so her experience leading the national guard consists of what.... telling them to get kittens out of trees?
nice to see you've finally admitted that she's got nothing to do with anything related to warfare....and i'm hope you're aware that she isn't even consulted.

just googled it....nothing came up.
i'm sure you've got a link though, right brit?

whoops....you stepped in it here brit....and so did sarah. what's the deal with her extended relationship with the alaska independence party? why did she attend those meetings?

that type of vague answer might work when she's 'interviewed' on foxnews, but what do you mean brit? will this educaiton include discussion about contraceptives and abortion?

Boon Mee

How 'bout this one then: You gonna remain outside the states after Palin / McCain take office?

...that PhD thesis - outa material, eh?

britmaveric

-She has command/control experience as any Governor has when you are talking national guard.

-Alaska and Russia are less than 3 miles apart at their closest point in the Bering Strait where two islands, Russia's Big Diomede Island and Alaska's Little Diomede Island, are located. In winter it is possible to walk across the frozen Bering Strait border between these two islands. At its closest, the American mainland and the Russian mainland are 55 miles apart where Alaska's Seward Peninsula and Russia's Chukotka Peninsula reach out to each other.

So Ray you somehow don't think there is any fishing/water rights issues that come up from time to time???

-Independence Party attendance to some meetings means she actually buys into their beliefs? Perhaps she wanted to learn more about them?

-Education - well her answer will be Abstinence programs, and I suppose you will bring up her daughter being preggers?

whoops!



true feelings coming through.

one of these days i'll go back and pull up some of those quotes you made about mccain during the primary.

should make for good reading.

raycarey

so, absolutely nothing to do with national defense.
nada.
zip.
zero.

you brought it up brit. i tried to find something via google, and couldn't.
here's your chance to back up your post...and this second one.
good luck.



so, you admit that she has a record of consorting with people (and her husband was a member btw) who want to secede from the union.



well considering how unsuccessful it has been in her own family, how couldn't it be brought up?

Palin is suppose to give an interview to ABC later this week.

washingtonpost.com - nation, world, technology and Washington area news and headlines

Not surprised that she has not been out and about in the press. First they had to prep her for the convention, then prep her for real campaigning. No doubt they have held off as long as possible.

Much like Obama has ducked McCain in regard to weekly town hall meetings, because he felt he did not need to do it - even though early on he said he would. The red team has not seen the need to put Palin at the mercy of the press just yet.

The red team and Palin are getting plenty of press already. And if the polls can be belived it is working on the favor of the GOP. If she then goes to the press and does well the gap will grow. If she does not do so well, then they hopefully they will have gotten all the could out of the Palin announcement and the convention bump before taking a hit.

It's yet to be seen if the Palin pick will turn out well for McCain in the long run. But so far it sure seems to have done some good for the red team. Engergized the base, tons of free press coverage (without her even going out to stump the press directly), and they're up in the polls.

I am sure that eventually the attention will eventually shift back to the core focus of Obama vs McCain. But US News & World Reports seem to think the blue team are stuggling to respond to the Palin:

DEMOCRAT Barack Obama yesterday accused Sarah Palin of “making stuff up” and ridiculed Republicans for trying to co-opt his message of change.

“Words mean something. You can’t just make stuff up,” he said…"

How can she be making stuff up when the lefties are accusing her of not saying anything yet and dodging the press?

If she's the Governor and the employee did not follow her wishes that's called insubordination innit? Grounds for dismissal.
Oh, pullease; it can't be worse than 20 years at Rev Wright's altar can it?
Um, like just about any opinion you've given?
Geez, rc is exuding his poshlust today. The dog musta forgot his lithium injection.
Since when is a state governor in control of NATIONAL defense?
And "consorting" with a secessionist party? Your choice of derogatory terms nevers ceases to amaze me, rc. I would see her visits to any meetings as "know thy enemy".
As for sex education, well, up to her. The condom programs have not worked either, have they?
So, if she continues to dominate the news, no rush to push her into a shark feeding frenzy with the Libbie press, is there?

Accidental Ajarn

Man, this lady has gotten RC and the lefties shitting all over themselves.

How many silly cut and paste jobs has RC made. How many times has he crapped himself in an attempt to insult this person he knew nothing about 2 weeks ago?

Ok, RC, backtrack a little. You said she would be dropped from the ticket. Boy, that looks highly unlikely now.

Then you went on for pages about "vetting"

Obviously no one cared.

Now you are trying to stir up some idea about her being part of a new confedercy of something.

Man, wash yourself off. You have been shitting all over yourself for a week now over Sarah. At first kinda of funny to watch in a cruel sort of way, but it is sad to see a "man" completely lost control over his bowel movements over hatred of a woman. And also, all the shit stinks and after a quick laugh at you, everyone now wants to run away to avoid the stench.

I've been gone for a couple of days and come back to read the last 3-4 pages man!! Ray is really frothing out of the mouth like a mad liberal..take it easy dude after all it's only an election for the leader of the free world

aging one

Speaking in tongues, just what we need.


WASILLA, Alaska (CNN) -- For more than two decades, current Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was a practicing Pentecostal.
Sarah Palin asked church members to pray for $30 billion natural gas pipeline in Alaska.





She belonged to the Wasilla Assembly of God church in her hometown of Wasilla, Alaska. But though she attended the church from her teenage years through to 2002, she hasn't talked much about her religion since joining the Republican ticket.
Palin's former pastor, Tim McGraw, says that like many Pentecostal churches, some members speak in tongues, although he says he's never seen Palin do so. Church member Caroline Spangler told CNN, "When the spirit comes on you, you utter things that nobody else can understand ... only God can understand what is coming out of our mouths."
Some Pentecostals from Assembly of God also believe in "faith healing" and the "end times" -- a violent upheaval that they believe will deliver Jesus Christ's second coming.
"Our basic belief is that God is God and he knows where history is going and he has a purposeful plan and within the middle of that plan we live in an environment in our world where certain events would take place," says McGraw. "Sarah wasn't taught to look for one particular sign -- a cataclysmic sign. She knew as every Christian does ... that God is sovereign and he is in control."

ChiangMai noon

People who are convinced that God is on their side make me quite nervous.

Butterfly

that's all what we needed, another second coming of the Christ by a US president candidate,

is it me or does her and McCain just looks like some kind of old pervert couple, unelectable

Accidental Ajarn

"unelectable"

But leading in the polls?

Keep it up lefties, keep attacking Sarah and shitting all over yourselves and watch the backlash send the dems down the dumpster.

Obama is standing by watching all the hatred and irrationality of his supporters sink his chances for the presidency (Just like Karl Rove planned ).

Fuck, hate-filled lefties are so easy to manipulate.

Is it? Where do I register my vote? LOL

panama hat

Well, snigger-snigger, the wording is quite humorous if you are a juvenile . . . snigger, snigger.
Are George Bush and Jet Gorgon Pentecostals?



Seriously, folks . . . Does anyone here believe that Mrs Palin will have the capability of keeping the separation of Church and State?
I don't know much about Pentecostals, but it seems they are rather devout, how could anyone, not just Palin, separate the two being in this situation?

spiff

It's one thing to have a religious belief which informs one's conscience and decisions, another to believe one knows god's will and base one's actions on it.

The latter characterises zealots and theocracies.
