I don't know why anti-Palin gets grouped with ultra-liberals though...there's even the most conservative Republicans who agree that Palin is way inexperienced.

Hey, I'm in the "let's rip on Palin" line... I can't stand her. I respect the woman but I hate her stance on most issues, especially social ones.

What I'm talking about are some of the ridiculous accusations and discussions that go on around her. If people want to discuss her policy (what policy she has, that is), I'm all for it. That rarely happens, though. Almost every thread about here turned into a shitstorm and people were creating 4-5 a day for a few weeks.

Yeah, i mean I don't agree with her on any issue that I can think of.  However the closest thing i've seen to an actual debate on her as a candidate is "John McCain picked her only to get womens vote"

Which isn't even true since she had the backing of a lot of prominent conservatives in the VP race like Newt Gingrich.  She didn't come out of nowhere.... she just wasn't covered by the media because she was on the "second tier" of VP candidates.

Actual political debate is a good thing, not stuff about like... people faking pregnancies to assassanate the pope on hitlers birthday.

 

It's a fair enough point about the early Sara Palin threads.  The whole pregnancy conspiracy theories etc.... but its hard to attack her policies since she doesn't seem to have any other than her social stances - like abstinence only teaching (oppose), anti-women's choice (oppose), no gay marriage (oppose).  And if we get into a thread about any one of those it turns into the bitterly divided hatred both sides have for each other that has spanned many decades already.  None of us are going to convince an opponent of our own viewpoint on any of these issues.  It can't be done, except possibly in the case of preventing abstinence only teaching.

CBS seems to have been lucky enough to get a hold of Palin for a few moments.  I will leave you to watch this video at your leisure - http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4476649n

I mean really?  She was picked to be Vice President of the United States?  Am I living in some kind of fantasy world?  It's just unreal.
