Stumble It!WASILLA, Alaska -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she wouldn't hesitate to run for the presidency in four years if it's God's will, even though she never thought Campaign 2008 would be "as brutal a ride as it turned out to be."
In a series of interviews in the wake of last Tuesday's elections, Palin said she had no problem with Republican presidential nominee John McCain, but that she resents rumors she said were spread about her and her family by the Arizona Republican's aides. She emphatically denied that she was a drag on the GOP ticket.
"I think the economic collapse had a heckuva lot more to do with the campaign's collapse than me personally," the governor said in an interview broadcast Tuesday on NBC's "Today" show.
Palin also said "There were a lot of times I wanted to shout out, 'Hey, wait a minute, it's not true.' It's pretty brutal."
Nevertheless, the relatively obscure governor of Alaska, whose selection for the ticket by McCain last August brought excitement - and controversy - to the 2008 campaign, said she would be eager to do it all again under the right circumstances.
"I'm like, OK, God, if there is an open door for me somewhere, this is what I always pray, I'm like, don't let me miss the open door," Palin said in an interview with Fox News on Monday. "And if there is an open door in '12 or four years later, and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I'll plow through that door."
In the wide-ranging interview, Palin said she neither wanted nor asked for the $150,000-plus wardrobe the Republican Party bankrolled, and thought the issue was an odd one at the end of the campaign, considering "what is going on in the world today."
"I did not order the clothes. Did not ask for the clothes," Palin said. "I would have been happy to have worn my own clothes from Day One. But that is kind of an odd issue, an odd campaign issue as things were wrapping up there as to who ordered what and who demanded what."
"It's amazing that we did as well as we did," the governor said of the election in a separate interview with the Anchorage Daily News.
"I think the Republican ticket represented too much of the status quo, too much of what had gone on in these last eight years, that Americans were kind of shaking their heads like going, wait a minute, how did we run up a $10 trillion debt in a Republican administration? How have there been blunders with war strategy under a Republican administration? If we're talking change, we want to get far away from what it was that the present administration represented and that is to a great degree what the Republican Party at the time had been representing," Palin said in a story published Sunday.
Palin has scheduled a series of national interviews this week with Fox, NBC's "Today" show and CNN. She also plans to attend the Republican Governors Association conference in Florida this week.
Palin has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2012. She also could seek re-election in 2010 or challenge Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Still uncertain is the fate of Sen. Ted Stevens, who is leading in his bid for another term but could be ousted by the Senate for his conviction on seven felony counts of failing to report more than $250,000 in gifts, mostly renovations on his home. If Stevens loses his seat, Palin could run for it in a special election.
Palin and McCain's campaign faced a storm of criticism over the tens of thousands of dollars spent at such high-end stores as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus to dress the nominee. Republican National Committee lawyers are still trying to determine exactly what clothing was bought for Palin, what was returned and what has become of the rest.

I would be thrilled to see some new blood in the Republican Party in 2012 and beyond. But after these last couple of months, I think you have to remember, Governor, that what plays up there won't necessary work well on the national stage. I hope over the next few years you get a better handle on who we are out here. We're not a bad bunch, but no, we aren't going to vote for you if you aren't going to better understand us.
So let's start with this: G od doesn't care who runs for President of the U.S. He (she?) is a little busy now with other things. So it's your decision, Governor. And again, please do consider running. But it's your decision, not the Supreme Being's.
Didn't God speak last Tue.?
I'm sure it wasn't your fault, because you are blaming everyone else, except God!
She can't handle criticism that most major candidates endure, yet she wants to do it again? Well, then she better toughen up!
If she runs for higher office than she has to run as who she is and stating what she believes. Otherwise we end up with a canidate who panders to whomever they think will vote for them and will say anything to get elected. Sound familiar? Sarah, be yourself and let the chips fall where they may.
oh marlomille and amgray19, why don't you two just relax and let it go already. You bash any and every article on the govenor without really saying anything that really matters. "can't take criticism" she bit her tongue and kept on campaining without missing a beat, so that really does'nt make sense. "blaming everyone else but god" she stated many times the American people have spoken and they picked the other ticket. Folks, ya just sound silly with that stuff, let your anger go, you won this round, enjoy it, it never lasts long.
I'm sure it was an exiting ride these last months for Sarah, and she'd like to do it again. The crowd's adulation and worship must have been fantastic for Sarah to experience.
But let's be real. She often sounds like a high school kid, and her knowledge on issues is not there. World leaders should be brilliant and lead in the right direction, not just good looking and irreverent.
Sounds like Palin hasn't come off of cloud nine yet, and she's still too big for her britches. As the State earns less than $60 a barrel for its oil, and production declines, the real world challenges of our State will require more than Palin has shown she has.
It will be interesting!
Saw Gov Palin making hot dogs last night for Greta Van and mixing up some lunch for the Toady show this morning. In both interviews she wore the same fancy looking dress suit. Give the poor woman an apron! So she doesn't, like, ruin that Armani... She has a future filling in for Martha Stewart but, please God, don't open any more doors for her in government.
marlomille, "Didn't God speak last Tue.?"
No, he gave us the freedom of choice. He gave us free will to decide. He gave us the power to take the Bible out of public schools, he gave us the power to be greedy, corrupt and immoral if we decide to do so. We have done so and we are now beginning to reap the consequences which started many years ago. It's going to get much worse before it gets better.
CPW
Palin is more than welcome to run in 4 years, but she won't have the free ride she enjoyed this last time. She'll need to spend a year raising money and then will have to fight it out with a dozen republicans in all the debates and primaries. If she thinks this is going to be friendly and congenial she is sadly mistaken. Huckabee is apparently already criss crossing Iowa and his base is almost identical to Palin's so she'd better get started.
I'm just wondering, what with the two plus months she spent on the campaign trail, the time spent on multiple interviews and preparing meals for everyone this week, and then next week's trip to the Republican Governor's Conference in Florida... when will the Governor be available to tend to the business at hand here in the state of Alaska? Will she soon be able to look into issue of gasoline prices? Just wondering....
rooster,
I'm sorry I must be having a bad hair day, once again I posted in the COMMENT SECTION, my thoughts, not my total feeling, without asking your permission, once again I'm sorry it won't happen to many more times....
I swear, there is no winning with some of you critics.
She's not giving interviews, there must be something wrong. She's giving too many interviews, what the hell is her problem?
She spends too much time with her family. If only she'd spend more time with her family.
She dresses too nice on the campaign trail. She dresses like a hillbilly.
She has no confidence. She's too damn cocky.
Make gasoline cheap. Dont try to buy me with a $1200 windfall check.
Get that cake off of the sinkboard. You must live in Juneau. Dont mention God, or your faith. Breast feed the baby. Dont fly Trig so much in planes.
Then, to top it all off, you liberal Democrats insist on running the GOP, besides your own party. Thanks, but no thanks.
Marlo---
You still got hair?
So, I'm like, reading this interview with, like, the governor, and I'm like, whoa, the governor sure says, like, "like" a lot. And I'm like, thinking that, like, if she's talking to, like, God, does she, like, say "Like God, could you, like, grant me a victory over your, like, enemies? Oh, and, like, by the way, you're, like, a heckuva, like God, and stuff, and, like, have I like, told you, like, lately, that I, like, love ya?"
And I'm like, wondering if she, like, becomes like, president and has to face down the, like, Iranians, we'll she, like, tell them, "No more of this, like, nuke-yoo-ler stuff, like, got it?"
And if she has to, like, stand up to the, like, Russians, will she, like, say, "Like, Vladimir, like get out of Georgia, 'cuz we're, like, not gonna take it, 'cuz, like, you betcha we can, like, nuke ya from, like, Wasilla."
Like, wow, like America would, like, love to hear such, like, articulation from, like, its, like, president, 'cuz, like we've kinda, like, gotten used to it lately. Like, you know?
Like, Go Sarah!
LES,
NOT MUCH. I'm told it is caused by old age! PERHAPS!
Dear God, I pray my president in 2013 doesn't like, talk like a TEENAGER!
TAC---
Have you heard Sen Obama speak extemporaneously? He likes to throw a few uhs in there. Like between every other word. "I, uh, feel like, uh, the, uh Georgians, need to uh, maybe, uh calm down uh a little.
Stop, uh, inciting the uh Russi-uh-ans".
So, like, what's your, uh, point?
The best way for the GOP to ensure Obama's re-election is to put Palin on the ticket again.
G-les: My like, uh, point is, like, uh, whatever happened to, like, uh, articulation?
"G-les: My like, uh, point is, like, uh, whatever happened to, like, uh, articulation?"
That went out with G-Bush Jr. After listening to him for 8 long years Sarah Palin sounds like an improvement. At least she can deliver a speech without sounding like she has been hitting the sauce. Just don't let her do any one on one interview. She turns into Bristol
TAC---
I think articulation took a vacation after the Reagan years. That was an articulate man. Quick with the verbal jab.
"41" could barely speak better than his son. Bubba had (has) a gift of gab, but I wouldn't say he was articulate. He's southern fried, and full of grits. (Not that I don't like grits, myself).
It's interesting to watch people get so worked up about Palin's chances in 2012. I think President of the United States of America is way out of Sarah's league. I don't think she's a bad person, but I think if she were a bit more politically savvy she would have bowed out this time around. It's plainly obvious that she has little understanding of important national and international issues. I also think picking her was a desperate move by the McCain campaign. A lot can happen in politics in 4 years.... for all we know, Obama may turn out to be a pretty good President. I'll start worrying about who's running for President in 2012 in a couple more years after the dust settles a bit. I think Sarah has A LOT of work to do if she wants to be a legitimate contender for President in 2012. Just my opinion.
She has my vote again if she decides to run.
"41" could barely speak better than his son. Bubba had (has) a gift of gab, but I wouldn't say he was articulate. He's southern fried, and full of grits. (Not that I don't like grits, myself)."
43 sounded like he was full of something other then grits. BS comes to mind, with a hint of bourbon. Just to take the edge off.. A more stressful job I cannot imagine. Of course there was Johnson. Now there was a Texas drawl if I ever heard one!
G-les: Clinton always sounded like a Baptist preacher to me.
I think that's a major part of why distrusted him from the start.
Weird. You all may type well (or not), but I have no idea how you speak.
Shall I assume that a conversation with you would be like listening to the gentle rain on a summer's morning? Or would it be more like Perlman having his way with Vivaldi's Concerto No.6?
Alright. I am going to post again to show my support of Palin! I totally agree with Glacliers. That person is right with their comment. But I better watch what I say, because I know some will twist every word! GO PALIN!
IUR---
My speaking style has often been described by others as a cross between Elmer Fudd, Charlie Bukowski, and Norm Crosby.
I wanna, like, see some changes to our State government. Like, put guidelines on per diem, travel, etc. Like, make sure the gov is in Juneau when the session is underway, taking care of business. Have oversight on the gas line project so no favors promised or given. Make sure things are on the up and up with public input when necessary. I personally would like to see the line item budget published BEFORE put in stone. Just my thoughts.
Elmer Fudd? YOU'VE got my vote. now there's a man on a mission.
you guys ever hear yourselves on a tape recorder or video? not pretty. actually, pretty embarrassing. plenty of "you knows" and "uhs", right? you have no idea how stupid you sound til it's recorded. ok, I'll speak for myself, I had no idea. and I have an accent too. who knew?
Let's cut the woman a break, shall we? Vote her out in 2 years if you must. mean time, this is bordering on cruel. enough!
Dognabber: I counted at least fifteen places where a "like" or an "uh" could have been inserted in that posting in order to make it easier for today's politician to understand.
Cur: sorry, my upbringing didn't tolerate slang verbage so it's hard to make this stuff up. I want to see State government attract intelligent, honest people and stop the corrupt/greedy ones from getting in on winks and promises. Is there a test we can give before being allowed to run?
Palin needs to be careful. She prays that she does not miss the next open door. Well if a grand jury investigates the gas pipeline deal she may find the next open door is to a jail cell.
I think slider is right, in 4 years , if Sarah wants to do this again, she will have to start at the bottom and go thru the Primaries with all the other politicians, siding for Party affliliation and getting thru to be the Candidate.Then we will see how it goes. and TAC that was like... real Frosty..keep it up. DMN, time to close the thread before the Californians( you know who) attack. Just a thought. Stay Frosty..
Sarah Palin was a fluke to have been considered veep material. Maybe God was just toying with her with doors that appear to open only to slam shut as she tries to step through? She does sit and pray for the next open door for advancement to higher and higher political offices. That statement she said sounded mildly creepy to me! Praying for an open door..
Zet,
You nailed it.
Transparency and accountability.
Lobbying for TransCan in Whitehorse long before it could be considered "ethical".
Now that's a "heckofayoubetcha".
it's true, sarah better toughen up if she wants to run with the big dogs. barack never whined about being called a terrorist or unpatriotic. he proved otherwise with his actions. GW bush never complained about being compared to a monkey, though i can't say he did the same. thats just part of the game. gotta learn to accept criticism weather its fair or not.
majast---
You have got to be kidding. Sen Obama was the most thin skinned presidential candidate that I have ever seen. Every criticism of him was perceived as a racial insult. Using his middle name was perceived as a racist insult. Talking about his proposed policies was perceived as an insult. Talking about his record as a legislator was perceived as an insult. Using the term "former community organizer" was perceived as a racial insult. Talking about his Chicago colleagues was perceived as an insult. Criticizing his "spread the wealth" message as socialist was perceived as an insult
Obama better toughen up, and quick. The rest of the world isn't necessarily as politically correct as Americans.
If Sarah wants to run for President, she had better take a remedial geography class, and maybe read a newspaper or two. And I agree that Sarah should be herself, because she won't last through the primary season. Her socially conservative stance is a big reason why moderate Republicans and Independents voted for Obama, even though she can't accept that she was a drag on the McCain-Palin ticket.
Gov. Stupid needs to stay where she's at. And next time she has tea with Jesus I hope she chokes on her teabag. She needs to focus on right now, not 2012!
ANdrEw BRisEnO must be off polishing his Palin 2021 button or caring for his American flag, I HAVEN'T seen ANy unintelligible RaMbLiNgs iN his Usual RanDUMB Caps!
ignorant alaskan, oops I mean angryalaskan, and akhusky, and akunbearable (2013?), are you like teenage, like 14 year olds. You constantly whine and moan like your on your, well you know. And marlomille, those are thoughts? No, dear, they are slams and thoughtless slurs, you have never have written a thought that I can remember, just slams and slurs. Ignorant people writing ignorant rants, left wing know it alls that say nothing of importance, just like to read your own little blogs. Kool-aid for all, and to all a good nite.
COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO LEFTIES PALIN 2012, NOT 2013 UNBEARABLE ONE
ThaT iS 2012, NoT 2021! LitTLE DYSlExiC TOdaY! lOL
"Every criticism of him was perceived as a racial insult. Using his middle name was perceived as a racist insult. Talking about his proposed policies was perceived as an insult."
glacerless, were you saying by this that Obama himself was claiming these things as racial insults? I didn't hear this myself. I did hear a lot of this sort of whining talk from his supporters, but not him personally. I also didn't hear a lot of whining from McCain either. Anger, maybe but not sniveling over the unfairness of the press. Sarah on the other hand has cried and sniveled all through the campaign about the unfairness of everyone and now it goes on still with all the interviews ad nauseum. If she is to ever have a shot at the big time she needs to toughen up and act like someone who is big enough to fill the shoes of the president. She needs to say and do things that shuts up the press. If she could answer the questions asked, even if they are gotchya questions she could maybe make it. She is going to have to smarten up and stop looking like a deer in the headlights when she gets put off her game. The press is like a predator animal that senses weakness in its prey.
rooster, don't tell me to keep quiet, ever. I won't. I have to help counterbalance your drivel.
"akunbearable (2013?)"
Hey there roosterbrains, I was referring to when the president would be sworn it after the 2012 election. But the way you righties are already blaming Obama for every bad thing that happens today you probably think he is already in the Oval Office.
amgray19, the best thing to do with a loud and obnoxious rooster is to ring his neck, but in this case maybe a little "kool-aid", served warm in his pen would work better.
"Kool-aid for all, and to all a good nite."
roosterbrains,
So just where are you writing from anyway where it is night time, Poland?
amgray,
I agree the rooster is angry.
And rooster, if you don't mind, don't call DEAR. I put my pants on one leg at a time, just like you I believe1
My oh my, the winners laugh and shout, and the losers cry and say shut up and deal.
Now you must admit, that is a thoughtful statement.
Have you noticed how much jchickdud likes to whine about other people's supposed whining?
GO SARAH 2012!!
But, wait...didn't Sarah "talk" to God a month or so ago and she was sure she was going to be the next vp as a result of that "conversation"? Tsk...sure looks like she doesn't have a very good track record interpreting these "messages from above" she claims to be getting....
Regardless, I would love to see her run because then, hopefully, the Democrats could unleash Hillary against her and Sarah would find out the realities of campaigning like she never knew them. She was coddled by the Obama campaign. Palin has only had a small taste of what a real presidential campaign can be like and if she thinks this one was brutal she hasn't the faintest idea.
Let Hillary get on her trail and it would be something I would pay money to see. Palin would come out looking like the hypocritical fraud she is. She'd get her campaigning tail handed to her on a silver platter so fast she wouldn't be able to get a "You betcha!" out.
Bring Sarah on! Hillary is more than her match and would make public mincemeat out of our Carhartt Barbie.
"WASILLA, Alaska — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, amid speculation she’ll run for president in four years, blamed Bush administration policies for the defeat last week of the GOP ticket"
More media DNC coverup on TV, they try to blame Bush, McCain and Palin for the defeat. Tell the truth DNC and Barack Hussein Obama, it was all about the middle name, that won the election.
"The Press seeks weakness in it's prey?" It does unless the prey happens to be a liberal democrate and then it not only does not seek weaknesses but makes darn sure that any weakness is covered up, not investigated and any weakness totally ignored. The liberal media goes after anyone that is not liberal and if they can find no weaknesses they don't mind a bit making up a bunch of fabricated stories, twisting the truth, and generally making a silk purse out of a sow's ear - to use the old expression. As I have said a dozen times and will continue to do so. We know more about Sarah's clothes than we know about the man we elected President.

jrooster, you've done your share of slams and thoughtless slurs. I like what you write. Your not offending me at all.
ab----
The only thing close to whining that I heard from Palin was when people were taking shots at her family. Likewise, I heard Obama rightfully take exception to attacks on Mrs Obama. Otherwise, Palin took the hateful bombs thrown her way with style and grace.
I watched the interview last night. I didn't hear Palin whining. She seemed pretty upbeat to me. She was honest in rebutting anonymous slurs. That's not whining. Did you watch it, or are you relying on the AP interpretation?
You are correct that it was more Obama backers than Obama himself doing the complaining about perceived insults, but Obama did some of his own whining during the campaign, I recall BO talking about how (I'm paraphrasing) "They're going to try to scare you. That my name is a little different. That I don't look like the other guys on the dollar bill. They're calling me socialistic. I've been criticized, so it must be the silly season".
Maybe it's all in the perspective. What you call whining, I call explaining. And vice versa for the opposite candidate in question.
As for shutting up the critical press. The only way that could happen is if Palin were a Democratic candidate. Even the Washington Post admitted that their coverage was biased. The NYT, the tv networks, and the AP all gave one sided coverage. Besides history being made by Obama being elected, history was also made by the blatant disregard for honest reporting by the national press. It wasn't a shocker, but it was real. Look at the way that the press kept a lid on Obama's record and associates. After the vote, Tom Brokow said (again paraphrasing) "We really don't know who Obama is, do we?" Duh.
Boy ruffled your feathers did'nt I. Amgray19, I Never told you to keep quite, I said relax. Old unbearable one, if anybody else had put 2013, you would have jumped on that like a fly on a pile. And dear old marlomille, hope your ok, you sound a little bitter there fella. Angryalaskan, what a guess, hope your day gets better also, it's not healthy to be angry all the time, I suggest all of you head on down to Katies diner, where the real people tell joe biden the real problems they are concerned about. Try the grape kool-aid, I hear it lasts longer.
Glacier, here is an example of a Palin whine.
"Regarding information regarding my record that is now out there, much of it that was based on misinformation was a very very frustrating thing to have to go through when the record was never corrected. We would try to correct the record and too many in the media chose not to make those corrections or clarifications, and then I felt too often we were a bit defenseless in so many things that were reported wrongly that could have so easily been corrected just based on facts and…"
Life is not always fair Sarah..
That is my definition of whining about the press. You can think this is left wing press picking on her, but if it is all some liberal conspiracy then why did they not attack J McCain? There was lots of dirt on him, so why didn't it effect him. Why no post election interviews with him? Because he is a hell of a lot tougher then Palin is. The right wing press attacked Kerry in 04 with arguably more fervor then what you call the mainstream press did to Sarah Palin. The only reason the right wing (Murdock's empire and Rush) didn't attack Obama harder was that they didn't like McCain because he wasn't to the right far enough.
roosterbrain, you are always ranting on how we don't have anything new or worthwhile to say, but you almost always say the same thing and end each and every miserable rooster dribble with some BS about koolaid and Katies diner. It really doesn't make sense. Maybe it is Rush Limbaugh codespeak or something? One thing is for sure, it is mind numbing trash being pecked out on some rooster crap covered keyboard in some pen somewhere. I hope they give you enough space in that pen to stretch your wings!
I can see why politicians don't pay attention to blogs!! This is unbelievable!
Palin is dammed if she does, and dammed if she doesn't.
Obama won, so why keep running Palin down, you who supported him?? Just take satisfaction that his policies will prove you made the right choice, as he starts his term!! Are you thinking you will push her so far down that she will never get up???(think again)...lol, if Obamas policies are as great as you think they are, he will not have a problem in 2012???
The main reason I supported Palin, is that she is just what she is!! Not an insider. So many times, all you see from any politician when being interviewed, is well thought out answers, that usually avoid the subject, or are spoken for "sound bites". You end up hearing nothing! With Sarah, I feel you get HER answer, like it or lump it. If she plans to run again, I hope she remains "an outsider"!
She brought life to McCains otherwise kinda dull campaign. People sat up and took notice...
Again, as I have mentioned before, take notice of why you are hearing so much negativity from the Republicans, staffers especially. THEY are planning for 2012 for "their" Republican choice, other than Palin. I can understand, but not agree with, this. The Obama supporters just MUST have doubts about him, if they are so anxious to put Palin down this early in the game???
I am glad she is doing interviews, and I perceive no "whine" what-so-ever!! Just telling it like it is. Imagine any other public figure speaking in her place? You STILL wouldn't know where they stood, or how THEY feel..
Again, we here on these blogs are never going to save or change the world, so blog on!! My short little stint on a blog page is not very fulfilling.... Showing ones self imagined writing or debating skills ain't my bag. I suck at both, but so be it. What ya see is what ya get!!!..lol
Well said glacierlies. I agree that Palin stood up to the criticism and took it with grace and style. I don't think that Biden took well to any criticism (the very little he received). They even banned using a TV station in FL due to questions he got a bit "uppidity" about. So Amgray 19's statement "She can't handle criticism that most major candidates endure, yet she wants to do it again? Well, then she better toughen up!" What criticism did the rest endure - none like she took on attacking her children, etc. None other's were called such names as Caribou Barbi and worse. If anyone had called Biden or Obama or family members any of these names etc. I don't think they would have taken it anywhere as calmly and graciously as she did!" I think she is already tough and I think these attacks and exposure to what the national media can dish out will better prepare her in the future.
ab---
That's it. That's the whining that is driving the liberals crazy! Good grief. Because Palin didn't say "Thank you very much for the lies told by the press in this campaign, and the personal slanders rendered. Please, may I have another?" If that's what's bothering you, you definitely need to get on with your life. This is nothing. Nada. Zero. Compare it to the everlasting real whining by Gore, Kerry and Edwards over 2000 and 2004, and that should give it some perspective.
McCain will give an interview. Give it time.
Fox, Rush, the Wall St. Journal (sometimes), and the Tulsa Daily as opposed to the NYT, The Wash Post, the AP, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, CNN, and the George Soros empire. Oh yea, I can see how you would think that the right wing controls the media.
The truth is Clinton, started the war, left it up to Bush, to finish it! Good job Bush! God Bless America!
http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Clinton_bo...
"Fox, Rush, the Wall St. Journal (sometimes), and the Tulsa Daily as opposed to the NYT, The Wash Post, the AP, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, CNN, and the George Soros empire. Oh yea, I can see how you would think that the right wing controls the me"
Murdock owns over 175 newspapers himself, and Fox news as well as many many local news outlets around the nation and world. That is no insignificant thing. They all have one thing in common, they set the gold standard for far right wing media. I believe Fox News is now Number 1. But that is not half the story. A lot of the attacks on the Dem's came from CNN and the others in the past. Just the gravity of Fox pulled most of the news outlets far to the right years ago. Could it be that the republicans are in such a disarray that Fox and the others are going down with them?
Glacierless, You know, Republicans are not going to be able to win every time. If you keep griping about the left wing media I am going to start to think you are a whiner too, as well as a sore loser.
Unbearable, you are a bitter pill are'nt ya. Oh, and please don't include glacierless in your whiner catagory.
And the reason Katies diner doesn't make sense to you is there is no Katies diner, it closed 20 years ago, but joe biden said in the debate with govenor Palin, he goes there to get his information from the real people about what they are concerned about. But that never got published from your left wing media did it! And your to high on the kool-aid to notice yourself. And you have the nerve to call Sarah dumb.

Why do you think that Fox News is number one? Is it because the actual reporters aren't opining. People crave that. Opinion shows are fun to watch, but they mean nothing without truthful news reporting.
I'm not whining about the Republicans losing. I'm old enough to know that the pendulum is always swinging, back and forth.
Now, the people still griping about 2000 and 2004 are the ultimate in whiners. That is, until now. Now, it's the Palin bashers, who should be celebrating, but instead are still angry about an election that they won, who are the ultimate whiners.
good stuff glacierless, I agree, what about you unbearable one?
jroosterdude ~ you remind me of the little cartoon dog jumping over the bulldogs back shouting "get'em Spike, get'em! Bwaa hahahaha.
She's lied to you, she lies to you and she will lie to you and yet you eat it up.
I wised up after once being there cheering her on.
I now know better as one day you will too when you find out she's picking your pockets as you write.
Man, that woman can play a fiddle with all the cutsies at her disposal.
As stated before, the female pitbull stands putting on lipstick while Alaska (Rome) burns.
"Now, the people still griping about 2000 and 2004 are the ultimate in whiners."
Glacier..
The only gripe I have with 2000 and 04 is the fact that we let another trickle down in there who pushed debt out of control with unfunded wars and the resultant economic train wreck that we have now, all under the watchful eye of a Republican in the white house for 8 years and for 12 of the past 16 years a republican controlled congress. Oh well, the American electorate has the shortest memories anywhere.
Fox news is #1 because they cater to the high numbers of war mongers, bigots, and ultra right wing Christians who believe Dinosaurs and people walked side by side less then 5000 years ago.
nofanofpalin, your not invited to this conversation, so bug out.
Ahhh roosterless, where are your manners? I wasn't trying to get in on your conversation, just making an observation! Bwa hahahah hahaha!
jroosterdude: nofanofpalin overall doesn't like Palin. Yet, they reads every article with Palins name in it. Whats up with that?
It's called being informed...
Now, jmailman1999, I know your habit of misrepresenting the facts so I'd much rather you let me speak for myself! As far as reading articles about Ms. Palin, indeed I do, along with articles about a long standing hardware store being shut down (hate to see it go), votes still being tallied, oil prices going to a 2 yr low, etc. I like to stay up on current affairs, what can I say?
Watch out Goose, it looks like jmailman wants to be Spikes wingman! lmao
Pay no attention to the mailman, he lives in Ohio or some place other than ak.
Maybe Texas!
Is that true mailman? Here I thought you were just suffering from a wicked dose of cabin fever.. Or maybe going insane from listening to Fox News 24/7. .
Mailman is actually from Pennsylvania and appears to have a very unhealthy obsession for Governor Palin and AK.
An obsession like McCain had?

In the words of President Reagan, "There you go again."
"ab-In the words of President Reagan, "There you go again."
Yeah, but that is out of date.. In one of her more imaginative moments Sarah Palin regurgitated that one again in the debate.. I couldn't believe my ears!
Oh Joe, say it isn't so! hahaha!
Sorry.. there I go again...

I got the message loud and clear. Palin was saying that she is of the Reagan Republicans, not the Rockefeller Republicans. It must have been over your head.
I picked up on that one too Glacierless. Still not sure she is quite in Reagan's league however. It just sounded lame and fake coming from her lips. So much does!
Ouch...... nofanofpalin. Ouch. But if people were not interested in Alaska, you would have no tourism. So I wouldn't be attacking those who like this state, because very few people care. Plus, I like Palin. She extremely smart unlike the democrats. But hey, thats my opinion. But what do I know. I am just a hard working part time HCR / farmer. Ouch. I must have really hurt my name now by putting the farmer title on it huh? What do I really know?
glacieles,
sorry i couldn't reply to ya earlier. i had school today so i couldn't post all afternoon
in response to your response to my response, it's true that people perceived all the racial remarks and ethnic remarks and socialist comparisons as insults against obama. but see, as akbearable pointed out, obama didn't. he was not as "thin-skinned" as you attempted to make him out to be. not once did i see an interview where he whined about how unfair fox news was or how mean his non-supporters were. sarah does this every day. do you see the difference? can you not argue the difference? because there is one.
She needs to remember there were many of us (not too conservative female Republicans) so totally turned off by her that we began to look at the Democrats. As more was released about her antics, and the more she spoke, it became apparent she could not/should not become vice-president with, God forbid, the possibility of becoming president. We voted for the Democratic ticket. Nothing good comes to mind when you hear her name.
Hey Liberal Democrats -- Just wanted to thank you for screwing up our country! Thank you for ruining our economy! Congress is over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which are the leaders with the headaches right now. Geeze, I wonder who is in charge of congress..... Could it be the Democrats. Sure, president bush and his administration didn't help much either, but they were not in charge of these giant mortgage companys. WAY TO GO LIBERALS! WAY TO GO!
I know it is off subject, but felt it needs to be said!
