You need to read and research more. One thing Palin is not is a joke. She's smart and you know it.
You're right... she's not a joke... she's a living NIGHTMARE that we all should be VERY, VERY afraid of. You think this country's in the shitter now ??? If the McInsane/Porkbarrel team makes it into office we can kiss this country as we know it goodbye forever. We can kiss our FREEDOM as we know it goodby forever, we can kiss the earth, the oceans, the air and the land, our wildlife and natural resources goodbye forever.
Give it a rest Hosenball. I badmouth you repeatedly and I too am a private citizen. You are dredging muck. Heh. You would need a MAYTAG washer the size of the Astrodome in order the wash all of that dirty laundry,eh Mark?
Good comment chrissr479. Been there...done that! Good Luck Sara!
The sage of the Palins and the Richters.
(this saga is based on PRESS reports and is provable - no one could create this tale, no one would have the guts to pass it off as fiction)
It's been said Mr Richter had an affair with Mrs. Palin. It's fact that Mr Richter recently had his divorce from Mrs Richter sealed. (What's he hiding?) Mrs Richter had an affair with Mr Bitner, an aide for Mrs Palin. Mrs Palin fired Mr Bitner. (following this?)
Oh, yes, Mr Richter owned a car wash in Wasilla. The Palins were minor with Mr Richter. In the past year or so, the corporation of Richter and Palin was involuntarily dissolved for failure to pay state taxes, have mandatory board meetings or file paper work with the State of Alaska Corporation Division. The letterhead from the state has, of course, the Governor's name on it. In fact, all actions by state agencies are done on the behalf of the Governor. So, it could be said the Mrs Palin dissolved her own company because she didn't do her legal obligations.
I guess, it could be said that Mr Richter got screwed twice by Mrs Palin, once literally, and once when she killed his business.
Speaking of not doing paperwork. While mayor of Wasilla Mrs Palin failed to sign the $127,000 earnest money agreement for property where the city built her pet project, the hockey rink. Because of her lack of following through, the property deal ended up in litigation and by the time the city finally got the land, it cost them over $1,200,000. Oh, the hockey rink/sports arena is losing money, not making money as she promoted while campaigning for the bond to finance the arena.
Can anyone explain HOW this sarcastic, right-wing ideologue and radical Pentecostal extremist will possibly be 'change we can believe in' for the US? Not Failure Party talking points, but real benefit for taxpayers and voters.
-She thinks Iraq is God's war. THAT's not change we can believe in.
-She wants to outlaw abortions. That will takes back, not forward. Women will again die from uterine infections after they have been sexually abused by their fathers. THAT's not change we can believe in.
-She 'inquired' into banning books at Wasilla's library enough times that Wasilla citizens formed a recall committee. THAT's not change we can believe in.
-She has 'governed' Alaska until it has the highest taxes AND highest spending per resident in the US. THAT's not change we can believe in.
(cont)
Scatterbrained Sarah!
She's home studying as we speak.
Man, she's got a lot of catching up to do.
SHE IS TROUBLE, ALSO SHE HATES GAYS. SEE THE ARTICLE IN ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS MINER ON HER CHURCH HAVING A ANTI GAY RALLY
It's sad really on how religion in America forgets history and the basis of this land being for 'ALL' people who wish to be free. Religion has always been and will always be the excuse for hatred and laws which in a non religious world would be seen as what they are, personal goals based on personal views. Keep religion OUT OF THIS ELECTION. Palin is taking away rights in the supposed name of her God. Read history and this reaks of other dictators and their reasoning behind destroying others. Enough is enough. The pulpit should not promote politics unless they are willing to give up their tax exemption status.
Whilst appearing to maintain her aura of "pitbull with lipstick" her record indicates that she's more of a "lapdog with bulls#*t" or taking her creationist, global warming, book burning - a "lapdog with batsh#*t".
Pitbulls are banned in most states ...aren't they?
Wonder why......hmmmmm
RE: Pitbulls are banned in most states... aren't they ? That's because Sarah Palin gives them a bad name !! Frankly.. .I don't think being compared to a pitbull is either flattering or something to be proud of. It just means she's a VICIOUS BITCH willing to rip our freedom and this country to shreds to push her bullshit religious agenda on people that HAVE common sense, morals/ethics and reason.
(Part 2 of 2)
-She claims she stopped the her buddy Ted Steven's Bridge to Nowhere to save the tax money, but she still got the money. THAT's not good.
-She was paid to run a campaign/committee for indicted Senator Ted Stevens. THAT's not good.
-She claims she fired the chef to save money, but she didn't. THAT's not good.
-She claims she 'sold that jet on eBay', but actually sold thru a broker, undervalue, to a campaign contributor. THAT's not good.
-She lies, she bullies, she supports McCain. THAT's not good.
-She's demonstrated she will sacrifice her 17 year old daughter to the national press to stop a newspaper inquiry about her suspicious behavior surrounding her pregnancy when she could have stopped the story MONTHS before by simply showing the child's birth certificate. THAT's not good.
-She thinks Fannie May & Freddie Mac were tax-payer funded, so she doesn't know what's going on with the mortgage crisis. THAT's not good.
Is there ANYTHING good this person can do? Oh, yeah, she's a pitbull with lipstick. That will help the partisan divide in our Congress. And she would be VP for a beligerant, lying, short-tempered PTSD-suffering 72 year old who once shoved a woman against the wall and then raised his arm to strike a oxygen dependent, wheel-chair bound women because they came to Congress to ask the former POW to help them find THEIR son & brother, who is STILL MIA.
This same POW who claims he will change Washington, but has surrounded himself with lobbyists. The same lobbyists who need to be driven from Washington. His economic advisor is the man who caused the mortgage crisis by de-regulating banking while a Senator.
HOW will McBush or Failin' Palin be good for our country? How, in G*d's name, can they be?!
--------------------
I was once taught "it takes the village to raise a child." I have since discovered 'it will take the nation to save our country'
VETERANS! This is a call from your nation once again. Please speak out. Tell the truth about John McCain and how he treats veterans. Your country needs you. We need you. Please send help.
A year from now, people will have completely forgotten the name of this year's Republican vice presidential candidate. She's a flash of temporary attention and that's it. We are not so stupid as to elect a president that is so feeble, he selects Ms. Palin as a running mate. Sarah who?
And we're not so stupid as to elect someone for President with less experience and actual production than the Republican VICE-President nominee. Obama wants income re-distrubution, name me one other state that is as tax beneficial to the residents than Alaska is. The argument that McCain/Palin is just more of the same is stupid. Change what? Obama what?
Don't belive this crap about goernment experience. Let;s talk about life expereince. Let's talk about education. Let's talk about improving our country - that means our "whole" country; not just the selfish Republican part of our country. McCain and Palin our shallow, self serving politicians. That's what they do and that's what they are. Inb many cases, so is Biden. But Obama is different. He stands for all of America, not just one political agenda. He can and will set our country on a course that will correct the absurdity of the last 8 years. McCain doesn't have the depth, the nerve or the gonads to do it. Palin is just a loud mouthed bully that will make more trouble. We need to change course. We need to adopt new thinking. McCain doesn't offer anything new. Go ahead and support him; I truly don't care. I know I am right and you are wrong. I won't fight about it because it isn't worth it. Your Republican candidates are losers and will not even become a footnote in history.
I love this argument! Palin's "experience" consists of perhaps 120 days of actual governing. The rest of the time she spent at her home and charged the state for it. And if you're going to say that "Moose Killin' Barbie" has more experience than either Obama or Biden, then she has more experience than Grampy McSame as well! But of course, that's not an argument the repugs are willing to make.
If she gets elected, it's going to be a 4 year Jerry Springer Show in the White House! Complete with a snowmobilin' 2nd Dude, a Beer Queen Heiress as 1st Lady, and a Pit Bull in Lipstick pulling all the strings for the Head Old White Guy in Charge.
That should really SHAKE UP WARSHINGTON!
It is interesting to me that Sarah doesn't mention that she and her family did not bring up any of the charges regarding the tasering of the child until years after the incident occurred. If she was truly concerned for the childs welfare, why not call them immediately? During the incident that she says her father was threatened, she went over to her sisters house, stood outside the house and "watched" the argument between her sister and brother in law. She even went and got a neighbor to come and watch with her. Then Sarah left. To get the police since she was in such fear for her sisters life? No, she had to go to a meeting. And that call to the police, she never made it. As for the moose that he killed without a tag, I think Sarah forgot to mention that she and her family and her dad ate the poached moose along with the sister and brother in law. Sarah, you got some splaining to do!
Individuals who have been tasered describe identifiable burn marks that last up to 3 weeks. Many require hospitalization afterwards.
The allegations that the trooper tasered a 10 year-old girl with 50,000 volts and nobody said or did anything about it at the time appears to be sheer nonsense. It just doesn't make any sense that no adult knew about it and, given the hostility of the divorce, that nobody pursued criminal charges.
If there were any substance to the allegations, the Barracuda would have had the trooper for lunch, and it would not have taken a couple of years later.
And if she did know about it and didn't take action for 2 years, then she has some real problems and those problems will soon be ours.
I agree Sarah Palin is a Fraud, she is Not Concerned for the well being of that Step Child, she's only Concerned in relations to, Todd & Sarah Palin and that Crazy sister of her's [Molly Hacket] which will soon be Revealed to the Nation....
17 Months they tried to Bully this man, to Fire Wooten, whose no Saint at all...
But if this was a Major Issue and Wooten was this Terror to the [Stepson] and the Community and her Father, as the Palin's 2 years later would suggest, why did'nt they do something about it, when it Happened and continued, until some Child Safety Agency Intervened or Resolved the Matter..Hmmm
17 months and Wooten still has his Job and was Disciplined and this is a Legal matter regarding Srah Palin, getting Access to Wooten's Police File, thats against State, City and Federal law....
How is she Not Abusing her Power...she's gone way Over that Threshold, for the last 17 Months.
In the end she will Dropout of this Race and another will take her place.
She's all Hype a Mythological "Annie Oakley"
These People are Too Damn Rural, Mountainous and Common Clay, for lack of a More discreptive term, to be in the White House.
Too Jerry Springer, To Maury Pouvich, Not Ready For Prime Time, Moreover the White House !!!
You think Bush Jr. was Something, Bush Jr. is Tame, Compared to the Palin's...
This would be a White House NightMare !!!!!
The Palin family continuously made written
complaints against the Trooper, even after
the judge ordered them to stop. That's the
evidence the judge reviewed.
there was evidence of the continuous complaints made
by Palin and her family, that's why the judge ordered them
to stop.
what a joke!Newsweek seems to gloss over the fact that the trooper in question ADMITTED to tasering his own son!No wonder that Mccain is rising in the polls,and the democratic party is in a panic.NObama 08.And keep the change
The article is about a politician,s abuse of power,it is not about criminial actions of the trooper that is another story.
I am a policeman and i have tazed my son and he liked it , and he tazed me also and without names because i see that the weidos of the right are watching
Yeah, I call BS.
What does tasering his son have to do with it? She wasn't going after him because of that at all, she was going after the Trooper because of her sister.
ANCHORAGE ??? Gov. Sarah Palin???s church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.
???You???ll be encouraged by the power of God???s love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality,??? according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has worshipped for about six years.
Palin???s conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain???s candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice. She is staunchly anti-abortion, even in cases of rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for gay couples.
Focus on the Family, a national Christian fundamentalist organization, is conducting the ???Love Won Out??? Conference in Anchorage, about 30 miles from Wasilla.
Palin, campaigning with McCain in the Midwest on Friday, has not publicly expressed a view on the so-called ???pray away the gay??? movement. Larry Kroon, senior pastor at Palin???s church, was not available to discuss the matter Friday, said a church worker who declined to give her name.
Gay activists in Alaska said Palin has not worked actively against their interests, but early in her administration she supported a bill to overrule a court decision to block state benefits for gay partners of public employees. At the time, less than one-half of 1 percent of state employees had applied for the benefits, which were ordered by a 2005 ruling by the Alaska Supreme Court.
Palin reversed her position and vetoed the bill after the state attorney general said it was unconstitutional. But her reluctant support didn???t win fans among Alaska???s gay population, said Scott Turner, a gay activist in Anchorage.
???Less than 1 percent of state employees would even apply for benefits, so why make a big deal out of such a small number???? he said.
???I think gay Republicans are going to run away??? if Palin supports efforts like the prayers to convert gays, said Wayne Besen, founder of the New York-based Truth Wins Out, a gay rights advocacy group.
I find it so funny how most of most of the bloggers are quick to jump and say Wooten tasered his ex stepson, even though we do not know any details of what actually happend. but these same ppl will defend Palin, saying its wrong to determine if she used her power to get certain ppl fired.
So my question is, why are you being a hypocrite?
Good to see there are some people on the blog that are not 'blinded' by all the shiny things that Palin is hiding behind. In this case, guilty before proven innocent based on likeability. Get real, Palins abuse of power is only matched by Cheny.
That goes to show the true caracter of Sarah Palin: lieng and smearing ordinary people.
It tells you alot about Palin's character. She thinks she's ready to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency, byet she can't even abide by the law, and follow the judge's orders. Abuse of power is a SERIOUS charge, especially for someone in her position, and I think it was a huge mistake for the McCain campaign to choose a running mate who may be guilty of such a disgraceful accusation. Guilty or not, she crossed the line by belittling Obama's communtiy service as some sort of joke, and unfortunately for her, Biden is going to school her on Presidential politics during the Vice Presidential debates. At that time, America will see that she is unprepared to be V.P., and that her knowledge of the duties of Vice President, will take more than just a 3 month crash course from McCcain's advisors. I have college Professors who are more qualified for her potential position than she is, only they're too smart to run on a Republican ticket.
Who is more qualified to be VP of the United States... a Governor with an approval rating in the high 70's or a Senator (with a current approval rating in the 13% range) who claims that his experience as a "community organizer" gives him the credentials to be President of the United States.
Just because my resume has me as a general manager of a 99 cent store, doesn't make me more qualified than the Manager of a Nordstroms in Hollywood. Get real. There a millions in this country that have more 'executive' experience than her if you go only by titles.
That community organizer has a law degree from Harvard University and was a law proferssor at the University of Chicago Law School. Do you know what the University of Chicago Law School holds? One of the highest concentrations of conservative nominees to the federal court system - it is a bastion of the Federalist Law Society, you should be proud of the fact that they thought so highly of Obama that they hired him to teach there. I think if one of the most conservative law schools in the country hired him to teach constitutional law, that should more than qualified enough for the likes of you.
Is this the only thing you, NEWSWEAK, could find to slime Sarah Palin? If my family were receiving death threats from this rogue police officer, I would have something disparaging to say about him, and so would you. Why don't you come back to the lower 48, and leave these decent people alone!
Oh please !! Is there any PROOF that ANY threats were made ??? When I actually HEAR a taperecording of a threat I'll believe it. Until then it's just her and her families "allegations". Not TRUTHS... .ALLEGATIONS and most likely vindictive. libelous LIES. We already know from all the dirt dug up on this warthog that she is a vindictive bitch who will stop and nothing and stoop as low as she needs to .
Palin can't even take a judge's orders seriously, and she wants to be V.P.???
She thinks she is above the law, she is dead wrong. After 8 years of a criminal administration, no thanks.
We need to re-establish a sense of decency in the White House, McCain and Palin have proven to be incapable of accomplishing such a task. There are still 2 months left, and already they have run a shameful campaign of lies and smear tactics. America is watching, and the polls mean jack squat, Obama will win the battleground states, and the election. Not because he is the most qualified, but because America knows he will restore our world image, and end the illegal war in Iraq. To simple minded idiots who enjoy attacking poverty stricken nations, that's surrendering. To the sane minded, it's called doing the right thing. McCain/Palin will do what is profitable, regardless of the negative impact on our reputation. The poor will get poorer, and the rich will get richer, and frankly, that just isn't going to fly this time around. The Republicans have destroyed everything they've touched in the past 8 years, the last thing they deserve is another chance.
I will be voting for America when I cast my ballot for Obama/Biden.
