On what Supreme Court decisions she disagrees with other than Roe vs. Wade--"Well, let's see. There's—of course in the great history of America there have been rulings that there's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So, you know, going through the history of America, there would be others. But, um. Well, I would think of any again that could best be dealt with on a more local level maybe I would take issue with. But, um, you know as a mayor and then as a governor and even as a vice president, if I am so privileged to serve, I would be in a position of changing those things, but in supporting the law of the land as it reads today."

"Oil and coal? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they don't flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not. ... So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here."

"What the federal government should have done is accept the assistance of foreign countries, of entrepreneurial Americans who have had solution that they wanted presented ... The Dutch and the Norwegians, they are known for dikes and for cleaning up water and for dealing with spills."

"I didn't really had a good answer, as so often -- is me. But then somebody sent me the other day, Isaiah 49:16, and you need to go home and look it up. Before you look it up, I'll tell you what it says though. It says, hey, if it was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it's good enough for me, for us. He says, in that passage, 'I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you,' and I'm like, 'Okay, I'm in good."

"Who calls a shot like that? Who makes a decision like that? It's a disturbing trend." – pushing a conspiracy that "In God We Trust" had been moved to the edge of coins by the Obama administration (the change was made by the Bush administration in 2007 and was later reversed by Congress, before Obama took office),

"We realize that more and more Americans are starting to see the light there and understand the contrast. And we talk a lot about, OK, we're confident that we're going to win on Tuesday, so from there, the first 100 days, how are we going to kick in the plan that will get this economy back on the right track and really shore up the strategies that we need over in Iraq and Iran to win these wars?"

"Unless government appropriately regulates oil developments and holds oil executives accountable, the public will not trust them to drill, baby, drill. And we must!"
ROTFLMAO!
Thanks for that!
(...and she has a degree in Communications)

Default I see fear in the DNC and Libs!

I have all read the post on this thread and it seems to be the same people beating the "lets Get the Palin"!

Ms. Palin represents the regular voter who has to budget our money to pay bills. She represents the sleeping Giant of those who normally do not get involves in politics. She is Pro US Constitution and is God Fearing.


The Far left fears the Tea Party because its about regular folks. The Donors of the like Soros despise the Tea Party and folks like Palin, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.

There is a war ideals Left vs. Right. Smaller Gov and accountability from our public elected officials will win out verse Socialism.(oh I am sorry "moderates!")

A woman of god? She had people at her political rallies yelling "kill him" and "lynch him" in reference to Obama. She encouraged people to shoot politicians by putting them literally in her cross hairs. She makes nasty comments about anyone who does not agree with her. A Kenyan witch hunter performed an exorcism on her. And obviously, God did not want her to be VP. Frankly, you sound like the brainwashed one here.

Palin would get crushed. She'd probably drop out right before the debates though.

That is a lie. She did not encourage anyone to do no such thing. Those were standard mapping symbols she used. You are typical knee jerk liberal who has no facts of truth and only spews false left wing talking points. How pathetic!












As for mentioning cross-hairs, lets take a look at what the left has done:



Was then-Sen. Biden talking about violence against American policy here?
The Cornerstone Of American Strategic Policy Is Now In The Cross-Hairs Of The Opposition Party.
CNN: “Biden Puts McCain, Not Palin, In Cross Hairs” – October 3, 2008


Dems Put DeLay In Crosshairs
Newt in the Crosshairs
You would think the Washington Post was clearly suggesting that Obama wanted to shoot Dennis Kucinich with this headline:
Kucinich in Obama’s Crosshairs

You know, you're probably right. Palin is pretty much like a regular voter (or at least a tea party voter) - hopelessly uninformed and completely lacking in curiosity about the world, yet still opinionated and thinks she has all the answers to every problem.

But why would we want a president who's as clueless as your average Tea Party supporter? Shouldn't we want someone smart, educated, informed, and capable of tackling complex issues?

Ok, let us review the Palin fiscal "responsibility," especially the policies for which she is the beneficiary. Please explain why this makes her "fiscally responsible" and please be specific:

$150,000.00 – amount RNC paid for clothes for the Palins.

$1,500,000.00 – amount of a tax credit paid by Alaska tax payers to TLC as a result of wages paid to Sarah Palin for starring in Sarah Palin’s Alaska.

$5,500,000.00 – amount of federally funded earmarks Wasilla received while Palin was Mayor.

$35,000.00 – amount Palin paid per year for the lobbyist hired by Palin while mayor of Wasilla to obtain earmarks.

$26,000,000.000 – amount of federal tax dollars spent by Palin on the “Road to Nowhere”, a road leading to the edge of a cliff where the bridge was originally intended to be built, but was canceled before construction of the road was started.

$233,000,000.00 – amount requested for the “Bridge to Nowhere”. According to the Alaska Transportation Priorities Project, a group promoting "sensible transportation systems in the state," the Road to Nowhere is an irresponsible waste. The project received more than $100 million in federal and state funding.

$197,800,000.00 – amount requested in earmarks for Alaska while Palin was Governor; a total of 31 earmarks representing more per person than any other state in the United States.

$3,000.00 – amount of debt incurred by each resident of Wasilla during the time Palin was mayor.

$50,000.00 – amount of city funds Palin used without authorization to redecorate Mayor’s office in Wasilla, including red wallpaper that made it look “like a bordello” according to Wasilla City Council member.

$1,200,000.00 – amount of debt of Wasilla had when Palin began as mayor.
$24,800,000.00 – amount of debt of Wasilla had when Palin left as mayor.

$100,000.00 – fee charged by Palin for giving a speech after resigning as Governor.

$250,000.00 – amount Discovery Channel paid Sarah Palin for each of 8 episodes of Sarah Palin’s Alaska.

Alaska's federal congressional representatives cut back on project requests during Palin's time as governor; despite this, in 2008 Alaska was still the largest per-capita recipient of federal earmarks, requesting nearly $750 million in special federal spending over a period of two years.
