Dowd on Palin: Not Ready to Run in 2012?

How can she lose her credibility if she never had any!

Palin’s more suited to selling Avon than she’ll ever be to Washington politics.

I’ve been writting for months…that this woman is “bilking” the “not so bright” supporters to merely pad her bank account while she speak “fear and hate”. Sarah has learned one thing…that ignorance is based on “fear”, and she can capitalize on it. The “not so bright” supporters thought she was a “bit brighter” than them and Sarah ran all the way to the bank. Sarah also knew that she isn’t the brightest bulb on the lamp and opted out for a Reality Show….she’s a User!!!

It amazes me that a nobody can come from nowhere and be lifted up by a bunch of crazies and these same crazies make her a millionaire in two short years! The twist is that she cares nothing for the crazies (except their money, of course!) Now she’s set to make more money off you! Your stars are aligned, Barbie. Milk them for all they have!!

And he realy thought Obama was ready to run. Palin the Govenor of a state who got maoney back to its people is not ready? Guess if your a neighborhood activist and need the dog catcher that makes you a president? Or if you listen to a radical preacher that will qualify you too.

Palin may or may not be ready, but we know Obama wasn’t (and still isn’t) ready!

“Why do we want a quitter in Washington.”
Van Jones is a quitter. Obama didn’t even finish his first term as a US Senator. Ask them.

Its not going to take 500 years to reach national idiocy as depicted in the movie “Idiocracy”. Already we have a national political figure (Palin) who will be a part of junk television, speculated to move on to a presidential run. John McCain may go down as the most destructive presidential candidate ever by introducing the gold-digger Palin to America.

A reality show about Palin and her family? I think not. NOTHING about Sarah Palin (or her supporters) can be twisted enough to remotely resemble reality.

STOP LYING ABC. This is not a reality show. This is what it is:
Burnett, one of TV’s busiest producers best known for his “Survivor” series on CBS, said he approached the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate with the idea. It will be shot in the style of Discovery’s “Planet Earth” show, feasting on the natural beauty of the state where Palin was governor.
What it’s not is a reality show following her around, getting up in the morning or her family and all the salacious stuff,” he said.
So, in Palin’s words, STOP MAKING THINGS UP.

Palin has 100 times more executive experience then our current socialist president, she just didn’t have the ridiculous adoration of the left wing media to protect/endorse her as he did.
It’s just too bad that so many Americans know absolutely nothing about the people they elect, and they simply believe what the “main stream media” tells them.
Just remember that the same people who are constantly telling us how dumb and unqualified Palin is are the same band of idiots who also told us all last year how brilliant, transparent, earth shattering, and non-partisan obama is.
When in reality, obama is nothing other the the brain child of chicago’s corrupt political system, which he was so deeply entrenched with that without the media’s protection he would have never made even made it past the primaries. Obama has more criminal friends then al capone, and most of the obamabots have never even heard of them.

“Palin has 100 times more executive experience then our current socialist president…”
Just because you have “experience” doesn’t mean you have brains. Just because you have brains does not mean you can govern well. As for Palin the results are in. As for Obama, it still remains to be seen.

I agree, it IS time to get the career politicians, and those who’ve been bought and paid for by special interest groups, out of Washington.
But that would mean that Americans would actually have to do their homework about candidates, and what they stood for, prior to the elections. Candidates wouldn’t have millions of dollars to fund their campaign.
It does no good to vote out an incumbent if you’re just going to replace him with another corporate/special interest puppet. And frankly, I question whether most Americans are willing to spend the time it takes to actually check out who is financing “their” candidate’s campaign.
For example: if anybody actually still thinks Mrs. Sarah Palin is even remotely qualified to lead this country, they aren’t willing to look past what “the money” wants them to see.

LOL! Do some of you right-wingers or Palinites realize that the person who is giving these opinions is MATTHEW Dowd and NOT Maureen Dowd? Once again the ignorance and lack of comprehension skills of many of your ilk has been proven.

Not ready to run ever.

ABC obviously has no interest in reporting the facts (BIG surprise). Palin was on FoxNews last night setting the record straight about the rumors, yet ABC still reported the blatantly false rumors this morning, with no indication that she disputes their statements. This is typical of network news’ portrayal of Palin and other conservatives.

Nope Dave. Actually moving to Paris. I’ll continue to read about your antics and rants on ABCNews from a safer, and more serene place.

Dave You are absolutely right!

This story was debunked almost 24 hours ago…why hasn’t ABC printed a retraction?
Sarah Palin is working on documentary that will highlight the geography and wild-life and natural beauty of Alaska.
This documentary will having nothing to do with her family.

Jaylah: You’re exactly right. Most voters will rely on just one TV commercial, run as a political slur, to decide on who to vote for. For a very high percentage of Americans, informing themselves requires reading, and unfortunately most won’t exert enough energy to exercise their bodies, much less their brains by reading. Corporate owned media preys upon these individuals by spouting their propaganda on TV as it’s easy for these lazy Americans to watch TV.`

Mytake- How about you let the time I lived in europe and my extensive experiences with the disgusting hosptitals speak for themselves.

You are aware that Palin cleaned house of corrupt politicians when she became governor, right? She didn’t care if they were republican or democrat, she fired many and others even got jail sentences because of her unwillingness to cover for them. She sold the private jet, fired the private chef, and refused the governor’s car. In other words, she campaigned against political excesses and actually stuck to her word.
This is why both the republican and democrat establisments hated her there, and the people loved her (90% approval rating when mccain picked her).
Conversely, obama crawled out the most politically corrupt city in America, without ever speaking out against the corruption, and you are okay with this?
He used the corruption and slimebags like rev racist, bill ayers, tony rezko, rashid khalidi, louie farrakhan to get ahead.
As I have said before, if only 200 reporters landed in chicago instead of wasilla to investigate, America would not have the chicago socialist as president.

“My question to the liberal left world , when is obama going to be ready for president, NEVER”
Silly question John. Whether you thought him ready or not is now moot. The FACT is Mr. Obama IS the President of the United States.

Who is Dowd?

“It amazes me that a nobody can come from nowhere and be lifted up by a bunch of crazies and these same crazies make her a millionaire in two short years!”…kind of like Obama?

Why are the Democrats, the Liberal Media and Dowd “so afraid” of Governor Sarah Palin; stating that she isn’t ready to run for Presdient in 2012..yet these same fools said nothing about Senator Barack Obama being unqualified to run for president in 2008? Obama’s weak leadership and no real experience is why today our country’s economy and foreign plocies are a disaster and Obama is running around the world apologzing for the United States. Governor Palin is more qualified then the 1st term U.S. Senator from Illinois who only won because he was black.

jim and dave…you two are cracking the rest of us up with your references to maureen dowd. just proves what we’ve always suspected: you don’t read the articles or watch the clips…

Peter Smith…I would hope that you are either being “facetious” with Palin and the President comparison OR you are hoping for someone to lose their cool and start calling you name. I won’t do that. But if you are “serious” with your post, I would seriously question your rationality and common sense. And I would understand completely what is wrong with our national political spectrum.

: JaylahPriest You are so right Palin is a religious cult leaders. I am waiting to hear she wants her homes to be tax free as religious places,far fetched I don’t think so

Sarah Palin accomplished pretty much all of the goals she set for herself when she ran for Governor of Alaska. She left the state in much better financial shape than she found it, with a steadier and more transparent income stream from oil and gas royalties, and nearly 10 billion dollars in a rainy-day fund. This alone is far more than the pathetic loser Obama can claim, before or after he was elected. He stinks of failure already.
Palin was such a threat to the Obama agenda that she was targeted for the most vicious Saul Alinsky style lawfare by George Soros and his minions. They tried to personally bankrupt her lower middle class family with baseless ethics complaints, ALL of which have now been dismissed. She made a shrewd move and I don’t think one bit less of her for resigning to carry on the battle against Obamaism by different methods.
Get ready to say “Madame President”. She is going to make your lives miserable for the next forty years.

CND FOX
Obama did win because he was black. Actually, he was the “first clean, articaluate black man to run for president”
He had ZERO experience at the executive level. Other then aligning himself with some of the worst people in chicago’s pay to play system and marching with ACORN, his credentials were pretty sad. Oh, he was also the most liberal senator per voting record last year- and the leftwwing media actually called him a moderate!
Liberal democrats always used race to divide people. They have always stood for the 4 S’s- slavery, secession, segregation, socialism.
Obama is the product of rev racist’s sermons that he listended to for 20 years, which is why he hates America and capitalism.

Maureen Dowd is the one who diminishes her own status as a professional journalist by her continuing snobby, condescending and foolish attacks on a woman whose integrity and class far outshine whatever shreds of credibility Ms. Dowd has remaining to her!

Um, Jim… I know Maureen Dowd was never a beauty queen like Palin, but that’s MATTHEW DODD speaking, NOT Maureen.

Not that I am a Palin supporter, but compared to dumBO and his lack of experience doing anything but lying stealing, and promoting socalism. I would vote for Palin in a heartbeat!

Palin is 10 times better than Obama! she was a mayor before she got elected as the governor of Alaska…. Obama was a community organizer of at least 100+ people. hahahaha….
No executive experience for Obama and He is qualified??? what a joke? whats wrong with people who think that Palin is not qualified? Blind and brainless voters I guess…. I’m a naturalized Citizen and yet I very much understood the dirty politics of the United states…

dave…I cannot even begin to honor your 2:45 post with any comment at all.

I hope she does well just keep her out of office. She was quite funny on the Tonight Show. Maybe she should be a comedian. Rush make alot of money doing it.

graymatter…lol…lol…being a “naturalized ” citizen I will excuse your question of “why we do not think she is ‘qualified’” by explaining it this way. In America, we listen to what the politician says in their speeches to help determine that attribute. Having said that, have you ever heard this moron try to speak? And then try to make sense of what she said? She is a “comedy routine” on her own because “she is the joke”!

Not ready to run in 2012? She wasn’t ready to serve in 2009!
With her logic, IF she were ever to be president, she would quit in the last year of the term to avoid being a lame duck.

Jonn, Scruce, Christine, Mytakeonthis 61, Bernie, and Jim Bob–the not-quite ready-for the Algonquin-Round-Table political savants who are so prescient they put a guy in the white house who, despite having the virtually unlimited powers and resources of the State Department at his disposal couldn’t, during sensitive diplomatic talks with the Russians, even get the word “Reset” right.
Yeah, you guys sure know the game, don’t you.
In your own way your each Willy Loman: soul-sick, individuals seething at the success of others because it’s almost a lock you’ve not come close to the dreams of your spent youths.
“Attention must be paid.”
It might as well be tattooed on your foreheads.

Van Jones is a quitter. Obama didn’t even finish his first term as a US Senator. Ask them.

Actually, being elected to a hgher office is not quitting your position. Palin turned her back on her constituents and walked away but feel free to spin either incident as you please but while you’re doing it understand that most of us realize you can spin stupidity and saying Obama didn’t finish his term etc etc is simply put……..STUPID!!!!

I am just going to love turning on my computer and going online the morning after the election in 2012 if Sarah Palin decides to run for the presidency and wins! All of you Palin haters will be acting like a bunch of spoiled bratty two year olds having tantrums because you didn’t get your way! You’ll be whining and crying and kicking and screaming. We Republicans, though, will be treating you the way you’ve been treating us since last November. We’ll be laughing and making fun of you and saying to you what you’ve been saying to us for the last seventeen months! Our turn is coming beginning with the 2010 elections this fall!

If you think Sarah is unqualified, you have to know that Obama is even less so.

I love all the sexist comments on this blog. I thought this country was ready for a female President, even one who speaks with an accent.

JinVgirl…I will not knock your “eloquence”; however, you are eloquent in a very misinformed way. Time will tell if you or I are right. Again, if I were you, I would NOT hold my breath. I know what upsets people like you. It is CHANGE. And that is what this President is going to do. Change things for the better (meaning a better balanced playing field for the middle class). And the sad part is that you are probably in that same socioeconmic category as I am. But you are programmed to think against yourself – and you can’t or won’t see that.

We can all hope she gets a reality show that comes on late night so we don’t to watch or listen to her . Palin like Bill O’Reilly have a grandious personality and are totally into themselves . She could care less about Politics and is using the media to get where she wants to go as far as making money .You have to be smarter than a fifth grader to be presidnet . We have already gone through 8yrs of a presidency where the person in office was not very smart and the VP ran the WH . There are plenty of learned qualified democrats and repubs that can run for office in 8yrs. Just please , stop covering every word and move she makes . It makes her head bigger than it is already . she thought her fair looks would get into the WH , but the american people had other ideas.
