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

I missed the question in Jenn's post, when I quoted it about not knowing what the Rapture is. I know what the Rapture is. It kind of boggles my mind that thousands of years ago God Flooded the earth b/c of people royalling screwing up - when what they were doing THEN is just a drop in the bucket to what they do NOW.

I totally agree with Pam - the statement that Catty posted is a total cult-ish type mentality. THAT is scary.

The rapture was a flood?? I like Blondie's version better.

No, Rapture will be by Fire if I'm not mistaken. And has not happened yet. It will deem the end of the world.
The Great Flood was when Noah built the ark and brought the animals 2 x 2. Ya know - like Evan Almighty!

I never watched Evan Almighty. Bruce, yes, lol.

Duh, I can't believe I didn't think of Noah and the Ark. Really good book about the making of the Ark, from a girl's point of view (fiction) is In the Shadow of the Ark. It was in my middle school and I sent it up to high school. Very interesting take on the flood and all that, and Noah's family.

Alysser has edited her post, lighten up folks. She did say it was her opinion.

[carole]

Agreed.

[Puckstop31]

Wow... The lefties must really be scared of Palin. To be cutting her up like this, AFTER McCain and her got spanked.

Hmmmmm. LOL

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.

So, it's fine to say whatever you want, whether it be an ignorant statement, because it's your own opinion.

Just want to make sure, so that the next time I make an ignorant statement, you don't jump down my throat. I mean, it will be my opinion and I can state it, right?

Not trying to be argumentative, just want clarification for the future. Honest.

It's not because you're young. I'm young too, this was the first election I voted in. And, if I could have voted in the last election, when I was 15, I would have, because I had followed it pretty thoroughly and had a clear choice (John Kerry).

Your statement, though, was pretty immature, in my opinion. It IS passing judgement when you are saying someone is something because of the way they look, and not basing it on anything more than that. I can say Joe Biden looks creepy, because he does to me, but that doesn't mean that he's, like, a pedophile or something, or that I would ever think he was unless if he did something of inappropriate nature.

But, now you're saying that you think she's "stupid" because of other things - which is fine. Yes, it's your opinion, and you have a right to think that way. Just like I have a right to think it's ignorant to base your opinion on someone's looks (which is what I originally thought your entire opinion of her was based on, judging by that post alone). I apologize if I upset you and for misunderstanding, but I was only basing my opinion on what you had posted that one time.


On the original topic: I don't think these accusations prove anything. These people won't even reveal who they are. If they would come forward, maybe it would be more believable for me. I have never heard anything about Palin being rude to people, whether it was the media, people helping with the campaign, or supporters. She was always polite in interviews. I'd have to have some evidence or hear from someone who has actually met her and talked with her to believe that she is anything but nice.

And, I haven't read the article, but in watching the news channels: are they really calling her ill-informed just because of the Africa comment, or is there more to it?

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.
