Gov. Palin is totally pro-life. Always has been. Always will be. She believes in a culture of life from cradle to grave. Her choice for Supreme Court judge was made in accordance with Alaska law. She chose the person most qualified from the names sent to her. The Governor's choice has a record of fairness. That is important as the courts sort out some very thorny issues. Governor Palin's choices were either a liberal or an independent. She went with the independent. And as the following article reflects - this selection process is flawed.

Process of selecting Alaska's judges is clearly flawed
By Bob Flint Catholic Anchor Online
Alaska courts have a long history of removing contentious social and cultural issues from the democratic process. Court rulings have forced private hospitals to perform abortions, ordered gay marriage and benefits, required taxpayer funded abortions and interfered with parents' rights to be involved in the abortion decisions of their minor child.
These court rulings involve the creation of new and novel legal doctrines untethered to our Constitutional history, intent, or even language. The decisions of the public and their elected representatives are ignored, not to mention the rights of individuals to parent their children or perform services or charity without being forced into immoral and abhorrent practices.
The Alaska courts have consistently struck at such basic moral rights as life, family, marriage and conscience, undermining in the process the essential pillars on which society is based.

I’m not attacking Palin here, but just a warning to Freepers - don’t put all your eggs in the Palin basket. She’s just one possibility for 2012. Remember how excited everyone was for Fred Thompson, and how quickly he fizzled.
Agreed. Nice though to see her rapid response team in action. Soooooooo different than the way the other BS “scandals’ were handled.
Rules, dude. Sarah threads need Sarah pics!
Hopefully, this will put the whole “controversy” to rest. The hardcore Palin bashers will continue to harp on it for a few more days, and then it will die, just like Ashley Judd and the wolves, per diem, travel expenses, and everything else the Soros/Axelrod/0bama axis has been throwing out there. I’m wondering what it will be next. Oh yeah, we still have the whacko who filed a federal suit over Juneteenth, but you know that’s not going to go anywhere either. I smell desparation.
Yeap, I remember. However, it seems to me like Thompson was dragged ‘kicking and screaming’ into the primaries and never really had any real intention of winning. I can’t understand how he got there in the first place.
I’m glad Governor Palin responded quickly and explained the circumstances surrounding her appointment of this judge. As I suspected: (1) the Press spun this to make her look bad, and (2) the judicial appointment system is rigged so that only the candidates the “juristocracy” wants are eligible for the position.
Untie her hands. In fact, break the grip of the “juristocracy” and of the “trial attorney monopoly” on the American legal system!
It’s all about Feminism and the glass ceiling.
A little thing like working for the baby killing machine Planned Parenthodd - no problem.
Go Sarah!
Christen was member of a group in the 1990's that was NOT involved in abortions. After she left, almost 10 years later this group became part of PP.
Stop with your sick, idotic LYING. It's almost beneath dignity to respond to this hateful crap.
Ye Gods! Will the lying never stop?!?
Unfortunately, he could not live up to the expectations. They expected Reagan II, not Fred Thompson.
Nope, never. Haters have no shame, ZERO
If the RNC was running SarahPac, there would be no response at all with the hope that the issue just goes away.
Fred Thompson is a good man. Don’t get me wrong. I supported him in the primaries. But he and Sarah had one thing in common. They entered the arena without much of a training camp. If Fred had gone through a training camp (several months of preparing for the campaign and travelling on the stump) he may have performed better. But alas, he appeared unenergetic, tired and quite frankly not as inspiring as I thought he would be. Sarah Palin faced the same obstacles—being thrust into battle without going through a training camp.
Now the difference is between Fred and Sarah is twofold: Sarah is 20 years younger than Fred and was able to withstand the grind of travelling from city to city by summoning up the necessary energy to do her job without it affecting her performance. And secondly Sarah is just more charismatic than Fred. It’s as simple as that. Sarah is a natural and a superstar. You give Sarah time to prepare to do battle (which she will have), a conservative message that is 100% her own and not dovetailed to fit into McCain’s positions, and a team around her dedicated to her election and her protection from being destroyed by Obama and the MSM you can only imagine what Sarah’s campaign will be like.
Do you really wonder why the presence of trolls on Sarah’s threads has risen appreciably in the last few days? Next to Rush Limbaugh, Sarah is in the crosshairs of the ballerina, Rahm Emanuel, Carville, and Begala and many nefarious propagandists. The MSM now have two targets to go after. Rush and Sarah, Sarah and Rush. Rush can take it. He can defend himself. But Sarah being a politician, she is more vulnerable. We must do everything in our power to beat back the forces of evil and to remain vigilant on a 24/7 basis.
Techno—it was a pleasure to read your very astute analysis in post 17. Nicely done.
Think about it—Thompson failed to gain support in the media and amongst the masses who believe the media because he lacked charisma.
Palin is just the opposite—she has proven star quality, and she’s a true conservative. This is why the liberal media are so afraid of her, and why we will continue to see them twist and contort the truth in their desperate attempts to discredit her.
By the way a new radio program dedicated to Sarah Palin will debut tonight at 11 PM EST. It is called Join Team Sarah radio and will be on blogger radio. You can access the program at www.conservatives4palin.com. To ask questions the phone number is (347)215-6125. They will discuss the judicial appointment and other things related to Sarah Palin. It is also scheduled to be broadcast next Friday as well. Enjoy!
