These 4 interviews with Professor Jeff Cohen give you an idea of what Palin has up her sleeve with the Republicans:

I’ve been saying it for quite some time. She will be the next president and the Right will not even have to steal it. Stupidity is an asset in Amerikan politics.

Funny now, but could be true in the future. Mark my words, she will be the next American president.

How did an obscure half wit governor of Alaska get the nod for VP and now the media darling of the neocons? Well, it seems a cruise with the likes of Bill Kristol and hundreds of other neocons stopped over in Alaska and paid a visit to Sara.They soon discovered she was an empty vessel, much like the sock puppet George W. Bush, and didn’t have, to use an old expression, a brain in her body. In other words, the Israeli Lobby and their powerful media backers, Kristol, Broder, Krauthammer, Klein,Podhoretz, Drudge,FOX NEWS Jonah Goldberg, the list goes on, all know that they can control Palin. The push to bomb and possibly invade Iran and any other middle eastern country in the cross hairs of the Project for a New America Zionist would meet with no resisitance from the Palin administration.

It is scary that this cabal are the king/queen makers of American politics. To elevate such a misfit to actually be a presidential candidate shows their power. Be afraid, be very afraid. Read this site and Anti-War.Com daily for unfiltered news about unfolding events that could shape your future.

MarthaA:I fear you are correct.They will steal yet another election and drive the final nails into the coffin that will be known as America.

This moron went over seas and gave a speech to businessmen,who do know how to run a business correctly and told them how to run a business.Her answer is less government regulation on big business,the same thing Bush allowed in excess and that’s why we are in the mess we are now.Funny,just like G.W. who bankrupted every business he had, this one cuts and runs(when things get tough)a line made famous during the Bush years pertaining to his illegal lied for wars in the M.E.

I hate to even imagine what she would do to the country by allowing special interests,whom have paid her well, would do to all of us little people. A woman who wanted to secede Alaska from the rest of the country and then tells Americans:America,love it or get the hell out. Her manners and working are as insultive as Cheney’s telling Americans constantly to “go fuck themselves” whenever anyone said something he didn’t like.

We do not need another dodo in the position to bring on more wars as she has already stated during the 2008 campaign she leans toward and still does without looking at the situation with true facts, logic and reasoning.In fact Sarah has shown she lacks self control,flies off the handle,fails to understand what is actually said to her,is a proven liar just like G.W.,plays the G card as in God card like G.W.,has a past history of backstabbing friends and enemies alike, still thinks of herself as Governor of Alaska,treats her fans as peons as when she was book signing stint, it was mandatory that “you do not speak to Sarah unless she talks to you first”.She still calls herself governor though she isn’t.Just like an imperial attitude thinking she is “queen Sarah”, like King George from 2000-2009.One would think that she is on the rag all the time or else menopausal.This is not to sound sexist but it fits her irrational behavior.

She claims her goal in life is to be a good mother.She has failed that in spades.Recalling her rhetoric from the campaign trail in 2008 and her so called beliefs,  she has not lived up to any of them.If she truly did, she would be at home taking care of her husband and children and not running all over the world showing her ignorance to the rest of the world.

After her first speech of a list of over 900 speaking requests we did not see anymore until her book tour on a book totally written by a ghost writer,with numerous lies about other people mentioned in her book,not the tea party outer fringe.After hearing some of the racist, hate filled words from Tom Tancredo,who spoke just before Sarah,we know her feeling about others not of her select group of people.In fact her father stated recently the reason it took her so many colleges to complete a 1 year course was she didn’t like the Asians,Hawaiians and other ethnic peoples.SO she has a problem with people of different ethnic origins-tough if you want to be POTUS you have to accept all of us or none of us, not the people “ONLY YOU” want to Ms. Palin.
Sarah only represents herself and whoever is paying her the most money at the time and you still cannot guarantee that either as she is known to stand people up after the commitment is made.

And to the men out there who think she is God’s gift to them.Quit thinking with your d-ck!In real life you would never choose someone like Sarah let alone put up with her whiny voice and her attitude,a woman who wears glasses turns men off and they would not put up a female who doesn’t know her place,as her church teachings on a womans role in life are ignored by her 100%,they do not tolerate women like Sarah in real relationships-very rarely.So men especially wake up and smell the caribou crap-Sarah is using you and will disown you once she achieves her goal.You are dead meat to her just as the wolves she has slaughtered in Alaska now.

Will the Fascist Roberts Republican Supreme Court install another puppet, Sarah Palin, like the Supreme Court installed the puppet, George W. Bush?

Then, will the Right-Wing media spend the next eight years talking about how stupid Sarah Palin is, and the populace being unable to do anything about it, like George W. Bush, while Conservative EXTREMIST controllers hold the fort and do everything they can to destroy anything beneficial for the populace?

The Right-Wing conservative EXTREMIST controller’s plan with DLC EXTREMIST’S cooperation and Right-Wing media minions using sophist propaganda to undermine and minimize liberal constructive benefit to the populace from being accomplished by the Obama administration.

The money of the vast Right-Wing conservative EXTREMIST network of destruction is working like clockwork to undermine and destroy the Obama administration through propaganda and sophistry and will more than likely install Sarah Palin as their puppet, since Palin can see Russia from Alaska and writes notes for a Right-Wing $100,000. speech on her hand, Palin will be a great Right-Wing puppet, just like George W. Bush.
