I think Palin did meet the two necessary qualifications they had for their vp pick --- woman, either on the national stage or a governor, and anti-choice.

I might not agree but these are no less a valid qualifications than white male and southern or white male and great campaigner. Veeps don't get picked because of qualifications regarding ability to be president -- at least not in my lifetime.

Cheney was POTUS for 8 years. :lol:

But only Palin and Quail were too incompetent to be acting POTUS if necessary.

But ya, VPs are picked to cover POTUS candidate's flaws, not for back-up.

Palin would have tanked America by now.

Maybe only seven years. George W. seemed to be discarding the neo-cons around him during his last year. Cheney was not prominent on the national stage by 2008. However, he surely was POTUS for most of George W.'s term. Even if George W. had been smarter, he was in the neo-con grip most of the time.

W's last year was his best year. If only he had done what he did, 7 years earlier. W's problem was that he owed too many favors and it essentially took him 7 years to pay them off.

It's been around for a while according to messages on Snopes. The original version gave the date as 1835, which meant that "Sinclair Lewis was apparently making pithy quotes 50 years prior to his birth."

The quote appears not to be from Sinclair Lewis, although Snopes itself has not shown that. It may be a conflation of something Huey Long said with a minor writer's (Harrison Evans Salisbury) attempt to summarize Lewis' It Can't Happen Here.

As for the picture, it is one of many with the flag wrapped around some semblance of Sarah Palin.

Palin mocks ‘cocaine snorting’ Obama for ‘eating Fido’

Quote:
During her keynote speech at the RightOnline conference in Las Vegas on Friday, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin chastised the media and mocked President Barack Obama.

She accused the media of failing to “vet” the President while he was campaigning in 2008, a common complaint made by conservatives.

“So, for the sake of argument, say they ran out of money,” Palin said. “Why did they at least not read his autobiography? They’d have a learned a whole lot. They’d have learned a whole lot, and not just about that pot smoking and that cocaine snorting and what he ate — Fido, Rufus. I think it is funny that the cocktail circuit circus gives me a hard time for eating elk and moose, but come on. There’s a difference. Anybody here have a pet moose? There’s a difference.”

The conference for conservative activists and bloggers has been organized by Americans for Prosperity for the past four years.


http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/06/17/p ... ting-fido/

I don't remember anyone giving her a "hard time" for eating elk and moose. Just for shooting wolves from helicopters. Another Palin lie?

Also, comparing what a kid was fed with what an adult ate is absurd.

Sarah Palin positively embodies "absurd" :twisted:

We ragged on her for having daddy load her gun. And we ragged on her for blaming the gun for missing.

It's a poor workman who blames his tools.

Gryphen is Jesse Griffin, Alaska blogger. In her speech at the RightOnline convention in Vegas the other day Palin railed about the "lies" told about her by the lamestream media, but as examples she used story the stories about the property she almost bought in Montana, impending divorce from Tawwwd, and not giving birth to the Trig. These stories came out in blog posts by Gryphen on his ImmoralMinority blog not in the regular media. Drove Palin bananas to not know who he was. Palin's FM's finally figured out who he was and showed up at his workplace to hassle him with a restraining order or something.

Gryph wrote, link above, that she brings up these stories over and over again and over-explains them long after the media has left them alone. So that's a tell for him, or as he calls it a "give", that she's lying. He also likens her bringing up the Trig story to an arsonist returning to the scene of the crime to admire his handiwork and see if anyone has any clues to whodunnit. :lol:

Report: Palin Hasn’t Received Invitation To 2012 RNC

Sarah Palin made a grand national introduction at the 2008 Republican National Convention when she accepted her party’s vice presidential nomination, but she may not be a part of this year’s GOP confab. Newsweek reports that Palin has yet to receive an invitation to participate at her party’s convention in Tampa, where Mitt Romney will be officially minted as the Republican presidential nominee.

Romney and Palin haven’t exactly been close political allies. Palin’s nationwide bus tour rolled through New Hampshire last June on the same day that Romney kicked off his presidential run in the Granite State — a move interpreted by many as one-upmanship on the part of the former Alaska governor

That may be the first smart thing Mitten's campaign has done. That woman is a vacuum that can suck the air out of the entire convention city.
