Whether Republicans Hang Sarah Palin Out to Dry Will Say A Lot About The Party

Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:

I'm predicting she becomes the regular replacement for Rachey Ray, teaching us regular folks how to cook mooseburgers...
I predict that if she runs in 2012, she'll be served up like a mooseburger by the other GOP primary candidates who will make her debate with Joe Biden look like a day in the park. She'll be bringing a knife to a gunfight. :D
 
"He failed to duplicate the winning strategy of 2000 and 2004 of establishing a negative persona of the democrat candidate."

This is absolutely classic. In no way could the republicans make McCain out to be a better candidate than Obama on the facts, so their total strategy was to make Obama look worse through negative tactics.

Did you ever think AAA, that the American people are just sick and tired of that game? That maybe they would prefer to see the good in someone, than be driven constantly by the opposition to see boogeyman and false shadows?

If anything this victory was about the hope of Americans that we can have something better, some change, not just some election of choosing the lesser of two media propagandized evil...

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

No one should be under any illusions as to why McCain lost. It had zero to do with Sarah Palin. A large part of the blame of course has to go to Bush, a man who no doubt meant well but made terrible decisions. McCain gets the rest of the blame. He ran a very uneven campaign. He failed to duplicate the winning strategy of 2000 and 2004 of establishing a negative persona of the democrat candidate. That task should have been very easy, but McCain didn't address it until very late in the campaign at a time whne he was clearly desperate and the public had been brainwashed into believing that Obama was just an idealistic reformer.

The McCain/Bush team wrapped things up by fomenting an apparently phony financial crisis that lead to partial nationalization of the financial sector. So much for conservative principles. McCain tried a grandstand play, then meekly did Wall Street's bidding. If he had stood tall and opposed the bailout, he would be planning his transition and the republicans might have at least held their own in the congressional races.

Sarah Palin was pounded unmercifully by the liberal media, and by guys like you who called her a "cunt" or worse. So now that you propose to "defend" her is more than a little ironic.

Meanwhile, I find it equally ironic that the experience you cite for Obama is his tenure at the Harvard Law Review. LOL. That may well be his only executive experience.

Sitting as a director of an organization is executive experience.
 
Always good to see another republican act with class and show that they are a good loozer.


ROTFLMAO...

I'm not a fan of Sarah Palin.

Having said that, I think it will be immensely unfair of the McCain Campaign and the GOP if they scapegoat her.

This is the GOP that put out a press release after Obama's grandmother died, announcing an FEC complaint about Obama's trip to see her.

What do you think the GOP will do?

You have it exactly backwards, not that that surprises me.

Obama had a blank sheet of paper for a resume. His handlers and their media allies created a buzz about him, then somehow manipulated significant numbers of voters to "trust" a guy with no record of leadership and accomplishment and a tawdry trail of past associations.

All McCain had to do was emphasize to voters that obama was misleading them and that he was and always has been, a creature of the far, hard left. For some reason, McCain was not willing to do that, at least until he had already lost. He stood on his "principles" until it was too late, then tossed them aside for nothing. What a plan.

There is nothing sinister or negative about exposing the lies and manipulations of a candidate like Obama. Certainly, it would be nice if the media did their job but that wasn't going to happen.

A significant number of you need to grow up and realize that politics is hardball. Obama , Reid, Pelosi and their crowd certainly know it.
 
All the repubs had to do was show that McCain was more alert, brighter, better equipped, chose a running mate who was ready to run the country if necessary, and had distanced himself from Bush...

Of course to do that would have meant lying their ass off.

Look, you klowns tried to go negative with your campaign, and Americans were sick and tired of the bullshit.

You reveled in the charisma of Reagan which got him elected, and hated Obama for having the same kind of charisma.

I think it was a year or so ago that Obama said he was the black Reagan, or something like that because of the charisma factor...well, he was right.

Quote from Obama:

"I don't want to present myself as some sort of singular figure. I think part of what's different are the times...I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it. I think they felt like with all the excesses of the 1960s and 1970s and government had grown and grown but there wasn't much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating. I think people, he just tapped into what people were already feeling, which was we want clarity we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship that had been missing."

Face it, you got beat by a black Reagan...
