Sarah Palin, good ol' boy

How can Sarah Palin be out of touch on the issue of abortion, she has faced the trials that the issue brings with a pregnant teenage daughter and herself being pregnant with a child with down's syndrome? She's obviously very much in touch on this issue, more than most people. Just because the latest talking point from the Obama campaign is to accuse McCain/Palin of being out of touch at every turn, it doesn't mean you have to use them when they obviously don't fit.

The independent non partisan group, factcheck.org, has this to say about the librarian situation, "She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library. Some of the books on a widely circulated list were not even in print at the time."

You're using old recycled material from other bloggers.

By accusing a woman who's had to face the difficult realities of abortion unlike most as out of touch while accusing her of clear lies already debunked, Ms. Katz, you appear to be as out of touch in your career as a political "columnist" as you were as a union "leader". I wouldn't expect a response from you on this, but I would expect you to eagerly put out another column in a few weeks when the new talking points get in.

Carla, you are one to talk about others. Need I say more?

I'm sure Carla can agree that there is just about nothing that deserves jail more than a Governor doing favors for close friends.

Incidentally, who are those "blue collar workers" who love Obama? Are they in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan or West Virginia?

They certainly aren't in New Jersey.

I mean seriously? She has carnal experience of course but she basically is a Union Leader who sold out the union for her own benefit and the benefit of the Governor then somehow avoids jail. Delivered the union vote to the Governor and avoids jail. Was voted out by the union and now she writes politcal columns??? God Bless America!!

Methinks that Carla wishes she could be half the woman that Sarah Palin is. Give it a rest, Carla. You couldn't even start to be a real feminist if you had three lifetimes.

Who Am I?

I am under 45 years old,

I love the outdoors,

I hunt,

I am a Republican reformer,

I have taken on the Republican Party establishment,

I have 5 children.

I have a spot on the national ticket as Vice President with less than two years in a governor's office.

Did you guess?

I am Teddy Roosevelt in 1900

I know this is off topic but I am sure Ms. Katz will allow me this freedom.

Democracy is based on the idea of freedom of choice. In this election season where so many important choices are being made in this country I have been kept updated by some friends who are in a battle to save democracy in their own Union.  Their fight is a fight that should never be occuring, but since it is " only" a fight that effects seven or eight thousand state workers it is ignored.

It is upsetting to me . It might be upsetting to some of you. Power indeed does seem to corrupt.

RELEASE 9/15/08  COMMITTEE FOR FAIR ELECTION

CWA 1040 PRESIDENT CAROLYN WADE SCHEDULES HER " LEGITIMATE" SWEARING IN CEREMONY.

Taking a page from an anti-democratic Election manual, current CWA 1040 President Wade helped  guide her hand picked Election Committee into making the decision to throw out Reform Candidate Tom Bruno's nominating petitions on September 4, 2008. The petitions contained over 400 signatures from CWA 1040 members  who wanted an opportunity to participate in a fair and open election. The word was then put out that since there was no opposition there would be no election. This " No contest" election made Wade President of CWA 1040 for three more years. Members were not officially informed of  the news that nominating petitions had been disqualified. Most currently believe that Wade had no opposition.

The Reform Candidate Tom Bruno never received official written notice of  the Election Committee's decision  and then after asking and reminding the Committee that official Appeal paperwork must be sent immediately he has had to endure their refusal to follow even that simple rule. It has been 11 days and no appeal paperwork has been sent.

Current President Wade then scheduled her official swearing in ceremony for Monday October 6, 2008 at the opening of the CWA 1040 three day convention at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. This extravagant event, that costs the dues paying members over a quarter of a million dollars, will be promoted as a legitimate function of a " Democratic Union". To add to the deception  of democracy Wade has arranged to have representatives of the National CWA Union on hand to perform the swearing in ceremony.  

All of this " Democracy " continues while the State sends $250,000 in forced  collected Dues money, guaranteed by State Statute 34:13A - 5.5 ; 5.6, to this Union every 2 weeks.

I’m glad you or someone pulled your other post. I was going to thank you for so beautifully illustrating ‘appalling’ for me (to which for obvious other posters I must on occasion add ‘infantile’). Though I did very sincerely appreciate your ps laugh.

Do you really think those incidental personal details have anything to do with one’s ability to govern? I am no student of Roosevelt, but I strongly suspect one might cite other, more substantive qualities and talents that better explain his success, ones I doubt Palin shares.

And Yo Mountaintop
Never mind.

I don’t expect there are many NYT readers or believers among the cantankerous conservatives here, but: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/14/us/politics/14palin.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq...

Are you posting on government time? Heres a fact when they shut state government down last year due to the corrupt and "too be indicted" fool of a governor...guess what...those of us "hard working" non-state employees didnt feel a "great loss of services"!

I have 3 family members who work for the state on NJ..every holdiay and funeral all I hear is how proud they are of how little work they do...and hear them complain about their 10 insurance co-pay..while they make over 80K a year for showing up a sitting at a desk..

I Cwhorezine was serious about something he would start by firing you!!!

Spreading her legs to advance the feminist cause.

tReason is Carla Katz

Or did she find someone new to lay flat on her back for?

Honestly, how do you live with yourself with the completely dishonest, and completely partisan, things you write. You are walking-talking points for the Democratic party. It is common practice to ask for those in key positions to give letters of resignation, and then those deemed loyal to the new direction of the newly-elected executive are kept, and those that are deemed to be against the newly elected executive and his/her policies are let go. She did not try to get rid of the librarian either. That is just silly. She inquired as to what the librarian would do if anyone or any group asked to ban a book, she was curious. Lastly, and maybe most importantly, you have again proven that the women's movement/women's liberation, or whatever you wish to call it, is only about liberal women and their belief in abortion rights. If Sarah Palin was pro-choice, all you liberals would be drooling over her. Instead of rejoicing that a women has reached a very high level, helping break that glass ceiling, you focus on abortion ... very sad.

For the worse...
this man with community organizer experience of shaking down banks and bisinesess wil deliver change!
Isn't that a scary thought, he does have experience in corruption after all.
And can anyone imagine this racist Michell Obama who will be the president since she is running the show anyhow the first "LADY"
It isn't change-it is nightmare!!
