Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will appear at this month’s Conservative Political Action Conference only via TV hookup, while the man she aced out for the 2008 GOP vice presidential nomination may still take the stage: Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has been invited to speak at a morning session on the final day of the conference, scheduled for Feb. 26-28 in Washington, D.C. And the woman sometimes called Minnesota’s Sarah Palin (or vice versa), Republican U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, will serve as emcee on opening night.
That’s when Palin, who turns 45 today, had been penciled in as headline speaker. Her cancellation — which has fueled a blog-storm across the political spectrum — averted the galactic meltdown that was sure to happen had she and the similarly dynamic Bachmann physically shared the same stage. Palin also backed out on a speaking slot at the right-wing confab last year.

I’m glad to hear they’re having another one of these. They produce weeks, if not months, of hysterically funny material for The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. The sad part is that those of us with more than a second-grade education (you know: the ones who know that Africa is a continent, not a country) have to tune to shows on Comedy Central to get a little real news on television–don’t start now with that “Liberal News” crap, now. I mean no offense to most of you kids who haven’t gotten past second grade yet. Most of you aren’t all that dumb, either. If you don’t want to grow up to be dumb, just ask your parents who they voted for in 2008; if they say McCain and Palin, don’t ever listen to them again–EVER. And good luck, you’ll need it. We all will. Oh, and by the way kids: Global Warming and Evolution are REAL.

Maybe thin-skinned Sarah chickened out because EYEONPALIN.COM was planning a campaign to slam her during the conference for her airplane wolf-slaughtering program.
“Palin is scheduled to give a major speech in Washington, DC on February 26th. And we want to put the national spotlight on her support for aerial killing of wolves and the execution of helpless wolf pups, her equally outrageous slaughter of female brown and black bears and their cubs, her lawsuit to eliminate federal protections for imperiled polar bears, and her opposition to protecting imperiled beluga whales.
Palin’s clearly worried about our national public education campaign: She’s tried to tar the Eye on Palin campaign as the efforts of an “extreme fringe group.” But Palin’s aerial wolf-killing program has been repeatedly condemned by scientists, Alaskans and ethical hunters alike.
We’ve already gained the support of some 120 members of Congress to pass federal legislation to end her barbaric killing. And we will stop her.’

Bill:
Colorado for example is thinning the Elk herd in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Are you going to stop the Forest Service Bill? They have also hired guns to kill Coyotes in the city. Are you going to sue the county as well? Last week a woman gave birth in a Florida abortion clinic. The doctor cut the umbilicus cord, but the baby in a plastic bag and tossed it in the trash. This is not about the Wolf population in Alaska, its about you and Sarah Palin.

Global Warming and Evolution are neither Real or Unreal.They are just two theories.Both have many flaws.They are believed acorrding to one’s personality,attitude about seeing life,political and social interest,etc…And Sarah Palin really is a smart and effective politician.Anyone who criticizes her,should run twicw for a position of mayor and after that should try to run for governor position aginst two experienced politicians Frank Murkowski and Tony Knowles.Sarah did.And she won.Everything beside that is just talking.

Bill, you must be Lipstick on a Chicken, you’ve posted this same stupid thing over and over again. Palin didn’t back out this year or last year, she was never confirmed. CPAC always falls during the 90 day Alaskan legislative session, so that is why she didn’t go last year or this year. I guess that takes care of Bill and his stupid theory. It’s interesting to note that Defenders of Wildlife which is running ads about Alaskan wolves, is given the grade of D by Charitywatch, because DW spends more money on fundraising than it does anything else. As for Ashley Judd, DW is using her just to raise money, and Judd is using DW to help revive her failing career. DW and Judd may be running EYEONPALIN.COM, check out http://www.eyeonjudd.org/

You know what? I’m an Independant, and I am sad to watch and listen to this crap….President Obama this and that and Gov. Palin this and that. How about this, if you dislike or disagree with someone, campaign with your positives and stop putting down the other person. It’s like sales, if you bad mouth the competitor the buy will go there. People are getting turned off with this stuff. I will tell you who will win the election in 2012, the person that syas enough is enough and raises above this crap and reaches out to all to fix this country’s problems and gets the population be hind him/her. Best wishes to all. Keep our negative ideas, and give us your positive ones.
Take care.
