Tsunami coming! Head for the hills!

All right , you mugs . So when are the Democrats going to find a good candidate for 2012 ?

“Majority Of Country Thinks Sarah Palin Lacks Ability To Be President”

Looks like Obama and Palin have something in common after all.

If Obama is the Democratic candidate in 2012, then the Democrats also don’t have a viable candidate.

Great to start the week with some good news!

What?! Nearly 60% of the country does not feel that Palin has the ability to be an effective president! Must be a liberal conspiracy!

Is it the same 60% who don’t think Obama’s doing a good job?

This comment is the winner on this thread. Nothing more need be said.

Palin could have changed this perception.

If she had been willing to take the time to study, knock heads with the press, and to travel and visit people and places more substantive than a Beck rally.

The press has long portrayed every Republican presidential candidate that’s come along as either being an intellectual light-weight or as corrupted by the political process.

Just as others have, Palin could have taken it to the people via the aforementioned traditional methods that would earn her some gravitas.

Being seen as a national whipping girl for the elites has gleaned her some respect and some validity as a political possibility, it won’t take her across the finish line.

Let”s see, July 2009 Sarah Palin resigns as governor of Alaska and the Left cackles that her political career is dead.

Then in July 2010 a Public Policy poll shows her tied with Pres Obama, both at 46% approval (oops-maybe not dead).

Now the meme is that while she may not be dead politically, she sure ain’t up to the task of being President (admittedly, she doesn’t have quite the golf game of Obama).

As has been pointed out many times, the Left always misunderestimates Sarah Palin. Please continue to do so. You will be refudiated in Nov 2012.

The fact is that Palin has way more experience then Obama does. The media and people like Glynnis are trying to pull the wool over our eyes.
Obamas lack of ability is hidden and covered up by teleprompters and media cheerleaders
He is a community organizer and that is it… Palin was a business owner,mayor and governor. Alot more then 99% of Americans out there.

GLYNNIS:

There are two TYPES OF POLLS out there.

ACTION POLES: If the election were held tomorrow, would you vote for A or B?
These poles are usually VERY ACCURATE, we’re good at predicting election outcomes, etc.

OPINION POLES: Do you think/like/want something or someone?
These poles are 90% garbage! I can get ANY OUTCOME I prefer, simply by the way I phrase my questions.

In this case, the 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair pole is even more biased than Glynnis’ story. You notice the same poll didn’t ask the same questions about our current president.

Ask someone if they think Obama is well educated. Assuming all liberals say “yes, or course”, ask them in what specific area they think he is well educated. They will immediately begin stuttering like Mel Tillis.

The reason is that our president is NOT well educated. He is WELL INDOCTRINATED!

You’re stretching here, leaving out things he’s done (U.S. Senator) while inflating hers (small town mayor and half-term governor). Slick tactic though.

Sworn in as Senator Jan 2005, began presidential campaign Feb 2007. That’s a lot of experience for Senator Present.

She would be an absolute disaster with any sort of power

She is too stupid to understand simple concepts and can barely read off cards during speeches.

She could barely spit out 2 coherent sentences when debating Biden. It was a laughingstock

This country elected a community organizer to run the worlds largest military and economy…I think any of us could do better then him….

Obama has only 37 percent now of all males support! and 36 percent of white support.
his ship is sinking fast liberals… only a year and half in office…

Why is the left-leaning media so afraid of Sarah Palin?

Dr.: You would make a good replacement for Robert Gibbs. You have a great ability to deny the obvious.

More important is that Majority Of People Think Barack Hussein Obama Lacks Ability To Be President!

He is a great “Community Organizer” he should teach it…oh yes…he already has!

Arguably, the people this survey does spell trouble for are the Republicans: with just over two years to go to the 2012 election they still have no reasonably viable candidate to run against Obama.
========================

The Republicans shouldn’t even think about who is going to be their candidate in 2012 until after November. Talking about a candidate now will taint the focus they need for November. Not to mention giving the left a side non issue to focus on.

As for this statement I would say the Democrats have the same problem. They would probably love to have a viable alternative for Obama for 2012 at this point but unless he bails they have no choice but him. They only have to hope his negative numbers don’t dip to 20% by then.

Thank you Captain Obvious. The point I’m trying to make is that her experience really wasn’t more substantial than his, so it’s a silly argument to make.

A year ago, I would have said that the Republicans shouldn’t nominate Palin, because the constant smears from the leftwing media would make it impossible for her to beat their beloved Obama. But that’s not true any more. Obama has proven to be such an incompetent, ideologically-driven politician — violating all his promises of transparency and accountability with the worst sort of backroom dealings and pork barrel spending — that even the 24/7 adulation from the media can’t change people’s opinions. Voters now know exactly what Obama stands for, and the moderates and independents have abandoned him by the millions.

As it stands now, the Republicans could nominate any one of the party’s likely candidates and win handily in a national election.

Here check out the numbers:

paulmdoro said:

With his gaffe-prone White House, I haven’t seen any evidence of it yet. But perhaps he’s just a slow learner.

My guess is that Palin’s biggest obstacle is also something that has helped her appeal to conservatives– her praise for rugged individualism.

I get the sense that Sara and Todd Palin are very much what they advertise themselves to be. That they do like to do their own thing and it is “my way or the highway” in their book. They are used to political environment in Alaska that encourages encourages a mentality that would be seen as self-indulgent political suicide anywhere else.

I think that explains Palin’s trouble within the McCain campaign and it explains her incomprehensible refusal to answer a question from Katie Couric that ANYONE could have fudged, and also her resignation as governor.

My guess is that Palin was insulted and tried of the political gauntlet tutoring she was receiving and tried of the inherent condescension in Couric’s question. She turned to stone and took her ball and went home.

You can’t do that in national politics. She HAS to play the game. Maybe with enough media ridicule and enough polls she’ll come to see that and get to WORK.

Otherwise, she’s going to have to settle for being a rock star rather than a policy maker.

$arah is a circus performer. What does she care what people think as long as they BUY tickets.
The people that take her seriously are absurd. $arah’s joke is on them. Cha-ching.

Hey it takes a lot of courage to quit your job as governor of one of America’s least-populated states halfway through your first term. Now that is executive leadership.

Cecelia said:

I’m not sure I agree with you there, Cecelia. Dole and McCain may have been given more deference because of their military backgrounds, Certainly, Dole was a true military hero, a hero simply because he did his duty, and did it will, in the best traditions of our nation. But, Dole was a sour old curmudgeon, without any help from the press, and McCain did a pretty good job wandering around that stage without any prompting from the press corps. If anything, McCain suffered more from Palin than the press.

Should I add the following?

You really have no clue regarding Sarah Palin. If she has proved anything over the past year it is that she doesn’t have to “play the game”. What she recognized during the 2008 campaign is that the “game” is rigged in favor of the Democrats. So she has created a new game, with her own rules, and her own methods of communication. It has obviously escaped you that by doing so, she has become the most influential non-office holding individual in the America.

Cecelia said:

So she really wasn’t at the rally on the Mall where perhaps a million people cheered her? Oh, and the 20 out of 30 candidates she has endorsed who won don’t exist?

I wish I could agree with you, Azarkhan, but her “new game” will only continue to make her a personality.

It won’t make her president.

Exactly correct, Azerbijan! What people called “gaffes” during the last Presidency was merely a reflection of Bush’s salt-of-the-earth, regular guy, Washinton-outsider have-a-beer-ability. Any misstep Obama makes, on the other hand, is a clear indication of his unfitness for office. When will those crazy Demoncrats learn?

There’s another way to look at that, Truth. When Bush stumbled on a word, that proved he was an idiot. If Obama mispronounces corps or says we have fifty-seven states, he simply made a mistake.

Coming from a supporter of Sarah I even know she’s not ready for the task of presidency. ..I don’t think she’d make a bad VP, but I guess it all depends on who she would be running with. ..prediction, far lefts biggest fear/night mare will be vice president in 2016..go Sarah

paulmdoro said:

Cry me a river. I can’t say it any better than Ken Blanchard:

“When Sarah Palin resigned as governor almost everyone (yours truly included) thought it was a dumb, even inexplicable move. Well, guess who looks smart and who looks dumb now. . . . Had she remained a governor with hopes of a presidential run in 2012, she would have had to start all over again. She would also have left behind a Dan Quayle-like reputation. Palin guessed that this was her year to be a national force, and she guessed right.”

What is important for the nation is opposing the socialist policies of the Obama-Reid-Pelosi troika, not serving out a term as governor of Alaska. Sarah Palin has done that magnificently.

I’m sure Mel Tillis would think you are well educated with that comment. I’m also guessing that you think that an Ivy League education, and teaching at same, is not well educated. The indoctrination argument is pretty trite. By the way, where did you get your education?

Bill Gates dropped out of college after two years. Whatever became of him?

BTW, tell me again why he won the Nobel Prize? I heard it was because 1) he was the first black president, and 2) he’s a socialist, like those who proffered the award.

But if you can list one achievement during his Presidency or while he was Senator, just one, that led to his being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, I am more then willing to listen. Oh, and then explain why he should have received it over more worthy candidates, you know, people who actually risk their lives for peace.

That’s around 100 years ago or so. You certainly are not going to find much of that today. My initial point was to the respondent who said that the President was not educated, but indoctrinated. I believe that to say someone who has a great deal of experience at Harvard and Columbia is not educated, is simplistic at best. You certainly cannot believe that someone with a great deal of college and graduate school education is not educated, but merely indoctrinated.

Everyone is “brainwashed” or “indoctrinated” somewhat by the life experiences (expecially parental) they have had. But an educated (in the traditional sense of the word) person transcends any brainwashing.

Not at all, spine. But some of our posters from the left seem to be stressing that a college education equates with brilliance, and since Obama went to an Ivy League school, he therefore must be smarter than Palin. Just wanted to give a few examples to say that’s not always the case.

Azarkhan said:

He has been in office for one and a half years. But you are right about a great resume making a great President. George W. Bush had a very good resume, but did not become a very competent President. And Abraham Lincoln had a much weaker resume, and became our greatest President.

Thank Jesus Christ that people are catching on that Sarah Palin is the last person to acceptable as a President of any country, particularly the United States. She should run in a Muslim country since she is so confident she knows everything about Muslims. Maybe the old whore should look in the mirror and see that she is a grand fraud along with her family and supporters.

Only a fool thinks that because someone attended Harvard (or any Ivy League school) that person is qualified to be President. Obviously from the comments I’ve read on Mediaite, there are a lot of leftist fools.

The late Lee Atwater who ran George HW Bush’s campaign in 1988 said Americans have the “little boat theory” when it comes to who is qualified to be president regardless of what party you belong to.As a Democrat I can see Mitt Romney,Tom Pawlenty,Haley Barbour as being able to run at least a functional govenment and handling a crisis.Sarah Palin would sleep till noon and like George W Bush is as dumb as a bag of hammers and would like Bush run the country into the ground.

But I am sure they are well thought out, nevertheless. There are enough posters from the left and the right who let the discussion drop to the lowest common denominator.

Arguably, the people this survey does spell trouble for are the Republicans: with just over two years to go to the 2012 election they still have no reasonably viable candidate to run against Obama.

This is predicated on the notion that Obama will run for a second term. The guy is so pragmatic and has a disdain for politicking that if he sees his poll numbers where they are now in another years time he may face one or more Democratic challengers decide to pull an LBJ.

But King, the Nazis hated Jews and so do the black Muslims, and you can’t bring yourself to say a bad word against the black Muslims.

I will now await your explanation of why you think this way. I believe it goes something like: “Giddyup”.

she’s TOO cozy/involved with the goop – for me to vote for her, BUT ?? After these (almost) past two years –
Who Knows?

So King, since Edison and Ford paid low wages, we should dismiss the millions of jobs and technology their companies helped create. We should all still be using candles and riding horses. Tell you what, King. Instead of thinking Ford was a Nazi for not liking Jews, just tell yourself he was a black Muslim. Same beliefs, but then you’ll be okay with it.

I think Sarrah will be GREAT! She’s utterly reflective of Republiscum Murcuh. That uneducated, terrified right-wing Bible Set that is shackled to the mammouth cruise ship of Ignorance – refusing to allow us to evolve. Speaking in tongues & licking serpent skins – while watching NASCAR & NFL.

Palin will arrive, riding a giant pterodactyl, her rifle held high, ammo belts adorning her crooked body – and all will be well. Praise Jessussuh! God Bluss Murcuh!

“Sarah Palin would sleep till noon and like George W Bush is as dumb as a bag of hammers and would like Bush run the country into the ground.”

You almost completed a lucid thought, but alas the PDS broke through.

How many articles on this site concern a woman that by the libs recollection is a moron? Who are the dopes? Way to go lemmings.

Enough of those ridiculous poems!

“ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is not a new problem…Natives Americans use to call it WHITE PEOPLE.”

I love white people who support shit like this. What I don’t understand is, if you really feel that way, why don’t you pack up your shit and leave? We won’t miss your sorry ass, and the Native Americans certainly won’t.

Well, for someone who is not running for President and never goes on national media, isn’t it strange she even has that much support? here you have the liberals and Democrats controlling the national media and pushing the entire liberal bull crap story and attacking Sarah Palin at every turn and she still has at least 40%. Well, I just wonder what will happen if she actually runs? doesn’t she just have to convince another 11% of the population to win? I love when the liberals try to take numbers, which their pea brains have a hard time processing, and try to turn them into positives for their side when they know that they are screwed, beaten, losing, out of office in November. Then it will be two years to get rid of that useless excuse for a human being, that marxist black nationalist reparations and redistribution dolt called Obama.

Looks like Obama and Palin have something in common after all.

Absolutely, I have no clue if Palin would could should make a good president, What I do know is, she cant even come close to being as bad as what we have now. But plz keep talking about her, its the best thing you libs can do to sink your party. Keep her name out there, and keep showing your fear, maybe a bunch of folks will begin to believe IF your scared of her, SHE must be the real thing.

Not sure what your point is…. Are you saying that Ford being an anti-semite is a good thing? Or are you saying that it is OK for Ford to be antisemitic because black Muslims are.

No, he’s saying that all Black Muslims are bad but DON”T YOU LIEBERALS DARE try to paint an honorable white man like Henry Ford with that same brush!!!

Neither. He was replying to a post by a liberal who pointed out that Ford was an anti-Semite. The “imagine he was a black Muslim, then you’ll be OK with it” was a stab at liberal hypocrisy when it comes to tolerance. They say conservatives are Islamophobic, but it is fine to mock and belittle Christianity. Racism is disgusting, unless it is racism against conservative white folks, then it is understandable. Jimmy Carter is an anti-Semite, but he is a liberal, so it is OK. Free speech is fine when it is calling Bush a murderer or Satan, but when Eminem makes fun of gays in a song, groups organize and protest for his censure. Stuff like that.

This article makes me laugh ….and make no mistake ..it’s just the left once again telling you who they are most afraid of. At this point it’s clear that a ham sandwich could do a better job of governing than Obama. Sarah Palin would be an incredible breath of fresh air and I wouldn’t fear that our country and our childrens’ futures were being flushed down the toilet with her in the Oval Office.

Every day that Obama stays in office the flushing sound just gets louder.

paulmdoro said:
Wait President Obama doesn’t have experience as a chief executive? Weird.

He had no experience before getting elected President. And his track record since getting elected shows that he isn’t up to the job. What are his accomplishments? A stimulus bill that was such a joke, that even Democrats are embarrassed to mention it. A health care bill that voters begged their elected officials not to pass. Economic policy that has led to higher unemployment, stagnant GDP and the most fearful business environment in modern history. A military engagement in Afghanistan that meanders on without progress or clear objectives. The largest government deficits ever. Huge increases in the number of government bureaucrats and lobbyists. An oil spill mess that he bungled. Backroom deals and pork barrel spending. Etc. etc. etc. This is not just extremist ideology, but also incompetence of the most obvious sort.

But I will grant that he did win the Nobel Prize fairly and squarely.

She’d be better than Obama.

Are you kidding me? He was a great industrialist. But if you think writing a book called “The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem” is great, then you are ignorant of history in Germany right around that time. I absolutely will find fault with Ford’s antisemitism. If you do not, then that is a problem you probably don’t comprehend. Which I find very sad, indeed. And don’t make it a liberal/conservative thing. Antisemitism is digusting, and no honorable conservative will countenance it.

Actually, I am a Christian, go to a Christian church every Sunday. And I am a moderate leaning to the left, which makes me a liberal in the eyes of most of posters herein.

She lacks the ability to SPELL “President.”

Sarah Palin was brought into the big show when she was selected to be the VP candidate. She could not refuse; her qualifications were far stronger than the Democrat’s presidential nominee. It was tough for her to jump into the campaign in a national scale she was not prepared for. Although they lost, she contributed strongly and became an asset to the party.

She had performed well in all her executive roles in Alaska and resigned when she could not perform those duties (following the election) after being harassed by Democratic operatives, who unlike the talking points, recognized the danger she presented to the Democratic Party. It was the same sensation the Republicans sensed when Obama gave a speech at John Kerry’s nomination four years earlier. The only difference between the parties was that the Republicans did not put a (political) contract out on Obama.

Now that Palin has been stumping for Republican candidates all over, she has sharpened her skills in one-on-one interviews. She can think on her feet and answers questions immediately (unlike our recollections of instances during the last campaign when Obama had to ad-lib in those painful scenes we all remember but the press was able to gloss over).

This doesn’t mean she will be THE candidate in 2012, but I’m looking forward for the debates that will deliver the strongest combination for the Republicans. They really have a lot of new and good candidates. Whoever is selected, everyone must recognize the star drawing power of Palin will be a force to contend with.

And a majority of people believe that BHO has PROVED he lacks the ability to be President!

alamo, I guess you haven’t been here long enough to realize what I was doing. My point was that Ford was a genius and his genius didn’t come from college. Plus his genius ended up employing thousands of people. Do I defend his anti-semitism? No. And that was why I was pointing out the King’s hypocrisy. He’ll condemn racism as long as it’s coming from a white person. If it comes from blacks such as Rev. Wright or the Nation of Islam, the King absolutely refuses to condemn it. (Same with Ted and some others, but I digress) And if you ask him why he gives it a pass, know what his answer is? “Giddyup”. Just look at some of his posts and you’ll see. Furthermore, the King was painting Edison as a bad person. Do you think the King refuses to make use of any of Edison’s inventions? Movies, phonographs, the electric light? The King is a horrible hypocrite and that’s what I was pointing out.

I voted for McCain/Palin but I have to AGREE. Palin is not ready to be president, but she is probably MORE CAPABLE than Obummer. At least she would be less likely to flush the USA down the toilet, as Obummer is doing.

what’s wrong media are you affiliated with the MSNBC CNN because I have never 61 years seen so much bias prejudice as it is on MSNBC CNN and just in general from the media. whether you’re a commentator or a reporter working for one of those affiliates such as MSNBC CNN and also most of your liberal newspapers couldn’t tell the truth even if your life depended on it you are to be ashamed knowing that you have children, and you teach them what you’re doing is right. This is shameful that other choice words I like the years but and others other children I’m in there’s children reading some of this stuff I don’t know which is worse i.e. try to slander, what’s wrong with you people. I’m 61 years old and I have all kinds of medical problems an unlikely kick your A—- of yet managed to take a First Amendment right and use it to slander someone more or spin whatever message you don’t like. You know you’re getting a lot of followers but most of those people that such as this crappy magazine or whatever it is all I can say same to me I get a bite my tongue. The president said in his speech when he was running for office this country needs to come together but you liberal jackasses don’t want to come together your doing whatever is in your power to keep it separated or segregated. Somewhere in this whole system you people have forgotten the word truth honesty in reporting news. anyone have to worry about me coming back to this garbage would you call whenever because that’s what is this garbage only difference is I would even use it to wipe my butt with.

Dave Be: I was going to attack you on your appearance, but I decided if I did that to be just like you and the rest of your hate mongrels and I want to do that. But when I see truth twisted all I can say is and you probably have children that’s a shame. As I mentioned in my first comment I like to kick your ass using this as a metaphor. Because kicking somebody ass doesn’t get anything resolved is just as bad as trying to prevent someone speaking the truth as violence is in answers to anything. I find it hard to understand why anyone would go out of their way to to attack somebody’s credibility, during intellectual capability I am very close taken my TV and put in the trash can I add brand-new 65 inch. To debate an issue no problem to slander somebody because he thinks she thinks differently that is a problem that’s not what our constitution was created for. Those of you who have nothing good to say about anybody that disagrees with with you. Those of you who get your enjoyment slandering someone you be forgotten in time, your deeds will not. When issues are debated in in the future and how the media was corrupt and get everything in their power to slander figuring the end justifies the means, it hasn’t in the past and won’t happen in the future as righteousness will overcome the lies and biases. They used to have a remedy for individuals like you in the in the past what it would take you and put you on the 4×4 car badly run you out of town. Now days is something even better people I want to listen to you, and anathema by your crap you’ll see away eventually and you wind up leaving your embarrassment to your children. that you have that right not that you earned that right but you have that right.

Point of reference: I belong to the same denomination that Rev. Wright does — and I absolutely condemn his statements.

On to your other point: If I misread you point re Henry Ford, I do apologize. Yes, there were great people who did great things without benefit of a college degree. (Witness my personal hero, A. Lincoln) However, in this day and age, I do believe that it is extremely difficult to do great things without a college degree (Bill Gates to the contrary). And my initial post was a rejoinder to the individual who said that President Obama was indoctrinated, not educated, his ivy league education be damned. Of course, I thought that individual’s assertion was incorrect. (And for that, I will probably get four or five thumbs down.)

Oh yeah, your other point about “King.” You will admit, I hope, that he is not alone in his hypocrisy on this website. I find plenty of hypocrites on both sides of the political spectrum herein.

I’ll bet she can PRONOUNCE it though…. and CORPSMAN too.

I’ll bet she knows how many states there are, and how NOT to bow when meeting people.

I’ll bet she was dumb enough to anticipate that things like this would happen (less than a year after the bill passed)…

http://money.cnn.com/2010/01/26/news/economy/stimulus_cbo/index.htm

Hmmm. The CBO didn’t think the unemployment rate would go above 9%… how many months in a row have they been wrong on THAT ESTIMATE? I wonder if they have a NEW ESTIMATE on how many MORE months it will be before it goes below 9%….. whaddayathink Dave?

I’ll bet Sarah, like me, would be skeptical about CBO estimates. I’ll bet she, like me, thinks they are prone to underestimate ACTUAL costs….

But that’s just because she, like me, is ‘ignorant’, right Dave?

It must be nice to be a edumacated geenyus.

A majority of the people thought President Obama had what it takes to be President. BOY! Have they ever been proven wrong!

Most of you are too consumed with hate to be helpful… Too bad. Maybe that’s a result of bias and op-ed posing as news on all the networks.

At any rate. Obama is doing the best he can and so is Palin. I would vote for the former over the latter as a result of the experience and education…

Who cares though right? You can still call each other names and so long as you’ve got that you don’t need anything else right?

Sad state of affairs these days in the Grand ole` U.S. of A. I see 1984 is well on the way…

Thanks people.

Um Fearmonger?

Probably best not to get into this:

“I’ll bet she can PRONOUNCE it though…. and CORPSMAN too.”

We just had 8 years of a Republican President who could not make it a week without mangling the English language.

So Obama made ONE mistake.

Bush mispronounced words WEEKLY.

And Palin has as well (not weekly, but she has many times).

I have read many comments insisting that all the news about Sarah Palin is a smear campaign and that no one who dislikes Sarah Palin has any reason for doing so. Reporting on the facts of someone’s record is not “smearing” them, it’s informing voters of candidates’ actions and words so they can better decide who to vote for. I did my research on each candidate in 2008 and found much to dislike. Here’s Palin’s record:
