Bristol Palin & Levi Johnston are engaged!
Bristol's mother, Sarah Palin, didn't know about the on-again relationship until it was revealed in a tabloid magazine.
That's at least twice Mama Grizzly didn't know where her cubs were.

Thank you kindly. I remember how lots of people had the heebie-jeebies over Ronald Reagan and he didn't win his first time trying if I am recollecting right. They were scared of him for the same reasons they are a little twitchers over that sweet girl, Sarah.
If you are insinuating that Palin is even remotely like Reagan, what an insult to him.

"Sweet girl" is not a presidential quality.

Can you see any current parallel to my Lester Maddox anecdote?
(Hint: it involves a woman who shoots wolves from a helicopter; who claims she's a Mama Grizzly protecting her cubs while not knowing what's going on with them; who compares herself w/ God & with Shakespeare; who didn't know that Africa was a continent; who is endorsing several Tea Party candidates; who is poorly educated, poorly informed & hypocritical.)
Ugabyga,
You give good clues, not accurate but OK clues. I will try to clear things up for you. My answer is long I know, but I had to try and point out your problems with your clue writing. I tried really hard to be nice about it,
1. Didn't Miss Sarah shoot those wolves from the hellicopter to help weed them out as part of population control. I don't think it was like a hunting sport. Is being a good shot with a gun from a moving hellicopter a bad thing?
2. Mama cubs misplace or lose their cubs in the wild all the time. Those cubs get to playing or exploring on their own and off they go.
Now Miss Sarah has five of those "cub"s running around and three of them are teenagers. Have you ever tried to keep tabs on a teenager? Teenagers are moody things, must be those hormones .They are out there experimenting and they certainly aren't checking in hourly and sharing their mating habits with their mama.
3. Now I don't know about comparing herself to God, you might have to share that one with me. I do know that she believes in God, attends church, prays for answers, and is a good Christian. Not sure why that would be a concern for you.
4. I do know about that Shakespeare thing cause I receive her tweets. When I read it I saw it as a joke trying to make light of a misused and misspelled word. I didn't take it as a look at me, I am just like Shakespeare statement.
5. Now this Africa bit, didn't that come from some of McCain staffers who were doing a "cover out butt dance" after McCain lost. Miss Sarah says it isn't true- they say it is. I will never believe this one, it gets a good laugh but that's all.
6. Why would you have any problems with her endorsing Tea Party candidates? Doesn't she have the right to support who ever she wants too? I am a Tea Party lady, I am also a pink elephant lady and I can support anyone I choose. You have that right too. That's what great about our country.
7. Poorly educated is really being thrown around., not sure where the poorly part comes from. Perhaps it is her personal values, her way of talking, her work ethic, her country charm, her gun abilities, that make you think Miss Sarah isn't educated. She may not have an Ive League diploma but she is educated and she is smart. She isn't your run of the mill politician. she is real, down to earth, she is believable. You are wrong on this one.
8. I bet she is more informed today, she is not in Alaska anymore, she is traveling, meeting folks, and listening to folks and she knows what our country wants. She draws crowds, she has a big following, you forget she was thrusted into the spotligh without much preparation, it must have been a "deer in the headlights moment for her, but look at her two years later, she has staying power along with growing power. The way she has been attacked by liberals is really sad, but her grace and courage shows just how strong this lady is.
9. She is hypocritica because ...??????
Miss Sarah doesn't try to hide her beliefs about things like abortion, gun control, faith, our arm forces, terrorists, taxes, oil drilling, importance of family, country, power of government, corruption in Washington etc. I don't think she is pretending to be something that she is not there are no hidden surprises with Miss Sarah.
Sorry I was so long winded with my reply.

She's not really a sweet girl. She's a media whore. Obama is a former community organizer, now a victorious President, leader of the free world.

This cleared up any notion that you are a sweet devil. Sarah Palin and her family are great examples of American True Grit to have withstood the media rape and pillage that rained down on them unmercifully and is continuing. I don' really follow how it's fine and dandy for all politicians to "use" the media but not Sarah. Sounds like a bunch of bullies to me. Some have bought the media slime hook, line and sinker. Sorta like buying all that hope and change that's turned into despair and unemployment.

Thx for detailed response. I commend you for addressing the points adduced directly, unlike the late Yzarctoo, who would "defend" Ms. Palin by telling us how terrible Barack Obama is.
It's clear that neither of us will convince the other re the merits or lack of merits of Sarah Palin; nonetheless, I appreciate your staying on topic.
You must have missed the stories back in March re SP comparing herself to God. You say, "you might have to share that one with me." Well, here it is:
Sarah Palin: God wrote on his hand too
At an Ohio Right to Life fundraiser Friday night, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin once again defended the notes she wrote on her hand during last month's Tea Party Convention. She said she didn't have a good answer to media criticism at the time, but now she has one: God did it too.
A supporter sent her the biblical passage Isaiah 49:16: "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me."
"If what was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it's good enough for me, for us," Palin said. "In that passage he says, I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you. And I'm like okay, I'm in good company."

The idea that Sarah Palin compares herself to the Lord is quite a stretch. Others see this in a different light. The light of love. A Palin supporter sent an encouraging word reminding her that as a believer she knows she?s beneficiary of Jesus Christ?s salvation that she is safe in the hand of God the Father and Christ. She is in good company.
Who could be in better company or in better hands? That lovely old gospel says it so good, so straightforward, ?He?s got you and me in his hands, He?s got the whole world in his hands.?

Creating new words is allowed by all people. Lewis Carroll made up several new words, one of which is 'chortle'. A word that describes chuckle and snort are 'good together'.
Having a good chortle here over the indignation about Sarah's new word. 😀

New Hampshire is the kickoff primary, so you have to finish at least respectably in that state. They may be Republican and somewhat conservative there, but to say Palin doesn't play well there is an understatement. She's done, I won't even think about it. I can't imagine the Union Leader endorsing her, but I could be wrong.

I am no supporter of Palin, but I don't see much difference in quitting an elected office to run for President or staying in an elected office and ignoring it; to run for President. :idontno:
As for those down on Palin, most were down on Hillary just as much and she seems to be doing really well in the Obama adminstration.

I am no Hilary fan, but she has so much more experience and skills than Palin it's like comparing a PhD and a kindergarten student.
Palin didn't quit to run, she quit after she ran because the media attention showed all the sketchy skeletons in her closet and fame and fortune were more attractive than finishing the job she swore an oath to do.
As far as the political polls, they haven't been right in my lifetime - they poll away and then we get candidates and eventually Presidents they didn't even know about.
Based on polls like this we were supposed to be voting for Guiliani or Hilary in the last election. :roll:

Palin left office with legitimate reasons. Here's what a Palin endorsement does for you in New Hampshire.
In a year when one establishment Republican Senate candidate after another has fallen victim to an insurgent Tea Party challenger, New Hampshire front runner Kelly Ayotte has found the solution: become the Tea Party candidate herself. Ayotte holds an overwhelming 47-14 lead over her closest challenger, Bill Binnie, thanks in part to a 55-12 lead with the primary voters who consider themselves to be a member of the Tea Party.
Ayotte's lead over the GOP field is pretty thorough. She's been able to unite the various factions of the party around her. She's up 48-12 with people who think the party's too liberal, 38-14 with people who think it's too conservative, and 53-15 with ones who think it's the fine way it is. She's the overwhelming favorite of Tea Partiers but she's also up 46-17 with folks who don't consider themselves Tea Party members and 41-10 with those who aren't sure. And she pairs a 43-16 advantage with conservatives with a 48-14 ones with moderates. [...]
Ayotte is up 53-11 with those who say they're positively influenced by a Palin endorsement. But she's also up 41-16 with those who say it's a negative and 47-16 with those who say they could care.

I think much more of her now than I did when she was just a first lady. I thought she was a decent senator, was pretty solid in the primaries against Barry and has done quite a good job as Sec of State.

Edgy Grammy Welcome!
Geo and Rita - how concerned are you that Bill Clinton, who did not have two nickels to rub together is now a multi-millionaire due to outrageous speaking fees, and monumental book deals that earned his millions? These are nothing but pay-offs for favors done while in power. How judgemental and self-righteous are you over this? Not much. In a free country a person is entitled to make as much money as possible. Do you actually begrudge this or are you simply jealous?
I'm jealous:wave:
