Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin

Post by Impactor returns 2.0 » Wed Oct 08, 2008 4:38 pm

Somthing funny I found:
http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1830537

Shes a complete **** of epic proportions. Watching Cain & Palin compared to Obama alone, is like watching Chuck from the goonies argue with Stephen Hawkins over physics.

How can anyone, outside of the bible belt of stupid [composite word including 'f*ck'] ever vote for two of the biggest pricks in history?

The world begs america to stick Obama in power, please america, for once, do the right thing.

Here ends a party political postage on behalf of the right choice.

eheheheehe.... :D

Those Dinobots... are fricken' hardcore. :eek:

But obviously, yes, I wouldn't vote for this lass', an' her keeper, even if my life depended on it. ( ok, if I had a gun to my head I would probably cave in, because I am something of a wuss.)

Hmm, this will end well.

Anyway!

She kind of makes me think of some freaky alternate reality Cordilla Chase where she never fell in with the right people.

Once Hillary lost the nod to Obama, I thought it was over for the Democrats.

I mean, there just wasn't any way the same America that re-eelcted Bush was going to vote for a black man, no matter how competent.

Racism is in effect. Always.

So I was so sure McCain and Palin were going to take the White House.

But then something happened.

The one thing, the only thing, that can overide the racial tendencies of our people happened.

It's called money.

The economy is crumbling, and even the KKK will now vote for a black man to save their pocket books.

So Obama just might pull this **** off. Even if he's black.

Here in America, it goes like this: Money>Race>Common Sense.

I like neither of them. McCain has more political experience in his pinky than Obama has had in his entire life. But hes also got one foot in the grave and a little on the wackado side.

As for Biden and Palin. Jesus, its like having to pick between a horse with a broken leg who just walks in circles or one that isnt smart enough to get out of the gate.

Whoever wins will be a 1 term president, but at this point, we're so f**ked that it wont really matter which. To quote Computron (which he'll rub in my face mercilessly, if he even shows up anymore) 'Nuts and Bolts, we just got screwed.'

My sentiments exactly.

Eight years of Bush was all it took to take us down for the count.

I cannot believe how gosh darn thick as ******* **** both running mates are.

McCain is ok as far as Republicans go, but that bint he's paired up with... [composite word including 'f*ck'], if he wins then croaks it, the world is ******.

And that guy Biden... Can he open his mouth without sticking his whole ******* leg in it?

What a ****.

Obama is "charming", like Clinton. Which probably means he's a massive **** underneath it all as well.

SOrry, but whats all this experience ppl talk about when comparing Obama and Cain?

Since when has any recent president of the United States had any over seas experience?

What makes me laugh is that you have Cain going on about needing experience, dude, Bush doesnt no his rear end from his face, hes the biggest joke on earth. Clearly you dont need that much experience, what you simply need, is a man with a brain in his head. which Obama clearly has.

Anyhows, back to Palin:

He said man love. Which proves I'm vaguely masculine.

Only vaguely, mind.

Kinda the entire point. We've had 8 years of a dumbass who isnt fit to lead a parade. Putting in another president with little experience is just setting us up for another term of 'What the f**k did he just say?'

All Obama has had going for him since day 1 is the fact hes black and his name sounds Muslim. Hes been preaching the same tired things that every Democratic candidate for the last 20 years has, except hes got the shock and awe factor. Nothing else sets him apart besides his inexperience.

Experience is a plus, but a lack therof isn't a disqualifier. My opinion on the whole Palin/Obama/Experience thing is:

Barack Obama can't help how much experience he has. It is what it is. But the American people still chose him as the nominee. John McCain chose Sarah Palin. And it was a poor choice indeed. Cutting off your moderate nose to spite your conservative face served him well for a few days after the convention, but that's about it.

Wait, the only things Barack Obama has going for him is that he's a black guy with a weird name?

Oh yeah, his Muslim sounding name has been a REAL plus in Middle America. I mean, when Republican attack dogs want to go after Obama, they FORGET to say "Hussein" is his middle name, right? Oh no, that's right, it's...... the opposite.

Hes been preaching the same tired things that every Democratic candidate for the last 20 years has, except hes got the shock and awe factor. Nothing else sets him apart besides his inexperience.

You know, I don't disagree with the idea that ideologically he's not far off from mainstream Democratic mantras. But is that really so tired?

I'm 28. 20 of the years of my life have been Republican presidents. And Clinton only got his foot in the door because he was a free market moderate just as in bed with big buisness as any GOP guy.

He's DOES have the shock and awe factor, as in "Americans are so shocked and awed at the state of their country and what the status quo has led to that they're willing to look seriously at radical change."

Agreed, experience doesnt necessitate being a decent President. I just view it as a position that requires enough knowledge to deal with whatever the world decides to throw at us, I am not convinced Obama has that experience.

Wait, the only things Barack Obama has going for him is that he's a black guy with a weird name?

Oh yeah, his Muslim sounding name has been a REAL plus in Middle America. I mean, when Republican attack dogs want to go after Obama, they FORGET to say "Hussein" is his middle name, right? Oh no, that's right, it's...... the opposite.
But on the other side of the coin its the democratic party who is supporting the revolutionary idea of a Black Muslim President. Oh look how progressive we want to look! They know that among all the candidates who ran, Obama and Hillary had the best chance. The election shouldnt be based on who will create the most Buzz as President.

Im not holding his race or religious views against him in any way. I do think its kind of ridiculous to use them as a tool to get people to vote for him, but thats just the way politics work. You harp on the differences between the candidates and why that separates them from the 'norm'.

I am all for a change in the way Washington is run, its a corrupt system with loopholes for assholes who think they deserve more than the regular American does. Yet, nothing changes, nothing at all. Some minor regulations are put in place, but then they just create more bylaws to get around them.

Progressive?

:lol:

If America had to choose the kind of person they would not want to be President, it would be a black Muslim. If Obama was one, he would never have even made it to the primaries.

I just don't understand your logic here, that being black and having the middle name "Hussein" can possibly be a plus for him.

Yeah, it's a real stretch to say that a guy whose absentee father was born Muslim but professes atheism, a guy who was not raised with any connection to that father, has any link at all to Islam.

Also, "black Muslim" in America usually refers to a member of the Nation of Islam, thereby a follower of Elijah Mohammad and Louis Farrakhan and that bizarre syncretic black separatist faith. Which Obama is definitely not. He's a member of a "black church" a pre-Pentecostal tradition common in areas of America with high black populations.

I'm not denying that there's a strain of "Whee, we're progressive" thought, but what I'm saying is that the "I'm not voting for a 'Black Muslim President'" people WAY outnumber them.
Im not holding his race or religious views against him in any way. I do think its kind of ridiculous to use them as a tool to get people to vote for him, but thats just the way politics work. You harp on the differences between the candidates and why that separates them from the 'norm'.
But I don't think he uses them, they're used upon him. The Obama campaign's stance is that they're supporting a biracial guy who has been a lifelong Christian. If the media and the common man need to catagorize him based upon his skin color and last name, that's certainly not Obama's fault.

I am all for a change in the way Washington is run, its a corrupt system with loopholes for assholes who think they deserve more than the regular American does. Yet, nothing changes, nothing at all. Some minor regulations are put in place, but then they just create more bylaws to get around them.
I know, but this is our best chance for the system to do something:
President (Obama) that draws support from both sides of the aisle? Check.
Post Baby Boomer President not wrapped up in cultural wars that began in the 60s?
Check.
Cultural Climate where the American people are open to(and in fact need) serious reform and change?
Check.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY....
The Democratic Party could control all of Congress and the Presidency, and could even possibly get a fillabuster proof 60 seats in the Senate.

That's not even mentioning Supreme Court nominations coming up.

And I don't mean the political system. My personal opinion is that if America is a building, I would suggest we just demolish it and build it again better using many of the same materials and ideas. But at this point, all we have is one political system, and Obama will make it work for us more so than McCain.
