Quotes of the day
posted at 10:57 pm on October 28, 2009 by Allahpundit
“’I have chosen not to endorse the Republican in the 23,’ Romney, R-Mass., said while campaigning for GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell.”
***
“‘Certainly his views represent more closely to mine,’ said Huckabee. ‘I’m not taking a role in that with my PAC, simply because I feel like it would be inappropriate with me at this point — mainly because I’m already speaking to the Conservative Party next week. But it is not an endorsement speech, it is an awards speech, and I don’t want to get the two confused.’”
***
“[A]s the Tea Party movement has made clear, a passionate grassroots movement now exists, ready to embrace a leader.
“If the Alaska governor locks down that niche voting bloc ahead of the presidential primary season, she could face a smoother course to the nomination. On the flip side, if she’s seen as too closely aligned with the Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck crowd, her viability as a national candidate could virtually become nonexistent.
“By any measure, it’s a high-risk, high-reward strategy.”

Did anyone even bother to ask the people of Alaska whether they thought Sarah Palin quitting was in their best interest?
Norman Blizter on October 29, 2009 at 12:20 AM
TL;DR Quitter = noble. (Hey, maybe a Nobel, too! LOL)
voxpopuli on October 29, 2009 at 12:20 AM
This has become all too much about personalities, any one, or more, of which could rise are fall a great deal by 2012.
MB4 on October 29, 2009 at 12:20 AM
That was a pun on philosophy.
You aren’t the brightest bulb in the drawer are you?
viking01 on October 29, 2009 at 12:20 AM
Typical lib, always resorting to insults and cursing because they cannot debate reasonably and rationaly.
beachgirlusa on October 29, 2009 at 12:20 AM
I skip the troll’s post and the responses to them… no matter how many times many of us say don’t feed the trolls…people here are too passionate to do that…so just skip over it all…
CCRWM on October 29, 2009 at 12:20 AM
Nothing irrational here, Blake baby. She’s a loser, and thus, a distraction from finding a REAL candidate. I want to take back the republic just as much as you do, my man. (Or woman, as the case may be.) :)
voxpopuli on October 29, 2009 at 12:21 AM
Is bold the new ALL CAPS ELEVENTY? OK, Imma let you finish, but Sarah Palin is the best GOP candidate of all time. OF ALL TIME.
alliebobbitt on October 29, 2009 at 12:22 AM
I sure hope Levi isn’t commenting on HA. Everyone knows how hard it is to smack your a$$ for a camera after getting all fat sitting around blogging all day… Maybe Perez Hilton has agreed to surf the internets for him… in exchange for Levi impregnating him… Oh… wrong X-list celeb… My bad. I just keep getting them all confused.
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 12:22 AM
Right on cue, viking comes back with the intelligence thing. I’ll ask you for the second time tonight: Is there anyone even AT the keyboard, or do you just use scripts?
voxpopuli on October 29, 2009 at 12:23 AM
Before you take back the Republic, take your meds… my man, *snort* .

This, I like. At least it’s humorous.

See . . . now you had to go and ruin it. “You need medication.” Wow. I’ve never heard anyone say that in a blog ever.
voxpopuli on October 29, 2009 at 12:25 AM
Levi is looking a little fat these days. I remember him saying he would hit the gym before he took it all off for Playgirl, but from current pics, it looks like he’s losing the battle of the bulge. ROFLMAO.

Had you wisdom you would have caught the pun.
Pfft .. the only reason I’ve wasted time on you is trying to remember what silly handle you were using when Ed ban hammered you from Captain’s Quarters. Yawn. Time for sleep so I can pay your Food Stamps.
viking01 on October 29, 2009 at 12:28 AM
And the quick decision making on Afghanistan could come into play.
“Soros and my lefty backers want no more troops and to pull out of the “good war”, our generals beg for 40k…..What to do? What to do?….3 months later….. Why, let’s give McChrystal 20k troops!!” What a decisive commander in chief.
Careful of that clowns mouth there lefty on that par 3.
dthorny on October 29, 2009 at 12:28 AM
Dude! What ever made you think I’d take tips from you? You hate Sarah Palin. Did you think that just because I quoted NQ I was, what, a democrat disillusioned with the Party? Nope, I’m a republican disillusioned with the Party.
Annietxgrl on October 29, 2009 at 12:28 AM
Just because I’m not the first person to suggest it, doesn’t mean it isn’t helpful advice. I meant it in all sincerity.
alliebobbitt on October 29, 2009 at 12:29 AM
“Losing the battle of the bulge” sounds like a future movie he’ll star in.
Producer: Haggy Grippith.
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 12:29 AM
trolls/Palin detractors, please take 2 minutes and define conservatism and how it is an untenable philosophy to put before the electorate. In addition, please state how Sarah Palin’s philosophy is not conservative.
Thanks@
daesleeper on October 29, 2009 at 12:29 AM
Her endorsement is only unpredictable to those who do not understand conservatives. Most of us saw it coming from a mile away.
csdeven on October 29, 2009 at 12:30 AM
She’s my people.
alliebobbitt on October 29, 2009 at 12:31 AM
Uhh, no, he wasn’t.
And Obama spent exactly 143 days as a US Senator before he ABANDONED the job (while stealing his paycheck from the taxpayers)
Obama never run a city, never run a state, never run a lemonade stand!!
You know what that means?
Piper Palin, Sarah’s youngest daughter has more business experience that Obama does, because she HAS run a lemonade stand. And by God, Sarah has the ethics complaint from Chip Thoma to prove it!!!!!
Palin:
Multiple Business Owner 20 plus years
PTA member
City Council Member
Mayor Two Terms, term limited out.
President, Alaska council Of Mayors
Chairman, Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.*
*One of the most powerful jobs in the state. “Quit” in protest over massive corruption that she uncovered, and was prevented by the Republican Governor from cleaning up.
Chairman of Political Action Committee dedicated to preparing conservative women for elected office.
*While serving on PAC, spent time going after corrupt Republicans in the AOGCC. The Alaska GOP party chair, Randy Ruedrich received the largest fine in state history, others still wear orange jumpsuits.
Governor
Commander-In-Chief:
Alaska National Guard, Alaska Defense Force
Chairman, Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission
Chairman, National Governors Association’s Natural Resources Committee.
Now, tell me again who has the most experience of any of the so-called “front runners, including Barry Soetoro?
Sarah Palin’s path, Sarah Palin’s life is quintessential Americana. Every job she has ever had has prepared her to be President. And her record of great achievement at her jobs proves she will make a damned good one!!!
gary4205 on October 29, 2009 at 12:32 AM
And I’m still awaiting a single person to tell me how Obama is qualified enough to manage anything more complicated than a hot dog stand.
Left Coast Right Mind on October 29, 2009 at 12:32 AM
LOL
beachgirlusa on October 29, 2009 at 12:32 AM
Did Chicago regarding the “deer leader”? That whole kids killing kids in the streets thing he cleaned up as senator and left them the turd in his wake.
lib translation: “deer leader” means “d’oh” in headlights when it comes to Obama’s decision making, such as it is.
dthorny on October 29, 2009 at 12:34 AM
That is hilarious in and of itself. It’s not a Mitt Romney endorsement unless it comes from the hair.
alliebobbitt on October 29, 2009 at 12:36 AM
Zero couldn’t even manage to stay on at Chicago’s ACORN or squander the Annenberg Foundation loot properly. Even batty Bertha (aka Mr. T) at ACORN would find Zero under qualified for employment.
viking01 on October 29, 2009 at 12:37 AM
Never trust a man with a lazy eye.
alliebobbitt on October 29, 2009 at 12:38 AM
C’MON, that takes math skills.
dthorny on October 29, 2009 at 12:39 AM
How could one be under qualified to work at ACORN? Does pimping take a lot of skill?
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 12:39 AM
Graciousness, honor, nobility, decency, respect and the like are not inherent in the liberal makeup; its foreign and incomprehensible to them, that’s why they’re suspicious of it, they always attribute it to ulterior motive because that’s what they would do.
beachgirlusa on October 29, 2009 at 12:40 AM
Yeah, yeah…don’t give me that “eight hot dogs vs. 10 hot dog buns” conspiracy.
Left Coast Right Mind on October 29, 2009 at 12:41 AM
Only receptive to change.

dthorny on October 29, 2009 at 12:34 AM
Which reminds me. Didn’t Hillary make various promises of her intent to remain NY senator? Hil must be awfully proud being the stepnfetchit for the clearly most underqualified and overwhelmed Chief Executive in US history and Slick probably couldn’t be more pleased.
viking01 on October 29, 2009 at 12:43 AM
You know the US gov’t infected that 10th hot dog bun with the hiv, right?
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 12:43 AM
Receptive? What about a Change receptacle?
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 12:44 AM
Off topic, but this video I found of Jimmy Kimmel researching Obama jokes is really funny and deserves wider play.
Sorry for the off-topic, but it’s worth it.
JohnJ on October 29, 2009 at 12:44 AM
That hope and change slogan sure would fit though.
dthorny on October 29, 2009 at 12:45 AM
I thought it was Reagan who did that…personally.

Left Coast Right Mind on October 29, 2009 at 12:45 AM
No, Reagan just burned babies at the Berlin Wall to keep warm. Thank Gaia that Gorbachev brought peace to the world!!!
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 12:46 AM
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 12:39 AM
My take on that is ACORN employees at least have to show up for work. Zero doesn’t seem to have mastered that tricky concept. He’s too busy bouncing about making silly fake jet noises while riding about in Scare Force One. Nothing else besides permanent vacation is so tempting to him. Hence ACORN is above Obama’s pay grade.
viking01 on October 29, 2009 at 12:48 AM
Absolutely. Bringing the frankfurter cartel and the baker’s union together for a beer summit at the White House, to sort that mess out, is just one of many things that he was elected for. Afghanistan? Shmafghanistan!
Left Coast Right Mind on October 29, 2009 at 12:50 AM
ACORN actually has a pay grade? OH! I get it! He’s somewhere in the negative pay grade.
Yeah, so if that’s the case, then when is he going to start paying America to be President?
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 12:51 AM
I bet Barry’s typical white grandmother could make an Afgahhhnistan.
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 12:52 AM
Were Zero’s hot dog stand more a few hot dogs short he could tell the customers the hog’s appointment with the death panels for processing was delayed by the efficiency of a caring gummint bureaucracy.
viking01 on October 29, 2009 at 12:53 AM
Hillary shows up to Pokistan to tell the masses, “This is our blanket too!”
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 12:54 AM
After the oceans recede and he walks on water.
Annietxgrl on October 29, 2009 at 12:54 AM
Or swine flu?
Obama calls for a national medical emergency with 70 dead versus the normal US flu deaths at 35,000 per year? Or the claim of medical deaths per day by lack of coverage at 14,000 people or over 5 million people per year?
Obama suffers from severelackofmathskillus
dthorny on October 29, 2009 at 12:54 AM
You know, it’s hard out there for a pimp.
alliebobbitt on October 29, 2009 at 12:55 AM
Oceans won’t recede till some more African babies die… just sayin’ *kisses iconographic image of Rachel.
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 12:56 AM
Actually, no, I think you and I are exactly the same — “a republican disillusioned with the party.” We just seem to differ greatly on Palin’s ability to bring back the good stuff.
voxpopuli on October 29, 2009 at 12:56 AM
Who needs math skilz when you have fear?
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 12:56 AM
Man, you’re as dumb as a post. Illinois(and obviously Chicago)overwhelmingly voted for Obama in the presidential election.

Last I heard ACORN pay starts with their lifting the applicant’s AFDC check then providing a few packs of cost-cutter smokes for a vote followed by directions where to trade free pulls of Muscatel under the overpass. Fine compensation for Obama quality of work.
viking01 on October 29, 2009 at 12:57 AM
Personally, I think she preaches some pretty good stuff. It’s not the message (mostly)–it’s the messenger.
voxpopuli on October 29, 2009 at 12:57 AM
And everyone knows we won’t have more jobs in the US till more Che t-shirts are sewn in Vietnamese sweatshops.

Wurst president ever.
justltl on October 29, 2009 at 1:00 AM
I see what you mean, but seriously, it was pretty scary here. We had one healthy girl die (she was 14), then a healthy girl in our ISD got incredibly sick (hospital, almost died), my daughter’s best friend was out of school for two weeks and should have been in the hospital, my neighbor’s boy was sick for over a week and he passed it on my other neighbor’s boy, who was out for over a week. Then I got sick (very mild), my dad got sick (very mild) but thankfully my kids are ok. They said the yearly vaccine would not help but I think it is.
Annietxgrl on October 29, 2009 at 1:00 AM
Cult of persuasion. C’mon I am being sincere here. I want to know what you think conservatism is and how Sarah Palin’s philosophy is incompatible with that. In addition, why is conservatism unelectable?
daesleeper on October 29, 2009 at 1:01 AM
Looks like more wilderness for us ‘cuz she ain’t gettin’ the votes of me or anyone I know.
voxpopuli on October 28, 2009 at 11:40 PM
Due to the fact she’ll be running on the Republican ticket,duh wake up stupid.

Not that I’ve heard…. though apparently at ACORN’s formal annual office party there’s no limit on free dumpster juice.
viking01 on October 29, 2009 at 1:02 AM
Dumpster juice? That’s a new one. What? They let some fruit ferment at the bottom of a dumpster and then Bertha drinks it on July 4th?
*Chug chug chug!*
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 1:03 AM
@viking01
My bad… Everyone knows ACORN doesn’t celebrate July 4th… They just celebrate May Day on July 4th
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 1:04 AM
I don’t hate Sarah Palin (I admire her so very very much) and I am a firm believer in the 11th commandment. So if you are a disillusioned republican, may I offer some advice? Save your hate for the other side (if you must hate).
Annietxgrl on October 29, 2009 at 1:05 AM
May Day or Mao Day? Hmmm… Let’s ask Anita.
MeatHeadinCA on October 29, 2009 at 1:06 AM
OMG hahahaha! Mao Day!

Sorry to hear that about your family. My daughter is an ER trauma nurse and she said drink LOTS OF WATER to combat this flu. They refuse to get the vaccine and some of the AZ. firefighters get two mandatory doses.
The point I was making is Obama’s “crisis cannot go to waste” so he invented this “crisis” to push the healthcare takeover.
dthorny on October 29, 2009 at 1:11 AM
I will ignore your snarky comment earlier, then, which would make the advice-giving a one way street. Here’s my advice to you: Stop bying the Kool-aid line around here, that just because you believe strongly she’s a loser of a candidate — and I do — that you must hate her. That’s lame leftist tactics. You seem more reasonable than that.
voxpopuli on October 29, 2009 at 1:11 AM
