This Republican Alaska state senator on Rachel's show

[SharonRB]

is refuting so much of what Palin has said.

At least no one can say she's partisan.

1. Where have you been? They can and will say anything.

A basis in reality is not a prerequisite for Republican talking points.

[1corona4u]

3. I think you missed the OP's point....

she was a republican AGAINST Palin.

[SharonRB]

5. Thank you.

Maybe I should have been more specific, but you got it right. It was a thing of beauty!

[DCBob]

2. Yeah. That was pretty devastating. Even AK Repubs can't stand Palin.

Obama should get that lady to do an ad.

[SharonRB]

6. That's a great idea! n/t

4. In fact, she is the President of AK State Senate

She sounded very professional and her criticisms seemed reasonable and legitimate.

7. Female Republican Leader of Senate Former Professional Friend of Palin

Courageous person to speak the truth. Amazing truths. Talked about Palin's campaigning continuing after election/no governing. Talked about the influence of Todd Palin over policy. Incredible - said Sarah turned on her b/c she would not endorse Sarah over sitting Governor. She remained neutral in primary.

If Lieberman and Countess Rothschild can be touted over and over as Democrats for McCain, this woman's words ought to be repeated by Obama's campaign over and over again.

8. Was that Lyda?

I switched over to the nightly news at the halfway point, but I'll be picking up the repeat here in a half hour. If it was Lyda, there's certainly no love lost between her and Sarah, that's for sure. This whole thing has made such strange alliances here -- kind of like the lions lying down with the lambs. Geez -- maybe it IS the End Days. :rofl:

10. Mudflats!! Thanks Blue~

<snips> Strange Bedfellows..


"But there is one thing that Dan Fagan is not at the moment, and that is a Palin fan. If you’ll recall the emails from Sarah Palin’s hacked Yahoo! account that made it on the web, there was an exchange between Palin and her Lt. Governor Sean Parnell, bemoaning Fagan’s treatment of Parnell (a congressional candidate at the time) during his appearance as a guest on Fagan’s radio show. In Palin’s email response, she said,

“His fighting you reveals some evil stuff going on with him. Does he want
someone OPPOSED to the life issue in Congress?”

“Evil?” Zounds! Fagan’s been called a lot of names, but I don’t think he’s ever been called ‘evil’. And, do we infer that Palin thinks that everyone out there who believes in reproductive choice has “evil stuff going on” with them?"

<snip snip>

"This brings us to today. Fagan has come out with an interesting opinion piece in the Anchorage Daily News. Here’s a bit of what he had to say:"

The real damage to Palin from Troopergate comes with an injury claim involving trooper Wooten when he hurt his back while in the line of duty.

Independent investigator Steve Branchflower testified recently he believes someone in the governor’s office tried to block Wooten’s workers’ compensation injury benefits.

Harbor Adjustment Services, the company hired by the state to process, evaluate and decide on workers’ benefit claims, had great financial incentive in bowing to pressure from the governor to deny Wooten’s injury claim."

YOWZER!

9. Beautiful! Love it when the republicans are

speaking out against palin and mccain!

11. I'm sure Lyda would have been okay with McCain

but it's personal between her and Sarah. I don't know who started it, but they really don't care for each other.

[Cha]

12. Yeah, too bad..

}( palin makes the wrong kind of enemies..I love that Dan Fagan Op Ed on mudflats..

"19 days and counting until special investigator Stephen Branchflower’s report on his findings in this investigation."

[Blue_In_AK]

13. It's sweet having the Republicans

speaking out on Sarah's "ways." These are no partisan attacks, they can't be blamed on the Obama campaign. It really couldn't get any better. :evilgrin:

If you had told me three months ago I'd be cheering on Lyda Green and Dan Fagan in an election season, my head would have exploded.

14. Strange Indeed

Bedfellows!
