    Why exactly are we comparing Palin to Obama. Didn't the Republicans vote for McCain?

    There's much speculation Palin is going to run for the Republican ticket in 2012, and some Americans being what they are, there's a decent chance she'd win it.

    Why didn't we just elect the Alaskan Barbie Doll and get it over with. I think most American's didn't want a person that stoked up the fires of racial hatred, based on radical fundamentalist chrsitianity and demonstrated no intelligence or political skillset. Sorry but I am not willing to spend taxpayer dollars on dressing her, while she's totally incapable of performing the duties of her job.

    She's a better basketball player go figure! We should base our votes on that alone...should we?

    We had our chance to make her the lone survivor on the island, most of us chose not to...get over it!

    Constitutionally there is no religious test for public office are you implying there should be one for athletic prowess. I would think FDR would have failed that test and Taft and others as well.

    Or is it that he didn't win a beauty contest? I don't think Abe Lincoln or Taft and others would have ever won one of those either.

    And white elitist you can't get much more white or elitist than FDR and JFK. But both could carry on a conversation and support their commentaries as opposed to Palin.

    The thing they didn't do openly was use their elected positions openly to promote their friends and destroy their enemies. Which is something Palin didn't learn hide.

    And lest we forget she "quit" /"bailed" on Alaska. She didn't serve out her term. That's the kind of person we should trust with the presidency?

    The one thing I will always thank her for is the turkey video, it made my holiday season last year:

    If only Obama had been on the first string in basketball in high school like Palin. He would have earned the right to be President. And if only he had lived in Alaska. He would have been able to see Russia from his house and therefore been completely qualified in foreign affairs.

    Here's an idea: Have Palin run against Obama in 2012. Forget about a vote by the general public and the electoral college, which screw things up anyway. Obama and Palin can play each other in a game of one-on-one basketball. The one who wins becomes President. The loser becomes the Vice President.

    In the mean time, to quell Palin's frustration and whining about not getting to the White House in 2008, have Palin become a reality TV hopeful. She can crash one of Obama's parties pretending to be someone she isn't, which happens to be one of her talents.

    If Palin wants to garner even more attention to boost her book sales, she can launch a flying saucer shaped balloon from the lawn of the White House and claim her grandchild was accidentally inside of it.

    Even better, have that attractive former-cheerleader blonde who recently crashed Obama's dinner run for President in 2012. Afterall, she got closer to the White House than Palin ever did. She looks better than Palin, is more clever, and her voice doesn't sound like fingernails on a blackboard.

    Hahaha. Jesus Christ, how could anyone support a woman who hates women's rights and is dumber than a bag of dog shit?

    Oh yeah, theres this too...
    http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-11-29/palins-bus-hoax/full/ Be sure to read that.

    Seriously, this woman is a self-centered egotistical ****. She has NO redeemable qualities to her personality at ALL. She plays off the fact her supporters are just as stupid as she is and spews out some folksy drivel that sounds like she is saying something important but its all just hot air to pump up her base into cloud 9 where they float off into the heavens and daydream about how America needs to be "taken back" (because black people steal stuff).

    I could easily sit here all day and repeat similar sentiments that others have shared but it'd be a moot point. The bottom line is she's a vile human being who has the IQ of someone who had a mother who quaffed down a fifth of bourbon nightly while she was incubating in her womb.

    Hmmm. Lets see. She runs a business and ran the Alaskas Oil & Gas regulatory commision which is pretty hard to do because the oil and gas industry is pretty complex wouldnt you agree? Also her poll numbers have caught up to Obamas who is declining for some reason. I wonder why? Can you answer why Americans are becoming dissatisfied with a man who has usurped the Presidency and payed up to 2 million to keep his college records hidden unlike Palin.

    The only job Obama ever held was just a community organizer. WoW!!!
    Palin Jobs: Commercial Fishing Business owner, Mayor and Governor who is still has high poll numbers with the populace of her state. Again Obama; Community Organizer and lawyer for the most fraudulent organization recently in America called Acorn. At least Sarah Palin is a natural born citizen born two two American Patriots. Her son should be commended for enlisting in the Army to go to Iraq and fight the terrorist.

    All I know is this...

    If it comes down to Palin against Obama in the next election?

    We're all fucked.

    Just like the last election.

    She ran the one of the least populated states in the union. My senator has to deal with 3x as many people as her if you give him 1/2 the state and I live in a small state. She rallies against federal funding despite the fact her state gets more then almost every other state.

    Obama went to an ivy league school, he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard, yea he probably didn't do so good at Columbia or Occidental, this is a known fact. Considering he got into Harvard his GPA at the end of Colubmia couldn't have been that bad.

    Palin has a degree from a state university in communications(ironic since she sucks at it) with an emphasis on journalism. Obama has a degree in political science from 1 Ivy league school and a degree in law from another.

    Natural born citizen........shut up.

    Also you don't pay to keep college records hidden, they're not public information.

    Palin thinks Africa is a country, that she can see Russia, and she can't name a single newspaper or magazine she reads, but you know, she reads them.

    Also running the oil&gas commission is actually not that complex, and she did it for a year.

    She wanted to make women pay for their own rape kit.

    Also, Obama's poll numbers right now are the exact same Reagan's were in 1981 in December, oh snap.

    Though I am happy to say she did win lie of the year

    LOLZ YOU THINK OBAMA IS A MUSLIM.

    Also, there's a difference between saying 57 instead of 47 compared to repeatedly referring to Africa as a single country. But more importantly I think it's important to have a president/vice president that actually reads once in a while.

    "Arguing with rednecks" the thread. Might as well give up. People are one sided and don't like to be proven wrong.

    You know Rebel, I love how lefties don't ever like to back up there claims. In this thread I have read about Sarah flying all over the place for a book deal. So what Obama flys all over the place, like to Copenhagen for that phony conference. I've read about someone who says she has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Or maybe they were talking about Stretch Pelosi. Did you hear Pelosi when asked about the repeal of the tax cut for the rich. She was asked if it wasn't a tax increase? She said "No . . . Bluh, bluh, . . . umm, it's actually a removal of a decrease that was there." It would be really funny if it weren't so sad.

    Why is it that when a politician talks about Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln they are called an idiot. And when they talk about Marx, Chavez and Chairman Mao you are applauded. You heard that Annita Dunn psycho say that Chairman Mao is one of her two favorite political philosophers. Or John Holdren when he said that a fetus will inevitably become a human after given proper food and socializing experiences? What then a kid in a shitty orphanage isn't a human being. An infant just born isn't a human being. Or when Kathleen Sebelius was cheered when she said the health plan they are voting on will bring the end to the insurance companies.

    These people are very, very dangerous. What they are doing is an attempt to destroy America because some of the legislation has wordage that prevents future congresses from ever fixing this mess like the way the 21st amendment repealed the 18th.

    A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
    Thomas Jefferson

    We could say [Democrats] spend money like drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken sailors. It would be unfair, because the sailors are spending their own money. Ronald Wilson Reagan

    You can't be for big government, big taxes, and big bureaucracy and still be for the little guy. Ronald Wilson Reagan

    Now, I don't like what is going on in the Republican Party right now, either. I wish we could have Reagan or Lincoln or Jefferson or one of those boys. But Sarah is the closest substitute.

    Obama sucks!!

    I think it's pretty silly that anybody would stand behind Sarah Palin as VP or President of our nation. Even if you agree with every single thing she stands for, she has so little actual political experience. She was the governor of a state with a smaller population than the city of San Francisco. However if we are going by her public speaking abilities, she has hope after all. We did elect Bush, did we not?

    Palin joined Fox, as Huckabee did.

    http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE60A4YT20100111

    She may not ever become President, but she can go down the road of the late Tony Snow of Fox and have a good shot at becoming a White House press secretary.


    Excerpt:

    "The conservative firebrand has signed a multi-year deal to serve as a Fox News contributor, the cable channel's executive vice president for programing, Bill Shine, said in a statement.

    The move will help give Palin a large audience for her views as she mulls whether to run for president in 2012.

    "It gives her more exposure for as long as she wants it," said University of Virginia political analyst Larry Sabato. "She can always resign the position to run for office.""

    Yet another stunning move on the part of Palin in her quest to become President:

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100323/tv_nm/us_palin

    Excerpt:

    "LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Sarah Palin is close to a deal for her travelogue reality show.

    Sources say Discovery Communications has edged out rival A&E Networks in the bidding for the project, "Sarah Palin's Alaska." An agreement could be announced in the next few days."



    Next up: A reality show called 'Sarah Palin's America', where Palin pretends to run for President of the United States.

    They're both awful, awful human beings who are equal parts of the scheme controlling our lives.

    Obama is the more intelligent, palatable, and socially acceptable of the two by far...

    ...but Palin says some of the funniest shit to ever fall out of a politician's hole.

    I liked Sarah Palin before she aligned herself with the Republican party, or any party...
    I liked her best as a mysterious Alaskan Maverick...

    One who championed against party corruption on both sides...but now the Republican party has high jacked Sarah Palin...and she's just an extension of Fox news...

    She needs to go back to her wild west roots of being an independant renagade...
