Why Sarah Palin will now never be president because of Bristol Palin and Levi Johnson

In her memoir 'Going Rogue' Sarah Palin described how her Irish American mother Sarah Sheran whose grandparents came from Roscommon imbued her with family values and a deep respect for religion.

Alas, those values have not been handed on to her kids it seems, especially Bristol who recently broke off her engagement again to bad boy Levi Johnson.

Bristol and Levi were once engaged to be married, then she had his kid, then he left her then he dissed her mother, then he became a semi-porn star, then he fell back in love with her, then she found out he had cheated on her and probably had fathered another child and was tom catting to beat the band .

Enough already?

Well then there's Bristol's new role as a young woman speaking out against pre marriage sex -- a slight case of bolting the stable door when the horse is gone

Well imagine for moment if Sarah Palin was in the White House?

This stuff would be endless, the gossip sites would have a field day.other previously embarrassing family members like Billy Carter. Jimmy;s wayward brother, Roger Clinton, Bill Clinton's errant half brother, would be like altar boys.

It would be all Bristol all the time and one can only imagine her mother's frustration with the tabloid life her daughter is currently leading.

The news that she and Levi were shopping a reality show before their latest break up is just another example of how out of control they are.

is America ready for a Palin White House with such distractions?

I hardly think so. The White House is not a long running soap opera which is what it would be with Palin in place.

Americans are not ready for that.

Obama represents the best America can be? I heartily disagree, Bro. If he is the best we are in dire straits.

Hancock... Idiot? As kids, we were taught the American dream. Go to school, study, apply yourself, and excel, and you can be anything in America. Regardless of the 24/7 smear campaign lodged against him, and his family, by the low life's, Beck, Palin and Limbaugh, this man did everything we were taught and succeeded despite the bigoted dinosaurs that just can't get past a black president. Oh, but they won’t say that. They’ll infer he’s a socialist, Muslim, communist, a regime leader, or some other hateful diversion. Obama represents the best of what American can be, and Palin the very worst. Palin, with her glib remarks, that she is somehow proud of how ill prepared she is; that she's real America. Well the day that America could be governed by some folksy, empty headed, airhead passed with the covered wagons. But some people still haven't gotten that.

That's too bad, and I hope that's not true. I really like her, despite all of that.

She'll never be elected because since walking out on the people of Alaska in the hopes of making LOTS of money from the same gullible folks as Rush and Glenn, she has succeeded in making millions. She'll never run for ofice again now. She couldn't bear to take the pay cut.

Palin has nothing to offer the American people, she even seems to falling out of favor with the so-called Tea Party. Her and Michele Bachmann seem to be in a Cat fight over the Tea Party. The Tea Party has a regressive test for it's leadership.

She would be great entertainment but I think this country is walking a fine line between distinguishing "celebrity" from... anything, to be frank. And therefore, I think we run the risk that enough people are influenced by her. But, I do believe that truth and goodness will prevail and the only place we will continue to see her and her offspring are in the pages of the tabloids.

Sarah Palin is an entertainer, not a politician. She'd have to be nuts to run for president - it would cost her a huge amount of money, and she wouldn't win anyhow. As an entertainer, she has the option of choosing which issues she'll address, and her positions don't have to be consistent. But as a candidate for president, she'd have to take difficult positions on difficult issues, and she'd have to sound like she knows what she's talking about. She has no history of that - zero. As we get closer to Election 2012, her fellow Republicans are going to take her down. It's bad enough they're out of power; but with Sarah Palin at the top of the ticket they'll be a laughing stock. Think George Bush was bad at impromptu news conferences? You ain't seen nothin' till Sarah opens her mouth to answer a question she hasn't been briefed on.

Sarah Palin will never reside in the White House due to her own arrogance. It has nothing to do with her children. She was the one in the first place to parade her children across the stage and then had to do a big cover up when Bristol got pregnant. She made a huge show of touting how her daughter was going to marry the father of her unborn child because she knew that's what would appeal to her conservative followers. Now look where it is. She is a phony, through and through. I feel sorry for her kids. She threw Brisol under the bus. Levi is a slimeball, but I find it hilarious that someone like him will take her down. She deserves it.

So you were impressed by the quaffed, perfumed prince, Joe Biden, whose hair plugs lie as smoothly and naturally as the lies that emanate from his mouth? He has been part of the problem for the past 35 years in the senate, yet he is considered an authority? On what? prevarication? plagiarism? Knowing where skeletons are buried?...this is what is wrong with the voting base in this country a bunch of gullible fools who fall for the hogwash that fall from some slicks mouth is all it takes to soothe them....there is NO substance there, we have seen it for 35 years.

I agree with vtucherov-when the woman opens her mouth, she embarasses all women!! When I saw her in the VP debates, my mind was made up NOT to vote for her and McCain!!!!!

The woman will never be president, but not because of her daughter or potential son-in-law. Great t'underinj Jasus, but have you ever heard her talk? The woman's freakin' eeejit.
