Are you going to tell us with a straight face that you've never heard anyone say that Palin acts as thoguh she has more allegiance to Alaska than the rest of the US? How she would always refer to herself as an Alaskan?Originally Posted by NIKV69
Not that I necessarily agreee with it, but I'd have a tough time believing that this is the first time you're hearing that. Which makes me think that you're looking to start a debate, as per your track record.

**** you Phil, Christ no I never heard that stupidity probably due to the fact it is assinine. Looking to start to a debate? I must keep forgetting that trying to discuss anything is pointless here since if you don't agree with the fraternity you are wrong and just trying to stir ****.

First, you clearly misunderstood my tone. It wasn't a stab, but an honest question and some fun-poking over whether or not you had heard that...you're not dumb and are generally up-to-date on the news, so I would honestly be surprised if you never heard that about Palin. If you are a pessimist, I can see why you'd take it that way, but imagine me saying those words over dinner last week....it would be with a playful smirk as we tossed back a beer. Your attitude, much less your "f-you"....unnecessary and over the top.
You have this e-bipolar disorder where you are cool with everyone in person, but a complete dip online because you're protected by your kevlar Samsung monitor. Everyone here knows you'd never speak to me like that in person. Every single person.
Nick, YOU are the one that disagrees with anything others say to ignite trouble. EVERY time. I know that if I pasted a post of yours from two years ago in a new thread under my name, you'd argue with yourself! If I said Golf, and Maximas were awesome, I'm sure you'd disagree with that, too.
You act as though we have some hidden agenda where some trilateral commission is against select people and have some treehouse with some secret goal with a political agenda and massive circle jerks or something. WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS YOU F-ING MORON!!!!!!! Or at least, I thought that for some deranged reason.

If you're going to think that we all have it out for you no matter how much we try to be raise glasses together, then let us know and we'll stop wasting our time. Seriously. I've said this more than once in the past, and you won't actually say anything in response. You ignored what was said in the other thread in regards to this, which shows that you have no interest in the friendship that some of us have offered to you.
If you hate it so much here, then why stick around? Stop fooling us when we hang out. You complain so much, but keep coming. Seriously, why? Pick one. Get over it, act your age, move on, just do something. Your whining is so old and the beer is getting warm.

Wow. 8)
OK, so Phil hit the nail on the head, thereby cleafiying what I stated. I never listened to the media attack on Palin. Just ask my wife, I gave her time to sell herself. One major problem I have always seen is that in all her interviews, she identifies herself as an Alaskan, not an American, to the point that its a sore point IMHO. I never heard McCain self reference himself as an Arizonian, Obama as an Illinioan(sp?), etc, etc. As such, I think she is best suited to run Alaska.
Nick, as to your quote "Christ no I never heard that stupidity probably due to the fact it is assinine," it is surely no more assinine than an argument I heard recently that Obama is not black, but biracial.
Lastly, your response below is sad.

Once again, there is a difference between McCain & Obama, to Palin, Palin was the Governor of Alaska & her work dealt with the well-being of Alaska.
When then Gov. Bush ran for President, he called himself a Texan. When then Gov. Clinton ran for President, he always talked up his Arkansas roots.....
As for interviews, Gov. Palin talked about how she was from Alaska and constantly said that she was an American. Palin also connected as to what Alaska was doing to help the country, I believe her favorite quote was how Alaska was there to help the lower 48 with supplying energy......

Mike, perhaps I'm too young to remember, but I don't recall the overkill talk of roots in those past candidates. And as for interviews, in all the interviews I saw, and believe me, I watched a lot of them, I never heard her consider herself an American.
Now, that might be because she was so busy saying "Alaskan" that maybe once in a while you heard an "American" in her talks. And maybe she did slip in an "American" a few times but no where as much as "Alaskan." What she may have tried to convey and what comes across were entirely different. And I tried to give her a chance.
Mike, it is just something I noticed, however "assinine" it may seem.
Don't you just love it?
Now Nick remarks about my stupidity and assinine"ness"....I never heard that stupidity probably due to the fact it is assinine

Depends on the candidate, President Bill Clinton talked about his roots as his opponents tried to attack him that he was the Governor of a small state (sounds familar) & he responsed in kind that he did the same job as the Gov. from a larger State such as balancing a budget, controlling the national guard, etc.
Bill Clinton always referred to his roots, as he was touting his leadership experience, which was his tenure as a Governor.
Though my memory is fuzzy, President Carter always talked of his roots......

Mike, I see your point, but I don't recall Clinton ending every couple of sentences with "...that's what it's like being a good Arkansasianianian," or whatever they call themselves.
There's a difference between referring to the work in your state, and speaking as though you're priority lies with your state and not your country. The same way people were concerned about JFK being the first Roman Catholic President, thinking that his allegiance was with the Pope more so than the US.
I like Palin, but I have to admit her mentioned Alaska the way she did...kinda made her feel like she wasn't with ME, now that I think back. It made it tough to identify with her. Not saying she did feel that way, but just what was given off. I can see it.

Phil
I will do you one better, during the campaign, I was annoyed by:
McCain referring to everybody as his friend
Obama talking about change
Palin talking the lower 48, as if the United States was an extension of Alaska.
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually,
run out of other people’s money.” - Margaret Thatcher
So then Mike, perhaps we can both agree on one thing here....we both may have fuzzy memories :)
But if Phil saw in Palin, what I did, then it's not unreal. While she may have identified with some women, I feel the overly abundant mentioning of "alaskan" made if very difficult to identify with her as opposed to other candidates.
Actually, Mike, as you said just now, Obama's Change, McCain's My friends were as annoying.
But I think you are actually picking up a bit of what I mean with Palin when she refers to the states as the lower 48 (technically its lower 49, isnt it)....in that she unnecessarily distanced herself and that is just another way she did it.
If she takes the right steps now, I think she'll be a viable future candidate.
And I, I took the path less traveled by
and that has made all the difference......yet...

Well it would be the lower 48 & the one to the side! :lol: :mrgreen:

Actually, Airman, doesn't Alaska sit almost due north of Hawaii on a map? I may be wrong.
Hate to be a stickler for accuracy here, but it may be the lower one and the lower right 48!

Agreed, although the 'change' one isn't so bad, as that was his campaign's slogan. "Friend", "Alaska" and such are just annoying.

Off topic somewhat, even though I voted for Obama it seems the GOP'ers have a much better sense of humor than Dems.
Spotters have been Homeland Security before HS was a glimmer in the president's eye.
