If Palin resigned last July and went home to nurse her wounds and bake cookies, what has she been doing since last October/November?
She has been working as hard as anyone to defeat Obozo and the Libturd congress. Taking MSM/libturd flak for “death panels” ,(no WTC , it’s in quotes but you didnt say it lol), crap and tax, drill baby drill while Mitt went AWOL. No credit for that WTC?
A Quitter!! lol wish Mitt had done half for the country she has
Without entering into an analysis of Ms. Palin, I just find it funny that so many of the same talking heads, or their intellectual forebears, didn’t think that some two-bit b-movie actor was qualified to be President, either. Turns out he was qualified to be one of the best Presidents this country has ever had.
Even some of Sarah's most ardent critics have conceded that her resignation was a smart move. Instead of being over $500,000 in debt and having any chance at national political ambitions destroyed (her enemies would have then said her term was too scandalized and "controversial" for her to be president or selected VP in 2012), she has made millions of dollars, she is drawing huge crowds and has the conservative base virtually locked up, and she controls her message. All pre-requisites for running for President.
But, but, but she quit. She has stopped criticizing Obama, she has run back to Alaska and she's hiding under a snowbank.

LOL! :)
When will she announce her candidacy for President? and it better not be Sept 2011 or later...ala Fred Thompson 2007.
Kudos to you. I missed it. Apologies.
I agree with Hillyer and the majority of the American people that Palin is not qualified to be president.So? I disagree with you. And Hillyer. Whoever the heck you may both be. She is more qualified than any of the others running, executive experience and common sense trump wealth, privilege and snottiness, at least in my humble corner of America.
Consider yourself fortunate. :)
It's my experience with some Palin fans that keeps her at arm's-length. I think they feel intense emotions about her, and so many people trust their emotions that they can't like what someone stands for AND admit to their flaws (or any flaws). I think many Palin fans are so frustrated at the ridiculous attacks from the media that any hint ofthe criticism ALL politicians deserve gives them an excuse to fire away, with the one unbeliever standing in for those remote reporters and talking heads.
It's bizarre to me how someone would feel such personal warmth for someone they only know through the media. These people are all politicians, for pete's sake. But when people hear a woman who talks as they do, they feel she is a stand-in for them, so when she's assaulted, they feel like THEY've been assaulted.
It's actually the same mindset that brought us Barack Obama--make people think you're One of Them, talk like them, and they feel close to you. Once they feel that way, they're in your corner, no matter who or what you really are.
Some have no problem with this. To me, though, it's why we're so screwed up politically, and why we probably always will be. (And I say this as someone who would vote for Palin over anyone else on the scene.) It's especially disturbing since we're supposed to be the party of adults--when people attack you for bringing up facts or even poll numbers, we've got a lot of nerve saying we're nothing like the other side.
i’d take Sarah Palin any day to Zero!
“She could have let the lieutenant governor temporarily muddle through for two months while she was running for VP...”
Thanks for the psychoanalysis. NOT!!!!!
And No I did not prove your false premise.
“When will she announce her candidacy for President? and it better not be Sept 2011 or later...ala Fred Thompson 2007.”
.
Truly!
But to those that pay attention to what she says and her facial expressions when she says it, she has fully committed herself to run; she simply cannot make anything that can be legally interpreted to be an announcement of candidacy, or it would hopelessly frustrate her economic and professional activities.
For that reason we have to be patient. The statistical data on her broadcast appearances (TV & radio) indicate that she has an audience of close to two million, and that’s going to require a ton of patience!
Her Facebook queue is already over a million slathering drooling fans that don’t know how to be patient. If you comment on one of her essays, the comment is lost in minutes, never to be found again. Facebook has to love her for that reason alone.
.
I couldn't have made up a better example if I tried.
What is your “evidence” she is unqualified?....and please do NOT parrot the MSM...but some clear evidence of policy failure, indecision, character flaw, or experience defect relative to other national candidates.
If you think that's Jefferson's line, or that Jefferson wasn't qualified for the office when he was elected (or that Palin is somehow commensurately qualified as Jefferson), I can see why you're sated by her credentials, just saying.
That right just keep on doing the left work. You do it so well.
ROTFLOL.
I agree with EVERYTHING you've said. You nailed, entirely.
