Sarah Palin: What do Alaskan Democrats think of her as VP?

“He will squish her — like a bug”

Wow, that quote sure reminds me of someone. hmmmm, oh, yes; our own Sandy “Foul Mouth” Pappas!

Do Democrat women have to attend a special finishing school before getting the “D” endorsement, Paul. Or are they sought out with their special talent for coarseness already developed?

I wonder if Ms. Drummond had forgotten that Governor Palin is enjoying a 90% approval rating among Alaskan citizens?

It occurs to me that Governor Palin's graceful, polite nature might be one of the first benefits our political system, and our nation, will garner from her appearance into our lives.

End in sight on lawsuit over sports center land
HEARING: Case is set to go to the Supreme Court in August.

WASILLA — Settlement is in sight on a 9-year-old court battle over land on which Wasilla's Multi-Use Sports Complex is built.

Anchorage Superior Court Judge Peter Michalski on Monday signed an order giving developer Gary Lundgren $314,739 in attorney fees and court costs in an eminent domain case the city filed against Lundgren's land in December 2002. In eminent domain cases, the plaintiff typically pays the defendants' court fees.

Combined with $837,000 that the city paid last year for the raw land and another $362,000 in interest payments paid in December 2007, the total price tag for the 80 acres comes to $1.5 million.

City attorney Tom Klinkner, with Birch, Horton, Bittner and Cherot, last year estimated that the city paid his firm about $250,000 more to litigate the case.

That's not a bad deal. Lundgren had valued the property at about $2.4 million, said Greg Miller, the attorney with Birch, Horton, Bittner and Cherot who has been arguing the case on behalf of the City of Wasilla since 2005.

Still it's a lot more than the roughly $125,000 the city would have paid in 1998 if it had closed a deal to buy the property outright.

I was a McCain supporter until he made this poor choice. Palin hasn't the experience to sit atop the #2 spot in our nation's leadership. Her ties to oil undercut any effort to wean America off of oil for good, it's a step backward, even when McCain had been talking of raising the bar in terms of alternative energy enterprises. We cannot be dependent on oil, dependence on any one thing does not bode well for the security of America.

I would like to know why a woman would leave a baby born in April, 2008, to go traveling all over this
country, leaving her daughters to take care of the baby. Seems she is a self-serving opportunist.
“Country First” is a joke when she says that and also when McSame says it. If he were thinking of this
country, giving his health problems and his age, he would have selected someone qualified to take over this country. Oh, that's right, he will not win, anyway. Getting back to Sarah– with the baby having health
issues. seems she would want to be with him. Well, the nominee abandoned his first wife because
she was crippled. Maybe Sarah with the strident voice and the bumbling old guy deserve each other.

Sarah Palin's graceful, polite nature? She seemed to have more of a nasally screech with not grace at all. Looks like McCain is an old coot who likes the prettiest ones. That sure does not make this woman qualified to take over as president if McCain is elected and dies or is not able to perform his duties. This is a serious concern with McCain being 72 years old. has had bouts with cancer.

Has the full story been written on Palin's abuse of eminent domain laws while Mayor of Wasilla to seize land she wanted to build an ice rink on? I'm picking up bits and pieces, but I wonder if someone has put it all together in one definitive article?

Did you bother to ask Nancy Pelosi, who has been in the Senate and who has a house full of kids how she made it? Nope, guess not, seems that if its a Dem they get a pass if they are someone who is real and ready to make a change plus being a member of the GOP, the questions begin to fly. Try to be smarter than the average Demokratt.

Brad either you haven't been paying attention or have been drinking to much of the leftist kookaide but it was Gov. Palin who took on Big Oil , raised tax on them and cleaned up the Alaskan Oil and Gas Commission. Quoting from the Detroit Free Press: :The populist Republican has raised taxes on the oil industry. She has pushed through ethics legislation amid a burgeoning corruption investigation of Alaska lawmakers.”
You certainly failed to hear her speech last night when she called for the full gambit of energy development. Guess it must have been past your bed time.
Maybe you need to do some homework Brad before making comments and showing ignorance of the topic.

I'd like to know why Sarah Palin is going against what the Alaskan people want by killing off the wolves and bears and allowing aerial hunting!!!!! When I found this out, my opinion of her went down to ZERO!!!!! Check out the Defenders of Wildlife and you'll see how horrible this is!!!

When Sarah Palin said after Barack Obama won the primary,”Sambo beat the Bitch,” she showed her true colors. How could anyone possibly consider voting for such a harsh, uneducated, unChristian, racist, low down, egotistical, unethical, immoral pig?

There you have it…Republican family values…need anyone say more.

Did you know that Nancy Pelosi was a stay at home mother for many years and put her children first? Of course not…you probably don't read. She managed to be very involved in her community and in politics but always involved her children. Perhaps you should read the book (or have someone who can read, read it to you, Madame Speaker, Nancy Pelosii's Life, Times and Rise To Power, by Marc Sandalow. On page 70 she is quoted as saying, “Our oldest child will soon be going to college, and the others just behind her.” she explained. “I will have to get a job-a paying job.” She didn't even have a special needs child and chose to stay at home and raise her children. She was a very active woman in many ways, always tried to be home at 3pm when her kids got home from shcool. She has remained a very involved grandmother and mother even while in office. Granted she was lucky to be able to afford to stay at home to raise her children like so many Americans can no longer afford to do, but she gave her children her all and still does. Sarah Palin may have been a pitbull with lipstick hockey mom, but she has handed her children over for others to care for so she could forge ahead with her own self interest and power, her harsh, corrupt, hypocritical rise to power…that is after going to five colleges in six years and popping out some kids. She is disgusting and certainly not ready to be president if anything should happen to OLD John McSame.

To Kathryn McDermott : Did you know that women Nancy Pelosi's age (69) were not involved in politicsduring the time you claim she was a stay at home mom. Oh Wow, what a great come back you tried to throw up. As soon as Nancy and hubby moved back to San Francisco she got involved in politics because her husbands brother was was a member of the City and County of San Francisco's Board of Supervisors. She didn't have to do much to work her way up in Democrat politics in that area since only a small group are registered as anything other than Dems. Of course she could stay at home, her hubby was filthy rich as you Obamazombies like to describe those who have money. Pelosi continues to be among the richest members of Congress.
On the other hand Sarah Palin was an ordinary mom who saw thing wrong with the way government operated and got involved. Unlike Pelosi she did not have a brother in law to open the doors for her. Unlike Pelosi Sarah Palin actually was elected against long odds, Pelosi was elected in a district so safe that no one has ran against the “machine” since the 40's. Unlike Pelosi Sarah Palin was not born into a political family nor one with money, Pelosi father, Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr., was a U.S. Congressman from Maryland and a Mayor of Baltimore. Sarah's mom and dad were and are ordinary working folks, dad a school teacher and mom a secretary. That's something that Pelosi can't understand and will never really “get it” about ordinary folks.
Yep Nancy stayed at home because she could afford to and only got involved when the timing for women to enter politics was becoming accepted. As stated previously she really didn't have to even run to get elected, just get her name on the ticket.
Now as to Sarah not being a stay at home Mom. She gave ample time to her kids during their formative years and still does. The kids were always first in her life as was her family. Pelosi didn't have to worry, her kids were in private schools and they had “domestic help” with the kids growing up, Sarah didn't but balanced the job as mayor, the head of the Alaska Oil and Gas Commission and then governor as well as that being a mom. One great reason, she has a hubby who understands that it takes two parents to raise a family, not “a village”.
Sarah understands commitment to children and chose not to abort her youngest child even knowing that he was Down's syndrome. Wonder what Pelois would have done since she , against her churches teachings, advocates abortion at will. Sarah understands when life begins, Pelosi doesn't and has shown her lack of knowledge of Catholic upbringing by bouncing around the subject saying that someone said it began maybe in the third trimester. Unfortunately that was a church leader making the statement 1500 years ago and even then the church was teaching life was at conception.
Oh, Yes, Kathryn I can read (about 1800 wpm)and read very well and have an almost 99% comprehension of what I read for over 6 months even at that speed. I understand that the left will do anything possible to stop someone who has guts, values, and wants reform from being elected. The left wishes to continue to push the failed programs of the 60's down our throats and continue business as usual of taking from the earners and giving to the non-earners while allow corruption, earmarks to abound and put this country deeper into debt while calling for more taxes so they can spend more on useless , failed programs. The left does not like the fact that Sarah Palin and John McCain do not fall into this line of thinking and believe that “we the people” are better able to decide how to spend our money than the government.
I am sure that Sarah's children will be just fine, even the young lady who is expecting, because she has a family that is supportive and doesn't look at the child she is bearing as “a burden” as Obama so plainly stated he would feel if one of his girls became pregnant. You see Sarah's family understands that both Mom and Dad share equal roles in the raising of the kids, not the government, not the schools, just Mom and Dad and family. That is something that Nancy evidently does not understand given her voting record. Any more questions?

I'm with you . How in the world can she leave her baby like that for her daughters to raise knowing that he has health issues. This woman is the poster child for kid's needing sex ed . I mean look at what happned to her daughter and it's not that it can not happen to any one of us but when you haven't even given your child the proper info what did you think was going to happen. Now she wants me to put my family in her hands when she cann't even handle her own. Let's not even get into the fact that she is a lier. If I hear about that bridge to no where again I am going to kick in my own tv that is the biggest lie ever.
