Sarah Palin needs to go far away

[Zevico]

He was right, I was being sarcastic. Why do folks make me out to be dour? I'm not. Boris at least gets it.

I'm also not really taking this argument all that seriously. People here seem to be treating it like the ten commandments. Etched on stone for all time. I guess it fits the meme that "Ben is just an idiot". I'm only too happy to play around. Do you think I sincerely *care* about what Poly thinks of me? I have fun being the ogre on here.

I'm having trouble working out a joke here. Ogre doesn't really work, so I'll mix it up a little and call you a giant, with the inevitable "fee fi fo fum I smell the blood of a [appropriate political reference here]." I'm sort of stuck at that point though.

[Ben Kenobi]

Fee-fi-fo-fum!
I smell the blood of an Englishman.
Be he 'live, or be he dead,
I'll grind his bones to make my bread.



Gosh, must be 20 years since I've heard that.

[Wezil]

Please, Ben does that like 15 times in a debate. He's like the "1984" of Apolyton (we've always been at war with East Asia!).

Intellectual honesty is not his strong suit.

[Theben]

How epicly stupid were the people who supported Palin?

This one goes up to 11.

[Theben]

Yes, it was incredibly stupid for people to vote for Bush. Glad we agree.

Reagan did it 1st.

[Boris Godunov]

Reagan did it 1st.

Reagan was the first president to get stupid people to vote for him? Doubt it...

[Theben]

Nah, the 1st to run up a huge debt needlessly.

[Provost Harrison]

Aaaaand then he was behind in the polls after she opened her mouth and America learned she was retarded.

Never seemed to harm Dubya...

[DaShi]

He was a well trained monkey.

[Elok]

Also a male, which probably helped. And his particular brand of stupid, "iron-jawed know-nothing cowpoke" was more easily translated into a Great Leader myth than Palin's "Mom from Bobby's World on crack."

[Straybow]

[Q=Boris Godunov;5705606]I guess now would be a good time to remind you that Reagan's popular vote % in 1980 was only 50.7%, while Obama's was 52.9% (the largest for a non-incumbent party candidate since Eisenhower in 1952).[/Q] Except there was a spoiler in the 1980 election. Reagan beat Carter by 50.7 to 41.0, nearly 10 points, 35% larger than Obama's 7.2 points.

[Straybow]

[Q=Elok;5706153]Also a male, which probably helped. And his particular brand of stupid, "iron-jawed no-nothing cowpoke" was more easily translated into a Great Leader myth than Palin's "Mom from Bobby's World on crack."[/Q] "On crack?" Really?

[Imran Siddiqui]

"On crack" would probably be generous to Governor Palin.

[Straybow]

I see, just because the Governor of Alaska didn't know what the "Bush Doctrine" was in an interview a week after being chosen as McCain's running mate, and because she called the Dems in Congress on their Health Death Care Reform she's "on crack?"

[Asher]

It's good to see a lot of men still see her as a potential **** and not a complete disaster.
