Sarah Palin is doing a gosh-darned great job staying in the public eye here in the lower 48—so much so that, according to scuttlebutt picked up by CNN, some fellow GOP types at the Republican Governors Association pow-wow in Miami were grumbling about her stealing the spotlight. Here she is during Thursday’s press conference at the RGA meeting.

The media should stop this 2012 BS about Plain. Who in his or her right mind is gonna vote for palin?? would you? People say she energized the Republican base blah, blah but that was when they didn’t know her very well. After 5 weeks what happened? Poll said over 60% disfavored her. Even if it’s 2016 she hardly stand a chance. She’s a half baked, half qualified, half intuitive, half educated so-called politician. Sorry if Im too harsh here but…. I sit here wondering how the hell she became governor when she cannot know simple kindergarten stuff like countries and continents, basic political knowledge like NAFTA members and the list goes on and on. She’s there now in Alsaka, trying to show toughness and pick up the pieces of her broken reputation. Good luck to her but let her rest assured, winning evena primary in 2012 is like finding needle in a haystack.

A BIT OF GOOD NEWS…seems the Rethug governors want no part of Palin in a leadership role. Maybe this sent a message loud and clear enough to penetrate even her thick skull…GO HOME to Alaska where you belong!

Damn Alaska, and especially Wassila, for unleashig this pollution onto the rest of us. Like a fellow above me said this woman will try to force her way into the limelight in the run up to 2012, I just hope that America doesnt lose its little bit of sensibility and actually allow her to win anything. She is in the bottom .5% of the population, and she does not deserve an audience.

This uninvited person is “GOING TO PLOW HER WAY” into every aspect of ours lives for the next 4 years whether we want her to or not. She does not have the common sense or decency to go away. Her lack of respect for other living things is well known.

Sarah the WOLF KILLER is already getting another season of killing wolf mothers and pups in Alaska ready, even though it is illegal to kill wolf pups in Alaska, and she thinks it is funny-latest info from Defenders of Wildlife 11-14-08. Anyone with such disregard for other lifeforms has no business in a position of power. She has already shown she will abuse power when she can and just like G.W. will claim she has done nothing wrong(according to her hand picked panel of judges)even though other more credible sources find otherwise.

She needs to stay home and take care of her defective child she has no time for, her soon to be grandmother status(if not one already) and help her daughter with her newest baby, teach her other daughters to keep their legs closed just to start with. Being on the election trail all the time and not doing her job as Governor or wife or mother has shown the world that she should have stayed out of politics as it’s toll on her daughter are obvious. She should resign as governor and do as she claims her church and her God teach, go home and be Todd’s servant and caregiver to your children. Your lack of parenting skills have been exposed to the world and they are sorely lacking, just as your intelligence and life experience are known to be lacking every time you open your mouth with out a prescripted speech. 

Go home and shut up Sarah. We are not interested in hearing another 4+ years of your whinny voice. How Todd puts up with it is beyond me, unless he has ways to stop the talking….........

We just had the longest campaign in history and now they are starting the run for 2012 since Nov.5 2008. Three months are too long for a presidential election, but 4 years? No one will give a damn and be so sick of hearing from the Alaskan non-stop talking moose turd, they will not vote for her.

The governors at this conference don’t know what to do about Palin, and the leadership of the Republican Party is to blame. The RNC needs to step up and deal with Palin sooner than later, before she throws the GOP into even deeper chaos. John McCain isn’t helping much with his recent appearance on the Tonight Show, where he lavished praise on Palin as being an important part of the country’s future. And this man was almost elected president. As the party’s most recent candidate for president, he should be its de facto leader, but he has totally abdicated that role, leaving a vacuum into which Palin has opportunistically inserted herself. Sort of a vacuum within a vacuum.

To me is appears as if her selection as vp for mccain has put her heads above the rest of the republican govenors and that they appear to be looking at her every word for what they must do. And all her talk is bullshit rhetoric because there was no concrete plan on any issue, it was all ‘well there are things that need to be done and when we get them done we will go fix the next things the need to be done and we need to fix the money and ....’ truly a bunch of republican doublespeak to make the ingnorrated part of the people believe that they, the republican governor’s ‘team’ can ‘get done what needs to be got done and all done for the good of what the people want to be done’.
This nut is a done deal, anyone with that amount of emptiness is sure fire prime republican electable material, and I add the same for the democrats.

The GOP as created a monster and the Media, liking monsters as they do, will now provide this monster with a platform.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/sarahpalin/3405336/Sarah-Palin-blamed-by-the-US-Secret-Service-for-death-threats-against-Barack-Obama.html

The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of “palling around with terrorists”, citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers.

The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling “terrorist” and “kill him” until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.

But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.

The Secret Service warned the Obama family in mid October that they had seen a dramatic increase in the number of threats against the Democratic candidate, coinciding with Mrs Palin’s attacks.

...

The revelations, contained in a Newsweek history of the campaign, are likely to further damage Mrs Palin’s credentials as a future presidential candidate. She is already a frontrunner, with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, to take on Mr Obama in four years time.

Details of the spike in threats to Mr Obama come as a report last week by security and intelligence analysts Stratfor, warned that he is a high risk target for racist gunmen. It concluded: “Two plots to assassinate Obama were broken up during the campaign season, and several more remain under investigation. We would expect federal authorities to uncover many more plots to attack the president that have been hatched by white supremacist ideologues.”

 

Note, though, that the reporter is dead wrong with regard to this as “likely to further damage Mrs Palin’s credentials as a future presidential candidate.”

Half of Americans still remain ingorant.

Sarah Palin, won’t this person ever shut up? Do we now have to listen to another eight years of her whining about the interviews that “misquoted” her and caused her to look bad.
She with the intellect of a slug, could not even name a magazine that she read within the last 6 months, could not name a case other than Roe v. Wade that she disagreed with.
How in the world, are we the people supposed to trust our nation to someone who lacks the native intelligence to figure out the Supreme Court and the latest articles in even Woman’s Day.
This is a sad commentary on the Grand Orgy Party, that Sarah Palin, is looking forward to the 2012 elections to make a splash on the scene of presidential politics. For she is by far the worst candidate that could emerge from the pack of people that will be running on the Republican ticket.
Would to all that is holy, that she fade away with the time and ensuing years.
If anyone is out there who can keep track of the antics of this dumb bunny, please do so, if not for your sake, but also for the sake of the nation as a whole.

As they say, “How can we miss you when you won’t go away?”.  Enough already.  She’s become akin to scratching at a scab.

BaxterJ: “why is Sarah Palin still talking?

Answers:

1. She is immensely popular with the Republican Traditionalists.
2. She is preparing to run in the 1012 Republican Primaries.
3. She is ogling a seat in the US Senate as a stepping stone towards that goal. If Stevens is ousted she can appoint herself. The Republican Traditionalists will cheer.

Comment:

If President Obama does not fail badly she has not the slightest chance to become our next President in 2012.
