Good luck with your nominee!

This is the only excerpt from the book I've seen:

“The apartment was small, with slanting floors and irregular heat and a buzzer downstairs that didn’t work, so that visitors had to call ahead from a pay phone at the corner gas station, where a black Doberman the size of a wolf paced through the night in vigilant patrol, its jaws clamped around an empty beer bottle.”

It's too presumptious to assume she is even running. A book signing tour and being an advocate for positions and candidates is a good first step. But until I see her setting up the state by state organization necessary to running a national campaign I will not have proof she is throwing her hat in the ring.
Last year Fred Thompson had the best positions of any Republican candidate . But he was unwilling to do what was necessary to be a serious contender. It remains to be seen what course Palin will take.

Count on the lamestream media to cherry pick the most substantive quote!!

Funny, that's the exact expression that Limbaugh used. Rush calls Palin memoir "one of the most substantive policy books I've read" | Media Matters for America

It may well be . I'll get back to you on that.

She had a book signing at Fort Bragg on Monday (as reported in our Toronto Star today) that went rather well. She looks amazing. They agreed to let her on post because she was no longer a politician. She seems to have the wherewithall to tour and have a special bus. I wasn't aware she was that well off, but maybe so.

I'm sure she got a sizable advance on her book, which sold over 700,000 copies the first week. I don't know how book tours work but I'm guessing the publisher funds tours of this scope.

Hello again:

So, whaddya think she meant when she said:

Israeli settlements should be expanded on the West Bank because “more and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead.”?

Is it a religious reference?

Maybe she knows more then we think she does; a hotline to god maybe ? Who knows what she really does in the wilderness beside shoot moose. Now that opens up a whole new train of thought...

Maybe she understands Bible prophecy.

Could it be that on those hunting trips she also (HORRORS!) prays?

Seems to me that if you are middle class, Christian American, you would understand Sarah Palin.

From what I saw at those book signing interviews I'm frightened by the people who "understand" Sarah Palin - she represents the dumbing down of America.

On a related note, she got tricked again by a comedian. This time in wonderful Canada where she says that canadians should get rid of their public health care.

YouTube - Palin Suggests Canada Should 'Reform' Health System To 'Let The Private Sector Take Over'

When Palin left the signing, Walsh caught up with her in the parking lot, where Palin suggested that Canada should get rid of its public health care system. "Keep the faith" Palin said, "because common sense conservatism can be plugged in there in Canada too. In fact, Canada needs to reform its health care system and let the private sector take over some of what the government has absorbed

Walsh said, she found it equally bizarre that no one was allowed to ask Palin any questions at the book-signing.... "We're in a bookstore, at a public event, in a place one would think was a bastion of free speech. And no one was allowed to ask questions. What are they afraid of?"

Hello again, gal:

I'm all of the above, ceptin the Christian part, and I understand Sarah Palin pretty good. I also got the religious reference she was making.. But, I'm not threatened by her thinking that stuff. I'm happy for her. Don't bother me none...

Unless she somehow got into office. To make policy based on the Bible isn't something I'd support.

Guess, what, I am not middle class christian american. I am white collar anglican Canadian so I guess I don't understand Sarah Palin, and don't really think I need to:D

I just have to sit back and enjoy the fireworks.

Yes, I caught that in the Toronto Star two days ago and waited for the comments in A22 Editorials. There was only one from a Canadian that said she was thankful for our healthcare because her breast cancer treatment occurred so quickly after visiting a walk in clinic where she went in a panic not being able to see her doctor.

Other then that, there were no comments.

I doubt she would attempt to. If she did, there is still the House and Senate.

I'm sure though that you understand that there is such a thing as a Biblical world view that is not directly related to any religion. It simply understands human nature and wisdom distilled from thousands of years of experience as recorded in Bible history.

Hope that clarifies.

Hello again, gal:

Human nature I can deal with. Predicting that Jews would flock to Israel so the tribulation gets started, I can't.

Since this thread is specifically about Sarah Palin, I post this circulating information for everyone's consideration.

By Dewie Whetsell, Alaskan Fisherman. As posted in comments on
Greta's article referencing the MOVE ON ad about Sarah Palin.

The last 45 of my 66 years I've spent in a commercial fishing
Town in Alaska . I understand Alaska politics but never
Understood national politics well until this last year. Here's
The breaking point: Neither side of the Palin controversy gets
It. It's not about persona, style, rhetoric, it's about doing
Things. Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I'm
About to mention here.

1- Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats,
Because as soon as Palin took the Governor's office away from a
Fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into
The Republican's "Corrupt Bastards Club" (CBC) and sent them
Packing. Many of them are now residing in State housing and
Wearing orange jump suits. The Democrats reacted by skipping
Around the yard, throwing confetti and singing, "la la la la"
(well, you know how they are). Name another governor in this
Country that has ever done anything similar.

2- Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians
To protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So she
Constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil
Profits called "ACES." Exxon (the biggest corporation in the
World) protested and Sarah told them, "don't let the door hit
you in the stern on your way out." They stayed, and Alaska
Residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich.
Of course, the other huge international oil companies meekly
Fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in
The country that has done anything similar.

3- The other thing she did when she walked into the governor's
Office is she got the list of State requests for federal funding
For projects, known as "pork." She went through the list, took
85% of them and placed them in the "when-hell-freezes-over"
Stack. She let locals know that if we need something built,
We'll pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the
Money she got from selling the previous governor's jet because
It was extravagant. Maybe she could use the money she saved by
Dismissing the governor's cook (remarking that she could cook
For her own family), giving back the State vehicle issued to
Her, maintaining that she already had a car, and dismissing her
State provided security force (never mentioning - I imagine -
That she's packing heat herself). I'm still waiting to hear the
Names of those other governors.

4- Now, even with her much-ridiculed "gosh and golly" mannerism, she
Also managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a
Natural gas pipeline built which will be the biggest private
Construction project in the history of North America . No one else
Could do it although they tried. If that doesn't impress you, then
You're trying too hard to be unimpressed while watching her do
Things like this while baking up a batch of brownies with her other
Hand.

5- For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a
Place called Point Thompson. They made excuses the entire time why
They couldn't start drilling. In truth they were holding it like an
Investment. No governor for 30 years could make them get started...
This summer, she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking
Them out. They protested and threatened court action. She shrugged
And reminded them that she knew the way to the court house. Alaska
Won again.

6- President Obama wants the nation to be on 25% renewable resources
For electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the legislature and submitted
Her plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewables by 2025. We are already
At 25%. I can give you more specifics about things done, as opposed
To style and persona. Everybody wants to be cool, sound cool, look
Cool. But that's just a cover-up. I'm still waiting to hear from
Liberals the names of other governors who can match what mine has
Done in two and a half years. I won't be holding my breath.

By the way, she was content to return to AK after the national
Election and go to work, but the haters wouldn't let her. Now these adolescent screechers are obviously not scuba divers. And no one ever told them what happens when you continually jab and pester a barracuda. Without warning, it will spin around and tear
Your face off. Should have known better.

You have just read the truth about Sarah Palin that sends the media,
Along with the democrat party, into a wild uncontrolled frenzy to
Discredit her. I guess they are only interested in skirt chasers,
Dishonesty, immoral people, liars, womanizers, murderers, and bitter
Ex-presidents' wives.

So "You go, Girl." I only wish the men in Washington had your guts,
Determination, honesty, and morals.

I rest my case.

[NeedKarma]

Gal,
I do believe the liberuls really want your Sarah to run. Go girl!

Hey gal, do you also have respect for Glen Beck?
