Happy Birthday, Sarah Palin! [W:249]

Smartmouthwoman said:
If you woke up the day after elections and found out Sarah Palin was your new president, I'm sure you'd feel just like I did when I woke up to President Barack Hussein Obama.

However, I believe the outcome would be much different since Palin actually has leadership skills.

Leadership? Well, she was first out the door when it looked like there was money in them thar speaking engagements. Probably broke new ground- was there a Governor who up and quit before?

She walked away to keep from costing the state millions defending herself against people out to destroy her. Quitting was actually a noble thing........

Hey! That's good!.......Oh, wait a minute......that was serious?

She resigned the Governorship because she figured out that she could rake in a whole bunch of money on the lecture circuit (plus a bit from Fox Nooz). The Governor of Alaska doesn't make nearly as much.

I'll give her credit for, probably, also figuring out that her window of opportunity might be short and that the gravy train might not last forever.

Really, deep down, I don't even blame her. I'd probably do the same.

But she did not resign for pure and noble reasons.

Griftin' ain't easy!
 
I really enjoy that 5 years after becoming a nationally recognized public figure and then becoming "irrelevant" she STILL lives rent free in the heads of so many.

Is that what they mean when they say that the 1% work harder than the rest of us?

It's all so clear now.............

Maybe I really should be grateful. And more respectful of my "betters".

Funny, but I think leaving a job to pursue personal pursuits (w/o worrying about health insurance) is the Dems new American Dream. Or does that only work for Democrats?
 
You know....I can picture Todd and Sarah at home........

Sarah: "What am I going to do, Todd? McCain nominating me for VP has made me a nationally known public figure. I have a following. There are people who would pay to hear my visions of what this nation can be. I can't ignore the demand of the free market. That would be socialist."

"But how can I turn my back on the people of Alaska? They chose me of their own free will. They need me!

Todd: "It's a tough one. You're on the horns of a dilemna."

Sarah, near tears: "Heavy is the head that wears the crown....."

Todd: "You could flip a coin?"

Sarah: "That's good. The choice would be made for me. No one could accuse me of putting my own interests first!"

Todd: "Remember that two-headed nickle I use to try to win free beers with?"

Sarah, smiling rogueishly: I knew I married you for a reason!"

**************************************************************


Should I quit my day job and rake in the cash as a comedy writer? My current employer doesn't really need me all that much.


Oh, well..........Happy birthday, Sarah.

Governor Palin celebrated her 50th birthday on Monday and received well-wishes from people all over America. What a remarkable woman who had an impressive career in public service before she ever hit the public spotlight. She sets the bar high for American women. Not to mention she's stood her ground for the last 5 years against all the hate the media could throw at her or her family to fight for this country; scrutinized and vilified by the media every way possible and still standing strong.

​


Hope you had a wonderful birthday, Sarah. You're an inspiration to conservatives everywhere. :2usflag:

Happy birthday Sarah!!! :2party:

"Everything is relative"(с)

But! Sarah Palin learns. Obama and Biden only regress. Sarah Palin is a private person. Obama and Biden are the two most important official in our state. Obama and Biden brings real harm to our country. Over the last 150 years, U.S. never been so close to a civil war as now. Obama and Biden lost all allies in the world. Obama and Biden lost to Russia the war of information. Our enemies are laughing at us, our former friends just puzzled shrug- "What happened to the Great Power?". And it all happened during the reign of Obama and Biden. Not Sarah Palin. And who is hack now?

The U.S. is nowhere close to a Civil War. This paragraph here is utterly absurd.

Palin is a complete utter idiot. She is an amateur cult personality and that's about it. I've seen her in action during interviews and instead of talking knowledgeably about issues, she simply spews partisan general talking points because she doesn't actually know what the issues are or how to talk about them.

generally i find those who call her an idiot to be closer to that term than Mrs Palin. She is much smarter than Joe Biden who is one of the least intellectually capable men to ever hold the VP position. Far dumber than say Dan Quayle. What Biden had going for him is over 30 years of living on the public coin in office and he was able to master that government speak that sounds like the utterer is knowledgeable and competent.

One day you wake up. But it may be too late for you. Because you wake up in the camp. Concentration camp, that well able to build the Socialists of all stripes.

At least Republican candidates welcome her help on the campaign trail... more than we can say for Democrats & Obama.

Really? Can you show me one prominent GOP member that welcomes her on the campaign trail in their corner for 2016? The GOP only welcome her in the 2014 trail in non-contested places, I doubt ANY will welcome her for the 2016 trailblaze.

The GOP welcome her only in easy places. I doubt any contested place in 2014 or 2016 would welcome her. Again, I don't wish her death, I just wish her failure on the campaign trail.

Yet many consider Obama an idiot as well yet he is in the most powerful position in the U.S. right now in international eyes not one election later, but two. The same goes for those that call Obama an idiot. I think he is a lousy president, but an idiot he isn't.

You need to move on dude. It's 2014, not 2008. :roll: You can still hope for that old battle ax Hillary to run. She's about as qualified to be a leader as one of your buttnuggets.

Yet there are still Palinites that want her to run. I think she stands as good as shot as Santorum, Gingrich, or Perry did. I wouldn't want to see that, but at this point its wide open if those guys could get a shot with the GOP. I'm pretty sure I will either go third party or not at all, but I'm afraid what the Dems are going to show.

Saying that Palin sets the bar high for anyone is like saying that Vladamir Putin is a champion of family values -- the question isn't how high she has in fact set the bar, but how low the bar must have been to begin with for it to be considered high now.

It's hard for me to take seriously someone's ideological commitment when everything they do in the name of that ideology is wildly profitable, sort of like I'm not impressed by the piety of the pastors who head up megachurches.

nah he's not stupid. even if his race was the main reason he got into HLS, an idiot could not graduate from that school let alone make major honors. Biden is rather dull though-he just has enough intelligence to sound smart to people who don't pay attention

Ya know in 2008 I thought it was a sealed deal with McCain with Palin and I thought Obama would lose. That was an election where I finally realized that projection was greater than substance. I don't think McCain or Palin would have done better necessarily but I know they wouldn't have shoved Obama-care down people's throats. I still think that voting for McCain would have led to even more wars than we have now, but I cannot obviously prove that. Much like those that said if Gore were president, things would have been worse cannot be reality proven.

The only regret I have is voting for Obama in 2008 because afterwords I finally realized that the Dems AND Republicans are nothing more than power hungry idiots fighting for control using the government for their own perspective petty sacred cows. I didn't vote for Obama or Romney in 2012.

I haven't voted for Dems or Republicans since.

The one thing I absoultely hate that Obama has done is ram policies down people's throats and gun control legislation. I will admit though I think Obama is worse than GWB even though the comparison wasn't up for election.

I didn't say Biden was smart. If you want to start a thread about Biden's intelligence, I'd be inclined to slam him as well.

Palin still has big support with many in the GOP. There is still a chance that she will make a run for it. I think her ego is such that it is almost a given....maybe not in 2016, but 2020 after Hilary's first term.
