Shocking Info on Sarah Palin

There have been many biographies on her on MSN and CNN, plus she had an interview with Charlie Gibson. She is an avid hunter. She talks about how she used to get up at 4:30 in the morning to go moose hunting before school when she was a child. She is an favor of ariel wolf hunting as they are predators of moose and caribou.

She doesn't believe global warming is man made and opposes putting polar bears on the endangered species list.

Since she is so new on the political scene, there is much to be learned about her record whether or not you are a Republican or Democrat since she could be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

But do you not agree...the way that website portrays some of that information in an inflammatory manner and somewhat twisted in how it was presented.

I'm confused. I don't think anyone even mentioned the pictures.

Personally, the pictures don't really have much of an effect on me (although I don't agree with aerial hunting or fur), especially when there are MANY, MANY other major issues that I strongly disagree with Palin on.

Also, I would say the pictures would matter to you if you were against hunting, fur, etc. I don't think it's fair to say just because it's a "way of life" that you can't be against the issue and that it doesn't matter.

Deb is exactly right! I get so many ridiculous emails everyday about political stuff. As a political science major, I always feel a need to research each one and then respond to the sender with legitimate resources and explanations why things look worse than they are. It really is so easy for some people to spin possibly innocent actions and words into something outlandish and slanderous. Snopes.com is a good resource for checking emails like this out.

P.S. I am not associated with Sarah Palin either.

LOL...

I just don't put much value on them.

Her personal hunting or anyone elses isn't an issue to me personally. I couldn't do it but it is legal and is the very least of my concerns about her.

Thanks for the other information on ariel hunting. That was one of the issues I am unfamiliar with although it says Alaskans voted against it twice. Honestly it isn't an issue I know much about. I didn't know anything about the library either. I guess we'll have to wait and see with troopergate. It does look like she doesn't want the findings to come out until after the election which makes me wonder why. I would want my name cleared if I were up for election (providing I was innocent). I couldn't agree more that it is important to know where information is coming from (I've never seen that site before and am not familiar with it at all) but most of those statements on that site have been cooberated by Palin herself.

But if it is fact, then that's what should decide your vote anyway.

Well, it obviously wasn't put out by McCain-Palin supporters!

That's just the nature of politics. It's important that we don't take the ads at face value and do our own research on the candidates. From my research, the information in that email is true, but yes, the pictures are shocking to those of us who don't live in Alaska.

True... But then a good many voting Americans couldn't tell you what was true and what was a lie. So they just believe everything that comes across their Inbox.

You're right- and that definitley is not good. I was only referring to the link provided in this post, most of which we know to be true from Palin herself.

let me state this clearly; This is my opinion! She hunts! Big Whoop!!! What about his religious belief!

Hunting for meat is one thing. Hunting for sport or bounty to me is wrong. Shooting animals from planes with shotguns is most definately wrong. That is just my oppinion.

I think the things that concern people about her go waaaaay beyond hunting. She wouldn't be the first VP who hunts. In fact I would put it at the bottom of my list of things that concern me about her. It's interesting how her supporters only focus on hunting. That's not what her detractors are focused on at all.

It seems to me that the detractors are the ones that brought up the hunting. Not the supporters.

YAY SARAH PALIN! Her beliefs are not as strange and outrageous as all of you might think. I am a law student and have studied politics and the state of our nation quite extensively and I agree with a lot of what she stands for. I think she's awesome!

I agree that man-made global warming is a farce. Haven't you heard the lastest news that now the earth is experiencing a cooling trend (according to the lastest Almanac) and Al Gore has given himself an award saying he "cured" global warming???

I agree with her stance on abortion.

I agree with drilling in Alaska.

Creationism should be taught alongside evolution in public schools.

I obtained my first passport this summer.

I am an avid supporter of hunters! (which is completely legal by the way!)
