Palin Ribbed by Montana Guv for Being No Show

Her 15 minutes are over.

I don’t particularly like Palin (didn’t vote McCain/Palin) but Schweitzer sounds so petty and childish: “”I don’t have any party buying me clothes,” said Schweitzer, referring to the more than $150,000 that the Republican Party shelled out for the Palin family’s wardrobe last year. “My wife buys my clothes at Costco.”
Gov. Schweitzer, everyone by now knows the clothes were only borrowed by Palin. It’s over — act your age. Your comment, Gov. is just stupid. If you were a woman, people would say you were being “catty” or “bit**y”.

She has more class and morals in her little finger then any Democrat around these days! I was a Dem for 56 years. No more. Obama is a thug with the rest of the party the last year. I would vote for Palin in a heart beat.

Well aren’t we special?
Dana Carvey words…
Maybe they can get Tina Fey to stand in.

I see a bigot has changed partys after 56 years.

I don’t understand the fuss over Palin getting a wardrobe paid for. It just tells people that only the wealthy can run for office, because anyone whose family income is in the low $100,000 is not going to have a wardrobe nice enough for the scrutiny candidates undergo. If she hadn’t dressed well, that would be the point of criticism. Surely we are not a nation completely stuck on the inconsequential. We have much bigger problems don’t we?

don’t bash Gov. Brian Schweitzer, he is a very popular governor in a very conservative state, abc has obviously taken some phrases out of context to manufacture more drama about this than there really is

She is out with Billy Graham’s son -after a year and about 4 months of waiting for the perfect photo OP…she is not in western Alaska because she cares- she is doing this for the publicity. I hope the little old people HUG her bigot’ed self

Jeff, while the ones you mentioned have some revolting problems, the ones I mentioned are the tax cheats — which is the statement to which I was referring…..
I guess I should have added Rangel to that list, too.

Those SNL episodes were hilarious. I agree rightbehind. The ones with Paterson were pretty darn funny, too. They’ve got me watching SNL again after years of never turning it on.

Wow, Sunil, you sure give Indians a bad name. How would you like it if an American living in India called they “Krishna freaks” and suggested they secede from that country? That guy would be called an idiot and bigot.

shame

I was born & raised in MT. In one generation, the state must be going nuts with PC brainwashed youth & the wacky left moving into positions of power. 1st, it almost voted in the liar & deceiver Obama. Second, you have idiotic comments from the current governor who wears pants with horse s*#t who still focuses on Palin’s clothes that she no longer has while Obummer thug pushed–using scare tactics–a trillion dollar pork package that may bankrupt the nation, cause high inflation, and further devalue the dollar. Obama & Rhambo and Pelosi & Reid probably want to dictatorial rule a bankrupt country and turn it into a liberal police state with martial law while locking up conservatives, true christians, & traditionalists. But there is real hope: dispensational truth.

I agree Trish. Sunil dreams of a country that is as “open minded” as he is. I suggest he move to Cuba.

I think Palin didn’t come because she heard that there was a helicopter moose shoot going on in Alaska, and didn’t want to miss out!

Maybe she’s busy putting together a website to see if we all want to pay the mortgages of those people who got into loans which they knew could never pay back. Can I vote NO, know!

Fanny, – haha – She can spell, and she does not lie like you and your fellow Liberals either. BTW, are you going to pay YOR taxes this year? Don’t let the leaders of your Party be your guide.
Fanny, i’m not an AMerican, or can you not read. I have watched your country throughout this whole campaign up till now and all I see is very uneducated and ignorant people who think this woman is qualified to be President. Wake up from your dillusion for God’s sake. Your country needs soemone who si intelligent in the Oval Office, not soemone who can’t put together a complete sentence without a Betcha or wink wink. And as for her not being a liar, give your head a shake, She has been caught in numerous lies from day one. From the bridge to nowhere, to her being a mayor in Walissa and having a surplus when she ended having a 20 million dollar deficit. and now to the per diem travel expenses. Wake up woman before your countey destroys itself with idots like the last one you had in there for 8 years. Your Hypocracy is mindboggling.

So Daschle and Gheitner’s tax evasion excuses the same conduct from the Idiot from Iditarod. Same old Nixonian two wrongs make a right argument. Time for working people to take their country back from the Repub. bankers, drug companies, investment brokers, stock cons, ponzi artists, and insurance companies, and Limbaugh Lemmings.

The nasty comments about Sarah Palin are indicative of the general nastiness that is pervasive in the Democratic party to which I belong. The past general election has opened my eyes to the thuggery that is found in the Democratic party which I had so blindly followed in the past. Psssst… THAT WON’T BE HAPPENING ANY MORE.

Maybe if Palin had built the bridge to nowhere, and stood on it, maybe she could see Montana!! And by the way, that bridge did not go “nowwhere”, it connected the mainland Ketcikan to the island where their airport is!!! I had to stand in the rain to wait for a ferry to come and get us after landing!!And then take the ferry for 20 minutes…and return when leaving…it is a necessity, hardly a bridge to nowhere!! They needed that bridge until the barracuda scuttled it…what a waste of a human being.

@john: Well, it’s so glad to see that you are interested in our country. It’s curious that you are so interested that you stoop to personal attacks and baseless facts without backing them up without footnotes of any kind. I’m not really sure why you are so motivated and really don’t care. I wish you could help pay some of the Trillions of dollars that the administration is spending. But seeing that you are not an American citizen please feel free to continue to throw darts at our leaders from the sidelines.

@Lambofgoth: Yes, ABC asked us to come and show that people can post without using foul text and not everyone supports the policies of a person who thinks our country is made up of 57 or maybe 58 states.

I like Palin. Don’t agree with her on many issues but appreciate any woman who can stand up against all the good ‘ol boyz club. And she is certainly more intelligent than Mr. Obama… at least SHE can talk without a teleprompter or having aides feed her responses. Bush could barely speak english… Obama is running a close ummmmmmmmmmmm ummmmmmmmm 2nd.

Schweitzer is a badass. I love my governor. I don’t know that his arguments are petty and small, more to the point he just states how he feels. It’s a Montana thing. You wouldn’t understand.

@rj: I’m on your side.. I was telling John that his baseless facts against Sarah were a waste of time.. I agree with you.. Olberman and Franken are terrible.. In fact, I think John might be Olberman….

It’s a Montanna thing.. It’s so cold – it shrivels up inside and they have a complex.. So, they have to bash women.

Actully, Rush Limbaugh has brought rational debate and opposing views to todays difficult issues. Keith Olberman on the other hand has only brought hate and Fear and loathing. Rush is trying to help fix the proplem were Olberman is trying to gain market share.. that’s the problem with NBC.

Republicans have such short memories, alas. If they so hate Obama, why do they have their clammy hands out to receive funds from the stimulas package? Guess it’s so their constituents whose financial lives are in peril won’t laugh them out of office.
Ms. Palin’s chickens have all come home to roost. Remember that women who were raped when Palin was Mayor of Wasila had to pay $500-$1200 for their own rape kits? A Democrat put forth legislation to correct that, if anyone happens to recall.
And remember how well her “Abstinence Only” policy for teens worked out? Seems that didn’t work so well for her daughter Bristol.
Now the IRS says you can’t really charge the taxpayer for per diem when you’re sleeping in your own bed in your own home. So poor Sarah’s gotta cough up those taxes.
Gosh, the list just goes on and on…

Palin is an imbecile.
Limbaugh is an idiot.

Fannie – But seeing that you are not an American citizen please feel free to continue to throw darts at our leaders from the sidelines
Fannie, I am not throwing darts at your leaders, just Sarah Palin. My opinion of her is just that, an opinion. I may not be American, but what happens in your country does affect mine. We are your biggest trade partner and your biggest supplier of energy and oil. Our resources to your country start with energy, water, steel, lumber and many others. So yes, you could say I have a right to voice my opinion. What happned with GW and his policies affected this country directly. So yes, i’m a little miffed at Georgie Boy. But for even thinking of Sarah Palin as someone who is qualified to be your President is beyond understanding. I do my research and trust me, there is something about Sarah Paling that would make GW look like a Choir Boy. She would be the downfall of your country. But the choosing of your next leader is totally your responsiblity, not mine or any other country. Just don’t think we would fall over her if she did become your President. We would probably close our borders to her instead. I love America, have many many friends thoughout your great country and I fear for it because of what I see.Too much division and hate will bring nothing but failure to America. I am praying and hoping that this does not happen. But for Sarah Palin being qualidied to be your President. If she is qualified, then so are you and millions of others in your country who lack the intelligence, empathy and sense of equality you would need to run your country.These qualities, Sarah Palin does not have, not by a long shot.

Anybody who claims that Palin’s per diem tax “problem” is similar to Geithner is a kool aid drinking Obama drone.
Do some research before running your mouth … maybe this country would be better off.
The lack of knowledge on the part of most Americans is shocking and they get all of their info from ABC, CBS etc. etc.
Sheeple and that is how Obama likes it

whine whine whine not to long ago you guys where burying Palin alive now you guys are burying the black DUDE like i read in a newspaper it took a wall street melt down and the Iraq war for the AMERICAN slods to vote for a lying BROTTHHER. BUT AT THE TIME WHEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE COULD NOT SEE FURTHER THAN THIER NOSE WHAT DID THEY DO? “”VOTED FOR A BLACK DUDE”"!!!

Todd dear, again a Repub with faulty memory. The facts show why Obama has no choice but to try and save America after the Bush bankrupted the Nation. The following information came from Bush’s own site: WhiteHouse.gov. Check it out just to jog your sh**ty memory.
Under the Buskin Policy, America hit a 50-Year Record on Sept. 22. Under his non-existent stewardship, the National Debt hit $10 Trillion on Sept. 30, 2008.
The gross national debt compared to GDP (how rich we are) reached its lowest level since 1931 as Reagan took office in 1981. It skyrocketed for 12 years through Bush senior. Clinton reversed it at a peak of 67%. Bush junior crossed that line on Sept. 22 and hit 69% on Sept 30. That’s the highest it’s been since 1955.
Bush did three things to skyrocket the debt from $5.7 trillion to $10 trillion:
1. He lowered taxes on the rich (by far the biggest item).
2. He invaded Iraq instead of winning in Afghan-Pakistan (another $600 B).
3. He deregulated Wall Street speculators. That bailout has now “invested” $1 Trillion.
Bush left us $10 Trillion in debt. What choice does Obama have? His $1 Trillion is mere cat food, and just a start, sad to say!

Barbara,
Unfortunately Mr. Todd probably won’t read that, because like a republican, he will just make whatever point it is he has to make then runaway, proud of himself for sticking up for his “side” whether he is right or wrong. He cares not for the facts that you post, which should be proof enough, only what the radio and fox news has to say. So he will go to bed tonight, thinking of himself as the great republican defender, when all he is, is a blind squirrel, who will always struggle to get his nut, because 1. He can’t find it
2. He is really the one who needs it handed out to him-

I say good for Brian for calling her out on that. He is a good guy who happens to understand that the little people are greatly affected by frivolous spending. Maybe the rest of the government should learn the difference between want and need.

Wow! Another Sarah story to feed the
liberal piranhas. She seems to gin up
more anger as a player-loser than any
Democrat “winner” in the last election.
There is more dirt under Pelosi’s
fingernails than in the entire Palin
mud-room. It just doesn’t interest
the main-stream press.

Todd: As you have also lowered yourself to personal insults and name calling I can no longer waste time with you.. And After I was polite with you. And it’s funny I did respond to her, which makes you… wrong.

Rockit- This weekend, Gov Palin is traveling to poor villages in Western Alaska with Franklin Graham of Samaritan’s Purse. They are deliverying food stocks to hard hit areas where people are genuinely hungry. Isn’t this a little more important than the Governor’s Conference?
Yes, after 6 weeks of ignoring what has been happening in her own state and from the pressure of outside media she finally does soemthing about it. She was too busy traveling around the country posing for photo- ops when her own citizens and many from outside her state raised food drives and money to have that food delievered to those people. Ypu need to get your facts straight Rockit, because it took her long enough to get off her behind instead of doing soemthing right off. These people have been crying and begging for help for over a month. Where was your precious Palin when thsi was happening?

“The past general election has opened my eyes to the thuggery that is found in the Democratic party which I had so blindly followed in the past. Psssst… THAT WON’T BE HAPPENING ANY MORE.
Posted by: Democrat4Palin | Feb 20, 2009 10:49:19 PM
We all know it didn’t happen in THE FIRST PLACE!

Palin is too Busy trying to Find a way to get out of her Tax mess

Trajan- A Bush financial “catastrophe” precludes
ANY responsibility for ANY Obama scheme
to be scrutinized? Get real, you gov-
dependents who swept him into office.
When the manure hits the fan, as you
realize that your guy can’t deliver,
stay where you live, and scream at
your own party’s failures. Stay out of
decent neighborhoods.
You moron. Since when is your neighborhood a decent neighborhood. They have you living in it, How bad can you get. Grow up moron. No matter how you scream and try to disguise the truth, your idiotic party is responsible for this mess. The balme lies directly at your feet. And as for your neighborhood, you won’t have a neighborhood left if things keep falling the way it is. You’ll be in the soup lines with everyone else. Htpocracy is the name of most republicans. get a life

One more note before I call it a night. To all republicans. Obama is your President. You can’t change that fact for at least 4 years, get use it it. No matter what you scream , lie about or try to distort. its a fact. But you better all pray and hope what he does helps, because if it doesn’t, you won’t have much of anything if he doesn’t. And then the rest of the world will be laughing so hard at America for being a bunch of idiots, it won’t be funny. They are laughing at you now but most of you are way too ignorant to know any better.

“I love Brian Schweitzer. What a hero.”
Get real people. Calling hime a hero for poking fun at someone is an innsult to everyone who really is a hero. I was in the marines and saw true heroism in those around me. Don’t confuse heroism with politics.

No, he is missing the conference because she is delivering packages to children with Franklin Graham in rural Alaska. She owes the rest of the country nothing. You didn’t vote for so shut up and let her do her job back home. When the rest of the country is doing as well as the as Alaska is, then maybe you can say what a bad job she is doing, until then leave us be.

One more note before I call it a night. To all republicans. Obama is your President. You can’t change that fact for at least 4 years, get use it it. No matter what you scream , lie about or try to distort. its a fact. But you better all pray and hope what he does helps, because if it doesn’t, you won’t have much of anything if he doesn’t.

—————
As so many delusional democrats loved to say about Bush all the time, Obama is not my president.

Ha, you dumb a##es Sarah Palin has 9 billion dollars in a savings account.
How is your dump a## governors doing?

Well, one of cnn’s top stories is that Socks ” the Clinton’s cat” dies. What we consider news these days used to be crap that was put in the tabloids.

Ok now that you 2 have cooled lets be honest. Perception is what we are talking about and none of us really know Palin or Obama. But the decisions we make as an informed society are largely based on the media, printed or otherwise. So I would say both parties sound silly because actions speak louder than words and Obama hasn’t had too many actions as president to make a fair assemsent yet. But what little I have seen, heard or read of Palin, she doesnt come across as someone who can use the media to make herself look intelligent, which she may well be. The real concern here is as politicians get better at working the media, will we get better at differentiating between the good and bad? I hope so, otherwise, we’re doomed.

You hack partisan dems are the most hateful people on the planet. You have no clue what conservatives really stand for, you just keep using the old rehashed junk about bigots, racists, etc. It is really overused, old and worn out and quite frankly makes you look completely ignorant. Sarah can turn down an appearance if she wants to. It’s a free country and from the way this Montana governor is talking, it was the right thing to do. He probably stinks with his horsesh** on his pants anyway. Moron.

valh1 uses pure hate speech to decry the Dems as the most hateful people. LMAO -

Take a deep breath DEMOCRATS and LIBERALS and just let go of the hate. and tell your President to stop making excuses and start fixing the economy which he said he’s the most qualified person to fix it. “People are tired of hearing, they want to see”

It’s clear who voted for Bush/McCain politics keep on writing these little posts. I’ll recognize you people on the street when you start speaking.

“Take a deep breath DEMOCRATS and LIBERALS and just let go of the hate. ”
Oh Yes, because Limbaugh, your fearless leader and runner-up Hannity are so cool and classy…

I am so sick and tired of hearing about Palin and her kids. who cares? enough is enough. I don’t care who supports her, she is pathetic.

The ADN’s Alaska Ear column also noted the extensive renovations going on at the governor’s mansion just before the Christmas open house last December:
When the Palins moved in there were all of a sudden lots of leaks and stuff cause a real family was living there.
The open house has been a tradition for 93 years, with two years off during World War II, said Erica Fagerstrom, the residence manager.
She was happy the home was in shape for the thousands of guests. The mansion has undergone extensive plumbing renovations.
“This place was a construction zone three weeks ago,” she said.
In October 2007, the Juneau Empire ran a photo story on the renovation work:
Workers are replacing the 95-year-old building’s antiquated plumbing system and are generating lots of dust as they remove old pipes. The first phase of construction is scheduled to be completed in December. The second phase will be done next year.
So, there you have it, folks. Case closed.

nobody cares about what matters anymore…

In response to your “know-it-all” comment, I am a registered Democrat who has always voted Democrat until the past general election. I voted a straight Republican ticket in Florida in response to the nasty politics of the Democratic party. George Bush s@cked, in my opinion, and so does the current batch of Democratic leaders, including Obama.

Sarah Palin = an effective governor with executive experience. Obama = a Democratic party hack with no executive experience allowing his fellow Democrats to feed and gorge themselves at the federal trough… little piggies gone wild. Oink!

Palin did come because she wouldn’t be the “STAR”. Self-serving, morally twisted, dumb hillbilly.

The progressive taliban here continues to demonstrate that the intolerant people of hate in our nation are the ones who voted for Zero.

Not to ruin all the fun for liberals who hate and want to bash Governor Palin, but it turns out that she chose to go with Franklin Graham to make a food drop in rural Alaska, where people don’t have access to food, for whatever reasons.
Which is a whole lot more than (the NOTHING) Obama did for all the people who were freezing in the dark following the Kentucky ice storms. And a whole lot more important than getting face-time in front of cameras like the liberal Governor Schweitzer.
Once again, we see that the alleged progressives in govt. are self absorbed and totally about themself. Meanwhile, Palin and Christians are out taking real physical actions to help people who are in need. And, in contrast showing the mean spirtitedness of the democrats who post on this site.

You liberals have done nothing but show how vile and hateful and classless you are. Palin couldn’t make the conference because she’s with Rev. Franklin Graham (Billy Graham’s son) delivering relief supplies to isolated Alaskan villages.
http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=9882437
Graham’s organization is delivering 44,000 lbs of groceries to two villages in Alaska and Palin is helping out.
Palin goes out of her way to deliver relief supplies in the middle of an Alaskan winter. 0bama hid out at his mansion in Chicago last weekend and then went to an exclusive restaurant. Now, who has more class?

If you want the REAL truth about Alaska and Guv Palin go here. These are REAL Alaskans, not like some of the doofuss Palin groupies on this board. http://www.themudflats.net/

Schweitzer’s performance reinforces the dictionary definition on a donkey as an ass…

Sorry, that should be “erred.”

Bickering, bickering, rehashing old sh!* will work out well for all of us. It is very counter-productive. A better use of intelligence and brain cells would involve using our collective knowledge to figure a way out of our current situation. This would benefit everyone. We have so many talented people here, and we need to put these talents together and work together to improve our lives. We’ve been in bad situations in the past where things have looked really bleak, but we found ways to get back on our feet. I didn’t live through the Great Depression, but my grandparents did, and based on their description of the economy then, things are just beginning to get bad and probably will get worse before the economy recovers. The politicians, financial plutocrats, and the media have pitted one American against another for their own selfish gain. The situation is tense, and they know it and exploit it to their advantage. Personally, I’m sick of having Americans square off against each other and go off on rants during which they will say anything about anybody, just to “prove” their point. We all have free-will when it comes to making choices, and the question is: will be work together to save and preserve this country we all so dearly love, or will we let petty partisan differences splinter the country, thereby, making Osama bin Laden’s words come true when he said the next attack will not be one involving airplanes, but will be one involving financial terrorism? The results of a report released this month stated that the greatest threat to America at this time is not terrorism, it’s financial collapse. It’s up to us to choose. United we stand, or Divided we fall?

What planet is the Governor of Montana and my liberal friends living on? Governor Palin and the Lt. Governor can’t make the conference because of their humanitarian mission with Rev. Graham to some of the isolated villages in Alaska.
http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=9882437
What comes first: wonky parties or feeding freezing people? This quote and thread is just one example of how you guys are so biased that you can’t think clearly.
Let the anger go. Be open minded. You’ll feel better and you’ll begin to be smarter.
PS. Please spare me your so predictable ad hominem remarks about the mission being a publicity stunt, etc. I wouldn’t get in that dinky plane to fly around the arctic. These people have courage.

I really like Brian Schweitzer; he’s had a broad range of life experience. And he knows an awful lot about energy. and working with the GOP. He is one to watch in years to come. His demeanor kind of reminds me of a mix of Maurice and Halling from Nothern Exposure, with a sprinkling of Randy Quaid. I wish him continued success. He seems like a nice guy, so he ribbed Palin in a playful, respectful way. Wonder why she is a no-show? I thought she went to the Alfalfa Dinner just so she could meet with Obama. Now she has the opportunity to be at a black tie dinner with him and she backs down. I guess it would look bad when many of the outlying communities in the state she governs have been cold and starving for a long time. Interesting that shee would be addressing it more vocally now that the news media has caught wind of it.

The reason folks were upset with Palin’s clothes during the campaign is because it was an ILLEGAL use of campaign funds. That is why the campaign said she borrowed them, and then went to collect them later.
I personally believe Palin chose not to attend the Governor’s meeting was because she knew it would be highly publicized, especially since she is supposed to be an “expert” on energy. She would have to actually answer questions that had not been approved or researched ahead of time. Palin is not capable of doing that.

Brian Schweitzer has more brains, energy understanding and genuine folksy-ness in his little finger than Sara Palin can ever hope to have in her whole lifetime.
Perhaps Palin isn’t willing to display her inferiority when it comes to a grasp on the various technologies that compromise all of our energy sources.

Anna, yes, it was an illegal use of campaign funds, but I think this could/should be addressed in a more direct, official way than offhand comments about an energy summit.
In a way, these offhand ways of addressing the problem make it less likely that anything will ever officially be done to hold her and the GOP accountable. Because it trivializes the issue, makes it seem kinda funny rather than a criminal act to be taken seriously.

It’s hard for me to even comprehend how someone could think Sarah Palin is smarter than Barack Obama. A mind-blowing concept, in fact.

This article is about Palin and Schweitzer. The fact that some posters felt the need to use this platform to bash President Obama says a lot. Why are you so obsessed and filled with hate towards President Obama? Regardless of whether or not you agree with his policies, you’d be hard pressed to present an indisputable instance of when he has personally or directly exhibited signs of possessing a mean spirit. Self examination can be extremely eye opening.

aren’t governors having to deal with this: “economic stimulus certification requirements?”
the good governor of montana must be channeling will rogers; we americans love self-deprecating humor that’s why the arrogance and disingenuousness of the good ol’ gop are not winning values.

Palin cracks me up. I read she was rejected from Districtfile.com for being too unpopular LOL!

Funny thing. Without hesitation she has continually shot off her ignorant mouth against McCain and Obama, but COLLAPSES completely whenever she has the opportunity to work with her gubernatorial colleagues – the one group she should be associating with to learn her OWN job – where nearly all of whom are more professional and better educated than she.
There’s nothing like peer pressure.

The comment by Fae is idiotic. If anyone thinks Palin has class and style, God help him/her. What a moron. I’m glad Fae is not a Democrat any more. Obama’s been cleaning out the trash, thank God. Obama a thug. I wonder if Fae would call him a thug if he were white. NOT!

I love how republicans are quick to point out that Obama’s economic stimulus plans are “failing” to help the economy; even though they have obstructed every single move he’s tried to make. Plus, it hasn’t even been a week since he’s signed it!
That strategy doesn’t work, Republicans. You cannot be do-nothing pols on the sidelines and wait for the Dems to try and fix things; and when/ig they fail say “you see!!”
Not fair – not America. Help out!

Democrat4Palin,
Your just plain dumb, like Palin. No wonder your head is stuck up her @ss! Get a life. The only place in America that Palin can get elected to public office is Alaska. That state isn’t exactly turning out a load of Rhodes scholars now is it? Jeez. People who worship Palin are perfect examples of what’s wrong with our public schools.

It’s funny, Palin makes her second trip to the White House to see the President.
She has no problem being in the company of a so called terrorist. Suck up Sarah.
Beg for some of that money to your State. I love it.

Who cares if she doesn’t go? Here is what gets me with you people! If she DID go you would all be making remarks to the extent or “She needs to take care of her own state’s problems in Alaska and stay in Alaska!” like y’all did when she went to the Alfalfa dinner with Obama. If she doesn’t go you all still bash her…if I could find the remarks from that article and copy and paste them you would all eat your own hypocrisy. Many of the user names I see here are the ones who bashed for going these things! Now I see bashing for her no going! It doesn’t matter what Sarah does, you are all still going to find attack her over, even if there is nothing attack worthy(like in this instance) and she is doing what any governor SHOULD do , which is taking care of her people first (which she ALWAYS has done and continues to do better than ANY OTHER politician out there incluing Obama the Christ!) Palin is the best governor this nation has and the most honest politician that has ever been! If that wasn’t ture the left wouldn’t be SO scared of her STILL even after the election and still using what machines they could to beat her down! Liberals and those of you who claim to hate her sooooo much spend more time going out of your way to search her out than actual Palin supporters do! And don’t give me the “she is everywhere we have no choice” line when I just read a bundle of comments about how her “fifteen minutes of fan is over.” Maybe in four years you can all choke down your pride when King Obama ruins our nation and we need the glory and brillance and down to earth rightousness of someone like Palin to pull us out!

The Governor of Texas is Rick Perry…he replace …Junior Bush..but I agree with the comments about Palin and Jihdal..Lousianna is a poor state wiath oil setting in the GULF of Mexico..Palin..whe will probably have someone drill over to Russia since she can see Russia from her ‘proach’ :)..

All you Palin haters..are you aware that she instigated the investigation into the controvery on the per diem taxes that were not even listed on her W2′provided by the Alaska Treasury office. After they determined they were taxable she is paying the tax after the state issues a corrected W-2 to her and many others in the state in the same boat.
Geinther on the other hand was awarded the job of US Treasery Sec for his “mistakes” ( yea right..as an expert he should have known better and did it anyway).
Palin has the LEADERSHIP skills to go to a professional for a determination.
“At the Governor’s request, we reviewed the situation to determine whether we were in full compliance with the pertinent Internal Revenue Service regulations,” Kreitzer wrote. “As a result of this review, we determined that per diem needs to be treated as income, requiring a revision of W-2 forms for any affected employees”

Barbara – love your thoughts
Gov Palin, as with many politicians, is an opportunist. Obama inheireted some of the worst situations in modern history. Repubs, Dems and Indies alike should pray for his success. Jindall is in charge of a small state, still not out of the bottom 15% in education, health, infrastructure, birth rates….Repubs shld consider- MN, TX but not LA gov…. a little contrived for the Repubs to find a person “of color” now……
See below:
Before they flew off, Kyle Hopkins at the Anchorage Daily News asked some questions and reported Palin’s answers on the Politics Blog. When he asked if Palin thought that the villages would be able to sustain their current populations in 10-15 years, she replied:
Some of these areas … they may need to see some change in leadership within the community, also. For the leaders whom are looked to for guidance with the young people, that these leaders show them where opportunities are also. So they can, as I just mentioned, seize opportunities for jobs, at the same time being able to be such a strong part of their communities still. It is possible.
Would anyone like some fresh ground pepper on that word salad? (grinding) Just tell me when to stop. The point in all of Palin’s verbal gymnastics and Johnny-come-lately photo ops with an evangelical on each arm is this: none of this is Palin’s fault, the state’s fault, the government’s fault or due to the fact that the Rural Advisor position sat vacant for months after its last occupant left in frustration that she wasn’t able to schedule a meeting with the governor in the ten months she held that positioin.
Here’s the whole thing.
New Rural Advisor Jon Moller – That’s right, after almost four months of Sarah Palin’s Rural Advisor bearing a striking resemblance to an empty chair, the positioin is finally filled. Public outcry and shame score another point. Jon Moller is the lucky winner, and he is also out in the villages today, visiting Emmonak and Nunam Iqua among others. Or that was the plan anyway, we think. Sounds like his visit may have not been adequately announced in the communities themselves. We wait to hear back on what transpired.

Come on, folks. Sarah Palin is Chairwoman of NGA and she doesn’t show up at the Governors’ Conference? Misses a chance to have the stage? To show off that superior command of sentence structure and fine set of morals? I’ll tell you what gives – she’s pouting. She’s putting her thumb in the eye of her perceived ‘old boy’ network. So there. Plus, she’s a new grandma, and she wants time to play with Tripp II.

For those of you who think Palin is in western AK delivering food to native Alaskans this weekend, she returned home Friday afternoon in plenty of time to get on the red-eye to DC if she so desired. That violin playing doesn’t work with us Alaskans; we know better!

Republican Governor: Charlie Crist, placed his State and his tax Paying Residence over any Political Aspirations…
Being Non-Partisan and Placing his State and it’s People First, Over Politics as usual.

The comments coming from folks on here are a bit absurd. Turn off the TV, the radio, and stop reading Infowars. There is nothing but talking point rhetoric coming from our fingers. Whining about clothes, about police states, etc. etc.
Want to talk police state? Look at the RNC and St. Paul this past fall. Last time I checked you were granted the right under our constitution to assemble and protest peacefully. That was certainly not the case. In fact look at any major dissenting organization in the past, be it the Black Panthers or the Neo-Nazi movements, or anything in between. The government has a long track record of suppressing those groups, and they have been effective.
The fellow from Montana has a point. She is the vice chairwoman of the energy committee. It is the National Governor’s Association and their meeting. She is a governor with obligations not only to her state but the position in general, therefore she should have been there. It’s what her constituents voted her in to do, especially in a politically tumultuous moment as now.
Any woman that participates in inciting people to yell “Kill him” or uses terminology like “Communism” when referring to the economy has no class, or for that matter much intelligence. Look at a transcript and you will notice she can’t even speak correctly. Her sentences are wrought with subject-verb confusions.
So have fun with your talking points kiddies. Though you may try for once, critically analyzing what you see and forming your OWN opinions. By the responses here it is evident you haven’t even tried.

Let’s see …
8 years of:
Tax breaks for the rich
Deregulation
Free Trade
“Fiscal Responsiblity”
The rich didn’t creat the jobs Bush said they would. Degregulation in the financial markets cuased chaos. Free trade has cost millions of jobs. Bush spent money like a drunken sailor, leaving a huge debt.
But wait .. it’s all Obama’s fault, and what we need to do is continue with Bush’s failed policies?
Please. Put your country first for a change, Republicans.

O…
What are you talking about.
“When Bush and his Administration helped [[Communist-Socialist China]] become part of the United Nations and G-7.”
China was one of the original members of the UN. October 1945.
China isn’t even a member of the G7. Heck they’re not even in the G8, they are technically still part of the Outreach 5.
Get your facts straight.

As a Montana native I can say that I get a kick out of Montana’a Governor. He’s got more common sense in his little finger than Palin’s got in her whole family.

s.morgan,
The Washington Post was the first to publish the “per diem” story in mid-September, 2008. When exactly did the good Governor request a review of the situation; before or after WAPO broke the story?
If she were truly concerned about the per diem issue, wouldn’t she have asked for a review when she first started paying herself for staying at home and eating? And why is an official review necessary when ordinary common sense dictates that one does not get paid for eating home-cooked meals.
The maximum Food Stamp allotment in urban Alaska for an individual is $210-per-month. I wonder how those Food Stamp recipients feel about their governor paying herself $60 a day for at-home food and incidentals?

To the individual “Shano” who posted the comment last night at 11:09 PM. I have attached it below: I am a baby boomer (one of the later ones.) My oldest son is a bit younger than you. Please know, I, and many of my peers, are ashamed of the vitriolic and insulting discourse in this country that masquerades as “addressing the issues”. You are absolutely correct that we allow ourselves to be manipulated by BOTH sides of the aisle. We speak in a manner that lacks humility, wisdom,and judgment and results in inevitably alienating the “other side.” I agree that it accomplishes NOTHING. I honestly have never posted a comment on a message board like this before because I don’t believe that my thoughts will be reflected on respectfully or dealt with honestly. Our problems are so immense that we, as a country, will either rise or fall together. We are tragically being played against one another and solving nothing in the process. My parents harken back to the time of World War II when the country was able to work together despite their differences to achieve a greater peace and good. I only hope that each of us would stop to consider the futility of demonizing our fellow citizens rather than coming together to respectfully and intelligently address issues that threaten us all. I have strong opinions, but I understand other people, who might see things different from me, also have opinions that deserve to be heard and considered. There are no easy answers, but let’s set a tone of respect, rather than ridicule.
Shano wrote >everyone who has posted should be ashamed of themselves. EVERYONE! You people wonder why this nation is falling apart? It isn’t Obama’s fault, he has been in office for 1 month, totally not reasonable to blame him. It is all of our faults for being do polarized. We have let all of our politicians play us for fools, both parties, they are the ones messing things up. As a 26yr old I would like to say thanks to all the boomers and tweeners who can’t take time to figure out what the heck is going on and fix it because they are ALL (politicians and civilian people) too busy whining and disagreeing. I am sick of it, makes me want to vomit to read all these. If we can not rationally or reasonably figure out what is going on instead of saying ohh dems do this and they are stupid and republicans are like this and they are dumb we are never ever going to be good again. FIGURE IT OUT. Thanks mr. limbaugh and mr. oberman, you have both created job stablilty by riling up our population to the point where we can’t even discuss what is going on with COMMON SENSE-

According to Dreika, Palin is the most honest politician that has ever been.
Good Lord, what does that say about the average politician? Here are just some of Saint Sarah’s lies and half-truths.
On the Branchflower Report: “I’m very, very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing, any hint of any kind of unethical activity there. Very pleased to be cleared of any of that.”
“Thanks but no thanks for the bridge to nowhere.”
“[Alaska]… produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy…”
“…show me where I have ever said that there’s absolute proof that nothing that man has ever conducted or engaged in has had any affect, or no affect, on climate change.”
Regarding the firing of the Wasilla
librarian: “There’s been no meeting, no actual terminations.”
On her acceptance of the vice-presidency: “It was a time of asking the girls to vote on it, anyway. And they voted unanimously, yes.”
“We’re building a nearly $40-billion natural gas pipeline, which is North America’s largest and most expensive infrastructure project ever.”
“Through competition as governor, I got agreements to build a nearly $40-billion natural gas pipeline.”
“As mayor, every year I was in office I did reduce taxes.”
Barack Obama’s health care plan is “to mandate health care coverage and have a universal government-run program.”
“ANWR sits within a 20 million-acre refuge… but thanks to advanced technology like directional drilling, the aggregated drilling footprint would be less than 2,000 acres…. This is like laying a 2-by-3-foot welcome mat on a basketball court.”
On Bristol and Levi: “They are certainly not high school dropouts.”
According to the Congressional Institute, Palin said she simply could not make it to the House Republicans’ winter retreat because pressing state business made it impossible for her to leave Alaska the weekend of Jan 31st, 2009.

– She would be over her head in that ganthering, and she knows it. –
Ganthering??? And, clearly, you are way in over your head on this forum. LMAO

“Ganthering??? And, clearly, you are way in over your head on this forum. LMAO”
Diane, why are you laughing so hard? I see nothing funny about that typo. Explain the joke for us please.

WELL, WHADDA’ YA THINK??? When we rally behind Politicians and “Talking Heads” from both sides (who make extremely ‘big bucks’) pitting us all against each other with their poisonous propaganda, who wins??? Certainly NOT The People. Black -vs- White, Majority -vs- Minority, Immigration Yea -vs- Immigration Nay, Straight -vs- Gay, Pro-Life -vs- Pro-Choice, Rich -vs- Not Rich, Management -vs- Labor, Young -vs- Old, and even Male -vs- Female, etc., etc., etc….. Seems to me, if we could independently “manage our own Personal Demons” and refuse to “be led around by our noses”, we could probably ‘Reach Down’ and summon-up the courage to Forgive Our Fellow Man (and/or Woman) and then proceed on to some Open, Honest, Respectful, Intelligent, Civil Discourse – that could possibly allow us to Reason Together, with the objective of “Gaining Traction” in the direction MOST of us know we need to be ‘headed in.’

—-> SHE WAS CLEARED! the branchflower report was a JOKE, and if you read all of it you see she was cleared. “I’m very, very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing, any hint of any kind of unethical activity there. Very pleased to be cleared of any of that.”
—–> FACT Thanks but no thanks for the bridge to nowhere.” SHE CUT THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE
—–> TRUE STATEMENT “[Alaska]… produces nearly 20 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy…” she is correct out of all the states
Alaska produces 20%
—–> TRUE STATEMENT “…show me where I have ever said that there’s absolute proof that nothing that man has ever conducted or engaged in has had any affect, or no affect, on climate change.”
Regarding the firing of the Wasilla
librarian: “There’s been no meeting, no actual terminations.” SARAH IS CORRECT.
SARAH IS CORRECT
On her acceptance of the vice-presidency: “It was a time of asking the girls to vote on it, anyway. And they voted unanimously, yes.”
SARAH IS CORRECT
“We’re building a nearly $40-billion natural gas pipeline, which is North America’s largest and most expensive infrastructure project ever.”
SARAH IS CORRECT ADN DEBUNKED THE AP STORY
“Through competition as governor, I got agreements to build a nearly $40-billion natural gas pipeline.”
“As mayor, every year I was in office I did reduce taxes.” FACT!
Barack Obama’s health care plan is “to mandate health care coverage and have a universal government-run program.” SHES RIGHT THATS WHAT OBAMA WANTS!

OK, you say the $$$ wardrobe was ‘borrowed’. If the clothing costs thousands, it is custom-tailored, yes? So from which lady Republican, exactly, was it borrowed?? And why did the wardrobe end up all crammed into black plastic bags in a warehouse, instead of being ‘donated to charity’ as was claimed? Why so may lies?? It’s the LYING that sticks in my throat.

“We are on the verge of economic collapse as a result of foolish decisions by President Obama, and this clown is still worried about Sarah Palin’s clothes.
Worry about your own state first, Brian.”
Gary,
Surely you jest. President Obama has been in office for one month. This “economic collapse”, as you so lamely put it, is the result of the policies of the last eight years rammed down our throats by the recently-departed idiot-in-chief, Dumbya.
I don’t give a rat’s a** what Sarah Palin wears, what brand of tampon she buys, etc. etc. She and her trashy family have been relegated back to the Oxycontin capitol of the world, where well they belong.
2012? Don’t make me laugh. I have a better shot of being elected president than she does.
And, oh, yeah (not that it matters)…she is not that pretty, either. Standing next to Tina Fey, who is younger, prettier, and thinner, only served to amplify this point.

The clothing was returned to the RNC. If they left it in plastic bags in a warehouse, how is that Gov. Palins fault? She returned them!
As for the Per Diem, Gov. Palin filled out the expense reports because she was TOLD by her STAFF that it was ok to claim it. She figured her staff, and the accounting department whose job it is to know what are and are not legal expenses according to Alaska law, would let her know if there was a problem. When it was brought up as possibly being wrong, she asked for it to be investigated. When it was decided that it’s not legal, she will pay taxes on it. As many articles will tell you, Palin is NOT THE ONLY ALASKAN EMPLOYEE who claimed per diem wrongly. She is also not the only employee who is now paying taxes on the wrongly received per diem. So it was not an isolated incident for her alone.
Did anyone see Palins energy speech during the campaign? It was quite good. Now she might not be the most knowlegeable energy governor in the the US, but she’s no dolt either. She certainly has more energy knowlege than the majority of other current governors. Quit acting like she didn’t go because she’s scared to be around others who might know more than her. Let’s be real. That woman is not scared of much and she is certainly not scared of any man.

Finding NUMBER ONE of the Branchflower report states “Governor Sarah Palin Abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.” The report in no way cleared her of “any hint of wrongdoing.”
Bridge to Nowhere: Everybody knows she was fer it before she was agin it.
Alaska’s share of domestic energy production was less than 4 percent; nowhere near 20 percent.
Sarah Palin has been quoted several times flip-flopping on the cause of Global Warming.
Sarah asked the librarian at least twice about the procedure regarding book banning. She fired the librarian in January 2007, but later withdrew the termination letter after public outcry.
Both Todd Palin and the McCain camp story was that the girls were kept in the dark for a day about their mother being offered the McCain VP slot. Sarah claimed she was offered the slot 2 days before it was announced to the public (untrue) and that she had asked her daughters for permission (impossible if they were being kept in the dark).
They are not building the gas pipeline. Construction has not yet begun.
According to ADN in August 2008, TransCanada had not promised to actually build the gas line. Palin also frequently says the pipeline will cost nearly $40 billion. TransCanada estimates the cost at $26-billion.
Sales tax rose while Palin was mayor of Wasilla. The overall amount of taxes collected increased by 25 percent.
The Obama health plan as described during the campaign keeps the free-market health care system intact, particularly employer-based insurance. It is not a goverment-run program.
The 2,000 drilling acres in ANWR are not all in the same spot. They are spread all over the refuge and would be connected by a network of roads. It would be more like tossing mini welcome mats all over the basketball court and joining them together with stepping stones. Now try playing a game of hoops.
Levi used to be a high school hockey jock. Used to be. Past tense. He quit. He left the school. Just because he may be taking online courses now doesn’t mean he didn’t drop out. Bristol left school lacking enough credits (one?) to graduate. Just because she may be going back (has she yet?) doesn’t mean she didn’t drop out.
So when did Sarah finally update the winter retreat hosts that she would be available to travel after all, but that she would be snubbing them for the Alfalfa Club dinner?

Governor Palin was busy:
While Gov. Sarah Palin has taken heat from political foes over the state’s handling of appeals from Western Alaska that the region is suffering a fuel and food crisis, count 28-year-old Russian Mission resident Jojo Changsak as a fan.
“It felt like someone actually cared about our small villages,” Changsak said after Palin visited the Yukon River community of 330 people Friday alongside evangelist Franklin Graham.
Graham’s international Christian relief group, Samaritan’s Purse, planned to deliver 44-pound boxes of food to every household in the village. It’s part of an aid effort, announced this week, that’s expected to send more than 40,000 pounds of donations to hard-hit Alaska communities.
Churches, nonprofits, bloggers and donors scattered across the country have been gathering food and supplies for cash-poor Yukon River communities over the past several weeks after reports of people struggling to feed their families emerged from the region.
Regional leaders say an awful salmon fishing season, combined with expensive gasoline, left some fishermen losing money for the season. They pushed for the state to declare an economic disaster in the region, which Palin’s team has declined to do, saying it doesn’t meet legal requirements.
As of December, the unemployment rate in the Wade Hampton Census Area, which includes Emmonak, Russian Mission and Marshall, was more than 19 percent. The statewide rate was less than 8 percent.
“Another purpose of the trip today is not just delivering food for a short-term solution, but to remind those, especially young people, in rural Alaska of the job opportunities that are available, albeit it requires in some cases leaving the village for a short time,” Palin said.
Palin’s team has talked about getting more regional workers employed in the fish processing industry, but details of any program she might propose remain unclear.
The governor planned to travel to Russian Mission and Marshall with Graham — who owns a home in Alaska — and Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell. Parnell said Graham called him about the trip on Saturday.
“He made a very generous offer, saying that Samaritan’s Purse would be willing to offer their airplanes to transport food,” Parnell said.

Pls don’t fight over Palin, while the rest of the country and every comedian is laughing at her. You will spoil our fun. Some of you Palinistas are also a tinge bit ‘radical’ to think she’ll ever have a chance, but heh!! That’s America, don’t you just love it?

Not too hard to figure out. She knew she, who touted herself as an “energy expert” was going to face two real energy experts, for a full 90 minutes. It would have been far more revealing than her Couric and Gibson interviews. And winking wouldn’t have counted for much. To keep the illusion of being an energy expert, she had to stay home.

She probably isn’t comfortable enough on the subject and would have come across badly. In her last press conference in Alaska, she had all of her commissioners surrounding her and would defer to them for answers to questions as they came from the press. She is coming across as very nervous now when in front of the press even in Alaska!!

Palin will never run in2012! She isn’t liked by the likes of Rick Perry, Arnold, Pawlnty Crist, Her support may wank up the RW And some good ole boys and girls from the South, but get real!
also she was whooping it up at some stupid snowmobile race that the first dude was in for prize money insted of helping those 1000 families then Graham comes to town and she sees the light,,,,, the light of the camera I mean. Pleeze And as for those clothes she did not borrow them they were bought for her and her hubby and the kids. So get over it! And to all of you Repungnents
If this plan of Obama’s works what will you do next??? Whimper cry and beat your breasts?? Maybe your leader Limbaugh can help you (sorry brain freeze) he’s going to take his millions and Leave you all in the dark!

tango, I don’t care who told Sarah Palin it was ok to claim the per diem, she had to know it was wrong to get paid $60 a day to stay at home and eat. She’s not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed, but nobody is THAT stupid. She’s just an ordinary, dishonest tax cheat. Just like the $43,000 in travel expenses for Todd and the kids that she wrote off as “business related.” What a maverick!
Did you see the video of Sarah answering an off-the-cuff energy question during a town hall meeting? If she’s not an energy dolt, she was sure doing a good impersonation of one. Maybe you can explain the meaning of her reply:
“Oil of coal, of course, is, 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 that there are 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.”

Trish and Fae do what white trash do!!

I am enjoying not hearing or seeing Ms. Palin for quite some time now.
Please don’t bring down my buzz.
She is a silly silly silly woman.
Enough.

GINO (Governor in Name Only) Palin looks good but doesn’t have what it takes to be a leader – except maybe The Leader of the Laundromat, as the old song goes.

“She has more class and morals in her little finger then any Democrat around these days! I was a Dem for 56 years. No more. Obama is a thug with the rest of the party the last year. I would vote for Palin in a heart beat.”
__________________________________
Is that the “little finger” she uses to shoot wolves from airplanes with her pasty-faced, drunk, big-buck-paying- big-game “hunters” that come up to Alaska to participate in this blood sport?
Or is it the “little finger” that gave the OK for The RNC to buy her $150,000 worth of clothes and for the services of a $50,000 hair stylist and make-up artist.
I wouldn’t say anything, but GINO touts herself as a down-home “hockey-mom.” NUTS!!!!!

We are on the verge of economic collapse as a result of foolish decisions by President Obama, and this clown is still worried about Sarah Palin’s clothes.

No one is worried about Palin’s clothes, but most people don’t like phonies and hypocrites.
Honest people don’t claim to be down-to-earth – regular folks and then revel in tailor made Neimen-Marcus clothes. (As one writer said, “They’re not my clothes. I’m just wearing them.”)
I wouldn’t care if GINO (Palin) wasn’t thinking of running for President in 2012 (What a nightmare!!!) but her blind ambition is being reinforced by the extreme right.

Morals? You mean the fact she was a few months along when she got married to Todd? Do the math!
And to those crowing about her skills as a governor- the state of Alaska is now 1.2 billion dollars in debt.

Scheitzer is a douche

Obama’s peeps don’t drink KOOL-AID, we drink organic beer or wine!
GOPers drink KOOL AID in public, while on their way to having affairs, or while having phone sex with pages, tapping their foot on the floor of a mens bathroom stall, or while taking money from lobbyists…and all the while singing “jesus loves me”!
Give me my alcohol…and I will tell you the truth! Instead of singing praises to God, while being a porn addict, and damning liberals as doing the devils work!
The BORING HYPOCRITES of the GOP are really OLD and TIRESOME so now they say Turn up the RAP…we are coming back!
Good god it just gets better!
Palin can’t run with the BIG dogs…b/c she can’t prove she is credible….just cutsy! Pass me the eye liner and give me my corsage!
KOOL AID ANYONE?

LOL She can’t win for losing…they would bit@h if she showed… Time to move on media…Palin bashing is over. You all sound like the Obama haters. Disgusting!

All you “Religious Rights” people should be ashamed of yourselves……You claim to be so riteous and yet you make these remarks here that are so vicious…..and won’t give an “honest” man a chance before you slander him on this site? If this is what “Religious” people do, maybe they should be home reading their Bibles and learning the way to behave than to be on sites reading blogs…..
You people are SICK! And the worst part of it is you can’t see it, but the rest of us can.
The word Republican turns my stomach, as I watched the campaign this year. How can anyone with any intelligence not see how Palin was. She is a good “Reader”, as any “robot” could read a scripted message. However, she can’t think for herself, or the Republican’s would not have isolated her from the News Media. She can only discuss what she has been coached on and does not think for herself!!
Didn’t you think it odd that she was not allowed to be interviewed? Here she was running for the Second Most Important position in the country and she was not allowed to be interviewed??
There is definitely something wrong with that picture.
I always knew from young on up that the Republican party was the “Big Business” party, but when they had the majority in Congress, they showed us all what “Big Business” people could do to our economy when they only looked out for themselves!! We are still bailing out the “Big Business” that they are all tied up in, wonder how much the Republicans are receiving from the
‘Bank Lobbyists? Shame on us for letting this happen. I’m sure there are a “few” good people who are Republicans, but they were not elected to office!
Reading the comments here, I can see how easy it is to brainwash people who cannot think for themselves. The people who cannot think for themselves cannot see others who are the same way (Palin).

Sarah you are doing the right thing by staying in Alaska and taking care of business. The American people do not pay these politicians to constantly run for office, they are elected to do a job takeing care of America NOT travel all over the U.S.A.or other countries.
What the heck was Palosies big trip about and why did we have to pay for it, mail her a trophy. What a waste of energy and money. I guess the elite do not have to work for a living they just steal the money from the American taxpayer. Yes Sarah you have my vote when ever you want to run.

Palin determioned it was in HER best interests to be a NO SHOW–facts were to be used in regard to the issues and she no longer has the crack GOP speechwriters to feed her glib lines to boost her stage presence beyod its real limitations !!! She WAS THE DESIGNATED CHAIRWOMAN…you really believe she JUST suddenly decided to decline the appearance ? How simp;ly naive of you..but blindeyed loyalty and too much of koolaid sippings , guess that is preferable to the real truthmaticals !!!

Amazing the lies that get tossed around as fact.
1. She wasn’t “a few months along” when she got married, she was 3 weeks pregnant. She probably didn’t even know.
2. She kept none of the clothes. 4 days aafter the election, RNC folks came to Alaska and collected everything after an inventory by Palin. Most of the clothes in question were the wrong size and had stayed in the belly of the airplane the entire campaign.
3. Check with Obama on Palin’s energy credentials. You’ll note that he just traveled to Canada and endorsed the big natural gas line from Alaska to the Midwest.
4. As noted, Palin was busy dealing with a big problem here in Alaska. While fuel costs have plummeted elsewhere, folks in Alaska’s Bush are still paying $8-10/gallon for oil and gas. She flew out this weekend to asess the situation.

Trish, I agree with you totally. I, too was a Democrat for most of my life and my first vote was for Jack Kennedy but my last was for McCain/Palin. The Governor is a smart, spirited charming, intelligent lady who can speak clearly without “ummms” and “you knows”. Obviously, she makes the Dems crazy and scares them. Palin 2012

When asked why she didn’t visit the starving villagers earlier, Palin, as usual, vomited forth a long, thick stream of words, then ended the display with a round of bible thumping. At no point did she answer the question.
Q: How would you respond to people who said that you should have made this trip, you know, a month ago or six weeks ago? Why wait until now?
PALIN: Well from the day that Sean Parnell and I got elected, our efforts have been to make sure that we have a revitalized economy in Alaska. And that job opportunities would be seized by all Alaskans. Especially those in rural Alaska to recognize that instead of importing our workforce as we do today, to such a large extent, we want the young people in rural Alaska to get these jobs. That has been our effort from the day we got elected.
Now, as for personally what Sean and I have done as individuals to help in rural Alaska, in faith-based communities, you know I think, well I think Matthew 6:3 says it best. It’s a scripture that says, ‘let not your right hand know what your left hand is doing.’ If you’re going to do a personal charitable effort … what we do personally to support and tithe and offer assistance to some of these missions, I’m going to keep that to myself.

The other thing I don’t get is how no one is paying attention to the news… Look, Palin’s been running around since the election, doing everything but stay in Alaska, getting criticism there for it. Now she changes course, perhaps to do her job, but also for people like you who really want to find something they like about her, and she’s now missing things that sound like real responsibilities outside Alaska. I don’t really care, but she’s not some kind of role model governor for staying in Alaska now, she’s either doing it because of the criticism she got and for the spin, or to do her basic job while shelfing other responsibilities… She’s just nothing great!

With Obama flying around making what? Something like six diffent visits in thirty days, including Canada and Denver to sign a National Bill, I think you got your politicians mixed up. The Governor is on the job unlike Obama who went to Camp David cause he needed a rest from the White House after a few days of OJT.

The Governor is great, the Governor is good. Let us thank her for the 44 pounds of charity food. Amen.

lol lexa, that was a great impersonation of the typical small-minded, bigoted TeamSarah member. You did make one little mistake however. It’s not spelled predudice. They spell it pred-you-dish. hehehe

Excuse me I never claimed to be perfect.
So I forgot the j in prejudice.
You have no idea how any of us is going to eat after all the tax payers and businesses run out of money or move out of the country to avoid this pork bill the fool signed. Think about it. Taxes pay for free food and heating and medicine. When no taxes are collected there is no money to spread around. Here is a hint…. the big o is not really a God and does not care what happens to you. He has his and he will eat regardless. Like he tells you to turn your heat down but keeps the wh hot enough to grow orchids. Oh well enjoy your fantasy while it lasts.

My point exactly… why so many meetings that cost taxpayers money.. she said sorry things to do here can not make it…
saving us money….
some people hate her because she is white… so stupid and so sad…
go Sarah go Sarah

well dahh stupid my question was to you… what happens when the food stamp card does not work anymore???? smoke some more crack and take some more meth… see you on the other side

knee slapper good grief how old are you??

Hey Chris,
You were Dead Wrong…
China is a part of the [[G-20]]
—————
Seems like the [[G-20]] are Following Obama’s Lead…Huh
BERLIN — European leaders mounted a united front against the global financial crisis Sunday, proposing sweeping new market regulations, but it remained unclear whether economic giants like the United States and China would go along.
Heads of government and finance ministers from Europe’s largest economies joined German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin to lay the groundwork for a common European position on economic reforms before an April 2 summit of the..
[[Group of 20 nations in London]].
“Europe will own up to its responsibility in the world,” Merkel told reporters following the talks.
Leaders from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic agreed to press for sanctions on tax havens, caps for managers’ bonus payments and a stronger role and increased funding for the International Monetary Fund.
While the plans were based on an agenda adopted by the [[G-20]] in November, the measures announced Sunday were more far-reaching and concrete, particularly on long-disputed issues such as hedge fund regulation.
Big A!! Note: However, analysts say other G-20 Members, Including the U.S., China, Japan and developing nations like India and Brazil, might not share Europe’s zeal for Blanket Global Regulations.

In a half-hour segment on “Meet the Press” on Sunday, the varying threads of the GOP political psychology came into sharp contrast. On one side sat Charlie Crist, the Moderate Republican Governor of the state of Florida, who not only openly campaigned for the president’s stimulus package but also sent some very public plaudits the Obama’s way.
“I think there is a national leader, his name is President Obama,” he told host David Gregory when asked if his own party had national leaders. “The people elected him. And I’m willing to give him a good shot and try to help make this work.
We’re in a tough time, as we talked about before.
I think we do need to be bipartisan. We need to be, in fact, nonpartisan. We’re all Americans. Our country is at a dire point and we need to do everything we can to work together to get America through this.”
Pressed as to whether he thought “the president has the right prescription to ease this recession,” the Florida Republican replied, without pausing:
“I think he’s on the right track.” Asked if he thought it was a mistake for “the Republican Party to define itself by opposition to the stimulus,” he said: “It may be.”
The show’s other guest, Bobby Jindal, did not offer such willing praise for the president. The Louisiana Governor, known superficially as the conservative Obama, pledged that the party would and should work in a bipartisan fashion. But his pitch was one of philosophical defiance, especially on matters like the stimulus.
“The Republican Party has got to offer conservative alternative solutions.
I think our obligation is to work with the president every chance we can, to be bipartisan,” he told Gregory. “We need to work with the president every chance we can.
But on principle we should be unafraid to stand up on principle and to point out our alternative solutions.”
The two governors, both rumored to harbor presidential ambitions, represent the current bookends of Republican thought.
Their appearances on “Meet the Press” underscored the complex question facing the party.
How does the GOP restore its power: through reaffirming principles or expanding its approach?
Not surprisingly, the two had different diagnoses when it came to rebuilding the Republican brand.
JINDAL: “I don’t think we expand by becoming an imitation of the other party. I think we expand by standing on principle for what we believe in. I think that attracts voters. They may not agree with us on everything, but they will respect our honesty and will respect the results.”
CRIST: “You shouldn’t be the party of no. Well, there’s a time to say no. But I think you need to be a party that works across the aisle, where you participate.
Both [Republicans and Democrats] have to do that. I think it’s important for both Democrats and Republicans to work together for Americans.”

LOUD NOISES! LOUDER NOISES! LOUDEST NOISES!
I can insult better than you can! AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!
Sarah Palin is the Blessed Virgin, if I were a “true Christian,” and not a Papist!
Barack Hussein Obama is a fascist! No, he’s a communist! No, he’s a terrorist! No, he’s a terroristic fascist-communist! Yeah, it all makes sense now!
Buy guns before they’re illegal!
Withdraw all troops from Afghanistan! Place grossly high tariffs on all imports!
I love intelligent political discussion.

Wanted to be President but did not want to pay taxes or travel to Washington.
Such a great Governor (according to Fox) wanted to “save our great country” doesn’t even want to work with her fellow governors for the good of America.

I love the frothing at the mouth about this woman…. she scares you lol
:)

poor baby… I bet you have nightmares over her.

I like a politician who limits his sh#t stains to the knee of his dungarees :)

sigh
so many nightmares….

As a Montanan, I’d rather have a governor who stays in the state and does work. Schweitzer seems to be big on the lecture circuit these days. His down-homesy attitude and “ah shucks” persona is just the shlock that keeps him at dinners in LA and DC more than here in Montana.
