Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: to be president
A candidate's announcement that he or she practiced TM, specifically, would tend to be a negative to the religious right and evangelicals generally. That's a very significant voting bloc in this country. The science-oriented among the millennials would likely be skeptical of a meditation practice associated with woo-woo like Yogic Flying or claiming widespread positive results from meditating in a group. BTW, if I were you, I wouldn't paint large groups of religious people as "rabid." Really doesn't look good coming from you. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : On the way to the White House the identification of voter blocs becomes key to the work.

for a transgender as president, although a woman president is a near
possibility.
Due to the weakness of her jyotish chart, I don't think Hillary Clinton can win
the presidency as seen from the political problems surrounding her involvement
with the Benghazi affair. And the Republicans will aggressively keep the
negative spin on her, knowing that she is the strongest candidate the Democrats
have for the next election.
But are the Republicans ready to name a woman as their presidential nominee for
the next general election?

How anyone can perceive Palin as presidential material is incomprehensible. This is not just because I tend to vote democratic. There are plenty of capable republican women out there who would make perfectly fine presidents. I might disagree with their politics, but they are not intellectually incurious with a very poor fund of information and verbally challenged. This woman-and not because she is a woman-is an absolute disgrace to the republican party. What the hell was Bill Kristol thinking when he suggested her to McCain? To even remotely believe that somehow she will run for president in 2012 is ridiculous. Why would the RNC support such a political fool? They won't. That's what they said about Reagan. Hell, they were saying that about him when he was governor of California back in the '60s. Even I know that and I grew up in Quebec and heard all about it and heard the snickering and the stereotypes heaped upon him. Palin is a hero to the conservative base. Let's see what the future brings. I'd really be shocked if the conservative base supported her. Shocked and disappointed. What's happening to her now is really awful with the anonymous attacks. I hope she doesn't do a tit-for-tat with Van Sustern on Monday.That would be a bloodbath.

I certainly do...and I can't think of anyone I'd want as president more than her. Take a look at the poll results below. - Rasmussen Reports, in a new poll published Friday, has some interesting data on how Republicans still have overwhelming positive feelings about Palin: Ninety-one percent (91%) of Republicans have a favorable view of Palin, including 65% who say their view is Very Favorable. Only eight percent (8%) have an unfavorable view of her, including three percent (3%) Very Unfavorable. When asked to choose among some of the GOP's top names for their choice for the party's 2012 presidential nominee, 64% say Palin. The next closest contenders are two former governors and unsuccessful challengers for the presidential nomination this year -- Mike Huckabee of Arkansas with 12% support and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts with 11%. Three other sitting governors - Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Charlie Crist of Florida and Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota - all pull low single- digit support. All Obama has to do is turn some things around and no one will vote for a Republican for a long time (if ever, more likely it will splinter off into other parties). As it is they would be foolish to run Palin. She should have stuck to being a news anchor. The era of electing someone you can have a beer with is over. It was one of the darkest, if not the darkest, era in American history and the public will be paying for it for a long time. All you have to do is show why they are paying for it. Game over. I wouldn't write off the Republicans just yet, Bhairitu...Obama isn't even president yet. A whole lot of things can happen in 4 years. To think that America is anything but a right-of-center country would be a mistake. Obama is the first Democrat to garner more than 50% of the popular vote since Jimmy Carter in '76 (and he only got 50.1% of the vote). Obama's margin of victory -- 6.5% -- was hardly a landslide...nor was his margin in the electoral college a landslide. But if he governs the country satisfactorily in the bi-partisan manner he has pledged to and he follows through on his election promises, he has a chance at a second term. His appointment of the Zionist Rahm Emanuel bodes well for the future in my estimation. But I would wait at least a year or two and see how things unfold before you start writing off a party that has occupied the White House for 28 of the last 40 years. Sure, run Palin for President in 2012 and Obama will have a second term easy. But I also think there is going to be some fallout among Republicans over the this last election and that may lead to some new parties. A lot of us would like to see some election reform. This last campaign went on far too long doncha think? Let's cut this nonsense down to a few months. Let's add instant runoff voting and open up to more parties.

In modern English http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language usage, the terms idiot and idiocy describe an extreme folly or stupidity, and its symptoms (foolish or stupid utterance or deed). In psychology, it is a historical term for the state or condition now called profound mental retardation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profound_mental_retardation .[8] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiot#cite_note-7 I'd say that only the part marked in bold pertains to you, who think global warming is bogus and Al Gore has done humanity a terrible disservice, DDT was benign and Rachael Carson did humanity a terrible disservice, and now, that Sarah Palin would be your ideal pick as president. Bad judgment galore. That is why I expect you to be able to answer my previous post to you in which I ask you -- for the second time, mind you -- to tell us which numerous serious challenges Obama handled simultaneously during the election. A presidential campaign is, by definition, a series of serious challenges, and Obama met them more effectively than did any other candidate, so he won. Compare him with Palin by any criteria relevant to the presidency and he is vastly superior.
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Palin for president
Shemp, you remind me of my mildly psychotic patients. I can't take anything you say seriously. How anyone can perceive Palin as presidential material is incomprehensible. This is not just because I tend to vote democratic. There are plenty of capable republican women out there who would make perfectly fine presidents. I might disagree with their politics, but they are not intellectually incurious with a very poor fund of information and verbally challenged. This woman-and not because she is a woman-is an absolute disgrace to the republican party. What the hell was Bill Kristol thinking when he suggested her to McCain? To even remotely believe that somehow she will run for president in 2012 is ridiculous. Why would the RNC support such a political fool? They won't. --- On Sat, 11/8/08, shempmcgurk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: shempmcgurk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Palin for president To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, November 8, 2008, 11:18 PM --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of shempmcgurk Sent: Saturday, November 08, 2008 5:54 PM To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Palin for president --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife%40yahoogroups.com , Rick Archer rick@ wrote: From: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife%40yahoogroups.com [mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife%40yahoogroups.com ] On Behalf Of shempmcgurk Sent: Saturday, November 08, 2008 1:03 PM To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife% 40yahoogroups.com Subject: [FairfieldLife] Palin for president Despite all the cat-calling and all the claims that she is an idiot, no one seems to get that conservatives love Sarah Palin.

That is why I expect you to be able to answer my previous post to you in which I ask you -- for the second time, mind you -- to tell us which numerous serious challenges Obama handled simultaneously during the election. A presidential campaign is, by definition, a series of serious challenges, ...and yet you can't name even one? Despite there having been a series of challenges. Okay. and Obama met them more effectively than did any other candidate, so he won. One might say that the country was so opposed to Bush and the Republicans that -- and we've heard this expression countless times by the political pundits -- this was the Democrats' year. Yet Obama only prevailed by a 6.5% margin...hardly a landslide...against a 72- year-old who supported Bush 90% of the time. More effectively? Gosh, one would have thought he would have won by a 20 point margin, at least. Compare him with Palin by any criteria relevant to the presidency and he is vastly superior. I won't do that because we spent the last 6 weeks on this forum doing exactly that. To rehash it would be a waste of time
