Sarah Palin is an under educated, incompetent ex-governor, who couldn’t possibly have anything worth while to contribute as a public office holder.

At least, that’s what you’re going to hear from some commenters here.

I believe Sarah Palin’s well done, if low key, critiques of Obama’s policies, combined with her current very low profile, will soon morph into specific policy recommendations and ideas that, I believe, she will begin to present in ever more public and accessible forums.

I don’t know if she aspires to high office. But I do know she can be an effective leader of the conservative movement.

as far as I’m concerned. But, we definitely need her to keep reminding the GOP old-time leaders that conservatives win — and, more importantly, they’ll be better for the country. Adding another R in Congress doesn’t automatically mean everything will be better. We don’t know that. We need conservatives who have principles and are not afraid to speak of them.

That is my dream ticket. To bad there are no men with the uhmmmssss to go against the MSM and speak plainly about what it is going to take to get us back on track. Notice also both of these women are women of faith. They don’t mind saying so.
The men of the republican party seem to metro for me. We need strong people, the ones who are not afraid to stand up to evil and push it back. John McCain is what is wrong with the Republican party. The only reason I voted for him was because Palin was on his ticket, otherwise I would have voted Constitution Party.
I believe we need the country I grew up in back. One where there was not so much infighting and a push on limited Federal government in our lives. One in which freedom was an ideal, and security was for hotels. GWBush spent to much and put a halt on gettting rid of the NEA, well both of them. Our schools are seriously behind most of the world because of liberal agendas instead of teaching agendas.

Democrats not so much. In fact, she governed here mostly with Democrat backing rather than Republican until the Democrats seized the opportunity to damage her when she became the VP nominee.

And I’m sure all of you who are so devoted to her and so believe in her conservatism can articulate all the conservative policies she ran for Governor on and implemented as Governor.

I’ll give her credit for being a good spokesperson and for being a very good “aginner.” Comrade Obama and the Congressional leaders give her bright shiny targets to swing at and every so often she puts one out of the part, e.g., death panels. But, she’ll have a ways to go to prove to me that she’s anything other than the opportunist she always was in Alaska politics.

If Sarah Palin gives to one Democrat then she’s a complete idiot and will make a laughingstock of all the people who have supported her recent moves.

I’m not a true Palin fan (as a presidential candidate), but according to my daughter, I’m a sexist; she’s probably right. That aside, yes Palin “took on” some in her own party in Alaska. But first, she tried to get other Party leaders to clamp down on corruption and abuses. They wanted to play “go along and get along,” and she wouldn’t play. She did what it took to clean out some crooks, and I admire and praise her for that. “Partisanship” should stop when ethical and legal lines are crossed.

And yes, she worked with Democrats — as Governor (as opposed to candidate), that’s what she was supposed to do. If you like stark partisanship once in office, you shouldn’t have a problem with Obama. A governor and a president is obliged to work with the representatives elected by the people. Shame on the ones who don’t do that (usually, if not always, Democrats).

that as AOGC commissioner who wouldn’t tolerate corruption in her party, ran to clean out her own party, and then wielded that HUGE STICK over the loyal opposition candidates and legislators to essentially say, “Play fair while I’m Governor, and your past indiscretions are kept quiet.”If the Dem legislature played fair in AK, then some, not all of her legislation passed, good quality debates ensued in public light and measures were voted on their merit with the proper and fair feedback from the electorate.

Is that such a bad thing?

I believe you’ve pretty much captured the mood of the country. While I have my doubts that Palin could deliver on that as President, that encapsulation alone is worth a recommendation. And there is no question about Palin’s ability to have point on the PR front.
