Sliming Palin

the real scary thing about this ticket is that she is uniformed of policy. she has to be a quick study if this ticket wins... & all this time repblicans been saying "NO ON THE JOB TRAINNING"??? since she said yes to this position i assume she aggrees w/ McCain on most issues except for her extreme ideas of her own..

.

It is her husband that was a member of the Alaska Independents; she gave a keynote address. And on the librarian example of Palin's extremism, ABC did an investigation and in the report you will find this:

ROSS: Around the time Palin became mayor, [Palin's] church and other conservative Christians began to focus on certain books available in local stores and in the town library, including one called "Go Ask Alice," and another one written by a local pastor, Howard Bess, called "Pastor, I am Gay."


BESS: This whole thing of controlling, you know, information, censorship, yeah. That's a part of the scene.


ROSS: Not long after taking office, Palin raised the issue at a city council meeting of how books might be banned according to news accounts and a local resident, a Democrat, who was there.


ANNE KILKENNY: Mayor Palin asked the librarian, what is your response if I ask you to remove some books from the collection of the Wasilla Public Library?


ROSS: The Wasilla librarian, Mary Ellen Edmonds, the then president of the Alaska Library Association, responded with only a short hesitation.


KILKENNY: The librarian took a deep breath and said, the books in the collection were purchased in accordance with national standards and professional guidelines, and I would absolutely not allow you to remove any books from the collection.

"A few weeks after the council meeting, the mayor fired the librarian, although she was reinstated after a community uproar," Ross reported. "The Wasilla librarian, Mary Ellen Edmonds, left two years later, and according to friends, because it was just too hard working for Sarah Palin."

Thank goodness people are paying attention to the lies coming out of mccain camp. Also why does he have to read from a script on the podium so much?. If you are speaking the truth about how the country is doing why do you need a script to describe it? I'll tell you , because he is not hurting in any category so how can he help us the american people.

ENOUGH! We are getting tired of Sarah Palin's saga. She is not a Hillary Clinton. She is a pretty face with a lot of guts and no experience whatsoever. The more they talk about her the more benefit to the GOP. Focus on the issues and on the primary candidates and leave the celebrity for free that she has obtained. Lately on the McCain campaign he just listens and applaud. That's scary!

There is no "both sides" to Evolution and how can anyone call Creationism a science as you quoted? Do we teach the "other side" to gravity or that the Earth revolves around the Sun? She can teach creation all she wants - where it belongs - in church - it doesn't belong in our schools no matter what they call it. No wonder our kids are so low compared to the rest of the world when it comes to science and math.

I Love it when liberals post stupid comments. It's better than reading the comic strips. Keep 'em coming. We need a good laugh in todays serious world.

Wow, democrats are really crawling in the sewer now. Geez people, get come class.

What about the "rumors" that are true??? Omission of the truth is equal to deceit!!! So, when is Newsweek planning on merging with The National Inquirer?

How about posting what rumors Newsweek found to be true and disconcerting??? Omission of truth is the equivalent of deceit. When are you guys planning to merge with People Magazine?

Let the Republican B.S. artists fight there own battles. Who's behind this site? Who's behind Newsweek? Card carrying Republicans. Mystery solved. Yeah. Let' have 4 more years of $4.00 gas and no real push for the future. Let the$4.00 gas improve the economies of our enemies, while American slowly goes broke. Yeah, drill baby drill. Morons.

okay the sob story of McCain got to some ppl
Okay the first women VP is exciting for some
but when has being a member of the PTA a qualification ?
being a snowmobile rider a qualification?
this ticket is so shallow..................

I see three ???endgame??? outcomes???.

1. The investigation will end up as a ???Kangeroo Court??? resulting in the censure of Gov. Palin along with a fine and possible impeachment (threat of one or actually doing one). Wether they???ll do it (or drop it after the election if McCain/Palin lose the November election) is another matter.

If they do this, it will set off (IMO) a firestorm with Alaskan voters (Palin has an approval rating of 82%) who might very well demand recalls and investigations on the investigators (or trounce them in the next election).

Palin Investigating board members Elton, French, Davis, Hoffman, and Guttenberg (members who have been recently outted as being Obama supporters....July 30th photo showing them at an Obama meeting in Alaska) must know they???re sitting on a potential powderkeg now that Palin is a VP pick. A lot of ???big guns??? will be trolling around, perhaps even trying to dig info/dirt on them. The Palins have ???lawyered up??? and are setting up for a fight. Therefore, I can only imagine how far they can ???push this???.

2. The investigation will digg up nothering (per se), but will issue a report saying that Gov. Palin is ???technially??? innocent, but abused her power (aka: bullied Monegan). Perhaps a verbal ???slap on the wrist??? for Palin or a censure.

I think this is a possible outcome. It gives the Palin detractors their ???pound of flesh???, embarasses the VP pick, gives the MSM and the Obama camp ???bullet points???, but won???t trip a ???nuclear response??? (IMO) from the public.

3. McCain and Palin (along with the blogger, Palin supporters, and Alaskan citizens) wage a nasty fight over this and play some serious hardball. Palin has struck a chord with the public and the constant attacks over the past two weeks have made a lot of people cynical at the press/detractors. She has garnered, as they in politics, a coating a teflon.

The ???troopergate??? could find itself backing down as key members of the investigation have been ???outted??? as Obama supporters. Also, the inflamitory remarks made by Hollis French (???October Surprise???, ???damaging to the Gov???, possible ???impeachement???) to the press (before any depositions were taken or before any fact-finding was done) have tainted the proceedings.

Of course Palin didn't cut funding for special needs children, once she knew she had one. Note the date of when she signed the legistation. Its pretty clear she considers public funds as her own personal 'piggy' bank. Her sugar daddy is Uncle Sam and the people of Alaska.
