Now there are many, many ways Sarah Palin could help this country. Running for President will never be one of them.

I am continually amazed at how consistently liberals resort to name calling and personal attachs in an effort to get their points across. A civil discussion of issues just isn't something they seem capable of. If they think Sarah Palin is such a monster, why don't they flatter her political and leadership skills in an attempt to convince conservatives to embrace her for office -- and then beat her at the poll? The only reason to constantly condemn someone you dislike is because you're afraid they might just be more popular than you can handle.

Well, Noel, this pointy-headed liberal just followed your advice - actually, before reading it. In the online poll "What career path should Sarah Palin pursue?" I clicked the "A run for the presidency." button.

Cheers

Are you also continually amazed at how consistently conservatives lable liberals "socialists" "anti-American," "in league with terrorists," and "out to destroy the country"?
The name calling cuts both ways, I will concede your side is infintitely more better at it than my side.

Wow, Noel... are you referring to the same Sarah Palin everyone else is watching? "Political and leadership skills?" If you somehow think her skills in the political and leadership arenas are what is driving her popularity, please explain why you think you, or anyone who does, deserve civil discussion?

Woodstock, you're not suggesting our present president has any those skills, are you? Palin did not have all the experience required for the office, but, come on, Obama had next to NONE. He was handsome and articulate, but now he's finding out it takes much more to lead, build trust and defend a country of independent and freedom loving patriots. I'm fearful the country will not survive him.

OMG Noel,I think you can help my NGO. We're working on changing the name of the Republican party to: "The Party of Fraud and Lies" and Sarah P. is our candidate.

If Palin was not physically attractive she would be a Nobody.
Her image like her words is so shallow.
I find her popularity very scary.

I am among those who oppose just about everything that Sarah Palin claims to stand for.

That said, I hope that everyone else who opposes her never forgets that name-calling and smarter-than-thou corrections of a candidate's grammatical and geographical errors are insufficient to insure an electoral defeat. Doubt me? Then consider GWB's two wins over far more intelligent opponents.

Don't forget that the USA is generally an anti-intellectual culture. Always has been. Further, this seems to be an unusually anti-intellecutal era. Don't doubt that Palin's handlers know this and will continue to capitalize on popular resentment against any candidate who can be painted as a pointy headed academic.

As much as I'd like to see her disappear for good, the know-nothing mindset she panders to won't.

I don't think Sarah Palin is competent or qualified for most jobs. Certainly not any job that requires good judgment and diligence.

Palin seems to be mainly interested in making a lot of money and getting a lot of attention. Most people don't think she's very credible or trustworthy.

Palin is a divider not someone will unite the country. America has enough redneck, Misinformed ,third grade minds who are voting against their own interest: health care reform!
