But imo, politics in this country are so screwed up. Again, like I mentioned in the political views thread, it seems like the politics in this country are like a big gang war. Instead of guns and knives, people are fighting by bashing and blindness.

Too often people just vote for somebody because of the party the guy is running for, or they vote against somebody because he's not from the party they support.

It's ridiculous. Politicians are the same way. You see and hear about them boycotting the other side just so they don't cross party lines and support something that the other party supports. It just seems like a big dividing factor and imo, is why this country is getting into the terrible shape that we're in.

Instead of trying to work together like our government should, and come up with varying solutions to problems, they'd rather stick it to the other side.

And of course, in true gang fashion, you have one side reppin the blue and the other reppin red

This is all my opinion of course.

Trust me, it's all about the fear factor. The media is, and always has been driven by fear.

I agree with your opinion above LTrain, well said.

And about the media, I agree with your assessment but that isn't always the case and not the only reason either. There are shady things at work inside the media...and whatever, I don't want to get into this on this thread, or this site for that matter lol.

No, I definitely agree with the "hiding" factor you're talking about. It's probably half fear, half hiding...

haha..

Either way, it's a joke!

Definitely a joke.

The biggest state argument is bunk. Alaska is the 48th largest state in terms of population. I'm counting the District of Columbia here because it gets electoral votes.

I think Obama's three terms on Illinois Senate and his three year span as a US Senator which was only cut short by his election as President count as significant experience.

And you act like Palin was at the top of the executive branch for a long time. It was almost the same length of time as Barack was a Senator.

really how many mainland U.S. citizens have ever been to alaska?? if the GOP is to be successful nationally they have to go more moderate and get away from the wacky right. those way to the right are only popular in the south.i think if mccain had picked romney as a VP he mightve won in 2008 but he caved in to the right wing and got palin and lost.

Well, for what it's worth...I have.

How do you reconcile the fact that the GOP is currently picking up steam doing the exact opposite of what you suggest? You win not by moving to the center, but moving the center to you. That's been proven time and time again.

McCain could have dug up Reagan's rotting corpse and put him on the ticket...he still would have lost.

Obama was a "senator" for exactly 140 days. After that, he was a presidential candidate.

I know I would have probably voted for McCain had he not chose wacky Sarah.....Instead I voted for no one, yet again.

He was still a Senator for three years. His campaigning took the seriousness of purpose away from about two of those years.

The problem is that he is still in campaign mode.

LOL...he always had his "seriousness of purpose." He just never had it for the senate seat.

And Sarah Palin dealt with a HUGE land mass, TONS of foreign policy and was at the TOP OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF A STATE.

But she didn't have any experience...so we elect a guy that was hardly a Senator.

That's one big thing I don't get--why is being a Senator the best route to become President? People are dumb. They call someone with executive branch experience too unexperienced and elect a guy into a higher position who has NO leadership experience whatsoever.

Not very much.

These people can't leave Sarah Palin or her supporters alone. I just watched segment which was a remote from a mall in Grand Rapids. Thousands of people are in line to buy Palin's book and get her autograph.She is not scheduled to arrive for 3 more hours.

What does the MSNBC reporter do?? Attack some poor lady in line because she(the lady) believes something about Palin that the MSNBC reporter claims is untrue. This reporter badgers her, but the young lady stood firm in her belief.

I don't get it. Why does MSNBC feel threatened by Palin and her supporters??
It would be laughable if it were not so sad.

Sarah Palin is a fucking moron

Palin has become a caricature of herself...I don't think enough people will take her seriously for her to become much of a threat.

The demographics of this country are setting up in such a way that a staunch conservative republican is going to have a real hard time getting elected President anytime in the near future. Things change, and I could end up being wrong, but the far right looks to be in political exile for a long time.

what did she believe to be true that was in question?

So, the complaints about MSNBC and Palin have migrated over here too, yay!

What was the question from the MSNBC reporter?

Deep thoughts for sure.

It is pretty simple really, Palin=New Bush.

I haven't seen much on MSNBC, but it is not just them, Palin is on a media blitz and she is a polarizing figure, so it is not a surprise.

What was the question from the MSNBC reporter?

It doesn't matter what the question was. What matters is that this reporter chose to attack someone because that person was buying Palin's book.

Anti-abortion, pro gun, anti tax, pro drill.............she scared the shit out of people, even the feminists cant handle her and she is a women.

You're incorrect.

She scared (scares) the shit out of LIBERALS, and that includes the media. They don't want her to be successful, so you see these types of attacks by media members. Don't forget: media elites think they know what's best for all of us.
