Enough already with the taxes to support the lazy and non-white people.

Policy has to change in the US, political correctness only makes up more stupid.

Palin will change all this..

We will have a nation once again where hard work = opportunity to have a better life instead of the liberals throwing people table scraps.

You do realise that welfare is less then 10% of the budget, and that whites get the vast majority of all welfare funds, don't you?

They dont care. To capitlaists/republicans all welfare recipients are worthless lazy bums who deserve to die and anyone who is poor is only poor because they dont ahve the drive or capability to advance themselves. The deck isnt stacked against anyone.....

No mate, the first Rep with even a slight chance of winning the election will be the one to kick Palin off of his platform.

If you had the chance of free flights, free hotels and dinners, free shopping and cash for babbling nonsense, would you refuse it ?

I mean, you could always rename yourself Caribou Barber.

Umm, actually no, not immediately. The RNC chairman doesn't consider her viable for 2012, in terms of prez run. Thus, she has absolutely no reason whatsoever to quit now. There are no immediate concerns. the possibility of opportunity at some indeterminate point down the road hardly qualifies.


ummm, yeah.
This seems a thing among Republicans, they seem to have no problem with leaders who pick up their marbles and go home when they lose....remember Gingrich, who shamelessly used the people of his district to get national attention for several years and then said 'screw you' even tho he himself had just been handily reelected.

I dunno, maybe Republicans just identify with petulant children for some reason.

And a strong politician can also be a woman as the two are not incompatible. Hillary Clinton is a prime example of a good strong woman politician. Someone whom Sarah Palin is not worthy to lick her shoes.

Coolest post ...EVER!

Who cares?

She betrayed the left, by becoming a NeoCon, trying to use Fox News to win the Primary. What a phony. She will say anything to get elected. Not one shred of decency. It is because of her I willnot vote again. Scorched earth election tactics, destroy the party at everyone else's expense, sort of like John Edwards.

Looks like the teflon is wearing off of Caribou Barbie.

AP NewsBreak: Palin implicated in ethics probe
By RACHEL D'ORO, Associated Press Writer Rachel D'oro, Associated Press Writer – 59 mins ago
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – An independent investigator has found evidence that Gov. Sarah Palin may have violated ethics laws by accepting private donations to pay her legal debts, in the latest legal distraction for the former vice presidential candidate as she prepares to leave office this week.
Quote:
An investigator for the state Personnel Board says in his July 14 report that there is probable cause to believe Palin used or attempted to use her official position for personal gain because she authorized the creation of the trust as the "official" legal defense fund.
So since shes already spent so much money to bribe or otherwise weasel her way out of all the other ethics violations she has committed this one is finally catching up with her. Good. Too bad it'll still only be a slap on the wrist for her. What would be good to see would be to permanently ban her from holding any position of authority or public position ever. Sort of the way they do stuff in sports.
