You aren’t the first or only one to think that, Independent. Around our water cooler at work, moderate people with a fair, balanced non-partisan perspective said very similar things. No doubt, Sgt Kim Munley is every bit the hero that her husband is… Thank God for people like her and Sarah Palin. They are such a refreshing antidote to the Babs Boxer, Babs Mikulski, Patty Murray and Debbie StupidCow… the Left’s contribution to society’s image of the fairer sex.

service to others, above self. check

strong, tenacious, determined. check, check, check.

dedicated mom and hard-working wife. check, check.

patriot and one of the many military families. check, thank god.

hunter, gun enthusiast, outdoorswoman and conservationist. checks all around.

a good friend described her as “She’s the happiest, sweetest, most fun-loving girl you’d ever want to be friends with – and never want to cross”. check

she sounds like a carbon copy of sarah palin. I’m surprised the democrats haven’t sent a crack team of lawyers to her neighborhood to ferret around in her trash and get some dirt to discredit sgt kim munley. patriot, hero and kindred soul to sarah palin. thank god that real women are returning to america’s spotlight… it all started with sarah’s bold leadership and willingness to serve others before self.

First, Palin is not going to be the Republican nominee for President in 2012. However, if she runs, then she will have an effect similar to Jesse Jackson in 1984 and 1988 – great inspirational speeches, lots of enthusiastic rallies, and ultimately disappointment for her followers. That in turn may lead the Palinistas to become discouraged and stay home on election day, giving the Democrats a lot more margin for error.

Here is the problem – 2012 is the year when many freshman Democrats will be up for reelection. This is the time when a Senator is is most vulnerable. (After they have been in for a few terms it seems like only the Grim Reaper can remove them from office). Recall that in 1986 Republicans lost the Senate because of so many weak freshmen Senators elected in 1980. With so many possibly vulnerable Democrats on the ballot, it is a critical time for Republicans to try and get those seats back.

The problem is that I cannot imagine Palin pulling a Hillary – mourning the loss of a campaign for a few days and then coming out swinging for the person who beat her in the primaries. Instead, she will do the take-my-ball-and-go-home routine, damaging the entire Republican ticket from top to bottom. She would do to the Republicans exactly what Jesse Jackson did to the Democrats.

As an author, a columnist, a commentator, I think she would do a fine job of communicating conservative values. But as a national candidate, no.

And then, on cue, enters AutomaticBS with his usual bashing and trashing talk fresh from his morning readings at the MichaelMooreFatSweatShoppe. The fear in his posts is as clear as the failed hair plugs in ol’ LyinJoeBiden’s hairline. Both testaments to failing manhood and a perpetual adolescence that preserves the self-esteem like a blankie in their crib.

Fear. You got it, atuomaticBS. So do your pals in the far Left Democrat Party.

” In a literal fear sweat you can smell throught the internet, ”

…….you couldn’t smell onions if they were cooking them in your kitchen…….Palin literally knows nothing, hence her appeal to know nothings like yourself…….she hasn’t the faintest chance of being the Republican candidate for president although personally I’d be delighted if she was…….Her approval rating is around 29% according to Pollster which is around where Dan Quayle was and of course corresponds roughly to the Republican base……she’ll continue to make a fat living from shearing these Republican sheep for a few years and then she’ll fade from view and live Florida on the proceeds

What is it about these far Left Democrat trolls who aren’t happy sticking to the DailyKos, Code Pink and MoveOn/MichaelMoore chat rooms trolling for mental midgets to add to their cause?

Yeah, some thoughtful constructive contribution to the discussion, eh?

Honest, we’ve just gotta love the far Left trolls here; all of them working hard to be the new Frum Forum Village Idiot… you’re deep in the competition, greenfields.

She did no such thing, Alaska doesn’t have a surplus. The fact of the matter is she managed to expand the size and cost of the state government in two and a half years more then any other time in it’s history.

“Of course, her signature accomplishment is AGIA and the natural gas pipeline. Now yes, I know, it’s now a work in progress, not built (not scheduled to start until next year) but it is on track to be finished by 2019.”

That’s not an accomplishment because there will never be a pipeline under AGIA. It was such a crappy piece of populist legislation it was doomed for failure the minute it was conceived. The mental gymnastic you Palin supporters go through to promote this fantasy she was a good Governor is astounding. The bottom line is she didn’t govern well at all . Call me crazy but isn’t that probably the single most important thing to consider when when choosing a potential Presidential candidate? I know we haven’t done that in the last twenty years but maybe we ought thinking about that.
