But don't you know that if you are a women you can't be a great leader,
Or don't you know that unless you go to Ivory League School, your brain is lacking to be President,
Or don't you know that unless you love abortion you can't get women to support you,
Or don't you know that unless you have been in government for 20 years you can't be trusted to President,
Or don't you know that unless you are loved by Hollywood, or the media you can't be President unless your name is Reagan, Nixon, or Bush.
Or don't you know that being the biggest target of hate of any Potential Presidential Candidate for longer than anyone and taking the heat is not the type of experience needed to be President.
Or don't you know that having 5 kids and one being hated by Planned Parenthood is the kiss of death for a woman.
Or don't you know that unless you keep your government job, you are are a quitter, while being the voice of millions of Americans is not a better job.
Or don't you know that having the views that most Americans is populist and is mob rule!
Word to Sarah Palin, forget being President, it's for men or liberal women.
And you know Governor, that believing in GOD really hurts any chance you may have had.
God himself could not make you President! It would be to hard for him!
Should have done my spelling and grammar and forgot baseball!
But I can read and understand a thread!
But I'm very competitive and know a winner when I see one,
SARAH PALIN IS A WINNER!!
Nice Statler Bros reference!
LOL
TIME magazine: Can Palin Be Elected?
For several decades, it has been an article of faith among politicians and political analysts that no candidate can win a U.S. presidential election unless he can dominate the broad center of the spectrum, that all candidates on the edges of the left or right are doomed. Barry Goldwater's "extremism . . . is no vice" campaign of 1964 provides the classic evidence, reinforced by George McGovern's 1972 defeat in 49 out of 50 states. And since G.O.P. Front Runner Sarah Palin relies upon a base of support that is on the far right wing of the Republican Party, some experts have long declared that if she wins the nomination, the G.O.P. would simply be repeating the suicidal Goldwater campaign.
(...)
National opinion polls continue to show Obama leading Palin by an apparently comfortable margin of about 25%. They also show that more moderate Republicans like Romney would run better against the President. This suggests that Palin is not the strongest G.O.P. choice for the 2012 election and that she clearly faces an uphill battle.
(...)
If popular unhappiness with domestic and world problems finally comes to rest at Obama's doorstep, voters may begin to see all sorts of previously invisible virtues in Sarah Palin.
(...)
Palin cannot hope to win, however, unless she moves beyond the hard-line conservative base that has sustained her since she first appeared on the national political scene as a spokesman for McCain himself. She has no experience in Washington politics or foreign affairs. Both Congress and the federal bureaucracy are as unfathomable to her as they were to Obama. Indeed one of Palin's major supporters in the Senate notes that the Alaskan is uncomfortable even visiting Washington.
(...)
Worse perhaps than the verbal gaffe is Palin's relentlessly simple-minded discussion of complex problems.
Full disclosure:
I may have changed a few names here and there. It's not actually Gov. Palin this Time Magazine article's talking about here, but Ronald Reagan. Yes, the Gipper was really running 25 points behind Carter as late as March 1980 - a mere eight months before the election. Simple statements, no experience in DC politics or foreign affairs, supported only by the rightwing fringe - completely unelectable, that Reagan fellow, wasn't he?
I hope you know I'm for Palin,
The slow “dalereed” didn't know that the thread has sarcasm in it and I'm for Palin!
Yep, I recognized the sarcasm. I'm a big Sarah supporter, too - not too many true, pro-AMerican politicians around.
Like Reagan, she's intelligent, understands the BIG picture and now has a better understanding of the marxist media who she continues to toy with to expose their bias and low intelligence.
ROFL. English is my SECOND language in case you couldn’t tell by my nick.
The point was that you jumped on dalereed over a TYPO when factmart’s posts are near incomprehensible; thus the hypocrisy. Since you didn’t approve of dalereed, you stooped to jabbing him over a typo. Factmart was given a pass because you approved of her incomprehensible posts.
Silliness annoys me at times. As do those that scream about “the rules!”. I come here to keep up with current events, not kindergarten cop posts. They grate on my nerves after hours of it. Obviously, I need to go back to bed. ;)
Yeah, and I never heard you talk like this before. WHAZZUP???
Perhaps dalreed’s old computer was sold for whatever reason and the screen name has now been hijacked. From the recent postings by a DU’er.
publana, you will not intimidate me into not voicing my opinions.)
I also left out that I find “Newbie! Newbie! Newbie! Neener! Neener! Neener!” highly annoying as well. Combine this (to someone who has been a member much longer than the shrieker), the silly original post, atrocious spelling and incomprehensible grammar... well... Suffice it to say, it sent me over the edge.
Not voicing your opinion? What opinion? That you don’t like newbies that have been here much longer than yourself? By all means, voice it. You obviously enjoy embarrassing the hell out of yourself as well as Sarah by association. You simply give credence to those that tout that it is only those of lesser intelligence that are Palin fans. You do her a great disservice by posting pro-Palin threads while you are intoxicated. Save it for when you’re sober would be my suggestion.
Hey, why don’t you show your class by taking the Lord’s Name in vain like your buddy.
I have been posting 10 years and I don’t drink and I’m a guy!
Now you’re denigrating me for not being a newbie after screaming “Newbie” at dalereed. Poor Sarah. I’m beginning to think you’re a DU demwit on here purposefully trying to embarrass Sarah.
I think I’ll take your advice. Your thread is decidedly lacking in intelligent posts. Heave a great day!
A guy? No way! :P
The founders wanted citizens to be representatives of the government. They wanted citizens to serve one or two terms and then have a new citizen come and serve.
I think Sarah Palin has the qualities that George Washington needed to be President.
BIOGRAPHY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON
George Washington may have attended a school near his home for the first few years. Later he went to another school, either in Fredericksburg, Stafford County, or Westmoreland County. He excelled in mathematics and learned the rudiments of surveying. But he was not taught Latin or Greek like many gentlemen’s sons, and he never learned a foreign language. Nor did he attend college. His formal education ended around the age of 15.
His older brother Lawrence died in 1752, and shortly thereafter George inherited Mount Vernon. He also obtained Lawrence’s place in the Virginia Militia and received a major’s commission — the first step in his military career.
George Washington spent the years between 1759 and 1775 as a gentleman farmer at Mount Vernon. He worked constantly to improve and expand the mansion house and its surrounding plantation. He established himself as an innovative farmer, who switched from tobacco to wheat as his main cash crop in the 1760’s. In an effort to improve his farming operation, he diligently experimented with new crops, fertilizers, crop rotation, tools, and livestock breeding. He also expanded the work of the plantation to include flour milling and commercial fishing in an effort to make Mount Vernon a more profitable estate.
In June 1775, Congress commissioned George Washington to take command of the Continental Army besieging the British in Boston. He wrote home to Martha that he expected to return safe to her in the fall. The command kept him away from Mount Vernon for more than 8 years.
It was a command for which his military background, although greater than that of any of the other available candidates, hardly prepared him. His knowledge lay in frontier warfare, involving relatively small numbers of soldiers. He had no practical experience maneuvering large formations, handling cavalry or artillery, or maintaining supply lines adequate to support thousands of men in the field. He learned on-the-job; and although his army reeled from one misfortune to another, he had the courage, determination, and mental agility to keep the American cause one step ahead of complete disintegration until he figured out how to win the unprecedented revolutionary struggle he was leading. Washington had little conventional military education to discard. In an unconventional conflict, he learned from experiences that perplexed and frustrated his opponents.
In his First Inaugural Address, Washington confessed that he was unpracticed in the duties of civil administration; however, he was one of the most able administrators ever to serve as President. He administered the government with fairness and integrity, assuring Americans that the President could exercise extensive executive authority without corruption. Further, he executed the laws with restraint, establishing precedents for broad-ranging presidential authority. “His integrity was most pure”, Thomas Jefferson wrote, “his justice the most inflexible I have ever known, no motive of interest or consanguinity, friendship, or hatred, being able to bias his decision.”

Sarah Palin has more schooling then George Washington.
He administered the government with fairness and integrity, assuring Americans that the President could exercise extensive executive authority without corruption. Further, he executed the laws with restraint, establishing precedents for broad-ranging presidential authority. “His integrity was most pure”, Thomas Jefferson wrote, “his justice the most inflexible I have ever known, no motive of interest or consanguinity, friendship, or hatred, being able to bias his decision”.
I believe Sarah Palin would be like George Washington.
As President, Sarah Palin would administer the government with fairness and integrity, assuring Americans that as President she could exercise executive authority without corruption. Sarah Palin would execute the laws with restraint. Sarah Palin’s integrity would be most pure, her justice would have no motive of interest or consanguinity, friendship, or hatred, being able to bias her decision.
Washington had little conventional military education to discard. In an unconventional conflict, he learned from experiences that perplexed and frustrated his opponents.
Sounds like Sarah Palin. She learned from experiences that perplexes and frustrates her opponents. Experiences such as hunting, fishing, gardening, playing team sports, being a student that graduated from college, bachelor’s degree in journalism, television sports reporter, wife, mother, mayor, chaired the Alaska’s Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, Governor, and first Republican woman Vice Presidential candidate.
She did all these things and her critics say, “she not smart enough.” So, all the people who hired her, voted for her, worked with her, did it because she wasn't smart enough! Her experiences of just being a woman and doing what she has done, makes her smart enough!
Some people think she is not smart enough ... they think that no woman is smart enough.
Neither Obama nor Hillary Clinton can match her experiences and no one in politics today can match her in the most important qualities that Jefferson said George Washington had.
He administered the government with fairness and integrity, assuring Americans that the President could exercise extensive executive authority without corruption. Further, he executed the laws with restraint, establishing precedents for broad-ranging presidential authority. “His integrity was most pure”, Thomas Jefferson wrote, “his justice the most inflexible I have ever known, no motive of interest or consanguinity, friendship, or hatred, being able to bias his decision”.
I think she would prefer supporters who can write comprehensibly.
When illiterates write vanity posts about her, it makes her sad.
To 97 - You betcha!
I love intellectuals like pissant and his ilk (like you) that reject conservatives and push losers like Hunter-2012.
This is standard fare from factmart.
