Sarah Palin to Contribute to Fox News

[fightingquaker13]

Sarah Palin is gaining in popularity every day that goes by. Her base is increasing constantly. She commands, and gets six figures for speeches. Her book went to the best seller list the first day it was on the market! "Kiss of death"? You've got to be kidding! I don't see how she could be doing any better? What happened to Geraldine Ferraro after her run with Mondale? She disappeared into oblivion. Sarah Palin has a Downs child, and the "kid", (he sure as hell isn't much of a man), who got her daughter pregnant hit the road. I don't know about you, but I can come up with over half a dozen people who have endured much the same as parents. That is what makes her so popular. She is real. Not some duped up idealog who is lost without a Teleprompter. This woman has more common sense in her little finger than Hussein will have in 10 lifetimes.

You think she should have stayed and gave up millions in the process. Don't plan on being a financial adviser anytime soon. Her leaving the Governorship was destined to happen. She would have to be a total idiot to sit up there and let opportunity blow by at 100 miles per hour. Chances in life as grand as what's in store for her come along once in a thousand lifetimes, if that. She would have to be a complete idiot to let it go by.   Bill T.

We are not disagreeing here Bill. She did the smart thing financially. It was however the stupid thing politically. I don't know about you, but when I vote for a governor or president, I'd like to think they'd do their duty, not just be waiting for a better deal. She did the smart thing with the books, speeches and TV gig. BUT she transformed herself from a public servant who will sacrifice for the common good to fufill an oath, to Palin inc.. And the latter is not a bad thing thing. Commentators serve a valuable role in keeping politicians honest. Just don't tell me you quit (not got promoted out of) your term as Governor to make some green while the making was good, and expect me to believe you would treat the Presidency any differently than the Governor's office. And that Bill, has zero to do with politics and everything to do with keeping an oath.

At least FoxNews gives good ol' Geraldine Ferraro a forum , as she is a contributor quite often.

And they will do even more to advance Palin by giving her proper political exposure. I don't understand why people are in such denial about this woman? She now has, much like Hussein did with NBC, an entire news, and business network to give her the proper political exposure over the next 3 years to advance her political career. And at the same time they'll pay her well into 7 figures to do it! Is anyone really dumb enough to think she would have been better off politically to remain in that freezer pit for the next 3 years, and be as totally detached from politics and reality as one can get?

This was a well planned move. Every single bit of it. The entire foundation was laid in place long before she gave up her Governor position. This didn't come about from a 15 minute conversation with the old man over 2 glasses of wine by the fireplace. Fox News and The Fox Business Channel leave everyone in the dust ratings wise.

Liberal television is falling apart just as liberal talk radio did. No one wants to hear their country bashed 24 / 7, anymore than the citizens want this lisping Harvard idiot running all over the world apologising for United States on "our behalf". People are sick of it, and him. His poll numbers show it. And, as almost if it were magic, as Hussein heads for the cellar, Palin keeps rising. If Palin were a liberal George Soros couldn't buy her this kind of opportunity!

The naysayers are simply sounding more and more foolish as they continue their rabid assault on her. They haven't figured out what the rest of the country already knows. By insulting her, they are insulting mainstream, middle America. That is where the heart of this country is, and these fools better start believing That Is Where The Votes Are! The dems are going to lose big this November because of Hussein and all of his liberal, failed policies and actions. The Republicans are not going to have to fight for it politically. The dems will hand it to them on a silver platter. This administration is well on it's way to making Herbert Hoover look like Ronald Regan!  Bill T.

Since I'm well to the right of Atilla the Hun, what I am about to say feels wrong, dirty and a little slimey...  But, I have to agree with FQ on this one.  The fact that we are arguing about it on this board proves his point--she is divisive and perceived by many (I am one) as a quitter.  Going to FOX was a good move for her as it will provide more income than she could generate any other way.  But, many of us have a number of problems with Palin besides the fact that she quit her job.  She just doesn't seem to have the necessary intellect for high office.  She doesn't have "wisdom."  She has a lot of pointed, pithy sayings, but there just doesn't seem to be a lot of thinking going on in that pretty head.  I think exposure on FOX will finish her for elected political office just as it has for the guitar-man, Huckabee. Yes, she has a loud and active base, but at least that number are just as loudly opposed to her--not based upon her politics, but based upon her.

Let's go with that thinking. Politics, especially Presidential, is a long shot at best, all but impossible in fact. If Palin had sat in the Alaska Governor's chair for whatever time she had left on her "contract", any aspirations of a big scale political career would have been long gone. She, like most all second banana V.P. candidates, would have slipped into low paying oblivion for the rest of her life. By doing what she is doing, she is not only generating tremendous income that will improve her life forever, she will continue to broaden her base, which as anyone who isn't living in a cave knows, is growing daily. Sarah Palin was literally thrown into the spotlight overnight. She wasn't "groomed" to be "Presidential" like Hussein. She stumbled in interviews, and make a few gaffs. Fox News will groom her in forums she can not only rehearse, but can easily handle. She will have a staff of dozens helping her every step of the way. NBC had Hussein, Fox will have Palin. Fox News Channel beats out MSDNC with more morning viewers than MSDNC has in prime time! And trust me, they'll be able to teach her to read off a Teleprompter, just as good as Hussein. Not only that, but Fox can afford equipment that won't jam up as much as Hussein's does!

Fox is the absolute best thing that could have happened to her at this point. A mega successful book, and now continuous exposure on the most watched cable news outlet in history. You and a few others may think of her as a "quitter", but you are becoming more of an endangered species every day. She hasn't "quit" anything except a lousy, low paying, dead end job. She is just beginning. My suggestion is to buy some popcorn, turn on the 52" HD, and enjoy what is sure to be the best show of the decade. The whining, liberal left bitched about her high priced clothes during her campaign. Wait until the Fox wardrobe dept. gets finished with her. She'll make Carrie Prejean look like a bag lady! And don't be foolish enough to think the Presidential election isn't part beauty contest, it is.   Bill T.

 By leaving the Governorship when she did she saved the state a large amount of money it would have spent fighting frivolous lawsuits filed by liberals in KGB type attempts to discredit her.
The fact that "Moderate" Republicans hate her as much as the socialists do should tell you that she is our type of candidate.
I however hope BO steals a second term since I have repeatedly said that the only EFFECTIVE way to rid our society of the destructive socialist element that permeates it is through an armed revolutionary clean sweep.

Wow, this quickly turned into a Palin bashing thread.... and on a right wing gun forum no less

Here is the bottom line. Love her or hate her, this is an obvious sign that her political career is over. Much like Mike Huckabee and Carl Rove, Palin is now 100% focused on using her celebrity to get paid. Mark my words..... you will never see her run for public office again.

Bingo!!!

[twyacht]

She won't have to worry about "running" for anything. A Cabinet appointment, in a future admin doesn't require a campaign. If and when the majority changes again, she'll get a confirmation hearing, the left and RINO's will bit** & moan, and it will happen or it won't.

She can be a reminder to the D.C. insiders, while on FoxNews, that the arrogant,pompous days of the Kerry, Kennedy(who is still sober), Reid, Boxer, Pelosi, Graham, McCain, and a host of others, have got to go. Time for term-limits, line item veto's, balanced budgets, and the current crowd in D.C. the (insert profanity) out.

The polls show it now. Congressional Approval across the board is flat-lining. Yet Palin's approval is steady in positive numbers.

As far as her not being smart or worldly, are you impressed with the current Congress members actions that are so smart and worldy.

Hardly do any worse in that town,....
