I don't know many Republicans that want Palin as their nominee either. I don't think she's President material, but I don't understand all the hate from a lot of people. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. She hasn't done anything wrong. She didn't cheat on her husband or take bribes or sell out to the major corporations like so many other politicians. She has flaws, but none that I can see that make her such a huge target. I don't think she's the brightest, and I think Hillary would probably kick her ass in a debate, but that just means she's not a legit contender to the throne. Just another wannabe.
That's the thing - there aren't libs who want Nancy. They don't exist. Polls show substantial support for Palin for President. There are no polls which show similar support for Pelosi. barfo
http://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...-palin/2011/06/02/AGWcfjJH_story.html?hpid=z2 Conservative women enthusiastic about Bachmann, Palin DOVER, N.H. — They don’t like identity politics and aren’t crazy about the word “feminist.” But a lot of conservative women here can’t help but rejoice that they may have a couple of tough-talking, tea-drinking mothers to choose from in the Republican primary. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota is on the verge of announcing her intentions, and former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is contemplating a bid. If either runs, it would be the first time since Elizabeth Dole’s bid in 1999 that a viable female candidate has sought the Republican nomination for president. The prospect has energized conservative women who four years ago were deeply uncomfortable with Hillary Rodham Clinton but who see in Bachmann and Palin the kind of family-focused, overtly spiritual candidate whose lifestyle and values seem to mirror their own. The inclusion of Palin and Bachmann in the mix of candidates caps a blockbuster year in which women were credited with helping the GOP retake control of the House. Women occupy many of the leadership roles in the tea party movement, which reshaped the 2010 midterm elections. Nine GOP women joined the House last year, one joined the Senate, and three won governorships in November.
You know how Sarah Palin said Paul Revere warned the British? Well, he did. Now, who looks stupid? (I'm no fan of Dan Quayle by any means, but this story about the "potatoe" (SIC) incident is one I never heard before) Working from a placard, Quayle corrected one sixth-grader by telling him to add an "e" to "potato." Journalists gleefully noted the spelling misteak. And Quayle's dunce hat was glued in place. Trouble is, that mis-spelled placard was actually written out by the classroom teacher herself, either through her own ignorance or, a few suspect, some sly political set-up. Quayle knew he hadn't written it and thought the error was the point of the lesson. And because the classroom spelling bit was a last-minute addition, aides who would have foreseen the everlasting damage of their boss inexplicably adding a mistake to a student's work did not know what the placard said. Quayle subsequently forbade them from explaining the error to the media, for fear of embarrassing the teacher.
yet the right never has said anything bad about women, blacks, or the current president of the US (you know, being a socialist, muslim, from kenya, hates America, hates whites...).
The right is portrayed as the uptight, conservative, illegal alien hating, religious zealot, anti-abortion, anti-gay rights, anti just about everything party. What does that have to do with anything? I'm just saying I don't understand the hate when the Dems are supposed to be the ones who are all about women's rights and shit.
Only in our media: Giving a half-hour speech with three notes written on the palm as cue cards is worthy of ridicule, while reading a half-hour speech off of a teleprompter is the stuff of genius. Has anybody ever heard Obama without a teleprompter? Ummmm, errrrr, ummmm, ahhhhh, gaffe, ummmmm Saying the media isn't biased against right-wing candidates simply is not based in reality.
I forgot you were there when Paul rode by. What was it like to watch the battles at Lexington and Concord?
