Sarah Palin for President?

[R1Geezer]

It seems the left have a new figure of hate, the amont of general sla66ing Palin is getting is getting to the stage where the public are starting to warm to her. With that in mind do you think she will get more support than she otherwise would? I would certainly love her to win the presidency, anyone who winds up the lefties like her must be doing somethng right!

*pasta rolls eyes.....brother at home in NY would find this very funny*

ah yes, she's the one who said America must stand by its ally, North Korea.

I imagine Obama would be delighted to have her as his opponent, rather than someone with a brain.

As if, jno, Obama hasn't made some outrageous mistakes... and he's supposed to be world famous for his speaking ability (always from a teleprompter though).

Look, She's everything the left fears and therefore hates. She's attractive, self-sufficient, anti-abortion (gave birth to and happily raising a Down Syndrome child) and best of all--- she doesn't back down.
She was accused of being the prime mover in the recent attack on Representative Giffords in Tucson, Arizona. Rather than backing into a hole in Alaska, she came out both barrels blazing... hate her or love her, there's no ambiguity in where she stands... refreshing as a wind off Bristol Bay (her home in Alaska), if you ask me (which you didn't)...

[R1Geezer]

Hi Clanad, we only get the left pi55 taking here so can you give us some idea how she is perceived in the wider US, thanks.

[anneasquith]

just what" PUBLIC " are warming to her ? and where is your evidence ?

[boxtops]

All I can say "God Forbid". IMO.

[pastafreak]

I'd never go home again if she were president........

They say that people get the politicians they deserve. So what does that say about America?

[JR369]

A woman in control of the Us army? ROTFLMAO in the next war will she swap the nuclear warheads for warheads containing flowers? The only women in the whitehouse should be the cleaners and the cooks.

Is there a 'Left' in American politics? I thought there was centre-right and further-right? Sarah Palin would be an excellent candidate for the GOP. It would ensure a second term for the Democrats.

[R1Geezer]

now let's see anne, she's an American politician, what public do you think I'm talking about? Take your time!

[boxtops]

I think not, JR - her general views on things seem to be of the "blow em all up" variety. Don't ask me to quote, but she has views on everything which seem to come from a very small-town perception of the world.

[JR369]

Well whenever you put a woman in power you can rest assure that she will royally f*** things up, we only have to look at Maggie Thatcher to see that.

[starone]

What about the extra women in the President's suite JR? If the President was a woman would there be extra men I wonder?

[andy-hughes]

R1Geezer - the general perception of SP in the UK - at least in the media, is pretty calm and objective.

It points out her popularity with the right - tended to be seen as the extreme right, and is somewhat dismissive of her as anything like a serious politician or thinker.

While the UK media acknowledges that the electorate have issues with Obama, they certainly do not hate SP, or see her as a serious political threat - merely as a focl point of a right-wing minority who would not trouble a contender of any party in the next campaign.

[anneasquith]

really R1. I NEVER KNEW THAT.................

[JR369]

The only extra woman i can remember was Clintons squeeze Monica lewinsky, boys will be boys.

[JR369]

It's true anneasquith you only have to ask any dock worker or miner.

This is cute. I like the lyric "Sarah has the wisdom to walk through an open door", maybe missing the door and walking into the wall is a big problem for these people.
