But NO, you people had to continue sniping at her with false accusations and personal attacks on her and her family. So you got what you wanted.
Oh man. Dream on, dude.

First, most politicians do read newspapers regularly; if not the physical newspaper, they do look at their websites. The Washington Post and The New York Times are still very widely read by those in high political positions and those who wish to be. Palin could have at least mentioned her hometown paper if she couldn't come up with anything else.

Second, it isn't liberals who are responsible for Palin's fame. It's Palin herself. I don't hate her. I just enjoy watching her and commenting on her antics. She LOVES attention. If she didn't, she wouldn't grant interviews to the news media as often as she does - and it's very often. She also wouldn't have public feuds with the likes of Levi Johnston and David Letterman. She loves being the center of a story.

[quote=Metlakatla;9751868]Excuse me, but it is not my opinion that the city of Wasilla hired a city administrator for the first time shortly after Palin became mayor. It's a fact.

The trillion dollar debt is another thread, another discussion.[/quote]



The thread is about Palin writing for the Washington Post?

That has what to do with having hired help in Wasilla?

The way I look at it, she created at least one job and that's more than BO ever has.

"Our nation's debt is unsustainable, and the federal government's reach into the private sector is unprecedented."

Did you read the article?

Now that's putting lipstick on a pig. The truth is Americans will drive 1000 miles to see a train wreck. She's just the latest train wreck.

As if you needed another reason to find her creepy:

And this as well:

Well, if that freaky music in the background won't convice you, nothing will.

It is excellent and makes a lot of sense.

She said what I've been saying for a long time. Energy needs to be plentiful and affordable in order to grow the economy. Why can't the democrats figure that one out? Carter wanted us to put on Cardigans and freeze in the dark. Not much has changed on that side of the isle.

*gut busting laughter*

Because, dear sir or madame, Sarah Palin wants to be president, and the poster you are addressing is just a poster on the internet.

But then, you already knew that didn't you?

Oh gosh! Carter wanted us to exercise some self control. What a horrible thing to suggest during an ENERGY crisis!

Every time I think you can't outdo your previous silliness, you surprise me!

Seems they'll also buy her books. She gets six million for that.
