Palin and Bachmann Are Crowding Out the Republican 2012 Field

... from her office as Governor. She never really explained why either. That makes her a QUITTER in my book. Could she stand up to North Korea or Iran?
As for Michelle "Don't Know Much About History" Bachmann,she needs to let up on her -liberal- use of dark eyeliner, and learn how to speak into a teevee camera before she's deemed Ready For Prime Time. These are techniques that Palin has already mastered....

Yet she is entertaining and will make the next elections entertaining.
She is setting the standards for the level of issues and widening the media horizons - didn't you see even Boehner is getting in on the National Enquirer scoops.
Some folks say Palin is dumbing down the political discourse, but I think she id dumbing it up and dolling it up so we won't even recognize what she's talking about - but what the hay she's a looker, as distraction - she's not getting hired to think.

John Adams - You sound stupid as she is. Get a grip. Nobody is threatened by this dumb azz. Okay.

Watching liberals contort themselves with hatred for Palin is becoming an amusing diversion. She's not going to run. She's FAR more effective as an attack dog/fundraiser.
Now, Bachmann might. But she's a nobody to everyone but her closest friends and of course, the liberals salivating at the thought she might run.
The Left should fear Huckabee. He'd likely trounce Obama. I expect they know it, which is why they rarely go after him; they're hoping he'll be overlooked again.

CNN poll said "Will Obama win? Fifty-one percent of the public says no, with 46 percent predicting he will claim victory in November of 2012." Poll shows more trouble for barry than Sarah.
CNN poll has Sarah in 2nd place to Huckabee. By 2 %...

Twittle Dee and Twittle Dumb might bring out the hillbilly vote, but they are both getting paid top dollar to be the frontmen for the billionaires agenda to screw the middle-class on down.
If you got beyond the fluff (and these two are mostly fluff and gibberish) these satanic twins are advocates for the wealthy who just got their $700 billion bonus in tax breaks and advocates to slash the budgets of everyday Americans. We could afford hundreds of billions in tax cuts for the rich but Republicans are going to insist we can't afford roads, schools, police, libraries, parks, etc.
... and these two evil wenches get to act dumb and oblivious yet sit pretty to arouse the lunkheads.
I wouldn't doubt Mubarak would hire these two mercenary witches to be the lobbyist for continuing his totalitarian rule, because it wouldn't be much different than what they are advocating now.

>>>... she’s got the whole “Obama is a socialist” tripe down pat, and, sadly, that plays well in today’s GOP.<<<
Makes sense to me. The Democrats, including Obama, believe in central planning by government elites, redistributing wealth, limitless government intervention in all things political and person, collusion between the state and corporations, attempts to silence critics as "extremists," a stated desire to regulate speech and conduct... it's Calvin Coolidge all over again, not "socialism." Of course it's tripe to call Obama and his ideas "socialist." How sad people are calling those ideas "socialist." Those stupid, racist, nationalist, bigoted Americans. And don't get me started about that Constitution created by while male slaveowners.

Good grief! Where are your facts???
This is biased liberal lies at their finest.

There is so much PR spin in this article that I hardly know where to begin. How about I slant it the other way? It isn't Palin, but Obama who says the darndest things -- there are 57 states, Austrian is a language, pronouncing corpsmen as corpse-men, saying the Constitution was written 20 centuries ago (when he was announcing Sotomayor as candidate for SCOTUS).
How about the fact that he doesn't understand basic liability insurance (fumbled during the health care summit)?
How about his binky-like dependence on a teleprompter?
Worst of all, how about his inability to grasp the basic concept that adding trillions more to the national debt is driving America off an economic cliff? And he is clueless when it comes to creating jobs!
At least Sarah Palin has worked in the private sector, has owned a small business, and understands how to meet a payroll. She also understands how over-regulation, health care mandates, and increased taxes are burdening the American economy.
I'll take President Palin any day over the current occupant of the Oval Office. In fact, I'll even go so far as to say that the very survival of America depends upon electing a fiscal conservative like her as president in 2012. Enough with the socialist spending spree. We need an adult in the White House, not an adolescent gone wild with America's credit card.

What a piece of left wing trash and an insult to your few remaining readers' intelligence.
Your "journalist" should remove his kneepads, wash his face, and leave Hussein long enough to get in touch with reality. He's interfering with Reggie Love's job.
