Sarah Palin Still Not Running For President; Does She Have “Thin Skin?”
I got pretty excited last week when I heard that Mama Grizzly Sarah Palin was in fact running for president. But it turns the whole thing was just a big tease.
The rumor mill started off when Fox News commentator Karl Rove said that Palin’s best (and last) opportunity to declare her candidacy would be at an event titled “Restoring America” on Sept. 3. “I think she gets in,” Rove told the Washington Examiner.
Rove is a former adviser to Pres. George W. Bush, and has had several well-publicized feuds with Palin, the former Republican candidate for Vice President.
Palin’s Political Action Committee fired back, saying any “professional pundit claiming to have ‘inside information’” was intentionally trying ”to mislead the American public.” Of course, she didn’t deny anything about an upcoming announcement or possible presidential run.
And as far as I can tell, Rove didn’t claim to have any “inside information,” he was only saying what he thought.
The final blast (for now) came when Rove accused Palin of having “enormous thin skin”:
I’m pretty sure he meant “enormously” thin skin. And there’s a big difference, because otherwise, he was calling her fat. Let’s see Palin respond to that!
Would a Palin announcement even matter? Sarah Palin might have her own reality show and all the attention she wants, but 41% of her own party wouldn’t vote for her. Would you?

Only an imbecile could get excited about anything Sarah Palin does or does not do. Here is an opportunist hack who can barely manage to assemble a coherent thought, or one single articulate sentence, whose constituency is not only intellectually challenged, but incapable of seeing through her thin facade of good ole girl down home values. Palin is yesterday’s ice water. She only survives in the popular culture because of idiots like you who have nothing better to discuss.
Sarah Palin. Obama couldn’t embarass the Republican party more effectively if he was holding the strings on the Palin Puppet himself.
Ditto. Palin is a pathetic nobody that sees herself as a world leader. A zexy witty highly intelligent one at that. Her ego is bigger than her impaired mind

The reason all those Obama welfare recipients put Palin down is because they know that she wouldn’t even have to campaign to beat him. THEY ARE SCARED OF HER.

Hey! Is it my imagination, or does Karl Rove resemble Jerry Falwell? And why do these opinionated white-breads all look the same – well fed, with jowls like a hog, and a general look of lunacy about them.
The liberal commenters here are imbeciles. Obamas going to be a one term golf player (President), no matter what they think. Sarah, Momma Grizzly” Palin,will swat him out of office.I want all of them to tell us what is what is wrong with having a smaller, more efficiant government, that Gov. Palin advocates. I,m waiting for a sensible answer.
No I would never vote for Palin. She gives me no reason to.
As for Sreve D.’s comment about smaller and efficient government, it simply can’t happen. We didn’t get big government overnight and the reasons government is the size it is now was in fact to address a myriad of social problems we’ve experienced over the past 235 years – child labor, food safety, law enforcement, public education, public works, etc. – all of which we need. More efficient government we can strive for but smaller government is very subjective. Not only that – but millions of us either work in the public sector or for private enterprise whose primary customer is government. We need those jobs and plenty more.
Besides, if you believe the GOP really wants smaller government – or inconsequential as Rick Perry puts it – then explain to me why they are adamant about these abortion restrictions. Isn’t that the very same intrusive behavior they claim to abhor? Can’t have it both ways.
Thin Skined?? No way! A fighter? You better believe it.
Can any of you honestly say that you would not fight back if people said things about you like they have about Gov. Palin
26 Ethics lawsuits filed against her, and every single one she was, not just not guilty, but all were found to be without merit and were dismissed.
The left accused her of inciting that freak Laughner in Tuscon again without merit.
Form accusations of Cocain use and affairs to being called a diva and a cu*t. And you wonder if she is thin skined???!!???
Not only not thin skinned but tough as nails and smart as a whip.
Sarah Palin is a political savant and will run strategic circles around her competition.
Oh, and as far as her running, she is, you just haven’t caught on yet.
Christopher, you are correct to point out the GOP establishment hypocracy. But Governor Palin has never tried to push her own personal beliefs onto her constituents. She is truely for limited government. That, of course, is not to say that she is not an advocate for the prolife point of view, she is. Just not through force of law at the federal level.
Your arguement cuts both ways the pro-abortion side that wants tax-payer funded abortions to be enforced by law is the exact oppsite arguement that you put forth to point out the hypocracy of the GOP establishment. If one is hypocritical so is the other.
I believe the most reasonable solution to this problem is to allow abortion, but advocate against it in the private sector so as to minimize the number.
You see freedom and the choices that come with it is not an open ivitation to do what ever you wish. Freedom or more correctly liberty requires a moral and vituous people to maintain it.
Chritopher, who would you vote for?
What is your reasoning?
