Sarah Palin to GOP: 'Fight like a girl'....
Sarah Palin unleashed a withering critique of congressional Republicans Saturday, lambasting them for not cutting spending deeper and faster, and saying the party needs to “fight like a girl.”

"We didn’t elect you just to rearrange the deck chairs on a sinking Titanic," Palin said during a rally in front of the Wisconsin statehouse in Madison. "What we need from you, GOP, is to fight." Pointing to the national champion University of Wisconsin women's hockey team, Palin said the GOP could learn from its resolve and “needs to learn how to fight like a girl."

Palin took issue with the GOP leadership for promising $100 billion in cuts from the current budget, trimming that pledge to $60 billion and finally settling for $38 billion in the recent budget battle.

"Then after some politics as usual and accounting gimmicks we found out — ya know that $38 billion? We’re actually borrowing that $38 billion," Palin said. "That is not courage, that is capitulation."

6. Oh, thanks.
So she want's to use dirty tactics. I'm a girl, and I've been in fights, but I have three brothers that taught me how to defend myself so I don't fight like that. Maybe that's why I didn't get it.

3. That line about rearranging chairs on the
Titanic is so old it has mold on it. The woman does not have an original thought in her head. And the sick media keeps her in the spotlight. It is as if they await, breathless, to hear the next dumb line in her oratory.

4. Hair-pulling, scratching, and eye-gouging?
Maybe even some blouse-ripping to add that certain something?

I think that's what she's trying for.

8. Yawn!
Isn't she way past her 15 minutes now? I can't understand why someone whose poll numbers demonstrate that the public has about as much interest in her as they have in watching grass grow, still gets all this media coverage.

And if the reports are true from Wisconsin today, she can't even attract a crowd at this point.

I guess she must be a commodity in which a few people have invested and they are desperately trying to get the public to stay interested. There is really no other rational explanation. Most Republicans I know find the woman to be such an embarrassment they won't even talk about her.

9. This is her thing.
She accuses the GOP men of being "limp," "weak" and "hiding behind skirts." She uses all kind of erectile dysfunction terms to describe the members of the party whom she disagrees with.

I'm waiting for someone to call her frigid, castrating and neurotic. I don't think she'll like it.

:dunce:

12. "Fight Like a Girl" is used on breast cancer Tshirts. She's so stupid she probably just saw it and
decided to use it, even though it makes no sense in that context.

Just like refudiate and all the other idiocy. She is so ignorant.

16. Palin: the Everywoman. She's a Jew, a Christian, a Hawkey Mom, a real American, and now,
spouts breast cancer slogans.
