yes I want to read her book. I think she has been smeared enought. seems like anyone with any common sense gets put down.

GL: You're right that conservatives don't get bashed on this site (except in good humor-LOL) but Sarah Palin has been bashed big time by the left in the national media, especially msnbc. You are also correct about the silent majority, evidenced by the tea parties and protest at town hall meetings. Palin is about as close to Reagan conservatism as the GOP is going to get. Neoconservatives now lead the GOP national committee and in Congress.

Okay, Texas, we'll agree to disagree. At least you can take it all with a grain of salt. I appreciate that you don't resort to name-calling, as some others we've known...

-- Posted by goat lady on Thu, Nov 19, 2009, at 7:10 AM

Well, the waterboarding goes both ways, FJGuy. I seriously doubt that Palin is going to brainwash me, but we'll see if I can withstand her "wit and wisdom."

So far, the book has a lot of local Alaskan color, and makes me realize just how different that state is.

-- Posted by goat lady on Thu, Nov 19, 2009, at 7:08 AM

Haha, GL, read the whole thing...I said without getting slammed...it was all in fun, my friend...

as for reading the book, I probably will at some point...it's kinda like reading all the hype about a movie before you go see it yourself...you'll never know until you do see it (or read it) yourself if you can appreciate it. I will take it with a grain of salt, but I won't trust what other people have said about it, because it will be their opinion, which of course they are entitled to, but I will form my own. It however, is not a priority of mine right now...too much other stuff going on.

GL, I'm glad you are openminded enough to expose yourself to the wit and wisdom of Sarah P. Confirmed Obamites are reacting to Going Rogue as if reading it would be the equivalent of them being waterboarded.

-- Posted by FJGuy on Wed, Nov 18, 2009, at 9:34 PM

C'mon, swift, don't play the persecuted underdog here -- Since when do conservatives "get slammed" on this site?

And Texas - just who doesn't "allow" you to voice your opinion?

The "Silent Majority" is a thing of the past.

-- Posted by goat lady on Wed, Nov 18, 2009, at 8:41 PM

Ah, yes -- the U.P.S. truck just came out through the darkness to my remote hilltop, bringing my copy of "Going Rogue," courtesy of an anonymous donor! I guess I have no choice but to read it now! I hope all my blogger buddies appreciate the sacrifice I'm making...

-- Posted by goat lady on Wed, Nov 18, 2009, at 8:33 PM

GL is apparently tight with Madeline D., so when GL reads the book maybe Madeline will let her post her comments on her blog. Madeline ought to have a psychic connection with Sarah P, since they both have Alaska roots.

-- Posted by FJGuy on Wed, Nov 18, 2009, at 5:00 PM

You got that right, Swift...it all seems to depend on which side of the fence you stand as to whether you are allowed to voice your opinion without getting slammed for it.

Notice how some are so biased they've already said the book's no good before they've even read it? Notice how it's alright to bash her and other conservative women, but you better not say anything against a liberal? I'll probably not buy the book anytime soon but I sure will read it! She makes a whole lot more sense than kerry, Gore, Obama, Pelosi, or any of the other far lefties out there!

-- Posted by swift on Wed, Nov 18, 2009, at 3:22 PM

i think it is pretty bad when you can't find someone better to worship,she would not make a good vice president,what makes you all think she would do better then president obama?have not read her book and don't care to.

-- Posted by pearl1201 on Wed, Nov 18, 2009, at 1:56 PM

Bought it yesterday and began to read last night. Can't put it down. She is a fascinating individual.

-- Posted by pkwcinala27 on Wed, Nov 18, 2009, at 8:30 AM

gl, rest assured this guy would dig the hole deeper, no thrown capes from me.

-- Posted by Dexterite1 on Tue, Nov 17, 2009, at 9:04 PM

Yeah, FJ, I expected you to pop to her defense! And, of course, all the other guys will bound forward to throw their capes across the mudhole!

Have you seen the current furor over the sexy Newsweek cover? She certainly does have good legs!

-- Posted by goat lady on Tue, Nov 17, 2009, at 9:00 PM

Nah,,, I just looked at the pictures....LOL Nice centerfold tho!!!!

-- Posted by BootheelBoogieMan on Tue, Nov 17, 2009, at 3:55 PM

There is nothing wrong with being mercenary GL, as long as it's not your soul for sale.

-- Posted by bobby wayne on Tue, Nov 17, 2009, at 2:01 PM

Fiction is one word that can't honestly be applied to Palin's book. The Associated Press assigned 11 reporters to fact check the book and they only found six possible factual errors in 432 pages. That is one possible error every 72 pages. We can all only hope to match that level of accuracy.
