The Palin Factor = Biggest Joke VP choice of all time

[HappyAndFriendlyAlways]

I love laughing at people that say time and time again that this woman is ready to be president if needed.

Your Daily Politics Video Blog: People certainly are incredibly jazzed about Sarah Palin. That tour de force ABC interview, the prolific earmark record, and of course all those "Bridge to Nowhere" lies. The Palin Factor rolls on!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sSX04ryfQc

This will go down as the worst VP pick of all time. All her lies are slowly coming forward. Her earmarks are massive. Her lie on the bridge to nowhere is so sad, and proven she lied.

Just like McCain/Bush/Palin, so sad those silly rove evil Republicans

Jon Stewart Annihilates Sarah Palin's Media Surrogates

Obviously you have never heard of Dan Quayle. :-?

Palin was chosen because of the extremely sexist notion that women are too stupid to do their homework and will just vote for a women regardless. That to me is a joke.

[chess9]

Obviously you have never heard of Dan Qualye. :-?

Palin is worse because her hair is worse and she doesn't have a low golf handicap. She MIGHT, however, be able to spell potatoe, erm, potater, erm, uh, well, you know what I mean! :)

The Jon Stewart piece is brilliant. Hypocrisy is so ugly...and Republicans are full of it.

Obviously neither one of you have heard of Thomas Eagleton or Spiro Agnew to name a few. :mrgreen:

You can't spell either, eh?

Oops.....typo. When you post as much as I do, you have to type FAST!!!

Now fixed. :)

[Steady Eddy]

Obviously you have never heard of Dan Quayle. :-?
Yes, Quayle, and before that Spiro Agnew, Nixon's running mate was pretty unknown. When Nixon picked Agnew, George Wallace was running as a 3rd party candidate. Nixon wanted someone who would appeal to Wallace's supporters. I think Quayle was picked because Bush wanted somebody young on the ticket. Both of them were republicans. Do the Democrats ever pick inexperienced VPs? There's: Gore, Mondale, Humphrey, LBJ (who did become pres), and Truman (who also became pres). None of the inexperienced Republican VPs ever became president, but Agnew almost did. He resigned in a scandal, and was replaced by Ford. Otherwise he would have been pres. Then, maybe, we'd know how they might work out!

[HappyAndFriendlyAlways]

Even Fox seems to be rolling against her a bit. And when they are saying that, when they are basically calling her a direct liar, that's pretty big.

The McCain economic adviser is annoying though. As are the rest of the people who you can tell are on McCain's campaign. Stop spinning, stop question dodging and stop lying!!!

[Mick]

the democrats would not find the joke funny if she ends up helping mccain winning the presidency.

[Cup8489]

if sarah palin becomes president (likely, mccain is definitely getting on in years)

i will move to mexico. no joke.

Is it my imagination or have you become much more partisan in recent weeks?

Rumor on the insider Democratic blog (not available to the public) is Obama is trying to figure out how to dump Biden and put Hillary on the ticket. Comes down to a legal issue, don’t be surprised when it happens. Voters have no say, it is the leadership who decides.

Obama has shown he is not ready for leadership.

1. Suppose to get the troops out of Iraq in 60 days after taking office, now it is suppose to have in his first 2 years.
2. Suppose to increase taxes, as he believed they did not help the economy. Now he says we will have to keep the Bush Taxcuts, otherwise we could have a bigger recession.
3. Selected Biden as VP, now he has second thoughts.

[Enlightened Coelacanth]

Biden has already floated this idea to see what the public reaction would be. Ooops, looks like Obama made a big mistake.
That's what happens when a community organizer tries to take on the world's biggest job and when your strongest suit is your massive ego.

I think the Dems are hoping people will laugh with them, not at them.

He floated this idea? That seems odd. When?

I think it'd be a mistake. It would look desperate. Biden would have to fake a heart attack or something.

Of I can see it now, just like Redd Fox on "Sanford and Son"

Oh Elizabeth, I'm commin' , it's the big one!

The Stewart clip demonstrates a very salient point in american politics: namely that most people do not vote on issues or a comprehensive narrative of the issues. They vote based on ideology, or political tradition (my family is republican, so I am republican, hence I vote republican).

The double talk and contradiction in the bi-party system is sempiternal in american presidential elections, because each candidate tries to appeal to the sensibilities of the other party enough to get his/her party constituents on board, and win a few of the others.

Bottom line, the republicans have held the white house and Congress (majority of the time) for years, and the country is no better.

The destruction of the surplus, the return of realism in foreign policy and balance of power strategies of international relations, the overall decline of America's soft power influence and economic interdependence and the decrease of the quality of life for americans as a whole should signal the need for change.

Even if you don't believe that Obama can necessarily bring about this change, he is still comparatively better than the status quo.

Palin and McCain are simply laughable at this point. Why do you think that Obama has won the college educated and professionals vote, the populist demographic, those who are educated understand the issues. On the other hand, uneducated (white) workers, and millionares are stuck on the ideological and philosophical disposition of the republican party which gaurantees either or both their social status and wealth.

[HappyAndFriendlyAlways]

Ya, Alaska's oil is 3.5% NOT 20%. There she goes again stretchin' the truth or lying! Don't worry she has been forgiven cause she's like-able with her folksy stories and she has a first dude! You've been punked!!

That is exactly why McCain is trying to direct the election in to a culture war rather than a debate about real issues.

Wow, an entire post without you injecting race? Well almost because you did mention uneducated White workers, but other than that you left race out.

Bravo, there may be hope for you yet. :mrgreen:

BTW - I hope you are not among the people who actually believe we had a surplus in the 90's.
You must know it was a projected surplus, and that those projections have turned out to be inaccurate.
That is not to defend the out of control spending the Bush administration has engaged upon, but let's try to keep it real.

And you, Eviscerator, an entire post without mentioning Political Correctness...there might be hope for you also. Wow, the world can be so surprising at times.

BTW, the right wingers over the years have tried occassionally to push the myth of no budget surpluses under Clinton, but an agenda driven myth is what it is[/U]: http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/09/27/clinton.surplus/
and http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/during_the_clinton_administration_was_the_federal. html. I hope that you are not one of those people that believes everything you hear from the righties re: Clinton.

Happy and Slappy- Obama has NOT addressed Planet X, maybe you can slip up next to him at his next campaign stop and bring it up? You know, explain to him the way you bored us to tears for weeks on the impending doom- That will set you in good fashion with the FBI.

Speaking of FBI, Could Obama get thru the application screening process and be an employee there? With some of his associations, I would hazard to say "no".

Given yesterdays news, I think there is damage done to the Republican ticket, as people will (slightly-wrongly) tie the current executive office and economic causes together, when it is a matter of multiple office holders, and years coming.
Obama is hurt worse, though; Increasing taxes for huge new initatives and trying to tax our way out of the current deficit, Both OBAMA keystones, are bad economics for quickly changing conditions.

And those of us on the other side of the political isle love laughing at people who think the obamessiah is ready to be president. Woo-de-doo!

Please explain what "ready to be President" means to you.

^ And Storm, explain what "Couldn't pass the application portion of the FBI hiring process" means to you

Just for kicks I called my brother tonight, who is a Special Agent in Charge of a large regional office for the Bureau (and a veteran), and asked if Obama could pass the app process at the FBI. He chuckled and asked who the idiot was that brought up the question. Manfred, you really don't understand how simplistic and out of touch you are to reality. I honestly like your style but you just don't get what is happening around you in the world. God bless you though.

he means well, but he has a few medical conditions that he cant control :shock:

Picking Biden was not a mistake. It was actually a much more solid and respectable choice than the reckless one McCain made.

The community organizer made a good choice for the country. The addled old senator made a horrible choice for the country.

Palin is ALREADY providing daily material for The Daily Show. The clips and quotes just keep on coming. She's a female Bush, except with a lot less experience.

Well I guess it depends on what someone interprets "surplus" to mean. If you are running a deficit there can be years where the deficit is reduced. However a reduction in the deficit is just that, a reduction of debt, not an actual surplus. You do not have to buy into "right wingers" rhetoric to understand the difference of economic terms.

[MIGHTY MANFRED THE WONDER]

Sorry. Accepting your veracity, I guess I would shrug and say file it under "Things that have changed, sometimes not for the better"
Under older/outdated clearance screening for FBI positions, I suggested that known associations/associates (and, frankly drug use history) would have ment Obama's long history with Ayers, his weatherman bomb planting wife and their ilk would have seem to have disqualified his application.

Certainly I know first hand that other levels of clearance would have been yanked for less- A "political" clearance, and clearances for political office/convenience have resulted in folks stuffing papers down their pants and running out of libraries.

I have forgotten how standards and requirements "evolve" over time- So that now the FBI's overiding personnel goal is to "look like America", over being our ever vigilent police for our safety and democractic institutions; A real pity, noted in passing.

And a note, Happy and Slappy- Electrifying blood and Planet X poster- Let's not bring anyone's "medical conditions" into this. When you first came on to this board with the most bizare series of posts in it's history, switching over to far left politics actually made you look even stranger, I'm afraid.

[Dedans Penthouse]

Palin .... She's a female Bush, except with a lot less experience.Au contraire mon fraire~!
I bet that "female Bush" has lots of experience......swoon.....
