[backscatter712]

27. Michelle might have a problem with that... n/t

[tabbycat31]

42. and I'm sure that's what the GOP wants

after all if she gets a stimulus out of his package, that way they can impeach him.

[NightWatcher]

2. that's what she said

[underpants]

6. :-)

[Catshrink]

3. Another bridge to nowhere, Sarah?

I thought you were opposed to government handouts.

[underpants]

4. Poor Sarah had to be dragged kicking and screaming to a DC elite "Alfalfa Club" dinner this week

I'm just sure she really really didn't want to go

Palin to attend Alfalfa Club Dinner (President Obama Will Be There Too)

January 29, 2009 8:15 AM

Washington DC's elite Alfalfa Club has only 200 or so members, mostly drawn from the worlds of business and politics (and specifically not from journalism).

Since 1913, the club has feted various leaders and jokingly nominated its own presidential candidates in an annual booze-and-giggles off-the-record black-tie dinner.

President George W. Bush attended the Alfalfa Club dinner every year of his presidency. And President Obama will be there Saturday night.

One other guest? Yesterday in Juneau, Alaska, Gov. Sarah Palin told reporters should would be there. Strictly as an advocate for Alaska, of course.

“The Alfalfa dinner, yes, in fact that’s because President Obama is scheduled to be there," Palin said. "And how often will I have an opportunity to have dinner with the president? I will take up that offer to do so."

14. The horror! Palin's fans must be up in arms - NOT.

The woman is clearly trying to position herself for a 2012 run against President Obama (you can stop laughing now).

SarahPAC, Alfalfa Club dining...

Yup. She's going to run in 2012 just like some talking heads have been predicting ever since she made known she's attending the Alfalfa Club dinner.

The woman is such a fraud.

[underpants]

18. I was going to mention that she just started a PAC but you already know that

normal course of business for a pol. She really should have started one already and raked it in while she was on the ticket

[BlueCaliDem]

21. Yeah, Palin is slow and late coming to the game - and then she wants

to become the 45th president?? HEEEEELLL no!

Not gonna happen, uh-uh.

[greendog]

7. She needs about $5000.00 a year for every person in Alaska...

...so she can continue to purchase enough popularity to be re-elected in 2010.

With lower per-barrel oil prices poor little Sarah is going to have a hard time finding enough cash to keep her 'thing' going.

[underpants]

11. As I understand it the Alaska state budget assumes $75 a barrel oil

or was it $60?

either way they are hurting but then Exxon has tons of cash so maybe Sarah can squeeze them for it again...not that that is something she is supposed to be against mind you

It's pretty easy to be popular when you can propose anything and the guys sitting at the bar say "Fine, I ain't paying for it" and the next guy says "Hell, they are PAYING US!!!" and everyone laughs

[alwysdrunk]

8. She's not asking him to "spread the wealth around" is she?

Because, you know, she can't really do that.

[BlueCaliDem]

15. That's exactly what she's doing. Good thing the "liberal" media's picked up

on this little nugget, right? :looking around: ...uh... well, any time now... :crickets:

[Catshrink]

20. Socialism??? Miss Sarah I'm shocked!

not.

When will this woman go away?

[liberal N proud]

10. Remember Bill with Monica - Don't do it Mr President

[NYC_SKP]

12. His package is SO big...she can see it from her house in Alaska!!!

:evilgrin:

[Sultana]

44. .

:spray:


Bravo :thumbsup:

[terisan]

16. Alaska citizens will be shouldering the outrageous debt just like the rest of us.

I wonder if we can arrange a law to not give some states any stimulus money and give each of its citizens a cash payment for their share of the exploded national debt.

I'd take it.

[chelsea0011]

17. she's down there begging for it

[AlinPA]

22. What, no "thencks, but no thencks"?

[Beacool]

23. I don't see anything wrong with that.

After all, she IS the governor of Alaska. There's plenty to criticize about Palin, but this is not one of those times.

:shrug:

On edit, I should have read all the comments before responding.

Bad DUers, bad!!!!!!

:spank:



:evilgrin:

[merh]

24. it's called hypocrisy

[Beacool]

26. It's call campaign B.S.

Everyone did it, standard MO........

:eyes:

[merh]

33. Hypocrisy is hypocrisy, even in politics.

That you accept her hypocrisy as simply politics makes your "political know how" as faulty as your "pro-women" stance. To support a woman simply because she is a candidate or holds office harms the efforts of qualified women. She sets a bad example.

I want women to hold political office, not because they are women, but because they are qualified human beings. Palin is not qualified and she is a liar and a fraud. Your defense of her makes your support of women to be as faulty as her "small government" stance is hypocritical, imho.

now go be an adult and find another emoticon to use that supports your position.

[Beacool]

36. Well, since my undergrad degree is in Political Science, I beg to differ.

I don't agree with Palin's positions on about every issue, but she was no more hypocritical than anyone else running for office. Politics is a game, she just wasn't very good at playing it.

Having said that, Palin was definitely not qualified to be VP. It's mystifying why McCain did not pick a more suitable woman. There are plenty of Republican female politicians who would have been a better choice.

BTW, trying to be objective while judging people is part of being an adult.

;-)

[asdjrocky]

25. I think there are more than a few around here who would like stimulus form our Presidents er, packag

[Blue_In_AK]

28. She was pressured to..

People didn't like the fact that she was trying to sell the state short, especially given our revenue picture. Please read The Mudflats' take here: http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Blue_In_AK/50

[underpants]

30. Thanks for the local knowledge

Sarah wasn't forced to go to the Alfalfa Club meeting though
see post #4

[Blue_In_AK]

31. No, she wasn't.

And, again, she's getting slammed hard about that, too, also.

[underpants]

32. Ha!

good

[Blue_In_AK]

34. Underpants, for an excellent overview

of what's gone on here over the past couple of weeks, check this out. http://progressivealaska.blogspot.com/2009/01/pas-friday-oxdown-gazette-post.html

Sarah's under a microscope. Also note that the Dems are losing patience with her on her withheld e-mails. http://www.adn.com/news/politics/story/674118.html

[Life Long Dem]

29. I have them LIVE on CSPAN

Palin is asking for... asking for...his package....i believe...

[AtomicKitten]

35. The GOP governors should take it up with the GOP congressional obstructionists.

btw great thread title :hi:

[underpants]

37. That appears to be happening

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=3716562&mesg_id=3716562

thanks

[AtomicKitten]

41. The GOP's convoluted position on this is rather delicious.

The GOP's crappy stewardship of the economy has downgraded their predisposition to obstruct the new Democratic president. Priceless!

Thanks for the link.

[Hippo_Tron]

38. She should take it up with Joe Biden

After all, the Vice President is in charge of the Senate and is responsible for making these sorts of decisions.

:evilgrin:

[jenmito]

39. She's "Pailin" around with "terrorist sympathizers" while running with the "Washington herd" & elite

[and-justice-for-all]

40. Hypocite!! fuckin' bitch...nt

[AnnieBW]

43. Once you go Barack

You never go back!

[SKKY]

45. Um, ok. Todd just not taking care of things at home?

[LynnTheDem]

46. Say it ain't so, Sarah! Taking money from a TERRORIST-PAL???!

That's a lot more than Obama ever did from Ayers.






:rofl:

Rightwingnuts; stupidest MFers ever.

[southern_dem]

47. Whatever happened to

rugged individualism? We don't need anything from "the lower 48"! We're rich from oil! Just to paraphrase a few Palinisms....

[mwei924]

48. Uh oh.. dirty mind at work!

Honestly, that is one of the most hilarious headings.

[Vektor]

49. I'm sure she does. Hence all her bitter, thinly veiled racism during the campaign.

She was struggling against the self loathing and shame she felt for fantasizing about "going black."

[Cleita]

50. Does she want another Neiman Marcus shopping spree, one which she'll be

able to keep the clothes this time?

[CreekDog]

51. The content was kind of anticlimactic after reading the title

:boring:

[Hutzpa]

52. Didn't she say "Thanks, but no Thanks"

I'm I missing something??? :shrug:

She can't handle his package, too heavy
for her....:evilgrin:
