StumbleLETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Continual criticism of Palin is overkill
Saturday, Sept. 12, 2009 | 2:04 a.m.
Sarah Palin-basher Gail Collins of The New York Times, in her Sept. 5 column in the Las Vegas Sun, was a little less nasty than usual. She admits that, for the first time in her life, she feels sympathy for Sarah Palin. Oh, goody. The Palins must feel relieved.
Why does Ms. Collins feel sympathetic? Because Levi Johnston, the ex-boyfriend of the Palins’ daughter Bristol, is interviewed in an unflattering article about the Palin family in Vanity Fair magazine. Young Johnston, the father of Bristol’s baby, described the Palins’ home life as anything but perfect.
But Levi himself, a high school dropout, comes across as a typical spoiled, whiny, self-centered, not-too-bright teenager — exactly the kind of boy-child most feared by parents of teenage girls.
Ms. Collins complains that during the Republican National Convention, Sarah Palin created the fantasy that the hand-holding Levi and Bristol were the ideal, loving couple. But Collins does give Sarah Palin credit for once trying to separate Bristol from Levi. Alas, too late. At least the Palins were up front and honest about their unwed, pregnant daughter.
Levi Johnston said his girlfriend’s mom didn’t know how to shoot a gun. Too bad Sarah Palin didn’t turn the gun on Levi, but the Palins should be glad there wasn’t a shotgun wedding. Imagine having Levi as a son-in-law.
What new bit of scandal about the Palins could Levi Johnston have revealed for Vanity Fair that the horde of newsmen who descended on Alaska before last year’s election didn’t dredge up?

Sarah could very easily end all the criticism, the jokes and the heat that keeps coming her way. She could just leave the kitchen.
An important note - today the "9-12 Project" will take place in Washington, D.C. Thousands of patriotic Americans will converge on our nation's capital to express their SUPPORT for American values and principles (e.g., free-enterprise) and their OPPOSITION to the extensive spending and neo-socialist programs promoted and/or passed by the President and Congress.
The event will be reported LIVE by Fox News Channel's Glen Beck starting at 1 PM EDT (10 AM, local time).
Now, let the mainstream media attempt to downplay and denigrate this Town Hall-style event. After all, hopefully, "seeing is believing" even to deniers of reality.
Thank you StanG for so plainly showing the world why the media does this to Sarah Palin...They want her to leave the kitchen because she threatens their leader.
Not going to happen. The lady is as tough as nails. She can handle the rabid press, the paid-off ex-almost son-in-laws, and all the traps Barack Obama's team have set out for her.
She shook them loose by resigning and is now on offense. Levi is just an old trick the DNC and the media are recycling...Yes I said the DNC. Who bought Levi's new truck? Who bought Levi and his family new wardrobes? The new hunting gear, keeps the lights on and so forth. Nobody in that house works. Who pays for all of his trips to the lower 48. Tyra Banks said they did not pay him. Same as Larry King. Who did?
I know who did, and so do you.
Maria: what Palin-led offensive? I see none manifesting.
Palin has only discovered the price to be paid for fame. To see what it's like when one seeks the public's attention, just look at the magazine covers next time you're in the checkout line at the grocery store.
She wanted it, she got it, now she gets to live with it.
"Sarah could very easily end all the criticism, the jokes and the heat that keeps coming her way. She could just leave the kitchen." and enter into mainstream politics...
Double standard from the elite media.....no way.....
Joe the Light Bulb Biden is hilarous.
He claimed to graduate in the top half of his law class....he graduate 76th of 85 students.
He said that we should focus on a 3 letter word...Jobs, Jobs, Jobs ....that is a 4 letter word.
He personally gave Israel a green light to attack Iran.
He called Russia a financially backward country right before the State department was about to launch a series of high level talks with them.
He kept talking about Obama increasing the number of battalions when it should have been brigades.
He was caught in college stealing term papers for his own use.
He was caught on more than on occassion on giving speechs the were directly lifted from other people's speeches.
He use to claim that his wife was killed by a drunk driver even though the cops say the other driver had nothing to drink and it was his wife the ran a stop sign and pull in front of the other driver in an intersection.
He once proposed giving Iran $500 million just to make them be more friendly with us.
He once proposed breaking Iraq into tiny little countries.
He asked a man in a wheelchair to stand up.
Introducing Obama for the first time and called him "Barack America".
He said that after the stock market crash in 1929 that FDR went on TV to speak to the country. FDR was not president in 1929 and only a handful of people had TV's.
Every once in a while he gets things write. He said that the Obama adminstration was clueless about the economy.
Here are videos of Biden drunk....

Keep up the good work, Light Blub Joe.
it is really very simple...
sarah palin is dumb as a bag of rocks...
an idiot...
a moron...
and it is an absolute disgrace that the retarded republican party named her as the vp candidiate...
a total and complete joke...
it provides conclusive proof that the ends always justify the means for our retarded republican friends...
even if they destroy the country in the process...
who the hell would want to be a retarded republican these days!!!
PALIN / WURLZEBACHER 2012
The Dumb & Plumber ticket!
replaced by,
PALIN / WILSON 2012
The plunger has been passed from one Joe W to another Joe W!
The President of the United States, in a joint address to Congress, lowers his office to debate a former Governor's statement on Facebook?
What are they so afraid of?
Palin/Wilson... I like it... Real People...
Kennedy - Camelot
Obama - Shangri-La
neiman1:
Nobody's afraid of Palin. Pumping her up to be the face of the republican party is good strategy by the dems. It allows sane Americans to see plainly what the repuglican party has devolved into.
Joe Wilson will be a distant memory in 2012, like many other republican pols.
Palin however, due to her inability to keep her mouth shut will still be a laughing stock, probably a rich one still suckering supporters out of their money.
Sarah Palin just reaps what she sows, as do we all.
That little punk Levi will become a man someday, and he'll look back and cringe at how he's handled himself during his 15 minutes of fame.
You nuts that promote Palin/Joe Blow do a real disservice to your party. Choosing lightweights like that does NOT help elevate the discussion of today's issues. It's just a distraction. Can't you find anyone with a brain stem?
Birdiedreamin - Thanks for inane post! You're the exact reason Democrats will lose the House and Senate next year. You've been brainwashed (but, it was a quick wash) by the mainstream media to denigrate and destroy someone (Sarah Palin) you've never met, so do not know and obviously, who has accomplished much more in her life than you will ever do. Watch the "9-12 Project" march on Washngton, D.C. today and find out how real and strong "conservative" opposition to your Muslim, SOCIALIST leader is at present. The "voice" heard today will be be reflected in an overwhelming defeat for Democrats in next year's mid-term elections. Now, go finish in your Kool-Aid!
Wow News1950- calling Birdiedreamin brainwashed?! That's ironic as you are clearly brainwashed by Fox News. Fox News (nor does any other outlet) have to report the truth since Reagan made it so by eliminating any kind of fair and balanced reporting requirements. Gee, what a world. The far right are only concerned with selfish greed, not anything important like health care and education. And don't give me that line of BS that all other outlets are liberal. Fox News is soooo far right, they would make anything seem liberal.
djeco...
Deregulation under Dutch has done irreparable harm to Media.
Does anyone remember the days when you actually had to be responsible to the public as a media outlet?
In media today, there are NO SCRUPLES.
Radio, Newspapers, Television, have all gone Corporate, which has essentially killed competition.
A radio market, for example, with 18 radio stations, would not be dominated by 3 owners. You would have some real local ownership, which makes the product infinately better.
Thanks gmag39- good post!
Bumbles Biden-The stupidest man in Washington. I have a pet rock that has more intelligence than Bumbles. Of course smart democrats would be an oxymoron.
Jane:
You say the Palins were up front and honest
about their unwed, pregnant daughter. I say they
were only honest out of necessity. It's hard to
hide a pregnant daughter. Sarah has two big problems.
1. Lack of knowledge
2. Wrong ideology
She would make a good side-kick for Glen Beck.
News1950:
The "9-12 Progect" shows the world the lunatic
fringe in action. These nuts are trying to stop
middle class Americans from obtaining better
health care.
True Anti-AMERICANS

Bill Maher calls it THE MILLION MORON MARCH.
gmag39: On target about lack of media compettition!
Djeco - Are you living on another planet? BRAINWASHED? Turn on your TV and watch ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND people presently in Washington, DC ( and thousands more in other cities) protesting the extensive spending and neo-socialist programs of THIS federal government. Sadly, you and the truly "brainwashed" liberals are on the wrong side of this movement.
I've been following politics since 1964 so I'm very familiar with political tactics and the only "brainwashing" I've noticed lately is by the mainstream media and the PINHEADS in the federal government. Don't choke on your Kool-Aid!
True AMERICANS pay for their own healthcare. Social parasites are Anti-Americans who want to freeload off of people who are better than they are.
Teamster - WISE-UP! The "9-12 Project" is a group of concerned Americans that want an end to the massive spending programs enacted by Barack Obama and his Democrat-controlled Congress. Our nation does NOT have any more money! Do you understand? NO MORE MONEY! We're on the verge of bankruptcy and the treasury is printing (and spending) money like we're in a Monopoly game. What do you do when you do not have any money?
Teamster - Bill Maher IS a MORON - a spiteful, hateful, anti-American who has found supporters in people with substandard mental faculties, a complete lack of logic and an inability to reason when confronted with a difficult situation.
Palin is ignorant white trash
Nick, If Sarah Palin is ignorant white trash, where does that put you on the tree of evolution?
Keep it up... The Independents are going to change the face of Congress next year and then...
Of course, lib koolaid want to totally control speech. They they hate free speech.
Oh, by the way....we do we sign up for the re-education camps, too.
Hey guys... If you do not want to watch FOX NEWS, you have several other choices. How about MSNBC? They are probably more like your way of thinking. No? Then how about CNN? No? Cable news is just not far enough left for you. Then how about NBC, CBS, ABC and PBS? Oh, you don't watch T.V... Then how about the New York Times and most of the other daily papers.
But if you were honest, you just don't think that people that hold different political views, should not be allowed to speak their views.
Sarah Palin and Joe Wilson are the best that the republicans can offer.
So all of you Glen Beck-worshiping morons think the status quo is fine?
And, I remember once upon a time when it was "unpatriotic" to speak out against Bush when he led us into a money-sucking, misdirected, quagmire of a war. So, take your free speech argument and shove-it.
In a bold move, Sarah Palin is silencing her Critics by resigning her position as Governor of Alaska. This may actually be a convincing moment in the History of American Politics.
As a Freedom Person, she will be able to receive $50,000 to $100,000 per speech and with her new book, coming out in spring, Sarah will be worth $$$.
What is Sarah doing?
She compares her decision to a Basketball Player who passes the Ball to a Teammate for the good of the Team. It is rather like a double reverse Hand-off in Football. Sarah plans to start an Organization for Children until the 2010 Elections, in which she will get the...
"Ball back". She also wants to start a Grassroots Movement for a 3rd Party...Libertarian. Sarah calls it the "American Party" or "Liberty Party".
The Timing?
It has nothing to do with the 4th of July, but rather because the Obama Administration is at the lowest ebb since he took office.
Sarah talks about smaller Government, etc. This move is intended to make the Obama Administration think about the current Policies that they have put forth recently. (Notice that the Obama Administration is quite about this?
They are scared to death of her because some recent polls show that if the Election were held today, Sarah may win by over 80%).
I did this for this great Woman!!!
1) 150,000 Dollar clothes..."A man can wear the same clothes and no one will notice. A woman cannot do that because if She wears the same clothes in July...and then again in October...People will notice. That is why women have big wardrobes. (Personal from Sarah..."She gave her clothes to Charity"))).
2) Written to Boston University:
The (5) Continents..."All are bordered by Water and begin with the same first and last letter "A", (Alaska)? America, Asia, Australia, Antarctica, Africa. Arctic is not a continent because it has no Earth beneath.
What do Sarah (Sassy) Palin, Paris Hilton, and Paula Abdul have in common?
All money and no brains?
Hey djeco, have you ever held the office of Governor for any State? Have you ever held any political office? Why not???
syfredrick. They are all women who are in the public spotlight and don't need to be demeaned by the likes of you...
Well, I guess if she could. ANYONE could! Me, I have too much of a conscience to be a politician.
djeco, I have to agree with your statement on having too much of a conscience to be a politician.
Birdiedreamin
sarah palin is dumb as a bag of rocks...
Top This!!!
This is one of Sarah Palin's recent speeches, and I agree with her.
This is a case of the drive-by Liberal Media taking advantage of this great, moral Woman.
"I do not know what you choose, but as for me, I choose freedom.
My freedom is being traded or all kinds of causes: for health care reform, for campaign finance reform, for immigration reform, for global warming/climate change, for bailouts of the government and their Wall Street pals, for banking reform, and even for partisan gain by Democrats and Republicans, "liberals" and "conservatives", and for lots of other causes and reforms.
NONE of these causes or reforms is equal in value to my freedom and my freedom, which I own inherently, is beyond the jurisdiction of political parties, governments or corporations.
I love peace, I love my country, I believe in a civil society, I believe in open and fair public debate, and I believe in the democratic process. I value my freedom more than life itself, for freedom is the greatest gift I can pass on to my progeny, against which all other promises are pale and meaningless.
I am sovereign and free and this has not one thing to do with any human document or law or earthly power, I own this freedom and if I choose to submit to practices that make me less free I choose a path of self-destruction and I choose to betray my sacred obligation to my family, my nation and to my progeny.
I choose to live in freedom from fear. Fear is a mind killer, it is the handmaiden of slavery: it is better to be bold and perish than to live on in fear. I fear only God.
The cause of freedom is not a calculation of probabilities, it is a matter of principle, it is not a matter of what may or may not succeed but what is or is not right, proper, and necessary.
I fear neither failure nor death itself, I hope in my God and I obey my conscience towards my nation and my progeny.
To stand for freedom, come what may, is itself a reward and if all I receive is the honor of having stood, even if at the cost of my very life or all I hold dear in this life, I have received enough for any man in this life to be content with.
I choose freedom for myself, for my nation, and for my progeny. I reserve the right, alone if necessary, to stand up for my freedom against all enemies, foreign or domestic, in the same spirit in which I proudly wore a sailor's uniform".
Well, at least we can agree on something. By the way, don't everyone call the grammar police. I should have had a comma between could and anyone. Doesn't look good for me if I'm trying to look smart :-)
If and when Palin is no longer a public figure - spouting inanities - the Plain-bashing can cease. Until then, she made herself fair game to any and all criticism.
As for her inanities, Palin may have, but doesn't use, the brains that God gave geese.
LasVegasRock is going to explain to us all why he thinks that "Palin may have, but doesn't use, the brains that God gave geese."
And I bet if "Palin is no longer a public figure - spouting inanities - the Plain-bashing can cease.", it won't. Just like George Bush, the bashing goes on and on...
johnaustin123: Good speech- (although the repeated use of "progeny" a little creepy); however, there is no way she wrote that herself.
Returning to the way we were, and needing help in all that we do" Dedicated to Sarah Palin and our Elderly...She Fights for our Freedom's...and for our Constitution...in the way that our Fore-Fathers and God meant it to be...
Our Elderly may have no Hope under HR 3200:
Circle of Life
It seems so very strange
How things seem to change
When you`re a new baby
At first you can`t even see
You need help with everything you do
Mom & Dad are there to take care of you
They bathe you and dress you
Change you and feed you too
They help you to sit and learn to walk
They help with your speech, as you learn to talk
They scrub your nails and comb your hair
When you need them they are always there
They put you in your stroller and push you down the street
They help you as you try to stand on your own two feet
They carry you till you can walk, then they hold your hand
They are there to listen when you need someone to understand
They keep you warm and cover you when you are cold
They continue to care for you as they are growing old
Then your parents grow old and some lose their sight
Some elderly have kidney problems and wet the bed at night
Some can`t get up and go, Like they did when they were young
Isn't it strange how we sometimes go back to how our life begun
It`s like a circle of life as we age, We sometimes go through
Returning to the way we were, and needing help in all we do...
Then when they need someone, where will you be
If their eyes go bad and suddenly they can no longer see
When they are the ones that need help in all they do
Will you be there, Will they be able to depend on you
Will you be there to hold on to them as they try to walk?
Will you listen to their broken speech as they try to talk?
Would you bathe them and dress them too
Would you change them like they changed you?
Would you push them in their wheel chair?
Like they pushed you in your stroller every where
Will you clean their nails and comb their hair
When they need you, Will you be there
Will you care for them, like they cared for you?
Sit up with them like they did you the whole night through
Will you feed them and cover them when they are cold
Will you be there to comfort them as they grow old?
We can never repay our parents for all that they do
But you can be there for them as they were for you
If you think about it, you`ll see what I`m saying is true
Someday you may be elderly, Will someone be there to help you
Isn't it strange how we sometimes go back to how our life begun
Some can`t get up and go, Like they did when they were young
It`s like a circle of life as we age, We sometimes go through...
ja123- You forgot the part where my parents had to pay a third of their income on routine health care because of monopolistic insurance companies. The status quo isn't working for them.
The Sarah Palin Application for Obama's Cabinet
Matt Negrin
Posted: Nov 13th 2008 5:06PM
Filed under: US Elections, Politics, Featured Stories, Boston University
No. 44 Barack Obama is following through on his campaign promise to create new jobs by hiring thousands of people to fill new positions in his administration. The 63-question application is quite extensive -- some say invasive -- and seeks to weed out conflict-of-interesty people.
Anyone can apply -- members of any party, state or pyramid-scheme-based religion. So you can imagine my surprise when a top McCain aide leaked this to me.
Name: Sarah Louise Heath Palin
Occupation: Governor, Alaska/Personal Shopper, Nieman Marcus
Position Desired: Maverick

-- For more than two months in 2008, I lived abroad in the continental United States during my campaign to be vice president.

(24) Please list all loans in excess of $10,000 made to you or your spouse.
-- OK, seriously? The clothing thing is getting ridiculous.
(26) Please describe all real estate held in your name or in your spouse's name during the last ten years.

(42) Please list any lawsuits ... in which you or your spouse have testified at trial or deposition.

Thank You djeco!...for a great comment. Sarah gave that speech live in Indiana about (3) months ago (without teleprompter) and she did have help by a speech writer...Google...
This report was also downplayed by Main Media:
(Unbelievable)
Subject: Sarah Palin Meets the Pope:
Sarah Palin is invited to meet with the Pope while he is vacationing south of Rome in Venice.
The liberal press reluctantly watches the semi-private audience, hoping they will be able to allot minimal coverage, if any.
The Pope asks Governor Palin to join him on a Gondola ride through the canals of Venice.
They're admiring the sights and agreeing on moral issues when, all of a sudden, the Pope's hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water.
The gondolier starts to reach for the Pontiff's cap with his pole, but this move threatens to overturn the floating craft.
Sarah waves the tour guide off, saying, "Wait. I'll take care of this."
She steps off the gondola onto the surface of the water and walks out to the Pope's hat, bends over and picks it up. She walks back across the water to the gondola and steps aboard.
She hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence.
The next morning the topic of conversation among Democrats in Congress, CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, CNN, the New York Times, Hollywood celebrities, and in France and Germany is:
"Palin Can't Swim."
News1950:
Do you think it's right for Americans with
pre-existing conditions to be denied health care?
johnaustin:
Let's get the facts straight. Sarah got
caught with her fingers in the State cookie jar.
That's why she quit. How soon they forget.
hamster: Hogwash. Any indiscretions Palin committed were minor and incredibly insignificant in comparison to what officials of organized labor have done historically. Of course, we know that the unions now operate in a totally transparent manner. Palin left because she's interested in performing on a larger stage before a national audience. Whether she's ultimately successful remains to be seen.
Are you a union leader, member of the rank and file, or just a wannabe?
mike germ:
Minor indiscretions? THAT'S LAUGHABLE.
They were major,and you know it.
I'm a life long Teamster member who fights
daily for the middle class in this country.
My perception is that organized labor seeks to subordinate its members into a dependent class that is decidedly not middle class in a manner similar to what the Democrat Party has done to African-Americans with the social-welfare state. The middle class I'm familar with either owns small businesses or works in a professional vocation. With minimum wage laws and an aggressive community of trial lawyers, why do we even have unions? Except for the political aggrandizement of their leaders and sponsors, they appear to be increasingly irrelevant.
Hey teamster, do you have any facts to back up your statement about Sarah Palin?
Are you an active or retired Teamster member?
I have two old friends who are recently retired Teamster drivers for Road Way. They retired when they were both around 60 years old and are left without medical insurance until they go on Medicare at age 65. Is this the way it is with all Teamster shops? I noticed that some unions such as the auto unions pay for medical insurance for their retirees.
Mike:
We have unions so we can protect jobs, wages
and benefits with a written contract. Everyone
knows where they stand. We make aggrements with
management and workers that are abided by, all
for job security.
LarryVegas:
Sarah's situation is ongoing. It would be
improper to comment any further.
Some Teamster shops pay for retirees health
care and some don't. This is one reason why I
advocate President Obama's health care reform.
Saraha Palin and a bag of rocks. Which one is hotter? You loser's can keep the bag of rocks, Sarah is HOT. I wouldn't mind hearing You betcha all the time from her. Tell me what Democrat female is HOT like Palin and don't say Hillary or Nancy?
all these people who don't want his health care reform just wait when your mom dad niece nephew son daughter comes up with a health issue when you insurance said we can not help you or we have to cancel your insurance because u have existing health issue. then you will cry and sniffle. every1 need health care black white rich poor. every1 who oppose this reform. it not the reform itself it the person who in the white house smart black man. people only want a white person in the white house. this is a racial issue not political issue. what happen that dumb a%% BUSH want a reform every1 would agree with it. people are still afraid that a smart black is in office with his beautiful family.
Old news....next story !!!
Personally, all the negative press from mainstream media only makes me and many others like her more. Her tenacity, broad shoulders and great demeanor make me know this is someone I could support politically. As for all the drama with Levi Johnston, a nobody who keeps stretching his '5' minutes of fame, he needs to grow up, get a job, support his love child, and move on.
burritobandit: How about Nancy Pelosi, fifty years ago! Aggggggggggh! Can you imagine what it must be like waking up next to her? Aggggggggg!
perry16149 stated: "every1 who oppose this reform. it not the reform itself it the person who in the white house smart black man. people only want a white person in the white house. this is a racial issue not political issue."
My friend, it is you who is the racist...
The funny thing is that the Palins consider Levi's family to be white trash. While I have little doubt they are correct, it strikes me that the Palins, themselves, are a fine example of pure-bred (inbred?) all-american white trash.
Hey barry, did the Palins tell you that fact about the Levi's family or are you just making it up?
You also write: "...Palins, themselves, are a fine example of pure-bred (inbred?) all-american white trash." Really now, how do you base you opinion?
And, where do you consider you are on the tree of evolution?
This article appears to have brought out the very worst in left wing "creeps and freaks".
God help us all if any of you are capable of breeding.
Sarah Palin, the Republican Party, & the Tea Baggers *snicker,snicker* should blame themselves for their current problems. Sarah for not being her crazy Alaskian self during the campagne. While her fellow neo-cons (more like cons as in convicts) wanted to let the government pay for bailout and pork. While the Tea Baggers are holding on to a party that betrade them since the year 2000, when the neo-cons hijacked the their party. Those poor folks should leave the Republicans in Mass Exodus to the Libertarians/Constitutionalist. But they alas cannot since the power belongs only to the major two parties.
My comments were misunderstood. First of all, I love Sarah Palin. She is probably the most entertaining politician to come along in a generation. I hope she runs for president. I cannot get enough of her.
I learned a great deal from her campaign. For example, I never before realized that Alaska was a haven for white trash, kind of like West Virginia with snow.
The Palins strike me as erudite white trash, while Levi's family is distinctly several rungs lower. Levi is a rat, crybaby, tattle-tale, etc. The fact that the Palins put him in a suit and tried to pass him off as a human being at the convention is inexcusable and in a way makes them deserving of his subsequent duplicity.
A previous post questioned my place on the tree of evolution. I guess evolution is an odd topic to be discussing in posts following a Sarah Palin article. Regardless, I have all of my teeth and have never had sex with a relative, so I clearly occupy an evolutionary position higher than the Palins and their supporters.
Hey Vegasvampire, just checking to see it you know the meaning of "Tea Baggers." You must because of your "*snicker,snicker*" This type of profanity has no place in these discussions.
Larry Vegas...Tea Bagger were what they were actually themselves during April 15th Protest... Can you actually believe it, calling yourself a Teabagger!!!...I know, but its the truth!!!!!
Thanks Vegasvampire, good response.
Hey if you are interested, HR-3400 is a Health Care Reform bill introduced by Republicans. It may be lacking in certain areas but if you are interested you can view it at thomas.loc.gov
I don't imagine that it will ever make it out of sub committee since the Democrats have related bill on the House Floor waiting for full vote.
The media (along with Democrats) continue to bash Palin for basically no reason. There is no way she will ever be able to run for high office because of the media attacks of the past. (They did the same to Dan Quayle a generation ago). He hasn't been heard from since. Of course, people like Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and now the idiot from Minnesota can say and do whatever they want without the same media taking notice. What's all the fuss, The Republicans will run someone they think can win, And I don't think that will include Palin on the ticket anyway. I bet Palin knows that there are 50 states. Has anyone corrected Obama on his comment about 53 or 54 states? NO? If Palin had said that, we'd still be hearing about it.
I'm still waiting to have somebody tell what female democrat is HOTTER than Sarah Palin.
Mike I could not imagine waking up to Pelosi every morning. Sue Lowden is HOT also
Did Dan Quayle or Sarah Palin give an opinion on how to fix Medicare or the Health System? I'll take that as a "NO". That is why they get heckled. Just being an image without having an opinion of politics, then you get what you take out. At least Pres. Obama can tell you what he wants done, maybe he could spell "potato" also.

But Dan Quayle did speak up and down about Tort Reform back in his Vice-presidency but her gave the speeches to crowds of Lawyers. *LMFAO*
The President can tell you what he wants done but I don't know if he can get it done without running it through Congress with very little or debate by Congress and no public intake.
The President has his talking points on Health Care Reform but he has no bill/plan. Appears he is playing the game of "bait and switch" by telling one thing and then pushing something else (HR-3200) through Congress.
LarryVegas: LBJ shoved Medicare through Congress without a fight. Jusat like President Obama will do to the Public Option and Health Care Reform.
Phargo: The Republicans don't like Sarah Palin not because she is a woman. But she scare the general public because she has no agenda but is still a figurehead of a Party that has no current goals.
Phargo: You got to admit that President Obama has community organized alot of things in the past months since he's been POTUS.
I'm not sure I believe everything Levi Johnston is saying, but isn't he essentially doing the same thing Sarah P did--exploiting his notoriety for 15 minutes of fame? They're not that different, really.
rayy: Really? You post: "...but isn't he essentially doing the same thing Sarah P did--exploiting his notoriety for 15 minutes of fame?"
Would you please give some details on your assumption instead of just rhetoric...
I not a big Palin fan but its very obvious that the character assasination is directly tied to fear.
mikegino...
that is the funniest thing I've heard all day.
Thanks for the humor.
You know what...if John McCain's people hadn't picked Palin to (in an attempt to counter H. Clinton getting the female vote) be his running mate,we would have never even heard of Palin. Stay out of government Sarah and pay attention to your kids. They need your help more than our country does!
A little narrow minded there LV4LIFE...
And maybe a little sexist...
Maybe Larry, but its my opinion.
