46. Dream on - this isn't the end of Sarah Palin

Sat Jan 3, 2015, 12:09 PM

Jan 2015

She will continue to push herself forward as a Tparty favorite forever and ever amen. She cannot resist saying something hateful and mean about Obama and "libruls" in general, whenever a microphone is put before her month. She is a self-preening egoist and sociopath. So get used to her always elbowing her way into the limelight, always saying something stupid and illogical, always putting others down, always belittling the poor, the needy, and the educated. always chasing after $$$$$, and always promoting her religion as the only one that counts. The kindest most compassionate way to deal with Sarah Palin is to point out her greed and stupidity. She's a target-rich field for teaching about what's selfish and mean-spirited in American politics.
