Political agendas are put on hold
Source: Anchorage Daily News

In Alaska's small political world, heads are still spinning over Sarah Palin's ascent to national stardom -- and not just because it happened overnight.

Republican legislators may not like it when she talks in her stump speech about shaking up the good old boy network back home. They grumble that she is once again wielding her broad brush against innocent and guilty alike. But bitter memories of the past two years -- in which Palin's toughest opposition in Alaska came from inside her own political party -- appear to be glazing over in a new era of good feeling.

"You're left with no choice. It's one of those things where you just grin and bear it," said Andrew Halcro, a former Republican state representative and Palin critic. "I've seen people that have been very critical of her just close ranks."

Or else the Pug national party apparatus will destroy each of them, and they damn well know it.

6. While our democrats split and divide
We try to the democrat candidate and elected leaders to
perform every detail of everyone's wishes not matter how
insignificant it is.   

The women are attacking Obama because he is not a woman ,
while they will vote for McCain and Pulin because Pulin is a
woman.   No matter if McSame and Pulin will continual to
destroy the lives and benefits of this country , its' citizens
and that of women rights.

So tell me just who are the nuts running around out there..
