What others are saying
I think the biggest indicator to the contrary can be found in her religious beliefs. She is a young earth creationist, which means that, ignoring all scientific evidence, she holds a fable in a 2000 year old book to be of higher truth.
This would manifest in many ways if she was elected. If an economist were to criticize an economic move she made, she would probably say something to the effect of, "Oh, diddly-ho, there go those so-called experts and their plan to stop me."
Young earth creationism is always indicative of an inability to look objectively at the facts, and that is the most glaring reason she was not, is not, and probably never will be ready.

Tactics "There is nothing wrong whatsoever for standing up for conservative principles which is all talk radio and Palin are trying to do."
If they were just standing uop for conservative principles (like Rush used to do) nothing would be wrong. But when they use their tactics of lies, embelishments, and misinformation, you make the party look stupid.

I really do need examples of: "lies, embelishments, and misinformation" ECC, cause I haven't seen it and frankly no one else can come up with one so that makes you and us conservatives look bad. So unless you can, you really need to stop with this obsessive fixation you have on talk radio and Fox. There is no logic to support it.
And 3, maybe you are laughing at her (course we all laugh at you) but I'm talking about the majority of libs who have a deep hatred and use very nasty language when referring to her. You'd think she had eaten their first born!!!!

LOL!! Again, you refuse to answer everyone's questions. Give specifics, you dolt.
Howdy Joyce!
Shhhh!
They seem to know how stupid she makes them look, let them find out for themselves how stupid they are making themselves look.
She's certainly more ready than hussein, biden, pelosi, or reid.
That's not saying much, but then again it is, because that's the dp top leadership. Hillary may be more ready, but then she's far more dangerous to our Republic than noob hussein.
I doubt our allies would be twisting in the breeze right now if she were President.

"What the H*ll is a “mouth breather” anyways?"
Picture just about anyone that voted for Obama. Notice how they mostly stand around, mouths open, drooling? That's where the term comes from: Their mouths are always wide open like that, so that's where they are breathing from, rather than the noses.
OOPS!
On my previous post directed to joyce, I hit the post button too soon. Again the address was http://eastcoastrep.wordpress.com/
Thanks,
Not this again...
Do we REALLY have to go over this again?
Palin's "Death Panel" comment stemmed from a provision that insurance companies would be required to pay for catastrophic illness/end-of-life counselling IF THE POLICY HOLDER REQUESTS IT. No one would be required, coerced, or forced to undergo counselling, much less would there be some board deciding who would live or die.
Either Gov. Palin completely misunderstood it, or she calculatedly threw a bomb into the discussion to turn the spotlight on herself.
I have my opinion of which it was.
pro Palin
* pro domestic drilling * pro nuclear energy * pro tax overhaul * pro military * gorgeous (waiting for "Nailin' Palin" on DVD) * outspoken * much smarter than Barry
What's not to like?
@Tadpole
No trust me; I do not fall for political lines or mantra especially liberalism when it comes to politics. I go for facts. And the fact is that the liberal and McCain campaign did a pretty good job in making her look bad (I personally see her as a strong and educated individual who achieved her success thru hard work and perseverance). I don't believe that she is any less qualified to be POTUS but I do believe due to what happened to her, we (conservatives) will have the same 2008 election result if she runs in 2012 (I do not want another liberal democrat in the office--I don't think we can survive that). Many of us will vote for her but are we enough. Even some conservative or republican will not vote for her. I am trying to be realistic. She needs a break from running for on the ticket. Right now she needs to take the time to reestablished herself and show to the rest of the country that are doubtful that she is more than capable (quitting her position as governor of Alaska, although good for her and her State in her opinion, was not very helpful and it only added to her negatives). I believe she is doing that (e.g. learning about other countries and their politics is a big step for her). I was so disappointed when McCain won the primary (I am a Romney supporter) because I knew he was not going to fight for the position. They were so many miss opportunities to call Obama and his campaign out that McCain let go. I prefer Romney (as a Catholic, I am not threaten by his religion--that is his faith who are we to deny him his faith) because of his background in business. We will never get out of this if we do not bring the US back financially. CONT….
@Tadpole
CONT….In today’s America, I believe principle is Divisive but don’t get me wrong I still stand by my conservative principles and one or two viewpoint that may be considered liberal whether in public or private. I respect those who stand by the principle despite what people label them (e.g. racist, bigot, homophobic, heartless, etc…). And I am looking for that type of representative but Palin unfortunately is not it because regrettably for us who mostly agree with her, the media and the McCain campaign have done a good job in making her an extreme right or stupid when that is not the case. Understanding and accepting that she is divisive is helpful in promoting her. Many people do respect her but will not vote for her because they don’t agree with her and perceive her to be the far right which is divisive (e.g. far right, far left). Some people in the middle will not vote for her if they believe her to be far right, that is just fact. We need all the voters we can get because with all the “freebies” the democrats are giving away, many may just keep voting them in so they can get more “freebies”. My perception of today’s American is ask not what you can do for your country but ask what my country can do for me despite the enormous liability it puts on the country.

"I really don't get why libs hate her."
we don't hate her, we're laughing at her, she's a joke. How you guys can consider her a serious candidate, much less expect her to be elected, is beyond us.

And for the 20th time I have told you that I am NOT NCCOnservative and until you stop this accusation I refuse to give you any consideration.

I am a strong conservative, but there is no way I could vote for Palin. I wish she would set her goals a little loser where she could be successful and helpful

Re: Club-a-Liberal “It was her who sounded the alarm on "Death panels". They made fun of her, of course, but then immediately scrambled that week to change language in the bills”
Yes, also note that is in the most recent bill – so much for that being a “Lie”.
Oh yea......
Just reading the responses here tells me she is ready.
Libs heads explode, RINO Republicans hate her........ She communicates clearly......
Sarah, get in the primaries, see how you do with REAL AMERICANS.
Jeff why do you think she quit?
Sarah Palin for President ???? If she can't cut it as Governor of Alaska who in their right mind would vote for her for President. As soon as the going got rough, about Feb. 1st., she'd quit that job too. By Jeff in Dayton
Over $500,000 in legal fees with no end in sight because the libs have this unfounded obsession in making her life miserable. With all those interruptions she realized she could not do her job to the best of her ability. I'd say she did the people of Alaska a favor by sparing them.
I really don't get why libs hate her. You can dislike her sure and disagree with her, but they are venomous towards her and it doesn't make sense. Don't they realize how stupid it makes them look?
Vice President
Yeah right! And Levi Johnson is ready to be her Vice President and closet playmate. Rush Limbo is full of it!
Compared to Obama she is
What does it mean to be ready to be President? By any sane definition, a Freshmen Senator with no executive experience is completely unready to be President. I would say any Govenor would meet the definition of ready, although some are clearly more ready than other.
Obama has got to be the most ill-prepared person to ever become President. Governor Palin looks pretty ready in comparison to the Obama standard.
Palin
What if the Republicans ran with a candidate that stood on principals, not who they thought had the best chance of winning. To me they are the same thing. Nominate somebody that says I believe in these things, then run on that, not which ever way the wind is blowing.
Sarah Palin for President ????
If she can't cut it as Governor of Alaska who in their right mind would vote for her for President. As soon as the going got rough, about Feb. 1st., she'd quit that job too.
Sarah Palin
Barry wasn't ready, so what's the big deal?
EC Conservative..hello?? Are you out there??
All of us stupid "whackos" are waiting for your response. Afterall, we are all dummies and just don't have the intelligence of people like you who know what is best for the party. This is your chance to educate the dumb masses on this board. You should cherish this opportunity.
Where are you? What are the issues that Rush, Levin, etc are off base on? Since that is the only thing you ever say, I imagine that you can come up with at least 5 issues without even breaking a sweat. C'mon, enlighten us.
@East Coast
"NO! She is symbolic of what is wrong with the party."
And what would that be? Again, you never actually explain yourself. Why?
Details, please!!
Sarah Palin
Most of the people against Sarah Palin have not even looked at her record. She was a better qualified candidate than any of the other candidates.
@ACE
You hit the nail on the head. Here we are, a year into Hussein's presidency, and the libs can't go one day without talking about Palin. If Palin is such a moron, such a lightweight, such a worthless human, why on earth do they spend every day talking about her?
The funny thing is she has done more just by speaking out a few times these past months than half these idiots in Congress have all year. It was her who sounded the alarm on "Death panels". They made fun of her, of course, but then immediately scrambled that week to change language in the bills re: that! There were a couple of other examples too.
You are also dead on when you hear the "I'm a conservative....." line to open up.
@Alabamastan
>>>>"No, she destroyed herself. The media just gave her enough rope. She had no idea what she was stepping into and the McCain campaign either didn't vet her or didn't prep her well enough."<<<<
I agree in part. Yes, she should have been more prepared in some of those interviews; but, on the other hand, two things were in play (1) unprecedented full assault by media on her; and (2) she was clearly not being herself, and was too coached by the McCain group. That made it even worse fore her.
Let's face it, if the media even went after Obozo 20% of what they did to Palin, we would've never even have heard of BO. The guy wasn't qualified to run for dogcatcher.
In her defense, here is a lady who is governor of Alaska one day, unknown, and overnight becomes the most talked about person in the world. It's not like she had two years of prep for this. Literally, within a week, she is being asked some ridiculous questions related to world affairs.
Ann Coulter put it best, "While the media interviewers are asking Obama what his favorite basketball team is, Palin is being asked who the 7 kings of Swaziland are."
Also note that when the first thing someone says is “I'm a conservative” be forewarned that the person is most likely going to say something that will quickly make you question that assertion.
What the H*ll is a “mouth breather” anyways?
What is it about SARAH PALIN that brings out the Leftists and their baseless charges and comments?
Could it be that they are Afraid of her?
@Rodgers
Given the multitude of lawsuits filed against her by the left, which she had to pay to fight, I don't hold that against her.
That said, i don't want her as President, but she would make a pretty good VP. I only know of two VP's in the last 30 years who were more qualified.
In your opinion ECC
Look at your own postings and you will get your answer. You are a minature version of what the Talk Radio faction is doing to us as your immmature behavior makes us look stupid and like wackos. By East Coast Conservative
On the other hand, there are plenty of conservatives out there that would call you an appeaser.
Palin would not be my first choice but she is NOT stupid and she is NOT what is wrong with the GOP. The current politicians are the problem, the RINO's as we call them but you deny.
It's like the New York campaign, Scozza finally realized she was not going to make it. Because in a political dictionary next to the term RINO, you would find Scozza's picture. Hoffman may not be a sharp as a tack speaker (kinda boring actually) but he is a conservative. And THAT is good for our country, I would think we could all agree on that hopefully.
There is nothing wrong whatsoever for standing up for conservative principles which is all talk radio and Palin are trying to do. Why is it always conservatives who are expected to be more moderate? Let the Dems try it for awhile.
Palin
Palin would be successful on the campaign fund raising tour for the Conservative Arm of the GOP Party
Principled is NOT Divisive
Nadia - Please do not fall for the liberal mantra that a person is divisive because they don't agree with them. There are always going to be people that will disagree with at least some of your positions, but many more will respect you if they believe that your positions come from core principles rather than political expediency.
Case in point - Mitt Romney. I agree with the majority of his stated positions, however I have trouble trusting him because he has changed positions for what seems to be political gain. Palin has no such history.
Sarah Palin is fully qualified to be our next president - she has served as governor successfully. The question is not if, but when is the right time for her to run.
Palin the quitter
When the going got tough in Alaskan politics, she quit. She should take a long hard look at her precious baby and learn a lesson. He is a survivor and a fighter, not a victim or a quitter. Look elsewhere for a leader, Rush.
Re: Club
"She has no chance. What the libs and media accomplices did to her was practically criminal. They destroyed her."
No, she destroyed herself. The media just gave her enough rope. She had no idea what she was stepping into and the McCain campaign either didn't vet her or didn't prep her well enough.
Re: East Coast Conservative “Look at your own postings and you will get your answer.” Just HOW is that an answer to 'Club-a-Liberal(Statist)'s question: Do you have anything of substance to offer?
Do you have anything of substance to offer?
proof in the pudding
ECC,
"The Club" asked for examples. Like, when Rush told us to wear our underwear on the outside to show that we were superheroes...oh wait, that didn't happen.
I know, when Rush told us that...oh crap, what the hell does Rush rant about? I don't listen to him.
Well, at least try to make up some examples like I did. It might placate "The Club".
No
Gah! It pains me, but I'm going to have to side with Matt Damon on this one.

12th Time
>>>>"You are a minature version of what the Talk Radio faction is doing to us as your immmature behavior makes us look stupid and like wackos."<<<<
EC/NC Lib - (1) you continue to blame talk radio, and I am now asking you for the 12th time, give me one damn specific issue where these evil talk radios guys are off base with the conservative agenda. What is it with you? (2) "doing to us" - please don't use the word "us" when referring to yourself and conservatives. You are not "us", you are "them", a pathetic fence-sitting dolt who has no principles or core values.
Finally, if I am so off base, and your way is the way to go, then why don't you enlighten us and tell us what issues you stand for? Why do you hide? Everyone here knows where I stand. Put up your list against mine. The board here can decide.
As for what "talk radio is doing to us", I'm sure you are crying now because DeDe Scuzzface had to drop out of NY-23.
Just so we're clear
Palin has made no comment about running for President. Everyone else has.
Palin has more executive experience than our current President...even now, she has more experience. Four of the previous five Presidents were governors so Palin's in good company if she decides to run. Some think that Palin resigning from the governor's office shows that she can't finish the job...well, Obama has yet to fulfill a full term of any office he's been in (I want him to finish out this term so he can be defeated for the next one).
The fact that everyone is still talking about her proves she has an effect on what's going on in this nation.
Palin
I'm a conservative. Dont consider my a mouth breather but I don't think Palin is very bright and she will not ever be the president.
An aside these sites bring out the crazies - "Rush is anti-semitic??" I don't recall that one. Rush is goofy at times (this video is a good example of that) but he has served a purpose.
No
I don't believe she is ready to be POTUS. I like her and am in agreement with her most of the time but she is divisive. We need all the independent, conservative democrat and liberal republicans we can get and with her on the ticket we will just have a repeat of 2008 election result. Unfortunately, the McCain campaign and media made her seem not ready in so she needs more time to show those people she is capable (resigning her post may have been good for her and State but many saw it as quitting so she needs to show them they are wrong before she can think about running for POTUS). I will say maybe 2024 if a republican wins the 2016 election; 2020 if a republican wins in 2012 or a democrat wins the 2016. She should not run in 2012 or 2016 because like I said she needs time to reestablish herself.

He is right......
I am sure he admires her backbone....
she's still hot!!!
I have come to the conclusion that sarah needs to toughen up a lot more.....
take hillerys job??? she could do that, she may have the stuff to do many of the jobs that require some steel inside but......president?? not yet....
she quit as gov for a fairly good reason...money....and she could not be effective in the job with all the stoopid law suits in the way.....
be patient sarah.......
Palin
She has no chance. What the libs and media accomplices did to her was practically criminal. They destroyed her. Alinsky would be proud.
The average mouthbreathing voter out there, who couldn't tell you what they ate for breakfast this morning, knows one thing, "Palin is stupid", afterall SNL said so.
Go to www.howobamagotelected.com. These Obama voters never heard of Pelosi, ACORN, Ayers, VP Biden, etc; they didn't even know who the current VP was and didn't even know who Obama's running mate was. Yet, when they were asked about Palin, they knew all the gossip, from her daughter's kid to that moron Levi, etc.!
Hey, East Coast Lib
I am now asking you for the 11th time, tell us all, in SPECIFICS, what is wrong with the "conservative radical agenda" that those eveil talk show hosts are peddling.
Do you have anything of substance to offer, you dunce?
Last week, you said you offered some campaign proposal/agenda or something like that? Show us. Whose campaign you working on? Specters? you bringing back Jim Jeffords?
Sarah Palin
I do not care how ready she is to be president. I am old enough to re-call when a dame such as herself would have been called uppity & Some Thing Decisive Would Have Been Done about It Forthwith instead of multitudes taking the Jim Jones kool aid made from fluoridated water & all agreeing what a fine first uppity woman president she would make despite her wafer thin resume & head full of air it is past time to pull over & change. I repair to stress I detract her from the right not left. I am sure Palin has her rightful place, it just is no where in authority over ME.
President Palin? God help us.
I would not want this woman on my PTA, Homeowner's Association, or City Council, much less President of the United States!
Any conservative here who is honest knows that if a similarly non-cerebral woman were ever a democrat candidate for office, you would be ruthlessly lambasting her intellectual fitness for the job on a daily basis.
Palin
Here, Here......thats one tough cookie with a hard steel core
rush
it's the money!!! he knows, i know, and everybody who hasn't been brainwashed knows that she will lose in a presidential election. rush wants obama to win because if a republican would win he can't have "hate-speech" against her. and this "hate-speech" has given him god like powers over his myrmidons. it's all for the money and fame
Palin
Not that I think she should run, but if an unaccomplished, inexperienced, freakin' community organizer, who has never really had a real job in his life can be president, then why not?
Sara Palin
I too believed in Sara Palin despite her meltdown during the presidential campaign. But my faith in her as a politician was lost when she resigned as Governor of Alaska. Would she resign her "lame duck" year as President?
Election time
Isn't it bad enough that Presidential election campaigns are now two years -- do we really to start 3 years early????
Sarah
She doesn't have the experience. Neither does our current POTUS (or JOTUS, Joke of the United States). I don't want another mistake like this one.
Too bad Obama Isn't !!
Community organizer – yes? President - No.
It's Quite Simple...
Well, B. Hussein Obama is president, and hell, he's never even had to balance a checkbook....OBVIOUSLY
She was ready in 2008... compared to Obama
After seeing the wonderful job that Barack Hussein Obama MMM MMM MMM is doing as president, Palin could not have done any worse.
Nah
Gotta disagree with this one. MAYBE by 2016 but I don't think so by 2012. That's going to be an especially nasty battle and we need someone totally up to the task.
HAHAAHA THAT IS CLASSIC
The fatso antisemitic pillpopper thinks the illiterate bookbanner should be president. That is the funniest thing I have heard in years. This is like the klan endorsing the republican party in the last election. hahahahaha
Sarah Palin
Is "SARAH PALIN IS READY TO BE PRESIDENT".
I can answer that with one word: NO! She is symbolic of what is wrong with the party.
