she was a very strong supporter of Pat Buchanan back in 1996 and in 2000. After all the Anti-Defamation League has their own page on Pat Buchanan which says Buchanan has "racist, anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and anti-immigrant views."

1. She's rabidly far-right. So probably. |

2. I would guess that Buchanan's appeal for her comes from his extreme social conservativism.. |
|
rather than his racism. However, that she would endorse such a far-rightie, with his racist tendencies, indicates that she is at the very best extremely lacking in judgement.
My saying about people who are supported by Buchanan and the like is 'put that support down! you don't know where it's been - it must be full of germs!' - especially as one place where Buchanan's support has been is with LePen. And apparently she supported *him* quite actively in the past. Ugh.

Listen to her words and you get the feeling that she wants to represent Alaska as VP. She is obviously proud of her state but a VP is working for all of us. Could it be, because of its distance she cannot connect with the USA?

4. When voters in Florida find out about her support of Buchanan... |
|
wouldn't that give Obama a good chance of winning Florida?

7. Good point, this pick should pretty much seal the deal on Florida |
|
that just leave PA (which not picking Ridge should give Obama) and Ohio.

5. She also enjoys killing things. Like most Re-Pubic-Rats death is |
|
is a holiday. It's the excitement of watching something bleed. Katrina = Death, Health care = Death, Human Rights = Death, Innocent civilians = Death. :dem:

6. Maybe. Either way, Lieberman has some 'splainin' to do if he's |
|
gonna support the ticket.
Either ADL is wrong or something's up with Palin, seems to me. Can't have it both ways.
Or can you? Hmmm......

|
in the Florida media markets. I would imagine it would go over quite well.
