And the person was McCain so your argument is shot full of holes and screaming towards the ground in flames.
I asked you some questions.
Anyone who blindly follows a Cult of Personality to their own suicide, political or otherwise, is a Kool-Aid drinker.
Sarah Palin offers Kool-Aid to the initiated. She’s not a real politician, she is a pop culture celebrity with all the political seriousness one would expect. Find me a real conservative who is informed and formulates policies. You know, the way politicians were before the Age of 0bama.
Sarah Palin is no Jack Kemp, Newt Gingrich, or Mike Pence.
She is a personality, thrown up on the TV screen for people to follow her reality-show personal life drama. Not a serious politician.
I'm with the “she gave her reasons so let's wait and see” bunch.
All else is mental masturbation and oral flatulence.
Palin ain't “out” of the conservative leadership bullpen until she actually says she is out—and she ain't said no such.
As far as 2012 is concerned,our DeMint is the obvious best choice for America,but he is the only true conservative left in the United States Senate and the body would sink into it's own excrement without him..
Thanks for the debate on this issue. I appreciate it.
I’m hitting the hay now. Good night.
It’s more important you know what Sarah said.
well said.
Who?
Carter didn’t lose because of Mondale, nor did McCain lose because of Palin. Nor did I suggest as much.
What I said was Palin wasn’t able to bring out more votes than 0bama.
It goes without saying that Neither was McCain.
That doesn’t mean it’s her fault he lost. It just means she didn’t have the support out there to help him win.
Elections are about which ticket has more supporters.
they can be supporters for any number of reasons.
There is no rule on why a person can or can’t support a ticket.
McCain’s strategy was to piggyback his election on Sarah Palin’s personal appeal. Unlike Reagan — who WON — McCain was not the star of his own ticket. Sarah Palin was. He ceded the top spot to her. But in the end, she had fewer people willing to come out and cast a vote on her behalf than 0bama did.
That is how elections are won and lost.
How many Senators have actually become POTUS?
No, Palin was the person people were coming out to see and coming out to vote for.
And there were 10 million less than 0bama had.
There is nothing but meaningless platitudes and sophistry in your posts. Nothing of substance. You say 0bama had 70 million supporters but I’m pretty sure he only got about 57 million votes. Your “facts” are pure BS and your logic is pretzeled beyond the absurd.
I’ve listened to it three times.
It didn’t help. It is what it is.
“...He (McCain) ceded the top spot to her...”
,,,In your fantasy world. In reality land, he chained her up and never unleashed her. McCain torpedoed his own campaign with statements like “Obama would be a good president”.
Now you are lying about what you have said. You said "Palin imploded in October." Unless you were assigning McCain's loss to Palin your statement makes no sense.
I am just finishing to listening to all the talking heads about Palin. The mostly using the same talking points from the commies, and your postings echos them exactly!!!
Weren't the ethics charges filed by some malevolent female blogger?
A blogger ran her out of office?
That's what it looks like
Obama won 69.5 million votes, far more than anybody in US history.
57 million votes?
How do you figure?
That would be fewer votes than either Bush or Kerry.
And fewer votes than McCain.
That would mean McCain was president now.
Last time I checked, he wasn’t.
0bama’s exact vote total was 69,456,897.
Can we vote to get that troll banned? As you point out - he is spreading his propaganda on this conservative site - I despise his using FR for his agenda.
Agreed. Her resignation is just that: resignation. Hopefully, we’ll see support for a presidential candidate who will cut spending for government schools instead of increasing it, be a man likely to be a great commander-in-chief, work to reverse the trend toward globalism and have a congressional voting record for proof instead of speeches full of contradictory generalities. Too many of the leading candidates to date have been opposing most of their constituents to accommodate their favored few.
