Who Is Advising Sarah Palin?
Tuesday, September 29, 2009 5:43 PMexcerpt: In the nasty aftermath of the McCain-Palin ticket, Palin broke with many of the advisers she
had worked with in the final days of the campaign. She went back to Alaska, surrounded by her longtime political team, including chief spokeswoman and top adviser Meg Stapleton and Kristan Cole, who helped Palin launch a legal defense fund to cover costs related to several ethics investigations in Alaska. In January, Palin launched a new political action committee, SarahPAC—a move widely interpreted as an effort to help forward her political ambitions. Between January and June, the PAC raised more than $730,000—with almost $270,000 of that going to staff and consulting fees. Palin hired Pam Pryor, a GOP operative who once worked for former representative J.C. Watts, as an adviser. In February, she also tapped Becki Donatelli, a longtime GOP consultant close to McCain, to run SarahPAC, but the two severed the relationship in April. Donatelli declined to comment and, like Pryor, directed all questions to Stapleton, who did not respond to repeated requests for comment.________________________
Right after the
August 7 to 8 attack on South Ossetia the President of Georgia, Mikheil
Saakashvili was shocked he didn't get any back up from the US. He soon changed his tune, but it was clear he thought he had a reason to believe if he attacked the de facto Russian territory of South Ossetia and the Russian soldiers that he would not be alone. Who was feeding him that bull and why didn't they keep their word?
This was major because it has to do with missile shields, NATO, Israel and possible nuclear bombs going off.
We know John McCain gave us the delusional blithering Sarah Palin and he must be held accountable for his desperate attempt to win an election. What else would he do to win? Cindy McCain would not have needed to go to The Republic of Georgia with aid and soothing for Saakashvili if he hadn't been led to believe he should attack at that time, coincidentally, US elections were is process. The European Union report is better than nothing but it is only telling part of the story. (
Why Is Cindy McCain Going To Georgia?)
McCain had a falling out with his adviser Randy Scheunemann, what all was that about? Whatever it was, it doesn't bother Sarah Palin because she is in bed with Scheunemann now.
The current report settles who started the So. Ossetia attack.
Report: Georgia Triggered War With RussiaSEPTEMBER 30, 2009"For Moscow, the report's finding on who shot first is a significant victory, one that's likely to undermine efforts by Georgia President Mikheil Saakashvili to rally Western support behind him.""The report notes that the United States, Ukraine and Israel supplied large scale economic and military aid to Georgia that allowed the country to double its military in the space of a few years."BRUSSELS--
A nine-month European Union investigation into the 2008 war in the Caucasus has concluded that Georgia triggered the conflict, but that Russia prepared the ground for war to break out and broke international law by invading Georgia as a whole.Conclusions to the roughly 1,000 page report, released on Wednesday by Swiss diplomat Heidi Tagliavini, also found that Russia-backed South Ossetian militias committed atrocities and "ethnic cleansing" of Georgian villages during and since the war. It faulted Russian forces in control of the territory that either "would not or could not" control the South Ossetians.The report found no evidence to back Russian claims that Georgia committed genocide on the night of Aug.7-8.The conflict, which briefly brought the United States and Russia into Cold War-style confrontation, left some 850 people dead, 35,000 permanently displaced and Europe's security infrastructure severely weakened. Russian forces remain in occupation of the two territories, while Moscow has recognized them as independent states.

"Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" McCain and Scheunemann finger prints were all over the Republic of Georgia and
Mikheil Saakashvili, the rogue crook who thought he had the back up to take on Russia in South Ossetia. That's not all, they sent
Cindy McCain, looking like White House material, on a sudden humanitarian stint.
"Cindy McCain, the wife of Sen. John McCain, flew Monday evening to the Republic of Georgia, where a military confrontation with Russia over disputed territory has become an issue on the presidential campaign trail."August 26, 2008 "She's on the phone with the World Food Program, he's on the phone with Saakashvili," McCain adviser Nicolle Wallace told Time.

Long wait continues for Palin e-mails
In the request, Higgins sought Palin's schedules and calendars between Jan. 1, 2007, and Sept. 15, 2008. The Democrats also sought various categories of e-mails for about the same time period, including:

I had a very interesting tête-à-tête last week that I thought I'd share. As you may have guessed, I'm on the email distro lists for all the major Sunday shows and cable news networks, and I get email notifications for who the scheduled guests will be as well as transcripts, p.r. pieces and the like. Last week, when ABC sent me an email that John McCain was going to be their guest again, I sent back a snarky reply asking if they ever had John Kerry on after he lost the election to George Bush as often as they've had McCain, and why, when there are so many actual issues about which the public needs to be informed, they gave so much air time to GOP obstructionism.
excerpton to discuss how the violent rhetoric that used to be relegated to the fringes of the Republican Party which has been mainstreamed since Obama's election and let Sen McCain respond to that? After all, he is the one who brought Sarah Palin to the national stage (and as I recall, actually said on your program that Palin was his "soul mate" after having only had one phone conversation and a short meeting with her before asking her on the ticket) and there is no other politician who has tapped so proficiently into that zeitgeist. I think it would be beneficial for Americans to hear someone of Sen. McCain's gravitas and stature disavow the kind of violent and racist rhetoric we've all seen. I'm more than happy to provide you with contact information for Mr. Neiwert if you are so inclined.
But if you're not interested in putting Sen. McCain on the spot, perhaps next time you do a show on the problems we're facing in Afghanistan, the "balance" you seek would be better achieved by putting on a politician who favors withdrawal, like Rep. Alan Grayson, instead of two hawks who will both say that the most important thing is "winning" in Afghanistan without actually explaining what "winning" means or how we can achieve it militarily. Where's the balance in that

Mudflats: The Ken Morris Challenge
MSNBC video interview with Cathy Maples:
After blowing smoke in numerous interviews Ms. Maples finally claimed she met Todd and Sarah at the Anchorage airport, it is clear they had another rendezvous.
Ms. Cathy Maples is the high bidder and winner of the Free Shipping and Alabama dinner with Sarah Palin, can you imagine the glee if not only Sarah shows up but Track Palin as well? Can you spell photo op, or is Ms. Maples camera shy like the new Sarah?

auction, which had a minimum bid of $25,000. Maples will have to foot the bill to meet up with Palin for dinner, likely in Alaska.
If he would go into private and run a business for a few years he would give him some
insight concerning taxes. If elected I am afraid we will have a depression. Most people
don't study the economy and the effects his policy will have on the U.S. they vote because
of personality. #464 - Tue Sep 9, 2008
