This woman is worse than a fly at a 4th of July picnic.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if she would just disappear; maybe do something productive with her life like go back to school. Perhaps she could study political science, geography, or parenting.

Anyhow, if she were ever elected to the National stage, I would move to Russia. Inland, so I wouldn't have to see her.

I might give her a passing glance if she decided to take up law or political science. I was amazed by her at first. She has a way of carrying herself and has a strong determination...and then she spoke. She has everything she needs except for the know-how. Cutesy winks and one-liners only carry you so far. If she wants a small chance of even winning the nomination, she'd better do something productive with this time.

I predict a reality show involving moose hunting and Dick Cheney. Pool anyone?

I'll lay odds that Cheney blows her away before the end of the third season. Republicans after that will be stumped how to promote responsible gun usage.

my guess is that another ethics investigation was about to emerge, maybe even a recall campaign. She is living proof that stupidity is not not incompatible with corruption. She is morally bankrupt.

Hopefully it will be to stay at home with her children like she should have in the first place. i voted fot McCaine did not like that he chose her as his running mate, because as a "Christian Woman" like she claims to be she has no business working outside the home.
I said the same exact think about moving out of the country if Obama won....my husband and I were very serious, he got a job offer in China. No need to worry anymore, the US will be as ungodly as any other country with Obama's socialisim. What comforts me is that God is in absolute control and that He put Obama as head as our country to accomplish His perfect will and it is what it is....

This country was already heading for ungodly-ness or already there well before Obama stepped in. As a Christian, I'm often conflicted between God and this country. There is no such thing as "God and Country. There's God. And then there's Country. With the latter persistently trying to get rid of the former.

I think she's been trying to disappear. Katy Olberman won't let her.

This country would be so much better if mothers stayed home and took care of their kids. Plus it would help reduce the unemployment rate.

So get the bleedin' Christ out of the USA! Iran seems your style, or North Korea. You'd just have to change brands of hokum and stupidity, after all.

Are there REALLY some porn photos floating around?

Just like a broken clock that is right twice a day, Kramphammer can get something right!

"Charles Krauthammer on Fox the other day drove that point home by completely dismissing her as a potential candidate:

Krauthammer: Now, as to Palin, I agree entirely with what Mara [Liasson] said -- she is, she has star power without any doubt, she has an extremely devoted following, but she is not a serious candidate for the presidency.

She had to go home and study and spend a lot of the time on issues with which she was not adept last year. And she hasn't.

She has to stop speaking in cliches and platitudes. It won't work. It could work for eight weeks if you're the No. 2 candidate, as she was last year. But even so, she got singed a lot in that campaign. You cannot sustain a campaign of platitudes and clichés over a year and a half if you’re running for the presidency.

Wow, just because I disagreed with the last two administrations? Bush turned us into terrorists and Obama is pretty set on supporting legalized murder in the form of abortion. Take our whores/icons like Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears, and throw into the mix our obsession with greed and power. Any country who doesn't share our views will be destro...erm, "liberated."

But unlike you, I haven't given up on my country, hence while I'm still here. Now run along, I believe your Rush Limbaugh program is starting. Idiots like him would like this country to be a dictatorship in the sense that if you don't like it, GTFO. Wow - now THAT'S the American way!

People like you and him have the best brands of hokum.

Our country was founded on FREEDOM of RELIGION and what has divided it repeatedly to different parties politically and to North and South has been the belief of one religious group that it is better and therefore more worthy of respect to control the government.
All the Taliban Terrorists are fighting to make their religion rule the world and to kill everyone who doesn't belong to it. During the Inquisition the Catholics committed genocide to rid the world of Non-Catholics, Hitler tried to rid the world of jews and Catholics and any belief that didn't agree with his and all the Adultering Republicans including Newt Gingrich and Rush Limpdic try to make the rest of us follow their rules and change our laws to fit their desires. they bill themselves as the "Religious majority" when it appears their Religious morals are those of a tomcat.
When Religious groups band together to try and change a law that they disagree with they are basically trying to shove their belief down the throats of all! If you disagree with abortion then just don't have one.....Just because I don't care for beets and think they are putrid doesn't mean I am going to try to ban them so you can't have them!
I do not believe that life begins at conception any more than I believe that death begins with a wart. If I do not want a child I will take precautions but in many cases all the precautions in the world don't work and in the case of abstinence Rape ends that! If a conception occurs, I want the choice given to me by law and my own personal beliefs to end that pregnancy and if I do so it is no ones business but mine my partner and my doctor.

the "holier than thous" need a kick in their collective religious backsides and the government needs to start taxing them on their property and their earnings....... that would give them less money to hire their lobbyists and to bribe the legislators.

The only reason she ever had a chance in Alaskan politics is that there are 9:1 horny-men to woman there. Imagine a balding middle-aged man with her intelligence and experience getting elected. Or, try and imagine her getting elected governor anywhere BUT Alaska. Yea, a snowball's chance in her underwear!!

She's an insult to intelligence everywhere. What was Rove thinking?!!
