The only ones who should dislike Palin are the liberals.
TINA FEY needs all the work she can get!
I'll take Romney. We'll be ready for someone who understands money, recovery, and health care. He also understands the Constitution, just in case it is hanging by a thread at that point.
Ummm, no. I'm a very conservative Republican who absolutely abhors Palin. C'mon, the lady is as dumb as a rock.
Only reason she was picked as a running mate was to try to take the female vote away from Obama, It was McCain's only shot...hoping a large bloc of Clinton supporters would flock over to Palin.
My worst fear was that McCain would win and then a heart attack or assasination would leave Palin in charge.
The Republican party is in BIG trouble when it has half-wits like Palin and hate-mongers like Limbaugh as the two main voices.
All Blue except Utah, Georgia, and West Virginia. A pretty map indeed.
Mrs. Palin was the only politician to stand up for traditional American values. Mr. Obama misrepresented his agenda. Mr. McCain tried to pretend that he held conservative values. Mr. Bidden sold his soul for a spot on the ticket with the very man that he vilified during his own campaign. Mrs. Palin, alone, spoke as a true American who wasn't ashamed of her principles and wasn't ashamed to voice them.
Good for her. May she excel in everything that she does - including seeking higher office.
Like the media controls the thoughts of people... hmmmphhhhhh we all have free agency and the majority see Palin as a bad choice or in the words of my son, "She's Lame".
I do hope that the Republicans do field the strongest candidates available to run in 2012 because as citizens of the United States of America we should have the best choices out there.. McBush and Palin weren't it last go round...
Now go back out and kill a moose....
Sarah needs all the "sanctimoneous" help she can muster. PLEASE APPLY.
obtw:
When all the RIGHT-WING-NUT-JOBS start signing their names to the venom they spew, the rest of us will follow their self-righteous lead.
RIP.
If we are going to have a link to the previous Administration then all I can say is Go Jeb Go!
Liberalism's true colors. Mysogynists, bigoted, empty headed losers.
//I love Sarah Palin, she's not captive to anyone, not McCain, not the GOP, she's so darn independent. What a breath of fresh air a confident mother is, especially when compared to the stodgy, Washington fuddy-duddies who just need to be thrown out.//
She's not captive to Ray Bradbury novels. I'd bet she was, is, & will never be anything more than a figurehead for the Evangelical Right.
Let's be honest; They needed to tutor Sarah on what was happening in the real world and then only let her appear w/ yet another tool of the GOP establishment i.e. Pretty Boy Sean.
Wait a minute; I'm the prize and the little lady is the breadwinner.
Bring Down Obama.
Stop Abortion.
It does not have to be in that order.
Hey Alaskan - the media didn't make her out to be an idiot but she did give them fuel for the fire. Come on, there is truly nothing that she could offer as VP. He didn't defend his religion, a main issue for him, when he has the opportunity and his understanding of money and recovery is to takeover failing companies, get rid of a lot current employees and then resell (sounds like what happened with GM and Chrysler).
Arizona - stop dreaming about Romney he is just not right for this job.
[25] years since Ms. Geraldine Ferraro was the dem. candidate for vice president, last year since Ms. Hillary Clinton was [a] dem. candidate for Pres. and this is all we have to show for the way Americans [respect and value] female political leaders. Where is the progress?
Instead of using valid arguments to challenge her [Ms. Palin] leadership idealogies, skills, the american taliban (IE: msDNC, letterman, national dnc) uses libel/slander and ethic complaints to log jam any social progress to take place in gov't. [Thus the resignation]. But what is more tragic, they have no respectful sense when it comes to cracking jokes about a '[female] political leaders' children. Where is the [progress] Ms. Ferraro and other's have fought so hard for for decades?
This hogwash about anything goes in politics is socially damaging and extremely divisive which is what the social dems used to get power in the first place. [Unsubstantiated] Ethic complaint them right out of office.
Don't see too much social progress [CHANGE] mr. president!
Bye.
1) They are gearing up for a higher political position, or
2) They have done something wrong and the media just hasn't sniffed it out yet.
Either way for Palin, the story ends with her humiliated and back home in Wasilla.
"As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where— where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border." --Sarah Palin, explaining why Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience, interview with CBS's Katie Couric, Sept. 24, 2008
"[T]hey're in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom." --Sarah Palin, getting the vice president's constitutional role wrong after being asked by a third grader what the vice president does, interview with NBC affiliate KUSA in Colorado, Oct. 21, 2008
I hope she does start running again, Bob Barr & Her would make a great libertarian ticket.
John McCain won the GOP nomination because the South Carolina ticket was split between two conservatives - Mike Huckabee and Fred Thopson.
Sarah Palin is the last hope for the GOP to return to conservatism and not this wishy-washy liberal party that has been infested with supporters of John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Rudy Guiliani.
The rest of you thinkers shouldn't believe everything you get from the media.
Now what yours, or at least what is yours today.
I find the Sarah Palin thing more interesting and more interesting. She walks the Walk and talks the talk.
She might have Won had she not been running with John (liberal) McCain.
If she thinks she has a chance at the Presidency, she's dumber than she appears. We already elected a dumb Governor as US President once and looked how that turned out. I can't imagine we'd be dumb enough as a nation to do that again.
Then again, there are millions of Republicans in this country that favor what is best for their party over what is best for the country.
Better to know now, than as vice president or president.
