5. Oh Please Bitch, Run for President
I want your and your fucking values dragged from coast to coast. Ignorance is not a value sarah. Being a fucking hater of the constitution is not a value sarah. You are a fucking worthless loser of a human being, the perfect candidate for the 2012 gop presidential nomination.

7. Sarah says this was "political theater"
and if anybody knows "political theater" it would be Sarah, right? :eyes:

http://www.adn.com/palin/story/687715.html

Gov. Sarah Palin on Wednesday called an e-mail pitch in her name for Planned Parenthood that ran wild on the Internet during the presidential campaign "great theater." But she said it wouldn't change her view that "every life is precious."

Planned Parenthood wasn't behind the effort, but the e-mails asking for donations spread rapidly in September and October and ended up generating more than $1 million for the organization nationwide, said Clover Simon, Alaska vice president of Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest.

During a press conference Wednesday, the governor was asked about the push for donations "in honor of Sarah Palin" last fall. Palin, who strongly opposes abortion, was running for vice president on the Republican ticket. The matter had remained dormant since the heat of the campaign, but a television reporter brought it up again.

"I have boxes of thank-you notes from people associated with Planned Parenthood thanking me for the donations. Same with some anti-hunting groups, they're doing the same thing right now. It's political theater -- it's great theater I guess for some," Palin said.

"But on the issue of Planned Parenthood and abortion, at least Planned Parenthood, officials there and, I, we agree on a mission here that we'd like to see fewer and fewer abortions. And I, embracing the culture of life, have perhaps a different approach in how I would like to see that goal reached," Palin said.

9. Is she softening her stance on the issue?

I thought she would always "choose life," even if it was a 12 yr old rape victim?

12. I'm not sure she's softening her stance on abortion,
but I'm guessing she probably does find some common ground with Planned Parenthood on contraception and preventing unwanted pregnancies.

11. Right. Or a convicted murderer.
Some people in the legislature are raising -- again -- the issue of imposing a death penalty in Alaska, something we haven't had since territorial days. Sarah's all for it.

17. What a moran.
It wasn't meant to "change her mind," but too assist people who would be targeted by her misguided politics.

BTW, thank you posting that link, I saved it on Palin's truthiness page (http://www.wikiality.com/Sarah_Palin#Charitable_Contributions )

24. At our "Hold Palin Accountable" rally here
last September, Planned Parenthood representatives were passing out condoms in wrappers that had Sarah's and McCain's pictures on them, front and back. That was the funniest thing I saw all day. :rofl:

25. Yay! That is fantastic!
:rofl:

Planned Parenthood needs and deserves every penny of it, and far more. I wish I was still in a position to give them an annual donation.

I hope this really pisses off Palin for a years, that Planned Parenthood is doing so much good in her name. :P
