  • MSNBC retracts Palin rumors
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

I guess the good part about Palin possibly running for President is that she could potentially make a 3rd party candidate a viable alternative.
Faithful,

You are very clever. You claim to be a conservative but you are just playing go drink your Obama Kool-Aid and believe all you read about Gov Palin. You are right she is god awful that is how she become a GOV and recieved an 80% approval rating. It is amazing see cut a deal with Canada and didn't even know they existed.

Take your liberal talking points somewhere else
:cheers:

Or at least be up front about it. Reminds me of Keith Olberman being an objective journalist. Fox News has some hardcore partisans (right AND left) but at least they are up front about it.
You both are as biased as anyone I've ever met. I'd love to vote Republican if there was a viable candidate, and instead both of you bury your heads in the sand and lump me in with the people voting for Obama just because I'm not blindly following a party like both of you. Did you miss the memo that I voted for Barr? Don't let logic cloud your hating.
You claim to be a conservative, yet thought Obama was a better candidate than McCain. Makes sense to me. :sarcasm:

Considering my vote went to a more conservative candidate, how do you have room to talk?

You voted for someone that considered joining the Democratic party a few years ago, but because he has a little R next to his name, that makes you more knowledgeable about conservatism. Give me a break. When you have nothing intelligent to say is when you start blaming me as being an Obama supporter because it's easier than trying to refute anything I say.

You voted for an irrelevant candidate, so I have plenty of room to talk.

Here's one simple "yes" or "no" question. Do you think Obama was a better presidential candidate than McCain?

Is that really your argument? So are you going to use the rest of Obama's campaign material to justify your points? The fact that they had that sound bit of McCain saying he voted with Bush more than his Republican colleagues was directly related to people questioning him on not following those policies. McCain said after the 2000 primaries that he considered switching parties. Just look at the people that he hung around with in Congress (Lieberman and Biden).

I don't personally have a problem with Palin, but I don't think she should be the face of a Republican party that needs to regroup. If she becomes that, then I think there will be a lot of Republicans questioning their party. I'd love to have a Republican candidate that I could be proud to vote for, and I just think there's a lot of better candidates out there.

As to Lars question, I didn't see much of a difference between Obama and McCain. McCain was more conservative, but he let his party dictate his entire campaign, which worried me about the cast of people that would end-up surrounding him. If I had to choose one to vote for, then I would've stayed home on Tuesday.

Republicans pushing for Palin to be the future face of the GOP are doing the democratic party the biggest favor in the world.

If you want to cite favorability ratings, then look at those ratings nationally. She was viewed as unfavorable by 57% of unaffiliated voters by Rasmussen. Her voting demographics for women, which is where she was supposed to help McCain -- were HORRIBLE.

It seems to me that there continues to be a tons of finger pointing in the RNC campaign, where the truth is everyone was involved in the failure...including your boy McCain. Don't assume he's free from responsibility in the loss.

It was a travesty how the Obama campaign and MSM smeared Palin. Women's groups hated her because she's not pro-abortion.

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

Ok, NLA, if you'd prefer "anti-life" I can use that.

(for the record, I'm officially "pro-choice", but it makes me sick to see these groups make hay over this issue politically)

I've tried to broker a peace deal between the abortion and anti-abortion groups by legalizing the RU486 pill, and making late term abortions illegal. But nobody bought it, and I was equally hated by both sides. :D

i'll concede that late term abortions are just plain wrong. i also think that the advocacy groups go a little too far, but you have to consider that there is a lot at stake. i probably would never want for my wife to get an abortion, but I don't have the moral authority to tell someone else they shouldn't. wow, this has gotten WAY off topic.

I would argue we're on topic because the MSNBC rumor was designed to help destroy Palin, and much of the underlying hate is due to her Pro-life abortion stance.
