" Sad AK republican,

Wish you would post your thoughts on some forums in the lower 48.
Might be quite the eye opener for some voters, that are still stuck on the fresh face and winking eyes. "

" This election has really polarized the religious (do the right thing regardless if it inconvenient) versus the secular (it doesn't fit into my life right now). God did give us free will. We can't make someone keep their imperfect, untimely baby. Anymore than we can make someone go to heaven. But Sarah sets the example in my book of what is the RIGHT thing to do. And MANY angry women, especially, appear self absorbed and selfish when compared to Sarah's unashamed choices of life and family values. You can't be Christian AND pro choice. God doesn't approve of murder. "

" Hey the McCain and Palin bashers, I understand that Obama is going to cut your pay for putting "stuff" on the internet. Statement said too much money has been spent, so cutting cost. "

" I don't believe the criticisms of Sarah Palin have anything to do with her opinions on life or guns or homosexuality. I believe the fundamental issue with her is that she appears illiterate, ill-prepared, and sort of on coached auto-pilot when answering questions. I have yet to hear a real answer on a real issue coming out of her mouth or from her heart. If I hear her say "As John McCain says" one more time I will simply have to stop listening to her. If I want to know what McCain says I can listen to him. "

" Yes...I suppose McCain/Palin will steer the country in the right direction...if you consider "off a cliff" the right direction.

Team of greedy dopes. If he cared more about the country than his own election he would never have picked her. Similarly, if she cared more about the country than her own advancement she would never have accepted. They both know she's not the best selection for that job. She's nice, but the requirements are more than that for such an important position. "

" To AK resident:

Cant't run for office, not enough Democrats here. And Iam getting too old for that. You need to look up the latin name of boxwood again, you missed a letter here and there. Looks like you don't have a whole lot on your agenda either. "




Ak resident wrote on Sep 29, 2008 10:39 PM:

" To Karin Byars - Don't you have anything to do in Rome, Georgia? Why don't you run for PTA, Mayor, Gas&Oil commision and then Governor. Maybe someone might listen to you then. Otherwise your just blowin wind here. How do you field dress a boxwood(Buxus sepervirens)? Do they taste like moose or caribou? You go on now girl and protect that Nobama sign. We'll just keep standing up for our governor from your snowplow blade full of hate words.
I hear the weather in Germany is nice this time of year. "

" To the person withou a name posting at 12:15 pm:

I have never called Palin supporters fanatics. I called them thugs (when they suggested to use snow plows on Obama supporters on the street in Wasilla). Did you feel spoken to?

Why do you think I shot myself in the foot? The barrel is very short but legal, not sawed off. And I do get to defend my property, right? "




To Karin..... wrote on Sep 29, 2008 12:15 PM:

" Bang Bang Bang! And you have the nerve to call the McCain/Palin supporters fanatics! I think you just shot yourself in the foot. When you move to Germany, don't let the door hit you in your rear end. "




Karin Byars wrote on Sep 29, 2008 9:54 AM:

" To Obama is scary...

What makes you think we don't like guns? I have a 12 gauge Mossberg pump action with a real short barrel and I know how to use it. If those redneck retards in my neighborhood take my Obama signs down again they will find out how fond this liberal is of her gun. They are going to think my boxwoods are spitting buckshot. "




Obama is scary.... wrote on Sep 29, 2008 9:18 AM:

" Barrack HUSEIN Obama will take away your guns! And right now he is trying to intimidate media by threatening lawsuits against those running an NRA ad telling people about it. He is a Marxist posing as Robin Hood. Rob the rich and give it to the poor.( His tax plan.) He is the MOST liberal candidate in history. Wrong on all important issues. The Obama campaign has one goal. To destroy Palin. The election will tun out to be a referendum on Barrack HUSEIN Obama. McCain/Palin will win handily. "




old timer wrote on Sep 29, 2008 7:26 AM:

" Thanks Karen. Most of is here in AK recognize that the negativity in the posts about Sarah Palin are political in nature, blindly repeating remarks that have been made without fact checking, hoping to make a difference in an election. Your take on the whole picture reflects the feelings of so many in middle America. Sarah does have her detractors here in AK, but they represent a minority, those who never stop losing an election and start getting on with their lives. GO JOHN McCAIN/SARAH PALIN "




Karin Byars wrote on Sep 29, 2008 7:25 AM:

" Sarah as VP or President is scary, however, there is always the option of impeachment.

What is much scarier;the people that defend her! They are here to stay and they are getting dumber by the day, thanks to Rush and BillO and these very vocal religious fanatics. I almost hope McCain gets elected so these people can witness how fast this country can go to h..l under his regime.

I will move to Germany where they have had socialized medicine for 125 years and it still works fine and where education is still important. "




What a Joke wrote on Sep 29, 2008 2:07 AM:

" Palin is a joke. McCains little front. Plus isn't convienent that she can cover her issues here for her and corrupt following includung family. Makes me sick to see all the signs in our community applauding her for something she has not earned or qualified for. We all lose in this election. Sarah, try to take care of Alaska first and prove 20 urs from now that you can do this. Except what have you done for Alaska? "

" To Jim from Boston, your quick to judge on the issue of life versus Choice. Here is my question for you, how many times have you voted for that murderer Ted Kennedy? So easy on the cool aid and back to your meds. "

" To Polly E,--- I agree with your comments with one slight change. Replace Sara’s (she)
Name with OBAMA (he), especially his 143 days of office…

Barrack Hussein OBAMA = No experience. "




cw wrote on Sep 28, 2008 8:03 PM:

" When you choose to run for the second highest office in the nation, especially when you are virtually unknown outside of Alaska, you are signing yourself up for the scrutiny that comes with it. Obama went through it extensivelly and still is. Furthermore the McCain campaign chooses to keep her cloaked and sheltered from the public, thus letting the public get to know who she really is. On the other hand, the few interviews that she has done have been disasterous, and every time she opens her mouth their polls drop. Why? She is in over her head. "




Terri Holland wrote on Sep 28, 2008 5:03 PM:

" "Well, it certainly does because our -- our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They're in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia ... We have trade missions back and forth. We-- we do-- it's very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where-- where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border.

Need I say more? "




Assumptions wrote on Sep 28, 2008 1:43 PM:

" You keep assuming that McCain is going to die soon. He has longevity in his family history. Besides, Palin is more qualified than Obama. She will also gain lots of support when she starts cleaning house and asks Washington to start doing its job. What will Obama do? Take a census on what we should do when there is another attack.
Why aren't there many comments about Biden? Does or can he do anything? "




Choice wrote on Sep 28, 2008 1:32 PM:

" Do you think with Obamas socialized medicare you'll get to pick the doctor that's right for you? Will you still have the choice to own or purchase a weapon when you want?
The only choice he will leave you with is, which welfare program you qualify for and lots of jobs where you get to say, "would you like fries with that?" "

" Karen Colasinski,
I can almost see the American flag flying behind your editorial. It is an amazing story about your youth and your son. It's an American story. Congratulations.
Not everybody's teen pregnancies go so swimmingly. There are those who choose abortion for good reason, including HIV/AIDS, drug use(ever see a baby withdraw from narcotics?), cancer, threat to mothers life, etc. There are people who just should NOT have children for numerous reasons. They need CHOICE!!! They don't need Sarah Palin or remote Supreme court justices making their choice.
Women's freedom means CHOICE!
GO OBAMA!! "




kday wrote on Sep 28, 2008 1:07 PM:

" I think Sarah Palin is probably a hard working woman, but I also think she learns as she goes along. Any of us can do that...I could be VP in that case.
The VP of this country needs to know the history of the US, the world and the fine details of governing. She has a BA in Journalism and many of her studies were just "general studies". She doesn't have the education or the experience to be second in charge and is certainly not prepared to take over in case McCain dies. "




Jim from Boston wrote on Sep 28, 2008 11:14 AM:

" I don't know why you mention "choice" when talking about Palin's stance on reproductive choice.

Her support for victims being made to pay for the rape kit at an extremely vulnerable time is a stance virtually nobody would support. Why did Palin support it? Simple, it might prevent women from gaining access to contraception.

A women must carry her rapists fetus to term. That's Palin' idea of "choice". "




Cheryl wrote on Sep 28, 2008 10:54 AM:

" Thanks Karen, I agree with you.I too am appalled at the personal attacks from vicious, uncivilized prejudice of the self-described elites.Did our founding fathers have experience? No they did not but they learned. Sarah is not going to quit just because a few narrow minded people say too.She like everyone who has ever taken a step to do something instead sitting back and complaining has been critized and flogged by the so called know it alls.I support McCain/Palin and proud of it and know in my heart they are what we need in this country. "




AK Guido wrote on Sep 28, 2008 10:44 AM:

" I think your delusional to think that Sarah or Bristol are being criticized for making a choice about their pregnancies. But rather the hypocrisy of her beliefs of "No choice", and like-minded people congratulating them with the right choice. When the fact of the matter is did they really give themselves a choice. Because having choices is what "pro-choice" means. Yet she would inject her religious beliefs into any level of government to take those choices away from Americans. "




Sad AK Republican wrote on Sep 28, 2008 10:13 AM:

" Once America and Alaska quits romancing Palin they see she's all Fluff and no Stuff. I am embarrassed for her, she looks like a deer caught in headlights. Maybe Alaska will accept mediocre but America deserves better.
Palin is over her head and needs to drop out. Her coverage in meeting foreign leaders was like a "Speed Dating" meeting. Just horrific! Go Home Palin. "




Polly E. wrote on Sep 28, 2008 8:05 AM:

" Karen, I agree with you. But the question is does she have the qualifications to be a world leader? Does she know anything about the politics of other countries to be effective in protecting America, and leading the global economy, and enough foreign relations savvy to negotiate and form alliances to prevent terrorism and war?
