Re: An Alaskan's Opinion
RRrr: Judging by your handle, you're emitting an exasperated growl. However, I'd like to point out a few facts:None of the links that I supplied mentioned any ''laundry list'' of books. What was supplied... were links to people who knew something firsthand of the situation. As a local Alaska resident, I had heard of this incident, but some of ...

Re: An Alaskan's Opinion
Cindy: I apologize if I offended you, and in hindsight, I can see how you feel that I've might have been too harsh. However, there is a difference between 'mudslinging'' and stating the true facts. I have lived in Alaska for years, and have seen the effects of Palin's influence... both as the Mayor of Wasilla and as the Governor of Alaska. And ...

Re: And The Latest On Palin
I just ran across a You.Tube interview where Matt Damon expresses his concerns about Sarah Palin becoming VP, or worse yet - President. The link is:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anxkrm9uEJk

Re: An Alaskan's Opinion
oxboggle: I suspect that Sarah Palin is driven by an overwhelming compulsion to excel, probably conditioned into her early on by her father Charles Heath, a track coach. First athletics... then beauty contests... and now politics... she has to be on top and winning is everything. At some point, for her, the End began to justify the Means... with ...

Re: An Alaskan's Opinion
oxboggle: No, I'm not a librarian... far from it actually, but I do carry a library card and have always been a voracious reader. I suspect my compulsion to inform stems a bit from what that Wasilla lady [Anne Kilkenny] said, ''bad things happen when good people stay silent.'' I'm not trying to categorize myself as a good person... but, I ...

Re: An Alaskan's Opinion
jackg: Since I'm the individual that originally started this post, I'll assume that you are referring to me. You seem to bandy the words ''Fake, phony, and fraud'' quite easily. For some... that might be an exact description of Sarah Palin. But... let me ask you something: Do you live in Alaska and have you ever met Sarah Palin personally? I ...

Sarah Palin: Fact... or Ficton?
To those of you who have read my earlier postings, you know that I am a longtime Alaska resident who is very familiar with Sarah Palin's tenure both as the Mayor of Wasilla and as the Governor of Alaska. As the media blitz has exploded over her recent VP nomination... so has the media hype. Due to the seriousness of the matter, I think it might ...

Re: An Alaskan's Opinion
I'm not sure if you were addressing me, or the earlier poster - but, I don't mind having my views examined at all. You're obviously a very analytical person, but so am I. If you're looking for very specific information, let me know and I will try to supply it... or, at least point you in the right direction. If its something I know nothing ...

Re: An Alaskan's Opinion
Dear CrimeAnitly; I'm not sure what ''impressive credentials'' that you are referring to... unless you count having gone to college and being raised by a former English teacher as impressive. I think the value of my comments concerning Sarah Palin lie in the fact that I'm a longtime Alaska resident who has both seen, and lived, under her ...

Re: Another Alaskan's opinion
Fritz: Sarah Palin is a bright charismatic woman utterly driven by ruthless ambition. To her... ''The End truly does justify the Means'', and it must be Her End. Her tenure, both as Mayor of Wasilla and Governor of Alaska, could be best described as... ''SHE, WHO MUST BE OBEYED!''. Absolute control is everything.''Compromise'' was a dirty word ...
