WASILLA, Alaska – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin spent part of the weekend
going through her clothing to determine what belongs to the Republican
Party after it spent $150,000-plus on a wardrobe for the vice
presidential nominee,
They should have spent $50,000 of that to put her through a private
version of Newt Gingrich's college government course.
I like Palin but I agree she came up from the minors way too soon.
If she had the look and actually knew what she was talking about she
would have been a little help but this was a lost cause 2 years ago.
BS
You don't have to be schooled in smarmy political double speak and
deception.
She had what it takes based on her decisions as Governor.
We don't want any more professional misleaders.
The Globalists on both sides went after her with fang and dagger once
they recognized she would be a potential threat to them. McCain's own
backers turned on him because she was a threat to them.
They sacraficed him to prevent her being elected.
After all Obama has demonstrated what they want. The social issues mean
nothing to them.
Obama's experience has been running for offices and avoiding votes in
the Senate.
Palin has done the job. Obama has yet to do anything.
The corporates' media has painted a false picture of both Palin and
their darling Obama.
I'm not looking for a rocket scientist experienced in destructing our
Republic, I want someone committed to our Republic. He/She can hire
experts for a dime a dozen.


I can't think of anything the republicans could do this time to get
elected and their strongest people would not even step up and try.
This is a repeat of 1976 except I think Bush may have a lower
popularity rating than Nixon had when he resigned and that was
reflected on the GOP and Ford.
The flip side of that is Obama is coming in with a lot on his plate
right away. If he doesn't turn things around by the mid term he will
lose the senate and maybe a big chunk of the house. Congress under
Ried and Pelosi have a lower popularity rating than Bush.



I find it hard to believe that anyone still believes Palin "has what it
takes" to hold high elective office in this country. She is an absolute
dunce. While no one expects a president or vice president or U.S.
senator to be expert in everything or even most things, it is reasonable
to expect that those who hold such offices be smart enough to understand
their briefings, be intellectually curious, and have judgment enough to
make the "right" decision most of the time.

We've just been through nearly eight years of a presidency led by an
intellectual dunce, by a man who could be led by the nose by advisers
with neocon global and overly harsh domestic agendae. Palin would have
been the same sort of vice president/president, but worse, because she's
even more of a cipher than Bush.

The picture the media has painted of Palin shows her exactly as she
is...a fool wearing the clothes of the empress. That interview by Katie
Courie will live in the annals of political journalism forever, a
reporter asking perfectly reasonable questions of a candidate who was
and is absolutely clueless.

Forget about Palin already, donkey breath. "O" is going to screw up so
badly, you will be happy to vote republican in 2012.

In an interview with the Anchorage Daily News, Palin faulted the
policies of the Bush administration for the defeat of the GOP ticket,
and said, "it's amazing that we did as well as we did."

"I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo,
too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans
were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we
run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration? How have
there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration?
If we're talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that
the present administration represented and that is to a great degree
what the Republican Party at the time had been representing," Palin said
in a story published Sunday.

Wow!



Yeah, because the loss certainly had nothing to do with the GOP picking
a tired old fart who couldn't decide what side of the ultra
conservative/conservative fence he was on, along with an ignorant,
loud-mouthed moron as a running mate. Sure, the horrors of the Bush
Administration played a role in their defeat, but so did the choice of
nominees.

The Republicans doubled down in 2012 and picked a worse pair, and likely
will double down again in 2016.
