Palin Vetted; Obama Remains Unvetted

The Media is pushing the narrative that Sarah Palin was not vetted. Any close observer of Republican campaigns knows this is false. Republicans are a minority party who continue to win elections because they are professionals; vetting a candidate is a no-brainer for the political veterans running McCain’s operation. Indeed, it was reported in May that McCain’s people were interviewing Palin for the number two job. Tom Blumer, in today’s Pajamasmedia, writes:
Two major elements of the developing meme that John McCain did not sufficiently vet presumptive vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin are highly suspect. Each contention is not provable, and there is strong reason to believe that each is almost completely, if not totally, untrue.
The first assertion is that McCain’s people did little if any vetting of Palin until a few days ago. The second is that McCain’s team has never looked at years of archived articles at Palin’s hometown paper.
Wizbang Blog reported on May 29 that a McCain advance man named Arthur Culvahouse was in Juneau, Alaska. Even three months ago, Wizbang Blog’s Kevin
already sensed the power of Palin being on McCain’s ticket:
Governor Palin would (in my estimation) make an excellent VP candidate for McCain. Thomas Cheplick at The American Spectator makes the case that she’s probably the only VP candidate who can balance the ticket against Obama. She’s also a potential magnet for disaffected Hillary Clinton voters, many of whom are just looking for a reason not to vote for Obama.
If conservative blogs were weighing the benefits of Palin months ago, one can be fairly certain that McCain’s lieutenants were vetting Alaska’s governor and conducting focus groups and polls on every conceivable angle of her selection.
On the Democratic side, however, any criticism of Obama was quickly shut down by the media. For example, David Sirota defended Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s racial sermons and implied that Hillary was engaged in racial politics by bringing up Wright. Sirota wrote during the primaries: “Does the very reaction to Wright show he’s right about racism? Clinton seems to think so,” sniffed an indignant Sirota on the notion that Hillary would use Wright against Obama.
The hysterical reaction during the primaries to any criticism of Obama with accusations of racism has created a situation where an unvetted Obama faces the Republican Blitzkreig.
Below is a limited list of areas where the media has failed to investigate Obama. This list does not include Obama’s many policy reversals or outright fabrications, like the statement that the Kennedy family facilitated his father coming to the United States. It does not include Obama’s habit of voting ‘present’ as a member of the Illinois State Senate nor his strange maneuverings regarding a born alive bill. Instead, the list below concerns Obama’s associates and business dealings. It is a sordid group, comprised of the America-hating, anti-Israel, and explicitly racial Left. There is big money involved, as with the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and bizarre organizations to which money was funneled. Obama’s milieu is the intersection of Chicago politics and the fringe Left; there is much to be explored and explained about Obama. Below is a partial list where Obama remains unvetted:
1. Trinity United Church of Christ. Obama’s 20-year membership in an explicitly racist church, a church with rhetoric too hot for Oprah.
2. Rezko. Obama’s ties to Tony Rezko and the 2005 purchase of the Obamas’ home. Obama funnelling money to Rezko’s sleazy businesses.
3. Ayers. Obama’s extensive ties to unrepentant terroist Bill Ayers.
4. Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC). Obama and Ayers together dispensing tens of millions of dollars supposedly for educational organizations. Although now just being investigated, it’s known that money was funnelled to Ayers’ friend, radical Mike Klonsky, a founding member of the Maoist Party of the United States.
5. Minister Louis Farrakhan. Obama is surrounded by people like Rev. Willie Barrow, a friend and admirer of the anti-white, anti-Semitic Farrakhan.
If the media doesn’t do their job, we can rest assured that the Republicans will happily do it for them.

Yes, when will barky be vetted? I guess that’s the best they can come up with, that the republicans didn’t vet her? Yeah, I believe that one!
Anyway, from Hillbuzz.
You know the name Carly Fiorina. Fortune crowned her America’s top businesswoman. She not only has great credits, she also has perfect makeup, good clothes and a great handbag. This nifty-looking blonde was VP of AT&T, launched Lucent (then civilization’s most successful IPO) and went on to become chairwoman/CEO of Hewlett Packard until the board stuck a shiv in her Chanel.
A McCain adviser, she and I had a little talk. Carly said: “With my title as Sen. McCain’s ‘victory chairman,’ I have my own skybox at the convention. Such a skybox is usually filled with the party faithful. However, instead of all devoted Republicans, what you will meet in my individual skybox is many Democrats.”
I stared at her. She was telling me something but, not being overly bright, I just wasn’t sure what.
“And at this moment,” added Carly, “Nobody – but you – knows this.”
For some reason – lack of time, lack of a proper spot to get together quickly, lack of I don’t exactly know what – this hastily put-together meeting was in a small car. A moving car. She had a driver. It was Carly, a staffer, me in the middle scrunched up tight with pad and pencil, jammed into the back seat. Driving around the streets.
“Look, in terms of Democratic women, there’s an intensity of feeling that the party passed them over. I’ve not been politically active before. Never had an affiliation before. Didn’t even know the key issues. But John McCain asked me to reach out because I can talk about economy and I can talk about women’s issues, so I got involved.
“I’m meeting with these women everywhere – Colorado, Ohio, Nevada, Scranton, Penn., where Joe Biden’s so big. Every important swing state, every place where Hillary ran big. Not New York because we may not win New York.
“These women are right now being told, ‘The party doesn’t own your vote.’
“And because of what happened to me at Hewlett Packard, women empathize with me the same way they empathize with Hillary. We’re both fighters.”
So, Carly, about these women you’re reaching out to. They’re not Republicans you’re massing for McCain? They’re all Democrats?
“Yes. I’m a primary advocate, but a very public spokesperson in getting new votes. Pulling Democratic women’s votes into the Republican fold. I am infiltrating the Democratic Party. Going behind the lines. However, I’m not an enemy. I’m helping them. They’re welcoming me, delighted to learn about issues that concern women. Especially the economy. After all, women start small businesses. And, don’t forget, we women are the majority.”
So Hillary knows this?
“I’m not sure I know that answer. I can’t say whether Hillary knows or not.”
As much as I could squiggle around in my tiny space to face her, I did. “So, basically, what are you saying?” I asked.
“Look, put it this way. Hillary’s people are working with me. My people are meeting with Democratic activists, Hillary activists, party activists who have been in her campaign. We’re going to places where Hillary won handily. Specifically targeting those areas. And before Obama’s expected bounce from the Democratic convention, you’ll notice John McCain’s numbers were creeping up.
“That was all because of us. What we’re doing. The inroads he’s making are with Democratic women. It’s grass-roots. We’re connecting with the undecideds. We began to reach out as soon as Hillary lost.”
So, Carly, hon, does Hillary know or not?
Carly Fiorina’s diamond and pearl earrings bobbled as she turned head-on to me. “People very very close to Hillary are heavily involved in this operation. And I just had lunch with a huge Hillary supporter who’s onboard.”
And how might she and this team plan to handle the Republican candidate’s biggest hurdle with women – abortion.
“Abortion is a scare tactic. The Democratic Party has used Roe v. Wade to hold women hostage. There are many issues concerning women that must also be addressed – security, education, health care. We have to help them get over this hurdle.
“We’re co-opting Democratic operatives who will not be turning out votes for Obama. The Democrats will realize how effective we were the day after the election. And lots of the big-time organizing and heavy-duty financing for our singular effort has come through the fine hand of people very well known to Mrs. Clinton.”
Carly Fiorina’s consorting with the enemy is somehow gaining members. One particular ladies lunch in Denver had hundreds of women. I was allowed to attend. I was not allowed to write about it.
Sarah Palin, Carly Fiorina . . . Camp McCain is clearly staking out the female vote.
Vetting Obama:
Boston Globe investigation on a decade of slumlord connections http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/06/27/grim_proving_ground_for_obamas_housing_policy/
A compilation of documents identifying his links to Alan Greenspan economics, investment banks and oil companies. http://www.thecityedition.com/Pages/Archive/Summer08/BushThirdTerm.html
That means that in some way the selection of Palin is McCain’s way of extending a real hand of partnership to the disaffected women that Hillary left behind, but also a way of insuring that they will get their needs met.
One commentator quoted in this blog said McCain’s pick of Palin shows he trusts women (and this particular woman) by taking a risk with his political future. I would think that theme will be pushed by the McCain campaign to bring in those disaffected Clinton supporters.
Obama has agreed to go on O’Reilly on Thursday. hoo, hoo. I hope O’Reilly gets him!
John McCain listened to us. Barack Obama said “get over it.”
I just have to say that the reason I am SO
enamored of Sarah Palin right now is:
a. she seems to realize that as a politician
SHE works for US, at our discretion.
b. She is the ANTI-sexinthecity female.
My heart is FILLED with joy and I can
peacefully cast my vote for McCain/Palin
and sleep like a baby.
The democratic party has been
taken over by extreme leftists and in fact
a few whose actual SANITY I question
(are you listening NancyP?)
The Democratic Party is sick and that sickness
comes from within.
Perhaps the only way to save the democratic party
is to let it die so perhaps it will be born
again.
Isn’t that why his theme is “country first”?
McCain has picked a maverick with talent. This is a clever pick and it’s because he’ll get lots of mileage. This is what palin will do for USA..
Stop the Revolving Door and Restore Ethics
America deserves and demands a government that serves the country, not itself. Most people believe that elected leaders are more interested in the perks and privileges of office than in public service, and that too often the special interest lobbyists with the fattest wallets and best access carry the day when issues of public policy are being decided.
John McCain has fought the good fight against the practices that alienate the public from their elected leaders. He has fought for public disclosure of those who lobby lawmakers for a living, and to prohibit them from providing gifts to elected officials.
He has fought for greater transparency regarding the official activities of lobbyists, disclosure of those who arrange for lawmakers’ travel, and require members to pay full charter rates when using corporate aircraft.
He has fought the “revolving door” by which lawmakers and other influential officials leave their posts and become lobbyists for the special interests they have aided.
He has fought for an independent ethics office in Congress to help restore the public’s faith in the integrity of the legislative branch.
Wasn’t that what Pelosi/Reid promised? Hahahahahahaha. What great strides they’ve made! Hahahahahhahahahahaha.
Another note is that a huge portion of Dems are not ‘The Enemy’, they are fairly traditional, patriotic Americans like I (Republican) like to think I am. So it’s not exactly rocket science to reach out to people that want the best for their country. I hope we find them all, and do this thing TOGETHER.
Yours is an excellent post. Thank you.
As PUMA says, “Country before party” and they borrowed it from one of our great presidents who admonished us to “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
And this year, as mind boggling as it sounds, that seems to be voting Republican because first on the list is restoring Democracy and that isn’t going to happen by the appointment of another unqualified president.
McCain/Palin. Soertoro/Obama/Biden. Any question?
Fiorina is a carnivore. Let’s wish her well.
Man, I’m really not the happy guy I used to be. ‘Matter of fact, I’m feeling downright embittered.
Maybe she’ll put you on the menu next? That would be fun to watch ….
WATCH THE REPUB CONVENTION. THIS IS NOT YOUR DAD’S GOP. WOMEN OF HIGH CALIBER ARE BEING FEATURED. NOT ELITISTS
BUT HEROINES!
THIS IS A SHOW OF PATRIOTISM.
Hillary really likes McCain and both are centrists and this Party Loyalty stinks with Obama’s dems, just like it does with Bush’s neocons.
I never saw such a divided America until Bush took office and now Obama is dividing us more and I don’t like it at all.
I doubt that McCain has forgotten how horrible Bush treated him in 2000 and Hillary may say she rises above what the DNC and Obama did, but she is human too. We may forgive but we don’t forget.
McCain/Palin
After the shameful and horrendous treatment of Sarah Palin and her family, I hope you are correct that the Republicans will soon spill the beans about Obama. After the 8 point bump Obama got today I wonder. Is that bump convention related? If so, hostorically that is low for a Dem candidate. Or is the bump from the personal attacks on Palin? If so what a revolting development. Base personal attacks from the left strictly for political gain. This is politics of personal destruction. Well, yet again we see Obama does not tell the truth. He claims he is a new trpe of candidate. Yeah. And I have a bridge in the Sahara.
I hate Obama more every day.
Obama recieved a bump because they took survey’s during the weeks that kids were out of school. Nothing more nothing less.
I noticed the same type of swing on Yahoo answers. Usually it is very strongly republican right after work, but this weekend it was very very strongly Obama due to adolesent overload.
This is apparent if you look at his convention. Alot of pictures showed underage voters in his audience. Obama appeals to overtly emotional people and that is one of the drawbacks to adolescence.
“Obama recieved a bump because they took survey’s during the weeks that kids were out of school. Nothing more nothing less.”
OK that’s a relief. So we truant officers can keep these weasels in school the day of the GE to prevent attacks on polling places. That’s encouraging.
P.S. Brazile is saying Anderson Cooper is a brave man. Brazile is disgusting. Just looking at her ugly face and listening to her ugly voice makes me sick.
That post-convention “bump” is about average. And don’t look at any other polls except for the Gallup and Rasmussen tracking polls. Those are the largest polls, they’re done every day, and they’re done by professional polling organizations who … unlike CBS News, the NY Times, and thw Washington Post … don’t have a partisan axe to grind.
Right now Obama’s ahead by about 5 points nationally, which is about where I thought he’d be after the Deomcratic convention. I suspect that his lead will be down to 1-3 points again after the GOP finishes its convention on Friday, meaning that it’s very much anybody’s game.
Today BO stated that “Family” should be off limits. Hmmmmm, he’s trying to prevent MO from being exposed!
Too late!!!!!!!!
Larry Sinclair is at the RNC, he plans to call out Chris Mathews for his man crush on BO, and biased reporting.
“did anyone else see Larry in the audience during Hardball on MSNBC? He was standing right behind the person that Chris Mathews was speaking with, and he had the same same blue cap that he wore in his yt video…I think.”
http://larrysinclair-0926.blogspot.com/
1. Wright
2. Rezko.
3. Ayers.
4. Chicago Annenberg Challenge a.k.a Woods Foundation
5. Minister Louis Farrakhan
All of these issues came up during the primaries, were discussed during the primaries, and Obama STILL won.
You Republicans are going to have to do better than that.
Next thing you know you’ll be saying a mayor of a town of 5K and governor for 18 months has more experience than a 2 term senator and 4 year US senator
As Chris Matthews would say: HAAAAAAA!
Uh, hardly.
But this will be the response during the ad compaign about Rezko: “But, but this was already mentioned. Stop! Unfair!”
And the public will react, “I never heard about that, please tell more.”
Dearest I’m a democrat. You know that party that’s been hijacked by a bunch of fascist, who don’t seem to understand that democracy means majority rules. Google it and learn what the name of you own party means. This stopped being about parties the minute the neo-con hijacked the party and forced obama down our 18 million throats. the difference between obama and john mcCain is a simple as the choice between hitler and fdr. So don’t get your Nazi panties in a bunch…we’ll come home when you remember that it’s the american voter not neo liberals that run this country. Now run along and let the adults talk children should be seen an not heard.
Yes, Francis he won because Brazile and Dean had the whole process fixed from the beginning. Why do you think there were so many calls for Clinton to get out since Iowa? Brazile was so confident on CNN who the nominee was going to be, but oh she was neutral.
They didn’t want their dirty laundry to show.
As it was they had to disenfranchise Michigan and Florida and in order to force Hillary out and we as her supporters got to watch the thuggery from the beginning to end. It was quite a show.
Yeah he won dirty red-state caucuses and 90% of the black vote by calling the Clintons racists.
Somehow I just can’t vote for him.
0bama … the I Have a Scheme Candidate!
Hey Francis the Talking Mule: You gotta lay off those high-priced oats Oblahblah has been feeding you. What really happened was that all these issues were glossed over during the primaries, thereby allowing Oblahblah to barely skate by.
Isn’t it time for you to go pull Obamacus’ chariot up on Mt Olympus? You better get moving.
Ferd you are the genius of the artful slam!

Alleged right wing troll and faux Democrat
Just correcting your quote to reflect reality.
Francis,
I’ve had about enough of you calling me a Republican. I’ve been a loyal Democrat since 1968. Got it? I vote in EVERY election including state and local Primaries.
I am now ‘Unaffiliated’ because of the way the DNC leadership ’selected’ 0bama and the way 0bama gamed the Caucus with the help of Dean and Brazile and how they structured the Caucus calendar.
0bama is where he is today because of the DNC, his corrupt Chicago politics and a complicit msm who is doing everything in their power to elect him. Did you see Campbell Brown last night for God’s sake?
Real journalists do not behave this way. In all my years, I’ve NEVER seen such preferential treatment given to a candidate running for POTUS. If they were doing this for McCain, I would be ready to riot in the streets. Democrats are now behaving the way I accused Republicans of behaving. And I am at a loss for words as to how and why this is happening.
On top of everything else, 0bama’s candidacy has deprived me of the ethnic joy of having a candidate that looked like me. He’s also deprived me of the best female candidate for POTUS.
You and all the other Dems can float down the river denial if you want to, but there are a slew of people who feel exactly like I do and our numbers are well within the margin of error.
In approximately 5 days since Palin was announced, the msm has done more investigating of her than they’ve done on 0bama in 18 months. They have NOT, contrary to what you are trying to imply, asked him any tough questions. And when abc during one of the debates tried to, he whined like a bitch and his supporters carried on like Brownshirts. Palin and the Republicans have taken the all of the attacks and said virtually nothing.
So lie to yourself over the next 60 days if you want to about people like me being Republicans. The proof will come on Election night when we have our final say.
Stock up on anti-depressants.
You’re gonna need’em.
good for you mimi…………….great post!
Mimi I was someone who all my life only voted for Democrats but thanks to Ohitler and his thugs including Francis and the DNC I will be voting Republican down the entire ticket. I wear my alleged GOP troll status proudly now.
I will return to the Democrats when there is a big shake-up in leadership after Ohitler loses in November.

I have always been independent, voting for who I thought was the best candidate. In the past, that meant voting for the Democrat. For this election, that changes. I dislike McCain (Palin is okay). The only thing worse than voting for McCain would be voting for Obama. I vill vote for McCain. Sorry, Barky.
Will, not vill. Ick.
So you’re essentially saying the Obama political machine together with the Obama morons like yourself can swing an election even if your candidate is total scum?
And that’s something to be proud of?
I do not recall any media vetting Obama and I watch a lot of politics. Perhaps the Wright deal got a little attention but the pundits wet themselves and turned it into a “holy moment” for Obama. And the career of Obama, a two term state senator who slept the first 7 years, robotically pushing the present button! His US Senate career isn’t much better — he decided to run for President a little over 100 days in! That’s what I call great experience and a real workaholic.
Depends on your definition of “won” which Websters’ defines as the past tense of “win” which is defined as “to be the victor” so I think the word you were searching for might have been “gift” defined as “something transfered to another without compensation” because the delegate votes from the 2008 primary election were definitely transferred to Soetoro/Obama without the Voters and/or delegates getting compensated.
Most of us learned the lessons of 2000 very well; you can’t stop counting the votes when things aren’t going your way, declare victory and then whine that you’re being criticized.
Welcome aboard the 2008 Deja Vu train now being derailed by McCain/Palin.
Social conservatives are undaunted by the misogynist left’s attacks and in fact will now rally to Palin.
The media frenzy and investigations by same of Palin only provide a stark contrast to the still unvetted Obama. This drive conservatives crazy who already see liberal bias – and have the power to bring about a backlash.
Defeat Obama 08.
Sane Americans have to create alternative media and boycott the MSM clowns. And get the truth out.

I heard that McCain canceled an interview with Larry King tonight as a way of protesting this morning’s Wolf’s set where Campbell just crossed the line of disrespect and everyone else basked in its glory.
Go McCain!
Hillary did that a couple of times to CNN. And then laughed at Wolf and Campbell Brown during one of the debates.
We can turn the channel. Both Hillary and McCain know what’s going on in the media.
Fox is reporting a “down” day for Obama”, which includes a workout a haircut and a trip to the FBI,
Why is Obama visiting the FBI in Chicago?
what’s up?
Some “vetting” ?
Questions about whether he renounced his US citizenship to obtain an Indonesian passport?
The FBI? In Chicago? Perhaps it’s related to Rezko.
I just heard on Fox a few minutes ago that a visit to the FBI for a briefing is commonplace once a candidate officially becomes the nominee.
Don’t know anything about visiting the FBI. I do know he has to visit his parole officer this month.
LOL!
plus 40 hours of community service to do this month cutting grass along the freeway…and collecting garbage…

Everything in this Dem attack piece is a non-story. Don’t lose heart. Here is your real Sarah Palin and that is who the country will soon fall in love with:
http://www.newsweek.com/id/156190
Great, that means that Obama made a big big gaffe when speaking about Palin in reference to her experience vs. his with respect to budgets.
The budget of 12 million he spoke of was her budget when she was Mayor of Wasilla. He said, heck I manage three time that budget in a month. But the budget she managed as a Governor was more like 4.4 Billion
Obambi never knows what he is talking about. He is a real idiot. No twice the idiot Bush is.
http://www.gov.state.ak.us/omb/09_omb/budget/FY09_GF_Budget_Totals_Pie_Chart.pdf
He also mentioned supervising 50 people to run Wasilla – that’s a stretch. But she was the city manager (a day job). And a manager of a city that hosted a multi-day International event every year, the Iditarod race.
Another question is his citzenship – why did he say he visited Pakistan with his Indonesian passport???
And he thinks we’re stupid if he believes we don’t know that Axelrod runs his campaign finances NOT him. He just doesn’t know the meaning of the truth does he?
An excellent point.
Obama is both the player – and the played.
I was a Bush hater. Well, not really hate, but I despised him so much I would change the channel whenever he spoke. I should apologize to him. Obama makes Bush look good.
I agree. Let’s just hope and pray that noone ever comes along that make obarfbag look good!
BO doesn’t manage the budget for the campaign! Just another BO lie!
Good article Bud, thanks
Sarah – is she a naughty librarian – or a naughty teacher?
ABC News had a great show tonight. They showed a back door where Tom Delay was giving a secret bash at the convention (McCain helped bring Delay down, but he’s still around). My favorite segment was Garrison Keillor’s guided tour of St. Paul.
About three weeks ago, I did a google search of all things ‘Sarah Palin’, and right there in black and white was the whole Trooper-gate story.
Of course, McCain knew about this well in advance. It has been revealed on television even — I know I heard it at least once well before Sarah was made the VP choice.
As to the pregnancy of the daughter or the 22-year old Todd’s DUI, not even relevant — or have ya’ll forgotten that it wasn’t Laura who had a couple of DUI’s on her record — it was Bush and Cheney.
This is all much ado about nothing and makes the MSM look incredibly sexist and biased, once again.
PUMA for McCain/Palin ‘08
Troopergate, Alaska Style is just one more play on the Woman as Emotional, Vindictive, Manipulative Screaming Bitches scenario that the Dems used so well against Hillary Clinton for equal non-issues.
The Dems weakest point is what worked against Hillary seemed like only she earned this attack. Yet now that they spread their poison to all women, we know it is a Dem Party blindness and not just a Hillary attack.
Poor Dems, they now have no where to go to get their disenfranchised women back.
Wasn’t it the Dems who made so much fuss over Cheney’s lesbian daughters pregnancy as well? What is with the Dem Party and why do they hate women so much?
Vett this Obama, Vett it and weep, creep:
http://www.newsweek.com/id/156190
Will the real Sarah Palin stand up? She just did in this indepth interview. A+++++
To me, it’s not about whether she was vetted beforehand or not. It’s not even that I care that she has a pregnant teenager. What makes me absolutely disgusted is to hear the double standards spewing out of the Republican camp. Where the hell were these same outraged, “compassionate” conservatives when BOTH Clintons were being skewered by the MSM for 20 years?!??? Today Rush Limbaugh, fat ass drug addict, was saying Hillary can’t hold a candle to Sarah blah blah blah, and putting on his faux outrage over the media’s coverage of Palin’s pregnant teen. That’s the same monster who built an entire career out of Clinton bashing, dipping and diving into their PERSONAL business as he saw fit, but suddenly families are off limits??!!!?? And Obama the pussy saying the same thing??!!!?? WHY SHOULD A CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN’S FAMILY LIFE BE OFF LIMITS WHEN THE CLINTON’S WERE UNDER A MICROSCOPIC LENS FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS!???????
I agree with you – it is payback time for the Reps trashing the Clintons, except if is now coming from the very same Dems who also were only to happy to yet again trash the Clintons. Irony must be noted.
But just like the failed attempts to trash Hillary, Palin too when seen in real life and real time will make fools and liars of all their critics. And that is why Clinton started winning more and more races and Obama peaked a long time ago.
Same thing is happening now – Dems trashing Palin before anyone finally gets a chance to see her and know her in person. She is terrific and again the Dems will start losing more support than they are currently gaining by their vicious attacks from the “party of change”.
Attacking women is no change. Got that, Obambi?
The Clintons were hardly skewered by the MSM. Bill lied under oath and had sex in the oval office and the MSM gave him a FREE PASS. You’re off your rocker if you think they didn’t. Conservatives have always been slayed by the media and liberals have always been handled with kid gloves. The beauty of this election is that some of you are finally beginning to see it.
McCain/Palin 08
Huh? Hardly a free pass. If I have to hear about that blue dress all these years later, I’ll barf. But certainly Edwards got one and continues to fly under the radar. I don’t really care about his affair/baby/whatever. What I do care about is his hypocrisy, lies and dragging his wife out as a shield for any criticism…along with wasting my CA primary vote.
I don’t call Monica Lewinsky being all over the tv giving Clinton a pass. And it’s still being aired. It was too juicy a story to pass up. Are you blogging from Mars or the lunatic asylum?
Of course the Conservatives relished all the negative air time the msm gave the Clintons and they weren’t going to defend them. But, in all fairness, the Clintons were over 21 and Bill was the POTUS. That’s fair game and since I want 0bama’s sordid past exposed, I’m not going to rail about it. He and Michelle, Biden and his wife are over 21. Even though I’m against 0bama, I’d go to the mat if they attacked his little daughters in any way.
I personally think candidates personal lives should be off limits unless it affects their ability to govern, but the msm rolls that way. Which is why, when they mentioned Todd Palin’s DUI 22 years ago, and fail to mention that 0bama who is the candidate used cocaine many years ago, it seems totally biased. A lot of people haven’t read Dreams For My Father, they don’t know 0bama’s story and the msm is not telling it.
Even though I’m against 0bama, I’d go to the mat if they attacked his little daughters in any way.
Ah, but you’re going to vote for the son of a bitch who said Hillary Clinton’s only daughter was so butt ugly it must be because her dad is Janet Reno. Mimi, mimi, mimi. Of all the head-shaking hypocrites on this republican wasteland of a blog, you may be the hardest to take.
Rush Limbaugh is a nut case! Don’t hold him against Sarah Paulin. And two wrongs don’t make a right. It was wrong for Hillary and it’s wrong for Paulin. I haven’t been back to MSNBC since the Clintons were accused of “pimping” Chelsea. It’s wrong for MSM to rake Bristol Paulin over the coals and accuse the Palins of bad parenting. Forget Rush Limbaugh. Just consider the source. He has little credibility any more.
Never listen to Rush. He’s a radical Republican. He doesn’t care who he rips apart. As long as he thinks there is just one person who will agree with him. I call him the Republican Michael Moore. Two of a kind. 90% of the time he makes me want to pull my hair out. I can’t listen through a whole show. I don’t understand what it is with him and smacking his lips. That really drives me crazy too. He has no business picking on Obama for stuttering.
Besides isn’t he supposed to be campaigning for someone else now that John got the nomination?? I’ll say it for you, “Go away Rush and take Michael Moore with you. Two peas in a pod on opposite ends. Both radical. American’s don’t need either one of you and your radical views. Both of you are hypocrites.” Remember when he came unglued on Patrick Kennedy, then acted like he was a saint for admitting he had a drug problem. All the while knowing he had a drug problem…I could care less what Democrats were saying about him. He was the one ripping other’s apart knowing he himself had his own problems. You can’t get more hypocritical than that.
To me, it seems that the Dems and liberal media got eggs on their faces because they thought Romney or Pawlenty (sp)was going to get picked. They didn’t prepare for Sarah, and thus, the ’she hasn’t been vetted’ meme. It’s truly laughable when these clowns talk about her being unvetted when right there in front of their eyes is the most unvetted joker of them all named Barry/Barack.
They were made fools of, though they lost any semblance of objectivity this year. Their excuse is the Iraq war, stupidest excuse I’ve ever heard.
There are, like, three or four dozen real reporters in the entire country. The rest are little more than gossips.
Why won’t more Clinton supporters come over and vote for McCain? I mean the ones committed to not voting for Obama. We all want the same thing–for Obama to lose! The only way that’s going to happen is if McCain wins! Which is a much better alternative! Obama is like 9 points in some polls since they’ve been bashing Sarah Palin. US Weekly has a cover story coming out entitled “Babies,Lies,and Scandals: McCain’s New Vice President”
We need to stand together!
McCain/Palin 08!!
They think that even though the Democrats took away their right to represent whom they wanted as their nominee, that they still hold their values at heart.
That would be like trusting a thief in your house because he believes in gay rights. Absurd and stupid.
They are.
But don’t expect the Obama MSM to tell the truth about it. Because by admitting it, their “unity” facade will automatically be blown to pieces.
The pollsters are going to do to McCain exactly what they did to Hillary during the primary:
LIE.
They’re going to LIE about Obama’s falling numbers in blatant attempts to manipulate public opinion against McCain. But because the majority of Hillary supporters are on to their cheap schemes, they will just simply tune the MSM out now.
The faulty strategy from the pollsters & MSM didn’t work with Hillary – as she won the popular vote. (Remember New Hampshire in January?) So the DNC simply STOLE enough delegates from her and gave them to Obama so that he could secure the Dem nomination.
Chances are, Obama and the crooked DNC are trying to steal the general election too. But I have a feeling that this race won’t be close enough to pull off another theft.
In my opinion, which probably doesn’t mean much, the Hillary supporters that will vote for a man they have spent months talking negatively about, who they say is inexperienced and is unqualified, are not much better than the Obama koolaid drinkers. It was the DNC that took away our option of voting for Hillary for POTUS. The good of our country should be our primary consideration. I will take 4 years of McCain/Palin before I will chance 8 years of Obama. It won’t be Hillary 2012 if Obama manages to win the White House.
This election has exposed a lot, especially the Democrats hypocrisy of equality for women. I thought some Republicans would be against Palin out of sexism, but they all love her for her views and capabilities! The base is actually fired up now, b/c before they just had McCain who they think is a Democrat! Meanwhile, the liberal Democrats are treating Palin like a joke saying she’s not qualified! She’s MORE qualified than Obama!!!! They should be battling it out over ISSUES,but all they can do is personally attack her and laugh at her! Also, they have handcuffed all the women of their Party with abortion. They will give you abortion but you better be a good little girl then and keep your mouths shut! A qualified woman, that’s precious! I’ve got news for women, I don’t think McCain/Palin will overturn abortion, it takes the Supreme Court to do that and I don’t believe they will ever touch such a hotly debated issue no matter who is appointed! Also McCain and Palin only believe it should be overturned at the FEDERAL level, which means they would have to get a majority of conservative judges that would actually do it! Then, it would be up to ALL individual states. For a woman to completely lose the right in the United States ALL states would then have to overturn it! Do you really think all this is going to happen in four years? I guess you can always not take any chances though, and just be happy that’s the only right they give you! Whatever you do, if you stay in that Party, you better not try thinking for yourself! I’m voting for more than abortion, I’m voting for female EQUALITY! As for gay rights, McCain and Palin oppose it PERSONALLY,but feel states should decide! Obama is for it PERSONALLY, but feels states should decide! Two different PERSONAL views but the SAME SOLUTION!! As for equal pay I’m not sure McCain’s view on this, if he’s against it in any way it would be for some kind of big government or constitutional reason, not b/c he hates women! BTW, McCain pays all his female staffers $2,500 MORE than his male employees while Obama pays all of his female staffers far less than his male employees! Which one just gave the VP spot to a woman? Keep drinking the kool-aid if you want! They are also lying so badly about McCain being Bush-they have nothing else to go with! McCain isn’t liked by conservatives, he’s like an Independent. Obama says McCain wants to give tax breaks to big oil. That’s so funny considering in 2005 it was Obama who voted for the Bush/Cheney energy plan that did just that while McCain voted against it!! Obama just recently voted for FISA, Mccain didn’t. McCain is opposite of Bush on issues like stem cell research,climate change,energy plan,illegal immigration,government spending,taxes,torture,etc..The list goes on! Yeah, that really sounds like Bush! McCain has gone against his Party MANY times and worked across Party lines MANY times–Obama NEVER HAS! May I remind everyone that John Kerry asked McCain to be his running mate in 2004,Joe Biden said he would be HONORED to run WITH or against McCain,Howard Dean said he modeled his last campaign after McCain-who is a GREAT man,this year Hillary and Bill said McCain is ready on day one and Obama is not! Joe Lieberman would have been McCain’s running mate in this election but b/c McCain is so liberal the base would have completely left him–it would have been two Democrats on the ticket to them! Who just picked a running mate outside of Washington who is a reformer and has fought corruption,even within her own Party? McCain! Who just picked a guy who’s been in Washington 10 yrs LONGER tan McCain? Obama! Do you guys remember why Obama said he wasn’t going with Hillary? He said she’s been in Washington too long! Also, Obama loves to say McCain says the energy crisis has been going on for 30 yrs, what he doesn’t tell you is he’s been there 26 of those yrs! I guess he forgot Joe Biden was there 10 yrs longer than that!! McCain and Joe Lieberman took a bipartisan energy plan before Congress three years ago and they shot it down! McCain only recently endorsed drilling when gas hit $4/gal to relieve us while we make the transition of his “GREEN” plan that will have us energy independent much sooner than Obama’s!!! Who will really deliver change? Don’t buy into what they are selling! They have smeared and LIED about TWO strong women and a war hero who’s a maverick!
McCain/Palin 08!! “Reforming Washington”!
Please help me inform the voters that John McCain is no George Bush! No Way,No How,No Obama!
The generation growing up doesn’t care about none of that shit. All they care about is whom is on MTV, what new cool shit they are gonna buy, and what is the most shocking scandals and how to be better and better looking than the next person.
What you guys are witnessing is the death of our society. There is nothing you can do to stop it.
It’s almost like Hillary deliberately gave us that line…it’s too perfect.
No Way, No How, NOBAMA.
BTW, bots…you’re very busy and very obvious tonight.
Well I’m an Independent voter so I vote for both Parties! There is a reason McCain appeals to Reagan Democrats and Independents, and it isn’t Sarah Palin.There is a reason Republicans don’t like McCain much! I was already behind McCain and I am gay. I can also think for myself and the principle of equality seems to mean more to me than most!
Great points on the vetting!
Apparently McCain has a vet related issue now too. Sadly, but not unpredictably, I just got my first “swift boating” of McCain email.
The key propaganda talking points are:
1. McCain is overusing his POW story.
2. push the meme… McCain is only a noun, a verb, and POW
My goddess these people are sooooo stupid. This will backfire on them tremendously. McCain rarely prings up the POW thing himself, it’s all the emdia who most do that.
BTW, it was from Brave New Films which is affiliated with MoveOn, I think. I immediately unsubscribed and when they asked why I told them I don’t approve of swift boating from either poltiical party.
Comment by Obama’s gums look sick | 2008-09-02 18:31:08
Wasn’t it the Dems who made so much fuss over Cheney’s lesbian daughters pregnancy as well? What is with the Dem Party and why do they hate women so much?
****
I was having an argument with people at work today who are of course, flaming liberals, and basically, they’re retort is that they’re calling out the hypocrisy of the far right.
i said, whatever the left-wing does, it should not resort to attacking women with sexism and misogyny – no matter the far right or far left, it is wrong, just as homophobic attacks are wrong.
Funny thing is, that’s what I grew up believing “liberal” meant. Tolerance. Fairness. Equality.
So I really don’t think of Obama’s hordes as “liberals.”
I think of them as power-hungry creeps.
I am a Hillary supporter and a PUMA member. At one point I swore I wouldn’t vote for obama. I’m still hoping Larry or Berg or whomever will get the goods on obama, and replace him with Hillary. But palin is a creationist. For those of you who are rightwing trolls, this is wonderful news. But for any Democrat, this is worse than bad. It allows the rightwing religious wackos to get a foot into the White House. Personally, I’d vote for Manson before I’d vote for any religious creep like palin. Remember, with palin you get dobson and others like him who made this pick instead of McCain.
Check out her interviews. Whe’s not a nutjob like the Obamabots are saying.
Don’t fall for their cr*p.
Palin is not a creationist. See her in a PBS interview on this subject during the Alaska governor’s race. She states that her father is a science teacher and she has great respect for science. She also says that she does not object to students asking questions about and learning about creationist ideas as an alternate to scientific explanations. I could argue the fine points of that view but it does not send me up the wall. She was clear that she would never advocate replacing evolution and science with creationist theories. Do not drink the koolaid.
Palin is not a creationist. But even if she were she would be better than Obama.
If she believed in human sacrifice she’d be better than Obama.
Especially if it were Obama being sacrificed!
If she belonged to a cult that worshipped toenail clippings she’d be better than Obama.
Jimbo, you are wrong. She does not want it taught in a curriculum. But she did say that if the kids brought up the question, it should be discussed. Now what is wrong with that? I personally believe in both. I happen to believe that science and faith go hand and hand. Remember, evolution is a theory. I’m not saying it’s not an accepted theory, but it is still a theory. I would rather have kids who have questions about it be allowed to have a real discussion. Now I will also say that I’m a christian. But I do believe in separation of church and state. I do not want someone other than me to teach my children about religion. But never did she say that creationism should be a curriculum. That is a rumor. It’s been posted many times of her correct statement and someone ran with it and twisted the truth. You know how that goes as they did that with Hillary.
Jimbo’s a troll…that line (I was a Clinton supporter but…) is a dead giveaway.
Silly. You of all people should know Palin is not going to inflict her personal religious views on your schools. You are a troll. Scram.
No, Sarah Palin is NOT a “creationist”. What she has said is that she doesn’t oppose the discussion of creationism in schools alongside evolution. I am a moderate Republican who believes that religion should be kept out of the school system. But I have no problem with creationism (or “intelligent design” if you prefer) as long as it’s presented as theory or religious belief and not fact.
She is not a religious creep, sorry. Obama is a religious creep. Obama’s religion is displayed in order to create trust.
Obama is a creationist. His objective is to create trust out of nothing.
And create requisite experience for POTUS out of single, largely undocumented, speech.
Truth from Lies
and Change from the same old dirty politics.
Another day, another ignorant comment. Honestly, Jimbo from now on I shall save your comments. You say this over and over. Honestly, you don’t want to know her actual viewpoint.
Vote for Manson?
That’s really jumping the shark.
I’d never vote for an insane mass murderer over someone who is a Creationist. And I’m not a practising Christian and despise organized religion. Way to invalidate your point!
But I respect Freedom of Religion and people’s right to believe in the God of their choice and its theology. I am opposed, however, to proselytizing in any form and trying to impose one’s view on others.
This is a sad day! What happened to values and respect for others? That’s right, gay people can be somewhat socially conservative too! Democrats always label and group people! Makes me sick! I saw a clip of the anti-war protesters on Fox the yesterday and this guy went up to them with pictures of Dick Cheney,Mitt Romeny,Sara Palin,Bobby Jindal,etc.. They didn’t know who anyone was! What was more shocking lots of them were wearing their Obama “hope” tee-shirts and they couldn’t identify JOE BIDEN from a picture! My other favorite was a man who looked older and they showed him Charlie Crist and he says, “I know his face…uuummm..he’s someone in the military”! These fools get on blogs and try to lecture ME about voting on ISSUES! I stay up on ALL World news and current events, plus I’m a political junkie! The Democratic Party has been hijacked by neo-liberals and I want no part!
“The Democratic Party has been hijacked by neo-liberals and I want no part!”
You are so right – just because we’ve had years of super-right-wing nuts, doesn’t mean we want to replace them with a bunch of super-left-wing nuts! That is part of the appeal of McCain – he appeals more to the average American. Somebody get Jesse Jackson in here to get rid of these nuts!
Pathetic isn’t it. All these ignorant kids with lip and no knowledge. And they think they know what’s right for the country.
Based on what????
I strongly suggest that some energetic reporter who cares (is this an oxymoron) go to Chicago Public Schools and talk to teacher union representatives who know about the Annenberg Challenge.
I don’t think creationism should be taught in schools, but I do believe in it! People should have the freedom to believe in what they want. We need to stop demonizing each other over different world views. I don’t know what else to say. I RESPECT everyone’s right to believe what they believe and to vote for who they want. This is just a really sad day for America. Is this the hope we’ve been promised?

There’s a GD America for you.
HAHAHAHAHAH!! AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! HAHAHAHAH!!!!
Can’t blame Alaska for wanting a lot of their country back considering how much of it is under federal government control. Again, this is a total non-issue and only makes those flogging it look dumb. Oh, did I offend Obama again?
Put upn or shut up. There are NO records of her belonging to that party. Go slink back to DAILY KOS.
ummm. ummmm?
Now where have I heard that before. I got it, Obalhblah knows you. He’s always calling your name during speeches. Well I, ummm and then ummmm.
Yep that’s it.
Your 15 minutes of fame is up. Buh-bye.
The vetting of Obama. All in good time. All in good time. This is all playing out as planned. Except that Sarah Palin is a better running mate than any of the short list. Third week in Sept, be watching!
I just read that Bristol’s fiancee will be at the RNC convention along with Sarah’s family. He’s going to brave the maelstrom of the press. I admire that. Makes me think of what a coward Barry is, not having his grandma at his convention.
Yeah, where is that typical white woman, Barky’s granma?
This is going to be gruesome. This election year has turned into a soap opera. I feel sorry for the Palin’s. I can here just hear them criticizing his appearance or checking his school records or looking up his parents.

The POS’s Obummer, Axeldick, Pelosi, Dean, and Reid fear Pallin because she just may be the one to cut them off at the knees for illegal electineering and fraud.
I’m still waiting for the POS Pelosi to tell us what her plan was/is for Iraq upon which she ran her campaing in ‘06. She had no fucking idea then and she has no fucking idea now. She used the lives of our troops as pawns for her ugly profiteering political position.
Someone, please tell me we won’t need another revolution to restore free speech and free elections; that these bastards will one day disappear. Please!

WE still need a full analysis of Michelle Obama’s lack of patriotism. And there is, of course, the whitey tape. We also need to know why Michelle Obama attended a fashion show with Rezko after the Chicago media exposed the home purchase and the Rezko indictments.
All McCain and Palin have to do over the next two months is keep this election close. The “whitey tape” will then sink Obama in the election’s last week. I can’t wait to see it replayed on the news shows over & over & over, exposing Michelle Obama for what she really is and, my association, her husband.
Hands off my WWWWWWWWIIIIIIIIFFFFFEEEEE!!!!

Perhaps Larry can do a section just devoted to this.
Maybe someone should be tracing some of the bots that come here. We could be sitting on a goldmine.
If she was vetted, they did a crappy job! Tonight we find out that both Gidget And her husband belonged to the AIP for years up until 2003. There are speeches on You Tube that the Obama camp is passing around to the media where they’re talking about succeeding from the USA!! This group seriously questions the Palins patriotism. It’s really bad. The National enquirer is in Alaska with interviews from TYodd’s affairs, Bristol’s friends who say she sleeps around , the AIp etc etc She’s the target and there’s a neverending supply of crap. Biden said tonight “Is there anybody in that family that’s capable of telling the truth?” I loved it!!
Joannie, you need to check in with your social worker and get on Obummer’s ass. That 7.50 per hour is not enough for the shit your slinging.
Or better yet, get fucking lost. Your lies carry no weight here.
I know. They never provide any links to this supposed videos. Where is it? I hate these people spreading crap. Michelle Obama is on tape saying America is a mean country and that she is only just now proud of her country.
Joanie, your ignorance is showing. It’s “seceding” not “succeeding”–two very different words with very different meanings. You know, if they were “succeeding” then you wouldn’t be troubling your wee head about it all.
Sleeps around? …… well at least her exlovers aren’t showing up dead …….. Remember Donald Young!
If you were an expert on vetting, you wouldn’t be here posting on Oblahblah’s payroll.
I understand you were told by your bot supervisors that this was a plum site to troll but they are mistaken. You need to go back and ask for a new assignment as you’ll make no converts here.
Can someone get to the Rep to answer Palin issue with Barack Obama answer that a baby was punishment if his daughter got pregnant as a teen
Republicans offer service. Michelle Obama offers a race card.
Vetted yes – but they will continue to smear her. And the MSM will continue hands off with Obama. Speaking of which:
HOW can CNN have Donna Brazile on? Don’t they understand how REPULSIVE she is? That’s prejudicial! How can they do that? GET RID OF BRAZILE!
Silly people!
Don’t you know that Obama is vetted because he has been campaigning for 18 months. All Sarah Palin did was govern Alaska for 24 months!
And don’t you know that getting pregnant out of wedlock at age 17 is really, really bad, unless you are Barack Obama’s Mother!
And don’t you know that being a Senator from the really, really big state of Delaware is far more important than being the Governor of that puny little state Alaska!
LOL. The double standards abound, don’t they?
McCain needs to “stand by his woman” Sarah Palin.No matter what. Sarah Palin needs to be the strong pitbull that she had to be to oust the corrupt repubs in Alaska and NEVER back down or give BO’s thugs the satisfaction of seeing her back down. If I were her I’d parade my whole beautiful family, pregnant teen, Down’s syndrome baby, husband everyone at the RNC to show that BO won’t take care of his brother and won’t invite his white or African grandmother anywhere. BO’s people are walking into a trap, with all this hate spewing out they are opening the door for McCain to start going after the One.
BTW I’ve seen several instances in the international press of how Axelrod’s bullshit machine has bamboozled people elsewhere. Google for “Obamaism and Clintonism came together”. If that isn’t the biggest joke. Axelrod understands the Big Lie better than Hitler did. I think if I had to I’d pick Angel Adolf over Demon David.
Any wathcing the republican covnention?
IMPORTANT FOR THE REP TO PLAY
BARACK OBAMA SAID A BABY WAS A PUNISHMENT JUST LIKE A STD TO A TEEN
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNzmly28Bmg
hey all – this sounds so familiar?
Sara Palin must quit
Hillary Clinton must quit and drop out of the race.
and the drumbeat goes on. these people simply picked up their misogyny and sexism where they left off when Clinton suspended.
Fat lot of good it did them the first time. It really divided the Democrats. I guess they think it will work better the second time around. Someone in that campaign is insane.
EXACTLY! Except Little Lord Fauntleroy can’t sick his Dem babysitters on Sarah and DEMAND SHE STEP DOWN. He’ll spread nasty rumors in the media that the Republicans “didn’t vet her” and took on all that baggage and rue the day now and are thinking about dumping her. When she called herself a pitbull, she threw down the gauntlet. The Republicans knew to expect this, anyway; they’ve got a file on Obama and have more dirt on him than we or anyone else, I’m sure of that. Sarah Palin is neither meek nor timid. She’ll bury the Dems. Wait till the debates. The Republicans made it clear during that they will stick up for her.
He’ll be vetted. Just not by the MSM news.
Why does Obama and Biden and the campaign refer to Palin as a Mayor? Isn’t this disrespectful? Palin is not Mayor Palin she’s Governor Palin. It seems odd to me that the media doesn’t bother to point this out to Obama and Biden.
Just as Obama wants to paint McCain as the Bush 3rd term he tries to belittle Palin’s accomplishments and the leadership she has shown as Governor of Alaska.
It seems every issue they attack Palin on is during her years as Mayor. Obama even compares his experience with Palin’s Mayor experience. Obama can not compete with Palin on the Mayor level and IMO never on the Governor level.
Talk about being sexist.
Sarah needs to begin her speech with the following:
“My name is Sarah Palin. And I am the Governor of the great state of Alaska!”
It’s called framing.
They are attempting to diminish their listener’s perception of Sarah Palin’s status by downplaying the offices and the responsibility she won from Alaska’s voters.
It is standard Karl Rove operating procedure.
It is standard operating procedure from the sexist pig operating manual.
And apparently it is now standard operating procedure at Saint Obama’s campaign cesspool.
Google George Lakoff and Frank Luntz to read up on framing and other campaign techniques.
As Luntz says, “It’s not what you say, it’s what people hear.”
The MSM absolutely should have corrected the mistake. She was voted into office by a landslide and enjoys a high approval rating by her constituents. She has earned the right to be addressed as Gov. Sarah Palin.

is he going to do that today or tomorrow?

america first!
Back when I was still a Democrat, like 6 mos ago, LOL, I tried to warn people not to dismiss McCain as a doddering old fool. Don’t underestimate him, he’s no slacker. Old age, skill, and treachery wins everytime. Of course nobody listened. But I absolutely stand by those words. McCain is an experienced politician, he vetted Sarah Palin in every way imaginable.
The fact that Obama supporters can’t seem to attack her with anything but smears about her daughter’s pregnancy is proof of that.
I too warned people not to underestimate McCain about 6 months ago and while I still identified with the Democratic (not) party. But they did underestimate him and look what they got.
I’m Republican and I had to remind other R’s not to underestimate McCain!
This video illustrates just how hypocritical Obama is…
http://www.youtube.com/v/Obrd9uHpGRE&hl=en&fs=1
If Palin hadn’t gone up against her own party I might believe her family is are the terrible people they’re painted to be. Do you really think the Repubs and Dems whose toes she’s stepped on during her time in office wouldn’t have trumpeted this to the media?
They’ve had Repub operatives checking her out since May. I think everyone knows Repubs are masters at digging up dirt on anyone. Even their own if they don’t toe the party line.
Obama says leave the family members alone. Biden says no one in the family (not just Palin) can tell the truth. I guess Biden didn’t get the memo.
Jon Stewart got it right.

1. Wright
2. Rezko.
3. Ayers.
4. Chicago Annenberg Challenge a.k.a Woods Foundation
5. Minister Louis Farrakhan
All of these issues came up during the primaries, were discussed during the primaries, and Obama STILL won.
Oh really, lol.
Wright – Obambi tossed him under the bus ONLY AFTER the questions would not go away. Obambi didn’t come clean on Wright, far from it, lol. Obambi has a 20 year history with Wright that does NOT go poof overnight.
Rezko – You mean the guy who had his supposed BANKRUPT wife buy the $600,000 lot for Obambi, so that Obambi could buy his home, that’s hilarious. Now Rezko is in jail awaiting his sentence from da judge. What’s even more hilarious was watching Obambi telling the Tribune that Rezko only donated $40k corrupt dollars to Obambi, but that number kept going up every week as Obambi gave another $40k back and then another $50k and so on and on, lol.
Ayers + Obambi(Chicago Annenberg Challenge a.k.a Woods Foundation )
Obambis says Ayers is just some guy in the hood, ya ok, I’ll but that, NOT. Fact is Obambi has the Justice Dept. involved to try and STOP some real facts about Obambi + Ayers making it main stream. Ayers and Obambi were in charge of over $100 million dollars that they ended up funneling out to their corrupt friends to lay the base for their political aspirations. It’s no wonder Obambi and Ayers WILL NOT talk publicly about thie time together handing out those millions.
Minister Louis Farrakhan + Wright + Obambi , yes they all love Israel. *snark*
OK smart guy but these things are already out in the public. People have formed their opinions about Obama. And McCain.
But Palin………
The only poll that counts, francis, is two months away.
No, Democrats who have never voted, got their palms greased, are black or are well-off and white think this is all fine.
The kids think he’s Kanye West.
The party bosses found a puppet with this new “change” act, and he can be bought.
The whites feel guilty and enjoy telling their friends how young and withit and enlightened they are.
Altogether, you’re looking at a McGovern election.
The fact that no one in the democratic party has run Donley Brassiere’s ugly, bigoted fat ass down the road like the kleptomaniac scullery maid she resembles makes me proud to have NO connection to her, it, ObamaYoMomma or Jimmy Carter any longer.
By descending into backdoor attacks upon a teenager, here is a summary of my entire stock of goodwill towards them:
Fuck them. Fuck them one, fuck them all.
Strong position statement to follow.
in Chicago politics neither party calls the other party out on corruption…
why? because they are all dirty and they know that if one of them gets nailed then that person is going to squeal and they all get popped…
that is why the swamp that is Chicago politics has been so corrupt for generations…
so, you better believe that there are plenty of Republican and Democrat politicians in alaska who want revenge on Palin…
and imagine how afraid Obama and other politicians are of Mccain/Palin getting elected… it means the end of the gravy train, free cash money express…
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
i forgot to add, that is why they didn’t want Hillary even though the people chose her…
and this is they don’t want Mccain/Palin too…
anyone who puts country first is a threat to their way of life of plundering our tax dollars and extorting money from special interests…

Lets make sure more Americans see Sarah Palin speech tomorrow more than that BArackopolis spectcale last week. We will shatter her into the political campaign with 50 million hits.!!!. Instead of 18 million cracks, Sarah will plunge through the ceiling with 50 million pieces of glass and turn them into votes in November. I sense a huge Go Sarah Movement about to take America by storm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s almost a given that more might be watching. First you have all the Obambi thugs that tried to trash her, then all the media pundits that tried to trash her, then all the Hillary supporters that have genuine interest in hearing her, then the Conservatives that have high hopes for her.
So many that have tried to trash her are hoping she will fall on her face, low expectations and so on. I’m thinking Palin will make many eat their words, I certainly hope so, as I’m a strong believer in Karma.
This what’s funny to me. In going into overdrive trashing her, they only called more attention to her. Now more people who might not have watched will be watching.
Suppose she hits it not just out of the park, but a grand slam.
I think 0bama and his people are ridiculous. Can you seriously imagine these people running a country?
I’m not a Christian music lover by any means but wow RACHAEL LAMPA, can she ever belt one out there.
I used to know a roadie for one of the Christian Rock acts. He said he ate great and got lots of sleep every night. I thought he’d be dismissive or give me the skinny on their hypocrisy, but he didn’t have a bad word to say.
It’s not hard to see why they cleave to each other. They’re resolutely nice people in a sea of hypocrisy.
Mind you, I’m saying nothing about their more ambitious preachers.
OK here we go. Newt on O’Reilly challenging NBC to report on Annenberg and the $48million dollars and what happened between Ayers and Barry! I’m betting that it’s a heads up. You do it now or we will. Of course, we will anyway but just giving you a chance to do your job.
48 million dollars buys a lot of friends and influence… and votes too…
oh dear…

Very good to hear – let the vetting begin.
Correct me if I’m wrong, was it not $100 million plus, as in $48 million + matched to over $100 million. Thanks
That was my impression, over $100 million, but I’m sure there are creative ways accountants can describe it. However, the $100 million: There used to be talk about the (unknown precisely, but large) amount, perhaps even $100 million, that he seened to have ready to go at the start of his campaign, and where did it come from. There was a theory that Republicans had somehow funneled to his campaign, to set him up for a fall, but I couldn’t buy that. I could buy money laundering from CAC, Middle Eastern bundlers, but not the Repubs.
seemed, not seened
And not counting Combine Repubs.
wooooooohooooooooo let the butt kicking begin!
Newt forgot to mention that 0bama lied about Ayers just being someone in his neighborhood. And that’s important. He said it during a debate so I know there’s a video of it somewhere.
Barry to on O’Reilly Thursday. I’d like to double dare him to go on Hannity instead where he’s also been invited.
All kidding aside,
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS DANGEROUS.
Democrats dismiss Obama’s past, his lousy character, his lies, his shady associations, his grotesque and cruel abortion ideas, his very serious lack of experience, his lack of civility with women, and other failings and deficiencies,
WE WILL NOT.
Down with Barack Obama. Long live America!
RedState.com has used internet forensics to identify Charles Hartley, 24, of Columbus, Ohio as the diarist on Daily Kos who started the rumor that Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy with her youngest son, Trig, to “cover” for daughter Bristol.
This lie, based oddly on last season’s Desperate Housewives Marcia Cross storyline, was apparently what SoetorObama’s camp used to get the media talking about Bristol Palin, her engagement to Levi Johnston, and the child the engaged young couple is expecting.
Now, attention turns to Charles Hartley to determine if, indeed, this man is on the SoetorObama payroll. If he is, the SoetorObama has promised to fire him, immediately.
It also will make any thinking person wonder exactly how involved SoetorObama is in all of this.

FIRE THEM ALL! THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE THE ELECTION FOR BARKY
Whoever it is, they’ll take one for the team. We need to find out who gave the order.
Jeremiah wrote on this. After reading it, Charlie’s was a shill account. It goes straight to Plouffe. But the details are still fuzzy. Just a bunch of IP addy’s.
I think the GOP is setting a trap for the Dems and Newt gave the first clue. The pro Obama blogs and media are making “vetting” a major issue with Palin. After the convention, I think the GOP will start leaking the dirt they’ve gathered all these months on Obama and his associations and the hypocracy and complicity of the media will be on full display as the media tries to explain why these things didn’t rate the kind of investigative reporting that Gov. Palin is enduring.
I agree.
It’s coming.
*grabs popcorn*
I’M LIKING THIS MCCAIN TICKET. IMAGINE A STAUNCH DEM LIKING THIS! WHEN WE GOT KICKED OUT OF THE PARTY AND CARLY WAS THERE TO SPEAK TO US ON MAC’S BEHALF IT WAS LIKE BEING LOST IN THE WOODS AND BEING RESCUED. HE HEARS US. MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT. HIS POLICIES ARE CENTRIST. TO MUCH TO LIST. WHAT A RELIEF I HAVE SOMEONE TO VOTE for besides a marxist, anti-american, self centered, dangerous chauvanist.
NOBAMA-EVER!
It very clear that the Republicans are indeed playing a rope and dope strategy on the Obama camp. They have something damaging that we have no clue on.
Otherwise, why would they keep hidign Sarah and aloowing these attacks to go on. SHe should be on every media outlet by now. I can’t wait to see what they have up their sleeve.
Her speech tomorrow will be th most watched ever.
http://www.workingmannews.com/ scoop!
the national enquirer had discovered the bristol pregnancy and went to sarah and told her if she didn’t reveal it they would!
http://www.workingmannews.com/
Yeah, right. Fat chance. Enquirer wouldn’t throw away that. It would have doubled this year’s profits.

“PUMAs for Palin: Clinton’s 18 Million PUMA Democrats support McCain-Palin” Latest Video From Paul F Villarreal
Stunning Video!!!!
It is scary to give any one party the majority. Dems were about to be taking over..this is not good for the checks and balances…this makes way for fascism.
Barry is the antithesis of a statesman. The whole Dem Party will abandon him as soon as he wins. It will be a free for all everywhere, in the Administration, Congress and the Supreme Court. He will preside over a total calamity.
Latest polls …not so good for GOP

Obama 50

Sounds like most Puma are headed to Obama ticket
The only poll that counts, yoblow, is two months away.

WOW! Thanks for posting that! Next they’ll be watching the vote fraud as McCain Camp is PREPARED to stop it! I know for sure. And there will be arrrests made to anyone caught doing fraud. Brace yourself. Obots are going to jail and Acorn workers are too..the roof is ready to blow off..the polls are lying through their teeth..obama is not really up 50%..fat chance..talk about desperation.
Lieberman is on now at the convention.
ABC has the convention on. It’s really good.
By your own logic then, Obama’s been vetted.
Now, to your other points –
1. Trinity United Church of Christ. Obama’s 20-year membership in an explicitly racist church, a church with rhetoric too hot for Oprah.
Two clips, pulled from hundreds and hundreds of hours of sermon do not show the TUCC is “explicitly racist”. To call Black Liberation Theology and the Black Value System “racist” displays a profound lack of understanding. As Dr. Wright says:
2. Rezko. Obama’s ties to Tony Rezko and the 2005 purchase of the Obamas’ home. Obama funnelling money to Rezko’s sleazy businesses.
The house deal was revealed in the Trib on 11/1/2006. Neither the Trib, the Sun-Times nor Patrick Fitzgerald found anything illegal about the transaction. Obama has donated $157,835 in Rezko-linked contributions to charity and has called the real estate deal “boneheaded.” Their relationship is well-documented. If you’ve got something new to add, let’s hear it. HRC tried to make Rezko an issue and it turned out that nobody really cared.
3.Ayers. Obama’s extensive ties to unrepentant terroist Bill Ayers.
4. Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC)
[ADMINISTRATOR: PLEASE CLEAN UP YOUR LANGUAGE.]
They’re all ——– I wouldn’t spit on Rezko, Ayers or Wright if they were on fire.
When Wright said, “Hillary ain’t never been called a nigger,” he was speaking about me. I could have been Nicole Simpson. I could have been raped or mugged one night walking back to my apt. one night, because I’m a white b—-h. Luckily for me, I’m self-aware when I’m alone at night and was never accosted. I’ve also been decent to the people in my neighborhood.
Ayers never turned himself in. He fled from justice, talks down about “white trash” like me and thinks I deserve to have my tax money pilfered. A man who has never honestly faced what he’s done, who gloats that he is above the law, is nobody I would trust my fate to and is nobody I would associate with or respect.
Farakhan is a just a crazy m——–r or a con man. There were no women at that march. Whatever he is preaching, it doesn’t like my kind. I’m white and a woman. Surprise, surprise, two strikes against me from another of Obama’s friends.
I don’t discriminate against people I don’t know, but I know these guys. They have big enough mouths to make sure of it. That Obama hangs out with them AND behaved the way he has in this election speaks volumes to me. I know who I am and have nothing to feel guilty about. [DELETED BY ADMINISTRATOR]
“The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government.”
-Todd Palin
(very nice you jackasses)
Link? Michelle said she hates our government on the stump.
Same old N.Q. shit; different day. Exactly how is a huge article in a major newspaper magazine qualifies as not being vetted is a mystery. William Ayers was front and center right after 9/11 and then again in every Hillary blog of any consequence. Rev Wright of “god damn America” was all over the airwaves for weeks. Obama’ Supposed ties with NOI have been navel gazed to the nth degree. We even got introduced to the charming Roman Catholic Priest that runs St. Sabina in Chicago. Obama has had multiple dump trucks of mud dumped on him by Hillary, McCain and sites like HillBuzz and N.Q. all to little effect. He has now cracked the important 50% “leaning toward” yardstick in the Gallop Daily Tracking.
If anyone is panicking about Palin it seems to be the Republicans. She has been brutalized for the last four days. There is a very good reason for this. The real question voters have about her is ” if she can’t control her own teenaged daughter how the hell is she going to control the V.P’s office? The question may not exactly be fair but that is how politics works with the “low information” voters.
Exactly. Way to point out NQ’s hypocrisy and BS. Obama’s business has been laid out for the world to see, and he was not found wanting. Palin’s business is slowly coming out and she is about to be. Face facts, PUMAs: McCain made a mistake with Palin. A campaign killing mistake.
Who are you trying to convince here? Each other? You guys crack me up.
“She’s also a potential magnet for disaffected Hillary Clinton voters, many of whom are just looking for a reason not to vote for Obama.”
I like Palin a lot but I didn’t need her to find a reason not to vote for BO. He’s given me dozens of reasons not to vote for him already!
McCain/Palin ‘08
Hillary 2012
GO PUMA!
To Jimbo on 2008-09-02 18:42:54,
I am a Hillary supporter, have helped
in her campaign in any way I could, am
pro-choice, believe in respecting individual rights, in separation of church and state with individuals right to worship or not according to their conscience, believe in freedom of speech and in democracy, believe in the accomplishments and developments of science and benefit from them.
And I’m a creationist! I don’t think I fit the description of a rightwing nut.
But I must agree, if I want my children to learn about or family religion, I teach them in the privacy of our home and of our church. We are all Americans. My vote will go to McCain/Palin as a vote of protest against the corruption of the Democratic Party seen during this primary run. As for Palin, one of us women will have to break the highest
glass barrier at this time, and she is the closest to achieving it. She is smart, poised and has had executive experience. Why not? Let’s help her
and help ourselves since we’re at it.
I have enjoyed reading, pondering over, and learning from issues exposed from different points of view in these blogs.
Let’s continue our vigilance regarding separation of Church and State
McCain/Palin ‘08
Clinton/Palin ‘12!
Barack Obama. A wholly owned subsidiary of George Soros.
Everything you ever
wantedneeded to know about Barack Obama.Does Andrea Mitchell have any pride?
You’d think she’d care about her reputation but she keeps dishing out Obama campaign spin.
This weekend on Meet the Press Andrea said Palin is like “Annie Oakley get your gun”
Just like Obama said about Hill.
How can the MSM even dare to go on the air with their vicious, mean treatment of Sarah Palin, when they haven’t even bothered to investigate Barack Obama, and indeed have protected him from any reports of his anti-American and terrorist associates.
I have always been a Democrat, but I will vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin with pride.
The Democratic Party is dead to me. I have never been so ashamed of any organization, with which I have been a part, in my life. I would have never believed that they would select a nominee for President whose closest associates have been anti-American racists and terrorists or that they would so savagely vilify, demean and trash another Democratic candidate as they did Hillary Clinton, and then expect her to unify the party.
Judging from the DNC’s treatment of Sarah Palin, the Democratic Party is a party of women haters, despite their claims of offering a big tent. There are no issues that the DNC supports that are as important as decent treatment of all its members, and it has failed miserably in that respect.
There is going to be a tremendous backlash against the Democratic Party, and I look forward to seeing it happen.
Apparently there’s a lot of information that Obama isn’t releasing to the public:
1. Occidental College records—Not released
2. Columbia College records—Not released
3. Columbia Thesis paper—“not available”
4. Harvard College records—Not released
5. Selective Service Registration—Not released
6. Medical records—Not released
7. Illinois State Senate schedule—“not available”
8. Law practice client list—Not released
9. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate—Not released
10. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth—Not released
11. Harvard Law Review articles published—None
12. University of Chicago scholarly articles—None
How did the chicken cross the road? With a passport that is how. Now how he got a passport is another question.
But if any of you have a few hours and want to read about it, stay on this website and find out the questions and some answers about The Obama (if that is even his real name).
I am totally embarrassed of the Democratic Party. I can no longer support the party. Clinton supporters have felt cheated and I address this letter to all of them.
This primary has revealed DNC “leadership” to be corrupt, mean-spirited, and lacking respect for basic democratic principles. They have completely and effectively ceded the moral high ground to Republicans at this point.
1. We have seen the race card played, with assistance from both Dean and Brazile.
2. We have seen rampant sexism with no objection by the DNC.
3. We have seen the superdelegates endorse as quid-pro-quo for campaign contributions.
4. We have seen arm-twisting of the congressional delegates by “neutral” Nancy Pelosi to declare for Obama.
5. We have seen an unabashed ageism campaign against John McCain, calling him “confused”, and that he has “lost his bearings”.
6. We’ve seen a softening of support for the gay and lesbian community.
7. We’ve seen caucus cheating.
8. We’ve seen intimidation of Hillary supporters, hack attacks and coordinated threats against voters and media that dare to dissent.
9. We’ve seen manipulation of the party nominating system and media to favor one candidate over another and the outright redistribution of votes cast for one Hillary and given to Obama.
This is now a democratic party in name only.
I believe that Palin has been scrutinized by McCain’s people…and an AP article that I read yesterday confirmed it!
One would have to think the party operatives were total blunder-heads…and we know better!
They can choose some real “losers” but they get them ELECTED!
Never under-estimate their abilities!
Now I’m one of them!!!
[...] Palin Vetted; Obama Remains Unvetted (by Bud White at No Quarter) The Media is pushing the narrative that Sarah Palin was not vetted. Any close observer of Republican campaigns knows this is false. Republicans are a minority party who continue to win elections because they are professionals; vetting a candidate is a no-brainer for the political veterans running McCain’s operation. Indeed, it was reported in May that McCain’s people were interviewing Palin for the number two job… [...]
Do we just sit back and watch Obama who is probably not vetted possibly win? I am afraid with his shady past that he could be blackmailed. He could send nuclear weapons to a small contry. This man needs the FBI looking into him, it would be nice if it were now instead of later. Is there something sexual too? Who knows! He’s never been vetted.
