Yeah, I want to elect someone to office that can't name another founding father other than George Washington. Someone that couldn't even name a major national publication, nor someone that didn't even know that Putin wasn't president of Russia when she was running for VP. Her lack of knowledge about the constitution,general American history, and foreign affairs should be enough to scare anyone from voting for her.
Let me respond to several comments...

First of all, I can't tune her out unless I turn the TV completely off. Former Governor Palin is a star of the lamestream media, and I have to hear about her every time I watch the news. That is my complaint is that the media is so obsessed with her and the mere possibility that she might run for president.

Secondly, I do not wish to see Mrs. Palin "destroyed." I just don't want her to be the president. I'm a conservative, but I don't think she has the experience and qualifications necessary to run this country in this historic time. I didn't think President Obama had it either, and his inability to lead is becoming more and more evident everyday. He's a great organizer - we saw that in the campaign. However, organizing a campaign and being the leader of the free world are two entirely different things.

And someone posed the question, can I think of anyone better? Absolutely! I think Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Newt Gingrich are much more prepared to be our next president. Those are just the three that come to mind first. However, if it becomes a love-fest, popularity contest (like the one who said she's "purty to look at"), she indeed could be the GOP nominee. That would be unfortunate.
Palin is fighting back, calling the Bushs "blue-bloods", I guess trying to bring class warfare to the table in the Repub in-fighting.
quote:

"I don't want to sort of concede that we have to get used to this kind of thing, because I don't think the majority of Americans want to put up with the blue-bloods -- and I say it with all due respect, because I love the Bushes -- but the blue bloods who want to pick and chose their winners instead of allowing competition to pick and choose the winners."

"I don't know if that kind of stuff is planned out, but it is what it is, we deal with it, and as I say we forge ahead and we keep doing what we're doing,"
Palin added. Palin replied that said elites don't understand that "competition is good."

Top Republicans are reportedly working behind the scenes to keep Palin from winning the Republican nomination out of fears that the polarizing former vice presidential candidate would lose badly to President Obama in a general election.

Why can't people just not like her? She's gone past political influence to pop culture anecdote a long time ago. But really she's not even the point of contention here, the whole The left is persecuting and the left is trying to distort act is really getting old as an excuse. If anything is causing people to immediately ignore anything a conservative says it's the "You must agree with us 100% or you're the enemy" and "The persecuted majority" bit. we need more than talk and frankly neither side, especially the tea party has done nothing but that.

Compared to what we have in office now. I would say let's do elect someone who is not an intellectual community organizer. That whole hopey changey thing ain't working out to well.

No big shocker that Bristol didn't win. My wife and I watched a few of Sarah's shows and both thought they were pretty good AND informative. Our 6-year-old REALLY enjoyed it and wants to go see Alaska now. What's wrong with that?
I'm afraid of Palin not because I'm a "scared little liberal" but because I'm an American who is deeply concerned about the leadership of our country - now and in the future. I want someone who has been tried, tested, and successful in leading. I don't want someone who was a community organizer turned U.S. Senator (and only for 2 years) who became a media darling. I don't want a small town mayor turned Alaska Governor (and for only 2 years) who also became a media darling. I want an experienced, qualified leader who will restore America to what it once was in the world and at home.

Listen up, bm! That criticism is common as dirt and it is irrational and irrelevant. The woman is, among other things, downright dangerous. One wouold not wish to have even a well-disciplined orangutan at the controls of a nuclear power plant. The critter has no competence in that technology. Just so, one cringes at the thought of such a shallow, incompetent tyro as Palin ascending to such prominence that she is considered Presidential material. But there are is inordinately large number of voters who are naive enough to buy off on this yammering doofus as a legitimate candidate for the highest office in the land and the position that is still correctly regarded as the most powerful executive position in the world.

Such a menace is not, and should not be blithely ignored. It is the duty of every knowledgeable American who understands the danger of a Palin in high national office to help his/her friends and associates to understand how utterly reckless it would be to see this creature in the White House! It is essential that no opportunity be lost to point out the numerous examples of her superficiality and shallowness. Shed the true light of day on this dithering doofus! No orangutans playing around with nuclear power!! And no Palin with Presidential power!!!!

WOW! The PDS is in FULL BLOOM! You guys WILLFULLY IGNORE the actual menace that is Obama and his "administration", yet you blather on and on and on about the very outside possibility of Sarah Palin being elected. I don't even support her as a candidate, but you goons are nuts. The party symbol for the Dimocrats was chosen well, heehaw!

Beterner,
We elected an actor once. He made a much better pres than the organizer.

Sarah scares the left. That in itself is a good thing.


No right wing witch of the Waterloo, I am not like your buddy Cage/Jobe, I post under one screenname at a time. And I wish I could take credit for Caribou Barbie but someone else started calling Sarah the quitter that first. I liked this little blip from one of your Fox and Fools heroes, Glenn Beck.

Glenn Beck Goes After Barbara Bush, Calling Her The “Oatmeal Box Lady”
by Jon Bershad November 22nd, 2010
Glenn Beck was not happy with Barbara Bush’s oh-so-thinly veiled attack on Sarah Palin from over the weekend. Although he says the former first lady is his “favorite Bush,” he called her comments “really insulting” and called her the “oatmeal box lady,” apparently comparing her to the man in the Quaker Oats logo (Who, it turns out, isn’t William Penn. Huh. You learn something new every day).
While Beck felt the comments were condescending, he basically waved them away by saying that Bush isn’t “a political animal” and pointing out that her husband, the “politician” of the couple, claims to not know what the Tea Party is. He ends by saying that George H. W. Bush was very progressive and was the first president to use the term “New World Order.” And you thought there’d be no George Soros connection.

Really though, it’s interesting to hear the Bushes, such stalwarts of the Republican community for so long, get dumped on like this. The family that brought us two presidents is even compared (very jokingly!) to the Wayans and Jackson families.

However, if you’re going to feel bad for anyone, feel bad for Larry King. Beck claims that the TV host makes Barbara Bush “look like she’s 30″. Now that’s insulting!

Man, do you snakes turn on each other quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big Grin
