I think that she will become overplayed and the public, which generally has the attention span of a two year old, will tire of her and move on to some other new and sparkley object. By the time that 2012 roles around she will be an afterthought. That isn't to say she won't try to be a presidential nominee, but she has two problems with that. First, she blamed the RNC for the clothing fiasco, and they don't take kindly to being blamed. So where will she get her money if her own party won't support her? 2nd, she already isn't chipping in and helping with the races of Chambliss and others that are still going on, and the RNC doesn't like that either. She isn't a team player, she is all about Sarah Palin. And I am soooo through with her.
So long Palin! Don't let that door you will burst through hit you in the butt.
In an article about the Bill Ayers interview, Ayers said:
Chicago - Vietnam-era radical Bill Ayers said Friday that he doesn't know President-elect Barack Obama any better than “thousands of other Chicagoans” and that the two never talked about Ayers' anti-war activities.
Maybe you, History Chaser, should check YOUR facts.
About Sarah Palin. It is pretty obvious to any objective person that she is way over her head in the political arena. Just compare her answers to things with any other high profile politician (like Olympia Snowe, for instance) and it becomes obvious Sarah Palin is not equipped either intellectually or emotionally. I think right now everyone's fascination with her is for amusement and a distraction from what is happening to our economy. We need a distraction and it is kinda fun to Sarah-bash because she soooo deserves it.You people that continually post on the storys about Palin that you don't want to talk about her or read about her are still reading about her and posting about her just by the very act of posting in the comments section about a story about her..... heh
..... with anyone who conciders Sarah Palin intelligent. Mercilously ambitious and narcissistic, yes. But intelligent? Try reading a transcript of anything she has talked about, and that includes the debate, and it is just a maze of incomplete sentences framing nothing of substance. I do say she is very good at not saying anything. I'll give her that. At every turn I have tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and tried to see what her fans see in her, but I just end up scratching my head.
This is a very interesting interview, Thanks! ... having been a teenager at the time, I remember the news reports about the Weather Underground. I also remember all the protesting by everyone else I knew, including myself, as I watched my fellow male students being sent to Vietnam involuntarily. It was a terrible terrible time.
I was shocked and disturbed by McCain and Palin dragging Ayers tenuous relationship with Obama into the election, like it was some "evil" secret conspiracy that the two of them had. I personally think that McCain and Palin need to apologize to Ayers, Obama, and the American public about this misrepresentation and slander. What distresses me, is that Palin STILL is talking about Obama "palin' around with the terrorist Ayers" ... like it is somehow true that Obama has the same opinions as everyone he has ever met, and that Ayers is some out of control Domestic Terrorist and not a university professor.
You really had to be there. Bill Ayer's Weather Underground was only a tiny tiny part of all the protesting. As time went on, protesting got more and more violent, because the government was not paying any attention for a long time.
When parents kept losing their sons to that horrible war, they too joined in the protests. I had several friends of mine lose limbs and had no real effective care through the VA when they came back. Some protesters were mowed down with bullets on campus (Kent State, etal.)and many were arrested, even when peacefully protesting.
About our withdrawal from Vietnam and Cambodia .. first of all, we weren't even supposed to be in Cambodia, and that was a tragedy. Richard Nixon, a Republican, was the one who did the immediate withdrawal of all troops, leaving the South Vietnamese to fend for themselves. I thought we had learned an important lesson from Vietnam, until of course Iraq. We need to get out of Iraq before any more Americans and others lose their lives and limbs.
About McCain and his honor? Really? Yeah, him and his good friend G. Gordon Liddy. G Gordon Liddy made plans to bomb the Brookings Institute, kidnap congressmen, and also went to jail for the buglary of the DNC headquarters at the Watergate. McCain was also part of the Keating 5, and took illegal trips and money for favors from Charles Keating. Also McCain, while he was a prisoner in Vietnam was known as the "songbird" because he gave real information to the enemy, and made propaganda films for them.When my husband and father were in Vietnam, they actually saw these films. It is no myth.
This weak link to Bill Ayers is just that. What do you mean, we can't take their word for it? Why not? Whose word would you take for it? Someone who didn't know either of them, John McCain and Sarah Palin???
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
219 Democrats and one Republican join in favor of the legislation, which passed by a narrow margin
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
