Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

It may be a net gain, but the fact that she didn't complete her term as governor will probably be the first line of the first negative ad run against her in the 2012 republican primaries. I'll even bet that the ad is probably being made as we type. The question is if the attack will stick. Those types of attacks usually do.

Still, there is no denying that she has enemies that buy their ink by the barrel, and the best defense against that might be to do the same. There is also a natural education on the issues that comes along with the show prep necessary to be on the air.

There is the risk of overexposure, but the greater risk in politics is underexposure and most of the swing voters aren't going to be listening everyday to the stations that she is going to be on. She may realize that she can't go around the so- called 'media filter,' so she has to learn how to use it to her advantage.

I think the Senators are better qualified to assess that, even if they disagree with him.

Have you read any of his actual writings, or non-campaign speeches? It's too easy to take potshots at small mistakes, blunders, he's had plenty. So have many others. Shall we quote Bushisms, Gore-inanities? Clinton's argument over what IS, IS? Whatever.

Kindly point out how (even if you disagree) he's been stupid, uneducated, or ignorant in leading committees, writing law, or addressing the Senate, if you want to make a strong point. That he's a democrat isn't enough. That you disagree with his politics, isn't enough to make your point effectively.
Well excuuuuse me...I wasn't even talking to you. Just making a point. I know Joe very well...i've lived in Delaware for 12 years. And personally, I have no use for the man. Everyone knows the story about the "alledged" drunk truck driver that killed his wife and son.

You're parsing. So was she. If she meant that, she could have simply said that. What she DID say was non-specific. She QUIT.

You're injecting your opinion and its clouding your judgement and understanding...

Oblabla hasn't said anything specific since the campaign started...I've never heard more vague BS in my life..yet he got elected.

You don't give the enemy your plan of attack...

Now don't flame me for this letterman type joke but a guy can dream can't he. Maybe she's stepping down to work on a porn career!! Seriously though I hope it's to prepare for a run in 2012 or 16.

She quit.
That's not an opinion.
That she was parsing is not an opinion, it's politics.
That you were parsing is not an opinion, it's true.
That you don't give your enemy your plan of attack is good planning. I agree.
My judgment and understanding is not in the least clouded.
Again, it is assumed that I am anti-Palin, or a liberal. I have said before. I am an American, and I'm curious about what's going on there.
Do you critically listen to, and perhaps question what you hear, when it is coming from people you agree with, or only when it comes from those you don't agree with?

I'd say that the bills signed into law when signed by Obama are pretty specific. Wouldn't you?

FYI:
Parsing definition: "To examine closely or subject to detailed analysis, especially by breaking up into components" or "To make sense of; comprehend."
Parsing definition, as defined by Bill Clinton: (and in this case, Palin): in its more colloquial sense -- as in "It depends on what the [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. is." Or: it all depends on what the meaning of quit is.....

You say she quit...

I say she's moving to a better position (thats not quitting in my opinion)

How is it parsing??? Thats what I heard when I listened to what she said.

EDIT: Yes I question things I hear...when they seem suspicious. This doesn't seem suspicious to me.
