Blaming Palin - Enough.

[themadscientist]

we all know everything is Bush's fault. We will play that game for four years.

They should bring up as much of this stuff as they can as it will help distract from the disaster that is happening with the current Administration.

What ever. I still say Palin should run in 2012

[audtatious]

By that time, Obama's approval rating will be as low as Bush's.....

[WDRacing]

It'll be that low in 9 months when the eco hits 10% in every state and 14% in the bad ones.

On topic...there can be no doubt that having Palin on the ticket was extremely stupid. Not her fault...but stupid none the less. The GOP put forth very bad choices and lost the parties ability to put someone in office for a LONG time. Not that I mind...unless the GOP does a 180 I'll never support them again.

[audtatious]

Having McCain on the ticket was stupid.

[WDRacing]

No disagreement there.

[Cold_Zero]

Agreed with both of you guys. Though, she still is campaigning like there is no tomorrow. Remember, Jimmy Carter enjoyed much higher approval ratings in his first 100 days in office, compared to Obama. And Jimmy Carter left office in 1980 with a horrible.

In all fairness, Telco bumped the thread because there was new information about Bristol Palin. It's silly information on a silly topic, but it was still related to this thread.

He could've made a new thread but did this instead, and I'd rather people bump old threads than make news ones, so people can lay off in that regard. It takes a lot for me to want to defend Telco, but this time he posted this admittedly silly info in precisely the right place.

I do think that the rapid disintegration of Bristol Palin's relationship with the father of the child demonstrates that their relationship was the product of a campaign decision (just my own personal observation). I also readily admit that this, while admittedly scandalous, has zero impact on the politics and reality of March 2009.

If Palin ends up as the 2012 nominee, everyone can kiss the GOP goodbye. You may as well nominate Stone Cold Steve Austin.

If the GOP had run Tom Ridge or someone against Obama, they'd probably have won. The solution is NOT to go for some hardcore red-state social conservative in 2012, that isn't going to be electorally viable. Palin would be the perfect example of what NOT to do.

Michael Steele is GOOD for the GOP in my opinion, and I think he would make a decent Presidential nomination. He's trying to take the party in the right direction, make it more inclusive.

Ideological purity is great for garnering, say, radio listeners, but it isn't worth much in regards to winning elections. The GOP needs to stop giving Steele a hard time and let him do his thing, he's good for them.

Time will tell how viable some of these people will or will not be. If Obama still has a decent approval rating then a more moderate approach would need to be utilized via the GOP.

That's a fair assessment.

Her mom needs to get her and the family a subscription to The New York Times.

Austin in 12!

And that's the bottom line because the prez said so!

13 and 15!!! And... 2 mystery men who also claimed they bust a nut in her. LOL Atleast Bristol know that Levi is the father, so we think.

[audtatious]

DAMN! We need to burn them both at the stake.

How do you make Palin look bad? Paint her as a bad mother due to poor choices of her daughter in a liberally-steered society while avoiding 99% of what she stands for and has done politically

Now we know where all of the Democrat "vetters" are, they are still working at slinging mud on Palin instead of investigating Obummers picks for office.

[OriginalWheelman]

Politics is not a soap opera. Grow up. So the girl got pregnant. Bristol Palin is not her mother. Parenting is like programming. You put what you want into the computer, and hope it works out. Occasionally, the computer does something you don't want it to, no matter how well you programmed it. You can't yell at the programmer for hardware failures. Likewise, you can't blame Sarah Palin (the programmer) for the errors of Bristol (the computer).

You people make me sick.

[themadscientist]

Hey libs, where was your outrage then?









underage pregnant daughters are evil but getting a BJ in the oval and cheating on you wife is A-ok. You stand for interesting things.

I wonder if you would be as invasive with Obama's daughters.

I know you wouldn't because it doesn't serve your agenda but even if it did I would hope you would have the class not to but I know that you are'nt. If you think that statement is aimed at you then it probably is.

Tear the candidate to shreds, throw the kitchen sink at them but when you start hitting their family you cross a line that should not be crossed.

[audtatious]

No, they are OK with kids having sex and doing drugs unless the family has any association with republicans
