Just who IS Sarah Palin?

siobhanwolfmoon asked:


This woman shows up on the public radar just before McCain chooses her as his running mate. Take a little time to acquaint yourself with what little information I could find on her, then answer my question.

Apart from her once being in and supporting the Alaskan Independence Party (http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/members-of-frin.html)
Apart from her winning a Ms Wasilla beauty pageant and coming in third in Ms Alaska pageant. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin)
Apart from her having 5 kids, one being under 1 year old and a Down’s Syndrome baby.
Apart from trying to have a certain book banned in the local library, and then threatening to fire the librarian if she did not get rid of the book (also on Wikipedia).
Apart from firing the Chief of Police in Wasilla because he would not dismiss her ex brother-in-law. (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article4916022.ece)

It has been said that McCain and she had only met once in passing…but how did she get from beauty pageant queen to Governor of Alaska, and just WHY did she get selected to be McCain’s VP?…that all remains to be seen, since more and more about this woman seems to be seeping through the cracks as we get closer to November 4th.

I don’t personally think that she is experienced enough to lead, and I would seriously hide in a fall out shelter until she were out of office should the unfortunate happen and McCain wins…and then dies…And I would take all that I loved with me!

I mean, doesn’t it really, truly, scare people to the core that this woman might end up being POTUS? Also, another question while I’m thinking about it. McCain supporters, has John McCain’s choice for Sarah Palin as his VP made you more willing to vote for McCain or more against McCain. Obama supporters, what do you think of Sarah Palin’s recent comments about Bill Ayers?

Loaded question, but I’ve been wanting to ask this question, or thereabouts for the past couple days now. Now, file in, make a nice line, and give me your opinions! :D
Okay just checked and the first link isn’t working, sorry, here it is! http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/members-of-frin.html

Character names: Could the name Palin ever be seen as anything but the fmr governor of Alaska?

Paranormal Kitty asked:


I always liked this as a first name – way before Sarah Palin, some people in my town own a music store and their last name is Palin. I wanted to use this as a first name for a werewolf in a novel I’m writing but I’m afraid it will bring to mind the fmr. governor and nothing else. What do you guys think? Will Sarah Palin be history in a year or two and it won’t matter or will this ruin my book?
Also, it would be cool if someone could suggest alternate spellings that might distinguish the character a bit more.

Sarah Palin Glasses May Work Wonders For You As Well

Suzanne Hughes asked:


The 2008 American Presidential Elections have been historic for many reasons. One reason is the fact that the Elections saw the Sarah Palin glasses acquiring cult status throughout the country. Most of the women in America are opting for Sarah Palin glasses when purchasing their prescription eyeglasses.

What is the reason behind the immense popularity of the glasses? The conservatively styled Sarah Palin glasses have a very unique and interesting design. The rimless glasses have redefined the meaning of the phrase ’sleek and elegant’. The custom made glasses are set in Kawasaki standard frame. The set worn by Sarah Palin herself is the combination of 34-grey color and the Kawasaki 704 frame.

The primary reason behind the sudden spurt in the demand for designer sunglasses among the American women is Sarah Palin. Her conservatively styled glasses have become popular throughout the nation. The popularity can be attributed to the fact that the frames seem to be invisible and non-existent when the glasses are worn. This effect has helped Sarah Palin communicate with the public better. Today, every woman wants to own her own pair of Sarah Palin glasses.

Considering the huge popularity of the style of glasses worn by Sarah Palin, it is no surprise that the manufacturers of eyeglasses are offering a wide range of designer glasses named after Sarah Palin. A leading manufacturer of prescription eyeglasses, Best Price Glasses, too provides a wide range of Sarah Palin glasses.

Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska, has a very unique and distinctive face structure. She has recognized this and used the uniquely designed frames of her glasses to enhance her overall personality. With the help of her glasses, she makes a style statement without even saying a word. Her glasses make her look sophisticated and stylish without any snootiness or arrogance.

The most distinctive characteristic of Sarah Palin’s glasses is that they enhance her beauty without distracting the attention of the audience. The glasses are so subtly understated that one never realizes that Sarah is wearing glasses. When you look at her, your mind registers nothing but her stylish, charming and emotive face.

An analysis of the set up of the glasses helps us understand the effect better. The rectangular shape of the glasses and the meeting of the glasses near the temple creates an illusion that the glasses are placed lower than they actually are. The shape of the glass is perfect for the oval face of Sarah Palin. The glasses are placed such that the eyebrows seem to form an outline over the upper portion of the lens.

The sensation surrounding Sarah Palin’s glasses is the result of the unique design of the glasses as well as the unique structure of her face. Today, we find these glasses being worn by people all over the country.

If you like Sarah Palin glasses, get one from a reputed seller. However, do keep in mind that the structure of the face is a defining factor. If your face structure is not suited for such type of glasses, then even Sarah Palin’s glasses will not make you look as good as her. Opt for Sarah Palin glasses only if your face structure is suitable for such glasses.

Is Sarah Palin a Woman of Destiny?

Colleen Lilly asked:


(c) 2008 Your Mind Body and Soul 123

I first heard about Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin on the AOL movers and shakers headline article last April. The brief article outlined her accomplishments and highlighted what a reformer she was for Alaska. Immediately I thought, will Sen John McCain think to add this woman to his ticket? Would it be the right political move to have a woman Vice President?

This thought alone brought a smile to my face as we all expect woman to make headway in politics here in America. Hillary Clinton has paved the wave on the national level and it is a matter of time before a woman is president of the United States or even Vice President. Two of the most powerful positions in the world.

When we were formally introduced to Gov. Sarah Palin by Sen John McCain, I found myself captivated by her spirit. I wanted to know more about her and her drive and accomplishments as a 44 year old mother of 5 kids from Alaska!

Then at the GOP convention in St Paul, we saw a woman of poise, class, confidence, determination, grace, conviction, intelligience and grit. “Sarah Palin hit a grand slam tonight” the CNN anchors proclaimed. Fox news saying ’she hit it out of the park.”

I could not help but be moved at the RNC convention by her poise in this grand arena. I tried to imagine myself in her shoes and to attempt to accomplish what she did at the RNC. I could no more connect the dots than dream of her ‘grand slam’ speech. Moreover, I think of all she has on her plate with being the governor of Alaska, a mom of 5 kids, a wife, a hockey mom, a son going off to war, a special needs infant and I get dizzy.

Sarah Palin has already served as an inspiration to many but more importantly to woman. She along with Hillary Clinton are paving the wave for woman in politics and changing paradigms left and right. As Gov Palin said in her acceptance speech about her parents simple lesson, “every woman can walk through every door of opportunity.”

We as Americans are learning to adjust our thoughts and beliefs about woman in politics and mothers in the public’s eye. We have Hillary and Sarah to thank for their courage and strength in tackling these beliefs. For opening doors of opportunity.

Is Sarah Palin a woman of destiny?



Obama Polls

Sarah Palin

Ernie Fitzpatrick asked:


John McCain has made his decision as to who will counter Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket- who’s the person that will do the fourth debate for the Republicans? It’s Sarah Palin! Say What? Sara who? A woman? Yep and that’s a good John McCain strategy in that he’s trying to take advantage of the defection of many women that loved Hillary. But, will it work? Time will tell.  

Sarah Heath Palin is the current Governor of Alaska,. She is the first female governor of Alaska, its youngest, and is the first governor born after Alaska achieved statehood. Brought to statewide attention because of her whistleblowing on ethical violations by state Republican Party leaders, she won election in 2006 by first defeating the incumbent governor in the Republican primary, then a former Democratic Alaskan governor in the general election.

And this makes her ready to be President? Talk about Obama being a light weight!   :-)

But, she’s definitely Republican through and through. As she’s said, “I am pro-life and I believe that marriage should only be between and man and a woman. I am opposed to any expansion of gambling in Alaska.” So there, now you know this woman does not waffle.

While most Americans have not heard of her, Sarah Palin is a politician of eye-popping integrity. She is now the most popular governor in America, with an approval rating in the 90s, and probably the most popular public official in any state.

Her rise is a great (and rare) story of how adherence to principle–especially to transparency and accountability in government–can produce political success. Palin is a conservative who only last month vetoed 13 percent of the state’s proposed budget for capital projects. The cuts, the Anchorage Daily News said, “may be the biggest single-year line-item veto total in state history.” The far right base of the Republican party will love her!

As recently as last year, Palin (pronounced pale-in) was a political outcast. She resigned in January 2004 as head of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission after complaining to the office of Governor Frank Murkowski and to state Attorney General Gregg Renkes about ethical violations by another commissioner, Randy Ruedrich, who was also Republican state chairman. Now that takes guts!

Palin, 44, the mother of five, passed up a chance to challenge Republican senator Lisa Murkowski, the then-governor’s daughter, in 2004. She endorsed another candidate in the primary, but Murkowski won and was reelected. She grew up in Wasilla, just outside of Anchorage, and played on the Wasilla state championship girls basketball team. She was crowned Miss Wasilla in 1984, and was a runnerup in the Miss Alaska pageant.

She studied journalism and political science at the University of Idaho and graduated in 1987. After graduation, she eloped with her high school boyfriend in 1988 to save money on an expensive wedding. She helped out in her husband’s family commercial fishing business and appeared occasionally as a television sportscaster.

And can you believe that she had a baby just four months ago?

So we now know who the four top candidates will be in November. Both she and Joe Biden will be impressive in that fourth debate. Are you ready for two months of STUFF?   :-)

Sarah Barracuda

Ernie Fitzpatrick asked:


She has one of the most engaging smiles and Rush Limbaugh is proud of the fact that she can show her ankles and legs- whatever that says to him! I am talking about Sarah Palin of course who has her say at the Republican convention Wednesday evening. She was introduced to us just five days ago as this sweet and charming girl from Alaska who likes to hunt and snowmobile. But what else?  

It would be a gross understatement to say that she’s AMBITIOUS!

What mother of five children, living in another world from that of inside the Washington Beltway, a five month old down syndrome, and a seventeen year old unmarried daughter that’s pregnant, would take on teh job of running for vice president as well. It tires me out just thinking of how many balls she has in the air (and obviously she has some).  :-)

Maybe the nick name that she was pegged with while playing basketball in high school says more than we know! Yes, she’s a former beauty queen, but also a fierce competitor known as “Sarah Barracuda,” a political insider-turned-outsider and the first female governor of Alaska. She may claim to be “just an average hockey mom,” but John McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin is anything but average.

Having lived with for longer than I can remember, but now mostly having overcome ADD, what Sarah Palin has done and will now being makes me tired. And I though I was still fairly good at multi-tasking. But Sarah has taken the phrase and concept to a whole new level. Can it really be a good thing? I guess it all depends upon where you palce your values, but for a woman whom the Republicans say epitomizes family values, I guess we see things a bit differently.

What kind of a family can she possibly- NOW?

Sarah Palin Past.present.future

carol stanley asked:


The election is over but Sarah Palin is not. Who was she? She was a mother, wife, soccer mom, athlete, fisherman and governor of Alaska. She dressed well, looked pretty, worked hard and did some wonderful things for the residents of Alaska. She did not ask to run for Vice President. She did not spend thousands of dollars on her clothes. She did not get an abortion when she knew her baby would be developmentally challenged. She had courage, fortitude and foresight.

Today she is still governor, she is still pretty. She is still a mom and wife. She obviously does not care about fancy clothes as they were all returned. They dressed her up, tried to change her demeanor, and also her attitude. They succeed in dressing her up, changing her appearance a little …but never her attitude. Yes, she played by most of the rules, and did what she was told. Loved by all the people? Not be a long shot, however there were thousands who came out to hear her speak. That will never be forgotten. She is back in her home town, governing away at her very best. How come Alaska has enough surplus dollars to give back to the citizens? It does make you kind of wonder about things in our 48 contiguous states.

What does tomorrow hold for this upbeat, aggressive, altruistic leader? Some are talking about 2012. It seems like she is pretty darn happy to be home and back at her desk. She has a lot of work to do, and she is at it again. Her family remained intact. No, her family is not perfect, but whose family is?

Predictions….Keep your eyes open for 2012. I think it is a very good possibility that we will be seeing Sarah Palin drawing the crowds once again.

What are your opinions on Sarah Palin’s church being intentionally set on fire?

The church that Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska, goes to was set on fire on Friday. It is most likely arson. What do you guys think about that?

Palin is Failin

Ernie Fitzpatrick asked:


There’s no doubt that Sarah Palin is a fresh face on the political scene- too fresh. Her lifestyle is as good as it is bad. Isn’t that the way it is with most folks? Beyond her incredible ambition, what’s also admirable. She’s a great hockey mom and she’s PRO LIFE! But is that the qualiffications to potentially be president of America? I think you know it’s not.

Let me use the words of another woman, Peggy Noonan, whom I greatly respect. Her thoughts about Sarah Palin resonate wiht me as she wrote, “We’ve seen Mrs. Palin on the national stage for seven weeks now, and there is little sign that she has the tools, the equipment, the knowledge or the philosophical grounding one hopes for, and expects, in a holder of high office. She is a person of great ambition, but the question remains: What is the purpose of the ambition? She wants to rise, but what for?”

I think that’s a fair question.

I think she has been USED, and maybe she’ll figure it out one day, by the McCain camp to salvage his campaign; however, the splash that she brought had a 2-3 week shelf life.

Peggy goes on to write, “In the past two weeks she has spent her time throwing out tinny lines to crowds she doesn’t, really, understand. This is not a leader, this is a follower, and she follows what she imagines is the base, which is in fact a vast and broken-hearted thing whose pain she cannot, actually, imagine. She could reinspire and reinspirit; she chooses merely to excite. She doesn’t seem to understand the implications of her own thoughts.” Let’s be fair, she’s in over hear head.

As a 20 month governor of Alaska whe was in her element. Given a full term there, maybe a stint as Senator so whe could get a grasp on the world, and after that she just might be ready to understand the implications of the of the words the McCain camp has her launching as red meat for a conservative base that comes to hear her. Thee is no doubt that Palin has enthused and brought the right wing conservative base back to McCain, who had doubts about him; however, all the conservatives in America with El Rushbo leading the charge, can’t pull off the deal.

 Palin is failin to bring home the bacon for McCain.

Suzanne Hughes asked:

These glasses have come to the limelight owing to their unique and interesting design. They come without a rim and look sleek and elegant. Set in a Kawasaki standard frame, these glasses are custom made and come in conservative styles. Kawasaki 704 and a 34 gray color is the exact combination of the glasses used by Sarah Palin.

Sarah’s efforts in making sure her glasses should not attract attention away from her speech as this was the only thing between her and her audiences resulted in the designing of one of the most talked about pair of glasses in the history of America. Elegant, mysterious, charming and unique aptly describes Sarah Palin glasses.

These glasses are attached in the upper part of the lens with temples and are shaped rectangular. This design makes it look as if the glasses are lower than what they actually are. The angled rectangular shape of glasses effectively complements Sarah’s perfect oval shaped face, with her eye brows exactly on top of the frame which forms an outline over he upper part of the lens.
