    Hello NK:

    She quit as governor so she could work better for Alaskans... I didn't know talking to O'Reilly would do that. Do they even get FOX news up there?

    On a related matter, what do you Palin lovers think about her being accused of outright LYING by the guy who picked her as VP? Is it going to matter?

    Actually excon I think that becomes a moot point since this moves pretty much puts an end to her political career.

    I don't think she had much of a political future anyway. Being ditzy is okay for TV but not as POTUS. We already have one ditsy guy there now, so we don't need a repeat of more. Two in a row is more than enough thank you. Three would definitely be overkill.

    But only if she keeps hearing him talk to her in her head. Then she'll be the perfect candidate for POTUS. We already had one nutcase who talked directly to god - why not another?

    God likes me just fine. But I don't have any one on one conversations with God. Not me personally. But god forbid he starts chatting it up with Sarah Palin. We'll all be in big trouble then. She can cite the divine intervention ploy and take over the government because god wants her to rule the Americans from her throne. Ah, dumber things have happened in history, you know.

    God help the Republican party. She isn't even smart enough to realize that people don't watch her because she has intelligent opinions, they watch her the same way they watch a circus freak show or a car accident. The GOP needs to tell her she is not the future of the party.

    It's a gig and a pay check. The Huckster is on
    Fox and it is no secret that he still harbors political ambition.
    If schultz in MSNBC can parley a pundits gig into a run for office then
    So can Palin . Why the misogyny ?

    Hello gal:

    She DOES draw a crowd, doesn't she? But, I don't think she gets MORE popular. Those that love her, really, really love her, as you can attest. But, those that don't, don't, and never will.

    It IS interesting to me just how big her constituency is. It could be bigger than I'd like. I know. You'd like it just fine.. I do NOT write her off, though. She's a force to be dealt with.

    This is the kind of statement that is objectionable.

    If you want to keep any credibility, you will have to stop such baseless statements.

    As for recovery, how much faster would the recovery be without the billions spent on corporate welfare?

    What Obama has failed at totally is to gain the CONFIDENCE of the American people. He has failed to be the head cheerleader for our country, and that is IMPORTANT.

    You can't get that by apologizing to every country in the world. What he should do is remind everyone of all the good things the USA has done.
    How many additional people would be enslaved and/or starving if not for this country?

    What other country can you name that defeats its enimies and then helps them restore their country and economy?

    What one in history?

    10 percent unemployment, a 1.4$ trillion deficit, sweetheart deals on health care where some states, unions and others are more equal than others, an elected president with the lowest approval rating ever for a 1st year guy... yeah we're recovering nicely.

    Hello Steve:

    You guys have short memories, and little understanding of economics and bell curves.. You DO have good radio's, though.

    I understand, that you don't understand (or don't want to remember) that the dufus left Obama on the doorstep of a disaster. Obama, apparently, avoided the disaster. But, he couldn't eliminate all the pain, and that pisses you guys off.

    It's kind of like after you've been in a car crash and were brought into the ER in a basket. You blame the doctor (instead of the guy who crashed INTO you) because it still hurts after a few months.

    It pisses Sarah Palin, and Glenn Beck off too.. But, they're as know nothing about bell curves and economics as you apparently are. They have GREAT microphones, though, and a willing audience ready to latch on to any swill they spew.

    Hello again, gal:

    In deference to you particularly, I have refrained from personal attacks upon Sarah Palin. I've even said that I think she is a wonderful person whom I'd LOVE to be the den mother of my kids cub scout pack. I respect her for having a downs syndrome baby, and for her success in general.

    Nonetheless, she is ignorant of issues that are necessary for a president to know. That's just so. That's not a slight. Being ignorant is simply a lack of knowledge. I was ignorant once. Look at me now.

    She can learn. She has time. But, the problem I have with her now, is she thinks she's on a mission from God and doesn't need to know any more stuff than she already knows. That is a scary proposition for me.

    You can disagree, and I know you do. But, I hope you don't object to my saying it.

    Sarah Palin must be the most embarrassing figurehead the right has ever seen. What does she say? What is her point? NOTHING!

    Her recent lovefest with Glenn Beck was of particular amusment. To see them both denouncing the "Establishment" that would not let them "have their say", whilst being seen WORLDWIDE, expessing their f%cked up take on reality, made me laugh.

    So, let us sum up Sarah's "Fair and Balanced" points.

    1. The Government should not do anything, unless it involves bombing people who don't embrace our way of life.

    2. See 1

    You use the term "ignorant" in the proper way. I too think she will learn what is necessary, and I think she is a quick study. We are all ignorant of some facts or the other.

    It is something else to characterize her as "idiot" as so many do. That is incorrect and unfair, and only shows lack of character on the part of those who do so.

    It would actually be easier for you to come up with a clip where she DIDN'T say that sort of cr@p. She is an imbecile, and an embarrassment to the Republican Party.

    Those of us who have real understanding of the political system know that Palin and Beck are in fact isolating the middle ground. FEMA deathcamps indeed.

    What may well happen in the long term, is that the middle may drift right with the media paradigm, which is Rupert's goal of course. I really couldn't care less. Those concerns are for the bourgoise, not me.

    I was acually hoping that this would provoke discussion. Bear in mind that the word "provoke" is also quite controversial, and has provoked more than one communist uprising.

    Here's an idea. Why don't you try reading a book that wasn't written by Glenn Beck or Tom Clancy. In truth, most of the "proletariat" are Republican, because they are philistines.
