A Sarah Palin-Hillary Clinton Political Alliance? Someone Actually Tried

Now that Mrs. Palin has been treated so badly by those who simply oppose her politics, we have liscense to treat all such candidates who are women in the same demeaning way. Mrs. Palin could have been treated as the professional woman who has accomplished something with opponents pointing out their opposition in a respectful way. They have chosen to attack her, her family and anything she has done to marginalize her. Those of us who had, for years, given women support did not see anyone come to her support from the women's groups on the left.

I will never support a woman left or right in the future. If you don't respect your gender enough to admit an opponent's accomplishments but protect her from treatment you would not have your candidate receive. You do not deserve a place at the political table.

THAT WOULD BE THE BEST NEWS THAT THE USA HAS IN A LONG TIME. IT IS TIME THAT A WOMAN IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE. RIGHT NOW I WONDER HOW MANY OF THOSE HARD HEADED DEMOCRATS HAS WISHED A THOUSAND TIMES THAT THEY WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR CLINTON INSTEAD OF (WHERE IS THE PRESDENT?) O' YEAH HE IS OFF SPENDONG THE TAX PAYERS MONEY ON ANOTHER VACATION SO HE CAN GET ON TV AND TALK ABOUT IT. OF THE YEAR HE HAS BEEN IN OFFICE HE HAS NOT BEEN IN THE WHITE HOUS 4MONTHS.

It's an insult to try and compare Hillary with Sarah. Hillary is an accomplished and articulate leader. She is extremly intelligent and educated leader.

On the contrary,Sarah is politically naive and a good candidate for hollywood. I will never ever understand why Americans give her a lot of attention to the extend that she now thinks and behaves like a celebrity. American intellect is growing dim at an alarming rate. Having Sarah at the WH will be a burden to the American people.

If America is ready for a female commander in-chief, then Hillary is the best choice. THINK AMERICA!!! THINK!!!! WAKE UP!!!!! Sarah can serve her country in many other ways.

WHY DO YOU SPEAK WITH HATRED ABOUT GOVERNOR PALIN?? I KNOW YOU VERY WELL. YOU ARE AMONG THOSE CORRUPTED ALASKANS WHO WERE TOOK DOWN BY THE GREAT GOVERNOR, AND NOW YOU ARE EARNING MONEY PAID BY LIBERAL DEMOCRATS WHOSE UN-GODLY TACTICS AND OBJECTIVES ARE TO SMEAR DOWN PALIN. WHATEVER YOU SAY, SARAH IS DESTINED TO BE THE 45TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. IT IS GOD'S CHOICE!!

Until this past year, not many articles concerning the Alaskan Barbie doll have raised much interest in the lower 49. Sarah Palin didn't seem real to most of us. Then, she became a joke, a byword, a comedy act, that a real election couldn't afford. Leave her in Alaska, where the moose are almost free to roam. She'll find something to do up there. Hey, she can write a book. Lord knows, her family alone, give her plenty fodder. Hillary, you can do much better. I do believe, Hillary Clinton could run this country with the best of them. Look at what just left the oval office. Besides that, look at what's in the oval office now.Please! Playtime is up. This country needs genuine leadership. DisappointedDemocrat

What evidence can you provide to support your theory that Mrs Clinton tried to blackmail Mrs Palin into paying off her campaign debt.
