Did anyone bother to fact check Palin's claim to fame that she was against the "bridge to nowhere", thus cementing her own "maverick" status? In a stunning Kerryesque flipflop, she was all for the bridge, before she was against it. Where's that damn liberal media when you need 'em? Oh...here they are: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26486063/Fish on... Todd

Blue water pro, You sound like a guy I would like to fish with.
I can't believe the whining and crying out of the Dems. "It's not fair! He only picked a woman because BO didn't". Well tough crap! BO could have picked anyone he wanted and who did he pick? A good old boy from Washington with a bad hair do.
Gotta love those Dems. they know how to lose!

Seems that Palin was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party before being govenor. Nice bunch of folks. Here's what their founder, John Vogler, has to say: I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions. I'm not so sure that's the kind of reform we were looking for.

I wonder how old and how idealistic she was at the time and why she changed affiliation. If she signed up with Ron Paul, whos supporters were attacking police and destroying property today, while wearing masks, I would agree with you. Harley, have you called William Ayers to see what kind of reforms that he wants Obama to make? Check out his quotes on terrorism. Obama announced in Ayers home. They have also worked together. Have you called to find out, what kind of reforms Jeremiah Wright wants Obama to make? How much money would you like to spend on gasoline for the next four years?

The ultimate would be if ALL sportsmen and environmentalists could get on the same page and be a force for nature, the environment and sportsman's issues. Hunters, fishermen, nature lovers and tree huggers. That indeed would be utopia. Unfortunatley it will never happen. Thats because the up front " Guns forever " jack asses have nothing in common with the avg American sportsman. You all know the type.. that fat guy at your office who sits in the lunch room with the latest copy of " Tactical Combat Fever" magazine.. and God help you if that boring S.O.B happens to come sit by you and start talking about the new .. or better yet.. improved .762.0088 Cracken Boomer Splitten Hymer full auto self cleaning wonder blaster, just because he happens to know you hunt and own a few guns. This worthless turd has more chance of shooting himself than any deer that ever lived in the woods, yet he is the face of the NRA. A few weeks ago, a group of about 30 of these type douche bags showed up at the local zoo down at the city park and had what they called a " pack in " for " solidarity". In effect, they all showed up at the zoo packing heat ( it was funny as hell, several of them had pistols with scopes mounted on them in shoulder rigs .. and a couple of guys were actually packing two pistols at once ) They all were a bunch of redneck type dick weeds and I don't think there was a sportsman in the bunch. Of course they managed to get themselves on the news.. and make the gun owners they proclaim to represent look like assholes. We have them where I work also, along with the blow hard gasbags that repeat everything they hear on Rush and think it is the truth. I don't care for extreamist on either side. The left wing blow hards like MSNBC are no better than those on FOX. Neither is "fair and Ballanced" both sides have their own agenda and promote it. Is there anyone reading this thread that will change their vote because of any argument that has been made? I dobut it.

I read up a bit on the "firing scandal". Apparently what it stems from is that the governor's ex-brother-in-law made threats to kill her dad, and had the means to do so. If a trooper made threats to kill Gregoire's dad (not sure if he is alive still, as she's pretty old ) and she pushed for said trooper's firing, and a public official balked at that, what would folks say about that public official? A trooper investigation showed that the ex-brother-in-law did indeed make those threats. The public official that was fired also had some additional personal issues. If that is the worst that they can come up with, or her husband's 20+ year old DUI, or her pregnant daughter.....????

How much money would you like to spend on gasoline for the next four years?
Lead Eater: You're going to have to do better than that here.................. We ALREADY know Obama: 1. Wasn't born in this country 2. Went to school in a madrassa. 3. Has a radical islamic background, combined with a soft spot for terrorists. 4. Is likely the anti christ 5. Is a socialist who lives to raise your taxes 6.Eats live children for snacks (but to be honest, I made that up. Obama doesn't do that, Dick Cheney does) 7. Doesn't wear a flag pin. 8. Was sworn in on a Koran 9. Did I mention the flag pin ? 10. Or the swearing in on the Koran ? 11. Associates with racist and Anti american Pastors 12. Never ending lack of judement. 13. Association with Bill Ayers. I'm sure this list will expand.....

I guess that the sex education they receive in Alaska is Abstinence Only education, nothing about pregnancy prevention. I see that didn’t work very well. It is kind of funny that McCain had only met her once and from that meeting he was able to determine she would make a great V.P. Kind of like Bush looking in Vladimir Putin’s eyes and being able to see his soul and deciding that he was a decent person (not a former KGB officer). Time will tell if she will stick it out. National politics is a lot dirtier than state politics. I bet if she drops out McCain is sunk for sure, another questionable decision by a man that may be to old to be president.

I'm not real big into religion either, so I'll put a big -1 next to both her and Obama's name. They cancel each other out there.

I'd say it's a lot worse on the Palin front, by a factor of 10, at least.
She's a card carrying member of the Apocalyptic Lunatic Fringe of the Christian Coaltion...the ones that think we ought to utterly use the world into dust, since we'll all be experiencing Rapture here pretty darn quick...no use in letting it go to waste, I mean, we can't take it with us, right?
It's one thing to believe in God...fine. It's another thing to be part of an organized religion, whose first goal is try and remove as much spirituality as possible and turn it into a power and money game, right from the get go.
It's even worse when you're an arrogant enough prick (or prickette) to think that your radical views are actually those of God, and that you're on some sort of heavenly mission, not only sanctioned by God, but actually commanded by him to do it.
That's George Bush, and that's why little things like facts and logic play very little roles in decisionmaking...it gives you the luxury of acting from the gut, rather than having to think, or consider consequences, or any other difficult things like that.
It's also Sarah Palin.
That's why I was saying within hours of her being picked by McSame that rather than catering to the center to try and steal Hillary voters with someone like Hutchison, he instead when full sail the other way and picked a lunatic, in order to kowtow to the lunatic fringe...the Christian right.
Fish on...

I dunno...I'll have to see her naked before deciding. I'm pretty sure I don't want to see Biden naked.
Fish on...

I guess that the sex education they receive in Alaska is Abstinence Only education, nothing about pregnancy prevention. I can't wait until someone asks Palin about the current STD epidemic in the US. Apparently, unprotected sex with 17 year olds is cool in her book. Must be "God's Will".

I know your kind of a computer geek, but I would guess you probably at least nailed a few Fatties when you were 17.. Did you always wear a rubber or think about safe sex.. I was lucky to think about what the girls name was before I tried for a Home run.
