I don't think war is always the answer but if it is present while she was president I think we would be in a world of poo poo as far as her policy's and political views go I don't know anything about hers,as I said lots of home work.

your first issue (which I think you've come to realize) is that both Republicans and Democrats aim to screw you ... it's just who you want to screwed by:

Democrats: Will screw you to benefit Wall Street and the Financial Institutions
Republicans: Will screw you to benefit Oil Companies and Defence Contractors (War)

this is not a joke ... far from it ...

and no, it's not because she is hot ... seriously, she is NOT hot ... don't let makeup and some air brushing fool ya ...

in any case - she can win because of 3 essential things:

1. the voting system - because of the electoral colleges, she only has to win x number of states ... she could theoretically get 35% of the popular vote and still win ...
2. an ignorant voter base - most people continue to vote strictly on the letter next to the name ... partisanship and the feeling that is the only option has killed democracy in the USA
3. the power of media and PR ... hopefully, you will get a chance to read the book i suggested in the other thread for you ... in any case, this radical right as i call them are very savvy ... their smear campaigns and negative ads as well as their willingness to lie makes them a very powerful especially considering point 2 above ... also, the indoctrination of right wing myths is perpetuated across the country through right wing pundits, right wing op-ed web sites and blogs, these guys take the play book and they run with it everywhere ... take global warming for instance ... having studied the science - i guarantee you that it is real and that in reality it is not very hard to prove ... yet, half of americans don't believe in it ... with the majority of those people voting republican ... and that is again because of their ability to work on their base through aggressive PR mechanisms ... there was a board member here all the time that used to post link after link denying global warming and in each time it was proven to be published by someone linked to a right wing think tank that is funded by big oil ... yet, no matter how many other links anyone else would post, he would continue to post these pieces that had no substance ... that is what i'm talking about - he has been indoctrined and that goes for a whole whack of people ...

so, yes, she can most definitely win ... heck, look at her daughter on that show ... she is the worst dancer but yet she's in the finals ... same thing for her mother ... worst candidate ever and she could be president ...

I just read a article on fox about her....I joke and say she's hot and as far as most female politicians go she ain't so bad..but the bottom line is if we voted today I could not vote for her (gut feeling), it's like the Godfather movie when Michael says "I need a war time congsiadi"(spelling ?)

You could vote for a 3rd party candidate or not vote at all.

Can you picture Palin sitting with military commanders discussing how to handle the situation in Iraq of Afghanistan?

Or can you picture her having talks with the leaders of Syria?

:roll: :oops:

I hope Palin runs. That will guarantee Obama another four years.

I think these people might have known how to deal with Bush though... maybe sort of.
With Palin, I think they would just be scratching their heads.

NO matter what you think of her as a political leader...she is a master at using the media and manipulating the media in order to gain exposure.

She's also very good at using her face time to appeal to Joe Public in a lot of ways. I know many think she is stupid but either she is or whoever is running the show is absolutely brilliant in this regard.

she manipulates the media because the media pays attention to her. the media goes where the ratings are.

why would anyone want a stupid leader after 8 years of w?

no she is actually pretty stupid...

and with her kids posting that stuff on twitter or facebook or whatever and her home life a trainwreck, how can she be a serious contender at all? imagine what would have happened if malia and sasha obama called people "faggots" on facebook posts during the campaign...

she quit as governor and that in my opinion makes her unelectable.

yeah your right sorry, let me rephrase that, out of these two, who would you trust to lead the country in a time of crises, and for arguments sake we will just say that these are your only two options

Never said she was electable as President. Just said she is currently the political personality that is best using the media to her advantage.

As for your comments about facebook, etc...maybe we'd start to see that politicians are just people too and not hold them accountable for what there kid says a few times on a webpage. Fairly certain my parents would have be unelectable if everything I said or did weighed into the subject matter. I must be getting old.

Godfather.

sb that's a tough one I don't know that Palin would be better or worse than obama.
also I must apologize for obama bashing,after reading through here I have come to realize that any good that obama may have done or do in the future will not be seen until months or even years after his service as president but also the bad choices he makes may not be seen till then as well just like any president before him,
I made my assumptions on a gut feeling and those were fueled by negative reports from the media so unfortunately we will not know the full scope of his choices for some time...good or bad.

well it's good to see some one showing some critical thought on the matter and not just buying party lines of obama is amazing or obama is shite, i am now alot more understanding of your opinion... i think what too many people do is think one is right and the other is wrong, when in reality both have good ideas and both have shocking ideas. i would be fairly liberal however i would be neither left nor right wing, and even in classifying my self as liberal i do agree or respect some conservatives and disagree with some liberals

I absolutely expected a drop in the ratings for her show but just NOT this much. BTW, who the hell finds a show like this about this family interesting over a long period of time. There's not enough drama,
A Moving Train has more drama than that show.

Peace

Show had 3.2 million viewers per week. She was coming under fire for wildlife exploits, is that the main reason. Anyway BYE BYE Sarah never thought the show would last.

Sunday's season finale of Sarah Palin's Alaska is said to be the show's last episode, Entertainment Weekly reports.
The former Alaska governor's TLC reality series -- which premiered Nov. 14 -- averaged 3.2 million viewers per week, with its first episode delivering the network's best-ever launch ratings.

Coming under fire for her wildlife exploits, including caribou hunting and fishing too close to bears, Palin's Alaska also showcased the politician's children and husband, Todd.
