Are liberals drumming up the "it's not Palin's kid" story because they can't beat her on the issues?

Question

Dems can't beat her on the fact that she brought about a state budget surplus in Alaska, and then returned the money to the taxpayers.

They can't beat her on the fact that she fought - and defeated -- corruption at all levels of Alaska government, including within her own party.

They can't beat her on the fact that, as mayor of her hometown prior to becoming governor, she gave HERSELF a pay cut.

They can't beat her on the fact that in two years as Alaska governor, she's accomplished more than Barack Hussein Obama has in three years as a US Senator.

So ... since they can't actually beat this woman on the ISSUES, are they drumming up suspicion that her youngest child is actually her grandchild?

How low will these people stoop?

.

Answer 1

You may not have noticed but there are thousands of comments here every hour beating Palin on issues.

Creationism in public schools? h**l no!

Banning birth control?  h**l no!

State control of women's bodies? h**l no!

Drilling in Alaskan wilderness? h**l no!

Stopping the "bridge to nowhere? h**l no, she promoted it!

International experience? h**l no! Living next to Russia isn't international experience especially when you've gotten your first passport a year ago.

I don't know who is posting rumors about her family but it is shameful. There are plenty of issues to beat Palin on.

Oh, and if "executive experience" is so important, why did they pick a presidential candidate without any?

Answer 2

Unfortunately, there are also people who like to raise the question of whether Sen. Obama is a "secret Muslim," by being sure to use his middle name. Looking at these questions, I'd like to ask, "Why are there so few REAL questions here? Is anyone really interested in discussing issues?"  

Answer 3

She governs a population of 10,000 max.  She's not even from there.  Not suprising because she doesn't care if she destroys the land to drill.

Answer 4

No, they're drumming it up because they're bored...  same reason we keep seeing any of these stupid stories you "me party good, you party bad" types like to spread.

Answer 5

It couldn't be because it's true could it?

Just show us the bulge and it will all go away......

You can all go back to your Stepford Wife existences.....

Easy there big boy...you might rip your nails off scratching at the screen like that!!!

But I forgive you, you poor disillusional child...now go have sweet dreams of Mother Palin.

SMOKE AND MIRRORS ALAN...seen those...nothing but fat clothes, and layers of them.  

NO DOUBT SHE ATE LIKE A PIG on purpose those last few months too.

Her WATER breaks in Texas.

She BOARDS  a plane after that...A TEN HOUR FLIGHT....

Who...in their RIGHT mind...can board a plane (NO ONE KNEW SHE WAS PREGNANT...she had NO PROBLEMS...TEN HOURS!!!! after her water breaks)???

Her daughter is also off 4-5 months same time as all this...

PLEASE...show me the bulge or at least her in a hospital bed with the kid or soemthing....

Why is NOONE even touching this in the media?

They were all over Obama and the whacky minister...when all he did was try to be respectful to the old whacko....

So save it for someone who buys your republican BS sicko nonsense.

Answer 6

Just ignore them. They are hurting themselves by trying to smear a successful women. It will backfire on them soon enough.

Answer 7

Very  low, for all the reasons you stated. So much for the clean campaign Obama promised. That lasted what? 10 minutes?

Answer 8

Isn't that surplus due to OIL revenue?

Would be hard NOT to make money, wouldn't it????? lolol

Answer 9

No, not really.

Here is an issue that might upset you:

"Republicans in Congress this June united to defeat a proposed windfall tax on oil companies, deriding it as a bad idea that would discourage investment in U.S. oil exploration.

Things worked out far differently in the GOP stronghold of Alaska, a state whose economic fate is closely tied to the oil industry.

Over the opposition of oil companies, Republican Gov. Sarah Palin and Alaska's Legislature last year approved a major increase in taxes on the oil industry — a step that has generated stunning new wealth for the state as oil prices soared."

Answer 10

I am sure some people are focussing on some character issues for exactly that reason - just as many Republicans have nothing better to offer about Obama than ridiculous lies varying from his religon to his birth certificate.

Neither side's losers in this respect reflect that whole side of the political debate - so this is a pretty cheap shot you are taking here - as cheap as the allegations that seem to offend you in the first place.

Answer 11

Good for her. Yet she doesn't believe in birth control, proclaiming polar bears as endangered, for fear it will interupt  drilling, she talks about imported oil as if it's the only energy source available, and is anti-abortion. Take as much of a pay cut as you want, these are the issues. Without a planet, where else could you rant?

Answer 12

Issues? here ya go,

She raised taxes when she was mayor

She supported the bridge to nowhere, and lobbied for it until it got defeated.

she does not believe in the use of condoms, and thinks the pill kills babies

Has said that anyone who has an abortion or performs one should go to jail

believes creationism should be alongside evolution in science class

has been governor of a state  with a much smaller population than the city of Chicago

Hubby works for BP

does not believe in global warming

Honey, the kid thing if it turns out to be true, is just icing on the cake

Answer 13

They spin everything they can cuz they got nothin better.

Eve do you ever say anything that isnt hate filled and has any substance whatsoever? You are pathetic. Info Police, I disagree with you but thankyou for not being a total idiot about posting your views.

Mr jonessr, i have consitently said my opposition to obama had nothing to do with his skin color. I supported none of the democratic offerings. I agree with you that race should not enter into these discussions with one exception, to many people, including myself Obama appears to be extremely racist.

Answer 14

http://www.audacityofhypocrisy.com/2008/...

I like Sarah Palin, but don't blame the Dems for this stupid rumor....blame the Ignorant Internet Imbeciles who love to start wildfire rumors....The web is ripe with gullible surfers!

BTW, Obama did serve 8 years in the Illinois State Senate before he was elected to the U.S. Senate.  

Answer 15

Being accused of ad hominem attacks by a Repug is like being called yellow by a bunch of bananas.

Answer 16

Between rejoicing about the hurricane,and trashing minor children, they have sunk to a new low!!! it disgusts me!! Congratulation, all your rhetoric only cost you more supporters, namely me!!!! I am embarrassed to be a part of that side show!!!!

Answer 17

I think people are gossip-mongers clear and simple. If you want to watch a terrific movie about an attractive female VP nominee, rent "The Contender". The bad guys in that movie a ruthless in attacking the young women who is nominated for VP. The VP nominee is played by Joan Allen who was age 44 when the movie came out (same as Sarah Palin). The movie is 8 years old.

Answer 18

I believe you should focus on the fact that this story was covered by Alaska newspapers and that it's come up now because she's in the public eye.

And Palin's 20 months as governor in no way compares to Obama's 12 years as a State and US Senator.  

Answer 19

Welcome to politics, the world's sleaziest business.   Palin will make a fine VP.  I'm looking forward to voting for her.

I may not like Obama, but I'm just as down on people who spread this trash about him.  Irrespective of one's political beliefs, only the scum stoop to these tactics.

Answer 20

They will do what ever they can to win. She has more experience then Obama. She is the executive of a state and the head of the Alaska national guard.

Answer 21

I'm just LMAO at the guy who posted 'the bump' pics. One is from July '08 when she wasn't pregnant and 2 are undated pics that really don't show a front view at all. Is that all you have?

Answer 22

I think it has more to do with the fact that the republicans have been calling Obama a Muslim for months, which is just as ridiculous.

Answer 23

Yes they are making it up. It is pure venom from the lowest forms of life. Just when you think you have seen their worst ...they prove they can be nastier & more vicious. The liberal pukes can't get any dirt on her so they make it up . It's just eating them up.

Answer 24

Every time our economy tanks, a Repubican is President!

Herbert Hoover - Great Depression

Dwight Eisenhower - 1957 Recession

Richard Nixon - 1971 Recession

Gerald Ford - stagflation in 1973

Ronald Reagan - "Black Monday," Oct. 19, 1987

George H. W. Bush - 1991 Recession

George W. Bush - right now!

Answer 25

No. They have drummed this up because their whole stance is we believe things but don't practice what we preach. If it is her kid then they have been proven wrong, again.

She doesn't support teaching only creation in school. She thinks both should be taught so kids can make their own decision. I thought being informed was a good thing?

Answer 26

no we can still pound her on her issues.. but it baffles me how many people say, who cares.. whats that have to do with anything.. WELL it does.. its about character.. and if shes lying about this, then what else would she lie about.. and I'm sorry.. I'm not saying she IS or ISN'T..but something about it all stinks...

Answer 27

Wanna talk about issues eh? We's LOVE to!

Palin is for teaching creationism - IDIOTIC!

Palin is for making abortions illegal - ALL TERMS

Palin is power-hungry - she's currently under investigation in her own state for abuse of power - something WE DON"T NEED ANY MORE OF!!!

Palin is for ignoring ALL environmental laws regarding drilling and energy consumption - CRAZY

Answer 28

Is Palin qualified to be president?

Fifty percent say she's not qualified to assume the presidency if that becomes necessary; 45 percent say she is qualified.

In recent history, the only running mate to earn less confidence from the public was Vice President Dan Quayle in 1992.

Answer 29

Exactly..It's sick and sad how low they will stoop when they are losing.  I couldnn't believe it when I first read this and then it made me sick that there are people like this out there who really think this stuff up.  It's really sad that they are calling her horrible names for having 5 kids and saying her Downs son should have been aborted and how awful she is for having brought him into the world.

They will stoop really, really low.. Low as dirt.

Answer 30

I'm glad you asked because she has an abuse of office/ethics violation looming over her!

Answer 31

The child issue may be irrelevant, but pay attention: this woman is anti-abortion! Which means she wants to dictate to other women how to live their lives. This is a very bad thing.

The only government experience she has is having been a mayor of a tiny town, and now being a governor of a remote state with a population 1/6 the size of Atlanta, GA. Not suitable for a vice-president and certainly unsuitable to assume presidential duties if need be.
