Repeal the 16th amendment & eliminate the income tax. (Apr 2008)
Voted NO on strengthening the Social Security Lockbox. (May 1999)

Oh yeah. That would work. With democrats not paying their taxes that would work like an Obamanomics disaster.

Government reform …

Voted YES on banning soft money donations to national political parties. (Jul 2001)
Voted NO on banning soft money and issue ads. (Sep 1999)

Let’s rig the elections in Bobs favor.

On civil rights issues …

Criticizes efforts to restrict rights of homosexuals. (Jun 2008)

OIC! NOW we know why you love the guy so much.

On economics, there really isn’t much linked to Bobby. He seems more interested in the social issues. Let’s call him what he is. Another populist without a clue.

Palin wins hands down against the guy. She has 10 times his experience, and her base exists. Maybe Barr as her v.p.?

What do you think about the illiterate running it right now?

Obama? Absolutely clueless.

. Can the dolt you supported say the same? Can you?

DannoJyd on April 1, 2009 at 9:55 PM

Yes Bob Barr has more economic smarts than Palin and is better educated.

Sarah Palin 2012!!!!!

Poptech on April 1, 2009 at 8:47 PM

The Governor paid for her own college education. She had more economic smarts tham most of Washington insiders at a very early age. Can the dolt you supported say the same? Can you?

manofaiki on April 1, 2009 at 8:31 PM

Palintologists have brains? ROFLMAO!!

Sarah Palin

Political Experience:
- Former Council Member, Wasilla City Council, Alaska, 1992-1996
- Former Mayor, Wasilla City, Alaska, 1996-2002 (pop: 7,028) (Votes: 909)
- Failed Candidate, Lieutenant Governor, Alaska, 2002
- Resigned, Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, 2003-2004
- Governor, Alaska, 2006-present (2 years) (pop: 670,053) (0.002% of the U.S. population)

Yep she is an Alaskan Politician with no private sector experience. We do not need an economic illiterate running the country.

You let some brainless troll suck you into a ‘private sector experience’ trap?

Sarah Palin wasn’t running for VP based on her ‘private sector experience’. She didn’t get elected Governor of the state of Alaska based on her private sector experience.

Here’s her VERY RELEVANT PUBLIC sector experience:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin

Sarah Louise Palin (née Heath; pronounced /ˈpeɪlɨn/; born February 11, 1964) is the Governor of the American state of Alaska. Palin was a member of the Wasilla, Alaska, city council from 1992 to 1996 and the city’s mayor from 1996 to 2002. After an unsuccessful campaign for Lieutenant Governor of Alaska in 2002, she chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission from 2003 to 2004. She was elected Governor of Alaska in November 2006. Palin is the first female governor of Alaska and the youngest person elected governor of that state.

————–

That did indeed give her more executive experience than the assclown that currently resides in the White House. You know, the guy that brings a teleprompter to a press conference and reads the answers to questions he knows are coming because he hand-picked all the reporters he was going to call on anyway. The egomaniac who just gave the English Queen an iPod with two of his own speeches loaded on it.

Yeah.

THAT assclown.

Yes…I’m sure your mommy pays you quite well to come up from her basement and defrag her computer.

I did set my mothers computer up some time ago and it auto-defrags using Diskeeper.

Now excuse me while I make money typing this (not what you think, my business is automated) .

She and her husband have run a commercial fishing business for longer.

PastorJon on April 1, 2009 at 12:10 PM

The perpetual myth.

Sarah the CEO? (Inc.com)

“Both returns name Todd Palin as proprietor and the couple’s Wasilla home as a main office. On her public financial disclosure form, Palin describes the business as a sole proprietorship owned by her husband,”

Her husband has a business – she does not.

Poptech, it’s hard to take people like you seriously, because you supported Barak “I have done absolutely nothing substantive with my life” Obama for president.

TTheoLogan on April 1, 2009 at 9:54 AM

No I haven’t – I don’t support Socialists. I voted Libertarian because McCain and Palin are economic illiterates.

MODERATOR: “…do you support capping carbon emissions?”
PALIN: “I do. I do.”

Yes, there is reporter bias as well, but if reps of Sarah Palin started to consistently feed Politico reporters info, I would submit that on balance there would be fewer negative stories on Sarah, but even so Sarah would still be reported in an overall negative light.

There may well be some things not being admitted. There always are. But the ones who’ve already proven they play dirty are the RINOs “leading” the GOP.

Not for long. That’s bringing out all their angst to pull the plug on Palin, such an easy target for asshats.

in which case what incentive do Politico’s sources have to lie?

LOL!!! Far be it from Politico to have their own prejudiced bias on any topic, but particularly on Palin. Lest you pretend to forget, Politico fabricated whole cloth on the Fred Thompson campaign. And YOUR defense then was the same; “why question Carl Cameron?”

Whether or not Palin talks or doesn’t at this dinner, AP, is not the point of my criticism. It’s feigning that Politico would NEVER fabricate information in order to sell their own bias that I scoff.

The GOP is afraid of Palin, very afraid.

mixplix on April 1, 2009 at 6:45 AM

I think this is very true. She came out of nowhere and tapped a thread of intense frustration. And that frustration comes as much from the actions of the GOP as the Donkeys. Palin is a conservative who happens to be a repbulican, not the other way around.

Current GOPer’s owe their power and prosperity to the deals they’ve made and so they have to be “centrists”. But a better word would be ‘dealers’. They have more identification with a party than with ideologies. Without that ideological base, they have no independent vision, and hence they can’t provide leadership. They end up spinning around, looking for consensus, for balance, for popularity, and leave public frustrated because they sound like conservatives, but act just like the donkeycrats.

This is one of the reasons I think AP’s resistance to Palin might be a bit exaggerated. I just don’t believe him to be as shallow as his online persona appears. He is not, or at least was not, the type to ignore his own past writing in order to play “gotcha” without a larger goal.

I have my own computer related business that I have been running for over seven years and it is very profitable. Yes I have more private sector experience than Sarah Palin.

Poptech on April 1, 2009 at 2:48 AM

Yes…I’m sure your mommy pays you quite well to come up from her basement and defrag her computer.

Now, excuse me while I go make payroll.

If you want to get someone to speak at your function, do you go to their staff or to their fan club to get them?

The Republican Party was dumb in this case and they are attempting to shift the blame to Palin rather than take responsibility themselves.
