"A conservative Iowa group’s effort to lure Sarah Palin to its banquet next month has had an unintended effect: Rather than exciting conservatives about the prospect of a visit from the former Alaska governor, the group’s plan to raise a six-figure sum to bring her to the state has GOP activists recoiling at the thought of paying to land a politician's speaking appearance."

Let's see now. For a 15 minute speech (she doesn't have much more material than that) at her conversational rate of about 106 words per minute that works out to about $62.00 per word. Not a bad rate for a former mayor of a town no one knew existed until last year.

You really think so? It seems more like the right sees something there that isn't there. She's a non-issue to everyone but the right as far as I can see. By all means keep her around. It's good fodder.

Thank you "OMG". You took the words right out of my mouth.
This Woman needs to realize that her 15 mins are UP and just GO AWAY.
She was hand picked by that Moron Limbaugh, and the Right bought into it and convinced MCcain to pick her . But even many conservitives seen her as a weak link and TOO extreem, and even now there are many rumors that surround her that will soon prove to be ture and ruin any hope that she has of running agian. And the Funny thing is, the Republicnas now really see her as thier only hope, and that just shows you how out of touch they really are, cause the last polls taken showed that over 80% of women in this country do not agree with her views and dont see her as someone that represents them, AND further more , it was also said by MANY Women , that just cause the Repulicans chose a women to Run , they were NOT stupid and were not gonna just vote for her simply cause shes a woman. She Represents a Samll fraction of peoples views, and Frankly she is Annoying and trys to put on TOO much of a HAPPY FACE and Trys to paint herself and her Family as " This Perfect Image" and its just Nausiating, and people are a little more intelligent than that and can see right through her plastic image that she puts off.
Bottom line is, she is sad, pathetic, Ignorant, and just a Bore at this point, and Anyone who Actually believes that this country would elect her as our President , is drinking a little too much of the Limbaugh koolaid and dose not have thier eyes open to see what the majority of this country see's .
Palin, your Time is UP, please GO AWAY NOW.

Perhaps you are looking at your next President. I will be here to read your complaints when that happens. LOL
I will search the web to find cute little cartoons to take up space like mis nit-wit,with no comment or dialog added.
It's going to be fun.

Your opinions of Sarah Palin are as twisted as your worship of the purple one defacing the White House at the moment.

Oh please. Let it go already. You say Obama isn't ready for Prime Time, but you think she is? Stop while your dignity is still intact.

Ex politicians charging a fee to speak?

OUTRAGEOUS!

Link

"Former president Bill Clinton, who came to the White House with modest means and left deeply in debt, has collected nearly $40 million in speaking fees over the past six years, according to interviews and financial disclosure statements filed by his wife..."

hhhmmm, what grade are you in? Do they teach spelling or grammar in your school? Keep trying, then perhaps your posts would make sense...or not.

One really needs to have a sense of sentence structure to complete a thought, even though the "thought" is totally ignorant, such as yours.

Obama is out there campaigning daily on our dime, to try to get more acorns on his tree, I see no complaints from you Left Wing nuts about that. So, it's a party issue and they all do the fund raisers, so why don't you sit back and enjoy the show? No one forces ANYONE to pay to attend these events, so why the outrage? The only thing I can see is that you are scared to death of Palin having a shot at the White House, so you are trying your best to jump on the bandwagon of hate to try to marginalize her, thus trying to eliminate the threat.

Too late for that sugar. Enjoy the ride. Wink

More of that liberal brilliance!
Dumb a$$, Palin was the GOVERNOR of the State of Alaska.
MUCH higher ranking and responsibility than truant junior senators with NO (NONE, ZILCH, Na-Da) experience at anything more than being a Community Organizer. The one who voted "Present" so often.
Particularly, one without proven birth rights to the Presidency.
Gee, how much did your messiah raise at his star studded dinners with the Hollywood Bimbo?
You liberal pigs keep posting, we'll keep showing you how stupid you are.

Almost as good as Joe "Hoof-n-Mouth" Biden, who was actually elected.



Sonoma County Socialists are the death knell for this State. You have spent this State into oblivion, time for you to join it.

She has many qualities Obama lacks.

She is an experienced manager of a State (just like the former Governor of Arkansas who was elected Prez).

She has demonstrated a willingness to fight corruption, even within her own party.

She has demonstrated loyalty to America and to American principles.

She understands mainstream America because that is where she comes from.

She has demonstrated allegiance with American interests.

In fact, she has qualities that would be most desirable in undoing the Leftist "change" currently being inflicted on America.

What would you say disqualifies her, aside from the constant Leftist smear job? They only devote such energy to people who really ARE viable threats to their destructive "progress".
