Palin considering 2012 bid

Posted: Feb 7, 2010

Hope this is true-it would sure make things easier for the dems!

Palin says 'absurd' not to ponder presidential bid

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin addresses attendees at the Na...

The former Alaska governor and the Republican vice presidential nominee in 2008 says she will run for president if she believes it's right for the country and right for her family.

Palin was asked on "Fox News Sunday" if she knows more today about domestic and foreign affairs than she did two years ago. Her response: "Well, I would hope so."

She says her focus has widened since she was governor of Alaska. Palin says she gets daily briefings by e-mail on domestic and foreign policy issues from advisers in Washington.

Palin appeared on "Fox News Sunday." She is a paid contributor to Fox News.

So what - who cares - Is this your only hope to win?

First, if she did run it could go both ways. I personally feel that if she does run anyone in this country (even Bubba or Forest Gump) would win. I mean really...she is now the most hated person in this country. However, with what is happening now and what everyone knows about "The O" I think he would have a very very hard time being re-elected. Most people are jumping ship in his party and the country is pretty fed up. So...

Sarah Palin says it would be absurd for her not to consider running in 2012. Of course it would be. If enough people ask a candidate to run it's absurd for anyone not to think about it. However, with her saying that she did not say "I'm going to run".

This subject has been hashed over so many times it looks like corned beef hash (or moose hash LOL). It is time to put a lid on this. If she is the only hope for the democrats to win next election I think the democrat should be talking about more important things than SP running next election.

Besides...if this past year is an indicator of what's in store for the country over the next 3 years, then I think SP would most definitely win.

More fish to fry right now than whether SP is going to run. Besides the GOP has come out and said they are not looking at her to run next election.

Put a lid on Palin during a primary election season? - Surely you jest.

She's not going anywhere. If anything, you will be hearing much more, not less, from her and about her. As for your O uglies, it would seem that you are the one who needs to do a little more thinking about how we got where we are and what it's going to take to move forward from here. He's doing exactly what he needs to be doing.

If you want to talk about "uglies" maybe you better - see message

[ In Reply To ..]
look at all the Palin uglies being posted here, then you'll have something valid to talk about.

You think it's okay to bash and trash Palin and call her all sorts of names is okay, but someone says, and I'll quote, "he would have a very hard time being re-elected". You think that is an "O uglies"????? By saying he's going to have a hard time being re-elected???? Oh brother!

I sure know how we got where we were ONE YEAR AGO. You seem to forget he left office OVER one year ago. Since he's left office, nothing has been done (or is being worked on) to fix the problems he inherited. All the decisions being made are of the current administration, NOT the Bush administration. The continuation of the war, the endless spending, congress putting themselves ahead of the people of the country, jobs continuing to be shipped overseas. Sorry....the ol standby act of "it's all Bush's fault" is not going to fly here.

This is all the current administrations problems now. So before you accuse someone of an "ugly" you need to take a look at all the posts about Sarah Palin. "Ugly" is an understatement.

Yeah, this gets me too. The dems must not be very - confident if they always do this

"Put Palin in and we win!" How pathetic. I doubt Obama would win again if voting were held today.

Anybody could win against Palin. The former Govenor Gidget is a one-woman HOOTenanny, full of endless gaffes and giant ego. To say so says nothing one way or the other about any party's confidence. The only honor this ethically challenged quitter can hope to achieve is the title for American's #1 butt of a joke.

Palin reads cheat notes from her hand at Tea Party Q&A

By David Edwards and Gavin Dahl
Sunday, February 7th, 2010 -- 12:30 pm

Sarah Palin clearly had notes scribbled on her hand at the National Tea Party Convention Saturday.

Huffington Post obtained photos of the former governor answering pre-determined questions after her $100,000 speech.

At the same event, Palin mocked President Barack Obama's use of a teleprompter.

"This is about the people and it's bigger than any king or queen of a tea party and it's a lot bigger than any charismatic guy with a teleprompter," said Palin.

During a question and answer session after her address to the convention, Palin clearly looks down, reading notes off her hand. The words included "energy" "tax" and "lift American spirits."

The remainder of the article and video can be found at:

This one's a real hoot!! Can you say, "BUSTED?" - Really?

Huffington and Raw Story - Great Place to get info - Backwards Typist

[ In Reply To ..]
if your one-sided as much as they are.

Huffington stated:
"This would mean:
A) That she knew the questions beforehand and the whole thing was a farce. (Likely.)"

Uh, if I remember correctly, during O's campaign, a lot of his questions were pre-arranged and he used the teleprompter to answer them and 'stepped over' any question that was not on his teleprompter.

Watch him when he doesn't use his teleprompter. He stumbles over his words and 'ums' and 'ahs' a lot.

It goes both ways, but it seems there is so much hate out there for Palin that nothing she does will satisfy anyone. I truly hope she doesn't run in 2012. She will only get hurt. I gotta give her credit, though. She does have guts, not like the wimps in DC now.

Finally, we agree on something. Anyone in the political arena who would write crib notes on his/her hand had a lot of guts.

Not many brains, but a lot of guts.

Gutsy is right - for being out in the public when - anon

People in the news and people like some posters demonize every little thing she does. She held her baby walking down steps....waaaa... She said this...waaaa. She said that....waaa. She wrote a note on her hand...waaaa. Yeah it takes guts to do what she does, but she feels passionate enough about the country to care enough to do it no matter how much they demonize her. So she wrote a note on her hand. So what? No big deal. Especially since she knew that they would trash her about it and she has enough guts to not care anymore what they do to her.

So tell me, what qualifications do you have to determine she has "not many brains". I could say that for some posters. I'm sure you don't even ever listen to her. Just jump on the bandwagon of bashing and trashing.

I'll tell you one thing. She at least has enough intelligence to be able to talk to school children without having to cling to a teleprompter or else not know how to speak.

Check out the video of Sarah. (sm) - Nikki

[ In Reply To ..]
You can denigrate the Huffington Post and Raw Story as much as you want, but there's a VIDEO of Sarah there, as well as the story.

And I disagree with your statement about Obama. When he was in a roomful of Republicans, he had no teleprompters and was quite eloquent, to the point where the Repubicans were sorry they agreed to televise the exchange.

I saw the video. That wasn't my point. - Backwards Typist

[ In Reply To ..]
I only saw bits and pieces of that pub meeting so I can't comment on that, but I have seen plenty of his campaign speeches without the telepromter and he didn't do very well with some of them.

If you watched Fox, you only saw bits and pieces. (sm) - Nikki

[ In Reply To ..]
"Fair and Balanced" quit televising it as soon as it became clear that Obama was winning.

He's much better, in my opinion, without a teleprompter and just communicating off the cuff, like he did with that room full of Republicans.

Fox News reported the whole story. - Unlike MSNBC

[ In Reply To ..]
But then again they never do tell the whole story or the truth.

FYI: Wasn't watching Fox back then. - Backwards Typist

Only started watching once in a while right before the election after I saw someone bash the network on this board, so I got curious as to why they hated Fox so much.

Teleprompters - NJ

[ In Reply To ..]
I don't understand why the hoopla about the teleprompter. Why, all of a sudden, is it a weakness for a president to read a speech?

Is it because Obama used the technology of a teleprompter instead of reading from a paper?

I don't get this at all.

Im with you. Would someone please explain this inigma? - Phoney outrage is a bore. nm

Because Sarah Palin has a few notes supposedly scribbled on her hand, it makes the feministas get their jock straps in a bunch. Just like the Tim Tebow ad, maybe the loony left should apologize.

By your reasoning, wood must be stinky because it's brown, just like poo.

Obama uses a teleprompter and Palin writes notes on her hand like a schoolkid. You think those things are alike?

I'm starting to think we should test people before letting them vote. If you can't tell the difference between wood and poo, no vote for you!

NJ

If you had to test people before voting - Obama would have lost

[ In Reply To ..]
You might want to think twice about saying that. I do think people should know issues before voting. Unfortunately in this last election we saw what happened. Half the people who voted for him didn't know anything about him, didn't know issues. And look at where that got us. Worse than where we were. Things were bad. Now they are worse.

There is nothing wrong with writing down a few notes. At least she doesn't need a teleprompter to know how to speak. Give me someone who writes notes any day over someone who doesn't know what's going on and can only read the script someone gives them written on a teleprompter.

Amen, Colleen - she is the Democrats Best Hope - What a numbskull!

[ In Reply To ..]
Did you see the signs in the audience reading "Sarah save us"?? LOL!!! From what? She is dumber than a rock.

Anyone who contributes to this woman's 15 minutes of fame should not be allowed to vote anyway. I can't wait until she just goes away.

She is stupid and people who think she is the answer...well....you know what that makes them - even more mentally challenged.

Ummm- helllooooo....she's not running - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
She has not said she is going to run. GOP has said they are not considering her.

Better get used to a loss next election.
