People "age" at different rates- my father just died at 71, and there is really no way he could have worked for the last four years, yet up until 63 he was going gang busters. He had a "desk job" as a newspaper publisher then as a chamber of commerce CEO.
People have to to be forced to understand the futurity of their actions: if you choose to have a difficult job that has a low paying income, then either educate yourself and make more $ or accept that you will have less $. My father had no college education, and served four years in our armed forces, BTW, but he studied with self education programs. I see folks not taking the steps needed to buy the things they want for their family, and then ***** about not being able to afford those things and expect others to buy those things for them. Gov spending starts with folks understanding that YOU yourself need to accept the futurity of your own actions, and the gov is just others like you slogging away thru life with problems just like you. The gov is not a free handout, yet community "leaders" keep telling many groups that it is. The govt needs to stop spending overseas, both military and "aid". We need to protect our own borders, to protect our own businesses, and to stop "paying" folks that have little to no productivity primarily because they chose unintelligent paths in life. The gov needs to freeze spending and cut services and programs. It needs to get smaller, not bigger.

That pretty much covers it.

She always does well, that's why the liberals and leftists hate her.

The more they bleat, and gossip The more her ratings soar! - just like Fox News. he -he

Pushin' 50......what a babe! She's not only gorgeous, but rich too! Just like someone else I know.

Good lord. Palin never does well. She just repeats a worn out list of canards. That you cannot see the garishness of her plastic grin in the photo in your sig speaks volumes.

The left hates her? No, they see through her paint by the numbers phony-ness.

Mrs Palin is as Middle America as it gets, Married, 5 kids, didn't dump the one they knew was going to an issue into the garbage, a teen who we all know made a mistake with another teen SO WHAT

maybe most have never had an opportunity to actually speak to a real, mom , who goes to church ,I know oh my god how evil YEA right , was picked for her ability's to run for VP , had the Mc Cain campaign left her alone she would have done much better the pundits who went after ( HER ) Guess what , all but one is gone. the people turned them off on TV and now they write books i guess no one will buy

you guy's are really something , The views about conservative woman, the way its been written by many on the site if you were to be involved a criminal investigation, would put most in jail by your own words only , not having done anything -- jz

While all that might be true, she did quit her position as Gov BEFORE the term was up. What says that she will serve out her next appointment to the end?

S'funny, I'm up in WA state - we just threw an 80th birthday party for my real mom, who - true story - also had 5 kids, I say "had" because the fifth, who was born severely retarded, died at age 10. We had no advance warning that the last child would have problems. I spent a good bit of time yesterday talking to real moms, most all of whom go to church.

The lady is a better person than your average derelict-drunkard but a deep thinker she is not.

As usual, your post is gibberish.

You make my points so well about the liberal left.

I would widen my sights a bit, and dump EVERYONE in 2010 who voted for this massive overspending; everyone who added his special pork to an unrelated Bill.

Then, repeat at every election. Sort of like the instructions on the shampoo bottler, " Lather rinse, repeat".

Probably will be all of them.

But does it help if you keep rinsing with water from the same dirty bowl? I think not. This is like Wal*Mart. We grumble that they sell crappy products but we tell them to sell it via our purchases. We need to stop buying what they are selling. At that point, they will either change their business model or go out of business. You can't tell them what you want and then blame them for the product you got. We need to stop asking them for the stars and the moon. We hate Mom & Dad because you ask for stuff and they have to say "no". But Grandpa and Grandma just give freely so we love them. Same as who we vote for. We want them to do all kinds of crap and they gave it to us. Well, that has a price to pay and when that bill comes due, we ask once more for them to take care of it and so on and so forth.

Why do you think I will generally vote for the candidate that promises the least. The less they do, the better I feel. Maybe not today but in the long run. Sure, we need he govt to do certain things but we have expanded their role to the point that we want them to take care of us from cradle to grave.

In my opinion ( for what THAT is worth) is that SP is more useful as a lightening rod to the left. Her ability to irritate the Left is her most useful commodity.
Her political instincts are nearly perfect; she is, however, flawed in that she is unable to speak intelligently beyond those instincts.
Good as a commentator.

Personally, I like the fact that Sarah uses plain ol' english. For the life of me I can't figure out what is so "intelligent" about someone who says they are giving you money, when they are actually picking your pocket. I think it just pisses off the elitists that she didn't go to an Ivy League college, yet so many people like her. The so called intelligence that Sarah supposedly lacks seems to only be necessary when you are trying to fool all of the people all of the time. I'll take morals and principles over degrees and verbiage any day. BTW- how many states are in the US according to BHO?
