In Defense of Sarah Palin

Saarah Palin quit doing interviews - go back to Alaska and pick up a book and start to educate yourself.
Watch the news and when people are asked if Hillary Clinton would be a good Secretary of State - please note - everyone asked this questions says - SHE IS EXPERIENCED. Interviews do not give you experience - knowledge does.

To sum up Sarah Palin:
If Barack Obama was Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian, and or a woman with the
same intellect, education, world vision, charisma, and character he
exemplifies, he would remain a wonderful person to lead this country.
If Sarah Palin was African American, Hispanic, Asian, and or Male she
would still be less than an empty suit.
Put a gunny sack over her head while she speaks and see if anyone can stay
awake to listen to her nonsense.
If you look at the faces of the Governors listening to her I would hardly
say they looked raptly attentive. More horrified or at the least annoyed
would describe their expressions.
If Palin could only describe herself it would sound something like:
"I think there is that, in the minds of our hearts, I am an also ran,
also....."
I'm hoping she vanishes from the world stage and it can't be too soon!

Throw her under the Crazy Talk Express and then back it up over her!
ATTENTION REPUBLICANS:
RE: SARAH PALIN
Obviously there has been a HUGE mistake!!!.
Palin's Dribble, Weasel Wording, Mush-Mush, Asssss-Backwards speak Cleary demonstrates who carries the Down Syndrome trait in her family, because of this we (the democrats) will allow you to send her back to Wacky-silla without prejudice and select another candidate.
For this consideration the Republicans agree to sell Alaska to Russia (with Palin) and never mention the State of Alaska or her again.
P.S. Why does Palin repeat herself in the same sentence and add extra words that donot belong!! Reading a Quote from her makes me feel like I am in the advanced stages of dyslexia. Does Anyone else have a problem with this? Is there anyone out there from the North Slope who speaks Wacky-silla?

Palin is just like "awol", incurious, rigid, narrow minded and shallow. Also a dim student just like AWOL! Hopefully she will kiss up to Rush/Sean/BillO and further alienate moderate, educated Republicans. Then she can be the leader for Joe sixpack and his inbred family of friends.

I guess re-inventing Palin is the name of the game now. Repulsive!

Uck! GET RID OF THIS WOMAN, WILL YOU!!!!!! She is SUCH an embarrassment -- I've never in my 53 years of living seen quite anything like it!!!

My concern about Palin is the trail of dead bodies that she's left along her political path, and the enormous number of close friends that have high appointments in her domain. While the "firing" itself was legal, the events that she partook in leading up to it scare the hell out of me. We've seen what's happened when that is carried out on a presidential level, and how it's left the countries policy and credibility in it's wake.
Colin Powell nailed it when he referred to her "lack of intellectual curiosity". This trait plays well on campaign trails, but again, we've seen how damaging it in the White House. Bush has been described as "not being a details guy", and it leaves altogether too many opportunities for less-than-scrupulous characters to carry out illegitimate agendas. She's a real go-getter, with some formidable qualities, but nowhere near being in the league of the White House.

"I raised two daughters neither one got pregnant in high school and had to drop out. They were both A students and graduated with honors. If Palin can't do that as a parent how can she think she can advise a Presidential elect"
Wow, Fuzzy toes, you are a very righteous man. And if one of your daughters had come home pregnant (believe it or not, it can happen to anyone), what would you have done - thrown her out of the house? Sarah supports her family through thick and thin, no matter what they do or what mistakes they make - that's called having values.
"I have six older sisters, I was taught respect for women at an early age. I said women not vermin."
Who are you calling "vermin" - Bristol Palin? Because she got pregnant. Nice one. You are a real man.
"She encouraged her daughters boy friend to drop out of school to marry her pregnant daughter to make herself look good as a candidate, how does that equate to a wise decision?"
Really - you know all this? All reliable reports are that the young man had always intended to marry Bristol, and he is quite capable of earning a good living. But of course, you don't want to believe that, do you? That's fine - just keep making up whatever suits your fantasy.

Pregnant At 40 something is almost always a dumb decision. If you can't make wise personal decisions how can you make wise national decisions.
Yes I am a guy and I know of these things, why doesn't Palin?
I raised two daughters neither one got pregnant in high school and had to drop out. They were both A students and graduated with honors. If Palin can't do that as a parent how can she think she can advise a Presidential elect. She encouraged her daughters boy friend to drop out of school to marry her pregnant daughter to make herself look good as a candidate, how does that equate to a wise decision? Except to benefit her selfish ambitions.
I respect most women especially if they show some intelligence. I have six older sisters, I was taught respect for women at an early age. I said women not vermin.
Be a good little flirt and go home and limit your flirting with your husband and use birth control please. Try to enjoy your family and the rest of your life.
