Palin: Alaska ‘wouldn’t stand’ for Scott Brown
By Matt Viser, Globe Staff

WASHINGTON – Sarah Palin said yesterday that while Massachusetts may “put up with” Senator Scott Brown, the conservatives in her home state of Alaska “wouldn’t stand for” him.

Palin, in an interview on Fox Business Network, was asked whether the Massachusetts Republican was “on notice” for siding with Democrats on several key votes.

“Well, you know, take the consideration, though, that that's Massachusetts,” Palin said. “Perhaps they’re not going to look for such a hard-core constitutional conservative there, and they're going to put up with Scott Brown and some of the antics there.”

“But up here in Alaska, and so many places in the US where we have a pioneering, independent spirit, and we have an expectation that our representatives in D.C. will respect the will of the people and the intelligence of the people,” she added. “Well, up here, we wouldn't stand for that.”....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Up here in Alaska where we have an independent spirit": Alaska received $3,145 per capita in stimulus money compared to $1,781 for the next closest state.

1. Translating her gibberish: Massachusetts people are stupid and not part of America.
At least the good part of America.

2. Yep...
If you are not a brain dead zombie who follows the lead of the idiots running the republican party, Palin included, they you just ain't a good little right winger! If democrats did the same thing when a republican is in office and stalled every major bill just for political reasons, and wouldn't "compromise" at all, she and the rest of the morons on the right would be screaming bloody murder and calling them all "unpatriotic"! She makes me sick along with all the other brain dead right wingers that want to let the country collapse just so they can get back in power and screw things up even worse!

4. Well, Massachusetts didn't go for McCain-Palin in 2008 . . .
Obama 53%, McCain 34%

6. Is she jealous of Scott Brown?
I wonder if she's jealous of him....people have talked about him running for higher office before, even going so far as to compare him to Obama.

Maybe she sees herself as trying to take out the GOP primary "competition." :rofl:

She lends no credibility using the phrase "intelligence of the people," talking about something she knows nothing about.
