Re: Going Rogue Okay, so now Newt was a great conservative by comparison to Sarah......... Care to guess how many times Newt voted to increase the deficit ceiling during his time in office? Care to guess how many times Newt voted to increase entitlements and special welfare programs? Care to guess how many times Newt voted to send aid to foreign Countries? Interesting reading: Devvy Kidd -- Who is the Real Newt Gingrich? Part 1 At the bottem there is a link to part two of the story.
Re: Going Rogue Here is some fun stuff from PJTV. An interesting video that's already on the boards here somewhere I think... Off subject in the fact that he doesn't mention Alaska's oil issue, on subject because it is about Sarah Palin. [ame= - PJTV: Bill Whittle on the Sarah Palin Haters[/ame]
Re: Going Rogue Did you not understand my point? Hillary's book had a sex scandle with an American President fresh in the minds of the people to help generate sales for her book, airing dirty laundry for very public figures has always been a powerful book selling possition.
Re: Going Rogue The way you worded it, I thought you were implying that Hillary actually orchestrated the affair as a means to sell her book. Now I see what you were saying. My bad. Please, carry on.
Re: Going Rogue Well.....now that you mention that I can see where it could sound like that, I should have been more clear in my comment. Of course Hillary did not create the scandle, but she did cash in on it
Re: Going Rogue Don't forget Newt took a few shots at Limbaugh as well. The last big one I remember was when Rush said he wanted Obama to fail and Newt said "You're irrational if you don't want the president to succeed." Sarah Palin did not want Obama to succeed either. So again hugo, Sarah is a Conservative because she took a shot at Rush, but Newt who has taken several shots at Rush, has voted for hundreds of welfare programs, voted for raising the debt ceiling many times, voted for massive foreign aid.....Newt is a great conservative? Newt like Rush is a person who makes a lot of money "talking" about being conservative but when you look at Newts voting record, you see he was not really a pure conservative himself. Why the double standard against Sarah hugo? Because you have to justify to yourself why you voted for Obama.
Re: Going Rogue She is going liberal PC trying to get the word retarded banned. Retarded is a perfectly good word. Beats "dumber than a box of rocks". Off with commie bitch's head.
Re: Going Rogue I prefer to use the term, "half wit" or "corky" myself. <disclaimer- I'm kidding but really hate the PC police>
Re: Going Rogue When are you going to stop being such a petty, fukkstikk. I had a classmate growing up who had a Down's Syndrome brother who was very sensitive when he heard "retard" being thrown around, I suppose he was after political gain, too. The only difference is, Palin has the megaphone to bring it recognition. Do I agree with the PC of it? No. Do I believe it's for political gain? No more than you being offended by the belief that everyone from Texas is an intolerant, redneck. YouTube - family guy texas
Re: Going Rogue Since TJ has ran off everyone interested in intelligent debate I have lowered my debate standards here.
Re: Going Rogue Oh, it is my fault you behave poorly........imagine that. The problem is....your not interested in intelligent debate, you have dodged every difficult question ever asked of you even by other people, not just me. I just happen to be the only guy calling you out for dodging so you direct your irritation for being pinned down with questions you can answer at me.......... In this thread you have called Sarah a commie because she supported what "YOU" believe to be a welfare like program and at the same time every person you mention as a "good" conservative, I have shown them to be fully supportive of actual welfare programs, Newt has voted to increase the debt ceiling several times and yet you still offer the double standard. Your need to be so petty is why I am positive you voted for Obama, there simply no other reason you would be so rediclious in your comments against Sarah. Take this example you mention about the word retarded. If nothing else, Sarah has stuck it back at the Liberals with their own game of namecalling, nevermind she has every right as a mother of a special needs child to show irritation when our leaders toss hurtful words like that around, just look at the fact that a Conservative would have been ripped apart if he has said the same thing and it got into the press. Sarah is pointing out the double standard Liberals have, I would think you could support something like that.......if you really were conservative minded and did not like what the liberals were doing. You know hugo, your sounbding more and more like an agent of the Democrat party every day. They also hate Sarah Palin and go out of their way to be overly critical of her.
Off with her head Palin enthusiastically practices socialism, Alaska-style ELSTUN LAUESEN COMMENT Candidate Palin along with such formidable intellects as Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher (a.k.a., "Joe the Plumber"), Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Victoriah Jackson, attacked Barack Obama during the campaign for being, variously, a Marxist, a communist and a socialist. Ironically, as Keith Olberman of MSNBC noted last week, Sarah Palin just presided a huge redistribution of wealth when she signed an energy "rebate" of $1,200 for every man, woman and child in Alaska. The money for that wealth redistribution comes from our collective wealth, which we have thanks to our state constitution. Article VIII, Section 2 holds that the resource of the state will be utilized, developed and conserved for the "... maximum benefit of its people." This precept of public management of benefit is precisely what makes Alaska today one of a handful of states that enjoys a budget surplus while other states are struggling with deficits. The framers of our constitution wisely didn't want state resources to be privatized, as they are in Texas, for example, where the people of that state are separated from their wealth by billionaires. Thanks to the framers of our state's constitution, our collective ownership of state resources guarantees low taxes and high revenues, not to mention a Permanent Fund dividend program, another socialist scheme that gave each Alaskan over $2,000 this year. Alaskans like to boast that they are different, that they "don't give a damn how they do it in the lower 48." Ironically, Sarah Palin and her handlers and many of her fans here in Alaska don't understand how different we Alaskans really are. Truth be told, when Gov. Palin redistributes the wealth held in common by the people of Alaska, she is fulfilling the socialist dream of many of Alaska's pioneers. I'm from Fairbanks and each summer we celebrate "Golden Days," a celebration honoring the mining days of yore. Golden Days has morphed into a cowboy Western-style show since the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline; that's understandable, considering where many of the pipeline immigrants come from. Ironically, many of the early miners and pioneers of Alaska were from Europe, with corresponding accents and political views including European socialist views. The history of mining in Alaska in the late 19th and early 20th century has a parallel history of socialist political organizing. Many of our forefathers and mothers here in Alaska were proud members of socialist parties or worker affiliates in Ketchikan, Nome, and Fairbanks. A local blog, insurgent49.com, published a review of the early leftist history of Alaska. Regarding my hometown the review notes, "Lena Morrow Lewis started publishing the semimonthly Alaska Socialist newspaper in Fairbanks, which lasted for about three years. Two other left-wing Fairbanks publications from this period that were shorter-lived were the Tanana Valley Socialist and the Socialist Press. Around the same time, Gustave Sandberg served as secretary of the Alaska Socialist Educational Society, which did such activities as lecturing in mining camps. At least several times, a young writer named Jack London was one of the lecturers." In 1914 the Alaska Socialist Party was formed and the platform advocated typical socialist ideas like federal funding of railroads and highways in Alaska. When Alaskans sing about the "gold of the Sourdough's Dream" in the Alaska Flag Song, we should also remember an associated dream held by many of those pioneer Alaskans honored in that song: a world in which all people would get a fair day's pay for a fair day's work, and the prejudices and inequalities among people disappear as the fruits of prosperity are shared by all. Ironically, despite her posturing before adoring mobs in the Lower 48, Sarah Palin has so far been a pretty good socialist governor. I hope that when she returns, she continues her good work and stops worrying so much about how they do it Outside.
Re: Going Rogue lol, going to join in Wez? Attack the person to take attention away from the words you can't refute........
Re: Off with her head And yet Texas still gives every Texan a huge monetary gift to offset their tax burdon every year. There really is no meaningful difference because every Texan benefits from the money directly while they do nothing to actually "EARN" this cash benefit. It is s shell game, move the "free money" around in all kinds of directions to make it look different, but in reality Texas is siphoning off money from oil sales to help all Texans, just like Alaska.
