And got better concessions for the people of Alaska in the process.

Which is to say her vision of the natural landscape is of a whore awaiting ravishment by the fossil fuel industry. She's just a pimp or perhaps madam would be the better word.

Palin brings the most misogynist responses from the left. Dismissed.

Oh, shall I make racist remarks in the same sentence as Obama and see if you find it truthful? Your language, like your opinion, is lacking judgment and most importantly, truth.
 
Ill say the same thing in this post that I said in the other post:

AGENT J said:
Refresh my memory wasn't she involved in corruption in alaska and money wasting and a possible embezzlement or a scandal(s) that involved filtering money. It's an honest question because I can't remember or was it just political BS?

Regardless at this point I don't think Plain is capable of being a reliable government official. I don't see her being able to NOT stray from duties and involve herself in other things like self promotion/propaganda for herself. A decade ago maybe? But not now. Just my opinion.

Yep just looked it up, guilty of ethics violation and there's also questions about money handling procedure errors and costly oversights. So now thats even more reasons she shouldn't be considered.

It was on topic. As a matter of fact I started this thread. I can understand why you don't want to address the issue. Your posts were stupid and nobody wants to look stupid. I will gladly let you off the hook with the white flag post cause I am sensitive an ****. If you want to discuss this issue intelligently let me know.

You created a strawman (look it it up since you obviously don't know what it means) and then try to argue you won, that's classic conjob logic. I accept your concession that your straw man was stupid and you have not won anything. Now go lay down and let the adults talk. Someone will let you outside eventually.

Oh yeah I'm sure you have been critical of those on the right calling Hillary a bitch. Oh yeah, you haven't been. You should get off that soapbox of yours, less you look even more hypocritical.

How much of Alaska might be "ravaged" by the wealth and job creating fossil fuel industry? 0.01%? Sapiens has been changing the "natural landscape" since the stone age and will continue doing so until our species becomes extinct.

I have never called Mrs Clinton a bitch, not once. A witch many, many times though.

Yeah because that is so so much better. :roll: Either way, to hear that some on the right are "suddenly offended" about comments towards Palin is laughable at best.

2 wrongs makes a right for you? Hypocritical is running to say that sexist comments against one woman make them okay against another one. Grow some morals, sir.

People hating on Palin cracks me up. She's like the parish priest who through confession absorbs and carries the confessioners sins so they won't have to. She is a "hate magnet" if there ever was one. She has done nothing to justify the hate she has gotten.

She deserves a look. She still needs to be confirmed.

EDIT: I think she is stuck at home baking cookies:

Sarah Palin Just Gave A SHOCKING Update About Her Husband Todd... Tragic!

I don't hate Palin. I just don't see what she brings to the table to improve the VA.

The VA is not that big of a bureaucracy by DC standards, and she has been an outspoken advocate for veterans from the get go. She was also the governor of a state, which has quite a bureaucracy of it's own.

The person to mange VA must be an advocate for change that benefits veterans. For all the crap she has taken, she deserves a slot. Again, the problem is her husbands injuries. I guess he screwed the pooch big time, plus riding alone was stupid. But we all know that, don't we? :roll:

LOL apparently, I hit a nerve. I didn't use that tact towards Hillary or any of her supporters. I was disgusted by her corruption and thought she was a terrible human being but misogyny wasn't amongst the things I used towards her, the fact its the first thing you reach towards to disparage Palin says volumes about you.

Care to make a substantial remark or are you sticking with whore and madam references?

Don't let facts and reality disturb the ignorance that produced your post. Here is a clue for you. The topic IS about Trump's pick for the VA. Moronic name calling will not change that. It it the future head of the VA that can or will make the situation better for the veterans and neither Obama or Hillary will have anything to say about that.

Present some positive facts about how Obama has been so good for the VA. Palin could do better accidentally than Obama's appointments have.

I do not have to, nor do I wish to. This is not about Obama or how bad you think he did. This is about how well Palin could possibly do in the future. That is what matters, how we will treat our veterans from now on and I submit that there are better qualified people than Palin to head the VA and the veterans certainly deserve the best. Palin is not it.

It is unfortunate that you would settle for something accidental for our veterans instead of seeking the best. Than again I suspect that partisanship is more important to you than the right thing.
