A quick search comes up with the following sources of blame on behalf of Sarah Palin for her election loss:

1. George Bush and his policies
2. Hollywood
3. Liberalism
4. Socialists
5. Tina Fey
6. the rest of SNL cast
7. Tricky and dishonest questions
8. her own handlers
9. the media
10. sexism
11. regionalism
12. elitism
13. liberal bloggers
14. John McCain
15. other Republicans
16. the economy
17. the Hispanic vote
18. the Republican R by her name
19. anti-incumbency sentiment
20. money
21. misinformation

I am sure that there are others I could not find.

You just "magically" came up with this list? I love how you demand sources for everything, SF, but never provide them yourself. Hypocracy is a noble liberal value.

There were many reasons for how the election turned out. Many people have asked Palin her opinion on it. Are you suggesting she never comment on the election?

This whole discussion is once again a character assassination, with no basis in reality whatsoever.

It was easy. I just googled
Palin blames for election loss
Palin points finger at for election loss
Palin says we lost election because
Palin criticizes for loss
WHy Palin lost election


and I got each and every one of those. It was easy since in almost every article she cites far more than just one person or thing to blame.

so you "magically" came up with this list to try to ridicule her...

And the many different factors that go into elections... can't have resulted in the outcome being different...

It's good you're here to show us how very very bad it is to comment on elections... :roll:

Do you need any more?

There are plenty more links for you.

I am always happy to provide information for a fellow board member.

None of those links have the list your posted. You made up the list, and you did so in a fashion to make Palin look bad. It is is not an analysis of her opinion on the election, it is an out of context truncated sampling of news articles where she discussed the election.

It is meaningless gibberish, and as I said, simply an attempt at character assassination.

NO
NO
NO HAL

You have to do the same search that I did with all the google phrases provided. You will get hundreds of articles. Not a single one of them has the list. You have to do the detective work and put the list together just like I did through all the various links. I previously explained that to you.

The ones that I posted as a courtesy to you contain some of the items on that list. Think of it as a First Grade teacher showing you how to add one plus one to get two and now its up to you to apply the concept to the other numbers as well.

Its okay. I know you do not like to use links or use searches to actually doument facts since you have publicly stated that your own observations are enough to validate your beliefs as facts.

She put herself in that spotlight. Cry us a river, call it de Nile.

Yes, and listing out things out of context, without regard to what was actually said, is intellectually dishonest, and an attempt to make Palin look stupid and childish.

You believe that, why not just admit that's your goal?

Sarah Palin does not need my or anyones help to look stupid. She does a completely awesome job of that all by herself.

Not really, no. In fact just the opposite.

The American people already spoke loudly on that issue in November.

Right, because the media was SO bad, that even a well informed individual such as yourself seem to think the election was Obama vs. Palin...

A loser is a loser is a loser. There is no other way to cut it. Several polls all indicated that one of the main reasons people voted against McCain was they felt Palin was NOT qualified to be President.

She may have energized the rabid base but she turned off nearly everyone else.

I dearly hope she runs in four years. Please please please God - tell her to run like she expects to hear.

So now YOU have an opinion on the election results. Have YOU ever run on a ticket for president of the United States? As you know, the only way to be qualified to have an opinion is to have worked the job you're commenting on. Palin has, have you? You ridicule her opinion, but feel yours is valid?

I am copying this from the other thread just to make sure you guys are fully aware of it:

Enough already.

People do not want to read this.

Let me see if I got this straight. You want us to stop you from arguing?

How about you stop you from arguing? Nobody is forcing you to engage in this and if I have to step in to stop this from continuing my options are limited. The board has tried to stop this silliness for quite a long time now and pretty much everyone is beyond fed up. If you guys can't police yourselves and the rangers are forced to step in, the result will be your own forum where you can tear each other limb from limb and leave everyone else in peace.

I am going to say this to you guys one last time;

Speak to the topic
Further the discussion
Stop the insults
Stop taking over every thread with the endless back and forth petty bitching
Stop being so selfish and thinking only of yourselves
Consider the rest of the board

This applies to all threads and all forums.

One last time;
disengage !!

You know, this entire thread has degenerated into bickering and bad feelings and really, it started as further beating of a dead horse. I split off the makings of an interesting discussion on Obama's Cabinet. I'm going to lock this.
