Since she is quoted and reported on, the question of her worthiness is irrelevant, and I will continue to respond when I think I have something to share.

I'm certainly not adverse to being updated on her latest "moves", in fact, I wait with bated breath to hear her actually make a constructive, substantive move.
Then what are you complaining about? How odd that you complain and ask why those who favor her continue to post threads about her in the "news", but have yet to ask the same question for those who post bash thread after bash thread about her.

I think I know the answer.

Here is where we originally started out:

Then DC said: But if you post on every little thing she does, it seems that you are asking for people to respond in some way. I realize that you aren't the only CD poster that frequently puts up Palin posts, and I realize that there is another poster who probably does so more often, and in a negative way versus your more positive posts, but if you don't want commentary to her actions, why post on them?

You said that the Left put her on a pedestal by responding to every utterance and criticism.

I pointed out that on this thread, the Left was responding to your OP, that no one is putting her on a pedestal, but that you are providing a podium for her "every utterance."

I guess what I'm saying is that your remark about the pedestal seems to be critical of liberals, like Palin being in the news is all the fault of liberals. When the actuality IMO is that Palin is seeking the limelight, is seeking being in the news and that when posters start threads about her, they are actually fishing for liberal responses to Palin remarks and actions. Then, when they get those responses, they blame liberals for any controversy to begin with.

Not just the Left on this forum.

Not critical of the Left at all, in fact, we have the Left to thank for her unrestricted, unfettered access to the media and the national stage.

I have said all along, she is much more valuable being "out there", talking about obama's policies and voicing her own opinions on a variety of subjects.

Commentary is fine. Complaining about starting a thread about Palin is not, unless you apply the same principle to your brethren.

No doubt she will. Virtually every peep out of her gets enormous media attention, which will work out perfectly as she pounds obama on his disastrous policies.

lol...the acronym for Palin's new group is Sufor....

you can't make this stuff up....


~In today's News Sufor was at it again promoting ex-Governor quitter Palin's tour of more pain for the US taxpayers as she wrangles with the concepts of governance, Foreign Policy, and Geography~

You wish.

I suspect she will be driving the Left insane in the coming months.

Just think, every speech covered by the media, every policy speech and commentary regarding obama's governance covered by the media, the scramble by the media for interviews, the fundraising for GOP candidates in 2010, for sure to fire them up.

Good Times ahead.

Probably so, but then again, she has so much experience at being insane that she is imminently qualified for an honorary doctorate in crazy.

I think you took it as complaining, when it wasn't meant as a complaint at all. Just an observation that when people start a thread, they will receive a mix of responses.

The Republican Party has officially entered straight jacket territory - There's the Steele Party, The Teabaggers, Palin's Suforrers, Limbaughs Dittoheads....

Did I miss any?

Ah...the quiet, embarrassed "real Republicans" who want nothing to do with any of these nuts...lol

Well I know I don't hate her, in fact I love her like one loves a cuddly teddy bear. I think she should be offered a 24/7 infomercial channel and allowed to give speeches everyday with youtube clips of the election every so often.

She is like the David Koresh or Billy Mayes of craze, and I can only support her every chance I get. When the William Buckley type conservatives see that "this" is where some in the GOP want to go, hopefully they will stand up and take charge. I mean even Lindsey Graham is worried about the Ron Paul type Repubicans from 'taking over'.
