Quote:

Palin, though notoriously ill-traveled outside the United States, did journey far to the first of the four colleges she attended, in Hawaii. She and a friend who went with her lasted only one semester. "Hawaii was a little too perfect," Palin writes. "Perpetual sunshine isn't necessarily conducive to serious academics for eighteen-year-old Alaska girls." Perhaps not. But Palin's father, Chuck Heath, gave a different account to Conroy and Walshe. According to him, the presence of so many Asians and Pacific Islanders made her uncomfortable: "They were a minority type thing and it wasn't glamorous, so she came home." In any case, Palin reports that she much preferred her last stop, the University of Idaho, "because it was much like Alaska yet still 'Outside.' "

“So Sambo beat the bitch!”

This is how Republican Vice Presidential nominee
Sarah Palin described Barack Obama’s win over Hillary Clinton to political colleagues in a restaurant a few days after Obama locked up the Democratic Party presidential nomination.

Besides insulting Obama with a Step-N’-Fetch-It, “darkie musical” swipe, people who know her say she refers regularly to Alaska’s Aboriginal people as “Arctic Arabs” – how efficient, lumping two apparently undesirable groups into one ugly description – as well as the more colourful “mukluks” along with the totally unimaginative “f**king Eskimo’s,” according to a number of Alaskans and Wasillians interviewed for this article.

“Sarah asked me if they were with me. I asked her what was up because she was obviously a little weird after seeing them,” states Royal, who has Native American blood in his ancestry is a fairly light skinned while his buddies were much darker.

“I don’t mean any harm,” Royal says Sarah told him, which is exactly what she meant but he recalls her saying that she doesn’t do black guys.

“I said ‘I’m Black,’” Royal relates, to which Sarah replied with, “Well, you aren’t really black. You’re like …”

Royal remembers her voice trailed off as if not knowing what to say next as the reality of the situation sunk in on her. “Then she got real confused and the conversation ended rather quickly and uncomfortably.”

She is not stupid and we would be a lot better off if she was President than we are with the current empty suit Marxist fuck we have now.

> much has been made in the liberal blogs about comments from sarah palins' father that she left the university of hawaii out of dislike for asians and pacific islanders ..

Appeal to authority fallacy (or hearsay in this case).  If you want me to believe that she is racist, then show me something racist she supported while Governor of Alaska.

Analysts look at the number of senators and representatives who choose to leave Congress as an indicator of how the political winds are blowing for the upcoming congressional elections. For Democrats looking ahead to the 2010 contests, the outlook is anything but bright.The Examiner'sMichael Barone has in recent weeks chronicled the lengthening parade of House Democrats deciding not to seek re-election. Judging by voter attitudes on major issues and their voting intentions as measured by generic ballot surveys, it looks like 2010 is going to be a very tough year for incumbents generally, but especially so for Democrats.

In pollster Scott Rasmussen's continuing survey of voters' party preferences for Congress, Republicans have led Democrats for four straight months now.Even though the Republican lead has been reduced to only four points in the most recent results, it's clear the GOP has an advantage in a two-way race against the Democrats.Combine all of this with Obama's historically low public approval rating, and you can expect more Democrats to decide the time has come for them to leave Congress and quit while they're ahead.

At that point -- Republicans will love this -- he compared congressional Democrats with robbers who have passed the point of no return in deciding to hold up a bank. Whatever they do, they're guilty of something. "They're in the bank, they've got their guns out. They can run outside with no money, or they can stick it out, go through the gunfight, and get away with the money."

Gordon's departure, which Republicans say was preceded by dire poll numbers, has led some political analysts to predict trouble in November 2010 for the Democratic Party. The Cook Political Report immediately moved Gordon's seat into their "likely Republican" column. Cook's House race editor, Dave Wasserman, wrote that Gordon's announcement brings the number of vulnerable open Democratic seats to seven and if the number "balloons past 15, House Republicans will have a real opportunity to hit this midterm election out of the park."
