Palin admits considering a Presidential run

Yes, Sarah Palin is considering a Presidential run.

Yes, she would do it is she thought the country needed her and if she thought it was “right” for America and her family.

No, we’re not making this up.

Palin told Fox News — one of her employers — that it would be “absurd” for her to not consider running for President in 2012.

“I would, I would if I believe that is the right thing to do for our country and the Palin family. Certainly I would do so,” said said. “I think that it would be absurd to not consider what it is that I could potentially do to help our country … . I won’t close a door that perhaps could be open for me in the future.”

Asked if she knows more today about domestic and foreign affairs than she did two years ago, Palin said “well, I would hope so.”

Palin says her focus “has widened” since she was governor of Alaska and ran for Vice President on John McCain‘s losing ticket in 2008, adding that she gets daily briefings by e-mail on domestic and foreign policy issues from “advisers in Washington.”

Palin also defended right-wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh for using the word “retards” even though she openly criticized White House Chief of Staff Rahmn Emanuel for use of the word.

“They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh,” she said. “Rush Limbaugh was using satire. I didn’t hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with ‘f-ing retards,’ and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that. There is a big difference there.”

    Palin’s starting to look a bit like dear Linda Tripp of Monica-Gate fame. Just give it a few more years and Palindrome’s gonna be a spittin image of Linda.

    As Colonel Kurtz would say: “The Horror, the Horror”!

    At this point I don’t see how Palin could be any worse than Bush or Obama. They both are deliberately screwing us. The screwing would continue under Palin because she is so clueless. And, so are the Americans who would vote for her, just like the Americans who voted for Bush and Obama.

    I don’t know, she is the most socialist policy wise (if we count her short time as governor) from the last election but you couldn’t convince any of her supporters of that.

    Palin’s windfall tax funded a $1,200 “rebate” that Alaska gave to every eligible man, woman and child in Alaska to help offset fuel prices. That money was dispersed as part of larger, $3,269 check that Alaskans received that was paid for by state taxes on oil companies – a family of four received a check for $13,076.

    I’d love an extra $13,076 a year from oil profits. That’s most of another vehicle, or a down payment on a home.

    Palin is a judas goat. She’s campaigning in Texas for Rick Parry after constitutionalist Debra Medina rocked both Parry and Hutchinson in the first Republican gubernatorial primary debate.

    Palin and Glenn Beck have been playing the populist pied pipers while they openly campaign for Establishment pukes like Parry. Hell, Mr. Conservative Bill O’Reilley and his “libertarian” counterpart on Fox have been suggesting a national sales tax to cut the deficit and pay for perpetual war.

    So now conservatives have morphed into taxers and spenders, so long as the money is spent killing in the name of…
