Give Sarah Palin a Hand...

That's funny! i don't even know who serves on my HOA let alone someone else's!

It's a thankless, time consuming second job.
I think most who serve would let Palin take it in a second.

Washington (CNN) - As Sarah Palin marks her birthday, a new national poll indicates that 7 out of 10 Americans feel that she is not qualified to be president.
According to an ABC News/Washington Post survey, 71 percent of the public say the former Alaska governor is not qualified to serve in the White House, with 26 percent saying the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is qualified to be president. The 26 percent who say Palin is qualified is down 12 points from an ABC News/Washington Post poll from November.
Twenty-eight percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey from November indicated that Palin was qualified, with 7 in 10 feeling she was not qualified to be president.

According to the survey, 45 percent of conservatives see her as qualified, down 21 points from last November.
The survey also indicates that 37 percent of Americans have a favorable view of her, with 55 percent holding an unfavorable view.

It amazes me that 26% find her qualified.

Uncalled for Bob. Age bias is ugly.

Andy, I have scanned this thread and way back you said something to the effect that Palin connects with 'the hard working people of this country'. Listen, I work hard and assure you, she does not connect with me. You are right in saying she is viciously attacked by the libnut left but in my opinion she just doesn't seem like she has the 'right stuff' to be our President. I am sure she is personable, accomplished in her own way and not stupid, but her pandering to the gun and knife show crowd just doesn't impress me.

Think of it like this-does Sarah Palin have the potential to achieve greatness that would warrant her image being carved on Mount Rushmore? It might seem silly, but really, that is what we should be looking for in a potential President...greatness. I don't see it in her. Surely the GOP has better, potentially great Presidents among the ranks who warrant much closer attention than Palin.

76% of Americans do not believe she is qualified to be POTUS. What percentage of them are the hate filled liberal elite discussed here?

Isn't that where you wrap a string around your finger?

30A Skunkape, your points are well taken but if you will return to post #64 and read the first sentence it would be appreciated. That does not mean that at some point in the future I would not consider Palin as a viable candidate for POTUS. She was the governor of the one of our fifty states and from all indications did a creditable job. As to why she resigned, she explained that quite nicely on Fox News Sunday. Furthermore, I consider anyone who is governor of one of our states and who has not been impeached or thrown out of office, of sufficient intelligence and experience to qualify for higher office, including the Presidency.
In my mind, qualifications for our Presidency is a nebulous thing encompassing many different and varied qualifications. I do not think Sarah Palin is there yet but she has all the attributes to be so.
As for Bob's reference to my Alzheimer's, I'll just consider the source and say I am cognizant most of the time...soirees excepted.

Which attributes are those?

If Palin had not resigned and had done a credible job of running Alaska during an economic downturn and with media scrutiny I might think differently of her.

Unfortunately that did not happen and someone who quits when the going gets tough is not my idea of a good leader.

If you had ever been in the political positions she has you would have a clue.

I am not going into a long explaination of what she said her reasons for resigning were here. If you really want to know, look up her interview with Chris Wallace. As I said previously, the reasons she gave were well said and sound, IMO.

She has given many reasons at various times as to why she chose to resign.

None of them are valid IMO.

Some have been outright disproved by research (to save the taxpayers money for her legal battles) or her actions (to keep her family out of spotlight).

Which ones specifically do you feel were valid?

I don't think any of them stand up to much scrutiny or override the fact that she swore to do a job/serve a constituency and then quit halfway through.

Obama vs. Palin speech cost analysis...

I know this is going to stir the pot, but I just can't resist. Maybe it will serve to put a nail in this dead horse. Here is a cost analysis done between an Obama speech and a Palin speech...

I will not argue with you about this! I stated that her presentation of her position under very tough questioning by Chris Wallace met my acceptance of what she said. What are your sources that completely refute the suits and harassment by her detractors? Left wing websites and ideologues? Enough! You pay your money and you take you choice!

I fear for us if she were POTUS
How would this affect our SCOTUS?

Hopefully bring it back to interpretation of our Constitution instead of attempting to re-write it.

Key Reason Palin Gave For Quitting May Be False | The Plum Line

"One of the chief reasons Sarah Palin has given for resigning as Governor of Alaska is that her state?s taxpayers are being forced to spend money defending her government against ethics complaints that would otherwise fund teachers, cops, and road repair.

During her resignation speech, Palin presented herself as a heroic defender of the taxpayer. She said that money being spent on government lawyers to defend against these ?frivolous ethics violations? could be ?going to things that are very important, like troopers and roads and teachers and fish research.? Palin repeated exactly the same point this week.

But David Murrow, a spokesperson for the Governor, said in an interview that much of this money was budgeted to the lawyers in advance and would have gone to them anyway, even if state lawyers hadn?t been defending against these ethics complaints.

In response to our questions, the Governor?s office provided us with a detailed breakdown of the millions Palin has claimed has gone to defending against ethics complaints. It does list roughly $1.9 million in expenditures.
But Murrow, the spokesperson, acknowledged to our reporter, Amanda Erickson, that this total was arrived at by adding up attorney hours spent on fending off complaints ? based on the fixed salaries of lawyers in the governor?s office and the Department of Law. The money would have gone to the lawyers no matter what they were doing. The complaints are ?just distracting them from other duties,? Murrow said.

In other words, while these lawyers might have been free to do other legal work for the state, the ethics complaints have apparently not had the real world impact Palin has claimed, and didn?t drain money away from cops, teachers, roads and other things.

Similarly, TPM reports that there are only three ethics complaints outstanding against the Palin administration in any case ? which, combined with the above, casts serious doubts on one of her chief stated reasons for quitting."

Which ones specifically do you feel were valid?

I don't think any of them stand up to much scrutiny or override the fact that she swore to do a job/serve a constituency and then quit halfway through.

I have been asking people what qualities she has that make them think she is a viable candidate since John McCain (or someone on his staff) picked her for the #2 spot in that campaign...no one has ever been able to answer that question, with anything other than: " I like her; she is just a regular person; she is fiesty"...or words to that effect.

I have come to believe it is her attitude that some people like--and it is her attitude that turns me off--the sarcasm; the manipulation; the in your face lack of respect; and the winking...it reminds me of an insecure high school cheerleader's attitude when she's trying to attract the football team captain.

Then, I add her obvious lack of understanding of issues; her knee-jerk statements; and I just can't see what that 26% see in her--and as I said, so far, no one has been able to articulate it, either to me, or in anything I have read or heard--even on Fox News.

And, there are so many other Republican women so much more capable. Kay Bailey Hutchinson and Meghan McCain come to mind right now, but we had a long list of them last year when we were posting about this.

And yet, for whatever reason, she continues to get people's attention...I think maybe it would be good if everyone took a real hard look at the situation beyond the pretty face and flippant attitude, but that's just my opinion. I just know that she is not the role model I want for my students or my granddaughter.
