NEXT.....!

[FrenchieCat]

What's the next story that we should focus on Sarah Palin to get out to the public?

Please make your suggestion:

[Coexist]

1. that she was head of Ted Steven's 527 -

that she SUPPORTED his bridge to nowhere.

[phleshdef]

2. Ted Stevens...

I need say no more.

[valerief]

3. She supports legislation that promotes the establishment of a religion.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

2006 Gubernatorial Candidate Questionnaire

The following questionnaire was sent to all candidates for Governor with their responses listed in the order we received them.

1. Complete the sentence by checking the applicable phrases (you can check more than one).
Abortion should be:
Banned throughout entire pregnancy.
Legal to save the life of the mother.
Legal in case of rape and incest.
Legal if the baby is handicapped.
Legal if the baby has a genetic defect.
Legal in the first trimester.
Legal in the second trimester.
Legal in the third trimester.
Other:__________________

SP: I am pro-life. With the exception of a doctor’s determination that the mother’s life would end if the pregnancy continued. I believe that no matter what mistakes we make as a society, we cannot condone ending an innocent’s life.

2. Will you support the right of parents to opt out their children from curricula, books, classes, or surveys, which parents consider privacy-invading or offensive to their religion or conscience?
SP: Yes. Parents should have the ultimate control over what their children are taught.

3. Will you support funding for abstinence-until-marriage education instead of for explicit sex-education programs, school-based clinics, and the distribution of contraceptives in schools?
SP: Yes, the explicit sex-ed programs will not find my support.

4. Will you support efforts to raise or lower the mandatory age of education? Why or why not?
SP: No, again, parents know better than government what is best for their children.

5. Will you support an effort to expand hate-crime laws?
SP: No, as I believe all heinous crime is based on hate.

8. Do you support parental choice in the spending of state educational dollars?
SP: Within Alaska law, I support parents deciding what is the best education venue for their child.

9. Do you support legislation requiring labor unions to obtain permission from their members before using dues for political purposes?
SP: Yes, unions represent their workers and as such, should be accountable to them

10. Do you support the Alaska Supreme Court’s ruling that spousal benefits for state employees should be given to same-sex couples? Why or why not?
SP: No, I believe spousal benefits are reserved for married citizens as defined in our constitution.

11. Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?
SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.

12. In relationship to families, what are your top three priorities if elected governor?
SP: 1. Creating an atmosphere where parents feel welcome to choose the venues of education for their children.
2. Preserving the definition of “marriage” as defined in our constitution.
3. Cracking down on the things that harm family life: gangs, drug use, and infringement of our liberties including attacks on our 2nd Amendment rights.

[Hugin]

6. Ha! Our 'founding fathers' had nothing to do with that being in the Pledge...

"Under God" was added in 1954.

[valerief]

8. Yup, yup, yup. And the pledge was written more than a century later.

[POAS]

25. "marriage" is defined in our Constitution??????

Can somebody point me to that Article?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

30. We need to investigate Calamity Jane's pastor and church

Reverend Mike Rose of the Juneau Christian Center apparently believes that the United States is a Christian nation and that armageddeon, the end times, and the rapture are just around the corner. Does Calamity Jane accept these beliefs as her own and how will they affect her ability to carry out diplomacy in the middle east if she ever were to become President?

[azmouse]

4. Troopergate could always use more airtime.

[FrenchieCat]

5. I need some more.....

I am adding this: What is the extent of Palin's husband involvement in her governance of Alaska?

[lligrd]

7. The AIP Story Seems Pretty Big If True nt

[eleny]

10. I read here today that he was involved in Troopergate

That he did some threatening. But I didn't read the whole article.

Otherwise, someone else posted that her religious beliefs are such that if she ever became president, her husband would be in charge.

[seabeyond]

9. i like the AIP story

i also like people getting to know the dominion, they are a really scary group

i think alaska and others are taking on the trooper story. it will already come out

[sandnsea]

13. That's absolutely the one

They're Alaska's version of the Michigan Militia. And there's video and it's definitely political. I posted it on the Southern Law Poverty blog. We'll see if they do something with it tomorrow.

[seabeyond]

18. it is 1 state against 49. 49 states to get pissed is pretty good. her on plane with leakage pissed

a whole gender.

[FrenchieCat]

17. AIP?

[seabeyond]

21. a group she is supposedly involved in that wants to succeed from u.s. and more. n/t

[sandnsea]

29. Alaskan Independence Party

Google militia alaskan independence party, there are plenty of references. Part of their mission is a secession.

Here are the two clips, one showing Palin speaking to the party and the other with the AIP President, iirc, saying she used to be a member.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHFY1otOWjQ

“Our current governor who I mentioned at the last conference, the one we were hoping would get elected, Sarah Palin, did get elected . . . .and there was a lot of talk about her moving up. She was an AIP member before she got the job as mayor . . .”

[Motown_Johnny]

11. Creationist? Many people consider creationists unable to reach conclusions based on evidence

Kinda like Shrub...


They decide what they want to believe and only accept information that supports their preconception



Have we not had enough of this type of leadership?

[Lucinda]

15. She actually supports teaching both

[DeeDeeNY]

12. She doesn't think about Iraq

http://vetvoice.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=1823

"I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq..."

[mnhtnbb]

14. I think the investigation into the ethics issue re troopergate is a good one.

[seabeyond]

22. a lot of people in alaska who have power is going after this one. mccain is checking out this one

and media has it.....

[WeDidIt]

16. Tie Ted Stevens around her neck

That informaiton playing nationally will drive her approval ratings down to sub thirty in Alaska alone.

[Greg K]

19. AIP, Ted Stevens, Troopergate

Too many to choose! Can't we just use them all?

[Lorien]

20. EVERYTHING

Hit her with absolutely EVERYTHING; both trivial and important. Hammer them. Slime them. Keep them on the defensive until election day and beyond. "Keeping our powder dry" is a losing strategy that has done NOTHING for the Democrats over the past eight years except make us look like a bunch of wimps who are aching for more abuse. WE can multitask every bit as well as they can. Grind them into dust with everything imaginable!

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

23. Look at all these choices...

It's like the Golden Corral of political landmines

[ginnyinWI]

24. That John McCain is an idiot.

His judgement is the main issue--how he is willing to pander to women and social conservatives and rednecks in order to try to win.

He doesn't put his country first--he puts his own ambition first.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

26. Bridge to Nowhere lying...this shatters her "reformer" argument

[FrenchieCat]

28. I like this one.

The Mainstream already has it, and we probably need to focus on it hard.

[vanderBeth]

27. I don't know...

there are so many.
