Having said that, I certainly plan to.

I’m not convinced he’s a RINO. I don’t know if he has any allegiances; other than to his own reflection in the mirror.
Nothing of substance with AP. Just snide comments and those aren’t even original.

Eh….

Erick at RedState says that the Senator speaking unfavorably about Palin to Politico here is Mel Martinez.

strange huh

but as an incumbent in a red state

just like those “red states” of Virginia and North Carolina ….

Why is this comment page showing “page 2″ when I can’t even click on “page 1″ when it takes me back to “page 2″? What’s going on. Did page 1 get deleted or what?

What’s the deal here?
Are you seriously censoring this thing?
I can’t quite bring myself to believe that.

What a hypocrite

Allah, please.

In the run up to November 4th, we were told it was going to be a rout and a half — some polls had McCain/Palin in the low forties percentage wise. What happened? A win for Obama/Biden, but not a landslide of Reaganic proportion.

Monday night, the ecchspurts were saying “Chambliss by three or four points.” Try 14 points, IOW, the low forties.

And you say, “Eh.” Well, “Eh” yourself.

“I sure as heck am glad I’m not running against her. I’d just drop out of the race facing the Cuda.”

AP, you need to embrace CHANGE. If you ever meet Sarah, I hope she passes Trig to you for some real grass-roots bonding.

You’re one of us!

He’s expected to win but not by much more than five, so expect a long, agonizing evening of watching the blue counties roll in and slowly wash away the margin.

AllahPundit quote after the election here:

Eh. She may have been worth a point or two, but as an incumbent in a red state who almost won straight up last month, he was never in trouble.

Liar, liar, pants on fire. Sounds more like disingenous Palin hating sour grapes to me Eeyore. At least when writing on the conservative side of the blogosphere you might consider some honesty, else I think you’re taking after Daily Kos.

Unless you have evidence for this claim it’s pretty meaningless.

CNN

It appears Barack Obama’s teleprompter is hitting the campaign trail.

The Democratic presidential nominee has never tried to hide the fact he delivers speeches off the device, though normally he doesn’t use one at standard campaign rallies and town hall events.

But the Illinois senator used a teleprompter at both his Colorado events Monday — making for a particularly peculiar scene in Pueblo, where the prompter was set up in the middle of what is normally a rodeo ring.

you are forgetting about queen elizabeth. and Margret thatcher etc. It is not our problem if the parties have never put up a respectable presidental canidate until Palin and clinton. Time will come. Men have no problem having a female boss. In fact feel the love.

Well, first of all, Queen Elizabeth is a figurehead who arrived at her position because of the accident of her birth. She wasn’t elected, so I wouldn’t count her. Citing Margaret Thatcher as an example, however, only reinforces SFG’s point, I think. Why is it that we have never seen a viable female candidate for POTUS? Thatcher was PM over 20 years ago. Countries like India and Pakistan and Israel and the Philippines have all had female leaders. Why not the United States? It’s not that there’s a lack of qualified women in this country.

I think the problem is a complicated one, and I think a lot of the blame rests with women themselves. Women are just unduly critical of each other and I do think that hold us all back, which is sad and pathetic and very 7th grade. But I do also think that there is still a glass ceiling out there that some beta males are only too happen to see remain in place. And a lot of them are members of the party leadership on both sides, so that’s part of your answer as well. Or they’re members of the MSM, where you have overt sexists like Chrissy “Tingles” Matthews.

It’s really unfortunate that we women seem to be our own worst enemy a lot of the time. The feminist movement has done little to advance the rights of women as far as I can see, unless you buy into their meme that the only “right” that really counts is the right to abortion on demand. I am sure those who fear women like Sarah Palin are only too happy to encourage the infighting and backbiting that goes on between women. Keeping a class divided is a sure way to make certain it fails.

This is probably the number one reason I heart Sarah Palin: I don’t agree with some of her views, but she — like me — seems to pretty libertarian in applying those views, so I am OK with that. There’s no candidate who is ever a perfect fit really, but she’s a lot closer than a lot of the other options. But if Sarah can break that glass ceiling and in so doing shatter the stereotype that powerful, pro-women candidates can only be moonbat liberals, then I would consider that a personal victory. Conservative women far outnumber traditional feminists, but you would never know it by listening to the MSM or observing the power bases in this country. Electing Sarah Palin president would be a watershed moment for us all. I would no longer feel like I was being silenced or marginalized by beta males, by liberals, and by Uncle Toms of my own gender like Noonan and Parker.

A townhall event with scripted and approved questions defeats the purpose of such a forum.

Unless you have evidence for this claim it’s pretty meaningless.

I do know. It hits my sense of fairness and justice, and chivalry to some degree. If people want to say Sarah is wrong on some issue, another solution would be better, that’s fine.
When you insult the person with things like idiot, or breeder(what’s that all about?) it gets me a little hot under the collar.

I agree. It’s offensive and demeaning. I strongly critic her, not because of WHO she is, but because of WHAT she believes in and fights for. That’s enough for me. And yes my disagreement with her beliefs can sometimes slip into antipathy towards her, I don’t actually know her, she is probably perfectly lovely as a person.

But her policy positions are so problematic. And at a certain point Palinites are going to have to stop talking about her wonderful personal qualities. And START talking about her substantive positions. She may be an “effective executive” but does she have answers to the major problems of today. I don’t think so. And frankly, neither does conservatism. Healthcare is an issue thats not going to go away and “free market” isn’t going to cut it. A stable economy, not. going. away. and “Reagan” and “this is a great country” isn’t going to answer those questions.

When some a-hole liberal makes a nasty comment about her being stupid or a redneck or a bible thumper I feel personally wounded. Like someone insulted my mother, ya know?

Sarah is a fine American woman, and deserves better than schoolyard rumors. Argue about Alaska’s budget, or tax policy, environmental protection vs resource development, things that matter to people’s lives. When you attack her intelligence or focus on what she wears or her regional accent, it’s petty, juvenile and unfair.So naturally, I get petty and juvenile right back atcha!
