The Palinosaur is back and eyeing up 2012

[Mouroux]

News flash!!!!

Wakey-wakey!!

Sarah Palin says during interview that Obama needs to " toughen up", invade Iran and be "more supportive of Israel".

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca-oCxLd_Hc"]YouTube- Palin: War with Iran would help Obamas re-election[/ame]

This is an absolute outrage.

Unfortunately, she's right. Believe it or not, she's right. The current US government must be salivating at the prospect of another major war... anything for Obama the corporate whore to hold onto power.

Pathetic!

And we thing we live in a democracy!

[dunno]

I think she's deliberately trolling the Democrats, and probably doing a good job of it. She's hardly suggesting in all seriousness that Obama order an invasion of Iran. I don't think the Chinese or whoever are lending the US money by buying those bonds or whatever, these days would stand for even the faintest form of military action against Iran. She makes a show of rallying the Tea Party people, charging a fair sum of money into the bargain, but her Big Government militarism is the polar opposite of a Tea Party favoured smaller, less activist US government. Welfare for contractors instead of the sick and the poor. It's trolling.

[Mouroux]

Kissinger uses a crafty right hand shake to block her pressing against his stiffy... but at the cost of a missed left hand grab to the butt... he's getting old

cYp

Kissinger is actually gay, the notorious prima donna of the geo-political circuit. But your comments would probably apply to his recent meeting with the pope!
:mrgreen:

My God, that video clip is just unbelievable. Even the Fox presenter seems entirely taken aback by her "say he played the war card" line.

First, did anyone notice the way she pointedly attributes her Iran idea to reading a Buchanan article? To my mind that is clearly, very clearly, an attempt to address the Couric moment when she couldn't name a magazine or journal she read. Think about that for a sec. Whilst suggesting that POTUS might dishonourably start a war, she still finds a moment to let us know that she has started reading a few articles. You might say this is just good political housekeeping. I say it betrays a mind that cannot intellectually process the enormity of what she is actually saying. She's just shooting out words and fixing the unfortunate Couric business at the same time, ho-hum. War, Iran, magazines, Buchancan, whatever. Jesus, that is some deeply, deeply sick sh1t right there.

Second, where does this imbecile get the neck to call the President of the United States "Obama"? This so-called traditional values gal doesn't even have the common goddam courtesy to give the man even the respect his office affords him? Absolutely disgusting.

Finally, one could talk about the substance of what she says, but it is so utterly meaningless and incoherent there's no point.

(BTW, I couldn't actually bear to watch the thing more than once, so all of the above based on 1 listen. Even if I misheard it all, I'm not watching it again to check).

Welfare for contractors instead of the sick and the poor. It's trolling.

I wouldn't give her the credit for trolling. She is struggling to get onto the first level of understanding these matters, so to think she is running an elaborate double-bluff is being wildly overgenerous to her.

Also, the question of whether she may nor may not be "serious" is redundant. Of course she is not serious. She hasn't the first baldy notion what she's even saying. She has learnt off some stuff, which she says, before inevitably trailing off into a generalised talking point. None of it is in any way serious, and certainly the finer points of middle and far eastern geo-politics or the fate of US treasuries are not on her radar.

Finally, I agree with you about the big government stuff. Dumb hypocricy and stupidity. I also agree with the poster Mouroux above who said no true conservative could vote for her. Absolutely correct.


I really don't have a lot of time for Sarah Palin.

Here's the stats she's happy about:

Palin 16%
Romney 11%
Cheney 10%
Gingrich 7%
Huckabee 7%
Pawlenty 3%
Paul 2%
Thune 2%
Undecided 42%

I have no problem with what Palin writes on the palm of her hand, its public speaking FFS.
The US media latch onto anything in order to sell a story.
You need to be intelligent enough to see which stories matter and which don't ... and this is one that doesn't !

With regards to that poll, if anyone has the surname 'undecided', they are in with a good chance !

It would be an ideal time for a pic of Bushes palms ... one saying 'right', the other 'left', although it may be difficult to make out given the amount of blood dripping from them.

She proves you don't have to be an intellectual, Ivy League snob to aspire to the highest office on the planet. That's what the lefty PC-brigade hate about her. As a conservative/libertarian-right gay man (if such a thing exists) I say more power to her (except on gay-marriage/guns/foreign-policy). We could do with some of that in this country, dominated politically as it is by intellectuals and snobs who look down on the working-class plain people of Ireland who do not share their latte-liberalism and patronising post-nationalist self-loathing tendencies. It is especially ironic that the feminist-left are so dismissive of her. They can't live with the fact that you can be a real woman without being a liberal woman. Again, there are shades of that in this country, as came across from a recent discussion on Newstalk between John Waters and Niall Crowley of the Equality Authority, where Waters brought up the role of radical-feminism in the ideology of the EA.

Anyone can 'aspire' to anything. Whether they are qualified or suitable is entirely another matter. In her specific case, shes neither.

You sound a little mixed up

Latte-liberalism?? Are you sure you are referring to Fianna Fail here, FT?? Because that is the ideal-and idea-crushing banality that dominates Irish politics. Coughlan an intellectual??
She is on the same low-wattage as Palin. We have Palin politics in Ireland as it is: devoid of content, bereft of ideology and rooted in mindless populism.

It is not a question of us needing Palin politics: we already have it albeit with grovelling religiosity manifesting itself in taking the financial flak for clerical perversions and the retreat into the flag and faux patriotism appearing as a cynical call to "put on the green jersey".

Revolting in the extreme.

REALITY CHECK

Sarah Palin is a purebred neo-conservative:

Exhibit A:



Exhibit B:



Henry Kissinger has been highlighted/pursued/subpoenaed by various (Spanish, Argentinian, even British) judges for.... oh, heck, I'll just call it what it is: crimes against humanity.

If you are supportive of the right, do NOT trust this woman.

ZOMG Palin met a man with more high level diplomatic experience than anyone else and talked to him!!! Out of interest, which would be worse, a private individual having a conversation with Kissinger, or a US president sending him around the world to negotiate for America? Cold warrior Henry Kissinger woos Russia for Barack Obama - Telegraph
