why? idk why.. only reason i can think of is that they lost and they need someone(low on the totem poll) to blame, thoughts?
i wouldnt blame her at all if i was on yalls side....
"There is no point in looking fast if your not."
A lot of Republicans hated her. Let's face it, she presented herself to the public as a pig-ignorant redneck with catchy sayings AND she had no experience. Sure, she was a spitfire and she worked hard, but nobody wants Erin Brockovich as Vice President.
they took a Governor with limited knowledge of Washington policy and expected her to hold her own when discussing said policy. Not really a realistic expectation IMO. I expect over the next few years for her to hone her knowledge and fully expect her to reassert herself in Washington with far more success next time. It's not that she's stupid, it's just that she's uneducated on the issues that she needed to compete with people who had been involved with them for years.
Our government should work as a team and the smartest person on a team isn't always the most valuable.
She did seem to be the brains behind the Hope Diamond theft, though.
You really wanna know?...
Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in
America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the
country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along,
whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist
dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the
leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and
denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the
same in any country. - Hermann Goring

I would agree this is a big part of it. Either way I don't blame her. The deck was stacked against McCain in many ways and at times he was his own worst enemy.
FORGET GIRLS GONE WILD WE HAVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING GONE WILD!
Every one that hates her so much, somewhere in the back of there mind, wants to hit it.
Just say'n

"An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle sir, is not of the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death."

That is quite out of date(probably what I put there when I first joined JBO over 5 years ago) and dare I say a bit sarcastic. I don't even have that car anymore - but I am still a fan of function over form in terms of automobiles. I did plenty of work to it, turbocharged it, etc - yet never bothered fixing the body damage. All the better than no one knew what they where next too. Of course my current car is alot faster still, but I do miss the economy and the shock value of people first looking at my car and making judgments accordingly, then seeing what it could actually do
I <3 sleepers.
I got some obscene millage out of that car considering how I drove it all the time and such. It still ran the day I scraped it.
