What a moran.

Here is an email I received today from a friend who says it came from a woman in Alaska who supports Obama.

Why aren’t more women stepping up to condemn this smear /insult campaign?

The way they are attacking her & her children is a disgrace. I don’ care what your political affiliations are this disrespect should not continue!

SNIP:

Finally, someone asked about the gorked-out kid. Until two/three weeks before she hatched it in April in the middle of the legislative session, no one knew that Sarah was pregnant. Those of you who have been pregnant can decide how odd that was. It was so odd that it provoked a swirl of speculation that the kid actually is Bristol’s, Sarah’s seventeen-year-old daughter. But those rumors went as quickly as they came. If the kid is Sarah’s, she told the press that she knew from the get-go that it was gorked-out with Down syndrome but, being a Bible-thumbing right-to-lifer, she decided that God wanted her to have it. That story, which as I type is ripping through the evangelical hard-right, will energize the Republican base to McCain’s advantage in a way that McCain never could have himself.

*********************************************

Note from an Alaska native: “In lieu of responding one by one to the telephone calls and email traffic, as of this afternoon, my view of the Palin situation is as follows:

Sarah Palin is a flag-waving, Bible-thumping, evangelical, right-to-life-promoting, lifetime NRA member, right-of-right-wing wing nut who is a locally grown product of the most reactionary white trash subculture in Alaska, i.e., the Mat-Su Valley.

Most Republicans and Democrats of my acquaintance share the view that, during her two-year tenure, Sarah has been one of the most incompetent governors in Alaska history. She knows next to nothing about the nuts and bolts of state government, the little she does know about it she doesn’t like, and most of the people she has appointed to help her are worse than she is.

But Sarah’s operational incompetence has been masked by $120 to $140 a barrel oil. With that kind of money flowing into the state’s coffers, if they, rather than Sarah, were governor, Bobby Mungabe, Charlie Manson, or the Unabomber would be viewed by rank-and-file Alaskans as rock stars. To cite one of many examples, Sarah has felt so bad about Alaskans having to pay $4.26 for regular when we fill up on Saturday mornings at Costco that, in addition to the $2,000 the state is sending us in October as our share of this year’s earnings from the Alaska Permanent Fund, Sarah is sending every man, woman, child in Alaska an extra $1,200 (at a total cost of almost $1 billion). For that she has received universal acclaim for having had the imagination to craft such a sensible state energy policy.

However, all of the above said, for Barack Obama, Sarah Palin is a very dangerous woman. Not only is she razor smart, but, as a politician, she is as intuitively gifted as Ronald Reagan. Because she is, at every stop on her meteoric rise she has been underestimated. So my advice is that no one, starting with Obama, should underestimate her now.

Like Ron, the hoi polloi love Sarah. And even before yesterday’s bounce, her approval rating here in the subarctic has been an astounding, and absolutely rock solid, 70 to 80 percent. And that approval rating has hardly moved even as she (and hubby Todd) have become entangled in a minor scandal that the Legislature has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate which centers on her misuse of the governor’s office to try to get her ex-brother-in-law fired from his job as a state trooper.

Even worse for Obama, while much of the pundit chatter over the past twenty-four hours has been speculation about whether Sarah can steal away any of Hillary’s cadres, in my view, it is men, rather than women, who like her the most. If that’s correct, and I think it is, if I were McCain, for the next two months I would keep Sarah in a bus and on the road in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Montana, Colorado, Nevada, speaking in VFW and union halls to white, working class men who voted for Hillary because they can’t stomach the idea of voting for a quasi-fake black guy.

One last thing. When Napoleon was asked what was the quality he most looked for in his generals, without hesitation he answered, “Luck.” “I don’t need smart generals. I don’t need a ruthless generals. What I need are lucky generals.” True story. I mention that because for more than ten years Sarah has been lucky to an extent that defies the odds of statistical probability. What happened yesterday was more of the same. And while the dice McCain has thrown are still rolling down a very long table, if you watched Sarah’s seemingly extemporaneous performance on the stump in Dayton you saw that there is no reason to believe that her extraordinary run of luck is anywhere close to being over.

Finally, someone asked about the gorked-out kid. Until two/three weeks before she hatched it in April in the middle of the legislative session, no one knew that Sarah was pregnant. Those of you who have been pregnant can decide how odd that was. It was so odd that it provoked a swirl of speculation that the kid actually is Bristol’s, Sarah’s seventeen-year-old daughter. But those rumors went as quickly as they came. If the kid is Sarah’s, she told the press that she knew from the get-go that it was gorked-out with Down syndrome but, being a Bible-thumbing right-to-lifer, she decided that God wanted her to have it. That story, which as I type is ripping through the evangelical hard-right, will energize the Republican base to McCain’s advantage in a way that McCain never could have himself.

So stay tuned.”

and her $500 contibution to John McCain
She’s no Hillary supporter-
There are no Democrats allowed in Carlisle MA, the wealthiest town in MA.

Seems she though so highly of him she gave $500.

“Life Long Democrat” my ass! She’s just another GOP “Life Long Liar”.
