Sarah Palin Speaking at Tea Party Convention

:| Ok now I know you don't know what you are talking about.. yeah he was so much a RINO he was the RUNNING canidate for the republican party.. He is so much a RINO that he is one of the larger voices of criticism that is listened to within the party against the democrats..... Uhh yeah it is.. Obama's policy is more or less what Bush Senior.. If you don''t think so I suggest you read into foriegn policy especially in the Middle East.. If he weren't he wouldn't be in Afghanistan.. A Liberal would try to impose outward influence by increase social rights with out direct intervention.. A neo conservative would go in gun hoe no matter the costs and try to rework the entire government.. A realist would see the Taliban as a threat to the entire region for stability, and instead of reorganizing the area, they would just try to put down teh Taliban.... Bush did this specifically within Iraq where he saw that only worse things would come from removing Saddam from power.. Realists go diplomacy first then go into with a big stick if things don't happen and its worth doing.. A Neo conservative forgoes the diplomacy and sees what ever the United States does in the region as positive even if its in their own interests.. A Liberal opens diplomatic lines and tries to influence through outside methods for social change.. Obama has done none of those, if anything his strategy as of right now is that of a realist.. That even after talks the Taliban has not cooperated and it has seen as a distabalizing force with in the region that will cause problems when their neighbor is a unstable country with nuclear weapons.

You'll excuse me if I don't associate "dairy queen manager" with "doctor" or "lawyer" or "President of the United States".

I'm afraid we'll have to disagree. I'm afraid I don't think a dairy queen manager takes the same skill, or has the same pressures as any of the latter three. Nor do I think any president will ever be elected due to their fast food service skills.

That is wrong.. Neo Conservative strategy is that of unilateralism.. Diplomacy doesn't work in their eyes, and what ever their interests are in the region regardless of how selfish is still the best for the region.... Its bascially the closest thing to imperialism there is by today's standards.

Realism, hah, now there's a self-indulgent phrase.

Does she still think that being close to the commies gives her experience with foreign policy?

[QUOTE="airshocker"]

To me she does. I don't cringe everytime I hear her speak, as opposed to our President.

Apparently the tea party thinks so as well.

Pirate700

Agreed.

[QUOTE="PannicAtack"]No. That explanation doesn't explain a thing. Obama isn't a leader? What makes a leader? Someone you agree with? As it is, she said something completely devoid of meaning. All she offered at that point was "he's big-government" and "he's soft on terrorism!" She doesn't offer any sort of barometer as to what constitutes "Commander in Chief." Who's "Commander in Chief?" Bush? Reagan? Oh, it'd be easy with Reagan - "We need a Commander in Chief, not a movie star!"fidosim

[QUOTE="gameguy6700"]

She's an ex-VP candidate, ex-governor of Alaska, and a Fox News pundit, so like it or not she does have credibility. Now, whether or not she's an intelligent person and have her thoughts on anything entertained by anyone is an entirely different matter...

Anyway, I hate the Tea Party movement. Not because of its ideals, but rather because everyone involved with it is a tool. The whole thing was started by a TV pundit (arguably the dumbest one of them all) and is heavily supported/organized by corporations, most notably HMOs. The people involved have been tricked into thinking they're protesting for their own interests when in reality they're being used by the elite of America to protest for the interests of corporations and the richest 1% of Americans who get enough tax breaks as it is.

Since when has anything not been run by people with lots of money? Obama is owned by big money. Though why he endeavors to cripple us with taxes boggles my mind.

It means that Sarah Palin is butthurt that she has only has a BA in journalism which she struggled to earn after attending six different bottom-tier colleges (three of which were community colleges) whereas her running mate's opponent and the current president of the USA graduated Harvard Law School with a JD.

In other words, it's typical conservative anti-intellectualism.

gameguy6700

Conservatives don't hate intellectuals. They hate socialists and liberals and statists.

How's that socialism working out for you, by the way? Not very well, it seems. California up to it's neck in debt, Massachussetts losing to a Republican, and New Jersey losing to a Republican governor all point to people not liking their taxes going up to pay for things that don't even have anything to do with them, among many other ridiculous socialist ideals.

Unfortunately most liberal intellectuals seems to believe we can pay for everything when we can't.

No, Scandanavia does NOT have the highest tax rates. Try again.

[QUOTE="With-Hatred"]You relize that taxes are lower in the U.S. than any other developed country and that the countries with the highest tax rates have the happiest people right? Keep up with that socialist talk though, it'll make you look smart..........

With-Hatred

As opposed to countries with little to no economic freedom whatsoever, including self proclaimed "communist" countries? No. Sure, they have fairly high taxe rates, but they usually more capitalist than they are socialist. The appropriate term is "mixed economy."

I like how she writes down all the important things she has to say on her hand........

Your point was that countries wtth the highest tax rates are the happiest. Fact is, it's not so lulz.

[QUOTE="Severed_Hand"][QUOTE="Insane00"] I really don't know what to say. Is this sarcasm or just heartlessness.With-Hatred

[QUOTE="T_P_O"][QUOTE="airshocker"]

He said he wants healthcare reform. As in positive change. Not an overhaul that would put us into more debt and require more taxes so that the lazy orunwilling can be paid for by hard-working Americans.

Yes, it is socialism.

Pixel-Pirate

I agree. Didn't he just speak out against elitism somewhere in this thread and now he's calling anyone who needs financial assistance lazy? I find that rather offensive. It'd be like if I said anyone who doesn't support Obama is a racist. It's a gross generalization.

Not to mention calling people lazy for being unable to afford hideously expensive healthcare.

i know of sarah palin to be a complete airhead.

i read recently that john mccain believed that it was "gods plan" for her to be vice president. i found that absurd.

[QUOTE="Mafiree"]

Republians are anti-intellectual.

I agree.

Bit of a flimsy excuse, isn't it?

i read a newspaper article of the tea party convention with sarah palin just before.

"a revolution"? from what i could gather from all of the content in the report she was using reverse psychology to psych out democrats. i understand the united states is more divided than ever and that only added fuel to the fire.

it is getting scary.

You mean after she spent the whole speech attacking Obama for using a teleprompter? She needs to write on her hand simple things such as energy, tax cuts and lift the peoples spirits? She needs to remember TAX CUTS?!?!?!?! How does that not make her a giant hypocrite. And for people doubting the stimilus.

The fact that there's even one person willing to vote that woman into the presidency is extremely unsettling to me.

I understand their position against the federal deficit. But I find it kind of ironic that for people who complain about paying higher taxes, would spend $500 just to hear a bunch of people preaching to the choir.

I too find it extremely ironic that the Tea Party members are anti-tax increase when each and every one of them spent over $490 just to be at that convention with Sarah Palin. The hundred of thousands of dollars that went into that event could have been used for something useful in this country like inner-city adolescent activities funding, shelters, or even sent to one of the many organization helping to rebuild Haiti.

That's the thing about convservatives. They are rarely willing to spend to money, but when they do, the spend it on all the wrong things.

King George?

Sarah Palin is somebody who's had their 5 minutes of fame and now needs to go away. I don't think she's stupid, but I also don't think she's all that bright.

There are a few conservatives in this thread who believe the down trodden deserve it and shouldn't be helped by such fundings. Basically "Not in my back yard!"

one nation under god? if that is the revolution that is in the mind of sarah palin and her fellow right wing friends, some people in the united states are in big trouble.
