Because Sarah can sure as hell dish it out - would be rather sexist of her to not expect some comeback wouldn't it?

The PUMAs are just too small a group to have an impact - a loud voice on the net maybe, but few in number. Just look how many of you there are on this site - marginalised and irrelevant.

They don't buy the culture wars - and are trending ever more liberal. This is not a group that will ever be swung over to Palin in her current incarnation.

He failed a lie detector test. He has said many provably false things about his supposed relationship with Obama, and yet refused to disclose any personal details of Obama that could prove his claim, such as whether Obama is circumsized or not Why? Because he doesn't know. If you think he has any evidence - let's hear it. Unsubstantiated claims of a frankly ridiculous nature are not evidence. Rather, it turns out the whole exercise was just another of his cons to raise money for his legal fund. He has gone through several sets of lawyers, who all finish up abandoning him when they realise what a fantasist he is.

Are you usually this naive? Don't you understand you've been played? Just ask Larry to name one of his so called sources that actually "saw the tape" - he can't, it's all third hand rumour mongering. For goodness sake, if anything that explosive existed, you would know about it. As for Rev Wright - the electorate knows about it and decided they didn't care. Churches across the country are full of bigoted preachers - the voters are sophisticated enough to factor that in. When McCain/Palin started hitting on Ayers and other connections, all it did was rile up the base and turn off independents. The whitey and Nigerian tapes cannot be investigated – they don’t exist.

Glad to know you were a Hillary supporter, if your post is for real. How you got the idea that we are repub if we support Sarah Palin is odd - does it not make sense to you that the people here are about advancing the cause of women and rejecting disrespectful sexism - not just for liberal dems, but conservative repubs as well like Palin. If you are a party loyalist, this is not for you. Whether a person is pro-choice or pro-life is irrelevant for our purpose as well. nayak, this group is a very unlikely coalition of disaffected democrats unable to fall in line for BO due to principled reasons; conservative repubs, libertarians, some independents who were mostly ardent supporters of Hillary. More than anything else, this impressive group never missed a trick and has stedfastly sought the truth, eager to protect democracy, recognized the caucus fraud beginning in Iowa, railed at the charges of racism against the Clintons and the rest of us; the race-baiting, the DNC and dem leadership that turned a deaf ear and blind eye to thousands of reports of fraud in the caucuses, working behind the scenes for two plus years to clinch the nomination for BO while claiming to be 'neutral'. The cable outlets - MSNBC, CNN, later the 3 networks, NY Times, Newsweek, then NPR - NOT ONLY were ALL of these media outlets working for Obama, they were determined to defeat Hillary with the race-baiting, condescending cries of racism, unprecedented sexism, and total disrespect for women in general and Hillary in particular. If you do not 'get' or believe this part, you are missing the basic structure of NQ and the participants here. We are united in our view that the nomination was actually won by Hillary, but stolen by Obama with the enormous help of all of the above. If you disagree with this basic premise, you will encounter nothing but distain here with people who do not mind telling you - articulately. noproblama, you nailed it! nayak, obviously you are playing with half a deck or a stacked deck – take your choice.

McCain tried not to turn his campain ugly but forget to muzzle her.

Wow! TY for telling us all what you think about women!

she started the mud slinging and then cried foul play when it came right back at her!

I find it hard to believe in your respect for Hillary that you missed the most vile and cruel attacks on her and her family - from Obama supporters. Low information voters like you are the reason we're stuck with a low information president elect. Online much?
