" You guys rock! (Obama Supporters)!!!!!
I wish you didn't have Gov. Palin to deal with... I hope they don't win the election, but sad for you...you will still have to deal with her after-the-fact :/ bummer.
Keep up the Obama/Biden support! It's our only hope right now -- we cannot afford to get S. Palin anywhere near holding office --- of any kind. Maybe she'll get booted out as Gov. as well and you'll get someone who is trustworthy, truly cares about the people, and all that GOOD stuff! take care from Minnesota. "

" Vomited previously mentioned lunch when I flipped yet another page of the NY Times to find this...

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/22/opinion/22wed4.html?_r=1&scp=2&sq=Premature&st=cse&oref=slogin

"Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska is opposed to placing the beluga whales in her state’s Cook Inlet on the endangered species list, arguing that to do so would be “premature." Here’s the problem: The number of beluga whales in Cook Inlet crashed from 653 in 1994 to an estimated 278 in 2005. If it is premature to protect them now, then the time will truly be mature, by Ms. Palin’s logic, only when there are none left. ” "

" I didn't know what "mining & fishing" issues Wes was refering too. Had my lunch spoiled when I flipped a page of NYT & found this gem.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/22/us/politics/22mining.html

“I could not support a project that risks one resource that we know is a given, and that is the world’s richest spawning grounds, over another resource."

"Many here took her words to heart. But as governor, Ms. Palin has helped ease the way for a proposed copper and gold mine of near-mythic proportions at the headwaters of Bristol Bay, the world’s greatest spawning ground for wild salmon." "

I gotta few more libs from my local board coming here. Watch soon for GodLessLiberal and ProgressiveGal from NY. ....now pardon me as I get a tissue. You hurt my feelings with that "losers from the lower" comment. "

This story was about a "Rally in the Valley",,THAT'S IT......It's not open to comment about Mining, or fishing, or Mayoral races, or a bunch of losers from the lower 48 to come on and trash everything,, TALK ABOUT THE SUBJECT YOU ARE POSTING ABOUT. Plenty of other boards for trash talk, and you guys are good at it... If you were there, talk about it,good or bad, If you weren't, you missed a great Rally in the Valley. A real Alaskan....Wes "

Shame on the frontiersman for now putting our HOME first and playing into what it is really all about for them.. Money. Those lower 48ers, take off....we really don't care what you think! No more john denvers running this state! "

" Hey Wes, "a bunch of lower 48ers who just post negative stuff about everything?" Are you serious? First of all this is a public discussion board, and most of the public probably don't share your opinion, hense individualism. I'm still trying to make sense of your hypocrisy about "negative stuff." 90% of McCain/Palin campaign has revolved around "negative stuff." In doing so they have embraced the worst of America, hate, fear, racism. You don't hear this type of ignorance and hate breeding being spead from Obama's campaign. "

" This was a positive story about a Rally in the Valley that was put together by a bunch of well wishers and supporters, and this is suppose to be a comment board to speak about the ralley. How in the world did this become about who the next mayor will be, or about a bunch of lower 48ers who just post negative stuff about everything?? Haven't you low on the foodchain people been paid yet? Do you really think that anything you say really helps? We are a red state with 3 electoral votes. Bye "

i think all of these candidates are lying, as all of them do, there is no possible way that they can do what they promise that they will!
you want someone honest to run the country? then good luck trying to find one, because they do not exist!
the ones who are running ar just the best at lying, just like a used car salesman, same suit! "

" max, Obama keeps promising to provide national health care, create more jobs, keep people in their houses(that they can't afford) and cut taxes.
where does the money come from for all these programs? he has not said that, in fact he has not come up with a solution for anything, neither has McCain.
and do you know why?
Because they can't do it! it takes congress, senate, and all the rest of them idiots in washington to vote on it and hatchet, and throw "earmarks" into it too.
just like the rescue package! "




MAXKATT from NY wrote on Oct 14, 2008 6:21 AM:

" JP...more senseless comments & name calling from you? Independent analysis demonstrates Barack's tax plan is more beneficial to average American's than McCain's. Next, during this time of financial crisis, do you think the guy with $100M & more houses than he can count understands the issues most Americans face? This June McCain's top economic advisor said we were in a "mental recession" and that we are a "nation of whiners." As the crisis begins, McCain proclaims our system is "fundamentally sound." You're backing this team? They, like Bush, are totally lost. "

" All Sarahs friends are just full of love, sweet, sappy God we just love our Sarah. HAH!! You're all trying to save face, I bet your jaws are sore keeping that fake smile on all day. Now at night behind closed doors you're shaking your head doubting her. Why did she do this, that and for what reason. Did she use you? You betcha, does she lie, You betcha, is she vindictive? You betcha, does she have a secret about you? No it's your turn to think real hard - is she worth it? "




Depressed Voter wrote on Oct 13, 2008 4:56 PM:

" At one time, I had ill words for Alaska Senate leader Lyda Green because she seemed very anti-Palin. However, since Palin jumped into the swirl, Lyda has been surprisingly silent. I have much more respect for Lyda now. Lyda COULD have come out swinging when the lower '48 press descended upon Wasilla, but she showed real class & didn't. In some respects, I WISH Lydahad "exposed" Palin a little more to the press. Looks like she knew a few things we ALL should have been told about Sarah. She's certainly not the political darling we all thought she was. "

" I am totally SICK of Palin trotting her children out onto the stage as if they were GIRL SCOUT badges. She doesn't have an original thought in her head. She is just a pretty face and has a good memory for speeches. "




wasillaresident wrote on Oct 13, 2008 2:27 PM:

" Personally, I have been very ashamed of the behavior of Sarah Palin since being plucked out of Alaska for the Republican GOP. She has obviously sold her soul for the political high life. She either #1: believes in her hate-monger speeches (and if so, she is NOT the good person I thought she was) OR, #2: She doesn't really believe it it, but is doing it for the GOP (and if so, she is not the good person I thought she was. Either way...I will never vote for her either in the National election or Alaska. She ditched us!! "




JD wrote on Oct 13, 2008 12:59 PM:

" Really???!!! I am not sure why people say she is being positive. I am a republican and it is an embarrassment that the republican party is behaving in this manner. The last time I witnessed the sort of racist and violent behavior is during the civil rights movement in the sixties. Is this where we want this country going? Sarah seems like a nice enough person but it is sad that she has allowed the campaign advisors use her in this manner. As for being a God fearing woman, her actions are ungodly. "




MAXKATT from NY wrote on Oct 13, 2008 11:33 AM:

" Save your energy Wasilla. She will need your support more when she comes home in a month. The hateful rhetoric McCain sent her out to pedal ain't sellin'. Rather than pride, you should be embarrassed your lipsticked pitbull tried to push it. It's almost over. Soon she will be nothing but a distant memory and perhaps material for a card in Trivial Pursuit. "

" I'm no hockey mom however, I'am a mom and I don't appreciated your governor coming on my side of the town sowing seeds of hatred towards Barack Obama. She is a racist woman who make hard working women all over look bad. Governor Palin reminds me of President Bush she thinks she can spue around her malice for African American Leader instead of saying she don't want the country in the hands of a African American person. I don't hate her I feel sorry for her god forbid if someone tries to hurt Senator Obama as Dr. King she will/live/with/this/regret "

" to see more of the real Mativa.
He has no Bill Ayres, but he has a past that does not lend itself to what we need for Wasilla. What is so shameful is that he won't go there and answer up. An open letter to the Editor would be a step in the right direction. Vote No on Metiva! He can't be forth right with us! "




Needs Help wrote on Oct 13, 2008 5:49 AM:

" TO Oh Lord,
Do your praying for our city. If Metiva is elected to be mayor we will need all the prayers we can get.
He scares a lot of people and probably with good cause.
Do your duty to Wasilla and keep Metiva out of our city government. It is bad enough to have his wife running the GWCC. "

" U Guys at the paper just don't get it, do you?
Our more serious problem is right HERE in Wasilla where a person of questionable background and motives is trying to slip into power as mayor.
WHY won't U ask questions of him??
One must conclude that YOU support Metiva!
Open up our minds to what he really represents. Be community minded for a change. "

" Wow, A postive rally, and the lower 48ers who frequent this site because of their orders from above, are just full of venom. If you weren't there, you missed a great time, thanks Don for keeping them signs waving for freedom, and thanks to Menards and A.K.f.R. for a great event. Being born and raised here, it is hard to comprehend the hatred that has been demonstrated on this board,and the road. I only pray that when we win in November, you all go home, and take your negative values with you. We are all positive people up here. "




Curious wrote on Oct 12, 2008 1:57 PM:

" Territory girl - True Alaskans don't have to stand on a corner, they have other professions for that. Palin started her downward spiral as mayor of Wasilla, now as govenor all of Alaska is cheated by her. When Palin crawls back home in Nov. there will be rallies calling for her to step down. Bet you'll continue to blame someone other than Palins own dishonest behavior. I for one will thoroughly enjoy hearing her answers to the per diem, email accounts and personal agenda to slander Wooten. I hope he sues the Palins "




Audreen wrote on Oct 12, 2008 1:06 PM:

" Pam Speer - separate the issues; Anti-Palin rallies, I believe, arose primarily in response to "Trooper-gate" and her lack of participation in the investigation which of course overflowed into the Presidential campaign (which she entered after our Alaskan investigation began). I do not recall seeing any "anti McCain/Palin rallies" nor would I participate in such a rally as an Obama/Biden supporter. I am tired of people trying to villanize Obama and Obama/Biden supporters. You want a negative message; listen closely to what Sarah Palin is saying at her rallies. She is the one injecting hate. "




Audreen wrote on Oct 12, 2008 12:53 PM:

" Territory girl - let me clarify for you that being "rude and desperate" it not related to ones political affiliation nor is supporting Sarah/McCain related to being a "true Alaskan". I support Obama, which is my constitutional freedom to do so, just as it is yours to support Sarah/McCain. To be clear, at the two Obama rallies I attended on the corner of Crusey/Parks we received plenty of foul language & fingers from Sarah/McCain supporters young & old, male and female. Maybe those "rude & desperate" people should leave not only Alaska but America. "
