3.) Which book will tell a more honest account of the Palin story?
4.) Will both books flop, because no one gives two craps about Sarah Palin anymore?

1) No. Libtards like to talk a lot, but they won't put their money where their mouth is.
2) Only libtards are dumb enough to vote for the wrong candidate in large numbers because of ballot confusion.
3) Neither. One is written by libtard idiots, the other by an idiot trying to promote herself.
4) No, Palin's book is already in the top five books in the country, and I'm sure that will go up further.

Personally, I think Palin is a closed-minded fundie, but seeing the lefty nuts go bananas over her time and time again is great. We need her in the oval office :p

i agree. except for the part abotu her being in office.

it amazes me that so many are doing there best to trash the women now. All its doing is makeing people read about her and like her. let her fade out to be a footnote.

Trust me, I wouldn't really want her in office either, but it is fun to see the rabid left react to her.

Given her qualifications and record, aren't you 'conservatives' a little worried at her popularity with the GOP? She was a huge anchor to the McCain ticket. What makes any of you think she would have a chance if she ran as P or VP again?

I don't care if she runs (which energizes the base), but I hope she doesn't end up on the ticket. Actually, she might be perfect to be on the ticket in 2012, since it's clear there's no way anything is going to stand in the way of a re-election of the Messiah anyway. She might be a perfect sacrificial lamb.

id on't see her getting the nod to be either P or VP. and god forbid she gets it and wins. I would be worried about her walking off the job.

:shocked:



More startlingly, she states that if elected President of the United States, she will probably not serve the full eight years.

?If I can do for my country as a whole what I did for Alaska in less than a full term, why would I want to stay in the position for such a lengthy time? To stay longer would be a waste of my talents. I?ll move on to something more challenging?the United Nations, for example, or even the Supreme Court?places where I have long realized I can contribute even more.?

Terrified? lmfao no we want her in to run in 2012 it would be a lock for the Democratic party.

After the people start seeing the full magnitude of the disaster that Obama is unleashing on the country, even a nut like Palin could get elected.....

Disdain, hardly. If one disdains another, one would usually simply ignore that person. However, if one fears another, then one will normally do anything to attack in an effort to protect ones own self or self interest.

So nice try, try again please. :)

Nope, wrong again. Palin's opinions are so retarded, she must be stopped. Openly mocking her and pointing out what an idiot she is, accomplishes this nicely IMHO.

But please continue to tell me how I feel about things. That's really working out well for you thus far.

Maybe waggy gets to the heart of the matter with, "it amazes me that so many are doing there best to trash the women now. All its doing is makeing people read about her and like her. let her fade out to be a footnote."

There is no doubt that Palin is loved by the 20% or so of the radical right, the problem is that Palin alienates large segments of the GOP who have now either gone democratic or independent.

And flat out, a 20% coalition does not win elections unless they can totally fragment the opposition. To a certain extent, the combination of Newt Gingrich and Karl Rove were able to form a bare 50% coalition for a number of years until their own extremely bad governance performance totally shattered that coalition. The radical right's delusion is and remains that they can ever go it alone. Palin, IMHO, is a deal killer for the GOP ever getting the moderates back into any coalition with the radical right.

As it is, GWB was able to keep the radical right in the fold, not by sponsoring the legislation they wanted and sure to not pass, but by promising the radical right he would pack the courts with friendly Judges and thereby repeal Rowe v Wade in a non elective manner. Now that Obama is in, that promise is likely shattered, and if Obama gets a chance to replace Roberts, Thomas, Alito, or Scalia, its going to be as dead as a door nail.

Those are among the Justices who will be there for a long time. Specially Roberts & Alito. They're fairly young.

Its certainly my opinion, but maybe you will accept Newsweek polling data instead.

http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs...poll-numbers-2012.aspx

I remind you, a 71% favorable republican rating may sound impressive, but when only 20% self identify themselves as republican, it loses much luster. More telling us the lack of independent support, when Palin can't crack 50 % of those, its very damning.

What somewhat still amazes me is that Palin does nothing to repair her political lightweight image, and instead, like a one trick pony, only panders to the base she has.

IMHO, the GOP leadership race is wide open for someone who can articulate a new and viable strategy based on responsibility and thought consideration. And when people like Jendall and Sanfort self destruct, I have to wonder about GOP leadership as the political primaries of 2010 are fast approaching. Is Linsey Graham the best the GOP now has?

The title, "Going Rouge" suggests the perfect subtitle...

Palin has become an entertainer just like Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, etc.. None of whom is suited for any kind of leadership role in government.

Well she does epitomize the typical Republican

And we need so many more like her.

Yea, if you got enough people like her together, you'd probably be able to finish out an 4 term as governor. However, you wouldn't have enough brain power to manage a McDonalds.

Well, you still haven't made your case and you point to an article that doesn't do more than restate that about half the country thinks she is hot and the other half don't.

What you call pandering to her base really just points out your own cynicism.

Don't worry, you have plenty of company here as I believe that all of the anti-Palin posters either willfully or ignorantly think that she is playing some kind of game, and that she holds to the same oh-so-world-weary standard of self-serving politics that they imagine they could play.

Palin is a true believer, she is not playing this for some kind of power or prestige or money or brownie points. If she achieves these, so much the better for they might help her reach her goals, but they are not themselves the goals.

Contrast her to Obama, who will throw anyone and everyone under the bus if they don't contribute to his career. He will first make you believe he loves you and then he will turn around and do his best to destroy you if you step the tiniest bit out of the dogmatic line.

Unlike Obama, who, as an empty suit flapping in the wind, seems to delusionally believe he is destined to be Master of the Universe, Palin is focusing on pushing a pro-America/small government conservative set of policy objectives. I don't even know that she is all that interested in holding public office again as it might limit her effectiveness in getting things done.

It seems she is actually attempting to serve the country as best as she is able. While you may, and almost certainly do, disagree with her vision for an anti-corruption, people-serving, less intrusive government, that you are cynically blind to her pursuing this only reflects poorly on your judgment of character.

Palin has fought Republicans and Democrats in pushing a reformer/good government agenda her entire career in public office. And don't you track any of the news? Just this week Palin was one of the first to reject the RINO candidate for the NY-23 Congressional District. Now look at how many Republicans are following her lead.

Top Republicans jump ship in NY-23

A good leader has an inner compass that will let them be the first to take a step in the right direction, a great leader has the will to stay the course. She isn't pandering to her base, she is setting an example that I would hazard to guess many will follow.

Dude, you have your nose so far up Palin's ass it's a wonder you can still breathe without passing out. I knew Palin supporters were fervent to the point of irrationality, but man, you really take the f'ing cake.
