When is she going to explain why she's resigning? It seems a little odd that she hasn't done so yet. She said it was what what was best for Alaska. Something you have felt and promoted for months. Does she owe you a further explanation?? |

Me personally? No. Did I say she did? Why so hostile?
She does owe the state of Alaska an explanation, right? She has said there would be one, right? There has not been yet, right? This is odd, right?

You probably did somewhere along the line. Where do you get off accusing holidayhusker of hostility. He just asked you a question. Stop faking the hypersensitivity. |

LOL...no hostility. I would think however that you would be gleeful and content with this news and yet you keep probing.
By the way....despite the best efforts of the media it seems that Sarah Palin supporters have grown substancially over the last several months nationwide. When polled most of these supporters said that they were growing very tired of the media's constant trashing of the Palins. She has became the brave, picked on underdog that they now feel inclined to protect and stand up for . So...thank you to all.

I am curious, that's all. I don't care if she's governor of Alaska or not. I don't really care if she runs for president either, since she has no chance of being elected.*
As for the "brave, picked on underdog": 1) that's something she is cultivating; 2) how has she been "brave"?; and 3) how very Nixon-like. In truth, she's an attack dog just as much as she is an underdog. She becomes the dog that best suits her.
Regardless, she still owes the people of Alaska an explanation.
*For the record, I lived through the political career of another GOP joke: Ronald Wilson Reagan. He was an absolute joke in the 60s and for most of the 70s and we all know what happened. So I say "no chance" fully aware that Reagan, Nixon, Clinton and W were all elected twice.

Now Ruff....you are so much smarter than that. Did she cultivate idiots like Letterman to say such stupid things. She certainly didn't enourage it or want it. You are become predictable. Our of curiosity have you ever liked one single political conservative? |

Ruffda, why do you answer holidayhuskers questions when he never answers yours?
Have you received an answer to any of your questions? No, all you get is some snarky little remark.
Typical holidayhusker, Bill, conservative BS. They never answer the question. It would be cool if that is how the conversation goes on here but it doesn't, not with those two.

Despite Ruff and my political differences I enjoy the way he challenges my thinking and I respect that. I don't think these questions are mine, his, or yours to answer...do you? In my opinion she does not owe us an explanation. Its her choice....one of the great things about America. She wants to exit public life...for God sakes let her. |

Our of curiosity have you ever liked one single political conservative? Bill and Hillary are likeable enough, even if I didn't care for his politics. Yes, he's Conservative. McCain's OK. Romney maybe? I liked his father. Rockefeller, too. Pawlenty seems sincere. Likeable, personally. I'd like any Conservative politically if he/she showed competence. Like I've said before, all I ask from my politicians is competence and a little flexibility. I figure if I can get that, I'm way ahead of the game. But I'm so far left of today's Democratic party it isn't even funny. I too would like to see more political parties. But the one thing I just cannot stand is politicians who drag their Christianity into the mix. It's not just that most of them are hypocrites; it's that their interpretation of Christianity is so utterly wacko. I could never vote for a Creationist, for instance. Gawd, I'm boring. Time to take a vacation from VT, methinks. |

She was a candidate for Vice President, a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Now she just suddenly and without warning ups and quits being Governor, because she's tired of the media scrutiny or can't handle the pressures of the job anymore? Was she expecting less media scrutiny and less pressure if she had indeed become the FIRST female Vice President of the United States?? |

Just maybe...you should listen more ... She is in debt ..using HER MONEY...not taxpayers to defend herself against all those stupid DEMOCRATIC PROBES. She is spending more of HER TIME..thus taxpayer TIME defending against far left accusations filed everyday..(yesterday included..) Her history..she cleaned UP THE REPUBLICAN good ol boy network up there..just maybe they are getting back at her? SHE RESIGNED her oil commission on the same grounds..she couldn't effectively do her job. Want another example of media and left wing attacks and bias? COLIN POWELL (Sp)resigns as SECRETARY OF STATE at and during a TIME OF WAR... Others run for office for 18 months and never quit...thus screwing the taxpayers that elected THEM to the LOCAL OFFICE. Maybe she is just ... RIGHT.. and you LOVE HER AND ANN ..because all the DEMOCRATIC women look like R...while Republicans women are HOT.  |

Do you seriously think the media has treated Obama and Palin the same because after all....your arguement has been that she had just better suck it up because if she was running for President , this is the kind of scrutiny she needs to get use to. Palins negative media coverage by the press has been 10 times more critical and inflammatory than Obama's . Some of the things said about Palin and her children have been inexcusable. The press has been far more respectful of the Obama's and for that I am grateful. I don't care how badly you disagree with a candidate , that should not make them free game for that kind of ugliness and unfairness. Also.........the first part of Bills posts has some very good points. Would you want to stay in office when you are going broke defending your honor against bogus lawsuits and accusations? |

Did you watch the fox news segment I linked earlier in this thread? Even their commentators are saying that a lot of the scrutiny Palin received from the Media was well deserved. If you've done or said something really stupid or even lied and the media points it out, IT IS AN ATTACK!
Frankly her hypersensitivity to any type of criticism is what is creating all the media attacks. Just like the school yard bullies, if they can get a rise out of you, they will continue to attack.
Also the media likes to stereotype each candidate. In 2004, John Kerry was protrayed as an elitest, east coast, snob (somewhat true). The completely fabricated lies regarding the swiftboat BS.... really pissed me off. Why didn't the media debunk those lies? One of my biggest criticisms with the media is that they are horrible at completely shutting down verifiable LIES. They allow stories that are 100% proved wrong to have legs.

I would like to ask if you would please clarify what are your definitions for "the media" and "the press", because I don't seem to see the same discrepancy in negative treatment that you do. |
