I wonder if they think they got their money's worth.
Now let's see if they do Obama's (Bill Ayers') books.
Palin was 10x the fighter as McCain.

He was a tremendous FLOP!

How much is enough? A question that supporters of the current administration never have an answer to so one can only assume the answer is, we won't be satisfied until we have your entire paycheck.

Obama's 2010 (one year) Welfare budget is more than the last President spent on the Iraq war during his entire time in office... see what I mean.

What is a "Welfare budget?" And how do you know what the last president spent on the Iraq war? He kept those numbers out of the budget. And how does any of this relate to the stupendously dishonest book by Sarah Palin?

Well Jen, http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/54400

As for Palin where are you going with this and why? She holds no office, she's not running for anything and she's not the President of the USA. Sorta like banging your head over and over again against a brick wall because of your personal hatred of her isn't it. What if anything are you trying to accomplish?

Have you looked at all the outright lies in her book? She is, as the McCain aid says in this article, truly petty and pathetic.
For example, she claims to have always been against the government bail-out -- which she attributes entirely to President Obama. But the bail-out started under President Bush, and she is on record as supporting them in October, 2007.
She claims to have always opted for the cheapest hotels, the least expensive ways to travel so as not to overly charge her state while living off the Alaskans as governor. But while campaigning, she often brought her children to venues to which they were not invited, and charged $20,000.00 to Alaska in hotel bills for that alone.(For example: She charged $3000.00 for five days of hotel in New York for a $720.00/night luxury hotel that she requested she have Bristol join her for -- and she charged that money to Alaska.)And yes, I realize that she should have her children with her. But at $720.00/night??? If I lived in Alaska, I'd be annoyed.
She was warned not to have direct talks with contractors who were bidding on the pipeline in Alaska. She spoke with each of them, and then ended up hiring a lobbyist from the company that won the bid! Yet she brags in her book about ending the connection between government and lobbyists in Alaska. It's an outright lie.
She's AWFUL. Corrupt and stupid. Vote for her? Because the media doesn't like her? How about making up your mind based on the candidate's record?
Thanks for the tip. Thats is exactly why I did not vote for the current community American idol in chief. Not much record to run on...100 days in the senate voting "present" except for TARP which he voted for and counts on imbeciles like you to not know or care that he did while he acts like it was someone elses fault. Or maybe his community organizing in Chicago spending 50 mil taxpayer dollars on the S. Chicago school sysytem which after the cash influx, went further down. Obama whines they didint have enought money...what a shameful disgrace.

I would say that means you would like her better if she went to Jeremiah Wrights church for 20 years? Once again, Obaby thanks the minute IQ of his drooling followers to have glaring facts screamed into their faces, all the while with a dreamy, stupid look on their face. Like yours.

Funny! That's the George Bush describes himself also. Amd he wound up with a democrud congress in his second term. Take your "compassion", as misdirected as it is,and stick with the RINOs in the RNC.

Aren't you the one with nearly 5,000 comments on this forum? With your craving for attention and limitless babbling, I'd say you're the one that's full of herself. Pot, meet kettle.

So, apparently you have read the book and researched all the claims you say are lies, right? If not SHUT YOUR LIBERAL PIE HOLE! You all sound like angry teenage girls, mad at the world, your reasoning would confuse a mathmetician and all you do is hate, spew, hate spew..etc. Hard on you that her book is beating Larry Obamas like a red headed step child. A mob will attack that which causes it fears; a cowardly act. Liberalism=cowardice.

So tell me you neo-conservatives, Who or where is your next "Great Hope" (I was going to use the phrase
"Great White Hope, but I would be accused of being a racist) going to come from to take on the current President?
It does not sound like Alaskan Mountie Sgt. Palin who patrolled the wilds of Wasilla with her horse Rex and her faithful companion Alaskan King,who battles both the RHINO's and the liberal media, is adequately qualified for the job.

No. He won the presidency. Sara lost the vice-presidency, then decided to leave the governorship and call it not quitting. I don't think it's a fair or accurate comparison.

Well, heck, if you give the book away then for sure it will "sell" real well. If you hock it all over the Fox News channel and hundreds of radio stations, then yeah, it's a good bet that the book will sell. The inconvenient truth that the facts don't match up with what Palin says shouldn't stop you from purchasing, reading, and then eating up every word of what Ms. Palin has to say. And it won't. Because your answer to the frustrations plaguing you is to name-call and shout. You're not thinking -- only reacting. Good luck, friend. You'll need it.

I think I've made myself clear as to why I'm going on about Palin. She's positioning herself for future candidacy in high office. She is being sold to the American people as something and someone she is not. And people are buying the story -- all of this makes me very uncomfortable if not nervous for our future. Sarah Palin does not tell the truth, does not complete her work, and does not understand nor practice ethical behavior.

BTW, CNS News? Seriously? You're making me want to pull up a story from Air America for you.

Where does the SEIU and ACORN get these people to man their computer banks. Probably union officials who aren't needed for organizing, at the moment. Or else, indoctrinated college students who need the money.

Looks like the love blind are out as well. It isn't a matter of hate, just don't comprehend the fascination. I can certainly dismiss Sarah Palin as an oddity; an ill spoken, clueless, self-serving bimbo. Nothing frightening about that. But what is a bit on the scary side, are the many presumably intelligent people who have been blinded by her...by her...um...? I guess if Charles Manson & Adolf Hitler, had the ability to induct once rational, intelligent people into their cult and convince them to do the unthinkable, why not Sarah Palin.

If you are bewildered and silent when everyone else is laughing and cheering, perhaps you don't know what's going on.

It doesn't matter what is in her book. It is all public information, her thinking she is telling us something we don't already know, and sensationalism for the almighty buck. Those who follow her will buy it, those who don't won't. Life will go on and Sarah Palin will remain the political joke she has always been since her days in Wasilla.
