Montana bears bad, Alaskan harbor seals good

Who Cares

America WAKE UP to this smoke and mirror distraction. Why are we focusing on lipstick and pigs instead of discussing issues?

Where did the bridge to No Where Bucks She Got Go?

The truth is, Sarah Palin has never voted for even one congressional earmark. Obama has voter for hundreds of millions in earmarks and Biden has voted for billions in earmarks.

Is anyone really surprised by the news that Sarah Palin is in fact a very shrewd career politician that can lie just as well as the men? It is insulting enough to my intelligence that all of a sudden a guy that votes with Bush over 90% of the time is painting himself as a maverick. If over 90% compliance is a maverick then dictionaries everywhere are wrong.

Enter the Governor of Alaska that is currently under investigation for abuse of power. Apparently Palin has no problem lying about earmarks to the tune of $27 million for her state. Palin lied about firing the chef who still cooks for her family with a different title. Palin lied about selling the governors plane on E-bay because she sold it through a broker and took a loss on the sale (or should I say the tax payers took the loss).

Does anyone still wonder why the GOP is avoiding the media except for cupcake interviews with push over journalists like Charlie Gibson? These are the times when I wish Tim Russert were still alive. He would end Palin's short reign in the same manner he sent other pretenders packing.

By the way...McCain made the same pig with lipstick comment about Hillary so all of the hub-bub about Obama using a term people use all the time is garbage style politics.

It just seems that anything will be acceptable for High Heels, Skirt and Lipstick.....

Almost every word out of Sarah Palin's mouth is a lie, why can't anyone see that and attack her harder. We need to hear about what needs to be done in Washington.

I am a moderate Republican. I am disgusted and horrified by John McCain's abandonment of his honor. Moderates like me made him our presumptive candidate because he rose above the slime and muck of traditional politics. He was open and honest. He was somehow clean. No longer. Now he is not open: he avoids the press and opts for staged rallies and soundbites. He isn't honest: he approves of political adds that are painfully deceptive and dishonest. He has traded his honor for dirty politics. Even if these disgusting tactics get him elected, he will nevertheless be disgraced and dishonored.

Why won't the republican candidates talk issues instead of schoolyard nonesense? I can only suspect they have nothing of substance to talk about. They come across as carnival barkers and unfortunatly the carnival seems full.No shortage of rubes out their.

how can she make an earmark she isnt in congress

Dear Mary Jane,

Sarah cancled the brige to nowhere.

The money was spend on other highway projects, which was allowed under the rules.

So this seems like a wise decision.

Dear Jim Turner,

Turns out Obama votes 97% of time with Democrates. When he is voting.

He claims to be bi-partisan.

What say you?

Ten things people are gonna learn about Sarah Palin (Like her or not)

1. Palin lied about her original position on the bridge to nowhere. (caught on video and audio tape endorsing the bridge)

2. Palin lied about firing the governors personal chef. She simply gave the chef a new title and the lady continued to cook for the family. Did Palin believe the media wouldn't find this stuff out?

3. Palin is currently under investigation for abuse of power. A bipartisan Alaskan government committee voted 14-0 to proceed with an investigation of her activities regarding trooper-gate because tapes surfaced of calls from her office inquiring as to why the trooper in question had not been fired.

4. Court documents show that an Alaskan Judge ordered Governor Palin and her family (sister) to stop slandering/smearing the state trooper. Thus blowing a big hole in Palin's statement that her office did not attempt to smear the trooper.

5. Hired a Washington (K Street) lobbyist to get $27 million in earmarks for Alaska.

6. Lied about selling the governors plane on E-bay as she claimed. She sold it at a loss through a broker and the Alaskan tax payers footed the bill for the loss.

7. Fired the Chief Librarian when she refused to remove certain books from the Library. The librarian got her job back only after massive public protest.

8. Fired the top police official when he would not fire the trooper involved in trooper gate.

9. Claimed Per Diem for nights when the governor was home. The previous Democratic governor faced the same dilemma as Palin with regard to living away from the governor's office but he ordered his staff and cabinet never to claim per diem because of how it would look.

Palin might be from Alaska but she has an awful lot of Washington in her judging by her record. Governor Palin is proof positive that women can lie, cheat and smile in your face just as well if not better than the men.

From a purely egalitarian point of view... the GOP is the one distracting public attention away from issues, thus it is the GOP that currently wishes the public to be distracted. Keep this in mind as you watch the next two months unfold.

Jeremiah, I guess you make a true statement when you say that Sarah Palin has never voted for a Congressional earmark, but it is only because she was never a member of Congress. She has never been in my kitchen either. What is your point? You may also truthfully say that Obama never vetoed any Alaskan bills, or never made any constructive comments at the Wasilla PTA.

Actually, lying and hypocrisy IS news. We should be concerned. Palin supported precisely the kinds of earmarks McCain objects too. That means that we don't know what either one of them wants for this country at this point.

She and McCain don't seem to have as much in common as they would have us believe. I guess he just needed a fresh female face to deliver crowds. It seems that McCain has relied on women a lot over the years. He couldn't get rich on his own, so he married Cindy and tapped into her wealth. He can't generate his own crowds, so he "married" Sarah to piggyback on her (weird) celebrity status. Can the dude accomplish anything on his own these days? I'm amazed that everyone is so giddy about him right now. He's a colossal flip flopper and sell-out to the Bush boys in the RNC -- a mere shell of his former (pre-2000) self.

I am amazed, liberals have always bragged how they support women, they mean liberal women of course. The same is true of African Americans, if you don't toe the party line your are out of here. Sarah Palin is a real American success story, but no, all the left can do is trash her, her family, her religion, etc; There is a long list of vice presidents without foreign affairs experience, but you all seem to be planning John McCains death in office.
You make me ashamed to be an American.

Go Sarah Go! Dems- kiss your anointed one good-bye!

Did someone just try to releave Palin of responsibility because she didn't vote ona single earmark? No s##t? Mayors and Governors and Sports Casters don't vote dumba$$

Dear Holly,

Sarah Palin was first for the Bridge and only changed her position when it became politically convenient. Palin also hired a Washington lobbyist to get those earmarks thus proving that even though she is not from Washington she certainly behaves like politicians from Washington.

If Obama votes with dems 97% of the time but he happens to be on the right side of the issues (as judged by the American people) then I guess it's ok.

The problem with your candidate (John McSame) is that he voted over 90% of the time with a President that has lower approval ratings than Satan.

1. Obama is for fixing healthcare - John McSame is for more of the same

2.Obama, Bush, The American People and the Iraqi people are for timetables to leave Iraq -- John McSame and Sarah Barracuda want to stay for 100 years at 12 Billion a month in costs.

3. Obama wants to give the middle class tax cuts -- John McCain thinks the middle class is people who make 5 million dollars

4. Obama is trying to fix the economy so people can save their homes -- John McSame lost track of his homes.

5. Joe Biden went to Serbia and called Milsovich a war criminal to his face -- Sarah Barracuda thinks she is a foreign policy expert because her state is close to Russia.

Yes Sarah Palin energized the republican base but once the issues come back to the forefront the McSame and the Barracuda are just on the wrong side of too many issues.

That is why they want to talk about everything but the issues

Dear Lawson Thomas,

Maybe you should read for comprehension because no one here is attacking Sarah Barracuda for her accomplishments. It is almost comical to watch you republicans who would be TRASHING Hillary if she were the nominee crying foul play when someone questions Palin's very spotty record. If women are to be treated equally then if they lie like men then the media and the people should come down on them just like the men.

Sarah Barracuda has lied so much at this point that I would be SHOCKED if she went on a credible news show like Meet the Press. It is truly a shame that Tim Russert is gone because he would have NUKED Palin using her own record. Their are just too many eye brow raisers and shows of cronyism for her to smile and lie her way out of.

Comical to listen to Republican get angry over Sarah the Barracuda's vetting process that every other candidate in this race went through fairly or unfairly.

These are the same folks starting rumors that John McSame had a black baby in the 2000 GOP primaries. These are the same people that swiftboated John Kerry and the same folks that openly trashed the Clintons (both of them) for 8 years.

Now they are offended because Sarah Barracuda is being FAIRLY criticized for her record. I certainly do not condone any attacks on anyone's religion but people have the right to ask her about her positions on religion and how that relates to her policy.

Bottom line is we do not know her, but the little we have seen/heard and read is disturbing.

1. Firing librarians because they will not take certain books out of public libraries
2. Firing Police officers that do not cave to her office's illegal political pressure
3. Claiming she is an outsider when her record shows she clearly is not..
4. Claiming she fired the chef that she simply gave a new title to
5. Claiming she sold a plane on E-Bay when she sold it through a broker at a loss for the tax payer.

Sorry Republicans, but if Hillary had this record you guys would be ripping her a new one. So please excuse us liberals because we are not used to seeing republicans whine like this over something John McSame said about Hillary's healthcare plan during the campaign.

So here we sit with a choice between change based on the issues versus the Noun-Verb (I was a POW) McSame and Sarah (I lie an awful lot but I'm only pandering to my base) Palin.

(At the debate, McCain has just stated that we are wasting our taxpayer's money on things like studying the DNA our bears in Montana) Ok. Let's get something straight. There's a difference between blowing money to make our economy look secure for a week and giving sums of money so we can innovate and move forward with scientific studies. The study of DNA is so important for so many reasons. It's a new technology that is constantly helping us and it will be part of the future. I'm only fourteen, but take it from me. McCain, you need to get your priorities straight and that goes to the rest of our corrupt government also. Wake up, stop thinking about whats going to help us this week. Think about what's going to help my friends and I years from now.
