The picture of Ayers standing on the flag should pop up everywhere until all of America wants to know what’s the story with “OBAMA’S BEST FRIEND!”.

Getting a sympathetic judge to “unseal” a political opponent’s divorce papers and publicizing any weird or dirty details therein has been Obama’s very best trick to winning elections these past few years.

This time, he won’t actually have to order any of his own lackeys to do the deed.

Don’t weep for us, weep for the poor newsies here in what must seem a foriegn land.

My wife works with one of the Palin’s neighbors and she had reporters creeping through her yard like a bunch of low budget French commandos. We’re going to have such sport with them..... :)

I noticed that they closed it for comments. I would have loved to unloaded on him about his useless union as it concerns the rank and file (personal knowledge thereof).

An unknown mother of 5 from smalltown Alaska has the entire American left experiencing heart palpitations!

If a reporter approached me with such personal questions, I'd throw it right back in their face. I'd ask them some personal questions. I'd ask them why they are so un-curious about Obama's past..... Frank Davis, Ayers, Dohrn, Rezko, his mother's communist affiliations, his father's drunken statism...the whole works.

I guarantee you they love to ask questions, but they shut down when you ask them questions. We saw that with Newt this week, and I've seen it with Baba Wawa.

They're nothing but a bunch of card-reading robots. They can't think.

[freekitty]

Their plum crazy.

Those poor people in Wasilla. I just hope they figure out a way to make money off of this.

Of course they will. The motels will be full. The diners will be crowded. The bars will double their business. Even the kids can open lemonade stands. Enough foreign money to revitalize the economy.

[Styria]

In spite of the business, it would be a great time for an early snowstorm.

Is it legal to shoot trespassers in Alaska? We can only hope.

[HighlyOpinionated]

Why are the United Steel Workers so upset? They're treating her as if Congress isn't responsible for submitting bills to become the laws of the land and can't override a veto ~~~~ IF the UAW produces factual documentation to back up their claims to Congress.

From what I read here earlier last week, Union Members still have the right to vote for whomever they please as long as they tell the Union Bosses what they want to hear. And some Union Members are going to vote Republican.

I think this "she's not an auxiliary member" could backfire among the rank and file.

[IGOTMINE]

I can’t believe I actually hit his tip jar six years ago.

$40 spent and I am ashamed.

[Texas4ever]

I have it because we were sent the letter by union Rep. I wonder if they got an earfull from union members?

How can I attach it?

It was only two years ago that Sarah beat out an incumbent governor and a former governor. One would think that any dirt older than two years would be pretty freshly dug - I’m sure her opponents were using the biggest shovels they had. Their isn’t anything on Sarah.

“If I were a citizen of Wasilla as soon as the reporters arrived the town would turn into Dodge City just before a gun battle....not a human in sight.”

The press is just a delight to watch in a remote rural setting. I’m pinging Jeff & some others to verify this story, because I got it second hand. In 2000, some of us went to a place called Jarbidge Nevada for a 4th of July ‘celebration’. The press had been thick for days, some were cool. It was fun watching the bleached blonde ‘reporters’ climbing hills to set up a camera in heels. I digress...

When it was over and everyone (Media trucks and all) were heading out....on one lane winding, steep, dirt road, one of the media rigs (CNN?) started honking...he got in a hurry.

Everyone else decided, well, it must be time for a break, so they ALL stopped, got out, had some refreshments and good conversation and when the press decided to proceed civilly without honking they went on.

People of the land don’t like to be pushed.

The despicable vultures need to be ignored!!

Not sure how you attach it. There is an HTML toolbox somewhere on here. Good luck, as it should be attached for all to see.

[Big Horn]

Yuh time to dig out the ought 6.
