And, um, strategery.

Now we kick in that fiscal conservativeness that needs to be engaged, and we progress this state with $57-a-barrel oil, Ms. Palin said.
And, um, strategery.
But she totally knows the difference between Africa the continent and Africa the, uh, country.
When we talk about Africa, there.
She goes on to say I want to be able to help also Americans to know that they can trust their media, which suggests that the English language also big changes has gone through some, since she got her, y'know, "degree", there.

I'm completely surprised that Adda and Midwinter have been parroting talking points from the McCain camp so completely. It's clear that McCain is done and those "aides" who are doing their best to scapegoat Palin are only trying to secure their own future in the party. And if Palin is a part of the future, they have a huge problem.
Hiding behind the backs of journalists and afraid to use their own names or provide any shred of evidence, the response here would be completely different if the victim of this nonsense was a Democrat. That it's being dished out with a huge helping of sexism only makes it worse.

1. Palin
1. An applicant lacking even basic job skills
2. Someone supremely un-self-aware or lacking any relative sense of what he/she does or doesn't know.
HR sent me another Palin for the marketing manager job.
3.\t Palin\t
n.
1. Pejorative term that refers to an incompetent, impractical, irrelevant or incapable person who has been appointed to a position of great importance.
2. A person who holds authority disproportionate to his or her requisite ethics and qualifications. Derived from John McCain's controversial 2008 Vice Presidential pick, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
John was recently made principal, but everybody thinks he's a Palin who can't do the job.
My new boss is such a Palin - he took my deserved place because the CEO is his personal friend.

We're parroting McCain "camp" talking points? Is there even a McCain camp anymore? Palin is a horrid stain on the American political landscape, but the fact of the matter is that she completely energized the GOP base. The problem is that that base is becoming increasingly boxed in in the South.
Should she be the nominee in 2012? No. It would be horrible for a America. Good for Democrats, but bad for America.
I think, similarly, that if they try to run Bobby Jindal they'll just look like they're trying to offer up a conservative Obama.
In the end, as I've said elsewhere, I think it is in the best interests of the GOP to sit down and figure out what it's about. For 40 years, it's been about diving the country by riling up the worst energies in the country. Since 1994, it's been about electing a legislature that will abdicate its responsibilities and serve the president like a lapdog and b) destroy democrats by any political means necessary.
I'm hopeful that the GOP learns how to not act like a party of dicks and will show an interest in principles, rather than an interest in standing for standing for principles. I'm also hopeful that Obama will govern like a grown up.

Well, not maybe a 'camp', but a bunch of low-lifes taking shots without the guts to show their faces.
I'm not sure the southern base is boxed in' as much as Obama's candidacy brought out a lot of new voters to the polls. Will that hold for 2012? I don't know.
If he governs well and doesn't go overboard, it may not even be an issue.
I don't agree with the 'horrible' part. I think that there's a lot of scrutiny for the Oval Office job, and if she really isn't up to it, she'll fade. I do think she's a smart and capable woman, but McCain's last minute bombshell announcement meant that she didn't have any time to get up to speed on federal files, or really pull a coherent campaign together.
That probably won't stop him from running though. And again, it's good for the GOP to show it has support from all quarters and not just that 'base'.

As I've said for months, the GOP needs this time in the wilderness. I don't agree that division has been purely a GOP trait. The Democrats are also well versed in the ways of that Force.
That will require new bold leadership and standing up to the neo-con wing of the party.
I hope we get it.

She has very obviously shown she is not up to the job. She was under consideration for months and knew it: I think the dumbest question to come out early was: "what exactly does the VP do all day?" - any governor should know the answer; she still didn't know very late in the campaign, thus showing not only her blatant ignorance but her complete lack of desire to understand, both of which make her a horrible choice for 2012. She simply doesn't care about anything and it was obvious.
If she and Camp McCain couldn't get things up to speed, then that only proves they would be incapable of properly dealing with a major crisis: economic, terror or natural.
That the conservatives are even considering Palin for 2012 scares the heck out of me.

Blatant ignorance must be contagious. The VP's role has varied substantially during administrations.
Aside from the strict constitutional role in the senate, the VP can be a world away from the Presidency, doing the cross country speech circuit and lobbying Congress. Or the VP can function as a CEO, running the business of government under orders of the President.
These roles have varied by administration, not parties.
There is no boilerplate answer to how a Democratic admin views a VP as opposed to a Republican one.
There have been whole decades where people wondered "what exactly does the VP do all day?"
Many have even called for the role to be abolished. To suggest there is a simple answer is misleading, at best.
Dude. You're Canadian. You live in Canada. You don't vote or live here. There is no "we" here.

Your defense of Palin is strange. From conservative politicians to pundits to columnists to party insiders to independents, to liberals she was/is an embarrassment.
Nothing to do with religion right?

You're doing the same thing conservatives have been doing for years with Bush.
Making Excuses!

It's high time we stood up to the neo-con AND religious wing of the party and go back to being fiscal conservatives and pragmatic foreign policy statesmen.

For some, it's all about abortion at the risk of fucking up everything else.
The Republicans could run a fucking ottoman, and if it were solidly against abortion, for unrestricted gun ownership, and railed unreservedly against Godless liberals, there would be a constituency defending it against charges that furniture isn't fit to be president.

Thanks for calling me ignorant. I appreciate that.
Palin obviously could not and still cannot state the functions of the VP as stated in the Constitution, much less provide any kind of historical interpretation. This was but one example of many.
Regarding coming up to speed, what if the US faced another 9/11 the first week of a McCain/Palin administration? Would people then say that she didn't have time to get up to speed in order to effect a response? Katrina?
The right is already suggesting that Obama is heading for too much change right off the bat in January, but the same media people said that Bush needed to show strength.
It all brings back memories of the wonderful bill O'Reilly spouting off about Spears' sister's pregnancy and then defending Bristol's. Opposite opinions on the same topic are correct on different days simply because the Right, Inc., must always be correct.
O'Reilly, Pfoten-whatever, Rove, in their own words:

"I'm like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I'm like, don't let me miss the open door,"
"And if there is an open door in '12 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I'll plow through that door."
Oh, and it's all GW's fault.

Who are these traditionalists, do they have pull?
These two alone have a huge following that believe everything they say.
I hope they prevail, Brook's take on it,
She ain't going away.
Canadians are dying in your American-led war in Afghanistan. Dealing with AIDS in Africa depends largely on US pharma interests. If New York or Washington gets nuked, the fumes will probably reach my house.
So yeah, I have a stake in this. Deal with it.
How does the religious right present a barrier to fiscal conservatism?
Aside from their support of Israel's existence, how does the religious right present a barrier to pragmatic foreign policy?
Ok, we disagree there completely.
Isn't this what the Transition thing is for?
There's a good reason the new admin doesn't take office the day after the election.
Um, what would you expect them to say? "Hey, go for it!"
How it that any different from Obama asking God to make him an instrument of His will?
Oh, I forgot, Obama is your darling idiot.
The discussion and your quoted comment had to do with "new leadership" and "standing up to the neo-con wing" within the Rep party which makes your reply a little ridiculous. Do you want to be an American that badly?
You're even channeling Palin. Bravo.
I have never wanted to be American.
Canadian and American parties routinely share tactics and strategists with each other.
With the neo-cons out of favour in the U.S. and a Conservative goverment in Ottawa, it makes eminent sense to want to "fight them over there rather than over here."

C'mon, that cunt is the heart of the extreme right wing and Palin is her political doppleganger.
She ain't going anywhere except up in the extreme right wing, Hannity, Limbfuck etc.
This is a good thing.
Well consider me not caring anymore. This is the last time I'll make any remark/comment/picture on this useless white trash.

If God wills it, she will run again.

I'm guesing what she did for McSame's campaign won't be forgotten so I don't think any run by her will last long.
