Sarah Palin

Ha thats hiarious!

The perfect Republican candidate! Brainless, outspoken, easily controlled by the corporate Ruling Class (which means she would be perfect for the very rich). She would provide four years of wonderful entertainment.

I think she would make a great candidate when it comes to the various issues our country is facing. However, I feel she would be unelectable in the general election given how the mainstream media treated her in the last presidential election. There was an abundance of trash talk, lies, political spin, and personal attacks that were used against her (more so than Obama, Biden, and McCain) to sway those of us that were in the middle to not vote for the ticket she was on. I can only imagine it being ten times as bad if she went up against Obama in 2012 as the presidential Republican nominee.

Proves my point that drama, strife and controversy sells and pays off. If her remarks were not so full of controversy we would all be saying Sarah who?

If this is what America wants then I need to get out of here ASAP. She's a joke, spinner for fox, and a bad actress

if the republicians run this goober, your looking at four more years of obama. she is not electable. if you could hook a generator to that mouth, the energy crises would be solved.


GW Bush with tits!

The latest...Palin out running around on a motorcycle. Out trying to hussle up money from the uneducated. Greta said last night she'd been out on the Palin tit tour, I though Sean was going to cry 'cause he wasn't invited. She has no intention of running. She she wagging those mcguffies for dollars.

As good as any of the other dicks running for the Republican nomination this year.

Breaking news it was just announced Osama Bin Linden was captured. For once her big mouth has been shut and she has nothing to say tonight.She was the main one spouting and implying that our President was a friend of outlaw, Muslim terrorist, yet it was Obama whose Administration did what Bush could not do, capture Bin Laden. I think if there is a God, he has a sense of humor in allowing these slanderers in calling Obama a Muslim and questioning his allegiance to this great country to be the Administration that saw this most famous wanted terrorist bought to justice. I know this may not be enough for them but for now this is a great victory for Obama, his Administration! I hope it brings some comfort for the families who lost loved ones in the 911 attack.

MILF, yes (well, maybe if it wasn't for the Alaskan/Canadian accent and missing grey matter), President - definitely not!!

But she can see Russia from her house!

Okay, I'm a conservative Republican and I can't believe she's even thinking of running for President. I'm sure Obama wants her to run and get the nomination, cause if she does, he's in without a fight!! I mean, I find her rather attractive, but I don't like hearing her talk. Looking good ain't gonna get it done!! Someone with brains would be nice.

The Decomrats' greatest hope?

I'm looking for a *PALIN 2012* bumper sticker to replace the *HUCKABEE 2008* that previously adorned my big old American sedan...

UPDATE:

*WARNING* If you're at all sentimental about (conservative) politicians and their families, or teenage country music stars, then please don't watch this video...



UPDATE TWO:

(If Palin is nominated, it could mean the oligarchs have decided to go with Obama for four more years.)

Yeah,well..compared to El Presidente Yomama..almost anything's lookin' good..

I know that during and since the 2008 campaign, Sarah Palin has taken quite a bit of flak. However, this usually seems to be the case when an entity or large group wants to deter a hard-working, no frills "Let's get it done" sincere person out of the picture.

She has a family - Get over it!
She has ran a state - Successfully!
She has guts!

SHE has a place in our goverment!

Personally, I don't care if the candidate is Black, White, Maroon, Baptist, Catholic ect.....

I will however, take:

Honest
forthwith
Sense of propriety
Love for our Constitution
Support the will of the people (majority)

There you have it!

She has to keep saying what her fans want her to say to get a chance in 2011. They love her and will defend her to the hilt, even if she keeps using gun lingo like ReLoad against lliberal democrats! Everybody has a hustle, can't hate her for that.

Wasn't Sarah Palin and the right winger conservatives the ones hollering about all the bad affect heavy metal, violent video games and Harry Potter has on our youth not too long ago? Who was it that wanted to ban books in schools and libraries. Me and my Room-mates have a bet on this one it was her against the right of that kind of free speech and it will come out that this guy is a Tea Party advocate. Not saying he caused the shooting but that Celebrities have influence.After all Beyonce put the word Bootylicious in the Oxford Dictonary with her song BootyLicious.

If people think famous people have no negative influence to instigate violence why did they jump all over Maxine Waters after the Rodney King Riots or Al Sharpton saying he incited violence? How is saying to Reload on Democrats any different I will be happy to hear all points of view on this but it seems hypocritical to diss it, if you can't stand it coming back at you.

No!

Dear Jesus make her stop it!

In Sarah Palin's time has Governor of Alaska the average monthly unemployment rate was at 5.63%.
Meanwhile she cut stimulus spending by $252 million. She also has signed legislation that has given each Alaskan $1,200, She layed off the House Chef of the Governors mansion,Sold Frank Murkowskis private jet on ebay and was commander of Alaskas National Guard. In her time doing that she visited troops in Kuwait,Germany,Afghanistan and Improved funding for speical needs education. Not to mention the state made more progress than ever in building a natural gas pipe line. You can talk all you want, but she has more time in elected office than barack obama, because he spent all his time in his first 3 years in the senate 2 of which he was running for President for.

I actually love Sarah Palin, but she's totally un-electable. She'd be a great Vice Presidential nominee for a stronger Presidential nominee, but her negatives are simply too high.

Sarah Palin quit her job as governor and is now seen as more of a celebrity than politician. Her public misstatements prove she does not have the judgment or intelligence to lead. She knows very little about economics and even less about foreign affairs.

Sarah Pain ( in the ass) and many in her Tea Party extremist fan club love what she represents, the push to bring back the "good ole days". Exactly whose good ole days is she talking about?? The good ole days when there were no labor laws to prevent unfair labor practices, where most women had no opportunities to succeed in the job market as Police officer, doctors, lawyers? or the one where colored only and whites only signs were common place?!!

This woman is the most divisive political sound board since George Wallace (southern segregation) and Barry Goldwater (probably the historical heroes of her fanbase).
Even her "Don't retreat reload," slogan sounds like a covert threat! Someone better advise her to stop using that slogan because a white male in Wisconsin took her serious and reloaded numerous times when he shot out his television set over her daughter winning out over the more talented Brandy on Dancing with the Stars. What a fraud that was.

I am ashamed they are calling themselves Christians! She they are Christian only when it suits them! What good Christian would support her daughter's sexually suggestive dancing as Bristol bumped and grinded as if it was porn dancing on a couple of her routines. I could not let my teenage daughters watch that tasteless trash. Bristol made the finalist but could not dance a lick. One Tea Party fan boast of voting 300 times in an hour for Bristol inspite of the fact she was less talent than much better dancers that got the boot earlier in the show.

I am praying someone reminds Sarah Palin and her fans that although a black male won for the office of the President, a return to the good ole days would mean a woman would not be able to run for President either!!!!

Sarah Palin is uprite,She has more govering ability than Obama had she is my pick without a doubt..
If the screwball voters can allow Pelosi in the white house, Sarah should have no problem.

As it stands now....I say SARAH PALIN for President...2012! Drill baby drill! How could we get any worse. I vomit on President Obama and his stupid Obamacare and everything he stands for! UGH! SARAH PALIN SARAH PALIN! She has my vote, assuming she makes it to the election...:) At least she isn't shy about being ignorant on certain subjects whereas all the career politicians just lie to get to office and their stupidity just shines thru once they are elected. With Mrs Palin you get what you see and it really isn't all that bad...AND on a second note...I personally feel Hillary Clinton should go for her vice presidency under Sarah Palin. Women are strong and I honestly think they would turn this country around....what a perfect combo...and NO I am not joking...

Sarah Palin has shown here strength and determination to expose the progressive agenda. I believe she would be a great addition to Ron Paul for president (as VP). She is not as transparent in here ideals and plan for the country therefore, she is not a great presidential candidate as Dr Ron Paul.

If she wins it in 2012, I think I'll move back to Canada. I'd rather put up with those damnable Atlantic Canada winters than live in a country where Sarah Palin presides.

Not principled, not experienced.

Mama bear, is doing what she wants now and that's working to support constructionist conservatives and writing books, but who really know unless you know her personally. Did anyone see what she did for a priest who was visiting Alaska, what a good person she helped him by offering her facilities for his program and even did his make-up before the show

The liberals do not like strong minded women, however we do, lets see what happens, I would support here and another candidate.

SECOND UPDATE:
I'm leaving this at two stars, because for all her evident failings, Palin must still be considered a possible nominee for the GOP. From a political strategy perspective, I think her candidacy would be a disaster for the party, but there is some evidence that logic isn't playing a big factor in the Republican leadership these days.

UPDATE:
Since I originally commented, Palin has resigned as governor, engaged in tabloid level slanging of her on again off again son-in-law, had a book ghosted for her and engaged in some political commentary. In my view, all of those things have hurt her chances.

Resigning as governor in mid-term is not exactly a ringing endorsement of her ability to stay the course and the perception in some quarters that she resigned to duck ethics investigation isn't going to help her either. She has done as much as anyone to keep her personal life on the front burner, feuding with the hockey player who knocked her daughter up. Her book, which I finally finished reading (and mightily turgid prose it is), is short on policy and very long on whining and pettiness. And her political statements and endorsement of candidates in recent elections seem either ill-considered or tactical errors.

We are well past the point where the excuse that "Sarah was the victim of the evil media" flies any more. The book is her creation, within her control, as is the book tour she's engaged in. It reveals a shallow, vindictive person with a victim mentality, and one who is notably short on substance. Such policy as her book contains is shallow, broad brush, and cliche driven.

While she continues to energize her fan base, she has done nothing I can see to reach beyond that. The reality of politics is that without some appeal to the middle of the electorate, a candidate cannot win. I believe the GOP is smart enough to know that, and I very much doubt she will be nominated, although I have no doubt at all she'll run.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
The Democrats would love to run against her in 2012. Her motivation of the GOP base is more than compensated by her mobilization of the Democrat base and her ability to fundraise for the opposition.

Whatever her political skills, (and I suggest they aren't as bad as they've been painted) she would have a major hill to climb to overcome the present perceptions of herself with a majority of voters. Historically, very view politicians have managed to overcome a significant negative perception in the voters minds. Nixon did so, between '62 and '68, but he's pretty much the exception.

Sarah Palin is all of what America represents. She shows she is a God fearing woman, she is an excellent family member, she shows patriotism to the United States of America, she would bring real American class to the presidential office. she has knowledge, courage, she is HONEST, her family is real, they have problems like we all do in America...she is first for me, then Mitt Romney.

I think it's about time we had a female president so that the world will have a more peaceful outlook and she is very strong and beautiful as well as highly intelligent and versatile!

She did an extraordinary job as Governor of Alaska. But she won't get the nomination simply because of the enormous influence of the liberal Press. Whenever these media people hate or fear someone they do exactly what they did with Gov. Palin, trying to paint that person as an idiot. If she really weren't qualified, they wouldn't be so afraid of her. Their relentless attacks on this woman and her family show just what kind of amoral cowards we have reporting the so-called news to us.

She will get the ignoramus vote. I can say something good about her: she really believes in what she says/ She is not like Obama. He tries too hard to be liked by all people but the reality is he winds up not having the approval of (hardly) anyone!

There are plenty of intelligent Republican women out there, but sadly Sarah Palin is not one of them. She lacks substance, as well as basic knowledge of history and politics. Which is very scary. Very scary indeed.

There is no way on God's green earth Sarah Palin is going to be the next President of the United States. The one reason Obama won the election is because Democrats and black people voted for him and many of them never voted before in their life. They probably never paid attention to elections or news from the White House before. I think McCain possibly could have won the election in 2008 if he had not chosen Sarah Palin as Vice President.
I can't believe all this hype about Sarah Palin for 2012. My feelings are if she does become the lead presidential candidate for the GOP, that's the end of the Republican Party as a winner.
She is a pretty lady and I don't doubt her experience, but her being chosen as the Vice-President elect was a fluke. As a Republican, I am not against hearing her speak about important issues.
Now a former Governor of Alaska, she currently works for FOX News as a political commentator and will host the program, "Real American Stories".

Dumbest bitch on the face of the earth.

I don't know where to start with this woman or finish. As someone who previously ran for vice-president for the Republicans she had no prior geographical knowledge (Quote from her "...when I look out of my window I can see Russia...") and she also seemed to have very little interest in the very subject that she wished to speacialise in (Politics). When asked if she reads any publications nationally or internationally she couldn't name a single print. I actually cringed when she opened her mouth. She even reminded me of a female version of Bush. "The Sunday Times Magazine" ran an extensive article on her and it wasn't pretty to read what they had to say. Had McCain won Palin would have put women back a good twenty years. I say she should enjoy the celebrity status she garnered and just quit whilst she's behind.

In the best seller (book) "Game Change" on the behind the scenes drama of this past Presidential Election on page 396 it is recorded that the McCain campaign Staff felt Palin was a liar who slanted the truth on "the Bridge to nowhere" and other things, whenever it suited her . She is just like all the rest of the Politicians but using Jesus for votes.


She gets a huge following from the Christian right but polarizes the rest of the country.
I don't think she can win and she proved she did not have what it takes by quitting before her term was up in Alaska. I do give her credit for knowing how to promote herself. She should go into acting full time and forget politics at least being an actress is more genuine.
Just saw a Political commercial using her endorsement of a Conservative to sway voters to vote Republican. Are we Americans stupid or what?

I believe Sarah Palin is as Conservative as you can be. Since McCain-Palin lost the 2008 presidential election, she's been out on the road standing up for we the people! What other Republican politician has been out there on our side since 2008? No one. Sarah Palin is the candidate I want to see win the GOP Presidential Nomination in 2012.

Her campaign slogan shoud be "Barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen, just like my young'un!"
I never will trust her She's against abortion, OKAY-but apparently not against teen pregnancy.
"All you teen young'uns git prignant without gitting 'n aburtion so we kin have more young'uns ter vote 'ventually fer idiots lick me!"

No matter what Fox News says, Palin is extraordinarily unpopular. Putting your eggs in that basket would not be wise.

Just heard Tea Party's are at it again, claiming to despise Social Programs while statistics show most of your Seniors in your so-called Tea Party are benefiting from Social Security and Medicare. Give it all back then you will have a little credibility that you are against Government programs! Fake Religious people murdered our Savior you can't trust them. Many are mean as a rattle snake and hate people that are different in gender and color. They forget what their bible teaches that all have sinned and fall short. If any are saved at all it is by the grace of God not our own merit or goodness.

Sarah Palin claims to be a devout Christian. I don't know that as a fact, & it's not my place to judge her but I think she and a majority of Conservative Politicians use Jesus for Conservative Evangelical votes, while their secret lives are completely different and in total a mess! It always later comes out that they have some contradiction in their own lifestyle that is an embarrassment.

Sorry, I do not believe she will ever win Pres. or VP. I don't believe God has called her to neglect her first ministry (since she claims to be a devout Christian) which for any Christian woman would be their underage children, special needs baby & husband to try to divide the country or (as she believes) save the world. It should start at home first! Jesus did not condone any Political party in his day. He does not belong to only Sarah Palin's political party or any one group of people has a exclusive claim on Jesus. If you don't agree dear Christian give me one Scripture where Jesus taught Politics or supported the Romans over the Jewish Zealots, or vice versa? You can't!
Most Conservatives Pastors do not allow women to teach over men and also preach the man has Headship over women. Kind of hypocritical to me that they support a woman VP or Pres. She could not even go to full term as Governor of Alaska but quit . Didn't Winston Churchill the favorite of Conservative Historians teach to never give up? I knew the Lord did not call this woman to be VP and knew this was not God's doing or blessing for her to be VP! By the way, I do disdain abortion but hate is also murder in the Lord's viewpoint as stated in the bible. The pure hatred of this President is wrong. God will judge this kind of evil hatred and bitter malice. Many of us are tired of any group using Jesus for political gain or monetary profit.
I am an Independent. I do think Jesus would be for the poor and outcast.
As far as the Judge Deborah in the bible show me where she had a baby that she left at home.

I am all for a woman President!!! Just not "this" woman, just not 2012.

My husband and I are in opposition. Of course, he has never voted until last year. That being said, I would hate to think that we would elect someone that is and has been considered a "joke"; is or has been in office and "quit."

The President I vote for ACTUALLY STANDS FOR TRUTH, AMERICANS, doesn't QUIT, BELIEVES IN AMERICA and THE CONSTITUTION that our FOREFATHERS put in place to PROTECT US.

Perhaps a woman next time. (And yes I do follow politics!)

Setting aside her lack of intellectual qualifications (didn't we try this type of candidate with G. W. Bush??), she's shown no capacity or desire to stick with political office for any extended period of time. Do we want a president who might decide to resign because he or she is tired of the job and would prefer to make speeches for $100,000 and become a Fox News commentator?

That said, I'm not convinced of Palin's desire to run for president. She undoubtedly loves her current celebrity status, and her Fox job gives her a platform from which to talk and get rich. Furthermore, despite her popularity with "Tea partiers," she's not exactly a favorite of the GOP establishment nor of the American public. Conservative columnist George Will wrote that Palin "is not going to be president and will not be the Republican nominee unless the party wants to lose at least 44 states."

I think half of you dont watch too much politics or know whats going on with our country....She would be a great candidate. Not because she would make history but because of what she stands for and against!

I'm sorry, but this lady is a total whack job. I wouldn't trust her to run my lawn mower little lone the United States of America. Besides that, we all ready let the handicaped run the country once didn't we? And look at where that got us! There should be a sign over the White House door that says, "Only people with functional brains are allowed to enter".

Update 3:
I doubt she'll get the nomination unless some unforeseen tragedy occurs within the GOP in the next few years, but with an upcoming TV show on the Discovery Channel to add to the cash she made off her book, she could have enough money to run as a 3rd party candidate. She'd certainly get a hell of a lot more votes than Nader (but that's not saying much).

Regarding the TV show...it looks a little boring. Fans of trashy reality tv were undoubtedly hoping for North Shore (i.e. Jersey Shore set in Alaska), but if I'm to believe the Washington Post, it sounds like a straight travelogue of Alaska. Perhaps she'll throw in some helicopter wolf hunting or separatist meetings, to spice things up. Not that Alaska isn't beautiful, but Palin's previous TV appearances don't exactly convince me that she'd make a particularly eloquent or insightful host.

Update 2:
Campaigning would mean that she might have to spend some of her PAC money on something other than herself, her book tour and a bigger entourage on her other celebrity appearances. In other words...it seems unlikely.

Amusing aside...she spent $60k of the money she raised from people supporting her political cause to buy copies of her very own book. This amount is greater than the total amount she donated from the PAC to candidates running for federal office.

Why buy so many books, you ask? To offer as incentive to donors who contribute more ca$h to the very same PAC! Brilliant.

My brain hurts from the potential recursion.

For those of you keeping score, of course she also gets the royalties from buying her own book with money donated to a PAC. If she didn't decline that option, this is effectively using her PAC as an ATM.

Perhaps the followup to Going Rogue will be entitled Take the Money & Run: Ethics are for Suckers

Update 1, January 13, 2010:
My prediction below has come true. Seems that Sarah Palin has taken a job at Fox News. Congratulations to her... it's really a much better fit than politics for someone so profoundly incapable.

Original Review November 8, 2008:
Irishgit & CanadaSucks are spot on here. A nomination of Palin in 2012 would have the power to remobilize everyone who rallied behind Obama in this election and then some.

I also don't think that most of anyone besides the basest of the GOP base ;) are her biggest fans. FoxNews has already started to slam her, and I think we have yet to hear all of the nonsense that went down once she got picked up by the McCain campaign without extensive vetting. I'm sure there will be books written (or more likely ghostwritten).

Don't forget that she also needs to make it out alive through primary season. It's one thing to run against a campaign at the last minute that stood for change and solidarity of a nation. It's quite another to run for months against Rovian-style Neocon attacks after becoming insta-famous 8 years prior as a essentially a passionate idiot with zero integrity.

Speaking of insta-fame. I think she'd do better on daytime TV where she doesn't actually need to research anything. Her hilarious Katie Couric interview was one of the few appearances she made where she wasn't heavily prepped in advance, and we saw how that went. She'd make a great puppet, but I think we've had about enough of that as president in the past 8 years.

Scary as it may be to some, Palin 2.0 could happen.

UPDATE: For now, its looks like Palin 2.0 will happen, but I just can't see her gaining enough traction to fare better than a primary runner-up. Of course her real x-factor is if she decides to go rogue and burn the whole motherfucker down should she not be nominated. She's reckless at times and might have the ego for a third party run, which could split votes to the point of dooming whoever outdoes her in the primary.

Too polarizing, and ignorant.

Sarahh palin will run in 2012 and she will win!

Sarah is so pretty ! I love beauty queens because I myself am a beauty queen ! I want everyone to think I am pretty too ! My life is about being pretty ! And we need a pretty president ! John McCain is trying to outlaw my vitamins that keep me pretty but I know Sarah won't because she is pretty ! Sarah is who the television says is the only hope for American conservatives and I must agree with the television man Glenn Beck because the television is the only place I learn about the world around me.The television will never lie to me and the the television says Sarah is who we can have ! I love the sexy Kenya Robe nightie Sarah just bought and I am going to buy one just like it so I can be pretty too !
Just like Sarah.She bought some designer leopard slippers too ! I can't wait to hear about all te prretty things she buys and wears.All the men say they would "do her"so there you go ! That makes her qualified in my book !
All the global leaders will be so enamored with her prettiness she will be able to get over on them all.I hate Ron Paul because he doesn't use his mental faculties on things like pretty nighties and leopard slippers.All he thinks about is fixing government.Ewwww
The news won't ever distract us about Sarah's hot running shorts,or when someone says something bad about her children!
That only happened once and the media won't be able to use that to beat over our heads the vain desires of Sarah and her pretty things because she is too pretty !
The whole world will take her seriously ! Really ! All beauty queens are really smart! Thats why they compete with their prettiness! She was more pretty than other girls and that made her what she is today.She works hard at being very pretty and thats why she will win.
I will be proud to have a pretty girl for my leader,even though some say that being obsessed with pretty is a vacuous endeavor.
Showing others how pretty you are in competitions has taught me that I have to work hard at proving I am prettier than others and has made a better person of me.
So what if Sarah was part of the last rigged election? She is the pretty girl who will show America what pretty girls are all about.Fox News hires ex-beauty queens like myself and cheerleaders because everyone likes pretty ! It doesn't matter what you say if you are pretty ! I know that for afact!
Some people say it's hard to distinguish prostitutes from Fox news reporters based on photographs.
That's because they are pretty and if you are pretty you can gain acceptance over someone ugly like Ron Paul who isn't pretty at all.
No one cares what pretty girls say as long as they are pretty !
I am going to psychologically invest in Sarah Palin early on so no one else who might not be so pretty will have a hard time getting any recognition as a serious candidate.
Lets be pretty ! When a pretty girl in her sexy nightie and her leopard slippers gives us bad news it will be sweeter because a pretty girl is delivering it !
Who can argue or be mean to a pretty girl? That would be mean.
Here's a YouTube video of Sarah's hot new Kenya robe with a slit up to there !
You can see what she looks like in it !
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by83F0d5NMs
She won't be an easy distraction for the media because she likes shopping for pretty things for her pretty self !
On the contrary ....we can be proud of her because the television has crowned her the next candidate because they love us.
The media wants us to take our country back and thats why they like the pretty girl !
YAY for pretty ! It's about time beauty queens are taken seriously !

She would be worst future or non president, she hijacking the Tea Party in the Nation. I not buying Palin. I will not follow the Palin's tea party! It is no-no!

she doesn't know anything. (even if she writes it on her hand!) I could not see her running our country.
