" I am a Obama supporter, and am starting to realize how much about him has been hidden from us by the news. Just found out who Bill Ayers was AFTER the election, and I'm not so keen about this civilian volunteer service thing either. Give me my Healthcare!! That's why I voted for you,. I do not want to do some volunteering. "

" Once I talked with my 12 y/o Grandson and gave him FACTS and NOT OPINIONS about the "PAST 8 YEARS, The Clintons and the past 2 years with the Democrats and the "NEW PLAN" that Obama has, he asked me a question: " Grandma, if the grownups are lying, isn't that bad? He also asked me: If people are telling lies then that will make you hate someone,Won't it? Be sensitive to our young, always tell the truth about issues, even if they are not what we like. We need to be accountable to set the right example for them! "

" I was talking to my 12 y/o Grandson about Obama and Palin. I asked his what he thought about Obama. My Grandson said that he (OBAMA) was going to get us out of trouble and what Bush did these past 8 yrs. I asked him where he learned that from and he said"THE NEWS"> He then told me Sarah was stupid and mean! Again I asked where he got the info! He said;THE NEWS!
So it is not hard to see that if a 12 y/o is fooled, how grownups can be also. DON"T SELL SARAH OUT! PLEASE! "

" It's amazing that a small town Alaskan newspaper which only circulates a few times a week, has readers from all over the country waging war on Sarah Palin. Even after Obama won, Palin is still seen a major threat for people to flock to a small Alaskan newspaper to spin propaganda. What are the odds of someone just stumbling on this site without being directed here who isn't Alaskan? This low level of attacks will backfire on you guys. You can beat the same old drum beat and help galvanize Republicans and turn off independents in the process. "

" Wow, Obots are really demented.

Governor Palin is one of the best out there. She is truly what America will need to clean up the absolute mess this inexperienced fool Obama is gonna leave us in 2012.

Completely worthless.

Sarah is a real leader, she's proved she can handle anything thrown at her, including by you silly little mouth breathers! "

" You don't have to use the word "racism" or say the word "black" for it to be racism, you simpleton! Saying things like: certain people in certain parts of states vs those in other parts are "true" or "real" Americans... calling others with different opinions, who are likely to vote for the opponent "UN-AMERICAN"? It's implied, Einstein.

Again, you people in Alaska really need to become a little more sophisticated. Perhaps readin' somethin' other than the bible might help! "

" You know..it's funny how often you see this hooey about 'Sarah Palin inciting hate' blah blah blah. It's just people reciting what others say and what the media has spoon-fed them. You know, if you say it often enough then it becomes the truth. I don't recall anytime during the campaign that Sarah Palin 'incited hate'. What a bunch of nonsense! And as far as 'being pretty not being enough to be VP', I guess being inexperienced and a socialist gets you the top job if you know how to deliver a speech. "




jgray wrote on Nov 20, 2008 2:49 PM:

" Exactly what racism did you hear from Palin? I went to one of her rallies. There was no racism. I see liberals are no longer pretending to be tolerant. Funny how republicans are really much more tolerant than liberals. If Palin really lacked substance, told lies, and incited racism, she'd already be forgotten. The fact that you keep trying to convince everyone just proves that she does have substance and is not racist or tell lies. Did you need her to talk slower because you don't understand English? Millions understood her perfectly. "




Susan in CA wrote on Nov 20, 2008 10:46 AM:

" When Sarah was first introduced, she was very intriguing. She had a great opportunity to set the stage not only for herself but also to open the door for all women to be considered for the highest office in the US. After awhile, she just became amusing except for the moments when she was irritating and annoying by inciting hate and predjudice. I'm sure Sarah has many fine qualities, but she chose to display the worst qualities possible to a national audience. Being pretty and having personality is not enough to be VP. "




Janie Rolson wrote on Nov 20, 2008 6:55 AM:

" As I woman, I was offended that any woman would accept an eleventh hour nomination by a party desparate enough to use a woman as a vote getter. Had there been public consideration all along of a female running mate, okay. But it appeared as though the Rep Party waited to see who Obama chose. And when it wasn't a woman, they grabbed the first puppet they could find. Sarah should have recognized that and declined - in her own best political interest. Her reputation is in the toilet now. "

" We post here because you don't have to log in with a userid.

We don't like Palin because she set out intentionally to make herself very unlikable to Democrats. She chose the role of bulldog/attack dog for herself. Palin chose to say nasty half-truths, exaggerations, and out-right lies that would play only with the party base.

She said this knowing that Democrats would be offended and she didn't care.

So it is no surprise that when Palin set out to offend, people were offended. She did it to herself. "




MJ wrote on Nov 19, 2008 6:02 PM:

" The way I see it, Sarah was over her head & should have declined the nomination for the sake of her party & her large family, in the first place. This would have been the best thing for her, McCain & the republicans. By accepting, she revealed herself to be uninformed, inexperienced, reckless & self-centered. She was unable to answer questions put to her by experienced media and showed herself to be not much more than a pretty, aggressive, loud and argumentative woman. I'm surprised you've elected her as your governor but happy to see you've gone democratic. "

" The left does not hate your Sarah. She was a fantastic mobilizing force for the Obama campaign. My husband and I volunteered for Obama immediately following her selection.
Incredibly unqualified, divisive, mean spirited, and lacking any evidence of an education, she was an insult to all of America, especially women. In all my life I have never heard anyone speak as incoherently as she does. She is an overly ambitious fool who has no comprehension of her limitations. "

" I don't hate Palin. I just think she proved to be utterly unqualified for the job. There was no open press conference during the campagin and the few interviews she gave lacked depth, knowledge and coherence. Granted, she rocked at riling up "value" voters, but beyond that she did not connect. She did annoy though with her fake folksiness, the horrible campaign she ran with McCain, the dumbed down talking points, her record, etc. The question should be: How can you still defend her? Of course, I can't see Russia from my state, that may be my problem. "

" I think Palin would have served greatly as a VP with an energy plan. Instead the GOP used her as the attack dog of old dirty tricks. Unfortunately many of us are tired of these tricks. I think there was an opportunity if she was used properly with an energy plan. The rumors of infighting was probably correct; I am sure she wanted to speak about energy more and less about dirty politics, but she was 2nd on the ticket. Although she didn't get my vote I was proud of where she came from and the folks she represented. "

I thought it would be interesting for her to run as VP. I was disappointed, but I am always disappointed in ethically challenged pols. Hypocrites who use their children also bug me.

With any luck she will stay in Alaska until her ethical issues catch up with her like Uncle Ted OR she will help keep the Republican party out of power for the next 20 or so years.
The American public no longer wants what they or Palin is selling.

It truly saddens me that you think 44 kept this country great. September 11th happened on his watch. How safe is that?

We WILL be great again--once he is safely nestled in his Texas home--where he should've stayed in the first place. "

I'll help you out with some good qualities about Mr. O since you didn't come up with any. He's an excellent speaker, good dresser, good education, good community organizer, and really good at convincing people they have it bad and will never find happiness and success without him.

Yet, he is now our president thus open to criticism more than ever, which is something Obamabots will have to deal with. I do wish #44 well in keeping this country great. "

" Why do people hate Palin?

Obviously, when you have someone passive/aggressively suggesting that an innocent man is a "terrorist", because of his professional affiliations with a Republican-backed organization (that appoints its own members), that person is responsible for planting seeds of hatred.

And when that person laughs when the rabblerousers she's stirred up, start calling for a beheading and other acts of violence, that person is nurturing seeds of hate.

There is no rational reason for Palin to anticipate being treated with anything but contempt and diresiveness in return for her behavior.

Got it? "

Mental illness occurs when there is an unwillingness or inability to accept reality. I have seen quite a few people during this election cycle who qualify.

I have seen no evidence of Orwell or facism in this election from either side's views on issues. Just wild, unfounded accusations from one side--which is why people are feeling pretty hateful toward them these days. "

Gollygeewhiz...could it possibly be the supporters of the man who's now our president-elect endured much hateful rhetoric from Palin during her brief tenure as vice-presidential hopeful?

It appears now that the election has assuredly been handed to the hatefully maligned, Barack Obama, by the majority of American voters, it's safe to let the fur fly as to how incensed people are by the way Palin treated him on the campaign trail.

Is this really difficult to understand?

" John McCain is a class act. Actually, he turned INTO a class act starting on election day. I admired his concession speech. I admire the way he has conducted himself SINCE the election.

Palin, on the other hand, can't seem to give it up. The election is OVER, yet she is still sniping. Now is the time for the Republicans to regroup as a whole and not the time for 2012 campaigning.

We saw Palin's rallies on TV.... What goes around comes around. "




Peanut Santiago wrote on Nov 16, 2008 11:35 AM:

" Simply put, most people did NOT think that Palin was qualified to be a heartbeat from the presidency.

It is not her accent, inexperience, or gender.

It is her lack of knowledge on U.S. and foreign affairs.
Her run-on mostly incoherent sentences...
Her extreme right religious and conservative beliefs... Not understanding the separation of church and state.
Not having any understanding of minorities and their problems. Out of control supporters (racial hate) at rallies.

We do NOT hate her..just do NOT want her near the White House.

Greeting from Florida. "

If the Palin family can't dress themselves, Sarah should've said no in the first place to VP. I don't buy that they left their clothes back in Alaska. For heavens sake, it is far cheaper to ship clothes from home than it is to drop $150K for new ones.

Some libs think everyone owes them something and the rest want someone else to take care of the many in need so they won't have to get close to them. Libs expect others to be kind and do all of the work. (preferably the government) The libs warm and fuzzy feeling comes from tax deductions and welfare. It strikes fear into selfish liberal hearts when Sarah speaks of rolling up the sleeves without government and helping each american better themselves. Most libs hate that responsibility. Go Sarah Go. "

Her interview with Couric was a disaster, I admit. I didn't see the one with Gibson. But, I have seen her a lot since then and after she realized she was amongst wolves in sheeps clothing she did very good. She drew thousands to her crowds and she and McCain got 58 million votes.

The last three elections 2000,2004,2008 were republican landslides with 75,85,and aprox. 75%. You can't say it's racism, because of the numbers in the other elections.

" I have no idea why there is such hate towards Sara Palin - I experienced such hate for having a McCain bumber sticker while driving in Denver Colorado , I was confronted by three very angry Black men yelling at me for having this bumper sticker on my car - I told them I was Jewish and my people died in gas chambers to try to settle these angry young men down - After telling them this about myself They said that all Jews should of been put in gas chambers along with choice words towards Jews .

" Those who believe in true change for the better have a major responsibility: The election of 2010 is now closer than the time between this year's election and the beginning of it's campaign. There is no time to lose; just because the candidates are not yet declared doesn't mean we can't start fighting immediately. The next opportunity we have to send the liberalcrats a strong message will be in the next major election cycle, so start campaigning for the party of right-eousness now rather than later. And for Lord's sake, buy NRA memberships as Christmas gifts! "

" Please, someone list what our Governor has done for us? She left Wasilla in debt to be governor. She racked up costs to the State that are being questioned. She lacked the proper personnel management skills to get rid of Monegan without putting herself and the State in possible litigation. She put people in State jobs with questionable qualifications...I could go on forever. So please list her "good deeds" that weren't self serving. "

" We critics don't "fear" her -- she'd have to be a credible threat for that to happen. And we don't "hate" her -- we just feel contempt for her because *she* spoke at every opportunity with such hateful and divisive rhetoric.

She's going to go the way of David Duke: down a tiny rabbit hole of specialized bigotry and warped nostalgia for what modern Americans imagine we all used to be like in them thar Good Ole Days. "

" You put her on the national stage. Don't present us with a candidate COMPLETELY lacking in qualifications and then start whining when she gets roughed up.

Wait till she tries to run in 2012 and has to deal with Mitt "Governor Olympics" Romney and Rudy Ghouliani. She's going to get mauled.

Better to worry about how the Republican Party can be reconstituted than wasting everyone's time with a complete light weight like Sarah Palin.

Welcome to the lower 48. "

" It is natural to defend your own. Former Vt. Gov. Howard Dean was the butt of attacks when he ran for President. PLEASE know this is not a division of "left" and "right" or Alaskans & the "lower 48" for some of us. I did not know your governor at all prior to the campaign. I waited for her to be interviewed, without a teleprompter or a script. When she did, I realized there was no depth of knowledge to qualify her for the 1st or 2nd top job in the nation. "

" Who do you think was behind the "trashing" of Palin's children? For the reporter that "trashed" her child, Piper, I say pick on someone your own size! Also,when does it become acceptable to make any teenage mom the butt of so many jokes? I bet there are plenty of moms and grandma's out there that have experienced that. Maybe it's the ol' "the older I get, the better I was" I do believe that treating children that way is called child abuse. Looks like a lot of celebraties should be going to jail.P "

" Russian circa 1917: In an economic depression and along comes a liberal and great speaker who convinces the people to trade thier rights for a government that will 'take care of them' with sweeping social programs. Germany circa 1936: same story. And China. Vietnam. Cuba. etc etc. Now lazy Americans who didn't read thier history have asked for 'change'. HA! Well, here it comes! And it's common knowledge that liberals don't have facts on thier side, so lies and vicious, snotty attacks are all they have. Arrogance makes them good at it. "

And re: ' "she has a brain she puts to good use.." I have seen no evidence of that. Could you please provide some proof of this. "

" Thank you to those who speak kindly of Sarah Palin. It is reassuring to hear that there are intelligent citizens of America who embrace integrity.
Regarding those who apparently have learned their vocabulary, and manners from bathroom walls. Leave the crude remarks in the gutte. Sarah Palin has been wonderful for Alaska. . It is disheartening that there are so many malicious posts throughout the country. We are suppose to be ONE NATION working together. "

" Nobody on the far left or in the moderate camp fears Palin. The whole country has seen her for the devisive force that she is and has rejected her. I'd love to see her run for President in 2012, though. That would finish off the far right demagogues that have taken over the GOP and return the party to it's roots.

It would be great to again have two parties that are reasonable and can work together to lift up America.

GO SARAH! BRING HER ON! "

" So much hate because of Palins actions while campaigning. She has shown herself to be incapable of leading with compassion, empathy and unbiassed beliefs. She must have an intellectual willingness of government maintaining separation from church as we are a diverse nation. To show the rasicm and bigotry while during her campaign rallies is unexceptable .She displayed too much of her own personal values over the ability or willingness of consideration to others and appears to be far to the right on her conservative beliefs. She lacks the true qualities of leadership in a free nation. "
