she is not ready to *campaign* on day one, but we are to believe

[Cerridwen]

she is ready to lead on day one?

Why isn't anyone pointing out the obvious?

She's hiding in the Ladies' Room going over her Cliff Notes on foreign policy, the Constitution, whether or not the framers of the Constitution wrote the Pledge of Allegiance, whether or not Fannie and Freddie are government entities, and so on and so forth.

She is not taking interviews. She is not ready to campaign. But, she's ready to lead?

Is this too obvious? Not salacious enough? What? It questions neither her sex, her religion, her voting record, nor her honesty. It points to her lack of preparedness. Why isn't this question asked?

[Patsy Stone]

1. I don't understand it.

I wouldn't trust her to water my plants at this point.

[Cerridwen]

4. Me either. My plants are plastic. What's that tell ya?

LOL

[FLAprogressive]

2. Any questioning of Palin's ability to lead is sexist....

....right Carly? lol

What a joke Sarah Palin and her sheep are.

[Cerridwen]

5. Hell, I didn't question whether or not she's able to lead, I'm still not

past the fact she's not yet ready to campaign. Gotta walk before you run and she's not ready to walk.

If that's sexist, I'm phyllis schlafly.

[annabanana]

3. It is just ANOTHER elephant in the room

that isn't being talked about...

(Pretty damn crowded in there)

[Cerridwen]

8. Yep. And everyone's got their piece to describe...

it's a snake, it's a tree trunk, it's the side of a barn.

Can we NOT think about the fact that she's hiding from the press going through her Cliff Notes "boot camp" on national and foreign issues? Is that how she will handle any crisis in this country? Hiding out until she can get her talking points together?

[annabanana]

10. It's a great picture...

(hiding out in the Ladies with the cliff's notes all piled up around her)

[Cerridwen]

13. Thanks. I like it.

:D

I've seen a lot of speakers furiously going over their notes before presenting a speech. Since I'm a woman, I saw it happen in the Ladies' Room. 3 X 5 cards everywhere.

[Greyhound]

12. ...and who in hell is going to clean this mess up?

A herd of elephants makes one giant mess when confined to a small space. Who's got the shovel?
:rofl:

[Cerridwen]

15. Huh! Whomever has the stomach for it.

:evilgrin:

[Art_from_Ark]

52. It's gone well past the shovel stage

It's going to take a fleet of bulldozers and dump trucks to clean this mess up

[opihimoimoi]

6. The Pain Misery Tolorence Level in America must be damn high

if McLapse/Palin gets in

How else can we explain it???

Reject Sanity and Reality and ride with FANTASY??? WTF? Vote to hurt yourselves???

[Cerridwen]

9. We ARE a "stoic" bunch.

Who don't know the first thing about stoicism.

[opihimoimoi]

14. OMG....who woulda thought??? Peeps who don't care often loses their lair.

[Cerridwen]

16. Sad, isn't it? Embracing a philosophy without understanding

its precepts and context.

"We're #1" "USA"
"We're #1" "USA"
"We're #1" "USA"
"We're #1" "USA"
"We're #1" "USA"

[opihimoimoi]

20. Amazing the People have declined to this level...and not even realize it...

Cognizant dissonance comes to mind....make that AS IN.....GROUP

Where is that Rehab units to get our peeps astute once more...??

[Cerridwen]

32. "Rehab units"? I think DU might be one contributor to that idea.

Maybe not perfect but the possibility exists. Which is why I keep posting. :D

You, too, I bet.

[opihimoimoi]

41. I been talking REHAB for GOP and Sheeple for YEARS...LOL

Apparently, unless God comes to Town and changes the moons color to confirm HIS POWER....the Sheeple will not believe us Libs and our Truth and Reason

They want SIMPLE and they want NOW....

all else is moot

[Cerridwen]

47. Yah, I've had some ideas, too.

They aren't popular and they have to do with prostitutes.

I still think if they experience "make love, not war" them damned snake-oil salesmen in preacher's clothing, will have a helluva struggle on their hands.

And THAT is all I'm going to say about THAT.

O8)

[opihimoimoi]

62. You be very suprised at how Ideas can Grow....all ya need is the right ingredimints(sp)

:toast: :beer:

[MadMaddie]

7. Well if she is reading the Constitution with the lenses from her bible

than she might as well not spend anymore time on the activity.

Just sayin...

[Cerridwen]

11. I'm just saying...

shouldn't she have had a nodding acquaintance with the Constitution before taking public office?

I know; that's setting the bar too high.

[MadMaddie]

23. Ha..now there you go setting expectations and expecting

someone to at least familiar with the Constitution before running for the highest office in the land.

[Cerridwen]

27. I know, I know.

Sad that I would think such a thing as that. A good feminist once told us that the biggest mistake women make with regard to running for office is thinking they had to be qualified.

Figures it'd be a republican who first disabused that idea.

[noamnety]

17. I doubt she'll be leading on day 1.

More likely she'll hole up at a secret location until the people she's supposed to lead are properly deferential. :)

[Cerridwen]

18. Very.good.point.

:)

[notadmblnd]

37. or she arranges McCains assination, whichever comes first?

"hang a right;" they meant your other right.

You missed your target by several clicks.

BTW, I'm not nice to r/w nuts. Ever.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

25. Where is that goddamned...

Laughing and pointing smiley Skinner promised?

[Cerridwen]

34. Eh, Skinner's wife had a new baby. I think he's distracted.

:D

Too bad, that would be a very cool smiley.

[eleny]

46. Well, here's one, sort of for the meantime

[ColbertWatcher]

24. Whore!

[LostinVA]

26. Please come back and play

The best ones do.

:cry:

[LunaSea]

28. Maybe the Senate can get a drive through too....

[Arctic Dave]

31. If sarah is qualified so is my dog Gus

He's a Japanese Chin(foriegn experience). He was top of his class in obedience school and he can read a telepromptor like palin.

[Cerridwen]

38. Based on current repub standards,

I think your dog is over-qualified. Sorry, come back next year. We'll keep his resume on file.

[riverdeep]

51. Only if you put lipstick on him. n/t

[Cerridwen]

57. And, he's a "pit bull" n/t

[wtmusic]

33. W was a governor

Why doesn't Sarah point that out? :rofl:

[flvegan]

35. That doesn't even make sense, tombstone.

Stupid douchebag.

[JVS]

39. Sarah should have spent more time raising her prego daughter.

To help keep her out of the maternity ward.

[Cerridwen]

42. The thing is, you don't even have to go there.

True, false, whatever.

She's not ready to "meet the press" but she's going to take on al-queada.

Ah, huh.

[JVS]

44. Yes, but it's fun and I want to go there.

[Cerridwen]

50. Okee dokee.

It's fun. From a political strategy angle, not very effective.

But hey, DUers as a whole, don't make political strategy. Have fun!

:)

[JVS]

53. Actually, I think conservatives will find taunting about a negligent mother raising a tramp..

.to be demoralizing. We prefer not to talk so bluntly about it here, but IRL it's a wicked taste of their own medicine.

[Cerridwen]

54. True. But I don't think the Obama/Biden campaign wants to go

there. It's fine if we want to. But I don't think they want to. Which is also fine. We each play our role.

I was hoping to present something the campaign could use that doesn't "lower us to their level" while still stating the, what to me, is obvious.

[JVS]

55. When taunting a 3 post troll, I'm not taking the high road. Now leave me alone.

Everyone does their own thing

[Cerridwen]

56. Ah, my mistake. I thought you were talking the campaign in general.

I didn't realize you were talking trolls specifically.

Carry on.

[Gormy Cuss]

40. Golly! Perhaps they should have joined the PTA then ran a small town

into the ground and switched parties.

[riverdeep]

22. It would be the obvious question.

And this is low hanging fruit that the Obama campaign should be striking home on. Don't let the damage continue for one more day.

For example:

Biden: I understand the Governor isn't taking questions until the press become more deferential. I wonder if that's the same request they'll make to Ahmadinejad or Putin.

[Cerridwen]

29. Precisely.

I think it's an easy target. I freaking wish they'd fire.

[JBoy]

30. Not ready to campaign on day, what is it, 10?

[Cerridwen]

36. Yeah, right? Wait, you attacked us? What. Give me a few days

and I'll have something for you.

Yeah, I feel safer.

[lonestarnot]

43. Isn't that just a bunch of bushitler mcsame!

[Cerridwen]

48. Sort of. But it can be presented without all the excess baggage.

In my opinion.

It points to her being unprepared for a freaking campaign, much less a true leadership role.

[lonestarnot]

45. She didn't even know Freddie and Fannie were private. Said they were just to big for taxpayers!

:eyes: :banghead:

[Cerridwen]

49. Yah, that reminds me...

you seen Skittles, yet?

I believe you are currently slated for an "official DU" ass-kicking. I'm just sayin'.

:rofl:

Yeah, I can track more than one thread at a time.

:D

[Tutonic]

58. I'm betting that she'll be ready to campaign on day 81.

[countryjake]

59. Imagine Palin under these circumstances...

and then imagine the country conceding to her being treated with such "deference", in that scenario.

McCain is really reaching with this holding back of the press and it's simply proving his pick's incompetence, with every tick of the clock.

[riverdeep]

61. Damn, that's a really powerful post. Simple, effective, cutting.

You should turn it into a thread. If you don't by tommorow, er, later today, I will.

[countryjake]

73. It's just the facts, plain and simple..."duties of a Vice President?"

Feel free, I've no claim on the thoughts, just illustrating that one crucial "duty" that our vice prez is expected to perform.



:thumbsup:

[opihimoimoi]

64. McCramming is he??? and HER TOO??? Trying to pretty up the GOPs Dismal Story?

It ain't gonna work...not today....its the pocket book...:Its the Economy Stupid-2"

The Pubs divert attention with "Babe Ticket"

McLapse had an episode when he picked her....

The shit is about to hit the FAN.....Big Time...

[Cerridwen]

74. Perfect. That image is worth more than a thousand words.

Thank you.

[Greyhound]

Another episode of "American :wtf: ".

[Number23]

63. Truest words I've read today

she is not ready to *campaign* on day one, but we are to believe she is ready to lead on day one?

Boggles the boggles, don't it?? And why am I just starting to realize that most of the really good discussions on DU seem to occur here and not in GD-P???

[opihimoimoi]

67. The Sarah Hype is wearing thin....soon Revelations will confirm her

Status as being not ready for prime time.....

Startling sign of a double cross is deception...she decieves a lot...too many inconsistent and inaccurate statements

Right now she is cramming her ass off....trying to memorize all the talking points fed to her by another Loser..Joe Libermann.

How long does it take to memorize all them lies so ya don't trip up? Weeks, months, years. ??? .

Just because she has a gift of gab...does it mean she is the best of the available Republicans?

How Crappy of McCaineMutiny to risk us with his Pick......a confirmation that in his eyes...its Not "Country First" Its McCaine First....He Risks Poor Inadequate Untested Leadership of America should he becomes incapacitated after winning/stealing the election.

Did someone steal his strawberries?

That "pick" of his...demonstrated Selfishness and Vanity...components of BULLYism.....National Empathy is not in his Frame of Mind.

[Number23]

72. Now THAT is the million $ question, my friend....

How long does it take to memorize all them lies so ya don't trip up? Weeks, months, years. ???

She's not just memorizing the GOP lies, she's being exposed for the first time to the everyday occurrences of the world -- something the other candidates have long been familiar with.

Since she obviously won't be going off of her own learning or experience, there is really no way to know how long her cram sessions will or should take.

[radfringe]

65. puzzling.... who's the prop? shield?

why hasn't Palin gone out campaigning on her own?

she's only appeared with mccain - why?

Is she being used to prop up mccain, or is mccain propping her up? is she mccain's shield or is mccain her shield?

[Hubert Flottz]

66. She's not the "Change" candidate, she's the Special Needs...

candidate. Not ready for prime time. Not ready to carry the nuclear football for team America.

[opihimoimoi]

68. The RED BUTTON in HER Hand???? OHHHHH LAWDY>>>>>

:toast: Might as well drink already....Beer thirty

:beer: :bounce: :0)

:)

[Hubert Flottz]

69. The GOPers will put John's ass on the bench and special needs

Sarah will tote the nuclear football to the gates of hell and beyond, for team neocon.

Wake up and smell the brimstone!

[opihimoimoi]

70. They got clips of her preaching in that snake church of hers...no snakes but

same cult....lemme see if I can get the link.
