If he would have gone over, kicked ass and come home,

Like Germany after WWII, we need some kind of a presence in order to prevent a worse dictator filling the vacuum.

But, he stayed because he wanted to get his face on Mt. Rushmore

I really doubt that.

, so I value traits such as competence and knowledge.

And I'm baffled as to why this persons thinks "competence and knowledge" applies to the lightweight B.O.Obama, pampered product of the Chicago machine, and not to Gov Palin who did it on her own. She paid her own way through school, paid for her own house, and won political office in spite of her party.

In 2012 she won’t have a team of ‘advisors and consultants’ stopping her from being herself

Indeed. If this idiot-boy Bookman wants to be baffled about something he could ponder the sight of McCain's own campaign sabotaging his VP pick right under his nose.

If he voted for Obama (no doubt), then he is lying in his column.

I see the president as someone who actually has to run the country, so I value traits such as competence and knowledge. They see the presidency in more symbolic terms, which means they value those candidates who epitomize America as they wish to see it.

GEEZ! Talk about projection!

To be frank, 0bama’s not “President elect” yet, either, no matter what the MSM has been pushing since the 5th.

0bama’s only the person whose ELECTORS were selected by the electoral process.

The actual ELECTORS have NOT YET voted, and will not until the 15th of December.

Let him run as a Senator then. There is too much stigma on the Bush name for him to make a successful WH run.

Aw hell, let him be president. Then we can revive the statement of the august Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes: "Three generations of imbeciles is enough."

“PRINCETON, NJ — Republicans and Republican-leaning independents are most interested in seeing Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, and Mike Huckabee run for the party’s presidential nomination in 2012. Those three received the highest scores among the 10 possible candidates evaluated in a recent Gallup Panel survey.”

PALIN/KRISTINN in 2012

If you cut out all the MSM attacks and late-night comic jokes and SNL parodies what you have left are 10 things that attract Sarah to American conservatives: 1) like Matt Cassell Sarah never whimpered at being the backup and in addition to that never resorted to attacking the McCain campaign strategy or handlers as the reason why the campaign and herself did not perform better; that’s called ‘class’ my friends; 2)Sarah is not a fake or fraud; what you see is what you get, except she had to adhere to McCain’s talking points; unlike many of Obama supporters who are plain idiots (Ziegler)Palin supporters give her this leeway, acknowledge that in defending them is where she was the weakest in the campaign and therefore will only improve when her talking points are her own. 3)In 4 years Sarah will be a far better candidate; she will have gone through a training camp (primary season) and developed her own policies and ways of speaking about them;4)there is a major segment out in America that is extremely angry that Obama was elected and who see him as anti-American in his beliefs and policies; Sarah represents the opposite; 5)Sarah is young, energetic and has charisma; in sporting terms that’s called God-given talent that owners of clubs pay millions to obtain because they are a rare commodity-in politics they are also the rarest of commodities; 6)she is qualified to run an operation being a governor of a state; that is probably the most overlooked part of her qualifications 7)Sarah will defend the Constitution until her dying breath and believes in fiscal responsibility and energy independence; her supporters would walk over broken glass for her 8) Sarah is not a hypocrite; she lives her beliefs (having Trig) 9)despite the MSM trying to destroy her Sarah has stood tall and continues to stand tall showing guts and determination; many people like that in their politicians 10)and finally Sarah unabashedly loves God and will defend wholeheartedly the rights of those who also loves God.

It is obvious to me and should be obvious to everyone that the basis for the fear and hatred that the left feels for Sarah Palin is rooted in her fundamentalist beliefs, not only toward abortion, but toward homosexuality. As a matter of fact, I think that the emphasis that the left has placed on abortion has been a cover for the gay agenda. The left thought that they could get more support for the abortion issue than for Gay marriage, so they went after the fundamentalists on that issue. Think about it, why would the lesbian feminists care so much about abortion? The left thought that they had crushed the religious right, and then came Sarah Palin.

That should be her slogan, “Then came Sarah!”
