Palin At The Tea Party Convention

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stefan-sirucek/did-palin-use-crib-notes_b_452458.html

she just spoke at my sister-in-law's university. she kept referring to "teabaggers" (nice one sarah!) and said texas is "alaska's little sister". that's going to go over real well with the texas voters.

I love her cheat notes ! Hahahahhahahah
And to think she critics Obama on using a teleprompter. How can she be taken seriously ? Please Sarah go get a job as a weather girl – perhaps you can handle it with your cheat notes.

Average Joe says "Yes as qualified as Obama or Biden "????? – ARE YOU A JOKING ? Are you kidding me ? Biden elected in office at 29 yrs old . I guess that means he must be about 33 years old to be equal to Palin. You just lost all credibility to say anything about any subject because you are so politically partisan.
She has NONE of their back ground – her experience doesn't come close to what they have accomplished while in office – nor not nearly as smart . She was a failure as governor putting Alaska in the red. She was the ear mark queen she is every thing she speaks against. She wasn't even a good student. She knows nothing on foreign affairs.
Read up Average Joe I am so surprised you made that remark which is just CRAZY . Read " Game Change "
And my last post the word was supposed to be "criticizes"

Tea party right now consists of all republicans and some democrats. If it had existed five years ago, it would have consisted of all democrats and some republicans. It needs some kind of platform beyond cleaning out DC. And if it's to achieve a separate existence from the big two, it has to be in favor of things they are against and vice versa.

Palin's college grades were much better than Obama's, Andrea. Obama never even graduated.

larry…..is that from FactlarryD.com?

joe sez…."She reminds me of a typical whiney, self grandizing and promoting, spoiled, back biting, over the fence gossiping bitch like most women in America."

joe, you're an asshole

Larry D. where do you get your misinformation from ? You just make it up ? And you think people will believe you ? That must be it .
Obama GRADUATED from Columbia and Harvard law . If you dont know Columbia and Harvard are both top schools and both hard schools to get in to .
Palin could never even get in to any of those schools . She had to go to 5 colleges just to get a BA degree. And will not release her grades . She attended Hawaii Pacific University and North Idaho College not exactly hard schools University of Idaho and attended Matanuska-Susitna College majoring in communications – not exactly a hard major . Then she returned to She returned to the University of Idaho to get her BA .
If you think Palin is smart and smarter than Obama – I cant even talk to you because you are on another planet

this from Fox News…….

"The announcement came with an official platform that could help define what the multi-faceted tea party movement stands for and expects from the candidates it supports. The group's leaders plan to support candidates who stand for a set of "First Principles."

Those principles are: fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, less government, states' rights and national security.

Prospective political candidates will be expected to support the Republican National Committee platform."

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/02/05/tea-party-movement-produces-new-political-organization/

Obama never graduated from either of those fine schools, Andrea. There's talk he never even attended.

Palin may not be the smartest woman in the world, but finishing up her education shows determination and fortitude, which is more than we can say from a dropout like Obama.

walter,

"fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, less government, states' rights and national security."

Too bad the Republicans don't follow the Republican National Committee platform. As one of the Tea Party Convention organizers said (paraphrasing), "we're not going to move to the Republican party, but we'd be happy if they moved to us."

I'm also wondering what the libs are for if they aren't for the above quoted principles. Perhaps they are for fiscal irresponsibility, more and more government, no states rights, and a lack of national security. Come to think of it, that sounds just like them.

Prospective political candidates will be expected to support the Republican National Committee platform…..means…….we're not going to move to the Republican party?

you been drinking tonight?

I'm guessing her 15 minutes of fame are about over.

LOL

These comments are hilarious.

Palin/Bachmann 2012
Embrace the Crazy!!

LOLOL

OH larry d. Yeah just like Obama wasn't born here in this country.
The scary thing is Sarah Palin SUPPORTERS who seem to think not knowing much makes a better candidate than a educated one. And the fact she plays on that in her speeches and her supporters applaud her when she says it . that's scary – that's third world countries thinking .
I guess my daughter never went to Columbia either and never read Obamas name .
Those are scary people who want Joe the plumbers to run our country over a college educated professor and think that's somehow cool ????

Andrea, I know plenty of college educated professors that wouldn't last two weeks at a "real" job.

For the record, I'm not a Palin fan.

Most college professors have been institutionalized as wards of the state since the age of 5 or so. It is bound to affect their thinking and make their ideas a little off as far as the real world is concerned.

Who knows if Obama finished college, Andrea? Why on earth would he refuse to release his transcripts if he's so brilliant?

from FactlarryD.com…….."Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School"

I agree with you…..that's pretty easily faked

That should mean Obama graduated in the top 20% of his class, but not the top 5%.

http://webdocs.registrar.fas.harvard.edu/ugrad_handbook/current/chapter2/honors_requirements.html

We'd know for sure if Mr. Transparency released his college records. What's the big secret ?

larry…check it out…. King is not repeating your claim that Obama never graduated

you need to get your doggie back on his leash

How could Obama have graduated from Harvard…..at the same time he was working directly with Bin Laden in Afghanistan? He's good….but he can't be in two places at once.

What's of interest here in the comments is how education is the enemy of conservatives. Not surprising, mind you….just interesting.

Andrea has it right.

And g-rub……that could be true…..professors not being able to last at some physical job, that is…….but so what? What does that prove? Professors are educators…..not mechanics.

No one's saying education is the enemy of conservatives except Andrea and you, Reverend. The question is, if Obama is so brilliant, why doesn't he release his academic records? What is he hiding?

I don't need backup, walt. No one here can prove Obama graduated from any college or university.

this from FactlarryD.com……Barack Obama (CC'83) becomes the first Columbia graduate elected president of the United States.

http://www.columbia.edu/cu/news/08/11/obama.html

No transcript, no proof, walt. Do you know what college transcripts are?

You're slipping…

"No one's saying education is the enemy of conservatives except Andrea and you, Reverend."

Aren't these the people who, like, do the educating….

"Most college professors have been institutionalized as wards of the state since the age of 5 or so. It is bound to affect their thinking and make their ideas a little off as far as the real world is concerned."

If you're not saying those "wards of the state" are enemies of conservatives…..then, what in the heck are you saying? You wouldn't want people that detached from the "real world", professors whose ideas are a "little off"…..to be teaching American youth, would ya'?

I'm not saying their enemies at all, Reverend. They're fine just where they are, on college campuses.

Reverend, I wonder if you have any idea what many college profs really do and think. I got a real kick out of watching that one from UC-Berkley with Glenn Beck last week. They agreed that they wouldn't agree on much but the man was a physicist and he had some great info about where the Iranians probably are on their rocketry. I bet if they talked about politics he was just as far left as the average member of that faculty or the whole community.

Andrea, do you not know that there is no real proof of Obama's graduation from either of those schools other than his transcripts which he won't allow people to see. I wonder why that is. Surely he has a reason. I keep wondering what it could be. We can't see any of the papers he wrote so maybe he didn't even write one. He had to have a Master's thesis and a Doctoral dissertation and we can't even read either of them. I really am starting to wonder if he did, indeed, write those papers, at all. Some lefties say they could have become lost but for some reason I just can't accept that their libraries are both that incompetent.

Hey, Andrea, this may be a happy note for you. I got kicked off a very large forum yesterday for 72 hours because I mentioned that none of his papers are being used to prove anything. It was the first time for something like this and I will go back with a vengeance against those lib mods.

what I find interesting is that some reject an article by the official newspaper of Columbia University and yet believe everything about the talked over, chopped up and heavily edited ACORN tapes.

is that about right?

Seeing is believing, Walt.

Odds are, Obama graduated but took as many marxist courses as he could and wrote papers that would be viewed as fairly radical by most Americans.

But we'll never even know if he graduated, unless he releases his transcripts.

The Blind Men and the Elephant

It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind

The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
"God bless me! but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!"

The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, "Ho! what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me 'tis mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!"

The Third approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a snake!"

The Fourth reached out an eager hand,
And felt about the knee.
"What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain," quoth he;
" 'Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!"

The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said: "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!"

The Sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a rope!"

And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!

So oft in theologic wars,
The disputants, I ween,
Rail on in utter ignorance
Of what each other mean,
And prate about an Elephant
Not one of them has seen!

John Godfrey Saxe (1816-1887

"Odds are, Obama graduated…."

we're getting somewhere at least

Frye,
Your poem reminded me of a movie I saw a few days ago. Val Kilmer played a man who had been blind for twenty years. Then a doctor performed surgery restoring his sight. But even though the blind man could now see, he was still blind mentally, because he didn't have any reference points to tell him what he was seeing. He couldn't, for instance, distinguish an apple from a tree by sight, because he had never seen these things before. His early reaction to sight was only a deeper confusion than he had previously as a blind man.

Glenn Beck has NOT denied he raped and killed a girl in 1991. What is he hiding?

Above is a great way of discussing right? *irony*

Ridiculous claim followed by; "but why isn't he proving it".

Until Larry D. can prove he isn't a child-molester I'll believe he is.

Most television and radio talk show hosts do not have to deny they've raped and killed in order to hold their jobs, Carl. Most recent presidents have released their college records during the elections as part of the nation's vetting process. I'm simply wondering why Obama refuses to do so, even while his lemmings insist he's a brilliant academic.

Maybe you don't understand these differences. I'll just assume you're not so bright.
