"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."- h. l. mencken

That is very, very true.


Good for her, finding her nitch.

Not bad at all is all I have to say and the figure is possibly a lot more. The dangerously erratic liberals were trying to bankrupt her through those bogus nuisance “ethics” lawsuits in Alaska that were dismissed for no evidence, so I hope now Sarah is laughing all the way to the bank. This woman has poven she has got what it takes to be President. Putting deals together and marketing herself has proven successful and that is what the US needs to be prosperous.




Sarah Palin Has Earned An Estimated $12 Million Since July - ABC News

Pundits can debate the political costs and benefits of Sarah Palin's decision to step down as Alaska governor, but the monetary advantages of leaving her $125,000-a-year public service post are beyond dispute.

Since leaving office at the end of July 2009, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee has brought in at least 100 times her old salary – a haul now estimated at more than $12 million -- through television and book deals and a heavy schedule of speaking appearances worth five and six figures.

That conservative estimate is based on publicly available records and news accounts. The actual number is probably much higher, but is hard to quantify because Palin does not publicize her earnings. She reputedly got a $7 million deal for her first book, with the bulk of that money due after her resignation as governor, and $250,000 per episode, according to the entertainment trade press, for each of eight episodes of a reality show about Alaska for the The Learning Channel. She has managed to keep a lid on reliable figures for her earnings from a multi-year contract with Fox News and a second book deal with HarperCollins.

A Palin aide responding to questions from ABC News said the governor "is now a private citizen. As a result, her fees and earnings are private."

Sarah Palin works hard and works smart. She actually earns her compensation and represents the optimism of many. She is good for the conservative party in many ways. However, she isn't qualified to be the POTUS, and won't be in her lifetime. JMHO. I am keeping a favorable eye on Michele Bachmann and Paul Ryan, and as always, faithfully, Mitt Romney. He is the guy America needs! No, not perfect, but he knows business and he knows the economy and how to create jobs. Our country would prosper under his leadership, of which he has had for many years.

Couldn't agree more.

I like Palin and always have. Some on this board think she's stupid. Not me. I think she's pretty damned smart.

Like you. I don't see her running for President. I think she accomplishes way more simply doing what she's doing. Fundraising and backing GOP candidates and helping her party.

I like Ryan and see him as an up and coming young gun for the GOP. He's a whiz with budgets and numbers and I think he has a bright future.

I also like Mitt Romney. He is business savvy and also and good with budgets. He also has some good ideas for job creation. Something the current POTUS isn't even looking at.

Romey does have the HC in MA that he helped enact to deal with but all in all I could vote for him as Prez. Heck. Mayby he could ask Gerry Brown for info on that 11% flat tax Brown ran on. LOL
.

I think she's smart about certain things. Look how she has all of the greedy conservatives applauding her fortune.

I'm not a "greedy" conservative but I can sure applaud anyone who makes it in todays day and age. No matter what party they support.

Good for her. Hope she makes another 12 million. You betcha!!!

I think it's fantastic. The Republican base LOVES to be "used". They always vote against their own self interests.

Sarah "Jubilation T Cornpone" Palin.

Republicans, for all the good they've done this country in the last 20 years, deserve her leadership.

I wish I made 12 million ever.

Be very careful what you with for.

I guess it was a smart move to retire from Governor of Alaska...

Retire? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RETIRE? That stupid fucking whore didn't retire.

Lemmie 'splain it to ya..........

In the military, when you COMPLETE 20 or more years, THEN you retire.

If you only complete half of your enlistment? You quit, because you didn't complete the enlistment you signed up for.

Palin QUIT halfway through her career as governor. What's even stupider is that she expects people to call her governor.

As far as a Bachman/Palin ticket for 2012? Sure........bring it on.........who doesn't want some conspiracy theorist (Bachman), who is pulling the puppet strings of some stupid moron that looks good (Palin).

Shit.......when I saw them up at the tea bagger convention, they were gobbling each others' snatch right there on stage, what with all their saccharine smarmy compliments to each other.

No wonder the GOP hangs out in lesbian bondage clubs, they're looking for something similar to Palin and Bachman.

More qualified than Palin.
And many thought Bush was highly qualified. And some still do.
Around 30% of republicans still think Bush was an outstanding president.

the same deadenders who think sarah palin is qualified.

 

[Claudette]

Hmmmm Wonder how many still think OL'BO is qualified to be the POTUS???

 

[ABikerSailor]

Hmmmm Wonder how many still think OL'BO is qualified to be the POTUS???

Doesn't matter, Obama has been president for over a year, Palin never has.

Obama is more qualified than Palin ever will be.

 

[Claudette]

You may be right as of now.

Sure wasn't the case then though.

Ol'BO had little or no experience to be President but that sure didn't stop him from being elected.

Funny how that works doncha know??? LOL

What exactly is it that makes the Wasilla Chihuahua more qualified in your eyes?

At least Obama left his job as a Senator because he was promoted, not because he quit.

At least Obama left his job as a Senator because he was promoted, not because he quit.

Lets see. Obama was in the US Senate as a junior Senator by default for 143 days running for the presidency the whole time while voting present when it came to bills vs Palin who was a Executive Governor of the largest Energy and Strategic Defensive State in the nation for 641 days. Yes Palin has more experience to hold the office of President. Palin commanded the only active 24/7 National Guard Missile Unit that stays on alert in the US, the 49th Missile Defense outfit that protects us from incoming Russian Nukes. Palin was the first ever to send the new F-22 Raptor Stealth Fighter to escort a Russian Bear Bomber that was violating Alaskan Air Space.

Over Alaska -- A 90th Fighter Squadron F-22A Raptor escorts a Russian TU-95 Bear out of Alaskan NORAD Region airspace Nov. 22, 2007 when Governor Palin was alerted to the Bomber entering into Alaskan Airspace. This marked the first time a Raptor was called upon to support the ANR mission. U.S. Air Force photo

Put it this way: he spent most of his time as a Junior Senator running for the Presidency and was hardly around to vote on anything WHICH was his JOB as a Senator. He bailed out on his job as a Senator.

You know.....in the military, we have another program which offers enlisted members to go to the officer ranks.

If a servicemember gets selected, they are taken to BOOST school, and at the end of it, they are discharged from enlisted service and made officers.

That is actually considered a good thing, as it's advancement and promotion.

What part of going from Senator to President (being promoted), do you keep missing you fake ass wanna be veteran (yeah, the whistle has already been blown on your stupid ass)?

By the way ya penis puffing cocksmoker, what units did you serve with, and from when to when?

And.........exactly what is it that makes the Wasilla Chihuahua qualified according to you?

Easy question if you have the answer, hard if you're trying to come up with talking point bullshit.

We are not talking about the military. We are talking about Palins overwhelming executive experience and success making money compared to a negro Kenyan Usurper named Barack Obama who was a senator by default. If you want to discuss my military credentials I suggest you scroll back on my posting history to find out since it is not the topic subject at hand. Show your maturity on these boards with losing the profanity.
