    She is a pathological liar.
    She is an arrogant yet ignorant idiot, just like Bush.
    She is a horrible parent, using her children for political gain at every opportunity without any concern to their best interests.
    She is a tax cheat.
    She is power mad, wanting to have more power as Vice President than Cheney had or even wanted.
    She is a rigid reich wing theocratic authoritarian.
    She is vindictive and manipulative.
    She wanted to ban books.
    She has abused whatever power was given to her.
    She is a treasonous secessionist.
    She is an anti-semite, given the sermons of her witch doctor preacher (turnabout on one’s preacher is fair play, according to Palin).
    She doesn’t read.
    She has set back the cause of feminism a generation. It is now even less likely there will be a woman President in our lifetimes, given her winks and flirts while debating. Did Margaret Thatcher ever wink or flirt?

    Margaret Thatcher was a mmmman ,BABY!! ..Yea.

    dd?

    holy crap that was funny

    She has a hunting bow named after her – the Sarah-Cuda, from Lakota Industries.

    http://www.lakotacorp.com/Sarahcuda.aspx

    It comes in pink camouflage, and 10% of the sale proceeds go to Down Syndrome research. A perfect Christmas present for Mrs. Viti!

    I admit I have no humor left when it comes to Sarah Palin. I simply do not respect a woman who uses her sexuality in an attempt to distract from her lack of qualifications. I resent the way the republican party uses Palin’s gender as a way to deflect any and all criticism of her policies and beliefs. These sexed up tactics from a political party that doesn’t support equal pay for women, isn’t pro-choice, and for years have been slandering teen-age mothers and working moms is beyond the pale. Actually, it’s worse – it’s a big lie. (Don’t believe me? Just wait until Hillary runs again.)

    I also resent that the rules of a very serious debate were lowered for a woman, and when that woman didn’t drool on stage people said that she “exceeded expectations”. WTF?

    Palin is an embarrassment to women and men who have studied and worked hard for their accomplishments.

    Told ya… I don’t find the Palin pick funny. Ultimately, she is McCain’s choice, and it seems he’s being judged accordingly.

  6. Von Cracker says:

    That’s a sweet bow! Pink camo!

    Oh yeah, Palin…umm…She’s a horrible bullshitter.

  7. anon says:

    I love that sly smile, the look of intelligence, the irreverence, the sense of hum – oh wait, that was Tina Fey. Never mind.

  8. Stella Bluez says:

    Amen Pandora….

    I could not say it better!!

  9. Not Brian says:

    I would normally hate Palin for her unabashed and creepy use of religion as a propaganda tool.

    I would hate her for her complete lack of sincerity.

    I would hate her for her gleeful ignorance of the issues central to governing at a national level.

    I can’t really hate her for that though… she was picked, she won the small town hick politician lottery…. she went from being an unqualified Governor of a small state to being on the Republican ticket. Any one of us would have said yes in the same situation.

    What do I hate about Palin? She is the pathetic, pandering, shameful product of divisive, made for focus groups, battleground state wooing, zero IQ politics in this country staring back at us.

    She reflects the shame we should feel every time we get partisan and pick a side rather than expecting more from the people we elect to spend out tax dollars and send children to war.

    She is why I will not vote for either Democrat or Republican. She is the worst of the quasi-intellectual food fight that we call politics in this declining nation.

    Delaware Dem + pandora, those are my reasons.

  11. Donsquishy says:

    MIKE,

    Answer the question in the post please or I will be deleting your coments from this post.

    answer why you like her or why you hate her.

  12. RAY K> says:

    I would love to have a VP who looks good in a pushup bra.

    As i`ve said before we live in a lobbyocracy, no matter who wins, K street rules us anyway.

    Paris Hilton for President!!!

  13. Unstable Isotope says:

    How do you know Biden doesn’t look good in a push-up bra?

  14. Joanne Christian says:

    Oh c’mon Hef–don’t make me do it….can’t you just post cute pictures of your new baby?

  15. Donsquishy says:

    bitterique I will do the same to you that I have done to mike w.

    answer the question or be deleted…

    you too Joanne…let’s go…

  16. pandora says:

    The post is about Palin, Mike. Can’t you answer the question? I’d have thought you’d sit up a little straighter at your keyboard and relish the chance to wax lyrical about your lady love.

  17. Donsquishy says:

    answer the question troll

  18. Not Brian says:

    You said nothing moron… that was the point… you did not answer the question and you did not discuss anyone’s post.

    You were lashing out like a 3 year old.

    You were whining.

    If you don’t like it Mike, I for one would be thrilled if I never had to glance past one of your posts looking for the relevant and coherent posts.

    I think it is wrong to censor… but striking meaningless babble is more like editing.

    Why don’t you re-post it so everyone can read your brilliant and insightful addition to the discussion that you were so unfairly censored for? Let’s see the stupid ass comment you made since you are acting oppressed.

    Troll.

  19. Not Brian says:

    DV- If you have it, please post for everyone the brilliant editorial you deleted so everyone can admire Mike’s oppression…

    You made a stupid off topic comment about Obama… you weren’t even responding to anyone… it wasn’t even a full sentence.

    You have posted to the thread several times, just to argue, never once on the topic.

    You add no value.

  20. Donsquishy says:

    deleted them NB.

    he needs to learn how to answer a post and not start attacking the commenters without even answering the post. It is utter bullshit what he does. He adds no fucking value. I’m tired of his shit and tired in general.

    no trolls on this thread.

    he jumped right in and did his thing. Fuck him.

  21. Donsquishy says:

    answer the question troll. then you can feel free to attack someone elses position.

    but until you learn how to take your own fucking position before you start attacking others, you aint getting a word in on this post

  22. Not Brian says:

    🙂

  23. pandora says:

    🙂 🙂 I second that!

  24. Pinhead says:

    Cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon, little boy BLUE and the man in the moon……

    My BOY WAS JUST LIKE MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

  25. pandora says:

    Children are off the table, Pinhead.

  26. Joanne Christian says:

    Alright Hef–but my reasons will seem really shallow, and on “gut”, not substance..but then again I’m an American voter…

    Dislike-Her personification reflects a crass, ill-mannered, sarcastic broad that I am afraid has come to define America–and I mourn that people “relate” to her. Her lack of social filter condones this rude, forward, atagonistic commentary and behavior, that I regret now permeates the upper echelon of career and employment choices…and has been legitimized.
    It has been more than a step back for the US in civility. Her words and tone normalize demeaning and mocking sarcasm–instead of indicting a dame. My daughters should look up to this?

    Like-She took the challenge, totally unscripted,and is a Washington outsider. Unfortunately, a bad script, and even worse improv–but I sure give her a ton of credit for getting right in there when asked, and taking all these hits from people like Joanne and beyond. That’s gotta be mooseskin!!

  27. pandora says:

    Decent answer, Joanne. Thanks. (Sorry, can’t praise any higher than that on a Palin post! 🙂 )

  28. pandora says:

    Not his first, Mike. You’d be wise to pick your friends more carefully.

  29. Pinhead says:

    Ya know what ya know. Clues are $100 each.

  30. Donsquishy says:

    thanks gorgeous,

    so my question is this to your Washington Outsider reference.

    Isn’t the point of Being a Washington Outsider to actually not do things like they do in Washington.

    The only thing “outsider” about her is that she isn’t in Washington YET. She operates no differently than an “Insider”.

    She is a pure politician. She has abused her power repeatedly. Hardly an outsider.

    This BS that she has people believing is incredible to me. An OUTSIDER means that she is different. Will be different. Will do things differently.

    BUT in AK, she has done nothing different than what they do in DC.

  31. pandora says:

    Still doesn’t sound like an answer to the POST!

  32. Donsquishy says:

    answer please troll…and just an answer.

    it is so hard for you isn’t it.

    We are going to treat like a 4 year old. Since that seems to be what you respond to best.

    if you do it, we will take you to the Dollar store and let you pick anything in the ENTIRE store.

  33. Donsquishy says:

    I will be up all night little fella. my son and I are enjoying this.

  34. pandora says:

    I answered the post. Comment #6.

    You, however, have not.

  35. Donsquishy says:

    pandora,

    admit it…you are loving this

  36. pandora says:

    Answer the question, Mike. Geez, why is this so hard for you?

  37. Donsquishy says:

    Pandora,
    I will take you to $5 below just for following directions!

  38. pandora says:

    Big time, DV!

  39. pandora says:

    I love Five Below!

    And Mike, I’ve been sitting up with a sick (sleeping) child. I’ve read every comment before they were deleted. You never answered the question. Your first post dealt with Biden, I believe, not Palin.

    Nice try.

  40. Donsquishy says:

    yep

    he hasn’t come close

  41. pandora says:

    I think we drove him away. Hey, according to Mike rules… we won!

  42. pandora says:

    spoke too soon

  43. Donsquishy says:

    I will even help you out.

    I don’t like Palin because…

    or

    I like Palin because….

  44. mike w. says:

    I like palin because she respects the 2nd Amendment (an actual enumerated right)

    I don’t like her because she’s not as big a fan of an unenumerated right (abortion) which I do believe is protected under the 9th Amendment.

  45. pandora says:

    That’s okay, LG. I can read between the lines!

  46. Pinhead says:

    That is very cowardly to keep deleting his answers. There was nothing wrong with them. You should get your heads examined.

  47. pandora says:

    Mike has a crush on me!

  48. Donsquishy says:

    couldn’t resist could you? just had to go do the thing that got you in trouble the first time.

    back to time out you go little fella

  49. Pinhead says:

    What a DAD!

  50. Donsquishy says:

    Oh I think you know little guy

  51. Pinhead says:

    I’m losing what little respect I had for you DV. I don’t see anything in Mike’s answers that warrant the liberazi wand of censorship. Perhaps you should try to outline WHAT he is doing.

    But I guess you’re the DECIDER!

  52. mike w. says:

    What responding to Pandora with “Don’t flatter yourself” is enough to get your panties in a bunch DV?

  53. Pinhead says:

    “What responding to Pandora with “Don’t flatter yourself” is enough to get your panties in a bunch DV?”

    Just trying to preserve evidence for ya Mike……can’t figure out what DV is going off about…..must be sympathy PPD.

  54. Donsquishy says:

    I’m losing what little respect I had for you DV

    WOW, I’m flattered. Coming from a chicken shit that changes his name to disguise himself.

    I will try not to cry myself to sleep over it.

  55. Pinhead says:

    “WOW, I’m flattered. Coming from a chicken shit that changes his name to disguise himself.”

    Still funny every time you say that!!!

    It’s no disguise to you DV. You seven knobs distribute a talking points memo?

  56. Donsquishy says:

    I outlined what it was in comment #12 and then followed up with a better description as to why in I think #21 and in between there too.

    you troll around here enough to know what this turd does. You are hardly different. The only thing I will say in your “defense” is that you don’t blow every commenter that agrees with you. You blatantly attack a commenter. You know you are an asshole and you don’t bother taking yourself that serious.

    that being said, you’d be much more tolerated if you kept your own name and tried to meter your attacks especially when it comes to things that center on one killings oneself and femine body parts….

    there is a line and you don’t seem to know how to toe it.

  57. Donsquishy says:

    It’s no disguise to you DV. You seven knobs distribute a talking points memo?

    but to the many readers we have Redproud you are not being honest. The people that come here enough know who I am regardless…

    big diff

    dick head.

  58. Pinhead says:

    “but to the many readers we have Redproud you are not being honest. The people that come here enough know who I am regardless…”

    HAHAHA….good one….”many readers”…..”know who I am regardless”

    Hooo! {head between knees}

  59. Donsquishy says:

    many =’s more than 3

    if we count all your names it is like 20

  60. Pinhead says:

    You have more than three readers?

    You seven don’t count, so we’ve got Mike W, me, and Dave Burris.

    Did I miss anyone?

  61. Donsquishy says:

    guess we found out Mike W’s bed time….

  62. mike w. says:

    We’ve got a new low…….DV is resorting to “your mom” comebacks.

  63. Pinhead says:

    Sorry, she’s Libertarian (but not big on Bob Barr)

  64. Pinhead says:

    Oh…..I get it. Is Mike W. posting as you?

  65. Donsquishy says:

    I think so yes…

  66. Donsquishy says:

    which would be I’m pretty sure breaking some sort of unwritten code.

  67. Donsquishy says:

    don’t do it again mike this is your warning.

  68. Linoge says:

    So, wait a second… Mike responding to actual comments in this thread is not permitted, but everyone else responding to his (now deleted) comments with name-calling, jibes, and general-purpose childisness is perfectly fine and acceptable? On the metric of “adding something to the debate”, you all fucking failed, multiple times, even if you did answer the original question.

    Way to set the tone for this site!

    *waits for this comment to be deleted*

  69. Pinhead says:

    I have officially administered an IQ test to DV. He ranks in the tail chasing cat percentile.

  70. Joanne Christian says:

    Geez, you guys really hung in there last nite-I’m usually the last to bed, but had to crash last night. Nursery duty huh?

    DV-the Washington outsider is more in reference to her lack of gladhanding, and schmoozing the “Big Players” in town, and unfamiliarity w/ the hierarchy. Coming from Alaska, there really isn’t even a recognized bloodline (versus pipeline tee hee), of legacy politicians that have “raised” their legislators to the office, and have given us what we’ve gotten. That may be refreshing. We’ll see.

  71. Donsquishy says:

    I hear what you are saying, but in my opinion that is like trying to say someone that belongs to a country club in NY wouldn’t know how one operates in NC…

    she is only an outsider b/c she doesn’t have the contacts….yet

  72. Joanne Christian says:

    Yes, but the analogy is flawed. The New Yorker came to NC looking to join a club. Palin’s serendipitous rise thru politics really leaves a roadmap at home. It’s worked for her so far–would she abandon that now? Rural, rugged America west of the Mississippi HATES Washington (in my general, having lived there opinion-before someone here fires back wanting sources and graphs), and the bureaucracy and “suit” it represents. It may well be the club she doesn’t want to join. Her risk is being a membership courtesy of the Boss. But she sure doesn’t hide her disdain–and the Boss, well you know…he’s just a maverick…if he says so himself. We’ll see. I’ll stand by my “like”–hey it’s not that damaging!

  73. Donsquishy says:

    her only disdain is that she isn’t in the club. Once there she won’t be any different.

    proven by her hiring lobbyist while she was Governor and her requesting earmarks while mayor.

    I mean really, how has she show she is different from a DC insider?

    come on Joann, how can you respect a woman that thinks the earth, I mean BELIEVES beyond a doubt, that the planet was magically placed here a few thousand years ago…

  74. mike w. says:

    “I mean really, how has she show she is different from a DC insider? ”

    How has Obama? (serious question btw?)
