In 100 years they'll look at these and say "Oh, I didn't know she also ran for vice president".

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

It's pretty funny that the notion of dumping Palin was a fabrication of the leftists, which only the left thinks was ever really on the table, and now you try to make a point that it won't happen after all. :lol:

Once again your reading comprehension fails you -- unless you can show me a quote of Parker saying that McCain was considering dumping Palin.

As usual, you're wrong.

It was an idea that Kathleen Parker put out there. Therefore, it wasn't a fabrication of the leftists ... it was an idea of Kathleen Parker's. Your statement did not mention McCain one way or the other ... it simply said that it was a fabrication of the leftists. Since it was Kathleen Parker's idea, that is patently untrue.

Unless Kathleen Parker is the leftist you are talking about. And Kathleen Parker may be many things, but she's no leftist.

Reading comprehension ... you should try it. It could make a difference in your life.

You are wrong Quirt, but I won't expect you to admit it. What Parker wrote was
Quote:
 
What to do?

McCain can’t repudiate his choice for running mate. He not only risks the wrath of the GOP’s unforgiving base, but he invites others to second-guess his executive decision-making ability. Barack Obama faces the same problem with Biden.

Only Palin can save McCain, her party, and the country she loves. She can bow out for personal reasons, perhaps because she wants to spend more time with her newborn. No one would criticize a mother who puts her family first.


She did not suggest that McCain dump Palin. She did suggest that Palin recuse herself.

Again, I won't expect you to admit it, but I'd be happy to see quotes by Parker where she suggests that McCain was considering dumping Palin. I doubt you can find them, but I am pretty sure you will spend time trying to find one rather than admit you were wrong.

(and of course, it should be a given that it would be McCain's call to dump Palin -- I can see you playing that game).

And of course you are also wrong that the notion of dumping Palin was first an idea of Parker's. She wrote the article on 26 Sept. There are many articles before that that propose the idea

But I don't expect you to admit that either.

I don't need to search. As I mentioned in an earlier thread, she was on NPR on Thursday with Mona Charen, and she admitted that she had suggested that Palin back out ... and that it would be a wise idea for the McCain campaign to press that view on her. She also suggested that, because the debate was that very night, it was probably too late.

And, as I've also pointed out in an earlier thread, I'm not sure McCain can dump her, if even he wants to. She was nominated by the Republican convention. He can't, as far as I know, unilaterally toss her out of the plane, unless she jumps. So, dumping her necessarily involves her willing cooperation.

OK, so we are in a agreement that the notion of dumping Palin was not Parker's original idea, and you have no credible source of anyone in McCain's campaign or in the GOP discussing that she should be dumped. So what again is your concern with what I wrote?

it's my idea.. not leftist or rightist.. altho i've read many on the left and the right who have come up with the same notion.

i think if McCain really wants to win he should have a vp that people would be comfortable with.. not just the hardcore republican base that would be comfortable with apparently any old joe.

Au contraire. I think Kathleen Parker is an eminently credible source.

And I never said it was her idea first. That was a figment of your own imagination. More than one person can have an idea. You've introduced the word "original" now to cover your tracks, which is yet again a tacit admission on your part that you've been caught and have to amend your statement to make it factually correct.

You are usually better with definitions than that. Your argument comes down to this:

That makes no sense. Leftists were proposing the idea that McCain dump Palin as soon as she was selected. Parker was all pro-Palin until the end of last month. For whatever reason, all that can be said was that she adopted an idea that was already in common circulation.

You are simply can't prove your point with Parker -- try someone else.
