even after this butchered sentence, i'd like to ask "then what was it"?
Crack back? lol...Only a idiot would think the GOP q&a was a debate. Someone asked a question, the liar answered, insulted, then onto the next question.

Why?
Are you that dense?
I'm glad Palin is getting and will get all the attention that she seeks for the next presidential race. She either is going to win, or hopefully crash and burn so badly we'll never hear from this again.
How fricken corny is that. What, she didn't think the event was televised? That's low budget.
Sarah Palin needs to realize that being a MILF does not mean you can run for president or act like you're a wise politician. If she really cares about the future of the Republican Party, she will go away and stay out of the spotlight.
However, she seems to only care about herself and money. I will admit that she did look hot in that outfit. I saw a clip of the Q&A and she kept on rubbing one of her legs. I wonder if she was trying to give the guy with the mic a boner?
Maybe because she went after Obama for reading from a teleprompter?

VINTAGE PALIN MOMENT: Sarah Palin Reads Answers off of Her Hand
Palin gave her $115,000.00 speech tonight to an audience of less than enthusiastic Tea Partiers. She appeared off of her game, delivering a rather flat speech, one that at least failed to inspire shouts of “kill him!” as her campaign rallies did. So there's that.
She managed to get part way through the speech before misspeaking and saying “Alaska” instead of “America”, but what do you expect from an AIP secessionist? What are you? Some kind of elitist? Surely Putin would know what she meant, were she in the office she was mantled for.
““Nations around the world “wonder if Alaska is still that beacon of hope.” Pauses, realizes she meant America, plunges on.” Roger Ebert live tweeting the speech.
She spent a while attempting to mock the Real President for using a teleprompter, which earned her derision and scorn even from her fans on twitter. Why, you ask, would a Palin fan not enjoy a good dash of mock and awe? Perhaps because Herself was reading off of notes for the entire speech….which only served to give us a gander at the odd poof of hair attached to her real hair. Not sure what's going on there-- maybe that's "Real America" hair?
But that wasn’t the low point. The Vintage Palin moment occurred when she sat down to answer questions, which apparently had been pre-screened. So, she had a chance to study up prior to this moment.
And yet, she actually consulted notes scrawled on her hand while fishing around for the answer. As in, a handprompter. Leave it to Sarah.
God forbid she have yet another “all of ‘em and any of ‘em” moment. I mean, when she dragged that out during the Beck interview, even Beck was disgusted.
Oh, Sarah. Thank you for the entertainment. I guess the next time meanie liberal elites like Katie Couric ask Palin what she reads, she can say, "My hand."
Hypocrite Sarah Palin ranting about Obama using a teleprompter? Free. Always free. You can see this on Fox.
Sarah Palin charging to talk about a “populist” movement of the Joe Six Packs? $115,000.00
Sarah Palin cheating during a pre-screened Q and A session? Priceless.
UPDATE: Feb 7, 2010 11:36
On Palin's PalmPrompter, "The words "Energy", "Tax" and "Lift American Spirits" are clearly visible."
One should note that she wrote "Budget" and slashed it out, replacing it with "Tax" for "Tax cuts". Which sort of implies that perhaps she doesn't understand the difference or relationship between tax cuts and budget cuts. But then, that's a common problem among "fiscal conservatives" these days. Unpaid for tax cuts which lead to a huge deficit that one can then blame on one's predecessor. Or, in Palin's case, one can just quit and dump those pesky problems in the lap of your previously never even cc'd on state email business Lt Gov. Quit and then get rich leading a movement of "small government" rebels. Oh, the bitter, Orwellian irony of it all.
Sarah Palin Aims to Bust Up the Republican Party -- And the Tea Party Movement
By Adele M. Stan, AlterNet

Sarah Palin appears to be running for president of the United States of America. You betcha.
In an interview with Chris Wallace, recorded on the eve of her Saturday night special of a speech to the Tea Party Nation convention in Nashville (and aired yesterday on Fox News Sunday), Palin didn't quite confirm that speculation, but left the door wide open.
"Why wouldn't you run for president?" Wallace asked.
"I would," Palin replied. "I would if I believe that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family. Certainly, I would do so."
Palin's address to the Tea Partiers was standard for her: boilerplate in its arrangement of non sequiturs and cognitive disconnects.
( "religious" nutcases are not nothin if not totally irrational. It's part of their anti-intellectual anti-elitism. Stupid Is Beautiful. Right wingers like their leaders stupid (Same is true of right wingers in UK, origin of the famous "he's too smart by half")
She railed against the Obama administration for ostensibly violating the 10th Amendment to the Cons ution -- the one that guarantees states' rights -- and then offered a health-care "fix" that violates that very amendment (allowing consumers to purchase policies across state lines, which basically intrudes upon the state's right to regulate the insurance industry within the state).
She charged the administration with trampling on the Cons ution, while asserting that "foreign terrorists" arrested here aren't en led to cons utional rights. (Uh, actually, the Cons ution confers those rights on anyone in the U.S. justice system -- citizen or not.)
She stoked up the right's anti-intellectual animus by taking shots at President Obama's alleged elitism, and went after him for purportedly being soft on terrorism and dictators. All predictable, and a good move if you're planning to be the opposition candidate to the president's 2012 bid for re-election.
But during the question-and-answer session that followed with Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips, Palin departed from the chant of her familiar refrain to tacitly reveal her hand -- and not just the talking points scribbled on it -- for the strategy she may use to clear her path to the presidency. That path-clearing seems to involve the sowing of discord, not just within the Republican Party, but within the Tea Party movment as well, along with a sprinkle of discord dust on the Democratic Party for good measure.
Palin took pre-selected questions from conference attendees that were submitted through the Tea Party Nation Web site, and read by Phillips.
In answer to one question, Palin noted with enthusiasm that many Tea Party activists are not registered Republicans -- just like the former first dude of Alaska.
"My husband -- he's not a registered Republican. He's probably more conservative than I am, " she told the convention.
Indeed, Todd Palin, for seven years was a member of the secessionist Alaska Independence Party, which is the Alaska chapter of the theocratic Cons ution Party founded by Howard Phillips (no relation to Judson Phillips), one of the architects of the religious right.
TP's membership in AIP created a bit of a problem for the McCain presidential campaign, and within the campaign, according to campaign aide Steve Schmidt, who had to battle Palin to keep her from denying that fact, which was easily verifiable by any enterprising reporter. Todd Palin left the party before his wife hit the campaign trail as McCain's running-mate, but maintained his independent voting status.
(Todd Palin made news again this week, when an investigation by NBC News revealed e-mails that showed him deeply involved in the governance of the State of Alaska during his wife's truncated term as governor.)
Sarah Palin told the Tea Partiers that she supposed she owed an apology to the Republican Party for not being able to persuade her husband to join. Yet she spent the early part of her speech lauding the victory of Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, a Republican who won his seat with a lot of out-of-state help from Tea Partiers.
During her question-time at the convention -- she only took questions submitted in advance through the convention Web site -- Sarah Palin no doubt pleased the theocrats of her husband's former party when she would like to see leaders who were willing to "seek[ ] some divine intervention in this country" -- someone who wouldn't fear what the media would report when they "proclaim their dependence on our creator."
In her speech and during her question-and-answer session, Palin applauded the primary challenges that some Tea Party activists are launching for contested congressional and Senate seats in the 2010 election. "Contested primaries aren't civil war," she said in her speech. "They're democracy, and that's beautiful."
She hinted that she may campaign for some of those challengers. (In Arizona, however, she has angered some Tea Party activists by backing the candidacy of her former running mate instead of the Tea Party-backed challenger to Sen. McCain, former Rep. J.D. Hayworth.)
Yet for all cheerleading of the Tea Partiers, Palin seems just as poised to bust up their movement, and encouraged some light demolition within the Democratic Party, as well.
Despite strongly articulated qualms by some movement activists that the GOP was co-opting their movement, Palin told the audience that "the Republican Party would be really smart to start absorbing as much of the Tea Party movement as possible."
Of the Democrats, she said, "It's pretty cool to see some of these Blue Dog Democrats peekin' under the [Tea Party] tent."
It's tempting for progressives to dismiss Palin as a lightweight based on her well-demonstrated ignorance of -- well, a whole lot of things. But that doesn't mean she's not clever. That doesn't mean she's not up to something.
What Palin appears to be doing is adopting the old Howard Phillips strategy of sowing discord in all camps, in order to pick up the shards left behind, and build something of them.
In her interview with Chris Wallace, Palin cited a column by Pat Buchanan that assessed the scenarios by which Obama might win or lose in 2012. Buchanan almost became Phillips' candidate for his third party (then called the U.S. Taxpayers Party) in 1996; by threatening to walk the delegates he won in the presidential primary out of the GOP, he won Phyllis Schlafly and his sister, Bay Buchanan, control of the Republican Party Platform.
(You may recall that during the 2008 presidential campaign, Buchanan asserted that Palin had campaigned for him, but then walked it back when Palin denied it.)
Sarah Palin will never win a majority of America's votes, should she run for president. But she's probably betting that she could win a plurality if the major parties and the Tea Party movement are divided.
At one point, Judson Phillips said to Palin, "I can think of two words that scare liberals: 'President Palin'."
With that, the crowd broke into a spontaneous chant: "Run, Sarah, run!"

It'll be "pretty cool" when pitbull splits the Repugs and the teabaggers, leaving many with nobody to vote for (abstention) or splitting the votes so nobody on the right wins much if anything.
YES!!
"Run, Sarah, run!"
Be careful what you ask for, boutonsky. I hope she does continue to gather momentum. Her campaign will draw the nuttier social conservatives to her party like a magnet. Since the GOP leadership doesn't have the balls to cleanse the party of these idiots, it'll take an outside influence like Palin and the TeaParty to do it.
What will remain, I would hope, would be a party of fiscal and governmental conservatives. The GOP would gain quite a bit of strength were that to happen.
Of course, I do drink alot.
Beginning Of The End: Sarah Palin Hijacks The Tea Party Movement
http://politics.nashvillepost.com/20...arty-movement/
"Be careful what you ask for, boutonsky"
The Repugs are already Stalin-like-sky purging themselves of center and center-right wimps, leaving on the nutcase "Christian" supremacist theocrat freaks and nihilistic radical far right fundamentalists, aka, NOT enough to win the White House.
The new MA Senator didn't even run as or mention Republican.
Repugs have lower approval ratings that Dems, but they all suck.
The weirder and more extreme the Repugs jerkoffs become, the less chance they have of winning anything. Fox lies, as Roger Ailes (who really controls the Repugs), that there is a massive movement to the right. Ain't true.
After the US got a good dose of pitbull in the Pres campaign, her approval ratings were down there with dubya. 25% approval ain't gonna mean , except to split the Repug vote.
Run Sarah Run
RIP Tea Party.
Behold, Palin Party.
You are confusing Republicans and Conservatives. They are almost becoming mutually exclusive terms. I hope the purge continues and I think Palin will really help facilitate that. If she co-opts the Republican Party then, she can have it. The members will no longer be of the classical conseravtive stripe, but rather, more of the Falwellian far right social conservatives.
Your example of Judd Gregg is an apt one. He ran under the Republican ticket. But, like most contemporary conservatives, doesn't truck with the Republican platform.
OK, so conservatives don't have a party
No, not for awhile. Don't get confused by the neocons. Jerry Falwell handed the party to them in 1979.OK, so conservatives don't have a party
she was caught using her redneck palm pilot?
So?
What is the point you lib s wish to make?
She can go on for an hour, without a teleprompter, and you're going to bust her an a few words on her palm?
That's far better than president Teleprompter....
How so? I really don't care either way, but I want to hear the rationale behind ranking notes in a hand over using a teleprompter...
i was just asking a question.
why didn't you come out immediately and inform us about her redneck palm pilot?
If it's a compe ion, then I definately vote teleprompter!
Honestly, who gives a flying whether someone tasked with a presentation uses note cards, notes on their hand, teleprompter or whatever?
It's a ridiculous argument.
