To take another one--just like Obama did.

The problem, Curly, is you repeated something that was on an SNL skit as though Palin said it and that never happened. Do you have that much difficulty keeping straight reality and make believe? It's been repeated over and over again by so many people that Palin said she can see Russia from her back yard most people think she said it. That's a problem, yes.

You then slam her for, amongst other things, her book deal and completely ignore Obama making the bulk of his income (about $4 million worth) from his books. Why not slam him too? Reality show? Your claimed "reality show" is going to be shot by Discovery Channel similar to their series "Planet Earth". If you want to equate that to the Trump show, be my guest, but it only makes you look foolish. As far as her being on Fox News as a commentator occasionally, why not? Are you also blasting Paul Begalla and other former politicians that are commentators? Why is it OK for them but not Palin?

As I said, you're a hypocrite and it shows in nearly every post you make on political subjects.

You don't know 1) if permits are required 2) if she has them 3) what the law says on display of the permits in AK.

Do you have kids? Late Teen kids? The only way to keep a "leash" on them is to lock them in the closet, is that what you propose, or if she did that would you then be screaming "CHILD ABUSE!!". I'm curious as to just how old you are and what parenting experience YOU have to make that kind of judgement. I wasn't real happy about her resigning as governor either but I have to say that her reasons made perfect sense. She's not the first elected official to step down for reasons similar to what she listed. Did it ever once occur to you that she honestly thought the best thing for the state of Alaska was for her to step down and stop the endless lawsuits? If not, why not? You don't like her because she's inexperienced, fine, we get that, but you're pulling stuff out of your butt that defies all logic and credibility. John Stricker

I don't pretend to be a political anylyst. As a matter of fact, (if you did not notice ) I never got into the politics of America until several years ago. So, without a doubt, my experience in such matters are limited, and the lessons that I do learn are from folks like you.


The fence- I am a contractor. I have been doing this stuff for more than a minute my friend. My work is the shizznit! I am a professional that really does know his shat when it comes to codes, etc. Sorry, but true. And my work shines. I don't ever expect a call about my work, and don't get them. Period. I can install a light switch, or a $100,000 stairs. My work is that good!
I questioned the legality of the fence because I saw no permits. None? I even asked if Wasilla has a permit requirement in my statement about it. So, mute point. YOU ASSUMED that I don't know anything about a legality like this. Well, I do...

The stepping down issue.....She quit! There was no stepping down. Stepping down? What does that mean? It means quitter! Sure, I see the side of her saving Alaska some dough from a lengthy legal battle, but how much did it cost the state to have her as a short term governor?
I honestly do think that her reasons for stepping down were monitary. Just not for the state of Alaska. She needs to line those beauty pagent pockets of hers with that green papery stuff. Definately my opinion..........and a lot of others in this country.


Believe it or not, I am a good person. I stated earlier that my experience in the political scene is limited. Actually, I made that apparent several times in this thread. If any of you folks feel like attacking me for my lack of knowledge on this subject, feel free. I don't take this stuff personally. Actually, I would like to be more knowledgeable about this subject.

I do not care about what is ever said about me, but when it comes to Amy, and our upcoming child........then?

I know that I come off rude when typing quite often. I apologize for that. It is hard to understand what people are trying to relay their thoughts through the forums. But, I will roll through every barrier to get to anyone that harms my family. Don't question our ability to raise a child! That is plain rude, and it pisses me off.

Sarah Palin: Smoking Pot Is No Big Deal.
http://www.aolnews.com/poli...no-big-deal/19521768

(June 18) -- Sarah Palin says recreational pot smoking is "relatively speaking a minimal problem" in America.

In an otherwise uneventful appearance on the Fox Business Network with Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, Palin said that while she doesn't believe marijuana should be legalized, the country has bigger fish to fry.

"I think we need to prioritize our law enforcement efforts," she said. "If somebody's gonna smoke a joint in their house and not do anybody any harm, then perhaps there are other things our cops should be looking at to engage in and try to clean up some of the other problems we have in society."

Now I know "why" she installed a high fence around her house, hehe.

Hey hey , you guys will love this. The funniest part of all is that every candidate Palin has endorsed won their primary and is ahead in the head-to-head polls for the general election...AND every candidate Obama endorsed LOST in the Primary!

LOL...Damn...isn't that a scream! HAHAHA, I can hear Tina Fey laughing from here! Oh boy, isn't that is a rib tickler!

quote Originally posted by Tony Kania: Amy is currently pregnant. (Cat's now out of the bag...) Tony

Congratulations Tony!

Palin makes me nervous too. The think that most intrigues me about her honestly is how much seething hate the left have for her. They must know something I don't. For me I question her leadership, experience, stepping down in Alaska (for the good she claims, yes, but a short-sighted political move). I'm not trying to be sucked into this discussion (too late) but I think there are MUCH MORE qualified conservatives out there. Saying she is "Not Obama" is as bad as the left saying Obama is "not Bush." The right can do better than that!

If she is the best candidate and ends up being the presidential pick by the right, I'm convinced President Obama will have 8 years to work his magic instead of only 4.

Ethics probe: Palin legal defense fund was illegal

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/...lin_ethics_complaint

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – A legal defense fund set up for Sarah Palin when she was Alaska governor was illegal, an investigator for the state Personnel Board said Thursday.

Investigator Timothy Petumenos said the Alaska Fund Trust inappropriately used the word "official" on its website to describe it, wrongly implying Palin's endorsement as governor.

Palin's attorney, Thomas Van Flein, said she will return the money from the fund, which brought in almost $390,000.

Petumenos, however, found that Palin — the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee — acted in good faith and relied on a team of attorneys to make sure the fund was lawful.

Thursday's findings are an outgrowth from a preliminary, confidential report by another board investigator that also implicated Palin. The earlier report was issued less than two weeks after she announced she was resigning from office last July.

In announcing her resignation, Palin cited the toll of the ethics probes as one of the reasons she was stepping down. She has said she racked up at least $500,000 in legal fees.

Palin's friends and supporters created the Alaska Fund Trust in April 2009, limiting donations to $150 per person. The ethics complaint was filed soon after by Eagle River resident Kim Chatman, who alleged Palin was misusing her official position and accepting improper gifts.

The multiple ethics complaints include an investigation by state lawmakers over Palin's firing of her public safety commissioner in the so-called Troopergate scandal, as well as a complaint over state-paid trips Palin took with her children as governor.

In the family travel complaint, also investigated by Petumenos, Palin agreed to reimburse the state about $8,000 for costs associated with nine trips taken by her children.

"Petumenos, however, found that Palin — the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee — acted in good faith and relied on a team of attorneys to make sure the fund was lawful."

Nice try, Curly.

The Thrilla from Wasilla;

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-b...06/28/MNKN1E56HP.DTL

They don't call Sarah Palin the Thrilla from Wasilla for nothing.

After months of buildup, including investigations, outrage and celebration, the former Alaska governor's trip to California's farm belt over the weekend proved beyond a doubt that she delivers - for Republicans and Democrats.

State Attorney General Jerry Brown probably will be grateful that he was the focus of the 2008 vice presidential candidate's barbed criticism as he investigates her compensation from the Cal State University Stanislaus Foundation for her speech Friday night at the nonprofit's 50th anniversary event at the Turlock (Stanislaus County) campus.

Brown's office is looking at whether the campus foundation violated state public disclosure laws by refusing to make public the terms of Palin's contract for her appearance.

In her speech, Palin quipped of Brown: "This is California. Do you really not have anything better to do?"

The Democratic gubernatorial candidate's response: "I don't think she understands the process. It's about the operation of the foundation to see if they handled things professionally."

Relishing the challenge
But his team clearly relishes Palin's challenges, having used her last attack - on a recent cable TV show - as the basis for an effort to motivate donors to pump up his campaign war chest.

And incumbent U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer, in the midst of a combative re-election campaign, announced last week that she would "honor" Palin's visit to California by reminding voters of her endorsement of Republican Carly Fiorina, Boxer's rival in the November election.

Boxer's campaign manager, Rose Kapolczynski, called Palin and Fiorina "two peas in a pod" and released a Web video aiming to remind voters that the Republicans' "shared positions are out of step with Californians."

On the GOP side, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Fiorina said that while she couldn't meet with Palin on this trip, she was "honored" to be endorsed by Palin, who characterized Fiorina as a "commonsense conservative."

Palin Effect
As the dust clears from the controversial visit, which was the focus of protests and raised $200,000 for the university's endowment, the moves on both sides demonstrate how Palin will continue to have an impact on 2010 campaigns in the nation's most populous state.

The Palin Effect will certainly be most keenly felt in the Senate race between Boxer and Fiorina, who was buoyed by Palin's endorsement in the June primary but must aim to appeal to a wider swath of voters, including independents, in the general election.

"It's the question of how she will play to the political middle. Will she take away votes?" said Bill Whalen, a research fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution.

He said that a close connection with Palin may be a concern for candidates like Fiorina, in part because Palin manages to stir it up, no matter what her forum.

"If you think people are tired and worn down by politics, Sarah comes into town and the circus follows, and the arguments break out," he said. "Wherever she goes, there's a dustup. ... It gets everyone angry and yelling, and it stirs up divisiveness.

"While the endorsement is important in the primary, it's more important in that it becomes a distraction in a general election," Whalen added. "It just ties into the exhaustion in politicians these days."

Return visit
Democrats are hoping Palin returns soon - giving them an opportunity to capitalize on that effect.

Stephanie Schriock of the influential political action committee EMILY's (Early Money Is Like Yeast) List, said Palin's presence in California over the weekend was perfectly timed to provide voters with reminders that Fiorina has "tied herself to Sarah Palin."

Her organization, which donates strictly to pro-choice Democratic female candidates, celebrated the Palin trip with an announcement of a new independent expenditure group backing Boxer.

Schriock said recent polls suggest that while Palin still appeals to the party's most conservative grass roots, independent and moderate voters in both major parties consider the former governor to be a divisive figure and unqualified to serve as president.

"That's because there's such a significant difference between the values of Barbara Boxer and Sarah Palin," Schriock said. She said Palin, who has been "consistently pledging to overturn Roe vs. Wade," has repeatedly highlighted Fiorina's stance as a "pro-life" candidate who opposes abortion rights.

Palin and Fiorina
EMILY's List plans to make the case to voters, particularly independents, that Fiorina is merely an extension of Palin's "radical right" agenda.

But Fiorina spokeswoman Julie Soderlund said "we'll take Sarah Palin's endorsement over (House Speaker) Nancy Pelosi and (Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid's any day of the week."

She called Boxer's efforts to keep the issue of Palin front and center in the Senate race a telling sign that is "more about their having a big problem and needing to motivate their own base to get out votes for her."

"This is typical of Barbara Boxer," Soderlund said. "She can't run on her own record because it's a record of failure. So she tries to run on everything but."

And leaders at the Susan B. Anthony List, a conservative political action committee backing Fiorina, said her positions against taxpayer-funded abortion and late-term abortion are more in line with California voters than Boxer's pro-choice stance.

Connect the dots
Still, Fiorina isn't the only Republican who may have to worry about Democrats wanting to draw the connection to Palin.

The Courage Campaign, a progressive advocacy group, put out a comic Web video showing Darth Vader on the campaign trail for GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, with the "Star Wars" villain telling voters she is "California's Sarah Palin."

But it may be far more challenging to connect the dots between Palin and Whitman, who has received endorsements from other conservative stalwarts like Newt Gingrich and former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Whitman, the former eBay CEO who advised 2008 presidential candidate John McCain, defines herself as strongly pro-choice. She has also set herself apart from Palin on other key issues, including opposition to the Arizona immigration law - prompting some bloggers to call her the "anti-Palin."

If Jerry f***ing Brown gets elected governor...AGAIN...I hope all the stupid f***ing liberals suffer for it. I hope they starve to death, because that's the only way they'll get any inkling of how absurdly stupid it is to continue to elect hopey-dopey liberals after what they've done to this state

I'll just sit there on my porch, watching them beg for food, and laugh at them.

Mama Grizzly living large @ 12-million.

http://www.time.com/time/sp....html?xid=yahoo-feat


Last July, on the eve of Independence Day, Sarah Palin announced her intention to resign as governor of Alaska in the same abrupt manner that had come to epitomize her overnight appearance on the national political scene and subsequent rollout as John McCain's VP pick for the 2008 presidential election. Knee deep in financial troubles, embroiled in ethics complaints and in the middle of a nasty, public he-said-she-said fallout with team McCain, the Thrilla from Wasilla traded in a modestly paid government spot for the chance to "fight for what's right" without any fancy title. One year later, Palin finds herself $12 million richer, the "Mama Grizzly" of America's Tea Party movement, a buzzed-about 2012 presidential hopeful and front and center in the nation's political stage.

On the anniversary of her resignation, Time.com looks back at notable moments in Palin's busy year.

New pitch: "mama grizzly" vote

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-b...entry_id=67435&tsp=1

You betcha! Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has got her sights on a new voter-rich target: she calls 'em "mama grizzlies."

And the message of her newest ad is pretty clear: "you don't want to mess with them."

This ad, which mentions her support of GOP candidates around the country and features plenty of soft-focused, glam shots of Sarah herself, could be good fodder in California. That's because here, Palin has enthusiastically endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, the Republican former Hewlett Packard CEO who's running against Democratic incumbent U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer.

Boxer took off on Palin this week, calling her and Fiorina "two peas in a pod" on issues like choice, "drill, baby, drill,'' and guns. (Just wondering? Does Fiorina see herself as a "mama grizzly?")

Sarah lovers and haters alike will want to see the new spot from SarahPAC, her money-raising political arm. Check it out:

Sarah Palin: What's she going to do with her $1 million war chest?
http://www.csmonitor.com/US...-1-million-war-chest


Sarah Palin has $1 million to bequeath upon candidates she supports in November's midterms. Down the road, those donations could win her a lot of IOUs.

Washington
Lots of people don’t like Sarah Palin. You see that in poll after poll. About 53 percent of US voters have an unfavorable view of the Queen of the Momma Grizzlies, according to a Pollster.com average of major surveys. In contrast, only about 33 percent of voters think poorly of Mitt Romney, a possible rival for the GOP 2012 presidential nomination.

But c’mon haters, give her this: Palin is a continuing economic phenomenon. A one-woman recovery package. An empire of fiscal investments geared to yield maximum political returns.

As evidence, look at the latest report of her political action committee. SarahPAC has donated at least $87.500 to candidates Palin has endorsed in recent months. This includes a $2,500 donation to the campaign of Carly Fiorina, the ex-Hewlett Packard CEO now running for Barbara Boxer’s Senate seat. (Does this mean Palin helped pay for Fiorina’s demon sheep ad?) She’s also sent $2,500 to Sharron Angle, the "tea party" favorite who’s trying to dethrone Senate majority leader Harry Reid in Nevada.

But the outflow is not the news in the SarahPAC report. That would be the inflow. Sarah Palin’s political action arm raised more than $865,000 in recent months, and now has more than $1 million on hand to give to favored candidates in the run-up to the fall midterm elections. That’s quite a cash cushion. And in politics, donations – especially donations made as a vote nears – are favors that can produce return favors, with interest, in years to come.

“We’re going to really help a lot of Republican candidates get a chance to win,” said SarahPAC treasurer Tim Crawford.

I don't even like her and I think the evidence shows she would kick Obama's ass in the economics department.

Edit to add; Wouldn't it be awesome if Palin was black? Think of the possibilities.
