla, this was OK because while Palin was mayor, rape victims had to pay for their own rape treatment kits.
Oh yes, if Sarah Palin were actually president, if woman who became pregnant because of a sexual assault, she could not get an abortion. She had to be a mother to the unwanted baby – even if the “woman” was a 14 year old girl who was assaulted by her mother’s live-in boyfriend.
So, Sarah Palin does not want any regulation of businesses, but there is nothing wrong with regulating a woman’s private life. And FOX news wants Palin to be the next president.

Politicians are not role models for Americans……from either of the 2 main political parties.
The citizens need to recognize it is time for a new party, and one that truly does represent the people, and not the wealthy and influential.
Let’s stop supporting those who are only out for themselves, and put people in office that want to do something good for American citizens.
One thing we do recognize, and that is that business is no longer following a responsible model of behavior. The banks have clearly demonstrated that, and it is a pervasive attitude in business, overall, in this country.
We must demand that business return to the basic principle that one of the goals of business, should be to provide jobs and well-being for people. You do not do that, by sending all of America’s manufacturing to China!!!!

I love this “real Americans love Palin” claim. The majority of Americans voted for Obama. More Americans identify themselves as Democrats than Republicans by a huge margin. Democrats won the popular vote in 4 of the last 5 Presidential elections. That tells you who the real Americans are – Palin’s supporters are birthers and other crazies who have never read an economics textbook and have no clue that GOP policies hurt working people like them.

“Palin’s supporters are birthers and other crazies who have never read an economics textbook…”
Untrue. Based on the past 12 months it would appear that Liberals are unfamiliar with fundamental economics.
“…and have no clue that GOP policies hurt working people like them.”
Hmm…sounds like this comment would be more applicable to the “lost” generations of Americans who have become addicted to (enslaved by?) government entitlements promoted by Democrats.
I also note that not one Palin-hater has taken up my challenge to refute my claim that Palin (as VP candidate) was more qualified to hold the office of president than Obama.

“I also note that not one Palin-hater has taken up my challenge to refute my claim that Palin (as VP candidate) was more qualified to hold the office of president than Obama.”
Why bother?
She was mayor of a podunk town for a few years followed being Governor of a backwater state for all of 1 1/2 years until she quit that job.
She has proven herself unqualified to govern.
But she fits right in with Fox’s lineup of right wing talking heads.

So many people have based their opinions of Sarah Palin on a caricature, not her character and accomplishments. ………….Those are misconceptions based upon misquotation, elitist journalism, and flat out lies. …Sarah Palin achieved more on a transcontinental pipeline in 2.5 years than her predecessors have in the past 30 years. She cut state spending every year she has been in office, and this is not solely disallowing government spending to increase by the inflationary three percent. She passed actual cuts to spending. ..She has brought about ethics reform in a corrupt government. Through ACES, Governor Palin provided incentive to oil companies and ensured stability and protection for the resource owners, Alaskans.”. Additionally, ..Governor Palin took on corruption on both sides of the aisle!!…. For her it’s not about politics, but principles.
Sarah is a student of Ronald Reagan. ..She believes that “promoting the general welfare” is about helping people realize their self-sufficiency, not their need to rely on government. ..She sees a strong national defense and energy independence as two key issues facing our nation. ..She believes in limited government as a means of encouraging development and advocates cutting taxes, thus providing jobs for many. If someone respectfully disagrees with her politics, that is totally understandable.

Sarah has common sense which is at a loss in Washington .(on both sides of the isle!)

The fringe speaks.

Hillarious!
Now the nitwits on the Obama channels (MSM,cable) not only have to worry about Palin running for president,
now she will boost Fox’s ratings even more!

“Why bother?”
Let’s look at your boy Barack’s past:
- Admits to cocaine use (in his book)
- Sat for 20 years in the church of a preacher who ranted against America (and at times, specifically white America)
- By appearances was never responsible for a budget and directly managing staff/personnel
- Was associated with many shady Chicago characters (Rezco, Ayres, Blago, Daly, etc.)
- Has few (any?) accomplishments to point to during his time as a state legistlator or U.S. Senator (tho’ he voted “present” quite a bit)
- Would appear to have never held down a job that could be considered by the majority of Americans as “honest” work (community organizer, lawyer, politician)
So yeah, RyanC, I can understand why you would not want to debate Obama’s qualifications vs. those of Palin’s.

The left also thought Reagan was a dunce. How did that work out for them?
How is Obama’s Harvard elite brilliance working out for him?
He hasn’t got one grain of common sense or people sense.
Palin connects with regular average Americans. Obama lectures and reads to them.

The left also thought Reagan was a dunce. How did that work out for them?

Reagan won America over by a stellar performance in the debates. Palin? Not so much…

Fixed your list for you
- Mayor of Wasilla, AK- ran up over $20M in debt in a town of less than 10K.
- Chairperson, Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission- a whole year before she resigned. She then proceeded to advance her political ambitions by turning on her friends in the GOP establishment. She then proceeded to do many of the unethical things that she ratted om her friends for.
- Governor of Alaska- Quit after 1 1/2 years on the job.

“Who is more qualified to be President?”
Do you mean who WAS more qualified…? You guys made all these same lame comparisons before the election and it didn’t convince enough people to change the outcome. Why would it make any difference now? By 2012 Obama’s experience will be light years beyond Sarah Palin.

“Do you mean who WAS more qualified…? You guys made all these same lame comparisons before the election and it didn’t convince enough people to change the outcome. Why would it make any difference now? By 2012 Obama’s experience will be light years beyond Sarah Palin.”
I still am dumbfounded why the McCain campaign undercut their strongest argument (his experience) by having a complete moron on the ticket.

Sarah isn’t falling in the polls
Posted by: ceeLeelee
she’s always quitting or canceling on something or someone, she’s not falling in polls because no one takes her seriously, that’s already been proved

“why the McCain campaign undercut their strongest argument (his experience) by having a complete moron on the ticket”
I think she was forced on him somehow, but it’s my own hunch.

Palin……elected official with responsibility
Posted by: Jack
didn’t really work out that way did it..
how soon they forget

“I think she was forced on him somehow, but it’s my own hunch.”
Could the McCain campaign have believed the PUMA facade was real?

“he hasn’t in one year, fixed the collapsed economy, finished Iraq, won Afghanistan, Yemen, heath care and financial reform, put millions back to work, …..
that’s the new standard isn’t it, you have to do it all in one year.. curious how republicans get 8 years to trash the joint but Dems have to fix it in one…”
No one expected obama to “fix” everything at once. We just didn’t think he would make it worse.
A stellar performance by a lousy actor.
Heh, heh.

We just didn’t think

the truth at last…

deflect and distract
Posted by: ceeLeelee
really?
death panels/kill your grandmother
birthers
10thers
FEMA camps
secret muslim
doesnt’ say ‘terrorist’
communist, socialist, nazi etc.
what was that about ‘deflect and distract’ again..

“Per Gallup (12/17/09): Obama’s favorability rating was 56% (falling), Palin’s favorability rating was 44% (rising).”
Actually Obama’s favorables have been relatively stable (mid 50′s) for the past 3 months though he has seen an uptick in his unfavorable numbers.
Palin is different in that her unfavorables (upper 40′s) have been pretty stable while she has seen a slight uptick in her favorables.

You guys would do better to hie over to the Gallup Poll blog and defend him there.
Looks like your guy is doing pretty bad on that one.
Heh, heh.

“re: Messiah
why does the right so desperately mix religion and politics”
Actually it is the left who does so. A few examples:
From Newsweek editor Evan Thomas (June 2009):
“He’s going to bring all different sides together…Obama is trying to sort of tamper everything down. He doesn’t even use the word terror. He uses extremism. He’s all about let us reason together…He’s the teacher. He is going to say, ‘now, children, stop fighting and quarreling with each other.’ And he has a kind of a moral authority that he – he can – he can do that.”
Obama is ‘we are above that now.’ We’re not just parochial, we’re not just chauvinistic, we’re not just provincial. We stand for something – I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God. He’s going to bring all different sides together.”
From the Politiken (Danish newspaper) Editorial (December 2009):
“On the other hand, we have Jesus’ miracles that everyone still remembers, but which only benefitted a few. At the same time, we have the wonderful parables about his life and deeds that we know from the New Testament, but which have been interpreted so differently over the past 2000 years that it is impossible to give an unequivocal result of his work.
Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus – if we have to play that absurd Christmas game. But it is probably more meaningful to insist that with today’s domestic triumph, that he has already assured himself a place in the history books – a space he has good chances of expanding considerably in coming years.”
==================
So what you haven’t figured out is that when we on the right invoke religious references, we are actually ridiculing the unwavering adoration some of the left hold for The One.

and just remember, 9/11 didn’t happen on Bush’s watch according to Rudy, Perino, and Maitlin..
denial ain’t no river

“So what you haven’t figured out is that when we on the right invoke religious references,”
You do so shamelessly and cruelly.
Like Pat Robertson.
The right wing is disgusting.

I didn’t vote for Bush
Posted by: ceeLeelee
didn’t say you did, only pointing out what passes for republican ‘intelligence’ these days

you need to hook up with those religious types praying for bad stuff to happen to the Pres, good republican/conservatives all

“you need to hook up with those religious types praying for bad stuff to happen to the Pres, good republican/conservatives all”
Or blaming the Haitians for the Earthquake because they are not evangelical Christians (they happen to be devout Catholics) like right winger Pat Robertson just did.
You might remember Pat from the past saying Americans are to blame for 9/11 and Katrina.

I actually happy to see Palin join FoxNews. It’s a job that suits her and I’m sure she’ll provide entertainment for millions. And Democrats really can’t whine about it – everyone knew she was going to stay active in the Republican party for some time, and it’s not like by joining their TV station she’ll do any more damage than Hannity, Beck, etc. do already.

“You do so shamelessly and cruelly. Like Pat Robertson. The right wing is disgusting.”
Nice diversion, ryan_c. But does it change the fact that it is the LEFT who refers (in serious terms, rather than in mocking terms) the allusions to Obama and deity?
Didn’t think so. I can tell you are getting desperate when the broad-brushed, ridiculous assertions are made on your part (“the right wing is disgusting” ??? I sense a very false degree of piety and outrage).

Heh, heh.

…
Anyone else read those in their famous-comedian-doing-a-Bush-impersonation voice? I’m not sure if ceeLeelee is inadvertently mimicking Bush, or maybe IS Bush (in which case he finally had time to figure out the internets – good for him!).

“I see .. if someone characterizes the Pres, it must mean that he agrees and believes what they say about him……… fits very well into Republican dogma”
Huh?
Well, perhaps this is the case if one has liberal DNA: “If I read it, and I agree with it, it must be true”
Reminds me of the approach liberals use in passing judgement on those who pass along racial slurs: “If I agree with their politics, they are forgiven. Otherwise, no degree of contriteness will yield forgiveness.”

I just did not want to steal “ROFLMA!”
That one is already taken.
Heh, heh.

p.s.
I left off the “O” because after almost two years, I figure that it has probably dropped off.
Heh, heh.

“Dems are not afraid of reading like republican/tea party folks are.. Dems actually think it’s a valuable skill along with learning, unlike some righty types who want to teach creationism in public schools and call it ‘science’..”
You might want to tell Mr. 57 States what Dems supposedly do. Looks like he is a bit behind the power curve…
Heh, heh.

“Pat Robertson is to religion as Rush Limbaugh is to radio. He’s not above saying whatever he has to to keep the coffers full.”
That Robertson thinks what he said will fill coffers is a pretty damning indictment of his flock.

Make that a bit behind the learning curve.
(This is too easy!)
Heh, heh.

Nice to see the “Winker From Wasilla” continuing to massively succeed at transferring money from the pockets of otherwise well meaning right-wing ideologues to her own. Can’t wait to watch Glenn Beck’s lip quiver over her.

“That Robertson thinks what he said will fill coffers is a pretty damning indictment of his flock.”
-indeed!

Obama’s handling of specific issues declined again this month, reaching new lows across the board:
Creating Jobs: 34% approve (-3 vs. last poll 12/09)/59% disapprove (+3)
Health Care: 35 (-3)/58 (+2)
Economy: 41 (-3), 54 (+3)
Afghanistan: 45 (-2)/45 (+2)
Foreign Policy: 45 (-1)/46 (+2)

“So when you hear your right wing buddies say racial slurs about Hispanics do you just tell yourself they are talking about “them” and not you?”
Sorry, ryan, not going to fall for it. My “buddies” (right-wing or otherwise) don’t make it a habit of judging other Hispanics on the tone of their skin or Hispanic dialect.

Oh Yeah -
Okay, have a good one.

been fun
c y’all later…. stay warm

“She cut state spending every year she has been in office”
In June of 2007 Palin signed the largest budget in Alaska’s history.
Alaska is now facing serious budget deficits in 2009 and projected to 2010(much like other states) though theirs is tied to the price of oil falling.
Palin of course did not plan for that and quit on the people of Alaska to make her personal fortune.

Sorry, ryan, not going to fall for it. My “buddies” (right-wing or otherwise) don’t make it a habit of judging other Hispanics on the tone of their skin or Hispanic dialect.”
Oh they just wait till yo’;re out of the room then.
Mighty polite of them.

“Hey, Obama! How many states are there? Well, ummm…we’ve been to 57.”
Hey, Obama! How is your Rosetta Austrian language training coming along? What do you think of the “profits to earnings” ratios in the stock market these days?

“Oh they just wait till yo’;re out of the room then. Mighty polite of them.”
Grasping at straws…
How does it feel to support a president and administration that has virtually all levers of power at its disposal and yet has proven so grossly incompetent over a period of 12 months? This is just the beginning…2009 is posed to look like the “good ol’ days” compared to what’s coming up in 2010.

I love Sarah Palin, she drives the liberal just crazy, as can be seen by the posts here…

“She believes that “promoting the general welfare” is about helping people realize their self-sufficiency, not their need to rely on government.”
Which is why she increased oil royalty payments to Alaskan residents.
Ya know self sufficiency and all that jazz.

“awwww poor tjp. Did the tea party people ask for your birth certificate before letting you in?”
Initially I tried to join the Democrats, but some questions arose regarding my skin color (some judged me as “too dark” (i.e., “too authentic”) – others judged me as “too light” (i.e., “not authentic”)).
I also ran into some problems when I took the Democrat Dialect Test (DDT) as I wasn’t able to turn off my Hispanic dialect as readily modifiable as the DNC overseers would have preferred. So, I was denied entry to the party, no DNC card for me.

“Initially I tried to join the Democrats, but some questions arose regarding my skin color (some judged me as “too dark” (i.e., “too authentic”) – others judged me as “too light” (i.e., “not authentic”))”
That is quite odd.
Since Reid was referring to right wingers like your buddies as to why Obama would be able to get elected.
Reid was recognizing that it would be much harder for the right wing to cast Obama as the “scary black man” though theytried their best to do just that.

“Since Reid was referring to right wingers like your buddies as to why Obama would be able to get elected. Reid was recognizing that it would be much harder for the right wing to cast Obama as the “scary black man” though theytried their best to do just that.”
Something is not consistent here…. Democrats outnumber Republicans, so why would Reid even care about pandering to the right-wing vote. Hmmm…. Me thinks he needed to cast his net a bit wider than you think….
BTW – It’s going to be a bit odd next year when the only Senator who by coincidence happens to be black will be a Republican from Texas (Michael L. Williams). Gasp! Texas of all places!

Reid was recognizing that it would be much harder for the right wing to cast Obama as the “scary black man” though theytried their best to do just that.”

;-P

I’ve followed Sarah Palin’s career
over the last couple of years and
read her recent book. I’m impressed.
Sarah, you have my vote.

For those who are impressed with her book….she did not actually write it. She gave information to a ghost writer and they wrote it. Don’t be so impressed…you would look good if a professionsl write put your words into sync.
