Something for the Quaker....

Why is hating Palin sexist? Does hating BO make you racist? I show my respect to her by disliking her for her positions and her "I'm ignorant and proud of it" as opposed to "there are things I need to learn more about and I will" attitude. She is the anti-Kerry. I loathed Kerry, and Romney (do they put something in the water in Ma.?) for their smug elitist view. Palin was the same, only it was twisted into a version that said a small town mayor knew everything it took to lead the free world. Same disease, different symptoms. Gender had nothing to do with it. Its just that simple. BTW, if she was so great why didn't she finish her term as governor? This isn't a strictly anti-Palin shot either. I say the same to my (blessedly) soon to be ex-senator Mel Martinez. You told the voters you would do the job for x years and then you bail without extenuating circumstances? Since when is that leadership? In the military its called UA. For the record, I cordially despise Hillary and Pelosi as well.
FQ13

It's making me start to think that way

Yes, they SAY it's fluoride.

 So you voted for a guy who had never been in charge of ANYTHING, because you didn't like the the experience level of a  woman who was mayor of a city, and Governor of a State. Think about the stupidity of that position. I don't mean to offend you here but I can't think of another word that fits that wouldn't be even more offensive.
To rub it in I have to add,
THAT'S WORKING OUT REAL WELL

Thanks Eric, my very own thread! Actually I don't disagree with most of the posts.
FQ13 who still wouldn't have voted for McCain but does have buyer's remorse

Am I reading this correctly?  Even though you regret voting for Obama, you'd do it again if McCain were the alternative?!?

Tom you are absolutely correct.  Of the four people at the top of each party's ticket, there was only one who had ANY kind of executive experience.  Governmental Executive experience.  And Chief Governmental Executive experience.  That person was one that I found as a breath of fresh air.  Rather than being a pontificating, over-educated, arrogant windbag, I found her to be someone that reminded me of the kind of people who BUILT this country.  Average, everyday, hard-working Americans.  She reminded me of the American "Everywife". 

I admired her then for the grace she displayed when the democrats and their willing whores in the mainstream media eviscerated her AND HER ENTIRE FAMILY, almost from the moment her name was announced as McCain's VP choice.  Every time I heard Governor Palin speak she impressed me a little bit more. 

As far as her resigning before the end of her term, I can't help but think that was primarily designed to keep the state of Alaska from continuing to have to fund the never-ending stream of baseless corruption allegations that those on the left started filing the moment she came to light on the national stage, in an attempt to destroy her.  Those allegations, all of which, I believe, have been found to be without merit, continued right up until the day she left office.  The scorched-earth approach of the people that FQ supported in the last election is appalling to me.  Especially when aimed toward a candidate's family.

Let me wrap up this little rant by saying that I am delighted that Governor Palin has yet to remove herself from the public debate.  I fervently hope to be able to cast my vote for her to replace the debacle that YOU, FQ, and those of your ilk, foisted upon this country last November.

Truth be told I had intended to sit out the last Presidential election rather than vote for a RINO like McCain.  But when Palin was added to the ticket I made the decision (for which I have NO buyer's remorse) to vote for HER, and accept McCain as baggage.


Ok, rant off.  Time to take a deep breath.

 If it had not been for Palin I would most likely have voted for Ron Paul.

You know me too well Fullauto, but Palin was just the insult to the injury. I don't know if you read David Brooks' or Kathleen Parker's columns, but they pretty much have said every thing I have to say about Palin. It was mostly a vote against the party in power who had FUBARED  the practical stuff and dangerously enhanced the power of the executive branch and topped that with an anti-choice, anti-free speech (McCain-Feingold) candidate at the the top of the ticket. I didn't vote FOR Obama. I voted no. I was telling the GOP to take four years off and get an attitude adjustment. You don't reward failure, yet either way, it seems, you lose. Se C'est la guerre.
FQ13

Yes, you did vote FOR bho - there is no way to dodge that or put a nice pretty little liberal spin on it.

For a college-edumacated smart guy, you can't spell worth a crap. And you even screw up French! See above

FQ13

Yes, hating her is sexist because in hating her, you do 3 things:

1. You violate every so-called "feminist" and "libertarian" notion you presume to believe in.
2. You ignore or miss the fact that the lefties and womens' libs hate her because she is exactly so much more accomplished than all of the others, that she is exactly what the lefties have demanded for women for decades, but she is not a leftie - they cannot forgive that about her
3. You play into the same hands that use Alinsky's 12th rule so effectively

And I'm sure being from a small town and not being able to run the country will come as a really big damn surprise to Harry Truman!   

Dammit FQ, sometimes you are just so freakin' ignorant! You know only what you chose to know.

 What do you expect from the poor guy ? he has been brainwashed since he was about 5 or 6through the socialist dominated school system, then into college for truly professional indoctrination, and then into the Business side of it where any twinges of logic or Patriotism must be firmly suppressed as his  livelihood depends on not tipping off the commissars.
Before you trash FQ think of Winston Smith.
If FQ were hopeless he would have left this site LONG ago. The way to help him throw off the chains is through exposing him to truths, and relating them to things he already knows he has been lied to about. He does not have Winston's advantage of being on the inside of the lie formulation, he is only the delivery boy.

Or we can waterboard him with the truth too, but maybe that's what you are referring to, Tom.....
