Shame on you, Shaun, suggesting I'd betray Christopher for someone like Beck!

In reality, righties like myself are routinely called RINOs for disagreeing, disliking or merely questioning both Sarah AND Beck. I diverge from many of the folks who write for Newsreal, even, concerning both personalities.

Tom, I clicked on your link and unlike Mr. Shaw (below), I was glad to give you the traffic, so clicked a couple hundred more times. You're welcome. I wonder if our host blogger Diane has a crush on Glen Beck like she does on Christopher Hitchens?

The majority of people who voted for Obama voted for someone with personality, but no substance.
A rudimentary investigation of him would of revealed his left-leaning ways. But his rhetoric won the
day. If people were willing to do that with someone they really didn't know, why wouldn't they do that with
someone more substantive, and with more executive experience than Obama ever had?

***WHY IS MY INTENSE DEBATE ICON SO SCREWY??***

"There's nothing wrong with Palin's "personality", if by personality you mean who she is. If you mean her personality- in how you interpret it, why that bothers you, that's another problem."

Precisely my point. You say there is nothing wrong with her personality while another might find it completely alienating. I was speaking generally.

A couple of left-wing loser-loonies file frivolous complaint after frivolous complaint, and she has "skeletons in her closet."

Hey! I have an idea! Any time there is a candidate that you are afraid of, just file a thousand ethics complaints against them, then claim they have "skeletons in their closet."

Voters' perceptions of Sarah Palin get shaped generally through the lens of a PopMedia which has proven its intent to keep Palin down to their stereotypes of her. Since people are paying more attention now, as witnessed by growing opposition to Obamagenda, it's likely that more folks will make up their own minds on Palin, regardless of a rabid media.

There's nothing wrong with Palin's "personality", if by personality you mean who she is. If you mean her personality- in how you interpret it, why that bothers you, that's another problem.

Man o man, Mr.Degan you are a piece of work. I was dumb enough to click your link and am ashamed that I've increased your traffic by one. You truly deserve to live across from an adult bookstore and tatoo parlour. When the space becomes available, perhaps you could get the apartment above them.
Sure, when Mrs. Palin was dropped onto the world stage, she wasn't ready for it. I liked her first nomination speech but, even to me, she went downhill from there. However, her Tea Party speech and the Chris Wallace interview shows that she has come a long, long way in a very short time.
Write on her hand? Give me a break! The POTUS should be so resourceful instead of needing the teleprompter in a sixth grade class!
As to the Newsweak article, the thing that jumps out is the line "undoubtebly where the pay is best" just shows the obsession with income the left have. She couldn't possibly deserve it, or, yeah, she's only in it for the money. Poor jealous fools.

I'm sorry, but if Sarah Palin is the candidate for president three years from now, It is going to make my life a whole hell of a lot easier. If she wins it will make my life a dream come true. As a blogger, I will never again have to touch my computer keyboard. These things will write themselves.

I know this sounds exceedingly selfish on my part and I am embarrassed to say it in so public a forum. I hope she never goes away. For the self-described political satirist, she is the gift that keeps giving and giving and giving….

I'm so ashamed.

The strength of the tea party movement is that is does not have a leader or party affiliation. The people are fed up with politicians on the right and the left doing the same things when they get to office: increasing the size and role of govt. via tax and spend policies. No offense to Sarah Palin but the tea party doesn't need a leader. We don't want to be hijacked by the republican party. This movement is a grassroots protest against establishement politics. The following article expresses this perfectly: http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=1119

How can he argue thaqt she can't win independants. Most of the people in the room, in the teaparty and who voted for Scott Brown are independants. Remember the Reagan revoloution? Wall Street bailoutsand back rooom extortion and collusion do not impressmain street at all. Corruption onan hitherto unseen scale is the O admin achilles hreel andf it cannot be offset by citing that she wore a jacket with a snowmachine logo to her husband's race.

Nobody in his/her right mind woulod demand that she or anyone else stay in a job that costs her a lot of money. Would you?
