Anybody know when we’ll be getting the DVD for donating $100 to SarahPAC?
The problem with your points were that Andrew Jackson didn't quit in 1825 and make fortune by doing so. Nor did he become a national celebrity by going into the entertainment business.
No, it is NOT okay to quit and make money by starring in reality shows with idiots like Kate Gosselin. That is the sort of thing that will be used by Barrack Obama and his cronies if she ever ran for President in ads that might be as devastating as the Willie Horton ads were for Michael Dukakis.
The dead stench is coming from your mouth of propaganda.
Like I said, you were too stupid to get it. Thanks for the live demo.
And I’m REEAlly impressed by calling me names.
I didn't where you were called any names except "Troll" which is completely accurate.
Cheers!
Here, take this paper bag. Place it over your nose and mouth and breathe normally. You're hyperventilating.
Obama has two auto[sic]biographies written before he even ran for President, and before he could really even be counted as a public figure.
Palin appeared on the show in the aftermath of a premeditated campaign of character assassination, and the show was likely enough to appeal to those most likely to be in sympathy with her should she decide to run for office in the future: working- and middle-class families with outdoorsy tastes. It presented her as "one of us" and "down to earth" in distinction to the carefully crafted image of her as a useless bimbo and prima donna: if anything, it did even more than that, by placing her next to a *real* prima donna in Gosselin.
And all that publicity, not only at no cost to Sarah Palin, but apparently putting money in her pocket: I have read she was paid $1 million / episode.
As far as devastating? I don't think so: she comes across as genuine, dedicated, personable, and humble, as opposed to say John "Can I get me a huntin' license here" Kerry.
Cheers!
That is all well and good. That doesn't mean she couldn't have told TLC that she didn't want to appear with an idiot like Kate Gosselin and her eight kids. That turned the whole program into ploy to get ratings by any means necessary.
Can you imagine Ronald Reagan doing something like that in the late 1970s?
And all that publicity, not only at no cost to Sarah Palin, but apparently putting money in her pocket: I have read she was paid $1 million / episode.
If her goal was making money, fine. But, don't pretend all that isn't going to be a weapon used like a sledgehammer against her if she decides to run.
FOUR NEW CITIES JULY 29!Charleston, SC; Cincinnati, OH; Columbus, OH; Salt Lake City, UTTell your friends and family!
My suggestion to you (and everyone) is to withhold judgment on Palin until after you’ve viewed The Undefeated.
Palin is going for the box office, not the critics.
And the kind who would sniff at having Gosselin on board, likely wouldn't vote for Palin anyway.
All the neutral and leaning GOP will likely blow that off.
Cheers!
All the candidates have book deals.
So what that she made the Alaska TV show during what would have been her summer vacation. That is just a small sample of what she has accomplished since she resigned.
More importantly, Palin has been leading the fight, wielding the "sledgehammer", against Obama and the Democrats over the last 18 months, in speeches, in TV appearances, on the internet, and with endorsements for candidates in the last election cycle. She also made appearances for the Arizona Illegal Immigration Bill and the Wisconsin Anti Union Bill while all the others, for example Rick Perry, ran in the other direction. I could go on.
And as far as you guessing what Palin's goal was, why are you guessing? Here's what Palin stated.
I think she has lived up to her stated goal and I'm glad she made the move.
And if she chooses to run for president, and if it turns out that all of her activity over the last two years was in preparation for a presidential run, then the Andrew Jackson parallel holds.
Book and speeches that promote ideas are not the same as a appearing in mindless reality show with a bimbo like Kate Gosselin. That borders on the absurd.
She also made appearances for the Arizona Illegal Immigration Bill and the Wisconsin Anti Union Bill while all the others, for example Rick Perry, ran in the other direction. I could go on.
Then, why did she praise and endorse Perry in 2010?
Pandering to illegals isn't any better or worse than windfall profit taxes on oil companies that slow down economic and job growth.
Good post GW.
I saw the Gosselin episode. The show clearly demonstrated that it was Sarah and her family who are the down home folks while Kate came off as a jacka$$.
People I know, who don't necessarily like Sarah, thought that show was great. And it was Kate who they were laughing at.
Book and speeches that promote ideas are not the same as a appearing in mindless reality show with a bimbo like Kate Gosselin. That borders on the absurd.
She spent half a day on family camping trip with Kate. Kate didn't even participate in any of the activities. In fact Kate had to leave and the last scenes showed the Palins making fun of Kate. With all the things Palin has done over the last two years, your obsession with that half day of Palin's life is beyond absurd. It's pathetic.
Then, why did she praise and endorse Perry in 2010?
Because Perry was better than KBH. You don't think that he is??
Pandering to illegals isn't any better or worse than windfall profit taxes on oil companies that slow down economic and job growth.
Actually pandering to illegals is worse than a 2% increase in an oil production tax on ones own resource, and BTW, the tax had no effect on oil production. Oil production in Alaska has been gradually trending down through tax increase and through tax decreases.
You just illustrated my point despite yourself.
Reagan was constantly villified and belittled as a "B" grade actor (Death Valley Days, Bedtime for Bonzo) even though it'd been more than a decade since he had filmed them.
So the attacks have and will and do go further back in the past than just ("late-70s to 1980") or the equivalent for Palin.
But -- despite the ubiquity of the attacks -- they rolled off.
People wanted America to succeed after Carter: and when Reagan's policies worked, the people said, "BFD!" to the affected criticism.
Cheers!

But, he appeared in those movies BEFORE he got into politics. He would have, justifiably, been viewed as a joke of candidate if he had been doing that in the 1970s before running for President.

Palin: Uninspiring Tax Policy Record
Posted by Chris Edwards
On tax policy, Alaska governor Sarah Palin has a rather uninspiring, albeit brief, record. The following is some information gleaned from State Tax Notes.
Palin supported and signed into law a $1.5 billion tax increase on oil companies in the form of higher severance taxes. One rule of thumb is that higher taxes cause less investment. Sure enough, State Tax Notes reported (January 7): “After ACES was passed, ConocoPhillips, Alaska’s most active oil exploration company and one of the top three producers, announced it was canceling plans to build a diesel fuel refinery at the Kuparuk oil field. ConocoPhillips blamed the cancellation on passage of ACES [the new tax]. The refinery would have allowed the company to produce low-sulfur diesel fuel onsite for its vehicles and other uses on the North Slope, rather than haul the fuel there from existing refineries.”
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2011/01/07/could_oil_tax_hike_come_back_to_bite_palin.html
"Alaska was in the mid range of oil tax regimes for competitiveness under the Murkowski Administration, but enacted the highest marginal tax rate in the world under Palin," Murkowski wrote. "Alaskans simply cannot compete with the Gulf of Mexico for oil and gas exploration and development capital by imposing a tax that is twice the amount charged there."
If anyone other than Palin had implemented this tax, you'd be all over him or her like white on rice.
She's savvy enough to do both. In politics, you have to be seen as likeable: and the target for Sarah Palin's Alaska was a demographic group likely to be favorable to her during as 2012 Presidential run.
And, it didn't hurt that it was *positive* publicity where she controlled the message rather than being hit with set-up questions, lied about, and misquoted.
Nor did it hurt that she was smart enough to arrange to be PAID *FOR* the publicity, rather than expend scarce cash to pay someone else for it.
So she got paid for editorial control for a message presenting her in a favorable life.
Just another day in the life of Our Lady of The Tundra, She of the Immaculate ConventionTM.
Then, why did she praise and endorse Perry FOR GOVERNOR in 2010?
Asked and answered.
Cheers!
