I cannot believe the fear that Sarah Palin strikes into the hearts of the liberals. She is everything they are not! She dose not need to rely on the government for anything and has inspired a lot of people.
Liberals need everything provided for them by the goverment and and not since Jimmy Carter has the nation been so uninspired!

Sarah certainly gets everyone worked up.Really shouldn't assume that only liberals dislike Sarah Palin.I'm liberal on some issues,conservative on others.Despite what anyone says personality does play a role in political campaigns.Palin's voice just goes through my head like fingernails on a chalkboard.She comes across to me as fake.You feel she's qualified to be President,she didn't even know what the vice-president's role is in regard to the Senate .

You are mistaken, I never said she is qualified to be president, however she is more qualified than Obama.
I am just pointing out just how much energy you libs spend on someone you consider stupid an unimportant!

Good comments here. I agree the media has made a mountain out of a molehill. The quality of media information has diminished so much that we have succumbed to the quality of electable candidates to those that we had.
McCain is bright, but isn't well connected to the common voting public. A common denominator was needed to make the ticket work. Much like Obama is more on Sarah's level and he needed a candidate that could bring up his ticket. I think he chose poorly too.
I continue to find it funny that the media retains so much attention on Sarah. As long as the majority of the voting public is influenced by this bleak news casting we will continue to have less than superior representation. Shoot, if she were the top of the Republican ticket there would have been a woman as president.

I wonder if Sarah Palin knows the famous White House party crashers' The Salahis? Cause it would seem that Sarah just walked into McCains' VP position the same way. No one seems to know how she got there or why? Damn she could have been armed and dangerous!

She is armed and dangerous.Armed with that fake folksy charm and dangerously conniving and power hungry.

Let me correct you. Yes Sarah is armed. It is her legal right to bear arms.
Dangerous? I sure hope so. This country has taken a wrong turn and it needs someone who is not afraid of speaking out and is willing to take on the radical left wing to turn it around and bring truth and justice back.
As far as the fake folksy charm, that is your opinion. I have a cousin who has a very similar persona and she is definitely not a fake. Very charming in fact.
Why attack someone for their personality. It's like saying Obama is stupid because he can't talk without his teleprompter and speech writers. I'm sure he is not stupid since he is a college grad. just uncomfortable speaking without them.
Sarah is genuine and that scares the heck out of most people because they are so darn used to the lies in politics . She is a breath of fresh air and I look forward to BIG changes. Go Sarah!
As far as the Today Show and Matt Lauer, I watch it every morning still knowing that the network is biased and unjust but God gave us brains to use, not the networks.

She could not even stick to one term as gov of Alaska.

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.......she is no better than all the other hot air balloons that get paid millions of dollars to stir up the ignorant, like Rush, O'Reilley.

Did you notice who the people were that showed up for the signing of that so called book she supposedly wrote? Housewives looking for a hero.

The interview with Katie Couric should be enough to confirm how little she knows and how much she talks. She has NOTHING to back up her big talk.

I believe in the right of every American to keep and bear arms, even Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin and the words "truth and justice"? Stop, please, you're making me laugh too hard.

I can't wait until she runs for President, preferably against President Obama. She will be trounced like the nothing politician that she is.

Afraid of Sarah Palin? That's such a funny statement. Run Sarah run! Please, announce tomorrow. Do us a favor. The Democrats want Palin to be the face of the Republican Party.

You forgot to say that Palin is also absolutely NOT qualified to be President of The United States of America. She is an embarrassment.
