You Said She Shouldn't But Sarah Palin Did It Anyway

I think Palin is a freak show, all by herself. She does not need any "help" one way or another from commercial sources. However, in a democracy, everyone should be fully informed -- so, whatever it takes to reveal the true person to all voters is OK with me.

I could not watch SNL but after all of the hoopla about her being on the show I did decide that the reason Palin and McCain identifying with “Joe the plumber” like they do is obvious Joe deals in the area of human waist and Palin is human waist and deserves to be treated as such .To think that the people of this country should listen to her and entrust are well being into her hands as a steward of us and are children and the world is revolting sick and twisted

Palin was AWESOME on the show, she has alot of class and showed it.

All you Palin haters are sick.

Nice Job Sarah!

Am I the only one that thought that Palin sat there while being made fun of the whole time? It's one thing to be part of the joke- it's another to BE the joke and not know it....

As an Obama supporter I thoroughly enjoyed Gov. Palin's performance. I have witnessed an unprecedented level of catty comments on Palin, most of them unsubstantiated. I found her ability to take comedic shots left her looking superior. While her appearance did little to sway her liberal haters it was a television success! In the world of popularity contests she is cementing her image as political rock star, and Americans LUV rock stars...

FULL DISCLOSURE. WHO IS SIGNATOR: OBAMA'S FRIEND, CONFIDANT, LOVER? The media has persecuted everyone associated with this campaign, even those not connected with the campaign, like Joe the Plumber. SO WHY THE SILENCE FROM OBAMA? IS THIS MAN HIS DRUGDEALER? HIS GAY LOVER? (Both of those conjectures have been fully revealed by bloggers seeking the truth.) Of course, you won't see these questions posed by the media to OBAMA, because he's "The One" and not to be investigated, questioned or even spoken to directly. Obama is too important, and too FAR ABOVE THE PUBLIC - FAR SUPERIOR TO HIS FELLOW PUBLIC SERVANTS to be so humanely examined. Butl on the other hand, it's just fine for Obama, the media, the sick sycophant bloggers to try to harm a woman of courage and conviction - a family woman, a loving mother, a HUGELY popular governor (imagine an elected official who has maintained their integrity while garnering 80 PERCENT of their public's approval). Silly me......... INTEGRITY IS A WORD NEVER ASSOCIATED WITH OBAMA

The arrogance protrayed in a couple of these comments and those displayed by the MSM are amazing. It is no wonder that nobody with half a brain trusts the media any more. The real arrogance is displayed when nitwits in the MSM some how believe that it is Sarah Palin's responsibility to be subjected to the mindless twits inhabiting much of the MSM. Where I come from, if you speak bad about me (and my friends) before you even know me I'd be a whole lot more likely to avoid you that embrace you.

"The Borgen Project has some good info on the cost of addressing global poverty.
$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.
$540 billion: Annual U.S. Defense Budget."

Here's a depressing thought: My niece, who earned a BA degree in hospitality managment from Virginia Tech, has far higher educational achievments than the Republican VP Candidate!

When Palin loses, look for her on the Spice Channel, not Saturday Night Live. She's about as bright as your average porn star.

"Where I come from, if you speak bad about me (and my friends) before you even know me I'd be a whole lot more likely to avoid you that embrace you." So why did Palin go on a show where she's been lampooned in the past, and where she was mercilessly insulted to her face, rather than go on political talk shows where they just ask her questions?

While I am not a Palin supporter, I give her high marks for appearing on the show. It gave her exposure, and she looked dignified and kept her cool. It was a funny sketch. Tina Fey is amazing at lampooning Palin, and it appeared that Palin managed it well. Didn't change my vote though. But still, I credit her for doing SNL.

I trust Alec Baldwin when he said of Palin, "you're even hotter in person!"

The camera loves Sarah Palin. She should go back to local sports or weather or whatever it was she was doing before she thought she'd give government work a try.

(I was really hoping she'd be in a MacGruber! segment...)

Hey, C=dav, learn how to spell!! Human waste, not waist. Our, are. If you are trying to prove someone to be trash, you just did a great job convincing readers that you are just that!

I thought Ms. Palin was a natural on the show. She looked great and delivered her lines with ease. Maybe when this politics thing is a done deal she could probably join the show.
Now that this has been said. Ms. Palin has been on the campaign trail stating that Sen. Obama pals around with terrorist when she sleeps with a man who was part of a group that wanted Alaska to break away from the US. She herself as the popular Governor that she is, delivered an address to the Alaska Independence Party most recently as June.
So the question is, who is more un-American? Why isn't this being reported in the media? Why isn't Obama not bringing this up? BECAUSE IT IS NOT IMPORTANT!!!
Someone mentioned integrity?? Come on, where is the integrity and the REAL courage being shown by the McCain campaign?

The scary thing was when I turned it back (I changed the channel after the intro and turned it back about 45mins later).. when I turned it back I saw them rapping and I couldn't tell if it were Tina or Sarah.

Gov. Palin can do the show again--as Vice President-- and say she owes it all to Fey.

Palin said on Sat Nite Live, roughly, "thats not how I would run my press conference". DUH, she hasn't had a press conference yet!

Seal the Deal! VOTE!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

seeing snl changed my mind, i am now voting for McCain/Palin.

DemocratforPeace - you're not paying attention. He's THAT ONE.

BB

Here's a "crazy" thought: Perhaps since Palin is running for Vice President, she should conduct some serious interviews (not informericals on Fox) before she starts stumbling through comedy sketches?

Perhaps my priorities are messed up.

Here lies the real Sarah Palin

http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Troopergate_Palin_lies_and_videotape

According to the new this was the most watched SNL; of course the Palin followers wants to make us believe that she has stirred the GOP masses, reason for the large SNL TV audience.

I see things different, Palin is a parody , just as the circus brings in the crowds for its oddity and laughs,the same could be applied to Palin's SNL large viewing. If you noticed the body language specially the facial expression she looked uncomfortable and that plastered sardonic smile was a winner...

Given the fact she doesn't do unscripted appearances well, I give her credit for the show.

Like the Al Smith dinner, politicians who can poke fun at themselves, or allow others to, show a humanity and a sense of humor that doesn't show on the campaign circuit.

This has been a tough year for McCain and Palin because of Obama's race. They had to walk on eggshells throughout the campaign, although they broke a few in the process.

I personally wouldn't vote for Palin for dogcatcher, and this may have been the highlight of her campaign. Nonetheless, it's time she was out there, and any time you take a risk, you should be commended.

This could have been close, but McCain has run the most unprincipled, erratic campaign that it'll be a textbook case. And Palin was part of this.

*******Sarah Palin is "Freak Show" & She is Anti-American!!!!!!!!!!!!1

What is with this "Anti-American" talk coming from the Republican ticket all about when Sarah Palin and her husband have had deep association with the AIP (Alaska Independence Party)?

The party wants Alaska to be its' own country, totally separate from the United States. Can you get any more "Anti-American" than that?

"seeing snl changed my mind, i am now voting for McCain/Palin.

Yeah Right! you're an idiot too! That's like saying, I watch Mr. Kangroo ever saturday and I write in my vote for Mr. Green Jeans every presidential election. What a moron!

PEOPLE! What is the matter with you? Mary Ann is missing the point... and some did mention it. This lipstick woman REFUSES to attend REAL reporters and talk shows (unless they are orchestrated by the McCain campain)... but she easily and quickly attends a SNL skit! Anyone supporting McCain and these half-wits idiots HAVE to be idiots themselves. If you can't get it... stay out of politics and go back to your Oprah and Reality TV shows and BE QUIET!

Who would vote for this woman? Why does the GOP think that Palin will be a viable candidate in 2012? I find her offensive and nasty...she is a racist and a bigot..as a woman and a BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, I would never vote for her...what kind of precedent are we, as Christians setting, when we will destroy OUR values by endorsing a person that is a liar, and who has no respect for people who do not look or sound as she does..."the REAL Virginia, terrorist and anti-American", indeed!!!!

It's pretty sad that Palin doesn't know she IS the joke.

That takes brains, and she doesn't have any.

Obama-Biden 08/12!!

oh, i think she knew she was the joke. she had that look on her face, and her body language showed it. But she bucked up, bit her tongue and played the game. I'm sure she did it for points, which she got. I'm as anti Palin as they come, but she did as good of a job without making herself look more the idiot as she could. Obviously quite comfortable in the news reporters chair. Wish she'd stick to that.

I think the WASTE is you education. And to those who question her intellegence, Could you please ask Obama how many states are in the US again? Uhmmm like 57? Ask Biden how many letters are in the word JOBS? Oh thats a 3 letter word. I love all the misinformed or down right ignorant people who post on the internet.

I cannot believe how liberals which by definition would mean free are sooo biased and hateful. No one's telling them how to live and what to do, so why do they feel so much hate for someone who wants to think and live their own way?

I think it's fine for politicians to take a moment for some levity. Generally, however, they stay on their side of the line-not becoming entertainers themselves. With Palin it was sometimes difficult to tell. Most worrisome, it appeared that she either didn't care, or worse yet couldn't tell, that we were not laughing WITH her. We were laughing AT her.

What hate...what intolerance!! You people would probably like it better if Palin had 3 abortions, 2 divorces, implants, had been in drug rehab....and although she already has governed a state, you still wouldn't like her. You people are so hateful yet so forgiving of sex and drug driven Hollywood personalities with no talent like ignorant Matt Damon talking about dinosaurs which has nothing to do with the issues....DUH! There is no open acceptance of your fellow Americans anymore. My God, what has happened to people to be so judgemental and hateful?

I tuned in because I thought that she will show more of herself, but not even a teta ...boring.

Why does Dinah hate English sentence structure? =(

Sara definitely has talent. She has the talent to be a mediocre stand up comic. A stand up comic can misquote and make any statement about anyone and if the punch line is good we laugh and do not consider the lie s as lies, just comedic fun because a comic is just trying to get a laugh. But do we want someone who uses the comic's approach of saying anything, lying, misquoting and winking to seduce you into giving her power to control your life as your President? What are the odds for 73 yr. McCain lasting 4 years with a history of malignant cancer.

The Republicans gave Lorne Michaels a gift for SNL's 33rd birthday - Sarah Palin. I haven't laughed so hard since Dan Ackroyd did "Ask President Carter."

s=dav: I can see why you're voting for BHO, you passed the ignorant test. If you're going to post comments, at least go back to school and learn some proper grammar. It is so true that the less educated tend to vote Dumocratic, as they want the Government to think for them and not have to be responsible for their own actions. Losers vote for BHO.

Earth to Sarah, earth to Sarah...they were laughing at you, not with you. You are a bad joke.

so, who cares how Palin did on SNL? Will that help her be a good VP? Does it add to her credentials? The republicans found someone they could 'package' and sell to the public, while they keep doing business as usual. (McCain: 'I don't care about a washed-up terrorist'...but then can't stop talking about him).
Palin is the Wizard of OZ for the republicans...they don't want you to look behind the cutain....and I may be giving her too much credit as the wizard...

After reading the vicious comments about Sarah Palin, noting that they come from BO supporters, I'm more convinced than ever before that BO and his supporters are not ... NOT ... the people I want representing the country thousands of us have fought to protect. They reflect trash, garbage, the worst character of human beings, with empty heads. Appropriate for an unknown, absentee senator in an empty suit. Joe Biden had it right, this unknown (if he steals the office of Commander in Chief) will be tested by those who envy USA and have NO plan to create a strong, vibrant, free society of their own. God save your children.

You folks are so biased, it's almost laughable. Anything Obama does wrong is either omitted from the news, or distorted to sound batter than the truth. Anything Palin does is treated with disdain no matter what it is. Maybe, the real October surprise will finally be covered by the mainstream media. If you want a heads up on Obama's eligibility for office, watch this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA6_k3NtXZs

Jake & Barbara....you are so right. I know so much about both parties, but have to think of the welfare of the country and that means ALL us. I've checked that link and have seen it before. For some reason the media is just blind to facts as if there is pressure for them to do so. That scares me even more. I'm retired from a nuclear power facility. My background got checked before hiring. If I had the associations that OB had, I never would have got my job....let alone him run a country. Oh my God!! I think a lot of people choose to be blind to the information out there or else they are too lazy to read and be informed. The old adage is true: "There's none so blind as those who cannot see". Pray for this country.

seeing snl changed my mind, i am now voting for McCain/Palin.

----------------------------------------
Making such an important decision based on her appearance on SNL??
Your genes are really scraping the bottom of the pool!

Caribou Barbie...I had not heard that before. That's hysterical! History texts can note that once upon a time there was an unsuccessful presidential ticket with Caribou Barbie from Wasilla. Trivial pursuit question in the 2050 edition.

She has nothing left IN THIS RACE but her 15 minutes.

Why not take it.

name branding/ FREE PUBLICITY
dont care what they say... just spell my name right.

.... and she can maybe get some commercial work later.

"The Borgen Project has some good info on the cost of addressing global poverty.
$30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.
$540 billion: Annual U.S. Defense Budget."

First one has to ask, "Why?" If Palin had established some form of credibility before she went on the show, then the appearance might seem cute and funny. But she hasn't so the appearance just made her look like a pawn in SNL's game, kind of lame and silly. Palin was a sitting duck in a shooting gallery, very fitting, I thought. I loved the rap, and I loved the Democratic commercials every two seconds. It wasn't her audience and the whole thing left us all scratching our heads. No folks, no dignity here.

The McCain of 2000 and even 2004 I would have voted for in a millisecond. McCain circa 2008? I can't.

If McCain's terrible campaign has left me dismayed and frustrated, the media's behavior has me angry. First, it was the collective free-for-all and subsequent piling on of Sarah Palin. I'll concede this much- McCain should have selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty or former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee for his VP. At two years into her first statewide office, Palin simply doesn't have enough political experience and acumen to deal with an unfriendly and predatory media looking for any single sliver of anything that can be blown up into a headline grabbing controversy. She obviously needs more seasoning and fleshing out of the issues and how to project them- no doubt about it. After the election, I believe she needs to go back to Alaska, gain more experience, give speeches (I can't imagine that she wouldn't be a surefire asset in fundraising), refine her political persona, tone down the folksy talk a bit, get elected for a second term, and then she'd be set up nicely for 2016.

And then there's Joe the Plumber. Here's where I believe the predatory media has long since crossed the line. Remember, all this guy did was express his opinion to Senator Obama on taxes. Yes, I don't think John McCain has done him many favors but that still doesn't justify the outrageous conduct of the media in the way that this guy has been vilified and slandered by some on the left. The guy's life has been turned totally upside down and then some simply because he expressed an opinion. This is chilling and should concern anyone who believes in the independent free flow of differing views and opinions. Because we all know that if someone express an opinion that's counter to yours, not only do you attack the person in question to discredit him but you also try to destroy him.

If you really thinking about it, it's chilling. George Orwell has nothing on our brave new world in 2008. Independent thinkers beware

Aww, at first I was uneasy, but Sarah took it all in stride. The rapping sketch with the moose had me rolling on the floor laughing. We haven't had enough humor in this campaign. Anybody who can laugh at herself gets my vote!

Michelle Obama had a hard time adjusting to the media spotlight, too! Give both of them a break.

Nothing against Obama/Biden, except that they want to redistribute the wealth. Hmmm... I've worked hard for my money, haven't you? I can invest it far better than the government can.

Biden voted against the first Gulf War. Now he's hinting about trouble brewing in the world... Explain yourself. Another conspiracy theory? Sigh. Democrats, please quit shooting yourselves in the foot. And get over 2000 and '04!

Keep America safe from Day One -- Vote McCain/Palin!

Swamp Pirate, McCain has been bamboozled by his media handlers this time around.

But underneath it all, he's still the guy we knew and loved. The media and Dems have done their best to jump all over every decision, while Obama has gotten a free pass on associating with a hate-mongering "minister" for 20 years, among many others.

Just look at McCain's record of bringing results such as campaign finance reform and saving you money on earmarks. Finally, there's his amazing choice in the POW camp of letting fairness rather than his own survival make the decision about going home. He served his country first then and that is still who he is. People don't fundamentally change over time.

OK, he gets angry about issues, but who doesn't? Both Clintons are famous for their battles with each other and close friends. Does that mean they screwed up completely? No. They got us to at least consider health care reform and Clinton forced Congress to pass welfare reform, the best law in the past 30 years or so.

I hope you'll reconsider and stick with what you know to be true. Obama is not ready yet; McCain is. The presidency isn't for newbies.

Here's some videos of Palin at her best.

http://www.dillardsisters.com

I highly resent Palin's recent comments that 'real' America is only in the little towns that support her and McBush. Obviously, she will not be a leader for the rest of us, should she become the VP, or God help us, the president. She will only be the presdident of those who she likes, and diversity freedom of religion in America be damned. What about teachers teaching our kids in the bigger cities, the nurses caring for the sick in those same areas. And who were those in NYC who were killed, unreal Americans? They must have deserved what happened to them because they are not of small town real America. If they are not of real America, why in H... did we go and attack Iraq? Didn't Osama Binladen do the real America a favore. SHAME ON PALIN.
She's going to lead us/me. NEVER. Palin, what are you going to do about all these unreal Americans? Send them to Mexico with the immigrants, or to Europe? Lock 'em up until they change theire belief's and opinions? You don't want us in your real America do you? Americans do not need/want Palin's brand of government!

While I was working in Los Angeles, I had many opportunities to work closely to some of the television productions of various celebrities. We don't refer to Hollywood as Hollywood, but rather, we call it "Holly-weird". Over 80% of West Hollywood is homosexual in their sexual orientation, or this is what I have been told many times.

Personally, I can not understand why any politician would allow themselves to be the focal point of derision on SNL, let alone make a personal appearance there. A vast majority of the actors guild are left wing bleeding heart liberals who are so involved in themselves that they couldn't make an intelligent choice in any political forum.

I Quote:

"....God help us, the president. She will only be the presdident of those who she likes, and diversity freedom of religion in America be damned."

Your obvious lack of understanding of holy scripture is apparent to those of us who study the Word of God. In supporting Obama, you have in affect cast off any hope of God helping you! Your religion is vain and empty.

Obama is a man who has a spirit of deception and he is a seducer of men (women included). Never before, in my sixty years of life, have I seen a man who more closely conforms to the description afforded us in the Holy Word of God, as those characteristics which we will find in the "anti-Christ".

Adolf Hitler died before I was born, but history reveals that he was a form of the "anti-christ", but he was not the man of evil foretold by the Word of God.

Savor your time, that which you have left. Walk in your dillusional euphoria that comes with only a tacit committment to your religious beleifs, but you are indeed spiritually blind and are being seduced by a man who will bring this nation under the full wrath and judgement of the Living God who created all things.

For this nation is no longer a "Christian nation", which once enjoyed the blessings and protection of the Lord God Jehovah. For as a people, you have cast off the cover of His protection and blessings.

You think that you discern the times in which you live, but in truth, you are blind. Obama is your "political messiah", for you have foresaken the true messiah, my Lord and King, Christ Jesus. Many of you follow after the doctrine of devils, for your thoughts are only of self. This jackal in sheeps clothing has seduced you all. How very sad indeed that you trade your liberties in Christ Jesus, to render obeiance to this servant of the prince of darkness!

Hey all you Sarah bashers, Dumocrats, uninformed and SNL watchers, you fail to realize that SNL had the absolute highest ratings when Sarah was there. That says something more than you can say. Ignorance is bliss, so can't blame you for not knowing her accomplishments. She happens to be the ONLY candidate who ever governed a State. In fact she has more experience than Obama. So say what you want and I'm sure you will, but the facts bear the truth. Don't hate her cause she's smart and beautiful. Feminist women hate her for having it all. Most normal women celebrate her. Don't worry, be happy.....LOL

Will the Secret Service
read Jordan's letter?

In the words of Betty Davis, "fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride "

As demonstrated on SNL, you've got rhythm Sarah. If this gig does not work out, your talents/skills can transfer into the hip-hop world.

Just think, you have the potential of taking the vice presidential role into new heights. Congrats.

Ahhhh, listen to the frantic whines of the Grand OLD Party of EXCLUSION! Boo, hoo, how come Obama gets away with everything while our candidates are abused relentlessly. Pay back by the American people for the last 8 years you MORONS! Palin did okay on SNL. The spite that was hanging in the air didn't phase her one bit. She isn't very empathetic is she?

Where is that pitbull that we were all told about? Or is that just another fairy tale?

There you go again Jordan. The politics of EXCLUSION. Oh, and I like your little disclaimer about the percentage of homosexuals in Holly weird, which, by the way has been used by people since the early 70's and maybe sooner, or so I am told! You are obviously one frustrated homophobe!

I am horrified to think she might be Vice-President. I am even more frightened by the idea that she could well end up as President! John McCain is obviously not the man he was in the past; I believe his health problems are catching up with him now, as I believe his current performance shows. So we end up in a couple of years with Palin.

Yoooauch!

Hereever I believe Ms. Palin could be a fabulous comedian (or is she all ready one?} She has missed her calling. Too bad she seems so power crazy and abusive. Assuming that the Republicans lose, we could have even more fun with her after the election.

who's the nut DemocratForPeace? ?

How magnanimous of the Post to give the semi-literate a venue to spout their garbage. "Human waist", indeed! If we declared a "War on Education" and conducted it in the same manner as the "War on Drugs" or the "War on Terror", you chowderheads would be "Hooked on Phonics" well before Easter!

I'm a simple guy. I just thought it was funny. But even the great opening couldn't top the pregnant redneck shakin it in the dive surrounded by all those mullets.

SNL stinks ever since Eddie Murphy left....
And is only popular now due to another MORON form the "Grans O'le Party"....

After the election is over and Carribou Barbie is back in the Alaskan Wilderness reuns of Family Guy on TBS will beat them again.....

Besides..peeeuuu Palin....A $150,000 dollars on fashion sense....I think they would make more sense if they had used the money getting her a 3rd grade "social studies" teacher and explain the US Constitution to her..

....she could have continued to buy her clothes at Walmart..and THEN she would really represent "small town" America....

And SNL still stinks......

Someone pointed out that Palin should be the model for "Lens Crafters" which would be perfect for her. She actually looks like the woman who already has this job.

I would like to know how many of you brave bloggers would go into a room full of people that have such distain for you that they would take their millions of dollars and leave their homes (and the people that made them rich). She walked up face to face with people that have attacked her personally and professionaly. She showed more (pardon the expression) gonads that either Obama or McCain. She faced down critics and smiled the whole time. I admire that in her. Maybe she should get some credit for her strengths.

Sarah Palin is taking advantage of this whole arena she's got herself into... I just hope SNL didn't pay for her perfomance.... Tina is an actress by trade Sarah is learning.

'"Human waist", indeed! If we declared a "War on Education" and conducted it in the same manner as the "War on Drugs" or the "War on Terror", [...]'

Then it would be a dismal failure and our prisons would be over-filled with learning-disabled children? *embarassingly easy joke*

Your review of Palin's appearance on SNL and limited (read: NONE) interaction with Tina Fey is one way to view the encounter. The other is that any interaction between the two accomplished women would have shown them to be what they are, Fey: a phenomenalcomedic genius gifted at impersonation and Palin: a charismatic individual with leadership skills. That certainly would not have served Ms. Fey's purposes, so perhaps the tightly scripted skit was truly set up to protect the idea of Fey's character as "real" rather than be seen for what it is, a funny spot on performance using heightened body language and hyperbole. In any event, the opening was funny. And thank God for women like Gov. Palin AND Tina Fey, breaking down gender preclusions in their respective fields, both.

Looks like Obama loyalist are still peeved Palin is a "superstar" like "that one."

I see many want Obama to go on SNL to see if he can beat her 14 million rating. So juvenile.

In response to the the posted question: My God, what has happened to people to be so judgemental and hateful?

It is what the religous right has taught us. Someone doesn't agree with you, then judge them, belittle their ideas, and make everyone else afraid of them. Lesson learned. Funny how the hunting, hockey mom, pit bull with lipstick likes to dish it out at every turn, but cries foul when she is on the receiving end. Hypocracy fuels anger.

While I was working in Los Angeles, I had many opportunities to work closely to some of the television productions of various celebrities.

Jordan, Jordan, are you jealous?

I'm amazed at how the much smarter right wing who continually cast aspersions on us dumb ole liberals and our liberal press write so many comments to a liberal columnist. Don't they know we're not bright enough for them to smarten us up?

It's all over for McCain/Palin ticket, it is highly anything is going to work against Obama/Biden ticket. The very choice of his personal beauty queen Sarah Pelin by McCain, speaks volumes about misjudgements, now and after November 4th will confirm the Obama/Biden ticket is on the right track and election is almost over.!!!!

****AMERICA SHOULD BE FEARFULLY CONCERNED****

In the last month, After Governor Sarah Palin and HER Administration was refused by The Alaska Superior Court, then refused by The Alaska Supreme Court to SQUASH the “Troopergate Investigation” against Sarah Palin, the Alaska State Legislative Investigation (LAW) moved on the investigation of the Firing of the Alaska State Public Safety Commissioner.

Gov.Sarah Palin “IS” found “GUILTY” by The Alaska State Legislature [60] Lawmakers, [Mostly Republicans] .in the Investigation of Firing" The Chief of The Alaska State Public Safety Commissioner, Walt Monegan.

TROOPERGATE: In plain English, Sarah Palin has been legally PROVEN that she broke the Alaska State Ethics Law in ABUSING HER power in pushing for the firing of a State Trooper once married to her sister and by also ALLOWING her husband Todd Palin to use the Alaska Governor's Office in a crusade against the Officer. She is charged with 18 Ethic Violation Facts.

Currently the State of Alaska Personnel Board [appointed by Sara Palin} hired a private Investigator to continue the “Troopergate Investigation” on possible OTHER Ethic Violations which Palin allowed HER appointed Administration to participate in. Sarah Palins appointed State of Alaska, Attorney General Colberg, cannot participate to defend Gov. Palin or to defend her Administration. Why? Because he also is in conflict of interest

ALASKA GOVERNOR RECALL!
I am an Alaskan life voting Republican. This 2008 Election, I will [with pleasure] vote Democrat!

This Alaska Governor Palin has Destroyed and continues to attempt to Destroy "MANY GOOD ALASKAN PEOPLE(s)” Professionally and Politically during her "VERY SHORT" term position as Mayor in a small community Wasilla, Ak (Approx 5,000 + residents during her reign) and currently the Alaska State Governor.

McCain’s V.P. selection Sarah Palin unequivocally has NO business being the Alaska Governor, let alone, a USA Candidate for Vice President…..

Maverick??.....”AMERICA SHOULD BE FEARFULLY CONCERNED”

I voted for Sarah Palin in Alaskans 2006 Governor Election. MISTAKE!.... Never Again… I repeat-NEVER AGAIN!!....Alaska Governor Palin is an absolute Embarrassment to the Alaska People(s) and "IS PROVEN” Over and Over to be an insatiable LIAR!!..
.
How can she possibly ASSUME to possess the ability to clean up America, when she cannot clean the progressive ''MESS" She has created, then left Alaska to run for the United States V.P. Yes, she .departed leaving “HERSELF and HER husband todd palins” Mess FOR Alaskans to Clean-Up!!

MCCAIN, you should be ASHAMED of yourself!!!! This victim (palin) has no business in this Presidential Arena.

Jordan, Jordan, Jordan: continue reading your Holy Writ and believing anything you feel you've found in it. Just remember (or maybe please learn for the first time ever) that there are actually Liberal Christians! That's unbelievable, isn't it?? Quit worrying about us -- work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. And remember: no man knoweth the day or the hour. So if you have it all figured out, perhaps you've gotten the wrong message??!!

Jesus was a liberal, by the way. Had you been there Jordan, you'd have been one of the "whited sepulchers" He spoke about.

Palin is with out doubt, the FEMALE BUSH!

She is not presidential material!
Just like Bush.
She talks trash more than substace!
Just like Bush.
She will have Carl Rove making all the important decisions!
Just like Bush.

She is the female BUSH!

I think Palin did a great job on SNL. I heard it had the highest ratings. I also got the feeling that Joe Biden liked her and her family after the VP debates. It seemed as though they all really did get along and linger with each other longer. She seems to be a down to earth person sort of like the avg. American and that doesn't fly with the Democrates. Democrates like smooth talking lawyers that lie, bend the rules and change the laws to favor their outcome. Most of the DC crowd will never have a woman as President if they can help it. There look on woman are keep the barefoot and pregnant and out of Washington. Just like I believe it was the TN. gov. with his mistress on the phone recently telling her what her job was.

Well my amusement for today has been accomplished by just reading some of the comments - and headliners for this week.
Did anyone criticize Bill Clinton when he was on SNL? NO and why is that? Wonder why that was? OH, excuse me he was a Democrat and that gives them passes for anything they want to do.
GROW UP AMERICA
!!!!McCain/Palin 2008!!!!
