Earthquake. Cholera. Political strife. And now Sarah Palin.

The former US vice-presidential candidate is visiting Haiti's refugee camps on a mission variously described as bringing great comfort to the people of the Caribbean country and an attempt to bolster her weak foreign policy credentials ahead of a possible run for the White House.

Palin arrived at the invitation of Franklin Graham, a leading evangelical preacher who has drawn criticism for calling Islam a "religion of war" and for saying that Barack Obama has "the seed of Islam" in him.

Haiti, still recovering from the devastating earthquake that killed 220,000 people nearly a year ago, has recently been hit by a cholera epidemic which claimed a further 2,000 lives and is enduring further upheaval over a contested presidential election that has led to violence on the streets of Port-au-Prince and calls in Washington to end US aid to the country.

Palin emerged from one of the refugee camps housing the hundreds of thousands of Haitians who are still without homes after the earthquake, and said: "They are so full of joy. We are so fortunate in America and we are responsible for helping those less fortunate."

This may not go down well with those in her Tea Party movement who regard aid to foreign countries as unnecessary.

Graham, the son of America's best-known evangelist, Billy Graham, said: "I believe Governor Palin will be a great encouragement to the people of Haiti."

He heads a Christian relief organisation, Samaritan's Purse, which is overseeing Palin's tightly stage-managed visit. It declined to reveal her itinerary and told reporters to leave its compound in Haiti before the former Alaska governor's arrival, saying it was under a "security lockdown".

:1orglaugh

Now, will she do an all black gang-bang ? Betcha ....

if that dumb bitch is ever elected president or vice president, i will pack my bags, renounce my citizenship, and leave the US for good... :2 cents:



.

Get ready...

by the time that happens, it won't be as easy to leave as all that.

you will find me in Cuba.... :thumbsup





.

Is Cuba really a great place overall?

And just by electing Palin the country wouldn't automatically sink under the sea - the President is just a figurehead and everything is run behind the scenes.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

That figures, ya commie bastige!

LOL!

For a second there I thought Sarah was in a wet-titty contest.

Haircut? I am disappoint.

those poor people need real help, not politicians (or actors, musicians, etc) flying in for photo ops.

Congratulations to Sarah Palin. She helped the less fortunate.

Hey, she wants a shot at playing with the big boys, let's give it to her. Let's give her $100mil and see how well she manages it in Haiti. I think it would be comical.

Cant work there on porn. So come visit here. Same weather with all the things from home.

total and complete crap. Tea party people aren't against foreign aid. In fact the tea party is composed of the demographic that tends to give the MOST in private charitable contributions, including charities that work in foreign countries. What the tea party is against is aid coming from our tax money directed by the government itself without giving us the choices as to where it goes and how it is spent. Meanwhile of course, the truth is that the vast majority of the aid and money promised by governments all over the planet has completely failed to materialize.

What a bullshit distortion.... just takes away from the entire article IMHO

if she runs '12 i'm going to volunteer to work for her campaign.
