How Has It Come to This wrote on Nov 11, 2008 8:22 AM:

" In my youth, I appreciated the conservative movement of the 80s. Intelligent people like William F. Buckley, Jean Kirkpatrick... Even if you didn't agree with them, you had to admire their wit and intellect. So what happened to conservatism? Why does it embrace populism, ignorance and anti-intellectualism (See Palin)? When did it become clever to be stupid?

Even David Brooks (conservative columnist) noted: conservatives' "disdain for liberal intellectuals" has slipped into
"disdain for the educated class as a whole," and worries that the Republican Party is alienating educated voters. Simpletons like Bush and Palin back Brooks' point. "

" Beth-Indy--It's desperately, not desparately (sic). Like most Palin supporters you choose to ignore the obvious.
If you are from Indiana--by your nom-de-email--how proud were you to give us your Hoosier laughing-stock Quayle? He actually now seems like an Einstein compared to Palin, and I can't believe I'm
realizing it.
And yes, we are ALL hoping for Palin to make a run for it in 2012. Her own party will turn on her--again, as in NOW--- and tear her a new pipeline and campaign-to-nowhere.
Run Sarah Run! We'll have ya right where we want ya! "

" Watching the Palin interviews with the media yesterday--NOW I know what I know what I knew all along--what her true calling in life is....

She has a career tailor-made for her as a shill for Diet Dr. Pepper--a sip and a wink. "




Disgruntled Too wrote on Nov 6, 2008 2:17 PM:

" While it may ultimately be the fault of McCain that Palin was the VP candidate, what possessed her to accept it? Greed and over-confidence, that's what. Then she got in over her head--which any intelligent person could have foreseen--and "foul" was called by her zealots.

Next time I see a self-aggrandizing, no-talent try to co-headline the Republican ticket, I am going to register as an Independent and kiss this party goodbye.

This election was nothing by utter chaos and nonsense on the Republican side of things--and I know I'm too good for that. "

" To: "'Sad to see".

Honey, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but have you lost your marbles?

According to McCain's staff--Palin didn't even know Africa is a continent. HELLO?

You want to talk about double-digit IQ's--try testing Palin's.

Obviously, tens of millions of smart and informed people voted against Palin because they knew she wasn't qualified or deserving. The only fear they may have felt was--that stupid people might outnumber them and vote for her.

Pathetically, just about anyone is smart-- next to Sarah Palin. Apparently, it doesn't take much. "




Palin is a Hatemonger wrote on Nov 6, 2008 10:49 AM:

" The truth about Palin is coming out on Fox news, practically by the hour--none of it good.

Palin will be remembered as the candidate who did not stop or correct the rabblerousers she stirred up, who chanted that Obama was a terrorist, that he should be killed, etc. This is behavior she exhibited previously, apparently, in Alaska on a radio show.

God forbid anything should ever happen to the Obama family--I pray for them. But if something ever did, Palin will have to live with the fact that she inspired hatred during campaigning, against President-elect Obama. "




Sad to see wrote on Nov 6, 2008 10:09 AM:

" so many people (or maybe just 1 loser pretending to be so many) fear Gov. Palin. If there were no fear , they would have no reason to keep posting their hate-mongering. They know Gov Palin could very well win a Presidential election, but MUST keep up the rude and ignorant comments.. if they don't, they can't try to force you to convince Gov Palin to keep out of the Presidential arena.

Fear makes the double-digit IQs nervous. Proof from them is forthcoming in other posts. "

" Obama supporters you need to get over this hate and envy you have of Sarah. I seen a lot of anger and hatred on your faced during the election. I read somewhere that when people put other people down it's because they have low self worth. If you want to get this country back where it belongs we have to work together and stop acting like school children. "

" There are 86 counties and 17 cities in this country that have more people than Alaska--which is 660x the size of Rhode Island--which has about 1.5x the population.
So the fact that Palin was elected Gov just amazes me even more--were you folks dazzled by her BS? AND WTH are you thinking NOW by re-electing convicted felon Uncle Ted back to the Senate?
In the eyes of the rest of this country the
voters of Alaska are not being perceived
in such a good 'northern' light. You got your bear-quarter this year, enjoy it.
Embrace your 2 political failures. "

" Come and listen to my story bouta gal named Palin
VP nominee whose campaign was really failin
This November day she was shootin for the stars,
When up jumped the votes and sent her back to Mars--
Alaska that is--bridge to nowhere, thrift shops

Well the first thing y'know she's now back up home,
Free once again to shoot the wolves and moose who roam

And those who voted her can now only delve
Into the idiocy of her elected in twenty-twelve! "

" Gov. Palin is one of the best. She is a major player in the return of the Grand Old Party. Gov Palin along with some other heavy hitters like Mitt, Rudy, Huck, Gendel, Pawlenty and others in our party will restore and bring back integerty and honesty to our government that all Americans deserve. Gov. Palin is a political star. I just can't wait.

" There are so many intelligent, highly educated, extremely experienced and accomplished, and--yes--gorgeous, women who are Republicans--who were so much better qualified than Sarah Palin will ever be--that too many of us are still shaking our heads that McCain ever selected her.

It is merciful that Palin didn't make the cut for Washington because she would have been chewed up and spit out lickety-split. DC has the highest educated populace in the country and frankly, Sarah and her cute little Bachelor's degree from Nowhere would have made her the biggest laughingstock in town.

She's lucky she failed. "

" It's funny how this hometown newspaper will post all the anti-palin stuff submitted and takes forever to post a pro-Palin statement. Guess Frontiersman will join the ADN as another newspaper I won't be reading or subscribing to. "




Patrick S - Richmond VA wrote on Nov 5, 2008 12:45 PM:

" I didn't realize the Frontiersman was that important of a publication that every left wing loon in the lower 48 thinks it cares about their opinions. Sarah Palin is the greatest candidate I've ever seen since Ronald Reagan. It's obvious that while the bashing has ended against the other candidates, that the continuation of it against Palin is because they still fear her. Why shouldn't they fear her. She is going to be president in 2012 and make these losers eat their words. Thank you, Sarah Palin for making this campaign as exciting as it was. "




To Beth-Indy wrote on Nov 5, 2008 12:39 PM:

" You're right... about 29%- 35% of the lower 48 back her... especially the rural, uneducated folk. Her third grade-level messages work with such folk... the same folk who love to scream "White Power!" "

" Nobody would have issues with running mates such as Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski (JD - Georgetown University). You're blind if you think Palin is the answer. It's a more qualified, cosmopolitan and intelligent woman who will break the glass ceiling. "

Beth-Indy wrote on Nov 5, 2008 11:46 AM:

" Gov Palin is totally underrated and has been mispresented by the media. I know that she will accomplish more as govenor and quiet her critics who are not threatened by her. I desparately hope to see her in 2012 to break that glass ceiling once and for all.

Please let Gov Palin know that she has more support in the lower 48 than she knows. "

Why is she billing the state for $20,000+ in travel for her kids (when they weren't officially invited......she just changed the records to make it look like they were). I want a new Governor!! "




Fifth grade level wrote on Nov 2, 2008 9:03 PM:

" Fifth grade is giving these guys way too much credit. Instead of sucking up to the Palinistas and shamelessly angling for bigger jobs (hey, it's worked before), it would have been nice to see the Frontiersman staff do a bit of digging into some of the well-known junk that went on during Mrs. Palin's mayoral administration. But that might have been too much work...and it certainly wouldn't have earned anyone a thank-you note. "

You know those two guys McCain and Obama. the only thing I have learned from the Frontiersman in the last couple weeks is your editorial board writes at a fifth grade level and you really think the news is what Palin is doing. Very unprofessional. Glad I don't have to pay for this. "
