Palin a Diva? Ruffled Feathers in McCain Camp

Malarkey. Sarah’s ALL about Sarah.

They created a dumb monster and the laugh is on the GOP for bringing her to the national scene!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA
Now THAT’S funny!

You mean it just now dawned on them the she is running for president and not vice president some one better clue her in on the job she is applying for. It isn’t a beauty contest.

Well it looks as if she is hitting home with a lot of people. New poll out by one of the reliable pollsters. Keep it up Sarah!
ZOGBY SUNDAY: Single day of polling, 49% to 46% in favor of Obama… Developing…

OK I am starting to get po’ed about this “liberal media” crap that the nut jobs blame for ALL their own damn mistakes …
You ALL know McCain had a lapse of judgment when he picked this Palin woman and NO amount of “liberal media” bashing is going to mask that HUGE mistake …
The media (aside from Faux) are looking out for the Nation as a whole and PUTTING COUNTRY FIRST, unlike some other nut jobs that exist in this country …

Palin is a ambitious person and I also suspect impatient. Arriving from Alaska and jumping aboard a speeding train must have been exhilarating. Such a transition played into her ambitions with no time to acquaint herself with the campaign, its people and details. It is apparent McCain brought her on board to firm segments of the base and to attract Clinton supporters. She did the first, missed on the second and now has become a huge negative for the McCain campaign. Palin’s shallowness is remarkable and John McCain is the making of his own failing campaign effort. Of course in Republican land, its never the principal person who makes the bad choices, its the media, its this or that, its always something other than themselves.

Sarah Palin is all for herself…
In her administration, she would not allow anyone in her staff to talk to the media, she was the only one allowed to do so.
She is a person who needs to be the center of attention and in the spotlight constantly.
Let her be a rogue (by the way isn’t that the reason she said she fired Walt Monegon ?) the more she talks the more damage she does to herself.
She has gone from accusing Obama of being a socialist to now being a communist… so that in itself tells you alot about how she understands policies.
How about she explains how her pipeline bidding was seriously flawed and now will not be stared for many years, if it ever will be started.
All other news media have been writing about this story except for ABC, they again are giving her a pass.
I say let her talk and then only will we see the true Sarah Palin.

Palin is already thinking about 2012. She knows McCain is going to lose so she is setting herself up for the next 4 years.
Sarah “the Diva” Palin.

Palin may be thinking about 2012, but I doubt she will have much of a political career after November.

liar, stupid, carabou barbie, hick, idiot, liar, ignorant, rogue, ditzy, stupid, liar, beauty queen, rotten mother, hypocrit, liar, airhead, loser, devil, careless, over her head, liar, adulterer, neo-con, bible thumper, war monger, ill prepared, corrupt, liar, redneck….those were just in the first two days.

Yup, that about covers it.

Palin scares the bejeezus out of the Libs.
That’s pretty apparent. An Obama four and out and you’re looking at a Republican in the White House after that. The MSM will probably turn on Obama if he gets elected…you know, trying to make up for not doing their jobs all these months. One scandal after another…

Governor Palin is extremely adept at using public relations to mask problems that result from an apparent unwillingness or inability to roll up her sleeves and deal with the all-important nuts-and-bolts issues that are essential to good governance.
In sum: In the very field that Governor Palin has proffered as her primary credential for assuming the duties of high national office, her performance simply does not measure up to her rhetoric.
http://www.alaskadispatch.com/tundra-talk/1-talk-of-the-tundra/227-governor-palins-performance-doesnt-match-her-rhetoric.html

Hey I have an idea, let’s put a couple of doofus’s on the Republican ticket, and then whenever we hear one of the right wingers fabricating some whacked out conspiracy theory about Obama, we will all start reguritating it all over the blogs.
When the media holds the campaign accountable for their fabrications, lies and smears, we will all say it is because these corporate owned media conglomerates are all Liberal.
What does every body think of my idea?

Not as good as the idea of: putting an incompetent, politico with little experience, who doesn’t really have any friends (who aren’t expendable at any rate), dressed and coached by a Karl Rove type, helped along with a healthy dose of back room ‘caucuses’ driven by an obnoxious party boss, and the scandals of his opponents on the state level getting him elected there in the first place
would be.

No….man….I don’t think Iraq was responsible for 9-11 anymore than I think Germany was responsible for Pearl Harbor. Some of us can keep track of more than two world events at a time, and yet see how they’re related. It’s called ‘geopolitics’…look it up.

Funny, it was just yesterday in response to someone posting about McCain and his leading us unprovoked into Iraq that you replied:

I agree MajorTimms…if only Obama had been president on 9-11 he could have used his super human strength to move the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and that field in Pennsylvania out of harm’s way.

Are we supposed to be surprised? This is a women who badgers her opponent, got her republican colleague fired so she could get his seat, lied, cheated, manipulated and stole from tax payers. She’s in the news more than the rappers, Alls troppergate have to do is watch her speeches and that would close the investigation.

For McCain Camp, they wish Joe the Plumber could have been chosen as VP, instead of Sarah Palin.

That’s what makes this all the funnier, the more the MSM talks about Gov. Sarah Palin instead of Sen. Obama. The more the mainsteam public is drawn to her and once they see and hear her message they are ready to vote for McCain/Palin 2008 and tell all of their friends.
Joe

Yeah, that would be funny joe.. except the opposite is occuring. The more people hear her, the less confidence people have of her. Why do you think the GOP is trying to keep her away from press conferences and one on one media contacts?

Uh, no, RedneckBob, I’m talking about the slick Obama campaign and the snake oil they’re selling. Actually, I was being too nice to Karl Rove-he can’t hold a candle to David Axelrod. I support McCain because of his substance and leadership and experience-not because of Madison Avenue inspired nonsense that we’ve been brainwashed into accepting in our society.
BTW, you know why they’re not letting Palin give a lot of interviews. Because the MSM is so ruthless in coming at her. Obama was never exposed to that, and the first time they do he’s in for a rude awakening. Also, Palin is new to national politics-she needs to learn this game…unfortunately. But, she’ll learn fast.

Democrats have put themselves into the position in which they have to fuel resentment to generate support. Who better to carry that banner than Chicago’s Obama, a man experienced as a “community organizer,” immersed in class hatred by Saul Alinsky (author of “Rules for Radicals”) and dedicated to establishing a nanny socialist system in which, according to his wife, Michelle, “Barack Obama will require you to work” and “never allow you to go back to your lives as usual — uninvolved, uninformed.”
Joe

Joe;
Are you Sarah’s speech writer ?
Sounds like the same B.S.

GOP: “Uh, no, RedneckBob, I’m talking about the slick Obama campaign and the snake oil they’re selling”
Let me hear all about this snake oil!
GOP: BTW, you know why they’re not letting Palin give a lot of interviews. Because the MSM is so ruthless in coming at her. Obama was never exposed to that, and the first time they do he’s in for a rude awakening.
Too funny! Nevermind explaining about the ‘snake oil’.. looks like you have already drank it and more. I know, if it ain’t GOP it’s gotta be evil, yadda, yadda, yadda..

I used to be like “Grand Old Party”.. die hard republican thru and thru.. but then I grew up. I’m still registered a Republican, but I could care less about the party line now. There are good ones and there are bad ones. Lately, there seems to be more bad ones on the far right than I’d like to see. I, like most of my other republican friends are voting for our Country this election cycle, and pushing for Obama. John was a good man back in the day, and I voted for him in the 2000 primaries mostly due to his opposition to the Bush tax cuts. Seems now, he just wants to do whatever it takes to get elected.. he did a complete reversal on taxes which will destroy this country at this juncture we are in, and instead of picking a running mate that would be best for the country, he pandered to his ‘base’ and picked about the most unqualified candidate he could find simply for political reasons. Shame on him, and shame on the GOP for letting him do so. So be it. Maybe I’ll vote republican next cycle, but then again, maybe not.

Don’t be so quick to point fingers paula.. most of the wounds McCain has are all self-inflicted. Wrong stance on taxes, wrong stance on health care, wrong stance on foreign policy, very wrong choice in running mate. Blame who you like if it makes you feel better, but I’m sure John knows who the real blame belongs to.

A campaign that spends more on haidressers and makeup artists than foreign policy advisers in the last month of a recession/wartime election is so grossly out of touch with reality that the participants should be chased out of politics by the people. Sarah Palin is more concerned about her hairdo and wardrobe than the economy and the war. I like McCain and I feel sorry for him, having chosen a person he trusted to back him and instead is looking out for her own book deal and hollywood career. SNL was right. I would even vote for McCain, but, if elected, it is far to probable that McCain would pass, and Palin would be at the helm. We can’t risk this right now so I have to either not vote or vote for Obama.

UGLY AMERICAN

Uh, I was answering the question about what constitutes snake oil (BTW, I meant George, was thinking ‘Steve’ instead of Stephanopolos). Wasn’t a rant. Whatever.
“I used to be like “Grand Old Party”.. die hard republican thru and thru.. but then I grew up”
Yeah, and when I was younger I gravitated towards Socialism-studied Marx and Engels, took history courses in college I didn’t need for credit, read economics text books on my own…I still think Marx has the best explanation of history of any theory I’ve seen, and the fact that he was able to address history as a true science (albeit a social one rather than natural, like physics) along the lines of gathering data and trying to predict future outcomes is remarkable, and I still view history and social evolution in Marxist terms.
That being said, I can therefore smell a Socialist a mile away…and Obama’s a Socialist.
Now, there is a difference in my mind between ‘welfare socialism’ and Bolshevism where a certain portion of the population is discounted and kept fat and happy like the Proles in Nineteen Eighty-Four. I believe in what may be called an ‘integrated Socialism’ where a society makes the best use of its human resources, but without being dictatorial. Government should do what it can to make sure that people can find jobs where they are most needed, that intelligent people can be educated without being stiffed by unreasonable interest rates on loans.
The American Revolution and Marxism have the same ancestor in the Age of Enlightenment and European/American rationalist thought. They simply diverged. Our version here, and the Red version starting with the French Revolution and spread by Napoleon’s armies throughout Europe.
But, the Red version has shown to be a failure for reasons I won’t bore any reader here with. Marx should have looked more closely at America and not simply viewed worker exploitation as evil, but advantageous to worker and Capitalist alike…just takes time to work itself out is all.
My point is, we can solve our problems based upon traditional American values and our current system rather than running to Marxist economic and political theory every time we hit a rough stretch of road.

checks and balances works just fine for me-maybe if cheny had not rubber stamped gwb along with the 82% u.s population/msn/majority of both parties we would not have gone to war.
this speaks very well for mccain who allows for opposing views.
you go sarah your independent spirit is what defines you.

Get a grip guys. Sarah’s palin.

Send her back to Alaska in Nov. so we can impeach her, her dishonesty seems o have no bounds..poor McCain he should have vetted better…

Does Obama have NPD?
The 2008 presidential election in America is the most crucial election in this country’s history, not because the issues are that critical but because of Sen. Barack Obama. The Democratic presidential candidate’s language, posture and demeanor suggest that he may suffer from narcissistic personality disorder, or NPD. NPD is a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and a lack of empathy. The following are some of the symptoms of NPD that can be seen in Sen. Obama:
He subtly misrepresents facts, opportunistically shifts positions, ignores data that conflict with his fantasy world, is overly confident and acts presidential despite commensurate merits and his modest life achievements, considers himself above the law, talks about himself in the third person, has a messianic vision of himself and his “mission,” displays false modesty while often evincing haughtiness, sublimates aggression, holds grudges and behaves as an eternal adolescent. These are narcissistic traits as seen in Sen. Obama by Dr. Sam Vaknin. The author of “The Malignant Self Love,” Vaknin states, “Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist.”
NPD is the prime disorder experienced by all the madmen of history – from Hitler to Stalin, Mao, Kim, Pol Pot, Osama, Khomeini, Saddam and Idi Amin. These men wreaked havoc and killed millions. They looked normal. Few suspected their insanity until it was too late.
Obama shares something else with these infamous narcissists: a chaotic childhood. One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse, such as the neglecting of his or her emotional needs.
Pathological narcissism is not run-of-the-mill narcissism – someone with a hedonistic or self-centered sense of self – but rather someone with a very weak sense of self. A child who feels inferior, due to real or perceived social rejection, will try to compensate his feeling of inferiority by a subconscious neurotic mechanism, which the pioneering psychiatrist Alfred Adler coined “Superiority Complex.”
Such a person compensates his devalued and injured self with puffery, pomposity and by projecting a false image of majesty and authority. He retreats into a bubble universe of fantasy, in which he is loved, respected and omnipotent. All children create such a fantasy world. Narcissists simply don’t leave it. Since, due to their extreme feeling of inferiority, they don’t fit in the real world, they refuge into this bubble world of fantasy and never get out. This world of pretence becomes to them as real as the real world, to the point that they can’t tell the difference. When Obama acts presidential, he is simply acting out his childhood fantasy of omnipotence and grandeur. Emotionally, he is still a hurt little boy neglected and unloved, in the body and mind of a grown up man.
Narcissists have the emotional maturity of a child, or even an animal, but the intellect of a man. They feel like a beast, but think like a human. What makes narcissists dangerous is their lack of conscience, combined with their superior intelligence and their superb performance ability that fool many. They are predators that outsmart you.
To a narcissist, reality and fantasy are intertwined. He does not just pretend to be omnipotent, omniscient and superior to others; he actually believes it to be so. His delusions of grandiosity are real to him. That is why Obama acts presidential, despite his nugatory life achievements, lack of experience and complete ignorance in economic, political and military matters, as his flip-flopping shows. Obama is a cipher, but in his mind and those of his worshipers, such as Oprah Winfrey, he is “the One,” the messiah who holds the key to all human sufferings.
Narcissism is not just a character flaw, but a mental disorder. Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and they are intelligent, when in reality they live in a bubble world of fantasy. It is this incoherence, this disjunction between reality and fantasy that makes them overly confident, self-assured and authoritative.
Narcissists disguise their feeling of inferiority by projecting unusual calmness, confidence, assertiveness, dominance and focus, and almost always possess superb thespian, communication and oratorical skills. These are traits that make one charismatic and attract a stampede of votaries like flies to sugar. Narcissists are needy people who crave attention. They develop these skills and act them out with regal exquisiteness to attract love, respect and admiration. They are performers, actors, slick chameleons.
Sadly, all the grace, exuberance, equanimity, charm, positive energy and magnetism that narcissists project, are pretence. They have the same function that the Styrofoam Greek columns at the Democratic National Convention had – to impress. The world of the narcissist is the magical world of smoke and mirrors. He is an illusionist.
NPD, and people’s lack of understanding of it, has made it possible for many insane individuals to rise to the pinnacles of power. It is to this disorder that we owe most of the carnage of history.
When the Bible describes Satan, it gives a textbook definition of narcissism. Narcissists are charming, charismatic, intelligent, persuasive, but deceitful and ruthless. They can seduce multitudes.
When World War II ended and its horrors became known, the world said, “Never Again.” “Never Again” can only work if we choose our leaders wisely. Once a madman is in power, it is already too late.
In an article entitled “Understanding Obama: The Making of a Fuhrer,” I have shown many narcissistic traits that can be observed in Sen. Obama. Should the senator have NPD, all issues in this election would pale in comparison to what is at stake.
Imagine someone with the mindset of Hitler, Khomeini or Kim Jong-il in the White House, with Congress and Senate at his feet. Can you think of a more dreadful scenario?
In the case of Hitler, the only issue that really mattered was his sanity. Instead, the Germans were hoodwinked by his charisma, his oratorical skill and his vacuous promises of change. They paid a hefty price for their negligence. Shouldn’t we learn from their mistakes?
It makes no sense that cops and pilots should be required to take psychiatric evaluation prior to being trusted with a gun or an aircraft, whereas there is no such requirement for those aspiring to run a country and be commander in chief, in charge of weapons of mass destruction.
It is time for the people of the world to demand that those who want to become head of any country submit to rigorous mental checkups. Millions of lives depend on the sanity of these leaders. If the physical health of presidential candidates is important, how much more important is their mental health?
There is no basis upon which to assume Obama would become a murderous tyrant, but there are a number of disturbing traits he shares with murderous world leaders that are worrisome. He can dispel our fears by submitting to a mental checkup.
In the spirit of fairness, I am asking all candidates to submit to this test. Psychiatric evaluation for leaders seeking positions of authority must become mandatory in all countries. Without it we are playing Russian roulette with war and our lives. Imagine how many millions of lives would have been spared only in the last century if aspiring leaders were screened and madmen barred from gaining power.
If you agree this is a vital issue, which transcends all other issues, whatever your political affiliation, I urge you to please sign this petition (follow link below) and invite others to do the same. If enough people become concerned about Sen. Obama’s mental health, they may think twice before casting their votes for him.
Knowledge is Power. Power be with you.

GUPTA: In May, the Obama campaign released a statement from his doctor of 21 years. It was a one-page summary of his medical records.
Here’s what it said, “Senator Obama has been in excellent health. He has been seen regularly for medical check ups and various minor problems like upper respiratory infections, skin rashes and minor injuries.”
Dr. Ellis says there is no reason to doubt the official statement.

It is what it is: Obama allied with scoundrels
Saturday, October 11, 2008
In the best tradition of Bill Clinton’s declaration that the answer to the question of whether he was having an affair depended on “what the definition of is is,” Sen. Barack Obama was clearly concealing the truth when he said that William Ayers was “just a guy who lives in my neighborhood.”
The Ayers-Obama connection was, in fact, an intimate collaboration that it led to the only executive or administrative experience in Obama’s life.
After Walter Annenberg’s foundation offered several hundred million dollars to American public schools in the mid-’90s, Ayers applied for $50 million for Chicago. His purpose was to “raise political consciousness” in schools.
After he won the grant, Ayers’ group chose Obama to distribute the $50 million, and the future senator raised another $60 million from other civic groups to augment it. In doing so, he was following Ayers’ admonition to grant the funds to “external” organizations, like American Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), to pair with schools and conduct programs to radicalize and politicize the students.
Reading, math and science achievement tests counted for little in the grants, but the school’s success in preaching a radical agenda determined how much money it got.
Obama should have run screaming at the sight of Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn. Ayers has admitted bombing the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon, and his wife was imprisoned for failing to cooperate in solving the robbery of a Brink’s car in which two police were killed. Far from remorse, Ayers told The New York Times [NYT], in September 2001, that he wished he “could have done more.” Ayers only avoided conviction when the evidence against him turned out to be contained in illegal wiretaps. He was, in fact, guilty as sin.
So let’s sum up Obama’s Chicago connections. His chief financial supporter was Tony Rezko, now on his way to prison. His spiritual adviser was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, of “God damn America” fame. And the guy who got him his only administrative job is former terrorist Ayers.
Not a good recommendation for a president.

Natasha, I agree with you that Sarah Palin has NPD. Probably clear to most people that she Sarah Palin does have narcissistic personality disorder.
But, other than for the verbal insults, and lies, it’s not clear whether Both Sarah and John are the same type of narcissists because John McCain explodes more often.
Both Sarah and John are verbal abusers, but John is more likely to also assault people physically.

Disgusting to buy high-priced clothes for that entire family with donated money.
The United Way and communities across this country are trying to get donations of reasonably priced winter coats for children while that Palin family has spent $150,000 of donated money for high priced designer clothes, purses, jewelry and makeup.

these kooky evangelicals better just break away from the party and the GOP should initiate it. they represent a small part of the party and on their own would be useless. let them be intolerant hypocrites onto themselves. the GOP has lost and is continuing to lose many in the base that are not evangelical and the number is growing all the time. the Republican party we knew and grew up with is gone, replaced with these fringe nut bags.

What does a VP actually do anyway?
-Sarah Palin

As an Australian and UK citizen I feel moved to add comment, after all the outcome of this election directly effects us. Are you all aware that only in the US is ‘liberal’ considered a pejorative term? the rest of the world finds this quite bemusing and not quite comprehensible. We also don’t quite understand why personal invective and personalities are the focus of elections rather than policies and abilities. The allegations of socialism are absurd, a great deal of wealth has been re-distributed in the past 8 years to cronies of the current incumbent. By the way – thanks for the rampant de-regulation that resulted in sub-prime mortgages and a knock on effect to the world economy. We do feel that our current economic difficulties are a direct result of current administration policies and lack of fiscal responsibility.

Palin and her camp are just setting up shop for 2012. McCain is a loose cannon with age issues to them right now…

I bet you will try and tell us what the Republicans have been doing for 8 years has helped us all.

Lets all be like Andy Griffith, a man noone would think has terroristic beliefs, nor would he support anyone who would be a threat to our American ways. He a tested patriot who has always represented the true American. In the greatly loved and repected show The Andy Griffith Show he often tought us about right and wrong and sticking up for whats American. His son in that series was famous director Ron Howard, who in his own right, is a respected and loved icon of what being an American is truly about. These great Americans have given their support to Barack Obama for President. They believe that he is the BEST choice for President. Theyve even invited their fellow American Henry Winkler, another beloved member of that true American dream team. If there was the inkling of doubt about Obamas love for this country or ability to lead us in a positive direction, they wopuld NEVER have done this. They have stepped up for Barack Obama, because they believe in his ability to HELP America, and lead us to a brighter future. Lets all stick together and stand for the America that Andy Griffith stands for! Obama/Biden

well here are some of mccain views——-100 year war—–due to nafta we are living in an era of prosperity—–bomb bomb iran—-we are all georgians today—-we need colombia as part of nafta(must have a few spare jobs left here to send them)—-the surge the surge,and we are still there.—drill drill drill and as i predicted the arabs are cutting back on production 1.5 million barrels a day, hate to say i told you so.—our economy is strong while wall street colapses.—-this is what you call a leader—-THIS IS WHAT I CALL A LOSER AND PALIN PUT THE ICENING ON THE CAKE.

What Would You Do?
Sorry, but there is something strange in the Obama household. This ain’t Ozzie and Harriet, that’s for sure. Grandma Dunham, Barack’s defacto mother, the woman who raised him while her daughter ran around the world, is supposedly on her deathbed. She is 86 years old and the clock on her mortal coil is ticking down.
So, if your defacto mother-in-law, the woman who raised your husband, is at death’s door do you:
A) Take your children and accompany your husband for a final visit/farewell,
B) Stay home and make sure your girls get to school, or
C) Go campaigning
If you picked C, you are a winner.
What kind of a mother is Michelle.
First Reverend Wright baptized her children. Now her and the kids don’t see their grandmother maybe for the last time?

WE DONT HAVE TO WONDER ABOUT MCCAIN AS HE VOTED ALONG WITH BUSH OVER 90% OF THE TIME—-BUSH MCBUSH ONE AND THE SAME—-THE LAST 8 YEARS HAVE BEEN SUPER GREAT FOR THE USA…BUSH MCBUSH ONE AND THE SAME.

VISIT PALINS MINISTER —HE WILL CHASE THE WITCHES OUT OF YOU —HA HA HA
————–
Doubtfull. Look at his track record.

PALIN HAS NO CLUE AS TO TAXES—-AND DONT UNDERSTAND THAT 5% HAS 85% OF THE WEALTH—AND THE REST OF US CAN EAT DIRT,

Sarah Palin on TAXES
You Betcha Palin Is A Tough Governor: This is Governor Palin Way Of Spending Oil Tax Money.
During the oil crisis of 2007, Palin fought to raise taxes on oil companies. As fuel prices skyrocketed in the lower 49 states, Palin complained that her state wasn’t getting its share of the windfall.
Palin successfully pushed for a law that raised taxes on oil profits. The increase amounted to an estimated $1.6-billion annually more for the state: double the amount it received the year before. Then she gave the money to the people.
It’s true: we’ve already checked her claim that she sent “a large share of that revenue directly back to the people of Alaska.”
On Aug. 7, 2008, the Alaska Legislature approved a measure she promoted. The administration of Alaska’s governor Sarah Palin now gives $1,200 to every single Alaskan. This comes to about $741-million for state residents. In addition, each resident will receive an annual dividend of $2,000 from an oil-wealth savings account. That comes to about $741-million for state residents
For a family of 7 (Gov. Palin has 7 members in her family) that means an additional $22,400.00 in income sent from the state of Alaska. WOW, who needs a job! Back to the trailer, Billy Bob!
Sarah Palin is more ready for the Washington, D.C. crowd than Obama. Obama has proven he cannot even take care of a simple housing project. How can YOU expect Obama to run the country?
Obama gave the people in Illinois broken down housing and dangerous living conditions. Where did the money go? What pockets were filled with tax payers’ money from Washington, D.C.? We know where Governor Sarah Palin’s tax money is. The tax money is in the pockets of the residents of Alaska.
The Democrats ran out of information, but Update America has tons on Obama.

Sarah needs to study up on Dan Quayle, who arrogantly decided he would be the heir-apparent of party leadership, and imploded when he ran for president himself. He skulked off to Arizona with his tail between his legs and hasn’t been heard from since. I predict a similar fate for Caribou Barbie.

160 THOUSAND A YEAR INCOME—MILLIONS IN ASSETS—WHERE DID THE MONEY COME FROM—LOOK OUT FOR THE IRS.PALIN IS IN THE SPOTLIGHT AND WILL NOT ESCAPE THIS ONE—even a total idiot can do the math.

still no explanation as to how you have millions in assets on 160 thousand a year.

I see the GoP attack dogs are out in full force. They would be better served abandoning this love relationship with Palin. Sure, she embodies the ideals of the radical religious right, but America is very tired of that angle. Americans do not want it. That group has spawned some of the worst politicians of this era, and have caused incredible amounts of damage. The GoP needs to find itself again, and divorce this radical group.
And Palin? She has been found out. She is all about Palin and her radical agenda. Another ignorant radical among a long line of them. It is time to return the running of this country to intelligent, capable people, not people of low to moderate intelligence and radical beliefs.

show them this electon—-the 5% that have all the money –will pay more taxes. they cannot out vote you.ever the rothchilds are disturbed–(the filthy rich.)

wonder how much more the waltons(owners of wallyworld the chinese junk yard will pay) they most likely pay nothing now.
this kind of crap must end and end now.
palin is just a distraction from the real issues.

OMG, News Flash!! Sarah Palin is a maverick!! Who knew!! For crying out loud, “diva” is a very, very sexist unflattering term. Shame on you, ABC, for printing this kind of gossip. No wonder you are losing your viewership. Sarah Palin was chosen because she was a maverick and John McCain himself said that the handlers were holding her back too much. Gov. Palin is no dummy, she’s gotten her update on current Washington affairs and now she’s taking over her part of the ballgame. This is what we should want her to do if she is really vice-presidential material–show she’s ready to lead.

The McCain campaign is melting down faster than a glacier in Florida. They are poised and ready to throw Sarah Palin under the dogsled when they fail to win in hope that McCain can attempt to walk away with a tiny shred of dignity. To try to swap her out is impossible even if they call it a “Campaign Surge” as total credibility would be lost.

If Palin ever decides to run for President her bid will be an abject failure. She’ll have nowhere to hide. It’s unbelievable to me that anyone can believe she is presidential material.

with mccains age and health you must see how irresponsible it was to pick palin—mccain must have the hots for her,as she is marginally educated and is in no way capable of handling the complex issues we face today—she dont have a clue.

Well folks it’s all over, the GOP Wing nuts are desperately grasping at straws in these final days.
Everything and anything will be said, spread, and used over and over to cast doubt and suspicion towards Obama, Mr Rove planned it this way, and it’s his last kick at the cat before his ass is unceremoniously booted out the door.
The Dynamic duo of Mavericks et al are slowly sinking into the quicksand, they know they have no hope of winning, John McCain will be so glad to get back to one of his warmer homes and put his Jammie’s on and slide into his slippers and have a nice long nap.
Sarah will fade into oblivion, she will probably be impeached in Alaska, get the boot and go shoot a Moose or two just to relieve her rage.
Beauty Queens don’t handle defeat well, so she may be a bit testy when she gets back to the frozen tundra of Alaska.
But all in all it’s been a great campaign, the world actually got to see what a great place America is, and as another article stated the United Nations can’t wait for “W” to go home to Texas, and get Obama sworn in.
Aren’t you extremely proud of America, what a great Country.
Yep the best health care system in the world, the best Education system in the world, the best banking system in the world, the best military in the world. the best political system in the world.
Oh sorry, I was looking at another country, never mind.

Sunday Rassmussen/Fox News poll Obama lead still at 52-44%, send little miss diva back to Alaska.

AP report just released. Looks like Palin had some dealings with the “fair bidding” for her pipeline that led to a contract with a bidder that had ties to her administration. Go read and judge for yourself. Every new thing that comes out about her enforses the fact that she isnt on the up and up.

No surprise, this is how she has run her whole political career. She was a disaster of a pick.

Update America———-The suit against Obama was throw out of court by a Judge on the eve of the 24th. Its a go no wear smear plan and people know better. Atleast the Judge did.

UpdateAmerica:
News International has learned the big oil companies are mad at Governor Sarah Palin and big oil is mad enough to do anything to detract from the truth. Big oil fears Governor Sarah Palin going to Washington, D.C. because big oil knows she is a tough person with which to deal. Big oil knows they will have to give way or face the consequences with Sarah Palin.
You Betcha Palin Is A Tough Governor:
Alaska could revoke leases for oil fields like Prudhoe Bay if top energy companies refuse to participate in a government natural gas pipeline plan, Gov Sarah Palin told Reuters in an interview.
Exxon Mobil Corp, BP Plc and ConocoPhillips together control more than 35 trillion cubic feet of known gas reserves on the Alaska North Slope.
But the companies declined to participate in a process backed by Palin to jump-start a long-delayed gas pipeline, arguing they needed a long-term tax deal from the state first.
Palin called the refusal “unconstitutional.”
“When the conditions of these leases are not met, especially after decades, it is time to open them up and allow other companies to come in here and compete for the right to tap the resources,” the Republican governor told Reuters this week in an interview.
The companies have said they are interested in developing the reserves, with ConocoPhillips studying a separate plan.
Palin’s tough talk has the backing of many ordinary Alaskans who are suspicious of the influence of the oil companies, as well as Democrats in the state legislature.
Sarah Palin is a fighter and she knows how to make big oil companies bend. Obama is one of the good-ole-boys in Washington, D.C. and the big oil companies know with Obama they can do as they please. Send Sarah Palin to Washington, D.C., she will work for the people.

Does the McCain camp really think that America is desperate for another beauty queen. You did better when she didn’t open her mouth. Please wise up and realize that Hilary’s voters loved her because she truly represented women, educated,smart,professional and aware of the issues before them. Govenor Palin may haviing been looking for the glass ceiling but the shards of glass got in the way.
It’s about time the blame is placed on the shoulder of the right person, John McCain for bringing her to the national spotlight for the slaughter without preparation.
Go back to your family and the people of your state. Don’t think 2012 will be any easier because people will not forget 2008, and your fight will be twice as hard to shed the image of the ill-prepared VP nominee.

yes and who pays for the money alaska got—WE DO AT THE PUMPS.

She can look towards 2012 all she wants but she’ll probably be indicted before then for her abuse of powers as governor. Not to mention the house built for her in Wasilla by the hockey center contractors. (Yup, she’s frugal all right…savin money by taking advantage of her political situation.) I ain’t drinkin the Sarah Palin coolaid.

no matter how anyone slices it, the fact remains that john mccain is extremely proud of the next POTUS, palin. doubt john mccain, if elected, would live out his first term. poor guy is a very old 72, not in the best of physical health, and probably not in good mental health as well. 5 years as a pow in a cruel vietnamese pow prison camp had to have left mccain with ptsd at the very least. each ticket, each candidate has supporters. palin is in a win/win position. if mccain/palin loses the election, palin will be picked up by the entertainment industry for big bucks!

Update America: Do you really think anyone is going to read your hogwash.. oops I meant pigwash???

I can’t stand this woman, I think she is ignorant and dnagerous, but I’m not really sure what this article is trying to say. It seems like poor journalism based on incoherent rumours by those who won’t take credit for their words, and even more incoherent spin on top of that to interpret what they meant to say. I could do without this type of article, stick to the facts, please. There is enough real information out there to convince America she has no business in a position of power in our country, we don’t need this.

To the people that keep harping on Obama and his birth certificate. The judge threw the suit out on the 24th. Personally I dont care if he was born on Mars. He is what this country needs right now and will make a better President than McCain and even many a Rep agrees.

Well … McCain is a lost cause, so for Governor Palin it’s time to cut losses and polish her own apples.
The good news for her is: she’ll have 4 more years to actually get a clue about what the presidency is all about.
My bet is that it won’t matter. She’s unsuitable both from an intellectual point of view (records about her term as myor and as governor confirm she’s an airhead) and a temperamental point of view (can’t inspire loyalty because she doesn’t give any, not a team player).
The bad news for her: people will have four extra years to take a weigh her up.
Governor Palin may be “folksy” to a fault, she can’t hide the fact that she even failed to make a go of the only state of the Union that practically runs itself and whose budget is supported by a big stream of oil revenues. After another four years people ought to be able to see whether her policies in Alaska actually did anything useful (which so far of course they haven’t).

Palin IS a diva!! You can tell. Troopergate is evidence to that! She got pissed because she couldn’t get her way so she fired the poor guy! Plus, the whole “pit-bull” image (perpetuated by Palin) also suggests how she actually views herself!!

BTW when a report says its from anon sources then quotes a name assigned to the other one of only two possible people, its not difficult to work out who the anon source actually was…

Well, well, well….. this dirty business with Sarah “The She-Thug” Palin just keeps getting better and better all the time. But certainly it comes as no surprise of just how much this ‘she-thug’ has no business making decisions about ANYTHING!! I honestly doubt that she would qualify as a parking meter attendant. It seems that Sarah Palin is not only “one of the good old boys”, but she reeks of it! What an obscene joke that John McCain and the Republican Party/GOP has touted her as “taking on these good old boys network”. I actually think that she is much worse than this GOB’s network, because at the same time, she is UNBELIEVABLY AND SUPERBLY IGNORANT! In MY opinion, the only difference between Sarah Palin and this “good old boys” network is that she wears “VERY” EXPENSIVE DRESSES and ACCESSORIES, AND SPORTS “VERY” EXPENSIVE DO’S AND LIPSTICK!!! Let this be a lesson on just how much not only INTELLIGENCE, COMMON SENSE AND EDUCATON are required when placed in positions of authority, but INTEGRITY is required as well…… otherwise, innocent people stand to pay for that ignorance. No doubt, Sarah Palin never bothered to “really” understand the bidding process and conflicts of interest or lucrative contracts, just as she has never bothered reading the US Constitution. I guess that she was working on “instinct”. What is the next episode of “As The World of Sarah Palin Turns?”

Ruffled feathers? That would be Biden in his FL TV interview when he finally was asked pertinent questions. I guess his crystal ball can only predict international disasters, not questions that make him look like one.

Become a separate and Independent Nation? oops I mean independent candidate.

CW: I am one of those former Republicans you are speaking of, and in my prior post addressing comments made by “Update America”, I erred when I typed that voters made a huge mistake in their choice for President, I meant the Republican voters during the primary made a huge mistake in the choice for the party Presidential candidate. There are many Republicans who are making the correct choice for President, and it’s not McCain. I hail from Houston Texas and the Republicans for Obama groups may be responsible for handing the Houston metropolitan area over to Democrats for the first time in decades. There are many reasons, the choice of McCain being foremost, but then his choice of Palin simply put the icing on the cake. Republicans need to start anew, and with totally new people. Not a single candidate in this year’s Republican primary was an attractive choice. Surely we have better within the ranks. I will remain one of many ex-Republicans who will remain outside the box, until some serious rebuilding is undertaken.

Bad choice. How ever advised McCain should be fired.

Obama and Biden refuse to answer tough questions, so who are the divas?? The Obama campaign relies on sucking in gullible young people who don’t need facts, just an idol. People with half a brain need facts. Obama is NOT who you think he is people. The Democratic party was taken over this election by the radical left. Wake up, America!!

Anyone who takes anything that the Manstream media says (MSNBC,CNN,CBS,ABC)
ARE FOOLS ! It has been so apparent that they are all in the tank for Obama. If you actually look everytime Joe biden makes a GAFFE or when something comes out to reveal the spread the wealth plan out of Obamas mouth the mainstream media comes up with some trash about Gov.Sarah Palin they are trying to ditract voters from makeing a choice on facts. I find it sickening and heaven forbid Obama does get elected what will be reported by the media will we know the truth of what the Obama Administration is doing ??? about what Obama,Polosi,reid and Frank are planning on spending our money on ???????????????

Posted by: Tammy————————————-Thats right. We should all listen to watch FOX as they are so fair and nonbiased. Rush and Hennedy are the fairest of them all. How could we have been so stupid.

Update America:
President Ronald Reagan quotes that make Obama a ZERO:
The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away.
The government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’
Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.
Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.
I don’t believe in a government that protects us from ourselves.
Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.
Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.”
Reading the endorsements of Obama in the liberal media should strengthen the determination of all believers in American self-government and greatness to fight this election campaign to the end. Time magazine’s Joe Klein tells us that Obama “seems a grown-up, in a nation that badly needs some adult supervision.” To the contrary, we are a nation of adults. We don’t need the “supervision” of a conventionally liberal and totally untested junior senator whose most impressive lifetime achievement has been the construction of an effective narrative about himself.
But wait. Obama does have one great achievement. He’s run a good campaign.
The New York Times tells us, “After nearly two years of a grueling and ugly campaign, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois has proved that he is the right choice to be the 44th president of the United States.” And how has he proved this? “Mr. Obama has met challenge after challenge, growing as a leader and putting real flesh on his early promises of hope and change.”
The “challenges” Obama has met have been political and electoral. He’s met them well, and we’d be the first to pay tribute to his disciplined and effective campaign. Still, is this “proof” of a capacity to be president? Obama has run the most impressive campaign by a non-incumbent since George W. Bush in 2000, and by a non-incumbent Democrat since Jimmy Carter in 1976. Do the Obama acolytes want to hold up the Bush or Carter administrations as models for the proposition that a good campaign translates into a good presidency?
We also hear a lot of squeaking from rats deserting the McCain ship about Barack Obama’s exemplary temperament. So what? If he’d had his way, Obama would have lost the war in Iraq–with equanimity. He would have been calm, cool, and collected as U.S. interests were sacrificed and U.S. honor besmirched. Neville Chamberlain also had a fine temperament and a good intellect. Joe Biden, by the way, has neither. But he did–much as he now wishes people to forget it–support the Iraq war. These days, he can barely be bothered even to mention Iraq. Oh well, start a war, lose a war. Gotta move on.

Palin is about Palin…she’s not in this for you or me or this country. I do believe John McCain is running for president for this country and all it stands for. Palin is running simply for herself.
This is a dangerous woman – she would have fit in quite well with Bush/Cheney but she is NOT what we need in this country.

Palin=Cheney in lipstick. She never plays the politics with rules. Read the article: Bidding process for Palin’s pipeline was flawed.

Gee, one of obama’s supporters told me that he is a closet cross-dresser. yeah, they said he wears michelle’s panties under those expensive suits. See how easy it is to make up things ABC? One person says something and you automatically believe it.

Let’s not *entirely* blame McCain for the shortcomings of Governor Palin, shall we?
I mean … from an election-technical perspective it was a good move:
- McCain is an elderly crinkled male, so complement his ticket with a young female looker
- McCain is a long-time senator who uses too many words of more than one syllable, so complement the ticket with a total outsider who’s “folksy”
- McCain does Ok on campaigns, but he hasn’t been able to stir up enthousiasm from the party base (I mean those worthy folks in the Appalachians who shoot their own dinner), so complement with a moose-hunter
I mean … it was a bit of a gamble, but it could have worked if Governor Palin had simply stuck to her lines and hadn’t let her vapidity show. It’s downright uncharitable to second-guess McCain the way he’s being second-guessed now. He doesn’t deserve that.

I feel bad for Mccain. If he wouldnt have picked the TERRIBADESTWORST CHOICE of a women for a VP he might would have had a chance. Fail.

Palin may be a bad choice, but Obama would be worse.

I have voted in every Presidential election since I turned 18. Although the number of times has only been five, I hold one over-riding theory when making my decision. My theory is: The money each person controls and posses, dictates the quality of life that he or she will have living in America. I have a difficult time understanding how people let the rhetoric and pandering of inflammatory issues drive their decision. If you have found yourself unemployed or having to take deep pay-cuts while your standards of living quickly catch up to the Third World Countries of this planet, how could you, in your right mind, vote Republican? I have always conceded to the Right Wing folks, if you have more money than you know what to do with, or are in fear of having to pay an amount of taxes which hurts your bottom line as bad as it hurts the people having to make choice between rent and food, then by all means protect yourself by voting Republican. My belief is: there are far more people having to make the “Hard Choices” than people having to cut back on the number of vacations they take. Why is it that the Republicans do not simply come out and say “If you are Big Business and hope to line your pockets with tax breaks designed to empower the wealthy, then vote for ME… If you are the vast majority of people living in this Country, unemployed or toiling with the ranks of folks fearing the next lay-off – then there is nothing we are going to enact which should interest you – go ahead and vote for the Democrats. This would truly be STRAIGHT TALK!
I don’t care if the Democratic nominee is white, black, brown, handicapped, male, female, homosexual, inhaled, old, young, visiting his ailing grandmother, a prisoner of war, rich , poor, tall, short or snores at night. What I care about is: what is going to happen to my family and me in the near and long term future. And that is dictated by the money I control!

Does this surprise any one.Sarah Palin couldn’t figure out how to do something right if someone wrote directions for her. I think if her own family members (Todd) got in she’d strike like a cobra. This woman and this election is going down in history. She is a shark in shallow water, she’ll bite any one in her way including McCain. It just goes to show a person, she was not researched before being picked to run with McCain. Its o.k., she cutting her own throat. I like that.

Obama was right. You put lipstick on this pig, you still got a pig! You betcha1

Natasha,
Don’t blame CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and other other legitimate news media outlets for the fact that:
A: McCain is a lousy candidate whose pandering to voters (conservatives and independents) has been exposed during this campaign for what it is (undisciplined).
B. Palin is out of her league in the national spotlight and was a strategic, colossal blunder by McCain to appease radicals in his own party.
So, stop whining. Republicans have no one to blame for lousy media exposure but themselves.

I am from Canada and I hope the Obama National Healthcare Program doesn’t end in a mess like ours and in England. I know a few rich people that can pay to travel to other countries for better and timelier surgeries. I am sick and upset from the entire bloody situation. I had to wait a fortnight for a simple cyst removal. A friend of mine had to wait a month for the removal of a gall bladder. She suffered the entire time and had to take pain medication.
http://www.theadvocates.org/freeman/8903lemi.html

Sarah Palin is a true American who tells it like it is and as such she deserves recognition. Unfortunately, she’s been getting unfair treatment in the national press.
There is an organization dedicated to promoting truthfulness in the network news, and it’s called Citizens United for Network Truthfulness, otherwise known as C.U.N……well, our abbreviated name is unfortunate under the circumstances, but please allow me to proceed.
I’d like to take this opportunity to say that Sarah Palin exemplifies what we’re all about here at the Citizens United for Network Truth. As such, we would like to bestow upon her the C.U.X.T. award for integrity, and make her a C.U.X.T. member in good standing for life.

Hey Robin, if Palin “jumped off a Bridge” not only would I cheer, I’d give a friggin STANDING OVATION ! Do you not get what a Danger this woman is to our way of life.Either your blinded by your hopes of having a woman,any woman in the white house or you are woefully uninformed. In either case no one feels sorry for this NUT JOB !

I don’t know when I’ve read such stupid remarks. I don’t believe for one minute Govenor Palin has overstepped her boundaries. Biden got asked some tough questions by a anchor in Orlando now Obama camp says no more interviews. Good grief people if you don’t ask the easy questions praising and stroking them he’ll probably have them shut down. Everything I’ve seen from the Obama camp has been negative. Look what they’ve done to Joe the plumber and Sarah Palin and Cindy McCain. Read and watch and study before you vote for Obama. We will have no rights since he will have a democratic house and senate. Just think Barney Frank will be taking everything we have and just print more money to pay for everything. I don’t know when I’ve seen such STUPID people running our country. Just remember Nancy Pelosi is second in line, if that doesn’t scare you then you’re past help.

I don’t like her. I am quite conservative and when the chances of having Clinton or McCain was a possibility, I supported McCain. But this “lady” scares me. As one Republic analyst puts it “she filibusters”. She has nothing of substance to say. I will never forgive McCain for chosing her and bringing her to the national arena. She is here to stay now. She is the embodiment of everything that is wrong with America and everything that is corrupt in politicians.

Everyone is an ego. EVERYONE only wants not to be destroyed. Palin is the same. No different.
McCain is the same, no different and so is Schmidt.
From the perspective of egos, there is no news here.
From the perspective of the incredibly uneducated, unwise, usual person, watching Entertainment Tonight, this is ‘interesting’.
Even the relatively liberal, at least sane, 538.com
has simulations which show that Palin/McCain will win this election, just as things are, with no more spin, no more lies, no last day attacks by the Al-Quaida, no changes at all.
So let us not be too hasty to throw dirt on Palin’s grave. She may be the next president of these United States, even of Alaska.
No one knows what computer games the Diebold company has in store for us. No one knows the percentage of fundamentalists who will turn out and vote for someone like them, an interesting qualification for leader of the free world.
At least in England the people elect leaders who are smarter than they are.
Happy voting, everyone. Will there be a new record percentage turnout?
In Texas in the DEM primary, only 15% of registered voters, under the age of 26 voted, even though they had weeks to get around to it.

By the way, right after I heard her on her introduction to the world during the RNC is when I started to donate money to the Obama’s campaign. She is bad news for the country. The world is laughing at us because of her.

Joe the Plumber isnt a licensed plumber and owes back taxes and has liens against him.
Woman attacked by black man and was a lie.
Obama pals with terrorist.
Palin ready to step into the Oval office if needed. When will the lies stop.

Obama suppoRters get new information
Posted by: Update America
McCain was born in Colon, Panama, not the Canal Zone.
Look at HIS birth certificate.

The liberal media and the people will always find flaws with Governor Sarah Palin. People hate her because of her faith in Jesus Christ. She is truly a believer that practise her faith. No matter how she is mocked by people she could handle all the bad criticisms because her strength is coming from the one true God that many of the American people have forsaken. Morals don’t count anymore with many of the American people. God allows crises to happen to get you back to the Source of everything. My advise use your conscience and pray before you vote. Don’t be deceived.

I’m an Obama supporter.. but let me tell you:
nearly any woman who likes to think on her own is termed a diva by those who want control. any man who likes to think on his own is termed a fighter by those who want control.
If she is a reformer and rebel, then this battle against her own aides is a good thing.
Nope.. don’t get this negative press against her… and frankly enough negative press about her.. the cup has overfilled.

Calling Palin a fresh face in the GOP is like calling a drunk at a wedding party a free spirit. She is an example of the dumbing down of the GOP and American politics.

ABC is bias. You have supported Obama in your news and I think it is a shame that you don’t report the news and stop lying about John McCain and Sarah Palin.
How much does Obama pay for his clothes. If he is SO, interested in our finances why doesn’t he donate some of the money given to him for his campaign back to the government???
Have you check his sexual preference??
Does he have an American birth certificate? There is no original??
What about his underworld friends who support his campaign and one on his way to prison..
He has ZERO experience.. Why would he be critical of Sarah Palin’s experience..?? She is experienced in Government and will serve us well.
WHAT about ACORN????
This is a disgrace that the Democratic party would support a man like OBAMA..
That show’s what kind of morals they have.
SINCE WHEN, is it a problem with you people when a person is a CHRISTIAN??
You may find out when we go to the polls.
I think the Kennedy’s who support OBAMA
have shown what kind of morals they have. What about the pregnant woman Ted Kennedy drove into the water and drown.
Do you really believe the American people listen to the Kennedy’s. LOL
No wonder ABC has bad rating’s.

I cannot believe the venom against Palin. Obviously it proves what the Democrats are made of. No respect, no brains. Are you that afraid of a woman that all of you try to crucify her? It sounds like that

McCain made a mistake in not carefully vetting his choice for VP. He mistakenly thought he’d reap a benefit of the disgruntled Hillary voters. As if a woman would vote for another woman simply based on gender. Maybe that’s something an older man would do? Indeed, Palin is most unpopular with woman! Now they are stuck. Palin is unprepared, they did not understand how to minimize her liabilities because they did not have time to anticipate them. Of course, her primary liability is her horrible personality. The reason woman don’t like her is because she doesn’t approach problems like a woman. She approaches them like a man. But she pretends that doesn’t. And the result isn’t pretty.

McCain’s presidency is over. Blame games have started:
1. Media bias … Not fair … (But never explain WHY media are bias and not fair to McCain)
2. Finger pointing: You, You, You …
3. Bush is BAD and he drags down the campaign…
4. Palin is bad …
5. Palin is controlled …
What else?

The thought of Sarah Palin running in 2012 tells me its either the American people are sick or the woman herself has down syndrome.

hhfarm, yeah we noticed. ABC SUCKS. It should be known as ABCBAMA.COM

The mere thought of Sarah Palin running in 2012 tells me that its either the American people themselves are sick in the head or the woman herself has developed down syndrome

Update America:
Obama supporters fear Governor Sarah Palin more than fearing John McCain. Everyone can analyze the Obama supporters fear by the day after day defamatory remarks. Obama supporters know Governor Sarah Palin can bring down Obama.
Obama supporters do not want to show you the real Obama because he shows a person that is not acceptable to be President of the United States. Yet, Obama supporters will dwell on every detail about Governor Sarah Palin. Obama supporters’ great fear shows by the disgraceful language and the off color remarks that are on every post on every blog. The truth always hurts and Obama hurts every time someone tells the whole truth about him.
Governor Linda of Hawaii says the nation wouldn’t be safe under Obama (says Obama “touts” he is from Hawaii)
Lingle, though, repeatedly framed the presidential election in terms of the physical safety of Americans and painted Obama as a mysterious figure who is uncomfortable with leadership.
She said voting for Obama would put the safety of the country’s children in the “hands of someone we hardly know.” (She also added that despite Obama’s touting he is from Hawaii, she has never met him and he has “never called me on the phone.”)
Ultimately, the country judges the president by how he deals with the unexpected, Lingle said, and Obama “is not a person who will make the tough calls.”
That says it all and there is no need to post any returns because whatever Obama supporters have to say is not worth one penny to read.

McCain just said that he will win this election and he dismisses all the stupid polls. Media, please check your poll methods and change them so that McCain will win. According to McCain you are all dead wrong! This just shows how stupid all the polls are, and how smart McCain is! Overall, only McCain knows the truth! You all are stupid! Check with McCain for the new polling method. Simple test rule:
If your poll shows Obama is winning, it is WRONG, if your poll shows McCain is winning, you are CORRECT! Simple.

So it was really no surprise when papers like The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The LA Times came out for Obama for president — but the Anchorage Daily News? Governor Sarah Palin lost the endorsement of her hometown paper – Alaska’s biggest newspaper.
The paper recognized the fact that “for the first time ever, an Alaskan is making a serious bid for national office” and all the attention that comes along with it. But – and a huge but – “it does not overwhelm all other judgment.”
The editors argue that John McCain is “the wrong choice” because of his reaction (or lack thereof) to the economic crisis and his embrace of “the extreme Republican orthodoxy he once resisted” in Karl Rove-style politics.

Obama supporters who trashed Palin from day one are ranting about her wardrobe and other petty matters, while an anti-American Socialist / Marxist racist is about to highjack our government, with the help of voter fraud, and a corrupt biased media. You’d better wake up America … or, this country is about to experience an ugly 4 year long nightmare under Obama/Biden !!!

If McCain had picked a man for his VP, we would not even be discussing this. This is sexism to the extreme. The “caribou barbie” and “moose lady” and many other names didn’t work, so now we turn to an “anonymous” campaign worker who calls her a Diva.
The only people who are buying this are the liberal Obama supporters who saw her as a threat, and slandered her from the very beginning.
Let’s see, Biden uses Botox, has hairplugs and says he’s the smartest guy in the room.
Obama and Biden cut off reporters who ask them tough questions.
It is clear cut that Obama and Biden are the Diva’s!

McCain camp fear Governor Sarah Palin image more than fearing Obama. Everyone can analyze the McCain camp fear by the day after day infighting remarks. McCain camp know Governor Sarah Palin has brought down this election and she is busy running around restlessly appealing for 2012 trial run .
McCain camp do not want to show you the real Sarah Palin (whom we already know anyway) because she shows a person that is not acceptable to be a Vice President of the United States. Yet, McCain camp will dwell on every detail about Barack Obama. McCain camp great fear shows by the disgraceful language, lies, charges and the off color remarks that are on every post on every blog. The truth always hurts and McCain camp hurts themselves every time someone tells the whole truth about their erratic, irrational insane candidates.

Posted by: S Adams —————————-Now we want to make it a sexism thing? Or at least you do. If Palin was a man she probably would have been torn apart at the VP debate. You saying Palin is being on because of sexism is just a way to blame people for not agreeing with her on policy or readiness and a lot of her problems were created by herself.

Palin made her reputation shaking up the Republican party more then the opposition party. I am glad to see her shaking up the RNC. They need it! Go Sarah! get on into DC and do the same there!

S Adams, the ONLY reason McCain picked Palin is because she IS female. DUH. That IS sexism, dude. She wasn’t picked for her qualifications, that’s pretty obvious.
Men generally don’t get what sexism really is. How could they? They’re MEN!
Men don’t really have any business spouting off about sexism when they are the ones guilty of practicing it.
And if you are woman, S Adams, then shame on you.

Palins IQ is borderline retarded.
Now, if McCain dies, big if, he becomes prez, and then dies, you want someone in office that has no clue about running this great country? No clue what a vp does? Cannot answer a question.
My God, miss piggy could do a hell of a better job dontcha no?
If McCain cannot decide on a great vp, how is he going to make any rational decision if voted to the white house?
If I can see outer space from my home, does that mean I am an expert on space exploration?
I thought the U S was done with the dumbing down with the Bush administration.
Stupid People Unite!
Your leader has arrived,
Welcome Sarah Palin.

Many people are looking for any excuse to not vote Republican this time around-not really an endorsement of Obama and his ideas.
Many others are looking to not help Obama win-not really an endorsement for McCain and his ideas.
That seems to be what this election is mostly about.

Let’s get real about who Obama is??

To Tomconten:
Good point there. Too much negative press
about a breakaway ‘Diva’ or ‘rebel’ like Palin may be appealing. She might just crank up a bit of support.
Not from Democratic women though.
I take it the ‘thinking democrat’ did
read the New York Times article where
Sandra Bernhard announced that if Sarah
Palin visited Manhatten, New York, then Sandra and her ‘black brothers” would…..censored. :-)

McCain/Palin ticket is a bad taste.

It is not uncommon for an elected official to become caught up in some illegal or unethical ‘gate’ after being elected…it much more rare that they get elected with the investigation in progress. Palin brings at least two investigations with her already. Seems the Republican Party is outdoing themselves with their nomination of Palin. Imagine, if Palin is elected VP, she will believe that she is being rewarded for her behavior. At GWB put it after the 2004 election, “I now have a mandate” though only just eeking out a victory over Kerry. Palin will make a mockery of the VP role and position. I’m concerned, even frightened that her ‘maverick’ style will break laws and she’ll hide behind her ‘maverick’ ways and say, “I have a mandate from the people”. Independents, (I’m one myself) should be shying away from any endoresment of this candidate. I perceive her as dangerous and self serving.

Our economy has ben setup for implosion. If you want your darling Obama to take the fall for it by all means vote for him on election day, he will not serve more than one term. See Al Gore’s run in 200 for details. Or perhaps Jimmy Carter’s 1st term is a far more apt comparison.

KHO LEE>…too much kool-aide there. The only infighting that is going on is in CNN’s newroom over who is going to throw the next piece of meat to the masses and watch’em run. See how you did? CNN, ABC< MSNBC all are in the tank for BHO.

What Republicans fail to acknowledge is that the woman has not had 1 single press conference!!! NOT ONE!! That is unprecedented!! Of course the media is going to publish whatever they get from her or people around her!!
I still don’t know who she really is. Yes, there’s been a lot of negative talk about her, she can read a speech, but… that’s it. I need the media to go through in detail where she stands on certain issues and why.
If she can’t handle a press conference, what makes you think she can handle anything related to her role?

Of course Palin is looking out for her own career! She’s just gotten a small taste of being this close to the TOP. So now that’s she’s gotten a taste of that she of course would like to go all the way. Maybe one day Sarah, but not now. The American people are not ready for you right now. And furthermore, you are not ready to handle the mess that is in front of this country right now. Let the intelligent guy take the lead for now, and your turn may come later.

Burn The Whole House Down!!!
Hey, Sarah P: Take them all (Bush, McCain, Cheney, Rove, Liddy, Libby, Rumsfield, Rudy, etc.) down with ya.
Look at the evidence, these good ole boys were never your friends, they always planned for you to be the SCAPEGOAT.

Not surprised … true colors apppearing
A Letter About Sarah Palin from Anne Kilkenny 09 2008
This letter has been circulating for a couple days now, and I thought I’d post it in full for those who haven’t had a chance to read it. One of the best ways to become informed about local politics is by attending city council/assembly meetings. I know this from mind-numbing, clock-staring, experience. There’s no substitute for butt-in-the-chair observation, no matter how awful it is to sit for hours on end listening to a bunch of bloviating local politicians. But it’s difficult not to show who you are.
This letter is written by someone who knows Sarah Palin, lives in Wasilla, and has city council lurker cred. (There ought to be a badge for that.) I think that babygate is on the way out of the news cycle, and the next aspect of her life to come under scrutiny will be her tenure as mayor. This is a good place to start. And thanks to Anne Kilkenny for speaking out.
Wasilla is a small town. It takes a certain amount of conviction and downright bravery to lay it all out there like this. So a hat tip and a big sweeping bow to Anne.
I am a resident of Wasilla, Alaska. I have known Sarah since 1992.
Everyone here knows Sarah, so it is nothing special to say we are on a
first-name basis. Our children have attended the same schools. Her
father was my child’s favorite substitute teacher. I also am on a
first name basis with her parents and mother-in-law. I attended more
City Council meetings during her administration than about 99% of the
residents of the city.
She is enormously popular; in every way she’s like the most popular girl in middle school. Even men who think she is a poor choice and won’t vote for her can’t quit smiling when talking about her because she is a “babe”.
It is astonishing and almost scary how well she can keep a secret. She kept her most recent pregnancy a secret from her children and parents for seven months.
She is “pro-life”. She recently gave birth to a Down’s syndrome baby.
There is no cover-up involved, here; Trig is her baby.
She is energetic and hardworking. She regularly worked out at the gym. She is savvy. She doesn’t take positions; she just “puts things out there” and if they prove to be popular, then she takes credit.
Her husband works a union job on the North Slope for BP and is a champion snowmobile racer. Todd Palin’s kind of job is highly sought-after because of the schedule and high pay. He arranges his work schedule so he can fish for salmon in Bristol Bay for a month or
so in summer, but by no stretch of the imagination is fishing their major source of income. Nor has her life-style ever been anything like that of native Alaskans.
Sarah and her whole family are avid hunters. She’s smart. Her experience is as mayor of a city with a population of about 5,000(at the time), and less than 2 years as governor of a state with about 670,000 residents.
During her mayoral administration most of the actual work of running this small city was turned over to an administrator. She had been pushed to hire this administrator by party power-brokers after she had gotten herself into some trouble over precipitous firings which had given rise to a recall campaign.
Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as “fiscal conservative”. During her 6 years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over 33%. During those same 6 years the amount of taxes collected by the City increased by 38%. This was during a period of low inflation(1996-2002). She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a regressive sales tax which taxed even food. The tax cuts that she
promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they
benefited residents.
The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration
weren’t enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed money was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million. What did Mayor Palin encourage the voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she said
she supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? or a
new library? No. $1m for a park. $15m-plus for construction of a multi-use sports complex which she rushed through to build on a piece of property that the City didn’t even have clear title to, that was still in litigation 7 yrs later–to the delight of the lawyers
involved! The sports complex itself is a nice addition to the community but a huge money pit, not the profit-generator she claimed it would be.
She also supported bonds for $5.5m for road projects that could have been done in 5-7 yrs without any borrowing.
While Mayor, City Hall was extensively remodeled and her office redecorated more than once. These are small numbers, but Wasilla is a very small city.
As an oil producer, the high price of oil has created a budget surplus
in Alaska. Rather than invest this surplus in technology that will
make us energy independent and increase efficiency, as Governor she proposed distribution of this surplus to every individual in the state.
In this time of record state revenues and budget surpluses, she recommended that the state borrow/bond for road projects, even while she proposed distribution of surplus state revenues: spend today’s surplus, borrow for needs.
She’s not very tolerant of divergent opinions or open to outside ideas
or compromise. As Mayor, she fought ideas that weren’t generated by her or her staff. Ideas weren’t evaluated on their merits, but on the basis of who proposed them.
While Sarah was Mayor of Wasilla she tried to fire our highly respected
City Librarian because the Librarian refused to consider removing from
the library some books that Sarah wanted removed. City residents rallied to the defense of the City Librarian and against Palin’s attempt at out-and-out censorship, so Palin backed down and withdrew her termination letter. People who fought her attempt to oust the Librarian are on her enemies list to this day.
Sarah complained about the “old boy’s club” when she first ran for Mayor, so what did she bring Wasilla? A new set of “old boys”.
Palin fired most of the experienced staff she inherited. At the City and as
Governor she hired or elevated new, inexperienced, obscure people, creating a staff totally dependent on her for their jobs and eternally grateful and fiercely loyal–loyal to the point of abusing their power to further her personal agenda, as she has acknowledged happened in the
case of pressuring the State’s top cop (see below).
As Mayor, Sarah fired Wasilla’s Police Chief because he “intimidated” her, she told the press. As Governor, her recent firing of Alaska’s top cop has the ring of familiarity about it. He served at her pleasure and she had every legal right to fire him, but it’s pretty clear that an important factor in her decision to fire him was because he wouldn’t fire her sister’s ex-husband, a State Trooper.
Under investigation for abuse of power, she has had to admit that more than 2 dozen contacts were made between her staff and family to the person that she
later fired, pressuring him to fire her ex-brother-in-law. She tried to replace the man she fired with a man who she knew had been reprimanded for sexual harassment; when this caused a public furor, she withdrew her support.
She has bitten the hand of every person who extended theirs to her in help. The City Council person who personally escorted her around town introducing her to voters when she first ran for Wasilla City Council became one of her first targets when she was later elected Mayor.
She abruptly fired her loyal City Administrator; even people who didn’t
like the guy were stunned by this ruthlessness.
Fear of retribution has kept all of these people from saying anything
publicly about her.
When then-Governor Murkowski was handing out political plums, Sarah got
the best, Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission: one of the few jobs not in Juneau and one of the best paid. She had no background in oil & gas issues. Within months of scoring this great job which paid $122,400/yr, she was complaining in the press about the high salary.
I was told that she hated that job: the commute, the structured hours, the work. Sarah became aware that a member of this Commission (who was also the State Chair of the Republican Party)
engaged in unethical behavior on the job. In a gutsy move which some
undoubtedly cautioned her could be political suicide, Sarah solved all
her problems in one fell swoop: got out of the job she hated and garnered gobs of media attention as the patron saint of ethics and as a gutsy fighter against the “old boys’ club” when she dramatically quit,exposing this man’s ethics violations (for which he was fined).
As Mayor, she had her hand stuck out as far as anyone for pork from Senator Ted Stevens. Lately, she has castigated his pork-barrel politics and publicly humiliated him. She only opposed the “bridge to nowhere” after it became clear that it would be unwise not to.
As Governor, she gave the Legislature no direction and budget guidelines, then made a big grandstand display of line-item vetoing projects, calling them pork.
Public outcry and further legislative
action restored most of these projects–which had been vetoed simply because she was not aware of their importance–but with the unobservant she had gained a reputation as “anti-pork”.
She is solidly Republican: no political maverick. The State party leaders hate her because she has bit them in the back and humiliated them. Other members of the party object to her self-description as a fiscal conservative.
Around Wasilla there are people who went to high school with Sarah. They call her “Sarah Barracuda” because of her unbridled ambition and predatory ruthlessness. Before she became so powerful, very ugly stories circulated around town about shenanigans she pulled to be made point guard on the high school basketball team. When sarah’s mother-in-law, a highly respected member of the community and
experienced manager, ran for Mayor, Sarah refused to endorse her.
As Governor, she stepped outside of the box and put together of package of legislation known as “AGIA” that forced the oil companies to march to the beat of her drum.
Like most Alaskans, she favors drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge. She has questioned if the loss of sea ice is linked to global warming. She campaigned “as a private citizen” against a state initiaitive that would have either a) protected salmon streams from pollution from mines, or b) tied up in the courts all mining in the
state (depending on who you listen to). She has pushed the State’s lawsuit against the Dept. of the Interior’s decision to list polar bears as threatened species.
McCain is the oldest person to ever run for President; Sarah will be a
heartbeat away from being President.
There has to be literally millions of Americans who are more knowledgeable and experienced than she.
However, there’s a lot of people who have underestimated her and are
regretting it.
CLAIM VS FACT
•“Hockey mom”: true for a few years
•“PTA mom”: true years ago when her first-born was in elementary
school, not since
•“NRA supporter”: absolutely true
•social conservative: mixed. Opposes gay marriage, BUT vetoed a bill
that would have denied benefits to employees in same-sex relationships
(said she did this because it was unconsitutional).
•pro-creationism: mixed. Supports it, BUT did nothing as Governor to
promote it.
•“Pro-life”: mixed. Knowingly gave birth to a Down’s syndrome baby
BUT declined to call a special legislative session on some pro-life
legislation
•“Experienced”: Some high schools have more students than Wasilla has
residents. Many cities have more residents than the state of Alaska.
No legislative experience other than City Council. Little hands-on
supervisory or managerial experience; needed help of a city
administrator to run town of about 5,000.
•political maverick: not at all
•gutsy: absolutely!
•open & transparent: ??? Good at keeping secrets. Not good at
explaining actions.
•has a developed philosophy of public policy: no
•”a Greenie”: no. Turned Wasilla into a wasteland of big box stores
and disconnected parking lots. Is pro-drilling off-shore and in ANWR.
•fiscal conservative: not by my definition!
•pro-infrastructure: No. Promoted a sports complex and park in a city
without a sewage treatment plant or storm drainage system. Built
streets to early 20th century standards.
•pro-tax relief: Lowered taxes for businesses, increased tax burden on
residents
•pro-small government: No. Oversaw greatest expansion of city
government in Wasilla’s history.
•pro-labor/pro-union. No. Just because her husband works union
doesn’t make her pro-labor. I have seen nothing to support any claim
that she is pro-labor/pro-union.
WHY AM I WRITING THIS?
First, I have long believed in the importance of being an informed
voter. I am a voter registrar. For 10 years I put on student voting
programs in the schools. If you google my name (Anne Kilkenny +
Alaska), you will find references to my participation in local
government, education, and PTA/parent organizations.
Secondly, I’ve always operated in the belief that “Bad things happen
when good people stay silent”. Few people know as much as I do because
few have gone to as many City Council meetings.
Third, I am just a housewife. I don’t have a job she can bump me out
of. I don’t belong to any organization that she can hurt. But, I am no
fool; she is immensely popular here, and it is likely that this will
cost me somehow in the future: that’s life.
Fourth, she has hated me since back in 1996, when I was one of the 100
or so people who rallied to support the City Librarian against Sarah’s
attempt at censorship.
Fifth, I looked around and realized that everybody else was afraid to
say anything because they were somehow vulnerable.
CAVEATS
I am not a statistician. I developed the numbers for the increase in
spending & taxation 2 years ago (when Palin was running for Governor)
from information supplied to me by the Finance Director of the City of
Wasilla, and I can’t recall exactly what I adjusted for: did I adjust
for inflation? for population increases? Right now, it is impossible
for a private person to get any info out of City Hall–they are
swamped. So I can’t verify my numbers.
You may have noticed that there are various numbers circulating for the
population of Wasilla, ranging from my “about 5,000″, up to 9,000. The
day Palin’s selection was announced a city official told me that the
current population is about 7,000. The official 2000 census count was
5,460. I have used about 5,000 because Palin was Mayor from 1996 to
2002, and the city was growing rapidly in the mid-90’s.

With her Born Agin Barbie look and her eighty three IQ Palin has half the IQ Hillary Clinton has. She’s a white trash wannabe.No wonder Caribou Barbie relates to the uneducated Rednecks,Biblethumpers and other Rightwing racist inbreds. No moderate or Independent person with a brain would ever vote for Caribou Barbie who speaks in forked tongues,has a witch doctor mentor and believes Adm and Eve had pet dinosauers.Her family is like the Bundies.Unwed pregnant teenage daughter with her unemployed boyfriend.

Why is anyone surprise that Sarah Palin is out for herself? How can the McCain camp act surprise?
This is the same governor who had her own people do the troopergate investigation to no where.
This is the same governor who claimed to tell Congress thanks but no thanks to the money for that bridge to no where, but she kept the money anyway and built that Road to no where which no one on that Island in Alaska can use because that Road goes no where. But in the mean time there are other roads on that same Island in need of desperate repair.
So why act surprise?

Maybe the RNC and the McCain camp should of used that $150,000 to send Palin to an etiquette school instead.
Too bad they just wasted that $150,000 on her physical appearance and dumb hairdo.

The McCain camp and the RNC forgot to tell Governor Sarah Palin that she is not the one on the top of the ticket.
Sarah Palin forgot that she is not running for President, but for the VP.
John McCain had a host of candidates to pick for his VP who were not only better qualified, but also knew the rules for running as a VP.
John McCain, always making bad choices.

Paul_in_Vanc: I bet your fingers are tired. The problem is the gullible American women in this country are jealous of Sarah Palin. They can’t understand how it feels to be as beautiful and intelligent as Sarah, and they hate her for those reasons alone. She really should be considered royalty compared to you all common people anyway. She is more patriotic than any woman I know and more about helping the Republican Party than any other woman. I know you men are jealous that your wives can’t be like her too!

no – why do you think all the media is supporting Obama? They are afraid not to. If he is elected he will shut down anyone who was against him. He’s already after Sean Hannity because he has exposed all of Obamas’ radical associations. Get ready cause that ain’t all he’s gonna do. Better think people cause there gonna be some changes made and they ain’t good. Sorry for such negativity but truth is truth.

Sarah Palin may be beautiful, she may be smart, she certainly is a dynamic personality…but it takes years of understanding policy and diplomacy to take on the job she wants. I know ever so many women in my everyday life who are also all those things..that does not qualify them to be vice president. Please, when you vote, think about who is going to represent us to the world. Sarah has not done her homework, has not learned yet what the VP’s job is…

Sarah is like the John Gotti of Alaska, you keep dodging the charges for a while but eventually the people you pissed off and laughed at finally put the spike through your heart!
I do believe she is smart but in a deceptive and criminal sort of way. She has only been on the national stage a month and look at all the negatives that have have come out about her.
1. Troopergate.
2. Using state money for her and her chldrens expenses while on personnel business.
3. Billing the state for lodging expenses for 200 nights that she actually stayed at home.
4. Road to nowhere.
5. Pipeline to nowhere – this will do her in. The contact bidding process was structured in such a way that only her and her aides closest friends and formed business associate could win. Blatant fraud here. She will get driven out of office when this blows open.
6. Baby Trig. This is not her child it is Bristols. No way will Sarahs medical records be released, mark my words on this!

Palin is like a girl you pick up at a bar when you’re drunk, have the most marvelous night with, then wake up the next morning and realize she’s a vacuous bimbo with an annoying voice, but it’s too late, she has your number. Republicans are denying her in droves. She’s patently ignorant and vehemently defends her own stupidity. She lies constantly; “Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine?” “In what respect, Charlie?” Not “what’s the Bush Doctrine?” But trying to cover her ignorance with lies. “What newspapers and magazines do you read?” “Oh, all of them.” That’s why she’s energized the Repug party.

Ah, the morons are out in full force with their hate and anger. No the Republican Party should not have ordered all those nice clothes for Sarah. They should have sent her to Goodwill Industries and had her select lime green polyester pantsuits so she would look like Hillary Clinton. She should have gone to law school so she could be like those two (Obama and Biden) sleazy hack lawyers. Part 1. Caio! wwterry

It must be very easy for all the witless out there that let the MainStreamMedia make all their decisions. I can not help but compare this election to the Dan Quayle campaign a few years ago. Quayle misspells a word and was crucified for it. Obama comments that he is about to visit the last state (number 58) and for some reason he is just fine.
The MSM decided that Quayle was a loser, based on real substance ( not ) and now the MSM has decided that Palin is also a loser, based on real substance ( not). The MSM spent more effort “vetting” Palin in the 2 weeks following her selection, than they did with Obama in the entire election.
Then McCain is criticized because he is too negative. If the MSM was not so busy enjoying the “thrill up their leg”, maybe they could spend a little more time reporting the story instead of directing it. If the MSM had spent any time “vetting” Obama, the election would be between Hillary and McCain.
If there is a loser among is, it the voters who are letting the MSM do all their thinking for them. Then again, we are all losers,we no longer have a free press. Just a marketing arm for the liberal agenda.
The MSM decided the Quale was a loser, based on real substance ( not ) and now the MSM has decided that Palin is also a loser, based on real substance ( not).
If there is a loser amoung is, it the votes who are letting the MSM do all their thinking for them.

Even though I have nothing good to say about Palin, she is not my cup of tea…I will say that the McCain camp has not done her any favors. They have treated her more Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle in “My Fair Lady”…teaching her how to speak and how to dress. It is amazing. This woman managed to get elected the gov of Alaska, she probably would have been just fine if the campaign had not decided to unfurl in two long interviews.
Obama/Biden 08

give em hell Sarah P

When will people grasp there is no liberal media.There is corporate media,that’s it. It is about the money in the industry.

Bottom line on Palin is she is going to look 4 years older in 2012 and the GOP won’t give her the time of day.

~ See Palin is good for the country can’t you see all the people laughing at her? She is an Huge Joke Walking much less when she speaks ~ You BETCHA~

at first, sarah was a fresh face to pump up the GOP but she’s turned out to be another hillary-conniving, deceitful, selfish

Sorry, Sarah — your 15 minutes of fame are about used up. But maybe there’s a place on SNL for you next season, except you’ll have to trim that clothing budget a bit…

OBAMA THE CHEATER – Let me count the ways,,ACORN, BROKEN PUBLIC FINANCING PLEDGE, CORRUPT FUND RAISING. Thats right folks, and he claims to be the ” transformational candidate” Funny how the obama media doesnt question obama fundraising, or the ACORN front group contribution of 800,000.00, but would rather demand answers about Sarah Palins wardrobe. Media has no credibility. Its over.

The Anchorage Daily News, Alaska’s largest and independent newspaper endorses Obama for President!

Let’s get this over with so Caribou Barbie can go back to Alaska and face the wrath of the public who have finally figured out what she’s all about–HERSELF ONLY! Keep this woman out of office now and in the future.

2012 is not 2008 and who knows where this country will be at that time…who would have thought in 2004 that America would be in the deep mess we are in right now.However, if Palin plans on having a national career, she is going to have to learn to speak to issues that concern more than just the base. It is easy to preach to the choir…but she needs to learn to reach those that are not in her “choir”. If McCain loses, she will be blamed for the loss heavily and that is sad, because McCain would probably have lost all by himself without her. If they do manage to win and all this backbiting infighting within the campaign is true, we as Americans are in for a rough four years. ;-)

To the person who wrote this :
Sarah Palin may be beautiful, she may be smart, she certainly is a dynamic personality…but it takes years of understanding policy and diplomacy to take on the job she wants. I know ever so many women in my everyday life who are also all those things..that does not qualify them to be vice president. Please, when you vote, think about who is going to represent us to the world. Sarah has not done her homework, has not learned yet what the VP’s job is…

You might wanna use the same critique for Obama …..”it takes years to learn but understanding policy and diplomacy to take on the job she/he wants” you said it now tell me please what would you consider obamas resume ????? state senate for 2 years ???? I hate to tell you but Sarah Palin has more experience aand knowledge than Obama …. The only difference between them is Obama has speeches wrote for him and has a unique talent of putting a spin on anything negative. And as far as Sarah needs to understand what a VP does you again may want to look at your VP canidate because in the VP debate Biden didn’t know much about either ..and has admitted that it has been a while on his foreign policy skills …It was also Biden who made the remark That Obama will be tested in the first 6 months and asked supporters to stand by them as they may not make the right decision. So please check your facts !!!!!!!!!!!
In case anyone hasn’t noticed the media has TRASHED HER and I personally find it hard to believe that the media does trash her but that ALL YOU WOMEN out there Fall for it . think if they treat her like that there will never be a woman who will be taken serious for the role of VP or President . Stand up for WOMEN .

sarah Palin is totally energizing women, and independants all across the country. You people relying n the liberal media for news, and their cherry picked polls would never know that though.

These “journalism” had me thinking I had logged onto “The National Enquirer”….but no, actually to my disbelief…it is ABC…or is it “The ABC Enquirer”????

Republican ploy!! Seems they are trying to make her appear good now?? Sorry too late. This lady is dangerous and quite scary. Too much solid documented evidence against her. Real despicable this story is being pushed!!

The one good thing about this election and all the garbage being thrown around, I only watch FOX news, cooking shows, animal shows, etc. I will not go to the movies or rent/buy a DVD, watch anything with a so called actor in it. I have given up the newspapers and only read novels. My life has become very peaceful. My only hope is that when Mobama curtails all the news media to fit his agenda you all don’t cry about it…..its coming……..

I’m really curious to see what is so secretive in her health records. mccain needs to pick out one of his 9 houses and retire quietly on Nov. 5th. palin can then head back up north where she belongs. I do think she will have trouble getting re-elected as govenor. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

If Sarah Palin only scares the life out of liberals, then why are so many high profile conservatives jumping ship because of her? Seems like she is scarying the life out of a lot of her own also. The largest newspaper in Alaska (her own territory) has just announced their support of Obama. Face it, she is a very selfish and meanspirited woman. I really wanted to be impressed with her, but she is too quick to fight nasty and that’s not a good thing. If the McCain ticket wins, I can see her causing a lot of negative chaos in Washington on many levels due to her desire to have things her way regardless of what the majority wants – EVEN MCCAIN – her boss. She is trouble people – trust me. I am a 50 year old woman that can see right through it all.

Sue……she already did, and missed miserably. Your claws are showing. Lend her some more!

In a couple weeks we all will witness one of the closest elections in US history. I only hope if Obama wins it aint because of tactics like Acorns. We practical mavericks can handle a biased media but not stealing a fair election. Watch your step you nutjobs!

This is the kind of story the media likes to write whenever they get the chance, ie when a campaign is low in the polls. All these wonderful anonymous sources “close to the candidates.” Why would any real aide betray their employer by spreading such gossip?

On second thought, the idea that the RNC and MCcain advisors did not think enough of Palin and her clothing tastes, much less her hair and make up that they needed to bring in hollywood glam police to make her over.
Its a shame when their message was that she was a refreshing change, but then they want someone to fit into their spoon fed expensive appetizers at the K Street Country Club.

Come on, Shelley – Palin makes herself a hit piece every time she opens her mouth!

fsteele – simple – people just plain want to jump from a sinking ship! AND, do not forget alll of the conservatives who are endorsing Senator Obama. Congrssional members, journalists, former aides to Bush – YEP! The ship is sinking and everyone is wanting to climb into another ship with a strong sail and a captain at the wheel who knows where he is going. McCain’s campaign is in shambles, his VP is throwing the anchor overboard so the ship sinks faster, and the McCain/Palin ship is quickly sinking to the bottom.

What kind of campaign are they running. They are constantly in attack mode, even against each other

I was watching the news today and heard Sarah Palin making a stomp speech where she says “I’m a Redneck and proud of it”. Does she know the actual definition of the word Redneck. It is an uneducated white farm laborer, esp. from the South.
2. a bigot or reactionary, esp. from the rural working class.
–adjective 3. Also, red-necked. narrow, prejudiced, or reactionary: a redneck attitude.
I CAN’T REALLY BELIEVE SHE IS PROUD OF THAT. Does this woman have rock for a brain or is she really just this stupid? Someone please answer my question. Thank you.

you people are incredible. She has been called so many names it unbelievable. And women dont seem to get how sexist this is… Well if Obama wins, I hope all the obama voters will be happy and glad with there choice, since they paid to get him in.. I just wish Obama was called as many names as palin, Oh wait, we couldnt do that, then it would be a racist issue and there would be jessie Jackson or Al sharpton, Hum lets see who stands up for women, Guess we need a Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson

I can’t believe the partisan blindness of you desperate McCain/Bush dead-enders! Whining about how unfair the media is to your candidate, because they ask Palin to answer hardballs like ‘What newspapers do you read?’ and ‘What decisions have you made as commander of the Alaska National Guard’? How could anyone possibly be expected to answer questions like that? And, the nerve of the media to fail to report McCain’s latest lies, unfounded attacks and swift-boat attempts? It’s positively un-american to report anything but republican talking points, isn’t it? You hangers-on should grow up – the rest of the country has moved past you.

be very very afraid of sara palin. now she’s distancing herself from mccain. Hmn, shows an interest in future position of power? we already know that she probably won’t have much regard for the constitution. it appears she may want to ride the right wing conservative horse right into washington. be very afraid. German history, Irans history. it does not take much for extreme ideology to become normalized by the masses. be very afraid.

Sarah Palin is very cunning. She’s used her family, her church, her elected position to get this far. be very afraid. this is a woman that exhibits anti-social tendencies. Don’t let the smile and wink fool you. this woman is dangerous.

Sarah Palin is a politician doing what politicians do: Lying, lying and more lying.

Perhaps this is more newsworthy and relevant to our country than the unearthing today of Obama’s clear defense of socialism in a 2001 Chicago radio interview. Or maybe we should pay less attention to what has gone into Palin’s closet and more attention to what will come out of Obama’s closet. Before it’s too late.

Rethugs will not nominate Palin for President in ’12. She’s too extreme not to mention dumb & a racist.Then again this is the party of the murdering,lying Dubay.

The scariest thing about Sarah Palin is that she is so ignorant. I know that alot of folks think that Democrats are afraid of her, we’re not. We are definately afraid of another 4 years of a non-intellectual in the leadership positions of this country. So, sorry! Not afraid of Gov Palin or John McCain for that matter. I just know where their stupidity could take us if you let them have the reigns. As Thomas Jefferson said, “An informed electorate will right the wrongs…” If the low-information-voters that don’t bother to vet either parties claims end up casting the deciding votes, then that is truly something to be afraid of. Check out the other parties website and then use a ‘factcheck.org’ or some other non-partisan verifier. The truth will prevail if you can be honest with yourself. Obama-Biden 08

“Anonymous aides???” C’mon, how ridiculous. If these sources have to be anonymous, then they are not even credible to me.

This piece belongs in the “The National Enquirer”……not ABC….
Hammering the people with liberal biased reporting shows a lack of confidence in the discernment of voters…..we, the people, see the liberal agenda…and will make an informed decision with no help from them.

“Anonymous”??????????
MORE LIES!
Unsourced and anonymous leaks are LIES!

And to add insult to injury, Alaska’s largest newspaper has just endorsed Obama.

Bet you’re glad you picked Sarah as your running mate now, right Johnny? You betcha! LOL

Many people are taking the time to compare the two VP choices in light of the possibilities of them stepping into the presidency.
I could not believe Palin pulled in Hasselbeck to start whining about sexism again – does anybody else think it’s hysterical to hear about sexism from a woman who winks at her audience?
More power to her for making the most of her appearance (stilleto heels and pencil skirts) but she shouldn’t mistake that we women don’t know what that’s about and it certainly isn’t presidential professionalism.
Why are there no writeups on the Testosterone effect? The republicans have certainly been playing that up.

Palin realizes she’s hooked herself to a sinking boat in McCain. The GOP is all it’s idiocy attempted to outfit her in an expensive wardrobe effectively resulting in her being called a “diva”. Now Palin has to extract herself from the old man and the sinking good ole boy’s party and strike out on her own. It doesn’t matter how many gaffes Biden makes, the GOP is circling the toilet of its own political death.

Do you really think we could impeach Obama if he “got tested” as Biden is afraid of? Not likely…..we would have another civil war on our hands. Do you really think McCain is going to die in the next 4 years……probably not. Hummm…lets see, Obama who raised 66% of his campaign funds from the hedge funders, fredie and fannie,all those golden parachute CEO’s, oprah, special interests, the smirching mainstream media (who can’t understand why we say they are biased), goofy hollywood actors who think because they act we should vote the way they do, etc., and only 44% from “small contributions” when he claimed all his campaign money came from the general public …. or Palin who spent way too much on clothes to dress for success or CNN, Hollywood, ABC, CNBC, Time, all Obamas student and black voting base would find something to pick her over for if she dressed in less………..isn’t it strange that if McCain or Palin says something negative then they’re terrible and according to CNN it will backfire, yet look at all the nasty remarks you democrats spew out…and with such extreme, violent, hatred its spooky…..I guess that’s your version of being positive…..Oh, I forgot us Republicans are desperate…Whos the liar? Liarbama, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ..You Democrats seem to like the HA,HA stuff, you use it enough..shows your maturity.

I am tire of the liberal media always going after Gov. Palin. You look into OBAMA’S life. What happen during his time in the Illinois representation. Check to see how many times he took a decision. I read the senator’s governement website, I found how he votes. He has done nothing for us.
If he did not do anything while he could. What make people belief that he would do something greater now.
He is just a con-artist supporter by Hollywood and the BIAS media like ABC, CNN, NBC, AND MSNBC.
I read on Foxnews that some reporter dare to ask a question to Senator Biden regarding Obama’s Sharing the wealth comment. Biden got insulted and the Obama campaing suppress that news agency for getting near them. I think that is going to happen if Obama wins, the media that love him so much will be persecuted if dare to speak evil against him.

where is biden’s NEWEST ridiculous interview from the other day?? Whether or not you are voting for Biden’s ticket or not- which I am not- you have to acknowledge that if Palin said ANY of the ridiculous things he has gotten a pass for, the mainstream media would have magnified it so bad she might have had to drop from the race. The man actually said 14 blatant things that were not true in the debate and all i heard from the media is how many times Palin winked at cameras.

Anyone who does not think the media and polls aren’t biased should not be voting.
Just observe, watch, listen, learn.

If John McCain loses, she definitely contributed to his loss! Every time she opens her mouth, I cringe. What was John McCain thinking when he chose her? If he had chosen Mitt Romney as his running mate, I believe he could have won.

Palin on oil and ‘socialistic’ policy…
“We’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.”
Guess who? That’s right, it’s Palin, talking to the New Yorker during the summer (before being picked by McCain).

Hopefully the GOP base will raise Sarah Palin up as their leader in 2012. That will ensure the Republican party dies out for a generation or more.

nevada 2….don’t fret yourself on the liberals for being whatever. Focus on sending in some new materials for our Sarah Palin and Elisabeth Hasselback or Hasselfront. Don’t know the correct spelling of that hassel-something. Her voice sounds like an unwanted pig squeal on that campaign trail. She just as real as her bottle-blonde hair. What a pair, Sarah and Elisabeth.

Rose Szymanski….you’re so correct on that moose version. Even some of my GOP fundraiser from Texas labelled her as from “low couture.”

So funny. Liberals love to call republican”s haters. I”ve never seen anything like the hate for Palin. Please, if your a moderate.. Check out the news coming out today from an Obama 2001 interview. basically the Supreme Court should redistribute wealth. So scary. We”re in for it under Obama. He is no moderate

true blue, Palin was talking about sharing a natural resource with rest of country. Obama talks about taking my $ and give it to others. If you disagree, check out the news coming out today.

Sarah Palin was right and acted wisely in distrusting these unnamed “aides” and “advisors” who leak negative information to the press. Could we get a few names so we would have confidence in their and the authors credibility?
McCain/Palin

If they substituted Tina Fey (who would know? Other than the “real” Palin and Fey and I doubt Fey would tell) not only would the GOP have somebody who is “with it,” but also smart and funny -emphasis on the smart.
Go Tina!!! Might just give old creaky McCain a small fighting chance by actually having someone by his side (other than Cindy who is Barbie #2) who makes sense.

Who cares?

About this wardrobe thing that Palin won’t let go: The mistake they made was the sheer dollar amount spent to make over Palin. Nobody would complain if they spent $150 on a dress for her (like Michelle Obama does for herself and doing it very tastefully), or $100 for a hair job. But who in the world (besides Cindy McCain) spends $150,000 on clothes and makeup? I don’t even earn that much money for two years of hard work, and they blow it all in a couple of shopping trips?? And why the hell are taxpayers paying to dress up the First Dude and the kids … are they running for office and we just don’t know about it? Between this debacle and her unethical/illegal use of Alaskan taxpayer dollars to fund her family’s travel, shows this woman to be highly suspect when it comes to her personal ethics. We don’t need anyone that unethical, power-hungry and ignorant/uninterested in national and international affairs anywhere near the White House. Palin is going nowhere this election or the next, but back to Alaska.

Hey “Backass America” who writes your stuff, Karl Rove? Hope you choke on the food that you buy with the money that these traitors pay you…

hey jungle jim12321zero,
Can’t you at least even have some sort of pretense to your lies, some shred of truth in there somewhere? Your diarrhea-like observations are total fiction, not a sign of truth anywhere to be found.
Do you just make up stuff as you go along?

the jealous, envious, sexist low testerone men in the corporate media, instead of asking for Obama’s birth certificate(s) are diverting our exploited minds. the following is an example:
http://www.newsmax.com/kessler/obama_hawaii_plane/2008/10/26/144260.html

I have read much of the many responses of the topic at hand. I’m so so sick and tired of what I’m reading on both sides. “McCain”, “Palin”, “Obama”, “Biden”? Why? For so long, growing up, the Dems party was recognized as the party for the poor and GOP for the rich. It has torn the nation apart across those lines. The rich continue to get rich and look for ways to insure they remain rich. (off the back of who). With this election, there has been so many things said, and so many believing purposeful spoon fed portional snippets of info to solidify there message. Stop drinking the koolaid & flying blindly into the bright lights! There is no better need to have an equally balanced third party.
Now, as far as Ms. Palen, she entered on the national spot light after both sides fought hard primaries. The GOP, expected the nation to except only what they shared about who she is. Well, I didn’t know who she was, and was not willing to “drink the Koolaid”. There should have been questions. there should have been honest hard hitting questions of politcal points. Everyone was scrambling to get to know her including the media. The outcome of keeping her cloisted in a protective cacoon,by the GOP handlers, was there own decision. The results are obvious. I usually take the stance, if I don’t know about something, I won’t or can not talk about it. So yes I was thirsting for knowledge of her. In the end, the media was left researching what little info there was to gather from second hand resorces. She was running to be second in line to run the most powerful nation in our current civilization.
It is so scary, that we as a nation are always pitting one against another as to who is more patriotic or “real Americans”. As a baby, born into this world, I didn’t have a clue I was born an American. I feel fortunate that I was born into this nation. I now know and come to learn, America has met and overcome many things in her short history. None, which we overcome, was done devided. As long as I’ve been able to vote for presidential elections, when my guy didn’t win, I had the resolve to support the one who was voted into office up until the current one. America is at a very serious & dire time, which once again, whoever is in office must pull together to work through these hard times.
Sooooo, Natasha, Robin, Grand Ole Party,concerned America, & redneckbob…. if your not part of the solution, your part of the problem. Are we ready to fight for America, so there will be one for our returning troops!!!

I heard some good news for the McCain campaign today! The Oklahoman, the largest newspaper in Oklahoma, endorsed John McCain for president today! The Oklahoman’s subscribers number close to one million and their circulation covers the whole southwest. They are a major newspaper! This election is not over yet, not by a long shot! Go John and Sarah!

palin will disappear from politics quicker than anyone realizes, she’s WAY too far to the right, and too stupid to fool anyone. Besides she just doesn’t have the horsepower upstairs to be in any position of consequence. i’d be surprised if her political career lasts past one term as AK gov. Bye bye honey !!!

Great website

Wait a sec: Nicole Wallace was quoted and she actually used her name. Kudos to her!

Why is it that a smart, strong, confident and independent woman is labeled as a diva for being smart, strong, confident and independent? This is a prime example of the double standard for men and women. Biden talks about himself a lot and has publicly disagreed with Obama on many issues. I don’t here anyone calling him a diva. During the RNC, the vice presidential debate and any time after I have heard Palin talking about the mission the she and John are on. Self-righteous is not how I would describe her when I here her speak. I wonder how many of the critics have actually looked at the facts and listened to the parties for themselves. Most are just retelling lies they hear on TV and read in blogs. I hear criticism of Palin’s pricey wardrobe and in the next sentence people calling her a moose hunter, hypocrites. What saddens me is how easily the masses are bought with 6 million dollar “commercials” and rarely try to find the truth for themselves. Sarah Palin has more executive experience than Obama. She has proven she can make a decision. Obama, as a senator for Illinois voted “present” 130 times instead of yes or no… 130 times he proves he was unable to make a decision. Ready for Washington?… that is what people ask of Gov. Palin. The real question should be, is Obama?
