Palin 2012

Anyone else watch her address to the tea baggers last night?

Looks like she's a go for POTUS.

Get ready.

She's on FOX right now.

The job losses are because of too much government spending.

Name calling by anyone is wrong, but it's OK when Rush does it because it was funny.

Our foreign policy should be "we win, they loose".

This is great stuff.

She's needs to be on the same jet when Pelosi's goes into a mountain.

I'd still hit it though.

Only time I'd vote for her is if she was in a Wet T-Shirt contest for MILFs.

While I agree Pelosi and the mountain should have a meeting, I find nothing evil in Palin that suggest she should have the same fate. I just think she is dong the Republican party more harm then good. Pelosi on the other hand is destroying the fabric that made America great while continually sticking it up our a$$.

100 grand for sound bites, mindless ones at that.

I hope she runs, the country deserves her..she could text message Todd on all her tough decisions

no substance, maybe she and Mitt Romney could team up on the empty headed platform....

the clueless will rule the earth someday....
we are well on the way....

For someone that consistently (and hypocritically) criticizes Obama for the use of a teleprompter, Palin seems to need a prompter of her own for a pre-screened Q&A session:

I'm sure the last two photos are fakes, although I was certain she looked into her palm during the post keynote interview

Ya never know, people will won't vote Democrat in 2012 if economy still sucks.

Because It is very likely that the economy may not turn around until 2013, whoever gets elected next (I assume not Obama) will be in the right place at the right time and be designated a great president

If she gets elected then the citizens of this country will get what they deserve. Decades of mismangement, voter apathy and the acceptance of low standards led us down this road. Last one out turn off the lights.

True in more ways than one, whovere is in office at the present time, gets the credit, or blame for the current situation, wether it is their doing or not...and most voters cannot see past that. Couple that with a tow party system that is lockstep in gridlock, it only gets worse.

Yeah....me too... I would walk out most likely with an empty ballot, if that were the choice...or I would force myself to vote for the one with the brain....even if I usually do not agree, at least there is a thought process there...
and there lies the rub... we get so locked into " got to have it all our way"...we cannot compromise, or let the other side have a moment, or an inch... that is a big part of the trouble in congress now.

I agree. I'm not a Hillary fan, but as someone who leans a little on the conservative side, I would consider her more in line with my way of thinking than most of the other Dems.

As for Palin, I hope she either goes away (not very likely) or does something so mind blowingly idiotic (much more likely) that she cannot be a viable candidate in 2012. I also don't see what makes her so attractive to some of you guys. I find her looks to be ok for a woman her age, but nothing special.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I like Palin's "Sarah plain and tall" gig a little, then she quit. When she quit she became irrellevant. You don't quit, or give up in regard to anything. Finish or dont start.

so let's see...Palin needs a few words written in her palm to make what even Al Hunt described as a remarkably good speech...and she's an idiot bimbo.....

Obama needs to haul all of his teleprompter equipment in just to make a speech to little grammer school students..... and he's the smartest guy that ever lived....


things just never add up with this Obama guy....

and it's an odd obsession that some leftys have with Palin...

Okay. Let's put this idiotic argument to rest.

"The picture (taken by Associated Press photographer Alex Brandon) actually shows Obama speaking to reporters in a classroom at the Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Va., on Jan. 19. Obama had spoken to the students themselves earlier, and he did not use a teleprompter then. This photo from the official White House blog shows that clearly."

Which is it? He had to use a teleprompter to talk to the kids or he didn't say anything at all?

You're getting well skilled at completely changing the premise of your position as soon as you're proven wrong.

It doesn't matter. Whatever he say's is complete BS. You need a teleprompter when you don't speak from the heart. Otherwise you can get by with a few scribbles on your palm.

I'm sure Palin is a smart person. Anyone on this forum sure can't pass judgment.What she isn't, is someone I want heading this country out of the disaster that Obama is putting us in.
