She lost as a VP candidate and many of the voters contemplated the possibility that she could have ended up as the president in the event of McCain's death.

She lost.

So why would they want to run her again? A great many Americans, including many Republicans, regard her as being an airhead-ditz. For 2012 they need to find someone who had nothing to do with this campaign. Maybe Romney.

I have always been jealous of Sarah Brightman because she sings a hell of a lot better than I do.
I'm jealous of Ani DiFranco because I've tried and tried to play the guitar and I'm awful at it. And she's phenomenal.
I'm a little jealous of Portia de Rossi for being with Ellen Degeneres (lol).
I'm jealous of a lot of contemporary poets because I've read quite a few who are doing things I don't think I'm capable of doing.

Not jealous of Palin. Don't want her intellect, her husband, her children, her perspectives, her life...any of that. Definitely don't want the fame. And I'm not sure why you keep insisting that those who can't stand her are jealous. Sounds childish to me.

*L* You are still using that jealousy thing.

Surely you could come up with something better after all this time. Now go away little man, and try and think of something new and remotely accurate.

Most of the damage has already been done--by George Bush.

What do you think Palin will do? Turn the nation into an Iranian-styled Christian theocracy?

Because normal people who are not jealous have no reason after she was not elected to continue to obsess over her.

If she was not elected why do you still continue to focus on her? It's called obsession and obsession is the offspring of jealousy. Attacking me will never change that in you.

I used to live in a communist country (so you know I am not white), now I feel like a new Chairman Mao has been created, so sad.
Remember--she wanted to impose religious dictatorship on secular Americans. She would transform the nation into a Christian theocracy if she had the chance. (Kind of like communism--dictating to people what they can and cannot do for the good of some higher power--in this cas a religion instead of the state.)

Regarding statism, I hope that you're more upset about the bailout and purchase of financial institutions--all done with the Republicans in power and in the White House. You might not like the idea of CEOs who've fleeced investors and companies having to pay higher taxes instead of being able to buy two yachts (and not just one), but you might enjoy the small tax break you're going to get and any incidental improvement in the nation's economy. (Don't worry, all of that redistributed wealth will just trickle it's way back up to the wealthy class anyway.)

So you are saying that Bill O'Reilly and Fox News are jealous of Palin as well? Is that why they continue talking about her?

Do you see the absence of logic in your argument? Although I do enjoy that, according to your "reasoning," your continued need to defend Palin shows obsession as well. Why are you jealous Big Jon? All looky and no touchy got you frustrated when it comes to Palin. Jealous of her husband, are you?

And I enjoy the Freudian slip in your post above. *L*
