This blog entry by Daniel hannan, http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/danielhannan/100005985/could-the-american-revolution-have-been-avoided/

gives pause for thought. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan rescued the “special relationship” from the fallout of the Suez Crisis. I propose that the duo of Daniel Hannan and Sarah Palin can rescue the “special relationship” from the odiousness of those currently in #10 Downing street and the Oval Office. There will be others, no doubt, but none
higher in priority than Hannan and Palin. For Hannan is setting the pace of change in Great Britain.

With the campaign trail to begin, there will be no shortage of political yard signs in every neighborhood.

Why can’t a woman be, all things? intelligent,beautiful,a leader and President?!

Being attractive is a plus+ and as a woman. I think that it is other women & sexist men who take issue and call women like Sarah Palin,a bimbo. Hoe sad-

86. Crancocc:

Let’s see, vivo gives 7 good reasons. You give “ignoramus” and “hole.” Tough choice. I’m trying to determine who between you two knows more about the issue and who has spent more time thinking about the people and philosophies and actions involved. Hmm. OK, you sold me, Crancocc. Wow, how do you conservatives do it? I see the light. I do. All it took was the immutable voice of passion and reason, and you got it. You got it and you’re stuck with it. I wish I had it. But not everybody can handle it. You can. You’re wonderful. You’re wonderful and you know it. The whole world knows it. Don’t waste it. Use it. Share it. It belongs to the ages. You wunderkind you. Fabulous.

Vivo:
That wasn’t her downfall. Her core ideas, incoherent speech, arrogance, abuse of power, lack of teamwork, alleged unethical behavior, failure to complete her term are the reasons lots of people don’t care for her.

You are an ignoramus – crawl back into your hole.

David Lincoln – Wafergate. I too think that the story was blown out of proportion. However, I wonder what you and your ilk would have done if Obama had done the same thing. I can just see Glen Beck, Fox News an Rushbo frothing at the mouth

I agree that her outward appearance reflects some of her principles. Often the problem with women seeking power is that they think they have to be more masculine. Beauty interferes with this idea. Palin is threating to many feminist because she is a real woman, and not a woman trying to be a man.

You poor poor souls. I can only imagine the hurting you all must feel. Always picked on for doing the right thing. When did love of country become such a punishable offense? No wonder Palin is hot right now. She is the ultimate victim. I have always said that strong leadership comes from strong victimhood and self pity. Palin and Rhianna in 2012.

The Democratic Party has been hijacked by the progressive wing. Many Democrats aren’t really that liberal, I voted for Sarah and will again if given the opportunity. She is real and she can connect with people because she walks her walk. I love the fact that she didn’t dispose of her baby, everything in life isn’t supposed to be easy. Shes a fighter and I have the utmost respect for her.

Some people have charm and charisma and personality, not too many in our party, more like Fuller Brush salesman and used car dealers.
Her faith, family, and love of country is what guides her. She is very conscientous of proper
budgeting, she read the stimulus, including the onerous one size fits all energy code. But the
legislature, swallowed it whole, regardless of the consequences. AS I’ve pointed out before, the Fey faux portrayal of this remarkable courageous woman, as some flighty ditz, the Plotz and other offering on the HuffPo and Salon, even the sleazy porn film by that
degenerate Jabba wannabe Larry Flynt were no accident. They were designed to obscure that Obama, the G.Q, and Esquire coverboy had no record to speak of
