Palin Goes After Obama at Tea Party Convention

FOXNews.com

Sarah Palin goes after the Democratic agenda at the National Tea Party Convention.




Feb. 6: Sarah Palin speaks at the first National Tea Party Convention.
The Democratic agenda is "running out of time," former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Saturday at the National Tea Party Convention, claiming that the conservative tea party movement is part of a brewing "revolution" that constitutes the "future of politics."

Palin, who delivered the keynote speech on the closing night of the three-day gathering of conservative activists, aligned herself squarely with the movement, frequently using the word "us" in describing it.

"This is the future of our country. The tea party movement is the future of politics," she said.

The former GOP vice presidential nominee pointed to the room full of activists, as well as the recent election of Republican Scott Brown to U.S. Senate from Massachusetts, as the sign of a political tide change.

"If Scott Brown is any indication, it’s running out of time," Palin said of the Democratic agenda.

"It’s a ground-up call to action that is forcing both parties to change the way they do business, and that’s beautiful."

Palin got an ecstatic response from the hundreds of tea party activists in the banquet hall in Nashville, where they had spent the last few days hashing out ways to grow the movement and defeat Democrats in the 2010 midterms. Though tea party groups have faced criticism for being disorganized and been cast occasionally as angry rebels without a cause, the former governor said the activists have started something that Washington must heed.

"America is ready for another revolution, and you are a part of this," Palin said.

The former governor used her speech to go after President Obama as well, hammering him for his economic, foreign and security policies.

She zeroed in on the Obama administration's handling of the alleged Christmas Day bomber.

Echoing wide-ranging complaints among Republicans that the administration should not have let suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab get "lawyered up," Palin said the administration is treating the incident like a "crime spree," rather than an act of war.

"Treating this like a mere law enforcement matter places our country at great risk," she said. "To win that war, we need a commander-in-chief, not a professor of law standing at the lectern."

Palin, in a pre-taped interview with "Fox News Sunday" earlier in Nashville, said the way Obama is approaching national security is causing an "uneasiness" among many Americans.

"We are in war," Palin said. "These are acts of war that these terrorists are committing. We need to treat them a little bit differently than an American who is worthy, an American being worthy of our U.S. constitutional rights. I don’t think the terrorists are worthy of our rights."

Palin, in her keynote address, also blasted the administration for "wasteful" stimulus spending, urged Congress to kill the latest stimulus-style proposal and said the last year has proved that the administration’s attempts to extend an open hand to hostile nations, like North Korea, has not worked.

"It’s no wonder that our president only spent about 9 percent of his State of the Union address discussing national security, foreign policy, because there aren’t a whole lot of victories he can talk about," she said.

Palin addressed the convention despite facing some controversy over the $100,000 speaking fee she was receiving and the fact that two other scheduled speakers, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., dropped out following ethics committee questions over how the convention profits would be used.

But Palin says she will not personally benefit from the engagement and that the speaking fee will go back to the "cause."

Was Palin reading notes off her hand?

UPDATE Oliver Willis (http://www.oliverwillis.com/2010/02/06/sarah-palin-caught-reading-her-speech-off-her-hand/) also caught Palin reading off of her hand. He points out that she made fun of President Obama during her speech for his use of a teleprompter.

[Jacob1983]

Sarah Palin needs to realize that being a MILF does not mean you can run for president or act like you're a wise politician. If she really cares about the future of the Republican Party, she will go away and stay out of the spotlight.
However, she seems to only care about herself and money. I will admit that she did look hot in that outfit. I saw a clip of the Q&A and she kept on rubbing one of her legs. I wonder if she was trying to give the guy with the mic a boner?

VINTAGE PALIN MOMENT: Sarah Palin Reads Answers off of Her Hand

Palin gave her $115,000.00 speech tonight to an audience of less than enthusiastic Tea Partiers. She appeared off of her game, delivering a rather flat speech, one that at least failed to inspire shouts of “kill him!” as her campaign rallies did. So there's that.

She managed to get part way through the speech before misspeaking and saying “Alaska” instead of “America”, but what do you expect from an AIP secessionist? What are you? Some kind of elitist? Surely Putin would know what she meant, were she in the office she was mantled for.

““Nations around the world “wonder if Alaska is still that beacon of hope.” Pauses, realizes she meant America, plunges on.” Roger Ebert live tweeting the speech.

She spent a while attempting to mock the Real President for using a teleprompter, which earned her derision and scorn even from her fans on twitter. Why, you ask, would a Palin fan not enjoy a good dash of mock and awe? Perhaps because Herself was reading off of notes for the entire speech….which only served to give us a gander at the odd poof of hair attached to her real hair. Not sure what's going on there-- maybe that's "Real America" hair?

But that wasn’t the low point. The Vintage Palin moment occurred when she sat down to answer questions, which apparently had been pre-screened. So, she had a chance to study up prior to this moment.

And yet, she actually consulted notes scrawled on her hand while fishing around for the answer. As in, a handprompter. Leave it to Sarah.

God forbid she have yet another “all of ‘em and any of ‘em” moment. I mean, when she dragged that out during the Beck interview, even Beck was disgusted.

Oh, Sarah. Thank you for the entertainment. I guess the next time meanie liberal elites like Katie Couric ask Palin what she reads, she can say, "My hand."

Hypocrite Sarah Palin ranting about Obama using a teleprompter? Free. Always free. You can see this on Fox.
Sarah Palin charging to talk about a “populist” movement of the Joe Six Packs? $115,000.00
Sarah Palin cheating during a pre-screened Q and A session? Priceless.

UPDATE: Feb 7, 2010 11:36

On Palin's PalmPrompter, "The words "Energy", "Tax" and "Lift American Spirits" are clearly visible."

One should note that she wrote "Budget" and slashed it out, replacing it with "Tax" for "Tax cuts". Which sort of implies that perhaps she doesn't understand the difference or relationship between tax cuts and budget cuts. But then, that's a common problem among "fiscal conservatives" these days. Unpaid for tax cuts which lead to a huge deficit that one can then blame on one's predecessor. Or, in Palin's case, one can just quit and dump those pesky problems in the lap of your previously never even cc'd on state email business Lt Gov. Quit and then get rich leading a movement of "small government" rebels. Oh, the bitter, Orwellian irony of it all.

Sarah Palin Aims to Bust Up the Republican Party -- And the Tea Party Movement

By Adele M. Stan, AlterNet
Posted on February 8, 2010, Printed on February 8, 2010
http://www.alternet.org/story/145577/


Sarah Palin appears to be running for president of the United States of America. You betcha.

In an interview with Chris Wallace (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/02/07/transcript-fox-news-sunday-interview-sarah-palin/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%253A+foxnews%252Fpolitics+%2528T ext+-+Politics%2529), recorded on the eve of her Saturday night special of a speech to the Tea Party Nation convention in Nashville (and aired yesterday on Fox News Sunday), Palin didn't quite confirm that speculation, but left the door wide open.

"Why wouldn't you run for president?" Wallace asked.
"I would," Palin replied. "I would if I believe that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family. Certainly, I would do so."

Palin's address to the Tea Partiers (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/07/us/politics/08palin.html) was standard for her: boilerplate in its arrangement of non sequiturs and cognitive disconnects.

( "religious" nutcases are not nothin if not totally irrational. It's part of their anti-intellectual anti-elitism. Stupid Is Beautiful. Right wingers like their leaders stupid (Same is true of right wingers in UK, origin of the famous "he's too smart by half")

She railed against the Obama administration for ostensibly violating the 10th Amendment to the Constitution -- the one that guarantees states' rights -- and then offered a health-care "fix" that violates that very amendment (allowing consumers to purchase policies across state lines, which basically intrudes upon the state's right to regulate the insurance industry within the state).

She charged the administration with trampling on the Constitution, while asserting that "foreign terrorists" arrested here aren't entitled to constitutional rights. (Uh, actually, the Constitution confers those rights on anyone in the U.S. justice system -- citizen or not.)

She stoked up the right's anti-intellectual animus by taking shots at President Obama's alleged elitism, and went after him for purportedly being soft on terrorism and dictators. All predictable, and a good move if you're planning to be the opposition candidate to the president's 2012 bid for re-election.

But during the question-and-answer session that followed with Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips, Palin departed from the chant of her familiar refrain to tacitly reveal her hand -- and not just the talking points scribbled on it (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stefan-sirucek/did-palin-use-crib-notes_b_452458.html) -- for the strategy she may use to clear her path to the presidency. That path-clearing seems to involve the sowing of discord, not just within the Republican Party, but within the Tea Party movment as well, along with a sprinkle of discord dust on the Democratic Party for good measure.

Palin took pre-selected questions from conference attendees that were submitted through the Tea Party Nation Web site, and read by Phillips.

In answer to one question, Palin noted with enthusiasm that many Tea Party activists are not registered Republicans -- just like the former first dude of Alaska.

"My husband -- he's not a registered Republican. He's probably more conservative than I am, " she told the convention.

Indeed, Todd Palin, for seven years was a member of the secessionist Alaska Independence Party (http://www.akip.org/faqs.html), which is the Alaska chapter (http://www.constitutionparty.com/view_states.php?state=AK) of the theocratic Constitution Party (http://www.themediaconsortium.com/reporting/2008/09/02/sarah-palins-party-loyalty/) founded by Howard Phillips (no relation to Judson Phillips), one of the architects of the religious right.

http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gifTP's membership in AIP created a bit of a problem for the McCain presidential campaign, and within the campaign, according to campaign aide Steve Schmidt, who had to battle Palin to keep her from denying that fact, which was easily verifiable by any enterprising reporter. Todd Palin left the party before his wife hit the campaign trail as McCain's running-mate, but maintained his independent voting status.

(Todd Palin made news again this week, when an investigation by NBC News (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35238034/ns/politics/) revealed e-mails that showed him deeply involved in the governance of the State of Alaska during his wife's truncated term as governor.)

Sarah Palin told the Tea Partiers that she supposed she owed an apology to the Republican Party for not being able to persuade her husband to join. Yet she spent the early part of her speech lauding the victory of Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, a Republican who won his seat with a lot of out-of-state help from Tea Partiers.

During her question-time at the convention -- she only took questions submitted in advance through the convention Web site -- Sarah Palin no doubt pleased the theocrats of her husband's former party when she would like to see leaders who were willing to "seek[ ] some divine intervention in this country" -- someone who wouldn't fear what the media would report when they "proclaim their dependence on our creator."

In her speech and during her question-and-answer session, Palin applauded the primary challenges that some Tea Party activists are launching for contested congressional and Senate seats in the 2010 election. "Contested primaries aren't civil war," she said in her speech. "They're democracy, and that's beautiful."

She hinted that she may campaign for some of those challengers. (In Arizona, however, she has angered some Tea Party activists by backing the candidacy of her former running mate instead of the Tea Party-backed challenger to Sen. McCain, former Rep. J.D. Hayworth.)

Yet for all cheerleading of the Tea Partiers, Palin seems just as poised to bust up their movement, and encouraged some light demolition within the Democratic Party, as well.

Despite strongly articulated qualms by some movement activists that the GOP was co-opting their movement, Palin told the audience that "the Republican Party would be really smart to start absorbing as much of the Tea Party movement as possible."

Of the Democrats, she said, "It's pretty cool to see some of these Blue Dog Democrats peekin' under the [Tea Party] tent."

It's tempting for progressives to dismiss Palin as a lightweight based on her well-demonstrated ignorance of -- well, a whole lot of things. But that doesn't mean she's not clever. That doesn't mean she's not up to something.

What Palin appears to be doing is adopting the old Howard Phillips strategy of sowing discord in all camps, in order to pick up the shards left behind, and build something of them.

In her interview with Chris Wallace, Palin cited a column by Pat Buchanan that assessed the scenarios by which Obama might win or lose in 2012. Buchanan almost became Phillips' candidate for his third party (then called the U.S. Taxpayers Party) in 1996; by threatening to walk the delegates he won in the presidential primary out of the GOP, he won Phyllis Schlafly and his sister, Bay Buchanan, control of the Republican Party Platform.

(You may recall that during the 2008 presidential campaign, Buchanan asserted that Palin had campaigned for him, but then walked it back when Palin denied it.)

Sarah Palin will never win a majority of America's votes, should she run for president. But she's probably betting that she could win a plurality if the major parties and the Tea Party movement are divided.

At one point, Judson Phillips said to Palin, "I can think of two words that scare liberals: 'President Palin'."

With that, the crowd broke into a spontaneous chant: "Run, Sarah, run!"

Be careful what you ask for, boutonsky. I hope she does continue to gather momentum. Her campaign will draw the nuttier social conservatives to her party like a magnet. Since the GOP leadership doesn't have the balls to cleanse the party of these idiots, it'll take an outside influence like Palin and the TeaParty to do it.
What will remain, I would hope, would be a party of fiscal and governmental conservatives. The GOP would gain quite a bit of strength were that to happen.
Of course, I do drink alot.

The new MA Senator didn't even run as or mention Republican.

Repugs have lower approval ratings that Dems, but they all suck.

The weirder and more extreme the Repugs jerkoffs become, the less chance they have of winning anything. Fox lies, as Roger Ailes (who really controls the Repugs), that there is a massive movement to the right. Ain't true.

After the US got a good dose of pitbull bitch in the Pres campaign, her approval ratings were down there with dubya. 25% approval ain't gonna mean shit, except to split the Repug vote.

You are confusing Republicans and Conservatives. They are almost becoming mutually exclusive terms. I hope the purge continues and I think Palin will really help facilitate that. If she co-opts the Republican Party then, she can have it. The members will no longer be of the classical conseravtive stripe, but rather, more of the Falwellian far right social conservatives.
Your example of Judd Gregg is an apt one. He ran under the Republican ticket. But, like most contemporary conservatives, doesn't truck with the Republican platform.

Depends entirely upon what's displayed upon the teleprompter, how the speaker makes use of it, if at all. I've given a few addresses where I've made notes then completely ignored them. Usually, not a good thing for me.:lol

Fact check: Palin’s flawed claims in Tea Party speech


By Sahil Kapur (http://rawstory.com/2009/author/sahil/)

Monday, February 8th, 2010 -- 12:13 pm



http://www.rawstory.com/images/new/palintea.jpg

WASHINGTON -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin lauded the virtues of the Constitution in her Tea Party Convention speech Saturday, but some of her claims appear markedly flawed. Reports over the weekend also challenged her account of recent history on national security and terrorism.

"The protections provided," Palin said, "we’re going to bestow them on a terrorist who hates our Constitution and wants to destroy our Constitution and our country? This makes no sense because we have a choice in how we’re going to deal with the terrorists."

But a 2008 Supreme Court ruling,Boumediene v. Bush (http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/06-1195.ZS.html), declared that alleged terrorists who aren't convicted of a crime -- irrespective of their citizenship -- have the constitutional right to have their case heard in federal court.
The case declared unconstitutional some of the Bush administration's decisions to strip rights from those who are designated enemy combatants by the Executive Branch.

Justice Anthony M. Kennedy said such actions fail to meet "the fundamental procedural protections of habeas corpus" guaranteed in the constitution, as the New York Times reported (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/13/washington/13scotus.html).

Referring to Christmas bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, Palin said "[T]here are questions we would have liked this foreign terrorist to answer because he lawyered up and invoked our U.S. Constitutional right to remain silent. Our U.S. Constitutional rights."

"He was questioned for only 50 minutes," she added. "We have a choice in how to do this. The choice was only question him for 50 minutes and then read his Miranda rights."

This too, appears to have been false.

Central to Palin's claim was that this approach is failing as Abdulmutallab has refused to cooperate with authorities. But an FBI official informed Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE61169J20100202) last week that "Abdulmutallab is talking and has been talking since last week providing useful, actionable and current intelligence that we've been actively following up on."

FBI director Robert Mueller added that "Abdulmutallab has provided valuable information" without being subject to harsh techniques, as the liberal watchdog Media Mattersfirst noted (http://mediamatters.org/research/201002070017).

"He has been cooperating for days," one Obama administration official last week told the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/03/us/03terror.html), which confirmed that authorities were extracting important information form the suspect.

In her speech, Palin said, "There are questions that we would have liked answered before he lawyered up, like where exactly were you trained and by whom. You are bragging about all these other terrorists just like you, who are they? When and where will they try to strike next?"

Reports reveal that such information has also been obtained by authorities despite not breaking the law. The Associated Press found (http://www.trivalleycentral.com/articles/2010/01/26/casa_grande_dispatch/national_headlines/doc4b5dbdd8c24dc741480258.txt) that FBI agents interrogated Abdulmutallab in a hospital for "about an hour" with the following result:
The suspect spoke openly, said one official, talking in detail about what he’d done and the planning that went into the attack. Other counterterrorism officials speaking on condition of anonymity said it was during this questioning that he admitted he had been trained and instructed in the plot by al-Qaida operatives in Yemen.
Newsweek's Michael Isikoff delivered the same news (http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/declassified/archive/2010/01/22/did-u-s-intel-officials-mislead-congress-about-christmas-day-bombing.aspx):
The agents learned a wealth of information from Abdulmutallab about his connections to Al Qaeda; who he met with in Yemen; where he got the bomb that was sewn into his underwear; and "who trained him in Yemen." Added another official: "We got a lot of leads."
Palin also accused Obama of "politicizing our security" in part by using the word "war" insufficiently. "New terms used like 'overseas contingency operation' instead of the word 'war.' That reflects a world view that is out of touch with the enemy that we face."

However, the Obama administration regularly uses the word "war." Following the Christmas Day bombing, the president declared publicly (http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/07/obama-review-revealed-significant-national-security-shortcomings/), "We are at war" -- clarifying, "we are at war with Al-Qaeda." In the State of the Union, the president reportedly said the word seven times (http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/01/obamas-sotu-clintonian-in-good-way.html).

Palin also appeared to suggest Obama's actions led to North Korea testing nuclear weapons.

"Our president spent a year reaching out to hostile regimes, writing personal letters to dangerous dictators and apologizing for America, and what do we have to show for that?" she said. "North Korea tested nuclear weapons and longer-range ballistic missiles."

But North Korea became recognized as a nuclear nation in October 2006, before Obama was elected president, when it tested its nuclear capabilities, as the New York Times points out (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/northkorea/nuclear_program/index.html).

why didn't you come out immediately and inform us about her redneck palm pilot?
Why don't you tell us what she said after looking at her palm?

If you're going to make something out of it, don't you think you should have all the facts?

you've got my opinion of her entirely wrong. i love her.

flaglot lol.I think it's more than a bit tacky to keep sharing details from WC's personal life to discredit him, when he pays out enough rope to outfit a whole gallows ship to hang him with on a daily basis...

[Winehole23]

WC did share his personal life online. By drawing attention to what he freely shared, you are taking advantage of one of WC's good character traits.

WC is open and confiding, personally.

Fact check: Palin’s flawed claims in Tea Party speech


By Sahil Kapur (http://rawstory.com/2009/author/sahil/)

Monday, February 8th, 2010 -- 12:13 pm

WASHINGTON -- Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin lauded the virtues of the Constitution in her Tea Party Convention speech Saturday, but some of her claims appear markedly flawed. Reports over the weekend also challenged her account of recent history on national security and terrorism.

"The protections provided," Palin said, "we’re going to bestow them on a terrorist who hates our Constitution and wants to destroy our Constitution and our country? This makes no sense because we have a choice in how we’re going to deal with the terrorists."

But a 2008 Supreme Court ruling,Boumediene v. Bush (http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/06-1195.ZS.html), declared that alleged terrorists who aren't convicted of a crime -- irrespective of their citizenship -- have the constitutional right to have their case heard in federal court.
The case declared unconstitutional some of the Bush administration's decisions to strip rights from those who are designated enemy combatants by the Executive Branch.

Justice Anthony M. Kennedy said such actions fail to meet "the fundamental procedural protections of habeas corpus" guaranteed in the constitution, as the New York Times reported (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/13/washington/13scotus.html).

Referring to Christmas bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, Palin said "[T]here are questions we would have liked this foreign terrorist to answer because he lawyered up and invoked our U.S. Constitutional right to remain silent. Our U.S. Constitutional rights."

"He was questioned for only 50 minutes," she added. "We have a choice in how to do this. The choice was only question him for 50 minutes and then read his Miranda rights."

This too, appears to have been false.

Central to Palin's claim was that this approach is failing as Abdulmutallab has refused to cooperate with authorities. But an FBI official informed Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE61169J20100202) last week that "Abdulmutallab is talking and has been talking since last week providing useful, actionable and current intelligence that we've been actively following up on."

She's a good liar according to jack

[clambake]

By drawing attention to what he freely shared, you are picking on one of WC's good character traits.

yep. its good to know who you're dealing with.

[Winehole23]

Even if you're right, it's not exactly sporting to keep taking WC down for what he has revealed about himself on this board, when it's so easy to beat his arguments, and the personal foibles you mention are not really germane to the conversation.

[clambake]

Even if you're right, it's not exactly sporting to keep taking WC down for what he has revealed about himself on this board, when it's so easy to beat his arguments, and the personal foibles you mention are not really germane to the conversation.

i think it should be directly related to the value of his opinion.

just an opinion.

[Winehole23]

For my own part, I'm content to see WC kick his own ass everyday.

He doesn't need very much help from this board discrediting what he says, and you remind us often enough of the personal history, ok?

[Winehole23]

Just an opinion.

[clambake]

i'm too weak to stop.

see.....i just revealed something about myself.

[Winehole23]

I understand the weakness, clambake. Believe me, it's one worth surmounting.

[DarrinS]

LMAO at all the petty remarks about Palin's notes on her hand.

And I'm not a Palin fan.

[Winehole23]

LMAO at all the petty remarks about Palin's notes on her hand.Higher praise would be pretty hard to imagine. You're the king of it here. :king

[DarrinS]

LOL at people comparing the notes on her hand to Obama's teleprompter.

[Winehole23]

Why don't you post another teleprompter for us? Surely you've got the link handy?

That "terrorist fist bump" comment was retarded. Kinda like the comments about Palin's hand notes.

[ChumpDumper]

Palin said enough stupid shit to not worry about the writing on the hand.

[ElNono]

So, can we declare the Tea Party movement dead already? Can we consider this a successful hijack?

[clambake]

I understand the weakness, clambake. Believe me, it's one worth surmounting.

you said it was a quality trait regarding wc.

not fair. personal foul......what is that, 10 or 15 yards?

[xrayzebra]

Palin said enough stupid shit to not worry about the writing on the hand.

At least she can write. And give a speech without TOTUS.

I would bet most of you dumbass dimm-0-craps thought the Colts
were going to win yesterday........like your leader.

Not doubt about it, anyone running for office should beg: Please don't
support me.........kiss of death!:downspin:

[Cry Havoc]

That "terrorist fist bump" comment was retarded. Kinda like the comments about Palin's hand notes.

I see what you did there.

[Wild Cobra]

Hmmm....

All this time passed, and I haven't seen anyone making fun of Palin's method of notes, show they understand what she looked at her palm to say.

Typical...

Liberals making fun of the things their masters tell them to make fun of.

How about it...

Any of you making fun of her notes, know what she said after looking at her palm?

I do, and I think it is so moronic to make fun of her for it.

[Wild Cobra]

I would bet most of you dumbass dimm-0-craps thought the Colts
were going to win yesterday........like your leader.

OMG...

You think maybe that's why they lost?

[Winehole23]

you said it was a quality trait regarding wc.

not fair. personal foul......what is that, 10 or 15 yards?Texas Lawn Croquet. Game is played beverage in hand, drinking is enforced for rules violations.

Tardy? Drink. Miss your turn? Drink for not paying attention.

Out of turn? Pound a fully, lose your turn.

Drink for coaching, drink for bitching. Interfere with another ball or touch any wicket or stake with your mallet, lose your turn, replace your ball, pound a fully and refill your vessel promptly.

If one ball strikes another for any reason, players may shout SOCIAL! an invitation to common drinking. Participation is strictly optional, but strongly encouraged.

First things last: Addressing the ball without a beverage in hand is amerceable by drinking; striking the ball without a beverage in hand is punished by a pounding a fully, plus loss of turn.

So the teleprompter crap was just retarded criticisms from the oabam haters?

[Winehole23]

I'll take the drink for bitching, clambake. :lol

[Winehole23]

(drinks leftover DeKoninck)

[Winehole23]

There is no referee in Texas Lawn Croquet. All the players are referees.

[Winehole23]

Drink for not drinking!

[DarrinS]

So the teleprompter crap was just retarded criticisms from the oabam haters?



Have you ever seen someone give a PowerPoint presentation where all they do is read each and every slide?

hmmm...playing a game WHILE drinking. i gotta try that.

I don't remember that. I thought he had a flight suit on and
all he said was: "mission accomplished"

Well that is what the dimm-o-craps said........

[EVAY]

I remember WISHING that Bush had used a teleprompter on more occasions than he did. That man could fracture the English language like no politician before or since until...Palin's addiction to run-on sentences.

[ChumpDumper]

At least she can write. And give a speech without TOTUS.Yes, that's important. The most important issue of all time according to you.


I would bet most of you dumbass dimm-0-craps thought the Colts
were going to win yesterday........like your leader.I bet you did too. I didn't care enough to make a prediction.


Not doubt about it, anyone running for office should beg: Please don't

Understood.

I don't quite understand the insecurity that is reassured by writing seven words on the palm of your hand, but that's me.

[Wild Cobra]

I don't quite understand the insecurity that is reassured by writing seven words on the palm of your hand, but that's me.
I wouldn't call it an insecurity, rather a note of what to try to interject into a question. I don't know about you, but I get nervous, and forget the simplest of things on the spotlight at times.

Why is this so controversial? I don't get it, other than a extremely weak reason to poke fun of her.

All I see are grade school bullies here. Can we move on to something more mature?

[Marcus Bryant]

I guess Andrea Mitchell can extol the virtues of getting boned by Greenspan before the rest of us did. If there was ever a posterchild for the big govt-big business-big media menage a trois 'tis her.
