My girlfriend is a liberal Californian. Much more liberal than me i must say, i think i would be a republican if i was American.. well.. if it wasnt for the whole.. crazy God thing. You know.. half of them being evolution deniers or Mormons or whatever.

Anyway, she HATES the red states, she rants about how they should just make their own county because you have nothing in common, and she whines about being constantly embarrassed by the "ignorance" of the bible belt.

I know weve slated Palin to death, but be honest. Republican voters, if Palin is the actual winner of the Primary and is the forerunner in the presidential race, not just the VP. Would you still vote for them? Or go with a independant?

My missus claims that you guys would vote for her regardless. I would like to prove her wrong!

Oh and this video started our conversation. The woman is an absolute fething disgrace.




The healthiest nation in the world?!

I'd vote for her to feth off.

Bit of a nutter from my perspective.

I wouldn't vote for her, that should be clear though. I'm of the opinion that she is perhaps the single most destructive candidate the reds could put up for office. She can't win, she is only attractive to a highly vocal minority of conservatives and self identified independents.

That said, she isn't a democrat, so it still wouldn't be an absolute landslide.

Well, I can't speak for the republicans or thee democrats, but I can speak from the standpoing of a moderate independant. That being said, there is but one thought that crosses my mind when the terms "Sarah Palin" and "Presidential Candidate" are used in the same suggestion....

Oh dear, holy feth, NO!

Then I black out and wake up naked in an abandoned gym, soaked in blood, holding a brick and surrounded by a bunch of republicans and femanists that appear to have been bludgeoned to death by some sort of rectangular object... I'm not sure if there's a correlation there or not.

Probably depends on who the other candidate is, but it still all boils down to the lesser of two evils. I love Sarah Palin for the sole reason that liberals go batsh*t crazy when she's the topic of any converstion. I've never seen them so frightened of any one single person. It's really funny to watch.

Oh, and tell her that The People's Republic of Kalifornia is more than welcome to secceed anytime they feel like it.

Sorry I didn't catch
What race?
Who were the other candidates.
You have to answer these first.

I'm not voting for her, but I do think she's kind of hot.

I guess then, it would depend on what the vote was for...?

Agreed on both points, but only if Kalifornia takes its debt with it.

Oh wait... you mean live "Vote" as in cast a ballot?

She's a politician. Like any other, if she was on fire, I would not piss on her to put her out.

Hah.. i suppose she is kinda attractive for her age...

Anyway, Frazz what i mean is, if she won the next primary, you know, beat the other Republican candidates, and therefore was the choice for presidential race instead of the dem, so, i guess thats Obama right?

As ive mentioned on here before, our lass didnt vote for Obama, as i dislike him so much i talked her into voting for an independant! But my point was, if i absolutely had to pick between her and him, id pick him. I liked McCain, but Palin is just a freak. Albeit, a rather tasty freak for an auld lass!

So you're saying that if it came down to a race between Palin and Obama you'd choose the guy that had filibuster-proof majorities in both houses of Congress for a year and still couldn't get his "landmark" legilation passed? All you bro...

But don't worry. I doubt she would consider a run for president. She'd have to take a pay cut.

But yea between her and Obama, at this time, in this place? I'd vote Palin.
Not saying a lot though is it?

Vlad, sorry i dont speak teenage what does "all you bro" mean?

If you mean "its silly to vote for Obama" i agree with you.

I stongly dislike the man, but the point it, Palin is an utter fethwit of astronomical proportions. So if my hand was forced i would vote for the guy i dislike over the woman i am utterly convinced could actually bring about armageddon if she was given the nuclear codes.

You seem to have almost been offended by my decision?

Why is that?

Funny how we ignore the economic armageddon PresBO is perpetrating before our very eyes and say nothing.

At least Palin didn't run Alaska into economic meltdown.

Barack Obama has little to do with influencing the legislature. It's not his fault it didn't pass.

Congressional democrats wanting to be "diplomatic" (in this particular case, read as: p*ssies) killed that by allowing the minority to trample them (somehow).


Between that and the town hall meetings, where those "Tea party" yahoos, when presenting questions, couldn't actually be bothered to pose real questions, and instead spent their time shouting down anything that was presented to them in a rather logical light, there was no way in the holy realm of Terra that it was ever getting passed. Furthermore, now that it's faded from the public eye, the insurance lobby is gonna sink their teeth in nice and deep, and you'll never hear about it again.

A. No he didn't.
B. No he didn't.

You're a bad economist, and it's funny that you would have defended Bush as he led us into the economic apocalypse that actually happened. You also haven't been paying close attention to Alaskas budget issues.

Abama has a great amount to do with it. he let the letwing elements of the party go amok on the GOvernment Spendathon plan which poisoned the well for everything after. Further, he's stated he's focused like a laser beam (tee hee) on the economy at least three or four times now, and then two days later starts talking about his godawful healthcare plans again. news flash ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID.

She worries me tbh, although as a Brit shes not much of a problem for me. Well unless she gets into the oval office then who knows what would happen.

I did find this earlier and did wonder if it was a attempt at a Palin/40K cross.

Wasn't banking reform, the stimulus, transparent fund appropriations, and a reworking on trade laws something done in relation to the economy? Was he supposed to find out the moon was made of gold and oil or something? Healthcare is the single most important economic issue in this dumbass country, and if it doesn't get tackled we will go out of business.

Yeah, it's a slang phrase for "more power to you" or similar thoughts.

You haven't offended me in the least. It simply amuses me though that a woman with experience in government from the local to the state level is considered an "utter fethwit of astronomical proportions". You can't tell me that if, instead of the (R) beside her name, there was a (D) that the same people deriding her experience wouldn't be championing her as the model female politician.

That's a MAN, baby.

Palin?

Would.

God forgive me.

I'm telling you.

People call her a fethwit because she is, every interview she's ever been in and every debate she's every tried to engage in has proven as much. People call her inexperienced because she is. She quit her job job, and hasn't been in government particularly long. If she were a democrat she wouldn't be in the position she's in, she likely would have been marginalized long ago.

no... really, I'm not. That's sort of a "Cool that he's doing it, but it's not his job" thing. He's executive branch, he's there to enforce the legislation, not to get it passed.

Just remember God forgives, Wives use pliers...

Interesting comparison between Palin and Hilary Clinton in terms of education and experience, etc.

She'd be marginalized in the GOP too if she wasn't slightly useful as a figurehead for the nutcase wing of the party. If the GOP can find an alternative who can deliver those votes without being a blithering idiot, watch them kick her to the curb.

Edit: Some of the things she did to the McCain campaign show she can't be trusted. I'm sure the higher-ups in the GOP know this. Give the GOP some credit. They aren't going to hitch their wagons to that particular "star."
