If you're one of the people who thinks that former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is dumb as a hunk of frozen tundra, and as dead-in-the-water as the last salmon she reeled in, time to remove the hook from your lip and get a grip.

Water was a scarce commodity then, but they survived that.

The oil. My uncle and father have a couple of wells in common now. My grandmother had a well that was produced for 20+ years. Not big, but it helps, expecially now that the price is high.

No way in hell Romney even sniffs the RNC nomination.

You can say that again.

Mitt's fatal error was in not finding a way to create a relationship with the American people. To most voters, he's a name they've heard, but they really have no idea of who he really is.

Sarah, on the other hand, is like someone you talk to every week. It's hard NOT to know her. She's put herself out there among the public, and made herself known to most Americans.

Ironically, the left-wing MSM has helped Americans get to know her, by their intense fascination with all things Palin. They've tried their best to bring her down with their negative spin about her, but in these times, that's only made her more interesting and likable to the public.

The MSM has no fear of Mitt, so they've said very little about him in the last two years. By ignoring him, and by throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Palin, they've put him in the shadows. Lord knows, the man can't generate any buzz on his own, like Sarah can.

For better or worse, Palin is a known commodity, while Romney is something of a ghost, or a cardboard cut out, to voters. You can't get the nomination that way.

A little snarky but finishes well with...

Compared to Palin, President O looks, well, like a Twit-ter.

I was glad to see Ms. Palin getting a lot of recognition. I believe the show gave her excellent exposure, and I hope she can turn the exposure into some very nice momentum for whatever she plans to do politically and/or personally.

And I hope it gives the Palin haters more than bad indigestion.

But sorry, folks, I found the show more than a bit boring. My family and I will continue to watch to keep the TLC channel ratings up at that time slot.

But I'm not enjoying it.

A real man prefers to wear the pants in the house.

There is an unpleasent name for males that prefer the female to wear the pants in the house and run the show.

Mitt’s new show: Watch Me Watch Sarah Palin’s Alaska Show On TLC, And Then Talk About Her Show On Other Shows!

LOL! That's about the size of it, ain't it?

Poor Mitt. Outdone by the Lady, yet again.

I’m sure there are a lot of women who help their husbands or boyfriends clean deer and other wild game, some women maybe even shoot and clean their own. I’m not one of them, although I do shoot I don’t hunt . . . but lots do and being from Alaska, I’d think even more so than most states east of the Mississippi, especially in modern times.

They say the best cooks are masculine....everyone assumes the best hunters are masculine.....people like you assume the best leaders are masculine....people like you assume the best money managers are masculine.

How long has this country been run by men? How far have we fallen under masculine “leadership”?

We are on a precipice where our elderly parents and our children and our children’s children are at risk-—not to mention ourselves.

This woman has more experience than the “Won” who stinks up the people’s house now. And he/she/it seems to enjoy the demise of the country. (It IS his mission.)

Mitt Romney may have the technical genitalia to be viewed as masculine, but his health”care” and soggy spine says otherwise. He’s a mayonnaise sandwich on white bread.

Tim Pawlenty reminds me of that Justin Beeber thing that seems androgynous. Huckabee loves the camera more than the “Won”. (something smells when a “man” loves the limelight, like a fifteen year old girl.)

IF Sarah runs for office, she’s up against the democrats who view her a real threat—their reasoning? Maybe they’re aware she’s experienced and intelligent.

It’s sad to think those on “our” side are neanderthals in their appreciation of leadership capabilities because of their gender biases-—something the dems will use to THEIR advantage in demonizing republicans.

When the democrats vote for Hillery (because she’s sooooo brilliant and has experience), our neanderthals will see to it that WE end up with a girly-man.....just because he has the correct genitalia. (and we’re supposed to have the smarts.)

I’m just not convicned that other Moms will view cutting off fish heads and gutting them on a table as the same as baking cookies.

My Mom (God rest her soul) did it often in our kitchen. My wife has never done it.

He is falling because he is tied to the Kaaba stone in Mecca. And by the fact that he is a Traitorous Fraud....

I bet your grandmother could take both Karl Rove and Obama with one hand tied behind her back.

I suppose in our neck of the woods we just aren't so raw. We've been civilized and don't relish dissecting fish as the equivalent to baking cookies. You probably really got off watching an interview in front of a butcher putting the head of a turkey into a cone to be decapitated. The head went in and the struggling stopped. It was truly grotesque. In her chirpy little voice she carries on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbiVoYGPHaA Maybe this year, Sarah could SHOW you how the turkey gets decapitated for your dinner table! How impressed YOU'D be with that! Wowee!

It seems like you have the idea in your head that you need women to act weak, so you can feel more powerful.

I have found that a man that is insecure about his own manhood is the only kind that sits around worrying about who's wearing the pants in the family. A man who is secure within himself, doesn't even have to think about it.

I remember when somebody criticized her for hosting a reality show. The Palin crowd shot back and acted like this was a documentary.

I was one of those who "shot back". I'll admit that the "reality" part of the show is a surprise to me, but it's a full eight episodes. There'll be plenty of documentary aspects to it, before it's all over.

The pre-release buzz had a lot of commentary about the fact that Sarah would be showing her state to the country, and that that would be the central focus of the series.

Expect for Sarah to explore the greatness of Alaska, while simultaneously making herself better known to America. The lady always exceeds expectations.

How do you think meat makes it to your table? Or do you think food comes from a grocery store?

You know, I’m just not convicned that other Moms will view cutting off fish heads and gutting them on a table as the same as baking cookies. Palin has some issues to deal with. You don’t have to ACT like a man to be taken seriously, Sarah.

Say, what? This mom and her daughters cut off fish heads and gut them on the same kitchen counter that we bake cookies. It's the same counter (ok it's the new remodeled counter top) that my grandmother cut fish heads off and gutted on. Yum, fresh fried catfish!

Hoo boy. That's gonna leave a mark.

Sarah's making him look like the prissy wuss that he is. No wonder there was a call from libs to stop this production from airing.

Watch what happens when Sarah picks up a gun and starts shooting. Libs are gonna faint dead away .. LOL
