Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

Five myths about Sarah Palin

"Yet, while practically everybody has an opinion about Palin, not all of those opinions are grounded in reality. Many of them are based more on a "Saturday Night Live" caricature than on the living, breathing, 46-year-old mother of five"

Sarah was the best of the 4 on the ticket. She is honest and has great character. I see why they lie about her. She threatens commonsense values missing in the lefties.

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

I would have to agree with that.

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

:thumbsup

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

I agree.

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

Sarah for President. But better still Michelle Bachman!

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

Sarah Palin was a political novice at the time and I don't mean experience in running the government of Alaska but she didn't have a lot of experience or knowledge at the time of big beltway politics. She really didn't have a clue what McCain was about other than being told he was a maverick but as the interview showed she was clueless really on what issues he was a maverick on.

Now that she has had time she has probably caught up a lot but at the time I don't think she was the best candidate

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

I can agree with that too, but of the FOUR - Palin, Obama, Biden, McCain, was the best choice (she is the reason I could stomach voting for McCain.)

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

I voted "none of the above"...I was bothered that the best the Rs could give us was McCain and an unknown woman who was not prepared for prime time politics

Make no mistake, she was loved by the Rs and could get them excited but that is not enough to the independents

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

Well said Prax. I thought McCain choosing her was a rather cheap ploy. That is one of the reasons I've never been that impressed with her.

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

She presented herself as an idiot.

She became overexposed, way too fast.


She did an interview with a turkey being butchered in the background. The turkey was alive and was killed all in the course of her interview!


She hardly ever appeared prepared.

McCain would have been better choosing Kay Bailey Hutchinson-- a seasoned female Republican, if he really had to have a female.

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

She never presented herself as an idiot. The ugly leftist media did.
I read about what she did the January before she was nominated. Her incredibly high ratings in Alaska confirmed no one up there saw her as the idiots do. I was shocked that she considered running and stepping foot in washington. She cleaned up state politics.

Abortion is the other issue. Libs and evolutions claim abortion is to help in "selection" of superior ofspring.
Her faith in God allowed her to love and raise her youngest.

Her desire to clean up Washington is scary for liberals like JD.

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

:blah

Barbara Walters had it out for her too, right?


I think I started a thread about starting a college fund for Palin's children, being so victimized and all.




I guess when she allowed herself to be presented witha turkey being killed in the background that was a liberal ploy to make her look dumb.

"Dumb" is not a good word for her-- "bafflingly unprepared" is the best phrase to describe her.

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

You represent the idocy of the left.

Let me spell it out.

President Bush had a difficult 8 years and was an awesome president.

He came in with business and governor experience.

Today we have an empty suit trying to go thru his second rookie year with no previous track record

President Bush said the strongest trait in a president to selct was "CHARACTER'

Gov Plain his high character standards.

Obama is of very low moral character by standards of his associations with jerks and crooks and his own lifestyle. His supporters place a low emphasis on character.

Rezco, Kihladi, Kirkpatric, Daley, Rahm, Ayers, Pastor Wright, etc and pioneers in sleazy politics.

Reagan was claimed as a man that could not win. Palin the same.

Obama has brought more dirt, corruption and racial strife than even imagined. We need a woman to clean house.

Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign,

He was a good one.
Everything Obama touches turns into disaster. Jobs? Banking? Healthcare?

Looks unprepared to me.

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

And you think Pelosi is sharp?

Pelosi: '500 million Americans' losing jobs House speaker makes big goof on how bad economy

She is up to bat if we lost obama and Biden.

Talk about scary.

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

So what about the President's own lifestyle reflects a low moral character?

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

I already mentioned this.

People with high moral character avoid crooks and thuigs.

We keep repeating things for you and you don't catch on.

An example, A person with common sense and moral fibre wouldn't be able to sit in pastor Wrights church much less 20 years. Racist, dishopnest and nasty.

People with morals would spend energy avoiding Bill ayers.

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

Sarah Palin pleads: 'Nobody tell Barack Obama what number comes after a trillion'

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

His position on abortion and what he says and did regarding the Born Alive Infant protection act say too much. He is dohonest and defends the killing of innocent unborn babies. People that support him do also. That is his core.

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

I felt like she came across as inexperienced as far as media relations, prime time politics, etc., but that's kind of what I liked about her. She wasn't smooth and polished and often said the wrong thing, but to me it seemed like that happened because she was real - not a perfectly packaged facade like most politicians (R's and D's) appear to be to me. I'm so disappointed in ALL the major politicians on both sides that with their campaign promises and lawyer speak to get around hard questions that I'd just like to see someone who's REAL, even if it means that they often screw up. I'd rather have someone screw up honestly than screw us over intentionally. I don't know if Sarah Palin is as honest as she appeared to be to me or not, she may be just another corrupt politician, but when the campaign was going on, I felt like she was imperfect, but real. And I liked that.

Didn't care much for McCain, and I do think that his choosing her was mainly to get a female on his ticket.

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

I dislike Mccain. I also see she was depicted as competant and honest in Alaska until the liberal media started changing the story on her from the moment of nomination onward.

Re: Washington Post on Sarah Palin Myths
 

There is an old saying, "birds of a feather flock together."

Another saying is "Dime con quien andas y te digo quien eres" or "tell me who you hang around with and I'll tell you who you are."

Another is, "Those who lie down with dogs, get up with fleas."

Each of the above describe who and what BHO is because of his sleazy associations, corrupt companions, and questionable promoters, and because of his ACORN activities, and because of the time he swam in and marinated in the Chicago political sewer system.
