I'll just start making posts like this one: He can say that if he wants, there's no rules against that. People have made worse/less substantive posts.

lostfan Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 There was nothing "wrong" per se but both of you are toeing the line like I said (it looks a whole lot like subtle mocking). I just want to derail that path before it gets there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I was the target of that post and I didn't find it offensive. I used 7 asterisks to describe Obama. I could have been saying he was an analyst for all anybody knows. I didn't type out the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were just gonna call him an analyst though, you'd just go ahead and write that much without the **'s though right? Although I haven't really heard anyone call Obama an analyst before.

lostfan Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) In the current direction this thread is (or was) going, which of the following apply or do not apply? 1. I will not insult other posters, directly or indirectly 2. I will not threaten anyone, even in jest 3. I will not bait people or push them over the line (a.k.a. pushing their buttons) 4. I will not post statements for the purpose of angering others 5. I will not prod posters repeatedly on a subject or chase them across topics to make a point 6. I will try to make posts that actually add to the discussion at hand Obviously it's subjective but I know it when I see it. I let most things ride but sometimes I have to throw the flag. It doesn't mean I'm targeting anyone either. Everyone just smile and nod. Edited July 13, 2009 by lostfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 10:09 AM) My 1st post in the Buster in months ... but if my family had been raked over the coals like Palin's has I'd bail out too. She has her priorities right. Family first, career a distant second. I agree 100% with the first line - the treatment people in her position get would be very hard on a family. But I couldn't disagree more with your second line. Her behavior has made it abundantly clear she didn't do this for her family, as has been described previously. She loves the show, she created the circus act and begs the media to follow her on her family vacations. She wants what she is getting - lots of attention.

So far she's spent the time since her "Resignation" giving press interviews and using things like Facebook messages to bash the press and the have a verbal duel with her daughter's baby-daddy. I'd be more than happy to believe that she actually did this for her family...she just has to start acting like it. If she does, I'll be content to never think of her again.

BigSqwert Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'm just confused as to how quitting her job as Governor benefits her family if she continues to be in the spotlight by planning to speak at events, perform interviews, write books, etc. How is all of that going to give her family less attention?

It doesn't. That's my point. If she's doing this for her family, then as of say, August, she ought to be disappearing. No more Katie Couric rides on her husband's snowmobiles, no more appearances at big Republican events in the lower 48, no random appearances at local fish-fries in Iowa, no more "Sarah Palin calls Barack Obama a Commie-Nazi" reports on the evening news. If that happens, then I'll buy that her family just needed privacy and that's why she departed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 It would seem very plausible to me that she is taking a few weeks or even a month to clean up all the loose ends, then is hoping to fade back into the role of family. There does seem to be a transition time. Not saying I necessarily agree that is her intent, just saying that makes a whole lot of sense to me. There are questions to be asked and answered. Easier to answer than try to evade them. Tough to quit cold turkey. (whatever the hell that means) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
