Also, I'm not sure she's doing this to run in 2012.  She may just want "Out" at this point after having her family slandered by the socialist media.  Who could blame her?
I think she wants to keep her options open, because you never know what might happen and I believe she still has a good chance at running as long as she is in charge of her campaign and not someone else.

What's amazing to me is that when I first heard the news I thought "Wow, if this is legit and there's no scandal here, what a remarkable move to get away from the lame duck status and actually let more things get done by someone who could do more"

Yet, when I turned on the news everyone was spinning this as irresponsible and it didn't make any sense and blah blah blah. I'm surprised they even tried to make her look bad in this, if it isn't covered with something else I don't see how what she did was anything less than commendable.

I personally believe she did it because the media exposure probably hurt her family a bit overall and she wanted to get out of politics, at least for now.  Like Trog said, she's probably leaving her options open.

Hopefully she doesn't run for president in 2012.  The right-wing needs a real leader, not a supermodel.  I'm not even going to consider voting Republican if she runs for 2012.  I'm saddened there are people out there who want her to run, and not someone else who is a qualified Republican.

I don't care what party they are from, they just need to not be corrupt, follow the constitution, and have common sense.

The demonization and vile hatred aimed at Sarah Palin is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in American politics. And calling her a radical is rich. She isn't the one that attended a racist marxist anti-American black nationalist church for over 20 years. She also didn't become best friends with domestic terrorists and Palestinian jihadist terror operatives. She also didn't smoke crack and weed in highschool and college while devouring Marx literature and lectures. I guess I forgot that's considered normal behavior for left wingers. But oh she does think killing unborn children is morally wrong and believes marriage should be between one man and one woman like, uh, the majority of Americans. So she's clearly crazy. The reason why she left politics is because she's a good person who loves her family and was sick of seeeing them bashed and exploited by the leftist media. But I'll agree she wasn't knowledgable enough about global affairs to be President. But the sad thing is for the Democraps is that she was still far more qualified than Thief in Chief. Why she's been so demonized and hated by the left I'll never fully understand. I'm guessing it's a cultural matter. She's a normal conservative woman and mom who likes to hunt, go to church and is plain spoken. Clear signs of retardation in the eyes of left wingers I guess. Not to mention the blatant sexism aimed at her from the party that likes to claim it's the Republicans who are the party of bigots. The hypocrisy is nauseating. It's just another reminder of why I hate lefties and will never vote for them ever in my life.

PS. Happy 4th of July everyone! America isn't just a country but an idea. Long live liberty and freedom! Down with collectivist socialist Democraps and Obama!

Yep which is exactly why I'm saying if she is going to run for 2012, I won't even consider her party, which happens to be the Republican party.

Well, **** usually don't consider republicans anyway, so it's no big deal.

PS-Don't be jealous of Sarah Paladin just because you wish you were a girl.

"Yes, America did gag; go check the results of the November 2008 election, friend."

We are not friends.  And maybe *you* need to go look at the election results.  Almost 60 million voters voted for McCain/Palin.  I would hardly call that "America gagging."  You forget a lot of American's are Christian conservatives who like her politics.  It is tiresome how you seem to think that you speak for *everyone*.

" A) Attractive  B) Finally gives them some recognition for being part of the "Real America" or C) Still thinks Barry is a muslim. Go ahead and like her as a person (if you can), but by supporting in a run for office you are endangering our country."

Just because that's what *you* think does not make it true for everyone.  You cannot project what you think onto everyone else and assume it is true.  A lot of people like her politics and her platforms.

I think that anyone who voted for Obama endangered out country but I'm not going to tell them that "the real America voted for McCain." or that they were wrong.  They made their decision based on what *they* thought was best.  I just think it was a bad idea.

"to be a real mom and give up her aspirations for being the President" 

That statement clearly subjects women into a role.  It *is* saying that women cannot be "real" moms *and* be in politics. 

"her head out of the clouds and worry about her personal life"

Her private life is none of my concern.  Everyone's family is crazy/dysfunctional in some way.  I've never met anyone who didn't have a something/someone in their family who was weird/different/crazy/dysfunctional in some way.  I can't wait until you have kids.  You could easily get a girl pregnant, it doens't mean you have bad parents.  It means you made a decision and that you have to live with the consequences of that decision.  If you're 15 and having sex, what is the difference between that and her 17 year old daughter getting preg?  It's not like it was on purpose.

I do not really even like Sarah Palin.  I'm only pointing out that you are consistently inconsistent and have very childish and undeveloped political and social beliefs.

And just admit it, you are gay.

Another person which sarcasm is unfortunately lost on.

Sure, they voted for McCain. I wonder how many would have voted the same if Palin was the name at the top of the ticket?
 
"Politics and Platforms" Oh, you mean those regurgitated talking points she constantly spews every chance someone sticks a microphone under her mouth?



The fact that she has proven she cannot be a mother and a politician at the same time says she should get out of politics.
 
 
Her private life is of our concern. Of course everyone has dysfunction in their family, but as someone who is a member of the party of the moral high ground this **** can't fly. I wonder if Bristol would have a child right now if her mother wasn't a proponent of abstinence only education? and the lovely daughter herself, "do as I say, not as I do". Personally, I think not.




I am rubber you are glue, etc.




For one who talks about projection, maybe there's some freudian explanation for why you keep insisting I'm gay.....hmmm..

election, friend.


If you followed the election, other than occasionally watching the daily show, you'd realize the only time McCain led in the polls was when he announced Sarah Palin as his running mate.

McCain/Palin led until the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and the stock market.  They were basically pegged with Bush's economic legacy (which was silly, but happens).



I'm not subjecting women to any role, if you'd take a look at her
personal life from what we can tell it's disfunctional to say the
least. *wink* *wink* I hear her 17yro daughter got pregnant,
t

Hey, so a 17 year old girl getting pregnant means her parents are bad? If so:

Did Barack Obama have bad parents, since he was doing weed and cocaine in high school?

Is Joe Biden a bad dad, because his daughter is still doing cocaine today?

Is Joe Biden a bad dad, because his son Hunter is facing fraud charges for the hedge fund he runs?

Of course, you've probably never heard of the stuff about Biden's kids, but everyone in the world knows that Palin's daughter had sex at 17 (OMG NOBODY DOES THAT!).

It's just one more instance of idiotic socialist media bias.
Since I'm so inconsistent in everything I do, I suppose I should be proud that I'm a consistent viewer of The Daily Show, ty very much.




I don't have bad parents and I smoke weed, no. There are two extremely different things you're comparing here.


Wait, you mean his 27 year old daughter? If my 2nd grade math serves me right, I think 27 is 10 more than 17! still, you're comparing apples and oranges, at 27 I wouldn't expect him to have control over her life anymore.
 
I don't think Joe Biden is a bad dad for his 39 yr old son commiting fraud. I'm assuming when typing out these wild comparisons you're saying something like " this is kinda out there but....i really hate this gay, godless socialist, w/e." rofl
 
Anyone who knows anything knows this information about Joe Biden's kids.
 
You'd prob make a ton of money if you'd attend one of them uprisins all round the u. s of a, they-a callin em tea parties! sell anti-socialist t shirts, bro.


-edit- just make sure not to tax the t-shirts, they really hate taxes.
