The Note

Given the choice of hearing her voice or fingernails on chalkboard, I will choose the latter.

I hope & pray Sarah Palin gets lost in the Alaska backwoods and that the Republicans get someone else that is a lot more prepared and doesn't have such an irritating voice before the next election. To me, she is the Pelosi of the Republicans. I am a died in the wool republican and while I voted for McCain, it was only for the party!!

If Palin becomes the "frontrunner" before anyone votes in next election cycle, it will be only because the media pundits SAY she is. Everyone remember President Guiliani?

I think, I hope, we are done with uneducated dumb republicans. We are living with the consequences of stupidity. Did anyone see the Bush interview. It's as though he was riding above the presidency, not responsible for anything, as though the president isn't really in charge of anything. things just 'happen" according to Bush. That is the epitomy to someone who thinks the car "just drives itself" and has noclue the reason it hit the wall wasbecause you didn't steer it and you didn't hit the breaks. Whether this women continues to hold offices that would have her very limited brain make major influencial decisions is up to the American people and how stupid they are. I think when folks have jobs and houses they feel free to be reallyk stupid. When they see their houses possiblly being lost, their jobs going away, and are faced with homelessness and cheese lines, all of a sudden folks get alot smarter. why? why not just be smart all the time. It's just a quesiton of whether Americans have learned anything.

Everybody is getting "hooked" on the Obama "expressway". After for years of "obamanation" policies, Sarah Palin will be a welcome pick for everybody.
The media tried to "kill her off", but failed. She is the enxt Ronald Reagan that truly will unite this country.
Palin/Huckabee - 2012

She reeks of desperation.

"I am a died in the wool republican and while I voted for McCain, it was only for the party!!-"...I have to agree that was incredibly stupid. Why would you ever vote "for the party"????? You want to tank this country entirely into a depression, "for the party"? You want to completely ruin us for good "For hte party"??? It's treason to put party before country. if you konw in your heart that your party picked someone who was horrible, you should have NOT voted for your party, and done so "for your party" because NOTHING sends teh message that they must dobetter next time than for them to LOSE this time. You are enabling stupidity when you support it.

PLEASE! Palin is still an idiot! The fact that she's continuing to campaign for the Republicans shows that the GOP are idiots also.

I was beginning to wonder where my daily dose of Sarah Palin news was. The news is so boring and lackluster when there isn't even one Sarah Palin story. Fortunately, not a day has gone by in the past few months where there hasn't been at least one story about her. Chosen as a scapegoat for a campaign that was doomed to lose, Palin is proving ever day that she has a better understanding of the Republican base then the old goats who hold the power.

Lot's of people think we should have someone as uninformed, poorly spoken, and just plain ignorant as Sarah Palin running the country. These are the same people showing up for her Georgia appearances that think George Bush is doing a good job running the country, and that its better to have someone stupid like Bush/Palin in office than someone who knows what they are doing. You see, the Republican cuts to education spending really do have an effect!

The only type of person who can 'unite' this country is a fiscal conservative who doesn't like abortion, but will keep it legal. That is thebest you can do. The majority of americans want to keep abortion legal even though within that group and are a HUGE number who would never get an abortion themselves and think it's wrong. MOST people know the question of abortion is about what is OUR ROLE in women other than ourselves getting them. Do WE have the power, should we have the power to FORCE a women to maintain a pregnancy and birht a baby against her will. That is SUCH an extreme position nobody who actuallly advocates the involuntary servitude of forced pregnanices and birth as anyone who could 'unite". It's oppressive and sexist. Half the population are women and most of them are NOT for FORCING women to maintain their pregnancies even if they'd like for them to. It's all about how much control do you feel comfortable forcing on a women, and nobody who is for such extreme oppression of women and girls would ever be person capable of uniting. In fact, nobody who want to shove their religion on everyone is going to unite anyone. Over 90 of thie country says they believev in God and that is on many levels and with many intricacies, so when one extreme religion declares themselves the "Only true Christians" you just turned off a HUGE segment of society. When you start saying because of YOUR religion school systems can't teach health class thoroughly you cannot unite. republicans need to get a perspectivev to be able to respect moderates in this country. Christian moderates who do not buy into their extreme views and who do NOT appreciate the wing nuts trying to legislate them.

Numerous other political operatives came through Georgia this past month, but only Governor Palin received this much publicity.

I watched the Republican convention enough to see many of the other 2012 candidates (Pawlenty, Huckabee, Romney, etc.) speak, and only Governor Palin and MAYBE Romney had the abilty to energize the Republican base from the podium.

Yes, right now Governor Palin can draw the base, but it is still to be determined if she can develop the policy depth and breadth to make a concerted run in 2012 or 2016.

However, before you totally write her off, just remember a lesson from history: Richard Nixon lost the 1960 presidential election and everyone wrote him off (His famous line: You won't have Richard Nixon to kick around anymore...) only to have him turn around and win the 1968 election. Four or eight years is an eternity in politics, and anything can happen.

WHY ISN'T PIPER IN SCHOOL? I saw her on the local news at an event with her mother. SOmebody needs to investigate this. In the state of Goergia children who do not attend school are considered neglected and their parents often have to go to Juvinile court to explain themselves.

I look to Governor Palin as an American that chose to make her part of the world a better place--what was broken, she fixed and she didn't care if those that were breaking it were Republicans--she tossed them out. Does that make her Presidential material? No. She sure has a more tangible leadership trail that the PE, however.

Sarah Palin has got to be one of the most inspirational politicians of our time. She rose to power completely on her own (as opposed to marrying rich men like clinton, pelosi, huffington). She climbed into the goveronor's chair battling corruption that resulted in those guilty being fired and/or going to jail. Also, after she became gov SHE SOLD THE PRIVATE JET, FIRED THE PRIVATE JET AND GAVE THE $$$ TO THE STATE OF ALASKA!!!
You can bet your a** that Barry O and al gore will travel the country in private jets telling all of us to drive less or or turn our thermostats down because of global warming...eerrr. climate change (now that the whole warming thing isn't working out too well).

PALIN 2012!

The phrase "open-mined liberal" is about as laughable as "liberal patriot".
Just look at liberals treatment of Palin. What is it about a strong, intelligent, attractive, Christian, pro-life, conservative, America-loving, happily married woman that terrifies them so much???

Barry O claims that we should all live like Indians to help the environment and that he is the messiah of the poor, meanwhile he gives michelle a $30,000 ring and flies in a private to go play basketball in Hawaii.

dave - The lat time I checked Bill Clinton was not wealthy when he and Hillary got married. I do not knot about Pelosi or Huffington. Yeah Palin is definately an inspiration. She sure inspired alot of people to vote for President elect Barack Obama. That is inspiration I can believe in!

Get over yourself!! You may not like Sarah Palin or her political views, but that doesn't mean everyone who does like her is ignorant. It's sad to know that there are such closed-minded, intolerant people like you in the world. Try opening your mind.
