Cool. Making a run at the White House in 2012 no doubt. She is hardly qualified.

and Obama is????

I would speculate too, that this is her opening bid for the Whitehouse. Just like Carter set the stage for Regan, could Obama be doing the same for Palin?

OK, let the namecalling begin, here's a start; slutty, trashy, trailer parky, bimbo, stupid, etc.......

No doubt, a lot of speculation as to her motives.

But I find it refreshing to see a politician walk away without being forced to. Most of 'em you couldn't drag out by the heels.

Interesting to note also that she was cleared of all 15 ethics allegations (many of which were obviously trivial stabs by haters). The thing that makes her so interesting to me, is the fact that the left hasn't hated someone this much that I can remember. You have to wonder why.

Yeah, if The Right called some of the Left's icons anything close to the venom that's been spewed upon Sarah, the Shite-Storm would be unending..."Slutty Librarian/Stewardess/Whatever"....Can you see somebody saying something like THAT about Hitlery or The Hollow-Eyed Aging Hippie from Hate-Assbury & gettin' away w/it ?

If the left offered up a presidential candidate as ridiculous as Palin the same outrage and spoofs would be just as front and center. I admit that this can never be proved as neither the right nor the left has ever pulled a stunt like this before or are ever apt to again.

Um, are you not counting the guy that's in the white house now? The one, that in 6 months has put this country so far in debt, that our grandchildren won't be able to pay it off? The one that excuses, and hung out with domestic terrorists? The one that voted twice, to let children from botched abortions lay dying without the benefit of medical care? The one that attended the good Reverend Wrights church of hating whitey and the America he stood for (for over 20 years)? The one that bought his house from convicted real estate swindler Tony Rezko? The one that promised that NO American making under 250k would have a tax raise under his administration? The one with (to use the lefts wording) a slutty trailer park mother and dirt-bag alcoholic father? The one that voted "present" 95% of the time when he would make it to the votes in the Senate? You aren't forgetting that one are you?

No I am not.

I just watched the entire 18 minute resignation speech Sarah Palin made.

I am speechless.

Lets not forget...woman, wife, mother, grandmother and former Governor.

Funny... men in politics don't seem to get character assassination. Oh...they get scrutinized for their mental ability or policies...but women get the sexual adjectives tacked onto their names. She is a beautiful intelligent woman. Do you suppose some men feel threatened by her ability? Just wondering...any thoughts?
