Palin Blames Bush Administration For Election Loss

McClatchy:

Gov. Sarah Palin blames the Bush administration for the failure of the McCain-Palin ticket, thinks people need to move on from the so-called "troopergate" controversy and has no plans to stop charging the state per diem for time at her home in Wasilla or having state-funded travel for her children.

Palin also said she loved her time in the national spotlight and won't rule out a run for president or vice president in 2012.

It's easier for the republicans to point fingers and blame the Bush Administration, but except no responsibilty for there own faults. They voted 90% of the time in favor of Bush's bills and supported him so how can you run against someone you supported and didn't even try to listen to the american people for 5 minutes. Maybe the republicans need to shut there mouths and open there ears and listen to whats going on around them.

Leave no stone unturned to look incompetent, greedy, corrupt, and indignantly self-righteous.

Moose-knucklehead still does not get it.

The only reason she won the governorship was the sweeping Bush conservative fever across the nation a few years back. The major reason she was picked to be VP runnig mate was McCain's affinity to Bush and the need for "reform." Bush was the "raison d'etre" for Palin. She praised the Iraq/Afghanistan Wars; foreign policy decisions; oil drilling; environmental policies; she even parroted Bush's incuriosity and "cheeky and dumb blond" schtick.

Am appalled, Gov. Palin. You blame Bush for your loss! Where is your head these days?

where it's always been? in a place where the sun doesn't shine.

To hear her talk, you'd think the sun shone FROM that place, farting rainbows and pooping unicorns.

For crying out loud lady, shut up! You need to make a u-turn with that finger of yours.

Oh boy. Now it is the Bush administration. There are lot of people that seems to think that it is Palin's fault. Check out this debate on YOUSPAR.com http://www.youspar.com/Politics/Did%20Sarah%20Palin%20Cost%20McCain%20The%20Election? . Given that her perception in Alaska has changed for the worst, it is no surprise that she is trying to deflect this back on Bush.

The more I read and hear about this woman, the more I think John McCain did not want to be president. It's all George W. Bush's fault.

She'd never make it past the primary. Romney and the LDS political machine would have no hesitation to chew her up and spit her out...before lunchtime.

Doesn't she have a job, isn't she a governor? Doesn't she have work to do as a governor? She should "get back to work" and stop talking to the media about the election. Move on, Sarah, nobody cares what you think anymore.

Some body please make this woman GO AWAY and stay away... PLEASE!

No way! Keep this woman around. I hope she not only stays around, but becomes the Republican nominee. I'm dead serious.

Can you imagine how big Obama will win by in 2012 if he faces Palin?? Good God! Next time, we'll pick up Missouri, Arizona and Montana (at the very least) on top of all of the states we got this time around. We'll be flirting with 400 electoral votes if they go with her.

She spent the whole campaign spreading lies, so why is she complaining about stories told about her? Probably more truth there than anything she spewed out. Is she the only one allowed to lie? Special Sarah Rules?

Maybe she'll learn something from this. Ah, never mind.
