I don't think anyone should be a trooper. I am opposed to the notion of certain citizens being given power over other citizens simply because they crave power. Crime rises proportionately to match the level of law enforcement. The un-infringed 2nd Amendment is the only effective way to have a peaceful society. As for wife beating, that's a prevalent trait among law enforcement personnel. There are far more wife beaters wearing a badge than there are in prison.
If you click the link the article doesn't mention Palin at all. I just wanted to add a little more crazy to the thread. Then Maris61 showed me what crazy is with his latest post.
to be fair, though, Sly....I hear there's a ton of radiation in the waters of Beautiful Central Oregon recently.
If I can't use Wikipedia as a source for a research paper, nobody on here can use it for a source either damnit!
Didn't Palin literally quit her job as governor? Just left the position before her term was up? How can one possibly think of running for President with a record of quitting? Would she quit her job as president when the going gets tough? I figured she killed her political career right there to chase the money. We will see, but that will be a tough one to justify if she does put herself in the middle of press scrutinty by running for president. What I can completely see happening in today's world is a reality show based on Palin running for President. But it would be nothing more than a media stunt to sell another reality show.

The all-points-bulletin attention that national media organizations gave to the release last week of official e-mails from Sarah Palin's tenure as Alaska's governor sure backfired. Not only was Palin not discredited by the emails, but they exposed to the public a competent leader and a rather decent human being.
I don't think she has much of a political career left... but for some reason the media is still obsessed with her.
Thousands of the e-mails were "redacted due to security or privacy concerns". Also a months worth of e-mails are missing. Part of the "circus" surrounding the whole thing was due to Alaska printing out all the e-mails rather than putting them on a CD, usb stick or this thing called "the Internet". What's really dumb is saying "all the information was released & it shows Palin is a great person" when really all the information wasn't released. Approximately 3,000 e-mails were not released, that's almost 1/3rd of the total e-mails that were actually released. It's like demanding Obama's birth certificate & only getting the bottom 2/3rds.
Or like demanding his BC, and getting one that can be photo shopped by some crackpot so it would look faked and then Osama Bin Laden gets killed.
Agreed on both points. I don't quite understand what the media was thinking they'd find in her emails or why it would be relevant to anything. Ed O.
because if people weren't interested in her, they wouldn't show it on TV. It has nothing to do with political affiliation as much as monetary affiliation. What makes them the most money.
I don't think people are that interested in her. I think she's one of those people who says things that a large demographic like to roll their eyes at and have a good laugh, but I don't think people are actively looking her up to see what she's doing. She's a punchline, and though I think the media had a large hand in making her a punchline, I think she had a part in it as well. Either way, I think she's run her course and it's time to let her go. If she weren't attractive to a lot of guys, I think she would have faded away long ago.
I think THAT'S why people are interested (the punchline thing, not the attractiveness thing. Mostly since I don't find her attractive). Donald Trump kind of has the same thing. He's such a tool, people almost want to see him make an ass of himself.
