Palin's 2012 Playbook

I would like to know how "truth be told's" daughter knows without a doubt that Obama is going to strip down the military. Has she had private conversations with him where she was the only person to be told this? Because this defers greatly from what the man's policy is, and what he has been saying publically he is going to do. I don't know how people have continued to belive that McCain would be the best person for the military, he voted against increasing funds for the military almost exclusively.
I think you and your family should be a little more open minded, and let the man fall or stand, then judge.
At a time when there is so much good will from all over the world, your grapes are a little sore.
Unless if the man has told you personally that this is what he is going to do, you should'nt state as fact.

Michelle Bachman/Sarah Palin 2012!

I don't really care where Sarah Palin 'goes' from here...As long as it's far, far away and off the media radar. She can take her divisivness, her hateful ideology and disappear forever as far as I'm concerned. She's a huge reason John McCain lost. She was an insult to intelligent, working wives, mothers, sisters, etc., everywhere from the moment she was 'presented' to America.

If Sarah Palin has ambition to run for the presidency, she first needs to take a course in constitutional law. There she would learn that the courts have ruled it unconstitutional to teach creationism and intelligent design in our public schools. Also, that a mayor of a town cannot go to the local library and ban books that she doesn't approve of. The First Amendment protects our right to read whatever we want.

YEAH, I can't believe the mainstream media tricked the American public into voting for a Black, inexperienced, terrorist-loving, secretly Muslim SOCIALIST! Those elitists sure pulled a fast one, hoodwinking 110 million people into participating in this farce of an election...personally, I am using every free moment I have to construct a bomb shelter under my backyard and stocking up on non-perishable goods so that my family and I can survive the fall of the western world in January.

I don't quite understand the vitriol surrounding Palin. While obviously not the public speaker that Obama is, she undeniably has more relevant experience. She's governor of a state with a multi-billon dollar budget with no deficit. By 2012 she'll have more experience than Bill Clinton had when he took office.

While I hope for the best, Obama is an absolute unknown. The question I always ask is this - Tell me why you voted for Obama without using the words "change", "hope", "Bush" or "Palin scares the hell outta me!" which is simply parroting a Dem/CNN catch phrase.

Obama is brilliant in many ways and will be good for this country's standing in the international community. How he will "change" Washington is an unknown. When all is said and done, you still have a lawyer who is a career politician with no track record.

Hope and Change are nice words. We'll see how they transfer to reality.

<<<Honestly I would really be surprised if Palin wins a 2nd term as Governor.>>>

Mac/Palin won AK 62/36 and she still has an approval rating of 80%+. I have no idea why it would be a surprise, other than believing all the rhetoric and ignoring the facts. Alaskans know what she has done for the state and will reward her with another term.

I really hope the republicans nominate her in 2012--first of all she provides great fodder for late-night television. And second, I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to vote for her again for Governor of Alaska, much less president. The fact that anyone would entertain such a thing just goes to show ya--the right wing of the Republican Party has not been paying attention. America has spoken so loudly and clearly--we can only assume they are all deaf . . . and dumb!

I never did like the description "lipstick on a pig" as applied to Sarah Palin because it smacked of discrimination against the female gender. But, I would go for "fresh paint on a rotten barn". There's not a hint of gender in it and it seems to go along with the hasty pudding choice of one in a panic for a running companion who just grabs someone off the street and puts new clothes on that person to make that person look like a real candidate. Then, don't let anyone talk to that person and who would ever know the difference. At least, until that person spoke.

I think this article is pretty close. We can speculate all we want about what she can and cannot do, but what I see is a great potential for talent. I think waiting until 2016 is risky. This country has never had 3 back to back 2 term presidencies, and Clinton-Bush was only the 3rd time in History we have had 2 back to back and only the first in the 20th and 21st centuries. That said, anything is possible. History is not on Obama's side. Say what you will about Palin. She lacks experience, doesn't know the party machine, etc. One thing she does have is a big following. Whether she uses that to her advantage is up to her. I agree with many of the points in this article that she must do to run in 2012. If she wants it, she'd better get going quickly, like 6 months or less. I think 2016 is too late. I wish her well whatever she does and if she runs she has my support. In the meantime, although Obama did not get my vote I will support him as our next president. It's a dangerous world folks, lets come together. Republicans, please clean it up quick!
