I find the asnti palin detractions so filthy and sisgusting like thier authours. I am not suere whether i would even like to speak with one. Certainly, I wouls feel sick to have to invite one into my home. The crap they spout is just hatred.

Whist they do not look at the quwstionable Obama negatives, neither do they wish to see any positves about Sarah Palin. Count me in on those who find her very capable and count me in as someone who would prefer to trust her than almost every politician can think of bot in EU and US.

People of US, do not be deterred by the Palin hate and by people who have been to the big universities, they do not even kmow what a marriage is or a man or a woman, neither do they know that when a woman is pregnant she is carrying a human child. neither do they know that terminating a pregnancy is ending of that life. How nice or clever are thay then? Their bad opinion is a better reference than any good opinion of thiers could ever be.

Why not link the Op-Ed?

You have links of "pictures" of Sarah Palin, etc ... but no link to the article that you are obstensibly discussing?

No at least one of the commenters categorized it as "bible-thumping". Sheesh.

Ignorant drivel

Palin's op-ed piece isn't anything new. It's the same bible thumping, ill-informed rhetoric one would expect from America's most anti-intellectual would-be politician. This latest outburst stands as a rather humiliating attempt to establish herself as other than the ditsy, flighty, corrupt nightmare of a politician that her whole 2 months of undeserved limelight revealed her to be.

How easy it is to spew forth invective against Obama, unqualified, uninformed invective coming from a woman who publicly demonstrated to the American people her complete lack of relevant or even common knowledge concerning even the most mundane aspects of foreign or domestic policy? Palin failed to muster the wit to sit with Katie Couric for 20 minutes, she thinks proximity to Russia counts as foreign policy experience. We really ought to ask ourselves - who really cares what Sara Palin thinks?

Get Serious

The real question is who wrote the op-ed piece for her! Maybe the republicans should nominate him/her.

Vote Palin - Romney?

Oh come on let’s all grow up and forget all of this partisan crap and for once work to solve the real problems this country faces. A wise former President (George Washington) warned this young country in his farewell address against forming political parties because they would lead to the downfall of our young nation. If both the Republicans and the Democrats do not stop their grade school bickering they very well may bring to pass President Washington's warning.

Look up his farewell address and read it carefully, you (all of us) can learn a lot from it.

And yes I am fiercely independent, I vote in every election, after reviewing the positions and personalities of all candidates and vote for the one that I believe is best suited for the job. REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY THEY BELONG TO.

After a candidate is elected we need to work with him/her to insure that they indeed do what is best for this country. Obama has not even been president for one year and people are already talking about the next election! With that sort of an attitude maybe we should just give up now and sell off the country to the highest bidder!

Seriously?

The GOP is doing backflips when they so much as acknowledge that their girl is finally doing something serious....

Real shame that she was dead wrong in about 75% of her op=ed "facts" I think she is better off tweeting, something she can handle.

We Don't Care if She Scares You

One sees what one wants to see, but don't ever think others see the world as you do. Sarah Palin has never been in the political game for just herself. She knew as a young woman that every step she took forward there was going to be enormous sarifices for herself and her family. There has never been a woman in the political areana that has taken the steps she has. No not Hillary. Hillary went to all the right schools and went to the right parties. She met the right people all the while hiding behind her husband. Then she went to the liberal capital of America - New York, to be annointed Senator. It would be like Sarah coming from S.C.. Sarah is so unique she scares the hell out of the political class and the rest of the STATIST crowd. Here is how I see the world and the Sarah soap opera. The woman of the Northeast had little respect for their stay at home mothers. The new generation of woman went to the right colleges and they learned how to network. They drew comfort in numbers. They excluded people around them that did not share their expierences. They found husbands that their group friends could except. They spent their professional lives hiding behind these groups. Asking each other was it OK to change this or OK to change that. They changed the things that "irritated" them, but remained afraid to stand alone, to be seen as a LEADER. That is who Sarah Palin is,a leader. Leadership is not about the best education. It is not about group thought. It is not about excluding others or seeing others in lesser light than yourself. Leadership is about acknowledging the gifts each one of us bring to the table reguardless of the path we arrived. Sarah Palin has gone it alone, has made her mistakes in the light of day for all to see, and doing so has earned the respect of many. Her group of followers are those that are highly educated and those who are just politically educated. The left cannot see her motivations or pretend not to, they dismiss her followers because at this moment in time they can. They think under Obama it has never been better. They have waited decades to return to the New Deal and the Great Society. They believe they have set the rules and only those among them that have followed these rules should be eligible to lead, but that is not how leadership is found. The Statist believe the academically educated, through their farm system of liberal fortressess, is the only avenue to be taken for our leaders of tomorrow. It certainly has been where our decision makers of the past century have come from. Statists are policy people and believe all things need to be in the hands of a small few to "control" the outcome. Freemdom and the Costitution must be sacrifice so we the elightened ones can guide our future for us. Sarah Palin has not played by their rules. She didn't go to the right schools, she has been to right parties or asked permission from the right people. direction that is tot
