This is a video showing the actual killing of a wolf from the air. It's rather gruesome so thought I'd forewarn those who are squeamish about that sort of thing.

1. Yes, Sarah Palin Was Vetted

Yes, Sarah Palin Was Vetted

by dday

It certainly doesn't seem like it, given the stories that have emerged within the past 48-72 hours. But she most certainly was vetted, only not by the McCain campaign. She was vetted by the only group that matters - the super-secretive Council for National Policy.


The CNP deliberately operates below the radar, going to excessive lengths to obscure its activities. According to official CNP policy, "The media should not know when or where we meet or who takes part in our programs before or after a meeting." Thus the CNP's Minneapolis gathering was free of reporters. I only learned of the get-together through an online commentary by one of its attendees, top Dobson/Focus on the Family flack Tom Minnery.

Minnery described the mood as CNP members watched Palin accept her selection as John McCain's Vice Presidential pick. "I was standing in the back of a ballroom filled with largely Republicans who were hoping against hope that something would put excitement back into this campaign," Minnery said. "And I have to tell you, that speech by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin -- people were on their seats applauding, cheering, yelling... That room in Minneapolis watching on the television screen was electrified. I have not seen anything like it in a long time."

Minnery added that his boss, Dobson, has yearned for a conservative female leader like Margaret Thatcher to emerge on the American scene. And while Palin is no Thatcher, "she has not rejected the feminine side of who she is, so for that reason, she will be attractive to conservative voters."

The members of the Council for National Policy are the hidden hand behind McCain's Palin pick. With her selection, the Republican nominee is suddenly -- and unexpectedly -- assured of the support of a movement that once opposed his candidacy with all its might. Case in point: while Dobson once said he could "never" vote for McCain, he issued a statement last week hailing Palin as an "outstanding" choice. If Dobson's enthusiasm for Palin is any indication, he may soon emerge from his bunker in Colorado Springs to endorse McCain, providing the Republican nominee with the grassroots support of the Christian right's single most influential figure.

6. Kowtowing to Dobson, partial explanation
I think McCain's campaign probably vetted the top 5 or 10 candidates, then he blindsided them at the last minute. Can't see a minimally competent campaign staff whiffing this badly- Dobson or no Dobson.

5. Oh those pesky wolves.......more firepower is needed
Edited on Mon Sep-01-08 08:15 PM by amerikat
or else they will huff and puff and blow our houses down and kill some
livestock before we can kill them.

I suggest the full military might of the USA is the only was to defeat the wolf terrorists.

Carpet bomb those canine infidels.

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

Seriously folks to shoot a large mammal from that distance with a shotgun is just plain cruel.

I don't hunt. But I give great leeway to those that do if they eat the animal and use every part
of it for their own survival. I try to take into consideration, cultural, historical and spiritual
reasons for hunting.

My personal feeling is take what you need in a wild place like Alaska but do it with as
much grace as possible. I think Sarah needs to sharpen a stick and hunt that wolf or moose
with simple tools. The moose and wolf have not evolved in eons. It seems unfair to hunt
them with helicopters and shotguns.
