Hardly as frightened as you must be.
Palin/Beck/Limbaugh...these are the people who represent your politics?
Your party has been hijacked by cartoons and you think I'm scared?

Yes.

[clocker]

Edit: Fine then.
Let's for a moment assume you're correct and I (and by extension, ALL liberals because God knows, we all think in lockstep) am terrified of Sarah.
Delineate if you can, what exactly you think we have to be scared of.

BTW, saw this article in the Post today which explains some of the wonky Federal Stimulus reports that you were so pleased to ascribe to the ineptitude- or even better, some grand conspiracy- of the Obama admin.
Why don't you and all your tea party buds rally over at Deb Hefftner's sign shop and give her what for?

My personal chuckle comes from seeing these so called fiscal conservatives screaming blue in the face about how much they oppose the stimulus while handing over those publisher clearing house sized stimulus checks and claiming credit for them.

This disconnect is hardly new, in fact, Palin's entire story about Alaskan "independence" and fiscal responsibility is sheer myth.
Alaska is one of the most heavily subsidized states in the union, receiving @ $1.84 back from the Federal government for every dollar it sends in.
Basically, without the largess of the other states, Alaska couldn't exist.

This handout, coupled with oil royalties- which Alaska didn't share with the other states but distributed to it's inhabitants- made Alaska semi-solvent for the past few decades.
Unfortunately, the oil royalties are drying up and without their yearly bonus checks, Alaskans are faced with an increasingly lopsided budget.

Probably one reason that Palin hightailed it out of her job- and the entire state she claims to love so much- whoever has to deal with Alaska's money shortfall is going to have to make some very unpopular choices that will expose the myth of the independent Alaska so beloved of conservatives.

It's always bad when the emperor is shown to have no clothes...in Alaska it's doubly bad because you'll freeze your tail off.

Palin scares you because you don't know if she plays ball behind the scenes like the current crop of republicans does, and you can't take the chance she won't.

This apart from the fact of your elitist views regarding the suitability of a non-Ivy League educated candidate, which point we've already discussed.

As to the expanation offered up by The Denver Post, I ascribe no more credibility to it than you do to Foxnews.

It's the age we live in, you see...I mean, even our U.K. contingent doesn't waste time trying to defend Auntie Beeb anymore, ffs.

So, we're at an impasse.

I'm at somewhat of a loss since I don't recall my "elitist non-Ivy league candidate" bias having ever been put forth- much less "discussed"- and I prefer to apply Occam's Razor to the Denver Post story rather than believe some incredibly involved conspiracy theory as you so obviously do.

Your explanation about my fear of Palin is equally unhinged, since I don't even know what "playing ball behind the scenes like the current crop of republicans" is supposed to mean, it's hard to respond.

So basically, I'm an elitist and you're crazy.
What else is new?

I believe you are on record hereabout as preferring your candidate's education to Palin's, owing to it's obvious "superiority" as a qualifying element.

As to your newspaper, what recommends it over, say, The Washington Examiner?

[clocker]

Better quality newsprint?
Rocky Mountain water?
The fact that it actually interviewed a real person who explained that she had entered a ficticious district number just to complete the webform?

Not as sexy as the grassy knoll theory I'm sure you've formulated but somewhat easier to believe.

BTW, you are wrong about me being on record- here or anywhere else- about Obama's education being superior to Palin's due to it's origin.
Obama IS smarter than Palin but that's more a factor of her functional retardation than her place of education.
GWB certainly proved that an Ivy League diploma does not equate to intelligence.

You defended Ivy League education as superior to that available elsewhere.

Don't blame me for extending your logic for my purposes.

[clocker]

I don't recall- nor do I believe that you can cite- any instance where I said that.
I don't blame you for "extending my logic", I do blame you for making shit up.
