Sarah Palin ‘affair’: big media stays quiet as ‘lover’ named »
Posted By Aidenag 2 months, 2 weeks ago in NewsWhile America's respectable media focus on John McCain's acceptance speech to the Republican faithful, blogs and gossip sites continue to lead the feeding frenzy surrounding the National Enquirer's allegation, reported here yesterday, that McCain's running mate Sarah Palin had an affair with her husband's business partner.

Much as a loath the republicans, and as much as I think McCain’s choice of Palin as his running mate is a transparent, shallow act by a desperate man, I don’t much care about Palin’s personal life, except as it relates to her ability to do the job.

After all the outcry of AG submitting stroies from the right, at least there were some threads from the other side on here. Now all we get are these types of threads on the front page. The one I love the most is the one where the left claims Palin was too mean durig her speech, after the constant attacks against her.-

Palin is a dangerous dominionist. We all need to know more about that.

Forget about her personal life?
I don't care about it myself, but these people who are working to bring about a theocracy seldom can take the light from a flashlight shining on them. Haggard comes to mind and there is actually a connection. She apparently funneled public money to the church old Ted now preaches in. Now that is a story!
Palin is a smokebomb, proof positive that McCain is no maverick and no moderate. But with all the attention being paid to Palin, no one is calling McCain on his lies in the smear ads he is running. (Obama will raise your taxes!- not if your 95% of America, Obama has never submitted a balanced budget! - um, Senators don't submit any budget...McCain hasn't either.)
What blatant BS.
The McCain Campaign can be taken to task on facts.
There are plenty of examples of politicians being outed over sex.It is stupid, but hey ain't that America? That's how we do things around here. I don't like it, but if Bush and Cheney can get away with outing a CIA agent, cook the intelligence books to start a war, thumb their noses at subpoenas, etc. without being reprimanded- and all it takes is a hummer for Clinton to be impeached the Psyche of the country must come into question.
The wingnuts love Palin but they hate sex (At least publicly, what they do in their dungeons with those whips chains and various devices is another story). So maybe sex is an issue to quiet down the cheerleading from the dominionist crowd?
I assume these people are all having an orgy on my dime as soon as the cameras are off, that way I'm not disappointed. The ones who complain the most are always the kinkiest! -

I see sexism here. Why should we care about Palin's alleged affair but not McCain's?
Reply
We should all focus on issues, at least until there is an affair between Palin and McCain.-

This isn't sexist. We already know about McCain's affair. Now we know about Palin's. It would be sexist not to have it come to light, as if she needs some kind of protection. If people's afffairs don't bother you and you don't think it reflects on someone's character, then why should it bother you if other people think it does. This person is 60 days from being a possbile president of the US. We should find out all we can about her. It would be irresponsible otherwise.

You are right about McCain's affair. His first wife, a model, was originally the wife of one of his friends at the Naval Academy. She had an affair with McCain, divorced her husband and then McCain married her and adopted her two children. Where do you think all those 7 kids came from?
Reply
While he was in Viet name his wife was involved in a bad auto accident and was somewhat disfigured. Soon after returning from Viet Nam, rather than caring for his wife, he had numerous affairs one with his present wife Cindy. He's no jerk, dump your disfigured wife and marry a beautiful multi-millionaire
I hope this information comes out, the same as the information about Palin. There is nothing that bothers me more than people who pretend to me hollier than thou and behind the scene are screwing around. By the way Palin was married less than 8 months when she had her first baby. Sounds like a quickie wedding just like she wants her daughter to get! -

Soon come. Why do u think he is so defensive about her. Pleeeease, do u really think he believes she is ready to run the country. Once a dog always a dog. He cheated on his first wife, and as the old saying goes as far as Cindy McCain, what goes around comes around and it's gonna be Sarah that does it.

Haven't we been told over and over that being familiar with the candidates associates and private lives are necessities as it gives us insight as to their character??
Reply
Why is so many of McCains military records sealed, and now why is Palin's husband's ex business partner's divorce records being sealed? If there's nothing to hide, why hide it?
Conservatives put this on the table when they posted that hideous video of some deviant who said he had sex with Obama while they did coke. Then took soundbites out of context of Obama's minister for smear purposes only, and attacked Michelle when she supposedly said "whitey", which wasn't really proven to be true because it could have been why'd he....
When you get bit by a mosquito do you watch to see if it will bite you again or do you swat it? I swat it, i think everyone does, but now i will probably be accused of being violent.-

Took sound bites out of context - in what context would "God Damn America" be ok...in what context would the "US KKK A" be ok...
Reply
I agree that looking into a persons associations and political insight is important to understand what kind of character they have - HOWEVER, if you are going to do it for ONE candidate, then you need to do it for ALL candidates.
Do you really want to dig into Palin's background, when Obama has just as many skeletons that haven't been unearthed, or have only been glossed over...seriously, be fair and unbiased people. -

Well, we have already seen that Palin abuses political power to carry out personal vendettas. We have also already seen her corruption.
Reply
What is even worse than the media keeping quiet about her personal life is that they are keeping quiet about her ugly, dangerous religious connections.
Voting for Palin would be like voting for Osama Bin Laden. She is right out of our very own "christian madrassas".
Sarah Palin used AK tax dollars to fund dominionist churches
Over the past few days, I've done reporting on Sarah Palin's extensive dominionist connections--including the attempt to run her as a "stealth" dominionist candidate and her connections to some scary dominionist groups including not just "Joel's Army" folks but a far-right Christian Reconstructionist political party linked to domestic terrorism.

hyperbola, just a word of caution.......DO NOT BELIEVE EVERY SINGLE STORY YOU READ ON THESE BOARDS, or SEE ON PROPELLER OR ON U-TUBE! Don't be so gullible.

HERE IS THE TRUTH IN CASE YOU ARE INTERESTED: Sarah Palin went to a Pentacostal Church first, then switched to a Non-denominational.
She NEVER used AK tax dollar to fund as you say: "dominionist" churches. She tithed....giving her OWN money.....just like I TITHE. (IF interested, you will find that GOD asks us to tithe.....look in Malachi 3) THAT's in the BIBLE.
No such link to domestic terrorism.
Sorry, hyper.....you are.....should I say....."just a little bit HYPER!!!!" I know reporters and they are adding to the story......that is what the LIBERAL MEDIA gets paid to do......but it is not the TRUTH! Sorry, hon.
P.S. I have known Sarah for a while.....just in case you wanted to know.

chuck-the-canuck........very well said. I don't know when we became so tabloid driven in this society, more interested in the sex lives of candidates rather than the platforms they promote, but I couldn't care less. I never understood people's obsession over Bill Clinton's sex life, and I have the same feeling about the opposition. Who Palin is having an affair with, or even if she's having an affair, is of no consequence in my opinion. The only things that matter to me are her positions on issues and her qualifications to carry out any plans she may have. Beyond that, its none of my business and nothing but a distraction in a campaign that is too important to entertain distractions in. We have real issues to face and get through before someone is elected, and spending any energy on anything this ridiculous is just a waste in my opinion.

Besides.........when did the National Inquirer become a valid news source for anything? Talk about absurd..
