Going Rouge

This Republican v. Democrat crap is getting freakin' annoying.

It certainly is - my dislike of Palin isn't because she's a Republican. It's because I strongly disagree with her opinions, tactics, and find her supremely ill suited for a national position.

I've never voted for just one party's candidates in any election - due to my strange habit of actually researching and then voting for the best candidate.

A better campaign and VP choice and I might have voted for McCain instead of Obama - and I am still hoping McCain takes a big role in a Washington that is truly interested in reform and bipartisanship.

P.S. Wild game is much better paired with roasted red potatoes or wild rice - yet another area in which I disagree with Palin

From the six or so people I know who live in that state now, none were sorry to see her go, and she left a bundle of problems, but as you said, or someone said, she left a surplus which was actually from the oil people and is left each year, Of course the last NATIONAL surplus left in the US was by a democrat, Bill Clinton! And who squandered it? A republican over the course of a few months as he gutted our economy or allowed that to happen, watched NY attacked while he crabbed about too much work in Crawfordsville, then attacked a sovergeign nation the wrong one I believe) and left us in economic ruins as he did that other country in complete chaos and ruin. Rabid? Damn right! And sick of the whining, fawning "good ole boy" party of negativism, corruption, greed, rascism, demagogery, sexist hypocrits that Dirksen, Romney's dad, and Lincoln would find repulsive. Yeah, run Palin or Huckster or whomever.....cowtow to the ultra conservative wingnut end of the party, the fake ultra religious, the talking heads and watch us slide backwards into the stone age. Just my humble opinion, of course.

Romney's father spoke ill of the Vietnam War and was sacked by repubs. Romney Jr.??? He's not the right kind of christian.....

I thought she handled herself extremely well on Oprah. I am afraid of her. Or more specifically- I am afraid of the masses of folks who believe she should be POTUS...

I think she did as well......with Barbra Walters, too. I don't think her year is 2012. Much later down the road.

I am excited about a female President, however!

It's not just the locals, it's the enitre democrat party. They are rabid!

And the soft cuddly republican party have had nothing but afternoon tea parties for Clinton and Pelosi.......

Maybe she will propose Stimulus III and win you over.

That surplus had little to do with her and much to do with oil and a good economy. She quit before we could see if she could still govern when money wasn't pouring in.

Also worth noting that everyone who lives in Alaska for a year gets over a thousand dollars a year from oil dividends. Native alaskans can earn tens of thousands a year from funds and also get free health care. A large amount also pays for scholarships and charities.

That provides a social safety net that eliminates many of the problems other governors (or presidents) have to deal with.

I do think Palin was initially an effective governor of Alaska (a very unique place), but once she got a taste of power and national celebrity things went downhill fast.................not helped by national media attention revealing some of her less than stellar staff and budget decisions.

She does not have the basic knowledge, critical thinking, or people skills necessary to be President


I have more experience to be president than that Sarah "lady". All of those right wing guys who don't believe in a woman's choice should notice that those Boo.....s have gone down quite a bit. I would have probably voted for McCain with someone other than Palin. She isn't even helping Lens Crafters these days. Someone other than the Republican Party must be purchasing her clothes.

Palin, go home and take care of your little one.

Because a woman's place is at home, barefoot and pregnant?

And do you see all those trucks sporting her stickers on them down here. Now that's scarey and Haloween is over.

NO, that doesn't and hasn't ever entered my mind being a woman who spent over 30 years in a military uniform and civilian clothes working for Deparatment of Defense.

She has a needy child that needs her. She made her choice, spoke about it, and flaunted it around the country. And she does not believe in other women's choices.....that's hypocritical.
