It is very funny that people assume she quit to run for President, she isn't and she is smarter than that. Those who think she's finished are really clueless. Theseare the same people who think she's dumb and Joe Biden is smart. I am neither pro or con about her but I like that she is not following the status quo.

As for the Republicans being in denial, perhaps so, but who can honestly still claim Obam is a good President, he is absolutley clueless without the puppetmasters telling him what to say and do, but he covers it with smugness and an aire of entitlement.

Nonesense! I for one, think and still think vehemently that Mr Obama is not only a good President but one of the best Presidents we have seen in this country for a long while. michaelmo7, you must be in a state of trance to think that Mr Obama is clueless without the puppetmasters. Tell me, who are those puppetmasters? Wake up from your deep sleep and smell the fresh day we are enjoying.

She's a wackjob. She probably doesn't know why she quit any more than anybody else.

"Most people now realize that Office of the President of the United States should not be occupied and run by an academically challenged
person, who is narrow-minded, and won't accept responsibility for one's actions!" But it is too late, they already voted for Obama.

Palin is just a perfect example of the far right nut jobs who populate the GOP now. This is the slow dissolution of the GOP as we know it. These crazies will eventually disappear into the South (mostly the Ozarks).

Hey you just go right on blaming EVERYONE else! LOL Just go right on insulting American's who KNOW the difference... I know that's helping your cause a LOT! LOL I watched and I listened... there was NO hatchet job. She lost because America rejected her Stay the Course approach to dealing with our economy and the problems we face.


You have NO ROOM to talk. You sit here and insult the other side all day long. Then you democrats bring up race and bigotry. That's all you think about. Obama HAS NOT DONE A DAM THING, the Democrats have not done a Dam thing in Congress and they have had control since 2007!! Wake up and smell the coffee, you blame the republicans for all of this mess when it has been proven over and over and over that there are democrats to blame as well. Some of them who are in high positions. So do not start your blaming game because you do it all the time too. You are a HYPOCRITE, SKYK

Let's place the blame squarely where it belongs, on the conservatives who brought this country to its knees.


Yes both parties did that. Both parties

Who was it that said 'ad hominium attacks are the last resort of the intellectually bankrupt'? I think it was one of the Huxley brothers but I can't remember which.

Sarah Palin, Mark Sandford, Rush Limbaugh:

Are they dumb or just plain stupid?

In this case, ad hominem attacks are just the result of being bored with the Witch of Wasilla, reaction to her hate speech, and not caring enough either way to bother with putting a lot of substantive arguments together since we did that over a year ago already. Now, we simply despise her. And to express that is enough. Furthermore, we don't care what you think and we're not trying to sway anyone. We simply call her like we see her - in this case, a bitter, neocon fascist quitter. I don't need to justify anything beyond that, because the evidence is already there for everyone to see. If you can't see it, it's certainly not my responsibility to correct you. You'll just have to dwell in your own little cache of idiocy and try to get along as best you can.

Well Dan, she might have missed your mark but that's only because you're disingenuous. As a media person you know perfectly well that Mrs. Palin's been hounded by puppets for the liberal establishment filing frivilous ethics charges. She stepped down to sue them. I hope she collects billions!

Wow. Great comments.

The once great Republican party is certainly in denial and decline.

A third "more Conservative" party is coming.

Boy, it's a good thing President Obama has a thicker skin than this woman. He's been called far worse (as many who write on this board can testify):

Terrorist. Foreigner. (Insert racist name here). He's heard 'em all and now is the President.

Quitters never win. Winners never quit.

Best of luck in your "ongoing" political career, Ms. Palin.

You'll need it.

Sarah Palin: She can start her own talk show similar to "A Prairie Home Companion on the Shores of Lake Wobegon", but for Republicans, and call it "A Lemming Home Companion on the Shores of Lake Woe-Be-Me."

On Sarah Palin: "There ain't no quit in Twitter, but there's plenty of twit in the Quitter."
