1.) By your own admission, Alaskans voted against a measure to block the court ruling. Keep in mind that Sarah has an 82% approval rating there and that Alaska is a red state.

2.) Arizona is 2004 rejected the ban on gay marriage, John McCain’s state, and a red state.

3.) California passed proposition 22 in 2000 where voters banned gay marriage while simultaneously voting for Al Gore.

4.) Oregon voted overwhelmingly in 2004 in another blue state to ban gay marriage where Bush lost.

Read those over and over again, Kelly. Then tell your uninformed little head the truth:

Gay marriage is NOT a party issue. It is a voter issue.

It seems to me in Palin and McCain states, the people are speaking with intelligence on the issue, which explains the pro-gay votes among people.

In blue states, the people are speaking with prejudice and hate showing the same sheer idiocy that you display here tonight on the issue of gay rights.

You don’t fool us. We know by fact what you and your liberal friends really think about us.

It seems like you; my dear, have the clue to buy.

Palin cooperated initially and Hollis French and his stupid comments to the press put a stop to all of it. He even admitted himself that he should have not made the comments he made to the press. French turned this into a political spectacle, liberals turned this into a hacked “investigation” and now investigators who sat on their hands from the summer until now suddenly want to get serious about it in the final full month of the campaign?

Your knowledge of political process is obviously as pathetic as your knowledge of gay legislation.

To begin with, “anti-gay” legislation is non-existent.

And if “anti-marriage” for gays is your example, then perhaps you can check with liberal voters in California and Oregon that vote against it every chance they get. Check with Obama and see what he says about gay marriage, or Hillary, or John Edwards, or John Kerry.

Demonstrate one “pro-gay” law passed and endorsed by Democrats.

Your explanation of Palin’s “anti-gay” Bill is a lie. Here are the facts:

1.) In 1998, Alaskans voted overwhelmingly for a ban on gay marriage (long before Palin).

2.) In 2005, the Alaskan Supreme Court ruled that domestic partners of state employees were entitled to benefits.

3.) In response to the people, the Alaskan Senate tried passing an amendment, confirming the 1998 vote by Democracy to stop the Supreme Court’s Ruling from being implemented in 2006.

4.) WHEN THE BILL HIT PALIN’S DESK, SHE VETOED IT calling it “unconstitutional” to deny a ruling from the high court!

“”The Department of Law advised me that this bill… is unconstitutional given the recent court order… mandating same-sex benefits,” Palin said in a statement. “With that in mind, signing this bill would be in direct violation of my oath of office.” ”

SO YOU ARE LYING. YOU ARE SPINNING and no different from any other sourceless liberal.

Now, you can argue that Palin herself is against gay marriage – AS IS ANY MAINSTREAM DEMOCRAT. Palin went on in that statement to say that it was her intention to put the matter to a vote to Alaskans.

So your portrayal of her as a homophobic, anti-gay Republican is not going to work around here.

Bottom line: she did the right thing and treated the matter with utter fairness. She could have signed the Bill into legislation to begin with and SHE was the one who put the vote to the people that you boast was struck down.

She honored the decision and now all is well in the northern slopes of Gayville. If you ask me, this is only more reason to love her for her fairness and her integrity as a Governor.

As I stated, Americans are onto liberals, your tactics, your spinning, your B.S., opportunists like Monegan, and the historical facts of how liberals seem to want to move forward with investigations and indictments when it seems to be all too politically convenient.

The incompetant investigators were the ones who sat on it for two months. She endorsed it, she filed an ethics complaint AGAINST HERSELF to get it off the ground.

Sadly, she tried working with liberals.

But as McCain tried working with Obama tonight, we see how well it works.

When you come around, you have to use facts and source them. Spin around here won’t work and you’ll be stumped faster than you can blink.

Just before Palin took office in December of 2006, The legislature passed a bill that called for a non-binding, advisory ballot measure asking voters whether the state should adopt a constitutional amendment overturning the recent Alaska Supreme Court’s decision that the state must provide same sex domestic partner benefits.

On Dec. 20, 2006, in one of her first legislative acts, Palin signed that bill saying it would lay the groundwork for a state constitutional ban on the partner benefits. This vote cost the state $1.4 million dollars.

In the end, the vote failed to garnish the 66% required to amend the state consitution. It passed, but only by a margin of 53%-47%. It took the wind right out of the anti gay legislature’s sails.

So…before you post, why don’t you buy a clue. Tina Fey is more qualified and would make a better president than Sarah Palin.

That would include lying, cheating, backstabbing and breaking every FEC law on the books. If conservatives did it, we’d be tarred and feathered. But since it’s the libs…par for the course, I guess. We really are turning into Europe.
