This is the person that the Republicans want to put a heartbeat (and a potentially frail heartbeat at that) away from the oval office. Here are some questions for her:
Q: You have said that you said "thanks but no thanks" to the Bridge to Nowhere. In fact, you not only supported it, but accepted the money, and never gave it back. How do you justify accepting the money for a project you openly boast rejecting, and do you think your boast is untrue? And to which project/fund/earmark has this money gone to, and did the Alaskan people have any say in the usage of this money?
Q:Is reading books a useful or enjoyable part of your weekly routine? What was the last book you read, and what did you like or dislike about it? What are you favorite books, and what did you like about them? Was it true that you sought to ban certain controversial books from the local library? Which books were they, and what purpose was the ban supposed to serve? Is it true that you threatened to fire the town librarian over this issue?
Q: Aside from your disagreement over polar bears, on what policies do you differ from George W. Bush?
Q: How do you differ on policy from John McCain?
Q: Why is the McCain campaign trying to intimidate the media on your behalf? Do they see you as so weak and unqualified that you should not stand the scrutiny of media vetting that other candidates endure?
Q: If you really think Hillary Clinton was whiny, why are you letting the McCain campaign whine on your behalf?
Q: Do you believe that before The Rapture can take place that Israel has to be entirely in the hands of the Jews? How do you feel about Jews? How do you feel about black people? Have you ever used the term Sambo in reference to any black person?
Q: Do you beleive the earth is 6000 years old?
Q: Do you agree with Bush-appointed U.S. District Judge John E. Jones who said that so-called "intelligent design" is creationism in disguise?
Q: Ask her if the Bible or the Constitution is the higher authority in America?
Q: Barack Obama worked his way from nothing through an Ivy League education without the benefit of affirmative action, and based solely on his merits, and was able only recently to pay off his student loans thanks to his success as an author. Do you denigrate this success as "elitist" and "out of touch" with Americans such as yourself - or do you applaud his success story as an uplifting story of American possibilities?
Q: If your daughter were raped and became pregnant and wanted to choose to have an abortion, how would you counsel her? If she wanted to go ahead despite your advice, how would you treat her?
Q: Want to know if she wants Roe v Wade overturned and the follow up to that one is, does she want a life at conception amendment?. If so, what will the penalties will be for a woman? Her doctor? should she become president, would mean the end of abortion rights via her access to Supreme Court appointments?.
Q: What are your views on contraception? Outlaw it or not?
Q: Do you believe the fourth amendment covers women and their bodies or doesn't cover women and their bodies. Your views of early childhood education funding and Head Start funding?
Q: Sex education in the public schools should the federal government ban it or not ban it?
Q: Ask her about abstinence programs and the lack of documented evidence that it helps teenagers put off sex?.
Q: Do families have a right to health insurance paid for in part by employers?
Q: Do you think that I am going to go to hell when I die? Me, personally? I mean I'm pretty religious and have read all the books and believe in god and pray alot, but I haven't actually accepted Jesus as my personal savior. I understand that there are like 200 million Americans who fall into the same camp, one way or another.
Q; Do you think an elected official should use the power of his or her office to deal with supposed enemies of his or her family.....or his or her country? Should we be talking with our enemies? What are your theories about when to use diplomacy and when to use force in international relations or conflicts within our own borders? For example if the situation that happened in Waco texas back in 94 was for you to decide, what would you have done?
Q: Is there any movement to allow same sex marriages in Alaska? If there were, what is your position on same sex marriage?
Q: How do you expect the legislature's investigation to turn out....the investigation of the allegation that you tried to use the power of your office to get your former brother in law fired from his job as a state trooper. Why did the state safety director resign? Did you ask for his resignation and if so why?
Q: How many times had you met with and talked with John McCain before you got the call that he wanted you as his running mate? What had you discussed in these brief meetings?
Q: How do you expect to appeal to the women that were supporting Hillary during her primary race? What percentage of their votes do you expect to get? Among Republican women, what percentage of their vote do you expect to get? For what reasons might either group not vote for you?
Q: People like "Swifty" Corsi and rightist yappers like to make the claim that Barack Obama is a Muslim. Do you think Obama is Muslim or Christian? If you believe he is Christian, will you denounce Corsi and his ilk? If you equivocate, and refuse to answer directly, isn't that simply a political stunt on your part?
Q; Do you think Barack Obama wants to "lose" in Iraq. Do you question his patriotism or do you think such speculation is ridiculous, cynically designed by the GOP to pander to the weakest-minded members of the Republican base?
Q: In 2000, McCain spoke out against Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, calling them agents of intolerance who exercised "evil influence" over the Republican Party. So Gov. Palin, who did you vote for in the Republican Primary in 2000? Are you a follower of such "agents of intolerance"? Is your Pastor in Alaska an agent of intolerance?
Q: If Alaska were to secede from the United States, do they get to keep federally owned land?
Q: What was the budget deficit of Wasilla when you became mayor, what was it after you left?
Thats just a start...
