POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
“If I had to bet right now, I think we just saw the opening statement of the 2012 presidential race.”
Unbelievable, you quit your public post early, and that means you are running for president?
There must be something we do not know that has happened in her private or official life behind this.
It remains stunning that in such a powerful, rich country as the United States this woman would be taken seriously for even five minutes by any group larger than her immediate family.
Every time she opens her mouth a cliché falls out.
“It would be apathetic to just hunker down and go with the flow.”
Go with the flow? I think it’s called doing the job for which you were elected.
And her tiresome whimpering about “the real America.”
Haven't we had enough of the “the real America,” from every huckster and professional rustic in the Republican Party for decades?
"A recent CNN poll had Ms. Palin running neck and neck with former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney."
Good God, the late freak Michael Jackson's name inserted into a poll in America would produce comparable results.
Besides, Mitt Romney is a stiff, cold, and unappealing man who spent twenty million dollars of his own money promoting himself and still failed.
“We are not retreating, we are advancing in another direction.”
Quoted from the lips of the very Douglas MacArthur who was ready to bomb China with nuclear weapons and whose drive to the border with China - despite many warnings - brought a million Chinese "volunteers" into the war.
Wasn’t eight years of the first certified moron president enough?
