Last fall, media reports alleged that Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) had tried to ban books from the local library while mayor of Wasilla. The McCain campaig...

We learn on Facebook that Palin has "serious concerns" with Obama's stimulus package. Say what?

It's suddenly 1999 again, when we all thought that accurately calling a candidate "unqualified" would make him a laughing stock. But the joke was on us: the cheap shots generated controversy, which helped land him in the White House.

Palin has always been fast and loose with the truth, but her duplicity about the pipeline extends far beyond whether it is currently being built or not -- it is not -- but whether or not it ever will be built.

Had news agencies agreed to pay the exorbitant fees for access to her accounts, Palin's emails would have topped Alaskan crude oil as the state's No. 1 export.

As we have heard from the analysts on both sides for much of the last month, this year we saw "the perfect storm" hit the Republican party in almost every conceivable way.

If you haven't already, pay homage to a Palin White House. "Where'd Russia go!" Sadly, as funny as this is, it makes my stomach drop because it remind...

Palin is in the driver's seat and plans to stay there. Her take-no-prisoners nasty streak and extreme right wing views have found kindred spirits now that she's fully staffed up with veterans of Bush.

It's all negative all the time now in the TV ad wars. For once, Obama has stolen a march on McCain in the campaign hit parade. And his attack strategy seems to be much more on the axis of decision for this election.

If John McCain is too busy saving America to debate Obama tomorrow, why not send Sarah Palin to take him on? After all, he handpicked her and insists ...

McCain didn't choose the hot governor because of his enlightenment toward the female gender or because of her intelligence or readiness to face the fiascos out of which our country must dig ourselves.

Why the secrecy? Why try so hard to cover up your e-mail trail? What exactly is Gov. Palin trying to hide?

A strange hacking incident earlier today tied up another loose end for Gov. Sarah Palin. Overnight, one of Palin's Yahoo e-mail accounts was compromi...

The notion that there's any serious doubt over the meaning of the Bush Doctrine is as credible as the notion that there is any serious doubt in the scientific community on the basic reality of global warming.

Two New York women decided to speak out against Sarah Palin by sending an email to their friends asking them to fight back. The email ended up getting sent around the world, and now women from all over the globe have responded on how they view the Alaska governor.

The culture wars are not distractions from real political business: John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin may be cynical, but conservative enthusiasm for her is not.

I suggest that it is time to ask: What are we personally doing to make mocking others unacceptable? What are we doing to create a culture of dignity?
Marlene H. Phillips | Posted 05.25.2011
My email roared out the response of women who wanted their opinions on this election to be heard. "Insulted," was one word they used, and enraged with John McCain's underestimation of them.

How can progressives channel our outrage over the prospect of an unqualified, dangerously far-right wing pitbull with lipstick like Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency?

Barack needs to pay attention to a base of Black voters, not to take them for granted. Black America needs to be addressed on its key issues. Forty-six percent of Black America did not vote in the last presidential race.
