There's an interesting article about Palin in a Seattle newspaper by a native Alaskan and Seth Kantor.

Seth Kantner was born and raised in the Arctic and is a commercial fisherman in Alaska's northernmost salmon fishery. He is the author of "Shopping for Porcupine" and the best-selling novel "Ordinary Wolves."

He's not too impressed and shares his reaction about Palin, McCain, global warming, pollution in Alaska and a host of issues that concern us all.

I'm an Alaskan -- born in an igloo, enjoy whale muktuk, all that -- and in case you aren't sick of our state by now, I'll start off with an apology for one of our residents: Sarah Palin.

Sarah Palin is trying yet another nasty tactic as an unabashed political animal. She's fallen back into the culture wars on abortion and tried to walk the tight rope of not seeming mean while distorting Obama's record. Most insidious is her lack of concern for the unborn in Alaska where the hightest rates of children born with disabilities exist in the country.

On a day when an important civil rights figure condemned the tone of the McCain campaign, Palin seemed to acknowledge the nastiness. After chastising Obama for "unconditional support for unlimited abortions," she said at a rally in this heavily Catholic, socially conservative Democratic stronghold that "Americans need to see his record for what it is. And please: It is not negative, it is not mean-spirited, to talk to about his record."

This may seem like a winning tactic to play to her base. However, the article, Northern Exposure , in the New Atlantic exposes the fact that her concern is limited to abortion or she would not have been counterproductive in every effort to clean up the toxic stews in Alaska.

See below the fold. It is shocking!

John McCain's recent antics got me to really thinking about who the hell he is. I sort of did buy into the description of him being a war hero and a pretty decent guy; but on the wrong side of the political fence. I was wrong. The wheels fell off the straight talk express years ago!

The so called maverick has shown that he's really a shameless shapeshifter. Can you believe he really made am issue out of lipstick? I mean really! Trying to present himself as the steward of women's issues! Give me a break. Take a look at his humor and you tell me he gives one rats ass about being respectful to women or anybody else for that matter. (...and no I am not call him a rat or an ass...lest he open up the faucet of crocodile tears again.) Good Lord, who'd know our war hero is so sensitive. I digress.

Check out his neanderthal humor and his shapeshifting on policies ranging from taxes to torture below.

About that bridge to past policies and political tactics. Thanks, but no thanks.

I don't quite know what to make of a candidate that is feigning an interest in gender equity and all that is good to court Hillary Clinton supporters; when his best answer to, "How do we beat the bitch?" is "good question".

And again, thanks but no thanks because I don't know what to make of a candidate who manufactures sexism, misappropriates behaviors and cries crocodile tears about political attacks on families and women when for polictical purposes he literally "kisses" and makes up with GWB after the gross Rovian tactics that smeared his wife and family. I don't know quite know what to make of a candidate who for political expediency ignores the abuses to his family by flippantly saying, "politics ain't bean bag." Huh?

How low can a campaign go? Fox news is reporting on the horrors of discarded flags after the Denver convention and plan to make quite an ordeal out of this.

http://elections.foxnews.com/...

John McCain’s presidential campaign prepared to chastise Democrats Saturday over leaving behind piles of miniature American flags after Barack Obama’s nomination acceptance speech last Thursday in Denver.

Boy Scouts have arrived with 84 trash bags full of bundles of flags at the site of a McCain rally scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m. local time in Colorado Springs.

So, there you go. The McCain campaign is going to exploit little boys to make a pointless point. This campaign is in the dumpster.
