There’s Something About Sarah

1. Palin was a cynical, politically motivated pick for McCain. He wanted to try to steal Hillary supporters away from Obama. If it succeeds, it’s Hillary’s fault – she should step into the discussion more forcefully than she has.
2. Palin is nowhere near qualified for the position and everywhere knows it.
3. More and more stories are coming out on her pettiness and vindictiveness in hirings and firings – troopergate is NOT an isolated incident.
4. She really should stop lying about the bridge to nowhere. She supported it.
5. She tried to ban books. She should stop lying about that too.
6. She said that global warming was not man-made. That’s almost unbelievably dumb.
7. She told Charlie Gibson she had insight into Russia because the Russian land mass is visible across the Bering Strait. That is also unbelievably dumb.
8. She had sexual assault victims Pay for their own rape-exam kits when she was mayor of Wasilla. That is insulting to all women, everywhere.

What should we expect, voters voted Bush in two times, they are against the war buut they want to vote McCain in office because he claims he knows how to fix the mess he started in the first place. So why shouldn’t the votes vote for some women that has no experience except a big mouth. THe problem with the economy started with Reagan deregulating everything and McCain was a big supporter of allowing private business to self regulate and look what we have, but lets make him president because he can lie with a straight face.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a mom of five children contesting for any office even the office of president. If men can do it why cant women do the same. The question is whether she he/she has the requisite knowledge.
I am professional and I support my wife in her professional career as well. She has risen to the top in her career because she is qualified.
My problem with the Palin story is that she is not ready to be VP and the McCain campaign only put her out there to rally the far right wing of its base. I know so many moderate republicans who are also not happy about McCain’s choice and I am one of them!
Any objective person out there knows that Sarah Palin is NOT ready to be VP and its more scary that she may end up becoming Potus if McCain wins. We may need to keep praying for him.

that bush woman in a skirt with lipstick DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ME!

she may be able to handle it
but as far as the issues we face
it’s bad when the comedienne who plays you on TV is actually more qualified and more equipped to and more well read and well spoken about the issues
than the candidate.
I say …you juts watch…don’t be surprised if they pull a “Dave” and Plain starts looking a lot like Tina Fey (lol).

it needs to stop about her being a woman. that is not the issue. her positions on economy, environment, abortion, the war, and education, these are important. Her very relevant experience and record as mayor and govenor. Finally her seeming inability to tell the truth while campaigning. It goes far beyond stretching facts or telling only half the story. She speaks with the full knowledge that what she is saying is false and specifically designed to win an election. 8 years of that is enough.

Breaking News
Tina Fey was kidnapped last night and dragged to a secret meeting in the white house.
From out of a back room Karl Rove, D!ck Cheney and John McCain come out and approach her saying…
“Tina…we made a mistake…we think you are more qualified to be the Backup leader of the free world and we are going to switch you out…
reports of your early demise will be solicited tomorrow…that you were attacked by a mass of terrorist on the streets of New York…who were upset about you making fun of Sarah Palin…
but we understand now that you understand these issues and have more know how and qualifications than she has”
“Tina will you serve your country?”
Tina – “well what is going to happen to Gov Palin”
Cheney – “uh she will be vacationing in …uh” (looks at Rove)”in Saudi Arabia at one our secre…our secret vacation places”
“oh”
Rove..”how do you feel about mooseburgers?”

I’ve been told Sarah Palin ordered “Vice Presidency for Dummies”, “Where in the World is That Country”, and “Famous Republican Platitudes” from Ebay.
So by GOP standards she’s now ready for the job. (Just don’t make her answer any more questions. Only let the party tell you how qualified she is.)
Why on earth would ANYONE want their leaders to be “just like them”?
Do people really believe that because she has kids – THAT makes her qualified?
“You can see Russia from an island in Alaska” IS NOT national security experience. The fact that they even tried to imply it should sound LOUD sirens about how DANGERIOUSLY unqualified she is for the job.
Do we not want the leaders who will guide our nation to be brightest individuals in our country?
Nah, let’s go for the mediocre mind and the newest female member of the ‘old boy network’. Because, “she really understands me”.
Palin has a jouralism degree. She got a D in macroeconomics! She was mayor of a tiny town barely bigger than my old high school. Where her greatest accomplishment was building an ice skating rink that went over budget and ended up in court.
What exactly do people think Palin is actually going to do other than take orders from the power brokers who control the Republican party? She has already proven to be nothing more than a parrot who reads the speeches she has been given.
In her ONE and ONLY intervew, she showed America why a VP should be vetted prior to accepting the position.

More liberal gibberish.
Next, we’ll hear how Saras is also responsible for:
Global warming, global cooling, global whining, the flu, VD, cancer, herpes, rabies, jews, catholics, satanists, protestants, illegal immigration, dysentery, malaria, the banking mess, the monster from Loch Ness, high blood pressure, low tire pressure, big oil, big business, nobody’s busines, blah, blah, blah, blah…..
Socialists are scared of her and are pulling out all the stops to villify her, without knwowing America is no longer fooled, thanks to Al Bore and that internet invention of his.
This is getting sooooo boring…

You can put lipstick on a pig, but you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
PALIN DOESN’T CUT IT.

The bottom line is this. She scares the hell out of all these liberal woman She has VALUES and she stands for what is right!!! The only thing that this lady doesn’t support on woman issues are their ABORTION issue and that is the thing why they are worried Woman has a choice before that drop theirXXX

We need rubber boots when that woman talks…..the crap gets mighty deep.

the worst most ill prepared, uneducated about the issues…unaware of facts behind the issues…
that we have ever seen in our nation.
The worst and most selfishly crappy and wrecklessly destructive decision we have ever seen by a Presidential candidate.

Obama talks of equal pay for equal work. McCain hires women. Sorry, liberals, your chickens will come home to roost.

Palin “has values” “someone you can trust”
are you people kidding are you reading the reports out of Alaska…
she is a freakin liar…
who uses power for personal gain
who doesn’t have a clue about the massive issues we are facing as a nation
who actually didn’t have theat executive experience as they have portrayed…
whose husband has been emailed on every other issue she decides…
do you think ANY of the other candidates email their spouses on issues as much as it is becoming clear Palin does…
adn her husband WAS a card carrying member of the LIBERATION party in Alaska…
he loved our country sooo much he wanted his state to secede.
this is crazy…you people are either crazy or just plain stupid.

The liberals are worried that God will be left in the public square..you remove that and anything goes..culture rot even more… but they seem to ignore the Founding Fathers whom brought God into each aspect of life, liberty and justices. I cannot stand what damage the left has brought onto our society. It’s madness. Now, they have a man running for president who is friends with William Ayers, who bombed buildings and said he didn’t do enough and that guy was at Obama’s and Michelle’s house. It’s crazy, they are insane. McCain will beat in a landslide.

The real problem is that Palin’s family is in a big mess and nobody is talking about that reality. Her state has the highest rate of rape in the USA and nobody is taking about that. Women who are raped were asked to pay for their medical exmans and nobody is thinking about that. I do not know how anybody cannot understand that Palin is not real, she is a real creation of the republican party and McSame’s campaign.

Mack, in the interview with Charlie Gibson, it is clearly stated that she thinks the exception for life of the mother is correct. State the facts, not what you wish she said.

Joel. He’s manly. Get over it.

I know one thing–some liberal women are mean. The ultra left women and men are very hateful. I know not one person in my life that is as this mean and hateful as some of the liberals that I have met on line. So, it’s clear they hate Mrs. Palin. Hate can’t be good for all.

ABC – you just won’t concede that one extra percentage point on your Polls will you? Everyone else has.
McCain / Palin ’08

It’s really getting under their skin, and they are losing faith in their Messiah.

She had them install a tanning bed in the Governors House. Maybe she used some of the money from the plane she “sold on ebay” to pay for it. LMAO.

Palin is a 19th century woman. She lives in a state that has no idea how to handle budgets in red, children leaving school before graduation. She has been sheltered and has no idea what is going on in the world as evidenced by her answers in the interview. It looks like she doesn’t even keep up with current events. that is NOT a woman of the 21st century

For those who chuckled with Charlie as he spoke down to a very accomplished woman about “the Bush Doctrine”, Krauthammer has some enlightening thoughts for your progressive, closed minds.

Typical MSM arrogation. The news dept of ABC will be part of its economic downfall, unless they let Stossel set the agenda. Gibson’s thinking is more out of touch, and more intellect-challenged than Rosie O’Donnel

REPUBLICANS keep wanting to say we don’t like Palin because she has kids, or she’s a woman, or she wears lipstick.
No. Actually we don’t like Sarah Palin because SHE DOES NOT KNOW ENOUGH TO SERVE as Vice President. ANY completely UNKNOWN person entering the race with two months to go would be under the exact same scrutiny. Her ONLY interview showed America how frighteningly unprepared she really is! Since they’re afraid to let her have any press conferences, that’s what we know about her. And the more we read about her record, the SCARIER she becomes.
We don’t like her because she is a RIGHT WING radical. She represents the RIGHTEST of the RIGHT. She will set women back 40 years if given the chance.
McCain sold his integrity, he sold his honesty, and HE SOLD OUT HIS OWN COUNTRY after picking Palin. He put our nation at risk by chosing her.
McCain has had to lie everyday since the convention to try and convince voters Palin has any real credentials. Even Karl Rove is saying McCain is not passing the truth test. YES, KARL ROVE CALLED McCAIN A LIAR.
So forget the rhetorical and fake “outrage” over Palin’s treatment. Welcome to national politics Ms Palin. She says she’s ready for the job, but obviously she is not.
And don’t think you are anywhere close to Hillary Clinton. Hillary would run circles around McCain ands Palin combined.

if you guys will just focus on the issues, you would realize that this is not an issue of personality…its a battle for all our lives here…nationally and globally.
When you’ve all gotten over your prejudiced perception, please remember that America is near collapse and need some sharp minds who can relate to the global economy.
America is borrowing heavily from China, Wall Street is near collapse, all the jobs in America are being shipped overseas and global respect is declining fast for the American brand
I supported Clinton before she became desperate during the primaries…with this singular action of stumping for Obama, she just regained my respect cos she has just proven that it was not just a personal ambition for her… her bid for presidency was about the issues.
and it will help us all if we would focus on the issues… this is not a hollywood rivalry of celebrities…its about our lives, our future and our children
people…lets get back to the basics

Bottom line: If McCain/Palin win, we will most certainly see this headline again:
As the London Times headlined when Bush was re-elected: “How Can 50 Million People Be So Dumb?”

So many people think Palin is a ridiculous choice, and I don’t understand why the media is shoving her down our throats. More and more I see the hype of Palin as mass media attention, NOT positive attention/interest from all the women of America.
Give me Hillary back, pant suits and all. Obama/Biden 08

Palin is not “like us.” She is not a real working mom- those of us in the real world do not get to set up housekeeping- a crib and swing- in our office and bring the baby to work everyday. Of course, other articles say that she “worked from home” 312 out of 365 days last year and then billed the state of Alaska a per diem allowance for her and her husband. It sounds like a great gig if you can get it , but it’s not the reality of what working moms face evveryday. Her answer about firing the town librarian to Charlie Gibson was a total lie – Palin said “its an old wives tale.” Well no, it is true. And of course how she hires her unqualified friends for state and local positions. This woman has no clue- she is no Hillary and she’s not a “real working mom.”
I am not sold on Obama either- Hillary is my candidate

Hey check out narconews.com
Sarah Palin had a private tanning bed installed in the governor’s mansion in 2007!!

Fascist writer Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist who Sarah Palin approvingly quoted in her acceptance speech for the moral superiority of small town values, expressed his fervent hope about my father, Robert F. Kennedy, as he contemplated his own run for the presidency in 1965, that “some white patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in pubic premises before the snow flies.”
It might be worth asking Governor Palin for a tally of the other favorites from her reading list. – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. 9/15/08

No way, No how, NO Obama/Biden !

One thing I don’t get it, if Sarah Palin is such a feminist, why does she need her husband to be in her official meetings? Does she need his advice or permission?

MJ, I thought he was her security guard. You know she needs one, on account of how she looks and all…

the out of touch obama crowd believe that all americans are cosmopolitan big city elitists. the truth is that most states are comprised of small towns, and small town people-who by the way vote and fight your wars. i realize that many of you actually believe that you are the only inhabitants in the universe-that is elitism. snubbing your nose at small town folks only makes you and your candidate obama sound like snobs-now do you get what we mean by elitist snobs like obama and his supporters? it has nothing to do with money. but hey thanks your arrogance will cost obama and the democrats at the state level the election.

SARAH PALIN IS TEFLON, CANT TOUCH HER… MOST OF THE WOMEN IN THE MEDIA ARE CYNICAL AND ANALYTICAL..
THE REST OF THE WOMEN I HAVE SPOKEN TO DONT CARE..
HERE IS A MOM, WHO LOOKS LIKE THEM. PIPER WIPING HER BROTHER TRIG WITH THAT MUCH SALIVA DID IT FOR ME. .. THIS IS ANYONE’S FAMILY– I LIKE THESE PEOPLE.. NOT OBAMA AND CERTAINLY NOT BRING OLD BIDEN..
THERE IS SOMETHING YOUNG ABOUT MAVERICK MCCAIN. THE PICK OF PALIN SAID, THAT IS A MAVERICK.

I wonder if she’ll let McCain use her $10.000 tanning bed.

nevada,
Funny, I seem to remember the Clintons both giving very good speeches about supporting Obama before Palin was announced. I doubt either of the Clintons have to work again at a job, so if she really didn’t want to campaign for Obama, she could say no. But then, that only shows that she puts country first, and not her pride. It takes a strong person to go out and campaign for the person who won after the battle Obama and Hillary had. Why cheapen that by defecting?

Typical MSM arrogation. The news dept of ABC will be part of its economic downfall, unless they let Stossel set the agenda. Gibson’s thinking is more out of touch, and more intellect-challenged than Rosie O’Donnell’s.

I grew up in a small town in PA. Yes, I’m educated, (much more than Sarah) and I’m also a military veteran.
I support Senator Obama.
And that doesn’t make me elitist. I’m just your average working mother and grandmother.

i remember during the obama hillary primary season obama male supporters posting blogs saying i am not sexist i would vote for a woman ‘just not that woman’ meaning hillary. now you say i am not sexist i just would not vote for that woman again-sorry the argument has worn thin and shallow.
but now hillary is your hero give me a break. you think we forget the horrible vile manner in which hillary and US her supporters were treated by obama supporters. but now she is the standard bearer for women candidates?
mccain palen the ticket for me.

Nevada,
If you comments are directed towards me let me set some things straight. First, you are making broad generalizations about Obama supporters. There were as many over the top zealous Hillary supporters saying outrageous things about Obama and his supporters as the other way around. Second, I was on the fence about voting for Obama or Hillary in the Texas primary until the last minute. It was how she answered a few questions that pushed me towards Obama. I have admired her since she was the First Lady. Third, I am a woman.
I would have been happy with either Obama or Hillary running for President because both had the same basic platforms for what they wanted to do to help the country. That is why I don’t understand why Hillary supporters can abandon all of what Hillary worked for by voting for McCain/Palin who is opposite on many issues from Hillary.

The Hypocraciy of the Republican party is so disgusting it makes my head spin. Sarah Palin was an impulsive incompetent decision by am impulsive incompetent Elderly Senator who all his life has had an angry renegade streak and a temperment not suitable to lead any Nation much less the United States.
Sarah Palin and her Followers term themselves christians but tell blatant lies.
Further it has always been puzzling why republicans want the Government to manage peoples personal lives but allow commercial institutions to do whatever they please.
Finally, women are proving that they are not about substance they are about show and image. Carly Fiorinna will call anyone sexist who dare to question Palin’s nomination for the VP post.
Many are closet racists and it is time reverse sexism be exposed for what it is.

Ah yes, women are going to vote Republican because a woman can’t be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation.

It’s rather humorous how hard people are looking for things to hold against Sarah Palin. She must REALLY scare the Democrats who ensured that Barack Obama was the nominee. Well, you’re stuck with him, and trying to make things up about Sarah Palin won’t change that fact or make Obama look like the Messiah to anyone but those you’ve already convinced.
That’s not to say Palin doesn’t have faults and who doesn’t? Is she inexperienced in national politics? Yes. Is that concerning? Maybe. However, if that’s the argument against her, then Obama needs to be taken out of the equation as presidential candidate. He clearly has as little – and in some ways less – experience as Sarah Palin does, and he also has questionable ties, questionable moves and a problem with the truth and accountability.
I find it astonishing that people believe McCain has had a free ride from the press, the same people who cry about the press being against Obama. Are you kidding? Obama has had the biggest free ride in the history of politics. I’m all for historic candidates – whether it’s a woman or someone besides a white man – however it’s time to move beyond how great it is “historically” to elect someone and look at who is actually the best candidate. Sorry, Obama just doesn’t cut it.

Obama may have worked 3 years as a community organizer… he was hired at the age of 23… but he became disillusioned at the little progress he was able to make. People have to want to help themselves. He may have tried to be vehicle to lead them, but he wasn’t successful.He thought real change comes from the bottom up, not top down. But if he couldn’t success at a local level on a small scale basis, what makes you think he can succeed on a large scale basis as commander-in-chief? Do you think he worked in soup kitchens and the like? Can any of you democrats come up with any real accomplishments he made as a community organizer?

Wow the liberals are going crazy. A woman in the whitehouse and not their woman.
And how stupid are the rest of you women, that do the bidding for the democrats just so they let you get rid of unwanted pregnancies.
Notice I said let you, like you need permission from all the old men in this country to do what you want. Stop asking for permission and vote for Palin it will be a step out of the kitchen and into the whitehouse.

Nearly every argument used against Palin here can be said for the PRESIDENTIAL candidate no less, by the name of Obama. Lacks experience: yes, Has a family: yes, Supported Bridge to Nowhere: yes, Used people for own political gain: yes. BUT the key for me, is that Palin does not associate with and befriend radical and racist ministers, radical and activist groups, people who have been charged with felonies, and have a habit and record of having voted ‘present’ on critical issues. All of this is very foolish behavior for someone who wants to be president. While Obama may not be a racist radical, his friends and associates are, and we all know what happens to those cronies when one is elected to an office. Are those the people we want surrounding and encouraging OBama to promote their own personal agendas? He is their puppet, their “front”man… the man with the look and the eloquent way of speaking. Obama clearly has no backbone… look at his record… look at the political races he won by default. Look at his stance on the hard issues: “present”. It’s the biggest con I’ve ever seen in this country and the sad thing is, I don’t even think Obama realizes how he managed to catapult to his current position either.

mack i have always been a democrat just like my ancestors. but i am switching to independent.
i don’t really care who wins at this point yet. i just want to see whoever wins win based on the issues not on who did the best job of smearing the other and his supporters. isn’t that the mantra of the republicans? think kerry and gore? that is not my democrat party-my party abandoned me i did abandon the party. why bothers me and why i am jumping ship is for one the huge poor judgement issue in not selecting hillary as obamas v.p. was obama afraid that a smarter more experienced woman would outshine him? and the selection of joe biden an empty gaffe machine. for me it reeks of a contender obama who is insecure needs all the attention, has poor judgement, and was arrogant enough to believe that he had it in the bag and could go it alone without a strong v.p that is a scary choice for potus.

For those of you that don’t read, or can’t read…. ==rollineyes==
Everyone keeps going on and on about Hillary not winning, Hillary not being selected…
Hillary Clinton did NOT, I repeat, DID NOT want to be vetted unless she was selected to be the nominee. Now we ALL know, or at least should know, that is not how the process works.
She did not want her finances raked over unless she was selected. That meant that both she and Bill had to be vetted, since he is a former President.
That was the main reason she did not want to provide her tax returns during the primaries…remember, she said she would provide them only AFTER she was the nominee.
Please get smarter people, this country, our childrens future, is at stake here.

Your uneducated, disingenuous arguments make you look biased and bigoted.
Stop listening to hannity and limbaugh and read more. sheeeesh

Fran, he pushed the city to do testing in all city apartments for asbestos. I would say pushing the city into finding and getting rid of a carcinogens in the apratments they run would be a big accomplishment.
Traci, there were things coming out about Palin within 24 hours of the announcement of her on the ticket. Don’t really have to look that hard.
msa, Palin is married to a guy who was part of a group to make Alaska its own country, and McCain had his 70th birthday party on the yacht of a guy just convicted of fraud and money laundering. Palin goes to a church that condemns all other religions. So much for not interacting with radicals and felons.
Also, check the information about the present/abstain voting. Obama only voted present around 120 times out of the approximately 4,000 votes in the Illinois Senate. McCain has voted abstain (not voting) more times than Obama (53% to 40%) over the same time period.
http://www.babeled.com/2008/08/31/an-honest-comparison-of-obama-mccains-senate-voting-records/

Only Liberals are completely obsessed with this woman….the party of tolerence? Not much. Gov. Palin is the only candidate of the 4 who had to make Executive decisions DAILY for the people she governs. SHE IS the American Dream…..humble beginnings, college grad, marries High School sweetheart, PTA mom, City Councilwoman, Mayor, Governor and now McCain’s first executive decision….kudos Sen. McCain! Gov. Palin represents more of the us in the U.S. than any other candidate, and she will be a quick learner, sponge at your side. I can hardley wait…and I love between the two candidates there are 12 children, some adopted, some special needs.
Gov. Palin has a “Mr. Mom” in Tood, her own mom and day, two sisters, one with a 13 year old special needs kid….this is one family that will take care of each other, no matter how this election turns out.
COUNTRY FIRST!
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN EVEN BEFORE HE PICKED PALIN!

Mack…I don’t think you want to discuss fraud and money laundering on your candidate’s side (Nobama)….he has criminal, terriorists and racists tied so close to him it’s laughable he’s still in the race, but it’s his race that keeps him here…a white guy would have had to drop out last March when all this came to light AFTER his 11 primary wins.

First, I am curious after reading these blogs why it seems as though Palin is the one running for the presidency, not Mc Cain. If I am not mistaken, the presidential race is between Mc Cain, Obama, and the other assorted candidates who get NO press time. Is this a representation of true democracy or really the media machine run by the three or four “good ol’ boys”? At the end of the day, ALL politicians are basically the same. I do not see any difference; same backbiting, same non-informational dialogue, same rhetoric. Again, another election with a choice of the lessor of two evils. I have not heard any discussion or representation of true conversation and ideas that are or can be supported by the “common man”. Bureaucratic dialogue does NOT mean change.
The people need to mobilize and become responsible for the change they desire. They need to mobilize and write their congressional officers to have their voices heard. ALL lobbying monies need to be refused AND all laws that are passed by congress to reduce the chances for “lined pockets” must be adhered to with the utmost of accountability. Loopholes are always found in any law written. Information is always translated in a way that is understood by the listener, not by a majority. This does not ALWAYS make it right, correct, or honest.

All Obama had to do was choose Hillary – he would’ve been certain to take the presidency – but, he just couldn’t do it. Evidently he’s intimidated by strong women – first Hillary and now, Palin – who has absolutely shaken him up. I certainly question his judgment, as well as how badly he wants the job, since he didn’t do the most obvious thing he could’ve done to win. On the other hand, McCain showed wisdom, courage, and political savvy with his choice. And the fact that he kept it secret just chaps the media severely. It’s really funny to see the seasoned “old man” show the “kid” just what years of experience means.

I am a loyal viewer of GMA and also a very capable professional. My organization is doing a major exhibition in NYC October 6-8 and have contacted GMA receiving the response that you are not interested. After watching many inane coverages of very in consequencial things I am actually very disappointed to say the least. Please visit our wheat field on October 6 at South Street Seaport….
