" McCain can't distance himself fast enough from the backstabbing troublemaker. He's barely seething with resentment.

Let's pray fervently that Palin makes the Republican ticket in 2012. It could prove tough to beat someone of substance. But Palin? Nah. She's easy. Been there. Done that. Looking forward to doing it again. Like a seasonal rival in football you just keep bashing.

Looks like we may be able to count on McCain to slap her back down--not to mention the highly esteemed Colin Powell, who can't stand her either. "

" And even now McCain when asked hedges wether he would support her in the future.

So I guess she needs to be on the Campaign trail for Parade Marshall somewhere, just keep her away from Washington, and interviewes. "

" Palin isn't a "raising Star" she's a "shooting Star" and will fall to earth somewhere in the lower 48. Someone will pick up the cinder and put it in a museum where school children will be told of it's origin .It was a product of John McCain "

" Now we learn from the latest RNC releases that Palin spent $151 at Toys R Us and $561 for a new pair of prescription glasses bought just before one of her losing debates to Biden--which Anchorage news is pointing out, she's still wearing.

What's it going to take for people to see Palin as the selfish, gluttonous, exploitative woman she is taking the RNC--and it's donors--for a ride?

She doesn't have McCain's money, or Obama's--and needs to learn to live within her own means.

How on earth can she oversee fiscal management when she doesn't practice it? "

" You know, Edward, these blogs have been going on for weeks now and to date, NOT ONE SINGLE PALIN SUPPORTER'S HAVE ANSWERED AMERICA'S QUESTIONS.

Why? Because they know her actions, behavior and character are indefensible.

Their silence is not only a sign of absolute submission to our facts, but an admission we're right about her.
I haven't seen anything indicating the contrary--nor do I expect to.

In their own way, they're admitting she was 100% wrong about the wardrobe; can't be trusted fiscally; is a fraud; pals around with, and is sympathetic to her terrorist supporters. "




Edward from AZ wrote on Dec 8, 2008 9:26 AM:

" Do any of you Palin supporters have the "guts" to face facts. This is a discussion about her, not anyone else

So just answer the questions about her fraud, and stealing from her constituents. We don't need more of your attempted diversion comments.

What about her fraudulent expense reports, tax returns, and so on. Try to answer this simple set of questions ok. "

" For decades, the GOP'S been psychologically violating Hillary Clinton every way they can--from her pant suits, to unattractive photographs and creating humiliating distortions of actual photos, replaying her laugh ad nauseum, etcetera.

Then finally--20 years too late compared to the Democrats--the Republicans deign to put a woman on their presidential ticket, and everyone shrieks 'sexism', 'bashing', etcetera if anyone even questions her wardrobe bill? Tax returns? Lack of transparency? Incredible!

My advice: Palin needs to toughen up, be strong, take it like a real woman. Smile.

You know, like Hillary Clinton. "

" Palin has no choice but to succeed as a great governor because the eyes of the nation will remain fixed upon her waiting for each and every slip up, imperfection, potential scandal and foible.

Palin will have to get used to the feel of people breathing down her neck and commenting on her every move--IF she has any aspirations to propel herself beyond Alaska's state borders.

And if she whines or complains about it--things will be even worse.

I predict she will fold with the pressure and that at least one scandal will be her undoing. "

Clothes are not the issue, but whether or not Ms. Palin can keep her word. Your state's ethics laws also seem problematic for her (late tax filings).

Like Bush, she wants to blame her problems on anyone/everyone else. With falling oil prices, I hope she is as "great" a leader as her supporters insist.

Someone suggested contacting Ms. Palin herself, so I mailed her a letter today. Here's hoping she'll stay in Juneau long enough to receive it (after all your state budget is due). "

This country is in the worst recession--possible ever--and what was Palin doing? Indulging in shopping sprees!

Surely she understands why people don't like her and rejected her--unless she's insensitive to the point of total all-out stupidity!

The Dems, Repubs and Indys will be doing all they can to keep her in Alaska, forever. "

Ms. Palin's poor performance on the national stage was - AND CONTINUES TO BE - of her own making (loved the Turkey Show). I know Alaskans have access to Fox News, the WSJ, National Review, Rush Limbaugh, etc. Trying to blame the "liberal media" is ridiculous.

Rather than whine to the local paper, why not go tell Palin your complaints?

The only reason you are in the national spotlight is because Sarah has put you in the headlights - and if she continues down the road - you risk getting hit. Your statement that she will run and win in 2012 is only going to draw comments from from all that can see what a huge mistake that would be.

All of you Obots need to get a life. Governor Palin is a real superstar, she is the kind of person that we need in DC.

Obama is an empty suit, who has reconstituted the Clinton administration. Some change, huh?

Sarah has drawn huge crowds today in Georgia. Huge!

The whole world loves her, so get over it Obots, your attempts to trash her are futile! "

" Brown Eyes -

Of course she's likable - she's a beauty queen spent years honing that craft. The question is she competent on all levels. She seems to be doing a good job in Alaska but who wouldn't this past year with oil prices so high and you getting a huge check from the fund every year. Now that prices are low lets see how she does when she has to start cutting the budget. "

" And in Georgia she will put in expense reports for the trip, together with per diem requests....

Alaskans wake up, smell the coffee..

You have a fraud, a cheat, and an unethical governess. She showed her incompetence with the sugar coated questions. Dam and you make excuses the "Liberal" PRESS WAS OUT TO GET HER.

So Sarah what do you read?
Smple question.

Try the IRS code, read up on how to file non-fraudulent tax returns.

And next year have Joe six pack or Joe the Plumber do your taxes. "

" I see the Sarah bashing as a way in which detractors acknowledge Sarah's greatness. We know that if they weren't so afraid of her exposing their liberal views for the intellectually bankrupt and fraudulent ideas and agendas they are, they wouldn't feel so compelled to attack her so intensely. Also, notice how she has survived the beatings with hardly a scratch. She is one tough woman. Her ability to emerge from the smear as the rock star she is now is proof positive that she has what it takes to be president. "

" Earth to Sarah- Your 15 mn of fame are up. So desperate for attention, you're now campaigning for a sleazeball. Pathetic! You're yesterday's news Sarah Who??Forget 2012- Bobby Jindal will shoot you down and dress you like a moose.
Buh Bye!! "

" I can't help but like her. She's likeable, and she obviously does a good job as Alaska's governor. She has an amazing work ethic--a real workhorse. Great personality, strong family, and a spirit that can't be broken--these are qualities that make her a great person that so many people can identify with. I wish her well. She may not have been ready recently, but that doesn't mean in a few years she won't be. She couldn't pass up this past opportunity, and it was a good stepping stone into the future. "

" After watching Palin for 15 years up here, many of us Alaskans can unequivocally say that she is the furthest thing possible from Presidential material. But we hope the republican ticket runs her in 2012! You betcha! "

" There are only nine (9) states in this great nation of ours who have a surplus budget...Alaska being one (1) of them. And who is responsible for that? Gov Palin and the ignorants who continue to bash this great leader should become informed before spewing the same hate politics of left wing liberalism.

Your hometown paper is good reading and I salute the town of Wasilla for sharing their great governor of Alaska, Gov. Sarah Palin. Join team sarah.org

THANK YOU GOV. PALIN!!! "

" To cat...
How could you say that she is and always will be unqualified? That makes no sense. She has more experience the obama and that IS a fact. Maybe she didn't come across that way but you have no clue what she will do in the future, so saying she never will be, well that is just wrong. Secondly, Sexism DOES exist. Maybe if you lived in the lower 48 and in a state like Ohio..like i do... then you would have seen all the horribly sexist remarks made by the media. I like obama, just not his media "




cat wrote on Nov 29, 2008 2:58 PM:

" As an Alaskan woman. I am greatly offended that any opposition & criticism of Palin is met with the cry of sexist. Ironically, that cry of "sexist" is in itself sexist! This has nothing to do with sex. Palin was, is & always will be unqualified for the national political scene, regardless of her sex. If she were a man, she would remain highly unqualified. "

FAMILY, HONOR, PATRIOTISM. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ALL THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO DO FOR THS COUNTRY. I WILL LOOK TO RETIRE IN YOUR BEAUTIFUL STATE OF ALASKA! "

" Sarah Palin is a class act compared to the Liberal TV celbities who ambushed her with mindless queries regarding the Bush Doctrine etc. She's the respected Christian Governor of Alaska. The trash talking Media pundits aren't qualified to be her chauffeur. They reporters have no political experience, are overpaid for
creating news; rather than reporting it. "

" To the people of Alaska:

You have a wonderful Governor in Sarah. Many states would love to have her. She speaks from the heart; don't think she knows the word "quit.", and has a wonderful family that pulls together to get the job done.

In today's society many women, facing a run for Vice President and carrying a cutie baby would have opted for abortion.
What a classy lady you have in Sarah, a role model with her children and husband for the rest of the people of the
USA.

Thanking you Sarah "

We need you here, not in Georgia!!! I didn't vote for you, but at least you can do your job and earn some respect back. "
