Do you not want to advance yourself at sometime in your own career? You're bashing this woman for wanting to better herself, and that's a hypocritical thing to do.

Palin was the most down to earth person I've seen in Politics for a long time. I felt like my neighbor was on that stage talking..not a robot spewing propaganda from a teleprompter.

With that said..she has no shot in hell with winning anything.

Baker I was talking about George W. Bush

Plus let me add all I hear is how great Clinton was.

Well from Jan 1 1995 to the end of his presidency he had a Republican Congress. Who made who look good.

Like I said with GW and the U.S. economy. Our economy started dumping right after the Democrat's took over the congress.

So good luck Barry with the idiots you have to work with in the Capital. They will sell you down the river to save their political asses.

Like I said I can understand why, but it was political suicide doing what she did.

Two thumbs up!
She doesn't want to be a lame duck so she runs away? What about the Alaskan people? Don't they deserve more? They elected her to do the best job she can.

It's really scary to know that she could've been VP, McCain could've died, and then she would've been POTUS!
Waaaaaaaaa I can't be president no more. I don't want to be a lame duck.

Difference being, DC isn't using taxpayer money to do so.

Palin was an idiot twit who obviously couldn't take the heat. What if people said bad things about her when she was VP? Would she have just run away then? What if McCain kicked it and someone called her dummy in the lunch room? Then she'd leave this country with no president?

I will miss her, though...she kind of took the place of Dubya in the "I can't believe that dumbass said that" category. Guess we'll have to settle for boring old Biden now.

Lol...

So after 6 years of republican rule, everything was dandy...yet for some reason, the country wasn't satisfied [no reason of course].

Then, the dems hid Bush's veto pen and went out and rurnt the economy in 6 short months!!!

I never knew economies could turn on a dime like that. With that logic, I guess 9/11 was the fault of the GOP, since they had been in office a whopping 9 months!

uhuck.

She is far from an idiot. The only idiots around here are the folks in the DNC and sheep who think Joe Bidong is boring. LOL, he has earned the idiot title 10x more than Palin.

Calling someone names is one thing but being forced to spend your entire career defending false allegations is simply a waste of time. She did what was in the best interest of her family and the state. There is a big display of blind hatred right now. Clinton should have done the same during the Lewinski scandal. He was an unproductive president during that time and this distracted from pursuing Osama. The difference is, those allegations were not false. The Republicans were targeting him for a reason. Had he stepped down and kept the focus on protecting the country, perhaps there would be more Americans alive today.

Having a big mouth, and being an asshole doesn't exactly mean he's an idiot..

Hatred? Only hatred I see now a day is towards Obama. Justified or not..

Now ridicule would be a better description..

Oh please.. If you think Lewinski had a damn thing to do with Osama you're kidding yourself.. It may have log jammed his domestic agenda MAYBE.. But that's it.

Give me a break, The Republicans didn't give a rats ass about what he did. They smelled blood in the water, and a chance to increase their own power bloc and they hammered at it until they squeezed every drop from it. Clinton fucked up hard core and the Republicans pounced on it..

Republicans have historically been much better at organized attacks then the Democrats ever have been. They're vicious and never stop when they see an opening. Note that I don't say that as a negative thing.. Congress should question and rip to shreds any President who breaks the law. I only wish the Democrats would have done the same with Bush. However to say that Republicans had the countries best interest at heart during the whole Clinton affair is just blindness.

Hell, lets face it. The only thing Clinton would have had to do to end the entire deal would get on TV and say the following statement.

"If you were married to my wife, you would have lied to.. Can you really blame me?"

No but being an idiot makes him an idiot.

I don't believe you are an idiot so I know you know better. There is hatred for Palin and justified hatred for Obama due to the spending, cap and trade, appointments, etc. Big difference considering Palin has no influence on the majority of Americans lives whereas Obama has a lot.

NY Times seemed to believe so. Only the blind folks over at Think Progress seemed to believe as you say.

Not my problem.. perhaps he could have tried telling the truth?

Could care less... I'm not a Republican so how is this relevant and I disagree with those best concerning organized attacks. The Dem coordination on Palin is amazing and reflects poorly on them IMO. I am suprised that they have more focus on Palin when they should be having a field day with Ensign and Stanford -sp?

Honestly... I really think he should have. Dude, I would LOVE to have Clinton in office with Newt back in congress anyday over the present fiasco. I still trust Clinton 10x more than Obama.
