Palin Aide Offers Strong Rebuke to Criticisms

Posted by: KC | Nov 6, 2008 9:56:50 PM ************************Here’s your sign, Stupid. Next time read the article.

No one is more “retarded” than KC judging by that comment.

Sarah Palin didn’t even know that Africa was a continent. She’s twice as retarded as Trig.
________
Typical Obama voter.

I rewally don’t like Sarah and her stupidity. However, that doesn’t make it right to say that she is twice as retarted as her son. He has Down Syndrome and I don’t think that is something to be made fun of. On another note the woman is a complete idiot and I was very afraid if she made it into the white house. SHe was very dividing in calling some Americans REAL Americans as if everyone else doesn’t love her country. SHe tried to simplify everyone into drunk dummies by calling them Joe 6-packs we are all different and it is something this woman did not realize, as if she didn’t have enough other stupid mistakes. I’m very glad Obama won and has inspired us to believe that America can again be the UNITED States of America and gain respect around the world again.
OBAMA 08!!!

KC: If Gov. Palin misspoke about Africa, saying “country” instead of “continent” and you choose not to accept that explanation, then do you EVER accept that people make verbal mistakes? Using her precious son to insult her intelligence is just one indication that you have no heart.

Witless from Wasilla never admits making a mistake. She always counter-attacks and blames others. Classic Gingrich-GOPAC strategy. Interesting to note there was no rebuattal on her lack of knowledge as to the signators to NAFTA.

Why wont they release the names of people smearing her? Why wont you put them on TV?

I love Sarah Palin, that woman will be back and there is nothing anyone on the left can do about it. Did you see the throngs of people at her stops. John McCain would not have come close the number of votes he got if he had not picked Gov. Palin.
She will be back and one of the left greatest fears will finally be realized.
The paranoid little nitwits know their
power will be short lived back the
majority of Americans have Sarah Palin’s
values, not those of the moraless left
wing of the Democrat Party.
FEAR, Name calling, bashing, that’s all
these low IQ zealots have going for them. I found out a long time ago that
narrow minded left winger bash anything
fear. That’s the highest form of praise
they know!

KC & Yahtzee – you suit each other, you’re both morons.

She was McCain’s puppet!!!!
She was USED by McCain!!!!!
I never like that old racist DOG!!!!!

hey libs,the only reason this bunch of lies appears is because a woman like this eventually will spell doom for you queer lovers,repubs lost tuesday,not conservatives and thats why all the racket….mccain will go back to being a pathetic moderate……..Palin is on to bigger and better things,she understands like Mr. Reagan to give America a clear choice…..even in Cal.they rejected the pathetic misfits trying to become normal…..the moral is that most of our great society does not prescribe to the malignant beliefs that try to be shoved down our throats!!!! if and when she is at the top of the ticket well see what mr. kenya has for her………

“sandy”: do you work for a campaign or are you just regurgitating what someone else wrote? Wait a minute … sandy, are you really Joe Biden? You just cannot stop plagiarizing, can you?!

“sandy”: do you work for a campaign or are you just regurgitating what someone else wrote? Wait a minute … sandy, are you really Joe Biden? You just cannot stop plagiarizing, can you?!

I can only hope that Sarah will rise as the new GOP party leader.
It would be the premature end of a corrupt party that has brought America to the brink of its decline.

the second post was no better or worse than “Kc’s”
McCain/Palin lost. Deal with it. I had to deal with your policies for the last 40 years. It’s our turn now.

Now you got your choice he has “57″ states to govern haha… but as a good person we we hope he will do right thing for America.

It’s so disheartening to hear these comments. In reading these stories about Sarah Palin, it only makes her look worst when her aide gives yet another version of what actually went on. What the heck does it take get the truth?! More importantly, who cares anymore?!

Hauted by her words!!
She was used as a tool to win the election. God forbid…that’s not putting country first, it is putting carreer first.
She spoke so many ,lies she did not believe in..now she will be hauted by her words.

Funny how now the media is trying to blame the McCain campaign for throwing Sarah Palin under the bus, when THE PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DESTROYING SARAH PALIN! There is a lot of blame to go around, but the media is hugely responsible too. They were unbelievably hateful and vitriolic to her.

Did anyone notice that Obama didn’t know where he was at the end of the campaign? If that was jumped on like the misinformation on the Africa thing…. Did anyone notice that Michell is a fashion item? If that were jumped on like the misinformation and diva comments…..Did anyone notice the redistribution of wealth? Yes but not the media….Did anyone notice black bigots in a negative way or without excuse or did they find codes words and seek out white bigots?

This is totally unreal. Who ever reported on this stuff is just a very poor journalist. Argueing about clothes and how Palin mispoke about the statement of calling Africa country is just pitiful. Joe Biden thought FDR was talking to people through the TV and the TV didn’t exist yet. Nuts

Hahaha, too funny how the details are coming out now.
McCain picked a scatter brained trollop with little to no global knowledge. After learning of his mistake through closer contact, the campaign STILL kept her on board and tried to hide the issues instead of having her “withdraw” for a better choice. We just finished 8 years of a President unable to admit error.
Thank you, Jesus….your will was done!
OBAMA!!!!OBAMA!!!!OBAMA!!!!

Hey, the election is over and Sarah Palin and her family can get back to their lives again in a less hostile environment than the lower 48. Good luck to her in governor’s job and best wishes to her and her family. Now go find something else to gripe about. Follow what your elected officials do for you and get on their cases when they screw up, and they will.

NICE LIBERALS – FAIR AND TOLERANT, ALWAYS SO ACCEPTING OF OTHERS!!!
Calling Sarah Palin and her son retarded has got to be one of the lowest comments I have ever heard. Why can’t you just say you don’t care for the woman and go on. Why do you need to pour forth hate.

people, one of the reasons these fruitcakes on here refrence her baby is because she didnt have it killed!!!!! these geniuses always talk about iraq but in any given 2 days in this country,more Americans are slaughtered in abortion clinics than six years on the battlefields of iraq………..PUT THAT IN YOU PIPE AND SMOKEIT ALL YOU LENINIST OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!

The polls show that Palin was probably the third biggest reason behind McCain’s loss, trialing only the economy and connections to Pres. Bush. That’s not a good track record to defend…
http://www.political-buzz.com/

What really intrigues me about the treatment dealt out to Sarah Palin by the “impartial” media et al is that,by goodness, they really fear her.
I see in Sarah Palin something very special and rare.A common touch and feel for the situation.
I don’t think this is the last we will see of Mrs. Palin.
I wish her well.

JFK ( JUST FRUITY KOOK) dont try to mix Jesus in with bo,there about as far apart in what they represent as two persons can possibly be …. the lord of the flies had more to do with his election than GODS will !!!!!!!!

Sarah Palin is the best thing to happen for the Democratic Party. If she runs in 2012, they’ll win for sure. She’s no challenge.
Sad thing is she’s doesn’t know what she doesn’t know. That’s real bad.
At least know when you know nothing about a subject. It is wiser to say that you need to look into something then to open your mouth and let stupid fall out.
Don’t change Sarah, stay just the way you are!

Well, the election didn’t go the RIGHT way, so here’s my prediction: In
2012, the Republican ticket will be Fred Thompson and Sarah Palin.
Fred Thompson is positioning himself for a run for the presidency in
2012. He’s established http://www.FredPAC.com to support conservative
candidates for national office.
In 1976, Ronald Reagan lost the nomination to Gerald Ford who then lost
to Jimmy Carter. Ronald Reagan then spent the next four years
supporting conservative candidates for national office. In doing so, he
got their support for a run for the presidency. Get the picture?
Between 2008 and 2012, the country will experience the results of an
Obama presidency which will be worse than Carter’s. After four years,
the country will then swing from the left to the right again and elect
Fred Thompson as president. Remember, Ronald Reagan was 70 years old
when he took the oath of office. That’s what Fred Thompson will be on
January 20, 2013 (Fred’s birthday is August 19, 1942).

It’s funny when hateful and frightened people go too far and make such outrageous charges that they lose all credibility.
If the clowns making these ludicrous charges are representative of the people Palin had to deal with then I admire her even more than I did before.
It’s clear that she wasn’t the one who messed the campaign up.

IF Palin was dogmatic,then what would move on .org be considered???????

Michelle may have to wait with her first ladyshipness. I saw her on teevee, and she looked a little bit pregnant with triplets.

First and foremost – any female who feels the need to bash another woman has a serious problem. That is completely unacceptable behavior. As for NAFTA – get real – she is the governor of Alaska – one of her biggest trade partners is Canada – Alaska also exports salmon to South America and Latin American countries such as Mexico. Don’t get me started on also having foreign policy in trade with China as well as Japan! And what foreign policy skills does Obama have from the lovely land-locked state of Illinois? Please don’t forget to actually do your homework in regards to someone’s resume and credentials – something that Obama voters apparently care nothing about. Palin helped run a fishing company w/ her husband in Alaska – yet another reason to know about NAFTA and the trade laws in place – she then became Mayor (and executive position) and then ran against her own party because of corruption (something running rampant in Congress with the demorcats like Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Dodd et al.) and became Governor – she had over an 80% approval rating – which is incredible! The $150K wardrobe is the most ridiculous excuse I have ever heard from anyone. The RNC bought the clothes – not her – she is on the record also stating that the clothes will be auctioned off for charity – lemme just make this clear – Biden gave $3,600 in charity over the last 8 yrs. – her auctioned wardrobe will make 200x more! The pettiness of some people on the left and even on the right is ridiculous – the fear of strong attractive woman apparently scares people. She is allowed to have her own ideologies and opinions whether you agree or not – I vote on chacter and someone who speaks to me as an average american citizen. She as a geniune down-to-earth candidate – and it’s too bad that people need to bash her for no other reason than hate and fear. If you don’t agree or have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all – Nobody on here should be able to say anything – I would love for people on this post stand up and speak in front of massive crowds and then get raked over the coals by the media etc. And still stay strong and keep a smile on their face. ENOUGH!

In response to KC. Morons such as yourself should be banned from making comments that are an embarrassment to our society. Any person that refers to an innocent infant in such a derogatory manner is the one that is a retarded, cold-hearted jerk. We are all entitled to our individual political beliefs and freedom of speech however you truly crossed the boundaries in your references towards Trig. I certainly hope you never have children – and may the good Lord be with them if you should ever have a handicapped child.
Hopefully one of these days when you look in the mirror you will actually see yourself for what you are!

james, that was all of the lima beans and hamhocks,greens backed up on her……

I JUST LOVE THE MEDIA…THEY LOVE TO TRASH REPUBLICANS WITH “UNNAMED SOURCES.”
I GUESS A REPORTER COULD JUST MAKE SOMETHING UP AND SAY IT WAS FROM AN UNNAMED SOURCE???

I hope if anything comes out of the mess the media has made of this country it will be they learn to presant the facts instead of opinion and name calling. One use to be able to trust the news. Now you even have Charlie Gibbson cracking jokes about Palin. Why? They won. She has been a women of dignity who has taken a-lot of guff based on lies. Alaska is the only state not in a ression. LOOK AT THE FACTS!!!!

these geniuses cant stand it that the baby was not killed before it was born !!!!!! thats what it boils down to!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s ironic to see liberals bash McCain, when they gave Republican voters McCain to begin with. Liberals and independents crossed over in the GOP primaries to support McCain because he was the weakeast of the GOP candidates and he has always had a hostile relationship with conservatives. So McCain’s pick of Palin was a no-brainer.
The hangover is about to kick in for the Obama sheep – there are news reports of people in shock and disbelief, like “what the F did I just do?” moment the morning after the election. Obama is way in over his head and his lemming supporters are going to take an advanced course in socialism.

So how many Bens are posting to this blog? I am the one that said good luck to Sarah. I don’t know who the other one was, and I will not post here again so as not to get me in discussions I did not sign on for. I voted for McCain. He lost. I am not angry and wish Barack Obama good luck with the job when he becomes our next President. Long live the US of A. I and everyone else should be watching and talking to our elected representative. If you talk to them with some intelligence they might even listen.

Sarah Palin will be just fine. I hear Hugh Hefner said he would love to have her in a playboy spread. Let’s be honest, John McCain chose a female running mate hoping to gain more votes. He could have at least selected a competent women. She thought women would look at her as a role model and just flock to her. I guess there were some weak hens that ate up her Alaska feed. Pffft, none of the women I know fell for it. Poor Sarah, you almost feel sorry for her…almOst.

I think people should get off her back and let her live her life now. We all know that she wasn’t go to make a good vp anyway. She is just a normal person she not god and she is not role model for anybody kids to look up to. Just because she was the first woman to be on a ticket doesn’t make her anybody. if her our party turn against her then why are some many people prays her for a good job. Why? What have she done for you to make your life any better? Can any answer did question for me……………………………….
P.S. Common Sense
You might think that she’s lady with class have ever seen her in person when she’s when the camera are not around her. Could really say that if you really knew what she was really like. So I give it 2 week and America will have forgot all about Sarah Palin

Who. Even. Cares.

IMG: Ignorance is bliss isn’t it? She was probably the least corrupt candiate running – and unfortunately you feel that politicians don’t lie or fib? Get real – I’m not sure where you got your source from as far as having to track down the clothes in Alaska – and the fact that you think you know the state of Alaska to make a generalized comment about it being corrupt? Let’s see the history of political corruption and the largest corruption machine in politics comes right out of the city your lovely savior hailed from – CHICAGO! you want to start with Obama?? I prob. could fill up pages with his corrupt past – Palin and her husband ran a business so you think they didn’t make some money? When you are an elected official you also make money – more so than others – doesn’t mean she didn’t work for the people – why was her approval rating to high?? Why did she give back the revenues from the oil company to the people (over 3K per person?) I’m really curious as to how you want to respond to that one! All Obama did was get a shady deal from Rezko – sign off on housing subsidies from other slum lords and now look at Chicago – oh and let’s not forget the multiple times that he raised taxes – Don’t throw stones unless your house is clean.

Meg Stapleton is a known liar here in Alaska, so I would not believe one single word she said, ever. And she’s not a “longtime” aide of Sarah Palin, either.

what in the world is going on? why on earth would someone say that about an innocent child? KC, you are not a true american. our forefathers and our armed services personnel did not sacrifice and die so that you could get on here and insult another human being that way. you have no idea what a great nation you live in or how you take that liberty for granted. you are an insult to human beings everywhere.

The idea of people within the McCain campaign criticising Palin is ridiculous. They chose a VP candidate with no national political experience, and obviously they did not vet her thoroughly. So what do they expect? If she had problems, it’s the McCain campaign’s fault for choosing her.
I’m not a Palin fan, but she doesn’t deserve to be blamed for McCain’s defeat.

Liberals spend all day patting themselves on the back on how tolerant they are.
THE TRUTH IS A LIBERAL IS THE MOST INTOLERANT PERSON YOU WILL EVER MEET!!

Amazed at how many people think Palin will be back….she was a gimmick, that’s all. I may have voted Republican if McCain had a worthy running mate. And for those that think Obama is some kind of socialist/communist, get a life. Quit buying in to the “reaction” words the GOP constantly uses to make their lemmings scurry for cover. Unbelievable ingnorance, we’re not talking black and white in policy for either of these candadates, their differences were grey at best.

Alibi Ike…AlWAYS an excuse for Sour Sarah. In two months she has shown herself to be an egomaniac as well as an idiot.
If the Palin Lovers could be impartial, which they obviously cannot, they would see the dodging of the issues, blame game she is playing, and self-aggrandizing she has done in the couple of months she has had her ’15 minutes.’ One can only hope she goes back to Alaska–although I wouldn’t wish her on ANY State–and stays there. The Wasilla Hillbilies have NOT made a good impression on the rest of the 48 contiguous States. One can only hope she does not im-palin Stevens and take over his Senate seat. But one can put nothing past this self-aggrandizing egomaniac. Who knew such a provincial wannabe could go so far in the Republican party????

she is going to publish a book soon. its called “Palin and simple:why we lost.”

All of you folks responding to KC….Did you feel anything negative about Yahtzee’s comment about Michelle Obama… The person refered to her as a “H o”. I guess that was O.K. by you all…

to PSthomas:
you say palin is the definition of feminism.
last I checked, feminist theory does not make women pay for their own rape kits.
woo, evangelical right! yay rape!

LIBERALS ARE SCARED OF SARAH PALIN!!
I know why liberals do not like her, especially liberal women – she is the definition of feminism. She is a working mother, she believes in God, and she believes that it is murder to abort a baby. What really drives them crazy is to think that she did not abort her son even after finding out he had Downs Syndrome.
My own opinion is that the hate is jealousy. She does, after all, have it all.
The elections over, she is still Governor and mother – for you angry liberals you will only have your anger.

According to Stapleton, Palin DID say that Africa was a country, but it was a simple misstatement. Yet Palin told reporters, “That’s kind of a small, evidently bitter type of person who would anonymously charge something foolish like that, that I perhaps didn’t know an answer to a question. So until I know who is talking about it, I won’t have a comment on false allegations.”
Why doesn’t Palin just admit to a slip of the tongue instead of calling it a false allegation?

perfectly frank…Right on, Brother!
that moved me to tears and summed up quite eloquently what i have felt over these past several weeks. God Bless you, man!

Palin is ignorant of most subjects. That being said:
-> The McCain team are the spineless ones who are now looking to scapegoat someone else.
-> Are they not the ones who introduced her to the American people and insisted she was qualified to be VP (and POTUS, if needed)?
-> Are they now openly admitting to doing NO vetting of her before picking her?
-> Are they now admitting to LYING to the American People about a pick for an important position like VP (or potentially POTUS)
-> Are they now by extension admitting that it was NOT “Country First” afterall?
Regardless, I waste no more breath on this. People, put your energyn instead into making your voice heard and helping shape the new direction at http://www.change.gov – a website already put up by the President and Vice-President elect for exactly that purpose. Let’s move on and forward and close this sad chapter.

I hope she runs in 2012 too! With a whopping 25% or so of respondents saying they think she’d be ready she’d the perfect opponent to help eek out the largest win ever for the dems :)
While I’m not one for angry hate and fear mongering, it is amusing how ignorant some people are. Like smuthrob who thinks fear is a democratic weapon, living under a rock must be nice, last I checked that is *the* GOP weapon.
In addition, smutrob also mentions the low IQ’s of the dems. However, what he forgot is the facts, Obama won the highly educated voted overwhelmingly in most of the states that I checked. More importantly, if you look at the locations where the majority of our most intelligent citizens live, you will notice a trend, almost all of them voted heavily for Obama. IE: NYC, DC, Northern VA, CA, etc… You don’t think there’s a reason for that do you?
I guess he, and others like him forgot to do their research and see that Obama had the support of people like Warren Buffet, The Gates family, The Jobs family, as well as many of the most recent Nobel laureates in economics. Not to mention literally a ridiculously long list of the best and brightest in various fields of study.
Full Disclosure… I’m a Republican. These divisive small minded attacks tear the country apart. Democrats are not all nut jobs, nor are Republicans all war mongering red necks.
I think all of us need to step back, take a deep breath, and most importantly read, learn and listen before we speak.

Can’t we all just get along? It is time to unite this country, including you idiot leftys and dumb rightys. How can our chosen one fulfill our common destiny with all this divisive chatter? President Elect BO said “Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.” Geez, you all!

Why is it either or? You either hate Palin, or love her? Come on, she’s obviously not qualified to be vice-president, but she’s not evil.

WOW do you Democrats get whiplash from trunig to sexist from racist and back t osexist thanks to the Hilliary-Obama gender-race identity political ping pong??? You folks are some pretty bitter pills. And I thought we were the ones clinging to guns and religion… Semms the only religion the DNC has is sexism and racism, and rock solid idelolgical BIGOTRY!!! Let’s cheer for the “Obama brigades!” Let’s see if your hatred helps you out Bush, BUSH!!! One whole day and you’ve already become what you claim to despise. The economy will fall and so will Obama, let’s see what he does for you when your in the unemployment lines… The only “change” that is coming, is coming out of YOUR pockets. Enjoy your slavery, ideological and otherwise… The rest of America will continue, in spite of you.

I see almost of medias had treated unfairly to Palin. You people made up false strories and blamed to the good people. It’s shamed to medias controlled by left wing

I understand she appeals to the right-wing radical evangelicals, but I have a question for americans…*why* do you insist on wishing for someone you identify with so much? Joe sixpack? What’s so great about a chummy uncle president?
What’s wrong with electing the elite? What’s wrong with intellectualism?
Don’t you realise all candidates are very rich and do not represent the middle class?

**stereotyping(sp)

Tom – “the majority of Americans are not useful idiots.’ No, they are not – that is why the majority voted for President-elect Obama. I know it is tough to be in the minority now – but that is where you are. The Republican Party has imploded from the inside out. And many high IQ educated people voted for Obama, not only Democrats. And when did this blog become an English Lit class? Bloggers who critisize others spelling or grammar have nothing substantial to complain about!

You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the utter stupidity out of the diva. I hope a moose stomps on her.

I am insulted by Palin’s referrals to Joe Sixpack.
I only drink 12 packs.
But I am happy that she refers to the ‘common american’ as a drunk.

How about them Phillies?

can a republican explain away “abuse of power” troopergate to me, please?
abuse of power, so soon in her career?

For a definition of Socialism see wikipedia. For an example of socialism in action study the Federal Reserve and the republican party for the last century. The socialism is the same, the benefactors of the system are reversed. When people throw around terms like socialism they should have an idea of what they speak. Sarah Palin in particular had little knowledge of Reality. Creationism is not science. God does not need help from politicians. Carrying a Downs Syndrome child to term is a noble example of compassion, but did her god ordain that or was it hubris. She is not presidential material. She will fade into the dusk of other loser vp candidates or else the republicans will stay mired in their anti-intellectual quagmire.

You libs are so transparent. You think you are sooooooo intelligent. “If the media does not make you they can not destroy you” Your messiah is a media creation. Once the media is hip to his thugocracy it’s over. Palin is loved despite constant ridicule from you alinskyites and the gullible “elite media”.

From a Israeli point of view…I am quite happy. Our region will stabilize without fear and our lives will be closer to the peace process.
All we need is Tzipi Livni to pull a Obama and win in January!

McCain could not control 1 woman’s spending, and he claims he would have controlled the entire government’s spending…
Nice…

C’mon K Passah,
All of the Phillies? I could believe 5 or 6. I think you’re exaggerating.

I’m amazed at how gullible democrats are. Not only did they believe Obama hook line and sinker, but now they actually believe Republican RINO’s who can’t take responsibility for their own stupidity. These are the advisors for John McCain. These RINO Republicans who are angry because they wanted to change the Republican Party and outright failed are at the same time unwilling to speak for themselves. They along with John McCain are the reason for their very own failure, because they wanted to move the Republican party away from Conservatives tried and true political platform. So now they blame the woman, how whiny these so-called advisors are now, and how easy it is to blame the women.
Now considering that Democrats are the most gullible people on the planet – IS proved by the FACT that they would even believe RINO Republicans – What does that tell you – they truly are gullible. It could be said that most people could not understand how the media could be telling them anything but the truth – however, one must remember that the American Media are privately held business organization who can one minute be fair and balance and the next minute behave like the French Revolutions “Fourth Estate.” It is historically proven that the reason for the horrible murders that took place during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution, was a direct result of the outrageous misdeeds and false statements CREATED by the French Newspapers (The Fourth Estate) That being the case when the entire major news media (possible with the exception of FOX – although the interpretation of what “fair and balance” at Fox News is questionable) where could the average Democrat obtain an unbiased daily news from? I doubt if they would automatically begin to listen to Rush Limbaugh.
Notice how over the past few days how the stock market is crashing. Just watch over the next 12 months how Obama will change nothing and cause the American economy to return to Pre World War II level. If you grand parents are still alive they will be able to tell you how 25 per cent of the American people were in soup lines up until the War broke out with Germany and Japan. There is such a disconnect between Democrat hopefulness and Democrat reality. I’ve already seen similar disaster in my lifetime, in other counties such a Ethiopia, Russia, Zimbabwe, the Congo, even Japan. This socialist bastard, who just snookered and was hired by the democrat rationalist as well as Black and Hispanic hopefuls, will cause the entire world to go into a tailspin like we haven’t seen since the Great Depression. Interestingly with the dramatic increase in black voter registration – how moral as well as conservative almost 70 per cent of American Blacks are, for without their help Proposition 8 in California would probably not have passed. Proof that Obama’s “Race” was the principal reason for the historic vote that Black Americans pursued, and that many Blacks are truly conservative in their values despite their membership with the Democrat party.

More liberal hate and intolerance.
It’s a good thing there are some conservatives left or this would be a very angry country.
Long live “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”
___________________________________________________
Question: was it liberals or conservatives who called Obama a “terrorist”, a “muslim”, and a “racist”?
Another question: was it liberals or conservatives who yelled out threats to Obama’s life at McCain and Palin events?
Yet another question: was it liberals or conservatives who accused Obama of having his grandmother killed right before the election in order to garner some sympathy votes? (I saw this accusation made at least a couple dozen times in as many places)
These actions sound pretty darned hateful and intolerant to me.
Or perhaps do you only apply those labels to liberals and give a pass to anyone who is a conservative? I’d hate to think that you would do such a hypocritical thing.

The woman is IGNORANT and STUPID and cannot hide it. It is not a matter of being a republican or a democrat, she cannot function as either one, do not bother.

Palin is damaged goods. The American people rejected her because she’s a scary talking Barbie who spews hateful rhetoric. I seriously don’t understand why there’s admiration for her from conservatives. Are they really a bunch intolerant, willfully ignorant, anti-intellectual baboons? Palin is ill-informed and a joke. (Thank God for Tina Fey. Genius). The problem with this world is there many intelligent people who are full of self-doubt but the stupid people are full of confidence.

Sarah Palin is a women who worked her way through school, is raising a family, and achieved a very admirable postion in government as Governor of Alaska. This should be celebrated just as an African American has finally reached the presidency. In Nebraska the first two black women have been elected to the Unicameral. Regardless of your politics, these accomplishments should be praised. Ethics, respect, responsiblilty and accountability are hard to find anymore. What are you teaching your children?

Our…. that’s right, Our country is in the middle of one of it’s worst crises ever. If we have any hope of recovery, we have to pull together. Sarah Palin inspired many people. Enough said. I personally am not a fan of hers, but I won’t belittle anyone for admiring her.
The biggest problem this country faces is partisanship. We all are the same…we all face the same mess. We all need to join to get together so that we can recover as quickly as possible. Chill out everyone. The quicker we can solve the huge problems our country faces, the sooner we will have time to quarrel about ideologies.

Dear Sarah,
My husband and I are very proud of you and thank you for being “thick skinned”, for standing tall in the face of much UNWARRANTED criticism, for prevailing for what is right, for being a devoted mother and wife, for being a tremendously honest person, and a great Governor of Alaska. You represented the Republican Party with dignity and honor
as V.P. candidate. Senator McCain also praised you. May God continue to bless you as you govern according to His
principles and precepts. In our eyes,
you are a heroine!

Wow! How scared can you people get? Especially Kate Snow and the ABC News. You’re starting right up trying to discredit her because she is such a threat. How low can you go? And some of the bumbling idiots that watch your program on a regular basis are really showing their colors. Sarah Palin puts you all to shame. She has dignity that you can only dream about. Pure jealousy is what it’s all about. I pray for your souls and curse your news network in the name of Jesus! May it crumble.

I’ve now read all of the comments on this thread, and I ask everyone to please quit with the terrible comments. During this campaign, Palin has been trashed, Obama has been trashed, etc., and it just makes all of us look stupid. We can agree to disagree on things without name-calling.

Charlotte – Palin is “a tremendously honest person”??? Quite an Orwellian comment, given the following:
A verbatim quote from the Troopergate report: “For the reasons explained in section IV of this report, I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39/52/110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch ETHICS Act.” (My emphasis)
Palin said, “I’m very, very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing … ANY HINT of ANY KIND of unethical activity there. Very pleased to be cleared of any of that.” (My emphasis)
So up is down, left is right, Obama is really white, Palin is really black, and the Republicans won!

We are hungover from divisive and negative campaigning. Will it take some earth-shattering disaster to make us forget the partisanship and remember that we are all Americans? If we all put as much time and effort towards solving problems that are blind to our ideologies and political affiliations as we put pointlessly arguing, we might just pull this country up by it’s boot straps. I call this arguing pointless and it is. Do any of you think that you will change the other’s opinion? One of the beautiful things about our country is that we can all have our opinions, our religions and our beliefs. No one can throw us in jail for our ideologies. That is one of the things that makes this country the best on earth. Take a lesson from marriage: agree to disagree. Enjoy the freedom afforded by the Constitution. In the end, know that we are all Americans and we are all in trouble right now.

Amazing..I knew that Dems were sore losers when the election don’t go their way but I didn’t realize it’s the same if they win.
Being gracious when you win is as important as when you lose.
McCain and Palin both showed graciousness in defeat. But you can see that some Dems wouldn’t know the meaning of gracious if it hit them in the face.
Palin has shown that she can handle the spotlight even when she was thrust on the national stage with minimal national experience and maximum scrutiny.
If Obama had gotten half the scrutiny and half the spotlight I doubt he would be President-elect now.
Palin is a rising star in Republican politics and she’s gotten there with her own moxie and grit working her way from city council, through mayor and to governor.
Without a fawning press Obama would never have gotten where he is today with his meager political experience and lack of substance.
And for all you catty women who criticised the money spent on campaign attire the ultimate revenge is that Sarah looks good in blue jeans and a hoodie.
She doesn’t need expensive clothes to look good because she is the kind of woman who naturally looks beautiful dressed up or down.

I find it very hard to believe that Palin had no choice and no voice in the matter of her wardrobe or actions. Stapleton is doing the exact same thing the anonymous McCain aides are doing, putting the blame on the other side. She is blaming Palin’s campaign staff. Poor Palin could not say no, she had no choice. If Palin can’t even stand up for herself to her aides, how can she stand up to foreign leaders or it seems, her staff. If she is so smart and experienced and knowledgeable, I don’t believe she would have behaved the way Stapleton described the situations. Now if she is not smart, not experienced, and not knowledgeable, I can see how she could have been too intimidated by her aides. All of this is just too contradicting, will we ever know the truth?

Timetest, it was the CRASH of ’29. Roosevelt really was president during most of the Depression, and he went on radio, though not TV, of course, quite a lot to address the people.
This person is a longtime aid of Palin, so I have my doubts about her opinion. If Palin had not shown herself to be so stupid, then the public would not have believed the continent smear, whether it was true or not.
She scares a lot of us, but not for the reasons you all think. Time will not be kind to her career.
I’m not sure it is appropriate to label a DS child as retarded. I was worried though when we all saw the Palins dragging Trig around everywhere, I never saw the baby move. I was concerned that the kid was doped up, or that more was wrong with him than DS.

Patti:
I think you need to clean up the mess in your own state before you impugn what is going on in Alaska.
Using state computers to divulge private information about Joe the Plumber because he confronted “The One”, Acorn’s admitted fraudulent registrations flooding the state’s voter rolls with felons and ineligbles, and a federal judge who rules the homeless can register a park bench as a domicile.
Ohio’s ready for some corruption cleaning of it’s own.
Gov. Palin has taken on the good ol’ boys in Alaska before (and that includes Stevens). He’ll be out and Gov. Palin will be able to pick his successor.
All before Ohio has a chance or an inclination to clean up their own mess is my prediction.
I hope Joe sues your state officials and wins a big settlement too!

Criticism of Sarah Palin by anonymous staffers is plain and simple, the result of her Pro-Life stand. The fact that she is a woman was inconsequential to people such as Gloria Steinem, the arch-feminist. How hypocritical to maliciously demean the first female on a national ticket because of her conservative values.
Originally a “feminist” mantra,
“Choice” has sadly become a misguided priority issue for women, ironically ahead of national security. What good is “Choice” if this country is obliterated from the face of the earth? Don’t they get it? Palin was one formidable candidate with executive experience in government far beyond that of the top of the Democrat ticket. She lives what she believes, as evidenced by the birth of her son with Downs Syndrome. She is a real person with real values and Alaska is beyond fortunate to have her. No rhetoric, nothing plastic here, she is the real thing. Just what Washington needs.
For the first time in my 65 year lifetime, an average middle class American was a candidate. The cost of her clothes is rubbish. Who from the “middle class” would have a suitable wardrobe to campaign 24/7? More ink and talk time has been spent on these damn clothes than on commentary and investigation on the source of the six hundred million in donations to Obama’s campaign, much of which has been generated from foreign souces, non-citizens and amounts over the threshold in violation of federal election law. Why not compare the cost of her clothes to that of the infamous ‘columns?’ Palin and her family were personally ridiculed by the media and Obama supporters from the get-go. Was she too intimidating to the other side? Was she too attractive? Talk about temper tantrums, I had them
every time I read the unfairly opinionated, biased articles on the front pages of the New York Times, Chicago Tribue. Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy, her glasses and hair, her accent, Caribou Barbie, troopergate, moose meat, etc. Just how petty to even put this “news” in print or on the air.
“Anonymous” opinions are generated by people who are jealous or feeling guilty for not doing their jobs, probably the later. Who raised these people? In the midst of an economic collapse, the transition in D.C., this after-the-fact, know-it-all commentary serves no purpose and is insulting to the campaign which paid these staffers for many months. There is no honor here and reflects disrespect for Sen McCain, as well.
By the way, I lobbied for “Choice” in my state capitol 20 years ago. Gratefully, I’ve never been a one issue
thinker and I won’t compromise now.

I have one thing to say,You reep what you sow.You all elected a socialist because you wanted more money,well now you get to see why Ben Franklin said that would destroy this country.I had held hopes that people were not stupid enough to be taken in by the con artist but I was wrong.You all fell for it hook,line and sinker.I want all of you to remember how proud you have said you are.How right you said it was and how you said it would be good to have an african american president(btw news flash,his ancestry is Middle Eastern).But I want you to remember all these things.Because when he starts revoking rights I want you to see what your greed got this country.And when you finally see just what kind of tyrant you voted in I want you to remember how much you argued for him.How you told us we were wrong.And when the infanticide starts you remember you voted for the man who did it.You will be responsible for themen and women who die running out of Iraq,you will be responsible for the babies who are killed because they would be an inconvience,you will be responsible for every bad thing that happens to this country because of him.I will not post again until 2010.Hopefully by then you all have come to your senses.But probably not,once a blind lemming always a blind lemming.Don’t like me because I said this?Get in line.Anyone who says I’m rascist for not worshipping him can kiss my a–.I already have a God,I don’t need the medias.
Obama for Latrine Cleaner ’08 Signing of until 2010.Out

I hope Obama enjoys governing/protecting ALL 57 states
READ ALL THE WAY TO BOTTOM:
“Regarding another stinging criticism, Stapleton claims that the Fox News report Thursday — that quoted unnamed sources inside the now defunct McCain campaign, saying Palin didn’t know Africa is a continent — was taken out of context.
Stapleton says that during a briefing session, someone asked Palin to explain the McCain-Palin stance on an issue, and as she was responding, “in the middle, she said, ‘country of Africa’ and somebody instantly wrote it down, and said, ‘Oh, my God, she thinks it’s a country.’”
But Stapleton insists, “She knows it’s a continent. It was just a human mistake, just like Obama saying 57 states. I don’t think anyone ever doubted that Obama knows there are 50 states.”
I think she was INTERRUPTED- MID SENTENCE when she answered that…
(is OBAMA including Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the virgin Islands as US States? if so —-I think hs is still a few territories short)
I heard him state this on either the 1st or 2nd debate….

wow, so many still backing the ice queen?
Africa is not the only lacking she has… uh, in her (now) infamous call with the “President” of France, she also called Belgium a country that need to be watched… huh? All they do is make very good chocolates and they’re neutral for heaven’s sake. She didn’t recognize the wrong name was used for the Prime Minister of Canada… you know, that country she flies over all the time… the one that shares a border and that she’s been trying to put a pipe line through… I’m sorry, but if she doesn’t know the name of the Prime Minister of Canada, I totally believe that she thought Africa was a country.
– on the clothes, you all do realize that was a total slap in the face to McCain and all he stands for, RIGHT? McCain is the one who got screwed the worst by Palin, she completely spit in his face on several key issues that he has a long history on. No one would have given a fying fig about her clothes if she’d have paid for them herself. They’re a big deal because it was donor money used to buy them and it was a pretty fine line they drew to keep it from being flat out illegal. AND now the RNC has to fly to AK to inventory and get them back? HUH? Why weren’t they left with the campaign to start with. Now they’re spending even more money to try to find and retrieve them. That’s classy!
– And, although I’m a pro-life person, I don’t think being pro-life gives you a pass on every other aspect of being a Christian. How many times does she get to lie and not get called on it? Why didn’t she call for Thompson to step down immediately? … oh, that’s right, it’s okay he lied about $250k because if he wins, she’s going to try to slide her two-faced tuckus into a senate seat, so she NEEDS him to win so she can get out of AK now that they’re oil based economy is in the tank like the rest of the US.
– How come she wasn’t called when she said that bombing abortion clinics is okay and “not what I’d call terrorists”… huh? People have been killed and permanently maimed by those bombs… the law against it specifically cites it as “domestic terrorism”… but to her, it’s okay? And she’s jumping on Ayers from nearly 40 years ago!
Guess what folks, people didn’t rip on her because she was a female, they ripped on her because she was the combination of world-class stupid on national issues and a bald faced liar.
I say we all support their AIS party (you know the one Todd belonged to until 2002 and the she complemented as “doing a great job” in May 2008) and get AK to vote themselves right out of the US. Then see how much infrastructure money they get from Russia and how much they like it when their oil reserves are nationalized. As far as I’m concerned, AK should not get a single cent of that “pork money” that Palin suddenly took a dislike to. Then see where they are in a year or two now that oil prices are down.
She screwed McCain in every way possible. I hope she has to pay for that for a VERY LONG TIME. He did not deserve her crap.

Written above:
“Sarah would not have intentionally done anything to harm him or this country. Megan Stapleton’s accounts sound exactly like what Sarah would have encountered in that larger arena — being thrust into unfamiliar territory, given illegal and inaccurate direction, then being blamed for it. ”
YUP that’s classic Palin, blame someone else. You don’t see McCain doing that, even though she torepedoed him… She’s too self centered to be a team player and I’m just waiting for the book to come out… You’ve got one thing right… she a manipulative and ambition b**** who’s left a string of prior supporters on the curb in her ambition.
I say AK should vote itself out of the US and then we’ll be done with her and that kind.

I’m so glad Sarah’s back-Back in the USA-United State of Alaska!
Fox News used to love her, and now they don’t. What did it take for Fox to fall out of love? Just cause they say the source is anonymous doesn’t mean they don’t know who said it, they just are not telling.
By not telling, they will get more people to tell more good stuff. Sure sounds like she did not endear herself to her staff or inspire their loyalty.

“I love Sarah Palin, that woman will be back and there is nothing anyone on the left can do about it. Did you see the throngs of people at her stops. John McCain would not have come close the number of votes he got if he had not picked Gov. Palin.”
Please bring her back by all means so Obama can win by a landslide in 2010!!!

———————

Isn’t that a sad commentary about McCain and his stance on the issues.. he had to resort to picking Palin in order to gain votes. If he had run on a more realistic platform and picked a running mate that would have been the best choice for America, he might have had a chance. Instead, he pandered to his ‘base’ and tried every dirty trick in the book to try and persuade people to vote for him. That is not Country first, that is win at all costs first.
You die hard party line voters better be thankful that the intelligent people saved you this time.

Period wrote, “that damn idiot blobama thinks there’s 57 states.”
That was a slip of the tongue.
Does Obama think the prime minister of Canada is Stef Carse?
Does Obama think Quebec has a prime minister and that his name is Richard Z. Sirois?
Does Obama think the French equivalent of Joe the Plumber is Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit?
Sarah Palin did.

If Obama had lost you better believe that Axelrod and the others would be leaking BS (actually, they probably wouldn’t have to make anything up) because they want to work other campaigns and get PAID.
At least the master sniveler Scott McClellan didn’t hide as an ‘anonymous source’.
I wonder how long it will be before out of work Obama campaigners begin writing their exposes? (accent mark over the ‘e’).

Come guys, the election is over. Obama won, McCann lost both fought a good fight. Let’s not resort to name calling blaming one another and all that stuff. Mrs. Palin did her thing,I think she was not ready for this.I’m sure she’ll be back. Now it is time time for us to being a new and work together to get this country back on top. We can move on pass this….Can’t we???

Sarah is very intelligent. If mistakes made are the standard for Presidency, then Obama and Biden should go back to kindergarten. Sarah was the best of the bunch out there and far better that Barack Hussien Obama. No comparison!

Fires Back? Look out-this “Aide” could be firing from a small plane or helicopter-like Palin does when she targets innocent beasts!

finally the rest of the world can stop hating you all. to listen to all of your pathetic arguing and bickering as evidenced here only goes to show how many truly stupid people there are in your backward country. lets hope it really does change there. (unlikely)

There is no honor amoungst thieves or lost campaigns.

I don’t think it’s the Obama people who are trying to hang Palin.

“TYhe lady just doesn’t have any smarts about anytning”
Like spelling? Rose, those in glass houses should not throw stones…
Leadership is not all about education.
Us “Cons” that are so stupid (allen osuno) know one thing. You will be very disappointed when you realize that the economic crisis was caused by Democrats just as much,if not more, than by Republicans. It won’t get much better under a president obama. Bush was irresponsible and gave us a bloated government and huge debt. I didn’t see either candidate address spending as a problem. I have to live with a budget and every time I spend money there is something else I know I have to wait to buy. I can’t go back to my boss and the end of the year and demand a raise because I spent too much… the gov’t should be the same way.

“Those guys are fear mongers in contrast to the Obama “movement” which is HOPE based.” – Robin
Robin, I learned one thing in the Army that I carry with me to this day. “Hope is not a method!” “Hope” doesn’t mean your soldiers are all trained. “Hope” doesn’t make sure they all have the right equipment. “Hope” doesn’t help your convoy leave on time. YOU do. Specific actions do.
We have completely different views of what makes this country great. Mine happen to be in line with Thomas Jefferson’s view of this country/ government/ liberty/ people so eloquently written in the Declaration of Independence and his many letters/manuscripts. You have a right to believe that the government is the answer to all our problems. I have a right to believe I am the answer to MY problems and I don’t want the government in my way or reaching in my wallet. That is why the founding fathers wrote that little thing called the 1st Amendment (so important in their minds it came first, right before second I might add, in the Bill of Rights). But today, only liberals shout down conservative speakers on college campuses. Only liberals throw bricks through windows at their oppositions political conventions. Only liberals flood radio stations with threats and “outrage” when conservative speakers critical of their candidate are scheduled. Only liberals send their lawyers and threaten prosecution if someone speaks ill of their candidate. (With the exception of the idiotic triad of Hannity/Rush/OReily) most conservative speakers, especially Dennis Prager and Glenn Beck, want an open ideological debate on the issues. Only liberals seem to want to silence viewpoints they disagree with. I say this as a Former Democrat, now independent conservative, who’s party showed me how they deal with dissenting opinions “D.Kos” style…

First of all we had an election. The American people have spoken, the results are clear. Our new leader is President-Elect Barack Obama. I supported him, I am very pleased. He won because he never lost sight of the issues he will have to deal with, mainly our economy. Govoner Palin has to answer to the RNC and the people of Alaska. We all need to leave her be and continue to support our new President. When I turn on the news I want to hear what he is doing to get a cabinet together and what direction he is taken our country in. That is more important than Sarah Palin. ENOUGH ALREADY. The election is over and we no longer have to convince people about her abilities or lack of.

She did speak well most of the time and when you look as wonderful as her, it does not matter if you make a few mistakes when you speak, she is still beautiful. If any one thinks she and her husband will donate the wonderful new clothes think again, I know I would not. She looks good in them and she earn them from all the work she did, she should keep them all and wear them proud.

If Palin wants a chance at winning in 2012, she’s going to have to cut back on the negativity that permeated her message in this campaign. When she was first selected, she was like a breath of fresh air to the conservative base. But for the last month of the campaign, her message degenerated from one of hope to one of fear and hate mongering. Going negative may get you a short-term boost in the polls, but the increasingly negative tone of the McCain-Palin campaign in its closing days turned off a lot of people. If Palin can remake her image as someone willing to reach out and listen to all Americans, and not just her conservative base, then she may have a chance.

And one other thing — you take someone like Palin who is unknown to the American people and put her in the spotlight in a campaign the media is already trying to defeat. From day one they did everything they could to destroy her. It amazes me that so many people actually drank the kool-aid and bought into it. Someone who was a known quantity might have stood up to the attacks a little better but anyone McCain picked would have been subjected to the same attacks and probably would not have come out of it any better than Palin did. Does the media really have that much control over what we think? Apparently so.

So Sarah Palin can stand up to Governors, Big Oil, Enviro-terrorists and be the maverick to her own Party, but she can’t stand up to “Wardrobe?” She really can’t say “it’s just wrong and I won’t do it?” Gee, what a goshdarn shame we didn’t pick her for vice-president.
Her tarmack speech as she deplaned on Alaskan soil reminded me of the speech Richard Nixon gave after his defeat for the gubernatorial slot in California. I guess the media won’t have Sarah to kick around anymore.

While Palin is not the most intelligent of vp choices but she was dead before she ever hit the ground. The media did the same thing to the mccain/palin as they did to Hillary. I voted for Hillary in the primaries in Wisconsin, then reluctantly for Obama in the general. As an African American female it became clear to me what the media did. Hillary became cast as an evil Monster(thats what one of Obama’s staff called her)an old white lady trying to keep the black man down. Mccain/palin became the evil people trying to stop history. I wonder when people will really look into their hearts and see what role the media played. In any Obama is gonna be president I hope he keeps his promises, now that this color line has been shattered when will us women truly over come given history it might take another 50 years.

Blah, Blah, Blah, is that all you are worried about is Palin’s clothes? Lets compare apples to apples, Palin’s clothes cost $150,000.00. I would like to hear someone tell me how much the democratic party spent on Obama’a “colums” from the convention. They say the clothes will be auctioned, money will go to charity. What did they do with the colums??? What happened to the replica of the colisium or whatever you would call it? Tell me that at least $150,000.00 wasn’t spent on all of that? WHERE WAS THE MEDIA COVERAGE ON OBAMA’S EXPENSES? WHERE ARE ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT THE MONEY THAT WAS WASTED ON THINGS LIKE THAT FOR THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN? HOW MUCH MONEY WAS SPENT ON THE DRESS HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN WORE THE NIGHT HE GAVE HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEACH? Maybe instead of nit-picking on Palin, you should all look at what is coming to Washington…..advisors that were in investment banking??? Yep, thats who I am excited to see being key advisors. Your president elect has now come out and already said that he cannot do it in one term??? Yep, I see change coming……I am a small business owner and the change I see is I will be looking for a new job….I cannot afford higher taxes, and as much as I would like, I cannot afford to provide all of my employees with healthcare. I will have to probably go out of business and add to his unemployment ratings….but, since we are spreading the wealth around, maybe I will now be able to qualify for welfare……..

Is Stapleton saying that it was the RNC that actually did the wardrobe shopping? And they purchased silk boxer shorts for Todd? Were they expecting him to drop his pants on stage at the rallies?

To WWW
You are stating that Palin couldn’t even name a single newpaper or magazine, and that without a teleprompter she just spouted gibberish? Welllllll…..what about Biden’s interview with the news channel in Florida? When he was finally asked questions that some of us would have liked answered didn’t he ask the interviewer “Are these real questions” and then went on to spout gibberish himself?

Leadership is not all about education.
** No but when you are thinking of leading a country like the USA, education is a huge part of that. we already elected a President who wasn’t too bright (President Bush) and look at the side effects!

I love Sarah Palin, that woman will be back and there is sadly nothing anyone can do about it.
She’s even capable of running NASA and the space program, because she can see space from Alaska.
She’s a comedy writer’s dream cone true.

One other thing before I have to go, Yes, Palin bombed some interviews, but, when were these kind of questions put to Obama….just because you are a woman does not mean you buy or subscribe to magazines and national newspapers….some of us moms are busy being involved with our jobs, and our families…if Palin would have campaigned in her own normal wardrobe then everyone would have been screaming about how poorly she was dressed. No, I may not agree with everything the McCain campaign did, but, I did not agree with the media on Obama either. When Obama was doing an interview there was hugs and kisses going on….when McCain or Palin gave interviews the hostility that came off of the interviewers was unreal….that was an opinion of someone who had not made the decision as to who to vote for yet…my vote was based on going through numbers with my accountant with the Obama plan. You all will reap what you sow…and I do not want to hear one Obama supporter crying….Bush has his faults, but, he does not do it on his own. The majority of the house and senate was democratic wasn’t it??? Do you honestly think the president decides I want to reform social security and writes a bill/law whatever and passes it? Hellllooooo…..nobody is home.

You shouldn’t fib, Palin 2012.
The Florida interviewer asked Biden if Obama was a Marxist because he wanted to spread the wealth around. That’s why Biden asked if it was a real question. And he didn’t spout gibberish. He was right on target, speaking in real English.
BIDEN: He is not spreading the wealth around. He’s talking about giving the middle class an opportunity to get back the tax breaks they used to have.
INTERVIEWER: What do you say to the people who are concerned that Barack Obama will want to turn America into a Socialist country much like Sweden?
BIDEN: I don’t know anybody who thinks that, except the far right-wing of the Republican Party.

And these were the people who were supposed to reform Washington and cut wasteful government spending?

Perhaps this result signals a end to the nasty bitter and divisive campaign tactics of those who seek to seperate us as Americans just to get elected. The “Real America” includes all of us (Sorry Sarah Palin) and those who foster hate (Sorry Sarah Palin) against our fellow Americans by questioning their patriotism are not particularly patriotic themselves. Tho shall not judge, its your Bible (Sorry Sarah Palin) I find it amazing that those who subscribe to it dont follow most of it. – A resident of Northern Virginia, a Native Virginian, who found the McCain/Palin campaign utterly vile.

The Palin fans are remarkable. She is a woman without substance. She is what she says she isn’t. Yet through your blind adoration you fail to see it. WOW.
The media didn’t destroy Palin, Palin destroyed Palin. The media didn’t bait her, she threw out nonsense. SHE WAS and STILL is not ready for the national scene.
The proof that the McCain camp was unhappy with her was clearly visible on stage during McCain’s concession speech. The barely touched her when they hugged and didn’t even look at Todd. When they walked off stage, few if anyone looked comfortable touching the Palins.
Read the Newsweek article about the campaigns. You’ll see how Palin was anything but an empty suit. An American Idol runner up has more credentials based on selection. Obama’s team ran background checks, etc., to vet their VP choice. McCain used Wikipedia.
Take a hard look back and try not to be as biased as you are now about her selection. You don’t go through 4 colleges to get an undergraduate degree in journalism and think you’re qualified for a high office. You don’t spend your days on the campaign trail throwing out hate filled rhetoric about your opponent and then try to claim you’re non-partisan. You don’t advocate reform when you appoint friends and donors to key jobs in the state with little if any qualifications. You don’t bend the bidding rules on a contract then claim you’re different. You don’t distribute a couple thousand dollars of oil company taxes to everyone in Alaska then claim you hate socialism.
I’m afraid this election is also the end for Palin. She was a fad. The Britney Spears of politics. The one hit wonder of the GOP. She could not survive the nomination campaign, let alone a presidential campaign.
Enjoy your fond memories of Palin. After awhile, they will fade away and you’ll move on to the next fad. Enjoy it.

Stop calling Sarah Palin stupid. It’s childish and unrealistic.
Just look at how well she managed Alaska, lowered income taxes and property taxes, required any large purchases to be a ballot initiative.
She took on members of her own party because of corruption and outed them. You call that stupid. I call that leadership and integrity. When did Obama ever criticize pelosi or franks or the clintons for their obvious corruption.
Biden can make up lies about the french driving the palestinians out of lebanon in front of 78 million people in the debate and the press gives him a free pass. That is called ridiculous.
Admit it, the reason some people hate Palin so much is because she is a beautiful, smart REPUBLICAN conservative woman who has integrity. That is not the image liberals want as a role model for women. They want a corrupt, shark, boyish woman like Hillary Clinton.
If Sarah started to dress like a boy, live her life like a hypocrite, lie on a regular basis, get a free pass from the press, encourage socialism and government controlled media, say there are “57″ states, be sympathetic to terrorists, you might just like her.
Or maybe if she promised to take money from hard working individuals and give it to others who refuse to work and think society owes them something, you might just like her.

Sarah Palin is a gem, a true light in the darkness of liberalism. The hypocracy of liberals, democrats is beyond comprehension. The party is truely morally bankrupt.

First poster:
Palin probably misspoke, but you on the other hand are probably ignorant enough to have not known that Africa was a continent.

I hope Meg Stapleton becomes the White House press secretary in Palin 2012.

Enough of these these backbiting aides who are fault for losing the election.
Sarah Palin is the reason why McCain did as well as he did. He ran a poor campaign,
& refused to go after Obama’s many character flaws.
There’s nothing worse than someone who is back stabbing others. Get the broom out & sweep those aides out of the party….

If we still have to nit pick about the clothes, can someone give us a breakdown of the $650 Mill. that put Barry in the White House ??

A lot of comments about how the Democrats won and the Republicans lost but I am afraid that shortly it will become apparent that we all lost. Taxes, Federal civilian police force, all dissenting voices silenced, Free ride that many are anticipating is not likely to happen. We are most likely headed for a Socialist police state.
Just remember Obama supporters that you had a choice.

TO Joe
You write a good paragraph, but when you make an accusation follow it up with facts and site where you have gotten them You spout that Sarah throws out nonsense, but then you don’t say what the noinsense is and where you heard it. This is common with all you people who watch ABC/CBS/CNN/MSMBC and other liberal sites.And keep in mind there are always two or more sides to a story. Broaden your mind and go to some other sites that are not totally bised liberals. Learn the truth and get your head out of the deep mire. You can suffocate what little reasoning power you may have left.

Wow, promise people “something for nothing” and they will fall for it all the time. After Obamination totally wrecks the USA, you better be prepared to earn every cent you can get- no more “hand-outs”- everyone will be poor!

Meg Whitman retained during the campaign Steve Schmidt for her political advisory team. I believe that these unnamed sources are probably coming from Meg Whitmans bitterness of not getting enough of a shot in the limelight, possible jealousy she was turned over for being VP. Think about it, Meg Whitman, McCains 1 of 3 people whose advice he could not do without. Someone who exemplies leadership of business (bawk: 1.3 million American sellers making a living from selling on ebay). who has int’l experience, etc. You think she would just stand by and do nothing? Obviously you people in politics have never been on the short end of the ebay stick to see that this is a similar type of tactic that ebays top heavy former Bain & Company management teams are well know to do. Rewriting their own history, making others do their dirty work for them. All this stuff. These unnamed sources? PLEASE. You expect any of us to believe that a NEIMAN MARCUS doesn’t have video surveillance cameras? You must not be women or shoppers to think that if she’s doing what they are saying she is… where’s the VIDEO. Greedbay, Meg Whitman… yeah they’re the ones doing it I bet. And why? Because Meg is sucking up to California and suddenly has her photo taken looking so authoritative behind Arnold Schwarzenagger yesterday

Sarah Palin is an extremely dangerous radical right zealot with a “simpleton” image a la Bush. On top of that, she was convicted by a bipartisan committee of abuse of power. Moreover, when she does terrible facing the media, it’s never her fault — it’s always “the gotcha media,” “not asking the questions the american people want to hear,” etc. Rumors about McCain-Palin tensions only add to why we should be vigilant about her – she believes she is always right and ready, when she’s not.
If it truly was “country first” for her, she would’ve waited until 2012, to know more about foreign policy and politics.

I can name the dumbest VP candidate in “three words” … JOE BIDEN.
Sarah in 2012!!!!!

Sara Palin was a poor representation of hard working women in this country. If she is the best that the Republican Party can bring to the front they will never get back to the White House and if she was the best decision that John McCain could make, I am glad he lost.
Sara had her 30 seconds of fame…she will never be back…once a loser always a loser.
Let’s get behind our new president. Let’s pray for him and give him a chance.

9 weeks Sarah campaigned, and she did a great job….Obama was on the road and away from his desk in DC, for 2 yrs.!
I’ve also noticed, those that support Obama, are very rude & crude, and have bashed Gov Palin, from her shoes to her hair, in the most vile way.
Oh ye enlighted ones, and you too media, you have demeaned a good woman, all because some of you think you are better than she is, because you live in NY city or LA, or prance around D.C.
Everyone of you should be ashamed, even though I know being ashamed is a trait now missing from our society.

Palin was a disaster which was averted by the occurrence of an even greater disaster in the economy.
The stresses of the presidency would have disabled McCain in short order. Judging by his theatrics in September, he would have had a blustering, apoplectic approach to problems.
The relentless succession of crises to come would have worn the old man down to the point that he would have to train Palin to govern. Then the fiasco would have begun in earnest.

Strange how it was un-named sources that attacked her during the campaign and now it is un-named sources again. Seems like they all cowards and have a lot to hide. For that reason alone their testimony is garbage and they are cowards.

please accept the facts as they are, the whole country won with this election, around 66% turnout is excellent, the next step is to work together as one nation accepting that everyone is different and that not everybody thinks as we do, in other words, TOLERANCE. god bless america

MNPatriot, have you read today’s Washington Post article claiming that silk boxer shorts were purchased for Todd Palin? This seems at odds with Stapleton’s statement that Palin was simply presented with her wardrobe. Unless, as I said earlier, they expected Todd to drop his pants at the rallies.

It doesn’t surprise me that McCain and/or his staff wants to dump on Sarah Palin and blame her and the conservative’s right after the election. Hero status aside, he was and always has been a middle of the road Rhino, a bitter old Reagan coat rider, and he has a huge rap sheet to show it. I am sure McCain is even now planning another liberal democrat bill that he can attach his name to as coauthor.
I voted for McCain, as a lesser evil, and I would have voted for McCain with or without Palin. After McCain brought his little token conservative woman on board I was even more for McCain/Palin and in truth I was more for Palin/McCain. This woman has more integrity than any politician around and liberal Washington and the media in general are scared to death of her.
Palin/? 2012

Finding number one in the Branchflower report stated “…I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act.”
Palin’s response:
“Well, I’m very very pleased to be cleared of any legal wrongdoing, any hint of any kind of unethical activity there. Very pleased to be cleared of any of that.”
This is a woman to be admired for her honesty and integrity??

ObamaBots will be very happy when they find out they voted for an inposter. Mr.B is not even a US Citizen. Some of the money you gave him will wind up going to his cousin in Kenya. In case you didn’t know his cousin is a radical Muslim named Odinga – the one that had his people burn churches & hack people to death. You don’t believe me. You morons have computers educate yourself. Thanks for turning over the country to a Socialist. The Weather Underground will love you.

My God! When you actually listen to this woman talk it is mind boggling.
To think that she could have become president is terrifying. The media is bad, Sarah good, media lies, Sarah true.
The media refuses to set the record straight and this is what she knows that she knows she knows?

Alaska equals no debt equals Palin
NJ equals gross debt equals Corizinne
Obama is actually considering Corizinne for a position?
Who should go to Washington? Who should Obama be looking at to right the wrongs which he preached about for almost a year? It is never about what they SAY but about “THE RECORD” and who they surround themselves with and what they actually accomplish. Lets see where we are in 1 year.

The young people who voted for Obama:
you’ll get what you deserve. Expect to be paid for your duties with a draft … hahahahaha just like I predicted. It hasn’t been even a few days but your cult leader Hussein is already planning a draft for you. Enjoy the benefits of Socialism:
“Obama’s chief of staff choice favors compulsory universal service.
Rep. Rahm Emanuel wants to force people 18 to 25 to labor for the government.
Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, President-Elect Barack Obama’s choice for chief of staff in his incoming administration, is co-author of a book, The Plan: Big Ideas for America, that calls for, among other things, compulsory service for all Americans ages 18 to 25. The following excerpt is from pages 61-62 of the 2006 book:
It’s time for a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us. We propose universal civilian service for every young American. Under this plan, All Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service. …
Here’s how it would work. Young people will know that between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service. They’ll be asked to report for three months of basic civil defense training in their state or community, where they will learn what to do in the event of biochemical, nuclear or conventional attack; how to assist others in an evacuation; how to respond when a levee breaks or we’re hit by a natural disaster. These young people will be available to address their communities’ most pressing needs.
Emanuel and co-author Bruce Reed insist “this is not a draft,” but go on to write of young men and women, “the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service.” They also warn, “[s]ome Republicans will squeal about individual freedom,” ruling out any likelihood that they would let people opt out of universal citizen service.
As chief of staff, Emanuel will not be in a position to directly introduce public policy, but his enthusiasm for compulsory service, combined with Barack Obama’s own plan to require high school students to perform 50 hours of government-approved service, suggest an unfortunate direction for the new administration.”

Rudy wrote, “John Kerry got 88% of the black vote in 2004. He’s a white man.
Al Gore got 92% in 2000. He’s a white man. Bill Clinton got 83% in 1992 and 84% in 1996. He’s a white man. Michael Dukakis got 89% in 1988. He’s a white man. Walter Mondale got 91% in 1992. He’s a white man. Jimmy Carter got 82% in 1976 and 1980. He’s a white man.”
Hillary Clinton got only 8% of the black vote in 2008, and she is a white woman. Blacks voted for a black president when they had a chance = racism.

Joe wrote, “Hillary Clinton got only 8% of the black vote in 2008, and she is a white woman. Blacks voted for a black president when they had a chance = racism.”
When Jessie Jackson first ran for president, he got 77% of the black vote. 95% of white votes went to a white candidate.
Using Joe’s logic, American whites were true racists.

She is just stupid.
And everyone can see that, when she is not making speeches, but just talk .
Very stupid!
It is amazing, what people in alaska thought picking her?
There has never been so stupid person on the candidate’s list.
What aid could explain?
She is just STUPID.

I don’t care about the clothes and I have to think that Palin does know Africa is a continent. But she still presented herself as an empty vessel with no originality of thought.
Maybe there is more under that public presentation, but what’s most troubling is how a part of one of our major parties seemed to prefer that presentation – they seem to want an empty vessel. For that, and for the possibility this part of the GOP could at some point in the future again take over American politics, we all ought to be a little concerned.

Seems to me the Obama camp is continuing to do exactly what it did so masterfully through this election season. They tried to stake claim to the high ground and stay above the fray yet had their minions deluging everything behind the scenes with fabrications, inuendo and lies. Remember how the Obama camp was the FIRST to throw down the race card and then tried to play it every single time an issue about Mr Obama was brought up. The MSM bought it hook, line and sinker. They largely refused to question anything about Obama, probably to avoid the racist tag. Then the day after the election, all of a sudden Tom Brokaw and others hasd a stroke of genius and started asking the question Who is Barack Obama? A little late there folks. THe point being, the Obama camp is terrified of a run by Palin in 2012 and will continue hammering away at her over the next four years. The smart thing for Palin to do is sit back and let them create their own failure. They will get viusious enough over the next couple years that it will really open the eyes of a lot of people at just how sexist the democratic party is. She can take all of these attacks, gather the irrefutable evidence to quash the attacks and file it away. When she announces her bid to run, launch her very own website denouncing and refuting every single attack that has been leveled against her. Then play by the Obama play book. Tell every9one that they must notice she is different from other presidential candidates, you don’t see women on our currendcy, they will try to discredit her by sexist attacks. That will set the stage, much as Obama did, for everyone to walk on egg shells when dealing with her as they will be afraid of being labeled sexist.

The machine has protected my rights to rage against it. Pailin lost it for us no doubt. The very freedoms the military and my fore fathers have given me provides me the mechanism to bitch about it like it matters.

Rose, oh Rose! What about the ‘Recently proud American’ that now will occupy the WH?

I can’t believe the vitriolic rhetoric STILL being spouted by the extreme right. They truly do not grasp the idea that it is their open hatred, bigotry, and complete lack of respect for other’s ideals and morals that has destroyed the Republican party.
McCain lost because he chose an extreme “right winger” as a running mate, pandered to the conservatives, and forgot that it is the swing votes in the middle that really win elections.
Pandering to “the conservative base” lost Republicans control of congress two years ago and the presidency this year. Now this narrow minded minority thinks that if the RNC swings even farther right it will help??

After months of following the primaries & the elections I am going to sign off & write a book (not on the elections), but a last comment before I leave – from what I have seen and read over these many months I would have thought that anyone not being able to quote titles of magazines and newspapers should immediately be recognised as someone of great discernment and probably of a superior intellect.
