Is this a paid appearance?

And if so....

WHY

?

I like listening to Sarah Palin talk.

I also can't help slowing down for a peek at a road wreck.

Para Salin's BAAAACCCKKKK!!

GOP is so inclusive, accepting Sarah Failin' into the fold...so that lipsticked wild boar having a place to call home. Charities do perform magics.

She'll be around for years, like Harold Stassen.

I want to see Sarah Palin come to down spinning around a shiney pole. I promise to bring lots of 5's.........

She wants to prove that a person lacking the intellect of a cherry stone clam can still get elected as Governor of a U.S. State, and come within a few million votes of being one heart beat away from the Presidency.

America! What a country!!

Who cares what she has to say...they said it all when they picked NO next to her name.

Umm.. was that Lindsey Lohan? Can someone please tell me that Americans haven't sunk t this. The sad part is she is a multi-millionaire. Hey Sarah, Africa is a continent not a contry.

Gosh Darnit, leave Americas kookhead alone. She is one of a kind.

Wikileaks has posted a copy of her speech online!

But I couldn't get past the title of the speech:

"Hi, I'm Sarah Palin, And You Can, Too!"

To know what Palin wants is like to know what God wants. I don't see anyone here that has any clue as to what God wants. Neither do they even know what Palin wants.

She is laughing at you (her supprters) all the way to the bank.

Better question:

Who cares?

Sarah Hot Mess

What does Palin want?

Uh...er...a prefrontal cortex?

Why are there no commensurate players like Palin, Bachmann, Cruz, et. al. in the Democratic Party?

To have a "message" one must have a brain. She has neither.

Truth Conveyor, after being cashiered at Fox News, where are these millions coming from?

Peek-A-Boo, looks like all the Nuts are coming out from the Rightwing of the GOP, this is getting crazy "Wink Wink" !!!

Mark from Lake Tahoe -- Not as big a wedgie as this....

OBAMA BEAT PAILN IN 2008!

OBAMA BEAT ROMNEY IN 2012!

There, good lock getting your tighty-whities out of your trachea...

She wants to prove that a person lacking the intellect of a cherry stone clam can still get elected as Governor of a U.S. State, and come within a few million votes of being one heart beat away from the Presidency.

She has already proven those things but if she had entered the primaries last year she would have drawn roughly the same numbers as Bachmann and Michelle usually was in the single digits. Even most Repubs know she is a bit deranged.

If this is what conservatives want representing them in public they are doomed. What will she say? Expect the same old slanderfest. She will viciously attack Obama and claim liberals are a subversive force, attacking "American values"! And that we are running Jesus out of the public square where he is supposed to be hanging out even though there hasn't been a sighting in nearly 2000 years. Basically a rehash of Ricky's speech. But I suppose she will have to talk about the imaginary war on Christmas because that's what her new pop-up book is all about ignoring the fact that Christians appropriated the date of Jesus' supposed birth from us pagans. And that the birth story (like the rest) is clearly a concoction.

The values she represents are so flawed no rational person will listen. But she should still get massive applause from this crowd. Just look at the diversity! This is the America of the future (gag!)! Aren't we all white, ultra conservative, Bible thumping fundamentalist Christians who find theocratic fascism appealing? You betcha we are! In Sarah's mind if you aren't that you aren't an American. How much more warped can someones thinking get?

Go to YouTube and enter "Sarah Palin's church". Watch and listen to the video of her in the black dress and pilgrim shoes. Isn't this the annoying lady many of us knew at church or school who had to dominate everything and who was totally intolerant of others? That's because she's just a better person, a better Christian, a better American, than you and me! She is the living embodiment of Dana Carvey's Church Lady times two! We are the damned who will be roasting in a lake of fire while she will be living in the biggest mansion on Main St. in Heaven. And she's da-n sure of that, you BETCHA!

I saw her live back in '08. It was like watching Mussolini in jeans and a sweater. Poking her finger all over the place and swaying over the podium. I expect a repeat tomorrow only she will be wearing something more formal. Again, I betcha!

Seems to me that the first step to insanity is thinking you are sane.

The first step to being a fool is thinking you are smart.

You know, they say that there is a very fine line between pathos and humor. Since I don't know whether to laugh or cry...it must be true.

Well, I can just imagine Failin' Palin getting up to the podium and singing Ray Bolger's "IF I only had a BRAIN!" song from the Wizard of OZ. WHY they chose "The biggest LOSER" to address their convocation speaks volumes of the "value" of that gathering.

Oh well, I'll gather up the tidbits of info AFTER her Lowness babbles incessantly...

I remember in 2008, the majority of my white buddies said they were voting for McCain because Palin was hot!!!

I lost respect for them and really couldn't stop laughing!!!! You're voting for McCain because the idiot Palin is hot!!

LOL!!!

How do they all fit inside that tiny little car?

I can't believe no one said it. Even Sarah Palin doesn't know what her message is.

She's such an ass, I wanna see a turd roll out of her mouth when she starts talking!! I'd call her a loser except she's figured out a way to rake in the bucks through sarahpac for doing absolutley nothing to earn it!! She couldn't even finish her governers term in full. What a Poopy Head!!

To Senator John McCain:

Do you see what you've wrought, Johnny?

YOU'RE the one who dredged up this bizarre woman in the first place. And, inexplicably, YOU thought she was worthy of being elected Vice President. Then you discovered - a bit late in the game - that even YOU couldn't deal with her.

Do you still support Mrs. Palin now? Come on, step up and let us know.

(We'll never forgive you for this, Johnny.)

A 37 minute Sarah Palin speech is like 16 hours in real human time.

Crystal-569996

(Sung in Barbra Streisand's voice:)

Sheeple,

Sheeple who need sheeple,

Are the Palin-est sheeple,

Innnnn the worrrrld.

Next week's headline: "Sarah Palin's message a mystery after giving address at CPAC"

I'm very glad the old liberal media is so concerned about what Sarah will or will not do! That means she still has the ability to give the libbies a 'wedgie' and that pleases me to no end!

Be that as it may. She is still a poison pill to anyone she endorses, or mentions in any positive fashion.

She brings a whole new meaning to the word daft. You don't even need a party affiliation to see that either.

"She'll be around for years, like Harold Stassen."

Or a bad case of herpes.

I believe that Sarah should remain....a mystery! LOL!!

She wants money. It's all about taking candy from the babies (baggers). They don't even get it.

see 1.48

The only mystery is why people continue to listen to this clueless dingbat.

What does Sarah want? Uh...what did the Scarecrow want? A brain? Tinman a heart? But yeah, for sure...Sarah wants a brain. Oops! There's only one brain for every 15.5 republicans. Sorry Sarah. Maybe next time you'll,,,oh, forget it.

What does Palin want? Easy -- money and attention. But -- she very near the end of her gig and she knows it. Fox fired her. Her reality shows have flopped. She will soon be as forgotten as Dan Quayle.

Some people say she's stupid. She's not stupid. She knows how to use stupid people to make herself rich.

I think she's hoping to recover her period. Maybe have another baby. Name it "Trog" or "Troggy Jane".

Course getting a good humping for a substantive amount of money wouldn't hurt Her feelings either.

Palin's career ended the day the media found out she used to date a black athlete. She packed up and left the tour the next day. Teabaggers and righties were non stop being racists to President Obama and she realized that they would not accept this.

Couldn't name a book she read.....as bad as Bush was...at least he tried reading "My Pet Goat."...Unfortunatly for him....He tried to escape the reality of the nation being under attack by escaping into the book with children.....Typical republicons!

Uh, Truthconveyor (yeah, in your most humid dreams), I'm well into 4 figures in federal taxes. Which means I was paying for any Secret Service protection this pinhead was getting. Rich? Got any documentation of that? Tax returns? Audited financials? Ms. Palin had an enviable income at one point. She also had one helluva lotta outgo! At one point, she made money from books and speeches bought by clones (or, is it clowns) like YOU!!

sarah & her followers i read on this post are very similar - they stoke hatred for the sake of hatred, instead of finding common ground and being 'on the same side' of being a country and moving forward together...like we used to up thru reagan and towards the end of clinton's run. how sad. speaking as an independent i will reject their pablum/doctrine once again and vote democratic, as i have for the past two hate-filled elections, since that side had the best candidate. sure, the democratic politicians are also rich & out of my 'circle', but at least they keep their 'stupid' statements to a minimum.

It's not a mystery at all, it's just that reasonable people who follow politics don't care about the inanity of the current republican party. But, if translated for the right wingers who still ascribe to this brand political senselessness, maybe what former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld once said could apply to this mystery;

"There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know."

Republican punditry (an oxymoron) summed up in a nutshell!

All she wants is some limelight and THAT makes her no different from Hillarity Clinton - 'cept Sarah's better looking.

"She has earned every cent"

• Yes -- she has earned her money. She's very good at convincing very stupid people to give her money.

ORB 1943

All she wants is some limelight and THAT makes her no different from Hillarity Clinton - 'cept Sarah's better looking.

Right :/

If looks are all that fits for Sarah in your brand of politics with the ugliness of your remark, maybe her greatest and only qualification would be to star in the next run of "Real Housewives..." The woman couldn't think her way out of a burning phone booth without the help of her aides.

Forget the presidency.Forget the moose. I'd just like to get out in the bush's with her.

talk about palin, lib posters are happy, celebrating the ticking like a time bomb soon will be 17 trillion debt billboard. obama's remedy is for congress to give him blank checks for his spendings, to pay the debt, with such a remedy, any moron can be a president.

Obama is now officially a lame duck

@Truth Conveyor (define truth?)

Please tell us what is a low information voter, because most of them exist within the republican throngs ? I am only going to guess what you mean by the "non accountable" part and what that alludes to, but most of that group comes from red states who get the most assistance from government, which I have no problem with giving assistance. If you want to call a certain group of people "stupid" in the context of how you think this group votes, just look up Youtube rallies for Sarah where real journalists ask the throngs of unknowing ignorant followers why they don't like Obama, and the answers all but some up the republican party; it's about "hate".

I've been voting for 34 years and I have found one thing in common for the republican party starting with Reagan; they run on conservative values of less government and freedoms for everyone, with claims staying out of the private lives of people and controlling government spending. But when they get into office, they do the exact opposite except staying out of the way of the wealthy and their livelihoods. They spend like crazy, while implementing harsh intrusive social laws based on a 2000 year old religious theme.

Frankly, I don't listen to adults who allow their teenage daughters to have sex with an adult, then force us to accept it. How old was her daughter when she was impregnated by that guy?

Would you listen to a pedophile supporter?

Hummmmmmmmmm . Sarah Palin ...before CPAC .......... "A Mental Midget with a Epiphany"

Palin is washed up, especially in her home state. No one wants to admit they ever voted for her back in '06. All 115,000 of them. Her voice is still just as irritating as it always has been- starting back in her days as a "sports reporter". She sucked at that too. She was the reason many of us started watching other channels. If her PAC supporters haven't figured out they are merely helping to provide her a living with their contributions, they deserve what they get. The numbers- as reported in this article- proves she is only interested in getting as much money as she can without putting the majority of it into the elections, but instead paying for her "expenses".

Absolutely hilarious!!! Our kind and gentle brethren on the left who wouldn't bend a blade of rare grass or harm a mass murderer are more than willing to rip into and smear someone they simply disagree with. I love it!! You little girls are so hilarious I may just be able to sleep with a smile on my face tonight...'night ladies:)

Capt, wait, I got another!

Let's hope the second appearance of Sar-uhh Palin at the CPAC turns out better than her first did. It had to be canceled as the result of an innocent misunderstanding.

The organizers sent her the following letter:
"Dear Sarah:
"We would be honored to have you give a rousing message to all in attendance at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
"Yours Truly,
"CPAC Coordinating Committe,
"Law Offices of Dewey, Cheatem, & Howe."

The day she was to speak, Sar-uhh showed up at the hall. She immediately looked amazed by the number of attendees, as did her handlers when they noticed she wore only a cotton robe and carried a large bottle of scented oil.

When asked about her attire, Sar-uhh replied: "I wisht I woulda known so many folks were comin' fer a massage; I'da brought more lotion, you betcha!"

Who cares? Palin is only good for one thing, and it doesn't involve talking... o_0

Wow so why is it that you left wing loony bins get all worked up about Palin speaking? You say she is washed up yet you give this so much play time, not sure I get it... So she is a beautiful woman, has a head on her shoulders, has an opinion and yes she isn't ever going to win any elections. That is beside the point.... is it that no female can prosper outside your left wing brainwashed party? I really just don't get why you are all so dedicated to ridiculing someone who by your own words is washed up... jealousy or scared I suppose, definitely insecure. I suppose you would rather bow beneath your little bull dog the Presidents fall guy err uhhh gal Rice?

Stop Funding Illegals

To be fair, it's Ms. Palin's "accomplishments" that earn her the derision she invites and so richly deserves.

Besides, not poking fun at Sar-uhh is like not laughing at The Three Stooges -- virtually impossible to do.

Possibly I buy that for about 5% of the commenting populious but beyond that amount 95% of these posters would fair far worse than Palin under an onslaught of an opposite party agenda bias media. I would doubt many or any would put their families through the gauntlet of a biased press corp for the golden parachute of a political life. Aside from that Obama has so many losers in his cabinet that far outdo Palin in the terms of Stooges (Holder, Pelosi, the long lost Weiner).

"Her first CPAC speech, in 2012, was full of red meat for the Tea Party followers she cultivated, particularly during the health care reform battle and election of 2010. She spent much of her 37-minute speech extolling the conservative movement and attacking President Barack Obama, earning cheers of “Sar-ah! Sar-ah!” at points during the speech.

But now that Obama’s won a second four-year term, it’s unclear whether Palin might dig in and further oppose the president, or re-position herself for future relevance within the Republican Party."

Relevance? Yawn. Even FoxNews dumped this half-term has been after her 15-minutes had long run out. There isn't enough lipstick in the world to make this pig "relevant." You can't create substance from a vacuum.

@ stop funding illegals: AT THIS POINT! ..... ANY republican HAS whats coming to em. You idiots threw your shame and honor out the "F"ing window DAY ONE of Obama. Republicans can ALL go to hell for the dysfunction and political waste we've witnessed these years. "F" every one of ya.

Sarah Palyin' -

Says it all in a(n empty) nutshell (aka her head)

Stop Funding Illegals;

Wow so why is it that you left wing loony bins get all worked up about Palin speaking? You say she is washed up yet you give this so much play time, not sure I get it...

Yet, here you are worrying about us so called "left wing looony bins", go figure!

So she is a beautiful woman,

So? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and has little to do with smarts in the context of your remark. I think that Kirstin Gillibrand is attractive, but I would vote for her on her intelligence and her ethics, not on her looks.

has a head on her shoulders,

Everyone walking human being has one, so what?;

has an opinion and yes she isn't ever going to win any elections. That is beside the point.... is it that no female can prosper outside your left wing brainwashed party?

But that is the point; she will never win elections based on the choices she made, the words she has spoken and rightfully so that she didn't win based on that. Her opinions consist only of talking points and banal cliched values, nothing regarding real policies or ideas that would farther our great country. Yet while you make that claim about women inside our politics, the women that represent the vast majority of those in congress, are democrats, so how does that measure up with your claims. Think misogyny when you think contemporary republicanism.

Fortunately, there are more critically thinking people in this country than there are right wing sheep. If that means I am a liberal (or part of a left wing brainwashed party), I will wear that title with honors. Keep in mind, she was mostly responsible for McCain losing the presidency and she walked away from being governor of Alaska, after that loss, only 18 months after taking that state office, because she felt too many of her political enemies were after her paranoid mind. If she gave up that position so readily on such simplistic reasoning, why would you want her to be second in line to the most powerful position in our government? Are you sure who is really brain washed?

I really just don't get why you are all so dedicated to ridiculing someone who by your own words is washed up... jealousy or scared I suppose, definitely insecure. I suppose you would rather bow beneath your little bull dog the Presidents fall guy err uhhh gal Rice?

Yet you just said she was washed up, and she is. The most unethical lying network on TV fired her for her inability to make sense or proffer real ideas. Gobbledygook can only go so far, even there. At least our president is well spoken, has great ideas and can articulate them in detail. Name one republican that has done that in the last 8 years other than appealing to the lowest level/information voters in this country. If your brand of politics are so great, this last election, even with all of the republican election shenanigans, sure gave us all a different result.

She can write a 37 minute speech in the palms of her hands???

PUTZ

Following the guidance of John Benefiel, the head of the Heartland Apostolic Reformation Network and one of the official endorsers of Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s The Response prayer rally, I have had a psychic pre-vision of her speech:

"Wanna eat some moose meat? You betcha!!"

Wowzers!! $5,000,000 minus $306,000 equals $4,694,000. Over $4.5 million? That must be some operation! I can't help but wonder how the conservatives feel about their donations going to......????? Kinda reminds me of taxpayer funded multi-million dollar socialized corporate performance bonuses for executives who tanked their businesses and the trashed the economy! After all, they were "top talent." And to think, Sarah and her party like to trash the 47%.

Stop Funding Illegals:

Tommy: yep yet here I am... glad I got your attention, it's a bit sad that you left wing brainwashed can't focus on what is in front of you but instead focus on an insignificant issue called Palin, no seriously, your Prez has serious issues you should be schooling yourself up on so you could cast a relevant vote next time so stop worrying about Palin and think about who will dig us out of this ditch in four more.

What's in front of me, I want to know, because you haven't offered anything? It's really an interesting rationalization that Palin is insignificant to you, considering that within that same breath how much you praise her. Are you really not following your own words, or is that a condition of being a right winger?

If by getting my attention means you made some valid point, you failed terribly! Like nearly all republicans who get there support from the lowest information voters in this country, they offer no real ideas, just like you did right here. You can't give one real policy change, other than bleating the same McConnell, Ryan, Paul ideas that are not realistic solutions as much as simplistic policies without detail of their consequences. You just express disdain to certain politics that don't fit the right wing talking points to which you ascribe.

Actually Tommy I don't need to convince you of anything, your doing fine living in your fantasy world. You have it all figured out, you got me pegged as a conservative (wrong, Libertarian) but hey that's ok it's your world, I'm just trying to live in it, you make it out any way you want to. I have learned that people like you are ideologically closed minded so why bother trying to get someone to understand where they may be wrong. I'd rather save my thought for someone who has some hope.

So I praised Palin? Really.... damn that was praise... she's pretty and has a brain??? I think you just come very quickly to a conclusion and got it all figured out. Maybe you should hang out with Rodman and Kim Jong Il... they have the same condition.

And why is this news?

@Stop Funding Illegals:

Define Libertarianism, and no, taking it out of some online encyclopedia doesn't count, I want your own words on it. In your libertarianism, do you support marriage equality?

Tommy I don't support or deny anyone's ability or right to do just about anything within reason, it's not for me but hey to each their own, it's the least of my issues. I said less government didn't I. Live and let live... I side left on some and right on others but with this administration I find very few if anything to side with their liars, opaque and two faced. Stop the war on drugs maybe but they can't even decide what side of that they are on. Pro 2nd amendmant, pro-choice.... would the right have been better? Well let's just say it could not have been worse, were asking for accountability here... they got elected now do the fu#$in job. A libertarian is for less government intrusion into peoples lives, do the will of the people, stop making senseless laws and most of all take senseless laws off the books. Mayor Bloomberg and his soda and Mrs. Einstein Feinstein is another perfect example of a talking head without a clue.

You just said do the will of the people, and the electorate spoke in huge numbers. That, in spite of the fact that election shenanigans were attempted to change that outcome. The majority of people disagree with you and not on personal liberties. So, again, your position is unclear. You say "anything within reason", yet, there is no clarification on that and you seem to want to limit those who don't ascribe to your reasoning. What is anything within reason?? You can't make claim to rights that somehow are infringed though they are those you ascribe to that you would infringe onto others.

I've learned one main theme from today's libertarianism and conservatism. Libertarianism and conservatism have never been what libertarians and conservatives say they are. In the end, they want others to live the way they want.

... re-position herself for future relevance within the Republican Party.

Which is like aspiring to become the very tallest pygmy in the whole tribe.

I've learned one main theme from today's libertarianism and conservatism. Libertarianism and conservatism have never been what libertarians and conservatives say they are. In the end, they want others to live the way they want.

So they are just like liberals?

@Honestdeabte: Please define "liberal" and you may want to re-think your screen name, because it isn't honest.

For me, being liberal is leaving the lives of people to themselves without biased interference/or a majority of people making preferences that allow lawmakers to be able (or have confidence) to hold a few, or an individual, to a lower level of rights to those who disagree with them. Like holding down homosexuals from having the same civil rights that I have as a straight person. But when we use 2nd amendment rights, that in today's time frame, have consistently violated one's right to a safe life (don't twist this term of right to life into another topic, you'll fail miserably) because the amendment was written at a time when technology wasn't what it is today, then we become a uncompromising society based on some personal liberty that supersedes human life in the name of liberty.

SarahPac raised 5 MILLION dollars and only gave away 300 grand??? Only supported Romney with $5000. WOW, sounds like SarahPac is her source of income. If you are running a business and have 4.7 million to play with and only spend 300,000, your doing pretty good. What kind of expenses? Seriously? Someone needs to check up on this.....IRS.....FBI....

Perhaps that is what she is going to speak about....give everyone a rundown on her expenses and show how transparent SarahPac can be. After all, she was going to make sure the government was "more transparent" if she'd of made it to VP. Some things are just not meant to be. Thank God!

Truth conveyer:

"She is rich and I know that bothers you. She has earned every cent and you are lucky she contributes to your portion of the 47%. Sorry, but she is better than you in every way. Rich, happy family, smart, good looking and successful. Living the American dream!!!"

And this is the party that walks with Christ? The depth of ignorance and hypocrisy is astonishing.

Although I admit it is fun to watch republicans fail to learn from their mistakes and publicly cut their own throats at CPAC by giving Palin a high profile slot. Evidently nobody listened to Bobby Jindal.

For me, being liberal is leaving the lives of people to themselves without biased interference/or a majority of people making preferences that allow lawmakers to be able (or have confidence) to hold a few, or an individual, to a lower level of rights to those who disagree with them.

Yea exactly what you had said previously, the concept of being a liberal is not how liberals are. Todyas liberals are control freaks who want everyone to live the way they deem fit. Stop pretending it is anything different, blaming everyone but liberals for exactly what liberals do.

You agree with gay-marriage, so it is good and just, you don't like guns so 2nd amendment bad. You sir are a hypocrite

What does she want?

To improve her failing relevance.

To make some more money.

To get attention.

How? Vial one liners. Repeat.

And the above are more words than she deserves.

bimbo hero and true zero...

To know what Palin wants is like to know what God wants. I don't see anyone here that has any clue as to what God wants. Neither do they even know what Palin wants.

D.B. Akron - here's a clue. Nobody really cares what Palin wants. Her political star reached its apogee 5 years ago, when she was chosen as the Vice Presidential candidate for the Republican Party. If she wasn't a strikingly attractive woman she'd have been forgotten 4 years ago.

But her ambitions are hardly as difficult to divine as those of God. She's just an attention junkie who is trying to get back into the lime light.

Truth Converyer...what is the American dream anyway??? I'm close to 50. Been through both parties turns in the Whitehouse. Not seeing any of mine coming true. Work two full time jobs and never received a penny in aid-before you throw that BS in there. This isn't what I "dreamed". Not even a little.

As far as Palin goes, you should start thinking with your other head. She is an idiot.

brenda1964

And why is this news?

So the Liberals have something to complain about, They never talk about real issues!!

What does Sarah Palin want......."Oh if I only had a brain."

OK, what she really wants is a lot more money for very little work.

What does Sarah Palin want......."Oh if I only had a brain."

OK, what she really wants is a lot more money for very little work.

So let me get this straight, Palin is the dumb one because she makes a lot of money for "very little work"????

You do realize she remains relevant because of people like all you libs that hate her right? Ever heard "Any press is good press?"When her name is the headline, everyone one of you visceral libs comes out and spend hours of your sad lives attacking her, giving her the attention she wants.

So who is the real loser, the manipulator, or the manipulated...lol sad sad libs.

What mystery?

Palin wants what ALL Republicans want: MONEY and POWER.

I would like her to shut her mouth and open her mind.

There really is no defense for her. Republicans would bash her too...but they never admit it when they're wrong. It's some kind of GOP policy.

...but they never admit it when they're wrong. It's some kind of GOP policy.

I guess liberals are rubbing off on them then.

dman, having the intellect of a clam is far superior to that of a little pebble, like yours.

cunniefuxin...ye ain't nothing but a palin acting betch...

Sarah Palin must be working for the Democratic Party because I can't think of anything more damaging to the GOP than her her running for office in 2016.

constance, go away

Dear Sarah,

Please go away. Please. As far as I'm concerned, you are the sole reason that BO is in the white house right now. Don't you think you've caused enough embarrassment to the Republican Party? Especially to those of us that were naive enough to support you in the first place? I still bear the burden of shame on that one. You made us a laughing stock that we're still trying to recover from. Go away Sarah.

Rumors that Palin can see Russia from her home in Alaska, this is just unconscionable !!!

Truth Conveyer Comment collapsed by the community

I never really got why the left felt so threatened by Palin. I do not get where all the vitriol comes from.

Who is threatened by that bimbo? Personally, I'm a lot more frightened by Palin's supporters.

It's easy to see what she has gained by her foray into politics, but what do her supporters stand to gain? They're throwing away their hard-earned money for absolutely nothing.

Anyone who is sane, honest, and of at least normal intelligence has to admit that Palin never had the chops to be dogcatcher of Wasilla, Alaska, let alone Vice President of the United States of America.

I will be forever thankful that enough Americans saw through her and the old Maverick in 2008 and denied them the chance to destroy our country with their incompetence.

Sarah Palin has more smarts, integrity, common sense, and charisma in her little pinky than Barry O'blunder has in his extremely large ears attached to that even larger ego...... go play basketball all day Barry, you'll cause less harm that way and the country will be better off!

Palin's message a mystery as she prepares to address CPAC

Palin's message a Mystery?.........That is about the best example of an Oxymoron I have seen! An actual verbal paradox if you will.

Yes -- she has earned her money. She's very good at convincing very stupid people to give her money.

You must be referring to obummer and mooshell.... they've convinced millions of idiots that the free stuff the government is giving out to the takers (47%ers).... will go on forever! You poor poor fools! By the time you wake up and open your eyes, it will be too late!

Damn people, she has a right to her views just as you and me but I see people like to jump on anyone they can, what a joke you people are!!!

You can disagree but why all the NAME CALLING???

Personally what has she done to you??? NOTHING

This story like most all shows that people want to slam any and all the people they can because they CAN!!!!!

Lets just pick a family member, daughter/son, of anyone here who has been picked on by others just because they can, is that right? You as the mother or father would be outraged!! Bullying is what you would say right? Would you as a mother think it was funny? But I see a lot of people here think it is truly funny!!

There's no mystery. She has no message and never has had a message. Just ignorant babble.

I hope she gets out there and campaigns like a trouper for the next GOP hopeful. They all just love it when she tags along and boosts their chances of winning. She's like a big giant pimple on the @$$ of the Republican/TParty.

Can you believe all this (100 + comments) in response to just the first comment?

The Ice Princess, the Wasillabilly makes word-salad whereever she goes!

I never really got why the left felt so threatened by Palin

It is simple. If McCain won, she would have become President because there is no way he could have handled the stress of the office. The "left" loves this country and the thought of putting Palin in charge when she couldn't even run a city of 15,000 efficiently, couldn't name one news source she read and thought she was a foreign policy expert because Alaska is near Russia was a legitimate threat to our country. Anyone on the "right" who thinks her presidency would have been anything but a disaster is deluded.

The reason she is there is because the left cannot stand her being a woman who was nominated to run as vice president, who was not an ingnorant, always right, lefty heart bleeding liberal, who thinks killing children is ok, gay rights, peta loving, save the forest, make love to a whale, gun fearing, freedom hating, non believer, who would spit on the flag before saluting it, lefty nothing who has nothing better to do than try and bully women who do not fit their mold. Oops I forgot peace, love and understanding bullies. That is why she is there.

She is not dumb at all, she is laughing all the way to the bank; lots of politicians open their mouths and say nothing and a lot of them don't have a clue. Name calling is unnecessary, she is who she is.

So I am wondering which one of these pro-palin posters is Sarah, remember she has the habit of sending fan mail to herself and writing pro-palin editorials in the newspaper and online while pretending to be someone else. I'm thinking truth-conveyor is her, "her" posts are just gushing with love for Sarah.

As far as Sarah earning every dime, that is a complete joke, she cooked the books in Alaska, she lined her pockets with oil industry lobbyist money, then when she QUIT the governors job she drove around in a big bus with her face plastered on the side taking money from people under the pretence that she was going to run for president, which she never did, and she just kept the money. Her Pac took in $5 million in 2012 under false pretences and only handed out $160,000 dollars, the woman belongs in prison, along with most of the other crooks who were invited to CPAC.

POP CULTURE......national politics is Hollywood for Lawyers. Doesn't matter who it is. They are there for themselves. Become a rock star politician...get a BJ in the Oval office...cool. Be a tall, attractive, articulate black man who circumvents the constitution everyday......Osama Osama Osama! Be in charge of the worst foreign policy office/State Department since LBJ, leave 4 of your employees for days in a struggle to live, let them die and then say its not my fault and what difference does it make....become the future American rock star. Be a former regional rock star with the looks of Hollywood, talk about your dysfunctional family and big game hunting......Stir the east coast bloggers into a frizzy. Ronald Reagan left Hollywood for Washington........not the other way around. POP Culture.

if she is so non effective like you guys say, then why, do you raise such hell, when she shows up somewhere to speak hell she is not even running for any office. too funny. the bad name calling tasteless commits only prove that she is no better than you are. the difference is she is getting paid for her opinion and you guys are not . how is THAT working for you? jealous maybe?

Irvmani, the right is who kills children by killing food stamps, by killing WIC, by killing the school lunch program. The left just aborts dividing clumps of cells. We actually care about the children once they are born where as the right treats them like slaves by doing away with the child labor laws here in the states and by supporting sweat shops around the world. Conservatives could care less about "the children" other than how much they can profit off their cheap labor, you destroy more viable embryos on the floors of invitro clinics in one month in your twisted attempt to pop out dozens of kids to increase your numbers than are killed in a years worth of abortions.

Conservatives try to make fun of Liberals by calling them treehuggers and nature lovers while you worship all that is plastic, polluting, toxic and evil. If it is harmful for the environment or the health of humans and the other creatures on the planet conservatives worship it like it is a gift from their imaginary god.

Your patriotism is as plastic as most of the conservative bimbos who fill the mega churches every sunday in a vain attempt to justify their greed and selfishness. You drive around in your foriegn made cars with your made in China plastic flag decals on the back and think that makes you patriotic. You have perverted the true meaning of the word patriotism, you don't love this country and you never have, you only love the profit you can make by using our army to plunder the worlds natural resources in the name of spreading democracy, you only love the corporate theocracy that you dream of turning America into. Most of the conservative mouth pieces who claim to be uber-patriots like Limbaugh, ORiley and Nugent all dodged the draft while my uncles fought and died in Vietnam. Nugent, mr. patriotic himself, wore a dirty diaper for two weeks to get out of going to Nam, while my uncles, both liberals, volunteered and took the most dangerous jobs available.

People like you and Sarah make me sick, you are everything that is wrong with this nation.

Old John McCane farts out crazy bimbo turns into embarrassment for party, McCane says this was the biggest mistake of his political career and a gamble that cost him the election !!!

Tommy, The reason I would say "they believe in freedoms within reason" from a libertarian point of view is due to the extremist views of the left and constantly taking things out of context and twisting them to their own likings. Let's give you an example or two. I believe in legalizing drugs, well if I say that and leave it at that, you would jump to the conclusion I mean all drugs, meth, heroine, acid you name it, not what I mean there are limits. I believe in the right to bear arms, and that pretty much means about any arms, this is where the government is overstepping it's boundaries, to limit the rights and abilities of a free people who have done no wrong is in itself criminal. The government isn't good at anything they try and do, good intentions do not make good law. For instance the background checks. Illinois requires a FOID card (involves a background check). In order to own a gun you must have one, renewable every ten years. They simply drag their feet and disobey their law of a thirty day turn around on your renewal background check and you are instantly a felon owning guns illegally. So you think we should trust them to do this nationally? One day they simply decide not to process these for any reason and every gun owner is the disobeying the law and considered a felon. The government can't be trusted to make laws that don't have an alternative motive, as they always have an underlying agenda. Trust Obama to drone only terrorists... who decides who a terrorist is? Just a little law here and a bigger law later to further reduce your rights and it is a slippery slope. Holder gives guns away to drug cartels and then goes after law abiding citizens guns rights, seriously how hypocrytical and were suppose to trust them? They let our people die in Benghazi and then don't come clean on the fact that they screwed up, no accountability, and were suppose to trust them? Obama twists this sequestor into sounding like the government is giving some big chunk of existing revenue up when in fact it is a decrease in a raise in spending. Then goes on to preach how it will decimate teachers, firefighters and about every other municipal funded group (not federally funded). These are outright lies to scare the public into siding with them and blowing an issue way out of proportion just to get his way. Seriously they couldn't cut anything out of trillions in spending? They have a crack addiction to our hard earned money. To give away free healthcare to a family of four earning $90K a year while if someone works hard to get a raise and makes a thousand over that they pay their $800 or so through their employer funded healthcare, what an incentive to go out and work, all this while federal and state employees have golden parachute plans and aren't subject to layoff, their employment factors for wages and benefits are so out of control it isn't even funny, yet we the people have to just keep paying more so they don't suffer but we do. So you like this administration hugh...

She spent much of her 37-minute speech extolling the conservative movement and attacking President Barack Obama, earning cheers of “Sar-ah! Sar-ah!” at points during the speech.

And therein lies the problem. Maybe if she had spent less time attacking Obama and more time giving us reasons that she should have been nominated, she might have done a lot better.

All she did was critisize and never offered anything to fix the problems. That's all she does is critisize everyone. She has no solutions.

Brenda so I take it you think Obama is a worthless POS correct? He hasn't offered any solutions either, your madras's media though would have you think so. no budget in five years, doesn't even scratch the surface of the anointed ones long list of fail.

Not sure what planet or reality you live on, but I like to call where I live "Earth". In this reality, President Obama has definitely made allot of changes. I can name a few here, but there are hundreds more all you have to do is use a keyboard and a computer and there are lists of all he has done.

1. Repealed the don't ask don't tell peace of cr&p legislation.

2. Homosexuals can now openly join the military and fight for the Country they so love.

3. Completely changed the health care system for the better.

4. Turned the economy around, stock market has never been better. Housing prices are going back to normal. Employment rate has dropped to below when he took office in spite of the GOP trying to keep it high.

and so on and so on. What has Sarah P. done for this country, but grip about everything in her folksy jargon trying to sound cute, but never actually coming up with solutions of her own. Even fox news fired her. Why the Republicans immortalize her is beyond everyone with a IQ above 20 which is anyone who is not a Republican.

the economy has turned around? when did that happen

health care system is better? no its not

GOP trying to keep unemployment high? really?

well Brenda what planet do YOU live on ? you may call it earth , but it's not the same earth the rest of us live on

the stock market is up......for now.

other than repealing the don't ask don't tell piece of crap legislation that's all you can come up with ?

try and pull some more rabbits out of your hat these are not working

I see Brenda so your big wins are all about gays! My daughter is just as naive as you are. Ya know that is all fine and dandy for gays, good for them. Now for the rest of the united states population in other words about 99% of the rest of us. Healthcare.... NOT it is worthless overcost mismanaged legislations that hasn't even kicked in yet and as usual you lefties claim it a huge victory before you have even read about it. Economy turned around? On what exactly, Obama hasn't done anything the market is good because people keep their money on the sidelines only so long. Obama doesn't have any input into the Market he has even said as much in his own speaches, you know those speaches, the one thing he does know how to do.

So I said there are way more then i could mention and I only mentioned a few and all you got was I mentioned about gays? I asked you to use the keyboard you have and the computer attached to it to research and you would find a list of hundreds more examples. Apparently you are unable to read and follow instructions. No matter, I expect as much from Republicans. As far as the market is concerned, if the President made poor judgment calls on laws and other issues he has enacted, then the market would have tanked. Regardless of what you say, this is true. Sounds like your daughter shows better judgment then you do. Good for her.

Yep great for my daughter who only votes for a president based on his liking gays, it's the only thing she knows about him. This from a person who can't pay her way, has no clue about life itself other than thinking it is a party and she is at the center of it, yep sounds like a Democrat, clueless, priorities and basis for judgement totaly skewed and off base, out of touch. Thanksfully this is her biggest shortcoming and Thank God the only one in the family, a younger brother who understands economics and barely 20 has more money, stable job, and understands politics. Hmm... ask yourself which path is better. Research with my computer you say? Please take your own advise to heart and open your mind.... also not a Republican here.... Libertarian and no even us Libertarians don't like your savior.

I feel sorry for your Daughter having to put up with your hypocrisy. Oh by the way, Libertarian is just another word for Republican. I know you don't think so, but that does not mean it is not true. Sorry to hear you do not like Jesus Christ our savior, but hey, to each their own. Hopefully your daughter will show better common sense then you have and get as far away from you as possible. The sooner the better.

What I can't understand is how Mrs.Palin was voted in as the Governor of one of our States. I can't see how she was capable of telling her voters what her platform was and why they considered that it was acceptable, and how the system allows someone,such as she,to make millions trying,as she claimed, to be running for a high political office. We consider Eastern and Asiatic Nations to be corrupt,No further comment.

I would be the last to say that she used her somewhat good looks to maybe offer sexual favors to grease the wheels. I am totally certain that she would not give certain key male figures bj's or other sexual favors for advancement. I think anyone who might suggest such a thing is totally off base. I mean, to even consider that she did things like that behind closed doors is unthinkable. That is why I am stating right here and now that I do not think in the least that she could have worked her way up t he ladder the old fashion way that women used to do. No, not me, so don't even think about the possibility that she may of traded sex for favors, because we all know that it would not be true, right? By the way, did anyone do a dna test on her last born? I am sure it would be a match for her and her husband.

This is news?

Sarah Palin's message has always been a mystery, as has her 'celebrity status.

But then again, here in the most sophisticated culture (no..really!) in world history, Jerry Springer, Duck Dynasty and those 'Oh my God' (repeat ad nauseum) ghost hunters have an audience.

Sister Sarah has a message:

she wants to give you a massage - a back rub - in politics, they call 'if I scratch your back, you scratch mine.' Sarah Girl knows a thing or two about 'scratching'...meow.

No, her message is not for Demoncrats or any of the 47%ers...

THAT'S why we'll not see a Republican Pressident for years to come... who would want a President that expect you to work, pay taxes, and contribute to the economy of the US of A? GOD FORBID!!!

Sorry, pig girl, you've no idea what Sarah Palin's message is, and you never will... you're just not intuned to work or those who do...

Pigotry, one way or another the right is going to come back to power. If not by the ballot box because vile slime like you controls the media, then through armed right wing Christian revolution with AR15s in hand. Sarah Palin will make a great leader who will introduce proper right wing censorship (no more MTV) and restore America to it's Christian roots.

then through armed right wing Christian revolution with AR15s in hand.

Lol, go ahead make my day. Would just be a bunch of dead gun nuts, the gub'ment would getcha I betcha...LOL

Uh, yea Extreme......that sounds REAL "CHRISTIAN"!!!!! YOU are apparently the one who would be most likely to be classified and described as VILE SLIME!! You're an anarchist!! You can't stand the fact that THIS President is in the White House (((((LOL)))))!!! YOU obviously have the intelligence of an omeba if you think you have a snowballs chance in hell of accomplishing any successful revolt against this country OR THIS PRESIDENT. Hey, do me a favor and adjust the antenna on your tinfoil hate, will ya.

Yea........................REAL CHRISTIAN!! <FACE PALM>

@ Jim #2.4

You're right. Extreme would be seen retreating over a hill with that AR15 hanging out of his arse (((ROFL))))!!!

Extreme Right (#2.3)

back to power ... through armed right wing Christian revolution with AR15s in hand.

wow, AR15s vs. nuclear weapons of the federal government....wow

Why don't you take a vacation somewhere? Unwind, then rethink your options.

sadden - I can see that you've never managed to cure your case of cranial anal orifice insertion. Getta you head out you rear...

and uh - extreme right - you DO know what an M-1A tank is? What the effect of a 105mm beehive round into a group of essentially unarmored "people" is?
Go ahead - make my day! LOADER BEEHIVE! Gunner right front personnel range 150...FIRE! ON THE WAY! (bodies dropping...) the MILITARY is what you need to deal with - the REST is just FLUFF

extrememoron - Dude, thanks. You gave me the laugh of the day. A lot of the rightwads who post here are downright nasty, bigoted schmucks. But you're too dumb to be nasty.

ItsAboutTime-3704531

What does Sarah Palin want..

"If I only had a brain.........., you could be another lincoln, if you only had a brain....."

Zheng He

The 47%? You mean the 12% of the 47% elderly? That had jobs, paid into the system and are NOW getting back what they paid into it? You mean 8% of that 47% that are college students who make less than 20K a year? What about the 1200+ Millionaires last year that DID NOT PAY ONE cent in taxes? Did you read about romney today? Do not make the same mistakes HE MADE

What is all this FREE STUFF you are talking about? You mean when I retire, the SS/Medicare I PAY INTO is free stuff? is it free stuff when Rubio gets student loans to pay for college? Is it free stuff when Ryan used his daddies SS to go to college? Is that the free stuff?

P.S. Palin works? She works at what specifically, what is her job?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You know exactly the ones I'm referring to. Social Security is not free; working Americans paid in to that plan all their working lives. Student loans are not free, they are loans. As far as the free stuff goes, you know exactly who they are; they game the system for money others work for and sell their votes in return for promises of more free stuff from hard working Americans. I don't care what Romney said today, it's irrelevant, it's one mans opinion.

Palin's idiocy is surpassed only by that of her followers. She's a shining example of why the Republican Party needs to distance themselves from the far right conservatives if they ever want to have relevance in American politics again. Throw out the billionaires. Let them be the Tea Party and see how they do. The Republican Party needs to get back to representing the American people, and not just the rich ones. People like this make "Conservative" a dirty word and one to be ashamed of.

Here's my Blog address if there are any Democrats looking for a new site to check out.

Sadden American 2012

No, her message is not for Demoncrats or any of the 47%ers...

The correct usage would be "SADDENED" American...but never mind that. It's just a symptom.

If you understood math at all or understood how voting works, it would be clear to you that insulting 47% of the population (do the math...it's only 3% less than half) is a sure way to lose, and lose big.

We won't see a Republican president because a Republican cannot get himself or herself elected by relying only on the votes of the lunatic fringe.

Thank god for majority rule!

Obama has done much, much more damage to the country than Sarah Palin ever could. Keep it up Sarah, whatever you're doing it's working... just read the libretard's posts!

Thank god for majority rule!

kaybe.... in this case, the majority approves of the idea of a big government taking care of them so they don't have to work. obama's turning America into a third world country and you don't care!

put a fork in it---You do realize that the rebels in syria are taking on the government who has a very large compliment of tanks and airplanes and weaponry. If your understanding of warfare is not clear, check history and all the stories of the little guy who has beat goliath with nothing more than light weapons. Maybe you can answer this how do the rebels in Syria get tanks, they take them from the government.

Pigotry---I like how you take the term Christian when it fits your needs. Just a little fact for you, Jesus did not cure hunger, plague, prevent wars, remove poverty, just to name a few. Your response is about as Christian as the comment you are putting down.

Sorry, pig girl, you've no idea what Sarah Palin's message is, and you never will... you're just not intuned to work or those who do...

Palin had no clue what the @!$%# her OWN message was. All she had was fiery rhetoric and what she thought were clever soundbites.

irv - a ragtag "army" - but they aren't dealing with a "real" military. Let's just say the Syrian "army" is about as well trained as a troop of US BOY SCOUTS (and I might even be insulting the BOY SCOUTS)

pigotry.......

answer this question, when the government as you say quells the armed uprising of the (gun nuts) as you say....with nuclear weapons and that would be domestic. where do you suppose the fallout is gonna land?

here is a short crash course on nuclear weapons.....the people that get killed at ground zero are the lucky ones. the fallout from the bomb covers several miles and is blown around by the prevailing winds , radiation poisioning makes you die in a prolonged painful death, hair and teeth falling out, puking your guts out, and then you die . and it is around for a long time . so no the people in the govenment are in no way gonna use these on ourselves which is what you would be doing, no matter where you aimed it .

that post is about the dumbest thing ive seen you post........its gonna hard for you to top that one.......

Might give "Extreme Wrong" a try.

" If not by the ballot box because vile slime like you controls the media, then through armed right wing Christian revolution with AR15s in hand."

Murder in the name of God? St Peter has vetoed every application offering that moronic rationale. Didn't you get the stone tablet?

I suppose you'll 'draw down' on the US Marshals when they show up on your doorstep. Forget about the two in front of you, the two behind you have already removed you from the gene pool.

...and power of course!

Sarah (ME) wants money. She wants it NOW! - Me Sarah

Of course it is about money. The funny part is that the people who will give it to her don't have a clue. A fool and his money are soon parted.

lib50, P. T. Barnum was half right. There are TWO suckers born every minute. At least a few of them made their way to CPAC (Conservative Pinheads Acting Crazy) this weekend.

I have listened to most of the speakers at this conference, the one person who actually has a chance is not invited. This is nothing more than a conference of losers and whiners and has been's.

Losers, whiners, has beens and the proudly ignorant like Palin.

She has a better hair do than Trump.

Because she's hot. Not much to say...but people like looking at her and impersonating her.

Not sure why it is getting so much coverage. I guess it is MSNBC hoping to sort through 30 hours worth of speeches to find about 30 second worth of sound bytes that they can take out of context.

No more of a cult gathering than the joke of the catholic church's boring stupidity that has been shoved under our nose for the last few weeks. Unlike the preference of catholic priests for their congregations children, I like seeing a nice looking woman even if she is as dumb as a stump.

starbuck49

She has a better hair do than Trump.

So does roadkill.

Auntie, Good One! Loved it.

Where do you think Trump got his hair? It's a dead squirrel.

Please stop insulting dead squirrels !!

fluffy tailed rats awww, save a rat, kill a palin

"So does roadkill."

Hey!

I thought he took ivannadivorce's bush and glued it to the top of his head

starbuck:

The striping in the parking lot has a better hairdo than Donald Trump.

Perhaps with some chargrilled moose.

She was very successful. She was able to work with both sides of the aisle. She was a little over her head, but she is much smarter than most give her credit for. She wasn't ready for prime time, but she is probably better suited to be VP than Biden.....I don't know many that are worse.....maybe Boxer.

Biden is doing an exceptional job as Vic president. You want to pick a bad one, well the name Dick comes to mind.

@Put #6.1 (and the other 2 arses that voted his comment up)

she is probably better suited to be VP than Biden.....I don't know many that are worse.....maybe Boxer.

Okay, I'll ask <sigh> What has Biden done (besides be the VP to the Black POTUS - (I'm trying to contain myself) that was SOOOOO TERRIBLE for this country? OOOKAY - - I'll wait for your response.

(((((((((ROFLMAO))))))))))) (quietly of course).

Berndog

So successful, they have to hide him all the time. Biden is a gaff machine. If he were a repblican he'd been laughed out of office years ago.

I'd say that, opposed to Cheney, she's have made an excellent choice as VP., but in 2008, I wasn't sure about McCain's longevity, so there was NO WAY to put Palin a heartbeat away.

Yes Biden is a gaff machine and he's good for a laugh - doesn't take himself too seriously. But unlike Cheney, he's not hiding under rocks, he's out there fighting the good fight by taking on Wayne Lapierre and the gun lobby. Meanwhile Palin who never even completed her term as guvner of Alaska has parlayed all this exposure into a serious cash machine and she's milking it for all it's worth. . Books (lol), speaking engagements, reality shows, Dancing with the stars for Bristol, what else. Not creating many jobs though. Not much to offer the Republican party either. You do know that she cost McCain the election? And since then, she's done nothing but enrich herself. What's truly bizarre is that Palin and Trump are at CPAC and Chris Christie is not. She must have one hell of an agent is all I can say.

More libe nonsense- while conservatives like myself were pleased to see McCain add a conservative to his ticket, we still refused to vote for another Republican liberal.

Conservatives don't want to hear from another Republican liberal like Christie

DB huh??

"Conservatives don't want to hear from another Republican liberal like Christie"

So what you're saying is you don't want to win and you would rather have a Democrat in the white House. Bottom line Larry --- Palin, Santorum, Perry, Gingrich, west -- they all have one thing in common ---- they're LOSERS.

With guys like You Larry -- it't NOT about winning. It's NOT about accomplishments. It's NOT about results. It's about WORDS. They ave to say the right words. That's all that matters.

John what is amazing is that there are people who can follow her train of thought. And as far as "competent" governor is concerned, ask a dyed-in-the-wool Alaskan how competent she was. She is the one who built the bridge to nowhere. Look on Google around Ketchikan, close up along the shorelines. You'll find it. It goes from one empty space to another.

LOL... look who's talking!!

She isn't a governor, since she was a quitter.

That isn't true. Just better than many of the elected officials.

Gonna have to define "American" for that one.... unless Americans consider education a deformity now.

A real American believes in the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land. That it is not merely a set of antiquated guidelines, but that law as it is stated.

A real American believes that govt needs to stay out of our lives and our wallets as much as possible.

A real American agrees with the Founders and most politicians including Democrats until about 1970 that Christian values are indispensable to the values of liberty

Nobody loves a quitter. Nobody even likes quitters. Quitter. QUITTER. QUITTER!

Being the mayor of the meth capital of Alaska doesn't help any either.

Christian values

Where? The 3 bastard grandchildren? What's Christian about that?

@Larry @12.4

Since the 30's I guess we've not elected any REAL AMERICANS then!!

Geez yashbutti take your meds. Obama quit too dipstick-

Rain, I think Larry should probably actually take the time to Read the Constitution. Doubt that would happen but then again just when you think there is no hope.

I've read the constitution virtually every week for nearly 60 years. Likewise continual reading of the Federalist papers, John Locke, Edmund Burke, John Stuart Mill, Frederic Bastiat, The Jefferson and Washington letters, and much more.

Perhaps you can enlighten me how my statements contradict the Constitution?

A real American believes in the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land. That it is not merely a set of antiquated guidelines, but that law as it is stated

Republican's are strong supporters of the constitution when it comes to their guns, then, not so much. The hatred by the right of the ACLU whose only role is defending the constitution proves this to be true.

A real American agrees with the Founders and most politicians including Democrats until about 1970 that Christian values are indispensable to the values of liberty

Cite your source. And which Christian values? The ones that allowed the Crusades?

The ACLU was formed by communists and continues to be dominated by Communists.

It is not Conservatives who are restrictive on the first and 10th amendments. I've yet to ever hear or read of a conservative not defending all of the Constitution.

Why don't you back up your claim with quotes and links

Cite your source. And which Christian values? The ones that allowed the Crusades?

The crusades? you mean the Crusades that were a defensive response to the attack by Islam on all of civilization including the invasion of Europe?

Larry 1323081, If I make the leap in logic that you started reading the constitution "weekly" your words not mine at the age of six you are around 66. The Constitution along with the Bill of Rights were written to protect all peoples rights not just the ones you select to be protected. Oh and God was not put into the Pledge of Allegiance until the 1950's but by your time line you would remember that. Sorry I guess I should tell you that as a kid in school at the start of class we all stood up a recited the Pledge. I find it somewhat sad that that stopped.

"Larry 1323081, If I make the leap in logic that you started reading the constitution "weekly" your words not mine at the age of six you are around 66."

The bottom line with Larry is he has a "vivid immigration ---- which is a nice way of saying he lies constantly.

Obama quit too dipstick-

No he didn't.

Guess you never heard of a promotion?

Palin walked away from her responsibilities. Obama increased his.

"Gov Palin remains a better American than any Democrat in this country."

Tell us Larry -- what did Palin actually DO during her short time as governor? What did she actually accomplish? My guess -- you don't have the first clue. You like her because she has a mouth. She SAYS what you want to HEAR.

You tell us about all the reading and studying you do, all the history you know, that's a ll a load of crap Larry.

nymike ...the only thing obama has increase is the deficit...he's a loser just like palin ...both parties are nothing but corporate sponsored ass holes...

It's too late for Larry he's had more that his fair share of the kool-aid.

My father made us begin studying history at the age of 5 and yes I am in my mid 60's.

By the time I was 10 I was already involved in political activism.

Larry is locked into a worldview that facts and realities won't sway. He's a true conservative that very much dislikes original thought, critical thinking, freethinking or, especially, tolerance.

He's comfortable with his beliefs, and won't abandon them. He has ever right to hold his views, and has no right whatever to dictate anyone else's. That's the real rub - he can't control those that disagree with him.

Perhaps. You don't seem to see 'ol Todd around much anymore, now, do ya? Next thing you know, she'll be sniffin' around Levi Johnston!!

Ewwwwwwwwww!

Farewell Mr. Happy, hello flaccid.

It boggles the mind to ponder who would care what she says. For me it's the comedy / tragedy thingie that keeps me coming back. Mostly the comedy though.

It is truely remarkable that so many people on this post seem to be bothered by Mrs. Palin. If you don't care anything about the woman, why do you spend your time ranting and raving about her? I think you ALL want what Sarah Palin has.

Or, as Robin Williams as Mork once answered when asked that question, "world peace, an end to hunger and a date with Annette Funicello!!"

Not really... when the majority of the US won't pay taxes, the last thing they want is someone to tell them to get off their collective butts and pay the Obama "Fair Share".

51% of all Americans do not pay taxes... why would they want a Party that expects them to produce to help America?

If you disagree, I wouldn't be surprised if you're one of the 51%... no one bit surprised, at all...

Sadden American 2012

You can't even spell your own name right. "Saddened" perhaps? And you come here spouting that BS 47% Mitt Romney horse feathers crap...

You know what? My father, retired 23 years Navy, and my mother, retired 25 years hospitality services, are part of the so-called 47% you are bashing. Both now drawing on SS and Dad's navy pension.

Go shove your useless drivel about someone, my parents!!!, "getting off their collective butts" up YOUR collective butt.

People like you STILL have not gotten it, why YOU LOST the election. Nobody LISTENS to you, nobody CARES what you have to say. you say the same things over and over and over.

Go away. carry your "collective butt" back under the rock you crawled out from under.

And stop INSULTING "47%" of people you KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

BTW, I myself have been working in the healthcare/hospital medical field for almost 20 years.

What do YOU do to contribute to society?

51%? What percentage of that are people that aren't of working age?

That 51%, according to the GOA, does NOT include retirees OR those serving in US Government jobs overseas...

I paid $8999 in taxes this year. So I think by your standards Saddened, I have a right to say something.

Do you know why 51% of Americans won't be paying taxes? Because they don't even earn enough to qualify to pay taxes. That is the real truth in America. 1% of the country holds 40% of the wealth in this country and 99% SHARE 60%.

If your so angry about 51% of the country NOT paying taxes then you should be blaming the corporations out there that UNDER pay the average worker. Do you know Walmart on of the higest profit earning countries in the world, actually off seminars to new front line employees on how to apply for Welfare! So while you in Walmart next time because you think stuff is cheaper, please realize your tax dollars are going to supplement their employees, while the company makes billons.

There was a time in this country when the average worker made a decent living but the greed of the wealthy have erroded away the economic balance and now the middle class is more like the working poor. It is not that workers are working less in fact, sutdies show that workers are more productive than ever in this country, workers are just not getting the benefit of the hard work. When CEOs earn 380% more than the average worker there is something WRONG!!

If we keep going at this pace there will be NO middle class. There will be the ruling class and the slave class.

And I'll tell you what I did to contruibute... I served 8 years in the Military... earned my combat stripe and patch... was an Adult Leader in the BSA... and last year, I PAID $43K in taxes...

WHAT DID YOU DO??

Oh yeah... you did bedpans...

I don't want to hear about the "average worker"... those times are past.

Your kind allowed the Toyota's to set up shop here in the US and bring down the wages of the American Auto worker... you're PART of the corporations out there that UNDER pay the average worker...

$90K in taxes?? Yeah.. you're one of the 1%....

Oregoninblue- if the middle class are disappearing as you say, how come their numbers continue to grow?

How come we still have upward mobility in this country? 300,000 new millionaires according to one article this week on MSNBC.

What we have is a changing economy and a great many Americans doing nothing to adapt to that change.

If you are not increasing your income or quality of life in this country, it's your fault. Not the fault of corporations or the wealthy.

You paid $43k in taxes, Sadden? You seem to lack the gray matter to earn half that much.

The 47% non sense is merely a Republican talking point for the idiots in their party. The largest number of that 47% are working poor who pay no taxes due to republican policies. When Reagan did his tax cut and reforms he raised the point people owed any taxes and doubled the personal exemption so over 10 million former tax payers no longer owed. Bush's tax cuts dumped even more from the roles. Romney's 20% cut and consolidation of brackets would have raised the 47% to 55% in one stroke. It makes little sense to demonize people for paying no taxes when your policies cause it.

How come we still have upward mobility in this country? 300,000 new millionaires according to one article this week on MSNBC.

Funny how you can quote liberal sources when it suits your agenda. If such a small stock market increase created x number of millionaires they were barely below being millionaires, and a small decrease will make them un-millionaires again.

IE your commentary is pure bs propaganda. And yes, it's all your fault. You indoctrinated cult follower masquerading as a thinking human being. Go now, and worship your god, the dollar.

It seems from reading your posts Yash that Karl Marx is your god.

The dollar isn't my god, the Lord God is. But God calls us to liberty, not enslavement to the State.

Wow! Sadden you paid $43K in taxes? You pull in a helluva lot of money. My best guess is somewhere around $3M a year would this be somewhat close? Not even going to touch the BSA thing.

I'm taking up a collection to contribute to Sadden's retirement. You can contribute in $1000, $5000, and $100,000,000 denominations. Please give until it hurts. I mean he's only trying to retire on $3,000,000 a year.

"This proves just how irrelevant CPAC is."

I's starting to think CPAC has been taken over by some under-cover Democrat trying to make Republican look even worse than they are.

It seems from reading your posts Yash that Karl Marx is your god.

Typical small minded pub, always trying to play the S card. How do I know your small minded? Your posts.

Tell us some more good stuff about that quitter Palin. I need a laugh.

Sadden, I would like to kick your butt. I had a dyed-in-the-wool Republican boss. When it was too late for me to look for another job age-wise in the industry, he stopped giving me meaningful wage increases (every 3 yrs whether you need it or not!!). When I told him it was time for a raise, he point blank told me---"I simply can't pay you what I would pay a man. A man has a family he has to support." I was a single mother--my son's father was dead. I guess, though, in the Republican mentality that doesn't qualify as a family. So shove your comments, pal. I will NEVER VOTE for another Republican as long as I live, unless the opponent is a bigger a-hole. By the way, his taxes were SIX FIGURES.

Way to go Tess. I'm so sorry that happened. To the rest of my liberal friends about Sarah. Sadden truly believes this thing about the 47 percent. He honestly thinks we are lazy and do-less. Undeserving. We had another like that. Ayn Rand. Then, Paul Ryan in the modern. Fortunately, those people are being more regulated to the sidelines. Take the election of Pope Francis. Advocate for the poor. Sadden and Paul Ryan, the opposite. Sarah is the same. It's what rich people do. My pastor tells me to view rich people the way God does ... as in desperate need of prayer and intervention. I'm not there yet, though. I still believe the French Revolution gave the wealthy what they deserve, the chopping block.

Saddened (spelled correctly),

What's wrong with emptying bed pans? That means someone is actually doing a job that is helping another human being that can't fend for themselves and they are at one of the weakest points of their lives. Obviously you believe taking care of others is a worthless proposition. I am an RN in a specialized field and I am thankful for people who take care of others. I pay taxes. I buy American. I own a gun. I take care of people who can't take care of themselves and sometimes I empty bedpans when needed.

I have some really bad news for you 47% believing people. Many of my patients are staunch Republican conservatives who are on medicare because of a chronic disease and in many cases was brought on by their own behaviors. They don't work and rely on the government to provide for them. And I love my patients! I don't have the slightest problem with being able to pay my taxes so that the less fortunate have care when they need it. I don't have the slightest issue with making sure they are treated with kindness, fairness, and compassion. Simply because they have a different political position has no impact on my feelings of care for them. In a country that has so much, there is no reason for any person to be on the street, children without homes or food, or people dying because they need medical treatment.

*sorry to the rest of the group for the rant. Back to topic*

Sarah Palin is a mystery to me. She took over Wasilla as Mayor and completely brought financial ruination to the town. Before Sarah Palin, zero debt. When she left, the town was millions in debt that couldn't be serviced. Her Mayoral legacy is of a hockey arena that can't pay for its self and a town drowning in debt. As Governor, she was absent for most of her tenure due to the VP bid. (Which I don't fault her for. She saw an opportunity to participate on a bigger scale.) However, when she got back, she abdicated and left her job! She left the people that voted for her because the job became too difficult for her to do. She cashed in on her celebrity instead. She had a responsibility to her people. She abandoned them so she could do reality TV, speaking engagements, and work for Fox news. What message does that send?

Yes, Sarah is not a well informed political person. She does not know much about the world around her. Does this make her a bad person? No. Of course not. Does it make her a bad politician? Of course it does.

yep. ..hot and dumb ! A great combination to get panties twisted up. Maybe she just likes the guys in the suits lookn at her! Could be?

Says someone that hasn't had a job in ages... she was GOVENOR of the larges US Sate... you can't be "dumb as a post" to hold that office.

I know what you're thinking... "Not like she was a community organizer!"

You do realize that in land mass Alaska may be large, but do you know the population? Alaska could better be compared to a large city - no comparison. If she was so important why didn't the American voting public know more about her before John McCain's desperate choice of a VP candidate?

Sadden, you have mentioned her governship in several posts as proof that she is qualified to be POTUS. The population of Alaska is 731,449 - Jul 2012 47th out of 50 in lowest population. The population of the US is 313,914,040 - Jul 2012; with 50 different state governments deciding local agenda. How does managing the largest land mass state make a person eligible for managing the total population of the US? In reality, there are very few people from any party with any previous experience that is qualified to take on the role as POTUS. Oh wait, there is one, his recent employment includes 4 years running the country as POTUS. Not perfect, but light years more qualified than Ms Palin.

saddened, Sara QUIT being Governor in her first term. Because she thought it was to stressful on her state. Do you really think she wouldn't quit being President? Face it, she is a quitter and quitters never win!

Sadden American 2012

Wow, I have looked over several of your posts here and elsewhere on Newsvine, and I have some advice:

Spellchecker is your friend. And you didn't even spell your OWN name right. :(

I am "saddened" by your comments.

With a population of 320 million and a budget of 3.5 trillion every man, woman and child in the U.S. has to pay around $11,000 a year in federal taxes to pay your share or $44,000 for a family of 4. If you aren't paying that much you aren't paying your share much less anyone else's.

I know she's dumb as a post

I see no reason to disparage perfectly fine posts. At least they have a purpose.

Egad Sadden, AK is the largest land mass in the US but I think population wise they are relativly small. It is better to keep your mouth shut and look stupid than it is to open it and remove all doubt. MRI_Virginia said it best.

There's always one of the outdoor channels on cable. Or, a soap opera. Yeah, soap opera, THAT'S the ticket! Hell, she wouldn't even have to act!!

I would suggest a reality show for Sarah, but then, her and reality haven't ever crossed paths.

I am from Alaska...we don't claim her either. Seems she has a house down in the southwest somewhere and we haven't seen her for a while (Thank God!). She laughs all the way to the bank because those gulible types are donating to keep her in money. The only darn thing she wants is the spotlight and thanks to NBC, she got it.
