Sarah Palin for President?

[R1Geezer]

It seems the left have a new figure of hate, the amont of general sla66ing Palin is getting is getting to the stage where the public are starting to warm to her. With that in mind do you think she will get more support than she otherwise would? I would certainly love her to win the presidency, anyone who winds up the lefties like her must be doing somethng right!

What about Jack Kennedy's women friends JR? And I suppose we can also say then that girls will be girls?

"The only women in the whitehouse should be the cleaners and the cooks."

That was said about black people two years ago. Didn't go down well then, either.

Jfk was a "Mans President" and he moved the US forward and was a military man and look at all his achievments"After military service as commander of the Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109 and Motor Torpedo Boat PT-59 during World War II in the South Pacific, Kennedy represented Massachusetts's 11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 as a Democrat. Thereafter, he served in the U.S. Senate from 1953 until 1960. Kennedy defeated then Vice President and Republican candidate Richard Nixon in the 1960 U.S. presidential election. He was the second-youngest President (after Theodore Roosevelt), the first President to have been born in the 20th century, and the youngest elected to the office, at the age of 43.[3][4] Kennedy is the only Catholic, and the first Irish American, president, and is the only president to have won a Pulitzer Prize.[5] Events during his presidency included the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, the African American Civil Rights Movement and early stages of the Vietnam War. What a guy.

Mike and this will be said continually by the KKK aryan nation and all other small minded racists.

[starone]

He was also a womaniser JR as were his two brothers.

[starone]

Oh dear, I've got drawn in here again haven't I? JR joined today with one peculiar question and neither male nor female.

[JR369]

Starbuckone are we talking about his personal life or his professional one as he done America wonders and is still a god to many.

I love the tune in that song - now that could be a really successful memorable tune those folks have got down there ...

They need to ditch they lyrics though - they were rubbish!!!

R1Geezer, Sarah Palin is perceived by most here as needing only one thing to become truly a national political figure and that's simply maturing. She, as you probably know, was Governor of Alaska as well as entering politics as Mayor of a smaller town.
While Governor, she righted (no pun intended) a lot of ills with corruption and over spending in Alaska... we call it "taking names and kicking butts".

For the present she hosts a "travelogue" type show on national TV from and for her home state.

I can only assume that the constant attacks from the left are a good indication of how much they actually fear her.

Look, we've been through 2 years of massive moves to the left... towards European socialism, and it's about wrecked our country. The mid-term elections in Novemeber greatly righted (again, no pun) the ship of State and right now the newly elected very conservative majority in the House of Representatives are moving quickly to repeal the power grabbing Obama Helath Plan, which constitutes 1/6 of the National Economy. Sarah is in the middle of it all as a spokeswoman for the more conservative Republicans and the left has found her as a target.

From what I remember of Ms. Thatcher, I'd say Sarah is cut from the same bolt of cloth but the cloth is prettier and younger... but nearly the consistency of tent canvas at anyrate...

God forbid!!! World War 3 here we come!!!!!

[JR369]

I have to agree with you there clanad if she makes it too presidency then she will be the prettiest president in history :)

Sarah Palin isn't fit to lick Maggie's boots..........

[jno]

Clanad - I still think she'd be Obama's opponent of choice, don't you?

I remember the trouble Ford got himself into claiming Poland wasn't under Soviet domination; Palin's North Korea remarks seem to me equally clumsy. Or do Americans just not care about international affairs so much any more? I must say I think that'd be a pity.

[sandyRoe]

If she doesn't get the Republican nomination could she be persuaded top run as a Tea Lady? Obama must be feeling confident about that second term.

[pastafreak]

Clanad said-" Sarah Palin is perceived by most here ......"

That really depends on what part of the country you are in....

[JR369]

Sarah Palin isn't fit to lick Maggie's boots..........
In which way craft1943?

[rov1100]

They still can't get over the Boston Tea Party of 1773 which has led to a revival recently.

[rojash]

I think she's a marvellous focal point for the Tea Party - a female mad hatter.

"Sarah Palin isn't fit to lick Maggie's boots..........

How many ways are there to lick someone's boots?
