McCain is using her attempt

McCain is using her attempt at selling the jet on ebay over and over yet, from what I've read, it didn't go quite like he is implying. She tired four times to sell the jet on ebay? While making payments all the while? She had a broker standing by? Evil Knievel had an ambulance standing by too but enough with the ebay reference McCain, it's getting old and by now most people know the whole ebay thing wasn't quite like he says.

And then the bridge to nowhere? CBS had a clip from that time showing her saying yes to the bridge and no we hear she said "no thanks". What's up with that?

MSNBC did an article on her expenses but in fall fairness to Gov. Palin it was a lame attempt to make her look bad as they also added the spending dollars from the previous Gov.. Kudo's to Palin , as compared to the Gov. before, she was a tight wad.

And then the whole library issue, I'm sure by now there are some pointed questions waiting for Gov. Palin about that.

I'll give her this though, from the pictures I've seen of her interacting with the people of Alaska, the woman is right there and involved with everything.

The video of her speaking to her church and attaching God's will to the war in Iraq didin't go over well with me.

The only problem with telling the media to back off until they are ready is, the media had been digging and will be waiting for her. Family issues are off limits but I'm sure the issue of Palin's abstinence stand might be tempting to address due to her daughter being pregnant and unmarried.

Okay, put me in the 20 percent category.

I'm not sure what state you're writing from, but I'm here in Alaska. There are some things that bother me about Sarah Palin and I don't mind putting myself in the line of fire to talk about them.

First of all, the wolf killing policy, labeled under "wildlife management" to supposedly increase the population of moose and caribou. In other words, to eliminate a good portion of the predators, namely wolves and bears. Sarah Palin promotes this agenda.

The state has given biologists the go-ahead to shoot wolves from airplanes, in certain game management units, for several years now. It was put up for vote to the Alaska people three times as far as I know. Two times the people rejected it and said no. It was on the ballot this year again, and the people approved it. It's my opinion that many people who did vote for it did so mistakenly because of the way the ballot was worded. But anyway, the people's vote is only to let the state know how we feel about it. It doesn't mean that what we think or vote becomes law. A lot of people are upset about this.

But what's even more unsettling is the fact that biologists this past Spring hunted down dens with wolf cubs and killed all the cubs. They didn't report this at first because they knew how upset people would be by the news. And guess what- it was upsetting!

I've always held the view that there will never be enough moose and caribou for the wants and needs of the people because of the population growth of the people. The population of people keeps expanding and the growth of the caribou and moose can't keep up. So the state's answer is to just get rid of the competition.

I do feel for the people in the Native villages who need this meat for their subsistence, but again, the numbers of moose, especially, just can't keep up with the people population. I've learned a lot about wolves in the years I have been up here in Alaska and have come to understand their social order and way of life. The wolves, too, have families.

There's more but I've went on long enough for now. I'm not a die hard environmentalist by any means, but I do care about ALL our wildlife. Go ahead and put me in the 20% category of Alaskans who have misgivings

The poor choice IS McCain....

Exactly! I agree with you!...

We can find out everything we need to learn before election day.
Plus if she waits longer it gives the press less time to research the truths and lies.
No bones there....it is an advantage to keep all information about policies till later!!! The Americans and the press that researches for the public can all wait till the Republican party feels it is good for them to release to the public what she believes....or what she is told to believe.
You know it gives the party more time to train her on how to act and what to say also.
It could look that way and it could be a negative.
Is she ready to be treated like the rest or not?

GO Mccain/Palin 2008

I think their an awesome team

Reminds me of Kennedy and Reagan

I have been criticized many times for printing posts about MCcain/Palin.

I love these two. I know its what America needs in Washington. Sarah Palin can give John Mccain pointers.

After watching Gov. Palin's

After watching Gov. Palin's Convention speech I would say she's up to the task of answering any questions put to her by the press. A little lipstick and she should be ready to take them all on.

They're afraid she'll put her foot in her mouth

She has no experience. She can't run a country with the experience she has. My high school class was larger than what she governs and she got help with that. I know kids in high school with more experience then she has and that's from the time they spend going on field trips to the Capitol and City Hall.

Why throw her into a hornets nest?

The media is frenzied right now and as unethical as they are behaving, I certainly wouldn't want to be in an interview (interrogation) with any "reporter".

Our governor Sarah doesn't need to talk. You outsiders make up your minds about what is right or wrong and pass it on in a blog like this whether it is true or not.
From a lot of the posts I see on here, most of you.
Outsiders spread nonsense and untruths anyway and it wouldn't make any difference what she did have to say.
I have an idea!! Why don't you Not vote the McCain /Palin ticket and vote for Barak Hussein Obama? You would feel right at home cause he has no clue either.
