Sarah hints at White House run Sarah Palin gave her clearest open flirtattion yet with a presidential run today, saying there's "no one" more qualified for that type of multi-tasking job than "a woman, a mom." After saying she's still considering it but doesn't have an answer, Palin told a gathering of Long Island business officials that no one immediately comes to mind for who she would back if she doesn't run. Continue Reading “I don’t have a name to give you right now, but what I would look for in character is someone who’s been on the front lines understanding how to administer and how to lead a team. ... Gosh, nobody’s more qualified [for the] mujltitaksing than a woman, a mom… who’s administered locally, state, with energy isues, so maybe a mayor, a governor maybe. During her appearance before the Long Island Association, a rare, free-wheeling public appearance for the former Alaska governor, Palin stood by her support for the "freedoms" in gun-buying that exist today. She said she prays for the "full recovery" of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords but that her would-be assassin was "an evil sick person" who was intent on "fulfilling his mission." Asked about last month's shooting in Tucson — and the Long Island Railroad shooting that claimed the life of Rep. Carolyn McCarthy's husband Dennis in 1993 — Palin said "there are already on the books many gun control measures and I do support those. ... "I don’t support taking away even more freedoms from the good guys. …The bad guys aren’t going to follow the laws that are on the books today. They’re not going to follow any new laws that are put on the books either." Certainly out hearts go out to the victims and pray for the full recovery of Gabby Giffords," Palin said, adding, "the criminal, he was an evil sick person. And adding another law to the book would not I believe have prohibited him from somehow some way fulfilling his mission and the mission he was on was to harm fellow human beings." Palin also used the opportunity to blast President Barack Obama over government debt and mocked First Lady Michelle Obama over pushing breast-feeding today a packed crowd at a Long Island business group, saying the White House is keeping the country on the "wrong road" in the wake of the new budget rollout. “ I think that’s an overstatement to even say that we are even making a dent” in the national debt,” Palin said. “It’s not even really a dent…(it’s) a little thumbprint there.” She added, “It amazed me the other day watching the president ….tell the American public, and the press is letting him get away with saying, his new (plan)….doesn’t add to the national deb. That’s not true. His spending plan does add to the national debt…that is the wrong road to be on. That is not what’s going to cure the economic ills in our country.” Palin, who is considering a White House run in 2012, charged that Obama is “trying to get away with telling the American” public “that his plan is a good plan” And she defended her swipes at the press, saying, “That’s sorta what I do.” As for breast-feeding, she waded into the discussion about the first lady's promotion of breast-feeding babies, saying, "No wonder Michelle Obama's telling everybody, 'you'd better breastfeed your baby.' Yeah, you'd better, because the price of milk is so high right now!" The business group’s president, Kevin Law – a Democrat who used to work for Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy – invited Palin several weeks ago to speak to their function in Woodbury. The LIA has host several political bigwigs in the past, most recently former president Bill Clinton last fall. Both former Presidents Bush appeared together before the group last year, which has also heard from Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani in the past. But the Palin appearance was eagerly anticipated, with a crush of media showing up about four hours in advance.

What's news about that? Sarah's been hinting at running since 11/5/08.
A half-term governor who quit because she couldn't stand the criticism is going to run for President. if she chooses to participate in the debate, she will get her head handed to her.
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
I'm no mom, but do you really feed babies milk from the grocery store? I though they ate formula or something. I guess Sarah knows as much about motherhood as she does about governing.
What the???????????? Is Palin a Saturday Night Live sketch that's gone on too long???
"Keep Your Goddamn Government Hands Off My Medicare!" - Various Tea Party signs.
Barry and The First Wet Nurse are a sick joke that's gone on too long, imho.
The more the Obama's upset you the more I like it.

Yes, pediatricians usually advise a year of either formula or breast milk. Palin is a moron in case you weren't aware.

Indeed. I think she's as qualified to be POTUS as ob@m@. Socialist ass-hats think "There will be no more money when the U.S. dollar has no value, until that time we can keep printing more." And yes, that IS from LF's answer to Ben Bernanke, go65, leading disfunctional and delusional socialist of the forum. "You want me to kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, I'll kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, Rebs, or Sioux, or Cheyenne... For 500 bucks a month I'll kill whoever you want. But keep one thing in mind: I'd happily kill you for free." Algren, "The Last Samurai" Weeeee....
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
I was once in her corner, but over these past couple of years, everytime she opens her mouth she drives a wedge between us, meaning me and her. Flirtation? BS, it's procrastination any way you slice it, they all do it. She's either serious about the office, or fishing for even more ego stroking to take it...she needs to make up her ditzy mind, stand firmly and stick to her guns, I'd have more respect for a person who did that. Her confusing, blurry stance on Illegals makes me suspect, she flip-flops on what's important for the American people, and she's no different than any other stone stepping hedger looking to grab the latina votes...she needs to make up her ditzy mind, stand firmly and stick to her guns, I'd have more respect for a person who did that. Palin said she does not question the president's faith or citizenship and added, "It's distracting. It gets annoying. Let's stick with what really matters." This has just about clenched my future vote in 2012, and it won't be her who gets it. When a possible future candidate tells millions of concerned citizens that what 'matters' to them is 'distracting', 'annoying', and they should 'stick to what really matters', they mean what matters to them, not you! JMHO!
George W. Bush did it for me. I no longer give a rat's ass who runs or wins, and I didn't vote for president in 2008 and I'll never cast a vote for a presidential candidate again. It's not like it makes any difference, anyway. I live in a state that will always vote for the same party no matter what, so my vote is meaningless anyway. I do think Palin is doing the Republicans a great disservice by playing her stupid game about what her intentions are. All she'll ever be is a spoiler.
So if it comes to Palin vs Obama in 2012. Who do you vote for? I choose Palin. If she is dumb, Obama is a fucking retard.
Did you ever vote for w? If so once or twice. I voted for him in 2000 and Peroutka in 04.
Twice. First time against Gore was easy. Second time was a big mistake, but by then W had already started two wars and we were already screwed. Then it got worse.
She is dumb, and Obama is not a retard. He's George W. Bush with a brain, not that that's done us any good.
Mitch Daniels is the only Republican I would consider voting for over Obama.

Now, I know I’m not going to change the minds of any of the True Believers…those who read all of Reverend Al’s sermons, and say things like, “You know, global warming can mean warmer OR colder, wetter OR drier, cloudier OR sunnier, windier OR calmer, …”. Can I get an ‘amen’??
Of course not, if it came down to the two of them, then we're fked either way, so why not let a women do it this time..? But I've got a gut feeling obama will not be in the running time, I really, really, think he will not run again. Stone, if you think for one moment I'm going to agree with her 100% on her stand with all of the issues if I think she is wrong, you are dead wrong, she, like Obama, is not my messiah either. I continue, like I have been, watching and listening close to what she says, and hope she is a lady of her word, but it will be her deeds that will show where she really stands. sorry for the rant, but we all have a right to our opinion, whether they are right or wrong, they are ours, yours, and mine.
Obama has a brain? Present his college transcripts. Anything he's done that can't be written off to affirmative action.
Now, I know I’m not going to change the minds of any of the True Believers…those who read all of Reverend Al’s sermons, and say things like, “You know, global warming can mean warmer OR colder, wetter OR drier, cloudier OR sunnier, windier OR calmer, …”. Can I get an ‘amen’??
Some people learn from their mistakes. Not you, obviously.
I never heard of him until someone, probably you mentioned him in a poll I put up. Then I heard him attacking people with morals. Screw that asshole. I'd like to spit in his face. He has zero chance by the way. Vote Herman Cain. Or somebody else.
Every single post you have ever made on any forum is just some sycophantic bent knee worship to anything liberal/Democratic Party. Learn? Best you learn how to support your Kenyan 2012 campaign.

I don't agree with Palin on everything either. She probably has the opposite view of me on. Patriot act War in Iraq Stuff like that. On the other hand I think I agree with Rand Paul on 100 percent of the issues I have seen him address so far.
You're a lying asshole. I suggest you look up skip_intro over at FR to see how full of shit you are.
I know what you mean, and we feel much the same way. I think quite a few Americans over the decades have been whipped into an over enthusiastic and hopeful frenzy, only to see these political shysters stab them in the back, they, like me, tread lightly, and listen more carefully, try to make our choices on 'facts', not celebrity showmanship and stars and glitter, their popularity just doesn't impress me...but that's just me...&;-)
She probably has the opposite view of me on. Patriot act I think Palin/Bachman et al who have access to the info believe it will only be applied to genuine terrorist threats and not just general variety dumbasses.

Why would Palin have access to anything? Did she need it for her tv show?
That is good point. I hope you are correct. Especially if she becomes president. Side note here. It could be argues that a woman is not allowed to be president. If you take the constitution literally that is the case.
I did and all I saw was you being a contentious asshole towards conservatives like you do here. How far back do I need to go to observe otherwise?

Start at 2001 and work your way forward. You'll see the full Bush Effect take place as the Boy Blunder becomes worse and worse, starting with immigration.
What are you referring to?
Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.
Here's why i got banned from FR: ------ I'd rather we didn't have the spending to begin with. However, I'd also rather that if we are going to have the spending, we pay for it up front rather than borrow it from the Chinese To me, it isn't Conservative (or Libertarian) to borrow from the Chinese to fund our prosperity. Post Reply | Private Reply | To 13 | View Replies -------- I'd argue history proved me correct. But back then suggesting Dean was more conservative than Bush was heresy.

btw, finnman69 got banned for posting that he would have voted for Hillary over Rudy in 2008 if that was the choice because he didn't want a pro-choice Republican in the WH.

I never got banned. I just left in disgust when the place became overrun with brain-dead posters like no gnu taxes. A lot of people who started there supporting Bush either left or were banned for not toeing the RNC/Limbaugh line about Republicans Good, Democrats Bad.
Amazing how many people were banned just for posting their opinion. We sure can't have that on a site where everyone has to think the same.
Boofer got me banned from FR - for a sizeable donation I'm sure. Of course, Boofer often TALKS about his money. NEVER about spending it.

Howard Dean, Serious Threat

GO65 to finnman69 Oh that's cute, yeah Bush is the same as Howard Dean. Bush proposes paying for the programs by cutting taxes and the resulting economic stimulus providing revenue. But you should know this. Or would you prefer a 1.7 trillion tax increase to start?
