Did you know if you are the Governor’s son you can join the National Guards instead of serving jail time for drug offenses.

Then there’s the MONO that kept her oldest daughter out of school for 4+ months. Why did she leave the local high school and transfer to one in Anchorage?

Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.

“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”

Religion, however, was not strictly a thread in Palin’s foreign policy. It was part of her energy proposals as well. Just prior to discussing Iraq, Alaska’s governor asked the audience to pray for another matter — a $30 billion national gas pipeline project that she wanted built in the state. “I think God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that,” she said.

Twilight Zone out there. Just like the current fuck-up-in-chief we have. Yup, more of the same bullshit we’re already dealing with.

Let me guess, man and dinosaur co-existed, peacefully; the earth is flat and it’s only 6,000 years old. Oh, and the RePUBICon’s got their massive tighty-whitey’s in a bunch over Rev. Wright – well, this one’s making Wright look positively angelic.

She starts dancing with snakes, McSame’s really fucked.

“I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.”

I thought maybe it was HuffPo, but I now believe that you are reading PrisonPlanet or InfoWars to get your “information”.

Sarah Palin thinks the Founding Father wrote the Pledge of Allegance and that they put the words “under God” in it. she said “if it was good enough for the Founding Fathers, its good enough for me?”

This is further indication that John McCain has BAD JUDGEMENT. John McCain has had cancer 3 times. the VP has a 1 in 3 chance of becoming the president. He thinks she’d be a good President? hello?

sources were saying that he met her for 5 minutes once. Now they say he never even met her ever,

She’s never even been to the lower 48 states except for a Governors convention

Please provide links to your sources!
This is the first I have heard many of these claims.

I listen to liberal talk radio all day. I read a lot of conjecture on news sites and the occasional blog. All the points you made do not sound mainstream to me, more like gossipy blogs.

Don’t pin this on Democrats or “liberals” as a whole.

Quantity over quality is always a winning move.

Ever since she was first elected to her hometown
Wasilla city council in 1992, Palin’s political career
has been marked by controversy and petty political
infighting.

Currently under a state ethics investigation for the
firing of Alaska state police chief Walt Monegan-a
process in which Palin has clearly lied and attempted
an extensive administrative cover-up-Palin has a record
of controversial dismissals dating back to her days as
mayor of Wasilla and for which she faced a political
recall. One of those controversies surrounded the
firing of Wasilla police chief Irl Stambaugh.

Reached at a remote cabin in Alaska, Stambaugh, 59, a
lifelong police officer with a distinguished 30-year
career, described Palin’s administrative style as being
based on ‘fear and retribution. That’s how she
operates.’

In 1993, Stambaugh, then a Captain of the Patrol
Division of the Anchorage Police Department, was
selected over several other candidates to serve as
Wasilla’s first Chief of Police. By all accounts, he
developed a sterling reputation in the small town north
of Anchorage in the Mat-Su Valley, with a population
then of little more than 5,000. Palin was then serving
her first of two terms on the City Council.

‘Wasilla is a pretty quiet place,’ Stambaugh noted in
an exclusive interview with The Black Star News. ‘Not a
lot of crime. Pretty laid back.’ But he did notice a
spike in drunk driving during the late morning
hours-between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., when Wasilla’s bars
were required to close for merely an hour.

As had been the case in Anchorage during his tenure on
the police force there, Stambaugh supported closing
down Wasilla’s bars at 2 a.m.

Ignoring the public safety issues underlying
Stambaugh’s recommendation, Palin, then a city council
member, placed her finger to the political winds and
sided with the bar owners and late-night bar patrons
who opposed the change in operating hours.

When Palin was elected as Wasilla’s mayor in 1996,
Stambaugh immediately found himself at odds with the
ambitious, often self-aggrandizing Palin. Indeed,
Palin, who was photographed carrying a sign declaring
‘Law Enforcement for McCain’ when she was introduced to
the nation this past week in Ohio, actually has a
lengthy record of opposing law enforcement officials in
Alaska.

When the Alaska legislature proposed expanding Alaska’s
already liberal laws to include carrying concealed
weapons in schools, banks and bars, Stambaugh and
several other Alaska police chiefs opposed the
legislation. ‘We were simply applying common sense to
the use of guns,’ Stambaugh noted. ‘Even in the Old
West, you left your guns at the door. Guns and booze
don’t mix.’

But Palin saw the opportunity to placate extremists in
the National Rifle Association supporting the expansion
into schools, banks and bars, and publicly supported
the legislation. When then governor, Tony Knowles,
sided with law enforcement officials and vetoed the
NRA-sponsored legislation, Palin came to Stambaugh and
let him know that she didn’t think it was his right to
oppose her on political issues.

Once Palin was elected Mayor of Wasilla, she dropped
the hammer on Stambaugh.

While to Stambaugh’s face she told him that he was
doing ‘a wonderful job’ and assured the police chief
that she ‘was not going to fire him,’ two weeks after
the last assurance Stambaugh came into his office and
found a letter telling him not to come back the next
day.

So, too, did Wasilla Librarian Mary Ellen Emmons, who
recoiled against Palin’s attempts at censoring books on
the library’s shelves.

She also asked for the resignation of Wasilla’s Public
Works Director, John Felton, who was replaced by Palin
with her political crony Cindy Roberts, who had no
engineering background but had extensive Republican
Party connections.

By all accounts, these were professional and dedicated
public servants who had simply refused to kowtow to
Palin’s extremist right-wing dictates.

A group calling itself Concerned Citizens of Wasilla
threatened a recall against Palin.

Stambaugh, who by all accounts had nothing to do with
the recall effort, said that it was eventually
deterred, in part, because Palin agreed to reinstate
Emmons but, more importantly, because of Palin’s
reputation of political vengeance and retribution.
‘People had to worry about their standing in the
community,’ he noted. ‘They had to worry about their
jobs, their businesses, their careers, their families.’

Stambaugh eventually sued, but lost after a lengthy
three-year court battle which found that Palin had the
right to fire city department heads at will.

Stambaugh then took a job in Bosnia, working for the
U.N. peacekeeping team there, before returning to serve
as Executive Director of Alaska’s Police Standards
Council.

Now retired, and an avid fisherman, Stambaugh is happy
to be out of the political fray. But he is concerned
about Palin’s selection to serve as McCain’s running
mate, though not surprised.

‘Sarah is extremely media savvy and has always been
good at promoting herself,’ said Stambaugh. ‘McCain was
obviously looking for a female candidate, someone who
was different, new-a fresh face. There’s been a lot of
excitement generated around the novelty of it.’

Stambaugh, a big bear of a man at 6′2′ and 260 pounds,
is not buying any of it. ‘Those of us who have worked
with her know better,’ he declared.

Apparently, McCain, did not do a lot of vetting Palin’s
political past prior to her last-minute selection. No
one from McCain’s office called Stambaugh, who served a
tour of duty in Vietnam following the Tet Offensive in
1968.

‘Even Palin’s own mother-in-law, Faye Palin, said that
she doesn’t agree with Sarah on anything and that the
only reason McCain selected her is because she’s a
woman,’ Stambaugh noted. ‘I think that pretty much says
it all. I certainly wouldn’t want her to have the
nuclear codes to our country’s defense system.’

As for her administrative style working in the White
House, Stambaugh observed: ‘I’m not sure if she’d be
able to get away with it in Washington. There might be
more exposure and scrutiny. But she’s certainly not one
to change her ways.’

If true, it reflects Governor Palin’s on her position on birth control specifically and on her self-promoted “social conservative” values generally.
