Here's a clue. The vast majority of voters already know that Ryan is an asshole. No chance. None.
I admire your confidence.
But I disagree.
The field of GOP clowns, including Ryan, is like the white flag of surrender for the cons. Being right is being wrong. And they would rather be right and wrong, than be winners. McCain/Palin proved it, and so did Mittens. The middle is not in their vocabulary. The vast majority of this country is not into extremists. Hilary will play the middle.
I admire your confidence.

Of course Hilary "will play the middle".
You may be easily played to vote for someone that plays voters for their vote but those of us that know better do not like being played.
We vote for people that do what they say.
The hard decisions need to be made. As of now 51% of Americans are net takers from taxpayers.
That has to end. Please join us so our kids, grandkids and great grandkids do not have to pay for all the vote buying going on now to prop up a moocher class.

If they run Palin it will be Comedy.
If they run someone serious, I might have to Vote.
Some of you guys have a really funny picture of what you think the other side is or thinks like.
I believe most do not see Palin as a viable candidate.
I believe many see Hillary as a viable candidate
I believe someone like Ryan will bring to the campaign some very viable solutions that the moderates will listen to.
As I believe Hillary will.
I see Palin as "viable". She is certainly one of the smartest and most knowledgeable the right has to offer.
I know you are, but what am I? NA NA NA NA NA! Shrub Jr. left Obama with a $1.2 trillion annual deficit and a collapsed economy. If you had a brain, you'd take it out and play with it.I admire your confidence.

As governor, Palin demonstrated many of the qualities we expect in our best leaders. She set aside private concerns for the greater good, forgoing a focus on social issues to confront the great problem plaguing Alaska, its corrupt oil-and-gas politics. She did this in a way that seems wildly out of character todayby cooperating with Democrats and moderate Republicans to raise taxes on Big Business. And she succeeded to a remarkable extent in settling, what had seemed insoluble problems, in the process putting Alaska on a trajectory to financial well-being. People need to realize that Alaska is tied for the second most powerful governorship in the United States. Here is her record of accomplishments that would even outshine Hillary Clinton.
Energy Independence, Development, and Environmental Stewardship:.
*Governor Palins administration opened up drilling for oil and natural gas at Pt. Thompson for the first time in decades.
*Governor Palin created the Alaskas Petroleum Integrity Office to oversee all aspects of energy development and to make sure oilfield equipment was safe to operate and a Climate Change Subcabinet to comprehensively and honestly evaluate climate change.
Fiscal Conservatism:
Governor Palin reduced spending in her budget for Fiscal Year 2010 by more than one billion dollars from the previous governors Fiscal Year 2007 budget, a 9.5% real reduction in spending. Her FY2010 budget was $10.57 billion compared to Governor Murkowskis FY2007 budget of nearly $11.7 billion. At the same time, she fulfilled her campaign promise to forward fund education, allowing districts greater flexibility and predictability in their planning.
A general rule of thumb for both liberal and conservative administrations is to claim that they may reasonably increase spending every year at a rate of 2% to 3% because of inflation and that should not count against them as increased spending. Even if we use the low end of inflation at 2%, Governor Palins budget could have been (without calling it a spending increase): $12,413,374,459.20
Of course, the budget is not $12.4 billion; it is actually $10.57 billion. In other words, she cut spending.
In FY2007, Gov. Frank Murkowski requested $350 million in federal appropriations, which Gov. Palin reduced to $256 million in FY2008, $198 million in FY2009, and $69 million in FY2010.
*Governor Palin reduced earmark requests for the state of Alaska by 80% during her administration, requesting only earmarks that would benefit the country as a whole.
See what I mean about leading by example? Not only has Governor Palin dropped the federal requests for money by 80%, she had also been slowly chipping away at these numbers since the beginning of her administration.
FFY2007- Gov. Murkowski 63 projects at $349,497,000
FFY08- Gov. Palin 52 projects at $256,037,000
FFY09- Gov. Palin 31 projects at $195,094,900
FFY10- Gov. Palin: 8 projects @ $69,100,000
As you can clearly see, there was a noticeable drop in federal requests year after year during Governor Palins administration.
*Governor Palin opposed much of the stimulus, wanting only to accept 55% of the money allocated to Alaska, specifically only dollars dedicated to infrastructure [projects. Although the Alaskan legislature ultimately overturned her veto, she stood firm on her commitment to help Alaska to become more self-sufficient while not adding to not add to the skyrocketing national debt.
* Governor Palin invested $5 billion in state savings.
Walking the Walk on Fiscal Responsibility:
Lowered unemployment insurance tax rates
Vetoed 361 line-items in 2008.
Utilized line item reductions to reduce proposed spending by $80.3 million in 2009.
Instituted a temporary hiring freeze to reduce expenditures during a period of unanticipated low oil prices in 2009.
*Governor Palin sold the private jet purchased by the previous governor. She state it was an unnecessary financial burden on the state and was unable to land on many of the states landing strips.
* To cut costs that would be incurred by continuing to use a personal driver like previous governors, the governor drove herself from Wasilla to her office in Anchorage. She also dismissed the governors personal chef stationed in Juneau, Alaskas capital.
* Governor Palin accepted less state per diem for herself and her family than her predecessors even though she had a larger family.
10th Amendment Advocacy/Promotion of State Constitution:
*Showing that she is a strong supporter of the 10th amendment, Governor Palin advocated for the sovereignty of the state of Alaska.
*Governor Palins administration sued the federal government for placing the polar bear on the endangered species list, as this restriction affected energy development which would increase energy costs.
*A Constitutionalist, Governor Palin signed Alaskas Clear and Equitable Share (ACES) bill into law. The Alaska constitution states that the Alaskan people own the oil and other resources. This law ensures that the owners, the people of Alaska, receive a clear and equitable share of oil profits.
National Defense/Veterans
*Governor Palin supported ground-based missile defense Ft Greely and other Alaskan Bases around to protect America from Americas enemies. She criticized the Obama administration for cuts that they made to this national defense system.
*Governor Palin, with Senators Murkowski and Begich, fought for retirement benefits from the federal government that were due to the Alaska Territorial Guard members who fought during World War II. These benefits were eventually rewarded to these veterans by the federal government.
Transparency/Anti-Corruption:
*Governor Palin signed bipartisan ethics reform legislation into law that helped to hold both the legislative and executive branches accountable.
*Governor Palin put the state checkbook online, allowing all constituents to see how state money was being spent.
* Governor Palin exposed legal violations and conflicts of interest of Alaska Republican leaders, including the former state Attorney General and the State GOP Chairman (who was also an Oil & Gas Commissioner), who was doing work for the party on public time and supplying a lobbyist with a sensitive e-mail. Several went to jail.
Health Care:
*Governor Palin introduced health care transparency legislation which aimed at putting information in the hands of consumers about cost and quality of health care as a way to make health care consumer driven and accessible.
Sanctity and Dignity of All Life:
* Governor Palin strongly supported both parental consent and parental notification legislation.
*Governor Palin increased educational funding for special needs children.
*Governor Palin implemented the Senior Benefits Program to support low income seniors.
Positions Held while Governor:
* Chairman of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission.
*Vice Chair of the National Governors Association Natural Resource Committee.
* She served as chair of the Alaska Conservation Commission, which regulates Alaskas most valuable non-renewable resources: oil and gas. She was elected by her peers to serve as president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors. In this role, she worked with local, state and federal officials to promote solutions to the needs of Alaskas communities.
Governor Palin signed legislation and resolutions during July 2009. They were:

SJR-3: The resolution expresses support to Congress for repealing the ban on carrying a firearm on National Park Service lands.
SB-3 Requiring information sharing between two agencies.

The Governor appointed 29 people to boards, commissions and councils and made three judicial appointments between July 6, 2009 and July 26, 2009.
Governor Palins total appointments for 2009 was 123, including 116 to boards, commissions and councils, five judicial appointments, one legislative and one attorney general. Governor Palin averaged one appointment every 1.67 days during 2009.

The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard is the first line of defense unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic missile attacks. Its on permanent active duty, unlike other Guard units in the United States. As governor of Alaska, Palin was briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counterterrorism daily.
Governor Palin was the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Securitys counterterrorism plans.
So there you have it. Her record was phenomenal. It is why the liberal media refused to report these accomplishments during the 2008 election. They didn't want her to upstage Obama due to his inexperience and his lack of holding a executive job at governing.

snobs like you people will be our downfall
Obama graduated magna cum laude from a top Ivy league school. What scholastic achievements did the Sarah "The Quitter From Twitter" Palin accomplish to indicate intelligence?

LOl, Obama graduated blah blah blah, so that's why the majority (almost 60%) of the people hate his guts...his brilliance in graduating...
The man has never held REAL job in his pathetic life and was handed his government position is one of the crookedest State (Illinois)governments in the country
but he be the man and DESERVES to be President more than anyone in the country...even over Hillary as we saw you people kick to the curb
so face it...you say Democrats stand up for Women, look at any Palin thread and how you people treated Hillary over THE MAN for President
You snobs will be the death of us, just look where we are now with the idiot you put in as President...more government we get to pay for, unemployment hardy improved, welfare EXPLODED, poverty up, and we are all way worse off under his rule.
gives yourselves hand, but by golly at least it's not under Palin
Newsflash: no scumbag showcasing or publicized on the establishment media would make a good president. end of subject.Sarah Palins Executive Record As Governor Is Proof She Would Make A Fine President
And you would guessed wrong as he took graduated from law school. As far as Palin being president, there's nothing she could have done in her first 2 years that would have been better than Obama and that's only about as far as she would have gotten into her presidency before she quit.Palin would have been far better Prez than our current Socialist in Chief. 4-1/2 years later and we're still in a financial/economic slump. I'm not certain what courses Bama took in college but I'm guessing that they had little to do with leadership or early American history. If they did ... he was absent when those issues were discussed.

Stephanie won't be able to answer that one. She probably can't even give her own scholastic achievements. For her, ignorance is bliss.
