SaraPAC? NO MORE Sara Palin!

[Moparal]

Ok here's my opinion.

I wouldn't vote for Sara

I dont want a president everyone wants bang on. I dont want to see another pretty face on tv, I wanna see a go getter, somone with a track record showing of living a life for  WE THE PEOPLE.  Someone that has spent years trying to understand and fight for our rights without looking to be in a spotlite.  Someone that is not rich or craving to be rich. Somone who really cares for the people who actually wants to fight for the people who are the back bone of the USA  and to start cleaning up the mess that was created by greed, bribes and lies. 

I wanna see a different change in the government.  Where there is no cushion for a job. Someone wanting a job and getting paid to do that job.  Everyone wants an atta boy, but really earning one is the tough part. 

Some are born leaders and some are trainees.   America will eventually see a true leader.   

I would say more, but Gordon just come over with his new wife to show us wedding pics.

But the real people that run this country will never allow that.

Save the part about the spotlight (how can you run for President if you don't want to be in the spotlight?), this is why I voted for Obama.  IMO, the last true leader we had as president was JFK.  As to whether he'll prove to be a "true leader", only time will tell.  It's kind of like hiring a new employee - a guy may interview well, have all the credentials and background, but you really don't really know what you have until he's on the job.  It's all a crapshoot.

Remember JFK had his pie in the face moment with the bay of pigs. I consider Reagan to be worth twice any other President that has been in office since I have been old enough to know what's going on.

True, that was a big one.  I think you could add in Vietnam, though that's more laid at the feet of LBJ and Nixon (and I'm not dissing the service of the men and women who served in Vietnam any more than I would those who served in Iraq.)  I think JFK redeemed himself over the Cuban Missile Crisis.

All of them have made mistakes, including Reagan (Lebanon, IranContra).  All of them have done things right.  They and their staffs are human and I'm sure they all try to make the best decisions they can, based on the information they have, even Jimmy Carter and GWB.  I may not agree with those decisions, just as many others here don't agree with the decisions being made by Obama, but I always have enough respect for the man and the office to assume they're trying to do the right thing.

[71chally416]

By the time Nixon got in office the Vietnam was was so unpopular from being mismanaged all he could do was pull out. It should have been won by then.

The best thing JFK ever did was lower taxes. Obama is very good at getting people to do what he wants, much like Reagan was. The question is if what he's doing is right. I see no evidence yet to support that. More people lost thier jobs in June than May. Korea fired 7 missiles on the 4th to give him the middle finger. Gas is more now than it was the day he was elected and will go up more if his cap & trade passes, guaranteed. The price of everything is going up. I haven't tried to get a loan recently but I've heard you better have a spotless credit rating. Closing Gitmo is gonna cost us $80Mill and they still don't know where the prisioners are gonna go.

So where's any good news?

Well, I wrote a long, boring exit diatribe a couple hours ago and apparently lost my connection when I hit "post". Just my luck, or maybe it's just another sign that I was exercising very poor judgement when I started this thread. I'll try it again. (The audience hisses and boo's........) I hope the pilgrims are hungry, because I give up and will move on, this fat chicken has had enough. I'd rather talk about cars anyway.

I could have easily NOT typed it originally, but y'all could have ignored it just as easily, so check the mirror before the finger-pointing starts.

I think most missed that I don't think that political banner ads belong on a "car talk" forum. Left, right, commie or conservative, this isn't the place for them. THAT WAS THE POINT OF THE RANT for those who weren't paying attention. I don't own this domain or pay the bills here, so I guess I'll just grin and bear it and ignore the bottom 2" of the page.

I'm still not sure exactly what I did to heebee. I will not debase myself by continuing the personal attack on him or his grammar and punctuation. I've never met the man and will continue to respect his right to his opinion as I would anyone else's. Obviously, mine is substandard and needs "backup" to be valid. Whatever. Might want to adjust that "I will try and be nice amen" signature, though. Or try harder.

Some of my best friends are "right wing wackos", but we agree to disagree, move on and talk about cars, boats, work, etc. We call this radical concept mutual respect. Opinions and assholes? Yeah, I was wondering when that tired cliche' would rear its ugly head. I've got plenty and resemble that remark.

As far as Nancy Pelosi and her simpering sidekick Harry Reid...Yep, they're worthless, but I'm not sure what that had to do with the original subject. I'd go so far as to say they're both an embarassment to the whole country.

I'd bet my next paycheck that Sarah Palin (spelled it right for once) is doing what she's doing for her own personal gain, financially and politically. No different than any other elected official. We'll see a book, a website or six and probably an hour a day on Fox News.

I like Moparal's point of view. I'd vote for him too, if I don't get shot by then.

Wow, we're onto JFK, Nixon and 'Nam now.

To anyone that I may have offended.......I'll see if we can get you a membership card.   

That is all.

my father in law took the pics over cuba and yes russia was in our back yard . e - systems     JFK was on the money . I have yet to find a last name in the phone book that doesnt have some negative history if for no other reason than the size of the family , a good prez but not great . obama well thats a whole quagmire no credentials and the salesman style qualitys of a used car salesman no offence to car salesmen . people love a warm and fuzzy lie over the truth any day .

[hebeegbz]

O crap i thought this was a political rant .

[bb71challenger]

I wasnt even a squiggly in my dads scrotum when JFK was in office and my dad has always had a pretty good take on things but this bit of his opinion always puzzled me given JFK's hugely positive legacy. He has always told me that other than the missile crisis, JFK never impressed him much at all.

Tha sad thing is there have not been many, if any, of these type of politicians for a long time and I doubt it will get any better.

[71chally416]

Palin has quite a Wikipedia page. I'd say if every Politician in America had a record like hers (including refusing a pay raise as Governor) we'd be a whole lot better off as a nation. We had a female Governor in Jersey too for 8 years. Christine Todd Whitman. Looking back over "I'm a Gay American" Jim McSkeevey and "I never saw a tax I didn't hike" Corzine I'd say she did a hellova a job too. I know she lowered taxes over 30 times. It's never easy being a Conservative female Politician. 

[moparmaniac59]

How many senate votes did Obama miss while jet setting around the country for the election. Was he raped by the media for it?? NOT...yet Sarah Palin steps down to relieve her state from the buden of defending pointless ethics charges and to allow the state to go forward and move on and gets taken to the cleaners. Right or wrong isn't so much the sore spot for me as the disparity between whats OK for one party but taboo for the other!!! Our country no longer has statesmen, we only have politicians. Moparal has my vote for president!!
