maybe the answer was in one of the book she banned?

from Time:
"Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. "She asked the library how she could go about banning books," he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. "The librarian was aghast." That woman, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn't be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving "full support" to the mayor. "

Posted by guest , Sep 08, 2008 7:43PM

@14- why is she awesome? she fired a person who refused to fire her brother in law after he divorced her sister, she knows nothing about the economy, she tried (ineffectively) to get books banned, she believes in abortion even in the case of RAPE and INCEST, and she's so stupid/delusional so as to believe getting rid of sex-ed in schools will stop teenagers from fucking, getting pregnant.

Posted by guest , Sep 08, 2008 7:49PM

@15: well, I understand that some of us are easily excitable, but perhaps it is time to return to our core values.
And besides, what's the alternative? Zero.

Posted by guest , Sep 08, 2008 7:56PM

@16- "I understand that some of us are easily excitable"
what does that even mean? and a person whose core values go against rational thought (like: human beings, once they reach the age of puberty, will want to have sex, so unless you remove those innate desires what is the point of getting rid of education that can show them how to not get pregnant/diseased?), and who is so adamant about certain ideas that there is not alternative (like: if someone is raped and they get pregnant they still have to have the baby) is not someone I want second in line to run the country.

And I realize you'll probably spin this as me going to the extreme but tell me: how would you feel if your daughter/girlfriend/wife/female friend was brutally raped and still had to have the child, since it would be illegal not to? Because McCain/Palin will appoint Supreme Court judges who will see to that become a reality.

Good God -- take a woman who's got nice cheekbones, wears size 8, and looks good in a skirt and high heels, put her on television at a national convention, and 50% of the population would believe she was qualified to lead no matter what drivel came out of her mouth. Well, the drivel would have to be about God, the flag, and not much else.

That bridge to nowhere? She actually supported it before it became a national embarassment.

The evil of federal earmarks? She hired the premier lobbying firm in Alaska when she was Mayor of Wassilla to bring home the federal bacon.

On the bail-out of Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac she's got a vague notion outline of what's wrong: big government, waste of tax-payer money, because that's always what's wrong.

How exactly McCain and she are going to make the GSEs "smaller," "smarter," and more responsive to taxpayers isn't spelled out because she doesn't have a clue of what they do in the first place.

She doesn't understand that the economy is now a giant Jenka game, and that if one more piece is removed, the whole shaky edifice comes down. Why should she? She has governed (for 18 months) in a state that floats on oil revenue, and where adequate public funding for state needs is a given.

With an education from the University of Idaho featuring a B.A. in communications, it's not as though she is equipped to understand a broader world.

Posted by guest , Sep 08, 2008 9:03PM

@27 - she went to something like 6 colleges before she got that BA. She kept transferring.

She has no grounding in anything business-wise. Finance wise.

There's a lot to learn out there about Wall St. Which is part of the economy by the way...I have a series 7 and boy, I was surprised....maybe she could study for that?

Posted by guest , Sep 08, 2008 9:08PM

@21
He may not always say the right thing but at least his pat answer is not "its gods will".

Come on with this woman. She went to 6 universities in 6 years, her Alaska church speaks in tongues, she DOES want to inflict her religous views on us (see book banning, teaching creationism in schools, pro life at all costs ect.) and the WORST is she has no fucking idea about the economy.

How long has freddie and fannie been front page news? Since the middle of June? And this woman has/had NO idea what they were/are.

Great she is an agressive self described "hockey mom". I have 5 friends that can be described as the same. However, their 19 year olds are all in University and their 17 year olds are not pregnant. Plus they have all had passports for the last 15 years. And i would NOT vote for any of them if they DID NOT know what Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were/are.

Does this woman and the fact that she could be heart beat away from the presidency SCARE THE SHIT out of you people. Are you not scared by the way McCain picked her? Have we not had enough of a president who makes snap decisions, based on his gut feeling, without consulting those around him?

We are facing the worst crisis (economically) since the great depression. We are involved in two wars. And the best we can come up with is a bible thumping Hockey Milf?

IMO, most are not exicited enough about how crazy this is....

There are a lot of thick-headed opinions on this site but the most dense are the people who believe that if someone is "hot," "rocks," or is a "MILF," that person should become Vice-President of the United States. I am so sick of dumb short-hand masturbatory slatherings substituting for rational thought. Get your hands off your dicks, your tongues from hanging out of your dog-like mouths, and your heads out of your asses, and start paying attention for once in your short lives.

Palin doesn't "rock." She's a fucking idiot. She was raised to speak in tongues. She believes that building a pipeline is God's divine will. A pipeline. Read the above comment about Palin attending a church service in Alaska right before she was chosen to the the Vice Presidential nominee -- the only thing off is that the pastor was a visiting pastor. But the guy actually said that terrorism in Israel was God's way of punishing Jews who haven't converted, and she sat there with her ever-loving TV-worthy family and listened. What does that mean about the almost 3,000 who died in NYC on 9/11? Were they being punished by God for something? The Islamic fundamentalists think so. Now we've got someone in this country who thinks right along those lines, but substituting evangelical Christianity for Islamic fundamentalism. Is this where you want your country to be headed?

Liberal Rock Stars to McCain-Palin Campaign: Stop Using Our Songs

September 07, 2008 10:52 AM

The McCain-Palin jukebox options are shrinking.

The latest rockers to tell the Republicans to cease spinning their albums are the women from Heart, who were chagrined to hear their song "Barracuda" play at the Republican convention as Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin hit the stage. Palin, a star high school basketball point guard, was nicknamed "Sarah Barracuda." The official Heart website states

that "Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart have informed the McCain/Palin Campaign that Universal Music Publishing and Sony BMG have sent a cease-and-desist notice to not use one of Heart's classic songs 'Barracuda,' as the congratulatory theme for Sarah Palin. The Republican campaign did not ask for permission to use the song, nor would they have been granted that permission. We have asked the Republican campaign not to use our music. We hope our wishes will be honored."

And on Entertainment Weekly's website

the Wilson sisters add that "Sarah Palin's views and values in NO WAY represent us as American women. We ask that our song 'Barracuda' no longer be used to promote her image. The song 'Barracuda' was written in the late '70s as a scathing rant against the soulless, corporate nature of the music business, particularly for women. (The 'barracuda' represented the business.) While Heart did not and would not authorize the use of their song at the RNC, there's irony in Republican strategists' choice to make use of it there."

This is not the first time a liberal rock star has asked McCain to stop spinning his or her tunes.

McCain Offends Van Halen, Sucks at Music
By Scott Thill EmailAugust 29, 2008 | 7:54:52 PMCategories: Events, Music News, People

Is playing someone else's song at your political function a copyright violation?

We'll find out sooner rather than later, it seems. John McCain might be at the forefront of that sonic conundrum, the way he keeps grifting tunes without approval. He's already been sued by Jackson Browne for doing just that.

This time around, he's angered the ax legend that made hammering cool.

The bad news? The tune is "Right Now," from Van Halen's Sammy Hagar era, arguably the band's worst. You decide.

Evidently, McCain's campaign blared the track during a speech in Ohio, at which point the band complained that he should've chosen Twisted Sister instead.

"Permission was not sought or granted nor would it have been given," a Van Halen representative told TMZ.

CLAIM VS FACT about SPalin from someone in the know:

--"Hockey mom": true for a few years

--"PTA mom": true years ago when her first-born was in elementary school, not since

--"NRA supporter": absolutely true

--Social conservative: mixed. Opposes gay marriage, BUT vetoed a bill that would have denied benefits to employees in same-sex relationships (said she did this because it was unconstitutional).

--Pro-creationism: mixed. Supports it, BUT did nothing as Governor to promote it.

--Pro-life: absolutely true. abortion under no circumstances, including rape and incest.

--"Experienced": Some high schools have more students than Wasilla has residents. Many cities have more residents than the state of Alaska. No legislative experience other than City Council. Little hands-on supervisory or managerial experience; needed help of a city administrator to run town of about 5,000.

--political maverick: not at all

-- gutsy: absolutely!

==open & transparent: ??? Good at keeping secrets. Not good at explaining actions.

--"a Greenie": no. Turned Wasilla into a wasteland of big box stores and disconnected parking lots. Is pro-drilling off-shore and in ANWR.

--fiscal conservative: not by my definition!

--pro-infrastructure: No. Promoted a sports complex and park in a city
without a sewage treatment plant or storm drainage system. Built streets to early 20th century standards.

--pro-tax relief: Lowered taxes for businesses, increased tax burden on residents

--pro-small government: No. Oversaw greatest expansion of city government in Wasilla's history.

--pro-labor/pro-union: No. Just because her husband works union doesn't make her pro-labor. I have seen nothing to support any claim that she is pro-labor/pro-union.

Posted by guest , Sep 09, 2008 1:22AM

I'm a Wasilla resident who knows Palin well. Read this if you'd like. If not, have a great day.

During Sarah Palin's mayoral administration most of the actual work of running this small city was turned over to an administrator. She had been pushed to hire this administrator by party power-brokers after she had gotten herself into some trouble over precipitous firings which had given rise to a recall campaign.

Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as a "fiscal conservative". During her 6 years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over 33%. During those same 6 years the amount of taxes collected by the City increased by 38%. This was during a period of low inflation (1996-2002). She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a regressive sales tax which taxed even food. The tax cuts that she promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they benefited residents.

The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration
weren't enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed money was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million. What did Mayor Palin encourage the voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she said she supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? or a new library? No. $1m for a park. $15m-plus for construction of a multi-use sports complex which she rushed through to build on a piece of property that the City didn't even have clear title to, that was still in litigation 7 yrs later--to the delight of the lawyers involved! The sports complex itself is a nice addition to the
community but a huge money pit, not the profit-generator she claimed itwould be.

She also supported bonds for $5.5m for road projects that could have been done in 5-7 yrs without any borrowing.

While Mayor, City Hall was extensively remodeled and her office redecorated more than once. These are small numbers, but Wasilla is a very small city.

As an oil producer, the high price of oil has created a budget surplus in Alaska. Rather than invest this surplus in technology that will make us energy independent and increase efficiency, as Governor she proposed distribution of this surplus to every individual in the state.

In this time of record state revenues and budget surpluses, she recommended that the state borrow/bond for road projects, even while she proposed distribution of surplus state revenues: spend today's surplus, borrow for needs.

She's not very tolerant of divergent opinions or open to outside ideas or compromise. As Mayor, she fought ideas that weren't generated by her or her staff. Ideas weren't evaluated on their merits, but on the basis of who proposed them.

While Sarah was Mayor of Wasilla she tried to fire our highly respected City Librarian because the Librarian refused to consider removing from the library some books that Sarah wanted removed. City residents rallied to the defense of the City Librarian and against Palin's attempt at out-and-out censorship, so Palin backed down and withdrew her termination letter. People who fought her attempt to oust the Librarian are on her enemies list to this day.

Sarah complained about the "old boy's club" when she first ran for Mayor, so what did she bring Wasilla? A new set of "old boys". Palin fired most of the experienced staff she inherited. At the City and as Governor she hired or elevated new, inexperienced, obscure people, creating a staff totally dependent on her for their jobs and eternally grateful and fiercely loyal--loyal to the point of abusing their power to further her personal agenda, as she has acknowledged happened in the case of pressuring the State's top cop.

As Mayor, Sarah fired Wasilla's Police Chief because he "intimidated" her, she told the press. As Governor, her recent firing of Alaska's top cop has the ring of familiarity about it. He served at her pleasure and she had every legal right to fire him, but it's pretty clear that an important factor in her decision to fire him was because he wouldn't fire her sister's ex-husband, a State Trooper. Under investigation for abuse of power, she has had to admit that more than 2 dozen contacts were made between her staff and family to the person that she later fired, pressuring him to fire her ex-brother-in-law. She tried to
replace the man she fired with a man who she knew had been reprimanded for sexual harassment; when this caused a public furor, she withdrew her support.

As Governor, she gave the Legislature no direction and budget guidelines, then made a big grandstand display of line-item vetoing projects, calling them pork. Public outcry and further legislative action restored most of these projects--which had been vetoed simply because she was not aware of their importance--but with the unobservant she had gained a reputation as "anti-pork".

She is solidly Republican: no political maverick. The State party leaders hate her because she has bit them in the back and humiliated them. Other members of the party object to her self-description as a fiscal conservative.

As Governor, she stepped outside of the box and put together of package of legislation known as "AGIA" that forced the oil companies to march to the beat of her drum. Like most Alaskans, she favors drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. She has questioned if the loss of sea ice is linked to global warming. She campaigned "as a private citizen" against a state initiative that would have either a) protected salmon streams from pollution from mines, or b) tied up in the courts all mining in the state (depending on who you listen to). She has pushed the State's lawsuit against the Dept. of the Interior's decision to list polar bears as threatened species.

McCain is the oldest person to ever run for President; Sarah will be a heartbeat away from being President.

There has to be literally millions of Americans who are more knowledgeable and experienced than she.

However - it is all true. You can do the research yourself (Google is a powerful thing) and find out each and every item.

She also went to 6 schools before she graduated College. Her first son was born 8 mos after she and her husband eloped.

But she sure is charming, and today in the WSJ some woman said she was voting for her, because she likes her (personally) but when told Sarah doesn't support Choice, this woman said she didn't know that -- how can you not know that?

People vote for people they like -- not on the issues. Very sad, this country.

Funny, all the Obama people can do is trash the opponents VP candidate for lack of experience and religious views.

They need to take a look at the man in the mirror.

Hey 64,

Here is how you should proceed, you pathetic fuck. Go back to your parents' house and take a shower, go put on some clean clothes, put your tinfoil hat back on and get your ass to the bus stop shit-bag your shift at SBUX starts in 20 minutes.

Oh yeah, there's no shame in admitting you're from Delaware.

OMG what a dumb republican cunt she is. That said, I'd still love to snap my fucking dick off in her ass.

82, indeed SHE is dumb, you sound like a retard.

@80: what is all the Na-na-na, some island song?

She is in fact correct. She is a few levels above most of you, who think that the GSE’s weren’t funded by taxpayers.
The GSE’s raked it in by issuing Agency Debt at spreads no other private entity could – due to the implicit guarantee. That implicit guarantee transferred the risk from the GSE’s to the government, then to you. If you do not think this will cost the taxpayers eventually, you are wrong.
On the other hand, if there hadn’t been a guarantee and the firms had been private, the cost of borrowing for them would’ve most likely been prohibitive or not worth the risk for them to originate as much loans. The implicit guarantee played a big role in providing mortgage liquidity, which in turn fueled the bubble, which in turn will ultimately cost you, or cost you already in the form of reduced purchasing power (lower dollar).
Sarah is smarter than you.

@85, that friend is from the rhythmic genius Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.

@87 & 85 & 80:

Clearly even Michael Jackson (#80) is pro McCain/Palin.

Although, wait, is this a good thing?

Yes you can.

re SP: 1) I'm wondering, does anyone know if she has ever been to NY? Most people don't live in places like Alaska. Would be nice to know she understands things beyond moose hunting and raking in money from the federal government 2) Re all her vaunted executive experience: the co-op on whose board I serve has an annual budget biger than that of Wasilla. Does that make me qualified too? 3) Why are all the fiscal conservatives defending her here? She was really quick to slap an excess profits tax on the oil companies.

@91: really, why don't you run for government?

Posted by guest , Sep 09, 2008 2:35PM

91 Why so? cause of my extensive co-op board experience? I'm handsome too. And apparently that counts for a lot. Tell me more.

Palin is qualified to give the President blowjobs in the Oval Office a la Slick Willy, not step in for him when he dies.
