Palin: 'Idiots... don't learn from history'

"Palin: 'Idiots... don't learn from history"

We know Sarah, that's why you lost the election, remember?

I can hear the same ol' tired rhetoric on any conservative form of media. It doesn't take much to parrott platitudes. Why won't she give us something concrete instead of the generalizations. Why? I would believe my best guess would be...she just doesn't have one. I hear the same ol' Socialism, and lower taxes...hell that's the easy part...tell us how "you" would do it. It's called a plan right. She makes a lot a noise but nothing "clear" comes out.

Run, Sarah, Run and this time, please don't quit !!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

The biggest difference between Bush and Palin.. is that Bush knew he was stupid (plus, he was incredibly lazy and preferred not to have to think about things at all) so he only said what his handlers told him to say.

Palin actually thinks she;'s smarter than any handlers. Maybe someone will be able to convince her to say only what she has been told to say, ala Bush, but she has shown no signs of that to date.

It seems that Palin is correct and a Rasmussen poll shows most Americans have common sense too as 62 percent say cutting taxes will boost employment and 51 percent saying to not spend the rest of the stimulus money. So, nearly 2/3rds of Americans understand that tax cuts lead to a better economy. Which is COMMON SENSE!
Which means the moron loons on the left don't understand that. Somehow, they think increasing taxes leads to jobs growth. Yet, when asked how so, they don't answer.
Common Sense = conservatism
Stupidity, lunacy, ridiculousness = liberalism.

Republicans don't want women who analyze things! Leave the analyzing to the damn intellectuals, like Rush! Palin doesn't think! She blurts! She reacts! She rapidly expels those synapses from her brain, and maybe they make sense, maybe they don't. But it doesn't matter. And you know why? Because conservatives understand her. They understand her and her substantive policies. And if the rest of us don't? Well, I guess we're just not "rogue" enough.

Palin's inability to understand basic policy matters is a clear indication of her lack of actual education (regardless of whatever degree she might have). In short, she's an idiot and should be competing with Carrie Prejean for a spot on "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader"...neither stands a chance, of course. Palin makes women look like imbeciles.

Ahhh Silva's favorite fetish: Palin. Let's talk about Palin, You Bettcha.

Palin is your (Republican) most recent VP candidate and she's doing a book tour. If Mark ignored her you'd cry about that too.

Here's an idea Teresa, if you don't want to be embarrassed by your Republican leadership (Palin etc) ELECT BETTER LEADERS!

So, nearly 2/3rds of Americans understand that tax cuts lead to a better economy.

Well there you have it. The only answer I ever hear. Why? because most people hate taxes. Trouble with the argument is we have had taxes lowered by Bush and look where that got us. It's Pavlov's dogs bell...taxes...and the right salivates.....ya..that's the ticket. I thought palin said idiots don't learn from history...well?

Republicans love Palin because she represents them perfectly:

- She dropped out of four colleges, graduating from the fifth one in six years.

- She completely failed to answer basic questions in interviews with Katie Couric like, "Which newspapers or news sources do you read?"

- When she was Mayor of Wasilla, she was not exactly the "fiscal conservative" she claimed to be, leaving the city $20 million in debt.

- She argued that because Alaska shared a "narrow maritime border with Russia," that she was a foreign policy expert.

- She lied about how she opposed pork spending for the Bridge to Nowhere, even though she more than happily took the money and then became magically opposed to it only when it became a national joke.

- While she was Governor of Alaska, she was under investigation for some serious ethical violations after she fired the state police chief when he refused to dismiss her brother-in-law. She was later found to have "unlawfully abused her authority."

- She quit her job as Governor so she blog on FaceBook and go chase millions on a book tour for a book that was ghostwritten by someone else.

- She has been spreading lie after lie after lie about how Obama wants to reform the health care system by creating "death panels" for senior citizens.

- She has argued that creationism should be taught in public schools.

- She has argued that global warming is not really man-made, when all of the scientific evidence says otherwise.

- She does nothing in her interviews except parrot right-wing talking points over and over and over again, as though the majority of Americans who didn't vote for her in the last election have forgotten just how discredited Republican policies are.

K. Palin has no role in the repub party but she does do a fine job getting libs frothing at the mouth.

Janet, your complete ignorance of economics, finance and public policy makes you an ideal candidate for obumbles cabinet. Now if you haven't paid your taxes, can recite Mao and don't believe in the existence of terrorism I'm sure there is a czarship with your name on it.

Palin The Quitter"I believe that history teaches us lessons, and we're idiots if we don't learn from history,'' Palin said, suggesting there is a lot to be learned from Ronald Reagan's handling of the economy...(end snip)

There certainly is something to be learned and we're *learning* it right now: trickle down economics doesn't work.
Take a good look at the unemployment and crashing commercial real estate market for proof. The middle class spends and buys and that is what fuels our consumer-driven economy, not the wealthy who save and invest.
If you have any doubts, check out any walmart parking lot on a weekend.
Sarah Palin is beyond ignorant.

What the HELL! How in the hell did Sarah come to have a book signing at Fort Bragg?? I thought our bases were off limits to politicians, especially polititicians trying to make a buck off of our military. Remember the republicans never do anything for this country they only do things to this country! whiteagle38

This is what's become of the Republican party. "Saint" Ronny Reagan brought the far right lunatic fringe in, but he only paid lip service to their social agenda for the most part. In the years since however they have become entrenched in the party, and they are setting their agenda.

The results are nutbags like Palin, Huckabee, and the Republican party's very own Joseph Goebbels - Crazy Glenn Beck.

Dazzle the public with a sea of waving American flags, and grand speeches exalting the value of the "American way of life" all the while masking their true extremist right wing agenda.

"So, nearly 2/3rds of Americans understand that tax cuts lead to a better economy. Which is COMMON SENSE!
Which means the moron loons on the left don't understand that."

If they don't understand that, then how is it that they passed a $280 billion tax cut? Which as I recall, was the largest tax cut ever.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123111279694652423.html

Sara, like John D, crackpot as always, Bruce, and others will never learn because they, like most republicans are idiots. They are losers in life, destined to live in their delusionary world where their little padded room provides a safe haven from the negros, women and others who scare them.

Palin did not know what the Bush doctrine was. She could not name a newspaper that she read regularly and would not admit that she does not read one. She could not name a Supreme court case other than Roe v Wade that represented the court overstepping their authority to create policy. It would keep me from hiring her to work in my office, and she was running for the number two spot in the nation. As a woman, I totally repudiate a ditz like her as any sort of example for other women.

Only in todays whack-a-doodle fringe nutjob version of the Republican party could someone as stupid as Palin and George Bush be taken seriously.

Thanks Faux News!.....not.

K. Palin has no role in the repub party but she does do a fine job getting libs frothing at the mouth.

I think you're confusing laughter and mocking with 'frothing at the mouth' again. No big surprise considering that you get your info from Fake News Channel and AM Hate Radio.

PS - Bush and Cheney had a lot more "czars" than Obama does.

Methinks, wrong as usual needs to re-read the Wall Street Journal article. The Obimbo tax cuts, which no one knows what they were in the stimulus package is not the largest ever.

And bill r and the rest of the loons on the left, for once please explain how taxing people and businesses more helps the economy, helps people get jobs, helps the average worker and helps the corporations. Just once, please explain.

"Liberty and Tyranny" by Mark Levin, a great book. Two concepts. One of them is great, the other one is problematic.

Liberals, when you are drinking the $5 swill at Starbucks, you would be so much better off saving up for this fine book.

Bush's first two years of tax cuts amounted to $174 billion. The second round in 2004 and 2005 cost $231 billion. How do either of those numbers amount to more than $282 billion?

Palin and the Tea Party Movement the prefect storm for the Left. Will hit hardest around Nov 2010. Its getting fun now.

Republicans love Palin because she represents them perfectly:

- She dropped out of four colleges, graduating from the fifth one in six years.

Such a LOOOOONG post about someone that you aren't worried about, eh Kenneth. You might want to learn to Capitalize your name. Since you are such an expert.

Your expert genius on Global Warming, Al Gore thinks that the earth's core is several millions of degrees hot. He's so special, that Al. A scientist, a politician, inventor of the internet. But, don't you think that he would know that the SUN ITSELF IS 10,000 DEGREES?????????? Talk to me about Sarah Palin.

I am assuming that you can count and actual 10,000 degrees of the sun is MUCH less than the MILLIONS of degrees that Al Gore, the Global Warming expert, believes that the core of the earth is.

Al Gore, to think this complete moron could have been president. And, to think that someone even dumber, Obama got elected. I wonder if Obama even knows about the sun? Doubt it.

for once please explain how taxing people and businesses more helps the economy,
Posted by: John D, still right, as usual | November 19, 2009 7:21 PM

For once, please list your taxes that have gone up in the last 10 months.

I see that the liberals are still handing out the BS that they are the only intelligent people in the US. In talking to them and reading what they write I find them , for the most part, incredibly misinformed and parroting the liberal line fed to them instead of checking it out for themselves. Incredibly stupid.

Posted by: Lou | November 20, 2009 8:44 AM

You might have noticed the same from conservative posts, if you didn't agree with them. It's all how you look at it.

Bill r., please show where I said my taxes have gone up in the past 10 months? Though my son does smoke, so his taxes have gone up.
Rather than make up stuff, bill r., please answer my question: Tell us how raising taxes on the wealthy, on small businesses and on corporations will lead to a better economy and jobs.
Also, Bill r., Bush's tax cuts are set to expire in the next year or two. Under Bush, ALL Americans recieved tax cuts as ALL tax brackets were lowered, including those for the lowest wage earners who under Bush no longer pay a federal income tax. So, if those tax cuts are allowed to expire, then ALL of us will be paying more. Of course, the Dems plans for health care overhaul will lead to higher taxes for all as will the cap and trade.

No sense letting facts get in the way of a fact check, right?

Mark Levin, another intolerant closed minded bigot who spews hateful venom and lies. Levin is an angry and frustrated human being. And Palin...nothing but a farce. The lady is a clueless dimwit. Has no ideas or independent thoughts. Just repeats over and over what her marketing people tell her to. Duh. Her book wasn't even written by her. Go ahead GOP, put the Quitter on the 2012 ballot.

The Left is scared of Palin and the Tea Party movement. They say they are not but, they act and sound like they are. Did you MSNBC going after a 14 year old girl because she likes Palin. Now that shows how scared they really are. They would never do that to a brain dead Obama supporter.

Somehow, they think increasing taxes leads to jobs growth. Yet, when asked how so, they don't answer.

Bailin on Palin
Rina Alabaster

String her up! Sign my book! If one central political figure can inspire rage and awe in the most polarizing way, it is Sarah Palin. My question is, are republicans starting to bail on the former governor?

With the debut of her new book, "Going Rogue" this electric character is once again center stage. Fighting wolves, big oil, tabloids, Levi and lawsuits are child's play compared to the incessant debasement of her character, beliefs, words, clothes, hairstyle, parenting and choices.

Will the conservatives get enough distance from the chopping block to escape Palin's shrapnel? While conservative media outlets have embraced the self-proclaimed maverick, politicians seem to keep a reserved distance. Much like extended family, they will have dinner with her, but don't want her around long term. McCain began to detach himself from Gov. Palin toward the end of the campaign- it was visible in his speech and demeanor.

So will Palin the Pirate once again try to steal the hearts, and votes, of Americans, or will she be subtly nudged off the plank by her Republican counterparts?
www.warrenpeas.com

"Sarah in 12"

"I tell my dad that, "I say, Dad, if you would have just given me a backpack and a passport when I was 18 years old after graduating from high school and let me travel Europe...' she said. "You know what the rest of us did, we worked our butts off to get through school.''

Sarah needs the history lesson:

Barack Obama, single parent household, grew up with moderate income, worked his butt off to win scholarships and put himself through college.

Bill Clinton, alcoholic father, poor upbringing in Arkansas, worked his butt off to put himself through college and win scholarships.

George W Bush? Slacker, C- student who only got into Yale (oh, yeah, that is Ivy League by the way) because of DADDY.

More doses of stupidity from Dumb Dumb Janet, the Human Susquatch:

Posted by: janet | November 20, 2009 2:44 PM

Janet, dear, George H.W. Bush raised taxes and we had a recession in 1991-92. George W. Bush decreased taxes and we 5 years of growth, from the end of 2002 until the end of 2007.
Please, Roadkill Brain Janet, once again explain how raising taxes on small businesses and corporations helps an economy and leads to job growth.

Palin and the Tea Party Movement the prefect storm for the Left. Will hit hardest around Nov 2010. Its getting fun now. And if Obamacare or Cap & Trade pass heads will roll, you can count on that.

John D: "George W. Bush decreased taxes and we [sic] 5 years of growth, from the end of 2002 until the end of 2007."

Gee, wonder what happened after 2007? Kind of a selective memory, there, dude.

I have to say it is hard to imaging Ms. Palin poring over budget sheets. Did she do that while mayor? For the 18 months she was a governor?

You guys are a laugh a minute. So is Palin. Keep it up, Palin. I love a circus...

FYI ...everyone here... Sarah attended 2 colleges........ University of Hawaii, and University of Idaho. It did take her 5 years to graduate, because she had to go home and work to earn tuition money. Her dad was a teacher and her mom a housewife. I know that Prsident GW got into Yale because of his dad's influence, but at least he had a higher grade point average than John Kerry. (not saying that much of course) The last great president we had in my opinion was from a small midwestern town and went to Eureka College... Maybe 3000 students. He was an actor and he "wasnt the brightest". He did however change the world and he never went on an apology tour. Cya and happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to all.

Sarah Palin in the Crosshairs

Ok, we’ve known since she was nominated as McCain’s pick for VP that the Left was salivating to get at Sarah Palin, in more ways than one.

They had a presumed Republican novice in their sights and they collectively zoned in on the governor of Alaska.

Even they felt uncomfortable trashing an American hero, John McCain, aside from saying he was an old fart who didn’t know the internet from a hairnet, much like Joe Biden who thought websites have phone numbers.

However, Palin was more than fair game and they proceeded with vicious ad hominem, family, and political attacks since, closet-sexists as Lefties are, they felt they could freely pummel her and she would roll over and play dead or roll over and let them have their figurative will with her.

They failed in both ambitions.

Sarah Palin proved to be the best choice McCain could have made, drawing far bigger and far more enthusiastic crowds of true Republicans, true conservatives than the wishy-washy war hero.

The so-called “women’s movement” became more a bowel movement when it came to supporting a conservative woman candidate.

Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses but don’t even think of giving us a woman who revels in her husband and her womanhood, despises abortion, and who professes conservative values.

Sarah Palin scared the Democratic Left to its rotten core in 2008. In 2009, with the publication of Going Rogue: An American Life, she has petrified them.

With the able assistance of fellow McCain RINOS who are still seeking a scapegoat for their ignominious loss and disastrous screw-ups, the campaign to destroy Sarah Palin, begun 15 months ago, has intensified.

McCain strategist Steve Schmidt joined the Left in lambasting Going Rogue.

With a history of masterfully strategizing defeat on state and national levels, (cf. Tim Leslie, Matt Fong, and Lamar Alexander), Schmidt should have slunk off to the Home for Loser Strategists last November 5th.

Instead, he chose to lie in wait and to snipe at Palin in an attempt to save his sorry rep.

“Total fiction” and disappointing, bleated Schmidt about Going Rogue. This from the same man who undermined Palin’s candidacy from the start by alleging she suffered from post-partum depression.

He went on to almost single-handedly guide the McCain-Palin ticket into a humiliating electoral nosedive last year. Sore loser extraordinaire Schmidt is now whining because Palin had the fortitude to out him and his failures.

Is it any wonder he would be p*ssed?

Schmidt’s getting his nose out of joint over Going Rogue is paled by the Left’s anticipated antipathy toward Palin and her book. It is as if it were a revised edition of Mein Kampf.

Epitomized by the rush to publication of Going Rouge: An American Nightmare, the lividity of the Left over Palin is as transparent as their hero, Obama, is opaque.

Palin may not snag . . .
