*Shudders* The stuff of my nightmares, right there.
Looked at Amy Koch's campaign site. Saw this:
Oy...*Puts head in hands*
Anyone else beyond tired of this "we're speaking for the people" shtick yet?
I wonder how many of these conservatives honestly believe in the rhetoric they spout vs. how many say it simply because they know it'll get votes. I don't know which option would be more cynical and troubling.

So umm, question to anyone who is, if not quite a Palin supporter, at least a believer in her being to some degree legitimate - when something like the current events in the Middle East occur, can you honestly (honestly) imagine her as your President?
Can you even imagine her being able to handle an even remotely serious line of questioning on this right now? You know what she finds really confusing about this, as some lacky patiently points out Egypt on a map and slowly (very slowly) walks her through a history of the Middle East since WWI (for the first time), is that she can't figure out how to ram it down through the normal mangled socialisttyrannyfreedomsharialibertygodblessamerica tunnel on Fox. It must be so bamboozling for her!

Couple things: First off, given the pun in the title of that article, glass houses, stones, yada, yada, yada.
Second, hey!
This I can agree with.
Still can't figure out for the life of me why she's so bothered over this Michelle Obama breastfeeding thing, though.

She's personally not bothered in the slightest. She obviously thinks it'll play well with her base though.

Stop making fun of Trig. Teen activism/abstinence promotion pays well. Somehow I think the grants would be a much better way to spend that money.

Bristol Palin Responds: Legally Required Nonprofit Disclosure Part Of An Anti-Palin Conspiracy
Yesterday, several major news outlets reported that Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin’s celebrity daughter, was paid $262,500 for work at an abstinence nonprofit called the Candie’s Foundation. ThinkProgress reviewed the Candie’s Foundation 990 forms and found that the nonprofit spent only $35,000 in grants to health clinics and teen counseling organizations — meaning that Bristol’s salary from the nonprofit was seven times the amount spent on actual teen pregnancy prevention.
Speaking with E! Online, anonymous representatives for Bristol responded to the story. A spokesperson claimed that the Candie’s Foundation disclosure was somehow engineered by an “anti-Palin organization that says Trig isn’t Sarah Palin’s son”:
“She shot PSAs, print and Internet ads and did town hall meetings, as well, and the money she made was an accumulation of all of that. This is not out of the ordinary for a celebrity to make an income off of a charity they represent. “If you do your research you’ll find that most nonprofits compensate their celebrity spokespeople and Bristol’s no different.” Furthermore, our Bristol source says, “this is clearly something that was leaked by the same anti-Palin organization that says Trig isn’t Sarah Palin’s son.”
The spokesperson appears to be referring to the blog “Palingates,” which posted a link to the Candie’s Foundation 990 forms yesterday. However, the 990 form for the Candie’s Foundation is widely available with the IRS, or any charitable foundation database website. For instance, the form can be downloaded by anyone within minutes from websites like Guidestar.com.

Which of her views would you like to debate?
Most of the issues she doesn't understand herself so there really is no debating them, but if you're finally interested in actually engaging then by all means...

If I actually thought she had credible views then maybe I'd think about it. What her views really are=?.
I did see on the news this morning that teen pregnancy rates are down, so that must be thanks to Bristol and Candie's.

Levi Johnston is not done baring all.
The recent Playgirl nude model, who had a relationship with Bristol Palin and fathered Sarah Palin's grandson Tripp, is ready to give an inside view of the famous family.
His story will be revealed in Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's Crosshairs, to be released this fall by Touchstone Publishing.
"I want to tell the truth about my close relationship with the Palins," Johnston, 20, says in a statement released by his publisher. "My sense of Sarah and my perplexing fall from grace – how I feel and what I've learned."
Johnston adds: "I'm doing this for me, for my boy Tripp and for the country."

Wow, that sounds like such an exciting and interesting show that so many people will want to watch.Bristol Palin is making it a reality show hat trick.
The daughter of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is set to star in a new docu-series for the BIO network, in which she moves in with "Dancing With the Stars," cast mate Kyle Massey and his brother Christopher. According to BIO's press release, the series, set to air in late 2011, "follows Bristol Palin's move from Alaska to Los Angeles with her son, Tripp, to work at a small charity in need while living with her good friends Chris and Kyle Massey."
Palin, of course, has experience with cameras in her home; she was part of mom Sarah's TLC show "Sarah Palin's Alaska." This one, one would assume, will have less shooting of animals.
It was recently revealed that Palin made $262,000 for her work with a teen pregnancy prevention group, The Candie's Foundation. She'll also be releasing a memoir of sorts this summer.
The release from BIO follows:
New York, NY - May 9, 2011 - BIO has ordered ten half-hour episodes of an untitled Bristol Palin/Massey brothers docu-series from Associated Television International, it was announced today by David McKillop, Executive Vice President, Programming, A&E Network and BIO Channel. The series follows Bristol Palin's move from Alaska to Los Angeles with her son, Tripp, to work at a small charity in need while living with her good friends Chris and Kyle Massey. The series is slated to air in late 2011. She's the most famous single mother in America. And she became a national media darling during her odds-defying, ratings record-breaking run on "Dancing with the Stars." Now as Bristol Palin gears up for her work in this charity, she is allowing cameras exclusive access into her personal life for the first time.
While on "Dancing," Bristol became extremely close with fellow contestant, actor Kyle Massey. Since the show, Bristol, Kyle, and Kyle's brother, actor Christopher Massey, have become best friends; so much so, that since Bristol and Tripp have to move to Los Angeles for her new job, she decides to move in with the Massey brothers who are also about to realize how much their lives are about to change.
"Bristol is the kind of personality BIO is drawn to," said McKillop. "Her personal life has been playing out in the media for several years but this will be the first time she's opening up her real life, with her son and her friends the Massey Brothers."
The untitled project is produced by Associated Television International for BIO. David McKenzie and Jim Romanovich serve as executive producers for Associated Television International. David McKillop, Tom Moody and Andy Berg serve as the executive producers for BIO.
Um.. and yeah..she doesn't look the same

Palin blasts White House's rapper invite By: CNN Associate Producer Gabriella Schwarz
(CNN) - Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joined the anti-Common refrain Wednesday night, questioning the White House's judgment for inviting the rapper to participate in a poetry event.
"You know, the judgment, it's just so lacking of class and decency and all that's good about America with an invite like this," Palin said on Fox News Channel. "It's just so easy to assume that they're just inviting someone like me or somebody to ask, 'Come on, Barack Obama, who are you palling around with now?"
Common's presence at the event, which is part of Michelle Obama's White House Music Series, drew flack from media figures who pointed to lyrics from his songs, some of which use violent language against former President George W. Bush and police officers.
"This rapper, we thought that we were to be united under the leader of the free world, Barack Obama, in tamping down racism and inciting violence and cop killing, certainly, and killing a former president," Palin said. "All those things that this rapper has glorified and really is known for, it just certainly reflects a lack of judgment on the White House's part."
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney defended the decision, although he said the president "opposes those kind of lyrics."
"It's ironic to pick out those particular lyrics and – about this particular artist, when in fact, he's known as a socially conscious hip-hop artist or rapper who has done a lot of good things," Carney said.
Palin also took the opportunity to address her White House intentions, saying it is still too early to throw her hat in the ring. But she is "happy" former House Speaker Newt Gingrich decided to announce and is looking forward to more candidates jumping in to the race.
"The more competition the better," Palin said. "I'm not disappointed in the field thus far. I look forward to more jumping in there … competition breeds success. Competition is good for all of us in business, in politics. The more the merrier in a primary."

I really don't feel rage towards other people, especially those I've never met, and probably never will meet. But there is something about this woman that just angers me. Just the sheer ignorance or stupidity on her part where she thinks what she says is some sort of moral litmus of the country. Some how she just knows what America is, thinks, and will become.
There are very few people I wish would just die, but she is one of them. Yes that's harsh, but it is what it is. Not going to change my mind on that.

I'm just sure what value she brings? She whores out herself, her kids, and then immediately throws a fit when the media or whomever slags her off in any sort of way.
I'm sure I really don't want her to die, it's just that seems the most likely way to get her to shut the fuck up. She should be focusing on helping her kids become adults instead of reality stars, and helping out with their families too.
It's just a giant white trash family wreck that we all get to see, and I do understand that the public creates this mess too.
But everything she says is negative. She nitpicks every damn thing a liberal or this president does, and it's really fucking annoying because when it's shot back at her, she cries and hides behind twitter or her special needs grandson.
I hope she does run, because we all know she will be exposed even more as a giant idiot. It is refreshing to see that most polls have gone a bit cold towards her, so I can only hope that trend continues when she does announce she's running.

Jon Stewart had a great segment on this on his show last night. He highlighted, among other things, the hypocrisy displayed by Hannity and his ilk on Fox News when it comes to anything Obama. Inviting Common is wrong, but apparently Ted Nugent is just fine.
