Sarah Palin
 

What do all of you think about her?

Do you feel she has been unfairly attacked?

Do you feel she would be a worse president than Bush 43?

Do you feel her intellectual qualities are ignored?

Do you feel she is smarter than Obama?

Do you Megan McCain likes her or is a RINO traitor?

Obama gets a thread for Conse 'Pubs to attack ad nauseum,

and this thread will equal out that equation.

If the question is about her politics, shouldn't the poll choices be about whether you agree or disagree? This "love" and "like" and "hate" stuff is useless. (Not that I think there's any value to these sorts of polls here, either, but I'm just sayin' ... IMHO)

yup
 

"ditto":yes:

Before the special Massachusetts election, I would have responded with some lame joke here, but now I just stare in dumbfounded disbelief......

I haven't posted this in the Coakley/Brown thread because the discussion there is truly inane, in my opinion, but I'd just like to point out one thing (and I write this while not supporting either Obama or Palin or Coakley or Brown):

I live in Massachusetts. People in the know in Massachusetts understand that Scott Brown did not win because Massachusetts voters turned to a Republican. He won because Massachusetts voters abstained. Look at these results.

In 2008, Obama won 1.9 million votes to McCain's 1.1 million in Massachusetts.

In 2010, Coakley won 1.05 million votes to Brown's 1.16 million.

In other words, Brown essentially won all the votes McCain got (okay, a very few more), and 850,000 people who are fed up with the broken promises of Obama stayed home instead of putting his candidate Coakley in the Senate.

That explains how an overwhelming majority of Massachusetts citizens can support the public option in healthcare and Brown still wins. It is the only explanation. People stayed home because they just don't see the point.

she is a idiot!!

Palin
 

Oh dear, now we are going to have a discussion on Palin. Read the reviews of her performance at the Tea party get together. Granted, she is good looking, a bit sexy and a pretty good speaker. However, how many are going to buy into her hate filled rhetoric. She appeals to a minority of Americans who are poorly educated, frustrated and bigoted. The Republican party can do better than that if it wants to survive. The majority of Americans are optimistic and want a better life in a better country. She is the opposite of Reagan who soothed nerves and made many Americans feel better.

SMC:

She hasn't decided whether she's in politics or not, and she's a Fox talking head. She left politics for the money, and even stated that running for president had to be good for her family, when being governor wasn't.


TAL

Palin?
 

Why should Palin be the only one who declares already that she is interested in running for president in 2012? She has said she will run if she thinks that is the best thing to do at the time.
Unless she is lying, she did not leave politics for the money, unless you mean for the money that she (and Alaska) stand to lose by paying legal fees for the many nuisance suits that threatened to grind her administration to a halt.

Bottom line: I just don't care. Sorry.

What do all of you think about her?
She's encouraging wrong-thinking Americans. Supporter sez, "See, that down-to-earth, confident person agrees with me I MUST be right!".

Do you feel she has been unfairly attacked?
Yes. Many of the attacks are clumsy, rude and/or false. She should be discussed, debated and called out but not attacked willy-nilly.

Do you feel she would be a worse president than Bush 43?

Yes, although this would depend on her advisors since she's likely to be heavily influenced by them.

Do you feel her intellectual qualities are ignored?
She is of average ability. Not good enough to be president.

Do you feel she is smarter than Obama?
Fuck no. And she knows less. That said, she could stumble onto some right answers.

Do you Megan McCain likes her or is a RINO traitor?
??

Now, if she turned out to have a dick, I'd consider spending some non-political time with her.

Let's start a rumor about her birth certificate. Born in U.S. but her sex was marked incorrectly.

Last statment: What do you think she'd think of the good folks on this board?

SAMMY:

Right now, she is not running for anything at all, and 3 years is not tomorrow. If you want to talk about her politics, go ahead.

Do you want her in The WH?

This board does offer general discussion for now: baseball, football, hockey, etc. too.

TAL

This made my day. I really needed a good laugh and you provided it. :respect::lol::lol:

(best post I've seen on any site on the internet)

politics and sucking dicks
it's all about turning tricks
some money here
some money there
porn to cum
politics to fuck
we are all in it
without much luck
:confused::turnoff:

I like politics mixed with porn.

See above ;)

An Outsider's Opinion
 

When I listen to Sarah talking I find it hard to believe that she attended an institute of higher learning. I really have to wonder if she was paying attention at said institute. Sarah does sound to me like she is a sincere person, but she too often is out of her depths.

As for looks, Sarah is a very beautiful woman. Unfortunately it takes more than good looks to run a country effectively.

I think the Republican party would be in a great deal of trouble if Sarah is chosen as the party's candidate in the next presidential election.

Sarah is one of those people that you either think she's the greatest and you love her or you think she's the biggest nutjob on the earth and you hate her, no middle ground you're on one of the two sides as there is no middle ground on this nut job

:no: Jerseygirl Jen

I wonder what side you are on Jennifer?;):lol:

LOL! She is barely smarter than a bacon sandwich.

That is an insult to bacon sandwiches everywhere!

You are right, she only appears smarter cos a bacon sandwich had no hands to write notes on.

ILA:

She looks better from a distance, and the closer you get the warts are big and many.

TAL

From futanari Obsession.

Palin gets her revenge but Tina cums along.:lol:

Like this? The sexiest thing in the world is a woman with a gun. Even sexier is a tranny with a gun. See:http://forum.transladyboy.com/showth...208#post110208

If Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter had cocks, I would like to join in that threesome!

Oh yeah, Sarah Palin is an idiot. She will never make prez.

Oh yeah, Meghan McCain is fine as fuck!

When they lack unrivaled popularity. Sarah Palin won't have the favoritism of the masses in the same way that Zero did.

I would gladly impregnate Sarah Palin and her daughter in a raunchy threesome. The only condition would be that I would name the resulting children.

Who the hell names their kids "Trip" and "Trig"? You have just ruined that kids life by naming him/her a weird ass name that sounds retarded. Not to go off in a different direction, but I hate people who name their kids something like "Aiden" or "Brayden" or some weird ass spelling of a name with a "y" in it.

ANGRY:

Trik, Trib, Trif, Tric, Tris, Tril, Trim, Trio, Triq, Trit, Triv, Triz, and Trix are still available for the resulting masses.


TAL

A 46% Favorable Rating
 

46% of her party say she is qualified for president!!!

As Fox would say, that's what most Americans think.

Not surprising, they voted for and reelected her male analog.:frown:

So can I.;)

I can't stand her. She makes me very sad to be registered as a Republican, and furthermore a critically-thinking human being. I don't know much about her and I don't really care to, much the same as any other celebrity. She has yet to say anything that is of political or philosophical worth and I doubt she ever will. So until then, I'll continue to consider Sarah Palin to be a nuisance.

Tiddily winks - modern politics
 

As far as this poll goes, I like her. Would I vote for her for prez? I doubt it. But then it would have to depend on who the opposition was. Ronald McDonald? Hmmmm, that would be a toughie.

Compared to Geraldine Ferraro or Elizabeth Dole; Sarah Palin is a bubblehead.

The lastest edition of The Boston Phoenix, our weekly "alternative" newspaper here, has an editorial that begins with something worth sharing in this thread, because it made me laugh out loud.

"If Sarah Palin were to smoke a joint while piloting a flying saucer to Cuba, evidence suggests that more than one third of America would approve."

Now that's a great image (see below for the actual image that accompanies the piece in print). The editorial goes on to explain:

"That's not because Palin is especially popular. She isn't. Last month, 71 percent of Americans surveyed for a CBS News poll said they did not want to see Palin run for president and 41 percent said that they had a negative opinion of her. Only 26 percent viewed her positively.

"Given all of Palin's ink and tube time, that is pretty sketchy. But the fact of the matter is that more Americans favor legalizing marijuana (41 percent) than favor Palin.

"More Americans have a favorable view of Cuba (38 percent) than of Palin.

"And more Americans believe in UFOs (34 percent) than think Palin should sit in the Oval Office."

And to put that in the Palin context:

"Professional politicans and news executives consider legalizing pot and normalizing relations with Cuba to be marginal issues (Nobody has ever accused the political class -- or the corporate monopolies that control mainstream media -- of being forward looking. As for negotiating with beings from outer space, we'll leave that to the tea partiers to sort out.) Yet these marginal issues enjoy an average favorability of 38 percent, making them 12 points more popular than Palin.

"Does that mean Palin should fire up a bone, hop into her spaceship, and hightail it to Havana? One can only dream. Sarah in the sky toking away would at least be newsworthy. Talk about woman bites dog."

The editorial's real thrust -- in case you're interested -- is about "TV's conservative bias" (that's the headline from the Phoenix). I won't go any further than that, because I don't want to spark a secondary discussion. I just thought my forum friends would enjoy this bit of the editorial.

Lol!
 

Hilarious and an interesting comparison of ratings. Spacey indeed!:lol:

She's really hot. Other than that, she doesn't have much going for her.

I was actually going to mention that as well when I had first read about that(but forgot:blush:). That should be good stuff! I also heard that Sarah Palin would be game to be on SNL again if they wanted her.:)

i loove her.. shes hot :)

Except as you stated at the beginning, the article comes from an "alternative" paper, which will clearly have a political leaning (most likely Left). And I find it interesting that they quote poll numbers, but in the excerpts you supplied it's never stated WHERE they actually came from or how legitimate they are.

So, let's look at actual numbers from a reputable source. As of today, here's what America is REALLY thinking and feeling, courtesy of Gallup...

Obama has a 50% approval rating -- meaning the country is literally split right down the middle. Half of us like him, half of us hate him.

The bad news for Obama and the Democrates? Overall, the current rate of national unemployment and/or under-employed is 19.7%. That means a staggering 1 out 5 Americans need jobs.

Equally bad: 45% of Americans consider economic conditions "poor", while only 9% rate it good. But the biggest blow of all is that 56% -- a clear majority -- say economic conditions are STILL getting WORSE.

Based on a Feb 1-3 poll, currently 44% of Americans would vote to reelect Obama, while 42% -- essentially a statistical tie -- now say they'd vote for ANY Republican candidate, even unnamed at this time, just to unseat Obama.

As with the last election, Independents are the key. But right now, Obama has his work cut out for them. Independents are the fastest growing political affiliation in the country. However, Independents would now prefer a Republican in the Oval Office over Obama, by a 45% to 31% spread.

So, what does this mean for Palin?
Actually, it means she's creeping up, as this LA TIMES article notes...

Not that it matters politically because obviously she's a female Republican dunce
and he's obviously a male Democratic genius.

But Sarah Palin's poll numbers are strengthening.
And President Obama's are sliding.
Guess what? They're about to meet in the 40s.

Just so there's no confusion, which could be inadvertently sown by your posting CreativeMind, my posting of the editorial from the Boston Phoenix should in no way be construed as my agreement or disagreement with the points it made. I thought it was interesting and humorous and simply wanted to share.

No prob, SMC -- that wasn't the conclusion I was drawing, nor trying to infer with my post either. So, sorry if MY post read that way. I realize you posted the excerpts for the reason you stated -- namely, the article made you laugh. Hey, for that matter, a few of the images it called up made ME laugh too!

And, on the flip side, my post shouldn't infer that I'm endorsing Palin either because I'm not. To be honest, I'm the one person (as of now) in the poll who voted in the middle and said he could take her or leave her.

Personally, I think Palin is a work-in-progress and that's what makes her frustrating for me, given the amount of national attention she gets. Do I think she's qualified to run for President? Sure. After all, there's only two rules to run. She's of age and was born in the U.S. So, she's good to go. And I hold that opinion for ANYONE -- rich or poor, famous or not, a background in politics or not -- who decides to run for the office. I think that's part of being an American and respecting that our Founding Fathers wanted the presidency to ALWAYS be a wide-open competition, which is exactly why they DIDN'T put further limitations on "who" can run.

Does she have the background? Sure. She was in regional politics and rose up the ladder to winning a governorship. So that puts her in a semi-exclusive league. Do I think she has the intelligence? Yes -- at times. That's why she frustrates me and I consider her a work-in-progress. Sometimes she totally nails things in a very succinct way...and yet otimes she comes off like the kid in class who got caught not doing their homework, and you're left wondering "Who the fuck prepared her for this interview today?"

As for personality and star power -- she's certainly got that. Historically speaking, for all the attention (at the time) that centered on Obama potentially being the first Black president ever...and for all the hype and hoopla that surrounded his convention speech in Denver, which attracted so many people they had to hold it in a football stadium...let's not forget that ultimately Palin's convention speech actually drew MORE TV viewers and had HIGHER ratings, which was amazing because -- in comparison to Obama -- it was on fewer broadcast outlets. And her fame and popularity was only cemented with her recent book tour, where thousands upon thousands showed up to see her.

Would I vote for her? I don't know. It really depends on how the 2010 midterm elections go and Congress is balanced out. Overall, I'm with the majority in the Gallup poll, who feel that having the Democrats controlling all 3 branches of government right now is a bad, bad thing. So, ironically, if the Republicans get back Congress, I could see Obama winning reelection (since I think people personally like him) and him then having a fairly successful presidency by becoming another Bill Clinton -- where he's literally forced by the balance of Congress to keep things straight down the middle, and thus satisfy the majority of Americans.

There's only 1 thing,,,,
 

her serious religiousity scares me. Seperation between church and state is 1 of our most critical principles,,, Sarah doesn't seem to quite get that. But she's stone cold st8 up honest, and DC sure needs a huge dose of that. There's no way we'll ever have meaningful change from the likes of Obamaman, or any other insider. Say what you will, but it ain't gonna happen.

Separation of church and state does not mean that a politician is not allowed to have any religion at all or that a politician is not allowed to express opinions about and/or based on religion. Separation of church and state simply means that laws are not allowed to be passed that are based on any religion.

In the United States, the separation is a bit more complex than just not allowing laws based on any religion. That type of law might be one that requires us all to accept Jesus as our personal savior.

But it also disallows laws that can be construed as limiting any religion in any way. And therein lies the biggest problem, because the "limit" has been defined as restricting taxes on the many of the huge real estate and corporate holdings of, for example, the Mormon Church (holdings that have nothing to do with religion per se, but are financial investments); most of the financial empire of Scientology; and so on.

Just a clarification.

I bet, though, that if a reporter were to ask Sarah Palin to explain this concept, cite the article of the U.S. constitution, or reference even one court case related to it, she would get her "deer-in-the-headlights" look, then wink, and then try to change the subject. Unless, of course, she knew the question was coming and had written the answers on her hand.

I won't bet against you on that because I have no doubt that you are right. I'm not so sure though that she would be able to read any answer that was written on her hand.;)

Latest Sarah Palin Speech Opens Sixth Seal

http://www.theonion.com/content/news...n_speech_opens

Bill Maher, on his HBO show last night, said something to the effect that now that Sarah Palin is in Hollywood shopping around a reality TV show to the networks, we won't see this particular phenomenon again. Why? Because as they say in Hollywood, "Don't put anything in writing!"

They could always put the contract in Russia. She could then go home and see it from there.

Excellent point.

When I first read your post, I did so very fast and thought you wrote "Russian" instead of "Russia." And I thought, my god ila, this woman can barely put together a coherent sentence in English. You think she can read Russian?! :lol:

The contract could be put on a teleprompter. It would be easier for her to see although she still wouldn't be able to read it.

Yes of course,,,
 

Have you read her book ?? If not might ck it,, I think you may see what I mean.
She is VERY wrapped up in traditional christian beliefs. I think when a person is dogmatic, as Palin appears to be, they can't help but have their decision making at least somewhat 'clouded' by their belief system...

Mods, go ahead and remove this toon if you think it's too tasteless.

Even if she could read it though, she wouldn't ... because she's one of the ones idiotically calling out Obama for using a teleprompter.

Oh, wait, sure she would. Being a hypocrite isn't a problem for Sister Sarah!

:lol: And she wouldn't even realize that she is being a hypocrite.

I just had to share this photo from the campaign. No comment is necessary.

This is too rich. I'll just post the text and link.

At an Ohio Right to Life fundraiser Friday night, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin once again defended the notes she wrote on her hand during last month's Tea Party Convention. She said she didn't have a good answer to media criticism at the time, but now she has one: God did it too.

A supporter sent her the biblical passage Isaiah 49:16: "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me."

"If what was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it's good enough for me, for us," Palin said. "In that passage he says, I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you. And I'm like okay, I'm in good company."

Here's a link to the video from the fundraiser, courtesy of The Washington Post:

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/....html?wprss=44

No fair. No one outside of the US can view that video.

Try it here:

http://vodpod.com/watch/2557961-snl-...ovie-raw-story

SNL and NBC are pretty vigilant about shutting down sites with clips from the show, but this one might work. I didn't try it, though, at the moment. It worked for a friend some time ago.

And by the way, what do you mean by "no fair." We invaded a country for no damn reason just so we could enjoy the freedom to have Hulu all to ourselves. What did Canada do?

It seems that the clip won't work anymore. Thanks anyway, smc.

If Sarah Palin was a tranny....:drool::drool:

There was a story in today's newspaper that originated with the Canadian Press news service. Sarah has been a very vocal critic of the Canadian health system. Apparently this past weekend she said that her family used the Canadian health system when she was much younger. Here are a couple of quotes taken from the news story.

I especially like the following quote.

(note: I have no idea whether or note both of these quotes are accuratet)

Damn! I forgot Olbermann showed the entire thing. Good call, aw9725.

That was very good. Thanks, aw. :respect: I could probably like Sarah as person (if I ever met her). Sarah as a politician and especially as a presidential candidate gives me the creeps.

Yea, I'm all too aware of that. It's another one of her shortcomings.

Imagine if Sarah Palin, Lisa Ann and Tina Fey were all trannies and they all had the same look going on. Now imagine getting in a gangbang with all three... ;)

Well put, however ...

On the one hand, Sarah would probably be pretty damn hot with a cock. On the other, she would probably be an even bigger dick than she already is.

Yes, but at least she have one good head on her.

That's actually really funny, but interesting at the same time.

Mmmm, Tina Fey with a cock, wearing her glasses.

Represents worst of bumper sticker slogan politicing.
Has she even bothered to govern?

She will go down in History as one of the many footnotes from the decade of Hell. She would not have been elected Treasurer of my Senior High School Class.

What skills does a sr high school treasurer require that a governor doesn't?

She's not a governor anymore. She works for Fox News.

She should do a duet album with Shatner.

I have nothing against her. I just don't agree with most of her ideas, but it's a free country.

I think we have the same bangs. I showed up at a Halloween party two years ago without any costume, and people thought I was trying to be Palin.

So I shot them.

I thought they looked like moose.

So she only possessed those governor skills while she was a governor? How does that work? :confused:

She never possessed those skills. Being a governor does not require any skills other than the skill of getting ppl to vote for you. Palin is an individual with negative worth, her mere existence is a detriment to the human race as a whole.

When somebody believed the dinosuars were around 4,000 years ago, they have to be a nutter.

Anna, you left out getting rich people to give you money so you'll do their bidding.

You're not making sense. You say the only skill a governor requires is the skill of getting elected, which she obviously was. But then you say she never possessed those skills. Hello? Anybody home?

Ahhh now that's what I call making sense.

As a residant of the UK, we dont know much about her, But she IS really HOT!:turnon::turnon::turnon:

i think shes pretty

Aiden & Brayden
 

Hey there...Am I missing something? Whats with the Irish/Gaelic name bashing? I apologize if I'm over-sensitive to this, but these are beautiful, ancient names, & I am very proud.

Here's some info:

Aiden
The boy's name Aiden \a(i)-den\, also used as girl's name Aiden, is a variant of Aidan (Gaelic), and the meaning of Aiden is "fire".

GENDER: Male, but occassionally used for female.

ETYMOLOGY: Little fire; fire; the little fiery one. Anglicized form of Gaelic Aedan/Aodhan/Aodhagan, a pet form of "Aed." The Gaelic female form is Aednat/Aodhnait. The name itself comes from the word "aodh," which means fire. Aiden can mean "fire," "little fire," or "ardent." It is commonly interpreted as "little fiery one."

PRONUNCIATION: a(i)-den/AY-den

ORIGIN & HISTORY: Aiden is a modern version of Aidan, which comes from the early medieval Gaelic word Aedan. Aedan was a pet name of the Gaelic word Aodh meaning fire. Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne was a 7th Century Irish Monk who established a monastery on the island of Lindisfarne in England. He was known to give away gifts from the King to the poor, including a horse, presents and food. The main miracle attributed to Saint Aidan was that his prayer changed the winds, redirecting a fire to defeat the enemies. The name was common in Ireland until the 10th century, and has been revived in the 19th and 20th century in Western cultures with ties to Catholicism or Ireland.

The name Aiden first appeared in history in medieval Ireland, and is commonly attributed to the Irish monk Saint Aiden of Llawhaden.

Brayden
The boy's name Brayden \b-ray-den\ is a variant of Braden (Irish, Gaelic), and the meaning of Brayden is "descendant of Brad?n".

GENDER: Male, Female.

ETYMOLOGY:
BRAYDEN (masculine) "Wide Hillside"
BRAYDEN (feminine) "Freckled"

PRONUNCIATION: Bray-den

ORIGIN & HISTORY: Brayden in the masculine form is of Old English origin.
In the feminine form its origin is Welsh.

Other given meanings of Brayden are derived from the alternative spellings, such as the Gaelic, Braden, meaning "Salmon" and from the Irish surname "O'Bradain" meaning "brave".


So, I hope maybe we can all appreciate these beautiful names a little more now...Thanks for reading...
Oldawg:respect:

Since this name discussion started with respect to the names Sarah Palin gave her kids, I just want to point out that those weird names are most likely the product of Sister Sarah's functional illiteracy ... nothing more, nothing less.

My gripe isn't with the names per se, it is with the parents who name them that because they think it is a "cute" name to name their baby. C'mon! You are naming a future adult, not a baby. The name should fit the person that is going to have it. Aiden is a manly Irish name only if your son grows up to be a huge muscular giant with a Lemmy or Fu Manchu or other type of facial hair.

Odds are that any child named like that nowadays has zero Irish ancestry and I guarantee you that any woman who names her baby Aiden or Jayden or Brayden did so because she 1) thought it was cute or 2) did it because that's what all the other moms are doing.

Naming your progeny should have alot of thought and consideration; it should not be done because a certain name is popular. Think of all the other moms out their who have named their kids Aiden or Jayden and now think of how many other kids are going to be named the same thing. Can you imagine a class full of Aidens, Braydens or Jaydens? The attempt at individuality has failed and is being parroted by millions of others. I can also guarantee you that he will end up being another one of those shaggy, ass-hugger jeans wearing emo kids that listen to My Chemical Romance or Green Day who has zero self-respect for himself and constantly cries for the approval for others.

Naming your demon spawn should not be a fad, it should show thought.

You never fail to give me a laugh. :respect:

If i had the chance I'd probably give her one, I mean she's quite sexy in a MILF kind of way

Since you don't define what "one" is, GCharles, I'll concur. I'd like to give her one good smack across the mouth for constantly lying, just like my grandmother used to do to my cousins (I was the good kid :-) ).

I think "one" in this case means "a good schlonging". Unless we are going by your definition smc, in that case, it sounds like somebody enjoys BDSM...

I'd like to see Sarah Palin in leather or latex armed with whips and chains! :drool::drool::drool:

Postman, of course I knew that "a good schlonging" (or "a good shtupping," as my grandmother would have said) was meant. I simply took advantage of the ambiguity to make my point. And no, it has nothing to do with BDSM. I just think she needs a good smack across her mouth.
