Gov. Sarah Palin: A Surprise Breath of Fresh Air

......practical workable solutions.....

That is pragmatism.

Being pragmatic is a no no for highly principled FReepers. If you can't act soley on principle, you are a baddy. It must be the doctrinaire conservative dogma or nothing

I think she'd be a lot of fun to hunt with.

If she came along and said: "Hey, Jack! Come with me and let's __________."

You can fill in the blank with a whole bunch of things, of which "hunt" is only one, and I'm there in a heartbeat!

Two things:

1)- For the first time in 24 years of marriage, I have seen wife Miss Emily ( a former “New Deal Democrat... “ ) actually enthused over a candidate- enough to send her money.

2)- For the first time since the 2006 election debacle, I'm running a live thread- everything I can find on Sarah Palin, constantly updated with links, graphics, and quips-- click the picture:

Sarah Palin- links, from the beginning

[Vision Thing]

I love that picture! She’ll definitely bring that bear with her to her VP office this January

[econjack]

Wow! We need to see that this clip gets wider distribution. Just what the US needs when dealing with the Arab states...a drunk VP.

[Northern Yankee]

Damn right!

What can Obama do, Go shake down people for money?

I don't think this election will be close. They don't have anything with Obama. Palin could kick his a$$ in a heartbeat.

[econjack]

I'm not even sure Pelosi (?) and Sarah (attractively feminine) are the same gender.

[econjack]

McCain has had executive experience. He has been a commander in the Navy

Running the State of Alaska counts, too. Contrast this with the Obama-Biden executive experience (zero, zilch, zip, nada, none).

Snort! Coffee on keyboard. That photo is so rich in captioning possibilities.

[Jedidah]

I’m sure they’ll just say that Biden was “tired.”

After all, don’t we all slur our words and act hyper when we’re “tired”?

[HIDEK6]

Still a bit of a "hot-house" experience.

Maybe, but in the service, the stakes are much higher.

Emphasis on leadership is much greater, and since you don't get to "pick your team," you have to be good at firing (relieving as they say) the incompetent.

[6SJ7]

Wow! Biden does sound like he’s drunk. Must be something in the french toast he had for breakfast. (Michelle, BTW, looks angry as usual.)

[syriacus]

After all, don’t we all slur our words and act hyper when we’re “tired”?

Obama often explains that his gaffes are due to his heavy schedule of traveling.

[coolbreeze]

She is a stone cold gangsta’! You go girl. I am so excited to be able to vote for her....oh yeah and McCain... in November.

LOL...that’s so funny...”oh yeah, and the other guy, what’s his name”.

[Chode]

thank you...

[CRBDeuce]

for those that noticed....

“Thursday” should read “Friday”....

[uncbob]

Joe Biden campaigning drunk in Pennsylvania?

If he ain't drunk they ought to give him a drink --he sure needs something

[littlehouse36]

Cute!
