I wouldn't presume to say what someone else actually believes...but she does claim to be a strong believer of a religion that supports the creationist "theory" and has suggested, during her thankfully short time in public office, that this "theory" be taught in the public schools.

During the campaign Obama told us he could just shake hands over coffee and all would be well. How'd that work?

Seems to me Iran has no respect for Obama.

It was probably best for Alaska due to the endless mud slinging from the left. She left the state is great shape -- not a trivial task under this admin's policies.

Besides she's the party's rain maker. Big bucks and an awesome campaign asset for the upcoming elections. Unlike Obama, the candidates she supports win

Once again, the majority of the mud slinging came from the governor's own party.

Can you please explain what you mean by leaving the state in great shape? The energy workers who have lost their jobs due to her ACES legislation would no doubt disagree with you.

From Sarah Palin Populism: Savvy Speech to Tea Party Movement - TIME

"The speech was inspired drivel, a series of distortions and oversimplifications, totally bereft of nourishing policy proposals — the sort of thing calculated, carefully calculated, to drive lamestream media types like me frothing to their keyboards. Palin is a big fat target, eminently available for derision. But I will not deride. Because brilliance must be respected, especially when it involves marketing in an era when image almost always passes for substance."

How so? Forbes ranks Alaska at #42 on their list of the best states for businesses.

So naive, so dangerous.
Why don't you go takeover the White House and just show 'em how it should be done.

Of course not. Just another lie and smear from the Left.

Sarah is playing to the crowd -- Volk like you. She has no idea what she's talking about regarding Iran sanctions, and obviously even less interest or she wouldnt be so... populist and naive.

Look... I dont want to do your and sarah's homework for you so I'll just refer you to this -- U.S. sanctions against Iran #Effects and criticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

it's a general summary, you can read further via the refs.

Obama knows how life works in the real world of politics and you dont and sarah doesnt. So... she should just... shut up.
Uh-huh. How's that strategy of obama's working? You know, shun the allies and embrace the enemy?

So far, the "deadlines" have come and gone, with no consequences.

Only tough, real sanctions will work now, the time for "talk" is over - that's what Palin believes.

why in the world would I trust Palin to know how to deal with Iran? Like she's ever done anything remotely similar to that ever.
