It some of the most grass roots get out there among the people campaigning I've ever seen. It was a thing of beauty. GOP leadership would do well to gett behind her if she wins the primary; not like in DW. Why is it that only her enemies take her seriously. <br /><br />Sigh...I hope she runs.<br />JoshJosh Kruschkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288700371539530398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-14454266896383896112011-03-01T19:50:46.940-05:002011-03-01T19:50:46.940-05:00Yes, Sarah fired and missed several shots at the C...Yes, Sarah fired and missed several shots at the Caribou. She then switched rifles and made a direct hit.<br /><br />Her dad later fired the rifle in question at a target and missed several shots. <br /><br />Now, think back to earlier in the show. Her dad was carrying the rifle over his shoulder. Do you recall he fell down the hill and rolled over several times? Anyone who has used a rifle would immediately know the site could be knocked out of alignment. <br /><br />This could explain her misses and her dad's misses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-69504156320001561942011-03-01T19:01:55.550-05:002011-03-01T19:01:55.550-05:00Fascinating.

We gay guys are on fire for that woman. And it's a rare thing when gay guys fall in love with any woman, I think you'll agree. <br /><br />Everyday I and like thinkers wade in among the rest and say: here's truth, there's the media. And everyday more guys I know are just absolutely fed up with Democrats. Especially those newly unemployed. And they begin to go, "hmm, Palin." <br /><br />One dimension you all don't consider: She has a "different" son -- and we are different sons -- and we somehow think, though can point to nothing -- that she'll be the one to stop the culture war against us. Not embrace and say Hallelujah, no, but just say something like "Well, stop picking on those people." <br /><br />Which is a weird reason to vote for someone, I can admit. But that's what you're going to get if she's the Candidate. If some Republican man gets the nod, I can't guarantee anything. Her, you got our votes. <br /><br />Take 'em while you can.Jim Hlavachttp://www.thedailymush.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-58885103458396047302011-03-01T03:53:22.774-05:002011-03-01T03:53:22.774-05:00borepatch, I came across quite an extensive collec...borepatch, I came across quite an extensive collection of media distortion cases involving Palin (441 in fact). This is extensive, extensively target rich environment. If this woman could seize the day, sit down at interviews and throw quotes in faces, and talk like I have seen her talk before, she could win it. I really, really hope she does. She is as close to establishment GOP as I am ever going to vote again.<br />http://scottthong.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/blatant-anti-palin-bias-in-the-liberal-media-a-collection/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-62192353420634495792011-02-28T13:21:49.364-05:002011-02-28T13:21:49.364-05:00Sorry for the misspelling...I'm shamed in my h...Sorry for the misspelling...I'm shamed in my haste...Boat Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-62829835530813106792011-02-28T13:20:17.385-05:002011-02-28T13:20:17.385-05:00Seems like Brent Bozell and Media Research would b...Seems like Brent Bozell and Media Research would be the place to start. <br />Like Brigid, I did cringe at the hunting scene, though her father and the family friend didn't exactly wow me with THIER knowledge and prowess.

Palin's numbers were the highest of any of the candidates the days just following her acceptance speech at the rep convention. That's because millions of people got to listen to her without media static. It was only when the McCain camp hid her away, and attempted to so tightly control her, that they allowed the media to just attack and attack without any return fire.<br /><br />I'm sure Palin knows all this, and having been in the worst run campaign in history, she will not let the same BS happen again.<br /><br />I believe she can defeat both the media and 0bama at the same time.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11405293895841337610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-7188602060947560462011-02-28T08:41:05.275-05:002011-02-28T08:41:05.275-05:00The best thing Palin does is show the world how fa...The best thing Palin does is show the world how far left the media is and causes so called lamestream reporters to become unhinged.<br /> <br /><br />Worth the show...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-58661624518927678152011-02-27T21:57:09.676-05:002011-02-27T21:57:09.676-05:00It would be worth it just to watch her destroy a c...It would be worth it just to watch her destroy a couple careers in the MSM.Broken Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562569871940946226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-47452079512524947732011-02-27T19:55:27.441-05:002011-02-27T19:55:27.441-05:00Borepatch, it wasn't that she missed, the sigh...Borepatch, it wasn't that she missed, the sight was likely off.
