we have legions of people on this forum that claim the media is dying,

yet, they’re at it again—destroying a republican

they way they destroyed the public image of

president bush, vice president cheney, defense secretary donald rumsfeld

and the list goes on and on...

I only read page one of the four page article because it badly denigrated small towns and claimed that Palin’s biggest accomplishment as mayor was building an ice rink. Come on, do we have to read this sh## for the next 50 days.

This is the best they got? Wow

I posted the following in response to the Post’s article:

It may come as a surprise to many of you east-coast intelligencia that there was not a single thing in that article that could possibly support your misleading headline. This is why your readership (and advertising revenue) keep declining. We in “fly-over country” are so tired of being talked down to.

FYI- There are roughly 330 million US Citizens. 37 million of them live in cities with populations over 100,000. The rest of us live in smaller cities. In fact, there are 10,000 cities under 10,000 people. You do the math. Most of us live in places like Wasilla, not NYC.

Palin said she would try to obtain materials from both attack sites to include in the town's "Honor Garden."

And then the council and mayor returned to their normal business: approving funds to upgrade the public well, issuing a restaurant permit and taking up a measure forbidding residents from operating bed-and-breakfasts in their homes. After a lively debate, the bed-and-breakfast measure lost, 4 to 1.

Meanwhile, Osama was busy with simply the most difficult legislation he could handle:

Like Sunday’s New York Times article-what the WaPo thinks is a hit piece,
is actually a very positive article about Palin.
That is, if you like strong women, with principles,
who like to cut taxes,
reform government,
don’t tolerate waste and corruption and don’t cotton to community organizing metrosexuals with empty resumes.
I imagine the Obama people must all be bald by now
-after tearing their hair out because neither the WaPo nor the NYT could find any dirt on Palin.
And Gibson destroyed his own career, not Palin’s.

Horrors! A reformist mayor and governor makes enemies! Who could imagine such a thing?

I am infinitely more comfortable having Palin in the White House, with the many people who will go on record loving or hating her, than with Obama's near-complete absence of close friends who will identify themselves. To me that's eerie. A presidential candidate who has to hide all his closest associates scares the hell out of me.

Hey MSM hack (not the poster), kindly FOAD.

Palin took office as mayor in October 1996 with a show of force. She fired the museum director and demanded that the other department heads submit resignation letters, saying she would decide whether to accept them based on their loyalty, according to news reports at the time. She clashed with Police Chief Irl Stambaugh over his push for moving bar closing time from 5 a.m. to 2 a.m. and for his opposition to state legislation to allow people to carry guns in banks and bars.

I think I'm in love...

"I learned you've got to be very discerning early on and decide if you can win them over or not. If you can't, you replace them early on.""

Too bad Dubya didn't do that when he was elected in 2000. It might have saved him a lot of headaches down the road.

Write the author of this hit piece an uncomplimentary letter as I have.

Apparent a tip from the lawyer dirt line by someone who was asked to actually work for their pay and felt Sarah should have done it for them.
