John McCain Says Palin Can Beat President Obama in 2012
ABC’s Jordyn Phelps reports:
As speculation swirls over whether former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will enter the race for the 2012 presidential campaign, former 2008 Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain (AZ) said this morning that he thinks Palin can win in a race against President Obama in 2012.
“Of course, she can,” Senator John McCain made said on “Fox News Sunday” this morning. “She can. Now, whether she will or not, whether she'll even run or not, I don't know.”
McCain’s comments come on the same day that Palin is kicking off a bus tour throughout the northeastern United States. Palin’s bus tour starts from Washington, where Palin is attending a Rolling Thunder motorcycle rally.
McCain went on to qualify his comment, pointing out that a long road lies ahead before the Republican Party settles on a nominee.
“A lot of things happen in campaigns, Chris,” McCain told FOX’s Chris Wallace. “You remember, I was written off a couple of times and were able to come back. So, there's going to be a roller coaster ride for all of them before we finally arrive at our nominee.”
When asked by Wallace about Palin’s lack of popularity among independent voters, McCain said he’s “never seen anyone as mercilessly and relentlessly attacked” as Palin but pointed out that she also inspires many.
“She also inspires great passion, particularly among Republican faithful.” McCain said.

The Liberal media, MSNBC,CBS,ABC and even CNN are far to corrupted and Liberal to ever allow any conservative woman to become president. They make it their business to destroy them. They give Obama a complete free pass on everything but if Sarah for example looks at notes on her hand it is somehow a scandal even if Osama can’t speak without a teleprompter. If they cannot find a scandal for the person then they will attack their children like they did with Sarah Palin’s children. We have a very sick and twisted liberal media in America.

Another demented doddering fool who is living in the world of illusions!! He, who picked the “mistake” of the century as his VP is still trying to justify his monumental error. Hey John, are you still in the world of make-believe, or in a dream? Time to get real man, for it would be a real dream to have your “VP” trounced by anyone on the other side.

However, it’s working for her bank account. She “quit” her day job to “sucker” the people out of their money with her red high heel shoes and short skirts (lol)…No sensible women would ever be taken seriously with a rifle and “red” silettos by serious Americans.

As someone who voted for Obama, but won’t again…. I see no hope in what the GOP is putting out there. God.. there is no way in ####, I could sit and listen to a State of the Union given by Sarah Palin.. that voice grates on my nerves! arggggg I guess I will just have to sit the next one out, the Obama koolaid has run out, it gave me a Hang-over.. and the GOP so far has nothing to offer.

Go Sarah Go. We need a change and this might be it! While I didn’t want her to win and thought she was kind of crazy, due to false press reports and people going for blood I now see she is a wonderful lady. I supported Obama last election as a independent voter but think this country needs to change course. This will be interesting if she runs. I am honestly not sure I would vote for her over Obama but again not so sure I wouldn’t. I hate dirty politics bottomline and it will be a huge turnoff in 2012 should it happen.
Posted by: Steve | May 29, 2011, 12:33 pm 12:33 pm
John McCain is a man who has lost all credibility for making such a rash, reckless statement. This man certainly has memory issues, considering the fact that he lost the election to Obama because of Palin. What I would like to see is the debate between Obama and Sarah Palin. That will a real comedy hour.
Posted by: what667 | May 29, 2011, 12:34 pm 12:34 pm
Palin scares the beejeezus out of dems. That’s why she’s in every democrat newspaper, liberal TV show, and left wing magazine. If they didn’t care about her they’d leave her alone. In all reality the dems are BEGGING for a frontrunner so they can start the attacks. Without a frontrunner the media has to spend too much effort on a large field of folks.
Posted by: afkbrad | May 29, 2011, 12:37 pm 12:37 pm
Yeah, all talk and no action. She quit her gubernatorial position. All she does is criticize the president but comes up with no solutions. Seriously I don’t think they want to win the presidency, they want to keep the house and gain the senate, and guarantee the monies coming to the right wing facists will be 4 and 5 times more than the dems. The ads will hit us 24/7. But people are wising up and are really ticked off. But it will be curious what plans these folks will have to for propaganda. Positive thing, the demographics are changing more as each year passes, new set of young people in 2012.
Posted by: phallon | May 29, 2011, 12:37 pm 12:37 pm
I hope she does run. Then we can watch her get crushed again.
If the stereotype fits, report it. The tea party folx are mostly Republicans that are too proud to admit they are Republicans. Tea Partyers are disaffected Republicans that the GOP is desperate to get back into the fold. That’s why the GOP is paying Palin millions of dollars of your donations to speak on their behalf. Then Republicans prop up Romney like a bait and switch to pull in the Tea Party vote. Don’t get fooled.
People who voted for Republicans are angry right now. The Republican Party has been fooling people into voting for them for decades despite their inability to deliver policies or laws that parallel the wishes of the majority of the constituency. If you are rich people then it makes sense that you would vote for Republicans because they will at any cost fight for the lowering of taxes for rich people, but aside from rich people Republicans do very little to improve the lives of average Americans.
How is it that Republicans get elected at all? What kind of fools would vote for somebody that cares so little for governing?
It seems every cultural position a Republican takes in public is meant to simply intensify and manipulate the emotions of people. Republicans of today are master manipulators of information and, they unfortunately for America, have powerful media corporations and lobbyist behind their cynical displays of misinformation and false hopes of resurrecting battles long lost to reasonable public policy and law.
People often discount our political system as broken but I believe this disputatious. There are huge differences between the Democrats and Republicans. I believe any American given the facts will come to find that Republicans of today have very little in mind when it comes to protecting liberty and justice for the majority in our country despite them using those words more than anybody.
Democrats get my vote for years to come.
For me voting is like driving, vote R to go backwards, vote D to go forwards.

Of course he said this! He’s got to save face – all ten of them. This creature panders to anybody he can get a dime or a good word out of. McCain knows the Narcissist Palin’s evil wrath if he says even a half of a word against her – so he smiles like he’s in extreme pain and says ‘nice’ things about his nose-pick for VP. Two bullies together.

I don’t see the logic in his words. If many people, on both sides of the aisle, do not see Palin as Prez material, how can she even win the nomination, nevertheless the election? She have to win a good percentage of Indies, and if she can’t do that, she will not win.
I lost all respect for McCain. If he thinks Palin can easily beat Obama using the *same* smear-an-fear campaign she used in 2008, she will not win.

William, scribbling something on the palm and reading from the podium is amateurish. It is not a presidential prop. The teleprompter is not Obama’s invention; past presidents have used it for many years. Besides the teleprompter is a decorum for the presidential speech delivery. Just agree that Sarah Palin is neither in a league with Obama nor can stand on the same stage with the president to debate on substantive issues affection the country. Sarah Palin can see all the Russia she wants from her house, she will never be president of the United States. Sorry!

(R) 2012 TIM PAWLENTY-RICK PERRY’s White House: Never mind, Sen. John McCain should know to * REBUILD AMERICA * is a VERY SERIOUS COMMITMENT, NOT a Sarah Palin’s Entertainment to American folks. Sarah Palin has NEVER complete her Governorship in Alaska; Republicans, TEA Party and American Independents DON’T want to see Sarah Palin’s irresponsibility to the United States of America, plus her daughter’s messy affairs to leave any subject of ridicule to implicate Republican Party’s 2012 chances to ** REBUILD AMERICA **. An old man like US Sen. John McCain, once McCain has time, he should spend time to fundraising to use Arizona’s desert-wastelands to grow our Texas A&M University’s developed Sorghum-derived Formula E10 Ethanol Aviation Fuel. Sen. McCain should raise couple million$ dollar to decorate and remodel our retired USS Kitty Hawk aircraft career to use for “College of Marine-Biology & Biological Pharmacy” of Texas A&M University-Kitty Hawk, will contract with Northrop Grumman Ship systems, Pascagoula, Mississippi to do the decoration and remodeling classrooms, labs, and facility. The Texas A&M University-Kitty Hawk will dock at Sabah’s Sandakan of East Malaysia’s Sulu Sea. We expected ExxonMobil, USA will use A&M-Kitty Hawk to research Pacific Ocean’s Sea Weed to produce the high quality Aviation Bio-fuel.

Oh, William, please. Obama has been given a free pass? Seriously? The left attacks him for not being progressive enough…all the time! I know this fairy tale of the liberal media attacking Palin plays right into her hands, but it is a fairy tale. She does and says ridiculous things. SHE puts her kids on display, lets them sign up for reality shows, including hers, and then whines if they get negative publicity. The people who will never support a conservative woman are the GOP puppeteers. Did you hear them whining about Megan Kelly’s maternity leave this week? That did not come from the left, buddy…that came from your women hating Fox broadcasters.

Here’s what the inside polls of the Dem Party know, as of right now, Obama is thee most beatable dem incumbent President since Jimmy Carter! The dems can’t escape that fact. This is why they focus their fire on Palin, because of what she did in the 2008 election and how much she rejuvinated the Republican candidate who showed no desire to win. Obama is a loser! He can’t run on his record, so he’s already positioned hismelf as the victim, thje underdog, just waiting to play the inevitable race card AGAIN. But it won’t work, Americans have had a belly full of his arrogance, attitude and high living, lecturing while doing nothing but producing jobless #’s that rival FDR’s 2 full term Great Depression in just 2 years! More foreclosures, bankruptcies and people reduced to poverty levels, more on Food Stamps than ever in our history! The dems know they tied their future to a loser now and they can’t figure a way out! Tough love is tough luck for the dems!

folks – regarding Palin. The American people will never forget that Sarah Palin was a one term governor of Alaska who quit that job before that one term was over. She has no chance of overcoming that personal failure and becoming president. She also has no chance of remaining succesful at hiding that fact that she lied to everyone about being Trig’s mother. You think Obama’s birth certificate was an issue – there are liberal media types salivating already to make the Trig Palin birth certificate an issue.
But, those facts aside, I hope like hell she gets the republican nomination.
Obama 2012 and, after that, for US Supreme Court.

The harm that has been done was committed by Bush/Cheyney. I noticed you were not specific about what harm you think was done by Obama. My guess is, whatever you name can be directly linked to the previous administration. Too bad none of our politicians are governing for the people any more. If we had policies that encouraged more employees earning more money many of our issues would be resolved. We would then have more money for the IRS to bring down the debt and more people with money to spend to grow the economy. Instead corporations and the super rich have bought our government and their goal is to grab all the profits and distribute it to the top level management and the investors. The people who actually do the work are squeased for every expense and never share in the benefits.

It was “we the people” who ELECTED Obama, by a wide margin, over McCain and the bimbo from Wasila. Deal with it. Those of us who voted for Obama DID ‘take the country back’ from the Cons who drove it into the toilet…..

It really doesn’t matter who runs against Obama. He’s out. 2010 ousted Pelosi and 2012 will oust Obama.
Reminds me of my state elections and the liberals all “knowing” they will win the justice election, when reality says otherwise. The liberal was kicked to the curb.
I don’t care who kicks Obama out of office this year. I just hope after my state is corrected from years of liberal abuse, that Walker becomes president and corrects this country.
Walker 2020!!!
Tick tock liberals. The silent majority is waking up! And when they do, you will be nothing other than a footnote. BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

This is exactly what is wrong in US politics. Everything is a political game for the politician. Logic, it seems means nothing to the political body…. “Win” at all costs seems to be the continuious nature of politics. Its been really difficult for me over the years to understand the insatiable need for power in our society. The American politician seems to have no sense of fairness… of logical outcomes. It seems that power and their place in history is all they really care about… we live under a strange system these days. I’d bet that the Founding Fathers didnt have such nonsense in mind.

First, I se there’s another Raven here. Just to be clear, it’s not me…this is my 1st post on this thread.
Secondly, the idea that “dems” (or liberals/progressives in general) are SCARED of Palin in a joke. We WOULD be scared, nay TERRIFIED, if we thought she had a chance in hell of WINNING, but we don’t.
She destroyed any chances McCain had to win by pandering to the lunatic fringe and alienating moderate, mainstream Republicans and Indies..the woman is ticket poison.
Fact is, the Republicans are in a bind…if they run an extremist to appeal to the religious far right, their moderate core will defect in droves. If they don’t, the fringers will defect and vote for third party candidates in enough numbers to doom the GOP ticket. I love it!
The reason there are still no viable candidates is that they KNOW they can’t beat Obama. No-one serious is willing to go through the effort and expense of a run only to fail. If Obama looked even halfway vulnerable, the field would be overflowing with contenders at this point.
I would LOVE to see Palin (or Trump or Bachman) run just to see any of them go head to head in a debate with Obama. Good Lord, it would be a BLOODBATH!

Johnny is ensuring the reelection of Obama so that he can ensure no change but a continuity of his gravy train. The Republican party seems like bunch of lost sheep of people lining up to loose to Obama or chickening out for not wanting to loose to Obama. In my humble opinion there is just one Republican senator who has a somewhat decent chance at defeating Obama and that is Scott Brown of Massachusetts. He seems quiet because his former governor Mitt the has run before Romney has thrown his hat in the race. Scott Brown is a centrist, sensible Republican who will act forcibly to reduce the deficit by leaps and bounds and is the only Republican who could fight the odds of Obama’s reelection.

Obama, and Democrats, would be glad to have her. Bring her on! It is easy to talk glibbly in the hypothetical–because no will will ever know, or prove it. Of course, McCain made a serious error of judgment nominating Palin as his running mate. He wouldn’t ever admit this–in public. Privately? Quite another matter. We can get glimpses of his true feeling through what his daughter has been saying about palin in public. Therefore, the palin charade goes on. This holiday weekend in Washington, she goes straight, to the chagrin of the organizers of Rolling Thunder,to the front area where the media is gathered, instead of simply joining the ride at the back showing it is all for publicity, and for the survival of her PAC which keeps her supplied with living expenses and travel money. Stories about Palin in Washington is another useless pre-occupation by lazy journalists ever giving unwarranted publicity to a publicity-crazy human who will never become the nominee of the Republican Party or the President of the United States. What a waste of ink , space and time! W’s mom said it best, that she should stay in Alaska, a place she says she loves so much. But then again, she wouldn’t be getting the publicity and money she craves. So she buys into Arizona’s crazy politics as well as its real estate. That is perhaps the only other place in America Sarah Palin would feel comfortable to live in, her kind of place. What with all the crazy things being done there against Latinos and other immigrants who are being made to feel they are second class citizens. W’s mom said it best. But Palin will keep showing up to keep her PAC alive, thus she will keep collecting money to pay for travels and living expenses. It is a con job, and no one is prosecuting any politician for this! It is exactly how Newt Gingrich lives.

What BULL Jack! We don’t want one that has such a past as she does and WE want a SMART one that didn’t have to attend 6 college for a 4 year degree!!! That’s YOUR choice if you choose the wrong woman too vote for. We also want a strong law abiding woman as well… Well, here is the latest from citizen ethics watchdog Andree McLeod.
Another ethics complaint aimed at holding Sarah Palin accountable has been filed with the Attorney General’s office by Anchorage resident and registered Republican Andrée McLeod. The document charges that Governor Palin has violated the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act for failure to submit completed and signed gift disclosure forms claiming gifts received by her and her family as specified by law.
“Governor Palin intentionally and willfully broke the Ethics Act by not claiming gifts timely, if at all,” McLeod said.
The Ethics Act is exceedingly and simply clear in that officials MUST claim gifts within 30 days of receipt. Yet, Sarah Palin states in a June 15th letter, “There are boxes of unopened mail at this point, even mail that was delivered in 2008. Thus, as initially disclosed, ‘we continue to open boxes’ and we consider any parcel “received” at the time it is opened.”
“The governor’s statement sets off alarms. Alaskans expect their public officials to follow the rules of law; especially the ones that are intended to keep them honest,” McLeod said. “Instead this woman admits to having no intention of complying with our laws.”
McLeod continues, “What possible reason is there for Palin to keep all these gifts a secret for so long? Why has she not disclosed them by the book now before quitting? ”

WallyG: “Here’s what the inside polls of the Dem Party know, as of right now, Obama is thee most beatable dem incumbent President since Jimmy Carter! The dems can’t escape that fact.”
Not a fact, actually. Obama is one of the most popular presidents in the last several decades. His highest to date approval rating of 69% is 9 points higher than REAGAN’S highest ever. His AVERAGE approval rating to date is higher than Reagan’s average of 53%. Obama’s approval rating was 60% as recently as THIS MONTH. Notice how people are just tripping over themselves to run against him? LOL.
.”..doing nothing but producing jobless #’s that rival FDR’s 2 full term Great Depression in just 2 years!”
Again, not facts. To date, we’ve had 28 straight months of private sector job growth…more private sectors jobs were created in 2010 ALONE than in 8 YEARS under Bush.
FDR, like Obama, INHERITED a depression brought on by 8 years of REPUBLICAN rule characterized by tax cuts for the rich and big business, deregulation, reckless speculation, union-busting and corruption.
His policies of economic/jobs stimulus, Social Security and Medicare and regulation of Wall St. and the banks put the nation on the path to the recovery. Roosevelt is consistently rated by scholars as one of the top three U.S. Presidents.
I swear, it’s like you people live on some other planet, one with an alternate history or something.

Searambler, the conservatives in Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida and Indiana are finding out that putting in more government, spending money, and not living up to anything they promised on the way to their recent political wins, have seen pushback, not seen in our country in over 30 yeras.
Is the money being spent to do away with abortions adding to the deficit or reducing it.
Mandating women watch movies, listen to preachers, not allowing abortions after the 5th week. Essentially the time a women would first find out she might be pregnant, is this behavior MORE government or less governmet.

Besides I hear from those in Alaska that Todd makes all the decisions for her so do we want this? Not me. She can do more harm than Obama has done. he thinks things out that is how he caught Osama Bin Laden after Bush decided not to pursue him saying I don’t care where he is..this from the president who said right after 9/11 we will get him and then called off the forces looking for him. Obama said..we will get him and we will kill him…and he did. I really don’t think I could stand Sarah speaking more than ten seconds as her voice grates on me and to think some think she is qualified saddens me. We already had 8 years of someone doing nothing even after receiving a surplus. This surplus soon turned into a recession which is not Obama’s doing but the reps like to blame him for it.

She has no chance of winning the GOP nomination. This is truly a waste of GOP time and & money. I am embarrassed and ashamed to live in this country if she is the best the GOP can put up.. #reagan

McCain – Still Senile in 2012
Posted by: Construction Guy | May 30, 2011, 12:07 am 12:07 am
This is John’s way of saying that Palin is unfit for
president he is using reverse psychology so that she
can take an even worse beat down in 2012.
POSTED BY: MYOPINIONPAL*********************
This is interesting, that Pres.Obama’s and Mccain
were running neck to neck until she came under
the spotlight. At that point the campaign started
to unravel. Maybe he wants her under the bus,
like what she did to him.

Sarah Palin would make a fine president.I guess she will run and announce it soon.
Good luck Sarah!

She can’t win, nobody takes her seriously. If she runs Obama will surely win.

Of course McCain would say Palin could beat Obama. He doesn’t want to show his ineptness in picking her as his VP candidate in ’08. I don’t think she caused him to lose in 2008. He managed that alone. But picking Palin was the final odd display of ‘rougue’ that did his campaign in. Would he say any thing but she would win against Obama? Others stated they could beat Obama…but few are entering the race officially. Oddly it required a sharp turn to right wing politics to draw the Tea Party votes to keep his senate seat in Arizona in 2010…and now his political power and reputation are sadly tarnished. He’s all over the map, ideaology speaking. If not for his stand against torture, he would be a sad, dull senator in a small cast of brilliant statesmen.

Still Crazy after all these years, huh, John,this woman whom you only picked because you thought she was hot disrespected you left and right and then rubbed your nose in it. and to the idiot who said Palin scares the hell out of Democrats…Ummm NOPE! We want her to run in fact to any Dems out there you want to help Obama? Send Palin money to run!She can’t sound intelligent when she gives a speech,she can’t finish a job when she starts it (Governor)she’ll screw things up and leave before her first term is finished.

Obama has shown you can actually be worse then a bushie. I don’t see how you can get any worse so I for one will not vote for him again….
Posted by: Will | May 30, 2011, 3:21 am 3:21 am
So, McCain is saying the reason they didn’t beat Obama in 2008 is because HE was running with Palin. I think McCain would have had a shot if he hadn’t brought Palin on board, but obviously he thinks he was the one that everybody hated. He needs to go back on his meds and beg forgiveness for bringing that joke into our lives in the first place.
Posted by: misskari | May 30, 2011, 4:21 am 4:21 am
Hope she does run. She would assure a Dem victory. Would love to see her in a serious debate. Anyone remember her interview with Katie Couric? Come on, John — people actually thought you might have something–that is until you chose her as VP.
Posted by: Sara | May 30, 2011, 7:35 am 7:35 am
What damage has Obama done? I hear that from right-wingers all the time. Compared to your HERO W, Obama is GREAT! I can’t say that I agree with everything he has done or proposed, but he is a far cry better than Bush. And Palin standing up for America… like she did for Alaska I guess… remember she QUIT HER JOB AS GOVERNOR so she could be a Fixed News GOP mouthpiece.

Palin is typical of far-right conservatism in the U.S. today: loudly hyper-critical of all actions by the current democratic administration but without putting forward any solutions to our problems, with the exception of their tired old mantra of cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations.
Posted by: Lydia | May 30, 2011, 9:31 am 9:31 am
Be Serious..do you dislike Obama enough to elect Sarah Palin..remember its for 4 years, do you know what she can do to the country in 4 years..be sure of what you ask for.Look what the 2010 election did to the working class and the middle class..

Disappointed in you…it could happen with all the steps the republicans have taken lately to control who votes and with all the money by the Koch brotherss and other so called conservative groups wanting to control this world for their own good. Personally I would want anyone but her. This egomaniac will have Todd making decisions and we don’t know enough about him but what we do….we don’t like.

McCain claims Palin will clean O’Bama’s clock”
McCain, (who ran with Palin to aresounding defeat), is certainly taking a moment out of his busy ‘Presidential’ schedule to remind us all of what a great president he isn’t!
I fervernetly hope ALL current republican candidates, declared and undeclared, (particularly, the evengelical-crazy, tparty-loony, and/or ‘just-plain-moronic/intolerant’, fight it out via the media/amongst themselves, with the (temporary) winner(s) of that amusing, (but otherwise, irrevelent), contest goin’ head-to-head with B. O’Bama, 2012.
Post slaughter…
On inauguration day, the media will show Mr. O’Bama, reciting his 2nd. oath of office!
MAYBE the republicans will finally realise what an absolute disaster the culture war / ‘more pious then thou’ crap was/is/will always be…
for their party as well as humanity in general…
Then, the republicans can get out of our wombs, our bedrooms & our matrimonional plans!
It’s WAY past due to expel the ‘Harrold Camping’ portion of the party…
for ‘conduct, unbecoming an American’!
I hate to be SO sarcastic, but…
unless someone U-tube-videos Mr. O’Bama messing with his daughters, &/or, stomping Michelle, (or gettin’ drunk & fallin’ off the W.H. roof), he IS going to be reelected.
Anyone seconding a motion to encourage republicans to hurry up and get past their impersonation of Nagasaki, (…post B-29), once and for all?!

Obama will get a 2nd term as President, because the conservative base is weak. You got the Progressive Liberals vs. Colonialist Conservatives. Both parties have the same agenda, which is to usher in the Old World Order (they term as the New World Order). The United States Government is a model of the Roman Empire, and both the Progressive Liberals and Colonialist Conservatives will continue this model. The Romans taxed the hell out of its citizens just like the U.S. Government. The Romans had the mightiest military in the world just like the U.S. Government. The Romans invaded and occupied Afrika just like the U.S. Government invaded and currently occupy parts of Afrika and West Asia. The institution of slavery brought the Romans great wealth. The United States (formerly the American, British, Portuguese, Spanish, French colonies) got filthy rich off the European Slave Trade and the stocks of Afrikan slaves that were kidnapped out of Afrika.
The Romans have re-emerged in the so-called conservative party. They aren’t Judeo-Christian conservatives. They are colonialists/imperialists just like the Romans who invented the mythical Jesus and Christianity in the First Century C.E.

I don’t get it. With Sarah Palin’s education, she couldn’t even get a job teaching high school in many states. Yet people would actually vote for this woman who can’t even discuss Supreme Court decisions. Michele Bachmann was in Concord NH and thought “the shot heard round the world” was in NH, and she’s even smarter than Palin. We’re getting to be the dumbest nation on Earth.

Amanda: What harm has Obama done, and when has he not stood up for America.
Sometimes you anti-Obama people are genuine fools.
As for Palin, bring her on. She is a self-inflating, publicity-seeking, ignorant creep, who will sell out to the first person who flatters her ego or whom she can somehow exploit, like that poor sucker Joe the Plumber.

I would never vote for Mrs Palin , she is only a good looking face . the way she paraded her 16 year old single pregnant daughter all over the country turned me off. to run a country one has to be able to think on their feet and have some value … just claiming to be born again does not do it for me . No way would I ever vote for her
Posted by: Nyberg | May 31, 2011, 2:16 pm 2:16 pm
I do not understand how the librel media and the democrats can critize Sarah Palin. After all, one of the first things on Obama’s agenda has been
to ship wreck our country’s finances and
continues to do so today with his continious donating money to countries that are not our friends. He has gone around the world apologizing for our country. I could go on and on with the things that has shown me, that he has our country best interest at heart.
Sarah Palin proved she could do a great job in Alaska, has proven that she is patriotic and as far as I am concerned she could be a Joan of Arc for our country. We do not need smooth talkers, we need people who can walk the walk.

McCain showed his senility when he chose Palin to run for vice president ot america…McCain lost it in the war… Palin is not the problem it is any person with the lack of intelligence or common sense that thinks palin would be good for our USA… they are ignorant at their very best…If the the republicans even nominate her much less if she were to win GOOC BYE AMERICA, WE ARE LOST.

I want her to run for the presidency on the Republican ticket, and in so doing President Obama will win overwhelmingly! She didn’t even know that Africa was a continent. Wonder where she thinks Egypt and Libya are? Can she still see Russia from her kitchen window? By now, is she able to identify just one major newspaper that she reads? She is dumb as can be and could not sit with any world dignitary and conduct a meaningful dialogue. She wouldn’t have the slightest idea what they are even talking about, but she would repeat a rehearsed answer for everything. LET HER WIN THE NOMINATION, PLEASE!

Palin should run! It will give Obama a wind-swept victory. Most people don’t like her..don’t like that she is NOT raising her children in a home…that she is so ignorant to “running” anything but her tours..that she is a quiter..that the values she runs on can’t even be held in her family…and no one wants “her” to go down in the history books as the first woman president, because she will NOT represent women’s issues, she will represent Christian issues(who are NOT a majority in our country)…She just needs to HARLEY out of the country…

Sarah Palin cant even beat obama president, her personality is real aggressive to other candidates, she is trying to find her ways to get rid of President obama. Definitively President Obama always win the presidency, and where her intelligence is absent. I bet all fools voted for Palin but I doubt that she will win.

The Repoblicans do nothing but put down everything Obama tries to do, and I notice they complain that he hasn’t done anything to create jobs. They won’t approve the spending of any money to create jobs. It can’t be done without investing money to do it. I notice, also, that the Republicans haven’t put forward any suggestions that would create jobs, either.

It was a Republican President (Lincoln) that freed the slaves, it was a Republican President that put teeth into affirmative action (Nixon) it was the Republican President that got us out of Vietnam (Nixon)It was a Republican President that lowered income tax rates (Ronald Reagan Economic Recovery Act of 1981) It was a Republican President that signed into law the medicare Prescription Drug act (Bush). These are just a example of the good our Republican Presidents have accomplished for our nation.
