Honestly, though, we shouldn't even be talking about her.
Because it's sexist!
Because it's sexist!
it does seem as if Palin is never, ever going to let an opportunity to feel besieged/oppressed/belittled pass her by, since that is the root of her support. they're being mean to her! and her baby!
Yes, but it only seems to work for a small portion of the party... If it works for anyone outside the tea party then our country is a lot worse off then we thought.Yes it does. It's working for her. Keep using what works, I guess. But the supporters are at fault too for not seeing through that.
Pg. 48/63 Palin Declined to Appear in Ads for A Candidate Because He Had Not Paid His Property Taxes.
In 2004, it came to light that Republican Rep. Vic Kohring owed the borough $2,277 in unpaid property taxes on property he owns off Knik-Goose Bay Road, according to borough records. "That bothered former Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin enough that she declined a campaign request to do a pro-Kohring TV commercial. As a former mayor, Palin said, it made her uncomfortable to back someone with unpaid taxes when the city relies on property taxes." [Anchorage Daily News (Alaska), 10/28/04]
Todd and Sarah are now millionaires, but they shirk their responsibility to pay local property taxes.
Attached are printed copies of Matanuska-Susitna Borough tax assessments from the public website (address shown at the bottom) regarding two lake frontage properties the Palins own in the Petersville Hills. Safari Lake is a gorgeous location, with stunning views of Mt. McKinley and the surrounding terrain.
Please note that two parcels total almost 20 acres and are assessed for a total value of $30,000. Also, there is a $0 value regarding any buildings on the property.
Any photos or visual inspection of the properties would clearly reveal that there are two large "cabins" on the property that are well built, and include thousands of dollars worth of improvements and amenities. The buildings are clearly nicer than many people's homes.
Also on the property is a large shop for snowmachines and four-wheelers.
These buildings have been on the property for years now - yet the Palins have done nothing to correct the assessment.
Pg. 15/63 Palin Called Herself "Such a Weasel" For Not Having a Firm Stand on the Property Tax Cap.
Palin said she has declined requests by Tax Cap Yes to speak in favor of the initiative. Yet, she said, she doesn't object to her name continuing to be listed on the group's Web site among 10 current or former government officials -- half from Mat-Su -- in support of the initiative. Palin acknowledged that she was sounding quite the politician. 'I am so sorry I'm such a weasel,' she said."

Did you have a bad day or something? Because your posts are getting more and more hateful and disgusting. That was just flat-out uncalled for.
And what you said is in absolutely no way correct whatsoever, seeing as it's her son, not daughter, who has special needs.
LIMBAUGH:
"Our political correct society is acting like some giant insult’s taken place by calling a bunch of people who are retards, retards. I mean these people, these liberal activists are kooks. They are looney tunes. And I’m not going to apologize for it, I’m just quoting Emanuel. It’s in the news. I think their big news is he’s out there calling Obama’s number one supporters f’ing retards. So now there’s going to be a meeting. There’s going to be a retard summit at the White House. Much like the beer summit between Obama and Gates and that cop in Cambridge."
so you are one that is concerned about politicians and real estate scams?
just to be fair, did you get upset about this scam?

I know you fancy yourself some sort of hypocrisy police, and you were hoping to bust me
But the former governor went to great and sometimes awkward lengths to insist that when conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh used the same exact term to describe the same exact group, it was simply in the role of political humorist.
"They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh," she said, when read a quote of Limbaugh calling liberal groups "retards." "Rush Limbaugh was using satire ... . I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards,' and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that. There is a big difference there."
: On Attorney General Eric Holder, she labeled his handling of captured terrorists -- "allowing them our U.S. constitutional protections when they do not deserve them" -- a firing offense.
"Palin also used her platform to continue a call for the president to rid himself of his closest advisers. On Attorney General Eric Holder, she labeled his handling of captured terrorists -- "allowing them our U.S. constitutional protections when they do not deserve them" -- a firing offense. On Chief-of-Staff Rahm Emanuel, she said his comments calling liberal groups "f-ing retards" was "indecent and insensitive" and cause for his dismissal.

could someone tell me, please, what are Sarah Palin's specific plans to address the following issues:
1. the debt
2. health care
3. Afghanistan
4. energy
i know she has opinions, but i'm looking for plans and specific recommendations for actions.
i'd love to know what she has beyond slogans.

Probably go like this:
1. Not good
2. Death Panels
3. Need to bring terrorist to justice
4. Need More
I honestly can't think of one proposed plan or idea out of her head. She has that classic mentality "Say what you see, not what you think". Sky is blue, terrorism bad, lower taxes good, socialism not good.
I still see her running for President, but she's going to need a lot of coaching, and it'll be interesting to see if her advisors still shelter her from interviews and press conferences.
It barely got her by as the VP candidate, but i just can't see it working through the primaries.
I think she can be a better candidate than W was at this stage, to dismiss her because she does not measure up, could be the same mistake many of us made when we dismissed W in 1999.
I'd like to know what you're basing this off of...
Strange world where someone who has a special needs child gets angry when a powerful and influential White House staffer uses the word "retarded" as a synonym for "stupid" and gets beat up over it. Of course, if it had been a Republican and used "gay" in place of "stupid," I think we all know what EVERYONE in the media would be talking about tonight.
But you know, we can't even in the slightest, most non-political, human decency instance can we side with Sarah Palin on something. Even if it's something as simple as calling Rahm out for being a jackass, which should be common knowledge at this point.
Right now, if I had to bet, I'd go with Romney.
Palin is still winning.
