Report: Sarah Palin quits bus tour halfway through, retreats to Alaska

Whovian said:
so, essentially, your partisan hackery is in full evidence here. She is damned if she stops the tour for jury duty.. damned if she resumes it.

Independent, my left testicle.

Partisan? Surely you jest...

You don't know me. You don't have an inkling of my political philosophies. I will say this. Unlike some...you know, like my right testicle, I'm not a right wing sycophant. And I'll share that I've voted for Republicans in major office many more times than not.

I don't give a damn who is in office. There's no elected officials existing in our current day history that gives a damn about "We the People". They are all self-will-run-riot. If you love'em, cool. But they don't love you back. However, they won't hesitate to spend "your tax money"for your vote. Keep your eyes focused on the bouncing political propaganda ball!

Oh...and I gave you a link... And it burns your lower posterior. Sorry..

Um, yes.. he did indeed report for jury duty. He was, as you have indicated, dismissed by mid day. As to any 'calls and such', you have no information that proves if they were or were not in regards to his official duties as VP. Unless you do, you can't claim with certainty that they were. Just sayin.

You should read what people post, Whovian.

The link Winston posted, again, with the relevant information quoted.

According to the newspaper, he sat in the center of the room, wearing a suit and mixed with other prospective jurors -- until he had to excuse himself to take phone calls, including one from his boss.

loved this comment:
... the Queen of Quit wants to rebrand herself as the Princess of Pause. She will not resume the bus tour unless there is more money in it

So I assume she's going to resume after she doesn't get on a jury. Because I can't picture any way a defense lawyer allows the former Governor to sit on the jury...

Doesn't make any sense. She stops the tour, heads back up to Alaska without any mention of jury duty, then once it's reported that the tour stopped she said it's due to jury duty with no further details and she won't even specify when the tour will kick back up.

I'll gladly bet a 20 dollar donation to DP that no conclusive evidence of her going to jury duty comes up and that she will not finish this bus tour at any point this year. It's over with.

So... are we on???
 
How would she know when her jury duty would be over? And why does she have to announce to the world every single millisecond of her life? I thought you people wanted to hear LESS from her?

Ok, gladly. If I win I want a statement from you saying Palin works hard to earn all the scrutiny she gets and deserves every bit of it.

Accept and it's a deal.
 
Whovian said:
If you have proof she has not been called to jury duty, please link to it. Otherwise, you're just spouting nonsense as usual.

I won't believe it till she shows us her long form jury summons.

hahahhah

So, if there is no conclusive evidence of her going to jury duty & she does not restart this bus tour at any point this year (I said restart instead of finish, which I think was your actual intent... let me know if I am incorrect there)... then I make a $20.00 donation to the board.

If, on the other hand, there is conclusive evidence of her going to jury duty & she does restart this bus tour at any point this year (again, I said restart instead of finish, which I think was your actual intent... let me know if I am incorrect there)... then you make a $20.00 donation to the board.

Assuming that all meets your approval, please reply so and it's agreed.

EDIT: I assume she need only report, right? If she does so, and they excuse her...still counts, right?

Funny how this happened around the time her daughter outed the fact that she got knocked up while drunk. It also comes oddly enough just after massive rumours (so big they even came in tabloid newspapers over here) that Todd was fooling around and divorce was on the cards..... we shall see!

Who cares about this crap? Seriously, I don't care what her political beliefs are, why does any of this matter to you? It's sort of disgusting, really, how so many people get off this "voyeuristic titillation".

Considering she is political contender and is trying to sway this country's politics I do care what her political beliefs are.

What does her daughter getting pregnant or divorce have to do with her political beliefs?
 
Obviously the simple answer is that the Jury Duty is a super sekret conspiracy perpetrated by Palin and those in Alaksa to hide her from the Media who are actually exposing her for the idiot she is by indefinitely keeping her locked away in a hidden bunker.

I mean, that's OBVIOUSLY the most reasonable and simplest solution rather than she got randomly selected for Jury Duty and reported for it.

Just to clarify. If she just makes like one campaign stop for the Republican nominee of her choice I don't consider it restarting the tour. Restarting the tour means traveling to two or three historic sights in the same process she was doing before she quit. If she doesn't start back up and if there is no conclusive evidence of her going to jury duty then I consider that a loss on your part and you make a 20$ donation in my name. As far as conclusive evidence, I consider proof of her going into a courthouse for half a day or so or any official member of the alaska state government that deals with this saying she had jury duty as good enough for evidence. I won't play a birther and require any specific form. Just seeing her at a courthouse for more then ten minutes or an official statement or a report from any official news organization (ABC, CNN, NBC, CBS) No blogs of any nature. I would also be happy to let two or three moderators of choice (I'd trust any of them to be honest of the situation) to rule who wins.

Correct. If she restarts the bus tour in the same fashion that it is now where she's traveling the country to historic sites and not just one single stop for a candidate's rally or something then you win. Also any official proof of her attending jury duty and you win. I''ll donate under your name in any fashion you want (if you want a 6 month or 12 month membership or something just say so if you win)

Yes, she need only report, she does not have to be selected. All of the above sounds good to me, just give me an approval of everything i said and it's on. I'll PM you this message also.

Let the games begin.
