This could just be a saved template “Sarah Palin adds nothing new to X debate in glib Fox Show Y appearance”.

No shit. Because she can’t add anything new, because she’s incapable of original thought re: complex issues.

“Sarah Palin Adds Nothing New To Debt Debate In Glib On The Record Appearance”

Yet she has you talking about her.

When Sarah talks,people listen..

Sarah Palin didn’t add anything to a debate? Oh my god, next mediaite will be telling us that the Pope is Catholic and water is wet.

Mediaite Adds Nothing New to Debt Debate By Pointing Out That Sarah Palin Adds Nothing New To Debt Debate in Glib Fox Appearence.

My advice: Replace this with whatever Jon Stewart’s talking about right now and call it a loss before it becomes extra embarrassing.

This is a typical softball Palin appearance. Her movie continues to bomb. $1 million budget and only $112,078 in box office. Her daughter’s book bombed pretty bad also. 

Were you expecting something sage from the Alaskan Milf? If weren’t for Fixed Noise, she’d be totally irrelevant.

Haha! Good one!

That’s the problem with living in Alaska.  You have nothing to add to financial matters because you can’t see Wall Street or the Federal Reserve from your house.

Knowledgeable about energy? I keep hearing that, but never hear her actually say anything except that oil resides in Alaska. We know that.

Look how much time, money and capital has been wasted by the dufus left on this woman. These failed attempts to assassinate the messanger, rather than address the ideas, has been turned into a publicity bonanzza for Tea Party. Thanks libs! Now continue your neurosis. ……………Koch Bros……. Party of no……..millionaires and billionaires…. racism…….George Bush……..Hahahahahah…………

Oh, you’re right. Stewart is also a lame, half-term governor who tweets nonsense and thinks “what do you read?” is a gotcha question. It’s so obvious that they’re interchangeable.

yea what happened with that silly movie? Is she still the undefeated?

Great comment, RS.

And, Frances, we’re ALL exhausted; most of us feel like Diogenes, looking for an honest man (politician).

BTW, WHY did you decide to use the adjective “glib?” Couldn’t help yourself, could you?

You have a Palin obsession. It’s unhealthy.

she’s the most useless person america has ever known

Wow, you’re all over the map there buddy. I just think that this block on the front page should be replaced by any of the actual, current politicians who DID add something to the debt debate today. The Stewart bit was a meta-joke about how often Mediaite posts JS material.

1. It was a gotcha question.

2. She left her state billions in revenue.

3. She had a natural progression of political leadership.

4. Deal with it.

1. It’s not her DOCUMENTARY.

2. It will do awesome in DVD sales.

3. Anything you say is moot because you can’t even say legit statements.

You are kidding, right.

Keep her talkin’, FNC.
Everything she says is gold for the Democrats. 

Not when you contribute to Mediaite’s traffic over an article about her.

Funny how after every event or even non-event the lib reporters run to see what Palin has to say and try to make something of it. Why is it so important she have something to say here. Where is the story on what Romney, Bachmann, West, Pawlanty or Cain have to say. They have actually declared they are running. The liberal fixation on Palin is hilarious.   

Do you want to know what’s real gold for the Democrats?

Gun Runner.

Look it up. I’m not worried about 2012. :)

HINT: Nobody has added anything new to the debt ceiling conversation in at least two months.  Everyone in the country who doesn’t live inside either Washington or NYC has known since April that nothing would happen until the day before default and that at that point, a BS “compromise” would be reached that achieved nothing and pissed off both bases.  Surprise!  That’s what happened.

The idea that the author (and website as a whole) felt the need to point out that Sarah Palin, specifically, added nothing of value is simply the extension of their anti-Palin agenda and nothing more.

Conservatives/ Tea Party types waiting for and thoroughly expecting Sarah Palin to run for
POTUS remind me of Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive.

Poor Linus….

Sad.

Why don’t you tell us how you really feel about her, Frances?

Actually, the Republicans presented a budget and voted on two different plans. There’s also the Penny Plan.

The President and Dems. did not. Don’t lump the R’s into the non-leadership category.

You are just mad that Obama doesn’t have the pizzazz anymore.

As Pablo said in the Stewart article, Presidenting is hard.

If Sarah Palin somehow does run (and it looks unlikely), it could be Fred Thompson redux.

If I were Sarah Palin, I would run for Jon Kyl’s seat.

I just can’t get over how Palin is aging right before of very eyes…..I guess even Van Sustern is getting sick of asking her about running….she’s done, stick a fork in her…..

“As Pablo said in the Stewart article, Presidenting is hard.”

You just explained better than Nature Freak why Governor Palin will not run for POTUS.

Smiles dear :)

I do love that you equate Palin to Obama though. That is epic.

Smiles dear :)

I do love that you equate Palin to Obama though. That is epic.

‘he who is second in command of the most powerful office in the world.’ God, you gotta love Sarah Palin, even if you can’t stand her.

You have to listen, she’s a female Norm Crosby! ’he who is second in command of the most powerful office in the world.’ “As Kenny on Seinfeld would say: That’s gold Jerry, gold!”

Being an Alaskan, I must dispute the sentence you wrote stating that she is “perhaps one of the most knowledgeable figures on energy use in the nation.”  She comes nowhere close to that title.  She was given a position on our Oil and Gas Commission, as a concession when Frank Murkowski giving his Senate seat to his daughter instead of Mrs. Palin.  She served 1.5 years and quit; it was over her head.  She gave 500 million bucks to TransCanada via the AGIA gas pipeline legislation, for a pipeline that assuredly will not happen as was laid out in the legislation that passed while she was, albeit briefly, our Governor.  Andrew Halcro, Larry Persily, and a host of others in Alaska are the real energy experts and could speak all day about various alternative gas pipeline strategies, Palin, not so much, not even regarding Alaska gas/petroleum energy strategy, much less those of our Nation or World.   I do like her new Michele Bachman hair, though, mature and statesmen-like.

Aging happens. Palin actually looks “real” on this clip. I am 40, I hike and run 35-40 miles a week, but still, my face says to the world I am no longer 24.

If I thought Sarah Palin could govern well, she could look like the elephant man for all I care.

I realize I need to post links, but as soon as Mrs. Palin was nominated for VP, she journeyed to the right on the political spectrum. She changed. As governor, Sarah Palin was way more centrist than Gov. Rick Scott.

Sarah Palin is a chameleon as well as a barracuda.
Links soon.

Now showing in a living room near you.

President Obama.
Where do I start?
He has my vote, but he could be more aggressive.
He plays chess while others play checkers.
I have seen this before, and I presume it is still true.
At least I hope.
We shall see what happens.
I need to go to bed.
Goodnight, WCinWI

I wonder if seeing Giffords on the floor of the house again reminds her of the 6 that didn’t make it.

She sure looks tired.

“perhaps one of the most knowledgeable figures on energy use in the nation.”

Bwahahahahahahaahahahahaahahahahaahahahahaahahahahaahahahahaha!

She was given a position on our Oil and Gas Commission, as a concession
when Frank Murkowski giving his Senate seat to his daughter instead of
Mrs. Palin.  She served 1.5 years and quit; it was over her head.

You lie.

Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Chairwoman Sarah Palin said
Friday she is resigning amid frustration that she is being forced to
keep silent about ethics allegations against Republican Party of Alaska
chairman Randy Ruedrich.

“I’m forced to withhold information from
Alaskans, and that goes against what I believe in as a public servant,”
Palin said in a Friday interview.

If she’s such an incompetent, why must you lie about her? What are you so afraid of that makes the truth not good enough for you?

http://tinyurl.com/n4gswa

“She concluded disparaging the Obama administration for talking to foreign dictators and not using domestic natural resources for energy– the topic she is by far the most knowledgeable in, perhaps one of the most knowledgeable figures on energy use in the nation.”
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH..thanks for the laugh Mediaite. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!

No.  I can’t believe the fake “truth”, the propaganda, the mythology about Sarah Palin and energy that’s on the ‘Net.

When Frank Murkowski appointed Sarah Palin to the Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Commission in 2003, there was no requirement for the “citizen member” to have specialized knowledge — and Sarah Palin didn’t.  She was fresh off her tenure as Wasilla mayor and a failed Lt. Gov. bid.  The AOGCC position was a plum, because she didn’t get appointed as Murkowski’s senatorial replacement.

He expected her to serve out her 6 year term.  She quit after 1 year (yes, it was ostensibly because she was “overpaid” and she discovered her boss was doing the same thing she’d done herself as mayor — using government equipment to promote partisan politics).  

After she left, the legislature voted into law a requirement that the “citizen member” of the commission be a person with significant knowledge of the petroleum industry — because Sarah Palin didn’t know ANYTHING about that job except how to chair a meeting.

I think it just became far more likely than it was a month ago.

It was an easy out for her.  That’s all.  Alaska political circles know that Palin used the Reudrich thing to bow out gracefully, rather than being asked to leave.  She certainly didn’t pack up that “high ethics” mindset and take it with her to Juneau.  She went to Juneau and behaved much as Reudrich did.

Easy outs are what Palin is always about; ethical high roads are not frequently traveled by our ex Governor.

Nice try though, “E” for effort is your prize for the evening.

You’re right. There is pay-per-view planned.

Awwww poor baby.

The President leads on squat.

Unless we’re talking about crappy legislation. That he’s a full on leader.

Awfully nice of Sustren in letting Palin get away with the: “raising the debt ceiling is giving Obama a blank check for more spending,” fabrication. Either Palin is ignorant of what the debt ceiling actually represents, or she is willfully misstating the facts. (For most politicians I would automatically assume the second reason, with Sarah, it’s probably the first). Either way, shame on Palin on getting it wrong and shame on Greta for letting her get away with it.

“Joe Biden is wrong. They are not terrorists. They are just a bunch of tea-baggers ! ha,ha,ha,ha ” – Barack Obama

Frannie, it’s pretty sad that you can’t get past the first sentence without your liberal bias showing.  Grow up!  No wonder you couldn’t get a real journalism job. 

Just about every post on here was related to the Tea Party.  I wonder if Mediaite hates the Tea Party?  I can’t tell. Can someone help me out?

This is a strange article.  Imagine, a tea party American expecting Congressional members hired by the American people to take our debt seriously and talking about it like the rest of us are.  What exactly was Sarah Palin supposed to do?  Create new accounting gimmicks?  Make false promises?  Undermine the wisdom of the American people who are sure not to enjoy where our country is headed, yet understand the tough decisions to be made which we will all feel to some degree to move our country back to a clean slate?  I am sorry, we already have a President that plays those games and frankly Obama has not added anything to this crisis that he contributed greatly to and he is the President.

Yet, some liberal writers feel the need to give him a slide and hold Palin up to the presidential standard.

This proves how liberals are.  They treated Obama like a hysterical mommy who overpraises her baby boy for potty training (like giving him a Nobel Peace Prize for giving a speech in Germany).  Then when he gets on the ball field with the better players, they scream in his defense worrying he might get too roughed up.  We’re honored this is how they view Sarah Palin.

Andrew Halcro?  That tells us where you’re coming from.  Get real.

Yea i heard that line. Very strange.

It was not over her head.  As an Alaskan, you’re an embarrassment to the truth of what happened in your own state.  She left the AOGCC after she realized that under Murkowski, state positions were “offered up” to get you to join the long list of go-along politicians who scratch backs with oil industry insiders like Randy what’s his name.  She left it to take on the corruption right from the top and cleaned out the state by toppling Murkowski and earning a massive approval rating. 

“2. It will do awesome in DVD sales.”

Sure, with lots of wingnut welfare to buy up lots of copies to be used as giveaways for donations. However, when the movie was in the theaters, the free market spoke and it was a resounding thumbs down.

“3. Anything you say is moot because you can’t even write legit statements.”

A failure to understand the meaning of the word “moot.”

That must explain the approval rating following that resignation and winning the Governor’s seat right?

I will bet that you also believe she “quit” the Governorship without even acknowledging the millions of state money wasted on frivolous ethics charges (26) filed against her AFTER the VP run.  Miraculously, not one was filed against her before 2008.

As an Alaskan, can you explain that?  Because that’s what we’d love to hear about.

Love the Michelle Bachmann hairdo!!   Nice try, Sarah—-FAIL.

OMG, that’s hilarious.  

My first thought: She’s talking about Lord Voldemont!

 * Bring Your Own Wine Coolers!

 ”1. It was a gotcha question.”

Only for someone with an IQ under 70.

Why? 

I’m an Alaskan too. DinkyToy.  The appointment was not a concession appointment although many believe that. She quit because of corruption not because it was over her head. She stood up to those good old boys in Juneau that  ran the oil industry up here. Sarah is certainly much more qualified than our current commander in chief to make decisions about energy.

The cracks about her hair and make-up really frost a lot of real Alaskans that work or have worked for a living. Sarah is no Diva. Fishing in Bristol Bay, hunting, riding snow machines like she and her family do is work.

You forgot the Partisan Twitter meltdown calling for bi-partisanship.

The largest expenditure on the State books regarding ethics complaints was the one that she filed against herself regarding Troopergate. $100,000 to “exonerate” herself and Todd from the Troopergate allegations.  The entire, “ethics complaint” scenario was one that Palin used to her advantage in order to step away from her obligations as Governor.  In fact, she set up a “fund trust” to pay her supposed legal obligations, and that Trust allowed people to donate a max of $150 and it was set up to pay for, well, pretty much anything that Palin decided needed paying for:  Here’s what the disclaimer on the Fund Trust website had to say:

For Alaskans, the time has come to end the siege on our government by political tricksters. Enough is enough. With the help of reform-minded advocates from across our nation, we will stand up for what is right. Your maximum contribution of $150.00 will allow the Governor, her family, and her colleagues to retire their legal debt at no cost to Alaskans and reduce the incentive for mischief by her opponents. Together, we can help Governor Palin and future elected officials turn back the tide of overtly partisan and unnecessarily personal political attacks.

So, this Fund could be used for The Governor, her family, her colleagues, well, pretty much anything and anyone.  The fund was frozen months ago because the coverage of the money given was wayyyy to broad.  The fund issued a statement that all funds would be refunded to those that contributed.  As of this day, there has been no financial statement issued from the fund and it seems no money has been refunded.

Yep, you are going to scream “liberal bias” again when I post the link that gives the info regarding the worst abuses of the “fund trust” but hey, the info is there if you wish to take off your blinders and read it:

http://www.themudflats.net/2009/04/24/alaska-fund-trust-its-the-new-sarahpac/

Jinxed!!!!!!!!!

14:57, 14:58, 14:59…..Time is almost up Sarah. 

LOL! POOR FALIN PALIN! VERY FEW CARE ABOUT HER ANYMORE SINCE MICHELLE  BACHMANN STOLE HER THUNDER!

The high-minded
republic envisioned by the Founding Fathers in 1787 did not pan out.  America soon morphed into a one-man-one-vote
populist democracy and, in past decades, into an anything-goes mobocracy where
anyone who can afford to pay the registration fee is deemed qualified to run
for public office.  To win, though, they
must profess to be devout Christians, and, most important, be able to raise
lots of money and market themselves on television.  Ideas, knowledge, experience and, integrity,
none of that matters anymore. By popular opinion, any well-funded actor,
comedian, retired athlete or celebrity of whatever stripe and hue is now
eminently qualified to occupy the White House–which makes Sarah the ideal
presidential candidate for 2012. A leader like her would so accelerate the
mobocracy’s downward spiral that, rather than fester in slow motion for years,
it would quickly hit rock bottom and, hopefully, regenerate phoenix-like, if
not as the republic envisioned by the Founding Fathers, at least as a sane
meritocracy. So run, Sarah, run, and win big. 
America’s mobocracy needs you.

“Awwww poor baby”???  Is that the best you can do when challenged with facts WCinWI? You’re 10, right?  Piper the Diaper, shouldn’t you be in bed sweetie?  

of course…it was just fine and dandy for palin to elude to obama as “palling around with terrorists”.

now she cries foul that such language is “vile”

what a complete hypocrite…

carry on

It is very confusing to the American people that while Obama refers them as tea-baggars, Biden refers them as terrorists.

Can the Democrats please make up their mind : are they tea-baggars or terrorists ?

Why can’t they be teabagging terrorist?

Joe Biden loves to refer his political opponents as ‘terrorists’.

Col Gaddafi also loves to refer his political opponents as ‘terrorists’. Bashir Asad also loves to refer his political opponents as ‘terrorists’.

“Terrorists’ has become a universal term used by dictators all over the world to smear and slam their political opponents as well as justifying using extraordinary means to destroy them.

It’s time that Barack Obama and his hero, Robert Mugabe, to follow the footstep of Joe Biden and Col Gaddafi to start calling their political dissidents as ‘terrorists’.

Barack Obama and Robert Mugabe are so out-dated as both love to call their political dissidents as ‘teabaggars’ and ‘racists’.

Joe Biden and Col Gaddafi are the future !

Ah…there nothing like a good Padron 64 or Padron 1926′s.

Whether you are in Iran, China, Libya, Russia, Burma, Syria, North Korea…and now USA, anyone who dare to oppose the governments are being slammed as terrrorists.

Joe Biden and Col Gaddafi : “We are the world !”

She had a massive approval rating because some Alaskans wanted anyone but Murkowski to be Governor. Once seated she did garner some serious bi-partisan credentials in her relationship with our Legislature.  However, that relationship soured even before she went on the VP campaign trail and that relationship was non existent once she returned home to Alaska.  Palin is not popular in Alaska any longer. If Palin had an Alaska Base, then her documentary would have been shown here, in Alaska, where she resides for part of the year. To insinuate that Alaskans still find her to be someone that we want to get behind politically would be disingenous. Since quitting her elected position she has not staged one single political event in our State.  She has no base here.  She is a snowbird resident, with a political agenda elsewhere.  She only uses Alaska to attempt to up her “Grizzly Mom” status; the Grizzly Mom fisherwoman that didn’t have a commercial fishing license for most of her life.

so true!

:-)

Being a hypocrite within the Republican Party, is to wear that label with a badge-of-honor.

Oh geez, you would reference a blog created by a woman married to the man of the ethics commission wouldn’t you?  A fund was set up for the Governor’s defense, yet, it caused yet ANOTHER frivolous ethics complaint to be filed against her. 

Sarah Palin ended that siege.  She took on the oil companies, she took on establishment Republicans like Andrew Halcro who is now “palling around” with liberals who have jumped on the anti-Palin crusade in Alaska.  My 150.00 contribution to SarahPAC (which comes out automatically every month) will ensure that they lies perpetuated by folks like yourself are shot down with the truth. 

The cost of the 26 frivolous complaints totaled near $2M.  THAT was public money squandered and wasted and it prevented her from doing her job.  Plus, it added 500K of personal legal debt to her.  So, I assume as a “concerned citizen,” that in the middle of a fight for the debt ceiling in Washington, you’re telling us it is your position that it was fiscally responsible for her to go along with all that in lieu of selflessly resigning for the better of her people — AFTER accomplishing most of her agenda?

You don’t mention the approval ratings.  You don’t mention Andrew Halcro’s ties to the gray-haired old lady in Wasilla who stalked then-mayor Palin or his ties to Shannyn Moore who continues to stalk her.  You keep creating these word salads complete with links to other word salads set up by far-lefties to ignore all logic whatsoever.

EVEN the Newsweek article explained her resignation perfectly. 

If you really believe Palin was unreasonably attacked, you’re hanging out at the wrong blog, my friend.

Nonsense, she had a massive approval rating after doing her job.  Before liberals in Alaska who blogged for the DNC began head-hunting her and joined forces with disenchanted establishment RINOs she tossed out on their tails.  Then, the crazy Falafel Lady who filed most of the ethics charges mentioned earlier, she was also an alleged “Republican” who was ticked Palin wouldn’t offer her a job.  Then, there was the former aide who wrote the book after staying with her for the entire tenure after she refused to stay connected to him after he was found to be engaging in unethical behavior.  Once upon a time, the crazy Falafel Lady filed an ethics complaint against him and Palin.  Palin was found to have done nothing wrong whereas he was advised to take ethics training. 

Her detractors in Alaska are a minority.  They even threw McAdams under the bus to “write in” Lisa Murkowski’s name to prevent the real GOP nominee from becoming Senator — Joe Miller. 

Her documentary never needed to be shown in Alaska.  It is not a primary state.  It is not a battleground state.  It was far more important to get it out in Iowa, NH, and SC where Palin has major political favors to cash in on as she endorsed Branstad who won, Ayotte who won, and Haley who won.

I’ll bet you as many fishing licenses as you want (boy the details you crazies provide on this get funnier and funnier) that she’ll take Alaska in the general.

I forgot to mention — the former aide who wrote the book that flopped.

So, Steve, et al, here on this forum that are supporting Sarah Palin, both with their hard earned dollars and their bleeding fingers, I have but one question to ask.  Do you think that Sarah Palin has the mental acuity, the actual intelligence in areas of Domestic and World Policy to be an effective POTUS? Please list all applicable qualities that she possesses that would lend credence to her ability to lead our nation.  Thanks, in advance.

Fun Mudflats tales.  Here is an interview with Frank Bailey where he admits there was a leftist conspiracy to bombard Sarah Palin with ethics complaints by bloggers like Jeanne Devon who continuously petitioned Kim Elton (liberal Alaskan Senator) through “Alaskans For Truth” to file these 26 ethic complaints against her.  Jeanne Devon, owner of that blog you reference, is MARRIED TO the treasurer of Alaskans For Truth and further, Bailey actually wrote his book WITH her.  So in one breath, he says the actions Devon contributed to were despicable but on the other hand, he thinks she’s a fine person to write a book with.

Later in the interview, he claims Palin grew the budget for 3 years in a row.  That is not true either as this information is in the public domain available to ANYBODY.  Murkowski’s budget was over 11B and Palin lowered it by almost 10%.  When he was hit with these facts, he quickly moved on to accusing Palin of appointing a Planned Parenthood judge to the court.  Of course, it’s also shot down.  Here is the interview for anybody to listen to:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abqBho-tJzA&feature=player_embedded#at=12

Folks like Dinky are hanging out in little holes on the internet where unfortunately, public records are discarded and stories and words are twisted.  Transparent and sad, really.

It’s a joke to think that anyone would even think this woman is qualified to manage an Arbys let alone the entire country. 

She will not get Independents like me to vote for her. I couldn’t in good conscious vote for John Mccain (other than the fact that he’s actually a statist in small government activist’s clothing) because of his utterly ridiculous decision to make this woman his VP. 

She is anti-intellectual, anti-science, and most of all a hypocrite. Anybody who claims to be for small government but takes positions that support a free market (supposedly) but at the time advocates the government’s ability to regulate morality is the type of person who sits on the TV to watch the sofa. 

Thought it wasn’t her movie so what does it matter anyway??

Wow!! is this an example of Sarah stalking the sites and replying to negative comments?? Sounds just like what her or Toad would say . . . No other Alaskan would be so willing to make those comments.

Yes I do.  She possesses strength.  Take for instance the lengths people like those few bloggers in Alaska have gone through to go after her, the money they squandered, the Republicans like Frank Bailey and Andree McCleod who have joined those forces.  The liberals and RINOs in Alaska that hate her only prove she’s an equal opportunity Governor/Executive.  If you’re part of the establishment, you’re not going to like her.

I also believe that the establishments and the ones deemed SMART ENOUGH like the current disaster we have now have gotten us into this mess over the last couple decades on both sides of the aisle have manipulated Americans by lying to them.  There are no magic accounting gimmicks to fix our problems.  There aren’t enough rich people to pay for 95% of our lives.  She slashed spending by 9.4% as Governor when the state had a surplus while Obama spends trillions while we have nothing.

Finally, let’s examine liberal and Obama weakness.  Other than pointless ranting, what have they done besides cram a healthcare entitlement down our throats with a trillion dollar price tag or a failed stimulus down our throats that only crippled our dollar?  We all have “rights.”  Palin conservatives accept those rights knowing we have personal responsibilities.  Liberals accept those rights under the premise of entitlement. 

As a result, we have a failure who was praised and given a Nobel Peace Prize for giving a speech in Germany.  Now that he actually has to answer for his record, he and his supporters are hysterical over it.  As I stated before, they are like mothers who over-praise their baby boy for potty training.  Then when he gets on the field with better players, they are terrified of him getting roughed up.

IF ANYBODY voted for this national embarrassment, please do yourself a favor and spare yourself the embarrassment of having the bravado required to ask me why I support Sarah Palin.

In fact, you LIST FOR ME the “applicable qualities” he had and we’ll take it from there.

Obama’s weaknesses and contradictions aside, do you honestly believe she is the most qualified of the Republican’s who have stated their interest in pursuing the presidency?

If you’re telling us you chose Obama over Palin in 2008 and would again in 2012, your opinion really is irrelevant.  I am sorry, but that is how voters feel now.

Did you even read my question? Are you that ideologically blind where you immediately have to resort to the gutter politics of Dem Bad Reps Good? (or vice versa if you’re a Dem).

My question since you are incapable of deducing a point was… DO YOU BELIEVE SHE IS THE MOST QUALIFIED OF THE REPUBLICANS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?

1.) She took on corruption in her own party.
2.) She had a surplus in Alaska and CONTINUED cutting the budget to put away for the future.
3.) She is pro-business, pro-tax-cuts, but is bipartisan to stand up to big oil as she did.

My other choices:

Romney: couldn’t even beat McCain in 2008.
Ron Paul, Gingrich, and Bachmann:  First two, no.  Bachmann is great.  However; no politician has gone from the House of Representatives to the Presidency since Garfield did it in 1880.
Herman Cain:  You need elected EXECUTIVE office experience first.

YES I believe she is the most qualified of the Republicans out there.  She is the epitome of anti-establishment.  She is our Reagan, our Thatcher, she is not beholden to special interests, she does not owe anybody any favors.  I want that type of house-cleaning from the top along with a conservative Senate. 

Actually, Reagan never had the benefit of a conservative Congress as Thatcher did with a conservative Parliament.   Look up Britain’s Winter of Discontent in 1979.  Look up Thatcher’s unpopular poll numbers.  See how far behind she was behind Calahan and how far Reagan was behind Carter in 1979 as well (more than 20+ points). 

All I can say is if you voted for Obama after what he’s put our country through and after the long list I just gave you, assuming you have youngsters in your life, if you say you’d vote for him over her, then it’s very easy to see what you’re up to.

You are so out of touch with reality it isn’t funny.

Ever known? Wow that’s a pretty broad statement. Good thing you can back up a statement like that with specifics, otherwise it might be considered the most useless critique of a Palin America has ever known.

Explain your reasons for disqualifying Ron Paul (who I deem the only worthy and intelligent option).
Also, when was the last time someone quit their executive position and went on to higher office afterwards?

BS! THE TEA TERRORIST PARTY! BOB BECKEL CALLED THEM THIS MORE THAN ONCE TODAY ALONE! THE BACK LASH HAS JUST STARTED ON THE REPUBLICAN/TEAPUBLICAN PARTY! IF YOU “FEEL” FALIN PALIN HAS A CHANCE, VOTE FOR HER! IF AND WHEN SHE DECIDES TO RUN THAT IS!

How can someone be totally irrelevant and the focal point of such animosity at the same time?

I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but its liberals like you who created Sarah Palin. Your obsession with her is what got her a job on Fox and keeps her every word in the news cycle.

I find this fact to be HILARIOUS. She’s like meth to you liberals- meth that you made in your own basement and then got yourself hooked on.

All mediaite has to do is post something about Palin and here you are- like moths to the flame.

Here Martel specifically says she said nothing controversial, yet you still get all riled up just the same. It literally doesn’t matter what she says- Palin has you right where she wants you- that is to say, keeping her famous.

You’re wrong. She left Wasilla millions in debt, and did the same to Alaska. The PEOPLE got money when she raised oil taxes, but the state, not so much. You must have been one of the few people hypnotized by “The Unattended.”

Whoa..we did not create this monster. That would be the media who reported on her every lie as if she were important. That would be Sarah herself, who puts out a book with her name on it  or a tweet or a post written by someone else when she’s out of the news cycle for a few days. We comment on her because she is a danger to this nation. She lies, and has gotten away with it for too long.
  By the way, why did she not say anything about Gabby’s appearance and vote yesterday? Surely she wasn’t feeling guilty?

No, she’s “The Unattended” now.

Bet that will generate a hundred or so requests.

So you are fine with Koch taking over the country, with the  billionaires getting richer and creating no jobs, with the country becoming a theocracy and allowing only the domionists’ brand of Christianity? Sorry, I want the US to separate religion from government. I want all people to have a shot at success. I want a strong middle class. Her ‘ideas’ are horrible for this nation. Her ‘ideas’ will do nothing for the people, but will keep her wealthy. She is all about Sarah, and you still don’t see it.

The President is not supposed to write legislation. Not his job. Democrats did have plans…they got shot down by the naysayers…again. Just like single payer was the best health care plan, and would cover everyone at lower costs, and the GOP couldn’t allow Dems any success that might translate into votes…
Meanwhile, the grownups at HHS are making contraception available to all women, as well as mammograms and health services. That and Gabby’s return were the real stories yesterday, but Sarah didn’t know or didn’t care.

She’s starting to look old like the grandma she is.

 Ha/ Wouldn’t she actually have to live in her AZ mansion to run there? And, also, too, being a Senator requires more than pre-written speeches on Faux. She would actually have to read and work hard…two things that appear to be beyond her capabilities.

She’s Lady Voldemort.

Exquisite, exciting Gov. Sarah Palin is always eloquent, educational, & exhilarating when she comments on social & political issues. She is right about the economy, right for America.

If she’s so strong, why did she quit as governor of Alaska?

Nice how you whine about Palin’s detractors, then distract by whining about Obama.  You never did list the qualities that you think would make her a good POTUS.  

Nice how you whine about Palin’s detractors, then distract by whining about Obama.  You never did list the qualities that you think would make her a good POTUS.  

The VP calls american citizens “terrorists” and it doesn’t even garner a headline here.  You just can’t make this stuff up.

When will mediaite stop protecting this administration?  When will you start reporting some truth and fact?

We get f words in articles with Jon Stewart; we get garbage from msnbe, we get lots of trash talk about FNC, but when the VP calls US citizens “terrorists” (just like all those other dictators around the world) mediaite is silent?????

I
guess many posters here just aren’t smart enough to see the larger point of this
article, which is that Palin is constantly brought in to comment on the
big issues of the day but HAS NOTHING IMPORTANT TO SAY. It’s not
mediaite that failed in its journalistic pursuit, it’s Faux News, which
has built an entire channel on presenting a roster of Republican frauds, failures and phonies to create fact-free talking points that idiot Foxtards eat up and regurgitate on websites like this one.

You are real jerk. Sarah has more brains than you will ever have.

What would a self-descrived lib know? That alone makes you an idiot.

You’ve never met my brother-in-law.

I agree. It’s ignorance. But, Palin is extraordinarily proud of her ignorance.

I also agree about O’Van Susteren. She might well be the worst interviewer on television today, and she is a complete toady. 

US $5,000.00, GROSS receipts, nationwide last week. US $5,000.00.

Give it up, WC. I feel some empathy for you. I realize you full expected and feverishly desired that this film would be the next “Gone With the Wind” or “ET”. You were foolish to have such expectations, to be sure, but there was some charm in your naivety. Now that well all know what a stink bomb this was, it is all becoming a bit pathetic.

That ought to do great. In trailers across America, people will be turning off wrestling and reality television to watch the “Unattended” at US $3.50, per pop. Somehow, I don’t see it.

Who would run in the special election in 2015 to fill her unexpired term?

I hate Arby’s.

Palin didn’t run against President Obama in 2008. She helped President Obama defeat Senator McCain.

CVS,

You’re post assumes that the notion of Sarah Palin’s overexposure and inability to make even the ghost of a point is new to people. I think people are beyond her. She’s a huckster whose only goal is to bank as much cash as she can while the gravy train is still choo chooing.

Your*

Hey, Frances:  meow.

Be honest… Do you even think this woman is more intelligent than yourself? By the mere fact that you are on this website and can construct a non-run on sentence means not only that you are more well read but have a far superior command of grammar and the vernacular.

Eh it’s better than Crapper King

correction, sarah palin adds nothing to anything. Shouldn’t she be promoting her wildly successful documentary?

“Contrary to every other analysis of the deal out there– but not so much
so as to be a newsworthy opinion– Palin argued that ‘Obama did get what
he wanted,’ by which she referred to the fact that he would not ‘have to
deal with this issue until after the election.’”

For a site called “Mediaite”, you sure do seem ignorant about the wide range of analyses of this deal that are out there, Frances. Lots of folks have said exactly what Palin’s saying here. Obama’s primary goal(maybe his only goal aside from those elusive tax hikes) was to kick this can down the road past 2012. The last thing he wants to be forced to discuss next year is the out-of-control spending binge he and his party have undertaken since regaining control of the federal government. Hell, even a non-politico blowhard like Trump had the exact same take as Palin a few days ago.

Nacho_II is being a classless moron and trying to reignite the whole “Palin made Loughner shoot Giffords” narrative. I’m trying to figure out if that’s worse than the whole “Tea Partiers are terrorists, hostage takers, and suicide bombers” meme that the DNC and media is currently pushing.

You’re right. Why can’t these Tea Party types return to the real world? You know, the world where we can close a $14.5 trillion debt and $1.5 annual deficit by simply raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires and corporate jet owners. Man, it must be great to live in an adolescent fantasy like that one.

She managed to defeat a sitting governor who was a member of her own party with strong political ties and a deep warchest. She ran a successful administration by reaching across the aisle and working with Dems. She managed to root out corruption within the state government, forced the oil companies to back down, cut porkbarrel spending, and leave her state with a large surplus.

Sorry, but anyone who can do all of that while balancing the responsibility of raising a large family might not necessarily be a member of MENSA, but they’ve gotta be pretty damn sharp, not to mention one helluva a multitasker. As far as her intelligence within the realm of domestic policy, her record speaks for itself. She also is one of the few people I’m aware of who’s been dead on in predicting the outcomes of everything Obama’s set out to do since taking office. Even some allegedly brilliant economic minds failed to anticipate the destructive outcome of the Fed’s policy of quantitative easing. Palin warned about it a year ago.

As for world policy, that remains to be seen. Obviously as governor of Alaska, aside from overseeing the national guard in that state, her foreign policy credentials will be almost non-existent. But the same can be said of every other declared or prospective Republican nominee for 2012.

It’s not her documentary. Steve Bannon directed it. And he’s been promoting it heavily by doing Q&As at screenings all over the country. Palin attended the premiere in Iowa which is about all she really needed to do. As for the snarky “wildly successful” remark, Bannon invested a million bucks in the thing. If you think he’s not gonna make a nice little profit off of it in the end, you’re kidding yourself. The DVD sales alone(which BTW was always the intended revenue source for the documentary) will put the production in the black. The couple hundred grand it makes in theaters will just be gravy.

What are you talkin’ about? She was as spirited as she always is. Did you want her to throw out a couple of f-bombs like our esteeemed VP to prove how ticked she is? You guys are a joke. Always trying to find fault where there is none.

And yet you simply can’t quit her. How did that happen?

And yet you simply can’t quit her. How did that happen?

She had a massive approval rating because some Alaskans wanted anyone but Murkowski to be Governor.

No, that’s how she took him out in the primary. Are you really saying that Alaskans are so stupid that they gave her that record high rating as Governor because they didn’t want a guy who wasn’t governor any more being governor?

Which explains why this article is here and you’re commenting on it.

3 years and counting. 15 minutes was up 3 years ago.

Math is hard, huh?

Bill Ayers actually is a terrorist. This is the irony of the thing; people who won’t call actual honest to goodness terrorists “terrorists”, but will use the term for people who disagree with their debt policy.

but at the time advocates the government’s ability to regulate morality
is the type of person who sits on the TV to watch the sofa.

When does she do that?

She’s running? I did not know that. When did she announce?

How do you figure Ron Paul is a good option but Gary Johnson isn’t?

I am not at all a fan of Palin, but she is right om the publishing bills to the internet. This was a key promise in the 2012 Congressional elections and one they have yet to keep.

So while I do not agree with a lot of what she says, I agree with her here and appreciate her being the only one to have the stones to say it.

Great point, Sunset! Obama had more than 2 press conferences and speeches that were largely repeats of what he said the first time. Boehner did it . Reid did it. McConnell did it.

Every single one of the liars in DC kept talking and adding nothing to the discussion since it was known that they would wait until the last second and that they would then all heroically claim credit for pretty much doing nothing except dressing up a standard debt limit increase in a rented tux and calling it different.

And Palin did add something new – the failure of the promised public disclosure of legislation before voting it. Again, not a Palin fan, but I appreciate her bringing this up. Someone had to.

Give that up already.

One, the president cannot write legislation. Constitution. Article 1. Read it.

Two, the plans voted were non-starters and they knew it when they voted them. It was show and tell time for the kiddies and a waste of time for the people. Everyone knew that. Even Boehner knew it. They were passed as talking points.

Three, Ryan’s budget never had one hearing or public discussion until it was revealed. And the Ryan plan actually adds $6 trillion to the debt and never balances the budget (CBO report).

Four, you are correct. The Dem led Congress failed to produce a budget for over 2 years. That is one of the reasons they lost the House.

I notice the Mudflats crowd is out again.  Now, they are trying to engage:

“List the reasons why you think Governor Palin is qualified”

“Do you think she is smart?”

Knowing most of them voted for who we have now, I think Americans realize that Palin has what is first and foremost the most important qualification: executive experience!  Her executive experience is impressive because she has convictions.  She doesn’t back down from what she believes in.

I find it refreshing to see so many people out trying to re-iterate their positions either portraying her as someone who isn’t qualified or who is corrupt.  Because one year ago, they were begging us to run her as the GOP nominee.

The fact is Palin has to become President.  There is no way liberals will rest until their worst nightmare comes true.  They have made it abundantly clear, they haven’t gotten over her. 

Regarding foreign policy and nuclear policy, she has not one less ounce of experience than Obama did.  Nevertheless, that is what cabinets are for.  You surround yourself with experts to run the details and you direct them by your own personal convictions.

I’d rather have Palin doing that any day of the week than Obama for four more years.

HOWS “THE UNDEFEATED” DOING SARAH?

BAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Except after distribution and theater fees; the film will LOSE MONEY with it’s theatrical release.

Face it: no one cares about Palin and the only way DVDs will be sold, will be as gag gifts and that gift you give to old grandma. Even then, with manufacturing and distribution costs; they’re gonna had to sell ALOT of DVDs. BAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

BAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Your alliteration could use a little more work.

Is she running for president?

Sure, lets make this about how she “looks”. I was wondering when comments would turn that direction.

Here’s a newsflash Sarah. No one, other than Fox News viewers, give a crap what you say b/c we all know you are ignorant, and your lies are legion.  I challenge any Palinbot here to read “The Lies of Sarah Palin” by Geoffrey Dunn. And Guess what .. despite all the allegations therein, not ONE LAWSUIT has been filed .. hmmm, b/c they’re all true? AND, if you really want to know the truth about who Trig’s real mama is, let’s just say it ain’t sarah. When will she stop lying?   Sorry that the truth hurts … but these are the facts AND the truth! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZSVMzeR5jU

I’m going with “ignorant.”

Isn’t this the same woman of virtue who repeatedly referred to then-Senator Obama as “palling around with terrorists” while on the campaign trail in 08′?!?

Palin’s Accomplishments
Energy Independence, Development, and Environmental Stewardship
·          Governor Palin’s cornerstone accomplishment is AGIA (Alaska Gasline Inducement Act). During the Palin administration, TransCanada and Exxon formed an alliance to build a natural gas pipeline from Alaska to the Lower 48. Under Governor Palin’s governance, the project was expanded and revised from what previous governors had proposed with an open policy process for the Alaskan people. More progress was made on this effort than in the previous 30 years. This is the largest private sector infrastructure project in North American history and helps put us on the path to energy independence.
 
·         Her Alaska’s Clear and Equitable Share (ACES) legislation reformed oil taxes to make it in line with the state constitution, provide incentive for development, and removed corruption from the tax structure.
 
·         Governor Palin’s administration opened up drilling for oil and natural gas at Pt. Thompson for the first time in decades.
 
·         Governor Palin created the Alaska’s Petroleum Integrity Office to oversee all aspects of energy development and a Climate Change Subcabinet to comprehensively and honestly evaluate climate change.

 
Fiscal Conservatism
·         Governor Palin reduced earmark requests for the state of Alaska by 80% during her administration, requesting only earmarks that would benefit the country as a whole.
  
·         Governor Palin reduced spending in her budget for Fiscal Year 2010 by more than one billion dollars from the previous governor’s Fiscal Year 2007 budget, a 9.5% real reduction in spending. Her FY2010 budget was $10.57 billion compared to Governor Murkowski’s FY2007 budget of nearly $11.7 billion.  At the same time, she fulfilled her campaign promise to forward fund education, allowing districts greater flexibility and predictability in their planning.
 
·         She vetoed half a billion dollars in spending, the largest veto in state history.
Governor Palin opposed much of the “stimulus”, wanting only to accept 55% of the money allocated to Alaska, specifically only dollars dedicated to infrastructure [projects.  Although the Alaskan legislature ultimately overturned her veto, she stood firm on her commitment to help Alaska to become more self-sufficient while not adding to the skyrocketing national debt.
 
Governor Palin invested $5 billion in state savings.
 
Governor Palin reformed Alaska’s public employee retirement system to make it solvent.
 
    Walking the Walk on Fiscal Responsibility
·         Governor Palin sold the private jet purchased by the previous governor. She stated it was an unnecessary financial burden on the state, and it was impractical and unable to land on many of the state’s landing strips.
 
·         To cut costs that would be incurred by using a personal driver, the governor drove herself from Wasilla to her office in Anchorage. She also dismissed the governor’s personal chef at the Executive Mansion.

PABLO:
Completely forgot about him. I have no objections to him either. 

CITATIONS PLEASE

IF YOU GOOGLE THIS INFORMATION THERE DO NOT SEEM TO BE REPUTABLE WEBSITES WITH THIS INFORMATION: ONLY TEABAGGER AND PALIN FANSITES

She’s pro-life is she not? While one can be pro-choice and object personally to abortion, one typically when self-described as pro-choice advocates a repeal of roe vs. wade. 
Also she occasionally mumbles something about the sanctity of marriage. But after her daughters shortcomings on that issue it’s been a while since she’s voiced that particular opinion. 

Well you’re correct on that, she did not announce yet. In subsequent posts I state that it’s my opinion she isn’t serious and won’t run.

Next to Michele Bachmann, Palin is the dumbest woman in America today.  If she heard Biden or O’Biden as she calls him speak, he actually said that some members of the Democratic congress he met with said “the tea-party were terrorists,” Biden himself did not say that. Just how far up the mooses ass does your head have to be to have to achive this lack of understanding?

It’s called public record!  All of it is known fact especially the selling of the jet, the reducing of earmarks, the reduction in the budget, the spending vetoes, her rejection of the stimulus, the legislation she passed.  ALL of that is in the public domain.  I’m not giving you a book report, nor am I writing a college thesis.  I love when liberals and anti-Palin hysterics start screaming out “we need citations!” 

LOL, do they ask that of people who question the birth of her kid?

Get a life.

Most of this story was unnecessary. Apparently to Martel the story is not what Palin said but that Palin doesn’t make a fool of herself.

So let’s try a different angle.  Why don’t you write a list of pre-president accomplishments on Obama similar to the one I just provided on Palin.  Entertain us, please.

Even IF that were true, Joe Biden is the Vice President.  When someone makes an insane reference like that, you don’t perpetuate it by repeating it.  Especially when the same people who accused Sarah Palin of the shooting of Giffords for a political map (when the map was invented by liberals years ago) are calling for civility.

What you say in defense of Biden actually makes him worse if he was aware of what was being said and he chose to give it credibility by even repeating it to someone else.

Speaking of Fox… since Palin has admitted she’ll “make a decision” about whether she’s running for president by September, why is she still a paid talking empty head for the channel? They cut everyone else loose, but she’s still there jacking her jaws and criticizing people who are actually in the trenches doing something.

If it was public record; IT WOULD BE OUT IN THE PUBLIC AND EASILY SEARCHABLE

This info is only listed on PALIN FANSITES

And your response is “well, name what Obama did!!!”

TYPICAL PALINITE

Still waiting on the citations, obviously you got your information from SOMEWHERE besides the PALIN LOVESITES

And claims like “Governor Palin invested $5 billion in state savings. ”

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN???

But you can take more from the federal government than you pay into it…

Funny how eager she was to lodge ethics allegations against others… but when they came her way, she lied about their cost and then split to make millions telling more lies.

Isn’t it funny how the vast majority of ethics complaints against Palin came from Republicans, including those who had supported her in the past… but her followers insist they were lodged against her by “liberals?”
Facts don’t matter to Palin and her followers. It’s all about how they *feel* or what they *want* to believe.

I wouldn’t look at any bills congress has even if there ever online because that would be boring to look at or read as well. So I don’t care if they ever put the bills online I will not read it. Be my guess for those that want to read boring stuff like what congress is voting on.

Let’s start with your first reason: “·          Governor Palin’s cornerstone accomplishment is AGIA (Alaska Gasline Inducement Act). During the Palin administration, TransCanada and Exxon formed an alliance to build a natural gas pipeline from Alaska to the Lower 48.

Well, we all know that THAT IS INCORRECT. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2008/sep/15/palins-pipeline-less-meets-eye/

I can knock down your “reasons” with citations, why can’t you prove them with citation? AND I CAN KEEP GOING IF YOU LIKE.

Maybe you should spend a few hours with the Internet and some reading.

Biden was explaining to reporters. the vast differences in the opinions of those in these talks, not “perpetuating” anything.  But go ahead, keep assuming, you know what happens when you do that,right?

According to Sarah so is geography, economics, and ethics. She is fading into irrelevancy, anyone who doesn’t see that is either stupid or lying. But if you are a republican….it’s both. 

And you’re whats wrong with this country. I can see why it’s “The Rock” and not “The Brain”.

So to be fair, I assume you were morally outrages when nurse ratchet decreed that Obama was “palling around with terrorist”?
Obviously because I’m sure consistency is a virtue to you, as soon as she said it, you rushed to your computer and like a true keyboard warrior you defended the virtues of rational and logical political debate. 

All the Politifact link debunks is the idea that she created the project.  It does not refute the fact that she made the most progress on it in thirty years.  It also does not debunk the fact that it is the largest infrastructure project in North America.  I will concede what Politifact suggests — their problem was with her speeches in 2008.  To them, she was suggesting she was the architect behind it (including its creation) which she never did.  She merely got more done on the project than anyone else had since it began. 

You’re trying to play games with words.  But all of those points are indeed, including the selling of the jet, the firing of the chef, the slashing of nusiance taxes like tire taxes and cutting the bedget, rejecting earmarks, and cutting the budget by 10%.

In addition, where was your list pf pre-president accomplishments for Obama?  I took the time to gather those for you that you still cannot debunk. 

Well, if you listened to her speeches in 2006, 2007, and 2008, she clearly stated that she wanted to slash spending and even laid out how they were going to do it and EVEN got applause from the Democratic legislators.  With these savings, these cuts (to the tune of $5B) were deposited into the state’s strategic reserves accounts. 

THAT’S WHAT IT MEANS!
@MColins:disqus 

She did not get the $5B from annual budget cuts alone, mind you, she also got it through spending vetoes. 

Glad to be of service.  We can go on all night if you’d like.  Or maybe you should just go back to the Mudflats where logic and truth is not required.

Why did Biden need to explain it?  Liberals perpetuate the rhetoric whenever they can and whine about crosshairs on a political map in the case of Sarah Palin.  He didn’t need to explain it.  Everybody heard the liberals yesterday.  Why repeat it if you’re not trying to induce the idea?

Please please please Sarah, run for President. The Country needs you.

Did you READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE? It DOES debunk the fact that it was the biggest infrastructure project.

Once again; WHERE ARE YOUR CITATIONS?

It did not take you much time to C&P those thoughts from the multitude of FANSITES I see saying the same things, in the same language, in the same order…

SURE IS HILARIOUS WATCHING YOU RACE TO DEFEND HER THOUGH

Actually, Palin was merely stating the fact that he had a relationship with Bill Ayers, no matter how pesy that fact is to a guy like you.  Stating a fact is not a gateway to violence.  Yet, stating something crazy like Biden did which is not a fact is childish, especially now that it comes AFTER this cry for civility and love from the left.

The first step to recovery from addiction is to admit you have a problem.

Do we need to stage an intervention for you or are you ready to seek help yourself?

For God sakes, even her NOT saying something (about Gabby Giffords) invites scorn from you.

Trust me- you made her. She’d be as relevant as McCain is, which is to say not at all, if liberals didn’t have such an appetite for her destruction.

Seriously? You must be joking. 

Palin quit as Governor of Alaska halfway through her term. She’s a quitter. Why would anyone thing such a person should be POTUS? She’s not to be trusted. Do you not read? 

Americans are realizing that McCain made a huge mistake when he chose Palin as his running mate. He also did a great disservice to the American people in unleashing her onto the Nation. She’s a quitter and self serving. She will never be President. Too many Americans are on to her. Her lies have caught up with her. 

She continuously spews “word salad.” And it irritates the ever loving tar out of me every time I hear Greta call her “Governor.” She’s a former governor who didn’t even have the decency to finish out her term. She’s a quitter. 

She’s a quitter. She should not hold office again, at any level.

And what was the parameters of their relationship? Are you even aware factually? 

Yes I read.  They’re called facts.  And since I know of the facts surrounding her selfless resignation, your characterization is deemed dishonest or ill-informed.  Either way, you’re not in a position to advise.

Who gives a flying f*ck if Sarah Palin is upset? She is nobody, a private citizen with a built-in soapbox at fox “News”. That’s the only difference between this empty shell and the people commenting here on this blog. Her opinion means less than nothing. Who exactly does she think she is?

The bigger question is whether or not Sarah Palin is relevant to the political discourse anymore? 

Yes, in some Republican quarters, to die hard Tea Party goers and to her paymasters at the Fox Network and those that have seen her big movie debut. Otherwise politically speaking, she started to lose relevance when her title became Former…

Oh wow, Publius. That’s an original, entirely fact-free conclusion. Good job!

No, not just “Knowledgeable about energy”:

If that’s true Frances, our nation is in deep deep trouble.

When Palin’s looks slide from MILF to GMILF, half her “qualifications” are lost.

Where’d you C&P all that crap from? SP’s facebook?

Maybe it’s right from Palin’s facebook?

How’s that jury duty going, Sarah?

Wonder why Greta didn’t ask SP when she’s going to restart her bus tour (the one that she so totally didn’t quit too).

Sarah Palin will win the Presidency of the United States of America in 2012, in a landslide.
Mark my words.

She’s still at Fox because she doesn’t plan to run and never planned to run. She just wants to keep milking her followers of their money for as long as she possibly can.  She’s got to be tickled pink over how easy it is to hustle money from stupid people.

please tell me that you don’t think the repubs are “leaders”. Please.

In addition to her “in-capabilities”, sne als apprears to be lazy with a very short, child-like attention span. I’ve yet to hear anyone accuse her of being a hard-worker.I’ve read that some Wasilla locals have allegdely said she has always gotten by by winking and blinking and scheming, and has never really had to work in her prior positions. Someone else [e.g., supposedly, a city administrator in city of 6,000 that also has a full time (?) mayor, actuallly ran Wasilla] always did the “actual work” at her jobs.  I’m sure that participating in debates, esp with the Pres., and actually being President scares her to death because she will eventually be totally exposed.

She appears so unkempt and raggedy. Hair not combed; crazy, inappropriate, juvenile clothes. Looks like she just rolls out of bed and finds a camera to screech in front of and disrespects the President and anyone else she thinks deserves her vitriol that day. Grow up Sarah or go home.
