Right now I'd vote for my hound over our current figurehead.

That being said let's hope the vetting process is thorough for whoever they give us.
Don't need popular, we need good.

Actually, there were two reason why she quit her job: 1) The frivolous ethics complaints prevented her from doing her job as Governor of Alaska; and 2) In a six month period she accumulated over $500,000 in legal fees.

How long would you stay at a job that: 1) you weren't allowed to perform because of other frivolous distractions; and 2) cost you eight times more than you made from the job? Not long I would imagine.

In Friday's press conference announcing that she'd step down as governor a year before her term ended, Sarah Palin made a point to mention the ethics charges that bogged her down in office. Fifteen probes took up her time, her money (she's $500,000 in the hole in legal fees), and $2 million in taxpayer resources. "We've won!" she crowed, going on to lament the cost of her victories. "That's money not going to fund teachers or troopers — or safer roads. And this political absurdity, the 'politics of personal destruction' ... It's pretty insane — my staff and I spend most of our day dealing with this instead of progressing our state now."http://www.adn.com/2010/06/24/1339431/settlement-of-ethics-complaint.html

Exactly right, she felt she was allowing her position to suffer from these distractions. Distractions that she COULD NOT WALK away from so it came down to what was best for the state. She was going broke and needed to raise funds to turn that around. Shes hardly a quitter, this was actually a very smart and responsible move on her part.
What would have been said about her had she stayed and allowed the state to suffer without her full attention to business?

Some folks on here have made issue with her not having any experience for the job. So what kind did Obooboo have???????????? ZERO!!!!!!!

He was put into office by the likes of George Sorry Azz, and Bomber Ayers. Dang at least she's been in the mix, he's nothing but an empty suit who needs a teleprompter to talk. I may not agree with everything about her, but I don't see much else the RINO's have to offer up, and I imagine that the demicraps won't be backing ****oo again, I'd watch out for Queen Hitlery as being on the demicrap ticket again, or even worse the Wicked Witch of the West!!!!

Personally, I am ready for a candidate that feels the rights, concerns, and safety of this country supersede all other issues. It gets kind of tiresome to hear about our country spending so much money to stimulate and help the economies of other countries while ours is suffering. I would personally like a candidate that is not concerned with feel-good politics, but rather one that considers what is in the best interest of our nation, not other nations.

Where's GWB when you need him?

Two things about Sarah Palin:

First, the Democrats attach what they fear the most with the intent of tearing that person down and reducing their chances of any success.

The Democrats have continually attacked Sarah since she came on the scene. If she had not been on McCains ticket, Hussains win would have been by a much larger margin. She got folks motivated with her folksy ways. She also got them motivated with her distinctly conservative ideals.

Second, those distinctly conservative ideals. Have you really listened to what she says in speaking about her conservative views. She is right there with Regan.

Remember when Regan first announced that he was going to run for president? Remember how the media tried to tear him down, saying he was a lightweight, former actor who never could make a decent president. He went on to be arguably the best president in the last 200 years.

Perhaps Palin wont rise to that level, but if we realize that it won't be long before we elect a female president and there is no reason she should not be the first. Much better than Billary.

I think folks tend to view her as a light weight because of her folksy ways, but she is no lightweight when it comes to conservative views and not being afraid to stand up for them. We do need some Rino from inside the Beltway in the Oval office.

JMHO

That's part of the point. Many believe Reagan was the ultimate RINO, and was not at all conservative in many points of his politics.

He went on to be arguably the best president in the last 200 years.

Yes, lots of argument there.

Hear what you are saying, but what I am saying is that just because our current POTUS has no experience doesnt make that a new qualification. WE NEED A POTUS THAT KNOWS WHATS UP.

I can't figure out why everyone hates her. I don't know if I like her or not, but I can't understand the hate.

Libs are scared of her because she is culturally from anothe rplanet.
Republicans and the entrenched power structure fears her becuase she cleaned house in Alaska (a very corrupt state). She takes on anyone crooks, regardless of party. That is why KArl Rove etc are so scared of her (not calling KArl Rove a crook, but he represents the republican elite).

Saudis ar escared of her becuase she (and Bobby Jindal) are the only politicians who have cleaned house, and will likely not take SAudi money and continue the current situation.
All other politicians will.

I'd walk 50 miles to vote for Sarah or Bobby.
