Eventually one of those bears they love will have a bad day, and we will be rid of one or more of these insane Liberals. And it won’t be the first time that has happened.

About Jessica: In her own words...
“In my own words
I am 35 years old and live in a remote cabin 40 minutes outside of Homer, Alaska. As you can imagine, this lifestyle lends itself to reading and writing. I moved to Alaska to study grizzly bears, and you can read about my work in Katmai National Park at my website: www.grizzlybay.org”

Maybe Jessica needs to move closer to people and their daily problems and lives. She might be able to speak with authority about people then and not just bears.

The idiots on the left.

They have unwittingly given the name recognition that Gov. Palin needed....no more arguments about her being unknown.

The more they write, the more good is uncovered about her and her family...Obama hasn’t run so much as a hot dog stand....and he’s at the top of their ticket.

well at least she lives in Alaska. Many of these liberals have never stepped foot in the west, let alone alaska, and they want to prevent alaska from drilling in ANWR.

who is this person and why should I care what she says?

1. Nobody really knows who she is...

2. You shouldn't care what she thinks, as she is clearly incapable of rational thought to begin with...

My email to Jessica:

My Dearest Darling Jessica,

Thank you so much for the hard hitting insight into Sarah Palin. Your hard work has given me more than 25 reasons to vote for McCain/Palin, the best ticket to hit the political scene since you wore diapers.

As I write this email, I have bear steak a sizzlin’ on the grill and my appetizer was a delicious poached salmon. I’ve never tasted baby seal stew, but I hear it’s quite scrumptious and look forward to trying some when I get to Alaska.

Keep up the good work,

Bobthenailer

hunting of habituated bears

IOW, bears that have lost all fear of humans due to not being hunted. The kind that are most likely to attack humans and have to be killed after they have already maimed or killed someone. Once they are hunted again, they will become "unhabituated" very quickly. Better for the bears and the humans.

Dear MoveOn member,

Yesterday was John McCain's 72nd birthday. If elected, he'd be the oldest president ever inaugurated. And after months of slamming Barack Obama for "inexperience," here's who John McCain has chosen to be one heartbeat away from the presidency: a right-wing religious conservative with no foreign policy experience, who until recently was mayor of a town of 9,000 people.  Huh?

Who is Sarah Palin? Here's some basic background:

  • She was elected Alaska's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience.1
  • Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.2
  • She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. 3
  • Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.4
  • She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change.5
  • She's solidly in line with John McCain's "Big Oil first" energy policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.6
  • How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.7

This is information the American people need to see. Please take a moment to forward this email to your friends and family.  We also asked Alaska MoveOn members what the rest of us should know about their governor. The response was striking. Here's a sample:

She is really just a mayor from a small town outside Anchorage who has been a governor for only 1.5 years, and has ZERO national and international experience. I shudder to think that she could be the person taking that 3AM call on the White House hotline, and the one who could potentially be charged with leading the US in the volatile international scene that exists today. —Rose M., Fairbanks, AK

She is VERY, VERY conservative, and far from perfect. She's a hunter and fisherwoman, but votes against the environment again and again. She ran on ethics reform, but is currently under investigation for several charges involving hiring and firing of state officials. She has NO experience beyond Alaska. —Christine B., Denali Park, AK

As an Alaskan and a feminist, I am beyond words at this announcement. Palin is not a feminist, and she is not the reformer she claims to be. —Karen L., Anchorage, AK

Alaskans, collectively, are just as stunned as the rest of the nation. She is doing well running our State, but is totally inexperienced on the national level, and very much unequipped to run the nation, if it came to that. She is as far right as one can get, which has already been communicated on the news. In our office of thirty employees (dems, republicans, and nonpartisans), not one person feels she is ready for the V.P. position.—Sherry C., Anchorage, AK

She's vehemently anti-choice and doesn't care about protecting our natural resources, even though she has worked as a fisherman. McCain chose her to pick up the Hillary voters, but Palin is no Hillary. —Marina L., Juneau, AK

I think she's far too inexperienced to be in this position. I'm all for a woman in the White House, but not one who hasn't done anything to deserve it. There are far many other women who have worked their way up and have much more experience that would have been better choices. This is a patronizing decision on John McCain's part- and insulting to females everywhere that he would assume he'll get our vote by putting "A Woman" in that position.—Jennifer M., Anchorage, AK

So Governor Palin is a staunch anti-choice religious conservative. She's a global warming denier who shares John McCain's commitment to Big Oil. And she's dramatically inexperienced.  In picking Sarah Palin, John McCain has made the religious right very happy. And he's made a very dangerous decision for our country. In the next few days, many Americans will be wondering what McCain's vice-presidential choice means. Please pass this information along to your friends and family.

Thanks for all you do.

2) She strongly supports big oil (her husband works for oil company BP)

omits the part about the folks in Alaska sharing in the revenue via Governor Palin

In the past two years, bears habituated to bear viewing have reportedly been shot at bear viewing sites around the state

The idiot tourists who are habituating bears to their presence are the real villains here. It does no good for either the bears or the humans.

If you wanna catch an extremely good biopic about an envirowacko, check out Grizzly Man. The subject of the documentary (Timothy Treadwell) is not too different from many other far-out libs, except that he took his convictions to the extreme and sadly paid the ultimate price for it. One of the most telling scenes from the film comes near the end, a group of tourists come by on a boat, and seeing a bear they throw rocks at the animal to scare it away. Treadwell is practically in tears over the rock throwing - however, those tourists were doing the right thing not only for themselves but also for the bear in question, but the guy is too caught up in his delusions to realize it.

I heard that they had a bumper sticker in Alaska that says:

“Vegetarian in Eskimo means ‘lousy hunter’.

“I can't wait for Sarah to win, it will drive them crazy.”

Perhaps the world should be reminded that Obama and Biden are members of the worst Congress in history. (consistent single digit rating) Which says what about them??

Of course, McCain is too, but his one redeeming feature is that he has been a “maverick,” a thorn in the side of most all Senators. (and at times a thorn in my side too)

This is wonderful....

Palin is driving the Leftists and Obama worshipers insane!
They will squeal, lie, scream, slander and threaten —— then their freaking heads will explode...

Selecting Palin is perhaps the smartest, most respectable and worthwhile thing that dumb ass McCain has done during his entire terms of office.

Too bad we can’t reverse the order on the ticket...
