Does she even know of any historical sites? Maybe Bachmann can show her the way, she seems to know alot about history - not.

Hi Feisty,

Funny :-)

Feisty.....you are so funny and quick witted. It will be another shiny ball for the media to follow. They are tripping overthemselves trying to get out the news. She will laugh all the way to the bank.

Do you suppose this decision will create a cat fight between her and Bachmann, I'd pay to see that.

Don't Forget the Turkey & the Helicopter Moose(Elk) Tacos!

Karl Rove must be pulling out what's left of his hair. Here he thought he and his GOP powerbrokers had successfully gotten her off the stage and back to Alaska.

I don't think she'll run. She's just doing what she does best, stirring up things. Plus she loves attention and is in need of ga-ga media spotlight, money for her PAC, and to be back in the limelight which puts her in demand for high-paying speaking engagements. She's just using people again for personal gain. But with Palin, I wouldn't bet money either way.

Thanks Job! & Gingerbread Mamma!

I wonder if she'll be bringing her props, err... I mean kids along this time?

I imagine there is a whole bunch of heartburn going on over at the RNC is this ding bat decides to run! LMAO

*Tums* anyone?

A movie? "The Undefeated"? How does being on a losing presidential ticket (and being most of the reason for that loss), quitting halfway through your term as governor and then using Twitter to hide from unscripted media events qualify as 'undefeated'?

I like fictional movies as much as the next person, but I think this one may be stretching the concept...

Stop it Rick, you are making me hungry.

I cannot image one person with a brain, who would take Sarah Palin seriously. She has the Tea Party, to follow her because what remains of the tea leaves, are incapable of an original thought. I did not agree with the the philosophy of the Tea Party, when it began its grass roots effort, I could understand their contention. I believe, they wanted less or no government and no taxes. But what remains of the Tea Party is a group of people who believe they have earned the right to have it all but want to deny a decent life, for anyone else.

Palinis a user. She takes what she wants, from whomever she wants and then, tries to destroy what is left. She is a parrot and a parasite. She is milking the system, even though her popularity is waning, some will continue to follow her because she is the basis for their skewed beliefs. She is not intelligent but she is sly. She is a cheerleader but her team is losing. She inspires no one but talks the talk. She will continue to say the same volatile, hate mongering words, receive her applause and then shake her pompoms and exit the room. She may inspire some to hitch their star to her wagon but I have never quite understood what that saying means. And if I do not understand, you can bet Ms Palin has not got a clue. Face it, she still want something for nothing. The something is money and the nothing is............ while Sarah!

As a resident of the northeast, that liberal bastion of non-Americans, I shudder to think what she will classify as historic sites. But she should avoid CT where I live all together. After she said real Americans aren't the liberal elites in the northeast, but rather real Americans according to her, only live in the Midwest, people here were very confused. Maybe she doesn't realize several towns, like the one I have lived in my entire life, were settled before there was a United States of America. My town was settled in 1709. The whole northeast is a historical site, so that might be very confusing for her.

I think there's a place for everybody in this world. The best job for Little Miss Glasses I can come up with is an actress in a feminine hygiene commercial. She's a perfect fit.

Feisty....Hi.....how's things going for you at NBC News and the DNC? When are you going to be straight up with us and tell us what you really do for a living?

Come on, Mrs. Palin!!! Run, baby, run ... as an independent.

That would suck 5% right from the GOP.

Woohoo!!

Do you suppose this decision will create a cat fight between her and Bachmann, I'd pay to see that.

You Betcha! 2 sociopaths going at it! This may lead to a new reality show on Fox.

Anyone wonder if folks like Palin and The Donald are intentional side shows, so that whoever ends up throwing their hat in the ring appears impossibly sane by comparison?

I hear a lot of republicans say that its democrats who are the only ones interested in palin, but if thats true...why do the republicans keep trotting her out at THEIR events, events WE are not at? If there's no appetite for Palin amongst republicans, there'd be no room for her on the stage...let alone in front of a mic and being PAID to be there.

Im sorry, but republicans need to own this one...she's a sideshow, pandering to the crazies...and drumming up fear amongst the sane in her party that she might represent them...and all the while, making independents think "what are they doing?" only to be assured with a more logical and sane pick in the primaries that republicans arent "that dumb".

It distracts from asking real question from the real candidates, which is exactly what they want. Less time for voters to know what they are actually voting for, all they'll really know is this "im just glad its not palin or donald trump"...

really, its a brilliant strategy considering they have no real plan on how to fix this nation, a nation they agree is broke in a variety of ways.

@Feisty - love your post!

Is this for her own edumacation? :D

Keep it coming, Sarah, gosh darnit! This term's Repub primaries are going to be such a beautiful train wreck to watch.

Better make sure that bus is stocked full of 'bendy' straws...

Wouldn't want the Ditzy Diva to have to use 'regular' ones like the rest of us schmucks! lol

@NES - Thank YOU! ;o)

Does anyone know Bloody Sarah's bus route? I PROMISE not to tell it to any terrorists!

I am dying with curiosity over what Palin considers to be historically important.

Plymouth Rock?

The Pilgrims?

Powhatan?

Pocahantus?

Philadelphia?

I'll bet we hit the Boston Tea Party loud and long.

Ben Franklin?

Lexington?

Concord?

Bunker Hill?

Valley Forge?

The Alamo?

The Triangle Trade (Molasses, Rum, Slaves)? Huh?

The Iroquois League?

THE WHAT? THE Iroquois League? What's that? Triangle Trade? How was that important to the formation and founding of our country and our government?

I think it will be very interesting to see what she believes to be historically significant and exactly WHAT about those choices make them important to her? Should be very interesting. I guess there will be a two hour special on Fox.

If she runs then Obama is a sure shot. I hope she runs. Keep giving her the attention she so much craves. Good or bad, as long as she gets attention she will continue to think she stands a chance. I hope she can conjure up some smarts along with all that attention she gets.

Well, at least she's using a bus.

I'll bet Ozzy Osborne is a little disappointed she isn't doing a whistle stop tour,

All aboard

Crazy,but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train .....

To Jessica: IMO, the entire repunican sideshow of preliminary presidential 'hopefuls' is a SMOKESCREEN to misdirect everyone from the real battle. ..... The House and Senate goal of procuring a veto & filibuster proof 60% majority.

To Fiesty: Love ya.

Sorry to be so risque, but she should also include going to the Museum of Sex in New York City, while she's at it... because if she ever does become President, the whole country is going to get screwed...

I don't think Sarah Palin will run for President. I think she will run for John Kyle's senate seat in Arizona. She just bought a house for 1.6 million in Scottsdale

To Fiesty: Love ya.

@humansmatter - Thank you for the kind words & right back atcha! ;o)

Sounds like Sarah would be a perfect bookend, for Jan Brewer. They can got out in the desert and look for "headless bodies" together. They can relate to"headless bodies", neither one of them ever uses hers!

I'd be curious to know what Sarah could do for a two hour movie...maybe they'll show it on the tour bus. Everyone would be sick, but it wouldn't be motion sickness.

FOX news will do a "reality" series following her around the US. It might be entertaining if she never opens that pit below her nose. Does anyone else find her about as anoying as a cheese grader across the forehead?

You're completely missing the upside here.

Sarah Palin will finally get a lesson in American History . . . at least the trivia version. It's been fairly apparent up to this point she is totally ignorant of . . . well . . . everything and anything.

Maybe next she can have Jimmy Carter give her a physics lesson and a workshop on nuclear energy. Short version, of course. Beats having to stress her attention span.

Getcha Sarah Palin itinerary right heah:

Tour starts in Arizona. Once Mexican property, stolen by illegal immigrants. Something about Gadsden. Moves to New Mexico. New Mexicans legal. Old Mexicans illegal. Then to Texas for a history lesson that's being revised this very moment. Off to Louisiana, a very big place once upon a time with a big city that God hates. Heading north towards Oklahoma where nobody knows a damned thing about history. Very good, because by now Palin is on fact overload having crammed three or four facts into her head including the one that Indians gave away their oil-rich lands to white folks as a giant housewarming gift.

North to Kansas, a great free state where Separate but Equal meets John Brown and there really is a Bible and Rifle Church. Really, honest. Even Bachmann couldn't make that up. Then she goes east to Colorado. Nope, not west, 'cause Palin says Colorado is east over near the Brigham Young college and the Smithian Tabernacle and polygamists. Hey, this is about history. The salamander is in Pennsylvania.

Johnny Horton says, "North to Alaska", but Palin says you'd need to take the AlCan Highway and that's a damned socialist program. She'd rather die, so she goes to Minnesota to meet the great Governor Pawlenty and the world's most renowned historian. Need I mention her name? Then to Iowa to meet the world's finest extremists who historically haven't been doing too well picking the winner of Presidential contests. (I have it on good authority, Torquemada is only a few points ahead of Palin.)

Tour stops for 15 minutes here. Traditional family values must take precedence. Calls home and asks about Trig, Trick, Track, and Trump - who'd a thunk it? On the road again. Off to Ohio. Kasich heads welcoming committee, but finds legislature has stripped funds from tourism board. Same in Wisconsin.

Mainstream media at this point says, "Hey this is truly freaking lame. We're outa here.

Palin vanishes.

I hope she has the opportunity to visit all 57 states.

Just kidding, she isn't that stupid.

Gotta love it when fiesty heads up a thread. A whole lot of patting each other on the back for one tired, conservative insulting comment after another. I mean it just goes on and on and on and on. High fives, good ones.... Nothing substinative, no room for opposing thoughts, and zero ideas on how to get us out of the mess we're in. Just one big happy fictitious utopian bubble. Like I said, gotta love it.

Democratic think tank is well represented above. Scary thought, I'd take Palin's ideas over the majority of yours. Oops, I forgot, none were put forth were they?

Just one big happy fictitious utopian bubble. Like I said, gotta love it.

Green is not a good color on you tod!

Best to stick with something that works for ya, like say, Red?

Oh and, don't forget your flag pin K?

Almost forgot, I see your comrade RonPaul2011 brought SOOO much to the conversation - why NO mention of THAT?

Palin is nothing MORE than a MILF that causes all you to vote with your 'little' heads...

Bet you even voted for the RonPaul... didn't ya?

Tod: You are so correct, Sarah Palin has not had a thought yet. Gotta Be thinkin to have thoughts, you betcha.

Good one, funny, you rock feisty, high five, ron paul yuck yuck palin gots no brain hehe!!

Come on y'all, some poor conservative sap was foolish enough to question our little utopian happy train. Go at him!! He just don't know how stupid he is.

No feisty I would never vote for ron paul, I've got too many questions about some of his past bigotted affiliations. Similar to one of my problems with Obama's past bigotted/radical affiliations.

Perhaps your tiny society all talk with each other in feisty code; cause your little coloring lesson was lost on me. But as I said before, I always enjoy it when your comments cause me to remember my kindergarten days.

Tod,

You are so right about Fiesty, not an original thought in her little head. But she can sure demonize anyone who doesn't agree with the progressive/liberal mind set. Pretty sick isn't it? The typical progressive/liberal way is to not debate just demonize. I feel sorry for most Americans because we are going to see the left at their finest from now until the elections next year. NO SUBSTANCE just HATE. And when it is all over and they have lost their majority in the Senate and the White House it will get worse.

Stand back everyone, you don't want to be too close when this gets collapsed.

Aaaah, the ronpaul post that was collapsed. Don't know him, don't care to know him, hope the foul juvenile critter is booted actually.

JH, I actually do often find some fair minded liberals on MSNBC stories.

But you are right; feisty aint one of them. I'm not sure how she is so often first to comment on stories (her and navy). They both also seem to have a shallow minded following of chummy like-minded friends who spew the same nonsense. Its a good form of comedic entertainment though to read through some of the threads they start.

How cute - misery has found company...

Sounds like you two should get a room! ;o)

Don’t worry about Palin’s bus, worry about Obama’s economy. That’s where your focus and energy should be funneled, because, when reality hits home and debt starts to change the structure and dynamics of our society, your color will change very quickly.

You’ll curse the day you started on your “ignorance” trip.

Fiesty

Would there be a room next to yours and Lawrence O's? Or maybe that whore Mr. Schultz? You sound like you have bed side chats with them every night. Please take a break from MSNBC and see how the real world is.

Isn't it almost past your bedtime? You need to be fresh in the morning to get the first post here. Navy, you might have to fill in for Fiesty tomorrow morning.

This should be interesting. Sarah Palin and company, on a quest of American history in a bus, backing along the nations freeways.

Feisty, you are one, giddy at yourself creature, arent ya?

Actually JH, Oberman is probably a better fit, and might be lonely enough. Oh no!! I'm turning into feisty; I just posted a brainless barb. Lord help me!!

lisa s,

I agree. I don't think Palin will seek the Presidency this go around - I think she is moving to Arizona to seek a U.S. Senate seat. (Remember Hillary Clinton did the same thing ... moved to New York and then ran for U.S. Senator and won, then later made a bid for the Presidency herself.)

This could all be a part of Palin's stategy. I think she knows she cannot beat Obama, but if she plays it right and can get voted into the Senate, then she will make a grab for the Oval Office in 2016.

Personally, I hope she doesn't even get elected to the Senate, and I hope Arizona remembers what Alaska already knows: Sarah Palin is a Quitter. When the game isn't going just the way she likes, she quits.

Feisty, so enjoy your barbs. Keep it up. As for Palin, who knows what that grizzly mom will do. It's hard to guess what way she'll jump. I wonder if she believes polls? She should. The ones predicting her DEFEAT were right on. Republicans, you had better hope she doesn't run. If she gets the nomination, President Obama will carry 49 states, which will be just fantastic.

Tod, the green color, I guess, would be for envy. You know, the saying "green with envy." Or it could be the color of someones face when they are really, really sick. Either one works.

However, it will be good for Ms. Palin to take a history tour. God knows she needs further education; just wish she'd take Bachmann with her. And would I love to see those two "debate" one another. That would be priceless, but I'd pay to see it if I had to!

Envy oooohhhh, that makes sense. That would absolutley fit feisty. Thining others would be envious of her. Do you wish you were her baby?

One thing we are all over looking, Palin still works for FOX news. She cannot be considering running for president, while actively employed by FOX. I cannot call it a news station.) Roger Ailes had his other "political" hacks, resign when they said they were going to run. Sarah is still on the payroll and she is not about to give away the easy money. Heck, I would like to make some easy money like she has. All I would have to do is, repeat the same things over and over. Get this, I am willing to bet my experience as a nurse, would be of actual value, to FOX worshipers. Oh, I must confess, I was listening to Lawrence O'Donnell tonight. He actually made the point about Sarah, continuing to work for FOX. I would like to take the credit but this may be difficult to believe, I am an honest person. I make my share of mistakes but, I own up when I realize the error of my ways. No wonder I would never make it as a politician!

Oh boy, Sarah "Imabailin" Palin, is back! The Repug's race was getting kinda boring. But I guess we should start making bets:

1. Will this just be a di*k teaser bus tour?
2. Will she quit the primary races before the convention?
3. Will she quit the general election race before election day?
4. Will she quit if elected Pres before the completion of her term?
5. Should she quit now and get this over with?

Step right up and post your prediction!

Relax Sarah, the "fire in your belly" is just gas.

I hope it's not the partridge family bus,what happened to the helicopter?...sarah palin is a joke. she is why the gop-tea-baggers are not taken seriously anymore......Obama/biden 2012

Great news for "Camp Obama". As long as there are stupid, teabagger lemmings to fleece, the Palins of the world will continue to exist. The more she drains from that trough, the less is left for GOP hopefuls that have a remote sniff of beating Obummer. So to all Palin lovers out there, that is the reality. Get use to it.

Oh Tod, why didn't you take this opportunity to show us something of "substance"?

Good Luck with THAT!

He's been trolling me all day and so far has come up empty! lol

Good Morning Feisty,

Good Luck with THAT!

He's been trolling me all day and so far has come up empty! lol

You have a follower (one of many I assume)...I guessTod is not interested in a discussion. There seem to be many of those that attack but don't reply to the questions asked...they just attack again with some other irrelevant crap.

Dear gawd make her go away, far away. Tour bus is right....she should have been in show business instead.

I too, love you, Feisty!

She should really take a bus tour of the Atlantic Ocean. There are lots of sights to see there.

@ bayllie - Yeah, the trolls come and they go... most don't have the stamina to go the distance! ;o)

@bellejournee - Thanks - you sure know how to make a girl *blush* ;o)

@Feisty - You're welcome! Go, girl, send those trolls back under the bridge!

@Indigogal "she should have been in show business instead", I am not sure it is called 'show business' when they use an allegorical stripper pole.

Will she actually be on the Bus, or Flying to the Bus & getting on it just before it arrives at that Location?

That way she can get off & embrace the LooneyTunes who Actually thought she was on the Bus for the entire ride!

No Andrea & Mark, what this stokes is the MSM's continued Ignorance to be "Carnival Barkers", as with your 2 threads already today about Man On Dog Santorum!

You Betcha!

"Short bus?" Is that funny in Visalia, CA?

It's funny to anyone that has a sense of humour.

MY guess is Bloody Sarah will l be riding on the same little yellow bus she's used to riding in.

"short bus"

That is some funny isht!

I just want Sarah to run in 2012.

Someone should make it their priority to ensure that she wins the Republican nomination so we can see her debate Barack Obama.

Now that would be a movie for your azz!

That would be hysterical!

Sheila: how about Palin/Bachman 2012 ? Now there's the ticket !

Please tell me someone informed her it is illegal to shoot wolves from buses.

Nvm, short bus thunder stolen

marty, I bet you could bet her in geography, vocabulary and parenting skills.

How are you at applying make up and choosing shoes?

If somebody drives it off a cliff then she won't be able to see Russia anymore.

by moving to Arizona she's becoming multi national with her porch vistas,...

I think she gets to add Mexico to her list!

Marty, GF - how the heck are you? You could best her any day any time on any topic.

Bloody Sarah will soon run out of yellow snow but she'll still have all the 'blood libel' there to console her! You Betcha!

Why an unwieldy bus winding up I95? Couldn't they just take a car or ride Amtrak?

This will be the fake bus tour that she used before!

Arriving wherever in a private jet.........then gettin' the bus!

Hey, Spank- y' ever consider leasing out the ol' RV? I think I know someone that might wanna use it. They'd keep the miles down low, I'm sure. And not mess it up inside with beat-up fish carcasses and such.

I think. Don't hold me to it.

She certainly has a conundrum if she plans on visiting republican presidential birthplaces. Nixon was raised in (dare I say it) California, so she'd have to actualy set foot there. Owwwww!! All those liberals! Heaven forfend!!

I'm rooting for the pizza guy, Cain. It would be a hoot if both of the major party candidates were African Americans. But I think the chances are slim to none that Cain will become the second African American president.

The repub/teaparty will never allow a person of color to represent them. And who would have to explain it to Sarah? LOL

Pawlenty is the most viable candidate and very realistic. Palin could be a GOP nominee's good friend, but ...not the best candidate at all. Popular and electable are very different qualities.

If you like BS, the GOP has PAWLENTY....

tempusfugit1

Popular? Sarah Palin? Now that's some funny s***

Pawlenty is the candidate voted "most viable" by booger-eating morons!

Uh oh...Sarah...look out now....Some of the folks you may meet have been to school and everything. Better look out for those TRICK questions again and study up...(did you find an answer yet for that hard one about what do you read?)

This thread seems like it could have started the same way as the previous one - Headline Punsters, Start Your Engines!

Fear not, Amy, she's gotta get past me first - and I'm only a mile off of I-95!

Terror on I-95 - film at 11

LOL Amy!
Heard in Boston: "The Alaskan is coming, the Alaskan is coming!"

Why would she expose herself in enemy territory?

PM NYC- Why you ask? Because she is an imbicilic moron!

Holly, are you sure that wasn't heard in New Hampshire (ala Bachmann, heh heh)

sorry, I kid.

PM, NYC - please don't go there with the imagery!

You won't believe this but I was driving down I-95 (I have an Obama 2010 bumber sticker) and I was mooned by Tina Fey in a tour bus.

I guess you got a half Monty as Sarah "expose(d) herself in enemy territory"..... truly LOL

thanks Forest and PMC

But now she can truly be at home, and on the road at the same time, its a mobile home!!!

And when she's done, she can park it and become the trailor trash we all know she truly aspires to become.

Heh-heh, heh-heh, hey Beavis! Beverly just mentioned Sarah Palin's tossed salad!

Beverly, wouldn't you love to see her debate the other GOP candidates? I would especially enjoy her, with her tossed word salad, and Newt, who speaks 'in tongues' with references so obscure that only he can guess what he is talking about. I don't know if Sarah and Newt think in ways obscure to us ordinary mortals, or if they toss the words deliberately so that the words can be interpreted as whatever their followers want them to mean that day. Then the next day, when the political winds shift, Sarah and Newt can insist that what they ACTUALLY meant was something completely different.

Make it a triple feature;

Sarah Plain and Stupid
Pawlenty in Dawn of the Yawn

and

Romney in The Stepford Candidate

Hate? I see a lot of laughter here, not hate. She's no threat to Democrats. Come on...we're a big country...we've got problems, differences...but someone who is this ignorant of history, ignorant of her own country, is going to position herself as an actual candidate for national office in the 21st century from ANY party?? (Her own boss at FOX Roger Ailes said she was about the dumbest person he'd ever met). It's just embarrassing as an American...I get unsophisticated and not Ivy League and all that...but someone who doesn't even read a newspaper? Doesn't know anything about domestic or foreign policy? Hasn't even been that engaged in her own state? I don't care who you are. What other choice do you have but to laugh?

"Lay some education on me, America. Just please keep the language clean. :-)"

Well, I can't speak for the others, but for me it was the RNC convention speech. She enjoyed making fun of Obama W A Y too much. I know they all do it- it's normal for those settings, but she was way too over the top. That, and that damned sing-songy voice that drips with sarcasm. That, and her inability to take a hit and let it go, without constantly refering back to it and playing that 'poor me' garbage without end.

Honestley, I dont think anybody hates her, I am the most liberal old woman in S.C. and I couldnt hate her. I feel most people. think she is so unquailfied that it is a disgrace that she put herself out there to act like she knows anything at all about running a country like ours. Most Americans dont hate her, but it does make us ashamed that she thinks she could be President.

GOP undecided, we don't hate Sarah! We love Sarah, she is so much fun! We want to see her run, please, please, please!

So, it's simply a lack of confidence in her qualifications to be president and her disrespect for Obama? Am I simplifying things here?

I don't exactly hate her. She drives independents to the Democrats.

However, I do despise her personally because she makes a mockery of my country, it's values, it's principles and she is so incredibly anti-thought, anti-thinking, anti-knowledge. She appeals to the shallowness in people, to greed, to foolishness and to returning to a nation that never existed and never will.

If you once thought well of her, perhaps you were fooled but if you still do, I think little of you. You are a thoughtless, mindless minion.

GOP Undecided

"So, it's simply a lack of confidence in her qualifications to be president and her disrespect for Obama? Am I simplifying things here?"

You're getting there. Now, combine the two things you just mentioned, and mix them with plenty of scathing sarcasm, and you will be even closer.

...Better yet- mix in the things Geoffreyf

says in his 2nd line, and you are nearly there!

First of all, she is not qualified to be President of the United States.

Second, look at Sister Sarah's past interviews and non-factual statements (lies) she makes in every interview. (Fact Checks) Also, go to a Palin rally, which I have done and check out the signs and talk to some of here followers, who recite some of the most unbelievable garbage they have been fed. It’s scary.

Most of all she is a major contributor to the dumbing down of America.

@ Marty - did you use to comment under a different moniker? You sound an awful lot like someone I remember from 2008 and looked forward to reading...

What you see here is mostly ridicule not hate.

I haven't seen as much hatred for her as I have incredulity at her absurdity. She has only presented simple answers for simple minds; feel good platitudes without substance. She seems to live in a delusional world of good (Palin, guns, flag, apple pie) and evil (government, minorities, unions).

Geofferyf, specifics, please? I've heard the rhetoric from both sides. I'm trying to be an informed voter because, like her or not, it looks like she's going to make a run.

And the name calling is uncalled for. We're trying to have a mutually respectul conversation. Personally, Palin is just another politician to me.

GOP Undecided You're close. Her total lack of qualifications. Her lack of literacy. Her inflated ego and failure to even understand that she is viewed as a joke. And just the grating lack of perspective drive most thinking people to the brink. When I hear her say that Obama is in "over his head" it makes me want to scream.

Oh, and she will never run, she'll pull a Trump in a few weeks.

GOP - as a woman I don't hate her but I am totally embarrassed by her. When a political party says this woman and Michelle Bachmann are the best out there, it's totally humilitating to women. A large majority of us are smart and resent an idiot like Palin pretending to represent women. She is a joke at best and a very bad role model at the worst. Hated - no. A joke - decidedly.

GOP: Ok, you introduce yourself to a national audience as a VP candidate for the first time, sit for your first round of network interviews and you can not name a single, not one, US Supreme Court decision you object to after saying the Supreme Court needs an overhaul. Then you go on Glen Beck's show and say America need to stand behind "our North Korea allies". You tell a nation of 400 million Americans that the only "real" Americans are in pockets here and there in small towns in this country...You campaign against single-payer health care and then you admit that your own family traveled to Canada for it's treatments despite your denunciation of national health care as "socialism" that establishes "death panels." You tout your own "family values" as superior and a model for the country with a teen daughter who then launches a career as an unwed mother spokewoman for abstinence and a son in law that could rival any family member in history for being hell-bent on humiliating the family. You give birth to a son who you say you considered aborting and then CHOSE to carryfull term, then turn around and fight against women having any choice in their own pregnancies, since that decision is best left in the hands of the state....You call the current President's policy on Israel "abhorrent", not for it's political ramifications but because the President of the United States is failing to understand BIBLICAL Prohesy? No, this isn't about disagreeing with her politically, although that's easy enough. This is about a candidate who thinks she can be President who her own PARTY is running away from her in droves because of her stupidity.

Rocketman, isn't what makes America great a combination of both sides? A little bit of apple pie, baseball, freedom mixed with worker's rights, civil rights and a compassionate government?

But maybe that the problem - if someone represents an imbalance?

Sorry GOP Undecided, I don't hate her, I don't dislike her personally. What I disliked her doing was her red-meat, prejudicial word tossing; her disregard of the truth. I'm female and feel that she isn't representative of the many intelligent women who could run for president and succeed. Palin is smart but incurious and much like former President Bush, she's mentally lazy and doesn't care about what doesn't interest her. There's nothing wrong with being disinterested or mentally lazy unless you want to be President of the United States. To be President it requires learning about and being willing to get involved even in things one doesn't find interesting. The Bush presidency is proof of why being mentally lazy can cause such harm to the country. I felt her selection as VP set the hopes of American women winning the presidency back a decade if not more.

Thanks to all of you who responded. I have a feeling it's going to be another looooong election year.

GOP Undecided -

If you can stand one more - at the risk of sounding like an echo chamber here, it's not hate to me, either - there's just not enough there to be worthy of hate. For me, it's always been a sort of incredulity that anyone so simplistic in her views and such an intellectual lightweight could ever have been embraced so much for doing so little. To this day, I can't remember a single policy she ever detailed on the campaign trail, just that she and McCain were all "mavericky" and were going to do stuff differently. And to follow up on what Jody said, in a way I guess I resent her for setting back the idea of women being taken seriously as candidates for high office, though in all fairness, I blame McCain for choosing her in the first place without knowing much if anything about her - as a woman, it seemed like a blatant attempt to pick up female voters disgruntled by Hillary Clinton's loss to Obama - as if we'd vote for any woman just because she was a woman. But hate? No. Total bewilderment? You betcha.....in any case, thank YOU for starting the discussion, and good luck with your decision. it's already been a looooong election year!

Marty - I felt the same recognition as Feisty mentions above as soon as I saw the name "Marty" - if that is indeed you, then welcome back!

Why would I hate someone I consider a box of rocks? I don't hate her; I actually feel extreme pity for anyone who lives in a glass house launching boulders, and all the while having a pity party for herself when people call her out for the uneducated hate monger she is.

I don't waste the emotion of hate on anyone. It's counterproductive to the naturally happy, well adjusted person I am. I can also assure you since I went all the way in school, I don't need to use derogatory language to convey my disdain for someone who hasn't contributed a single positive note to the political discourse in this country. If she offered solutions instead of hate, I might actually listen to her without immediately feeling the need to reach for my Excedrin.

Her stupidity, which she seems to wear like a badge of honor. Her hypocrisy, which she is, by definition, blind to. Her egotism, which seems to know no bounds. And finally, that irritatingly nasal voice which Tina Fey so hilariously nails on SNL.

GOP Undecided

I see you grappling with what exactly it is that triggers near universal negative approval figures for one candidate, while another candidate, equally partisan, is tolerated.

Most people recognize what motivates Palin is opportunism. Basically, she couldn't care less whether conservative policies are enacted, she is in it for her own aggrandizement. We have not fallen so far in our country yet, that we accept political leaders who are strictly in it for their own advancement. Every politician is ambitious, but only the most craven wouldn't care if their rhetoric leads to end-of-life talks, for instance, being twisted into the concept of "death panels."

She makes a lot of people feel the same way they do when they try to make an important phone call, and can't get a human on the line. If you want vitriol press one, phony patriotism press two, self aggrandizement press three, if you want anything that makes sense hold until one of our operators............

Thanks again to everyone. Only goes to prove once again that Americans of different political parties can have an adult conversation without angry words and/or name calling. :-)

I don't think "hate" is the word. Like the others, I feel ridicule is more appropriate. I can think of several reasons why Demoscrats -- and many Republicans I know -- alike, believe that Sarah Palin is a poor choice for President:
#1 She has encouraged/promoted hatred of people who disagree with her. How? By posting a map with actual shooting targets on them of folks she disagrees with. I hold her at least partially responsible for what happened to the people who were massacred in Arizona. I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican, encouraging other people to hate is unacceptable
#2 She is ignorant, thereforce inclined to bigotry and racism. The videos posted on youtube of her dealings with fanatics are telling
#3 She is an extreme zealot when it comes to her religious beliefs which she has tried to impose on others, like at the library in Alaska where she tried to get certain books banned
#4 She is not well educated -- she knows almost nothing of American history, not to speak of other countries. She would be a disaster as a president with her low level of knowledge of anything unrelated to Alaska
#5 She has a small-town mentality and it shows in almost everything she says or thinks
#6 She was trying to impose her beliefs about sexual abstinence on so many -- all the while her own daughter is an unwed teen

#7Her inflated ego prevents her from being gracious -- she is similar to The D in that way. Do we really want an egomaniac running our country? She is a poor role model for women and encourages the "women are ditzy" image held by some men, and her focus on appearance encourages the American public to pay more attention to the style of her eyeglasses than to her hatemongering actions

#8 She is a polarizing rather than a unifying force. Team play is some of what women do best: she is terrible at it.

Is there anything else that needs to be said to disqualify her from the Presidency? She has none of the qualities that one would like to see in a president. This is why she is not liked by Democrats, but it's also why she's not liked by many Republicans. I have to be honest, though: I would like her to run against Obama because she wouldn't have a chance in h... against him.

Feisty, that's our girl Marty from Columbia! I'd recognize her anywhere.

How you been South Carolina?

I personally really hate her politics. I don't hate her. I just find it amazing that any woman can be a Republican. I find her embarassing on many levels because she diminishes issues that I have worked for my entire life. She stands on the shoulders of women my age, and doesn't even notice we are there.

Feisty, that's our girl Marty from Columbia! I'd recognize her anywhere

OMG! I thought she sounded like a blast from the past!

She sure was 'feisty' during the primary & general in 2008 - used to think how lonely she must be down there in SC!

She didn't go by Marty then did she?

Hey if I wanted to be mean I would suggest we all start texting the bus driver.

Tod, I have discovered that tea party folks or ultra-right conservatives don't exhibit much in the way of comprehension, but I believe the envy part applied to you and having backed losers and were envious of winners - just guessing.

I'm sort of old to be anyone's baby. Unless you were making some sort of sexual reference? Was that what you were doing, Tod? I'm a 62 year old married woman. As we used to say back in the day, I don't swing that way. Although if I did, she sounds just my type. But sounds like you might have some sort of "jones" for her yourself, Tod. Sorry, don't believe you are "her" type.

GOP Undecided - Are you aware of all the hatred directed at our POTUS? What do you think about that? As for Sarah, she is dumber than a box of rocks, but hate her no.

@GOP Undecided Are you 12 years old? You sure sound like it. Or, you live under a rock. Or, perhaps, you are senile? Give it a break.

Originally she was against the idea. Said she had already toured a bus and they are mostly all the same.

Do you have an alter to her and dickwad cheney in your cellar?

" I am certain he is lecturing some where on how evil America is."

My memory is not what it used to be. Will you please post some examples of some of these lectures from the past couple of years? I mean the ones where he says we are evil?

Thanks in advance, navyvet.

Unlike Obama she seems to focus on this country.

Yup, that's right. That's why she is just starting to learn history and geography. A kindergartner knows more about this country than she does.

Where is he now... not sure but I am certain he is lecturing some where on how evil America is.

What's the matter is your FOX NOISE Channel not coming in? They monitor every move the President makes.

Sarah Palin focuss on herself and only on herself. She has not in her entire career said one thing that is helpful to this country, that is a good course or a good path by any conceivably rational concept conservative or liberal.

President Obama has worked hard and accomplished a lot. He would have accomplished more without the Republicans pointless interference. The Republican party has one focus only ... serve it's big business and wealthy masters. If you are a multi-millionaire, continue on your selfish course but if you are not believe me you are being tricked into enslaving yourself. It's really that simple.

She sure focuses on her country and how much money she can make off of it!!

Another Palin lie. Come on people wake up. She is not qualified to be President of the United States.

However, I could see her as a manager of a rest stop area.

Well focus on book sales and her own bank account, surely. Oh and Obama? He's at the G-7 summit. (by the time Palin understood what that was and where Europe was, the party would be over.)

Where is he now... not sure but I am certain he is lecturing some where on how evil America is.

Well, today happens to be the first day of the annual G8 conference...President Obama is meeting with Prime Minister Cameron of the UK, President Medvedev of Russia, Prime Minister Harper of Canada, President Sarkozy of France, Prime Minister Berlusconi of Italy, Prime Minister Kan of Japan and Chancellor Merkel of Germany. It's kind of a big deal.

The rest of the week was planned state visits to Ireland and the UK.
