Why does Palin get under ya'll's skin so?

[Peter Parka]

Cant believe some people here are trying to say that Obama is a bad orator and in the same breath saying that Palin is intelligent. I'd love to be on the same drugs as you.

Fact 1: Obama is a bad orator, he's good at reading speeches, very bad an saying anything impromptu

Fact 2: I never said that Palin was intelligent, it was said in the thread that she isn't as stupid as the left makes her out to be. I don't know her and have never met her, something tells me that she's a lot smarter than she's been made out to be, but I don't know that for a fact either way. I know that she's said some very stupid things... but the same can be said about our dear leader as well as Biden... perhaps Biden even moreso than either Palin or Obama.

You guys don't like Pelosi because she is liberal.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't like Pelosi because she's a heartless, ruthless, power-hungry, Machiavellian bitch.

This is wild. I asked why Palin's enemies won't let her fade into obscurity, and it instantly becomes a dogpile on her! I only caught 1 maybe 2 attempts to actually answer the question. It makes me imagine a group of people bitching about a piece of trash someone left out. Instead of tossing it in the trash and forgetting about it, they circle it and curse it, kicking it around disgustedly. Then when someone does toss it, someone pulls it out so everyone can complain about it some more. :willy_nilly:

What is her power over you??

I think it's pretty obvious. Who else do they have to hate that's actually relevant? Sure, they can throw digs at Rush and Hannity all day, but that doesn't get them very far since neither of them has any political aspirations. If it wasn't for Palin, they wouldn't have any up-and-coming conservatives to bash. They might actually have to shut up and focus on issues, but god knows neither party wants to do that.

First, I don't believe McCain chose her, the party did to breathe some life into it. Second, I think you need to stop with the Dems are this and Reps are this. There is an inherent flaw in the party system because ultimately it is not US that chooses the candidates who represent us, it's who the parties push down our throats.

I often chuckle to myselves* how often those of us that sit on opposite sides of the aisle agree on issues, but as soon as we find out what parties we're affiliated with, we divide. Sorry Froggy, you're all hoots when it comes down to it...you both fling the same mud.

I think if people got their heads out of their parties** asses and actually listened for a change, that would make all the difference.

As for Sarah Palin, she doesn't scare me because I'm a liberal, she scares me because she is part of the fear-mongering machine that sways the masses***. She may have a lot of ideas and thigns**** to say, but it's a lot of drivel and crap...are there Dems that do that too? Yes absolutely and as a Dem I'm appalled by them. But don't insult me with a broadstroke generalization that ALL Dems or ALL Reps are this or that simply because they have an opinion about one particularly uneducated, drivel spewing politician.

Oh and just for fun to further prove my point especially at 3:38 on...watch the point counter point:

Ok, this is a bit off topic but I went back and read my post...I nearly jumped out of my skin at my own grammatical errors and then saw the edit button was gone. SO, please note the following:

*myself...seriously? Myselves? I must have been have a split personality moment...and so I must've I.
**parties'...I forgot the possessive in that one...oops...
***This one is grammatically correct, but I should clarify that I mean the masses who are lazy and love to suckle from the teat of tv soundbytes.
****things...not thigns...sheesh

PS: seriously...watch the video...regardless of which side of the aisle you sit on...it's funny.

Just admit it, the basis of your dislike is her political leanings. If all was the same except she was conservative you'd be falling over in love.

I would love to let her fade into obscurity, if you notice I don't bring her up or start threads about her... But if you are going to start a thread titled " Why does Palin get under ya'll's skin so?" then I'll answer it.

I don't need anyone to bash... Hell, there are 100 senators and 435 state reps to bash at any given moment... well actually there are one or two I like, but the vast majority are scum.

Palin needs to fade away and that's not the first time I said that.... so you guys need to quit starting new threads about her...

I repped you for it, I thought your post was that good. :thumbup

Absolutely not. Winning for the sake of winning is surefire catastrophe. There's only one person I know of currently in the federal government that I trust to do the job as the Constitution is written. The rest make the used car salesman stereotype look noble.

I think the current ones in control see this as a chance to distract the party loyal so that they won't be tempted to look too closely at that tome of a bill.

cuz she's dumb

 

[Accountable]

Lots of dumb people write things on facebook that don't make national news. It would be one thing if a right-wing columnist wrote positive things about her, but this is the left dragging her up at every opportunity. Don't you find that odd? The right was ready to write her off until now.
