Have your liberal searching skill disappeared?

Sarah Palin on the Issues


What do you want to know....

What does "avoid or refuse to talk to the Press." mean?

Maybe she understands the press is biased. I think if you would look even moderately you would see the record you seem to want to look for.

I want to hear it directly from the horse's mouth.

If anyone wants to enlighten me on how else she ventures from the same tired old playbook, feel free to do so. Like Ross Perot, I'm all ears.
I didn't get answered in the topic I posted this in, so maybe I'll get an answer here.

She goes to a Pentecostal church. That doesn't sound very non-denominational to me. I've been to Pentecostal services, even had people holding onto my shoulders speaking in tongues and all that jazz. And "Bible-believing Christian?" As opposed to a non-Bible-believing Christian? Verbiage like that makes me question where everything else I'm reading is coming from.

Well, we have an ethical probe and a budget for Wasilla that was left >$20M in the rojo as Palin left City Hall. Is this the meaning of fiscal conservatism these days? Why did she leave Wasilla millions of dollars in the hole?

I want to know why we need taxpayer-funded public schools to do this when we have tax-exempt churches with Sunday schools that are better suited for this.

Will parents also be allowed to opt out of the creationism teaching? Will there be more book-banning?

What the hell does "explicit" mean? Oh, it's a diagram of a penis. Big whoop. Maybe some straight talk might've done her daughter some good.

If I'm to believe what I read here, the press was fawning over her yesterday.

Anyway, this is by no means complete, but it's a good start.

Yes your very own Senator Obama had the fire wall around him during the racism charges and there was a huge media off limits time.

Ever see a VP candidate be accused of so much scandal in the first 5 days of being picked that she couldn't probably keep even the stupid rumors straight?

No campaign director would EVER conduct this campaign by opening up the gates to this lousy press before even a week went by.

How do you think she's going to find out about McCain's platform unless she has time to meet with him and review it? By mental telepathy.

OR is it just the juicy stuff ya'll are interested in.

The press doesnt deserve one second with her. Maybe they'll learn a lesson. I say give FOX the ONLY information.

Go see the nasty cover on US Weekly.."Babies Lies and Scandals "then compare it to the BS cover they did for the OBAMAs. "Why he Loves Her" all about her shopping at Target for Chrissakes.

Because the publisher is the Rolling Stone guy. OBAMA lovers.

I think you title is rhetorical. And your poll is a push poll and illegal if it were real.

BigJon, I had quite a few questions that weren't answered, if you'd read.

I have never registered with a political party in my life, nor do I plan to. No partisanship here. You could say I don't believe in parties, unless they're the kind with kegs ()

That site has direct quotes. The RNC is showing her history as we speak.
