I don't want her to run for POTUS either, because the MSM and both parties would crucify her.
It's true. If she runs for ANYTHING, she's going to be crucified and rightly so. She has no business in government. Sarah Palin is to politics as Orly Taitz is to the legal profession.
As I have stated many times, I think she is very effective in her current role,
WHAT current role is that? Ex-governor, failed VP candidate and Tea Party manipulator? Please! She's using you guys for all the greenbacks that she can squeeze out of you! And you freely hand them over! By the looks of things, she is very effective in her current role, indeed.
I hope she runs for US Senator. I think she is a natural fit for AZ politics.
Oh, Lord. As I said, she has no business in government of any kind. She's not smart enough and she's manipulative and self-absorbed... Oh, wait. That's EXACTLY the kind of people we have in Congress now. Might as well elect more of the same, huh? Tea Party, my ass! She's a neocon with a selfish agenda. Just what Arizona needs!
You are 100% wrong and I think the comment is purely petty partisanship.
Think whatever you like. Seems like anything you disagree with is "partisan", "sophomoric" or "crude, young or ignorant"... You can't say those things about other members and then act like you're trying to keep personal attacks out of the thread, by the way. If you're going to sling mud, then you look very hypocritical when you ask for the mud-slinging to stop. I'm just sayin'...
She is *very* intelligent.
"very"? I don't think so. She doesn't need degrees to be intelligent. She needs to have a working knowledge of local and world politics. She's ignorant in that area.
Palin is definitely genuine.
She will do or say whatever she needs to to get your vote. You have been fooled by a pretty lady. She is a woman who has learned how to manipulate on a grand scale. I feel sorry for those of you who support her. If she takes any office, you will eventually see her true colors. You are blinded by her 'appeal'.
It's no wonder men get hurt and screwed in relationships so often. They can't see past the 'pretty'... And don't tell me that's not part of her appeal for you. I have read your posts in this thread. Let me just say ahead of time: I'm sorry you were totally fooled by her. I wish you had listened to me. We women may stick together at times, but we can also recognize that 'evil bitch' quality in another woman when we see it. Good luck.

Can you elaborate on which "part of her politics (and personal set of values) that you can't abide" ?
Or is every hunter a Hun to you?

BH, I expected a little better of you. To start off with catty remarks is uncool.
More cattiness, no factual basis, pure jealousy.
...
The difference between you and I is the fact that I offer data to support my stance.
Discuss the topic, not each other, BH. That's the rule.
I think it's her strict adherence to conservative principles that drives you bonkers.
I will admit she is foxy! And I think that is why so many fem-libs hate her.
Sarah Palin on the Issues
She said the GOP should absorb Tea Party movement in 2010
She supports a for-profit health care system

Denied equal rights to gay people
She didn't support the Ledbetter Act
Opposes embryonic stem cell research
Only supports "traditional marriage"

BH, why do you use terms like "anti-choice"?
How about if we call you "pro-abortion"?
Many others are merely conservative principles.
Pssst: I came back to the thread to post this: "Hunting from a plane" is not hunting. It's mass murder. It's execution.
I also don't agree with using a full automatic to "hunt" deer or a flamethrower to "hunt" rabbit and leave their carcasses rotting in the woods. These are some of my conservative principles.
Yes. Exactly. While I agree with some conservative principles, I disagree with others. I said I didn't like her political positions. That's why I wouldn't want her as president. What's hard to understand about that?
I love her and I want to bang her until next sunday but, she is kinda goofy.

I don't know what happened. The page numbers were missing for a while, and now they are back, but show more pages than exist.

I went over my entire post and could not find one instance of making an ad hominem attack on you. I think you are trying to cya over the crude "teabagger" remark you made, and the fact that I chastised you for it.

Why are you libs so damned afraid of Sarah Palin?

But you are a lib, nonetheless. And you are also very crude, young, or ignorant to use the term teabagger.

One of my few dislikes about this site is there is no provision (other than stars) for members to weigh in when two posters engage in a direct discourse. Hopefully I'm not in violation of site terms to express that I side with Colorado Jens and declare her victorious based on quoted text above. The thread starter seems to pounce unfairly on those with dissenting views.
On thread subject:
I see zero correlation between a real estate purchase in another state as ANY credible evidence that Palin is considering a Presidential run. Perhaps she simply wants to be in close proximity to her abstinence starlet daughter who is moving to Hollywood but Momma Bear Palin doesn't want to move to California for fear of stoking memories of The Beverly Hillbillies.
