Before you make any judgements, let me say a few words.

I'm a pro-life Catholic who believes in social justice.

Now, Sarah Palin makes an excellent pundit. She is great when it comes to repeating the party talking points and criticizing Obama. She's also great at portraying herself as a victim of the media.

But I don't see what she has that actually proves herself worthy of the highest office in the world. Just because you agree with her on some pressing issues doesn't mean she'd make a great president. I agree with my neighbor on almost everything, but I wouldn't vote for him because I think the Office negates a high amount of intellect and leadership quality that I don't find in him. I find even less in Palin.

When someone becomes President, they become President of AMERICA, not the President of REPUBLICAN.

Will she continue to claim that those who are for certain legislation aren't real Americans? That they don't love their country, and hate freedom?

Please, someone tell me what she sees in her over, say, Mitt Romney?

I leave with her words from one of her few interviews she's been in.

ps. I know I'm a communist/socialist/Muslim for being pro-social justice. Give your leader, Glenn Beck, my regards.
simple solution to your problem my friend don't look

Neither do the Vast Majority of voters in this Nation. She is nothing more than a talking head entertainer that panders to a small minority of rightwing voters so that she can remain in the limelight and in the process make Mo Money. She will probably make a run at the Whitehouse in 2012 and if she has any impact at all in the election it will be to draw voters away from the GOP and in the process ensure a Dem/Obama win. She does not realize the damage she could cause and probably does not care; people with visions of grandeur do not tend to care about anyone but themselves. Hopefully her biggest fans will come to their senses one of these days and stop supporting her with their hard earned dollars but I am not optimistic that they will. Sheep are one of the dumber barnyard animals.

Your attempts at wit and wisdom fall so flat on their faces. Prime example is the above blather.

But thanks for additing to the overall level of malignant hatred for all that is good and decent. That hatred, when collected all up and presented to the good and decent people of America, will reveal you "people" for what you are, and what you aren't, and your regressive movement will find itself with a virtual sword driven clean throught its virtual heart driven there by the American electorate. Thanks for digging the hole a little bit deeper.

[quote=Metlakatla;17528364]ft". Go to Alaska and talk to the people there and get the truth.
/QUOTE]

Or Met, how her popularity surged to all-time highs up here in Alaska just before her vice-presidential announcement only after she gave every man, woman and child approximately $1,200 energy bonus on top of our $1,800 permanent fund check. Cha-ching Cha-Ching Everyone loved spreading the wealth around then!

No opinion. I do know, however, Palin was good for Alaska.

I imagine that she's even more popular in North Dakota these days.

It figures you wouldn't know what I was talking about.

Go ask some former slope workers how good Palin was for Alaska.

We're only glad she was only gov. for a short period of time before she could screw things up even more.

Poor Sean Parnell is still untangling her mess but he's doing a pretty good job.
