The Note: Palin Helps McCain ‘Change’ Message

Let’s get this out in the national news:
http://www.huliq.com/1/68376/alaska-women-reject-palin-rally
1,500 Women against Palin in Anchorage rally. More women showed up for an anti-Palin rally in Alaska than the number of people who showed up for her own rally. She does not have the great support in Alaska that we have been told. Watch the video. See why.

To a large extent America’s future propesperity and security will depend on international, global developments.
Sarah Alaska Palin hardly knows the meaning of internationalism; she never visited other countries other than two where she only met with… Americans.
The difference between Obama and McCain might come down to something beyond ideology—temperament.
McCain is a pessimist about the world, seeing it as a dark, dangerous place where, without the constant and vigorous application of American force, evil will triumph.
Obama sees a world that is in many ways going our way. As nations develop, they become more modern and enmeshed in the international economic and political system.
To Obama, countries like Iran and North Korea are holdouts against the tide of history. America’s job is to push these progressive forces forward, using soft power more than hard, and to try to get the world’s major powers to solve the world’s major problems.
Obama’s internationalism will strengthen America in the 21st century, where McCain’s xenophobia will marginalize America in a century in which China, India, Brazil and other countries will steadily rise as super powers. In that context, McCain would lead America to a rapid decline in economic power and a total decline in national stability and prosperity.

Keep the Palin-bashing going.
You Dems just don’t get it. You’re shooting yourselves in the foot.

The idea that McCain and Palin represent change is laughable. McCain’s campaign has been staffed by lobbyists, and Palin is the mayor of earmarks. Is this all they have? They can’t win on the issues. Obama/Biden represent change – middle class tax cuts, green jobs, new energy sources, healthcare for everyone…that’s real change.

Bush’s Economic Policy, “The chickens are coming home to roost”. The Economy is starting to spiral out of control, let’s see who the “Talking Heads blame for this crisis in banking?
Sarah Palin’s 15 minutes of fame is gone.

Mack – McCain just stole Obama’s campaign of change. McCain is no reformer and Obama’s not corrupt, but McCain is the idea thief. Funny thing: people who are able to get good ideas can do it over and over. People who steal ideas can only repeat it when they aren’t being watched.
Like all Americans, I honor John McCain’s military service. You lie when you say that Obama mocked McCain’s war injuries … however, I do think it is pertinent that McCain is not tuned in to the digital world.
So I’ll be voting for Obama.

Another Dem for Mccain/Palin !

The Gibson interview revealed the thinness Palins knowledge of Foreign and Domestic Policies.
Her big over-dose is to meet the media and answer varities of questions!

Another Dem for Mccain/Palin !

18 million and the votes go on the PALIN/Mccain ticket, it is a wonderful thing!!

Talk about change….they have done this so much their middle name should be “camelion”.
McCain started as “the maverick” , then the “straighttalk express” and now “change”. How many more things will they need to conform to in order to win?
Make you really wonder what they would do in order to win. Maybe sacrifice their principles? Look like Palin has already changed her views in order to alighn with the party.

I am surprised at how full of hate the democratic party has become. That sort of rhetoric does not win votes or move the country forward. “And wqhy is this spoiled child so spiteful – too much cake.”

Keep the Palin-bashing going.
You Dems just don’t get it. You’re shooting yourselves in the foot.

But it’s ok to bash Obama. Can you explain the double standard.

Another white female for Mccain !!

Obama plays games with soldiers’ lives–to gain political advantage. According to Amir Taheri in the NT Post:
While campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.
According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.
“He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview.
Obama: Ruthless cynical manipulation you can believe in.

Keep the Palin-bashing going.

OH ZZZZZZZZZZ who can bash BO… his stench is all over Chicago. He buys the votes he needs and he is STILL unable to close the deal. He killed off Hillary, he now tries to KILL off Sarah…he is dirt with a capital D!
The media never vets BO he is so empty there is so NOTHING there, when you look at an empty suit…IT IS EMPTY!
The DNC has tried to shove him down Americas throat but he has stuck in our craw!
WE ARE NOT SWALLOWING THIS PHONY!!!

Obama and his lunatic supporters in freefall as McCain continues to surge.
The latest evidence is the brand new Sienna poll of NY state voters which shows Mccain within 5 points of Obama in one of the most reliably democratic states in the country. In their last poll, Obama led by 18 points.
Maybe NY’ers are expressing their outrage at the fact that their Senator Hillary Clinton, despite her 18 million voters, was not selected as VP.
HILLARY 2012!

massachusettes independent for mccain/palin

Lol, now McCain is the change guy. Too funny.
He is just a jealous guy who looks around at what others have and has to have that too.
Obsessed with celebrity and seeing Obama’s crowds, he first criticizes it and then seeks to have it for himself with his veep pick.
Seeing Obama running under the change theme (for something like 20 months) he first criticizes it and then seeks to have it for himself.
Sorry, but this McCain guy is just seeming more and more pathetic by the day.

Charlie Gibson’s affirmative action and minority preference interview tactics:
Obama interview:
How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to “win”?
How does your family feel about your “winning” breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitor’s [Clinton] speech?
Palin interview:
Do you have enough qualifications for the job you’re seeking? Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Aren’t you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
Questions about foreign policy
-territorial integrity of Georgia
-allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
-NATO treaty
-Iranian nuclear threat
-what to do if Israel attacks Iran
-Al Qaeda motivations
-the Bush Doctrine
-attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
Is America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]

And now we see an ad called “original mavericks.”
Let’s see:
McCain wants you to see him as something other than the Washington elite he is, despite being on Capitol Hill for 26 years and a media darling for most of that time.
Palin wants you to see her as the fiscal conservative who balances budgets and opposes earmarks, despite leaving the town she mayored with its first public debt and being widely known as the Alaskan queen of earmarks.
Yep, they’re mavericks alright. But not the original ones. The original maverick was named Brett, and he was a Western conman. McCain and Palin are running a con, but its just an imitation of a TV show.

Kitty: “Paul, Obama needs to tell people who he is and what he’s going to do.”
I agree, but you have to understand how out of the hands of the candidates these things are. Are you saying Obama hasn’t said who is and what he plans to do?
The problem is what the media covers, and the media loves drama over insignificant issues.
Look at how much coverage we have had about lipstick, and how little we had about the candidates’ responses to Russian tanks in Georgia.
McCain found that the more outlandish his attacks become, the more media attention he gets. So that’s what we’re seeing, and there just isn’t much airtime left to hear much about what the candidates would actually do.

McCain has been in Washington for almost 30 years and his headstrong. How is this rookie nobody gonna override him or bring any change.
Give me a break.
McCain doesn’t take her seriously and she was picked for the uninformed and gullible to think she is even gonna do anything but, be window dressing.
McCain is gonna rely on his advisers and Palin is not one of them.
McCain has a long record of dismissing women and he just slapped her on for the women who vote frivolously in choosing gender over issues.
He will probably have Liebermann as his real vp as a shadow one while Palin does ceremonial duties.
I can’t believe after the Bush years so many people are so gullible and silly minded.
Living in American Idol fantasyland.

I can see the wingnuts are out in force today.
What i don’t get is how these wingers actually thing the republicans care about them.
they have fleeced them, sent their jobs away and leave them holding the bag. Wall street is crashing and these feeble minded dopes are the ones who will be paying for the golden parachutes of the CEOs.
The republicans are laughing at these gullible wingers who have fallen for their tripe for years, can’t make ends meet and still believe the party cares.
The republicans are stuffing their pockets with these gullible fools money and yet, they think they are better off under republicans while their houses are foreclosed on and the repo man is coming for the cars.
Get real.
The republicans are the true party of elitists. You man, Bush,is a Yale silver spoon boy and McSame cannot even remember how many houses he has.
Cindy goes to the convention in 300,000 outfits.
Yeah, the gop really cares about you in the middle and really cares about your economic security.
hahahahahahaha.
what a bunch of fools.

Whew, Obama supporters are ratching up the nastiness. What’s up? I thought Obama was the almighty, basically unbeatable. Sounds a lot like fear, and it’s not pretty.
Why don’t we all step back and think about what’s best for our country instead of bashing anyone who doesn’t agree with us? What does changing people’s names (McBush) or calling people names really accomplish? Is that a selling point for the Obama “change” mantra? Doesn’t seem like change except to put a man in power who is so in love with himself it’s scary.
I don’t like the negative ads on either side, and I wish McCain would stop. It’s simply not necessary, and it pulls him down to Obama’s level. Let Obama sink himself – he’s well on his way. Too bad he was so obnoxious and arrogant that he would not even consider Clinton as a running mate. If he loses, rather than what I’m pretty sure will happen – white voters are “racists” – he has no one to blame but himself. His experience, his ethics, his judgment – all are lacking – and the empty rhetoric has started to fall flat except to the hard-core supporters or people who just won’t vote for a Republican for any reason.

Lol, Anthony, I love these coincidental juxtapositions. The housing crisis because Democrats seized Congress, etc.
Here’s another for you – the latest stock market collapse has coincided with McCain’s rise in the polls. Maybe investors are trying to tell us something?
And here’s another – almost 90 percent of our huge and growing national public debt happened after John McCain came to Washington. Sounds like somebody’s been asleep at the switch.

no one would be stupid enough to pick someone like her.

GUS,
Never underestimate the stupidity of the masses in this country. The same psuedo-”patriots” that voted for Bush may very well believe all the BS that McCain/Palin are shoveling.
I now understand that most Americans could care less about policies or issues. They want “someone who’s just like them”.
Why ANYONE thinks that ordibnary and mediocre is best for our top leaders is beyond me, but that’s exactly what people are saying.
I’d think we would have learned by now that it might be a good idea to allow the EXTREMELY INTELLEGENT people lead for a change. But that’s just me.
I guess some prefer a person with a journalism degree who thinks the fact she can “see Russia from a remote island in Alaska” is a national security qualification.

The media aren’t the bad guys in the Palin discussion. It’s easy to accuse them of acting like sexists or big-city egomaniacs. Let’s be real, though.
McCain selected Palin for EXACTLY those reasons – because she is a woman from a little-known state, who can take some of the heat off McCain and behave like an attack dog against Barack Obama. Carl Rove even said she WAS NOT selected based on ability, it was purely a political move.
So far it seems to have worked. But one thing about over-hyped, one sided, media-exalted celebrities – they can fall just as quickly when the public hears the whole story.
I’ve heard the same thing said about Barrack many times. But Obama has survived incredible public and media scrutiny, including countless rumors and false accusations for over a year now.
Palin has only been out there 3 weeks. Sure the Republicans touted her as the greatest thing since sliced bread. (Oh, is that sexist? I guess I’m calling her a loaf of bread now by GOP smear standards)
We are just now learning about Palin’s LACK OF credentials and knowledge and her governing style via secrecy and personal vendetta. I find her lack of knowledge truly FRIGHTENING! And her “style” of government looks like a cabon copy of Cheney/Bush.
It’s no longer about the shovel full that was tosssed out at the GOP convention. The tryth will come out.
Palin reads her lines well, but chosing an unvetted VP may turn out to be the downfall of the GOP. Palin’s first interview made her look over-rehersed in Republican platitudes and totally unprepared for the job. Once the truth is known, we may see a change in the winds for Sarah Palin.

Today’s Siena poll of NY voters confirms internal polling from both parties: women are largely responsible for closing Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain this month.
Obama only has a 5-point lead over McCain now, 46-41 percent, significantly down from a lead of 8 points in August, 13 in July and 18 in June.
This is with no campaigning and few resources devoted to the state by McCain.
McCain’s gains have a lot to do with women moving over to support him. This month, 45% of women picked Obama, 43% McCain, and 11% are undecided.
Last month, 48% were supporting Obama, 36% McCain, and 15% were undecided.
Obama has a serious problem with convincing voters that he is qualified to be president. 30 percent of voters polled said he was not qualified, compared with 17% for McCain.

Just get on with it…do as the people in this country apparently desire…
Split the da*n country in half. Half of it can go European and start a socialistic structured society and the other half can start a REAL free market capitalistic society.
The polarization in this country is astounding.

She doesn’t help the change argument just because someone says so. Her positions are solidly Bush-like, and along with McCain, she advocates the typical Repub line.
By the way “What’s the Bush Doctrine”? Aside from strangley coopting the word change, she knows nothing about the minutiae of US government. Beware America, Dan Quayle is back and in disguise.

I don’t buy for one second that she represents change. In fact, she erodes McCain’s appeal among independents and undermines any hope for change. Because the more stuff that comes out about her, the more it becomes apparent that she is corrupt, ignorant and unprincipled like George W. Bush.

Obama has never voted for “change”
in his life!
McCain voted for campaign finance
reform, McCain-Feingold and a
comprehensive immigration reform bill
which unfortunately was defeated!
The only thing Obama has changed is
his positions and his clothes, not
necessarily in that order!
Get the facts Obama Zombies!

I found the video of the now infamous SNL Skit that everyone is searching for. Its right here http://www.oneangryman.com and it is truely one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed. Tina Fey has captured Sarah Palin like no other.

The Israelites were stubborn. They disobeyed just about every law that God gave them, except one. God told them never to have a stranger for a king. BO is a stranger in more ways than just being black. He has moslem influence. He has evil democratic influence. But being black should be enough to disqualify him in God’s eyes. By the way, racism is a leftist term first used by a German-Jew in 1936. I don’t subscribe to it.
Tell you what, if South Africa elects a white man, if Japan elects a Korean, if Mexico elects a white American, than I still would not elect a black man to run this white, Israelite country. You don’t know we’re of the tribe of Manasseh who along with brother Ephraim, the UK, received the blessing and birthright from Almighty God? Check the truth at eli3.tripod.com.

Paul you Miss the Point!
McCain has a record of bucking his
party and initiating reforms(change)!
To quote Hillary Clinton,
“Obama has a speech he gave in 2002″!

Has anyone seen MAD’s Alfred E. Obama? A black Alfred E. Neuman. The Republicans should buy it and put it up on Times Square. The caption under the picture is choice, CHOICE! “YES, WE CAN’T!”

reagafan:
A more recent Hillary quote, right after the DNC:
“No way, not ever, no McCain.”

Leave Mel Brooks out of it.

Immoral wars? Do you know what the Bush Doctrine really is? You take two of our buildings and we take two of your countries. That’s why the moslems won’t strike us again until BO is President. Vote for BO you ungrateful idiots!

Hedley:
Hillary said that so she won’t be blamed for Obama’s coming defeat!
She actually meant what she said about
Obama’s serious lack of experience!
