I think "Going Rogue" makes sense given where the country is politically and all of the crap she had to put up with during the campaign. Being Independent or Third Party will be seen as going rogue. The 2010 elections will be a good indicator of this.

Palin was a bad choice for McCain's running mate. She was inexperienced and it showed. McCain's organization did a bad job of determining if she was a well qualified to be one heart beat away from the president of the U.S.

Hell, I'm a Republican thru 'n thru and that thought scared me.

I'd say she likely was the BEST qualified of the four on the ticket of both parties.

Davemuzz · « **Reply #5 on:** September 29, 2009, 04:26:52 AM »

Well, of all the candidates, she could kill 'n dress a moose, quarter it, drag it out, cook it, prepare the rest for the freezer, clean the gun she shot it with, launder your huntin duds, and toasty up your bed for the evening and all through the night.

Heck, that alone should get her my vote!!!!

I can tell you.....none of the other 3 could do all that. At least, they couldn't do it anywhere near as good!!!

Right on, GB! She has one quality the other three obnviously lack...honesty ! I cannot for the life of me understand why some who claim to be conservative, especially hunters, shooters, businessmen & hard working people have turned their back on her. The only time she looked awkward during the campaign was when hostile "reporters" such as Katie Couric peppered her with a series of "When did you quit beating your wife?" type of questions.
The old story about seeing Russia from her back yard, is a lie hatched up by the liberal media. She said "I can see Russia from Alaska.". Now anyone who doubts that fact had better take some geography lessons. Once this study is completed, they will see that it was not Palin who was ignorant, but the major media and some of the more gullible public..

See for yourself Big Diomede , Russia..l;ittle Diomede, Alaska 2&1/4 miles apart;

She was inexperienced at being corrupt, and covering it up with fancy talk. Yes.
Many governors became president right off the bat, skipped the VP spot altogether...no complaints on them. Was there? Nope.

If you were looking for experience in the area of fancy talk and lies...you got it. The current president is fresh off the turnip truck far as any experience in anything. But he is experienced at razzle dazzle. Palin has a ton more experience than what you got now far as actually running anything at all. That's a fact and not even arguable.

How is that going so far by the way? Here is a clue...if your looking for razzle dazzle, you'll always have what you got. Maybe it's time we looked for something else, like a little boring honesty and common sense and logic. Palin would be better off in the Congress...along with 400 more people with her attitude, and that would probably fix the position of president all by itself...that position tends to fall in line after congress does. Not before.

As in my last post..Hunter, shooter, governor,hard worker, business person, just 5 of her accomplishments the other 3 do not share.
Jimster speaks of corruption..what, when ? Perhaps you can illustrate some of the proven (as opposed to accusations) cases of corruption or lies, if so ..shoot !
I know she has been brought up on various bogus charges by Democrat operatives & lackeys, but as far as I know they have all been tossed out by the court.
To my mind, she is much brighter and less "foot-in-mouth" than Biden, Doesn't lie like Obama and does not show the racism he does.. and is a more dedicated outdoorsman than McCain or any of them.
She sure is a sworn enemy of Socialism..that should put her high in any real American's book.

If true, then that's a scary thought.

Mayor, then governor, better qualifications than Obama and McCain.

She was so busy doing her job as Governor, that she was not up on European International affairs. That was where she got hit the hardest, by the interviewers, and that is where she looked out of place. As Governor she did not deal with Europe she only dealt with the Pacific Rim nations. That was her weak point, but could have easily been overcome.

As Governor of Alaska she did have dealings with foreign nations, something most other Governors do not get the opportunity to do. Being geographically separated our dealings with Korea, Japan, Russia, and China are much more direct than in the lower 48. That is one area the interviewers stayed away from. They intentionally made her look bad.

I suspect the "inexperience" argument is politically motivated. She has a lot more experience in matters of leadership than most elected officials. The one thing that needs polish is her public speaking style when addressing national and international audiences. It appears she is working on that now.

Ironglow,
what I meant was she was inexperienced in coprruption...as in she is not corrupt like the others...no experience there...Guess it did not come out that way?

I had read about Sara Palin long before she got picked for VP....and I liked what I read about her.
She had the sand to go up against her own party and get them in trouble for their corruption, you don't see that very often.

Davemuzz · « **Reply #13 on:** September 29, 2009, 07:34:33 AM »

I've followed John McCain for 20 or more years. And I'm from Pa. He's always struck me as an honest individual. I think he had the experience.....no doubt about that.

Palin didn't. No doubt about that.

It's just how I see it.

I liked her at first, thought it would throw a wrench in the Dem machine, but it didn't. She doesn't have what it takes, and that's a pair of balls. Just because she is pro gun and hunt's doesn't make her right for President. If the Republicans try to put her up again we will loose again. She was good for AK but not for the country. And that voice, my God, makes me want to shoot myself. Yup, she is much better than what we have now.
I like what she stands for but she's not the one.

just my 2 cents

Sourdough · « **Reply #15 on:** September 29, 2009, 08:10:45 AM »

I don't think you have seen the last of her. My feeling is she will go for a Senate Seat next. And while in that seat she will get the experience she needs to move on.

Lisa Murkowski watch out.

I agree with you.

Having been a governor is much more valuable experience than being a senator or congressman.

Palin's a good, smart, well versed and quick talkin soccer Mom. But in the big league she just doesn't have the knowledge or experience at this point in her life. It could be one of the reasons why she left the Alaska Governorship early. But that's just speculation on my part.

But at this moment in time, she ain't ready. AND THAT'S HOW I SEE IT!

Tough crowd. Sometimes you just gotta say what you believe. It's not always "swimming with the current" that helps you swim.

McCain (along with BO and Biden) had ZERO executive experience). No doubt about that. Palin was the only one of the four to hold an executive position (two actually, one at the local level and one at the state level). No doubt about that.

I though Mccain was OK untill he pushed thru campaign finance reform, which included bans against PAC groups like the NRA from speaking out 60 days prior to a presidential election. This is how the little guy is heard, by pooling resources in a group like the NRA to get some collective voice. This is just now being overturned as a first amendment violation and rightly so. Of course I couldn't vote for Obama because I was afraid he would do what he's doing right now so I reluctantly went with Mccain. How's that workin' out for me? Not so good.

she sure got a lot of what i like in a person... i hope she doesn t become jaded
by the partys fickle ways ... she put up with a lot this last time ,,also had to deal with family problems that all of us might have to deal with... she chose to give her family the higher priority ... an just told alaska
she needed to take care of some personal things in her life..now that impresses me..
its an indication to me ...she has her priorities an sticks to them..she gives me hope..
if indeed she is willing to take on the big office someday... she may just tellum no sir i got better things to do than get kicked around by a liberal press.. jmo slim
ps i wouldn t have the dang job ,,even if i was qualified,,at no salary ,,no matter how much..

Ya know I get around quite a bit and the only people I heard talking down Palin, were people who in the past were Dem. voters. Most of them try to talk like they are usually Republican voters and try to talk how Sarah is not qualified to be pres. Lack of experience, personal issues, , false corruption charges were just a few of these friendly "republicans" used to maline her. I think all you liberal scum are afraid of Sarah Palin and are doing anything you can to stop her political career. McCain was the second worst candidate that the Republicans had in the primary Guliani was the worst. I help my nose and voted for McCain the constitutional trator only because of Sarah.

Davemuzz · « **Reply #27 on:** September 30, 2009, 03:07:43 AM »

Listen,

I voted for McCain because I like the guy. It's just my personal opinion (yeah.....that and $1.25 will get you a coffee to go) that the selection of her as a running mate hurt his bid more than it helped it.

But, maybe in the long run it will help the Republican party. Time will tell. Hey......the first time Nixon ran he was stomped. (No....I'm not comparing Palin to Nixon (that crook)...so don't get your shorts in a bind). I'm just sayin....the first time Nixon ran he got stomped. The second time....he won. The first time he got educated.

The first time for Palin, she got educated.

I'm just sayin.....

McCain's loss has already helped the republicans immensely. Can you imagine what public sentiment toward rebpublicans would be like now if he had been elected!?!

His loss also helped Palin a lot because she now has 100% name recognition and is generally viewed positively by people likely to vote republican. She's also a woman, which will automatically help her because a lot of people will vote for her just because she's a woman.

McCain's greatest accomplishment in public life has been to lose the presidential 2008 election.
