And won't look like a victim while it's happening. That is all.

1. I'm going for "Let Joe Biden deal with her"
It's his job.

2. Nope-- it will not happen. Palin will fester. Do not be an attack dog, but
anytime she opens her mouth, be ready. Point out the lack of ability.

Why give Palin any quarter? Any calls for "victimization" should be met with "Why are you being sexist?"

10. "If we leave Palin alone..." Sounds like not responding ....
Maybe the original sentiment could have been made clearer.

Palin, by no means, should be left alone. She should feel the heat of the magnifying glass upon her just like any other candidate.

11. Sorry. Didn't make it clear enough.
I meant the personal stuff. By all means, ask her to be specific about policy and let her drown herself.

3. I thought it would happen to George Bush, though.
He survived all KINDS of things that should have ruined him.

Sometimes I think it's all just a script.

4. I wasn't aware "We" were the media. I'll let Biden deal with her.

5. I'm over it, but I don't think it's her kid
Edited on Sun Aug-31-08 07:08 PM by GrizzlyMan
The problem with the baby gate issue is if she's confronted with it, she'll obviously deny it. Then what? Does anyone think she'll agree to a DNA test, and even if she did, who could vouch for the authenticity of the test? She'd simply use the same good ol boy tactics she used to conceal it in the first place, while playing the victim card to the hilt. The right wing MSM will sell it to the sheeple...sexist Obama campaign smearing mooseburger eating hockey mom.

Don't be mistaken, I think it's her daughter's kid. But at the same time, I know she would be on her turf when trying to cover it up and in a state that has a rich history of corruption it wouldn't be hard to come up with enough dead ends for the press covering the story to make them want to give up in light of what would likely be a substantial and nasty outcry from Repugs.

Let the moron hang herself.

9. Exactly.
There are better ways to do this. Ask her policy or national security specifics and let her implode.

7. She needs to be put on the spot
to explain her ideas and her beliefs.

That should do it.

8. Yes - that's the best way to deal with evil - to leave it alone. That always works.

12. I'll leave her alone but I want to know all
the facts there are in her record so I speak to it intelligently when people come up at my place of work and ask me what I think of mccain's pick..as they already have on Saturday. I know so much more now thanks to TMP, Kos, DU, Truthout, buzzflash, ect on the invaluble Internet.
