More things to learn about Sarah Palin

For those of you who think that all of the opposition to Sarah Palin is
from "leftwing" nuts; the following is a list of books that she tried to
get banned when she was mayor of Wasilla. I am not sure that Mark Twain,
William Shakespeare, Maya Angelou and Geoffrey Chaucer would be considered
dangerous to children. Judy Blume give me a break. Harry Potter, who is
kidding who. I also fail to see how Websters Ninth New Collegiate
Dictionary by the Merriam-Webster Editorial Staff should be banned.
This information is taken from the official minutes of the Wasilla Library
Board. When the librarian refused Palin tried to get her fired as she did
with the Safety Director of the State who refused to fire a trooper who was
getting a vicious divorce from her sister

She also told her Assembly of God Church in June 2008 that it is "Gods
Will" that the federal government contribute to the expansion of the Alaska
pipeline. (M ust have been talking to George Bush). She sounds like one of
those lawyers Bush put into the justice department.

This is the list of books Palin tried to have banned. As many of you will
notice it is a hit parade for book burners.

Quixoticish

I dont know enough about the US political situation to comment either way but that list is fake, as with everything else circulated via e-mail. Apparently she tried to get books banned at one stage in the past from what I can gather, but this list was cobbled together from nothing.

Yeah it seems like a hen of a fether, she did an oral inquire about it though.

There are going to be a lot of these flying around, from people on both sides of the US political system. It does seem though that the republicans are more capable of pulling it off as their potential supporters are more likely to believe their propaganda.

It is simple whatsit Rice is in a position where no one likes her so she could not run but because Obama did not pick a women (clinton) running m8 they thought they can grab her votes by having a female vice president candidate. So Mcaines people did their thing looked around and found the closest that fit their profile they were looking for. She has some background so it is the old case of take her in wash her up, put some spin on who she is and try their best to hide her past (which is impossible these days)

Does America want another president who has the same similar issues of the current one of knowing the simple things like how many bloody houses you own or if while slating the other guy about not turning up to a vote actually realising he did not either, or slating a guy for a saying and not realise he has said it on more then one occasion also?
All the smart ones will not and the worlds choice under surveys is Obama, it is just down to all the dumb americans and who they vote for this time, but that is a bit harsh since Clinton bar his scandal was actually a very good president.

Serious

bear, Palin is about as far right as Ronnie Raygun was, so none of that is surprising. I certainly dont think shes a good choice, but her hard line republicanisim will help ovenchip to keep the party members in line. TBH ovenchip isnt even a moderate Republican, even though he tries to pretend he is.


bear

An old swedish reporter (Eric Ericsson) remembered ajournal film about chip the day after he was released from
captivity and he limped  but had no crutches and looked like being in good health, this is not shown in the propaganda films mae of him, in the propaganda film he has crutches !!! but that is year later then he just had surgery done to fix broken bone that was healed wrongly.

Shes a pathological liar and there are a few sites doing a running tally. She says what she wants and needs to say in an interview or situation to suit it and is either super dimb witted to realise or does not care.
I read yesterday of 3 interviews in recent weeks with her and each having a few of the same subjects and depending on the line of questions she said completely different responses to suit and all very different. Some clips on youtube showing this and then one person putting it too her and her out right denying it all. When told they are on the web and youtube to prove her wrong she walked off.

She is there to get the Clinton votes for them and a token female position and doing a very bad job of it.

Honestly, will America be in a better position with a guy over 70 nearly 80 and a women who is an out right liar?

I cant believe people get these e-mail forwards and then blindly accept them as fact.
