| Sarah Palin blows fairy dust at Republican true believers |
Just one week after Sarah Palin stepped down as governor of Alaska, Alaskan lawmakers succeeded in overriding her veto of federal stimulus dollars.
The legislature has voted 45-15 in favor of overturning the former governor’s veto of more than $28 million in Recovery Act funds targeted toward energy efficiency projects.
The Alaska legislature met for a one-day special session in Anchorage. Heading into the vote, Rep. Mike Hawker, who voted in support of finally accepting the stimulus funds, anticipated a close decision, coming down to a couple of votes either way…
State lawmakers dispute Palin’s objections to the stimulus money. In a letter to Alaska House Finance Committee Co-Chair Rep. Mike Hawker and obtained by CNN, the Department of Energy wrote that the Alaska legislature “does not need to adopt, impose and enforce a statewide building code” in order to qualify for the energy funds.
Palin originally threatened to reject more than $400 million of the state’s $930 million share of the stimulus package. Eventually Palin signed off on all but the three percent under consideration Monday by state lawmakers.
Another 14th Century mind in a 20th Century Republican skull.
“I wonder how many of them think Jessica Simpson would be a good President?”
Almost as many who thought BO would be a good president.
Damn, I just hate it when I do that. I posted too soon, sorry.
Gooddebate, try #9, faxon
#11, Mr. Diesel,
As did #14, 15, & 17,
I don’t think she is a particularly attractive woman. Some might, but that is their cup of tea. The one credit I give her is still keeping slim after three children and two grandchildren.
And also, I see that Palin is still on the lefts ‘must destroy’ list, why is that? She’s not on the political radar and she’s not jeopardizing anyone’s position in congress or anywhere else. Is it fear? Of what? What influence does she have that would warrant this?
I’m down to this as my only explanation. There’s a feeling on the left that somehow, some way through some freak set of circumstances that she could gain some real power. On top of that, the feeling goes, there will be no way to stop the momentum if it starts so marginalizing her won’t work. The only option is to pre-emptively destroy her.
Wonder if I’m close, just a guess.
Ya’ gotta love that reverse gear.

Ok, I’m still looking through your quote for ‘will be successful becuase…’ I did find “…and she will shake up politics again…” See ‘and’ and ‘because’ are not the same. Now at this point you can either agree, agree to disagree or keep posting “yes it is, nya”.
As for the other posts I don’t see ‘because’ there either. # 14, obviously tongue in cheek to poke fun at you, #15 again childish poking fun at the dems, #17 don’t get the connection to your argument, again obviously making fun of you. But it does look like you answer these silly posts with “I don’t think she is a particularly attractive woman.” You actually answered the childish poking fun at you? And you actually gave that answer?
#22 Fusion & #25 Gooddebate,
I said “political boner”, it has nothing to do with her appearance.
Mr Fusion
Don’t confuse the fact that I like the way she looks with wanting her to do good in the political arena.
Schoolmarm hot
VP uh not so much
# 25 gooddebate
Good debate eh?
Fusions point is fair enough. Your deflection is to say ah but its all a joke. Brilliant. Well maybe it is and maybe it isn’t. Perhaps you are aware of the observation ‘there is generally grain of truth in humor’.
And on your point about the ‘lefts ‘must destroy’ list’.
Seems to me whats going on is that she just won’t shut the hell up. And what she says is generally idiotic. Like the death panel idiocy (which even high ranking Republicans say is stupid) and thats gets on the news. Why? Well because she was the Republican vice president candidate. A car crash. She looks purdy. It embarrasses members of the Republican party. And so on, and on and on.
It’s not a mystery.
The democrats hardly need to ‘attack’ her. Shes pretty good at destroying herself, and unfortunately somewhat taking the Republican party down with her. So if I was in the dem leadership – I’d just leave her to it.
The idea that she’s a ‘threat’ is frankly as funny as most of what she says.
It’s all jokes.
I don’t think she is a particularly attractive woman. Some might, but that is their cup of tea.
Yeah, what a dog with that hourglass figure, healthy complexion and hair, clear eyes, pointed chin and nose, full lips. Yeah, really nasty looking.
Palin’s one hot momma…she’s got my vote…freedom loving pioneering soul…my political soul mate.
She was right to turn down that money till the clarification came…as long as Alaska doesn’t have to dance to washington’s tune…take their money…fools and their money are soon parted…
The treasury is bankrupt thanks to the 2006 Democratic win, since then they mismanaged everything…we are now broke…and they think killing off sickly seniors will save them money…think again.
Ha. You can gauge the intelligence behind the Republican supporters when they say things like ‘Palin’s one hot mamma…shes got my vote’. Sheep.
Sarah who?
#30 Alfred1 said “Palin’s one hot momma…she’s got my vote”
OK, I just ate supper. Easy stomach, easy….
>> Another 14th Century mind in a 20th Century Republican skull.
But it’s the 21st Century right now. So she’s 100 years off?
Paris Hilton or Sarah Palin? Which one would be higher maintenance?
Her face might be cute but I bet her giant pussy lips flap around like the stars and stripes in a stiff wind.
Anytime a woman has that many kids its like tossing a hot dog down a hallway. Even if she had a c-section, Todd pulverized those meat-curtains into hamburger a long time ago.
Nice visuals eh? I’d still tap that ass though, even if it is like fucking a cup of water.
U all just jealous…Hillary Clinton, the shrill? The best looking babes, are conservatives.
They know where the real men are.
Whoopie Do. She held back on all of a lousy 3% the federal funds. Probably just to make a name for herself as a “reformer”. And left office, so they could overturn her 3% veto. Probably planned it that way. Or maybe she was threatened somehow, if she did vamoose. One wonders who she would have turned her VP job over to, after it got a bit too tough (or dangerous) for her?
#36, Walter, haha
#23, good,
And also, I see that Palin is still on the lefts ‘must destroy’ list, why is that? She’s not on the political radar and she’s not jeopardizing anyone’s position in congress or anywhere else.
Wrong. She is in the news simply because she adds such stupid comments her base loves. Too many hold her up still as a viable alternative to the Republican leadership. There are still
retardsnot too bright people like faxon, Alphie, and possibly yourself that worship whatever she is defecating that day.I hope she remains around as she symbolizes the New Republican Party. The same party of radicals that disenfranchise the moderates and drive both them AND the Independents to the Democrats. Her ilk will allow the center to govern for many years. The more radical statements she comes out with, the more everyone else will associate, quite rightly, with the Republican wing nuts extremism.
Love her or leave her. There is a benefit for the Democrats and radicals if she stays. Only her Palinettes won’t let her go.
