Very snarky and intellectually dishonest...

I'm not a big fan of Obama. But, to imply that all libs lie... lol. All politicians lie. Conservative or liberal. THey spin the truth to fit whatever story they're trying to sell. Including Bush. He and Cheney did a lot of damage to the US. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Obama's going to be able to do much to fix it.

This thread is getting way too close to breaking the new no politics discussion.

lol...funny stuff, that. No really, I laughed a bit at the satire.....mainly while thinking of myself as a mob-boss. It's still making me chuckle (cuz I could so pull it off)

Personally, sarah was horrifying to my mobster-type self for 3 reasons:

1. She was an obvious pandering to the disenfranchized women of hillary (ironically, polls showed this had an opposite effect. Women did not like the lady, generally speaking)

2. Her place had this way to increase the more frantic and unpresedented worries.

3. She really knew very little about national and international politics...or at least she had a very hard time verbalizing this when in interviews.

This led to 2 other reasons she freaked me out:
- by the end there was the terrible thought of what if McCain died and she became president.
-she seemed like a female version of Bush

McCain's campaign officially met its coffin with the market's fall and his then flub in response. But Palin, to me, was simply padding for the coffin's interior.

Well.....the pro-abortion/abdicate all personal responsibility women maybe. Otherwise she fired up women. My mother-in-law is a big lefty and she really liked Sarah.

Um....huh??????

True as far as International issues anyway and she should have been better prepared for the interviews.....but compared to Biden's gaffes.....small potatoes.

True...the market crash did McCAin in....however Palin brought energy to a lifeless campaign and propelled McCain into the lead....until the September crash.

I'm sure that there were women who did. But according to the polls at the time, many more didn't. Personally, I never liked the woman because I felt like it was a cheap pandering to women (ie. me).

Um....huh??????

Going by memory, but I'm pretty sure there's a reason McCain felt the need to say Obama wouldn't completely decimate the nation. There was this mounting amount of unprecedented fear (that sometimes bordered on racist) that began to circulate around this time. Palin did not help it at all.

True as far as International issues anyway and she should have been better prepared for the interviews.....but compared to Biden's gaffes.....small potatoes.

Cuz she wasn't given as many oppurtunities. No seriosly though, I can't remember Biden's gaffes nearly as much as how badly Palin dropped the ball. She didn't just botch the 1 or 2 interviews that came her way but almost sounded incoherent. It was like she couldn't get past to whatever talking points the people who prepped her for it beforehand suggested she stick with....even when it wasn't exactly pertinent or even remotely related to the question. when SNL can do almost an entire comedy skit by quoting you nigh verbatim, it's not a good sign.

True...the market crash did McCAin in....however Palin brought energy to a lifeless campaign and propelled McCain into the lead....until the September crash.

It gave him a momentary boost, but it was already dying before the september crash because of the reasons above. But after the crash the thought of having McCain, who insisted the economy was perfectly fine prior, backed by Palin, who was not strong on what was essential for the multiple problems facing our nation as the most prominent figures in American politics was not a pretty idea in the least. If he chose a republican like Romney, who has a pretty good record when it comes to money issues, McCain might have had a little shot.
