Isn't this calling the kettle black? A millionaire calling the Bushes blue bloods? A millionaire that has divorced herself from real America? When the middle class in the country is in its final death throes? She needs some education and needs to learn to speak in some manner other than run on sentences. She wears on the nerves.
Palin is a sellout. Do people ever wonder why she started with great approval ratings in Alaska? Well... It was because she wasn't afraid to cross party lines to do what was best for Alaska. But now, she is a person who'll never cross her extremely-right Tea Party to do what she thinks is best for her. Pity... and to say that I used to like her.
To robo1415: PALIN HAS NOT WORKED FOR HER MONEY... she's just a manipulating, self-absorbed narcissist who has figured out a way to stir up her followers to buy her books and pay big bucks to listen to her spewing hatred rhetoric wrapped in patriotism, motherhood, and christianity. She'll say and do anything for a buck.
As a life long Republican and someone coming from a political family on New York's Upper West Side and having worked for the pollster Lou Harris I can sense blips in the radar screen. What I read above for me resembles a fight in the fish market over an over priced halibut. The wrong people were attacked and for another thing Babara Bush has no dog in this 2012 fight and should not have ordered Sarah Palin out of town.I would not bother attacking Michelle Obama, she is basically a third party in this and someone with no executive powers. While I do agree with Sarah Palin that the government should not orchestrate anyone's diet, I am a health nut and have not been in a fast food joint for 20 years. I also have never been sick and have never had a headache or a stomach ache. So my swimming and walking daily and healthy eating represents my full agreement with Michelle Obama's program although I would rather see it furthered in another way. Now we go to Sarah Palin's Blue Blood remark directed at George HW Bush who was the most qualified President with the best resume in history. He jumped out of a plane as he defended our country in WWll, was Director of the CIA and Ambassador to China. Some of that Blue Blood statement could be construed as having a modicum of validity but sometimes you have to be diplomatic when you are angry at someone.I am starting to see cannibalism among politicians sometimes in the same party and that is no good.I am also seeing some odd and unusual behavior and if the voters have not already perceived that they will soon if it continues.

which way is that? the way it's been so far ... since that's working so well?
there are a lot of things you cannont allow the masses to just 'do themselves'. with plenty of choices to do the 'less healthy' thing ... many will make those 'easy' choices ... to the detriment of the whole.
the 'unfettered market' ... in business ... and in society at large ... doesn't work. history ... some of it very recent ... shows this to be true.
Sarah Palin, George Bush, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama all share a common ancestor named Samuel Hinckley and his wife Sarah Toole who lived in 1700s in Massachusetts. Sarah needs to be careful who she calls blue blood because she is just as blue blood as Obama and the Bushes since they are all descendants of King Edward I of England.

----------------------------------
you're talking about another history.
sarah and those she's really speaking to thing the world is 10k years old.
real history ... and what's real ... doesn't really matter to them.
Laura Ingraham, Dr. Dobson, (after listening to Laura Ingraham's show bashing Senator McCain to the MAX), and Ann Coulter saying that Senator Clinton would be a better choice for President than Senator McCain was a factor in President Obama beating the Senator McCain and Governor Palin Ticket.
What Sarah Palin has in common with President Obama is the lack of political experience to be President. Sarah Palin lacks the business and economic experience that, for example, Governor Mitt Romney, Governor Jeb Bush, Governor Huckabee, and Congressman Ron Paul have. Sarah Palin is a nice lady, has nice ideas, but she should try to get a broader perspective of political experience before running for the office of the President. Maybe, being a Vice President, or a Governor for 4 WHOLE years.
Just stopping the Spending without raising Taxes is not the solution to the mess we are in! A over drastic reduction in spending will cut too many Government programs that are needed by people. This is why the Republicans are saying that we need to get back to the 2008 level of spending. Then, we will have to raise taxes a bit, and print money to solve the deficit. Sarah Palin's politics, and the Tea Party are too simplistic.
Governor Romney was my first choice in 2008, Senator McCain was a close second choice, and Congressman Ron Paul was my third choice. Either Jeb Bush or Sarah Palin would be good choices as Vice President for me...but Sarah Palin just does not have enough depth or political experience to be President at this time period.
The sad thing is she thinks she can BS her way though to the presidency. She is a star to base but she will never win independents. The independents I know thinks like Barbara Bush.
This "Elite Blue-blood" enlisted (yes enlisted, not drafted) for WWII. Bush, along with hundreds of thousands of other brave men and women put their lives in the cross-hairs for our freedoms we enjoy today.
While the spoiled brat baby boomers heap praise on their wonderful Toyota and Volkswagen cars and trucks. I can only hope they occasionally realize that if not for men like GH Bush they might be reading Japanese or German. The Owners manuals of these beloved Toyota's and VW's would not need to be translated to English for North American consumption.
For all of the crazy garbage that these baby boomer spew out of their mouths, I can't wait for the day they are gone.
She is like the popular, pretty, but terribly insecure girl in school who is c'nstantly exhorting, manipulating and bullying her clique to 'hate" anyone she has decided she 'hates'
This is like some schoolyard popularity contest to Palin. If someone criticizes or attacks her, all of the faithful must join in punishing the transgressors...the 'haters'...or they risk becoming targets themselves. For all her monumental ignorance, Sarah Palin does posses a very acute low animal cunning.
She knows how to divide...how to draw on people's fear, frustration, discontent, bigotry and yes...on their hate...and she knows how to direct and focus all that negative emotion. She offers no solutions, only perpetual criticism and new and rapidly changing targets
The focus changes frequently. I believe we're all supposed to be hating blue blood elites today, while continuing to despise educated types and all news organizations that are not FoxNews ...but the hate always remains.
The only reason the press continues to report on this grotesquely stupid nobody is because she and her family are such a freak show. She always gets a reaction from everybody. Me included, I'm afraid. She's the American we most love to hate. You betcha!
I don't get T.V. reception, so it isn't me. I have heard that Sarah Palin's show on Alaska has a #1 rating, and that she is getting $1 Million per show.
I'll take a Blue Blood over this ignorant freak any day of the week. Blue Bloods actually know the difference between the two Koreas, while losers like Palin take 6 years and 4 nowhere schools to graduate from college.
Froter, I believe that you are correct that Sarah Palin would make an excellent president, and that is the problem.
However, being objective, she does not have as much experience as Mitt Romney nor his likely running mate, Jeb Bush, so I think the best way forward for Palin is to get experience in the administration of Mitt Romney.
Although Palin and Romney view each other as competitors, they would be stronger working on the same team together, as they and Jeb Bush are close philosophical and political soul-mates.
Palin is in her mid-40s; so after Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush are through with their administrations, with the experience that Palin would gain in their administrations, I am fairly certain that she would have a better shot than anyone in getting elected president of the United States.
I, too, believe in God. We can ask him for what we want, but he is in control of what, if and when it happens. I hope that Sarah Palin will think about that and do the right thing for America, for herself, and for her ideals.
There are few people who believe as strongly as Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush that we have to do something about America's huge national debt.
On the other hand, a Hillary Clinton as president does not bother me, at all, as I think she is a responsible Democrat, and there are other Democrats that I would feel comfortable with; nevertheless, I am weary of President Obama's radical socialist agenda and the explosion of the debt of the United States government. It seems to be a recipe for a financial disaster and a coming inflation that will shock most Americans, when we get through with the current slight deflation.
I sincerely hope that our elected officials, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents will stop posturing for the 2012 presidential election and actually compromise on our pressing national issues. Without compromise, our economy, standing in the world, and our national debt will not come back to normal levels, like those of Canada, Brazil, Chile and Singapore did.
First thing, Congressional Republicans, Democrats, and Independents need to pass the tax and debt reduction recommendations of the recent bi-partisan Presidential Commission. We are in an economic [debt] mess that is out of control, and we have to turn it around, now. [If not now, when?] Then President Obama needs to sign the law. Of course, that would require that Republicans, Democrats, Independents and our Commander-in-chief all do what is right for the United States, instead of what gets them re-elected.
Either "business as usual" is now over in Washington, D.C., or soon, we are going to be very unhappy American campers as to what happens to the United States dollar, our economy, and the standing of our nation in the world, when the United States dollar is no longer the world's currency for settlement of trades.
If we allow that to happen, there will be nothing under the United States dollar but air.

yea ... that road to financial disaster started in 2009. what's the matter with you? only an ignorant moron would believe that there's only been one 'drunken sailor' spending money we don't have in the last thirty years.
Have you seen her home? I assure you it's no single wide! It's a very nice two story home and it's not in any way a trailor! And another thing, I would not be at all surprised if the Palins didn't build another, much bigger home soon after they receive payment for Sarah's new book and her new tv show.
They are proving to be quite the "trashy" elite ... Bristol Palin proved that beyond the shadow of a doubt recently when she stated on live TV that "winning Dancing with the Stars" would be like giving the middle finger to folks that hate me and my mom". And then her daughter Willow using foul language on Facebook. How trashy! Sarah is raising her daughters to be bigoted, self-absorbed, spoiled brats just like she is. Can you imagine a family like this in the White House?? They have no dignity or class.

For Sarah Palin, hate is the one true constant.
Both of them are too polarizing in their politics.

I can see Sarah standing on the steps of her single wide saying "Next"...
