actually I don't, but I do not bring it up myself unless someone brings up one of these stupid old, overdone comments. I don't see the comment about the number of states we have mentioned here anymore period unless someone brings up the Palin comment or some other comment that was misquoted or misunderstood years ago. Regardless both sides should let these slips just go away. There are many more important things to worry about than where Alaska is in relationship to Russia (even thoough they are very close in proximity) or what Obama meant when he referred to 57 states.

The drama continues. I think Palin wants her strip tease act to go on forever, but I think the boys have left the club.
Sarah Palin is a joke and media manipulator in the same vein as Donald Trump, Paris Hilton and Charlie Sheen, not a serious politician.

I agree about her not being a serious politician, but she is, in no way, anything like Thrump and Sheen, nor is Trump like Sheen. You are comparing apples to bananas, oranges or melons. Thump was never elected to a public office, he never even ran and Sheen, though not a politician might be elected to the "Druggy Hall of Fame" someday. As for Paris Hilton, that is another subject for another day.

The common denominator I meant for Trump, Sheen and Hilton is they all manipulate the press for exposure. Bad Press is better than no press.

I think Palin does the same thing - manipulate the press for exposure.
She doesn't announce she'll run, but she hangs around the fringes and keeps her name in the news.

That's all I meant. i wasn't trying to imply I thought she did drugs or anything.

Are you seriously arguing that nobody here brings up 57 states unless somebody else brings up a misquotation or mischaracterization from something that took place years ago?

I just want to make sure I understand you clearly before I spend about ten minutes to find threads from the past couple of weeks where some Republican is currently quoted as saying something dumb and we get a bevy of "57 states" responses.

Really? How would you know your insulting slanderous comment toward Sarah Palin... is accurate. Do you even care? Don't answer...because it's clear you don't.

And I am now am regretful I supported your Thread about your daughter. I actually...now... doubt your credibility and validity.

It is my very fond hope that she runs anyway as an Independent/Tea Party candidate. She would peel enough votes away from Romney to give Obama the win.

Spot on

I have nothing against Mrs. Palin but it is clearly about the money with her. She is going to ride the money train as far as she can. Nothing wrong with this but I do see it for what it is.

Are you upset because I said Sarah Palin is a joke?
She is a media manipulator?
or that she is not a serious politician?

Those are my opinions and I believe them.
I don't think there is anything slanderous about that.

If you said something you didn't believe to support something I said, then no, you shouldn't have. If you said something you believe, that supports something I said, then I don't understand your point.

As for anything I said on the other thread, it is the truth as I perceive it.

You might need a vision check up. Sarah must keep herself ''in the News'' if she is going to run for President. What would you suggest...she hide?

ok, I'll buy that. When I re-read your post I thought it was a little deeper than how I took in at face value.
