Matthew you should used to the fact that Democracy is not about the best choice. Democracy is all about popular choice. I scared of uneducated beauty queen who became governor, ran for VP and suddenly quit public office. I also scared of populist President who throws out $100,000,000,000’s on social programs and gives free ride to banks, corporations and their executives who brought economy on verge of collapse.

On July 10th John Watson posted, in part, “Have you been to Alaska? Anyone can run for office in Alaska, and she is proof.” Yes, John, Mrs. Palin is proof that in Alaska our representative democratic system of government does indeed work. This is still the good old USA and being elected to public office is not restricted to high-browed liberals or to the members of some twisted pseudo-nobility meeting your particular set of standards. Generally speaking, anyone who is old enough and can prove he/she is an American citizen (hmm… can of worms for someone) is eligible to run for elected office. Get used to it.

What sara palin thinks, feels or believes is inconsequential. She is in a private world of thought, motivated by forces out of awareness, even to herself, let alone advisors & confidants. Without grounding in mindful awareness, self-reflection and humility, What she does to quote shakesphere in part,” is but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets her hour on the stage and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.
But at least a third of all Americans love a good drama;
it helps them forget the meaninglessness of their own!

Pepper,
She’s an outspoken Bush supporter, no possible way she’s brilliant. You’re right our gov’t is corrupt and treasonous, is under Obama, was under Bush, so supporting Bush makes her the same slimeball scum that’s everywhere else in Washington.

I’d waive every right I had to voting in our trash democracy if we could make Ron Paul dictator.

I watched Joe Scarborough being interview by Peggy Noonan on C-SPAN yesterday. Scarborough, of course, believes the Republican Party as now constituted is not representative of true conservatism. He believes nearly all politicians of both parties follow the party line which leans toward radical change rather than dealing with reality. Sarah Palin has shown that dealing with reality works. She is pragmatic while holding to her fundamental principals. In Alaska if you are not pragmatic mother nature will rise up and bite you!

If Palin is any form of politician, good or bad, she would at least be capabile of forming coherent arguments with facts/evidence supporting her causes. However, during the last campaign all that Sarah Palin was capable of doing was rally far right Republics who enjoy being spoonfed politics and idealogies like children. The results of her idiotic ramblings, uneducated estimations, and foolish trust in Bush policies effectively filled over 50% of the country’s population with a resounding sense of disapointment in their nation’s leadership. If the old men who actually call the shots for the Republican party actually think they can win elections by using 1960’s sexual politics with absolutley no legitmate grounds for a particular candidate (Palin) to hold that office, they will surely be proven mistaken. I trust that Americans are smart enough to keep any candidate on par with Palin out of office.

Thank goodness she realized that she is not conditioned/qualified for high government office and stepped down before her rambling and rallying actualy affected any individual’s lives. She stands no chance in the next election, unless June is right and our country does suffer from disalibility.

June Wolfman asks:
“Does half of America have some sort of audio-processing disability?” Perhaps June Wolfman is really not as smart as she hopes to be and that is why she is not understanding Sarah Palin? This may also be the explanation why insults half of the American population with her question!

Having worked in the legislature as an analyst and a professional and being around these politicians for over 3 years, I can tell you point blank, here is what I see in Palin;

1. She is courageous like no other politician out there with the exception of Ron Paul whom she supported in the primary. But she is even more courageous than he was.

2. She is downright simply brilliant. She cut Joe Biden off at the knees right from the beginning by walking up to him on camera and with full audio and said “Hi, may I call you Joe?” with that sweet grin on her full face…. I almost fell out of my chair…

That stopped Biden in his tracks. He could not say anything untoward about her after that or he would have looked like a smo….

Then, during the debate, when he would attack McCain she would nicely and folksily state the truth and put Biden on the defensive. SHE WAS BRILLIANT. I love how she is being underestimated and will be her strength.

3. Finally, she has integrity. She resigned for the obvious reasons, but I think she knows something that she doesn’t like about the plans these neocons from a foreign country have planned for us that will literally destroy our nation.

Read her speech…. she alludes to it and Alaska’s critical position between the US and Russia and Alaska’s airspace and its importance for US security. She mentions these things several times in her speech.

It tells me she is outside the system because I believe the system is aiding in treason to get us into a money making war that will kill millions of us and cost taxpayers trillions in rebuilding that will go into the pockets of those damn bankers.

I am sick of them and I bet she is too. So, lets see what she has on the agenda. I hope I am right on this as I see her as a true leader/patriot who would give all for her country and her integrity is impressive. She did clean house so far in both the mayors office and as governor. WE NEED THAT HOUSECLEANING IN THIS CORRUPT AND TREASONOUS, DOMESTIC ENEMY GOVERNMENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE RUN BY FOREIGN COUP MAKERS.

Better than the usual slanderous ridicule that mainstream media servers us on Sarah.

Jesus, it is hard to believe the shameless, brazen, corruption of our mainstream media.
