Ron Paul was over for me when he blamed the US for 911.

Same here. A smart man would have realized that mistake and at least try to spin out of the abyss.

He's an Isolationist in a Global threat era.

"Problem is who else is there at this point? "

That is a question I will concern myself with after the 2010 elections. My guess is that a frontrunner will emerge then. Right now, I am more worried about making 2010 resemble 1994.

I am about 2/3 through her book, and what impresses me the most is that Sarah is a very fine writer, she is very witty, and she was one heck of a fine Gov. of Alaska.

She would make a fine President, and I hope she runs.

Thank you, Polybius. I have long since grown weary of Mrs. Palin's victim schtick as well as the never ending soap opera/reality show aura that surrounds her family.

"You never get a second chance to make a good first impression" as the saying goes.

What Is Sarah Palin?

Oh, about forty points or so in front of anybody The AmConMag is likely to support.

You can blame the Drive By Media. THEY’RE the ones keeping the “soap opera/reality show aura” alive.

Good point. But, I do think that Mrs. Palin could do/could have done more to present herself differently. Too late, now.

Yes, but Sarah’s only human. She’s not perfect, she makes mistakes like everyone else. However, she’s still a good person, and she still has my respect and empathy.

Also, think about it. Do you really think that Sarah wants all that negative media attention?

She’s gaining on him. If things keep going the way they are, she’ll probably surpass him.

As I said before, it is pretty pathetic when America's future is determined by, "This unqualified and inexperienced Affirmative Action candidate has higher poll numbers than that unqualified and inexperienced Affirmative Action candidate."

If Obama and Palin had both been white males in 2008, would anybody have ever considered either one of them a serious candidate for the Presidency or the Vice Presidency with their utter lack of experience?

No.

Cute 8th Grade taunt, Larry.

However, that does not change the fact that Levi Johnston has absolutely nothing do with me but is a huge PR millstone wrapped tightly around Sarah Palin's neck.

I did not have the incredibly poor judgement to allow that scumbag son of a drug addict anywhere near my daughter. Sarah Palin did.

I did not have the incredibly poor judgement to allow that scumbag son of a drug addict to get my daughter pregnant at the age of 17. Sarah Palin did.

I did not have the incredibly poor judgement to allow that scumbag son of a drug addict to live in my house. Sarah Palin did.

I did not have the incredibly poor judgement to allow that scumbag son of a drug addict to engage in very public pissing contest with me. Sarah Palin did.

If you, a Sarah Palin fan, cannot stand the sight of Sarah Palin's own mistake, how do you think that the vast majority of voters that do not worship Sarah Palin view him and her soap opera family life?

They view it as a trashy reality show.

The stars of trashy reality shows can make lots of money, like Sarah Palin is making now, they can be wildly popular with their small fan clubs and they can be famous or infamous but they are NOT voted into the White House by the majority of the American electorate.

>The 2008 Presidential/Vice Presidential race and the recent New York Congressional race and that has resulted in two candidates FAR to the Left of what the electorate usually votes for?

First off, let me remind you that McCain was the Presisdental candidate, not Sarah. In other words, the election was his to win or lose, not hers. McCain lost mainly for 3 reasons-the economy went south, the Iraq War became unpopular, and Bush became unpopular and Republicans got tarred with guilt by association.

Second, Hoffman probably lost because he was a Third party candidate, and many people are not comfortable with Third parties, Also, Hoffman wasn’t very far behind Owens.

Third, you may have forgot (or just don’t know) that Sarah also supported Sen. Chambliss and he WON.

>The difference, Joe, is that our families don’t have a “rather gay looking poofter” with a druggie mother knocking up our daughters when they are 17.

>Sarah Palin does not even have the common sense to protect her own 17 year old daughter from the obviosly scumbag son of a mother arrested on drug charges. If Sarah Palin cannot run her own family, how can she run America?

Ah, so that’s it. It seems that you’re indulging in a favorite pastime of liberals-namely blaiming someone for something that someone else did. It was Bristol’s fault that she slept with Levi, not Sarah’s. Teenagers, from what I hear, have a rep for being rebellious and not always following their parents’ advice. Yes, Bristol was foolish, but she wasn’t the first girl to be suckered in by a bad boy, nor the last.

“However, that does not change the fact that Levi Johnston has absolutely nothing do with me but is a huge PR millstone wrapped tightly around Sarah Palin’s neck.”

You can blaime the Drive By Media, Polygrip. THEY’RE the ones keeping him around.

“I did not have the incredibly poor judgement to allow that scumbag son of a drug addict anywhere near my daughter. Sarah Palin did.

I did not have the incredibly poor judgement to allow that scumbag son of a drug addict to get my daughter pregnant at the age of 17. Sarah Palin did.”

Did Sarah really let Levi knock Bristol up? Teenagers don’t always do what their parents say.

“I did not have the incredibly poor judgement to allow that scumbag son of a drug addict to live in my house. Sarah Palin did.”

Did she really?

“I did not have the incredibly poor judgement to allow that scumbag son of a drug addict to engage in very public pissing contest with me. Sarah Palin did.”

You can thank the media and the Left in general for that. They gave Levi a public forum and encouraged him. Do you really think that Sarah wanted that pissing contest.

She is not ‘unqualified’ or ‘inexperienced’. Anybody who has actually done proper research into her record would know that.

But of course, don’t let silly things like facts and research get in the way of your irrational hatred.

So as usual, you’re completely and utterly wrong.
