I love it when people like yourself comment on a topic. It allows me to quote the user and follow it with a "what he said," which is nice.Therumancer said:Well, personally I think Ebay is in the wrong here. To be entirely honest with you I think they should remain politically neutral, and it seems like this is what amounts to Republican bashing. You didn't have similar issues over resales of autographed copies of the "Spider Man meets Obama" crossover.
Also in general it seems the leanings of those on this site (and arguably most fan sites in general) tends to be pretty far to the left. In general the country is polarized 50-50 and Obama came into power with a 7% lead after two terms of Republican domination. There is neither a *massive* anti-Republican sentiment, nor quite the hatred for Bush some believe there is (he WAS a two term president).
Now truthfully a failed Vice Presidential cantidate doesn't strike me as being any big deal, even with a governorship. It's not like it's the signature of a president or vice president. As such my attitude is pretty "meh" when it comes to someone asking a million dollars for it (and I think the bid was bogus, similar to some of the bids to buy the name to the "Goatse" site via auction once upon a time).
That said, I'm sure she has FAR more fans than many people here would like to admit, not many people even get a shot at running a state, never mind even TRYING for the Vice Presidency. She is hardly a failed politician even with all of the scandals, she's gotten further than well... pretty much everyone outside a very select group of people.
I don't find this inherantly "lulzworthy" but I do think 1.1 million is kind of ridiculous for her autograph. I'd think it would double or triple the standard cost of the X-box tops.
If I had 1.1 mil to waste, I'd be too busy investing and starting a firearm collection.mrx19869 said:if i had a cool mil to waste.. then id buy it and then put it into a blender.. or light it on fire...
things would be the same. she WAS alaska's governer. thats like being a mcdonalds manager. no REAL power to do anything. she resigned anyway and is nothing now.KillerMidget said:Go away Palin!
Things will be much better.
But... there's a photo of it right there on the article, isn't there?mikecoulter said:Surely someone could ask her if she did sign it, just to make sure...
Most of the country is not left or right, they are moderates. (Which in retrospect I think is what you were saying, I first read it as "50% of the country is left and 50% of the country is right" which bugged me. I apologize for that )CyberKnight said:Thank you for a well-reasoned post.Therumancer said:Well, personally I think Ebay is in the wrong here.

I believe you misunderstood. I mean't the game Prototype.Lord_Panzer said:Fixed.TheFacelessOne said:Okay...
One: Who wants a signed Xbox for $1.1 million? It better at least come with THE Prototype.
Seriously, that reaches a level of stupidity I haven't dared to imagine since I first heard the woman speak.

This. I hate republicans, but I hate democrats too. And the somewhat left leanings I occasionally see annoy me.Therumancer said:Well, personally I think Ebay is in the wrong here.

Lol, Why would anyone want something signed by Sarah Palin? She has become one of the biggest political jokes since George W. Bush. (No offense to Republicans, Bush and Palin supporters).OptimusHagrid said:Something signed by Sarah Palin?
Gee, this should get the cool kids to notice me.
Wasn't there this one instance regarding a cigar smoked by a certain prime minister...?Sassafrass said:Who would pay $1.1 million dollars for a damn signed console??
Glad I live in England where nothing like this happens.
