Gee, is it about me now?
Ad hominem, the signature argument style of the Paulbearers.
But you ferretted me out, you insightful sleuth, you.
This individual posting on the internet using a computer (and sometimes an iPhone) is, indeed, not a true member of the Amish faith.
Well done, Encyclopedia Brown. Next up, the case of the overchewed pencil.
LOL! The “Boss Man” smoked him out!
Most folks on this site are fantastic, then there’s a handful who think they are intellectually superior to...just about everyone. :0)
“She will never be heard from again.”
That is what is wrong with the political process in this country.
The “standard” that people are applying to candidates is impossible for any human to reach. We expect a 100% clean personal life, and then expect them to be able to answer any question perfectly and error free.
It is an IMPOSSIBLE standard.
Medina is toast. And that’s a good thing.
Do you have a list somewhere, because frankly, I don’t want to waste my time reading “identified troll” disruptor garbage.
Do all California conservatives think like you do?
Thank You!! same for Sandy Burglar
She’ll get past those interviews. She has been in the news cycle now for 7 days over something as simple as hand written notes and that takes a great deal of skill.
I used to have a minor part in broadcasting and her skills in controlling the MSM are simply stunning and I wish I had even a fraction of her talent in this area.
Much of the problem with interviews were actually those of Steve “Wonder” Schmidt. His job was to make sure she was prepared and to set the rules of the interview (very common to do so). He “epically” failed on both counts several times. He did not earn his salary and should not be employed in that position in any Republican campaign of the future.

Those two things are not even mistakes on Palin’s part. What are you thinking to buy into such a transparent attempt at attack journalism when they couldn’t find anything real to attack? You have to understand that the mainstream media will make up things to attack . . . an example is the “Bush Doctrine” where Palin was alleged to have made a “mistake.”
See Krauthammer’s article regarding:

You wouldn't be referring to the (D) Senators would ya?
Can’t hold an intellectual candle to the left? You’ve got to be kidding me. Who are these leading lights? Olbermann? Matthews? King?
IBTZ
Poor dumb Sarah. She has the libs and RINOs crying 24/7 and she doesn’t know why.
Amen. Medina blaming Beck is like a Major League prospect blaming the pitcher when, at batting practice, he slams the bat into his own forehead a few times, then stumblers off the field, streaming blood from the face, and yelling "First Down."
It fits.
Clearly the women hasn’t been Qualyed and she will be a powerful political force for years to come. All I’m saying is that those interviews were bad regardless of your personal feelings.
I know the story behind them. Normally people don’t do their rolling out interviews while meeting world leaders and not sleeping all that much. Also the McCain people (maybe on purpose) did not do the normal media things like set a format, set a theme, agree on question types etc. Furthermore they told Mrs. Palin she had nothing to worry about and Couric was gonna pitch softballs.
So I understand that gotcha feeling that people have about this. I’ve been tired or distracted and given less than perfect technical responses in my field. It damages people’s opinion of you. In politics perception outweighs reality (Obama as a true intellect always rubbed me the wrong way) and I defend Mrs Palin to plenty of people. She ran a huge state and a town. That takes brain power. At the same time her negatives with independents (the people who make or break national elections) are based around the idea that she isn’t qualified to be President because she isn’t smart enough.
Largely a perceived issue I know but it is the biggest hurdle she has to get over to win the respect of the middle of the country.

“Because they can’t hold an intellectual candle to the Left!”
The left’s beliefs in Keynesian Economics eliminates any possibility of their pretentious claim to intellectual superiority.
Taxes don’t matter? Deficits don’t matter?
Bwahahahahahahaha.............
You forgot Ronald Reagan in your ignoramouse list.
LOL!
You have officially been *pinged* - LOL
