PLEASE OH PLEASE CAN WE GET A PURGE !

I agree. Time to show the Palindrones the door. Not those who like her mind you, but those syncophantic individuals who swoon in her direction at the slightest mention. Those who would appoint her queen, the Palindrones.

Look at the sky parting above Governor Palin!

She accomplished more in a few short weeks in that regard than other politicians have in a life time.

And it is scaring the bejeebies out of the GOP rank-n-file. She was treated like crap by the GOP Gov leaders. Fools.

[Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit]

Just for the record, and to tamp down the flames a bit. I agree with you wholeheartedlz. But, the professional wrestling lover wing of the GOP also loes Sarah Palin. They shout a lot, so bring your ear plugs.

[antceecee]

LOL!LOL!LOL!

HUCKABEE!LOL!LOL!

[Einigkeit_Recht_Freiheit]

“PLEASE OH PLEASE CAN WE GET A PURGE !”

If it is your desire to silence those ideas with which you disagree, you must feel your personal ideas and beliefs are quite weak. Your fear of contradictory opinions indicates that you are not so sure yourself about Palin. Maybe have a deep think about why counter-arguments disturb you so much that you wish to silence them.

Gekko and the other RomneyBOT has one mission on FR.
To hurt the GOP and Gov. Palin for Bishop Romney.

[lentulusgracchus]

Good article.

When she came out and spoke at the GOP convention, I could see what the liberals and Dems saw, and I could hear their little sighs of horror, those little sucking-in sounds, and hear the fear freezing their hateful little hearts. God, it was gorgeous! It was like sunrise -- "morning in America" again!

[lentulusgracchus]

So what's your point? Don't just back up the truck.

[doberville]

Precisely what is your problem with Sarah Palin?

Can you name the specific points that give you a problem?

Are you able to articulate those traits which make her specifically inferior to Mrs Thatcher?

I suspect not.

[trisham]

yeah, well running older candidates doesn’t seem to be working out too well for us.

***********************

That's the truth. With all due respect to experience and maturity, neither of our older candidates ran a sufficiently energetic or effective campaign.

[RightWingMama]

Well, if you see a white Chevy astro van in the Boise area over Thanksgiving with your stickers, give us a honk.

[Jeff Head]

Will do...and if you see a "1G" Idaho plate on a black Chevy 4-door, 4x4 pickup with these stickers, give us a honk as well. Or on my wife's silver Malibu.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

bullcrap.

It is not arguments or counter arguments. It is the comments about the way she talks. her religion. Someone in this thread called her a redneck.

That should not be acceptable. and those attacking her personally should be kicked to the curb.

[libbylu]

Sarah does not favor amnesty for illegals, that was johnboy’s view. Huck will NEVER garner the support that Sarah will. He tries to be slick like his hero 42. BUT he was the illegal alien’s hero while governor, took him a while into the campaign to figure out that wouldn’t fly and he lifted a website’s policy and put it word for word on his site. He seems to be busy now trying to convert centrists on his FNC show, which I won’t watch after he took a sublime, slime hit on Mitt for the millionth time.

Sarah is real and runs on her own instincts, JUST LIKE REAGAN AND MAGGIE. She has done an outstanding job in her political life in Alaska. She didn’t become a victimized whistle blower while on the oil commission, SHE WON THAT BATTLE AND WAS ELECTED GOVERNOR. She will learn what she needs to know.

[HawaiianGecko]

  My point is rather obvious from the data.  McCain hovered within 5 points of 45% for the entire year preceding the election.  Only one poll put him over 50% after the announcement of Governor Palin.  Therefore, the claim that she kept McCain from receiving only "30% or worse" of the vote as claimed by post #94 is simply not supported by any known data.

Now, if you have some actual data on the subject that suggests differently, I'd be more than happy to read & seriously consider it.  To the best of my knowledge cheerleading has never won a contest, yet I'd gladly read any facts you may have on that subject also.

[HawaiianGecko]

  "Sarah does not favor amnesty for illegals, that was johnboy’s view."  Really?  How can you tell.  If you actually do some research you'll find she favors a path to citizenship which is exactly in lockstep with Johnboy.  And Ted Kennedy and Luís Vicente Gutiérrez for that matter.

Her record on immigration is really an unknown, but if you dig around you'll find the following:


Sarah Palin: Amnesty Interview with UniVision

Governor, let me ask you about immigration. How many undocumented immigrants are there in Alaska?
I don't know, I don't know. That's a good question.


As governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they all should be deported?
There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant -there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants- not only economically is that just an impossibility but that's not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue that we face with illegal immigration.

Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants?
No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They've got to follow the bar, and we have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great  country provides. 

To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.

And the last question would be about politics. You only have two more weeks left...
Yes

What is your strategy? How are you planning to win the latino vote?
I will tell you, I wish that there were more hours in the day so that we can get out there and to more of the communities with such the strong Latino vote that is out there and really tell them that we desire to work for them. We are asking them to hire us and let us work for them.

Thank you so much. It would be impossible to ask you to say a few words in Spanish, right?
Oh my good-well, I don't want to embarrass myself, but … but gracias and I do thank you so much for this opportunity. I appreciate it.

Address jointly with Canada the border security challenges
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will welcome more than 30 Canadian officials to Juneau and Anchorage for meetings January 18-19, 2007. "Alaska's new administration needs to start early and energetically with expanding our strong, cooperative relationship wit Canada," said Governor Palin. "We have many common issues. Our meetings this week will promote continued trade. We'll also have the opportunity to address jointly the border security challenges placed on us by the U.S. and Canadian national governments."

Alaska's exports to Canada are headed for record highs, based on the federal export numbers for the partial year January through November 2006. Alaska's exports to Canada for that period more than doubled to $441 million compared to the same period in 2005, spurred by $320 million in lead and zinc ore exports.

Immigrants want more vocational training & senior assistance

Q: The state has seen big growth of minority and immigrant populations, specifically Latinos & Southeast Asians. What sort of outreach has your campaign done?

A: I have reached out to all these communities and asked them to identify their needs. Their response has been for more vocational training, senior assistance, ending gang violence, and more state outreach and communication with their communities. One of the key components of my internal campaign is a diversity task force. I turn to them often.

Took no action on Alaska's "sanctuary cities"

Lou Dobbs notes that at least two of Alaska's cities have been officially designated as sanctuary cities: "An August 14, 2006 report produced by the Congressional Research Service listed 31 cities and counties that have 'don't ask, don't tell' sanctuary policies in place. They [include] Anchorage, Alaska [and] Fairbanks, Alaska. Alaska and Oregon both have state-wide policies that forbid state agencies from using resources to enforce federal immigration law."

Apparently, this is by design from the highest levels. In fact, a resolution to that effect was passed in the Alaska state legislature in 2003 (before Palin's election): "[Alaska] House Joint Resolution 22--May 2003: Establishes that state agencies and instrumentalities may not use state resources or institutions for the enforcement of federal immigration laws, which are the responsibility of the federal government."

It's not clear whether Gov. Palin has ever weighed in, pro or con, on Alaska's sanctuary policies.

Tightened restrictions on illegal alien's drivers licenses

There has been an ongoing fight in Alaska over drivers' licenses for illegals. A bill banning drivers' licenses for illegals passed the Alaska state senate in 2003 [before Palin was elected governor]: "JUNEAU (AP)--The state Senate approved a bill that tightens the standards for getting a driver's license by requiring applicants prove they are in the country legally and by placing time limits on licenses for legal aliens." The measure did not pass into law. In any event, the DMV subsequently tightened the administrative regulations on drivers' licenses, thereby giving rise to a lawsuit by some folks who found the new restrictions inconvenient. The new restrictions were not, however, enough for at least some members of the legislature, who tried again recently to enact a ban into the statutory law: "Despite two unsuccessful pushes, a new bill addresses the rights of illegal immigrants in Alaska: to require applicants to show proof of residency before they can get a driver's license."

[libbylu]

Thanks for the info! Illegal amnesty is at the top of my priority list. I am gonna give her a pass for now on the univision interview, apparently done the two weeks before 11/4 when she was speaking for johnboy. Last week I read somewhere on here about deportations from Alaska along with another state in the same article. I will pay close attention.

[lentulusgracchus]

The claims are not mutually exclusive. There is, after all, the element of turnout. Polling tries to capture turnout but, as has been discussed in several older threads, does not always succeed in accounting fully for turnout differences.
