Why? Palin won't be in it, she just bailed on her state for no good reason.

Sarah Palin is a loser and a quiter...

She mentioned during her speech about being a lame duck. How can you be a lame duck in your first term? It seems obvious that she wants to run for president, but wouldn't it make more sense to continue as governor to gain more political experience?

If her goal is to run for Prez then this was the absolute worst thing she could do. She bailed on a state that is having just as many problems as every other state right now.

She went off on so many tangents in that speech today that it's impossible to really understand exctly why she is quitting. At one point she tried to describe the pressure she's feeling as a "nationwide full court press". Say what? Maybe people in Alaska are pressuring her to do some things but there isn't any "nationwide" pressure on her to do anything.

Another attempted point she tried to make was that she has accomplished everything she wanted to accomplish in 2 1/2 years, leaving the impression that there's nothing important left for her to do as governor. Say what again?

She's dumb.

[MonoxideChild]

she resigned because of all the money that has been going into her other political commitments and because they was jus too wuff wif her wittle baby. I think she stepped down because she was never under scrutiny before the last race, and now every move she makes is a big deal. She's afraid to make a mistake. Or maybe she's helping out with her husbands redneck brigade that wanna secede from the U.S. and wish that nothing good happens to the rest of us.

North Korea fires what 7 missles because our "president" is a weak and useless appeaser, and this is all you guys want to talk about? Go figure.


It's all good though, if NK fires a missle at Alaska Obama says we have "options".....

Wow! "Options", how intimidating!

APOLOGIES FOR INTERUPTING THIS PROGRAM

Whats there to talk about NK's death wish? Because that's what it will be if we even sniff thay are willing to carry out any nonsense. NK is a small actor on big big stage. This applies to NK-

"If you can't run with the big dog's stay on the porch, however if you leave the porch and get turned into a charcoal briquette you only have yourself to blame."

YOU MAY NOW CONTINUE WITH YOUR NORMAL PROGRAMMING

This may be true. However, there would be no doubt about it if Bush was still in office.


NK continues to grow louder in their saber rattles. This will continue because the "president" is an apppeasing sissy.

You know his, "we offer you our hand if you uncleanch your fist" remark? NONSENSE!

That commment is a perfect illustration of a liberal who has not a clue. You know, "well, if we are nice an appoligize for our wrongs" they will like us and we can have peace throughout the world. I wonder if Obama will try to "change" the national Anthem to John Lenin's "Imagine". Just image NB, just imagine!

KJI is making a mockery out of our country. So is Iran. Obama, the gutless, and clueless appeaser is the reason why. I bet deep down you are wishing McSame was in office, huh San An? Be honest.

[SUPDOG]

anyway, you guys are right. What Palin does is much more important! What a convienient distraction!

How nice. Not a Disciple has been MIA since the election and his first thread is about Palin. Naw, never mind the unprecedented spending, never mind the Cap and Tax, never mind the foreign policy joke Obama is, etc. Nope, Palin. I wonder if Not a Disciple can give us a critique of her clothing before he runs back to the safety of the Sports Bar?

Just like I said, he voted based on race and emotion and has not a clue! NOTHING MORE. I hope your libs are still "feeling good", because the evil is about to kick in!!!!

Just like I told you it would.



Next stop on the liberal trolly: "well, well, but, but, under Bush__________"\


book it.

Mr. Wing-nut, what would Palin or Bush do under the same circumstances??

Didn'T NK fire missiles last 4Th of July, when Bush was in office..? I guess NK knew before the American public that Obama would be elected...
I see no threads or comments about that, but hey we are in America... We have freedom or selectivity...

Should we 'book' the spin you are about to throw at...???
