I think maybe it's time to cool things down a bit, because a number of people are getting downright nasty.
I'm going to close this thread. Feel free to start another thread on this topic (and provide a link to this one), but try to make it a bit more civil.
Thanks.

One question!

Which among you, puts your political skills above hers?

And, if your answer is me, then why don't I see your name up there?(that's two).

I'll suggest that she is more like most of us are, than most of us are willing to admit!

I'm a dumb, backwards-ass-canuck(according to some)nimblefuckinminded hillbilly and she can make her case to me in a language that I can understand!

I say THANKS! It may not be the King's English, But I get her point!

Glad to oblige, Little Seeker! To whit:

After studing both Sarah Palin's and Simple Seeker's speeches and writings at some length, they have much in common: vapid, bombastic, self-aggrandizing, somewhat pompous, and riddled with errors, wild assumptions, conclusions based on little or no evidence and other innacuracies.

Nor, Greg, did I ever say you said Sweden was a socialist state. You did however make a singularly pointless statement which a reasonable person would conclude was contradicting my statement just previous, based partly on Wikipedia, that Sweden was not a socialist state.

(No I will not diagram that sentence.)

And I have read on Mudcat that Sweden was a socialist state. Perhaps now I won't see it again.

You're right, Ebbie. As I noted before, Reagan's trajectory is the one Sarah has picked out for herself.   And, depending on the economy between now and 2012, it could work--unfortunately.

Ron, I don't have any more information than you, other than word of mouth from friends and acquaintances and from the occasional comic routine in town.

I have to admit I would never have believed that she would accept the bid to become vice president either so perhaps it's all wishful thinking on my part.

I do think that she is the Ronald Reagan of the distaff side. And we know how that turned out.

The key to almost all of these issues is--in my humble opinion--a lack of education, which I think the public owes to its young people. Yet school districts around the country are laying off teachers and talking about going to 4 day schedules and eliminating subject matter.

So the poster believes name-calling is possible without gutter language. I have no doubt. he also seems to imply that I have in fact done this.   Exact quotes, please.

I do not engage in name-calling.

I do make pointed observations on behavior, without using barnyard language to do so--which is the refuge of the semiliterate.

Perhaps the poster has learned a bit about Sweden--and a bit about debate.   If so, our conversation has been more than worthwhile. If I can contribute in some small way to his education, it is an eminently worthy goal.   Heaven knows his education appears to be sorely lacking up to now. Apropos of this, when suggesting remedial English, perhaps the poster should be looking in the mirror.

I make no pretensions whatsoever to being a good Christian. It's far more fun to be a sinner--and I'm not in the least religious. But I'm a firm believer in "hate the sin, not the sinner" In this context, I'm sure the poster is a calm, well-informed, modest, easy-going, friendly individual.   So it's quite a mystery why he has chosen a surly, sneering, intolerant, ignorant but arrogant (truly a winning combination), foul-mouthed persona on Mudcat. It's as if the persona is a Martin Gibson wannabe.   I assure him this persona is not a good choice. We don't need "Martin Gibson:   The Return"--though I'm sure it would be an exciting sequel.



Re:   Sarah

Washington Post 22 April 2010:   "None of the leading potential 2012 contenders has been as aggressive at the endorsement game as Sarah Palin, who has helped two dozen candidates so far."   

As I said, she knows how to play the game--and is making all the moves necessary to preface a 2012 run.

Mudcatters will have to take her seriously--or pay the consequences.

"I've had problems..."

Indeed?

That sounds amazingly like:   "I can dish it out but I can't take it."

Well the poster might want to consider developing a thicker skin. And if that doesn't work--or if his ego is too tender--why does that come to mind?--perhaps starting to think and not lashing himself to the masts of quite so many sinking ships.

Or of course he can always continue to whine, if that makes him feel better.   I certainly hope it does. As I said earlier, our main goal on Mudcat is to make him happy.

The poster might also want to consider standup comedy. Somebody who suggests that I need remedial English, while himself suffering from such a pathetic grasp of the language that he needs nearly constant recourse to vulgarisms, is obviously a brilliant comic talent and should look into this possibility.

By the way, I've had absolutely no problems with the poster in question. I find our exchanges delightful and quite revealing.   And fascinating, as I've mentioned before.

By the way, how's the little mouse?



Back to the actual topic of the thread: dear Sarah

It seems that her Discovery show was recently screened for the prospective ad sponsors. They considered such a mismatch that they laughed at it.   It's likely now to be consigned to the nether reaches of the schedule. Next best thing to getting it cancelled.

She still gets her $2 million, no doubt.

Only question now is:   will people still watch it and be won over by Sarah's no doubt warm approach.

But thanks to anybody who did contact Discovery and try to have her show dropped from the schedule.
