that she's not retreating (by dumping the Gov gig) but rather re-loading. She's at war with reason and the American middle class, whether you know it or not. Shoot back---now, not later. Sarah is a dangerous woman----because half the people in our country are as stupid as rocks and just might vote for her schtick, or her figure, or the winking. Unless, of course, she keeps lying. You ought to have heard the line of bull when Oprah asked her if she is running for president.

I'm so sick of hearing how Gibson "peered condesendingly over his glasses" at Palin. She said it and I've heard right wing pundits say the same thing. They're called READING GLASSES! They are worn on the end of your nose so you can READ SOMETHING! You peer over the top of them becaue if you look THROUGH THE GLASSES at something further away, it's blurry. Are conservatives really that stupid?
And while I'm at it, Katie Couric was "BADGERING" her? Are you kidding me? Katie Couric from the morning "happy talk" program was "BADGERING" the vice presidential candidate? She asked her what newspapers and magazines she read! That's "BADGERING"? That's called lobbing her a softball that she can hit out of the park! What idiot can't answer that question? How hard is to just say what newspapers and magazines you read? "I read the Juneau Daily Messenger and the Anchorage Times and the Moose Hunter's Quarterly" or whatever. How is that Badgering? Sarah Palin is a moron. Of course that never bothers Republicans (see G.W.Bush)

I prefer Tina Fay to Palin but both look the same. Maybe both should be together on Saturaday Night live. But after reading American Theocracy by Kevin Phillips one gets the problem that Palin would come up short in dealing with Joe the Plumber problem and the increasing gap between rich and poor. The middle class seems to getting smaller as more jobs are outsourced. The fact of the matter is the average worker has been put in a bad situation while the big banks and financial firms have been bailed out. For a number of years restriction on financial firm have been disappearing with the changing ot the laws. I can't even understand the accounting which presently exists even if I was to take a updated course in the subject. Everything seem to be hidden including taxic assets.
Then there is the matter of debt. It use to be something that in time was supposed to be paid. I wonder how in the world the government is going to pay for things without losing the value of currency. And it keeps adding benefits on top of debt. It seem like we have free lunch for all. But wait I see the waiter coming with the bill, so I need to go to the bathroom. Hopefully the bathroom has a window in which to exist.

I can see her being an activist/fundraiser or for other candidates but Chief Executive?No.I never thought the media treated her fairly- but it did bring out two things , ambition overriding her candor with McCain's vetting process & the power wielded by liberals using the major media as surrogate to quash any threat it perceives.Either scenario is cause for disquiet.

Sarah Palin needs go away, far away..She should not be in the public eye at all, she is a joke. Would never vote for her, as govenor she sucked, WOLF KILLER. She was such a joke running for VP, I couldn't stop laughing, McCain made a BIG mistake with her. She doesn't know what even comes out of her mouth. Send her to Iraq! They can have her.

Women of every political persuasion cant stand Palin because SHE IS A PHONY. Its quite obvious that she couldnt care less about public service, to help people. Her goal is to help herself ,to all the cash thats comes with fame.
And I doubt if she actually wrote the book. If she did, it might be the first one she has ever read.
'I can see Russia from my house". Priceless. At least she made me laugh.
If The Republican party wants a shot in 2012, they better pick someone with alittle more serious intellectual weight and honest charisma. Unless their goal is to boost the ratings on SNL again !

During the presidential campaign, researchers discovered 1200% more profanity being expressed on liberal blogs than they found on conservative blogs. 1200% more!
During the presidential campaign, the left loudly decried the federal deficit under Bush, claiming it everything short of an outright felony. But now, while Obama sends the national deficit so far into the red it all but assures a national economic catastrophe lasting generations, liberals sit quietly without so much as a peep of concern. You'd think America's liberals would be steaming mad about it based on their past railings, but nooooo. So long as Obama is behind it, you don't care if his deficits are still being paid off 10,000 years from now. (Hypocrites?)
During the presidential campaign, Obama assured Americans he was a Christian. Yet since becoming president, he cancelled White House participation in the National Day of Prayer, ordered the USAF N-O-T to perform a fly-over at Idaho's 40th annual "God & Country" celebrations (something no president has ever done before), and has every symbol of Christianity covered if he is to be seen near it in public. This, of course, is to say nothing of his spending 20 long years listening to a certain Rev. Wrong spew a venomous hatred for the very country which gives him the right to spew it, as well as refusing to leave his side until literally forced to if he wished to retain any hope of ever becoming president. (FYI, Christianity is about loving thy neighbor, not hating them.)
During the presidential campaign, Obama promised unprecedented levels of transparency in government, as well as unprecedented levels of bi-partisitionship when working to solve our nation's problems, yet since becoming president, he and his staff has all but shut out the Republican leadership on every matter sitting on his desk.
I could go on and on, like forced healthcare or "face arrest," snitch lines, anarchist "czars."
One very important issue is his abject failure to "learn from Vietnam" and "listen to your commanders on the battlefield." Like every Democratic president since WW1, Obama seems plenty determined to ensure the military struggles we face will cost as much in lives and dollars as he can possibly "spend," rather than achieve victory through decisive force and action. (I don't know what it is with you libs, but "military victory" must be an oxymoron in your book.)
No, the American people are observing ALL of this and taking note. After next June, a sitting Democratic member of the U.S. Congress will be as rare as a hundred pound meteorite made of solid gold. By 2012, Obama will be booted-out right alongside every liberal senator who enabled and assisted him in his anti-American, anti-common sense, tax-thieving, economically destructive and Godless agenda. And none of them (perhaps even you, too) will be able to get a job licking the dust off the boots of returning American servicemen and women, for free.

I am as conservative as you can get & the former Governor won't cut it for this Nation.I have met enough people in my 56 years to read a smile, comment or deed-and she is not ready .Republicans especially need to take a real hard look before allowing her to take the stage.First ,The People are repulsed by this charlatan in the Oval Office,second -the mid term elections are within a year .third ,the options for 2012 are WIDE open.Patience & Purpose are required.

"Just look at what she has done in Alaska"
She was under investigation for corruption before the McCain campaign picked her.
She ran the state as a personal fiefdom, spouting "abstinence only" nonsense, and ignoring her own knocked up kid. Spare me the "children are off-limits" trash. She pimped them out for her photo ops, and they are the refutation of her positions. She made them a valid topic of discussion.
Then,she cut and run from the governorship when she smelled that she could cash in with this book and her >100000 buck speech tour.
