palin can't even run a car wash, and she's somehow qualified to be one heartbeat away from the presidency?

Quote:

The car wash venture was not entirely smooth sailing. State records show the business ran into trouble with Alaska's division of corporations business and professional licensing after Palin became governor of the state in 2006.

A Feb. 11, 2007 letter to the governor's business partner advises that the car wash had "not filed its biennial report and/or paid its biennial fees," which were more than a year overdue.

The warning letter was written on state letterhead, which carried Palin's name at the top, next to the state seal.

On April 3, 2007, the state went further and issued a "certificate of involuntary dissolution" because of the car wash's failure to file its report and pay state licensing fees.

oh, and btw, she failed to disclose her involvement in the business (as required by law) when she ran for governor.

whoops!

Gawd, the lefties are falling like flies for the GOP strategy. The GOP was counting on vicious attacks on Sarah, and of course there will be a back lash, as many Women are still a bit upset about the Hillary having the nomination snatched from her by a man and then the same Obama supporters are attacking this other women for being less than “perfect.” The GOP thinks this could be swing needed, and the dems are so stupid they didn’t see it and haven fallen feet first into this GOP laid trap. Who are the dems going to convince with these vicious attacks on Sarah? These attacks will turn off voters even if Obama tries to distance himself.

Will the dems self-destruct by being suckered into a lose-lose position by the GOP like so many times before?

Ya gotta admit, dems ain’t so good at playing the political strategy game. This one was easy to see, I am not sure it will work but the dems should have seen this coming and been prepared.

So name some of these 'vicious attacks' on Sarah. All that I've seen is pretty tame.

Her daughter is pregnant- there may be some slander surrounding that, but I have yet to see it.
She has hired lawyers for an ethics investigation- it's true, hardly a vicious attack.
Large amount of federal funds raised for her town when she was Mayor- thats more like a backhanded compliment.
She is offside with the Republican establishment in Alska- which is true, but thats maybe because she's busted several of them for corruption.

I remember some rumour about Sarah raising her childs daughter? That soon died out.
Really, all these Wacko Obama stories are old and lame now. What is the Wacko Left saying about Sarah?
I've heard absolutely no juicy stuff myself. Stuff like Obama stuff- an Arab, a Moslem, a Commie, an associate of terrorists- y'know, good stuff like that.

Palin daughter's boyfriend calls himself a 'redneck'

The boyfriend of US vice-president candidate Sarah Palin's daughter describes himself on his MySpace page as a "f****** redneck" according to news reports.

Bristol Palin's boyfriend has been named as 18-year-old high school hockey player Levi Johnston.

It was announced yesterday that Bristol, 17, was pregnant, just days after her mother was named as John McCain's conservative running mate.
According to Britain's Daily Mail, Johnston said on his MySpace page: "I don't want kids."

The New York post reports that the page has since been taken down.

Odds for Palin
Today, William Hill cut the odds that Palin, 44, would be sacked to 8-1 from 20-1. Paddy Power now puts the odds of Palin leaving the ticket at 14-1, compared to 28-1 before yesterday's disclosure about Bristol Palin, the daughter. The Paddy Power betting house is also offering 33-1 odds that she will go by the end of this week. Ladbrokes is offering 10-1 odds that Palin will quit the race.

Intrade, a Dublin-based peer-to-peer betting Web site, opened a contract on Palin to be withdrawn as the Republican vice presidential nominee. The latest price was 12 cents, up 9 cents today. Each contract at that price will pay 88 cents per contract if Palin leaves the ticket.

leave the ticket? but mcsame said he and gimick were "soulmates".

The Palin nomination might just be a brilliant move if American voters are stupid enough to fall for Republican culture war demagoguery.

In other words, get ready for Bush part III.

The Republicans want this to be a big election about small things. It worked in 2004 with gay marriage etc, it could work again.

Depressing.

Guess the Dems want to lose, beating up Palin on these trivial matters is making them look like muppets again. This negativity will be once again their undoing.

How do you reconcile that statement with the beat-up job that was surrounding Obama?

I don't think the GOP needs any help from the Dems. Her selection is causing the GOP to self destruct. It's not just the Dems. Mainstream media is on all these latest revelations like stink on shit. In trying to stem the "bad press" the GOP is spending way to much time defending her on what I'm sure most Republican's now believe was a major tactical error. She has now become a major distraction to the GOP. One they can little afford given their recent 4% point drop in the polls.

ChiangMai noon · 03-09-2008, 09:02 PM

trouble with asking brit a question, he invariably answers, rhetorical or not.

britmaveric · 03-09-2008, 09:04 PM

So when Obama loses I expect credit for predicting it.

Rumour on TV is that Brett has dementia.
