“Ignominious charge of Death Panels”...that the Government has finally had to admit that they *do* exist! and that they *will* be “rationing Care” to senior citizens....

As fate would have it, she was responsible for finally bringing Exxon to judgment when she was governor after a twenty-year battle.

I didn't know that. She might be able to leverage that point to her advantage while sticking to her guns on "drill, baby, drill."

After a long clean-up effort, as days rolled into weeks, then months, then years, Alaskans’ frustration mounted as ExxonMobile steadily refused to step up and pay the penalty the courts decided it owed for destroying the livelihoods and lifestyles of so many families and communities. And no one in local, state, or national government seemed able to hold the corporate giant accountable.

ExxonMobile’s litigation compounded the suffering, especially for Cordova and Valdez fishermen. Court challenges stretched on for two decades. It took twenty years for Alaska to achieve victory. As governor I directed our attorney general to file an amicus brief on behalf of plaintiffs in the case, and, thanks to Alaska’s able attorneys arguing in front of the highest court in the land, in 2008 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the people. Finally, Alaskans could recover some of their losses.

Well, it wasn't entirely her doing but no doubt it helped.

Then she will be off to Europe to visit with political leaders and stir up the people. I predict that huge crowds will embrace her and her message. No doubt, she will also visit Israel with her entire family, where they will be mobbed.

Excellent idea, if she really wants to run, especially a visit with the very powerful and relatively conservative female Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel.
The polls show that independents especially think Sarah Palin is not strong on foreign policy. If Sarah Palin takes a trip to Europe and Israel to met with political leaders in the next 12 months, it will indicate to me that she is seriously thinking of running in 2012.

Cameron also supports Israel and favors Britain withdrawing from the EU.

I think he favors keeping the pound sterling and staying out of the Euro. I do not think he favors withdrawal from the EU itself.

[Stoat]

 I do not think he favors withdrawal from the EU itself. 

Agreed.  I believe that line in the article may be in error, or perhaps oversimplified, as evidenced by this EU policy page from the Conservative Party

The Conservative Party - Policy - Where we stand - Europe

and also this page

The Conservative Party - News - News - A policy on Europe that people can believe in

Another page that may be of interest to us Yanks:

Sarah in 3D

[Stoat]

OH NO! I haven't been to a movie theater in ages so I don't have any proper 3D glasses ((((sad)))))

Maybe I can find a pair at Archie McPhee's, which is (fortunately) not far from the stoat cave.

3-D Glasses - Archie McPhee & Co.

3-D Glasses

These 3-D Glasses let you watch 3-D movies and read 3-D comics without looking like a total idiot. As a matter of fact, they are so stylish you might even consider wearing them all the time just in case something you encounter is meant to be viewed in 3-D. For anaglyph 3-D only. Two pair in each package.

Would you happen to know if your excellent Sarah Palin 3D photo is 'anaglyph'?

Well written article. Thank you for posting this - a very nice anecdote for PDS.

[Berlin_Freeper]

i don't really know what anglyph is?

here is the link

I'm delighted that you've found it to be worthwhile :-)

Thank you for providing the link to the 3D software, because now there is a chance that FReepers will be madly posting 3D Obama photos everywhere....although I'm thinking that the 2D versions are scary enough!  Posting 3D Obama pictures may actually be against FR rules because I believe that they may frighten people.

At the developer's site, they show the type of glasses to be used with the software's altered photos:

so I'm guessing that any glasses of this type and lens color configuration will work.  Thank you :-)

Again, as long as she continues to put effort into getting a pro-amnesty, pro-global warming, pro-campaign finance reform candidate reelected then she will continue to lose the support of more and more conservatives. She may be endearing herself to RINOs but at the expense of real conservatives.

PS-The mind is a terrible thing to waste.

[sarah fan UK]

“she will continue to lose the support of more and more conservatives”

You can quantify this then?

[Berlin_Freeper]

or what about Helen Thomas?!

(you are most welcome)

I liked this comment.....

Snow White vs The Seven Dwarfs:

The GOP is now widely known as Snow White vs The Seven Dwarfs with Sarah "Snow White" Palin leading such GOP Dwarfs as:
"Bashful" Romney
"Grumpy" Huckabee
"Sleepy" Pawlenty
"Doc" Gingrich
"Dopey" Thune
"Sneezy" Barbour
"Happy" Ron Paul.

“Again, as long as she continues to put effort into getting a pro-amnesty, pro-global warming, pro-campaign finance reform candidate reelected then she will continue to lose the support of more and more conservatives. She may be endearing herself to RINOs but at the expense of real conservatives.”

I disagree. Unless you view the term “real conservative” as being equivalent to “idiot.”

Presumably you’re referring to Sen. McCain? If she failed to support him, she would be perceived as disloyal. She’s in a no-win situation with regard to his re-election campaign. She’s doing the right thing under the circumstances.

Or maybe you’re referring to some other candidates whom you perceive as inadequately conservative? In which case perhaps you’d like to clarify whom you’re specifically talking about. As it stands, your comment reminds me of something out of “Rules for Radicals.”
