Put in ANY year, not just what they show, and then do a search on her name. I pulled up over 600 articles from 2005 to 2008 while just playing around.

Have fun DU'ers. You don't need to fly to Alaska to do research. You can do it right where you sit. Enjoy! :)

"There is so much information here, and it's all very technical," Palin said. "And all these things make for a pretty sharp learning curve."

Yup, yup. Golly, gee. Imagine the learning curve to be a world leader.

Wasillas skate park needs caring

Published on Thursday, November 12, 1998 9:00 PM AKST
The Frontiersman / November 13, 1998

The article starts out talking about a skate park for skateboarders and how home school kids hang out there all day and others hang out there late at night. Mayor Palin wanted to put police resources to patrol the park, and the article goes on about how the users and abusers of the skate park should take responsibility for taking care of it. Then it inexplicably segues into this.

This election has us witnessing a strange marriage between those who hold up individual rights as supreme and those who would amend the constitution to set limits on one of lifes most personal decisions.

No matter how you feel about human sexuality or family values, we have trouble understanding why the many candidates in this election trumpeting themselves as bedrock, dyed-in-the-wool Alaskan conservatives, who want to shrink government and reduce its influence in business and personal lives, are at the same time so vehemently supporting Ballot Measure No. 2.

The conservative candidates who embrace the passage of the one man, one woman marriage ballot measure are taking a position that seems profoundly incompatible with the political stance they simultaneously claim to embody.

True conservatives might better fight against any government measures that stray outside stewardship of the states finances and resources rather than wandering off instead to regulate morality, religious beliefs and, especially, marriage the most private of all human activities.

I guess the writer wasn't happy with Palin's desire to legislate her religious beliefs. Neither am I.

5. Palin is scary. I found articles that talked about how she basically

fired everyone when she became Mayor and then had them write up resumes to prove they would be loyal to her - IF she kept them. Oh, and that they couldn't speak to anyone on the record unless they had her permission. Even the town librarian! Could you imagine her as President if something happened to McSame? She makes Cheney look like Mother Goose.

7. Yes, she's from the ruthless fundie mold. I guess she wasn't called

Sarah Barracuda for nothing.
