Palin Soaks Up Media Spotlight

“Alaska governor Sarah Palin continues to get offers for publicity appearances, but this one might top them all. TNA wrestling is offering her $50,000 to the charity of her choice to join the villainous Beautiful People as an honorary member.”
How are we supposed to take this moron seriously when her own “peeps” are making a joke of her.

Go away already Palin! Take a hint. If people wanted to continue seeing you and listening to your senseless blabbering, we would have voted for you. We didn’t.

The greatest danger Palin faces is the inability to know that she does not know! Even in her recent flurry of interviews, she revealed a big and gaping scope of ignorance.

hang …no one is expecting you or any other jealous liberal to take her seriously. you guys are scared…BHO has about 12 months to dance or the house and senate will be in jeopardy. she has got it all and is going to gain all the experience she needs in the next 4 years. sarah is a stud.

Palin was nothing but a ploy, used and then abused, by the Republicans…and she is still so dumb, she doesn’t yet know it!!!

HER 15 MINUTES OF FAME, BLAME AND SHAME WERE UP WHEN THEY INVENTED THE FIRST SUN DIAL.
WHY BEAT A DEAD MOOSE ?
LMAO

Sarah Palin has gotten a taste of the spotlight & now she’s like a junkie, she can’t get enough. Being the family person she proclaimed to be, where is she finding the time? She’s been away from home for the last 3 months with the campaign & what does she do, leave again to do interviews. I’m sure the Alaskan taxpayers are loving this. Hypocrite.

It’s so funny to see how UPSET people get about Palin. Think she’s dumb? Everyone thought Regan was dumb too. I think she’s playing you. Anyway, why are you all still whining and complaining when you got your guy elected? You should be happy! Stop trashing Sarah, she having the last laugh.

Enough already…..pleeeeease tell her to go home and leave us alone. This is worse than the gong show……pleeeeease

Sarah palin is an incredibly talented woman. She was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth so she put herself through college. She decided to get involved in her local community unlike many of us who complain but do nothing. She wanted to make more of an impact so she tried for a higher office, then an even higher office. I think if you look at her accomplishments alone you have to admit that she is an incredible person. For those who argue this you are practically calling all of the citizens of Alaska idiots. They gave her the highest approval rating of any Governor in the United States.
Stop feeling so threatened by this very talented woman and just accept that is here to stay.

attn media: leave alaska. leave sarah alone. she has nothing of any substance to say. go out and cover real news. when sarah notices that there’s nobady there, she’ll go back to doing whatever it was she did before; governing a state with a population roughly the same as the city of scranton.

Sarah Palin, watching you is like watching a train wreck. That’s the only reason you are still in the news.

Those of you that bash Palin for her lack of experience…readily accept Obama as President…A man that never held an executive position in govenrment and voted “present” many times in his short Senate gig…there;s your double standard

I sure hope the Republicans nominate Palin in 2012. That would set their party back another dozen years.

I think ABC is in Love with Palin, there is not a day that goes by that there is not a story about her, why don’t you give it a rest and stop giving these idiots on this blog red meat, they seem to salivate everytime they hear her name, especially the ignorant uniformed women. Give it a rest, the woman is back in Alaska, running her State, let her work there speak for her.

How many intelligent people would vote for someone who believes in the Rapture and that Adam and Eve had pet dinosauers?

Traditional Republican…please get your facts straight…the natural resources of Alaska that produce the state dividends to the citizens BELONG TO ALASKAN CITIZENS..not the oil companies that lease them..there is a partnership in place to share in the wealth of those resources that actually are public property…this is not the same as giving money to one group of people that don;t have ownership rights in the product or service that genereated that wealth…that what socialism is..giving money and benefits to those that didn;t earn it nor have any property rights to the assets that generated that wealth

Truthteller, you are absolutely right. The government is not supposed to profit, the people are.

Most countries voters want a highly educated capable leader who is in the mainstream. Caribou Barbie is neither. Fact!

AJ,
What is happening with Sarah Palin now was predictable. The press went after her with a vengeance, repeating things they had to know were simply not true. Now they are getting a chance to actually talk to her, to share stories about their families, to look her in the eye and take the measure of the person. What are they finding? Sarah is a warm, optimistic, hard working, dynamic, and very intelligent woman. The press is biased agasinst conservatives in general but once they actual sit with someone of character, like Sarah, they find it much more difficult to support the smear campaign.
I only wish McCain had allowed her to hold open press conferences where this side could have come out.
AJ, if you ever meet her you will come to the same conclusion, and I believe you know this.

Palin does not know what she does not know. This makes her a danger to the public. Please stop giving this woman air time.

I love Sarah…..and I love the way she, while being a Governor of a State, she is still very much a wife and a Mom, and a loving daughter!!!!
Go Sarah!! Never let them muzzle you again!!!

GO PALIN…..FIRST GOVERNOR…. NEXT SENATOR….. NEXT PRESIDENT….

And Joe Biden is a freaking rock star!, geez the man sleeps while in the House Chambers and when he is not sleeping he is crying

this woman kicks arse and is a role model for all.you liberals cant handle it as you expect evryone to hand it to you, i respect people who look to themselves rather than the govt to help them out.highest ratings on tv and as a govenor….cant handle it ha ha ha. your elitist man will fail.we will not unite behind him as his supporters(you) did not unite behind bush. yes she can!

Instead of sitting around complaining like many of these anti-Palin bloggers, THE Alaskan Sarah Heath Palin got up, got motivated, and ran for office and then this “get er done” gal made the changes in govt she wanted to see happen. She cleaned house. Palin’s got courage and it’s going to take her far, regardless of her detractors opinions.

catman: “as his supporters(you) did not unite behind bush.”
Bush recieved unprecidented support in the wake of 9/11/2001. Compare the number of Democratic filibusters during the Republican control of the senate to the order of magnitude greater number during Democratic control of the Senate.
Claiming Democrats never united behind Bush is a lie. They gave him a rubber stamped blank check, which he handed over to Haliburton to invade Iraq.

Wow….will someone call her (Palin) up and advise her on graciously going home and stop making herself a public spectacle! Her negativity just won’t quit! All the while, McCain and Obama are taking the road of politeness, a united country and good humor (acting with class). But the one to watch out for is ROMNEY…..lurking quietly, letting Palin dig her own hole, waiting for the Alaskan soap opera to come up with more gore and then his plan is to take over the GOP and shove her so far into the shadows of the Republican party, her name won’t even be recognizable. His mind is always working four years ahead,,,,ask the people of Massachusetts. When that carpetbagger was elected governor of Massachusetts….he was already running for president and he never did a thing to benefit the state. Which is a good question for all the candidates….do you get paid for being governor or senator while you are campaigning for president? How can I get that kind of paid leave to look for a new job?

And also too another intricately constructed sentence from Sarah Palin:
“And I speak for other Republicans, other Republican governors also, they being willing also to, again, seize this opportunity that we have to progress this nation together, a united front.”
And another also too again another also from the same interview:
“And that bodes well for our president also and other things also that bode well for President Bush…”

I love watching you lower 48 tax payers suffer through this…while our Gov. Palin nixes our gas tax and gives us checks from oil to spend as we please you will be sending us MORE money from the Barry obama plan…Thanks and if I could I would give you my address so you could write a check now so that I could forward to the Palin campaign…

Palin the front-runner in 2012? Your kidding right?

Damn McCain for unleashing this sociopath narcissist on the citizens of the lower 48 ! This woman has every symptom in my medical books, and in dire need of some psych meds!Go Home Ms.Plain, and rule your frozen kingdom.I feel bad for the sane people that live there.Good grief,we are sick of you and your “husband on a leash”. What is his job,besides prying into private Alaska’s business,and putting the squeeze on noncomplying people ?

Sarah, go away! Your 15 minutes of fame are up! The more you try to hog the spotlight, the worse you look.

Traditional Republican- stand corrected. There are young Republicans, who DO NOT ATTEND church, and who supported the McCain/Palin ticket for their POLICIES such as domestic energy, 2nd amendment protection, patriotism, and strong military. Seriously man — Do you really think that everyone who is a Republican is a church going old man? Wow- you are clueless. The GOP is changing man.

If Palin is the “future” of the Republican party then there are countless moderate Republicans the Republican party can permanently kiss good-bye.

Why are the American people still be subjected to this woman? She is still harping on Ayers and terrorism, she is still answering questions with long winded nonsense answers. Her ticket lost the race. McCain has moved on. He seems to be doing just fine, why can’t she do the same. I thought the media was BAD during the campaign…I guess it can GOOD when you want to keep your face in the press. GEESSHH!!GO AWAY ALL READY!!

Who are these nut jobs saying how qualified Palin is? You’re not conservatives, you’re delusional !!!! Let’s all take a moment to laugh at you :) Conservatives are smarter than that!.. Come on, apologize for creating the know-nothing wing of the republican party and just admit you put them a step back!

No comment!!!
No comment!!!
No comment!!!

Ohhh Nicole- Run a state much? (Alaska) Anyone calling Palin an idiot proves THEY are an idiot. Palin might be less than articulate, but she is VERY effective in cleaning up corruption, downsizing government, and balancing budgets. How sad that you, a woman Nicole, trash on another woman’s success. Feminist much? I’m laughing because Palin is just getting started.

LOOK AT ME!!! LOOK AT ME!!! I’m Sarah Palin! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!!! I’m so great and so beautiful and so smart. Can’t you all see how wonderful I am?? I’m getting chills just from thinking about myself!!! Oh I’m so astonishing! I’m so amazing!! I’m so incredible!!!

OMG! I can’t believe Sarah is still in the spotlight.
People are discussing her ….. and I’m reading the comments!
She is not qualified, is no role model … a “pro-life” animal killer, with no respect for the planet, and frankly it scares the hell out of me that some people seem to think she’s a godsend.
This is messed up beyond belief.

As long as Palin keeps in the media -Tina Fay will have a job mocking her, and I will be happy. But in truth Palin is the poster child about why we need to organize and protest against evangelical churches. As long as she keeps talking, people will understand why this government can not be influenced by her type of right wingyness.

She’s still in the spotlight because she’s the best-looking democrat or republican female politician out there today. If she had a big hairy mole with hairs on her face she’d have been dismissed long ago no matter what she was saying – this is media today.

A state that would re-elect a convicted felon is a poor example for the entire world.

As I read through these comments and others regarding Palin, I’ve noticed that Palin supporters often say something to the effect that those who don’t trust/like Palin are “so afraid” of her implying that we are quivering and cowering as we look up at her towering strength and power. This is such nonsense. We were “afraid” that she might indeed be “a heartbeat away from the presidency, yes, but the reasons are her lack of intelligence, her dogmatic appeal to people’s base instincts, her lack of anything substantial to say, and the list goes on. These are some of the reasons we were “afraid” that she be anywhere near a position of power in this country. So I think it ludicrous when her supporters misinterpret our concern.
Palin supporters also like to say that we are jealous of her and that we don’t like the idea of this er umm “successful” juggling woman being in office. That is absurd. Whether a candidate is a man or woman, juggling or not, any sane voter wants a true leader with intelligence, strength of character, honesty, compassion, and a genuine desire to lead the country in the right direction.
Palin might be a good cheerleader, adept at shouting slogans with vehemence and zeal, but behind all that was nothing of substance. She really had nothing to offer. Period.
It also concerned me that, if chosen, she would spill everything to her snowboarding (snowmobiling?) husband, if not actually demanding that he be present at all meetings. That in itself is “scary.” Maybe I’m being presumptuous in assuming that could happen, but that is the feeling I got.
I think she also shows streaks of a manipulative nature. After bad-mouthing Obama, she is now trying to weasel her way into his good graces by saying she’d be “honored” to work with him. Yeah right.
I am going to try my best to refrain from adding to these comments, as I think the fewer people who make them, the better. Maybe the articles on Palin, and thus the spotlight, will dwindle and dry up.

Voting convicted felon…
Motive: Vote him in instead of a lib…then Ted can get booted form the senate (deserves it) and then guess what SARAH PALIN picks someone else or she can run…god bless the USA surely libs after 6 years in the senate she will have enough experience
—Note to self-advise my 8 year old not to run for Governor and do a good job against you own party because that means you are bad….whatever!
Hey dont forget ole Bobby in LA…any commments on him libs? Saved LA and IS a rebublican…

OMG!!! So many people are star struck with Sinner Sarahs….”celebritiness”(a cute Palinesque word i bet she uses against Barack) catman said she be back next time with good ideas and intelligence…..HHAAHHAAHHAAHHAHAHAhAhAHA!! Omg you cant fix her kind of stupid in 4 years. Maybe four decades. She has no curiosity and barely capable of reading filthy lies from a teleprompter. When I see her on Meet The Press, then I may be able to say she is a serious player. Till then shes a weakling.

Is the State of Alaska paying for Governor Palin to do these interviews? Is the State paying for her travel, hotels, food, etc…and just how does this benefit them?
The Election is over.
Mrs Palin is still the Governor of Alaska, so when will she get back to governing that State, and leave the rest of us in peace?

Brilliant political move, anyone with half a mind can see that. Free publicity, and shes taking it (rare for a rep).
She’s already setting up for another political move, to what I’ve no idea. But she is taking the spotlight while its there.
Why crash her for it? Oh b/c she scares the living daylights out of libs? A real woman who is feminine, strong and wont back down to do “the man’s” bidding. Holly Crap! Its like a feminist but a woman not trying to be a man… Oh crap and she’s in politics…
She’s making a brilliant political move the problem is shes in the GOP which makes everything she does a controversy and evil…

My take on Palin is that she cannot accept any explaination for charges she has made against Obama. I have heard Obama explain his relation with Ayers several times and it is always clear that the only long term association he had with Ayers was on a charity committee. Bulldog will not accept this. Obama terminated his association with Wright and explained his long time association with Wright. Bulldog with not accept this. Sarah where are your medical records that you promised? Your word means nothing to me until these records are released. Sarah why did your church try to get rid of the witch in you? Must not have worked. Oh by the way I am not in my pajamas. Hope you read everything like you stated. By the way there are 23 countries and island states on the North American Continent. You might want to study world history a little just in case.

**************************************
Well, I’ve speculated all along there some big man fantasy going on for me to buy into this chick. I suppose this post proves it. Bottom line? If this were some man? No WAY would he be in this spot. Ugly woman? Same thing. She does scare me. She’s simply not got the brain to run my country in my view.

Palin will be back. All you people on the left, including the media and ABC are scared to death of her becasue they know she has that it quality. She will be back in 2012 and the Messiah can get in with two years of senate experience and only his trusted Telaprompter to help then I don’t see why she couldn’t be our next President. Most people forget that Obama had almost a year of time to prepare, she had no time. She will be much better in 4 years and the Dems better watch out!
She is getting more attention to Obama right now, That guy has no Personality

I was so disgusted with her Bill Ayers nonsense again during the CNN interview with Wolf Blitzer. She should realize she’s not the VP attack dog candidate anymore, no need to spin that nonsense, it’s inciting more hate in this country.
If you think she should go away, go to the Alaska governor’s homepage and SEND HER AN EMAIL. Tell her what you think.

I agree with Stringer – I just caught what she said on Blitzer and am disgusted. That has to be the most tacky unacceptable behavior from a “loser” that I have EVER seen.

I saw Palin interviewed on Larry King. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

We love Gov. Sarah and her family. Millions of Americans love and admire pro-American values and Gov. Sarah is a fine example. The grade school taunts cannot ever take away from her superior intelligence, commonsense, goodness and decency. We just hope and pray Comrade Obama and Big Mike have not done too much damage to our country until 2012.

pjd: You are so right and most of the women on this board and men also are built up with jealousy and hate over the fact that she is so popular and might run for the presidency in 2012. That’s why the republican’s are preparing themselves for the run now instead of waiting. I believe they want her to keep getting interviews so she can prepare herself for it. That’s the good news. All the democrat dogs will be living in fear once that happens. They believe they have a gem in Obama but they are so stupid they realize that the reason Obama is choosing many of Clinton’s people, they will train him for the presidency. He doesn’t have the knowledge of politics or foreign policy. He chose Emanuel who is Jewish but is having a meeting with Hamas whom Emanuel does not like. I can just see the friction that is going to cause. But that’s the democrats for you.

Sarah Palin gave herself away when she tried to be modest by saying that God would let her know if she should run in 2012. She is precisely that mixture of religious zeal and lack of interest in her own intellectual growth that is always to be feared. This is how demagogues are born.

Susan: And don’t you wish you were getting those offers instead of Palin. Sure you do and so do thousand’s of other women who didn’t try to accomplish any goals in their lifetime. And so do many of the men. The trouble with you and the others is that you fear she is going to take the publicity away from blackbarack. And that might just happen. Get ready for it. Obama will get plenty of publicity when the trouble starts in paradise.

The Liberal cut and paste press were all in the tank cheer leading for Nobama. Palin scares the hell out of them thats why they still attack her. Biden was so incompetant and shielded from by the left wing press yet he still shot himself in the foot Obama has no experience but the fact he is a typical black confidence man.

btw, my brain hurts every time i try to listen to her…her nonsensical illogical flow and fuzzy patriotic words that she throws in to dodge the questions. did you see her on wolf b or larry king? wow….babbling. strong, yet babbling. what an interesting politician. RNC is stronger and smarter than to have her on the 2012 ticket. sorry folks, ain’t gonna happen. wink, wink…shoot the moose. chili!!!

I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT!!
Keep up the Sarah bashing, it energizes her base even more. You betcha you guys are scared, even if you can’t admit it. Sarah will be the great unifier, when the time is right.
Sarah will gain the backing of many people from many party affiliations, especially after BO runs this country into the ground. Many of her backers are sick of the old style republicans. We have seen our GOP drift quietly toward center left hoping the people won’t notice. History has told us when Republicans start acting like democrats, they will always lose elections.
You know, Regan in his defeat delivered a positive unifying message that continued to energize the repulican party, even in defeat. McCain has not done that. He’s delivered a message that continues to divide the party to this day.
If McCain was the leader I thought he was, his message would have been different IMHO. So, I am starting to see that it was probably a good thing he did not get elected. Not that I am happy to have BO as president, but McCain might have damaged the party even further once he was in office. This is all speculation and hersay on my part, but I am becoming enlightened everyday.
I believe Palin will be the great unifier, I am just not sure when (and neither is she). She is slated for greatness, and that’s why people cannot stop trying to figure her out or bash her down. She scares the pants off democrats AND republicans.
Sarah’s loyalty lies not with the democrats or the republicans, but with the people. She will come down hard on someone doing wrong with no prefrence to weather they are a republican or a democrat. AND GOSH DARNIT THAT IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE!
Our representative leaders do not serve a party affiliation, THEY SERVE US! You and me! We take a large chunk of our earnings to pay the salaries of our elected officials, so that means they work for us. We are their bosses and every decision they make should be based on the will of the people who pay their salaries. Governor Sarah Palin understands this explicitly. She governs her entire life that way, and it is one of the reasons so many people stand behind her.
I know I will follow her to the ends of the earth and back! She will be the great unifier, when we are ready to make it happen for real.

As many Canadians the Us Presidential Election Campaign was of high interest to me.
I am particularly appalled with Sarah Palin. From the beginning I though that this woman had very little of “what it takes” to be representing the People of the United States.
Ms. Palin simply did not qualify for the office of the Vice-President. Although clever and attractive, she has not handled herself well during debates making many erroneous statements and not answering questions to the satisfaction of the American People.
I feel as others do, that she would likely make irrational and irresponsible decision if ever elected. On the international level, her approach to her own and other political parties has been tactless and disrespectful. I cringe when I hear her speak and what comes out of her mouth is unbelievably stupid. A distinct liability. She is incapable of independent decision making and would require very strong party support and I think that the members would become very dubious of her. She does not have the leadership qualifications or the ability of decision making. Her personal agenda appears to be taking priority over the support and concern for the average American Citizen. Her whole angle is for self representation with a lot of immature ego on the side. In other words, “you’re not running for the popular votes for high school Prom Queen here, Sarah so, put a lid on it. You’re becoming very tiresome. Your country is undergoing many vital changes which will require extraordinary effort in order to develop and implement these changes and the ability to make significant contributions to these new objectives.
If you are ever elected to represent your country, you’d all be in one hell of a mess.
Sarah, you simply do not have it. For heaven’s sake accept this graciously and just go home.
A concerned Canadian

“Ms. Palin simply did not qualify for the office of the Vice-President. Although clever and attractive, she has not handled herself well during debates making many erroneous statements and not answering questions to the satisfaction of the American People.”
—————–
Palin had little to no time to make preparations for her run as VP. If she ran on her own, she would do much better, having the time develop her own stances on issues and being able to prepare to defend her philosophies. The GOP held her down this time around. She was forced to say what they wanted her to say, and she was thrown into the fire of the media without the freedom to speak her mind. I have a feeling that we will see a different version of Palin in 2012, for better or worse.

BLITZER: “Gov. Palin, before the election, you were speaking with James Dobson of Focus on the Family. and you said that you were confident that God would do the right thing for America on November 4th. Did God do the right thing for America?”
PALIN: “I don’t know if that was my specific quote.”
Ok, here is her specific quote. “I’m going to know at the end of the day, putting this in God’s hands, that the right thing for America will be done, the end of the day on November 4th.”
Is that somehow different from what Wolf said? Wasn’t she saying that the outcome would be God’s will?

WHAT IS VERY SERIOUS, is the media, and people in the republican party are promoting a person who is fairly dangerous wit respect to her views and her lack of knowledge on most topics outside of anything concerning Alaska. On top of that, she has shown to be vindictive and fairly unable to take any advice/instruction from anyone. She doesn’t listen.
A wise person knows that he/she does not know everything, and thus, will invite, seek, and listen to the words of others, in order to increase the chances of finding the best resolution or idea to any problem or opportunity.
A fool KNOWS EVERYTHING, so they do not seek advice, nor are they humble enough to accept knowledge from others, because of their own delusions of greatness, and intolerance of those who are perceived more learned or equipped than themselves.
People are treating this as a joke. People are wanting to place Palin in the light and in powerful positions, out of spite. This is a sign of sickness, in that your own personal feelings of revenge or wanting to create chaos, is more important than trying to save this nation from turmoil.
To me, Palin consistently shows signs of instability, and she her character is very much flawed. She lies as if lying was a normal acceptance. She refuses to take responsibility for anything that isn’t glorifying herself. (not the sign of a true leader) … and she is full of herself.
If she did not have a nice smile, and catchy phrases, the media, nor the republican party, nor the people of Alaska, .. would have payed any attention to Palin. She offers ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to be labeled as profound. … she just doesn’t.

MY FINAL COMMENT: Anyone who uses god to manipulate people, is a no no….
Next, she will be trying to get the masses to drink kool-aid, and meet her in paradise, as she will be placed in position to rule the universe, and shoot at stars, as they will explode and bring new life to cosmos.
Geez, are you media people for real? Stop it.

Keep going all you Rush/Hanity conservatives…
You folks just don’t get it, which is why you lost. Y’all screwed up voting Bush/Cheney/Rove/Rumsfeld in. Now you pin your hopes on the Barbie doll and the “phoney plumber”. Granted, she’s an “everyday person” (whatever that means)and we like her looks,too.But that doesn’t qualify her as PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.Maybe as a talk show,or the movies perhaps.Keep making these choices,we love it.

Hey Mark
Obama is not our “boy”. He’s a MAN like you’ll be one day hopefully. He’s our next PRESIDENT OF THE US whether you voted for him or not. The “boy” stuff went out with the 60′s.

WELL SAID PURPLE FINCH!
I too never got why we’re so “scared” of Palin. She never had enough pwer or politicl savvy to threaten ANYONE. (Except the moose, perhaps.
Anyone ever figure out why she and “the first dude” wanted to get Alaska succeeded from the union?

Conservatives lost because it was the right thing for America. Sarah Palin said so.

Searamblerone
actually, she was on the campaign trail for 7 weeks and was drawing almost as big of crowds as the annointed one, crowds 3 times the size of mcccain’s, and 20 times the size of the joe the biden. Barry had been on the stage for 2 years before people drank enough kool-aid from the media to buy into his crap. Also, Palin did it with the media HATING her and pulling her down, BO did with the media protecting and rooting for him.

Any body got a “hand-out” for Joe the Plumber?

I am tired of ABC News and other news organization giving this woman press time. Its an OBVIOUS ploy to keep herself relevant and in the media spotlight. Come on ABC. Give us a break. Stop shoving updates on this loser down our throats. The only reason she is relevant is because you keep covering her.

First off, it was the GOP and the Mccain campaign who ‘annointed’ Obama, calling him the Messiah, not the DNC or his supporters. Second, her hate rallies to her hard-core base simply means she can whip up a partisan crowd into a frenzy – great quality for a possible second-in-command, or even president. Third, the media didn’t hate her – how could they, she wasn’t allowed to speak with them? Mccain shoves this unknown woman onto the national stage 2 months before the election, and you expected, what? That no one would question her? Her roots, her history, her ideology, her beliefs, her knowledge? Did you expect the American public to simply say ‘Oh, OK, Mccain chose her so she must be the perfect and best candidate for the job’? Get real! Face facts: she was a VERY POOR CHOICE FOR MCCAIN! Her selection showed the world that Mccain put himself and his campaign above the best interests of the country, period. He gambled and he lost. He showed very poor judgment. And the people responded by electing his opponent. End of game.

Traditional Republican-
your first mistake is ever even thinking McCain had a chance (i donated to him too). Romney should have gotten the nomination but his flip-flopping on abortion worried some of the crazy evangelicals in our party. Romney would have crushed Barry in the debates, but McCain somehow got the nomination because the press wanted him to get nominated and knew he would never win the presidency.
Our party doesn’t win with liberal republicans like bob dole and john mccain. We win with ultra-conservatives like ronald reagan, george bush sr(before he raised taxes during his first term and lost to clinton), george w. bush, romney, palin.
Our goals our simple…
small gov’t
small taxes
big military
McCain was basically hillary in a suit- he was even opposed to drilling in ANWR because of “climate change”(fomerly “global warming” before the temps started to inconveniently drop).
He’s soft on immigration, taxes and has never been a CONSERVATIVE

I see profound reasoning here:
Some want Palin to run, because she drew big crowds.
Some want Palin to run, becasue she is a woman.
Both reasons are of an illogical nature, if your goal is to have this country rid itself of crisis.
Palin drew crowds of anger and hatred. Her crowds were not, at all, diverse. You are not going to win an election with a bunch of hateful people, who do not tolerate others that do not resemble them. The reason is, there are not enough of them in this country, as the election has shown.
Some women are for Palin becasue , she is a woman. If you ask them what other reason, they might say, because she is nice, or speaks confidently. … and yet, these are not criteria that would cause someone with common sense, to seek out a person who has such qualities, to be a leader of a nation. Yet, there are those who would rather put this country in more of a jeopardy, than to seek out someone who is the most qualified. Talk about affirmative action, geez… at least find a woman who gives some resemblance of a competent candidate.
The basis of the philosophy of the GOP, during the election, was, think with ill=logic. Just find ways to bring people out, no matter what. Find a woman, dress her up, have her read the prompt, “we’re bound to catch a few fish.”
Well, now, now that it has backfired, the worst has happened; you have this woman thinking that she is worthy of being president now. I’d think, that if you had gone and taken an employee from McDonalds, who was flippin’ burgers, and told them that you wanted them to run for vice-president, they’d have had as much vital information to espouse as Palin did. … and soon, they too would believe that they could be president.
The GOP has injected our country with a deadly virus, and no one seems to be aware. Palin has no interest in the welfare of ALL people of america. She has no interest in what is going on around the world either. She ignores what is of no interest to her, BLATANTLY. Her mission is to bring glory to herself, and build her families kingdom… that is it. She has shown, in no such way, any interest in other than promoting herself ahead of any good that does not benefit her and hers.

Yeah, USPatriot, it’s the bitter cold that’s melting the world’s glaciers and ice sheets.

I tell ya what, it seems as if this country wants to see what rock bottom feel slike, .. so.. hey.. let’s make Obama a lame duck for four years, and …
SARAH PALIN/JOE THE PLUMBER 2012 !!!
Why not? Obviously, no one cares about educational background and common sense. Who cares about wisdom and insight? They look nice on television, and they are entertaining when they speak.
The whole world will respect the United States, for being Mavericks and rogues, in changing the criteria and the process by which we choose our leaders. We will be a big hit! Yeah!
YOU BETCHA !

Vince, do you have a problem with women, your mother maybe? Why all the woman-hating???? Palins crowds were full of patriots, vets, mothers, fathers, children, college students, blue-collar, white-collar, teachers, firefighters,….I take it you follow the HuffPo crowd and drank the koolaid…please go look at some of the things BO’s followers and crowds did…nice T-shirt selections, too….I take it you don’t think BO is responsible for his followers, but Palin is responsible for a couple of stupid followers out of the hundreds of thousands that went to see her??? Please also keep in mind, BO had nearly 2 years before anyone asked him anything pertinent. Palin had two days…

Go Palin-
You are wrong in your assessment.
The State of Alaska imposes a ‘severance tax’ on the oil and gas industry in Alaska as do the states of Montana and Wyoming. Those severance taxes are then put into the general funds of all 3 of those states. What set’s Alaska apart from Montana and Wyoming is that Alaska residtributes those funds to the citizens of Alaska and the only qualification they need to receive those funds is to be a resident. No matter how you want to spin it, that redistribution of wealth is socialism or welfare and Sarah Palin is the Chief Executive Officer who distributes that money in Alaska. By comparison, Montana and Wyoming does not give $2,000 a year to every resident based on the fact that they are residents. Alaska is a socialist state, pure and simple.

Even non-green Sarah Palin has said Global Warming is real. (The acrtic ice melt, ya know.) She just keeps flip-flopping on the cause.

Traditional Man….sorry, you need to do better research. Hey maybe you could actually listen to the Alakan Governor. ALASKANS OWN THEIR RESOURCES. THEY SHARE THE PROFITS. keep drinking your koolaid.

GO Palin -
If they own it, why are they taxing themselves. That’s just plain studip.

“Alaska is a socialist state, pure and simple.”
Not so much.
The defining characteristic of socialism is public ownership of the means of production. When Venezuala nationalizes oil company assets such as refineries, and the government operates such assets and distributes the profits to the citizenry, that’s socialism.
When the bailout of AIG results in an 80% ownership stake by taxpayers, that could arguably be considered socialism, although a better description might be taxpayer equity.
Neither a 3-4% adjustment to the income tax rate nor the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend are socialism. Even if the top tax bracket hits 91%, it’s not socialism. As long as the means of production are controlled by private entities, it’s not socialism.
If you want to redefine the word “socialism” to include any system that redistributes wealth, then the following are all socialist: Obama’s Plan, McCain’s Plan, Bush’s Plan, the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend, the collection plate at your church, the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, the Shriners…

People just do a search on Jeremiah Wright and listen to Jeremiah Wright for yourself it may blow your hair back.

Searambler one
just search- type in rev wright video… any of the awesome clips listed clearly states he BLAMES THE US FOR 9/11 AND WE DESERVED IT!!
GOSH, I WISH PROVING PEOPLE WRONG WAS ALWAYS THIS EASY.. (look closely you might be able to see Michelle in the background jumping up and down while barry just nods his head as if to say “amen brotha”)

GOOD BYE TO SARAH PALIN WITH THE 83 IQ.
GOOD RIDDANCE.
AMERICA DODGED THE BULLET.
SHE SHOULD TRY ‘AMERICAN IDOL’ NEXT.

Sarah Palin is going to have a huge role in getting the republican base riled up again. If she’s not a presidential candidate in 2012 she’s certainly going to be out there getting the votes in. she has the ability to connect wiht real americans.
____________________________________________
Then the Republicans should be prepared to lose for years to come. “real americans” come from all races, backgrounds and beliefs. The failure of the Republican party is their belief that white, evangelical, far-right ideology is America.

philBgood, i’m not worried about losing the election, thats done and i am fine about it. i am looking forward to the years ahead and i think the GOP have some really good players in the field who are young and can get the GOP base out there again. remember we elected G W Bush in 2004 when he wasnt popular.
As i said, i love how the Dems are getting so antsy about the thought of Sarah Palin still being so popular and all the news networks reporting on her, falling over eachother to get her to do an interview. she’s more popular then the president-elect

Paige
I would love to see the documented sermons of Palin’s pastor spreading this anti-semetism..
On the other hand, there are a # of sermons ol rev wright gave where he was talking of how America has “persecuted the Palestinians”. Or then again, there is that “Lifetime Acheivement Award Barry’s church gave Louis Farrahkan (one of the biggest anti-semite in America) and finally there is that sermon on the internet where Farrackhan calls Barrack the messiah to a group of adoring muslims…….
I have one word Paige– terrifying!!!

Energy expert Sarah Palin told a town hall audience member that oil comes from coal.

Vince
you are right, if Palin ever said she was never proud of her country, only to clarify the next day that she had never been proud of her country in her ADULT life, I would never vote for her. I know love of country is not a big thing for liberals though, they hate America.

As i said, i love how the Dems are getting so antsy about the thought of Sarah Palin still being so popular and all the news networks reporting on her, falling over eachother to get her to do an interview. she’s more popular then the president-elect
______________________________________
It’s not the Dems that are “antsy” – Palin has already lost to them in a landslide. It’s moderate members of the Republican party who are very concerned at the far-right, non-inclusive direction the party is going.
_________________________________
Well you should have realised with this election that not all Dems were falling in line with BO – they were disgusted with the way hillary and Bill were treated. Not everyboyd has to like Sarah, but the republican party needs a new direction and i think Sarah proved that she is what americans like. she had 60,000 people at a rally, a VP candidate shouldnt be getting this, but she did.

Jindal’s approval ratings are higher than Palin’s.

If Sarah Palin would have looked forward during the campaign, insead of looking into Obama’s past, McCain may have made it a closer race.
Some love to make Sarah the punch line of jokes.
I enjoy reading comments about Palin (very positive or very negative, no middle road with her).
She’s your candidate, so stand by her!

Louise, while I understand the concept of you you’re saying there? And get the importance of “the base?” This one falls under “just because you can does it make it right?” I would be embarrassed to call myself republican with this hateful nonsense going on. (I’m a centrist). I find this “anti all of those other people” dangerous to our country, NOT American and just not the type of world I want to leave for my kid here. Somewhere a whole bunch of republicans lost that whole “united” thing. History tells us with all civilizations that inside division was key before their fall. This is exactly what Palin’s brand of politicing is. It’s ugly and harmful. I know the games, I understand it. But the bar got raised on some big ugly. I also think it’s about as UNChristian as it can get as well.

Hey, Sarah, if you didn’t want to talk to us BEFORE the election, we really could give a rat’s behind what you have to say now.
Your 15 minutes were up 14 minutes ago

PhilBgood
You just wait 4 years after BO has raised taxes, tripled the amount of government, tripled the amount of those on welfar, and has had tea parties with Ahkmadenijead (who is still doing kart-wheels due to BO’s election). Palin’s “simple” mentallity will look pretty good…
less gov’t
less taxes
stronger military
As for your comments about the republican party- not too insightful.. We never win the election when we nominate liberal conservatives like McCain. He was basically Hillary Clinton with an incredible record of military service to his country.

palin4prez – Phil was spot on. Somehow you fail to consider Bush’s record on growing the government and raising entitlement (his record is far higher than Clinton had). Not to mention the military is far weaker under his watch. You guys lost “fiscal” a while ago, and if you keep proping up this social ideology that is so harsh it will backfire. Not to mention how hateful the promotion of it is. This spoken by a person that would like to go “republican” if you could find a real one now. You allowed entirely too many religious people to get pushy and take over. It’s a turn off that they want to make policy. You’re having a complete identity crisis and the moderates are fleeing.

Searambler – thats why i think she will either help someone get elected and be a key figure in changing the face of the republican party, or if its proven that she is still as popular as she is now in 3 years then maybe she’ll run herself. All i know is that she has a bright future ahead.
Vince – obama won more states, thats for sure, but the race in the swing states were pretty close. Mccain still had around 48% of the votes in those states and that makes you realise that there is still a base out there that could work hard a tip an election in favour of the GOP

Palin4 – See, there you go. I do not think your side is quite getting how turned off so many of us more moderate are with this? Log onto Whitehouse.gov and you’ll find a blurb with Bush bragging on how he upped those minority home loans. All Presidents for years have been pushing an ownership society. After that log onto Homeland Security and read the giant “OBL is plotting a big one” story. Do tell, why is OBL still alive Palin4?

Palin4 – Bush Co. messed with the SEC. See, subprimes were approx. 10% of all loans and the market should have been able to withstand this. However in 2004 five bankers asked the SEC chair to raise the limit on the amount of risk banks could hold. One of the five bankers? Paulsen. They agreed. In 2005 they put Chris Cox in charge of the SEC. They began to back off enforcement and lower fines big time. McCain was right. Cox needs to be fired. And if you think this is all some democrat thing? You are going to learn big time otherwise here shortly. The republican administration got entirely too reckless. P.S. Fannie, etc. paid off BOTH sides of the isle on legislation.

Palin is the face of the modern GOP and the media knows it – they wouldn’t line up to request an interview with her if they thought otherwise. Those of you who thought Palin would fade away into the Alaskan sunset really weren’t paying attention during the election were you?
In 2012, after four years of a tax-and-spread president, new taxes on gasoline, wasteful social programs that do nothing and higher-then-ever energy costs, voters will welcome the conservative approach of the Republicans. I don’t know if she’ll run for president, but she’ll definately be a major party player. Also keep your eye on Bobby Jindahl and Jeb Bush’s oldest son, who is shaping up to be an important in the Republican Hispanic community.

obama won more states, thats for sure, but the race in the swing states were pretty close. Mccain still had around 48% of the votes in those states and that makes you realise that there is still a base out there that could work hard a tip an election in favour of the GOP
__________________________________________
Louise, I don’t want to burst your bubble, but to underestimate what the Dems did flipping long time ruby red states into their category is SUBSTANTIAL. For the Dems to sweep the board with Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, Colorado, VIRGINIA and tie in Missouri (that state has yet to be called) is huge. Your are tooting Palin’s whistle and the quickest way to keep these states blue is to make her far right wing ideology the representative of the Republican party.
I know you are excited about our future, but the Republican party can’t plan for the future if they are not brutally honest with where they are today. Reality is important.

To the Wright Haters -
What do you think of this man?
Served nation with honor as a Marine for many years.
Was so well-regarded, he was assigned to the Commander and Chiefs Medical team where he took care of LBJ following surgery.
He did not seek any deferments like Bush, Cheney or Clinton.
The White House honored this marine with three letters of commendation.
This is the man, Rev. Wright, you say is terrifying and hates America. You saw one clip of a sermon on a non-stop loop and made a snap judgement.
He fought for your freedom so you could actually voice your opinion.
May-be should tell him thanks.

Here Palin4 – This should help get my bi-partisan teaching across: “Now, we’ve got a problem here in America that we have to address. Too many American families, too many minorities do not own a home. There is a home ownership gap in America. The difference between Anglo America and African American and Hispanic home ownership is too big. (Applause.) And we’ve got to focus the attention on this nation to address this.And it starts with setting a goal. And so by the year 2010, we must increase minority home owners by at least 5.5 million. In order to close the homeownership gap, we’ve got to set a big goal for America, and focus our attention and resources on that goal. (Applause.)” – George Bush June 17, 2002………… Now, this is not a bad idea. I agree with the theory. What went wrong? What they did that got reckless. This is more about pushing “big business” and is not because of first time minority buyers.

Palin FINALLY said something intelligent! I know, I can hardly believe it myself. At the governor’s conference, she said:
“We are the minority party. Let us resolve not to be the negative party,” Ms. Palin said. “Let us build our case with actions, not just with words.”
From the Larry King interview she did:
“I’m proud of Barack Obama,” she told King. “I pray for him, his family, the new administration. I look forward to the good things that are in store for this nation.”
Maybe there’s hope for her yet……

SearamblerOne – You’re cracking me up. You left out the part where she slandered him again after saying that. She “IS” the face of the “negative party.” It is this “negativity” I am on a mission to stamp out. They can learn something new – like how to win a campaign on their merits, and not “ONLY” smearing the other guy.

WHY DO LIBERALS NOT REALIZE WE LIVE IN THE GREATEST COUNTRY EVER CONCEIVED……
God, what is wrong with liberals? Why do they hate America?? Have anyone of you ever lived or traveled outside the US for very long- I have done both! We are the land of FAT POOR PEOPLE! Next time any of you drive by a food, kitchen or a lower-income housing neighborhood, please notice that almost all will be holding a cigarette and sporting a pot-belly.
As for healthcare- America has and always will have the best in the world. What do you think rich people in Europe, Canada, South America, Asia, do when they need an operation- they come here! They go to John Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson, ect..
Schools- we also have the best in the world! When you are rich in another country you send your child to the US to learn!
Please quit believing all of the rev wrights, obamas, and liberals who always focus on what all of the negatives of America and realize no matter how bad ABC, CNN tells us we are we are the best country in the world.

Vince-
Every country has had slavery- including AFRICA. But last time I checked AMERICA is the only country that has had a civil war to end it.
As for migrating to the poorest parts of town, you can thank that on Democrats and their entitlements. Anytime the government gives people $$ for doing nothing it robs them of the incentive to get an alarm clock, keep their legs closed before marriage and become productive members of society.

vince …call it 4 points or 7 points. my point is as bad as bush screwed things up, i dont know any republican who confidentially ever thought we had a chance of winning regardless of who opposed us.i am sorry but until proven wrong i dont see any experience difference between palin and obama.thats just a fact.a community organizer does not qualify someone to be president over some one who is a govenor.i did not vote for george bush ever ( i am an independent) for the same reason i did not vote for obama….no executive experience period . i watched the media take sides in this election a long time ago and vilify anyone who thought otherwise. thats not the role of the news media.i dont care if obama is black green white or turqoise he has not done anything which made him more qualified than sarah palin. going harvard law school in itself doesnt mean squat unless you throw in the race card.THE MAIN POINT IS DONT READ TOO FAR INTO THE TEA LEAVES….A DEAD CHICKEN COULD HAVE BEATEN MC CAIN. if obama listens to pelosi and reid he is doomed.i am tired of the sarah palin bashing. i sincerly believe it comes from the female liberal media who cant stand to see a women do evrything and still be happy being a mother and a wife.dont make the mistake the bushies made and assume they won because of what they did. bush won because bill clinton was a lying sexual deviate who couldnt be left a home with any female regardless of age.obama won because the country hates george bush.i am very happy that obama won becuse it hopefully marks the end of affirmative action.same feelings for palin and hilary.

Palin4pres: one more thing….
Obama, has a different background than most african americans. I can see him having a different view on the hatred that this country has promoted.
He has , actually, shown ME a different way to look at things, and that not all people in one or another group, are bad. That, indeed, promote the idea of working together, and stop the dividing nature of humanity, .. which is ironic within itself.
No, I can not place words into Obama’s mouth. It’s just as bad, as people associating Obama to Wright, and blaming Obama for what Wright said.
How do you know what most americans think? I believe most americans are aware that Wright told the truth, it’s just that they are not agreeing with his presentation of it.
I believe that 99% of black americans agree that racism has hit their race like a semi truck would hit and damage a volkswagon beetle. I believe that black americans are stronger for it, .. the tribulations, and the trials.
What you fail to realize, is, that , …america , and americans are not just white folk. We have native americans Indians), we have asians, we have african americans, we have hispanics, we have samoans, we have a plethora of people form all over the world, .. from India, to russia.
We are all americans. To suggest that there are “americans,”and then there are “TRUE AMERICANS.” is so bone headed and disrespectful.
No, most people agree with Obama. And most people will continue to agree with Obama, until the republicans can get their act together.

“Obama, has a different background than most african americans. I can see him having a different view on the hatred that this country has promoted.” — Vince
Vince – open your eyes! Yes, there are still pockets of racism and hatred (and it works both ways) but the reality is there are more bi-racial/bi-cultural marriages in America then anywhere else and they’re at an all time high. What does that tell you? We’ve had diversity in high levels of government, education and business. Neighborhoods, schools, and most churches are wonderfully diverse – most children play with each other regardless of race or ethnic background. Just take a look around your neighborhood – you’ll probably see diversity at work. Do we still have a ways to go – yes, but let’s focus on what we’ve done right over the past few years and keep moving in that direction.

Vince,
The comment of Obama “having a different view of racism….” I feel is way off the mark.
If Obama was truly a uniter then he would not have brought his children to hear some of the most divisive language in America.He listened to rev wright’s black liberation theology racist, anti-American, anti-Semetic rants for 20 years.
I for one would not stay in a church for 5 minutes that put down a race of people or my country.

palin4prez – it’s unfair to blame the DOW on Obama’s election just as it’s unfair to blame the economic situation on Bush – there are a lot of factors and looking for a scapegoat doesn’t solve anything.

Susan-1 – your anger is misplaced and I’m not annoyed. I’m not one to tout Bush as a great president who did nothing wrong, but at the same time, I’m also not going to pretend he did nothing right. If you look at the president to solve the problems in this country, you will always be disappointed because the solutions are closer to home.

Proud I’m a realist. There will never be a President that doesn’t do something I don’t agree with. I do not expect to always agree. But I expect a damn national debt to not get doubled in 8 years, I expect not to set off a world wide recession, I expect truth vs. fiction on a damn war, I expect to have my leader show some respect to the other half of the nation regardless of party. Solve all problems? I do not expect that. But I sure as hell don’t expect one to start so many. His foreign policy is the pits, we lost our reputation, etc. Like I said – show me the good. I’ll admit it. I am not seeing it. I think he was absolutely 100% HORRIBLE at this job and ruined my damn country. About the best idea he had was a guest worker program and I wish he’d at least have made that happen. But he could not even do that it seems. When he began to “redefine abortion to include The Pill and IUD?” That was it. Right now? He’s trying to get the local gov. to be able to spy on citizens more. I want him GONE. Now. I have had enough. I am not sure I will ever change my opinion. And my opinion? Well, it’s common. I’m average at this point.

palin4prez – on gun sales – I agree. People are buying guns now because of changes Obama has proposed. But that’s different from the stock market – that’s much more complex and lots of different factors come into play. What are they reacting to? I don’t know. Maybe uncertainty of an Obama administration is one factor, but it’s not the only reason for the DOW to drop.
I agree that raising taxes in a bad economy is a bad idea and I hope that’s one promise Obama doesn’t live up to. We just have to wait and see. I’m hoping for the best, just like you.

Palin whoop do. Like I said, I too know Europe and have lived abroad. You’re kidding yourself if you think everybody in Europe wants to move here. Of course they’re fascinated. What you fail to see is some of the things they do better than we do. Take family. They’re entirely more into “community” vs. us. They’re not as materialistic. We’re just really well off and different and they’re curious. I never said we created all world problems. But right now we sure as hell created a recession and it was not all the fault of a democratic congress. We have created more unrest with our foreign policy. Yes, sometimes we suffer their envy and they’ll spite. But not always. Sometimes we just do things that annoy them outside of our boarders. And sometimes I can see what they are. Take 9-11. When Canada took our planes and Bush spoke to thank the world and left them out intentionally!! THEY were the biggest help that day! I just happen to think the man was absurd with his “bully” approach with foreign policy. And because of it? Recruitment is up. Our own gov. said this. And our military IS weaker. He has worn those boys out. So, if you need to make yourself feel better buying “if they say anything negative it’s always out of envy” have at it. Again, I’m a realist. No nation is that perfect. Most things we do? We do to gain something.

Palin4 – Google. They crunched the number on proposals. McCain came in higher than Obama. They promise everything to run and don’t do half of it anywho. Here’s one on the estate tax: Both major-party presidential candidates, Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama, agree on two things: that the estate tax should not revert back to its pre-2001 state, and that it should not be fully repealed. (A permanent repeal would cost $522 billion in lost tax revenue over the next decade, according to the Treasury Department’s evaluation of President Bush’s 2009 budget proposals.) The candidates also both support indexing the estate tax to accommodate inflation.

Palin4 – “As for the subprime thing, you do not win. I said Bush got caught up in the whole liberal communistic view also of giving everyone a flower and a home for free. The difference is the republican/conservative party doesn’t think like that, the liberal dems do.” Bush did not try to give the minorities a home for free. Again, he tried to promote them getting into homes for the first time. This is exactly like your argument on welfare. You know, “if they work they take more pride?” “Teach them to fish?” What Bush was attempting here is not the problem, and not a bad thing. Reagan and Bush Sr. did it as well. What they did with business and trading was the problem. This was a whole bunch a perfect storm anyway. Greenspan keeping interest rates too low contributed. But I will say it again. Due to what took place in the SEC it created a recession. This is why Palin AND McCain said that a lot of this was the fault of Wall Street.

Women just can’t stand Palin. Please stop showing her face out on the internet for good. Tell her she can dream about running for president in the year of 2012, but GOOD LUCK.

Come on Chewy you got to admit Sarah Palin is as bright as a two watt bulb. To think she is even thinging of running in 2012 come on are the GOP that desperate to believe the American people would even elect her. GOP were not that stupid get someone with some intelligence.

Facts do matter – correction
History of elected FEMALE Governors
20 have been Democrat; 9 Republican

In the best of all worlds, Ms. Palin would go away and be quiet. After all, who remembers Kerry’s VP candidate? She, on the other hand, continues to open her mouth and spew ignorance. I find it difficult to listen to her and impossible to read transcripts of her interviews. Her disjointed manner of speaking, the winking, the idiomatic vocabulary (you betcha!) all are consistent with someone who has ADD or some other behavioral disorder.
I wish I were afraid of her, I just dont’ like her. Has nothing to do with gender, she comes across as an idiot and has yet to convince me otherwise. Y
Yes – please keep on running for 2012!

Palin you’re still on the spin. The tax cuts are for “95% of WORKING Americans.” I know you’re not dumb and know this.
The following you wrote?
Fact2
10% of the highest income earners in all the land pay %70 of the taxes and the bottom 50% of tax earners pay less then 3% pf the tax load. If you ask me it’s time for the bottom 50% to buck up a little more!!……… I am one of them. I find this the most stupid argument to keep the little people down. What it means? That the rich have gotten entirely too much richer while the middle-class has taken a hell of a hit. Progressive has gone on forever and Obama’s percentages were lower than Nixon’s.
***************************************
You got me on the Gore. I find that one a hypocrite hoot myself. Told ya – I’m bi-partisan. Just anti “THESE republicans.” They’re not real republicans. Shhhhhhh Have ya noticed just how “liberal” Bush’s record was? And my problem? The same people surrounded McCain. He sold out.

Real Story – there’s a world of difference between an agreed upon period of indentured servitude and a lifetime of slavery based on race. Get your facts straight.

Erika – The man would pull in 100 thousand without a rock star. And this after ole Hank Williams, Jr? You’re not going to top Obama with her numbers. It is what it is.

It is absurd to suggest Sarah speaks better than Obama. Her speaking is one of her greatest problems. If she has a speech she’s great. If she preps for a debate she does well. Take her off that and it’s impossible to understand her frangmented sentences.

I find her shrill, annoying, and without a clue. She isn’t intelligent. She is just an opportunist. Did she clean up the old boys club in Alaska as she states or just learn her mentors weaknesses and then stab them in the back to further her own career? Frankly, she would be better served trying out for a role in the movie Fargo II, but I hope she does become the Republicans poster child and candidate for 2012. She will then be the gift that keeps on giving.

What is the Republican agenda? All hail the idiot?
My point in case…
Bush – A total idiot who during his life ruined everything he touched.
McCain – Graduated almost at the bottom of his class
Palin – Has almost as difficult a time with english as GWB
It’s fine and dandy wanting to have a beer with someone, but that doesn’t mean they would make a good leader of the country. Enough with stoopid in the Whitehouse. Our country barely survived the last 8 years and we will be digging out for years to come.

catman – If you want to tell yourself some woman that went to five colleges is a thinking person have at it. I’m not jealous of her. I do not like her. My speculation is if she were unattractive you would not either. This is loin thinking. Keeps a man happy? You’re one of those, huh?

again that little girl is not in school, and at least this time she admitted to missing a lot…..what a wonderful mother………….and role model….
