Hey, Palin protected Alaska from Russia. If it weren't for her we would all be speaking some Russian. Give her some credit.

6. In this age of divided politics, with the first black man running, that's pretty darn good. We don't live in the America of FDR where everybody saw the value in supporting the common good.

So go start another dozen of your "Bash Obama, I hate liberals, MSNBC" troll threads. What would P&OC be without those.

The facts are that a serious Palin candidacy in 2012 could well destroy the Republican Party. She will not win the support of center-right moderates anywhere.

The woman has a Journalism degree from U of Idaho, no understanding of International Affairs, Economics or even simple World Geography. As much as I don't agree with Obama and his policies, I heard a local talk show host say that Palin's qualifications are better than Obama's. Hmm, U of Idaho vs Harvard Law School. How dumb can these people be? Anyways, Obama has done a terrible job so far but I could never support a simpleton, anti-intellectual idiot like Palin.
I'm a Republican and a regular FOX viewer, but I can agree with you about Sarah Palin (although I wouldn't call her an "idiot"). I'm sure she is a nice person and I wish her well, but she just isn't cut out for being President or vice-President. If she wants to get into national politics she should run for Congress and get herself familiar with it (in addition to foreign affairs). I just can't agree with all of those people who think she is qualified to be President right now.

I am neutral on Palin but a reasonable argument that her executive experience was more relevant to being President than his senate experience. I think most of the country is underwhelmed by his preformance so far. Part of his failure may be attributed to his lack of executive experience.

McCain's 2008 campaign will go down as one of the worst run campaigns in history.
As comical as all the democrats and liberals who are obsessed with every little thing she does.

Yeah, pghquest, this is a "bash Palin" thread. No conservatives allowed.

The "black man running" holds absolutely no value at all, unless you think most americans are racist but voted for him anyways. 6 points, pretty darn good?

"Palin is an idiot"
"McCain is old"
"Republicans for big business"
"Obama massivly outspent McCain"
"Obama a much better speaker"
'Bush" (need I expand this further?)

And all you have to show for it is the argument that he was black and 6 points? Please give the racist bull **** a rest..

I personally cant stand Palin and would never want her anywhere near the White House, but given the alternative, I'd take her anyday.

The comical thing I've noticed all year though is that liberals are still bashing conservatives who have no power and cant do anything. Palin, she published a book... yippee, lets create 4583 threads about it because we dont want to discuss the real problems going on in society. As if she's the biggest concern americans have..
