So Painful

Sarah Palin is a total nut job along with all the wackos who follow her! Sarah Palin is making a total butt of herself. It's so painful to watch. Palin complains about how the media is being unfair to her and her family. Does Palin think she is the first person to have the media discuss her family? Anytime you run for office, America and the media are going to want to know about you. Especially, if you are unknown. Palins life was riddled with scandal. Palin should have had tougher skin. The thing that makes me chuckle, is that she complains about the media. Then she reaches out to the media to complain. To make things worse she contradicts herself all the time. Hmmm...I think someone is just trying to stay in the media. If she would just shut up and disappear no one would have anything to say. In fact, America will forget what an uneducated, backwater idiot Sarah was.

Mr. Schlesinger: Liberals like you need to go away and shut up and not Sarah Palin

All liberal elites and elite media reporters like you are the one that need to go away and not Sarah Palin. Liberals like you are a clear and present danger to the USA and the world. Sarah Palin is a type of a leader that will save America from total destruction. If you are not aware of world history, please study the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Rome's downfall was cause by corruption from within the elite liberal senators. You can say whatever you say about Sarah Palin as a dumb politician, at least Alaskans can see where their taxes are, as Alaska has a budget surplus. You will be more surprise if within two years from now a big reputable Japanese car manufacturer will build a factory in Alaska. This is a fact.

Go away Palin

I have to say this out loud.... who are these people who like Palin? They must be the same ones that keep Jerry Springer on the air. That's all I can think. Message to Palin: Stop talking! For the love of God, Sarah, stop talking!! Doesn't she have some kind of job she should be doing? This is all grade school, he-said-she-said stuff. Sarah: STOP TALKING!!!!!! At first I didn't like her. Now I am embarrassed for her. Whinning in public isn't funny, not even Tina Fey can make it funny.

Sarah Palin - Enough!

Governor Palin needs to stop talking. Period. It is like she has no mental filter - everytime she opens her mouth, she sounds more of a fool. If she truly believes she is qualified to run in 2012 she is positively delusional. And Todd? Equally. I agree with Mo; "she needs to get over herself."

We barely hear a word from McCain - perhaps because he DOES realize what a foolish notion it was to put her in the spotlight at all. Talk about cutting your losses. Palin should definitely do the same.

She appeared on SNL with Tina Fey, she agreed to the interview with Katie Couric. Enough already with the hypocrisy. A "Barracuda?" oh sure, that is what I want running our country -an emotional fool. Let's not even start in on the politics - she isn't discussing them, learning more about them - stop talking Sarah! Your digging your own political grave.

Signed,

A woman who would support a woman...if she weren't nuts.

Sarah, PLEASE.... GO. AWAY. NOW!

Sarah,

Let me be very blunt with you. McCain (not you) lost. For whatever reasons you want to dream up or even if you want to be honest with yourself and admit the truth, McCain lost. The election is over. Please, GO AWAY!

The questions you were asked by Katie Couric were fair, honest journalism. The qustions you were asked by Charles Gibson were fair, honest journalism. You couldn't answer the most basic questions that any politician SHOULD know. If you, as a politician, cannot answer questions asked by Katie Couric or Charles Gibson, then you don't deserve to be a politician.

I almost voted for John McCain. Why almost? Because John McCain is an American hero. He's a good, solid person who has been very good for this country. He's someone that anybody can look up to and admire. In fact one of the ONLY bad decisions he ever made was choosing you as a vice-president, which is why he didn't get my vote.

So please, do this country a favor. Please go back to Alaska and be a pitbull with lipstick or whatever it is that helps you sleep at night. Please stop giving interviews. Please stop blaming everyone but yourself for your obvious and mind-numbing incompetence. Please stop whining about not winning something that you had little or no experience even thinking you could handle. Most of all, please... GO. AWAY!

Sarah Palin

I think Obama should "go away". I do not believe that this country knowingly elected a Marxist president.I believe that the U.S. public was brainwashed and that there was massive voter fraud.We no longer have a "free press" we have daily indoctrination. Sarah Palin is closer to American values then the commies and programed talking heads in the old media who chose Obama. Obama is just the puppet controlled by the New World Order despots.We have lost our liberty and you idiots want to trash a real American. Shame on you!
