Sarah Palin may be — well, let's face it, she is — a polarizing political figure. We differ with her on many topics, but we support her right as a private citizen to make good money for her public appearances. A California state senator's attacks on her contract with Cal State Stanislaus are off base and weaken his original, stronger argument for better public disclosure by private foundations that raise funds for state universities.

Leland Yee is a stupid Jackass.

He keeps proving it over & over & has done so for faaaar tooo many years.

The Asian population keeps re-electing him.

He is the Northern California version of Henry Waxman.

It’s the media who reports about her who are polarizing! Obambi is the most polarizing President in history but you never hear the media describe him that way!

There’s that word again...polarizing. It killed them to actually side with her on something so they had to get the ever-present “polarizing” in there.

We should start a list of words from the SRM which transform genuine (albeit grudging) praise of Palin into a "left-handed compliment." We can begin with the word "polarizing."

.
And blacks re-elect blacks regardless of the level of the candidate’s stupidity.

Don’t believe the saying that our strength lies in our diversity — it’s entirely the opposite.

Roland Yee (Communist-CA) had no issue whatsover in regards to the fees paid to William “Bill” Ayers (convicted domestic terrorist/far Left radical) at Fresno State.

Yee also is huge Nanny Stater, loving bans and regulations to end behavior.

How much money have the Clinton's made from speaking fees? How about Al Gore and dozens of others? Palin has these people so scared they pee themselves every time she does speak.

“...a polarizing political figure...”

Defined as someone the Rinos and Marxists have not vetted for office. A wild card.
