Comments on: Reality Check: Sarah Palin's Claims

CBS Evening News: How The Alaska Governor Really Stacks Up On Earmarks

[brashertech]

Fair game. If you bring a total unknown into your campaign, you must expect that SOMEONE will need to inform the public about them.

Since the McCain campaign believes the public is on a strictly need-to-know basis when it comes to Palin''s background and "qualifications", the media is left to do the digging themselves.

Since when has any public figure running for office been off-limits to public scrutiny? Equal rights means equal responsibilities%u2026 every candidate faces the same scrutiny.

Obviously, those with skeletons in the closet have the most to fear from the process. It sucks that Palin''s family is getting the rake here, but she made the decision to run, and her past seems to be outpacing her.

"The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government...and I won''t be buried under their *** flag." - Joe Vogler, Founder of the Alaskan Independence Party (AIP)

Palin and her husband were members of this party. You wanna talk about who hates America now, right wing nutjobs?

[starleo146]

And of course....we can bring up Palin''''''''s daughter''''''''s pregnancy but NOT a mention of the indescretions of JOHN EDWARDS cheating on his wife, fathering a child, while is wife is fighting cancer?

Oh, and Bill Clinton who all the Dems still glorify, and his indiscretion (to say the least).....

Yeah, LILY WHITE democrats - not!!!

I think John Edwards is the worst scum on earth and every time I think about what he was talking about in the campaign and guess what I am an Independent voting for Obama. My head and heart can not take another lie as from the republican party and there destroy and destruction of this country

[starleo146]

Are you actually sick enough to be saying that you suspect Sarah Palin''''''''s pastor makes comments such as:

"The US of KKKA" and "Not God Bless America, God d*mn America..." from the pulpit??

You left wing pinkos are a certainly a bunch of un-Americans no doubt.

Oh here you are again!! yes I am actually saying that and I hope someone will do just that IF and a big IF the underground hasn''t destroyed all the evidence by now. You know like Bush''s Military service record

I think it would be very interesting if someone would research her pastor and her members I bet we would be just as shocked maybe they will and and it would be a t*it for tat.

Don''t know but the AIP advocates Alaskan succession from the US and infiltration of the US government and she appears to have provided recorded comments to their 2008 convention and was the subject of several discussions there according to videos on YouTube. These appear not to be consistent with the McCain campaign release claiming her involvement with the organization ended in the early 1990''s other than casually speaking to a few members.

If you mention this story, give it full airing.

Given your explanation how was anyone protected by the slow moving if Gov Palin? Assuming the trooper was fired would that have allowed him more time to commit further inappropriate violent acts. Would not a competent Governor concerned with the specific individuals and any others in the state with similar needs have benefited her constituents by :

Getting state and/or local protection to them quickly
Getting support in obtaining restraining orders
Establishing safe Houses
Directing state agencies to provide timely transportation to safe houses
Suppressing the locations of potential victims in safehouses until the danger is contained.
Working with the Legislature to get additional tools, as required?

I read on here yesterday....Providing me just as much evidence that it happened as I see any of these left wing pinkos offering....

Michelle Obama has actually murdered six of her own unborn babies as they slept in her womb.

My thought....SIX abortions???

If so, reckon just how many guys has this woman slept with over the years?? Or, were these six of NObama''s kids she killed??

5. %u201CWould you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina Island bridges?%u201D

%u201CYes. I would like to see Alaska''''''''s infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now--while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist.%u201D

Yes a republican President, a republican Congress who gave the baby away with the bath waterand had such chaos in this country it will take us God knows how long to straighten the Mess out

Then she canceled the project, insulted the voters in the area by referring to their community as nowhere, and preceded to spend the money on other projects. There was no savings to the federal government due to her actions (some reformer). In addition as she could not retask a portion of the money she built the access road for the bridge that now ends at an empty beach on the island.

Your fact checker needs a fact checker. "Here are the facts" you say "the trooper in question made threats against the Governor''s family and was suspended from duty." Palin alleged her brother in law made threats against her family during his split up with Palin''s sister long before she was governor. He was suspended for other reasons and re-instated. Efforts to fire him lasted for years afterward. The respected former Anchorage Police Chief who headed the state troopers resisted such pressure from the Governor, her staff, and her husband. When Gov. Palin fired him, he claimed this was the reason. She denied that was the reason and that pressure was used, then changed her story on the latter point. Abuse of power is a crucial issue given the current VP. If you mention this story, give it full airing.
