Why don’t you try discussing the topic for a change?
I'm waiting for you to amuse me. Do something funny again. You've already demonstrated your absurdity on this thread by foolishly accusing a well respected Freeper of making death threats. And you'll notice by the replies that you have received, you were being mocked for your foolishness. Now do something else that's funny. I'm waiting.

While you're waiting, perhaps you can explain what Onyx meant in her post #32, since she has fallen amazingly silent on that topic.

[mkjessup]

I have three words for you and the rest of your Palin hating pals on this forum.

I have three for you too:

Stay on topic.

You can join Windflier over there in the circle marked "can't quite come up with an honest answer, to an honest question."

Point me to one post of yours on this thread that is on the actual topic, ie, the article. If you can't do that, don't expect anybody to treat you seriously, you are just wasting everyone's time by trolling.

I was agreeing with you at 51, with reference to your answer to: “Yet in an op-ed published in The Arizona Republic on 26 Mar. 2010, Palin herself admitted that she had “respected McCain” for years before 2008 and expressed “deep admiration” for his repeated “willingness” to stab conservatives in their backs.”

I was trying to express that Rab’s attack was rather primitive and ineffective.

Oh, Thanks.

[Chunga]

She’s not going to run.

I beg your pardon ma'am:

Is Alan Keyes going to run again?

Point me to one post of yours on this thread that is on the actual topic, ie, the article. If you can't do that, don't expect anybody to treat you seriously, you are just wasting everyone's time by trolling.

My first post was #80, and it was a legitimate question posed to my ol' pal Lakeshark, and he saw fit to answer back without the need for personal attacks or insults, which quite frankly puts him head and shoulders above most of the crowd in this thread tonight.

My next post was #84 directed to Onyx, and it too, was a legitimate question regarding her #32 to Rabscuttle385, and all it said was:

"That post looks like a threat directed at another FReeper.
Surely you didn’t intend that, now did you Onyx?"

Note, no personal attack, no vitriol, nothing but a question, posed politely. From that point on, the Palin Rabid Response Team swarmed all over this thread screaming, wailing and shrieking.

I'm sure Sarah would approve of such behavior.

NOT.

[militanttoby]

Stay on topic.

Hardly believable that you can write that given your posts on this thread.

Read the article yet? Your thoughts?

[Windflier]

"Why can't you just answer the original question, which was:"

OK, so was Sarah lying about McCain being a "real conservative", or did she really believe that he was?

And I gave you a perfectly reasoned answer to your question. One that most adults would understand as indicating that it's YOU who need to apply your own observational and analytical faculties to divine.

You may as well be asking why Obama is what he is, or why so many Americans voted for him. I could explain it all to you, but it would take far longer than I have the patience for in a single post on an internet forum.

If you want to participate in this discussion, then you should have the requisite analytical acuity and background knowledge to sort out the basics of what's being discussed.

It's really that simple. I'm sorry that it escapes you.

[mkjessup]

Read #187.

[mkjessup]

I see you are still incapable of answering a simple question.

However you get points for your continued evasion.

[Windflier]

Grow up.

Man up.

[mkjessup]

After you. All you have to do is answer the original question.

[Windflier]

‘She’ asserts being an outie:

“In spite of my nickname, I’m a heterosexual male”

Mmm....I ain't buying that. It's a she. Definitely a she.

OK, so was Sarah lying about McCain being a "real conservative", or did she really believe that he was?

She made a political decision and a sense of obligation decision to help the man who brought her to the national scene. She lied, I forgive her, I understand, but wish she wouldn't have done it. It was a decision which would have been held against her by some which ever way she chose.
Here's a little secret, ALL POLITICANS LIE and all people lie at some time. I think she lies less than any other on the political scene.
That's life Pollyanna, grow up!

[militanttoby]

Your legitimate question(s) were no such thing. For example, you brought up many things in post #80, all of which were completely irrelevant to both Lakeshark's post and to the article.

And you're still trying to hijack the thread with your own trifling off topic rants.

Sarah Palin told the world with one particular endorsement at the 11th hour she was running and that was the Terry Branstad endorsement for governor of Iowa who is definitely NOT a mama grizzly, is not considered a social conservative but more an establishment candidate, had never asked for Palin’s endorsement and actually confessed on You Tube that he had never met her or communicated with her. You could tell he was caught completely off guard by it.

Think about it. Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Branstad had nothing to do with 2010 but everything to do with 2012. Endorsing Branstad makes her at least acceptable to the party establishment in Iowa. In other words they are not going to sabotage her efforts to resonate among the GOP caucus goers of Iowa, and really that is all that Palin wants from Branstad, that he tell the party big wigs to lay off attacking Palin. Palin will do the rest.

And finally if Palin doesn’t run what is she going to do with her Facebook and her Twitter. Do you think that people are going to pay attention to what she writes any more or do you think they might pay more attention to those folks running for POTUS? Sarah has got all her ducks in a row to make a run. To forgo the opportunity to run in 2012 is not conceivable imho. She has too much going for her in terms of political leverage because of the success with her many endorsements. Do you think she is just going to throw that away and abandon her mama grizzlies and the clout she now has with the Tea party movement? Not on your life.

[militanttoby]

Er, is that post directed at me?

Anybody who is still up in the wee hours of the morning.
