Palin to resign

Great news, I am happy for the state of Alaska...

This women is bad news and definitely the wrong type of neocon.

I couldn't imagine anyone more dumb than W in the oval office. But Palin would top that, easily. I'd like to think the country isn't that stupid to elect this moron, but then again they did vote W in twice. Well, once at least.

Seriously though, she's too polarizing. I don't think she's what the right wants to hang their hat on for 2012.

As a republican, I can honestly say that sheis the furthest thing from a candidate that I would want. We need to get rid of the religious wackos if there is any chance of a competition in 2012. I'm not holding my breath. Sometimes I really hate being a member of a party where ignorance is held out as some sort of torch to rally around. Maybe it's time to switch.

As a Dem --well, as an American, I actually want the GOP to recover. Not anytime soon mind you, but I think they need to get healthy in the next five years or so. I don't like the idea of all the country's solutions coming from one party.

First off like her or not its a sad day when a person in or running for office has her family attacked over and over again. People wonder why a normal person would ever run for office. If this is truly because of the on going attacks on her family then she did what was right for them. It strikes me how the left seems to take the low road of personal attacks because they disagree with someones politics. Its like they cannot when the battle on ideas.

No side has the monopoly on this tactic. To say otherwise is ludicrous. Hilllary is, and may forever be, Exhibit A for the right's use of the same method.

When they do I think they tend to get drowned out by the craziness, unfortunately.

I agree but it's also important to note that it's not entirely unwarranted. You can't pull these kids out for every possible photo op, use them as proof of your conservative credentials and then bitch when people start sniffing around. Same goes for all of these family values pols who are caught banging the miscellaneous staffer/mistress/sheep and ask for "privacy at this difficult time."
