Has she lost her mind? What about the Alaska Independent Party that she and her husband are tight with. The Media should had talked more on this . I think it is a shame they did not. Palin is dangerous. Everytime she open her mouth a lie come out.

How to reply… should it be to the disgraceful bitch or the much more disgraceful media giving her kind the stage to call to arms all the anti American trash that would destroy America.

I have a problem with GOP lies. They look us in the eye and tell us something without blinking, then they wave the American flag and we the people fall in line.
Remember:
1. We have to send our sons and daughters to die looking for weapons of mass destruction, hurry up pull out the flag and wave like hell!
2. Sedam Hussein was responsible for 9-11, hurry up pull out the flag and wave like hell!
3. Iraqi oil will pay for the war, hurry up pull out the flag and wave like hell!
4. Our economy is basically strong, hurry up pull out the flag and wave like hell!
5. John McCain campaign statement that he is not able to use a computer because of his suffering as a prisoner of war.
a. July 13, 2008 New York Times interview john McCain said: “I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself. I don’t expect to be a great communicator, I don’t expect to set up my own blog, but I am becoming computer literate to the point where I can get the information that I need.”
b. On Rachel Ray John McCain whipped up a batch of ribs. What different muscles are used to barbecue ribs that you would have to use on a keyboard?
It is time to look in their eyes – not blink – and say “Stop lying to us?”

You morons. This is supposed to be funny. If you'd look at the bottom of the column, in italics it says the writer is supposed to be a “humorist.” Unfortunately, he's not and one hopes he doesn't actually get paid for these columns as they're not vaguely funny.

Alaska did want to join the Union. Beginning in 1866 with the Western Union Telegraph Expedition, which was secretly doing reconnaissance on the territory for the US gov't. prior to the purchase arranged between Seward and De Stoekel. After the Gold Rush, the miners had to create their own government structure because the state was being managed by the Revenue Cutter Service, the proto-Coast Guard. Once they finally got the Feds to run it as a territory, the desire for statehood was a huge movement not achieved until 1958. At UA-Fairbanks, the administration building is Constitution Hall, where the state constitution was hammered out. Today, there are banners all over Anchorage celebrating statehood.
It was only after the hillbillies and white trash of Oklahoma and Texas started Tom Joad-ing their way to Alaska for the Trans Alaska Pipeline construction that we started seeing these separatist and post-Confederate America hating terrorists with their low class ways showing up and filling up the marginal spaces outside of towns-North Pole, Badger Road, Wasilla-and filling up rural places on the road system with proto-Koresh compounds.
And state constitutions allowing secession were pretty much null and void after 1865, don't you think? Certainly before then it was by definition anti-American to want to leave America.
The GOP can certainly spend as much money as they have on makeup, clothing, speech lessons, and adult education classes, but they can't make my governess any smarter than she already isn't. She operates on instinct and guile, which works okay when your opponent is another wolf, wolverine, or bear, but not so well against people. I think she not only screwed the pooch in Alaska with her crookedness and petty vindictiveness but might have fixed the GOP for two election cycles at least, and longer if the GOP keeps coming out with these neo-Nazis like Michele Bachmann and these blatant liars who get caught on video or audio saying stupid things, then lie and spin their way further in a hole.

Seriously, I can't tell if this is journalism or fiction. I'm not sure whether these are actually Palin's words or satire.. If the latter, well done! If the former, I'm really frightened that there are people who are supporting the candidacy of someone this intellectually uninspiring for this high an office.

I mean, she had some people fooled at first, but then she didn't know (and didn't admit to not knowing) what the Bush Doctrine was in the Gibson interview, then spouted utter nonsense to Couric because she didn't know the word "moratorium", and now has shown the world that she's willing to use the word "preconditions" without knowing what IT means.

She has most recently become an effective fear monger and race baiter on the stump. A handful of conservatives are (valiantly or self-protectively I cannot say) crying "foul" and distancing themselves from her and from the choice of her on McCain's part, but hoards of frighteningly ignorant and xenophobic supporters have come out of the woodwork to cheer her on at rallies.

Is this all ultimately religious? Is that it? People want a cheerleader (or dictator) for their social agenda and will thus accept someone like Sarah Palin – at the cost of putting the security of our country in jeopardy? Is it that they're not interested in qualifications to run a large country, only interested in an agenda that will bring us another step closer to theocracy?

I ask because I just can't believe that people are unable to see that she is not qualified to hold high office. I can't believe that people are that dumb. I think people fall for the con artist because they want to believe that he (or, in this case, she) isn't a con artist. In this case it may simply be because they see her as a means to their all-important end of doing what they think to be the will of God.

I finally understand the thinking of otherwise intelligent people who supported Nazism or, more recently, jihadism: It's not that they're that gullible; it's that they want to be.
