Will Sarah Palin's TARP Flip Flop Haunt Her in 2012?

Aside from the fact that the cbs interviews from 2008 will probably be played on an endless loop in liberal ads if she wins the primaries, her flip-flop on TARP, and her constant use of the words "communist" and "socialist" and a whole slew of other things, Palin really has a horrible approval rating.

Last I checked it was hovering at around 15%, worse than Michael Jackson AND O.J. Simpson on trial.

Uh.. Heh heh! You know if you take the word (please don't tell him it's an acronym) "TARP" and you re-arrange the "P" and the "T" and then erase the curvidy part of the letter "P" it spells a funny word! Ha ha, heh heh! And so, like... Obama is super smart and cool and all the democrats make my leg all tingly feeling. Then I have to go change my underoos.

...besides, women do not like "worry wrinkles"! A pun perhaps, but there is some level of truth here. Sarah quit the governorship of Alaska, probably to top the list, for family considerations.

She truly is having fun touring the country and making millions knocking the liberals around. So, why would she want to become POTUS (making a few billion while a few "million" will do nicely) when she has re-established her family position as matriarch?

Run for POTUS in 2012? ...don't think so! She continues to get the goat of the liberals every day and it's funny as h--l!

...besides, she's cuter 'n a new puppy!

To change one's opinion, after due consideration and thoughtful reflection speaks well of a person - not ill.

You are so funny and misinforming.

Mitt Romney was a Governor. State wide health care is State issue. Legitimate. Although Supreme Court has not ruled yet, over 20 States are protesting obamacare. Federal health care.

State vs. Federal. See difference.

If Mitt Romney is our President candidate, do ask that question of him. I want to see you looking sheepish….

Republican health plan will be explained. Obamacare will be explained when ? We keep hearing barry will do. Yeah. Waited until after election. Still waiting...
