Black pro-life leaders in Georgia today strongly opposed Governor Palin’s endorsement of gubernatorial candidate Karen Handel. “It is with a heavy heart that we express our profound disappointment with Governor Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Planned Parenthood’s benefactor, candidate Karen Handel,” said Dr. Alveda King, (niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) pro-life advocate and leader in the Black Pro-life Movement...

I think she is taking over the Republican Party as a modern Republican and as a Feminist. Both causes are problematic. I am less and less enthused.
Why are you here on this thread? The answer is obvious as I pointed out, and you just can't face up to who you are and look in the mirror.
Everyone knows what you do and what you are. It's a pathetic day when you call someone a cultist, pathetic cultist that you are.
If she supports a pro-abort politician then she made the wrong call. Whether she goofed or not is open to question.
Thanks Clyde. Enough with this fool with his cultist and insane obsessions. I’m heading to bed.
She presided over the funding of Planned Parenthood.
What a crock of male bovine manure!
Translation: Democrats for former Democratic Governor Roy Barnes strongly opposed Governor Palin’s endorsement of the leading Republican gubernatorial runoff candidate Karen Handel.
Oh, you mean hour long near weekly interviews to get his views out don't stack up well against inane tweets?
I know, DeMint's saving Honduras didn't match up well with Palin's PC scolding of Rahm and Rush for saying "retard", but hey, it's a start.
You sure do whine alot for someone who keeps stalking me.

Shame on you. :) Frankly, the PDS people wouldn't read it if you tied bows on it.
Yup. You nailed it
Palin is a Libertarian while governing, but a Social Conservative with her own life
Thanks for the info.

Black Pro-Life Advocates Oppose Palin Endorsement of Pro-Choice Karen Handel
Contact: Dean Nelson, 770-294-1047
MEDIA ADVISORY, July 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- Black pro-life leaders in Georgia today strongly opposed Governor Palin's endorsement of gubernatorial candidate Karen Handel. "It is with a heavy heart that we express our profound disappointment with Governor Sarah Palin's endorsement of Planned Parenthood's benefactor, candidate Karen Handel," said Dr. Alveda King, (niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) pro-life advocate and leader in the Black Pro-life Movement. During Ms. Handel's tenure as Chair of the Fulton County Commission, Planned Parenthood received $1.2 million over three years. During 2008 (the last year data was available) 49% of Georgia's abortions occurred in Fulton County. They contrasted her decisions to that of New Jersey's Governor Chris Christie, who recently vetoed a bill which allocated $7.5 million in state funds for "family planning clinics" most of which were operated by Planned Parenthood.
Handel defended her actions, stating, "Because of the criteria, regulations and parameters of the grant, Planned Parenthood was the only eligible vendor approved to meet the state criteria. Additionally, none of the services were related in any way to abortions or abortion related services." However, black pro-life leaders were quick to point that there are 222 Title X funded clinics in Georgia that serve low-income clientele in all 159 Georgia counties. Each of these clinics provides the services that Planned Parenthood does with the exception of abortions.
Said LaNell Babbage-Torres, conservative activist and founder of American Dreams TV, "I was stunned to learn of Sarah Palin's endorsement of Karen Handel! Despite Ms. Handel's evasions, it is clear she approved more than $1.2 million for Planned Parenthood. Unfortunately, Governor Palin's endorsement further obscures Ms. Handel's pro-abortion record. Shame on both of them!"
Dr. King added, "Karen Handel has proven herself a master of political doublespeak, telling voters she is pro-life while directing taxpayer money to the number one killer of black babies in the nation. I am deeply grieved that Governor Palin has moved away from her stand for life by endorsing such a strong benefactor of Planned Parenthood."
"Ms. Handel's defense that the money she directed to Planned Parenthood was not designated for abortions obscures the obvious fact that her funds freed up other money to pay for those very same abortions. As a pro-life black American, I humbly ask Governor Palin to reconsider her endorsement of Ms. Handel," said Dean Nelson, executive director for Network of Politically Active Christians.
LOL, looks like your being trampled by a rush of Palemmings!
Oh, and for the record, I will use the word "retard" whenever I feel like doing so, and if Sarah Palin doesn't like it, tough nuggets.
Sarah made another poor choice in whom she endorsed. It’s unfortunate that, in pursuing her “Mama Grizzly” strategy she is compromising some Conservative principles that I consider non-negotiable.
That isn’t to say that I’m writing Sarah off — only that her strategy is fatally flawed. Ans I’ll criticize her when she’s wrong. 90+% of her endorsements have been dead on RIGHT — as in CONSERVATIVE. But if it comes down to choosing a candidate based on ovaries vs. principles — I’ll take principles, thank you.
What happen to the 10%?
Handel is in favor of gay rights. She is a RINO. She does not have my support. Dean is far from perfect, but he is definitely the better candidate.
Ands another thing, with Palin making these kind of asinine decisions, it makes me question whether she can make the right decisions as POTUS??? She is quickly losing any favor she has had with me.
