Oh, and stop suing doctors for refusing to perform elective procedures on the basis on their moral code, and stop bringing lawyers into every aspect of our lives. Stop legislating our private lives, stop trying to control every move we make, stop making new laws.

Reverend Wright received millions of dollars for his black liberation church. What's your point?

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin employed a lobbying firm to secure almost $27 million in federal earmarks for a town of 6,700 residents while she was its mayor, according to an analysis by an independent government watchdog.

There are other sources for this information by the way. Just do a search for Palin $27 million in earmarks for town of 6700.

That's over $4000 per person!!!!

It seems the MSM is just starting to run some of these stories, and I see some of it being discussed during newscasts from the convention. Republicans seem to be in damage control mode because Palin is even canceling some public appearances.

Good grief. If they pull her out I'll be incredibly pissed off. The whole point of choosing a maverick is THAT SHE'S A MAVERICK. Let her fucking weather it out.

So sick of politicians who won't stand up and take the heat.

You guys really need to get me nominated. I wouldn't cancel any appearances, screw them.
