Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter took this segment to basically dismiss Sarah Palin as a serious potential candidate, suggesting that she really hasn’t dug deep into policy because she really isn’t that interested in it. They are both tired of the ongoing ‘tease’ and compared her to Newt Gingrich, who teased for 15 years just to have lackluster support when he actually ran. Coulter adds that Palin, with the poll numbers where they are, probably shouldn’t run because she just won’t have the voter base she’d need to be a serious candidate.

Then you are in the same position as Mark Steyn, Undocumented.
We have no beef, but if I disagree with your position, I will say so. :)
Then that makes you doubly ignorant, if you don’t understand the importance of Culture,
If you have family living under Hugo, I have sympathy for you.
That should have taught you something, but apparently you learned nothing from the coup that Chavez pulled off in Venezuela.
If you are living here, would you rather have the South American culture here, or maybe you would like Sharia to be the culture?
Wow! Do you have a source for this? Did she really say that?I don’t doubt you — I’ve always thought she was stupid, but THAT stupid?
Which statement? U mean what Laura Ingraham said about Romneycare or what Ann Coulter and Laura said about Sarah Palin?
So now, you have a situation where blackmailers have been shown that is possible to chase a sitting Governor of Alaska out of office simply by filing frivolous lawsuits.
The Governorship of Alaska has thereby been fatally weakened.
Palin had two choices:
A. Stay in office and fight for a "Loser Pays" law, like Texas has, that would have made both corrupt Governors and blackmailers accountable.
B. Leave office and make $12 million in the first two years after leaving office by selling books, giving $100,000 speeches and doing Reality TV.
Palin choose B. and, outside of her very loyal followers, that simply does not fly as a noble excuse.
And what if it took her the rest of her term to make that law? What was she supposed to do, go broke fighting for a law that wouldn’t matter to her and the situation her state & family were in? Maybe the legislature wouldn’t do the “loser” pays and this was a compromise? I can understand, with the kind of entrenched corruption their passing this law instead of loser pays...the corrupt end up with all the power. They end up with the best lawyers standing in front of judges they appointed. States have to do what they think is best and she’s not the only person who makes/passes a law.

Laura on Romneycare. Sorry about that.
Its Ok :-) yeah Laura Ingraham said yesterday(And Im surprised more people are not talking about this) that Romneycare was a good idea because it created jobs..she actually said that..so apparently some in the GOP establishment are big fans of socialized medicine
Whenever Laura or Ann come on the TV, I switch channels. It’s so bad that I’d rather watch CNN than those two jealous harpies.
Those two remind me of your typical high school girls who are jealous of the popular girl..jealous that Sarah gets all the attention from the media and their guy doesn’t. Mitt Romney can show up and no one cares.. Sarah Palin shows up somewhere and you have 10 news vans covering it. Coulter and Ingraham suffer from the Jan Brady syndrome..maybe they should nominate George Glass in 2012
What’s the rush? Clinton didn’t announce till November. Frankly, I think the whole process should be shortened. As much as I like the political scene this presidential race gets so dragged out I even start tuning things out. Six months of this stuff is should be enough. My brain goes into overload.

What specifically should she have done to stay in office...if it was that easy and principled, the answer should be easy. So what is your suggestion?
I speak, read and write in 5 languages. How many do you speak?
My dad was second generation Italian-American. His dad came to America legally in 1910 from Italy. Italy's the only European nation I ever had any interest in traveling to.
My 8th great-grandfather was hung in Salem, Mass. in the 1692. His name was John Proctor. So, my ancestors have been in America long before the United States was even thought of.
That should have taught you something, but apparently you learned nothing from the coup that Chavez pulled off in Venezuela.
And how would you draw that conclusion about me? Because I think Sarah Palin should not be waiting as long as she is? Is that why you come up with these silly things about me?
The only responsibility I have to Hugo Chavez gaining and maintaining control in Venezuela is that the former President of my country, Jimmy Carter, certified the elections claiming they were legit.
My wife is Venezuelan not me and she's no fan of Chavez. Can't you read? She came to the United States and she did it legally waiting in line while others flew here from other places and over-stayed their VISAs and became illegals like our President's family did. I have good reason to be against Illegals.
As far as you telling me I'm ignorant of culture. I speak, read and write in Spanish, French and Italian and also speak the Khmer language. That's laughable to even read what you said
I'm an American traditionalist who has been to today's Vietnam and several other nations teaching American conservatism and traditions from Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and all the other special days we celebrate here and explain their meanings from an American conservative's point of view.
Accuse me of anything you want but your last accusation of me and "my ignorance of culture" is so far off base it's funny.
American, it is where I live, and I have no desire to live in a multi cultural cesspool.

Oh it was definitely the latter, an act of selflessness. However, I have so little faith in the ability of the "people" to even associate cause and effect, much less acts like patriotism and selflessness.
Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
As Winston said, "The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter"
Or why she didn't say it about Perry. Or Ryan. Ann has been a real puzzle to me over the past year. Sometimes I think the Washington-New York axis corrupts everyone in it--even those as bright as Ann. And they never really see what's happening to them because it's happening, or has happened, to everyone they socialize with too.
