EXACTLY.

The topic is not "...It's okay because it was a shrewd business move".

Every 3 or four hours I find out another one of her lies. I guess in her part of Alaska, they may not have high speed internet yet

Seee I am not Foreverking, I am TuborgP. We don't all look alike and aren't the same person we are each our own special child of God just like you.

Sorry just wanted to say the point where this got ugly was when somehow the plane sale of an item that was not needed turned into W....


What's wrong, pork fat is a good thing now?

I hope this doesn't mix with the "higher" revenues that are "suppose" to come from taxing the "rich"

I don't think it was her intention to brag about how she FAILED at her stupid attempt to sell it on EBAY.

Come on, we dems really do know what "IS" IS and You know darn well what she was trying to do here. She was trying to say how clever she was and wanted us to believe it was SOLD on EBAY.

BTW as an avid reader, you should spell it Shurlock, not shirlock.

Not sure he is having a good posting period. He kept arguing with me quoting another posters words as mine and posting their name etc . I hope he has figured it out by now.

Lets face it guys.. she didnt lie, and the fact that the Republican party made a big deal about "ebay" was to get Palin to appear to be more like "one of us", a common user of ebay.

It made great press when she did it, it made great press now.. its not a lie, people just assumed to much..

It would probably be prudent we don't start announcing private jets and such are okay for governors....when the governor herself doesn't deem it necessary.

We just got off the $300,000 outfit, hair, disabled children, pregnant daughter....ect.

Are you guys really that scared of the woman? Or is this another tides turning as the polls move?

Do we all still think for ourselves?

Republicans tend to Cherry pick. It was a Bush speech writer after all.
