Sarah Palin, Republican Vice Presidential Candidate

[SwampdonkeyPLD]

Everytime I read about that and her allies saying she didn't do anything wrong, they never elaborate as to what she actually did. Like if she had legitimate reasons to ask for her to fire the guy, what were they?

He kept undercutting her on the budget or something.

And how come no one is screaming fascism? Isn't that what happened today?

I'm sure it has nothing to do with troopergate.

You know, if the media had vetted Obama like they have Palin, you guys might have won this election.

Sadly, it'll probably be portrayed as part of the vast left-wing conspiracy to slander Palin because she's a woman. Seems to be the standard template Republicans use to defend her, and those "evil anonymous hackers hell-bent on destroying America by hacking the email account of the female version of the Second Coming of Jesus" fit right in.

Well, it could easily be spun as "her email was accessed by a party intent on destroying her, but there was nothing to find in her email, proving her innocence!"

Which of course is because Anon failed completely and panicked and then an anti-lulzfag "White Knighted" her.

Fascism? How is today's activities fascist? Do you know what fascism is?

Yea, and isn't one aspect of fascism nationalizing industries/companies?

You're right. here I was thinking the whole Rev. wright/Weather underground/Rezko/Obama
s wife country hating was part of the whole vetting process. Its clear to me now it was just the Media Hugging and riding on Obama's cock. thanks for pointing it out to me bud.

I'd say its more akin to socialism lol

Are you talking about gov't bailouts of banking, or about Sarah Palin and Anon?

I'm confused.

North American Union :D

Considering it's iffy with Obama possibly meeting the Bilderber group, I figure that now it's all shit in the oven tbh.

I betcha were going to hit a Depression soon enough and some other fun stuff before were in a crisis for the world government that even Hillary Clinton is after. She did thank Walter Cronkite on this by the way, google it.

The banking bailouts.

You're a troll. Obama is leading in the polls and in total number of electoral votes, what are you talking about?

But then again, McCain invented the Blackberry, so he just might have my vote.

McCain is leading in the "polls" as well. The reason I made that statement is aren't Dem's always up by like 10-15 points at this point? Yet they seem to always lose except Clinton. Also, didn't Kerry have 250+ electoral votes at this point and Bush under 200? I think someone posted that earlier in the thread.

[aurik]

Sorry, banking bailouts and regulated industry are socialist, not fascist.

[Palin]

McCain's been up in all the polls since the convention by about 2-4 points, but the polls taken the past few days show Obama got a big bump, and Palin's rating droping.

That being said, you can only trust polls so much because of things like lack of third-party option during the polling, no calls sent to new(young) voters, demographic of specific people who reply to polls, etc.

At around this time, Bush did get a major drop, but Kerry didn't go too far ahead, and Bush picked up pretty quickly again and maintained it until shortly after the first debate where all assumptions go out the window.

(edit: Of course this is an electoral map style poll, and the one I'm referencing includes states with leads within the margin of error (5%). If you look at the timeline that doesn't include those, Bush didn't lose his lead of strong support in certain states until post-2nd debate. Even then, both were well below the required # of electoral votes on that timeline, indicating a great deal of states were entirely too close to call - certainly not a 15+ point lead.)

based on the last 4 posts or so, what are you talking about you troll?

Polls really matter right now.

This just in!

Troopergate - Dude got canned because....Monegan wanted to get federal funds to fight rape cases, you know like a cop would. She didn't want to give him the money, so she gave him the boot!

Ooooooh this is such a fun game!

Meh, Keith Olberman, but watching Palin burn is just too good.
