Admires Palin


Published on Monday, December 1, 2008 8:31 PM AKST

An open letter to Gov. Sarah Palin:

Although I am not a Republican and do not agree with your conservative ideology (which I believe, with all due respect, to be simplistic and Alaska-centric), and although I proudly voted for Barack Obama, I would like to openly express my admiration for you as a person.

I admire your spunk and pluck, your apparent forthrightness, your sincerity, your courage and your determination. I openly admire you, governor. I believe the recent post-election reports of campaign attacks against you are low and cheap.

I hope in your response to them that you continue to take the high road. God bless you and your family.

    " Let's get real here. This letter is from someone who says he's not a Republican and that he didn't vote for McCain/Palin, yet he waxes poetically about? Please... if he voted for Obama he has completely different priorities and he wouldn't be admiring someone who was mind-numbingly vague and shallow stances on issues during the campaign...

    Too bad the person who wrote this simplistic, two-paragraph benediction wasn't honest enough to state up-front that he's a Republican and proud of it. This "letter" is pathetic and doesn't fool anyone. "

    " what kind of drugs are you on ... all she did during the campaign is harp on how obama hung out with bill ayres always ignoring the fact obama was only eight years old.
    would you really want a wingnut like that with access to the nuclear codes to launch missles
    scary thought "

    " Well, I decided to an e-mail to the Alaskan governor regarding the non-reporting of the freebees.

    I wonder how long I'll have to wait for a reply, if I ever get one.

    Opps maybe I should have sent it to her Yahoo account..

    And tonight we hear abount another $ 30,000 worth of clothes from the RNC. Enough money (over $ 210,000 including hair and make-up) to probably clothe many Alaskans. And this spent for the Maverick and her family.

    How deceitful. "

    " So tell me Palin supporters, what do you say about todays AP revelation about late filing of free trips recieved by your queen.

    She seems to have forgotten to put them on her 2007 tax returns also. Tsk Tsk

    Shame on me to question her highness

    More fraud "

    " Amazing I must have seen the real Palin, you know the one who can't answer simple questions. And you admire that.

    And I saw the Palin with fraudulent expense reports and per diem expense reports. The fraudulent tax returns showing a hobby and taking a tax loss(sorry losses not allowed), and not reporting the per diem expense payments.

    So continue to admire a crook and thief who only cares for herself and personal gain.

    Would like to hear your respones.

    Thank you "
