Comments on: How Sarah Palin’s Plucky Ingenue Could Spell Curtains for McCain http://firedoglake.com/2008/08/31/how-sarah-palins-plucky-ingenue-could-spell-curtains-for-mccain/ Firedoglake weblog Thu, 26 Nov 2009 13:28:27 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: shell http://firedoglake.com/2008/08/31/how-sarah-palins-plucky-ingenue-could-spell-curtains-for-mccain/#comment-1610214 shell Mon, 01 Sep 2008 04:40:23 +0000 http://firedoglake.com/2008/08/31/how-sarah-palins-plucky-ingenue-could-spell-curtains-for-mccain/#comment-1610214 <p>Remember, back in 2000, when Hillary Clinton first ran for Senator of NY? I forget the name of the GOPer, running against her, but in a debate, he tried to get her to sign something, promising she would not … do something. That part is murky to me, but it doesn’t matter. She said she wouldn’t do it, and he wanted her to sign a pledge. </p> <p>Anyway, he left his podium to go to hers, to get her to sign it, and everyone went NUTS! ”He violated her space!!!!!” ”It was SCARY!” What? He was going to give her a paper cut?</p> <p>Bottom line: IF women want to run against men, they CANNOT act like this. (I am nor saying Clinton, herself, did it this time, but she sure didn’t object to others doing it.) Wanna play with the big boys? Act like an adult woman. You can’t have it both ways, which waaaaay too many females in America are doing.</p> Remember, back in 2000, when Hillary Clinton first ran for Senator of NY?

You have to be self-deluding, willfully ignorant, dishonest and hypocritical. Anyone who believes that John McCain believes Sarah Polin is the most qualified Republican to be the President of the United States in the the event he dies or becomes incapacitated, needs to recognize that what John McCain is trying to sell Americans is that Joe Lieberaman, Tom Ridge, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson, Ron Paul and Lindsey Graham and every Republican Senator and Representative in Congress are ALL LESS QUALIFIED to be President than Sarah Polin is. To believe that, you have to be irrational, stupid, gullible and or a liar!</p> In order to be a Bush/McCain “Republican”, you have to be willing to suspend your belief in reason, intelligence, honesty and morality.

Remember also – Governor Palin has a date with Senator Joe Biden, during which he will smile deferentially and leave her a quivering mass.

Governor Palin is wrong about almost everything, and clueless about the rest. It will show.

Here in Maine we have plenty of weekend getaways where the locals cater to the wealthy/upper middle class by cutting up their fish, cooking their meals (fish included), making/changing their beds, and cutting the firewood should they want to have a nice Maine fiyah (fire) in the woodstove.
