Sarah Palin: The Female Teddy Roosevelt?

Brian said: “Why would I cite similarities? There are none……”

When you first commented I wondered if you might be an idiot but gave you the benefit of the doubt. Now, you have removed that doubt.

Sarah Palin is a creation of Karl Rove’s brand of politics / he’s running the show in case you haven’t noticed). Karl is staying with the tried and true / (it worked before) of slithering up to the Metal Utility Building Evangelical / Fundie crowd. The well paid PR firms in this country know the catch phrases, and the citizens they wish to propagandize. Sarah Palin is only for the Gun/ Bible crowd – the rest of us ( I assume?) are negligee. This group represents a huge voting block. Stick with the wedge issues —throw the masses some red meat / lies are the name of the game (after all Machiavelli is Rove’s favorite reading) – and get them gnashing amongst themselves (name calling, insults – labels – etc) – Divided We Fall . No Sarah is no Teddy Roosevelt ( as if it matters) – she’s no reformer (check with Alaska citizens) what with 27 million in tax payer grant monies for Wasilla – and a 200 million (Gov office) listing for new monies for Alaska / who clean up with yearly royalty checks (each member of the family ) in the thousands – heating funds ( approx 1,200) – Wasilla had a population of 5,400 hundred, years ago when she was Mayor ( a town administrator handled most affairs). She won by 616 votes. As an operating room nurse I can tell you, that if the judgment she used (her own words) in having her water break – going ahead with a Republican speech in Texas ( ” I wouldn’t have missed it for the world” Sarah) – then taking an 11 hr flight plus another hours trip to the hospital in Wasilla with a KNOWN ‘high risk ‘ baby is evidence of sound thinking —-yikes people have a real problem. Any MOTHER (Democrat or Republican) will tell you that with a fifth child – things can happen QUICKLY – that if one’s water breaks ( Obstetrician’s advice not mine) you get yourself immediately to the nearest hospital —duh, you risk not only instant birth but INFECTION for the baby. Glass ceilings not withstanding – motherhood is the HIGHEST calling of a women / though some have maligned this ! Having worked in numerous hospitals, institutions, with my parents having a special needs child – I can tell you that this baby needs nurturing – special medical attentions – ( in the months following birth heart, vision, hearing, gastrointestinal problem can arise) and aggressive intervention from the beginning, so that he can reach his highest potential. I found the scenes at the Convention rather pathetic, with this new born being tossed around like a Christmas ham – and the youngest daughter (age six – bless her heart) having charge of him and spitting all over his head etc. Dear little child – what did she know? I would NEVER expose my ‘high risk’ baby to this mob scene / nor the crescendo of noise. Too much undue risk. A brief (if they needed it for PR) showing of the baby, in a proper carrier, r with a nanny tending to him / and then exiting would have been better judgment. The only importance of Sarah is John’s age and his history of cancer / prostrate problems etc. I personally think we’ve getting a bum rap anyway you go — WHAT CHOICE? Look at the multi millions it takes to run for office / leaving the multitudes, who might do a much better job / never getting to first base. Our nation is in grave peril – we”re in the midst of a financial tsunami – massive job losses – foreclosures – medical care a joke (only the rich and politicians have the best) —lipstick on a pig or a pit bull. is an insult to the intelligent citizens amongst us. Please no bottom feeder insults or labels – times are too serious. Besides if they can keep Sarh ticking till after the election –they’re in he clear. She’ll have a crisis at home – and JOE LIEBERMAN will get his promised VP position. Just watch.

Oh my Annie: It’s all “blah, blah, blah” after the first sentence.

What is it with you semi-literate left wing freakazoid loons with more bile than brains?

Haven’t you ever heard of a paragraph or a coherent thought?

I should thank you though. Every time you comment McCain and Palin go another point higher in the polls.

Are you sure you don’t work for Karl Rove?

Brian: If you weren’t an idiot you would listen to me.

Well Brian it’s hardly slander when I correctly characterize the character assasination being practiced by bottom feeders like you and Annie.

Annie Dear,

When you finish providing some sort of support for your claim that Rove is behind the Palin pick, I’d be very interested in reading about how Palin’s “water broke” while she was in Texas.

I’d also like for you to present any sort of documentation or support whatsoever that her child was “high risk” prior to birth as well as during the convention.

There are so many more Glittering Jewels of Colossal Ignorance within your post, but I won’t distract you with too many at a time.

Run along now and work on those. I’ll have more ready when you get back.

When you “characterize the character assasination”?? lol… could you be more of a douche bag?

and since you are apparently always right, or at least think you are, get your facts straight: I never attacked anyone’s character. read my fucking posts a little more thoroughly. actually YOU were the one to attack my character dumbass. All I did was attack the article which this string of comments is based upon. And because I don’t agree with it or the person who wrote it whom also probably thinks they are right, apparently that makes me an idiot?

” I never attacked anyone’s character. read my fucking posts a little more thoroughly. actually YOU were the one to attack my character dumbass. “

I guess in your delusional world this was a compliment?

“Why would I cite similarities? There are none……” between Sarah Palin and Teddy Roosevelt.

Something tells me the guttermouth language you used above is the tip of the iceberg we can expect from you bottom feeding trolls. If so, you won’t be around here long.

Idiot!

Then don’t let the door hit you on the way out. You’ve shown more a propensity for trash talk than you have towards making any meaningful or useful contribution to the discussion on this thread.

ANOTHER argument. IVY LEAGUE!

as dems like to complain about bush’s incompetence, he too was an ivy league grad, which cancels out that argument. because teddy is an ivy league grad makes him worthy like obama is nonsense because bush was also.

Further, from the complaints of the past of many leaders, many of which were ivy league grads means that maybe it is TIME FOR A CHANGE!

VOTE NON IVY LEAGUE GRADS, until you get a roosevelt. The closest of which is a palin, a two year governor from an Iowa College!

The world isn’t comparing Palin and Obama….. the media is. Most people’s views are completely skewed because of the media. Personally, I think when it comes to such a large decision making process for our country, the media should be held responsible for their actions. They should not be allowed to take things so far out of context as they usually do.

Does anyone else agree the media in this country is just screwed up?

Regardless…. I think the experience issue is a joke. It’s all subjective.

yes. the media has a blank sheet of paper and minutes to fill on TV. so, whatever “food” politicians/people give them they will eat it there. it keeps politicians in check with the public. like it or not! does it ALWAYS do it’s job. NO! is it better than wonder what the politicians are doing behind closed doors? maybe! for me, i don’t always want to know! there again, it’s up to the media to decide what is published, but ultimately for the viewers/citizens benefit. IDEALLY!

who said, it’s b/c she is from AK? Roosevelt was not from there! they had commonalities in their love of conservation and experience leading into the presidency. 80% of Alaskan’s believe she was doing a good job. so….your points are lack – respectfully!
