She is 46, she looks mahvelous with FIVE kids and a non-stop work and travel schedule.

TEN more years, at least!

Surely she will have enough experience by then, even for liberals! :awe:

How many more positions does she need to quit, and failed public policies does she need to implement before she garners the type of experience that you think liberals will accept?

:hmm:

The biggest legitimate gripe against Palin was that she, a small-town mayor and then newly-elected Governor, did not have enough experience to be a heartbeat away from leading the free world. And she lost the election.

So what does she do? Quit her Governorship half-way through her term, go on a speaking tour, and become a Fox News contributor.

Now that's experience we can all use! :rolleyes:

LOL, are you kidding? Liberals will not accept a WOMAN as their Presidential candidate, R or D! She could do anything and be anything and those misogynists will pick anyone but.

Even female libs can't accept Palin for her successes or accomplishments as that would invalidate their position that only kowtowing to abortionists and a welfare state should lead to political power.

No, she has to go her own way and time will tell if the great majority have had their eyes opened wide enough by the dismal policies of the One Party Democrat Government.

I am looking forward to women like Rep. Kristi Noem (R-SD) and minority standard bearers like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) to be the new face of the Republican Party.

The biggest legitimate gripe against Obama was that he had no executive management experience in either business or in government, literally had run nothing but campaigns and even those were through proxies and legal challenges, and once elected had stopped being a serving U.S. Senator after only two years and spent the next two years running for another office. All he offered were good telepromptered speeches.

And yet you elected him, to the country's tremendous regret as demonstrated by the election results of a few weeks ago.

I don't know that Palin will run or be elected, but surely we can do better than what we have had to deal with for the past two years.

*I* didn't elect him (I didn't even vote for him.) Your party putting up losers and running to the right, rather than center when up against a liberal Democrat is what elected him.

Good going, Republican numbnuts. I can see you're going for the same strategy in 2012! :$

McCain is right wing? Since when?

McCain was the darling R of the Dems when he carried their water. Did not help him one bit when it came time to choose, though he has a whole lot more experience and sacrificed so much more for this country than our golden child Prez and would certainly have led from the center as opposed to the exclusionary left of the current gubment.

The Pubs lost the election not because of Palin, they came close enough to winning because of Palin that the most vicious personal attacks against her and her kids were brought to bear, a scorched earth approach had to be implemented as she turned the election dynamics completely around.

Anyway, as we all know, the country spanked the tax and spend D's this month, but they still hold the Senate and the White House. Not enough Senate seats, nor the White House were up for grabs to make it a sweep, though they did sweep the seats that were available this year.

Let's see if the Dems learned their lesson or not. Let's see if the Pubs learned their lesson or not. My guess is that the Dems have not as they continue to spout the SOS. The Pubs at least are paying lip service.

Revisionism is so unbecoming...

Senator Clinton was not rejected by Democratic voters; her campaign won the primary states. It was her campaign's astonishing mismanagement of the caucus states that doomed the Clinton campaign.

Clearly the Democrats who seated 13 of the 17 women currently in the Senate; who seated 57 of the 74 women currently in the House of Representatives, including the first woman Speaker; who seated all three of the women currently on the Supreme Court; who very nearly nominated the first major party woman candidate for president then made her Secretary of State; clearly, these are the misogynists in the current political scene, placing these women in unprecedented positions of power only to conceal the depths of their misogyny.

Traveling the world as Secretary of State. Where's Sarah Palin? Oh yeah, shooting her reality TV show on TLC.

Which, btw, is not a bad show, especially if you can watch it on a large screen in HD.

My wife and I caught about half an hour of both the first and second episodes. We have been to Denali, all around the Kenai Peninsula, all around Fort Richardson and Anchorage and really liked it there, so we will likely tune in some of the subsequent episodes.

I found it a pretty good introduction to the State of Alaska and I think it is a good commercial for Alaska tourism. While Palin and her husband really get into all of the outdoors stuff, Bristol doesn't look too thrilled to have to whack halibut. LOL!

are you really that fucking stupid?

Hillary has been very very popular for some time among the left. She's an incredibly qualified candidate.

Liberals have no fucking problem with a woman.

This is how stupid you fucks are: you hate Palin, therefore you don't like women?

wtf?

No, PJabber, the left doesn't like UNQUALIFIED IDIOTS. it has nothing to do with gender. Hell, Sarah Palin fucking hates women.

No, McCain is not right wing, but instead of being the "Maverick" he claimed to be and sticking with his centrist views, he began to panic and listen to advisors, becoming a Lemming that ran to the right on every issue. That is what lost him the election, even moreso than parading around a dingbat who "reads all of them" newspapers and beleives physical proximity of her state/town to Russia gives her "foreign relation" experience.

The Pubs lost the election not because of Palin, they came close enough to winning because of Palin that the most vicious personal attacks against her and her kids were brought to bear, a scorched earth approach had to be implemented as she turned the election dynamics completely around.
WTF? It will be a long, long time before the party of Karl Rove can ever claim to be victims of "viscous personal attacks" and "scorched Earth" tactics. Why didn't McCain win the 2000 primary again? Oh yeah..

Anyway, as we all know, the country spanked the tax and spend D's this month, but they still hold the Senate and the White House. Not enough Senate seats, nor the White House were up for grabs to make it a sweep, though they did sweep the seats that were available this year.

Yea! We get lip service. That'll pull us out of the hole both parties put us in over the last several decades!

It must have been nice to be in the majority to tout those numbers. I haven't looked it up, but who is left? :hmm:
For the 112th Congress, the Democrats have only 12 of 17 women Senators and only 46 of 70 women Representatives; their Senate share has fallen from 76% to 71% and their House share from 77% to 66%...

I expect that over the next four years we will see those percentages change as each two years the Dems will lose more and more seats in the Senate.

Anyway, I am really loathe to keep on this slight diversion. The class distinctions and tally count of male or female, race, national origin, religious orientation are a liberal game that I don't want to play. I would rather just see the best qualified person in the job at hand.

Which is, no doubt, why you originally raised the specter of the Democrats as the Party of Misogyny?

Aren't they? :awe:

Actually, it might only be that liberals and progressives are, while the Dem Party is just coincidentally characterized as such by its liberal membership. Just as they can be characterized as racists, being as they are all for distinctions by such classes. :awe::awe::awe:

Conservatives apparently won't accept one, either.. lest Palin would've been at the top of the ticket in 2008 and would be polling better now.

Conservatives love to do it too. Good luck getting through the Republican presidential primaries if you're in any way not a Bible thumper.

Yeah PBLABBER, Palin sure is getting a lot of experience... quitting a real government job to go out there on the campaign trail spouting talking points (answering to no one & shielded by her handlers), making appearances on dancing with the stars, "starring" in a folksy bullshit reality show... give me a break.

It must be kept that way. They shouldn't be ignored, which is what you seem to be suggesting is acceptable every time you talk about their agenda.

Not ignore, but when faced with a larger threat that is FAR more successful at getting it's agenda passed, one should focus their attention on that.
