Comments about: Palin is way out of Goodman's league
Ellen Goodman and her pieces have always been a great source of irritation as I really don't care what the view...

"Too bad Bush, Baldacci, and Obama weren't more like her. If they were, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in."

There wouldn't be anybody left in office. Might appeal to you anarchists but it leaves the branches of government bare when we most need to see them bearing fruit.report abuse

Sarah has had 70% approval ratings in Alaska. She has a solid conservative voting record. She has gone after crooked cronies in the Republican party. That says a lot about her character. She is pro-life, pro-gun, strong on national defense, and fiscally responsible. Look at the balanced budget of Alaska. This is a solid record to be proud of. Too bad Bush, Baldacci, and Obama weren't more like her. If they were, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in.report abuse

NoSpin - What has she done right? What has she started in the political arena and ever finished?
You keep blaming the "liberals", of which I'm not, for attacking her unjustifiably, but what makes her qualified for politics? Her track record speaks for itself, it deosn't need any help from anybody.report abuse

Sarah has done nothing wrong!! You liberals are the ones that are accusing her of frivolous ethics violations. All have proved to be false. Listen to the FACTS. Fact: She has never been convicted of anything and all accusations were proven false. Why are you liberals still talking about her? I think it is because she is Obama's biggest threat in 2012. I must agree with you there, especially now that the voters are onto Obama's tear down America policies.report abuse

Pain has QUIT everything she has ever been involved in whenever the going gets tough. She never lasted more than a year at every college she attended. She quit the energy commission in Alaska after just a year. She just quit after two years as governor.

It has been well documented that she kept trying to use her "office" for personal gain.

She's a quitter and she represents nothing more than the collective fantasies of right wingnuts.report abuse

Folks seem to froget that most of Sarah Palins problems were there long before she was the VP nominee. She was embroiled in controversy as mayor, and was embroiled in contorversy form the day she took the Governors office. The fact that she is entertaining is undeniable, but she's about as qualified as Rush to be VP. Being the controversial Governor of a state with less then a million people, (less poplutation the most of the mid to major cities in the lower 48), then quitting when the going gets tuff, does not qualify her for anything political. She should stick to the fishing business. As far as the rest, in the 7-months the present administration has been in office, I haven't heard or read of a single, viable solution to the problems facing America by any Republican; just attacks about whats being tried and whining that the media is biased against them. They had six years where they controlled Congress and had a Republican in the White House, what did they do but hasten the drive into the mess we're in. Politics is this country, they two party system is an abject failure for the rest of the world to see. All that is done is one side blaming the other for all the problems, not taking responsibility for any thing and denying any thing wrong they've done by blaming it as a vicious political attack by the other side. We need to get them ALL out of offlice. Next election ONLY vote for someone who's never been there before. ANY NEVER, EVER, EVER ELECT A LAWYER TO ANYTHING!report abuse

The only explanation is that they are truly afraid of her and what she stands for.

This democrat isn't afraid of her. This D prays every night that she will run simply for the entertainment value.report abuse
