The Truth About Palin, Africa and NAFTA

Go about 1/2 way down the page and tell congress what you would do about energy, the economy and health care. You have to give a response that says what you think would fix it after choosing one answer. You are required to give you first name, city and state............................http://www.congress.org/congressorg/hea dlines.tt

Thank you sir.

I realize I'm the mouthy sort, and it isn't that I was blown away by Palin's ideas or intellect. I just felt it got so unfair and nasty. I have come to like her more because of all the criticism. It made me read more about her.

I am especially offended by the attacks on her religion, just as I was on the attacks of Romney's religion. I also am very offended by the hillbilly attacks.

I am a hillbilly. People do not seem to get it just because you are in a trailor park or live back in the mountains doesn't mean you are ignorant. It does mean however, that perhaps your opportunities have not been he same, just as the opportunities for many African Americans in the inner cities have not been the same.

I don't ask that anyone agree with Palin. I don't even know that I do. I come from essentially the same religious background as she does. But am veered away. I am pro Choice, I believe in civil unions for all -- do not think marriage is the business of the state for either men and women, or for homosexuals.

So Palin is too far right for me, just as Obama is too far left.

At any rate a hearfelt appreciation for this positing, I am pleasantly surprised.

Thank you, I have to rethink some of the harsh tones I've taken in the past with you blog.

It seems to me that a lot of members of the GOP are trying to save something. Either their reputation, careers, necks etc. and most of them had some kind of associatioin with Palin. Now we all know that the woman is book dumb by all standards, but she is not totally stupid. The only people that are stupid, are the ones that are wanting her to run in 2012. Please america, stop egging her on and maybe, just maybe, she can go back into her igloo and stay there from now on.

I'm sure the Democratic party hopes Palin is the Republican candidate in 2012! Say it with me now...YES WE CAN...AGAIN 2012!

SARAH PALIN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. YOU
HAVE GOT TOT BE KIDDING. THE WOMAN IS
TOO IGNORANT. WHO WANTS AN IGNORANT
PRESIDENT. WE ALMOST GOT AN IGNORANT
VICE PRESIDENT. THANK YOU AMERICA FOR
YOUR PERCEPTION AND GOOD JUDGEMENT.
OBAMA/BIDEN*****************************

Now that the election is over could defending Sarah Palin and the trashing she took in our "tingling legs" biased Barack Obama infomercial media be an acknowledgement of such bias??? Nah....

What say you?

Respectfully,
Pete

Ok, Tommy Christopher. I'll give you credit here. It's about time "someone" starts setting the record straight about Sarah Palin. I'm kind of surprised it came from you, but thanks, you are actually a bit more mature than I thought. Now just leave her alone. Let her do what she does best - govern the state of Alaska into a brighter future as she has been doing so brilliantly for the last 2 years. Whoever wants to continue to post and ridicule her can go fly a kite (putting it mildly). You all seriously need to grow up and move on. You are all obsessed with her. The webster term of obsession means: persistent disturbing preoccupation with an often unreasonable idea or feeling. QUIT OBSESSING ABOUT HER. You all need to see a shrink or something. MOVE ON.

polly,

Tommy's tooting his own horn (so to speak) because he's coming to Palin's defense ONLY as regards the criticism that's been leveled at her from within her own party.

As soon as he disowns some of crap that was hurled at her by those on the left, we can perhaps consider his concerns for the "truth" and what's fair as being legitimate concerns for fairness and the truth.

To Sheila9901, MonicaC, Leothelion: I do know a good shrink, would you like their name and number? How about a URL??

as there are a lot of legitimate criticisms to be made, but I've found myself defending her a lot recently (Unlike, as the LA Times notes, McCain, or any other GOP leader save one). That's because legitimate criticism is weakened by dishonest or unfair attacks, and because it just isn't right.

Would that she had had your same scruples before she thought to call Obama a terrorist.

I'm as far from being a women's libber as they come, but even I realize the sexism that the media spewed in their treatment of Palin. It was ridiculous. Who questioned Michelle's wardrobe? Who questioned Obama about anything, including his experience? Palin is so far beyond Obama in experience that demonizing her is absolutely ridiculous...

2012? My vote is with Romney. We have just elected a socialist and need to get back to the true reasons this government was formed. It wasn't formed to give government handouts.

“ We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence,[1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. ”

Bob,

You're insight is correct. Thanks. I probably gave TC too much credit.

Sorry Sarah....But PayBacks ARE HELL! You were the first on with the onset of attack by saying things about Obama that weren't true. Things like "PALING AROUND WITH TERRORIST." If you would have taken the time to check things out before saying such trash..things may have been different for you and, yes, me.

I'm a register Republican, but have always voted for the person that I believed would do the BEST JOB, not just by party. You and Senator McCain lost my vote in the last month of the election BECAUSE of the unfounded lies YOU contributed to this election, and McCain knew were NOT true.......

Now you feel attacted because tales are being told about you, and you think it's "NOT FAIR." It's like the old saying goes, "WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND."

Eddy, Bill Ayers IS an unrepented terrorist, plenty of proof for that. And yes, his association goes WAY beyond "being on faculty with him" at the university. That was a blatant lie. Odinga is a radical (yes, some refer to him as a "terrorist") in Kenya, and there are videos of Obama rallying for Odinga's campaign with a loudspeaker IN KENYA in 2006. Odinga's followers were the cause of uproar/riots, and bloodshed--major bloodshed--when Odinga lost the election. Did Obama condemn that after he helped (diligently) with his campaign? NO. Prove one thing she said WASN'T true. Post it back here. Show it wasn't a lie. We'll see how legitimate it is.

"Stupidity and cowardice" are two words that apply well to people like you, Christopher. Some of the LIES you have printed about Palin were among the worst out there.

The Obama media spread lies about Palin to cover up Obama's lack of experience, his judgement and his associations. They never vetted their own candidate. Is it too early to start an impeach Obama movement yet?

Has it ever occured to anyone that she was brought in to do the work McCain would not? He boxed himself into this good guy image and looked flacid (throughout the campaign and during the debates).

why do people keep saying palin is more experienced than Obama...WHO CARES if she is or not....do people still really question whether she is qualified for the job of VP...NO she isn't....let me get this right, you think she could handle what Obama is doing right now....she had to be prepped 2 weeks before the debate and still wouldn't answer the moderator's question...so you think Sarah could go "toe to toe" with Obama on policy and knowledge of Foreign affairs...are you people for real...I don't care how experienced she is...she is knolwledgeable, CAPABLE, Presidential..or Vice Presidential...this is a joke...I don't want Joe and Jane Plumber running my country...I DON"T CARE HOW MUCH "small population" LITTLE STATE, experience they may have...

wheeewww this should be over...and i don't feel Sarah Palin should be blamed for this...John Mccain made this pick...and that's just how much he cared about our country!!!!
