Reply #21: too bad Mika drank the kool aid on Palin. She can't be rational about it [View All]

[Hamlette]

she thinks every bad thing they say about Palin is a lie and Palin is a political genius. I never thought she was balance for the show (Joe Scarb) but she has progressively gotten crazier as the weeks go by. On Palin she is out right nuts.

Mika thinks Palin was unfairly treated because of her gender but what happens when you defend an idiot like Palin is that you, play into sexism. People think "Palin is an idiot and women support her even though she is an idiot so maybe all women are idiots."

Mika is MAKING IT WORSE AND PISSING ME OFF.


But Larry was a breath of fresh air. I wish someone would get the numbers right.



McCain NEVER went up 15 points. At most he went up about 7.

Buchanan claims it was the financial crisis that caused the GOP ticket to crater, not Palin but the financial crisis started September 15. By then McCain had lost all that he gained after the convention and it was the Charlie Gibson interview, plus the realization that Palin was a big fat liar (bridge to knowhere,) the media calling out McCain on his lies in the sex education ad which was the first time in history McCain had ever been called on his BS so it was a shocker, McCain went on the View and was called out on his lies and lied some more and McCain was called on saying Obama was rude for the lipstick on a pig comment. THAT is what happened before the financial crisis when his numbers really were going down. He'd basically back to where he started pre Palin when Lehman bros went belly up which was Sept 15, the date and the reason Pat thinks McCain lost the race. From there on, how can you possibly say it wasn't Palin? Coric, $200K wardrobe, calling us not "real Americans" etc, etc, etc.

It was a convention bounce, happens every time. I think the crash was more dramatic than usual because of Palin and McCain's handling of the financial crisis, not the crisis itself.

Buchanan should go the way of Kristol. Discredited forever.
