Palin's book...#1 on best seller list..Kennedy at #7

[saywhatkid]

sounds like you know her personally. Did she tell you about her goals or plan?

Perhaps she lied about all those lawsuits? The Repubs could certainly find a better candidate, IMHO.

 

[kokonut]

Boy. Mention the words "Sarah Palin" and libs go into an apoplectic fit by going after her which means more money she'll make.

I'm not too fond of control animal by a helicopter. I prefer another method, and that is let people have guns (or bow and arrows) and if an wolf get in their land and attacking their babies , then they can use the gun (I doubt ANYONE is going to stand there and watch their child eaten by a wolf).

That's not why. They are killing wolves so the hunters will have less competition hunting for caribous and elks.

 

[Lighthouse77]

yes, I know... I hope they eat what they hunted.

but I don't know what life is like in Alaska so I can't really judge. I know it cold. But don't know how easy it is to access food. other than fish, caribous, and elks.

I also know that if wolves can't find food, they will look somewhere else.. and that includes whatever is in your backyard. (just like what's happening with bears in CA and places like that)

People don't eat wolves.

People kept on over-hunting and they are making the other predators pay for it.

Then don't destroy their habitats or take away their resources.

<--- quit being a smartypant LOL you know what I mean (I often wonder why people do that??? It doesn't make them look smarter ). Survival is another reason too.

Hee hee.

Human beings are responsible for so many problems related to the animal population. It's the unfortunate truth. :-/

Blue skies in background with fluffy clouds.
Top of book says "SARA PALIN"
Beneath the words is Sarah smiling, looking away. She has glasses on and her long, brown hair hangs down over shoulders in front. She is wearing a light, red jacket. And small US flag lapel pin in pinned on her jacket on her left side.
Words cross her lower mid section of her body in the picture and it says:
"Going Rogue: An American Life."

Thanks very much for the discription Kokonut.

Dreama & Reba,
Palin authorized his people to kill wolves from helicopters.

Reba,
As what you say that Palin does not shoot wolves from helicopters then you also should say in several threads that Hitler does not kill people as well because you know that Hitler authorized his people to kill innocent people don't you?

Yes, I consider Palin killed animal the same as Hitler to people because it's them who authorized their people to kill .

That's fine as far as it goes.
Only one fact that you have forgotten to mention. All governments also authoritize killing animals. I challange you to name a country that doesn't?
Not only that but all countries exept Ireland and maybe a few others that I am not aware of, also authoritize the killing of people. Which Sarah Palin is against. Which is what I like about her.

 

[sallylou]

Why do we have two threads on Palin?

 

[dreama]

Dreama, is it okay to kill 14 wolves pups?

No it isn't but neither is it ok to kill countless numbers of human babies.
Neither is it ok to imprison and torture primates, dogs, cats, chinchillas, pigs, goats and countless other animals in the name of research,
Neither is it ok to cram pigs, chickens, cows, or any other animals into very small spaces for the whole of their lives before killing them.
Neither is any other animal abuse ok, but I don't know any other polition who is against all this.

At least Sarah Palin is against murdering human babies.

but it still don't give a benefit for you.

 

[Sosie]

I will not buy Former Gov. Palin's book. Effective Sept 18th 2009, her husband resigned his position.

 

[Reba]

I didn't see a whole lot of the post surgery Teddy. He made a couple brief public appearances. What is your point? His book is still #7 on the list. Not like it is losing money for the publishers. Who would more likely have a book that the public is interested in: a man that was old and is now dead, or a young, attractive woman? This is America. We are subject to media bias. Perhaps you feel this is indicative of some sweeping Conservative movement. Hogwash. It is about hype. BTW, are we going to debate the REAL REASON she left office yet? Maybe to create more fervor for her soon to be released memoirs? She is a well oiled money machine. Has been since her nomination. Humors me to see the Conservatives aligning behind this inexperienced quitter. Also rumors of a reality show. Who are the fools here?
Lets get back to the real topic here....what about the huge deficit since Obama took office?

I think you must be confusing my post with someone else's post. I only made the statement about Teddy's being in the public eye and how books about famous people recently deceased are usually popular for a while.

Well, I quoted you.

I don't have issues with you, because I respect you, even though we rarely agree. I think the OP's intent was to make something out of the Liberal/Conservative divide by comparing book sales. You chose to align with the OP, so I comment to you. I try to ignore the OP, except to submit a reply to the topics and any replies from members I respect, which is all but one.

Let everyone buy the book they choose. I'm sure we will see Palin doing the late night talk show book tour next, along with the Today Show and so forth. Wonder how it will play out. Will she announce? Wonder what she will wear.

Not much they could do with Teddy, since he had to up and die, which possibly garnered him extra media coverage. Typical Liberal, trying to get something for free. Maybe he timed his death to increase sales?

 

[dreama]

It does because I don't want to get murdered if I get knocked down by a bus. Just because people think my disability and whatever state the accident caused me to be in. Didn't mean that my life is not worth living.

I may not agree with Sarah Palin on all issues but on disability related issues I really like her outlook. I want someone who thinks I have a right to life, whatever state I'm in.

This current trend of supporting death for people with severe disabilities and terminally ill gives me the jitters.

I don't want to die.

I also am wanting to know where this trend is happening. Hope it is not some fear-inducing propaganda from one of those biased news sites. We are all going to die. Most of us will become disabled before then, to some degree. Many of us will become terminally ill. Not many will die an unexpected death while still healthy.

 

[netrox]

Right but I don't see a trend that suggests that we just kill off disabled and the old. In fact, the Republicans have always been against healthcare for all Americans while Democrats have been arguing to provide healthcare for ALL Americans. Republicans have been bashing the poor and tried to frame them as the "welfare queens" (remember?) and that the poor is not entitled to healthcare. T

Makes no sense at all.

Don't you ever read the news?

A baby is born at 21 weeks of age and the doctor won't look at him.
Peter Singer says it's ok to consider disabled as lesser being. He has his article posted in new york times.
Moves on both sides of the atlantic are being made to try and legalise Euthanasia.
Parents of disabled kids, kill themselves and the kids with them. The press does not condem them.

It's that sort of thing that scares the living day lights out of me. The fact that some people can consider ageism or ableism as perfectly acceptable.

I'm afraid that people like me might be considered next for the chopper.
