[+8] - engineer - 07/08/2009I've never painted Palin, Quayle or Gingrich as cartoonish figures. I respect Gingrich (though not his policies) and I've always felt that Qualye received a bum rap. My problem with Palin is what...

@dyslexia,

... because the "decision now allows her to avoid the difficult task of running for president while serving as governor" according to FOXNews.

I'm watching her announcement. It seems to me that she has been remarkably honest and responsible in her decision and her expressed motives for it. She is acting in a consistency with her expressed values and a candid assessment of the situation that is truly unusual in contemporary politics. Those who have pilloried her so viciously and complacently should contemplate the rather grotesque hypocrisy behind many of their actions.

Perhaps she'll be required to score very high on a promotion test in order to qualify for the manager position. After all, what is good for firefighters without regard to race or gender ought to be good for former governors, ALSO. Accordingly, her future prospects are dim.

refreshing to see the factual, objective and dispassionate arguments put forward by Bear and Debra. Truly impressive.

That would be quite annoying! (I was hoping Palin would run in 2012 and thus the Democrats would win even more easily again.)

@georgeob1,

i don't fault her for her drive or ambition

if however, she were to be trampled by a moose tomorrow, it wouldn't break my heart (by the way the same could be said for any number of politicians, both sides of the fence, including my own prime minister and a couple of former liberal prime ministers, yeah i'm talking about you chretin and martin)

@Bi-Polar Bear,

I believe that shes going to enter into a significant period of facial enhancement so that she can re- emerge into the public light all young and rehotted up.

@farmerman,

Do you really think a facial can help Bear?

@H2O MAN,

georgie, it's time to face the fact that a woman who makes comments such as "Obama is paling around with terrorists", or better yet, Michelle Bachman is urging people not to fill out the census forms even though it could cause her own district to disapper with the Congresswoman as well, it is tugging on the barest amount of critical thinking their fans can manage. Frankly I agree with Bear, even though it is somewhat insulting to shithouse rats.

That's George's "factual, objective and dispassionate argument", I suppose...

I dunno. I'm still just trying to even make sense of her words. I mean, take this paragraph, straight from her own website - CAPS included:

Quote:

We need those who will respect our Constitution where government’s supposed to serve from the BOTTOM UP, not move toward this TOP DOWN big government take-over… but rather, will be protectors of individual rights - who also have enough common sense to acknowledge when conditions have drastically changed and are willing to call an audible and pass the ball when it’s time so the team can win! And that is what I’m doing!

What does that even mean? And no, the preceding and following paragraph don't provide any additional context to make sense of this with.
