Well, she harps on about traditional family values, despite the fact that she has a very public, very strained relationship with her teen mum of a daughter. She wants to build pipelines in Alaska. She supports creationism being taught as a viable alternative to evolution. She wants to drill for oil in alaskan nature reserves. She's one of many who have accused Obama of not being born in America and of being muslim, despite the utter abscense of any evidence to support these claims, let alone any good reason to suspect them at all. She's frequently performed poorly in debates and interviews. She's equated Julian Assange and wikileaks with terrorism and called for them to be hunted down. She uses inflammatory, hyperbolic political rhetoric, including writing a 'hitlist' of the districts of rival politicians, superimposing symbolic crosshairs over said districts (gestures and attitudes like this lead to a radical political landscape, neglecting logical, intelligent progression in favour of simplistic, strong ideas. This sort of behavior has likely contributed to the current climate of uninformed, radical political movements like the tea party, and perhaps even to incidents such as the recent shooting in Tucson). She's pro war, often justifying her stance as 'god's will'. She's even suggested American military intervention elsewhere, such as in North Korea and Palestine. In short, she's part of the wider problem of backward, blind, overly patriotic republicanism that refuses to give up it's hold on America.Pirate Kitty said:

It all feels like doom-saying to me, but Sarah Palin never had a real chance at presidency in the first place.SimuLord said:
Although it's not as if she could screw it up any more then it is now.
I don't have a major hate of her. I think she's an idiot, and as an arch-conservative, I don't want her having any political power whatsoever, but WTF?
I wouldn't pay that much for something just because it's autographed. I think autographs are cool, and I am willing to pay extra for an autographed copy of something, depending on the cost, and my feelings on who is autographing it. Even if the price is high, I might be willing to consider it (providing I had the money lying around, which I don't). I could see paying $200 for the entire series of Firefly on Blu-Ray autographed by Nathan Fillion. A Wii autographed by Shigeru Miyamoto for, say, $1000? I'd consider it.
But $1.1 million? Lol, no. Unless the base worth of the item was somewhere around $1.09 million and the signer was someone that inspired "zomgzomgzomgzomgzomg" feelings in me, not a chance in hell.

Step 1: Open up Google.Pirate Kitty said:
Step 2: Search for "Why Sarah Palin is an idiot".
Step 3: Review results.
Step 4: Clean up drool after staring at computer screen with mouth agape because of how shocked you are that people exist in the world who are so utterly uninformed and disconnected from reality.
Step 5: Die a little inside.
Rightwingers will say its because Palin's a strong, conservative woman. But Condoleeza Rice is also a strong, conservative woman, so that explanation doesn't hold water. The REAL reason liberals have such a problem with her (and a lot of conservatives do too) is because she's not a real person, she's a stereotype. The idea that any debate, no matter how intelligent, thoughtful, or well-crafted can be countered with 'Thats not what the founding fathers would think' drives people crazy.Pirate Kitty said:
It's kind of like two people busting on each other and one guy comes up with creative and brilliant gems and the other counters with 'Your mom!' And the guy who says 'Your mom' is the one who gets all the laughs.
I've been in a situation like that, where some asshole I was forced to play poker with called me a pussy and my response was 'Well, you are what you eat' and HIS response was 'I guess that means youre a giant cock!' The fact that HIS idiotic response countering something creative and humorous getting the laugh just makes my faith in humanity die a little more. And that's what we get with Sarah Palin.
Plus the idea that you can take any speech she makes, write down at least 10 words and phrase, watch her repeat almost all of them in any given speech, and realize that she just got paid $50k for making that friggin speech.
BTW, those words/phrases are (and add your own)
1) Ronald Reagan
2) Founding Fathers
3) Patriots
4) Socialist
5) American people
6) A gun metaphor (although maybe less lately)
7) A hunting metaphor (not necessarily the same)
8) Small town
9) REAL America
10) Take our country back (we never lost it, but that never seems to matter)
I dunno, he's got a genius strategy going on here.
After a few more attempts he just needs to bump it up to $1.2 million. Then every week after that up by another $.1 million, then everyone will realize that that the $1.1 million was the cheapest it was ever going be and they'll have to buy it up before it gets even more expensive!
There is absolutely no way this plan could fail.

why would anyone spend that much money on it? heck why would ANYONE SPEND more then 500$ on it now? "oh wow a name is on this xbox its worth 1.1 mill now DHUURP!" i wouldnt care if it was blessed by god himself,i still wouldnt spend that much cash on it...IF it was blessed by god himself i would spend half a mill...MAYBE...but most likely not...
A xbox signed by somebody who has nothing to do with the system for $1.1mil? I would've thought that the price would decrease drastically cause I don't believe people would want a xbox with graffiti on it. But this isn't surprise since the person is a Sarah Palin supporter who travelled 2100 miles just to get an autograph.
I would rather spend the money buying 2000+ xboxes and then use them to make a house rather than buy this piece of junk.

Well it all started when the media wanted to give Obama free press so that America would have it's first black president. The sad thing is that Biden makes Palin seem like Athena (goddess of wisdom). Oh and for those who thing i'am right-wing or racist CNN admits to giving Obama $50 million of free press but more like $200+ million. The media should never help one candidate over another by that large of a margin.

In all seriousness, surely if somebody actually had a million dollars and wanted an Xbox360 signed by Sarah Palin, they could get their own copy for a LOT less than a million dollars??
Brand new Xbox360 = $500 including controllers, Kinect, a few games etc.
Paying somebody to travel across the country to get her to autograph the Xbox and bring it back to you = $10,000 (you might as well pay them well for this priceless item)
Car rental/fuel/hotel = let's say $5,000 so your employee gets all the good stuff.
Other things I can't think of = $4,500 for...I dunno what.
Total cost = $20,000. So who in blazes is going to pay $1,000,000 for it?!? This guy is truly nuts, unless he doesn't actually want to sell it.
