Look at FOX 's website today. Half the stories and links featured are about Sarah Palin. As long as the right is determined to put her on a pedestal the left will continue to make fun of her and call her out on her ridiculous remarks. That isn't fear. It's just shining a light on the sorry state of the Republican party who can't come up with any credible leadership.

That would be horrible! Michelle Bachmann would ruin the election with stupid comments. Believe me, I'm from Minnesota and I hear her on the news a lot.

You realize they basically share the same type of supporters correct?

You can't say anything about it if you haven't read it!

Yes, I know that. It's just that I would rather have someone with the same policies run instead of Michelle.

Standing up to Exxon? Please. Nothing could be farther from the truth, she is in the sack with Exxon.

She was asked during the infamous Couric interview (a startlingly revealing, off script look at Palin stumbling and fumbling over questions that could even barely be considered anything other than 'fluff') if she disagreed with any Supreme Court decisions. She said Roe v. Wade. Anything else? Couldnt name a single other decision she did. And the Supreme Court, in only one of a long history of controversial and sometimes dead wrong rulings, overturned the penalties to Exxon from the Valdez disaster. Exxon walked, and all those lives and the habitat they destroyed they barely paid a penny for, couple billion. A weeks worth of profits when they raise crude prices. That was Bush's Supreme Court, and Sarah didnt mind that one bit.

Standing up to? I dont think so. She aint tough, she's easy

I think it is much more frightening that our current president had no experience whatsoever in a higher office before being elected. It is my belief that he was elected based on his popularity and by the media more than his experience and credentials. To me, his actions so far have proven that a correct assumption. And the actions of the left have as well. I've seen t-shirts, Christmas ornaments, bumper stickers, earrings, etc. all with his picture on it. Is he a president, or a movie star?

I support Sarah Palin for many reasons. One, she is a woman. If we are looking for "change", a woman in the White House would be a great change.
She is conservative. She is not afraid to say it and support conservative views. She doesn't back down from confrontation.
As governer in Alaska, she removed herself from big oil influences and worked on conservation and green house issues.
She was also very popular in Alaska for her economic policies and her work on tax reform there.

Whenever I heard her speak or read what she has done as a leader, I liked what I saw.

If she wasn't so threatening, she wouldn't be attacked as she is by the media and the left wingers. People who are not threats do not get bothered with. Just look up her name on Google. This is what you get:

Palin's daughter
Palin's book
Palin's divorce
Palin's daughter's boyfriend
Palin's children, etc etc

You get the picture. The media is working very hard and overtime just to discredit her based on their fear. And for some reason, too many people buy into it without thinking for themselves.
