BlainX: You got to get a hold of yourself man, China will detour the World from your Mecca and lead us to the Center of the Universe in Tiananmen Square.

I'm curious why should we, in the UK, care whether the centre of the world is in the US or China? Personally I'd rather it was in a predictable China than a US being led by a women with the intellect of a Goldfish, a dim Goldfish at that!

Thanks jvaski

You proved your point. Good job.

This is typical msnbc. Sarah had a great and funny response to Bill right after he read her poem. msnbc cut Sarah's response at the end. I have never respected msnbc...they don't look at both sides of the issues as Fox does.

Iuchi_Zien: MY issue is with cowardly self-righteous morons, whose idea of a discussion is to attack with name calling, threatening behaviour and 'you don't have the right' rather than actually argue their case. The sort of cretin who turns a discussion into a slanging match in an attempt to get the thread closed rather than actually put up a coherent defence of their position. The sort of muppet who's idea of an argument is "you stink!" If you think Sarah Palin would make a good President say so and why, if not why are you posting on this thread? Just to attack my right to say why I DON'T?
As to what is going on in my life NONE OF YOUR &^$£^*&(* BUSINESS

China is still a dictatorship, communist, with little regard for individual life--- even Sara Palin knows that. maybe u should stick to sheffield politics.

Iuchi_Zien: Isn't that just a typical American response? I'm right 'cos I've got a bigger gun! Well don't worry, the rest of the world won't lose any sleep when you find out that the Chinese gun will soon be bigger than yours, and your gun will probably end up being made in China to boot


I don't think at this point your own country is in a
much better economy and most are on the dole and cannot find jobs there. I have seen how you parliment meetings go with the Prime Minister . Everyone yelling and laughing at who has the floor and is trying to make a statement. They all act like fools with their wigs on, without any proper procedure. And you have your nerve putting our Country down. You are not a ciitizen, it has no effect on you, so where is you decency, knowledge and protocal as doing this. You have never been in office or a governor or probably never been in the United States, so your opinions of my country are Mute. Happy New Year to you and yours.

I'll tell ya, I saw Condi 2x on C-span this weekend. She's peddling her book, but she had a question/answer period. She is one sharp cookie. Her views as I see them are moderate to moderate conservative. She is quite the intellect. Her responses to a broad variety of questions were well thought out and so damn logical that even dude would accept her views.
She's very difficult not to like!



(well, that last part may be a stretch; dude) I would love to see her at the top of the ticket! yay Maybe Rubio in VP.
Sarah could be Secretary of Interior.

About Palin, she's beautiful. I wonder who her team would be?

I think the biggest concern for American politics, is cleaning up the House and Senate. That's where the problems are coming from.

Regardless, Ron Paul for President!!! I think it's clear that Obama had done everything in his power to not get reelected.

johnaustin123: The United States is a Republic, not a Democracy. This is where the LIBS don't get it.


A republic can be a democracy as well. The people vote for representatives at a local, state & federal level do they not? If so, it can be classed as a representative democracy. Of course it's not like the ancient Athenian democracy. That form of liberal democracy may have worked for a city-state, but it can't work on a national level.

The Athenian democracy is quite removed from the Res Publicae of ancient Rome, but so is the US system.

In the words of one of our high profile demagogues, 'Please Explain'.

But then, that could be said of our democracy. Although we have a constitutional monarch, with representives to rubber stamp legislation, we are still a representative democracy. We have a republican movement here that wishes to secede from the Commonwealth, however, the only change would be a president instead of the Queen. We would still be a democracy.

She fought corruption and big oil - and won. That might not mean much to you but to some on the left and right who complain, it should seeing as how so few politicians do anything to fight things like that - much less get results.

In response to: Sarah Palin made her way into local politics on the Wasilla City Council in 1992 and then ran for mayor as an agent of change. Though she established a reputation as a tax fighter, she actually increased the budget and spending on roads and sewers, reducing property taxes at the same time thanks to a huge increase in sales tax revenues coming to the booming commercial hub. She's had the same luck as governor -- a fiscal conservative in charge of a wealthy government, this time because of high oil prices.

Palin finished a strong second in the 2002 primary for lieutenant governor and was being groomed by the party for higher office when she clashed with state Republican Party chairman Randy Ruederich. They both had seats on the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, appointed by Gov. Frank Murkowski, the Republican she would later depose. She accused Ruederich of misusing the job for political chicanery and eventually resigned in frustration. Ruederich was forced to resign the job as well, though he remains head of the state party.

Palin later took on Murkowski's attorney general in a conflict-of-interest scandal that forced his resignation. And when state Sen. Ben Stevens, the son of U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, was caught making a dismissive remark about the Wasilla area, Palin appeared in a rebuttal ad wearing a "Valley Trash" T-shirt.

In 2006, she knocked off Murkowski and then Democratic former Gov. Tony Knowles in a campaign that drew on grassroots support, relying on neighbors and friends for staff rather than the party and veterans of big-time campaigns.

Her focus has been on raising oil taxes -- long suppressed by oil-friendly legislators, the taxes seemed ridiculously low once oil prices started rising -- and on launching construction of a $40 billion gasline from North Slope oil fields. Palin took on the oil producers, especially Exxon Mobil, saying they had been dragging their feet on a gasline. She persuaded the Legislature to pass a bill authorizing an independent company to build the line with state subsidy.

The ongoing corruption scandal in the Legislature over influence of the former oil field services company Veco helped Palin force change in the Juneau state capitol. That scandal has spread to include Alaska's two longtime powers in Congress, Ted Stevens and Rep. Don Young. Palin has kept distance between herself and those Republican icons and backed ethics reform measures that passed the Legislature.

I don't expect Sarah to run for USA President until 2016. In the meantime, she just wants a Cabinet position.

While that looks wonderful in the Anchorage Daily News article; she did not really fight corruption and big oil. It looks like she did but all she did was carry on work that was already in the works.

She did start some good things but never really stuck around to see it through and honestly can you really trust that if Sarah Palin was elected the President of the United States that she would not "quit" when the going got tough?

I disagree with you on this one amahlala

Sarah in comparison to Obama:

Both were given a heavy load when coming into office. The difference is that Sarah is not a quitter. She resigned as Governor of Alaska because Sarah felt that it would be better for the Alaskan people.

Obama will be forced to quit.

Sarah was indicted 17 times for her Leadership and not 1 of them stuck. Her resignation saved the Alaskan people much money.

Obama on the other hand is now under great scrutiny.

Sarah fought and won her mission with big oil companies.

Obama can't even get our economy going, as he promised.

I respect what you have written John but please understand that I was there while Sarah was both mayor of Wasilla and the Governor.

I worked for a non-profit at the time while she was in office as the governor and we had to struggle to get even flat-level funding while she was in office and that was after she had made it a point to state that she would not cut funding for much needed social services programs within the State. Her mission to fight the big oil companies was already in progress (and started by others) before she was sworn into office.

And we both know that being "indicted" with something (whether it is proven to be factual or not) is not something that just "goes away" in the public memory.

I was not an "insider" John but I was there, I raised my family there, I struggled through four years of no raises due to pay freezes and the closures of much needed social services due to flat-level funding. Have you ever tried to match going wages with what a social service agency is able to afford to pay for skilled professionals? Not an easy task and while I understand that Palin had a hard time in office, I always find it "off" when a politician will make hard and fast promises and then only follow through with the "popular" promises.

I don't believe that Sarah Palin has the necessary experience to run the country (nor did or do I believe that Obama has either). It takes more than being able to "shoot the bull" with the good old boys and being able to talk to the ladies to run a country....
