Talk about delusional (and a big lol to Fox News/Greta for failing to post the entire claim). At least we can be happy that if she ever tries to run again for public office, her opponent can bring up her lack of fortitude when the times got tough. | ||

But instead she says, "well, it certainly does (enforce her foreign policy credentials)" after being asked how being close enhances it... I'm trying to account for Palin's actions by inferring probable causes. From a perspective of psychological realism, it's particularly easy to surrender to presumption under interrogative pressure. The question was so set up, that had she replied in the unqualified negative, not only would she have been placed in a bad light, but John McCain, with whom the assertion originated, would have been contradicted by his VP-nominee. Ideally, she should have made a qualified response, cut out the "it certainly does," and simply ennumerated the details of Alaska-Russian relations. Of course, for the purposes of political humour, the interpretation that Palin is simply an ignorant woman is far more suitable. However, I pray that public humour has not yet become so bland, that it is willing to sacrifice fairness to a bad joke. | ||

1) Sarah Palin is not stupid. The same interview clips and bad answers crop up again but all these prove is that she is a poorly coached and underexperienced politician. Nothing more, nothing less. Politicians routinely fall back on canned responses and she just didn't have anything in the can and got flustered. And because she's a politician, she doesn't have the ability to go back and say, "yeah, I did a poor job of explaining myself at the time." To admit a mistake is to admit incompetence. To change your mind is to demonstrate weakness. It's dumb, but that's our politics. 2) Despite not being stupid, Sarah Palin does not belong in an important government position. She's simply not the most qualified person for any available (or soon to be available) position. Her ambitions have already far exceeded her worth. Average hockey moms are awesome for PTAs, not executive office. Her name brings along nothing but polarization. Liberals get offended at the backwater ignorance she respresents, Conservatives get offended that liberals last out at her. If not for the continued media attention, she would have disappeared into obscurity, where she belongs, long ago. She's a political prop taken way too seriously. So let's go ahead and cut that out. | ||

Or maybe she has a lover in Argentina too! Or maybe she just wants to spend time with her screwed up kids! Or maybe she's needs cash and shes going into the private sector. | ||

1.)Palin realized she isn't cut out for real politics and is giving up on her political career (fine option). 2.)Palin is even a dumber bitch then we thought and thinks she can still pursue a political career after resigning from office early. Giving up on your political duties before your term is up is not something people want to see from a politician (except in the situation of Palin where a lot of people would love her to get out of office for any reason). Either way, her decision was another step in the right direction: her downfall. | ||

I will say, she isn't my first candidate for 2012, but she is definitely in the top three. I would rather have Jim DeMint for 2012, with either Inhofe, Paul, or Palin as the VP candidate. To those questioning her intelligence, need I remind you of the many questionable comments from Barry Soetoro aka, Barack Obama. No candidate is perfect, and these disgusting remarks, slandering, and defamation of character that is currently being perpetuated is abhorrent. She is the executive of the largest state in the nation bordering one of our enemies (Russia), oversees the two largest US Military bases, and is constantly receiving national intelligence reports. She also is in charge of the highest energy producing state in the nation. Now, I hope you do know, that Alaska has a surplus in their budget, at a time when many states are filing for chapter 11 (Not literally of course), and the EPA shuts off most of Alaska's resources from being used. She does bring out the misogynists in full form. Who know who you are, you can disagree politically all you want, but many of the comments are way across the line. PS. Before the national media spotlight and constant attacks she had a 93% approval rate as Governor. | ||

There is no conservative party unfortunately. Too bad this country is ever mired in a two party syndrome. I'd love it if the Libertarian Party and Conservatives got together, and formed a new party. The two founders of the LP were Goldwater/Taft conservatives, now only if we can return to such ideals and principles. | ||
