Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

Except for the reality show, constant attention whoring, and Fox News commentator gig.

Aaaannnd she was almost VP.

She is only a private citizen because she walked away from being Governor because she was being attacked for being a moron. Honestly, had that offer not been made to be McCain's running mate, she'd probably still be in office.

Truthfully, had she never been made McCain's running mate, she probably would have spent a large majority of her life as Governor, and save a few late night comedians making fun of her, most of us would have never known how bad she really is. :lol:
 
Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

All I know about any of the Palins is what I read. Here is what Sarah Palin said at the time (2009) about her resignation:

Palin offered few clues about her ambitions but said she arrived at her decision in part to protect her family, which has faced withering criticism and occasional mockery, and to escape ethics probes that have drained her family's finances and hampered her ability to govern. She said leaving office is in the best interest of the state and will allow her to more effectively advocate for issues of importance to her, including energy independence and national security. Sarah Palin to Resign as Alaska Governor, Citing Probes and Family Needs

I haven't walked a mile in her shoes, but I'm not sure I could bear the personal attacks. I mean, only hours after she was nominated for the Vice Presidency, the vicious rumors that her baby was actually her grandchild began. She was criticized for bringing the baby on the campaign trail. What else was she supposed to do when she was breastfeeding? The David Letterman attack on her 14-year old (although Letterman was referring to the "slut-daughter" Bristol)--sorry, baseball joke--was ugly. Really, the worst for me was the 3rd-birthday "tribute" to that little boy, who has Down Syndrome--saying that he was the smartest member of his family and all that.

I wish the media would lay off people's families, especially their kids. The retarded kid stuff is indefensible. I'm not sure I could handle it. And although I don't know that I would ever vote for Sarah Palin, I really hate the way she is treated. I don't understand the frothing-at-the-mouth malice others have for this woman. Look how long this thread is about someone who is pretty much irrelevant in American politics at the moment. It's ridiculous.
 
Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

O God this is rich.

You're actually arguing that Palin isn't a cretin from trailertown USA.

This is what Palin got for her edukashun:


"This Statue of Liberty was gifted to us by foreign leaders, really as a warning to us, it was a warning to us to stay unique and to stay exceptional from other countries. Certainly not to go down the path of other countries that adopted socialist policies.”

"Paul Revere warned the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms, by ringing those bells and making sure as he was riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free."

:lamo :lamo :lamo

Palin, what an idiot! :lamo

I hear it does wonders for spelling.

Yea, spelling isn't this posters strong point. :lol:
 
Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

No it doesn't!

Doesn't your own postings betray you. After all, you do seem unable to spell the simplest English words, just sayin!

your violin playing might have some merit if she retired from public life after her resignaion.

But she certainly went the opposite direction, looking for as much TV exposure as possible, for both herself and her kids who desired it.
 
Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

Spent 6 years in Alaska ... yeah, I know Sarah Palin. First time I met her was in in 2004 when she was a member of the Oil and Gas Commission. Over the next 4 years, I was periodically in meetings she attended. We were responsible for tracking oil pipeline condition, animal movements, etc., using small satellites.

Your ad hominem attacks are silly.

Certainly you aren't defending dumbass Sarah because you have met her or know her? Regardless, you should be able to see the truth about her unless you are just like her.

She's looking a little rough. And no wedding ring. hmm..

And look, she's shooting someone the bird!
 
Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

Probably not even close for a guy called GB (Green Bay) Fan, huh?

Don't go where you know nothing .... oh wait, too late. You live there!

You are confused. Colorado Springs isn't in Wisconsin? You should be rooting for the Denver Broncos! Go Denver!
 
Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

Looks like the average woman after a good work out, notice the towel around her neck. Most women don't wear jewelry to work out, what would be the purpose. But she looks in shape and appears to be taking care of herself.

You need to go the Optometrist today! That Palin face would scare off an Alaskan Grizzly!
 
Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

Obama is President. Sarah Palin is a private citizen.

Wasn't she Governor and ran for... vice president...

If after Obama is president and his family gets in a brawl, that wouldn't cause much of a stir, right? Sort of like when Zimmerman pulled a shotgun on his girlfriend and everyone said "told ya".

She might not be politically relevant now, but she was very recently, and could possibly be again. As far as her children, I think children should be off-limits anyway, no matter whose children they are. As much as I hate Bush, I, too, think his kids should be off-limits - until they become adults and start acting like idiots in the public eye.

As far as withering criticism and occasional mockery, well them's the breaks when you run for office. She couldn't possibly believe that she was going to be escorted into the White House just because she was perky and cute, did she? It's not just gonna lift up it's skirt and pull it's panties down for you. Everybody gets vetted when they go into politics. Maybe perky and cute was enough for the voters in Alaska, but it's not enough for America as a whole. Candidates are vetted, and vetted very deeply. Surely she knew this. Surely. This can't be a surprise to her.

If Obama and his family got into a brawl, it would be huge news. He is the President of the United States.

Zimmerman - I assume you mean George - isn't President of the United States and never held a public office. Not sure what he has to do with this discussion.

If you're going to criticize another poster's spelling of the "simplest English words" you might want to bone up on your "simplest English grammar" - just saying!
 
Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

you are right
and even tho palin used her special needs kid as a political prop during the 2008 election, that low behavior should not make her children political targets

Wait - she used her special needs kid as a "political prop"?

You do know in this day and age we don't lock away our special needs children and hide them from the public because they embarrass us. That practice went out right after Joe & Rose Kennedy did that to their child.
 
Re: Sarah Palin's Family Allegedly in Alaska House Party Brawl

So....you just mentioned 72 in McCain's case for....no reason at all. Sure.

Ted Cruz is Hispanic. He was there for the same reason Obama was at the DNC, except Obama was there so the Dems could promote the black guy, and Cruz was at the RNC so the Republicans could promote the Hispanic guy. Thanks for proving my point. Barack Obama - biggest success story in the history of Affirmative Action.

I explained why I mentioned McCain being 72..... it was relevant only that it makes the VP a little closer to the office. A 72 year old man is far more likely . to die in the ensuring 8 years than a younger man, making the VP more likely to finish out the term that one serving a 50 year man. Its relevant only in stating how close Palin would be to the Presidency; not in any suggesting that McCain was too old to serve. That was your wrapped conclusion.

Obama and Cruz are each rising stars in their respective parties. Obama, in particular, is an exceptionally eloquent speaker. He gets to speak because of each of those attributes. In fact, each of these men, whether you like their politics or not, are particularly charismatic and have key constituencies within their respective parties. They should be speaking. I am not certain why you are trying to make a race thing here. It only serves to trivialize the accomplishments of these men.

Moreover, we have wondered far away from the point as this has NOTHING to do with whether Palin was a beneficiary of affirmative action. Deflection is but a tactic to hide a weak argument that she is not.

If a 72 year old is close to dying, then that makes Hillary a liability. You said it, I didn't.

Affirmative Action isn't just about race. It's about gender too. Your claim that Palin was the biggest beneficiary of Affirmative Action is a false claim. Obama would be a bigger beneficiary. He has a job. She doesn't. Getting "picked" for something you don't achieve isn't a benefit.

Cruz was selected so the GOP could appeal to Hispanics. Political reality. It isn't my fault that your partisanship doesn't allow you to acknowledge that the Dems wanted to target the black and progressive votes.

Yet in February 2017, no one would pay attention if Obama and his family got into a drunken fistfight?

Who do you think you're trying to convince here?

Obama would be a former President. She is not, is she?

I'm fine with you guys have a Palin obsession. It's amusing.

But, if the 50 million-plus people who voted for her on McCain's ticket had their way, she most certainly would be the potential future one.

Deal with reality. She isn't President. Never will be. Her purpose on this Earth is apparently to drive people insane. It's working.

hmmm, i see her other kids were at this celebratory event, as a family
was the little prop at this pugilistic affair, too (don't even say the stretch hummer was too small to bring him along)
if so, i will accept your point
if not, it confirms mine. to her, he is a political prop. one to be taken in front of the camera at the appointed time and place
THAT speaks to the character of sarah palin. she is absolutely an opportunist and uses that special needs child to advance her personal political agenda
 
It's wise for the liberal media to keep Sarah Palin in the headlines,
makes her more money so she can afford things such as a stretch hummer.

And it keeps Obama failures out of the news, funny how that works.

Please, she loves the fact that people are paying attention to her. She has no career otherwise.
