McCain and Palin Go Their Separate Ways, in Separate Ways

BUH-BYE.

I’ll bet you that Bill Thompson thinks that now is the time for unity, even with snide remarks from him.
You want people to come to your side, act like it. Posting remarks intended to belittle the other 56 million in this country won’t get you far….

Please let her be the future of the party.. Democrats will need at least 8 years to fix this mess.

Love You Sarah!!!

Is she gone yet?

Going back to Alaska to help Ted “Convicted Felon” Stevens out? The sad truth is he may win, they don’t know who has won because it is so tight. What are you people of Alaska thinking? The state of Alaska; the first to elect a convicted felon!!!!! As Ted said at his trial “That’s how we do things in Alaska”.

The mainstream Obama purchased media slammed her time after time and she still drew huge crowds and inspired all who saw her. I have no respect, NO, I have great disdain for the hate mongers at ABC, CBS, & NBC who were relentless in their attacks on Gov. Palin.

“no time for pettiness” … What about palling around with terrosists an issue she pushed for awhile

Bye Sarah!!

She does not represent women with any functioning brain cells. Buh bye is right! Get back to the tundra! And please Alaska, keep her away from the lower 48 & Hawaii…

sara – she said that once. Bill Ayers is a domestic terrorist, whether reformed or not (and by his own admission, not). Obama spent time with him. Perhaps “palling around” was not the best choice of words, but would you object to “involved with” or “associated with”?

Question to all the women who still cannot let go of their anger towards Palin: is it because she is prettier than you?

The Mac is Back…in Arizona where he belongs.

Eyes… can’t you tell? We are smiling and waving goodbye!

bree007
Now that the election is over and Obama won, I would like to come clean about that.
Yes.
Yes I was against her because I knew she was huge for the republican party. I had to fight her every step of the way.
She is damaged now and will not return.
Obama won and we have work to do!
I’m sorry, but hey that’s politics.

bye bye Sam the Plumber

Bye,
Hope you get eaten by a polar bear!

To all the negative commentors on this blog-please do shut up. She didn’t win and she has bowed down gracefully along with John McCain-why can’t you except that? Why must you carry on with the divisive insults? What does that accomplish other than to divide? Please learn something from this historic election and please get off of your many pedestals. Sooner rather than later would be nice. Obama wants you to.

Guess what? It’s over. Palin was and still is unprepared for the presidency – but she ran for the VP position. She will be back. I used to be like you guys in thinking that small town style is something to be laughed at but not any more. I grew up! By the way my wife agrees that women (some anyway)can’t stand to see a prettier woman advance. Would it help if she looked like HC?

@ gby82
No it’s because she is dumber than I am and she had the nerve to think she could lead this great nation.
Yes I said she is dumber than even me.
HA HA HA Dumb A$$

What a slimey greasy low life piece of trailer trash SHE turned out to be. Opportunistic, hateful, devisive, deluded…..everything that is wrong with the GOP. It’s a real treat to watch the destruction of the repuglican party….and it happened from inside!
WOOOOT!

Sarah has shown America how to act in the face of adversity and attacks — she holds her head high, does not get caught up in all the trash talk and is nothing but gracious when the battle is over. She is a class act and is a great example of what I want to follow and teach my daughters to also be. As far as McCain goes, he graciously honored Obama by congratulating him and his family. You will never hear a bad word uttered from his mouth either. I am impressed by both Sarah and John and will miss them.

I am a huge Sarah fan! And proud of it. I went to one of her rallies. She said nothing but positive about our country. Never bashed B.O. Just talked about how we can move forward as a country. Very impressive. Sorry for those of you who are scared of her. That’s okay-cause I am scared of B.O.

She made her own bed now she must lie in it……………

Thanks, Governor Palin! You have provided a template for successful achievement that anyone wanting to make their part of America a better place can follow. An ordinary American doing extraordinary things.

Though I’m happy that she’s not elected to become a VP, I kind of admire her to withstand all the negative criticism shown towards her, some she earned and some not.

Jenny?
You and your kind are pure evil and corrupt. Your side set women back. You’re wrong about Palin – she will brush up on things that frankly she did not need to know in Alaska – she will be back. Way too many supporters at her campaign stops that will not let her go away. People are on to you guys – it won’t work again. I thought the communist sickle and hammer at the victory celebration tells it all.

I am not a fan of Palin, however she is a graceful loser not all sore and ugly and that is a good trait. I for one respect her solid and well stated words.
I do however think it is kind of weird that Stevens in Alaska convicted of 6-7 counts now a felon might win his Senate seat again, good grief he has already been there for a LONG time you’d think after corruption charges like that Alaskans would have BRAINS.

She was a hell of a lot more gracious than all the people throwing her under the bus today. Campaigns are campaigns, and then they end and people move on with grace. I thought her comments throughout the day today showed a lot of class.

Thanks, Sarah ! You are a breath of fresh air.
You are a class act. Your kind comments toward your opponent, his family, and our Nation show that you are the real patriot (and maverick) on today’s political scene. So many didn’t like you because your light shines on the darkness of their souls.
God bless you Sarah !

Palin= Bright Shiny Object.
She has destroyed her appeal just by being herself.

A question for all of you Obama cultist responding with such a mean spirited attitude. IS THIS YOUR IDEA OF UNITY, per your messiah OBAMA.

You would think that the winners would be serene and the side that lost would be angry, but not so.
That’s because in Marxist thinking, the state IS the religion and therefore anyone who disagrees is evil.
I find it most interesting that those who are least able to frame a coherent thought and have never accomplished anything in their own lives appear to think that they MUST BE smarter than anyone else. If you’re so smart, why aren’t YOU rich or famous or successful in other walks of life or have your opinions in demand by anyone else?
Let’s hope for America’s sake we’re not looking at 4 years of this inane drool being passed off as “intelligence”.

Adolf,
No! It is YOUR comment that is stupid! Wake up and recognize that the tide has changed in America now and your comment/attitude is no longer tolerated. It doesn’t even have the same power it once had.
I feel sorry for you, but you don’t have to stay in a state of ignorance – I just hope you don’t.

I am so thankful for the woman of integrity that Sarah Palin is, she is a great inspiration that has touched so many of the American people….. I pray blessing upon her and her family and whatever she puts her hands to do that promotes LIFE. LIFE is a GOOD THING!!!

In a lesser way, Katherine Harris was the darling of the Republican party in 2000, and that reputation helped her for a while. Personal failures resulted in her squandering the political potential that the 2000 popularity offered. It remains to be seen what Palin does across the next 4 or 8 years to improve her image and appeal beyond the old Republican base. Without significant improvement in her knowledge, experience and narrow personality, she may go the way of Harris.

“Question to all the women who still cannot let go of their anger towards Palin: is it because she is prettier than you?”
No, she is just isn’t as smart. That’s why women overwhelmingly did’nt support her. The republican party is a plane wreck in the Everglades.

I hear McCain campaign staffers are blaming Palin for him losing. I blame McCain for chosing her. I think she did the best she could.

Is there any reason this article says “wanna” instead of “want to,” as the media would do for any other person out there that it quoted. They did this all along with Palin, as well as spelling any -ing ending words phonetically, without the “g”s, such as “hopin’” or “waitin’”. Does anyone write words that end with “y” the way Obama pronounces them (such as “polic-eh” instead of “policy”?) Are the snobs in the media going to continue savaging her for the next 4 years just so their pal Barack will have one less threat in 2012?
What a disgrace.

huffpost is the worst garbage out there and you are simply stupid to read any of it-

Maybe her plane will crash on the way back to Alaska. “YES WE CAN!”

I hope it was a one way ticket.

Now that the VP thing didn’t work out and Old Walnuts has been put out to pasture, she’s trying to hang onto Obama’s coat tails for all she’s worth. Wants to reach out to him on energy and NATIONAL SECURITY after all the venom she spewed about him????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Illusions of grandeur much or WHAT? That imbecile won’t make it past the White House switchboard. CLICK!!

Ignorance is the fact that so many people voted for and did not vote for Obama because of his skin color. That is total ignorance.Keep in mind…I feel it is ignorant to NOT vote for someone because of their skin color. I heard a balck man say “Now we have someone to represent us!”. What the Frich does that mean. Are you now an American? If yes, then you have had many presidents represent you! I am white…never once have I felt like I got special privledges because my president was white.

Hdtex, you have the temerity to say that, after posting this?: “What a slimey greasy low life piece of trailer trash SHE turned out to be. Opportunistic, hateful, devisive, deluded…..everything that is wrong with the GOP. It’s a real treat to watch the destruction of the repuglican party….and it happened from inside!
WOOOOT!” Talk about ugliness in your soul, you’ve got it in excess.
I never cease to be amazed and appalled at the absolute lack of character, morals and manners of the left. Enjoy your moment, it won’t last because, while I hope I’m wrong, I seriously doubt that Barack Obama has either the strength of character, nor intelligence to lead this nation in these trying times.

McCain conceded graciously. Palin conceded graciously. Move Forth America!!
Time to “FOCUS” on the work at hand.
McCain deserves rest in Arizona, then back to Washington to complete his term as Senator. Palin is returning to govern Alaska…Obama/Biden are moving to Washington, D.C… This is a fact, this is History. Move Forth America!

You know it’s bad when peple find the need to go to the White House and rub it in Bush’s face. Yesterday’s election of Obama was like the governor calling the State Prison and giving all of us a stay on execution. Only George Bush could succeed in making Jimmy Carter look like Ronald Regan.

You haters on here are PATHETIC!!!!! Your candidate won, and you should be overjoyed!!! Of course you’re not happy, you all are miserable people… It’s amazing that you open-minded liberals are viewed as SOOOOO welcoming and compassionate—what a joke… You’re comments on this board make me so very thankful that I’m a conservative Republican…

Fox News Chief Political Correspondent Carl Cameron appeared on The O’Reilly Factor tonight and described in much fuller detail the truly astonishing behavior, and lack of knowledge, of Sarah Palin on the campaign trail, as well as the nasty infighting that resulted from, some would say, Palin’s “diva” behavior.
Cameron relates how McCain aides were terrified of Palin’s lack of knowledge of international, national, and even basic civic issues. Cameron reports that Palin was unfamiliar with the concept of “American exceptionalism,” and that not only did she not understand that Africa was a continent rather than a single country but also that during debate prep Palin was unable to name all the nations in North America.
Palin was apparently a nightmare for her campaign staff to deal with. She refused preparation help for her interview with Katie Couric and then blamed her staff, specifically Nicole Wallace, when the interview was rightly panned as a disaster. After the Couric interview, Palin turned nasty with her staff and began to accuse them of mishandling her. Palin would view press clippings of herself in the morning and throw “tantrums” over the negative coverage. There were times when she would be so nasty and angry that her staff was reduced to tears.
Perhaps one of the most astounding and previously unknown tidbits about Sarah Palin has to do with her already dubious grasp of geography. According to Fox News Chief Political Correspondent Carl Cameron, there was great concern within the McCain campaign that Palin lacked “a degree of knowledgeability necessary to be a running mate, a vice president, a heartbeat away from the presidency,” in part because she didn’t know which countries were in NAFTA, and she “didn’t understand that Africa was a continent, rather than a series, a country just in itself.”
You read that right.
SARAH PALIN DID NOT KNOW THAT AFRICA IS A CONTINENT….

The thing that bothers me about Palin is that her husband seems to be too involved in her duties as governor. What role would he have in her political future.

Good to see support for Palin! The more they bash her the more I like her. Keep it coming haters!

See ya Sarah. Go enjoy a six pack! It’s on Joe!
I hope you realize your severe limitations and stay out of the limelight. You’re in it for the WRONG reasons. But then again, I don’t know if you can help yourself.

Tina, you are a stupid nasty bitch. I hope that you get hit by a car when you walk out of your hose tommorrow, if not you someone that you care about you deserve it nasty heffer.

I think she is basically trying to save face at this point and has realised she wass duped into doing the dirty work for the GOP. I’m sure she feels uncomfortable about the whole thing now and my opinion is that if she were as brilliant as everyone cl aims she’d have not made such an ass of herself.

I will miss Sarah and hope to see her come back in the spot light.
You Go Girl!

You shouldn’t lower yourself to the levels of others – Part of being an adult is holding yourself to a higher standard and being an example for others.

There is nothing about Sarah Palin that I can relate to, or that represents me in any way. The only thing we have in common is parenthood and a love of the Great Outdoors (although the only shooting I do there is with my camera). I hope she changes careers and goes back to being an entertainer, which is an area where I think she can excel. She’s trying to fit a mold that doesn’t take advantage of the skills that she has, and requires other skills and intelligence that she doesn’t possess. The smart move would be for her to get back into the media. Sarah – please consider it.

Hey jerks who call yourselves Obama supporters, show some grace and class.

Adolf,
You misunderstand what “represent” means! It doesn’t mean “BO’s gonna hook up us with ‘special priviledges’” – it means the same thing it would’ve meant by a woman saying, “Now that Hillary is in office I have someone to represent me.”
It’s based on that person having a similar quality that, for years, was used to deny them. That statement denotes a sense of pride… NOT an expectancy of privilege.

As usual, the most hateful intolerant people are the liberals.

I’m sure she feels uncomfortable about the whole thing now and my opinion is that if she were as brilliant as everyone cl aims she’d have not made such an ass of herself.

The moonbat left got their savior elected and they have now developed Palin Derangement Syndrome?
You guys really are losers.

Seriously, fellow Obama supporters. Let’s show a little more class. Yeah, she may not have been ready to be vice president. But she won’t be vice president, so relax. She was gracious in defeat; let’s be gracious in victory.

Sarah Palin was the only interesting thing about McCains campaign. I was thrilled when he selected her. Side by side with Joe Biden and his complete inability to have an unspoken, or intelligent thought, she was clearly the winner.
Shame on those who made a career of trying to ruin her.
Let’s here some of the incoherent, incendiary, viral videos of Obama and compare them to Sarah. She still comes out ahead of some unaccomplished, anti-semitic radical. She is the real deal and as Clinton said Obama is just a “fairy tale” , an empty suit with dangerous ideas.

I’m a life long democrat and I must say that right now many of my fellow democrats make me ashamed. We are the party that is supposed to be the tolerant party, but from the comments here, it sure doesn’t show. Sarah Palin is an American……..do you get that? An American person with the right to her own opinion and her own belief system………just as you and I do. Why can’t we let this division go? Why in the midst of a win, can’t we take the higher road and try to set the stage for an American success? I predict, with attitudes like I’ve witnessed here, the democratic party will lose power in D.C. by 2012.

Let’s all play nice and try to move forward.

What I don’t understand is why you can’t let it go. You won – Great! Let’s get beyond this.

it is rather amazing how politicians can turn their sentiments around 180 degrees within a matter of hours. McCain and Palin are all sweetness and light now that they lost. Before they were calling Obama a terrorist and dangerous and elitist. But Dems do the same. The Clintons suddenly came to love Obama too after he whipped their butts. I guess this is the way it is in today’s America.

WHY SO MUCH ANGER FROM WOMEN ABOUT PALIN?
Why the hatred. Because she has it all.
She is a mother of 5 children.
She is the Governor of a state.
She is a working mother! I would think that women would at least admire her somewhat. Is it jealousy?
I NEED A WOMAN TO EXPLAIN THIS TO ME!!!

I am really happy to see all the hate from the dems. on here for Sarah Palin. That tells me they are really worried for 2010 and 2012. She will be a major force in the country in the years to come. Look forward to it can’t happen to soon we will need all the help we can get.

What was with the communist flag in the crowd at the victory celebration?

jay,
Yes, very interesting….
Biden was also against Obama before he was elected VP candidate….hmmmm

I personally know liberals that hated her because she, gasp, hunts.
Now if that is the dumbest reason to “hate” someone.
It does raise a damn good point. I am real glad that it is the republican half of the nation that is armed and not the liberals. Their level of hatred with a firearm is a recipe for disaster.

Good bye Mrs.Palin have a nice trip back to Alaska and please saty there.

Wow!! Palin/McCain freeks still attacking Obama and those beautiful people who voted him into office. It will take sometime for hate in your hearts to finally be purged from you souls.
I love Obama!!

The election of Barack Obama to the presidency has already entered the history books as a major step in the struggle against racism. All well and good. But the history books will also record the hate-filled, venomous treatment of Sarah Palin — sexism at its ugliest, especially from the so-called “feminists.” This scar will take a long time to heal.

She is a mother of 5 children.

Palin is such airhead! Can you imagine if that retard had gotten in?

I love Sarah Palin! She is a beautiful woman inside and out! Her values and strength definitely represent me. She energized the campaign and it saddens me that she’s not going to Washington. She’s full of class and women everywhere should be very proud of her. You can bet that self-confident women are proud of her! The others, well, who cares about them?

The one and only reason Obama won the election is because he was black. Had he been a white or anyother race the blacks of this country would not have turned out in the numbers as they did. Just look at who was running the voter registration. That should tell you something. ABC, CBS and NBC. I will never watch their news again. They may tell the truth but not the whole truth. VERY BIASED

Don’t let the screen door hit ya, Palin!

There is a great representative of Obama on the blog about “the swarm of supporters”. “Brittney” sums it up with a song… :)
Quite amusing.

Hope she runs as president in ’12

Hey Mudge – Maybe you need some help letting it go.

dukie
Wasn’t it Palin who kept opening her mouth to accuse Barack Obama, President Elect, that he was a terrorist, unpatriotic, terrorist sympathizer, and on and on and on? How short you memory. Palin is a disgrace to the United States and for all that we stand for. Didn’t she also give the opening address at her loser husbands organization that wants to separate itself from the United States? Did she say that those who didn’t believe in her bulsht that we were unamerican? Blah, Blah, Blah.
Good riddance to the sorry excuse for a governor. Go home stay there as we don’t need your kind in the lower 48.

For the first time in my adult life, I am NOT proud of my country.
Listen lefties — You have been DUPED like a bunch of mindless morons! You have no clue where this guy came from and what he plans on doing. Holy crap — he ran on mostly conservative ideals when his past points to outright socialism/communism!!
There is no conciliatory congratulations on the right this time. This is now a war, and that socialist nutbag you just elected is going to fail. All he is going to succeed in doing is revitalizing the conservative movement in this country — assuming we still have a free nation in four years.

I am an Obama supporter all the way but I wish Sarah good fortune. Hopefully she will return to Alaska and get it all sorted out. She said she wants to help on energy self-sufficiency and congratulated Obama and the nation for choosing him. Sounds OK to me.
Of course a great many of her campaign statements were reprehensible and hopefully she and the GOP will say goodbye to the Machiavellian trash and burn mode of campaigning. It’s really bad for the country and failed miserably to the detriment of the Republican Party.

THE LEFT ATTACKS WHEN ITS SCARED OF SOMETHING

I am an Obama supporter who did not like Palin. However, she has been gracious in defeat and we need to respect that. We are not going to get anywhere if we keep bashing her and driving her supporters further away. Now is the time for unity and grace on both sides.

TO ALL MY FRIENDS….LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE……..FYI only.
George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine.
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high–14,000 +
5) American’s were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!…
But American’s wanted ‘CHANGE’! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes–we got ‘CHANGE’ all right. In the PAST YEAR: 1) Consumer confidence has plummeted;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~
$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!
YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE…AND WE SURE GOT IT! ….
REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS.
AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, TO CHANGE THINGS FOR THE BETTER ? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TOREALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!!
JUST HOW MUCH MORE ‘CHANGE’ DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?

ABC sites actually allow republican comments to be posted. Other sites “moderate” them. Many innocent argumnets were not posted during the election. Yep – Russian style media manipulation. Maybe the flags are a hint? At Obama’s victory celebration there was a communist flag waved and only Fox news showed the footage – shocking!

I say, let us move forward because it is a day of victory, faith and hope for this great country of OURS!
The Democrats have won their place at the White House, so now we need the Republicans to step up to the plate and work together for the better of the country.

jms: “Could we be lucky enough to never hear of her again or hear that awful voice.”
Hey jms: At least she can form a complete sentence, unlike your stuttering socialist windbag.

YOU THINK JIMMY WAS BAD JUST WATCH

Thank God we are spared at least for another 4 years from a leadership disaster if this woman happened to inherit the presidency due to a incapacitated McCain.

I truly liked McCain’s speech last night, where was that guy during the campaign? But what I liked the best was his snub of Palin and her husband. He patted Palin on the arm and gave her husband one shake of the hand, but did not make eye contact with him. He looked pissed off!

Good Riddance Caribou Barbie. Maybe the French president Sarkosy will give you a ring.

WHY HATE A REAL AMERICAN

Saying that Palin can form a complete sentence is like saying we can get to Mars: we might possibly have the ability to do so but can we?
Oh you betcha!
Just takes the hockey mom a little more work.

GOD HELP US

“Only a hillbilly would deem a Harvard Law degree a negative.”
No… only a Harvard degree paid for by Hamas.
Don’t tell me I’m wrong about that — because you don’t know. You no nothing about this man other than what the MSM has fed to you.

McCain was not energetic or charismatic. He can’t blame Palin and I’m sure he doesn’t. He had the wrong advisors around him. Palin was the energy for the whole 2 months.
Palin is the phoenix that will rise again from the ashes of this defeat.

I hope we never have to hear from Sarah Palin again
she does not represent me at all.. If she had a clue she would realize that she was used by the republican party for two months.. please stay in Alaska and oh
keep a eye on Russia for us.. yikes

Good riddance to the nasty old man and the little girl moron from the great backwater of Alaska.

poor Sarah…what a joke

Even court the ‘terrorist’ if it will get the AIP agenda pushed forward, eh? Yeah Sarah, that’s the ticket us ‘unreal’ Americans will fall for. PULEASE!
Our country has moved forward. Sarah will have to earn her way in just as we have had to earn our way in — the hard way.
I voted for Obama and that votes you out. I’d see McCain ‘in’ long before your duping, Sarah!

Thanks Sarah !!! we will see you again in 4years when the republicans return to WHITE HOUSE…

Wow, you libs really can’t let go of your hatred? It’s so ingrained, there is absolutely nothing positive about you.
I’d ray for your souls if they hadn’t already been eaten away.

Stop the Hate and embrace change. It’s a beautiful thing!!

SARAH! SARAH! SARAH!
I’ll be back to support you again.

I read these comments and all I can think is, “why on earth is it that y’all say it is the McCain/Palin supporters who are petty?” What a snide group of folks some of you are. Sarah Palin is a fine politician, a talented woman, and an effective governor. I think she will go far in politics. I am amazed that she has been treated so shabbily by people trapped in their own prejudices and the prejudices displayed by members of the media. I predict that the more people see of her in the future, the more they will see that the early press coverage of her and the SNL parodies gave them a skewed vision of this resourceful, refreshing woman.
John McCain is a class act and I think Palin was a similar personality who was an excellent teammate for him. They both made me proud.

To:Chunderroad…….What do you mean?? Proved your point??? How?Your stupidity is showing.

Please lets not talk about four years from now because before you know it campaigning for the next election will begin and I am up to here(hand held up high) in political news and campaigning. Lets enjoy this period of relative peace. Let Palin enjoy Alaska and McCain Sedona. Let Obama work through the mess we’ve been handed.

Oh no! Now I know how GM, Ford & Chrysler suffer tremendous sales lose since even the “Country First” guy prefers a Toyota!

Some of you people are so rediculous and immature you amaze me. If you have nothing good to say don’t say anything May God forgive all of you . Sarah was a very good canidate for vice president and I hope she is back in 4 years to run for president I will vote for her, change is what you all want will I think we are going to get it and I don’t think it is going to be for the good and I am not going to blame it on our last president like everyone else does. God Bless this country and all who serve it.

Fine that some of you didn’t like that Sarah Palin is a feminist AND Republican, but can you not SHOW AN OUNCE of class by not talking such trash about her?
Obviously our new President Obama has not convinced you to let go of your divisiveness and hatred of those who don’t share your same beliefs. Perhaps, our new president was speaking directly to many in his own party when it comes to ending the pettiness and divide.

Palin was forsaken by her God.
“I’m going to know at the end of the day, putting this in God’s hands, that the right thing for America will be done, the end of the day on November 4th.” – Sarah Palin, Oct 2008
“The outcome for us was not what we wanted, what we anticipated, but you know that’s life and that’s life in politics also.” – Sarah Palin, Nov 5th, 2008

Alaska should put Palin out of her misery by putting her on a block of ice and sending her out to sea! BYE, BYE!

Dogpound, the money didn’t come from you, so don’t worry about it.

Out of control Kids ?? you might need to take a look around !The out of contol Kids are the one’s on T.V. last night.

My Pres, Keep race out of it, Obama is 50 % Caucasion .

Amen Dog Pound !

What a joke she is, a complete phony, one who told lie after lie about Obama. Took on as the ‘attack dog ‘ of the McCain campaign and now is trying to get our love and respect. Sorry, I just don’t down shift that fast.

MyPres:
Obama is 50 white, 44% Arab, 6% black… and 100% socialist.

Oh Sarah, “Wishing you a good life back in Alaska so this country, which is so great, can heal also. And fighting for national security, as great nations do also, we have to work with the new President. Leaving behind the negativity of the campaign, which was refreshing and positive experience for you also, get back to Alaska, where the real work also needs to be worked on” Hope you understand this message – was the grammer okay also?!

It is so unbelievable that you concervatives STILL think Sara Palin is smart, classy, pretty…aaarrrgghhh(well that is mostly men speaking I suppose). What a crock. Just shows YOUR lack of intelligence.
She is a self-serving airhead that knows nothing about our government or the geography of this country. She is a liar, a crook, an incitor and a total embarrassment to real women..who do NOT kill moose or ambush wolves from helicopters. Only place she might get a job is modeling for Lenscrafters.
Her actions and lack of common sense are what cost John McCain the loss of many, many votes. Maybe she and Todd will get Alaska to secede from the rest of the States so we will no longer have to hear her big mouth. U BETCHA!

It’s nice to see that some Republicans actually still give a damn about Palin. After McCain’s concession speech last night all she got was cold shoulders and a very noticeable lack of eye contact from fellow Republicans. After crying she looked around for comfort and most people in the McCain camp either avoided eye contact, shrugged her off, or gave her a mona lisa smile and quick hug. She looked like she was lost and quietly slipped away behind the curtain and not a single Republican batted an eye, or cared. I would almost have recast my vote for McCain seeing how she was treated last night (oh except that she’s as right wing as so many people commenting here). Anyway I don’t doubt for a second that some in McCain’s camp and other Republicans blame her for the loss. On that coldness I do sympathize with Sarah (McCain wasted no time in getting to Sedona, and bypassed Sarah for anything else). But please don’t suggest that she was a class act and that all of you defending her are because you are not (I have met one too many conservative Republican who is full of hatred and vitriol on a daily basis), so stop spewing your hypocrisy.

I’m sure Obama will be excited to work with her, after she equated him to a socialist, terrorist, etc.
I hope she rots in Alaska.

good luck sarah. it is great to see ALL the candidates acting respectful, dignified and willing to help get things moving in the right direction-now if only the supporters could stop the pettiness we might just be able to unite behind our new president.

The left is never going to stop picking on Sarah because she is a threat to them. She`s Harry Truman in a skirt. Every one loved Harry. The common man can identify with her. Elites are sheeple who have an extreme insecurity complex. They don`t know how to make a decision by themselves. They constantly have to look around and see what every one else is doing before they make a move. They can`t laugh at themselves either. They are also very angry. It has nothing to do with their politics, they just see the glass as half empty. Sarah sees it the opposite way. And she`s happy in her own skin. So what do you do to someone who is happy if you are a miserable liberal? You make fun of them and so do all your friends. Misery loves company. Also they don`t have Bush to bash anymore and they can`t bash the one. Looks like it will always be refreshing Sarah. Why can`t they just be happy that they won. I never heard of a sore winner.See, they are just angry people. I`ll never be that way. I`ll always see the glass as half full. I`ll always be self reliant. I`ll always vote Republican.

There were some things I liked and disliked about both Obama and McCain. I wasn’t truly happy with either one but until Palin joined the McCain ticket I favored McCain. After researching what Palin was about I decided she was a real scary person and not one I wanted one heartbeat away from being president. In the end I held my nose and voted for Obama because of Palin.

Oh please Sarah Palin…will you just disappear back into obscurity again?

Saint … nice try pretending to be an Australian. If you indeed are an Australian… you need some help. You are way too involved in American politics. I don’t even know who your president is. Or if you even have one… maybe you have a duke or king or tribunal or something. But I don’t think you’re an Australian. Just any angry republican pretending to be an outraged foreigner because it’s easy on the internet. Anyway, I gotta go. I’m writing from the moon & my space shuttle is here….

Our country has been a mess for years.
Obama is the answer to our prayers. The audacity of Hope.
No matter what color he is.
The Repubs need to re group. They have lost their appeal to the world.

Our country will be fine (Geez republicans sound like a doomsday warning, why: are you afraid Obama will take one of your seven houses?)
I would have been scared if Bush was to remain in office for anymore time then January.
He would hand the keys over to Lucifer if he could get another war going(there’s just this little problem that money is running out).

MCCAIN THE “MARATHON MAN”
• He still has a seat in the Senate.
• He still has the heartland of America, and even the Southern states.
• He still has the dignity of a servant’s heart.
• He still has the maturity of good sportsmanship.
His outstanding character was evident in his concession speech! And, tomorrow is another day in our national Senate, where the beautiful quality of Senator McCain’s character will shine forth…

Heard Sarah didn’t know Africa was a continent.

remember post 9-11 the world reached out, but our arrogance turned them against us. same thing now, many of us that supported mccain are willing to reach out and support obama for the sake of our beloved country. and we wish him the best. but comments like some on the board only serve to divide instead of unite. arrogance and gloating is not a good way to begin to heal.

Heard Obama thought there were like 59 states.

why do the libs hate Palin? Because:
She’s pretty.
Her husband actually *works*
All her children have the SAME father…

The way I see it the only liar is OBAMA WAKE up people Obama has yet to tell the truth about anything but how would anyone that voted for him know that because they only voted for race … We are doomed this is a Very sad day !!

saint Nov 5, 2008 11:21:26 PM:America’s enemies are already making demands – Russia couldn’t wait six days instead of six months – and your friends stand appalled at your sheer cowardice and stupidity in voting for a man so devoid of character and moral value.
Hate to tell you, but Russia is doing this on
Bush’s watch! Where is our fearless leader?
hiding in the corner right now. McCain was
so pissed off at him that he told him to stay
at the White House for the whole campaign
season! Great President Huh??
************************

That’s the least Sarah Palin can do.. be civil and accept a graceful defeat after all the vitreol she spilled on Obama.
Now, she heads back to Alaska where she belongs. She should also be honest enough to herself that the National Scene is definitely out of her league. Alaska is big enough to accomodate her, and already it is clear that in that northern state, she has already over-achieved.

Posted by Rafael: “Wow, after calling him a “terrorist”, linked to terrorists, etc. she now looks forward to serving him? She’s so fake….”
It is no wonder you voted for Obama. You cannot even comprehend the text of a simple article. Governor Palin did not say “she now looks forward to serving him…”. She was letting him know that as the Governor of an oil-rich state that carries a lot of weight, she will be staying on top of his energy policy-making decisions.

jeff: sarah palin left with dignity??
this article doesn’t have it but you can check foxnews (which is not even the “liberal elite” media according to palin) which quotes sarah palin as saying that obama won only because he had more money. that’s really graceful of her isn’t it?

We are the United States of America!!!!
God Bless America!!!!

Obama touted being for change and he selected Biden?? A crusty 35 yr lifer that hasn’t done a thing.
Now that’s funny.

I am utterly amazed at the hate still being spouted by the Obamabots after their candidate won. Can you imagine what it would be like if he had lost?

Um..what boards are you reading? I see lots of Repub haters as well…Try and stay objective.

Did someone just say “Palin had true character”? How is this “character” defined? Sarcastic, hateful campaigning? Divisive politics of the “real” America versus the “not real” America? Splurging over 200K on her clothes and make up in a month when an economic crisis hit the country? Using her kids as a prop?
Not being honest about her connections with the AIP? But questioning Obama’s patriotism?!! Or is she of true character because her “witch doctor priest” supposedly got rid of all her demons within? That magic wizardry/voodoo ritual did not work based on the nasty snakes and vermin she spewed out during the campaign. Enough!

How did the Republican campaign committee ever think “Joe the Plumber” would draw votes their way? He was a complete “phoney baloney” like the rest of their goofy ploys to win votes. I liked the response the Democratic campaign committee made to Joe Blow, when they stated they had interviewed “Stanley the Ironworker” who was building a bridge for Obama to the White House. I think if you took Sarah Palin’s husband out of the picture, she would have been totally helpless. What a bad joke they were.

May she never again come before the American electorate. Truly one of the dumbest people to ever stand before a microphone.

On the day she was selected she tried to hide her daughter’s pregnancy. She tried to deceive John McCain and the public. It is from that point on that she bacame a question mark. Still, she is charismatic enough to make a come back.

OK everyone, it’s past the bedtime on
the east coast. Lets start dropping the
rhetoric a notch. It’s all old news now
and starting to get redundant.
McCain and Paulin have their old jobs
back. Obama and Biden will
soon be in their new jobs, which I don’t
envy the responsibility right now.
Have a nice night everyone

Saw the Bill O’Reilly piece. Palin thought Africa was one huge country, then she couldn’t name the countries that make up North America! *ROTFLMAO*

It’s been fun to beat the Republicans whose only platform was lies and guilt by association tactics. That party isn’t what is used to be. The great party of Reagan has hit rock bottom.

Erika – I am inclined to agree with your last comment that gby82 secretly has a thing for Todd.

“Hillary is a working mom, a senator & a philanthropist.”
Hey Dem Mom: Hillary did give to charity… unfortunately is was the Clinton Foundation. I wish I could donate to myself and get the tax write-off!

okay I am 14… and if I can see that many of your sny comments and untrue accusations are just a worthless atempt to make yourself feel better then CAN IT!!! Many of you are ripping comments at Sara after the election. What? Where you too scared to voice your opinion ntil there was nothing anyone could do about it? GROW UP!!! And even if you did make comments about Sara before are you only speaking out because you feel that in four years SHE COULD THREATEN OBAMA BECOMING PRESIDENT AGAIN! Your darn RIGHT SHE WILL!!! Grow up face the music and live under obama’s dictatorship right now! And say good bye to all our rights…

Good luck to you and your family Governor Palin.
Thank you for your time and effort.
To all the haters, what state do you run?

LJC, can you comprehend this simple quote from energy expert Sarah Palin?
“Oil of coal, of course, is a fungible commodity and they don’t flag, ya know, the molecules where, where it’s going to, where it’s not, but and in the, in the sense of the Congress today they know our very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So I believe that what Congress is going to do also is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it’s Americans who get stuck holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here; it’s gotta flow into our domestic markets first.”

I don’t get it. Why are all the libs reading this article about Sarah, if they hate her so much? Go look at your B.O. site. Have some class.
About the race thing. I never thought once about the fact that B.O. is black. I thought about the fact, he doesn’t know anything about being the next pres. I don’t care what color he is!

Gas Money – hahahaha. you look forward to us libs falling on our faces because now we have control of the government? Good thing the republicans that have had control of this country for the last 8 yrs already knocked us on our a$$es. We don’t have far to fall, do we? There’s nowhere to go now but up.

BREAKING NEWS!!!!BREAKING NEWS….BREAKING NEWS
check out FOXNEWS.COM’s report from Carl Cameron on the front page!!!!!!
Sarah Palin apparently didn’t even pass the civics test they gave her. She didn’t know what countries belong to north america, didn’t know anything about NAFTA and didn’t know South Africa was actually it’s own country! CHECK IT OUT!!!!!!!!!

I am still wondering what makes Obama qualified to be President?
He has apparently lost his birth certificate, his college thesis, his Illinois senate records.
We will have a president that has never made any major business decisions nor run anything.
Perhaps he could spread the wealth by appealing one last time for donations
from all of the millions that have sent him money already. And just like all of his $600,000,000 he has already raised this money could also come from around the world. That way the stimulus package that the libs are already talking about would not have to be absorbed by the tax paying citizens of the US.

She took on an incumbent governor and won, negotiated a better contract than him – with 3 multi-billion dollar oil companies, cleaned house in her own party, and outclassed the gutless, shameless main stream media. (Did they ever ONCE ask her about these accomplishments). And through out it all she ALWAYS kept her poise. No hateful anything, period. To love people back when they hate you to your face. That is character – and strength. She is clearly not part of the Washington ‘Machine’ but far, far above it.

petreaus is a dem

Where’s Sarah’s birth certificate ?

Gas Money – Really? It was the Dems that put rules in place that allowed banks to make bad mortgages and fail? Really? Oh, ok. Well… I wonder (since you’re so smart) if you could tell me whose fault it was when the banks failed in the 80s for making bad mortgages? Daddy Bush was president & his son Neil (the one you NEVER hear about anymore) was head of one of the biggest banks that tanked & cost taxpayers trillions. So this same exact thing happened when Bush’s Dad was Pres & his brother was head of Silverado. This time around, his cousin was head of one of the banks. But somehow you believe it was the dems fault?

Umm… Dem Mom.. never bring a knife to a gun fight…
First.. Bush Derangement Syndrome anyone?
Second.. If you would like me to dig up all the video’s of Barney Frankenstein and his fellow cockroaches defending Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac I can.. but lets suffice to say that they fiddled while Rome burned for a few coppers.
Now you have to govern without the Bush excuse and all your tin foil hat wearing excuses will not hold water.

don – the story about Sarah Palin on fox news is coming straight from the McCain STAFF…they are airing their dirty laundry on FOXNEWS…
they said she’s stupid!

You know, I just have to put this socialism thing to rest. In the 1800s people lived in little shacks on dirt roads, farmed for their own food, weren’t educated & were primarily illiterate. They pumped water from a well or got it from the creek. If there was a fire, the neighbors grabbed buckets. If you got sick, you were SOL because nodody knew anything about disease because there was no such thing as research. The government started to change all that. They pooled some tax money together (aka socialism) & built roads. Built some schools and required all children to be educated. Funded emergency services and research to advance medicine, etc. Every aspect of your life is based on socialism. You benefit from it much more than the puny taxes you pay. In fact, the only reason you have a salary to pay taxes is because socialism educated you. But for some reason, it’s fine for YOU to benefit from socialism but not anybody else.

TIME TO TURN THE PAGE ON OLD AND TIME TO OPEN THE NEW.SO ITS TIME TO GET THIS COUNTRY BACK ON TRACK. GIVE IT TIME,BUT WE WILL SUCCEED.**CHANGE**

THANK YOU AMERICA FOR VOTING FOR OBAMA…I LOVE YOU, AMERICA!

Brenda,
“I truly hope that none of you nasty, hateful, vindictive people that have been on here spewing this hate on Sarah Palin has any children, because if you do I am so so very sorry for them, you mark my words, this nastiness will come back on you 10 fold always remember that the sins of the parents will behold the children and your nasty, divisive comments in reference to Govenor Palin and her wonderful family will come back on you.”
————————————–
All those words in one sentence? It is okay to use periods.

How nice to see such sore winners online. Enjoy your childish remarks for once BO implements his change you are all going to be crying not fair.
If only you had taken the time to actually research your candidate before you voted. If only you had bothered to ask what kind of change he has in store for all of us.
I did not agree with McCain on many things but he and his supporters are much better losers than most of you here are winners.

I know I’ve been pretty nasty toward Obama and the Dems. But I might have been wrong about some of those things. I apologize if I was.

Anyone with vision and integrity who believes they have something constructive to offer AND chooses to face the personal costs of stepping into the political spotlite deserves my respect whether I ultimately agree w/them or not. It’s easy to slide into bashing…look in the mirror first and start with humility. At some level we are all part of the same community and cannot afford to trash those who try.

Jeff,
Your post lost its point when you suggested Palin had integrity. There are historically many people who try to make it in public office who deserve nothing but scorn. I imagine you can think of a few yourelf.

Poor Sarah Palin.
She reminded me of a middle school cheerleader. Full of silly chants..drill baby drill! The day before the election I heard her say, “Now let’s change our chant to Vote baby Vote” I thought, Oh Lord how silly she is. And that horrible squeaky voice of hers, and that crazy winking. She reminded me of a middle school cheerleader. She acted like she had no clue what was going on. Just full of chants and slogan talk. Poor McCain was too old to be president. Oh lord, if he had won and something happen to him and Mrs Palin would have became our prez. Oh, it sends chills down my spine. She seems like a nice lady and very attractive, but she AIN”T no presidental canidate. Sorry, but I’m so glad she’s gone!

What “minority status” is this dimwit referring to? Women are the majority in this country. Being African-American isn’t a “status” any more than being gay is a choice, it’s simply one aspect of who someone is.
Please return – for good – to the only state in the Union whose bar for politicians is so low they’ve returned a convicted felon to office. You fit right in.

“This is an historic moment. Barack Obama has been elected president,” Palin added. “And God bless Barack Obama and his beautiful family and the new administration coming in. It is time that we all pulled together and worked together and America’s going to reach her destiny.” This is Sarah, trying to re-invent herself for a federal future. We have looooong memories, babe. We know who you are. We wont forget – and we wont let you forget, either. Thanks but no thanks. Back to Alaska with you – for as long as they can stand you. After all, they saw you too, didn’t they? Bon Voyage.

Nothing to avoid… as usual you trot out the tired G.W. Bush hate but fail in an epic way to defend your party that is responsible for the current situation we find ourselves in.
P.S. My bad on the whole name thing .. ;)

As long as we are stuck talking mid-80′s .. what ever happened to the Smurfs?

I can’t wait to see how the media that carried Obama from Day One to the Presidency treats him a year from now. I voted the democratic ticket right til the end of Jimmy Carters weak presidency and then I saw the strength of Ronald Reagan and have never considered going back. I prefer the party without all the name calling. Good luck to John McCain and to Sarah Palin. There are no attacks here. I just pray there are none on our country to test Mr. Obamas strength.

Palin supporters: You do not need her for a better energy policy; Just drive a smaller car and live in a small house.

Don, I agree with you. Did you know that Obama’s campaign did continue to send out letters asking for even more donations the weekend before Election Day? I wonder where all that extra campaign money received after the campaign is going? You made a good point about the vulnerable position he may put “U.S.” in with the world.

The Republican party seems to be scared that she might return and get nominated. They are already letting out dirty things about her and they might do more in Alaska to decimate her. She has more to fear from the GOP than anyone else.

Republicans…your feet must be burning cause your party burnt to the ground last night. Palin was the fuel that started it and I for one am very proud of her for doing just that.
Now I am going to sit back and watch what is left of the Republican party fight it out between what they once were and what the neocons want. And the best thing…..the Republican party isn’t important anymore.

Obama said once that he had gone through “57 states” in the US. The fact is, there are 57 Muslim countries in the Mid East.

Palin is happy. She got a long vacation from the backwoods, freebies for the whole clan that she wasn’t supposed to get, and attention that she hadn’t had since her beauty queen days.
McCain who was actually ‘someone’ before the campaign is left to assess how much he lost in the campaign.

Oh, my, C….you certainly have your panties in a knot. The republican party is dead, dead ,dead. And best thing about Obama’s election last night…he’s YOUR president too. I noticed in your post that your keyboard is missing a few letters so here are the ones I figured you don’t have…OBAMA.

Where’s My ga Pills:
I doubt you know where that quote came from without looking it up.

Puhlease.. Bugg.. don’t insult the maestro when he is busy schooling you.
:)

Adolf my friend. You are allowing your true self be exposed. It is very easy to insult the black race while you hide behind the obscurity of this blog. If you really mean that nasty insult that you just hurled a the whole black race, why dont you walk up to the next black guy that you see and be man enough to say that to his face. I am willing to bet that you are a fu–ki–g coward and dont have the balls to back up that hateful dialog. Be a man ass hole…

I suspect you are the one googling it. You said it, of course, if that counts.

I wonder at how one day prior she could be saying such vile things and the next praising the victor about how uplifting he is to the country. The majority of people realize that there was little truth in the statements and cast them aside as they did their campaign. Now she returns to Alaska where in most states she could be facing impeachment but not likely in Alaska. There she will probably be finding a way to kick the Felon to the curb to high tail it to the Senate. I hope I’m wrong. The cynical position has been working so far, why change now.

And you bigot – don’t question my patriotism, don’t claim God favors you more than me and don’t tell me I see America the wrong way while you see it the right way.

c @ 1:56
Treason is right!
You should know the issues and check the fact before you make a choice the rest of the country will have to live with.
Your vote counts, but you should vote for more than hate of the other party.
Hatred is as bad as racism.

You were so cruel to state “I am not for putting the rape victim who had abortion in jail”. Arrogant moron – the question was about your stand on abortion in the case of a 15 year victim of rape and incest. And you are talking about putting that victim in jail??? How heartless can you get?

Interestingly, despite what other commenters have asserted, I have plenty of brain cells, having graduated from an Ivy League U. with honors, and yet I identify thoroughly with Sarah Palin. One hopes that we can value diversity of opinion here in America. Sarah Palin was a credit to women and to America.

Tonya: Just responding to the question posed by PS Thomas who asked why there are women who don’t like Palin.
My views are no way trying to speak for every single woman. Just trying to give PS Thomas a little insight as to why -some- women might not be Palin fans.
Even though I didn’t want her as my VP, I certainly don’t have any ill-will towards Palin– I wish her success with her growing family.

c
I am a Barack Obama supporter and I have more important matters at hand.
You represent what was left behind in your party last night and that is ignorance, foolishness, and your identity.
I can understand your bitterness as I know that you don’t understand that you can take the trash out of the trailer but you can’t take the trailer out of the trash.
Can you say President Barack Obama is my president too? Come on, say it with me…President Obama is my president too. Good BOY!!!
Oh, and did you see that President Obama’s half sisters country has called tomorrow a national holiday in celebration of electing the first BLACK man to the PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Oh, you must have forgot, he is YOUR president too.

Umm Bugg.. the whole “Kill Him” thing was total BS ask the secret service or look it up.. once again you = fail

democratic.. how nice of you to notice only race.. good job on that whole color blind society thing… keep it up

Hey WMGM
Black is beautiful baby!!!!

Bugg.. I know the quote and I know the source.. I used a little latitude in this particular instance because using the phrase ” I shall return” makes no sense … so I’ll collect either your Birkenstocks or Che Guvara T-shirt for my trophy case .. I won’t take both I’m not a Dimocrat after all.

You republicans are so childish. Not once did anyone threaten to kill McCain for his views. We are not haters, we are uniters, we love and support your rights even when you dont realize they are being stolen(try visiting aclu.com every once in a while and see what freedoms your precious Bush is taking away). Palin propagated hate and fear at her rallies and she should be ashamed. America voted for change, positive change. It’s time for republicans to get on board, the world is progressing and American voters have proven they will not tolerate ignorance and racism any longer. We don’t hate your party even though your President has done everything he could to run this great country into the ground. Protect your constituion or you may wake up without any rights. All Americans need to start showing compassion for each other or our society will continue to erode. There is no room for selfishness and hatred. You are offered a better world but it can’t happen if you dont want it. If you prefer to live in hate and fear, then ask yourself why you are so negative and get help. Peace to all, I am proud to have Obama as a president.

we should all be as gracious in winning or losing as McCain was………. no need for the winners to gloat and no reason for those who didn’t win to continue the disdain.

Great job Sarah. You’ll have my vote 4 years from now when “the one” is thru wrecking our country.

Betchyah
Drill Baby Drill, what she needs is to get drilled herself by Joe!!!!!
What a joke…
I liked Mcain until his “country first NOT” choice of pale in.
I need a President or a VP atleast as inteligent as me not a hill billy, Dumb ass and who wins atleast more votes to be governor than the number of people in LA.
wink wink…..

You go “Gas Guy”… Keep driving your points home to those who have ears to hear! I’m a rare Republican in a liberal West Coast state. There are so many out here who are deaf and blind, and it’s not just the economy that is crashing.

Absolutely Bugg. The truth has prevailed. Everything is currently as it should be! Apart from the fact that those stooges are still sitting in the White House signing into law their arcane laws behind our backs while we’re momentarily distracted by the elections! Good riddance to them, I say. Here’s to January and Obama! ;-)

You Dims are not my fellow Americans and never will be. Enjoy your socialist Dear Leader. It will cost you dearly and I mean dearly.

to the commenter that said:
electing Obama was an act of treason… So over half of the country that you supposedly are so ‘pro-America’ about has committed treason?
you hope we get nuked because Obama will allow us to get attacked?
(funny, your guy GWB allowed us to get attacked on 9/11, but…).
wow. it must really, really suck to be you. your ignorance and hatred will destroy you. but probably not before it infects others, unfortunately.

…way too much emphasis on Barack’s skin color…and the word is “MIXED RACE” not “BLACK”…can’t people even get that one right…?
Like Bob Marley said:
“And until the color of a man’s skin
Is of no more significance -
than the color of his eyes”
C’mon now, it’s 2008! Time to climb out of the ignorance hole we’ve been in for way too long!

I found it humorous that the republican pundits kept chanting that Bin Laden was going to release a tape the weekend before the election. Guess what? NO TAPE! Now seeing that their party snookered them they are pissed and embarrassed. So what do these mental midgets do, they make false statements that President Obama is one of them, meaning the terrorist. I hope the next 8 years of Obama’s presidency goes very very slow for you. Remember, he is YOUR president too.

Yeah, every person who put a mark beside the name of Hussein Obama committed an act of treason.

Carl?

What freedoms were lost?
Obama is not the President, he is the President elect.
Our President is President Bush?
Obama is not just BLACK he is also WHITE. He acknowledges both races and so should the rest of the world.
My foster child likes to be known to be apart of the world as whole, not on one side or the other.

House Gorillas.
You’re allowing your ignorance to seep out. Be very careful that those insults you’re throwing Michelle Obama’s way dont come back to haunt you someday.

Most republican supporters act like whiny bully cowards in the playground of an underfunded, uneducated school, lol. Grow up. Now the rest of the world may begin to respect the USA once again, once Obama puts right all of the abhorrent and illegal acts against humanity committed by the Bush Administration (yes, misled into invading a country and killing US servicemen in vain, not to mention the tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis, amongst many, many other reprehensible acts that should put those thugs away for life…)
and you, c, have the nerve to say that the new President-elect, is THUGGISH…keep taking the pills, son, LOL!

Zeke, take it easy on the drugs. 2000 years ago, Christians were doing a lot of the killing. But enjoy the pablum fed you by the church.

Don’t let the door hit you in the behind Sarah dear. The only way the Republicans will bring you back is if they want to lose again in 2012. And, Zeke, McCain showed some class. His booing supporters showed zero. Time for them to crawl back under their stones.

NOTE TO EDITOR: After quoting Sarah please insert “SIC” where appropriate, so that we, the readers will not assume we are looking at a typographical error!

Is she for real? **** Palin declined to engage in any criticism of her campaign, saying the experience had been “entirely positive and refreshing and energizing,” **** Entirely POSITIVE????? Is she kidding??? Good bye, Sarah, and GOOD LUCK! (You’re gonna need it! You Betcha! Wink! Wink!)

“She continues to be a tool”
Nuff said

So Bristol can get that termination now?

Any Republican with any sense is realizing this is a wake-up call for the Party, and that it’s time to take a cold hard look at where we went wrong.
A large part of it lay in choosing Palin to appeal to our “faithful” even while she alienated everybody else. Those of you who can’t see this not only don’t do America any good, you don’t do Republicanism any good.

i just have to say sarah palin most defintaley needs to go home to alaska and really do her homework on every major policy going on in this country….maybe then just maybe she has a fair shot in 2012…no room for dumb moments today…

See yah!! wouldn’t wanna be yah!!
Won’t be missed. Except the Tina Fey shows. =(

It’s hilarious how some Obama supporters are fixated on the corruption of Ted Stevens, but they don’t even blink over the fact that Obama has dinner parties with terrorists, had his home partially paid for by a convicted felon by the name of Tony Rezko, or sat in church for 20 years listening to a psycho preacher ranting and raving about Jews and America.
…Ted Stevens…ha, ha, ha !

Have you read all the threats from Russia , North Korea, etc today ? The World knows that we have a WEAK, Unedrexperienced Pres Elect! only 167 days more experience than Palin had. WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE! The military will be downscaled & our taxes will be double! Democrats increase the welfare rolls! That’s who were the “new voters” that turned the Election!

Is Alaska not part of United States? Is McCain not an American? Negative attitudes like these could causes terror in this country some days. If you negative people are so wonderful then run for the office.

whether the so called pitbull go further or not, all pols will have to deal with real issues and solutions; “energy” is no longer just a means to an end for more mindless consumption at the “cheapest”price per gallon( blood for oil?); but if it fits into a larger context of global ecology and conservation (for the future).
Where she went wrong is where the GOP has gone adrift and now on the verge of obsolete. Get in line with what really works for the future and you have a place at the table..
no more botton down, big business first, while neglecting the environment, and the working class.

Elections are over. The winner is Obama. Now is the time to look forward and not back. The decisions are in and all that is left now is to see who sticks to the words they said during the many speeches that were given. I supported McCain and Palin because I beleived they could reform this country into what it needs to be. But I will support Obama as well until he gives me just reason not to. It is time to let go of the election and move forward with the task at hand, getting this country back on track. If we spent more time focusing on that instead of all teh negative comments about one another, we would get there a lot faster.

Fox News should offer Sarah Palin a job ….. right after the Alaska Legislature impeaches her and removes her from office! You betcha! Wink! Wink!

Jason:
“Is Alaska not part of United States? Is McCain not an American? Negative attitudes like these could causes terror in this country some days. ‘
——————————————
I agree. The fact that Alaska is part of the US strikes me, too, as being very negative.

” see there are still plenty talking trash. One report that got very little coverage was: “Palin Cleared by Alaska Panel in Ethics”
————————————–
Yes, cleared by the investigator that she had appointed. Lol. If I am ever investigated by the cops for something, can I choose who will investigate and write the conclusions of the investigation?
Despite her stone-walling, the GOP-initiated legislative probe found her guilty of violating the Alaska Ethics Act.

You’re all so full of it. Hello. Allow me to introduce myself. IQ 182. Palin supporter. Female. Independent. Pro-Choice.
* you all. Thanks, Sarah, for putting up with the idiots and the half-bright fools. I couldn’t have done it without strangling one of them with my bare hands. Your focus is amazing.

“Allow me to introduce myself. IQ 182. Palin supporter. Female. Independent. Pro-Choice.”
Yeah, everyone is exactly who they want to be on the internet. As someone of your “intelligence” should know.

“I cannot wait to see her in four years.”
Don’t hold your breath. The world learned enough about her in THIS vetting process.

So, have you Republicans given up pretending to be Democrats. blacks and women who will vote for McCain yet?
Ha ha ha ha ha

Coleen:
Hello. Allow me to introduce myself. IQ 397. Hank Hill supporter. Female. Spanish teacher. Pro-Choice, if Hank agrees.
Thanks to Sarah, for putting up with the free clothes for the family and the fawning that must have made her feel like a beauty queen. I couldn’t have done it without smilling while telling those vile lies about them. Her smile is amazing.

Sarah Palin made a huge splash at the republican convention and many people were in awe of her, they called it the Palin effect. Unfortunately soon thereafter when Palin had to speak without a script the Palin effect became the catfish effect “All mouth and no brains”. No ifs, ands or buts about it she cost John McCain the election. If Sarah Palin is the future of the republican party, the party has no future.

Her winning in 2012: 0%
Her winning Dancing with the Stars: 100%

Yes, we’re all smart and handsome/beautiful on the Internet. Isn’t it great?

Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish!1!!

do you think she’ll drop off her $150k in clothes to Goodwill on the way back to Alaska?

I think I figured out why she couldn’t or wouldn’t answer the question about what publications she gets her news from …… she knew “Field and Stream” wouldn’t go over too well! (wink wink)

John McCain proved with his quick choice of Sarah Palin, that he is not the man for the job of President of the United States of America. It has been quick decisions by our present president, that has got our country in serious trouble, beginning with the war in Iraq. People interviewing for a job with “McDonald’s” get more then one quick interview, like the one Sarah Palin got with Mccain. It was rediculous of him to think she could handle what it took to become his V.P. A small town, moose skinner, who was an inexperienced, 2 year Governor of a small populated State like Alaska. I still can’t believe as many people in America actually voted for them, but they both obviously “fooled most of the people; most of the time”.

“This is an historic moment. Barack Obama has been elected president,” Palin added. “And God bless Barack Obama and his beautiful family and the new administration coming in. <—- After all the rhetoric of Obama being a terrorist and how she would say stuff like we just don't know who Barack is…. now she thinks he's the greatest thing since slice bread. This just affirms my opinion that politicians will say anything to get elected even though they know what they are regurgitating is false. sigh

Truth ******* According to her schoolmates in Alaska, Sarah Palin was the “mean girl” you are referring to. They called her “Sarah Barracuda” because she was so ruthless! And you’re right about one thing …. girls like her DON’T change as they age …. they just get meaner.

Well said Dorothy.
Something people like “truth”, “peace” and all his/her other names doesn’t understand – having tits does not make you a feminist.

There she goes…the quintessential “hockey mom”, the “Everywoman” going back home with a line-up of limos complete with Secret Service detail taking her sorry a*s as well as 18 members of her family back home. Contrast this to John McCain who drove himself in his SUV from Phoenix to Sedona with no Secret Service detail. Just shows me what a complete HYPOCRITE Palin is when she puts herself out to be the “average” woman. I have no problems with her saying what she is, a self-absorbed, power-crazed, religious lunatic who has no problem using other people’s money to bolster herself and her family. At least she’d be honest.

All I can think of when I read this story is … “Whew! THAT was close!”

“While publicly supporting Palin, McCain’s top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family–clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent “tens of thousands” more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast,” and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.”

“I didn’t really care that much for Palin as a politician but I can respect her as a human being and I have immense respect for McCain.”
Well that’s a difference between you and me then. Even as a Republican, I have very little respect for her as a human being. I have much more for McCain, but to see this fundamentally decent man in front of his jeering “supporters” during his concession speech was painful. And I advise against pointed terms like “vitriolic diatribes” especially when you are telling others not to be nasty. On the net, the view of people who disagree with you is always a “vitriolic diatribe” it seems.

Just in case anyone missed this, here it is again:
Educational background of candidates:

The proof is in the pudding…!

I’m tooo happy that Obama WON to say anything else Bad about Palin or McCain. We did what we had to during the campain, now it’s time to balance the national checkbook.

Future ‘Where are they now?’ piece.

Well, good night everyone …. and goodbye, Sarah …. wherever you are!

Obama is the poster child for ruthless. Look how he attacked the Clintons for being racists. Look how he ruthlessly eliminated his competition during his race towards the IL Senate. Ruthless is how the left, bloggers and media attacked Palin, her family, special needs child and daughter within the days and hours of McCain selecting Sarah. Ruthless is how you petulant liberals attacked GWB for 8 years. There is no partisanship. There is no cross the aisle. Payback will be a bitch and in the words of your fake half white leader, “get in their face” “bring a gun to a knife fight” you liberal f-c-k-e-r-s are going down, we have our bibles our guns and man are we bitter.

Sarah, can you please pick up some ice on the way home?
And also 1000 liters of hot water (it’s chilly). We gonna deep-freeze it – you can always need hot water in Alaska !!!

Who cares that Obama is Black, I don’t care that he is Black. I just want someone to go and lead this country, the way a president is suppose to. And if no one here knows how thats done, then no one should be saying anything about who was our president and who our president will be. Lets not bicker about whos in the house, let all the American people, black, white, brown what ever color come together and support each other. Thats what were forgeting no one is going to help us unless we help each other!!!

OMG! She really doesn’t realize she’s a CARTOON! Remember now, those clothes don’t belong to you, they were forced upon you by the RNC, and are now going to charity . . . right?

Gina; classy ladies don’t shoot moose from a helicopter! But I guess that might be classy from someone who lives in a trailer!

Dear “Flipside”,
Am I mistaken or did you end your message with an obscenity, a threat and a reference to the bible – all in the same sentence? Something tells me you’re not a conservative or a liberal. You’re a disturbed individual. I feel sorry for you.

Pana,
Would those be the ‘kind words’ about “palling around with terrorists…? lol
Seems like flipside needs to be locked in a padded cell. Dangerous, violent threatening crap like that is why the Republicans lost. Shame on you.

“Simply”
Thats funny, I’m quoting and using pretty much the same words your new great leader has used in the past. Speak with him

Because of its rigidity and inflexibility, ideology contains the seeds of its own ending. Any particular brand of it, except at the point of a gun, usually doesn’t last more than a generation. The internal “tensions” spoken of within the party are another of its symptoms. Not just bent on finding a host of enemies outside itself, it usually turns inward and starts devouring its own self. This collapse under the weight of its own inertia can now help the RNC – not rebuild necessarily based on ideology but in providing a message of what works and what doesn’t. And let’s hope it does. Desenfranchising a sizeable portion of the voting population – in other words having no voice within our political system for them – is dangerous. It only radicalizes further this group which then comes back to haunt the Body Politic in even greater excesses.

How lame, that even after the election, and even after having WON, that Obama supporters are the ones choosing to not unify. Reading these posts is disheartening. It is my sincere hope that Obama, reaches out to all Americans, INCLUDING Republicans, and leads in uniting this country. Palin could contribute much to this nation’s energy policy, and I believe Obama is wise – and he will turn to her for input. The election is over, Americans please stop trashing Americans. Time to unite!

For so many of President-Elect Obama’s supporters, if you don’t agree with another’s positions on issues, you feel the need to tear them down. I feel sorry for you. I truly feel sorry that you are so intolerant of others and their opinions.

It’s not enough to win. The haters still gotta hate.

For you “women” who think any “intelligent” woman wouldn’t support Palin, you are desperately mislead. I am college-educated and supported her values of life and that every child has a right to it. She is doing what you feminists said a woman should be able to do-anything she wants: career, family, etc. HOWEVER, she was criticized by the liberal media for being in politics with a “handicapped” child. How could she possibly do both? What hypocrits! As for Obama, I tremble, but only time will tell if he is truly an American or something else in disguise. As for him being “black,” I distinctly remember the Reverend(used with extreme sarcasm)Jessie Jackson criticizing him for being “too white.” Then he cries. Yet another hypocrit! Let us not forget that he was reared by his white side. I don’t recall any of his black side being around for too long. Again, hypocrits. As far as the comment, “we now have someone to represent us”, don’t forget JFK. Yes, he was white and privileged, but he believed in equality for all people. As did MANY nonblacks who worked in the Civil Rights Movement. From what I have seen it’s not that blacks want to rid the world of racism, just that the scales tip more toward them. You cannot get anymore racist than Jessie Jackson. JUst ask a Jew!

Jim Treacher, if you read some of the posts here and on other stories about the election you should notice that not all of us who supported Obama are haters or are spewing hate. I would also point out that there are also a significant number of McCain supporters who have been posting some hate of their own. I think that we all need to step back at this point and put aside our differences. I would also ask that you read a little more closely and not paint all Obama supporters with the same brush just as others should not paint all the McCain supporters with the same brush. Here is my hand in peace and reconciliation. Can you offer yours?

Its funny that the angry bitter Obama supporters are still telling the McCain/Palin supporters to shut up. They won: what do they care what other people think?

For all who trash Palin for bringing up Rev. Wright, Ayers, Rezzo, it’s nothing that hadn’t been brought up before by Hillary Clinton during the Dem. Primary elections. Something the press never questioned Obama enough about or challenged his weak answers. Hillary won every major state and printed a blue print on how to beat Obama, she just ran out of time and states and should have started her strategy earlier. It’s not Palin’s fault that McCain was too dumb to follow Hillary’s Blue print, she tee’d it up. You also trash Palin for her international experience but Obama had plenty of gaffs, his response to the Russian invasion of Georgia, he said that the Security Counsel should write a declaration of condemnation, but he didn’t know that Russia was a member of the Security Counsel and would veto his very suggestion. You trash her for clothes and travel expenses, what about the Obama’s expenses, who paid those and how much did he spend, what about the $700K spent on a stage of fake Greek columns and props for a 40 minute speech. The hate towards this women and the double standard is pathetic.

Ted, she looks at the country quite differently. As it turns out, she apparently doesn’t even know that it’s part of North America.
Watch the video on the home page at Fox News.

It looks like stevens will get re-elected. If he has to step down, can palin appoint herself as senator of Alaska?

Good-bye
Good luck
Good riddance

Frankly, as a woman, I’m very worried about the hatred and anger against women that has been rife and allowed during this campaign. No one arrested the people who put up the Palin effigy either. Hopefully I’m not the only one that notices the phenomenon that’s morphing day by day online, on tv, and even just at the stores. I am concerned about the future in this regard. I’m for unity and will respect our new Prez. With this great new progress it seems as if women have now been shoved out of the way and forced to remain two steps back. So in order to respect and laud our new Prez and progress we are encouraged to insult and disparage women even more right? Otherwise, let me understand this one, if we don’t we’re unpatriotic, rascist, etc? No way, uh uh. Good Luck Sarah Palin, hope you come back in 2012 or sooner.

dheep sure,
but..first these reports are all hearsay…get that person on in person on the record. Enough with leaks and secondhand conversations…there were gaffs all around..how about when Biden talks about FDR coming on TV after the 1929 crash to speak to the nation. Just brillant, and he’s a smokers failed bypass away from the Precidency?
Here’s my position. To come aboard in August in the heat of the elections, be
unproven, get up to speed and campaign for just 2 months is asking a lot for anyone. MMQB, it was the wrong choice, but then again she drew a hell of
a lot of crowds for him. I hate that all the dirt is coming out now, it is useless. Focus on McCain and his choices and not the gossip of what’s being leaked..

What a mistake McCain made was evident
the first time Sarah opened her mouth.
She proved she was not really intelligent about the world and her
use of the english language was like one would use in a bowling league.
Too bad, so sad the Republican heirarchy
made such a mistake with McCain.

You haters are now left to wallow in your misery. Palin will still be a winner/Governor, and you will still be losers. Obama can’t do 1/10 of the millions of things you all want. For you simpletons to suffer for your stupidity truly makes me happy.

ha ha ha ha ha ha –the repubs are still kicking and screeming—–next they will want a recount—-.but the people have spoken–and the people rule—-bunch of sickos.

“So we’ll reach out to Barack Obama and to the people who he surrounds himself with,” Palin said of her desire to work with the new president-elect on the issue.
========================================
Even if he pals around with terrorists?
This woman is a trip! Go back to Alaska and hibernate. Take a copy of the constitution with you and read it. Don’t forget a globe so you can find the African CONTINENT!

Actually, her nomination is NOT historical. Had they won, she would have been the first female VP. Since Ferraro had already been the first female to ever been on a major party’s ticket, that distinction is hers. Being the first female VP candidate in another party is not history making in my eyes. Those type of stats are fun on ESPN, not one for the history books.

Obamas in tha House!!! Palin and McCain I wish you luck in whatever you choose in life, but Sarah its just too hard to get past all the negativity you have created. I will never support you in any political capacity. You had the chance to run a respectable campaign and you didnt, you chose the low road, and I just believe thats your way.

God–sent Sarah Palin to help our country see things clearly. Those us us who voted against her ticket should recognize her true contribution to his process.
If in four or eight years, the country needs more clarification, she may be ready to ofter her services again. For now, we should let her go in peace.

Mountainaires wrote “Gov. Palin has showed grace and dignity throughout this campaign.”
I disagree.
It is neither graceful nor dignified to wink repeatedly into the camera during a VP debate.
It is neither graceful nor dignified to pander to a certain republican base by “amping up” your folksy accent by droppin’ all your G’s.
It is neither graceful nor dignified to laugh with delight when someone says “Taking away life, that is so fun.”
It is neither graceful nor dignified to giggle like a schoolgirl and say “We just love you!” when you believe you are speaking with the President of France.

jrc903 wrote “If in four or eight years, the country needs more clarification, she may be ready to ofter her services again.”
She could try for a comeback much sooner than that. Those silly Alaskan voters may have re-elected a convicted felon to the senate. Sen. Ted Stevens would have to step down, an interim senator be appointed by Palin, then a special election held for a permanent replacement.
It would be difficult for Palin to appoint herself but there would be nothing stopping her from running in the special election.

Palin… classy? Please, she is the biggest liar. All the scandals are coming up now. How pathetic she was. Africa a continent? a country??? hahahaha

Watching McPain twitch his midget arms and drool over Palin every time he stood beside her was WAY too creepy. It was like watching your great-grandpa watch porno. I’m glad she’s gone, and something tells me Cindy McCain’s even gladder than I am.

“Little people continue to make small statemnets. Real people, like Sarah Palin, rise to the occasion and continue to act with class and dignity.”
Um, like you did, calling a total stranger by a vile perjorative?
FYI, liberal, conservative, whatever — you have NO credibility when you attack people for attacking. Why don’t some of you read up on the rules of debate and how to apply logic to your arguments so you all aren’t falling back on endless, useless, pointless ad hominem attacks.

One reason McCain and Palin lost is that they didn’t even try for lies you couldn’t see through. At one point McCain said, “I know how to catch Osama Bin Laden”. If he knew how to catch Bin Laden but was only going to tell someone if he were made President, isn’t that treason AND extortion? That would make McCain a terrorist, eh? You betcha!

Energy policy advice? Hrmmmm…. yeah. You have a safe trip, Sarah. And don’t call us. We’ll call you.

I am proud of Gov. Sarah Palin, and I have a good feeling she will be our next president. God Bless Gov. Palin and her family

The Republicans are standing behind our new President elect and wishing him well, as we are all Americans and his success is ours.
The Democrats still cannot let go of the pettiness.
Sarah Palin is one classy lady and she will be missed for the time being. She does have a two-way ticket, though and will be back.

I am a McCain supporter, but the people have spoken.
I wish President-elect Obama success. We must all unite as Americans and forget the partisanship.
God Bless Sarah and her beautiful family.

You nasty little venomous people, your lives must be so sad and distasteful, that you have to try to tear down another person. Here is the fact, if you don’t like her that’s fine, if you don’t agree with her policies that’s fine, but to viciously attack her and her family is ridiculous, most of you on here are probably just here sucking up oxygen and have never done a thing in your lifetime for the better of other human beings, but yet you trash those who do. You have called this Govenor Dumb, you have wished for her demise and you have siad horrible things about her family, but just remember everything that you wish against her will come back on you 10 fold and everything nasty that you wish against her family will come back on your family 10 fold. People can agree to disagree but to assasinate her charecter is just nasty and disgusting. Someone on here said I hope her plane Crashes, another comment I hope she is eaten by a Polar Bear, well the likely hood of the Polar Bear incident being returned is limited, but the likely hood of their family members or themselves being in a plane crash is very very possible, people should think before they speak because the venom that you put out will 99.5% time come back on you and your family and for those of you who have children. God help you, because the same nasty wrath that you have unleashed on Sarah Palin and her family will hit you like a ton of bricks, and just remember during those times when you are forced to question why did this happen, just take a good look in the mirror and the answer will be looking back at you. I promise you that.

I’m fairly impressed. If we had heard more of this through the election cycle I might have “lukewarmed” up to her. Positivity goes a long way…Sarah has alot to learn, maybe she will from this. We can only hope. Good Luck to Sarah!
Go Obama! You deserve the Presidency!!

Took the names of the most idiotic posters on this site. Get a life you morons. Liberism is a disease. The symptoms include but are not limited to: hate, intolerence, delusions of grandeur, lack of empathy, shallow thinking, inability to reason, class envy, pettiness, etc. Don’t hold your breath waiting for your checks. O-ba-ma!, O-ba-ma!

Bye,
Hope you get eaten by a polar bear!
Posted by: Tina | Nov 5, 2008 10:04:06 PM
Tina, I too voted for Obama. However, your comment is not necessary. Not nice! Let’s stop this, and give the Governor the respect and let her be…

I’m Democrat and voted for Obama
I have liberal as well as conservative friends. My conservative friends would have obviously preferred a different ending, but they are not right winged weirdos like you all say. They are young hard working, family men and women who have different political views, that’s all. The women were inspired by Sarah Palin and the family values she represented. They have all expressed their support for Obama.
Let’s stop the hatred against one another please.

It will be interesting to see where the left takes out its anger now that BO has won. Where will you vent your hate when you can’t use Sarah Palin, George Bush or Republicans as a punching bag anymore?
Lots of luck libs. You are in for a healthy dose of your own medicine over the next four years as we get to sit back and criticize, challenge, nit pick, and armchair quarterback every mistake made by BO, and there will be plenty of them.
The stock market sure is giving our president elect a nice warm welcome. Where’s the hope? Just sayin.

I’m a liberal, but I realize Obama has a big challenge ahead.
He announced yesterday he will re-establish the Bush tax cuts when they expire and not raise taxes on businesses or those making 250,000 and above for now.
I guess this means that Universal Healthcare and the tax cuts and checks are out of the question for now…
There will be many disappointed… He stated one thing in the campaign trail and is now doing what McCain said he’d do??? Hmmm

My neighbor is also a “breath of fresh air”, does not mean I would want her to be VP of this country. Whenever Sarah Palin opened her mouth without a script in front of her, she reflected ignorance …. sheer ignorance. She does not represent Women of this country as majority of women voted for Obama and not for Palin. I don’t hate her, but would prefer if she does her homework and then speak. Maybe 2012 if she has desire to learn and not just show up to stump.

Rudy…Great post. Sarah is one classy lady. She and her family will be just fine and we will see a lot of her in the future. To attack her as so many of you have,shows lack of respect. How petty so many of you are!!! Grow up and get a life. PALIN IN 2012!!

Buh Bye Pitbull! Thank God I dont have to look at her lying, frauding, fear, hate mongering Face Again! The lower 48 Will be much better off without her she is a nasty woman!

Matteroffacts…I agree with you about the media. They NEVER gave Sarah a fair chance. They “nit-picked” everything she said or did. We NEVER heard the media tear apart OB or Biden. The media are the ones who elected OB. How sad!! Thank heaven we conservatives have Rush, Hannity,Ingrahm, Beck to listen to. They all lay it out on the line and tell it like it is.

Doesn’t she realize that now with Barack in the White House she can forget The Pipeline and AK oil $.

Having read through the above posts, I am astounded at how many seemingly intelligent people can be so self-blinded and self-deluded — yes, simply stupid. The only thing that the election of Barack Obama proves is that when the majority of any country are told that by electing a certain person or party to power they can vote themselves the country’s treasury, they will do so! No country can long survive when that happens.
There is something rather unseemly about the celebration of the election of Barack Obama as the first African American United States President (actually, as can be seen from his father’s birth certificate – since he won’t produce his own — he is not African American, he is more Arab than anything else).
For one thing, it violates that credo coined by the late Martin Luther King, Jr., of judging a man by the content of his character and not the color of his skin.
Why the adulation? For Barack Obama’s supporters, the reaction is understandable. Their guy won. Now, this January, a new government will come to power, led by Barack Obama, that will institute their favorite policies. And, of course, they are to be spared the horrors of a John McCain Presidency. Think of it as Ronald Reagan in reverse, except that Barack Obama’s supporters do not think that implies bringing back the Soviet Union and stagflation.
But there is something else, something just a little creepy and self congratulatory. “We just elected an African American President of the United States. Aren’t we special? Won’t you now love us?” One supposes that the election of Barack Obama should mean that all is forgiven for slavery and Jim Crow. We can move beyond the resentments over unfortunate history and truly now live in a color blind society. Only we won’t!! If you think that will be true, just read again many of the above posts — particularly those written by Obama supporters themselves! Many of them are the true racists on this site!
The racial grievance industry in America is simply too profitable to too many people (e.g., Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpen, and their ilk) to be let go just because Barack Obama is headed for the White House. That fact will especially become apparent to anyone who seeks to oppose Barack Obama’s policy initiatives. No other President of the United States has had the ability and has used it adeptly and cunningly to play the race card against his political enemies.
Besides, is Barack Obama not the same man he was on the morning of November 4th as he was on the evening of November 4th? He is still the same shifty, glib, corrupt, inexperienced, radical, arrogant, prideful politician that his opponents were warning about. He still is the same man who favored socialism at home and appeasement abroad. He is still the same man that has pushed extreme abortion and infanticide. He still has the same scary friends such as William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright. Barack Obama still has that incredible capability to take one position one day and the exact opposite the next.
This is who has been elected. And don’t think for one minute that I am a white Republican. You will be wrong. Had it been Martin Luther King, Jr., or any one of 30 other blacks, rather than Obama, I would be in the street dancing and celebrating. As it is, I am left with great fear for my children and grandchildren and for the future of our nation!

Senator Obama is calling upon all Americans to refrain from destructive politics. We have our ideological differences, but seeing Senator Obama and his family on that stage accepting the responsibility to lead our country filled me with resounding pride in the progress our country has made. His message and promise of a new way of approaching our serious national problems in a bipartisan way may change and further strengthen our country.
I’m proud of Senator McCain and Governor Palin for trying very hard in a climate that proved very unfavorable to them. Rest assured, Senator McCain will continue to make history and Governor Palin definitely has a great future if she takes the lessons of her sudden and sometimes shaky appearance in national politics.
We have to many problems in this country to be making petty Sarah jokes.

The more we learn about Sarah Palin the scarier it becomes she was that close to getting into the White House.
Does NOT know Africa is a continent? Wow. Maybe Miss “such as” South Carolina can give Sarah some tips about getting a map.

so many lefty’s with traumatic brain injuries here.
Oh yay, we are so superior…..
But we know we need the government to do everything for us…..
The great news is that your dependence wil make the apacolypse nice because you will all die first, then we can rebuild without the mutant, dependence gene so prevalent.

“We have to many problems in this country to be making petty Sarah jokes.”
First of all, you meant “too many”… but, I guess I’m just being a liberal east-coast educated elite right now.
But… damn, if we can’t joke about Sarah Palin, what CAN we joke about??!

WAIT…………..the Electoral College has not yet met. Lawsuits on whether the winner of the election is a legitimate contender for the crown is yet to be decided. Who knows, Biden with his 1% electability in the primary might still become CIC.
As far as Gov. Palin is concerned, “You betcha” the liberals are concerned. She is exactly what the intention of the formulation of government is all about…….”of the people, for the people”……. and according to Obama that entails 95% of the working public. The elitist and those of whom think they are elitist and wish to be elitists are frightened to death of Gov. Palin’s capabilities and her “connection” with the voters.

Uh guys, Obama is mulatto NOT African-American… GET IT RIGHT!!! There STILL hasn’t been an African American President, I hate to burst your bubble!

Wow. “First female Vice Presidential candidate”?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geraldine_Ferraro
It really shouldn’t be surprising to me that this idiot would never have heard of Geraldine Ferraro, who ran with Mondale in 1984.

hmn what is wrong with you?
I am bi-racial (1 African parent and 1 white parent, exactly the same as Obama). Hate to burst YOUR bubble but we haven’t used the term “Mulatto” in a long time. Hmmm…just a guess, you’re NOT “mulatto” right.

Why are conservatives complaining about US being too hard on Palin when all of this information is coming straight from their own party? Gosh the double standard and the denial. I could care less about Palin. I hope she has a good life and her daughter and her children will be successful. The only thing I worry about is why everyone seems to think she is so qualified for everything. Governing Alaska is not the same as governing the U.S.
I mean clearly, everyone can see how disconnected she is from not only the mainland, but the world as well. She loves Alaska. Let her go back home in peace. I think the McCain campaign was wrong with advising McCain to take her own. I feel so many people just used him.
Joe the Plumber used him and now he has a record deal and is going to campaign to be an Ohio congressman in 2010 or 2011.
Palin got free clothes and free stuff out of the deal.
What did McCain get?
The poor old guy is going to spend the rest of his life thinking what he did wrong. And Palin I feel may be so naive that she never saw anything going wrong so may have took this defeat the hardest. She made a fool out of herself. Not because she wanted to, but because she just didn’t know any better.
Was all of this the result of KARMA? Who knows, but God himself. I just hope that they can at least redeem themselves. I do believe they have enough to offer to help Obama out in his administration. I believe McCain will honestly try to do so. I just think his campaign was too much out of his control- Hey, I’m not complaining, but I just feel both Sarah and John have been used to a large extent. Now, since the G.O.P. is in shambles both are going to take the blame. However, since Palin was the attack dog she’s going to be gutted ruthlessly and that makes me a little sad. A lot of pundits foresaw this and even though a lot of you may claim the media is Liberal and Biased, the fact remains that they were all right. The G.O.P. is imploding.

That Barack Obama was elected as our next President shows how far we’ve come as a country; that we even noticed the color of his skin shows how far we have yet to go.

@truthmatters and anybody else anti Obama
It’s people like you that scare the rest of the world. People like you, Truth Matters that shouldn’t be allowed to vote or every procreate. I know your kind of thinking its the same type of thinking that got us stuck with Bush. It’s over. Your Narrow minded thinking is over Mccain has more dirt under his fingers than Obama. Palin has more scandals around her then Juliani got mob ties. Mccain’s first chioce wasn’t even Palin it was Leiberman but the Rupublican party didn’t want the independant on their ticket. Instead they chose the biggest mistake in political history. Besides Nixon and Bush of course.
No man is uncurrupted but amongst the to choices one stood much less than the other.

Think of how things could have been had the RNC only possessed the common sense to have Condi Rice as their candidate.
Polished, intelligent, knowledgable of the world knows that Africa is a continent)and a true conservative who could talk to Katie Couric.
The negativity is not from Obama supporters, it is about Palin.

Samantha, consider the following quotes:
“I’m going to know at the end of the day, putting this in God’s hands, that the right thing for America will be done, the end of the day on November 4th.” – Sarah Palin, Oct 2008
“The outcome for us was not what we wanted, what we anticipated, but you know that’s life and that’s life in politics also.” – Sarah Palin, Nov 5th, 2008
If would seem that, in Sarah’s mind, God’s will is only right when He is on her side.

The real Sarah Palin – right here:
http://www.grizzlybay.org/SarahPalinInfoPage.htm
A web page created by Alaskans about who Sarah Palin really is! I rest my case.

Sarah-
Just promise us you will stay in Alask for the rest of your political career. All the people that live there are crazy anyways, so you are a perfect fit. Oh, and what happened to the $150K worth of fancy clothing this supposed “hockey mom” spent? Is she a diva? Yeah, you betcha.

Oh no honey. You do not represent me. Never say that you represent women across America. If that were true, we would have the biggest population of moronic women in the world. Please never come back down here. Adios.

The real Sarah Palin:
http://www.grizzlybay.org/SarahPalinInfoPage.htm

I am glad America made the samrt choice. We need to move on and work towards the great work to rebuild the American society, economy and infrastructure. We need to forget Palin and remember next time she is in the picture how to handle her as a society. She time and time proved that she is not that smart and being PTA president or Governer of AK does not make you capable to handle the Presidency of great USA. Sara go home and be the Governer and don’t think about being a presindent. Good cloths ot loud mouth don’t make you more qualified.

Stu, Palin’s expertise in energy is questionable. Remember her first TV interview when she said Alaska produces 20% of US energy? Alaska only produces 3%.
When asked about oil exports at a town hall meeting, she replied “Oil of coal, of course, is a fungible commodity and they don’t flag, ya know, the molecules where, where it’s going to, where it’s not, but and in the, in the sense of the Congress today they know our very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So I believe that what Congress is going to do also is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it’s Americans who get stuck holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here; it’s gotta flow into our domestic markets first.”

Regarding WWW’s comment containing some Palin quotes: Please do know that I have despised listening to and watching Palin throughout this election. She acted about as unChristian and unAmerican as I can imagine and it was really frustrating to watch and listen to her. But I am really glad that her final comments about the election were positive because up to that point in time I was really quite angry with her and the Republicans as a whole and knowing that anger is such a toxic and wasteful emotion I am just so happy that it’s all over with and Palin’s parting words weren’t more attacks those she ran against. I feel very sorry for those whose candidate lost and who can’t get over it. I was shocked, saddened and appalled when Bush “won” AGAIN but I never held the anger that some of these losing republicans have. It’s such a waste of an emotion.

As a white, middle-class, educated, American woman I feel I have the right to voice my opinion on Sarah Palin’s qualifications for the second highest position in the country, which is a loud and resounding…NOT. I am so tired of people stating that dems are scared of Palin or jealous because she is an attractive woman. In truth she just did not represent my views in any way, shape, or form. Additionally, I feel that the leaders of our country should maintain a level of dignity and professionalsim that Palin seemed incapable of. Women have fought for equality and respect in this country for too many years to be subjected to a Vice President that winks and giggles like a school girl. Our country has been the subject of ridicule for the past eight years based in part to Bush’s inability to articulate. I have been impressed with President elect Obama from the first time I saw him speak and am proud to support the upcoming administration. Michelle will make a fantastic First Lady. The wave of renewed spirit and hope that Obama has instilled and inspired holds the promise of brighter days in the future.

Speaking as a Canadian, the level of grammar literacy and critical thinking in many of these posts confirm much of what the world thinks of the overall IQ of your citizens. Hopefully, the very erudite candidate you have elected as your future president will set an example. Improving expression and intelligence is not “elitist” — it is a necessary element of a healthy democracy.

Michelle as first lady will never match the class that Laura Bush has shown.

rosewood
Obama thinks there were 57 States and Joe Biden thought FDR was on TV in 1929 after the stock market crash.

I don’t think she has good ideas about how to govern America but i do agree that people fear Palin because she has so much going for her. I admire her moxy and I do think attacking her is not exactly in line with the potential power that our country may have now that Obama will be our President. Change your ways ..haters. Use intelligence and think things completely through before you come to a decision. I would not vote for her because her of opinions but I could never hate Palin, there’s a lot to admire and like about her.

It is stunning to read how Obama fans smear and trash Sarah Palin. Certainly not the Christian way. I believe the prez-elect himself would be embarrassed to hear what you say when you are on the winning side. Imagine if you lost —I suppose you’d be blowing up buildings and bombing cars. Thank heavens he won, even though he still thinks there are 57 states and Iran is a tiny country.

Wow; that was a cold chill from the north. The 15 minutes of shame are over… I hope anyway

Patricia,
Take a look at the above comments. Look at mine. You will see factual info on Sarah Palin. No trashing required. She already IS.
The “Christian Way” – does that mean ‘whip out a bible and beat someone over the head with it’ after they provide you with FACTUAL information?
LOL!

Gov. Palin is indicative to many of the problems in the Republican Party, self interested, selfish and ignorant real and factual information about most anything.
It is interesting that at the McCain concession speech in Arizona when he mention President Elect Obama by name the crowd booed, not once but three or four times. While Senator McCain chastised the crowd for doing so Gov. Palin smiled as if she were proud of a child who recited the A,B,C’s correctly. She and many of the extreme “Christian” Right need to remember as Senator McCain said we are all Americans and we come together for our common good. The kind of hate that the extreme right is spewing only serves to divide and weaken; “A house divided cannot stand,” should be ringing loudly in their ears. That is if they bothered to learn their history and what the purpose of this nation is as established in the 18th century.
The extreme right and Gov. Palin need to take a que from the crowd at Grant PArk when President Elect Obama mentioned Senator McCain by name they cheered him as an AMerican hero, patriot and his service. It is an interesting dichotomy of thought. One of commonality and one of venom and hatred.

There are 57 “states”. Our territories are often refered to as states because in the true definition of the word, they are. Just a different kind of state which we call “territories.” Unerstand? And FDR and Biden. Well FDR did talk about the stock market crash on television. Most people just didn’t have TV’s yet. He was wrong about the date, but that’s it. It’s not like he forgot Africa is a continent.

Here’s a question for the libs: If you guys are so smart, why can’t you keep two consecutive libs in office? Carter – one disasterous term (and we are still suffering the economic impacts). Lost re-election in a landslide. LANDSLIDE. Clinton – 2 terms, but his VP award winning “I know everything about Global Warming” Gore couldn’t get elected. ???
At least we can have two republicans in a row. Let’s gear up for the next six months when Biden’s forewarning comes to pass. Wonder what kind of terrorist attack we’ll have this time – or how many innocent people will have to die. Killing innocent babies isn’t enough for the libs – they want to kill off the elderly, terminally ill, and will risk their own citizens to domestic and foreign terrorists.

Seriously. We have a new president, and his name is President-Elect Obama. If you REALLY love your country, and you want it to prosper, just support him as you should. Stop with the racial comments also. They make me want to be a democrat.

Do all of you Palin haters know that Sarah entered this race with an eighty percent approval rating in Alaska and that she’s going back with still a greater than sixty percent approval rating despite being raked over the coals by all the major media networks? I wouldn’t be so dismissive of somebody with that kind of support from her constituency. How many other governors do you know that have those kind of ratings. There’s a reason for it.
She had all of one month to prepare for this race. Obama had two years. She’s going to be a very formidable candidate in the future, and she will become even stronger should the media decide to be more equitable in its coverage.
God bless you Sarah. You have stood strong in face of unadulterated hatred.

Such a banal and facile diatribe, Maggie.
And trying to use the ‘terrorist” card, how very sad. As we can all recall, 9/11 happened under BUSH’S WATCH. But you’ll always try to blame the left.
The USA has acted like a bully against the rest of the world under Bush’s administration.
Paranoid people in the midwest and Alaska (some of whom don’t realize that Africa is a continent) who only see danger in others, not in themselves.
You need to get out of the USA on a vacation. Go to Africa, maybe. Some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. But those right wing crazies have it in their head (because of the extreme right brainwashing machine) that places like Africa are full of “terrorists”.
Fearmongering – the administration that used that card up. People don’t want to live in fear anymore.
Get a life.

God bless Sarah Palin? And all the dead animals she and her family killed in cold blooded trophy hunting crusades, in hers, her parent’s house, and in her office too…?
:0

Tiny Tim.

Palin believes that dinosaurs walked the Earth 4,000 years ago.
Carbon dating, fossils and other evidence totally destroys this completely irrational and uneducated, religion based nonsensical belief system.

Sarah Palin – the next Preident…? lol
Actually, it’s Obama who’s going to be the next President!

ready? maybe not. Star Power and the right resume? Absolutely… Im a moderate, Marine veteran and 6th generation rancher and I will support her because she separates her views from policy and that is proven. Polish the delivery, get experience on foreign policy and Im with you!! PS. she has more experience period than Obama and we elected him who I will support as my President on most issues. Pull together folks, quit gloating or you will have a long 2012

Joe,
Sarah made a positive impression on a lot of Americans. In fact, she was a positive impact on McCain’s campaign. He was behind by six to eight percentage points when he announced Palin as his vice presidential candidate. He immediately surged into the lead, and he held that lead until Shearson declared bankruptcy and the economy tanked.
McCain didn’t lose this election because of Sarah Palin. She energized it. He lost because of the public’s attitude towards George W and the War and the state of the economy which was unfairly blamed on the current administration.
I don’t agree with many of her views, and you might not like it personally, but Palin’s schtick plays very well to the masses. You should have seen that by now. Heck, just read the comments here, and you should realize how many people were positively impressed by her.
A more prepared Palin will be a very strong political force in her own right.

Palin boosted McCain’s election briefly, when she initially flashed her insincere smile, playing the “beauty pageant queen” cum “hockey mom from Alaska” card.
The moment she opened her mouth McCain’s campaign began to derail.

Keep drinking your kool-ade rosewood! I’m sure you can’t wait for those gov’t checks to start rolling in.

the obama supporter’s aren the one still complaining? HAHAHA that is probably the stupidest thing anyone could have said considering McCain/Palin suppoter’s BOOED at the words OBama when McCain was giving his speak (which was very good). Sore loser? Yup. And what did those thousands of people in Chicago do when Obama mentioned McCain…they clapped. So shut the hell up, move on.

Yeah bryan, telling someone you disagree with to “shut the hell up” is very popular among the left. You want our guns, our hard earned money, and yes…… you want to take away our freedom of speach!

James–while she did energize the base of the party, she was the main reason they lost. Her “schtick” only played well with the base. She totally turned off independants and polarized democrats with the tone of her messages and accusations.
You are right, McCain did lose because of Bush and economy. His inability to make good strong choices in both instances was magnified by his lack of judgment by picking Palin.
The polls were in Obama’s favor AFTER the dem’s convention! All he had to do was pick a solid VP, and not go unconventional, and the numbers would have evened up. This was OBVIOUS once America saw Palin talking instead of reading a red meat republican speech (which she is AWESOME doing). Her inability to communicate an educated view of the issues was astonishing. It put the GOP in a no win situation….UNLESS they went negative and tried to rip Obama’s character apart. The message flip flopped daily, and the poll numbers never really came back to them.
What did come back to them in the end, was the realization that the choice of Sarah Palin cost them the election. The damage they incurred was much higher than the positive feelings she gave the base. She was certainly a giant figure among those who loved her small town act. But that group of supporters is the political minority in America. That group was going to show up and vote republican no matter what. She drove away the potential cross-over voters that is needed in a National election.
Top reason they lost = Palin
Person responsible = McCain

haha am i MAKING you? no. i am saying you should because you are coming off like a baby. but hey, you are FREE to act like a baby all you want. secondly, there is nothing to disagree with you about. in that post i was referencing someone’s post saying the Obama supporter’s were being bad winners or whatever. But that simply was not the case. The FACT, not opinion, was on EVERY channel last night when the McCain crowd booed and the Obama crowd clapped when their respective candidates mentioned the other.

Sorry, I meant to address my reply to Eric

speach?

rosewood, I have been around, to africa and your small little country. By the way, what’s our politics any of your british business anyway! You make claims based on hearsay and rumor. Like I said before the left is never held accountable for it’s lies. Why don’t you ever mention all the screw ups from biden… oops, I’m sorry, that’s off limits.

You call me ignorant, Eric?
Try this on for size:
The reason Alaskans shoot wolves is because they’re reducing the moose population.
Sarah Palin shoots BOTH.
You just slipped up on your own banana skin.

I am co curious about the comming election in 2012. I am a teacher, married to a Legalized Mexican, I am Bi-Ligual, and have 3 children. I have lived in Both PA, and TX, and am currently in the Army Reserve. I used to be a small buisness owner, and worked in the Hospitality Industry for over 20 years. My salary is under $50K, and I will run in 2012 for President as the “NEW” Joe the average guy. I may not be Ross Perot, but If given “some” help, I could crack the 20% like he did….oh by the way I am conservative, but I KNOW what the little guy is, for I am the little guy.
VOTE “LEH in 2012″

Big Cheif – you really make this easy, but we’ll start with Wendy:
You too thought Africa was a country? You too didn’t know how was part of NAFTA? Be honest, she was not prepared in any way to be VP for a guy who was probably going to have a lot of health problems. Give her some years, and maybe that can change. But please stop pretending Obama is going to ruin America. If you haven’t noticed, Bush/Cheney already did that.
Back to Big Chief – What do the politics of the USA have to do with Britain?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Not only is Britain our closet ally (something Bush threatened), but the USA policies impact the ENTIRE world. If you can’t see that, you are truly blind. With great power comes great responsibility, and considering the power the USA has in the world, we have a massive responsibility to the world.

Matt,
Palin was NOT the reason McCain lost this election, the economy and the war were. After the Republican Convention, he was ahead in the polls until the market crashed because of Sarah Palin.
And all you people that say Sarah doesn’t know this or believes that. Have you heard HER say those things? Where are you getting your information? Do you believe all the crap gossip you hear?
You know, I heard somebody (I forget who) say that Obama was a rampant racist because he attended Reverend Wright’s church. Are you going to believe that gossip too? Or do you just believe gossip you hear when it concerns somebody you don’t like?
I though that Palin did very well in her vice presidential nomination speech. She also did extremely well in the vice presidential debate against Joe Biden. So is our new vice president elect such an imbecile that he couldn’t even beat such a complete buffoon like you want to portray Palin as being in a straight up debate? Boy, that makes me feel so much better about our new administration coming in.

Why am I not surprised by the contrast between Palin’s classy remarks on Obama and Obama’s supporters classless and ignorant response to Palin? Why not imitate Obama’s own classiness? And why not show a little respect for a fellow citizen and human being?
Palin doesn’t know Africa is a continent? Hey, did you know that “gullible” isn’t in the dictionary? Do you *honestly* believe this?
Palin doesn’t know that Canada is in NAFTA? Hello, she actually negotiated a treaty with Canada.
Palin doesn’t know energy? Hello – she was an oil and natural gas comissioner.
Next you’re going to be telling me that she was a member of a fringe separatist party, charged rape victims for rape kits, banned books, and tried to pass of her daughter’s child as her own.
Oh wait, you already tried that, didn’t you? And it never bothered you that you didn’t have any evidence for these claims, and it probably still doesn’t bother you that each and every one of these claims has been completely refuted. Heck, the Boston Globe even ran the rape kit story after it had been refuted.
Why is respect for other human beings beyond you? Why, if you admire Obama so much, are you so unwilling to imitate his own behavior? If you can’t be bothered to treat other human being’s with respect, why should anyone else bother with you?

Oh come on Sarah, why stop the attacks now? You are so good at it and clearly wired for it!
Sometimes, people just don’t how they themselves are wired. The real America needs you Sarah so please don’t stop fighting until we’ve drilled for every last drop and teach America the values that will now be so sorely compromised as a result of this election.

“Gold digger” doesn’t even BEGIN to cover it.
Sarah-Mae and her husband Jethro are the worse kind of opportunistic profiteers that can be found in any domain, exactly the same kind of leeches as those wall street execs who cashed in and ran.
She saw her role as just going through the motions and reaping the rewards from anybody who was stupid enough to pay attention to her, never mind take her seriously. She was riding the wave. She was waiting to become a “phenomenon”. She’d eat it all up like a black hole and ask for more. She has only one strength : the humongous ego of a Hitler.
As an Alaskan, she’s just a wily, power hungry, self aggrandizing, low-down, despicable ignoramus. In power, she would become a monster.
As for McCain he got what he deserved. Only an idiot would let this particular genie out of its bottle.
And, of course she’ll be baaaack..!

I think it’s just too hilarious that so many people treated Sarah Palin like both a rockstar and a savior to the Republican party. All along I could see it coming from a 100 miles away. She’s a floozy; she is a woman who is trying too hard to draw attention to herself and truly feels she is gifted in some way, shape or form.
She actually convinced herslf and others that she had the knowledge and creditenials to become the vice-president of the United States. It took her 6 years to bounce from 5 different schools with no admission requirements to obtain a bachelor’s degree in Journalism.
To make matters worse, she couldn’t give Katie Couric “1″ supreme court ruling that would classify as a landmark case. Well being a journalism major myself I knew right off the bat that there was one ruling back in 1964 that pertained to libel and defamation. It was New York Times v Sullivan. A case that established precident regarding slander and libel in the U.S. Anyone who declares journalism as their major would be tested about this landmark case at least 3 times before graduation.
To make matters pathetic, last week Mrs. Palin had the audacity to complain that the media was violating her 1st Amendment right by reporting that she is engaging is negative reporting of Barack Obama. Huh? What? Are you kidding me? You don’t even have to be a journalism major to know that the 1st Amendment is the one part of the U.S. Constitution that gives both herself and the media the freedom to say whatever they want as long as it’s true.
Now if the media had reported that she was saying that Barack Obama was a member of Al Qaeda and that he helped plan the 911 bombings, then she would have an argument. But here we go again, if she had done her homework during her Journalism law and ethics class, then hypothetically she would clam that the media is slandering her and that she is going to sue them for libel or slander, not for violating her 1st Amendment rights.
Sarah Palin needs to go back to school before she should be given privilege of any title to public office. I think Mitt Romney would have served the Republican party much better during the election.”
Lesson to learn… Don’t always judge you books by their cover. You might be wishing that you had kept your receipt…

anyone who thinks we are attacking Palin, needs to realize we are replying to attackers on your side. the whole africa thing, while hilarious, is just hearsay. fair enough. but the NAFTA thing not so much…just because she has done business with canada doesnt mean she knew they were a part of NAFTA. you can say obama people are still attacking, but again i asked, who was clapping and who was booing last night? that’s right, the McCain/Palin supporters were…the same ones who so ignorantly yell terrorist at rallies when obama comes up.
even the RNC has acknowledge that the Palin VP choice was the wrong move and killed a lot of their campaign. obviously she is very popular within loyalists, but you should know that it is the moderates that need to be convinced. and she did not convince enough, if any. if the RNC can admit that she wasn’t the best choice, i think you can too. this has nothing to do with her personality, she just was not prepared to be a VP.
Gadfly – right back at you! If Palin is so classy and McCain is as well (which his speech certainly was), then why did they boo? Why do we have to still read “Obama the terrorist”? Both sides have their broken links…

yep, I agree.
Michelle could spend 150,000 like Palin, or even one million,
but she’d still look like a gorilla!
hahahahaha!
well maybe if she get’s a head transplant she would get her moneys worth!

Thanks HOUSE GORILLAS for speaking up for me.
lipstick wearing monkey is still a monkey!

yes Howard Dean,
the demos were so afraid of Hillary and then Palin, they couldn’t stand themselves.
the amount of hate on here, and the bashing on the MSM was unbelievable.

Listen, HOUSE GORILLAS ; I have absolutely no doubt who should get a head transplant.
And it’s not Michelle…
Spitfire

And yet M from D, she more than held her own in a straight up debate with our vice president elect. Doesn’t that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Alaska should send down an elk or a seal next time. Either would have more intellectual power and more class than this carnival attraction and her sideshow entourage. Tell me, does it not make your hair stand on end to think that this dimwitted egotist could have been the leader of the nation? She should not so much as lead a PTA meeting, this one.

McCain will never say it, and that is to his credit, but he was not happy with Palin after that first quick surge of hype died down.

Bryan,
I don’t know how much time you spend a day to wash your mouth but your political statements smells like a dead fish!!!! stinks! they must come from garbage disposal I bet!
I am Howard Dean and I approve this message

Dean – i’m sorry to burst your bubble…but Senator > Governor. you do MUCH more as a Senator. The thing is, Obama (nice Osama joke, really smart…not naive at all) was smart enough to realize that even as a Senator who is fairly new, he needed to get an “OG”…haha That came in the form of Biden. And that guy is a good man, like McCain. If something happened to Obama, then at least we had Biden who can be trusted to have the ability to run a country. McCain, who isnt a bad choice in and of himself, got pressured into Palin (that’s right, he didn’t want her) and 80% of the people can’t imagine her running the country if something happened to McCain. And yes, that should be considered when deciding who to run with.
And please read those articles (you can read the same stories on Fox News if it makes you feel better) and you’ll see how many problems there was in the McCain/Palin campaign. She wanted to give a speech for crying out loud!!!! She sometimes thought she was running for President, and that hurt her, and her campaign, a lot.

Did you see Obama’s debate method?
It’s called change, hope, and dream from an opportunist:”vote for me please, I will give you a fat check when the election is over,low your tax for a while before I raise them again in the future….” Hahaa! I don’t buy what that guy is selling!

BAHAHAHAHA…wow dean, wow. Can you see the future? Can you time travel? Are you Hiro from Heroes?!?! No? Oh, so what you just said is actually just a load of BS (again)…

Sarah is super ambitious and super religious. She’ll be back.

I have been a long-time Democrat including my whole family until Obama and his cheap thug army was manufactured by DNC to kick Hillary out of the race. I know all dirty tricks that DNC have done. If you want a real facts, read and research some more don’t just talk sh**t like one of Obama’s paid bloggers!
Lipstick wearing monkey is still a monkey, a wolf in sheep’s clothing is still a wolf!

Too weird. I see all these people who are ‘proud Palin supporters.’ I’m guessing y’all have no problems with a world leader who doesn’t even know what all the continents are, even though she claims to be able to see Russia from her back yard. Yeah, that sure qualifies as ‘foreign policy experience.’
I would have a hard time being ‘proud’ of a diva who managed to rack up nearly $200 grand on CLOTHES AND JEWELRY for a 5 week period… even asking staffers to pony up their credit cards to help underwrite the shopping spree. Just imagine someone like that in charge of the economy. Then again, she’s a Republican, and that no longer means ‘fiscal conservatism’ as it once did. Now it means piling staggering debt off onto the next generation, in some lame Ponzi scheme writ large across the economic landscape. I love listening to Republicans dish about ‘tax-and-spend Democrats.’ Well, at least Dems have a plan for where the money they want to spend will come from… Republicans seem to feel that endless tax relief for the wealthy goes hand in hand with record spending that would make a liberal blush. Drunken sailors have a better grasp of money management. Of course, by the time the nation finally gets tired of the antics, a Dem will come back into office, and THEY can get pilloried for doing what must be done: raise taxes to pay for the Republican’s fiscal insanity. And nobody learns a thing.
Isn’t politics FUN?

Your 15 minutes are up!

Bryan, Did you say it from your own experience? please put it back into your mouth what you just spitting out. It smells like BO’s waste stinks! Ha ha ha!!!
I am Howard Dean and I approve this message!!!! haha ha LOL

To all of you with the negative comments for the other side, take heed to this warning:
1. The time for villianizing anyone who presents another perspective is over.
2. The day for cognitive dissonance is dead.
3. Keep up with the facts, like Eric, so that you can speak with intelligence when you say anything about things like this because the day of being ignorant AND yet vocal is dead.
4. Realize that it is now time to start building the world that you want and stop hoping that someone is gonna come save you from all your troubles (most of which you are responsible for)

Dean – what? i don’t even understand what you are trying to say there.

Hey, wanna talk some moose meat? Maybe next time when she shows up she’ll have a bigger sense of the importance to be more than an average mom, show intellect and strength beyond the small-town persona. Until next time, darlin’ keep it safe.

@force majeure
McCain is to old to build, Palin is just dumb to be in office, I don’t know how she got governor, probably from her husbands connections

Not a bad person….Just dumb.

This is direct evidence of who Sarah Palin really is, from Anne Kilkenny, a resident of Wasilla who has attended most of the town hall meetings that Sarah Palin has hosted in Wasilla over the years.
It makes for an interesting read.
———————————–
Dear friends,
So many people have asked me about what I know about Sarah Palin in the
last 2 days that I decided to write something up . . .
Basically, Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton have only 2 things in
common: their gender and their good looks. :)
You have my permission to forward this to your friends/email contacts
with my name and email address attached, but please do not post it on
any websites, as there are too many kooks out there . . .
Thanks,
Anne
ABOUT SARAH PALIN
I am a resident of Wasilla, Alaska. I have known Sarah since 1992.
Everyone here knows Sarah, so it is nothing special to say we are on a
first-name basis. Our children have attended the same schools. Her
father was my child’s favorite substitute teacher. I also am on a
first name basis with her parents and mother-in-law. I attended more
City Council meetings during her administration than about 99% of the
residents of the city.
She is enormously popular; in every way she’s like the most popular girl
in middle school. Even men who think she is a poor choice and won’t
vote for her can’t quit smiling when talking about her because she is a
“babe”.
It is astonishing and almost scary how well she can keep a secret. She
kept her most recent pregnancy a secret from her children and parents
for seven months.
She is “pro-life”. She recently gave birth to a Down’s syndrome baby.
There is no cover-up involved, here; Trig is her baby.
She is energetic and hardworking. She regularly worked out at the gym.
She is savvy. She doesn’t take positions; she just “puts things out
there” and if they prove to be popular, then she takes credit.
Her husband works a union job on the North Slope for BP and is a
champion snowmobile racer. Todd Palin’s kind of job is highly
sought-after because of the schedule and high pay. He arranges his work
schedule so he can fish for salmon in Bristol Bay for a month or so in
summer, but by no stretch of the imagination is fishing their
major source of income. Nor has her life-style ever been anything
like that of native Alaskans.
Sarah and her whole family are avid hunters.
She’s smart.
Her experience is as mayor of a city with a population of about 5,000
(at the time), and less than 2 years as governor of a state with about
670,000 residents.
During her mayoral administration most of the actual work of running
this small city was turned over to an administrator. She had been
pushed to hire this administrator by party power-brokers after she had
gotten herself into some trouble over precipitous firings which had
given rise to a recall campaign.
Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as a “fiscal conservative”. During her 6
years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over
33%. During those same 6 years the amount of taxes collected by the City
increased by 38%. This was during a period of low inflation
(1996-2002). She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a
regressive sales tax which taxed even food. The tax cuts that she
promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they
benefited residents.
The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration
weren’t enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed
money was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it
with indebtedness of over $22 million. What did Mayor Palin encourage
the voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she said
she supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? or a
new library? No. $1m for a park. $15m-plus for construction of a
multi-use sports complex which she rushed through to build on a piece of
property that the City didn’t even have clear title to, that was still
in litigation 7 yrs later–to the delight of the lawyers involved! The
sports complex itself is a nice addition to the community but a huge
money pit, not the profit-generator she claimed it would be. She also
supported bonds for $5.5m for road projects that could have been done in
5-7 yrs without any borrowing.
While Mayor, City Hall was extensively remodeled and her office
redecorated more than once.
These are small numbers, but Wasilla is a very small city.
As an oil producer, the high price of oil has created a budget surplus
in Alaska. Rather than invest this surplus in technology that will make
us energy independent and increase efficiency, as Governor she proposed
distribution of this surplus to every individual in the state.
In this time of record state revenues and budget surpluses, she
recommended that the state borrow/bond for road projects, even while she
proposed distribution of surplus state revenues: spend today’s surplus,
borrow for needs.
She’s not very tolerant of divergent opinions or open to outside ideas
or compromise. As Mayor, she fought ideas that weren’t generated by her
or her staff. Ideas weren’t evaluated on their merits, but on the basis
of who proposed them.
While Sarah was Mayor of Wasilla she tried to fire our highly respected
City Librarian because the Librarian refused to consider removing from
the library some books that Sarah wanted removed. City residents
rallied to the defense of the City Librarian and against Palin’s attempt
at out-and-out censorship, so Palin backed down and withdrew her
termination letter. People who fought her attempt to oust the Librarian
are on her enemies list to this day.
Sarah complained about the “old boy’s club” when she first ran for
Mayor, so what did she bring Wasilla? A new set of “old boys”. Palin
fired most of the experienced staff she inherited. At the City and as
Governor she hired or elevated new, inexperienced, obscure people,
creating a staff totally dependent on her for their jobs and eternally
grateful and fiercely loyal–loyal to the point of abusing their power
to further her personal agenda, as she has acknowledged happened in the
case of pressuring the State’s top cop (see below).
As Mayor, Sarah fired Wasilla’s Police Chief because he “intimidated”
her, she told the press. As Governor, her recent firing of Alaska’s top
cop has the ring of familiarity about it. He served at her pleasure and
she had every legal right to fire him, but it’s pretty clear that an
important factor in her decision to fire him was because he wouldn’t
fire her sister’s ex-husband, a State Trooper. Under investigation
for abuse of power, she has had to admit that more than 2 dozen contacts
were made between her staff and family to the person that she later
fired, pressuring him to fire her ex-brother-in-law. She tried to
replace the man she fired with a man who she knew had been reprimanded
for sexual harassment; when this caused a public furor, she withdrew her
support.
She has bitten the hand of every person who extended theirs to her in
help. The City Council person who personally escorted her around town
introducing her to voters when she first ran for Wasilla City Council
became one of her first targets when she was later elected Mayor. She
abruptly fired her loyal City Administrator; even people who didn’t like
the guy were stunned by this ruthlessness.
Fear of retribution has kept all of these people from saying anything
publicly about her.
When then-Governor Murkowski was handing out political plums, Sarah got
the best, Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission: one
of the few jobs not in Juneau and one of the best paid. She had no
background in oil & gas issues. Within months of scoring this great job
which paid $122,400/yr, she was complaining in the press about the high
salary. I was told that she hated that job: the commute, the structured
hours, the work. Sarah became aware that a member of this Commission
(who was also the State Chair of the Republican Party)
engaged in unethical behavior on the job. In a gutsy move which some
undoubtedly cautioned her could be political suicide, Sarah solved all
her problems in one fell swoop: got out of the job she hated and
garnered gobs of media attention as the patron saint of ethics and as a
gutsy fighter against the “old boys’ club” when she dramatically quit,
exposing this man’s ethics violations (for which he was fined).
As Mayor, she had her hand stuck out as far as anyone for pork from
Senator Ted Stevens. Lately, she has castigated his pork-barrel
politics and publicly humiliated him. She only opposed the “bridge to
nowhere” after it became clear that it would be unwise not to.
As Governor, she gave the Legislature no direction and budget
guidelines, then made a big grandstand display of line-item vetoing
projects, calling them pork. Public outcry and further legislative
action restored most of these projects–which had been vetoed simply
because she was not aware of their importance–but with the unobservant
she had gained a reputation as “anti-pork”.
She is solidly Republican: no political maverick. The State party
leaders hate her because she has bit them in the back and humiliated
them. Other members of the party object to her self-description as a
fiscal conservative.
Around Wasilla there are people who went to high school with Sarah.
They call her “Sarah Barracuda” because of her unbridled ambition and
predatory ruthlessness. Before she became so powerful, very ugly
stories circulated around town about shenanigans she pulled to be made
point guard on the high school basketball team. When Sarah’s
mother-in-law, a highly respected member of the community and
experienced manager, ran for Mayor, Sarah refused to endorse her.
As Governor, she stepped outside of the box and put together of package
of legislation known as “AGIA” that forced the oil companies to march to
the beat of her drum.
Like most Alaskans, she favors drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge. She has questioned if the loss of sea ice is linked to
global warming. She campaigned “as a private citizen” against a state
initiaitive that would have either a) protected salmon streams from
pollution from mines, or b) tied up in the courts all mining in the
state (depending on who you listen to). She has pushed the State’s
lawsuit against the Dept. of the Interior’s decision to list polar bears
as threatened species.
McCain is the oldest person to ever run for President; Sarah will be a
heartbeat away from being President.
There has to be literally millions of Americans who are more
knowledgeable and experienced than she.
However, there’s a lot of people who have underestimated her and are
regretting it.
CLAIM VS FACT
*”Hockey mom”: true for a few years
*”PTA mom”: true years ago when her first-born was in elementary
school, not since
*”NRA supporter”: absolutely true
*social conservative: mixed. Opposes gay marriage, BUT vetoed a bill
that would have denied benefits to employees in same-sex relationships
(said she did this because it was unconsitutional).
*pro-creationism: mixed. Supports it, BUT did nothing as Governor to
promote it.
*”Pro-life”: mixed. Knowingly gave birth to a Down’s syndrome baby
BUT declined to call a special legislative session on some pro-life
legislation
*”Experienced”: Some high schools have more students than Wasilla has
residents. Many cities have more residents than the state of Alaska.
No legislative experience other than City Council. Little hands-on
supervisory or managerial experience; needed help of a city
administrator to run town of about 5,000.
*political maverick: not at all
*gutsy: absolutely!
*open & transparent: ??? Good at keeping secrets. Not good at
explaining actions.
*has a developed philosophy of public policy: no
*”a Greenie”: no. Turned Wasilla into a wasteland of big box stores
and disconnected parking lots. Is pro-drilling off-shore and in ANWR.
*fiscal conservative: not by my definition!
*pro-infrastructure: No. Promoted a sports complex and park in a city
without a sewage treatment plant or storm drainage system. Built
streets to early 20th century standards.
*pro-tax relief: Lowered taxes for businesses, increased tax burden on
residents
*pro-small government: No. Oversaw greatest expansion of city
government in Wasilla’s history.
*pro-labor/pro-union. No. Just because her husband works union
doesn’t make her pro-labor. I have seen nothing to support any claim
that she is pro-labor/pro-union.
WHY AM I WRITING THIS?
First, I have long believed in the importance of being an informed
voter. I am a voter registrar. For 10 years I put on student voting
programs in the schools. If you google my name (Anne Kilkenny +
Alaska), you will find references to my participation in local
government, education, and PTA/parent organizations.
Secondly, I’ve always operated in the belief that “Bad things happen
when good people stay silent”. Few people know as much as I do because
few have gone to as many City Council meetings.
Third, I am just a housewife. I don’t have a job she can bump me out
of. I don’t belong to any organization that she can hurt. But, I am no
fool; she is immensely popular here, and it is likely that this will
cost me somehow in the future: that’s life.
Fourth, she has hated me since back in 1996, when I was one of the 100
or so people who rallied to support the City Librarian against Sarah’s
attempt at censorship.
Fifth, I looked around and realized that everybody else was afraid to
say anything because they were somehow vulnerable.
CAVEATS
I am not a statistician. I developed the numbers for the increase in
spending & taxation 2 years ago (when Palin was running for Governor)
from information supplied to me by the Finance Director of the City of
Wasilla, and I can’t recall exactly what I adjusted for: did I adjust
for inflation? for population increases? Right now, it is impossible
for a private person to get any info out of City Hall–they are
swamped. So I can’t verify my numbers.
You may have noticed that there are various numbers circulating for the
population of Wasilla, ranging from my “about 5,000″, up to 9,000. The
day Palin’s selection was announced a city official told me that the
current population is about 7,000. The official 2000 census count was
5,460. I have used about 5,000 because Palin was Mayor from 1996 to
2002, and the city was growing rapidly in the mid-90′s.

I agree with the comments that palin was the major reason Mc Cain did not get elected, he should have chosen a Republican ala Biden that knows his way around. i do not know her but she was not an asset. This country is headed to hell in a hand basket from all the pc c–p

As an intelligent, hardworking woman, I was ashamed to have her representing my gender.

hey, i thought mexico was a continent in a country named africa where they filmed March of the Penguins in a desert.

It is over!
Sarah Palin, you are a disgrace to any educated woman in America. Your lies and double standards are as repulsive as you are yourself. I am ashamed that the people in Alaska elected someone so absolutely dumb as you are. Read a few books, get some education, take care of you tired looking children and stay away for good.
You are done and you know it. There is a word we use for people like you; trailer trash. That is what you are.
Alaska is a good place for you. Outcasts and simple minded folks might be impressed with you but they are the minority.
A new time has come and there is no place for you in it.

As for the following:
Posted by Rafael: “Wow, after calling him a “terrorist”, linked to terrorists, etc. she now looks forward to serving him? She’s so fake….”
It is no wonder you voted for Obama. You cannot even comprehend the text of a simple article. Governor Palin did not say “she now looks forward to serving him…”. She was letting him know that as the Governor of an oil-rich state that carries a lot of weight, she will be staying on top of his energy policy-making decisions.
Posted by: LJC | Nov 6, 2008 12:01:21 AM
LOL ok ok AFTER I posted I realized she never said she would be serving him. I APOLOGIZE for the misquote, but not for voting for President Obama. No it’s not because of my bad comprehension of a “simple” article. It was because I thought he was the better candidate. Period. I hope she does keep her word about staying on top of his energy policy-making decisions. That is if she’s good about keeping her word as she is keeping her wardrobe. :) OUCH!!!

Even after they win an election, liberals still can’t stop bashing her. Who’s intimidated?

I just want to be sure that people who don’t already know the facts regarding people like Palin, get to find out so there can be no chance for someone like that coming back in four years.
That’s what this thread is all about, to me anyway. Information is knowledge. That’s how we just got rid of the neocon special interests corporation run, corrupted Republican party. To be a Republican once meant the opposite of what they have now become, which is unrecognizable compared to what they used to stand for!
Just because we have the better side coming back into power, doesn’t mean that we’re all just gonna sit back and relax while the neocons plot and scheme their way back in with their lies, distractions and deceptions.
We got our eye on them at all times now. We have to keep a constant watch for any BS.

Palin = Empty Head
If the Republican party is considering Palin for future duty…they should think again! Still today…she does not know what she doesn’t know!!
….an emabarasmnet for this country that deserves much more and better.

Howard Dean I think the kitchen is getting too hot for you, it’s time to get out…that’s right, if you don’t like it then leave take your racist-to the caucasus!!LOL…and back at you MONKEY!!!!!!!! very uneducated

Okay rosewood…MS KILKENNY GO WRITE A BOOK!!!!!!!
Back to rosewood…if she really wanted ppl to know about this palin chick she shoulda outted her while she was running instead of speaking out now…the future, please that woman needs 12 guides to direct her to her home in AK…she wasn’t even McCain’s choice, just done out of rebellion…Lieberman was his choice…there s/b no fear for anyone re palin, poor thing can’t see the forest behind the trees…

Swissmiss, might I point out to you that the email (that I copied and pasted here) WAS written before the election by Kilkenny, LOL!
I just decided to post it here because it contains some very detailed info on Palin and her character!
Palin WAS outed by Kilkenny :-)

rosewood I’m not a Republican.

Has anyone ever heard of this Kilkenny prior to rosewood’s post? …”before the election”…right rosewood…right. don’t get me wrong…i’m not saying Kilkenny is lying…just too long of a post, that’s all…spread it via email or YOU write a book re Kilkenny’s excerpts.

the Liberal…how do u know who is redneck, r u a spy? can u see us? LOL

If it were too long of a post, the text amount would be limited, so obviously ABC doesn’t care, so why do you?
You can always SCROLL past it (honestly *sigh* petty or what…!)

ALERT* to Rosewood, why don’t you just hire the A.C.L.U. to defend the causes that you both share?

It takes a strong woman to live in Alaska. Where did “Men in Trees” go? That was a good original TV show. OH, it must have been the Hollywood screen writers that dumped that program… Interesting timing! I should have known, based on the celebrity vote.

Mark my words… Palin is done. The Republican party won’t touch her again with a 10 foot pole.

To: “proud_bay_man”, Was that a typo, or are you from San Francisco. Pride is the root of every sin.

Alert,
The ACLU seem like a sound bunch of people.
I have no idea why anyone would suggest that I hire them. The ACLU won’t need to work quite so hard now that the Republicans are in the dumpster ;-)

Does she really expect me to buy that she is proud of Obama’s election–being the first African-American president–when her campaign’s focus was a hateful xenophobic message geared at panicking white “pro-American” “Christians” (sarcasm intended in both cases) by warning them about how much different Obama is? Yeah right, Sarah, y’know ibetcha you sure are ecstatic about America’s newfound diversity (visceral sarcasm intended).

A little fact-checking on this article:
“Palin drives herself to work every day.”
Wrong. She may drive to work every now and then, but she hardly does it “every day,” or at least she hasn’t for the last two years.
If she did, she wouldn’t have been working at home (let’s assume she was “working”) while billing the taxpayers of Alaska for a per diem rate that is supposed to be compensation for overnights *away* from home on government business.
Oh, that Sarah. Now that she doesn’t have McCain’s lawyers to help her, we can expect to see lots more of this sort of thing — that is, if we are interested in reading about it. Me, I’m just looking forward to her languishing into well-deserved obscurity.

“We’ve got them right where we want them, my friends!” – John McCain
Bahahaaa-haa-haa!!!!
Good riddance, also, to Sarah Palin and her ignorance. It is amazing to think we came so close to putting her near the presidency!
Finally, you have to love the republican party! They send sarah out there to speak to “real americans”, to denounce the “elitists” on the left…then they call her a hillbilly when they’re done with her! Who are the real elitists now???

California Time…
I truly believe that in the middle of America, there isn’t so much a ‘heart’ as there is a fear ridden, gun wielding large element of the populace that is resisting change. Living in the past. I see it more as a cancer.
What the paranoid elements of middle America need is Chemotherapy…

Go Sarah!

I wonder will peace be here or in the next world.GOD please help us all

Actually, I see that it was a quote from JGeier. Sorry, Slim.

America go see the movie W!!!!!!!!!!!

Even when evidence hits you people in the face you can’t admit that she is both likeable and smart. Just because someone speaks differently than you do does not mean that they are somehow less smart. The ugly bias/hatred is mind-numbing. You people are worse than any haters I’ve ever come across – you are a disgrace to humanity. I’m ashamed to be the same species as you.

Has she signed a contract with Celebrity Boxing yet?

RW,
Sensible plans?! Like putting Wasilla into debt since she took office? How about denying a rape victim access to an abortion? Or supporting the NRA and killing wolves, moose, caribou, bears etc for entertainment? She’s also a born again christian who believes dinosaurs walked the Earth 4,000 to 6,000 years ago!
Palin rocks…?
Palin on the rocks lol
