Drip; Drip, Drip; gone. Palin will withdraw by weeks end.
George Lakoff reminds us that republithugs will like her; and we have to argue not "reality facts" but gear our arguments toward the "political mind"

We need to argue she would harm families; such as is the case with a pregnant daughter not receiving modern sex education. etc.

1. We don't have to argue squat
They're doing a fine job falling to pieces all by themselves.

Just kick back and enjoy the show. :popcorn:

3. Agree with Lakoff 100%
She's a liar. If she lies about the small stuff, she lies about anything.

She's irresponsible. At best, she recklessly endangered her child with her insane trip after her water broke.

6. She sure lied about that trip to Ireland
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/02/palins-trip-to-ireland-a_n_123264.html

The Ireland trip was a refueling stop on her trip to military installations in Germany and Kuwait, spokeswoman Maria Comella said.

4. I wish she would stand in front
of all those Republicans and say To Hell with all of you. I am out of here. I don't need this crap. They had no business allowing her to feel she could actually be vice-president of the U.S. Maybe I am selling her short and don't mean to do that but this is the Keystone Kops of the Republican party.

9. there's only one talking point on this
you want a person with ZERO national or foreign policy to be a heartbeat away from running this country?

I'd almost rather she be on the ticket.... however it really scares me if they win (or steal it).

11. Are you joking? She ran THE P.T.A., FER CRISSAKES!
In case you hadn't heard;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYOSQbywrGk

I mean, really? What more could you ask for? She's a mom, she ran corruption out of her little podunk town and she was in charge of the goddamned Parents Teachers Association.
If that isn't foreign policy experience, I don't know what is.

What's really scary is that the American electorate is just gullible enough to allow them to possibly pull this off.
