FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

Geez, Butters, stop insisting on thinking for other people.
You've got enough of a challenge trying to think on your own.

Palin does not scare anyone. Bring her on.
Then ask her questions. Holy shit, it gets funny then.

 

Turning herself into a national punchline made the game work for her?

Realizing she was out of her depth required some intelligence, which she clearly did not have.

 

She was a lot more electable to the right than John McCain. In fact, the only excitement in his entire campaign came when he announced Palin as his running mate.

Do I think Palin would be a good president? No, no, 1000x no. Do I think she would be as good, if not better, than the clown that beat her and McCain? Absolutely. One thing Palin has that Obama never had was/is honesty.

It's pointless to even talk about Palin running in 2016. Not going to happen. Hillary, however, is going to be the nominee unless the Democrats somehow come to their senses. Her tenure as SOS was awful. She has zero qualifications, yet she is seen as viable while Palin, to the left, is seen as a joke. Both are jokes but the Democrats just don't seem to get it.

Meanwhile, Sarah Palin has made a tremendous life for herself and her family. She is rich, successful and beloved by half of the country. And she makes the other half go bonkers whenever they hear her name...talking about how she is the "national punchline" and crap like that.

Tell me, what makes Mumu Pantsuit qualified to be president? She seems to think she is entitled to it, that's for sure.

 

Hillary Clinton has been a Senator and the Secretary of State. Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla and lasted half a term as governor of - by population - one of the smallest states in the Union.

But yeah, you're right - Sarah Palin is qualified, and Hillary Clinton is not. .... because Sarah Palin is smart, attractive and patriotic - three qualities which liberals apparently hate in women.

Again: I don't dislike Sarah Palin because of any of those qualities; I dislike Sarah Palin because - like the rest of talkradioland - she would listen to your argument and eagerly nod in agreement, somehow thinking it makes sense.

 

Good Lord, is there a grown-up around that could read my posts to you so you could understand them? How you could read what I have said and claim I said Palin is qualified is beyond me. You would think statements like "Do I think Palin would be a good president? No, no, 1000x no" would be easily understood. I guess I will work on dumbing it down for you.

 

What is Hillary Clinton's signature accomplishment as either First Lady, Senator, or Secretary of State?

Beyond her signature accomplishment, what are some of her lesser ones?

 

I'm guessing it was probably something similar to George W. Bush's signature accomplishment, right before you voted for him twice to be President.

 

Watch this ... this is how adults have a conversation:

Fair point. You agreed Sarah Palin wasn't qualified. Still - we've elected quite a few presidents with a resume thinner than Hillary Clinton. Disagree with her politically? That's fine. But unqualified? Come on ...

Now ... I don't suppose you're willing to agree that liberals don't somehow hate attractive, smart and patriotic women whole cloth.

 

I love how folks like you and Baron think George W. Bush is the dumbest man to walk the planet, and then compare President Obama or Hillary Clinton to him in order to defend them.

So, they're smarter, or more accomplished than the dumbest man on the planet? Big deal.

C'mon. What's Hillary done? She's been in public life for decades, what's she done? She's spent lots of government money, what does she have to show for it?

 

Again: if you actually believed "signature accomplishments" on a resume mattered when it came to voting for a president, you wouldn't have voted for Bush twice.

Let's be honest: You voted for Bush twice strictly because he was the Republican nominee, and by his election it became more likely that Republican policies would be enacted. That's the exact same way that I'll probably vote for Hillary because she's the Democrat nominee, and by her election it will become more likely that Democrat policies will be enacted.


... and no, that doesn't mean you exclusively vote Republican, and it doesn't mean I exclusively vote Democrat.

 

Good gosh people, a Palin debate!?!

She is not qualified to be POTUS. She even knows this, given she didn't run against a lackluster field of GOP contenders in the last election cycle. She is pulling in good money saying outlandish things. She is the Skip Bayless of politics.

Why, given everything else happening in the world (hey, how about those Iranian elections?), y'all are talking about her is beyond me.

 

OK, so no "signature accomplishment". That's fine.

You say she has a great resume, and in terms of jobs held, she does. But, when I've put together a resume, I list the accomplishments achieved in each job.

What would she list under each job? Because, if it's just a list of titles, it's not that great of a resume.
