Is Sarah Palin going to run in 2012 and, if so, will she hurt the GOP?

i think Sarah is better than what we got but then again I think I am better than what we got.

I would really like to see her run the RNC but I think she has her sights set higer

50-50 whether she runs or not. If she does run, she won't win the nomination.

she's a plus for the GOP in either case because the left focuses all their anger and hatred on her. she will draw all the fire making the others appear far more palatable. when Palin doesn't run or when she doesn't get nominated, then what will the left do? it's a strategic blunder for the left to go full-on bat shit crazy over Palin.

perry would be good, pallin nice person, but highly unqualified. there are a bunch of good ones out there like gingritch, palenta and hiillary clinton. they could all do a great job. i happen to think that newt gingritch is extremely sharp and really knows what is going on around him.

If Mrs. Palin wins the nomination I will support her 100%. However, she may not be a strong enough candidate to run and win against BO.
I would like to see her run and participate in the debates, I think she will bring alot to the table that all the candidates will have to address. If she is not on the ticket and a Republican wins, I would like to see her get a top level position in the new administration.
Whatever happens in 2012, I hope Mrs. Palin is a part of the American political scene for many years to come :ThmbUp:

Based on the choices available, I think it very apparent that Republicans know she would hurt their chances and the Democtrats know she would be "the gift that keeps on giving"!

Anyone capable of becoming a Governor obviously has "something" going for them and she apparently has a kind of grassroots appeal where people feel she is one of them, but in my opinion she is way out of her depth when it comes to being President.

I can't see her getting the nomination, but in the absence of anyone else, maybe. (She's probably smart enough to know that she'd be only hurting any future ambitions.)

I think the next Repub has not been found yet and will have broad appeal to independents. We also need an optimist who talks of a bright future, of America's greatness, and isn't all about what's wrong with this, that, & the other. (Why anyone supports an American president that continually attacks Americans is beyond me.) Either BO will win a close one against a lame candidate or he'll get demolished by a good candidate. But who knows, things change fast...

I am amazed when people talk about Palin being unqualified for the presidency. looking at Obama's qualifications (he had none), you really can't use that argument. Personally I would not have any concern about Palin as president. I simply don't think she'll get to that point.

I will support whoever the Republican nominee turns out to be. ANYBODY but Obama is my mantra.

Yeah, she could have stayed in office and ignored her duties, just like OBAMA did for his campaign,right? Went on the road and totally ignored his state.

Bottom line, she moved on to bigger and better tings and quit on no one - she served her party and her country well in the last elections with all her victorious endorsement.

The normal cycle is a little behind, actually. But now that there is a Repub house and extended tax cuts, it should catch up. Businesses are no longer afraid of cap and trade etc. They don't think they will get through the house. Obama has made one huge mistake though. He should have made the tax cuts for 3 years. Now the tax cuts will be a huge part of the campaign. Could be a game changer.

Palin is popular with the party base. I would like to see her run for the nomination. I doubt the republican party chiefs will give their blessing to Palin.The primaries will tell the story right away if she runs. Romney,Huckabee,Gingrich,Pawlenty,Thune, Barbour and other usual suspects do not appear they can win the nomination or the election against Obama.
Have this feeling that a dark horse is waiting in the wings. No one thought Obama would run or be the nominee at this stage of the game last time around. There are some bright Congressmen,Senators and Governors that no one is mentioning[neither will I] that if the right circumstances happens could give Obama a run for his money. It all depends on the economy.

Irony is wasted on the stupid

Irony (from the Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία eirōneía, meaning dissimulation or feigned ignorance)[1] is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or situation in which there is a sharp incongruity or discordance that goes beyond the simple and evident intention of words or actions. Ironic statements (verbal irony) often convey a meaning exactly opposite from their literal meaning. In ironic situations (situational irony), actions often have an effect exactly opposite from what is intended. The discordance of verbal irony is created as a means of communication (as in art or rhetoric). Descriptions or depictions of situational and dramatic ironies, whether in fiction or in non-fiction, serve a communicative function of sharpening or highlighting certain discordant features of reality.

Just the fact that she is a paid contributor to FAUX should demonstrate that Faux cannot be an honest broker. And that she accepts this arrangement, that she is fearful of being out there.

She will never be prez. Better and safer to hide and snipe from cover. You guys may hate Obama, but he has more guts and smarts in his back pocket than Palin will ever have. I don't think a Obama/Palin presidential debate would be to her advantage.

I wonder if she had a problem with the Dems putting targets(bulls eye) on the districts that Bush had won by single digits. It's always different when the shoe is on the other foot. I don't have a problem with either. Only an idiot would think that it meant go out and kill someone in that district. Too many people, on BOTH sides, are trying to point fingers. Remember, when you point your finger at someone, there are 3 fingers pointing back at you. I wish Gabby a speedy recovery. She is one of the smartest of the Dems, as she had the good sense to vote against N.P. for minority leader.

It's two separate crimes. 2 different victims. you equating the actual shooting to the rhetorical libel that has been bandied about, is in itself the reason why the libel gets the play it does.

These are two totally different issues that occupy two totally different spheres of our lives. Yet you taking a backhanded shot at Palin the way you did above, shows that you allow the co-mingling of the issues as if they are related in any way. They are not. One is a real physical event, the rhetoric is a political action being played out in the papers and the airwaves with a goal of undercutting a political position. The lies and deceptions entailed in the latter have no relevant bearing on the shooting. They are in no way connected yet you draw the connection in your post, as if they are linked in some way.

This is the underpinning of true misanthropic propaganda. Drawing together issues that really have no true connection to make a political statement. That is the core of the discussion and you fail to perceive it or make a conscious effort to continue the practice. Which is it ?

She blew it. Apolitical blunder from a tone deaf politician. Only the base is supporting her. I think she is going to have a hard time regaining the middle.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/145664/Boehner-Favorability-Jumps-Obama-Back-Above.aspx

"One possible factor in Palin's further fall from favor is her response to the shooting in Tucson. Gallup released the findings on the same day as two other polls that found that a plurality of Americans disapproved of Palin's response to the Tucson shooting spree.

In the wake of the attacks, many pundits mentioned Palin as an example of overheated political rhetoric, citing in particular her now infamous gun sights map. Palin responded by releasing an online video accusing her critics of "blood libel," and fighting back against the criticism leveled against her."

Dear Sarah,

Not too cool. Blood libel is the anti Semitic claim that Jews murder Christian babies to use their blood for rituals such as making matzoh.

Nice one Sarah!

Sarah you’re not Jewish, and Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is. So right of the bat you should have dumped the Blood libel crap. This is why you will never be more than a 1/2 term totally inept governor.

But I could be mistaken.

Maybe Cohen calling the repugs Nazi propagandists is a bit worse worse than a tone deaf politician using the "victim card" inappropriately and insulting an ethic group on a sensitive issue she had no right to co-opt as though she was the target of Nazis style propagandists.

"Blood libel" is a historically anti-Semetic term that was used to accuse Jews of murdering Christian children in order to use their blood in religious ceremonies. Cohen may have insulted the rethugs, But Sarah dumb--ass insulted Jews

All sorts of name calling goes on in the POLITICAL bounds of congress. Before Cohen there was an endless back and forth of all sorts of remarks. But Palin crossed the line out there in a public arena, and screwed up her last chances of a political future.

So you don't vote for Cohen, and now the remaining independents already not to impressed with Palin ain't gonna vote for Momma Grisly no more.

Unreal. Ya'll spent over two years telling anyone you run into that she's a raging idiot and then for any episode you gather 'round people like Colbert & Stewart to
explain to you how she's an idiot again & again.

It always amazes me that you guys are so blind to Palins' flaws.

Way back durng the '08 election
Joe Scarborough said:

"If she can't answer basic questions, that's tough. Katie did not ask her tough questions, her questions were very fair. Apparently Katie asked her, "what's the worst thing Dick Cheney did", and she answered "Shooting his friend with the gun". Us Elections aren't a meritocracy, about picking the most qualified people, it's obvious she has very little knowledge of US facts. She may be a good person and a good governor, she has also has a high approval rating, but is this is the best person you can find for Vice President? but what does this say about Palin and McCain's judgment?"

I will admit she has boned up on some things, but a national leader needs more than a sketchy synopsis of history, world affairs and economics. Palin is the "Classic Comic" scholar of the right.

Unlike yourself, who took every moment to post every downward tick of Bush's approval rating, almost on a WEEKLY basis. I don't think you've once posted anything about Obama's plunging approval ratings.

Absolutely wrong. I was there - I saw it unfold. The race was to get the first man in space. We lost. Then it was to orbit the planet. Then it was to get to the moon. This biggest race was to get a man into space and bring him back - and we lost it. We outperformed Russian eventually, but we did NOT beat them into space. The headlines were gloom and doom when they put the man up and brought him back ahead of us.

We have a long way to go in the space race. We started late. But this is the new ocean, and I believe the United States must sail on it and be in a position second to none.

President John F. Kennedy, 1962

Finally, if we are to win the battle that is now going on around the world between freedom and tyranny, the dramatic achievements in space which occurred in recent weeks should have made clear to us all, as did the Sputnik in 1957, the impact of this adventure on the minds of men everywhere....

Absolutely wrong. I was there - I saw it unfold. The race was to get the first man in space. We lost. Then it was to orbit the planet. Then it was to get to the moon. This biggest race was to get a man into space and bring him back - and we lost it. We outperformed Russian eventually, but we did NOT beat them into space. The headlines were gloom and doom when they put the man up and brought him back ahead of us.

IMHO Tom and "I was there" (shout out to Murrow):ThmbUp: too, I believe you are mostly correct. Technically, the Nazis, of course, won the space war in 1942-43 at Peenemunde with the first rocket outside the earth's atmposphere. This quickly morphed into a weapon of mass destruction (the V2s), that were able to take advantage of super sonic speed and then drop to earth largely over England.

Post war, the USSR & USA divied up the Nazi scientists. In 1955, Eisenhower gave the nod that the USA would have satellites in space between 1957-1958. But he diddled, instead of going full steam ahead and Von Braun's group was told that the first rockets were going to the military side. Tipped off, the USSR and its top scientist Sergey Korolyov pressed ahead.

The launches of Sputnik, then Laika and finally Yuri Gagarin were the initial 1-2-3- you're out punch that put the idea out there that America was a nation of scientific dunces. The responses were manifold:

1) A huge infusion of cash into US public scientific education;
2) The absurd military, ratchetting up of atomic missles, ICBMs to wipe out the earth 1,000 x over and their corollary (the peace and environmental movements);
3) The all or nothing catch up moment of JFK in 1962 (?)- the race to the moon by the end of the decade. With Armstrong, the U.S. won the big propaganda prize of manned space flight to another planet.

Finally, things settled down in 1975 and turned to the joint space labs.

As a kid, I used to write both NASA and the Russian Embassy in Ottawa for stuff on manned space. (I still have it.) BOTH- always complied, although the Soviets were heavy on the propaganda side! ;) On the humorous side, I believe the Mounties showed up once at the door and spoke to my mother about who in the household was contacting the Commies & the Russian embassy! :lol: :rolleyes:

Although not religious in the traditional way, I am very sensitive to cultural slurs and the long rather ugly history of Jewish persecution particularly at the hands of so-called Christians.

Growing up in NYC, I was not exposed to very much anti-semitism, and until I ventured out into middle America back in the 60s' and 70's, did not realize just how much still existed in places I only read about. And for the first time became a direct recipient of long standing hatred simply because of my religion and background. Until someone would ask "what church do you go to", I was safe among people who had otherwise accepted me but whose underlying bias was still surprisingly strong and quite apparent when I would answer I am Jewish.

Since then I can't say i have cme accross much more living again in the northeast just north of NYC, among a very mixes ethnic community, but I haven't ever gotten past the idiocy of bigots and don't take kindly to ANY.

I had the opportunity to work with a group of very talented Jewish artists preparing a project for the opening of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in the early 90;s. Did not know much about the details of the Holocaust other than relatives who were victims and their stories of their mothers fathers and siblings who had paid for their Judaism with their lives. Learning the inhuman details of just how they paid was not easy or pleasant. But I was responsible for the practical side of the various projects and could not do otherwise. One of the projects worked on was the myths and absurd ugly legends created by European Christianity to demean and ostracize the Jews of the Ghettos and justify all sorts of persecution. Blood libel was one of the absurdities that I did not know about until then. One of the worst in the long history of anti-semitism,

My reaction here not so much to Palin who I dislike with a passion, was more to the assumption that I had somehow manufactured outrage to the inappropriate use of "blood libel" That I had simply used Palins' statement to score political points.

From Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_libel

In general, the libel alleged something like this:
A child, normally a boy who had not yet reached puberty, was kidnapped or sometimes bought and taken to a hidden place (the house of a prominent member of the Jewish community, a synagogue, a cellar, etc.) where he would be kept hidden until the time of his death. Preparations for the sacrifice included the gathering of attendees from near and far and constructing or readying the instruments of torture and execution.[citation needed] At the time of the sacrifice (usually night), the crowd would gather at the place of execution (in some accounts the synagogue itself) and engage in a mock tribunal to try the child. The boy would be presented to the tribunal naked and tied (sometimes gagged) at the judge's order. He would eventually be condemned to death. Many forms of torture would be inflicted during the boy's "trial", including some of those actually used by the Inquisition on suspects of heresy. Some of the alleged tortures were mutilation (including circumcision), piercing with needles, punching, slapping, strangulation, strappado and whipping, while being insulted and mocked throughout.

How long have you had this problem of relating to logically sound analogies? But critical thinking was never your forte, was it?

And you know, 'cap, I have to wonder at this -- that if you are really so interested in YOUR people, and you have such a concern for YOUR people, how come you haven't moved to Israel to be in YOUR homeland with YOUR people? And how come you have rejected the scriptures that have been handed down to mankind by YOUR people -- the Jews who have been entrusted with the oracles of God?

Palin holds no office. What she says has no bearing on DC matters unless you susbscribe that she's a wizard behind a curtain or some shit. Which is something only a paranoid little girl or coward would fabricate in one's mind.....There's a particular poster here that fits that bill.

I understand your point and will offer this. Palin was almost a heartbeat away from being the President. Most sane people find that more than terrifying. Being fixated on Palin until she is no longer potentially a candidate in 2012 is not only the right thing to do, it's the patriotic thing to do IMO.

What delusional thought.

How 'bout you gettin' real patriotic and fixated in a John Hinkley, Sirhan, Oswald sorta way? That'll alleviate any not only '12 but '16, '20 & on.

What a dolt.

Palin is very much a public figure and her every incoherent mumbling is held in high regard by the far right base of the rethugs and a good portion of the Tea Party. She attracts almost all of the PA CADRE as some mythic political figure. Makes one cringe witnessing the hero(ine) worship of slavish grown men At times the unadulterated tongue wagging here is God awful pathetic.

She has put herself out there as a liberul killer and is brought up here as some sort of wonder woman. Has easily replaced Ann Coulter as the PA Cadre pin up girl. She is as fair game as any political figure, man or woman.

Lame point kabong.

What amazes me is the complete and total set of blinders worn by the right of PA off topic. There has been a constant barrage of anti-left, anti-liberal, anti-Obama postings, some quite vile and obnoxious with all sorts of infantile language- much worse- than "whining little bitch" (having originated by the right here) going on for a years. And the few liberals remaining have been insulted if they have the nerve to object.

Words and phrases that were perfectly acceptable launched from the right become "shocking" and "vile" when the favor is returned in kind.

I don't feel like lying down and taking the crap. I will use the same language, same rhetoric as good as I get.

Tough shit guys. Grow up and grow a set.

Look at this raging loon. Guy whines for days and asks others to grow a pair.

Not only is this moron like an old man who sent his matzah ball soup back in a deli. He does it and then mocks the busboy, the dishwasher, the cook, the waitress and management after doing so. By the time his soup has come back it's been spit in so many times legions are rootin' for his illness. Once word reaches others they want his ass kicked out for being a pain in the ass nuisance.

What chutzpah on this dunce.

Grow a pair. What a laugh coming from this whine ass.

Can't quite figure out what just set you off on an old Jewish man in a deli joke. My only conclusion is I was mistaken and spoke to soon assuming Palin is your main squeeze.

YOU still love Ann !

Sorry, but do try to calm down.

When I said "Tough shit guys. Grow up and grow a set", funny you should think Matzah balls.

Any good delis out there in Cucamonga? Go out and treat yourself to some home style kneydlekh. (Good delis leave in some of the schmaltz and even put in the chopped liver)

There was quite the ABUNDANCE of anti-right, anti-conservative and anti-Bush postings. In fact, we had one member here THREATENING many of the so called PA Cadre with FOIA requests to reveal PERSONAL DETAILS about them...talk about VILE AND OBNOXIOUS.

So if you now can't take what LITTLE HEAT there is (and believe me, it is FAR LESS than the good ol' Bush days), get the **** out of the kitchen!

I haven't seen Mack go into hissy fits over a woman's views or opinions. You OTOH.....

In all honesty, you are the most whiney bitchy personality I've come across in any way shape or form. For years you bitched and moaned about W, Cheney and the way they ran the country. Vile, hateful shit you posted that was beyond bad taste.

Now that a dem is in the WH, and dems own the senate, you find a 40-something woman to take the place of that corner of your mind that houses the boogeyman, now boogeywoman. You need something to hate (a lot)....It's that simple.

Palin doesn't affect policy. She doesn't hold office. She's a tv personality for now, nothing more. Only a turdwrestling mental midget with anger issues gets worked up over someone without power to exact change.

In the most calm tone I can muster, "you need some help, dude". So many issues with your whiney posts it's pathetic. The term "never fight down" doesn't seem to register with you. A 40 yr old woman that holds no office has your brain in a hateful rage. That's pathetic.

I'm a day late and a dollar short to this party. Yesterday, Mitt Romney announced he would be throwing his hat in the ring. I think that could be a great thing to be honest. The problem there is they are going to question his being a Mormon....well that's kind of laughable considering Obama's background in religion.

All I'm going to say about Sarah Palin is that she graduated from the University of Idaho in Moscow with honors, and I'm sure she can spell BOO. She isn't given enough credit for being the crafty broad she is.

I'm very disappointed in the current administration, but then again I didn't vote for Obama and never would have.

This is just some info put out there for you to chew on about Romney. I think he would make a stellar candidate, and I have no problem with Palin being on the ticket. OK, you are free to roast me now.

I would not vote for any republican-I don't think-but I do like Romney. He would do better without Palin tho'. Her popularity is dismal except among the far right base.

Problem here is as you will soon discover, IS he is a "Rino" But for the repugs to win they need one.

Someone on here (or possibly another site I go to) posits that Obama has a 60/40 chance of being re-elected in 2012 the way things are now going. My feeling is that a ticket with Romney on top and ABP (anybody but Palin) on the bottom would be a pick-em.

Republicans have not exactly had a great ROI with the "new faces" they keep trotting out, i.e., Jindal, Ryan.

The thought of Obama being re-elected creeps me out to be honest. I don't think Palin would make a bad VP to be honest. I think she's lots smarter than people give her credit for, and I like Romney a lot. I think trotting out new faces is just wrong in this upcoming election. Hey there, I saw a new face in Obama, and look where it got people. Maybe it's time to go back to basics. Just because you supported a man once doesn't mean you can't back him again.

I don't like Obama and I don't like Hillary, or anyone making decisions right now. I would rather look at a ticket with Palin on it anyday of the week then one with Hillary on it. Biden...well he's just a joke.

It has far more to do with the lack of people of substance -- of any moral authority. The Republican establishment is about as morally bankrupt as the their buddies on the other side of the aisle. The last thing the Repugs need to do is trot out a chorus line of tired, establishment retreads for candidates. This country is screaming for a genuine leader, but I don't see any yet. Although, I'm intrigued by The Donald due to his extensive business savvy.

What I don't like about Rommney is that since he dropped out last time he retreated to the sidelines and has contributed nothing. Look what Palin has done in the interim, she's been a leader and confronted the regime on everything while Mittens is on the sidelines drinking hot cocoa and keeping his hair unmussed.
