All things Palin

IMO Emerald not only made a good point, but it's backed up by the facts. The woman (Scozzavaca?) that was running was beating the Dem until Hoffman entered the race with outside money and outsiders interferring. The general consensus seems to be that the voters were not happy about that and so we picked up a seat on the left. Good for us!

That seat has been Repub for over 100 years.

I agree. And this is why people like Sarah Palin and others are leading in looking for candidates with conservative ideals more than claiming a party affiliation.

I not only endorse this same philosophy but am doing the same thing. Party isn't as important as ideology. I'm glad to see some well known people doing it too.

I have to admit I find it hilarious that members of Scozzafava's party turns against her and she is called traiterous. I think it's possible if they had been the least bit gracious to her she wouldn't have done it. But of course, being nice isn't part of their party plank. LOL

syringa, you are so good at putting your thoughts on paper (forum). I agree with your whole post. I stopped doing the party line thing a few years ago. Just knowing that Sarah Palin stood for her principals once again, makes me like her all the more.

It seems there are enough people around willing to support a face book page - the way the media proclaim that she is making all the statements is quite unbelievable. So she has every right to believe she can run a campaign via ghostwriters. Facebook should be proud that one of its pages is presidential material. Can you IMAGINE the outburst from the teabaggers if President Obama gave all his press releases via FACEBOOK

Have you noticed that every media release that mentioned her support of the LOSER in NY23 had one of two pictures of Palin - her departure speech in Alaska or the one leaving HK at the airport. Talk about too scared to be seen (someone might ask her a question perhaps) - what a wimp.

I'm rather entertained by all the attention Sarah receives. Who would have thought it just a little over a year ago.
I thought the #1 woman to be discussed would be Hillary with her big job.

I would be interested in a professional psychologist's take on why people spend so much time and energy grabbing onto Sarah news all the time. What motivates someone to devote so much energy in looking down on another person. I really like her, but don't go out of my way to find news on her.

Nah, not enough. There are a lot of political failures out there that had a following at one time or another.
One might say Hillary's campaign was a failure that a lot pinned their hopes on. How about John Edwards or Howard Dean? Yeah, I know - they are BORING. Sarah is not boring.

They still cannot handle the fact that her book is #1. It was #1 before it was even available. That is amazing. It sold even more than Obama's book.. ..... For nobody likeing her,people are still supporting Sarah by buying her book and wanting to know more about this woman.

She's talked about when she shows up somewhere and she's talked about if she isn't somewhere.
She is a force who has that "X" factor - she just has "it".

Palin rallies thousands of abortion opponents

Speaking to a fund-raising banquet of Wisconsin Right to Life, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee asserted that if policy-makers don’t believe a child in the womb is valuable, then “perhaps the same mind-set applies to other persons.”

I sort of have to wonder about people who lump praise on her, after she lost the election for VP, and had a good job to return to, and she quit THAT job, too. What is wrong with that woman, and why do so many sing her praises, when she has proved to be no courageous person, nor someone with integrity. She's just another somewhat pretty face.

I wonder about people who praise her, what's going on for them to not see a major political liability.

5000 people. You're welcome.

Pretty sad that she still believes those stupid chain emails.

From the link I posted:

Noting that there had been a lot of “change” of late, Palin recalled a recent conversation with a friend about how the phrase “In God We Trust” had been moved to the edge of the new coins.

“Who calls a shot like that?” she demanded. “Who makes a decision like that?”

She added: “It’s a disturbing trend.”

Unsaid but implied was that the new Democratic White House was behind such a move to secularize the nation’s currency.

But the new coins – concerns over which apparently stemmed from an email chain letter widely circulated among conservatives – were commissioned by the Republican-led Congress in 2005 and approved by President Bush.

I believe that was the event that she demanded the media be blocked and absolutely no recording devices of any kind could be brought in. What is she trying so hard to hide from?

5000 people were at the event and listened to her speech. Whats to hide? I doubt there are any secrets.

But Palin appears to be doing her best to keep a low profile on this trip: no press will be allowed into the Milwaukee auditorium where she will speak and those who have paid the $30 admittance fee are unable to carry in cell phones, cameras, laptops, or recording devices of any kind.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...isconsin-trip/

Very strange and truly makes me wonder what she is trying to hide.

I dunno. Perhaps it was getting 59 Million votes in less then three months of campaigning. Perhaps, it is exciting folks, bringing in the money, and reawakening the Conservative voters, the Reagan Democrats, the Blue Dogs. I am not surprised she scares the Left Wing. Takes courage to quit a job and strike out on your own. Folks in my City waited in line four hours to fill a venue to see and listen to her and the family. The Governor is so full of courage, integrity, love honesty and all things American. You Go Gal!!

Politicians who get their facts from SPAM emails do scare people, and rightfully so imo.

Anyone with a brain is scared by the dumbing down of America - being the goal of those supporting Ms Palin. When you can convince people receiving government health care to march against government health care - you know the dumb is almost complete.

The good news is - the majority is still intelligent enough to stay away from the dumb bait. To be led by the nose through a facebook page - can't fall much further.

This is in response to why no recording devices of any kind

imo this was because she does not want to be called on anything she says. she knows she may say something offensive/stupid and to avoid it coming out at a later date...she denies anyone recording her. that way she can rewrite whatever she said and no evidence to back up the original history....her word against whoever....

lame

IMO, people need to take a strong look at someone who would go so far to be manipulative and controlling. Can't you just imagine her as Pres. If we thought Bush Jr. and Cheney were controlling, this woman would re-write the real meaning of controlling and manipulative.

I have tried hard NOT to imagine her as president because it always leaves me with a chill down my spine of OMG....

WASHINGTON (CNN) – A former senior campaign adviser to John McCain is rejecting Sarah Palin’s claim that she was billed for the costs of vetting her before she was selected as the Republican vice presidential nominee.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

[Limabean]

They've been showing snippets of the Oprah interview coming up on Monday. Looks like they had a good time. Palin looks great, I'll give her that. She seems like a nice enough person, just not ready for anything big in the political world. Maybe in another ten years or so she'll be ready. Time will tell.

I dunno folks. I am a great admirer of the Governor but don't end my day or start it thinking about her?

what was the cost of the vetting, $2, can can hear her now, I want my 2 dollars

course mccain wasn't gonna pay her legal bills, that had nothing to do with his vetting her

yes if John had not picked her and she not accepted then maybe nobody would of ever dug into her skeleton closet.. not John's fault though

"Palin Co-Author, Has Anti-Gay History"

"Vincent even went so far as to lament the American Psychiatric Association's decision to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder, and she also wrote that the struggle for gay rights differs from that for African-American civil rights and women's suffrage, in that it will not "benefit[] society at large."

Maybe she just doesn't get it, the national political process, I mean. Why in the world would someone pay her legal bills?
