DISQUS

The Moderate Voice: Palin Resignation: Another Shoe To Drop?

  • GeorgeSorwell · 5 months ago
    In the summer of 2007, the candidates for President were supposed to be Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giulliani, with Michael Bloomberg as the third-party wild card.

    Anyone who thinks they predict 2012 from this point is nuts.

    "Didn't Obama leave as Senator"? Um, yeah, so he could be POTUS, not DOOFUS...

    ...and said she was under constant fire because the liberal media and the Democrats feared her.

    That one is beyond amusing. I have no doubt Palin has many fans who believe that to be true, but they (and Mark Levin) are deluding themselves. When she burst on the scene as McCain's VP the GOP swooned and most dems were momentarily shocked - but then thrilled. Most in the GOP have emerged from their Palin fantasy by now, but dems would still be thrilled if she pursued a national career in politics. That said, the electorate has done some pretty silly things before... Michele Bachmann being a recent case in point. I agree with others though, Palin's public career is probably destined for the world of "entertainment".

    The comparison between Obama not completing his Senate term and Palin not completing her term as governor is laughable. Obama trumps Palin, just as Hilary Clinton did, in intellect, judgment and knowledge of the issues. Palin is an attractive, charismatic candidate who has yet to prove that she can succeed on the national playing field. I do think a primetime spot in the Fox lineup is in her future--- and that she could potentially be the next Limbaugh-in-lipstick!

    This woman has offended me so many times I cannot count. Her view of the world digusts me. If her new career is talk show host, then good. That seems to be where the failed conservative politicians go, grow old and die. Now I will not have to listen to her offenses because I can change the channel.

    If she has indeed broken the law, then I would be most pleased to see her prosecuted. Our courts have much experience prosecuting conservative politicians. It would seem that corrupt, vile, ignorant republican politicians are the painful truths of our age and I have no idea why.

    Hahaha.... I think the fear is around what she would do to our country if she became president.

    OMG, I was right!

    The other shoe is that she IS Sanford's new lover.

    I hope I win the Pulitzer for breaking this story.

    It isn't the Democrats that fear her; it is the Republicans that want to run for President.
    We Democrats like her because we believe it would keep us in office if she is the nominee for
    president in 2012!

    She is not as conservative as she pretends. Check her record in Alaska.

    Her main 'scream' is for the lower 48 to get their oil from Alaska. You remember, Drill baby Drill?

    What has been my reason for not 'liking' her was her constant criticism of Obama
    during the campaign.

    Criticizing the opponent scores no points with me. It made her look bad to hit below
    the belt. A beautiful woman saying such unkind, unproven, negative gossipy type things.
