Sarah Palin Speech at Tea Party Convention

[jhale667]

I'll agree with you regarding voters for both parties. I was just referring to the numbskulls who were interviwed that actually believed Fey was Palin and stated that sweyed their collective votes.

There are ignorant dumbasses on every city block within this country. Fuck, even within this site. Take Ace for example cos he's currently proving my point as we speak in non.

I try to ignore DisgrACE whenever possible.

But dude, think of the percentage of voters in PA (just as an example) that not only are still openly racist, but were even worse willing to freely ADMIT it to pollsters? Some disturbing percentage actually had the AUDACITY to admit publicly they "weren't ready" for a black President in exit polls. They may as well wear shirts that say "Proud to be an IDIOT."

There's still a LOT of mouth-breathers out there.

I couldn't agree more with you regarding the fact that there are true racists currently sitting on a couch, in a house on every corner of every neighborhood in every city or town in America. It's unfortunate.

Obama's race has zero to do with my opinion of him. He's a man just like both you and me. I simply don't jive with his politics, that's all.

Now as for Ace on the other nut... I pray that he's never allowed to vote. Then again, his vote for Captain Crunch might divert any more of his time here.

Better than them being out on the streets I suppose.

Why is it that people both often and always assume that they're walkin' the streets? Maybe they're home bangin' the babysitter? Dunno?

in the house, on the couch, right?

and there were those who didn't want a woman vice president (a heart beat away from POTUS) and voted Obama instead.

and there were also people who ONLY voted for him because he was black, and they admitted it too.

Not sure if the people you speak of outweigh the people I am speaking of, but all of the above were out there and voting.

To be honest though....you guys really did not have much to choose from.

You are right in how people decided to vote...I was amazed how disconnected many were from issues at hand.

And....how many thought that once Obama was sworn in it would only take a couple of months to turn things around.

They didn't want THAT woman.

The retarded deluded lying one.

[Guitar Shark]

Exactly.

There are much better female role models out there. If anything, Palin does a disservice to women.

[diamondsgirl]

I am sure there were people who didn't like Palin personally. But, there are also people who would never vote for any ticket with a female on it.

I have spoken to many women who would never vote for a woman. I have heard some women say they don't want "her" going through menopause while in office.

shit yes! or as robin williams said "a woman president would have no war, just every 28 days, some INTENSE negotiations"

[FORD]

I live in a state with a female governor and 2 female senators. I voted for all three of them, and each of them more than once. They piss me off when they do the wrong thing, but then so does my male Congressman. And I actually campaigned for that son of a bitch.

I have no problem voting for a qualified woman. Sarah Palin doesn't meet that criteria. I wouldn't have voted for Hillary either, because her positions were too far to the right. Like all members of the DLC, she's a Republican pretending to be a Democrat. Started her political career as a "Goldwater girl" in 1964, and never moved to the left at all, as far as I can tell.

Instead of reading and forming your own opinion, most people today are influenced by political ads and 24 hr news channels. When in depth political coverage is nothing more than trying to create scandal and facts are nothing more than speculation and innuendo slanted against whatever person that news organization happens to not like. How anyone could form an opinion of a candidate by those standards, amazes me.

I can't recall a national election that was about the issues and debates that weren't about mud slinging, veiled or blatant.

I am just as baffled by people who thought Obama would turn this country around in months. No President, be it a man, woman, white or black could do that.

First they tried to say Obama wasn't an American...didn't work.
Then they said he was a super secret Muslim.....didn't work.
Then came the "he's a socialist or maybe even a communist"...didn't work.
Then came the health care reform scare that Obama was creating Death Panels.....didn't work.
Even Palin is quoted about Death Panels, where do these people get this stuff?

Now that they used all those up, what are they bleating about now....the country is revolting against Obama, look....they elected a Republican in a state that has always been Democratic. The country has spoken and they are sick and tired of Obama's radical liberal ideas....please, that dude won because he ran a better campaign, period.

Everyone seems to be giving the guy shit for trying to reform health care, why? When small business can't afford to insure their employees and most Americans can't afford to buy their own insurance...it defies common sense that anyone is against health care reform. The last time I looked at the Health Care bill.....I think the took out the words Health, Care and Reform because that would upset everyone

Why are the Republicans against helping struggling Americans? Why are the Democrats so inept that with a super majority they couldn't get anything to pass? Is this what we want in Washington? Both sides are so busy following their own agenda nothing is getting done. They make their money, have awesome health care and basically don't do the job they were hired to do.

...and most importantly! Why in the fuck does anyone care what Palin says. She quit her job in politics and is not running for any office or doing anything remotely connected to helping this country in it's time of need. Jesus, even lazy no-talents got together to cover We Are The World. What has she done to save America? Other than quitting as Governor when it got too hot for her. Meaning there were investigations into her nefarious acts as Governor...oh, she quit to save America by going to work for Fox....phew, I can sleep better knowing she now works for Fox News because we all know to save America you have to work for Fox, not the government.

She has no meaning in my life other than the occasional glance in the news briefs to see how she made an ass out of herself again.

When she runs for office, I'll debate her merits or lack thereof....as of now she's nothing more than a celebrity and her opinions have about as much weight as what Madonna thinks of the situation in the Middle East.

Getting a TV show or speaking at a rally, just means you're popular and can draw a crowd.....bitching about Obama and saying lame things like cutting taxes and I love America......geez, she's a maverick

If BHO was a woman, you would have voted for her?

[FORD]

Yep. I voted for Obama based on what he campaigned on. Not his gender, his skin color, or any other such thing.

I'm also less than pleased with the results so far, but I don't regret NOT voting for Hillary at my caucus in February 2008. And by then, no other options were available. I was supporting Kucinich until he dropped out after Iowa. And was still hoping either Al Gore or Howard Dean had jumped into the campaign before that.

We'll probably see a woman President in our lifetime, but I don't see anybody currently on the political landscape who is likely to be that woman. Maybe if Barbara Boxer was younger? (I believe she's in her mid 60's) Not that a Senator is going to be elected President again any time soon.

The first woman president will probably be a governor. And one who actually served a full term, and didn't quit. Or have her husband do her job, like Moosealini did.
