If Palin runs for President in 2012, at least she has name recognition going for her… but that may not work in her favor

The fact is we cannot afford to forget about Sarah Palin, who she really is and what she stands for. I think that all people need to care about what happens in Alaska, a pristine wilderness that needs to be protected for all the people of the world.
If we allow someone like Sarah Palin to have control over our national and world heritage we have not come as far as I think we have since electing Obama.
We need to be a voice for the animals who have no voice, we need to be the voice for Bristol Bay, ANWR, polar bears and beluga whales.
We need to stand up as a nation in the years to come and get these type of people who do not honor the rights of animals or protect our environment.
I hope the people of Alaska will get the message that we love you but will not accept the apparent apathy you are exhibiting in holding your public servants accountable.
Read a blog that Stevens build a 1.2 mil road on taxpayers $ so he could comfortably drive to his favorite restaurant.
What I have read and found out about Palin truly makes my skin crawl.
Now is the time for all Americans.
I hope Obama will be able to fight with federal legislation and law, all the horrible things that Palin endorsed or may endorse in the future.
God Luck Alaska, God Bless America, we can see you from the lower 48.

If Palin is the Republican hopeful for the next presidential election it looks like Obama will be a two term president. Four years will not turn this pig’s ear into a silk purse,lip stick or not. She came across as being a rube visiting the big city for the first time. From her lack of familiarity of world politics and geography to the petty bickering that seems to have taken place within the McCain/Palin camp. I don’t know,but I find it difficult to take seriously anyone that is running for the positions in the White House that would appear on a comedy variety show,Saturday Night Live,a faux pas shared by both McCain and Palin. And weren’t they the ones that brought up the,”celebrity” issue? Speaking of celebrity,there maybe a whole new future for Palin in a T.V. sitcom. A cross between a reverse “Green Acres”,country to the city and the “Jeffersons”, ‘…movin’ on up to the east side’. But on second thought it’s already been done,it was called,”The Beverly Hillbillys”.

icarus:

“Palin is…an ignorant, sociopathic nightmare, just like Bush.”

LOL Spot on.

David Noon? Keep up the good humor. It’s a relief to me that, over the next four years, once again we’ll be listening to a President who can speak the English language. I’ve been nursing the idea that – at least in part – the reason America’s students have fallen so far behind students elsewhere is that, for the past 8 years, the leader of the free world has exhibited such patently dumb willful ignorance. I’m in education. I get the idea that students think “Hell, if Bush is that stupid, and he’s President, how the hell hard should I try?” Bush is the idiot son of the plutocracy. The manifestation of inbreeding somewhere back in the lineage. All the recessive genes are up front in his character. Barack Obama is new blood, strong blood, intelligence, strength of character. It’s a new day. It’s a new era. I only hope that – along with the now nefarious Bush name – Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and all of the Conservative retrogressive atavistic goons who’ve stuck their nose into the national conversation – will also dry up and blow away.

I din’t really think that much of the criticism about Palin’s wardrobe at the time and felt that the Republicans had a responsibility to ensure their candidate looked her best. But I have reconsidered now it has been leaked by her handlers that she was told to buy 3 suits for the convention and 3 more for the campaign but spent $150,000 paid for by a contributor who was thinking in terms 10 – 20 thousand. The word the anonymous leakers used to describe her behavior was diva. She threw a giant tantrum after the Katie Kouric debacle but refused to take instruction before hand even after it became known that she thought Africa was a country and could not name the NAFTA signatories. Added to the litany of questions about her, the most recent revelations could not make it more clear what a disaster she would have been even in the relatively undemanding job of vice president. Its up to Alaska to decide her political fate but I hope the republicans have learned she is not fit to be on a national ticket now or ever.

I can’t understand all the fuss about Sarah Palin’s wardrobe. Anyone knows that when you are in a high profile public position that your clothes are important. How come know one is asking how many new suits Barack purchased for his campaign or any of the other men on the campaign trail. We may have crossed the prejudice line as far as blacks are concerned but we still have a long way to go when in comes to women. Even Hilary Clinton had trouble keeping people happy with her wardrobe. It’s time we found something more important to talk about.

I hope for the sake of sanity that the people of Alaska realize that their Governor’s populalrity has been bought with the money that she has carved out of big oil from a wind fall profits tax rather than from doing a good job as a leader. Take a look at what has been revealed since she has been on the national stage. She left her little home town over 20 million in debt and that sports complex was built on land that didn’t have clear title. Great job! Her appointments seem to have come out of her high school year book. Doesn’t look like there was real exprience involved there. Ethics problems, well thats up to you folks in Alaska to sift through this one, she your problem, but I can tell you one thing, she wouldn’t last one second in long island, N.Y. And then there is your “first Dude”. Come on people, you would let him sit in on official government meetings and be copied on e-mails that he has NO business being involved with. You folk need to take a real long deep look at what has going on in your state office and think about weather or not you really want this woman running your government. I , for one, don’t think she has the citizens of Alaska at the top of her priority list.

Dear Richard,

Your a sore loser and a relic of the old days of hate. It’s you who need to crawl into the abyss with the rest of the “dinosaurs” of politics. See you in a museum.

I am SO happy this woman won’t be in the news every day. I can only hope her 15 minutes are over forever. What a colossal waste of time it was to hear her speak. She makes my skin crawl.
