Why did Palin name a pro-choice judge to the Alaska Supreme Court?[DU-like anti-Palin source]
Alaska Dispatch ^ | Feb 18, 2011 | By Craig Medred

At least one mystery from Sarah Palin's short reign as governor of Alaska appears to have been cleared up by claims made in a manuscript for a book proposed by former Palin aide and confident Frank Bailey.

Many have wondered why Palin, who professes to be pro-life, named to the Alaska Supreme Court Morgan Christen, who is pro-choice. The move took both conservatives and liberals by surprise in 2009.

Sorry about all the typos. I was one hand typing, holding a baby with the other.

Excellent post and you just exposed the PDSers for what they are.......everybody isn’t sold on Palin but there is a big difference in “not being sure about a candidate” and one who knowingly post liberal trash just to prove their dislike for her!

So tell me honestly, if you can - if I went to some indy nutcase blog and found a crap post attacking Bachmann (and you know those are out there), and then posted that here on FR to try and tear Bachmann down as a means to make Palin seem like the right choice - what would your reaction be?

I'll second that question, and add this one:

If a liberal blog reported that a former VP at Godfather's Pizza was writing a book about Herman Cain that portrayed him as a corrupt opportunist and that, say, Paul Krugman was helping him write the book, how would you view it, and how would you view a FReeper who posted it and said he was trying to make sure we picked a strong conservative winner instead of a liberal jerk like Cain?

Would you say stuff like, "The blogger is also a former VP at Godfather's, so I'm sure this is accurate?" Would you say, "asking questions about King Herman is totally within bounds and good for the cause?"

I have my own concerns about Palin - I like her, but living here in Pennsylvania, and having been around a lot of influential Republicans last year, I know a lot of them don't think well of her, and that is a hurdle she will have to figure out how to get over. PA is a purple state getting redder, and the GOP nominee in 2012 is going to have to win a few purple states to take the White House. And Palin has done a few things that I have concerns about.

I am willing to be open to other candidates - but I also think Congresscritters like Bachmann and Cain need to show they can win a statewide election before running for the White House. But I sure as heck ain't going to go to liberal attack sites for guideance on Bachmann and Cain, let alone post their crap here on FR.

Sane FReepers only post liberal crap here to dissect its idiocy - not as a means to raise conservative points of disagreement about a potential candidate.

Do you know the difference between a senator and a congressman?

Congresscritter=congressman.

Duncan Hunter was a congresscritter, not a senator. He got about as close as they get to winning his party's nomination. John Andersen was a congresscritter. He ran as a third party candidate in 1980. He got real close as well........you remember presidents Andersen and Hunter don't you?

I like Palin and I believe that she can win but that’s beside the point, I don’t care if somebody supports Bachmann, Hermain, or one of the other potentials - we have a primary process to deal with that. My problem is to do with PDSers who just hate Palin and they do it by lying, posting liberal MSM lies or by twisting words and making false controversy about her into something real.

Like this story about the pro-choice nomination.....anybody CAN find out that sarah was giving a choice between two pro-choice picks and Sarah had to pick the least of the two evils, but somehow these punks see that she was wrong in some way (she has to be), she does wrong just by breathing-—— now the only people who think like this are the liberals and to the Palin Haters the enemy of their enemy is their friends! They don’t act like conservatives in any way

And the poster of this clatrap is whining about being attacked for supporting Bachmann and Cain ... whereas he didn’t raise that support until post 24. They can’t even be honest on their own threads.

That’s another point! These PDSers come with that “ Pissant strain” of supposedly liking Bachmann or Cain when that’s a lie! One can go back on their past post and see that they said nothing much about Bachmann or anybody else they support....but once Pissant backed away from attacks that he was misogynist against Sarah, He claim that he really liked Michele and then soon most of the known PDSers claimed that they like her as well.

This is rehashed PDS non-sense. Under Alaska law, the legislature presented her with a choice of two liberal candidates from which she HAD to choose, and so she picked the lesser of the two evils.

“Again, what principled conservative doesn’t step up and try to reform a process that leaves her with two liberal choices for the Supreme Court? Is there any evidence Palin did that?”

Listen, they just tried that not that long ago in Alaska and it failed. The people have the choice in so many years if they don’t like the judge then they can vote the judge out.

For the record the other judge was pro-abortion.

Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann are both INFINITELY BETTER candidates with a better chance of winning.

Good luck with that, huckleberry.

I am glad to see they are spending their time of stuff that has been debunked long ago. Their smears are recycled to the point that, as insignificant as they are, I can remember nearly all of them.

Better for Palin to get this stuff out now when there's time enough to deal with it and turn it into "discredited old news".

This "stuff" was "got out" in 2009 and quickly discredited. Sparky here is just playing the usual PDS game of slime and squirm.

Old news. ‘Refudiated’ in 2009.

I love that word.

Yawn. I’m not even a fan of Palin for President and even I see this as old claims hashed out in 2008.

I'm sick and tired of idiots like you attacking anyone that questions whether is the best candidate for the job.

You were around the last time this was covered. You waited for the dust to settle so you could kick the anthill again. You are one sick dude. If you are mentally ill then I am sorry people are attacking you. If not then you deserve a thorough flogging. Enjoy.
