Knives come out for Sarah Palin; McCain aides tell tales of an ill-informed diva

[ramanth]

No, Rapture will be by Fire if I'm not mistaken. And has not happened yet.

I don't know.... California seems to go up in flames quite a bit.

If the MSM was up here offerring $30,000 per story for dirt on Sarah during the campaign, I wonder how much they paid the anonymous sources after the campaign.

Thank you, and seriously, it was my opinion. I'm sorry, that's just the way it seems for me and this article also proves my point IMO. And because I'm young, what is the supposed to mean? In an attempt to defend myself, I'm not going to take back what I said. To me it's not judging someone by saying that, and I feel it to be true, I know some people who think this way to. And no it's not just because she's republican. I didn't ask anyone to agree with me, but lately I should have knew I should have bitten my tounge. I've been the target on some other forums for getting involved in political discussions because I'm a teenager. I thought different of this one, oh well.

As I mentioned before, my brother is heavily involved in politics. He has met John Kerry, Obama, Hilary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Barbara Bush, and is actually friends with Wesley Clark. He has also met Palin and he said he doesn't get good vibes from her, he just didn't like her. My brother works for votevets.org was in a commercial against a republican politician, and many other thinks. He fought in the war, I think I know what I'm talking about, I'm pretty educated on the subject. Again you don't have to agree with me, but Palin just isn't what this country needs. I'm not going to take back what I said because that's my opinion and I stand by it. You can think I'm rude and nasty and immature and uneducated on this subject, fine so be it.

Whatever, I'm done posting my opinions and am no longer getting involved with policitical discussion on here.

true. Its your opinion that she's stupid looking.
true. Its MY opinion that your opinion is hateful and rude.
The young comment has to do with just remember you are only 16 and you have your whole life ahead of you to make stupid mistakes b/c we all do. Just b/c I'm old that's my opinion.

LOL,

I wish I had done some of the dumb stuff now that I am older.
I spent soooooooo many years trying to forget all the stupid things that I did before I turned 25.

On second thought?

It's better to screw up when you are young. YOu have the rest of your life to fix all the pain and confusion you cause.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it "Potato" that Dan Quail couldn't spell????

Gosh, my hair began to hurt after reading all this about Palin. Let's just hope that she goes back to her routines and her life goes along oh so smoothly. Ugh.

[Edwina's Secretary]

What a sore loser! According to Ms. Palin McCain/Palin lost because:

1. The media (doesn't that one ever get tired???)
2. They were outspent
3. George Bush.

What a pity she doesn't have McCain's sense of dignity. And how insulting to the voters of this country. Apparently to Ms. Palin we are too stupid to understand the issues and easily persuaded by $$$.

And what an incredible lack of insight if she really doesn't believe that what she and McCain offered was less appealing to the voters! It was the fault of everyone but those who were actually on the ticket.

Don't go away mad Ms. Palin, just PLEASE, go away!

aw gee shucks, ES - you got to admit it is sort of mesmerizing - kind of like a train wreck. Besides, as long as she is the "new" republican, the dems don't have to worry for a long, long, long time. Its so funny that now that the election is over she's finally willing to talk to people - she is doing everything it takes to remain on the front page.

btw - wasn't it a certain republican candidate who last spring chided Obama for being nothing more than a celebrity like Britney or Paris! Now look what he has unleashed.

UPDATE - now it sounds like the "Africa is a country" was indeed made up - what's so scary is that we all found it so plausable coming from "I can see Russia from my front yard".

[lizbud]

I can't believe she isn't gone from public view by now. The woman won't
shut up. She is giving interviews to all the news people who ask. If she thinks
she can undo a terrible first impression, it won't work.

You think this was the ONLY thing they got wrong?

I have read this entire post and no where on here does Aylsser attack any member of PT.
She doesn’t belittle, name call, or say anything mean.
She simply stated her opinion, which she has a perfect right to do, regardless of her age.
As far as saying something against a public figure each and everyone of us at one time has said something unkind about Paris Hilton, Obama, OJ, or the thousands of other famous or infamous people. They are not reading these posts and frankly they don’t give a hill of beans what we say or think.
However other people on PT do. I find it so mean and truly shameful how this young woman was attacked.
She is certainly an intelligent young woman, she is our future.
I think the so called adults should behave as such and stop trying to degrade this young woman.

[Edwina's Secretary]

I really wish people would just let her gracefully get back to her job and leave her out of the national spotlight unless if she is wanting to be in it (but since she's declining interviews left and right, I don't think she does).

That didn't last long, did it?

I didn't degrade Alysser, nor did I say she ever attacked any PT member, b/c she didn't. I just don't understand why its ok for some people to give their opinion on something here no matter how rude its ok b/c of their age. But an adult should know better. I've seen a lot of replies from Highly Intelligent ADULTS on here that were UNspeakably rude. Not on this particular thread but others. I often wonder if the Dog House should be renamed to the Snake Pit.
I didn't agree with your sign switching but didn't call you mean or shameful.
