Doubt running mate, the media, hollywood and the social internet crowd have made her damaged goods.
He'd do better with Carly or Ben.
Why is she still relevant? She still has the ability to make liberals froth at the mouth and say stupid things that can be used for social media marketing. I didn't hate her, but McCain's damaged campaign was looking for a silver bullet for a broken gun. Please note the actually voting numbers, they still came close even with a mostly center of the line R, and a questionable running mate.

Dumb and dumber! I can't take credit. it's a facebook quote.

Apologies, that was personal opinion. I'm actually watching this election cycle as a political operative would. Think Carville, watch Newsroom, throw in some House of Cards.
I'm sorry "dratts". This has already been bought and paid for. Tell me what Obama has accomplished in the past 7 years.
Shovel ready? Oh wait, Clunkers for cash. Wait, Obamacare, I'm going to save $2500 on my policy. .
Suddenly, this morning, she could be a big anchor around his neck. Her oldest son was just arrested on domestic violence for punching his girlfriend. It will be quickly attributed to her lack of something-or-other in the values instilled in her son, and that will be attached to her actions as a public official.

Don't forget her daughter... 2 kids out of wedlock, yet was a supporter of abstinence. Hmmm. Personally, I don't care, but don't tell us what we should do and then do something completely opposite.
Children's actions do reflect upon the parents.
I don't think it is just me, but Sarah's voice is like nails on a chalkboard. But at least SNL will have fun with this!

If you have kids I can guarantee you that you don't have full control over what they do. You may "think" you do, but you don't.
I'm not taking sides here but to criticize anyone for what their kids or other family members did is just F'ed up. How would you feel if that was done onto you?
You judge a person on what and who THEY are, no other way.
You own a Fiero, should I judge you for not being able to afford a good vehicle?
As a parent, you raise them, teach them values and morals. Parenting doesn't end when kids turn 18. Sure, there are kids that are just messed up, but in Sarah's case, she acts if the rest of the world is screwed up, but not her family. She should have had a talk with her children about keeping promises and not punching women. Or maybe she is too busy telling us how to live our lives...
Not sure what a Fiero has to do with morals. I do own a '73 International pickup... what does that say about me and my parents? Maybe it says that I like unique things, working on them and using my hands for positive things.... I am not out punching women or getting pregnant..... twice, all the while telling others not to. Hmmm.... my parents are proud.

So if I'm understanding you, you are saying that you have "full control" over your kids every move?
The Fiero statement was just a judgmental statement no different than any other judgmental statement people make. Can you see how that works?

No. But you raise them with values and morals so you don't need to "control" (your word) them. They have the upbringing to make good decisions. As I said, nothing wrong with getting preg. out of wedlock, but don't tell us that we shouldn't. Same for the son, now.... I wonder if he has anger issues, like mom.
Fiero... nope... owning a Fiero could be about being frugal.... which is a positive thing to instill in children. I am not telling you what to buy (like Bristol).

I'm not saying I would have voted for her when she ran for President (mainly because of the fingernail on chalkboard thing). What I'm saying is when one looks at the picture as a whole she really isn't any different than you, me or the person next door. An average Jane if you will. I think voters today want an average Joe or Jane or a smart businessman over a career politician that is only good at lying.

She is still a politician... she says what her followers want to hear. Same with Trump or anyone else running for office. She gets attention because of her voice, her looks and her "folksy" attitude. But hey, a Trump/Palin ticket would be the best show on TV!
I do agree she is the average Jane... when she isn't in politician mode. The minute she opens her mouth and talks politics... she starts to sounds stupid (my opinion). But people like her for what they believe she stands for. I just see her as a person looking to pad her pockets, like a lot of politicians

LOL, I wonder if she can still see Russia?
Face it, she originally got elected because it's Alaska. I don't consider her a politician, especially not a career politician. But she is a typical woman who likes flapping her beak.
If she STFU, she'd fade into history.

My Mom and Dad have six kids.
Two of us work, aren't in debt, and seem to have a semi-level head on our shoulders. One works, is in debt all the time, and lives with an abusive wife. One lies all the time, does drugs, works, but only enough to get high. One lives in a homeless shelter. One is a stay at home Mom with two wonderful kids.
So apparently Mom sometimes raised us right, sometimes didn't?
Any of the kids go out nationally and tell people how to live their lives (and get paid for doing so)?

Because the media loves to hate her. They make her relevant so they can complain about her. The instant she or any member of her family is mentioned in the news, everyone starts talking about it.
She's not the leach. The media is. They salivate at the possibility of something, anything, to publish about her.
Don't forget her daughter... 2 kids out of wedlock, yet was a supporter of abstinence. Hmmm. Personally, I don't care, but don't tell us what we should do and then do something completely opposite.
That's why it sucks to be a conservative. They're hypocrites. They're hypocrites because they have standards. Standards that they may frequently fail the live up to. They don't claim their behavior is the standard, only that a standard exists.
If a conservative has an extramarital affair, it's a scandal. Bill Clinton has numerous extramarital affairs... he's just Bill Clinton.
I believe they don't have standards (generalized statement)... they SAY they have standards, but they don't even try to live up to them, except in the spotlight.
BTW, Bill didn't tell you not to have an affair....

One thing the media is very, very good at, is character assassination, and because of their protected status under the First Amendment, they get away with it. Anyone they don't like (remember Joe the Plumber?) becomes a target. I personally believe that if something about a person cannot be proven to be a fact, more limitations need to be in place on the members of the Fourth Estate, or libel should be easier to prove. An article whose sole purpose is to denigrate, should be made to pass muster, such as "does this article serve the public interest?" It is very easy to ruin someone's life who is being tried in the court of public opinion, and later the person is found to be innocent; rarely, if ever, does the media put as much effort into admitting its wrong and trying to right it, as it did in leading the hue and cry.
I don't think Palin is nearly as dumb as the MSM made her out to be. Her manner of speaking is more a function of where she grew up, than an indicator of her intelligence. When tapped for VP, the people of Alaska seemed to have a high opinion of her.
That said, attractive women, whether politicians or criminals, tend to get a pass on many things. I submit the respective cases of Jodi Arias (reasonably attractive) and Eileen Wournos (not so much). The former gets life, the latter is pushing daisies.
No matter what Palin's constituents think of her, not all of them are going to do everything she says. Same goes for her kids, no matter what virtues Palin herself espouses.

Anyone remember Larry Craig?
How about Tea Party members Garmat and Courser?...
Oh well.... "do as I say, not as I do"....
BTW, Bill didn't tell you not to have an affair....
Your response dictates Formula88's picture to a T.
Democrats enjoy the "spotlight" more than anyone. No other group shines so brightly on the tellie, yet does not follow their own words. Ie. Hillary or Sanders for instance.
Once again, "do as I say, not as I do" is Hillary's motto.

Since when do we have democrats voting for anti-gay legislation, but have gay relations? Same for same-sex marriage and such. It is the conservatives who tell us how we should act in the confines of our how homes and lives, yet they are CAUGHT doing the "nasty". Of course, they deny, or say they are weak, and how we must pray for them. LOL. Read up on that Gamat story... it is more than an affair, the guy was trying to get others to lie for him and make up a story that he had a gay affair. You can't even make this up. THEN, they had the guts to run again, after being kicked out. Tea Party... not democrats... OH, and they mis-used taxpayer money.
As for Hillary... one person. Yup, she is a career politician and lies. Just like not all conservatives will lie. There is always a standout.

So in reality does that mean many democrats oppose high moral standards and justify their low moral standards by pointing out our near miss attempts to hit our own moral mark....
Kind of like 2 guys at a bowling ally. 1 practices all the time and the other only shows up to throw the ball down the lane, takes credit for getting better and says you suck when the other leaves 1 pin standing.
This is the guy I meet at work every day. His average output efficiency 83%. every now and then he hits ("A") 100% which actually keeps him above 80%. He starts strutting around talking about how lucky we are to have him as an employee. But when the guys that produce 90% or above every week has an 85% day, he is the one talking crap about how they dropped the ball. I want him gone just to boost the morale of his peers. but he just stays bellow the firing line. It's really sad because he can do better, but just seem to aim low on purpose....

Raise the standards then. Frankly, why work harder if the pay is the same and there is no chance for promotion, or other benefit, etc... Does he get the job done to the satisfaction of the employer? If so, he has met the needs of the employer and the employer pays him. If he goes beyond what the employer sets as a min, then where is the benefit of working harder? The employer is the only one who is getting more for the same amount.
Not really justifying it, but looking at it from the side of the employee. If there truely no benefit of working harder than required, why do so. If you have to walk to the store for milk, do you run or do you walk? The result is the same, but you use more energy for no gain. Frankly, it is up to the employer to raise the min. standard if they are unhappy with the work performed... just saying.
Personally, I like people who work hard, but I found that sometimes they work fast, but don't do a good job. Sure, the job is done and one quickly, but not to the level that it would be if they took their time and focused on the task at hand.
One thing the media is very, very good at, is character assassination, and because of their protected status under the First Amendment, they get away with it.
And the moment we compare it to online (digital) bullying, they will use it to go after political commentators who have a different opinion.
I'm not a fan of Palin, but I can't help but chuckle at the lengths the left goes to in order to discredit her.
Suddenly her personal life is fair game. Her family, the way she talks.
Basically everything the left constantly says is our own private thing is fair game with Palin.
I suspect it's because they are scared of her. I can understand why. They have a choice between a woman that lies to them all the time and one that will be brutally honest. They would rather be lied to. Most importantly I (and a lot of other people) notice that the people that scare the left get the most people screaming about them. People pop out of the woodwork to attack Palin, Trump etc. but they are quiet about others.... Over the years it's become very predictable.
Quick, post more comedians saying catchy things. They are so relevant!!

The main thing that I have against Palin is that she walked away from her elected "job" as governor of Alaska. Talk about a lack of commitment.
How about she is literally an uneducated idiot about our government and constitution.
The McCain team had to educate her on the simplest things.
As far as her personal life goes well, her kids are no class breeders. That tells me something. Not conclusive but certainly makes you wonder about their upbringing.
