Omg! What great speeches! Bam! Boom! Pow!!!!!!
I love this: THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO USE CHANGE TO PROMOTE THEIR CAREER, AND THERE ARE THOSE WHO USE THEIR CAREER TO PROMOTE CHANGE.
Spot on!!!
LOL………
Checkmate to Oblahblah
I LOVE SARAH PALIN!
I LOVE HILLARY CLINTON EVEN MORE!!!
I CAN MULTITASK BEING AN AMERICAN MOM AND I LOVE BOTH!!!!!!
My wife, a Green Party member who voted for Gore and hates GWB, was in tears listening to Palin speak. The DNC really blew it this time!
INCREDIBLE SPEECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m just hearing ads. Are you guys talking right now?
I see now why the media and OBAMA are scared of her!!!!! She is wonderful…down to earth and reformer!!!!
Gulliani did very well too!!!!
Big mistake the thing into a pep rally with boo choruses and staged moments.
Those Boos were for Obama and his dumb experience He thinks he has..
Mccain/Palin
Mr.,,,go away…obama troll!!!!!
Mike, Mr. Murder is NOT a troll. He is one of our longtime, faithful readers. Clear back to the days when we were a tiny, tiny blog with maybe a couple hundred clicks per day.
He has his opinions.
DIVERSE OPINIONS are welcome here. Always. He expresses himself intelligently — always — and he has something to say. He never indulges in gratuitous attacks.
Haha. Diverse opinions are welcome here?
Yeah, OK.
DIVERSE does NOT equal “you’re not dems! and if even if you are, don’t let the door hit you on the way out”
Screw my ex-fellow progressives.
NEVER AGAIN
HillaryDem4McCain/Palin
she just won the election !!!
Go Sarah!!
where is the chat button now at blog radio??
If Hillary didn’t have to worry about the AA backlash from the democrat party, she would have done the same thing to Obama! Sarah is strong like Hillary but supported by her party! She called out the Drive By Media for what they are hypocrites in Barry’s pocket! If Hillary doesn’t run in 2012, I’m voting for this woman!
If you vote for this woman, Hillary may very well run in 2012.
Keep telling yourself that.
Hillary’s ashamed of you.
Moron, the poll from Rasmussen is proof. Hillary will still win in a straight fight with Palin!
Hillary ‘12!!!
Nothing I would like better than to see two women run for POTUS in 12!!
I am not threatened by successful women in the other party :0)
Capable, competent and confident!
Matt needs to write all of her speeches!
Great delivery!
A+++++
WOW!! IMPRESSIVE.
Good for her. KO started the smear already by saying ho condescending she was toward Obama. LOL…
Gawd he is such an idiot. I flipped between CNN, MSNBC and Fox; I had to abandon MessNBC. CNN was actually quite fair. Donna Brazzile is supposed to be on soon.
She was great! I see now why they call her Saracuda–she went for the jugular. Biden and Barkt are toast. I can’t wait for the
slaughterdebates.sweet baby jesus!
its 4 am here in London, UK… i woke up a few minutes ago to hear Sarah talking mid-speech…
holy mother of god… she just kicked Baracktrack’s ass…
i mean she seriously rawked….
i can’t wait to hear her whole speech…
every 10 seconds she dropped some serious truth woop-ass on the “community organizer”
its like as if she had read No Quarter over the last week and put all our ideas and rants into one kick ass speech….
she is amazing…
oh my god…
damn…
obama looks 100 times the cowardly weasel he was this morning…
woot woot!!!!!
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
I noticed that there were several things she said that were posted talked about right here. All the speeches tonight had recurrent underlying themes that played to the HRC supporters. It was really well executed.
posted AND talked.
I’m too tired to type anymore. What an excellent night.
We knew what you meant, Ferd!
Ha, ha, ha…Chris “tingle down his leg” Matthews said she (Palin) would not appeal to the HRC voters…her target was small town America. He’s such a dunce. Keith OvertheTop looked pale and Madcow couldn’t stop talking about the sarcasm and insults. Old Eugene said her speech was bifurcated. You could tell that none of them knew what hit them. Even I was ducking during that speech…LOL. Finally, someone is not afraid to call Obama out for who he is!
HIGH FIVE!!!
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!! PALIN POWER!!!!!
Beats hopey/changey/empty/twinkie powered nothingness……YEEEEEEEHHHHAAAAAA!!!
Yeah I loved it……..get over it!
Wolf Blitzer says “…an amazing speech…a star has been born!”
Chris Matthews also said “a star has been born!”
the next time america hears Hope and Change out of Baracktrack’s mouth the whole of america will be laughing…
Baracktrack is a joke…
thank you Mccain / Palin!
thank you!
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
PUMAS FOR PALIN!!
Whoot Whoot
GO SARAH~~
W00T!!!
BOOYAH!!!!
MAC/PALIN 08
HILLARY 12
Her speech was simply incredible…filled with facts, compassion, humor and incredible jabs at “the opponent”…she didn’t knock it out of the park, she knocked it into orbit!
She is fearless.
Impressive! She could have gone on longer…
My wife and I sat and watched this and afterward she said ‘My vote’s set’.
The speaker and speech were perfect. We loved the lines where she compared McCain and Obama.
Obama should stick to his senate seat or go back to his community organizing…
She is the one we have been waiting for!!!!
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
She delivered the goods … more than I thought possible and under quite a bit of pressure. No whining. Gave as good as she took. I also thought the Gov. of Hawaii was impressive. Watched the thing on CSPAN so I was one more American she was connecting with. She can really focus when she is laying the gloves on. I wouldn’t want to try to get anything past her. 0bama and Plugs are toast.
Excuse me, but it is Hillary who we’ve been waiting for. We just have to wait a little longer and make do with what we have here. I’m voting McCain/Palin to purge the “Democratic” Party of the Obamanuts, MoveOn nuts, extreme left-wing nuts and His “Holiness” himself. Then in 2012, Hillary is going to get elected.
Hillary ‘12!!!
For now, McCain/Palin ‘08!
Even Hillary has class and style,I’m sure she would praise this woman for what she did tonite..
I’m anxious to hear what Clinton has to say about Sarah’s speech..She’s always been a good person to reply with positve feed back,and I don’t expect anything different this time..
Sarah deserves a standing ovation tonite,from all men and woman,hard working Americans.
I don’t think there’s anything in that speech Clinton wouldn’t agree with..Clinton likes Mccain,and has always said Obama wasn’t ready to be president..Sarah just said it differently..imo
Loved Hillary,and hope she comes back some day.But now we need to make sure our Country is in good hands..And those Hands are with Mccain and Palin.
imo
Gerard – I love your enthusiasm; especially at 4 am!
You rawk!!!
This woman could get me to switch parties. I swear, I felt like I was looking at a future president. My mouth is still hanging open. My bet is most have never seen the likes of someone like this. She was amazing.
Well, I’ve seen someone better and it’s Hillary. I’ll just wait for now, but help bring Obama down this time.
I’m with you Observer. I liked Gov. Palin, she delivered, she style and grace. But, Hillary is pure gold. It was bitter sweet tonight to watch all those Republican women with those joyous looks on their faces and even the men seem to understand what a prize they have been given. I would vote for Hillary in a heartbeat if I had the chance because I still believe she is the best the country has ever had. Damn the DNC to hell and may those who brought her down rot forever.
Amen.
Hillary has it all. Expertise, experience and a proven track record. She was vetted for decades – ruthlessly so, and came up clean.
And Sara! Oh yes. She didn’t need Bruce Springsteen and Free food, music and BEER and an American Idol rock star set. Voters heard straight talk coming from a show horse AND work horse.
Raw authenticity on a bare stage. Hillary had it, so does Palin. Rocky2 delivered the knock out punch after Rocky1 was knee capped by the RBC and obots.
Rise, WOMEN, Rise. If not now, when?
Hillary ran the marathon, Sarah gets the trophy.
Score! Elvis has just left the building!
yes or do some good and help the poor in those apartments he turned his back on …. No better time than winter go show them all what he should of done before..
Gov Palin hit the ball out of the park.
the democrats are toast.
I’m now officially a Republican!!!
Thank you John McCain for the gift you gave America
and thank you Hillary for making Sarah possible.
Hillary will be back on 4 years, Seattle Moss. Palin is just for the purpose to get rid of Obama.
IMO if McCain wins, 4 years from now there will be 2 women vying for President.
And wouldn’t that be sweet revenge against the good old boy establishment that shafted Hillary.
Instant karma!
If that day comes, I’ll vote for Hillary over Palin.
But for now, McCain/Palin ‘08!
Pitbull……Lipstick……I friggin love it.
She Rocks

cnn.com
It’s a low poll,because most people don’t listen to CNN anymore because of the negativity,,Go to Fox,they have polls and there large ..
Last one was over 42,000 people
For Palin being the vp
She took on the do nothing senate too!!!!!
CNN does not know jack shit about nothing. Pardon my “french” but I am “mad as hell and not going to take it anymore”. This feeling that everyone is experiencing about this mother of five with her perfectly imperfect family came at a cost borne by Hillary Clinton. Finally people are coming to the defense of a woman. It’s about damn time! Too bad it didn’t happen 9 montha ago because as much as I am in support for John McCain, and a bit more enthusiastically at the moment, I still believe that Hillary Clinton is by far the better candidate for POTUS.
The moment that Sarah Palin and her family,are experiencing is thanks to Hillary Rodham Clinton. Hillary in 2012!
As a past PTA leader (and a mother of five, 3 girls & 2 boys, myself) I must say that I absolutely love the idea of an ADVOCATE in the White House.
I also loved the contrast of Cindy McCains admiration for Sarah Palin and the job Sarah did tonite written allover her face tonite with the god awful scowl that Michelle Obama wore all through Hillary Clinton’s speech last Tuesday. Cindy McCain seems like a classy lady. Can’t wait for the dirt on MO!
Great job tonite John and Sarah. Obama is going down!
Yes, I was sick at the arrogant tone and look of Michelle Obama. It is as if she believe she had the bloody right to be judgmental of our wonderful Hillary Clinton. Screw Michelle Obama!
I feel guilty, because Hillary is once more sidelined with the appearance of Palin. But I take comfort in the hope that if McCain/Palin is victorious, we can purge the “Democratic” Party of the disease that is Obama, and have Hillary be victorious come 2012.
Hillary, always!!!!!
For now, McCain/Palin ‘08!
Good point! I noticed that also. Michelle looked like she was sucking on lemons when Hillary was speaking & Cindy Mac was beaming at Sarah. At least Cindy can appreciate other women…especially one who will help her to become First Lady.
MO does smug and mean very well.
I too noticed the contrast between the smile on Cindy’s face and the scowl on Meeechelle’s during Hillary’s speech. Cindy looked so proud.
Did you see the faces of the women in the crowd? I was smiling just as big and tears ran down my cheeks too. I see Hillary in this woman and part of the emotion I felt during the speech was missing Hillary and wishing it was Hillary I was feeling so proud of. But, Sarah will do for now as long as it keeps BO out of the country’s house.
Michelle Obama is a scowl. She hates America, and she hates Whitey.
I wonder how Michelle Obama contorted her face during Palin’s speech tonight.
By the way, Michelle, Palin was referring to you when she explained how rural Americans are always proud of their country.
Amazing, I am smiling, inside and out. Did you see a lot of the Republican ladies were waving aprons, and some had put their hair up and had glasses. The beautiful family, and sweet sweet baby. And can Gov Palin ever rip someone a new one. Damn Damn Damn, wonderful!
Holy crap your pants Obambi, lol.
Even Wolf (CNN) was forced to admit “she is the new rising star”, I think I even saw Wolf smile for once, lol.
Palin did to Obambi what I presume Hillary would have loved to do (minus the handcuffs)Obambi for some time.
I like how McCain kind of jabbed his finger into the media’s eye in regards to his pick of Palin. I like the woman and won’t feel guilty at all voting McCain/Palin this Nov. and Hillary in 2012.
Absolutely brilliant Palin!
Maybe Hillary wrote parts of the speech??
I bet Hillary will be talking to Sarah if she hasn’t been already!
She kicked ass!! This is one Democrat for McCain/Palin!
Way to go Sarah!! After a week of getting scewered by the press, she hit it out of the park!!
Susan….anyone who thought that the convention was a pep rally…just questioning there sincerity….Conventions are pep-rally’s…
Nice speech. The woman has skills. Very tough. Have you seen the photo of her with the dead caribou, she shoot? Look at that photo and ask yourself if she could face down Putin….Yeah that is what I thought.
I am former democrat and will never be a republican BUT I am voting for the old man and the Barracuda in November.
PUMA.
I too am a former democrat (as of May 31) and will also be voting for “the old man” (altho only 5 years older than me) and the Barracuda. Like you I will never be a republican. I also will probably never again be a democrat as I feel it is going to take several election cycles for the democratic party to show me that it truly does know what democracy is and that it does in fact care about it; frankly not sure I will live long enough to see that take place. In any case I will make history this election as it will be the first time in my life that I have voted for a republican candidate for President of the United States.
McCain/Palin ‘08
Hillary ‘12
Fantastic! What a night! We’ve witnessed history you guys! She made Barky & Imbiben look like spineless dilettantes by comparison.
They are
Imbiben-I love it.
Imbibin – what a hoot!
Barack drove him to drink in larger quantities. The combined effect of alcohol and Kool Aid is not pretty.
It wasn’t mine you guys…I read imbiben on a post somewhere (maybe here). Thanks anyway!
It’s called trashcan punch – LOL! Wicked hangover that Biden will have. :p
Oh my gosh…Sarah Palin was AWESOME!!
yes Biden better watch out on the debates next to the beautiful PITBULL!!
I felt a little bittersweet…This party supports it’s female rock stars…we immolate them. I’ll never be a republican, but F*^k the DNC. They destroyed my beautiful Hillary for a sh#$head fraud.
Sarah Palin was wonderful and strong and triumphant. I am woman hear me roar!
PUMA
Mr. Murder to my knowledge is not a troll.
Among the 3 candidates to speak so far, Palin’s speech was, IMHO, by far the best.
However, there was a problem with the Iraq part of the narrative. The “victory” in Iraq started when the US started arming Sunni tribals in Anbar, who were fed up with AQ in Iraq.
If anyone believes that victory in Iraq is just around the corner, I’ve got a bridge to nowhere in Alaska that I’ll sell you.
Otherwise, very good speech.
On that bridge- Thanks But No Thanks.
Ease off on some of the reformer kool aide. She did in fact want that bridge until she learned the feds weren’t funding it. She did some reforming but not all she is claiming. Don’t over sell it. It only makes it look bad for her when the facts come out.
I cook and I never cook all that I can cook. Give her a break, its a question of character to lead the country out of the troubles brought by Bush’s intention. Barack is a worse ADD than Bush. The lady pays attention. Attention is what politicians lack the most.
Stray and I were talking about Iraq.
Take a remedial course in reading comprehension 101, fer Christ’s sake.
Yeah and Obama overstates just about anything he lays claim too. He even likes to take credit for committees that he doesn’t even participate in. Oh and how about the Jones guy in Chicago who did all the work and then taped Obama’s name on it so he could look more electable? give me a break. She is more honest than he could be on his best day. She has actually done something. Besides he’s running against McCain and he can’t even begin to come close to Mac’s accomplishments. Man,try really looking into what you are trying to sell everyone.
A bridge to nowhere came out of Chicago and we would like to sell him on eBay to our enemies who like him so much.
OHMIGOD.
I just watched a future president give a speech tonight.
I am so fired up, I can’t wait until November.
Absolutely amazing!
OMG…LMAO…I just looked at the name you’re posting with..
I am so happy w Palin…she did a great, great job.
Hi Coach!
I was hoping that Ted will live long enough to see his favorite Obama implode.
I belive that once we die, we gain a very different perspective on our own lives. This is why he deserves to live long enough to see what he has created.
Just imagine Hillary as the Democratic candidate. As good as Sarah is, Hillary would win.
Obama is toast.
I think the most damaging remark was when Sarah pointed out that Obama tells one thing to the face of the people and another behind them.
I don’t think, it registered strongly among the firework, but it planted a disgust against him. Everybody hates it when somebody talks about people behind their back.
Absolutely!
Hillary over Palin anyday! But nevertheless, I like Palin’s slamming of Obama.
Hillary, always!!!
Democrats for McCain/Palin!!
After 5 days of being skewered by the wackjob media, she showed ssh has what it takes!!
Way to go Sarah!!
Call yourself whatever you want, but if you vote for this pro-life, creationist, small government ticket, you’re no Democrat.
Country Before Party.
McCain/Palin 08
Values before vengeance.
Obama/Biden ‘08
Values?
you mean voting to let newborn babies die in hospital closets?
you mean sleazy politics as usual?
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
Well ole faithful, I read that when Palin was mayor she asked the town’s librarian about having certain books removed from the town’s library. That is not going to attrack swing voters.
That’s hollow rhetoric old faithful, unless you really don’t believe that democrats should be patriotic and independent. If the country should go towards socialism and police state status as Obama would have it, then go eff off.
If that’s what the democrats are all about then I am ashamed of my 30 year affiliation.
And a vote for Obama is a vote for Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s “Kill Whitey,” “God DAmn AmeriKKKa” church in inner city Chicago.
If you are voting for Obama then you are no Democrat — that party was destroyed by Obama and taken over by thugs. Socialist, communist, marxist, dictatorship, who knows where that party would be taken under Obama. Obama may create Zimbabwe II.
20 yr Dem PROUDLY voting
MAC/PALIN 08
HILLARY 12
you ‘arbiters’ of who’s the ‘real’ ‘fill in the blank here’ are fighting a battle you already lost
are just as bad as Bush and cronies after 9/11 on patriotism
you ARE what you fought against, you have BECOME the enemy
It’s funny, I made a bet with my friend where the speech would be better received – on RedState, or on this “Democratic” blog.
Just ignore the fact that the woman stands against Hillary on every single issue. She’s got a vag. Vote for her.
What a joke and a disgrace to Hillary Clinton this blog has become. To think I used to enjoy Larry’s commentary.
guess you think party loyalty is more important that standing up to the complete corruption of the party
I’m in the game for more than an election cycle
get a clue…it won’t BE the democratic party once the Precious get’s done with it
get a spine…sometimes you have to let something die so it can be reborn better
THIS democratic party needs to die
It’s not party loyalty. It’s three supreme court justices, friends and family of mine at war in Iraq, it’s education and health care and all the other issues that I’ve worked so hard to try to improve in our country for my entire lifetime.
I’m not willing to give that up out of spite. I’m not willing to vote for a pro-life creationist just because she’s a woman. I’m not willing to stop fighting, and neither is Hillary.
It’s not for the party. I couldn’t give a damn about the Democratic or Republican party. It’s about VALUES. It’s about what’s right for our country, for my children and grandchildren.
Sarah Palin is wrong for America, and deep down you all know it.
really, tell me what Barry’s position THIS WEEK!
you plan on giving an idiot, whose ONLY COMMITTMENT is to his next election cycle the power of POTUS and then hand him a rubber stamp Democratic congress
Wasn’t that Bush’s first term?
inept, overinflated, NOMINATED BY HIS PARTY VIA FRAUD
and a republican congress
Really, who is applying the faulty reasoning here? Don’t you wish moderate Republicans had risen up then and JUST SAID NO!
Huh?
I’m a Democrat
Of course I’m ready to give Barack Obama, who fought for ethics reform, healthcare for children, death penalty reform and gun control in the IL state senate the Presidency. Of course I’m ready to give him a Democratic Majority in congress.
Maybe then we can pass some of his and HILARRY’S agendas. Do I know for sure he’ll get it done? Of course not.
But I know he won’t try to stop evolution from being taught in our schools. At least I know he won’t take away my right to choose. At least I know he’ll make the tax code fair, like it was under our last Democratic President.
No, I don’t wish moderate Republicans had EVER risen.
I’m a Democrat, through and through.
Present 130 times ? he fights for nothing but himself.
McCain/Palin 08
Present 4% of all his votes? 50% of his present votes arranged with PLANNED PARENTHOOD, an organization of which I am proud to be a member?
You fight for nothing at all.
McCain/Palin 08
Obama doesn’t know ethics.
Obama doesn’t know health care.
Obama doesn’t know reform.
Obama doesn’t know guns.
You are willing to give him…
Obama knows give me, give me, give me.
I think you should stop taking Sarah’s positions from CNN and MSNBC. She is not for teaching creationism in schools…but doesn’t want an agenda where all views can’t be debated and discussed. She’s pro life but not against birth control. I don’t think she deserves the box you’re being encouraged to put her in. She’s been on stage for all of 5 days and her positions are being wildly misstated.
Oh FUCK off already!
You have REALLY high hopes for a guy who FAILED FROM THE BEGINNING!
1)He never stood up for Hillary against his campaigns race baiting, or the media’s sexism
2)He VOTED FOR BUSH’S RETRO-FISA!
3)HE VOTED FOR CHENEY’S ENERGY BILL!
4)He’s “open to offshore drilling”
SORRY buddy, but you’re a moron for believing his ridiculous empty hype.
The dem version of GEORGE W. BUSH, and the Bush’s third term!!!
Still better than THE MOST right-wing ticket I’ve ever seen put forward by the Republican party.
I’ll take my chances on Obama not being the best Democrat. Cause I know for sure Palin is a fantastic Republican.
Your logic makes no sense.
Obama’s not a perfect Democrat, so vote for a pro-life creationist and Bush III?
Perfect?
Tell you what moron, if HIllary can be DOGGED and SLANDERED by HER OWN PARTY For her Iraq Resolution vote, and then have the same people cover their eyes when BIDEN is selected as VP after his IR war vote, then I can give my vote to whomever the hell I want.
It won’t be the dirty slimy emptysuited racebaiting asshole from dirty chicago.
I’m full of insults tonight, because I’ve HAD It with people like you.
Embrace the FISA bill, embrace CHeney’s energy plan, embrace Biden’s IR vote.
And while you’re holding on to those heavy burdens, hopefully they’ll drag you to the bottom with all the other corrupt politicians.
l8a
Hilariously and truthfully said.
Does THIS logic make sense?
Let me guess, you won’t even read it, beacuse you’re brainwashed/indoctrinated.
But at least I TRIED to show the blind; THIS is your DEAR LEADER, obamabushbot!

“New York State Senator Bill Perkins used quite explicit racial stereotyping in a speech aimed at discouraging his constituents from voting for Clinton by saying, Harlem “is not Bill Clinton’s backyard or his plantation. Underscore, plantation.”

“If Obama didn’t want to be compared to Jesse Jackson, maybe he shouldn’t have put R&B in his SC advertisements, shouldn’t have sent black-only emissaries to the Black SC community, and should have put Wright, who was doing the rounds, on pause. The message in South Carolina put out by Obama’s campaign, whether the media wanted to ignore it or not, was “Vote for me I am Black.” To then come back and smash Bill Clinton for mentioning Jesse Jackson, that’s audacity; Axelrod made this clear through his surrogates, while he had Obama say that what the Clintons’ said was “unfortunate.”

Sorry old Faithful I will never vote for a person or party who doesn’t stand against the INJUSTICE of sexism. The party must be reborn in the classic Democratic tradition. Four more years.
Hillary 12
mccain palin 08
The psychological hurdle of seeing a woman in power must be overcome.
All I have to do is take a look at the pictures of Chicago, District 13. That tells me exactly what Obama will do for the people.
Yup Obama’s name on other people’s legislation means absolutely nothing.
His district tells the truth about Obama.
His house shows his motivation for running.
Obama is incapable of staying true to anything. He will not serve the Democratic agenda. He wants a line item veto to confuse the heck out of everyone. Add here, subtract there, change this, keep that, create chaos everywhere.
“Obama’s not a perfect Democrat, so vote for a pro-life creationist and Bush III?”
Finally someone who seems to have their head screwed on right.
I used to like this blog but now it seems to be over run by stealth Republicans (or something).
Palin is diametrically opposed to everything Hillary stands for. So how does it make sense for a former Hillary supporter to turn around and support Palin?
The answer is: it doesn’t.
Policies are more important than ovaries.
THEN LEAVE
I can’t just leave the blind to lead the blind, not when I know that just 18 months ago you were fighting along side me to get our troops out of Iraq, to get health care for our children, for a woman’s right for choose.
Or at least you claim you did. I take you at your word that you “were” Democrats, but I continually find it hard to believe that anyone in their right mind can give up everything they care for so deeply just to make a point.
WAAH WAAAAA WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH you guys are a bummer …. who took my joint?
WELL STILL FIGHT FOR THAT!
WHY DO YOU THINK we are still supporting the down ticket!
Obama is a fraud…he’ll destroy all of us and the Democratic party will turn into the facsist liberal party…don’t kid yourself…this is how the neo-cons started…
don’t go there!
What happened to you? We stood side by side for Hillary. How have you accumulated so much hatred for a man who has been a good Democrat his entire life? How have you become so indoctrinated with this neo-con talking points?
The only fascists I see anywhere are the troll police attacking anyone making the case to stand with Hillary on this blog.
Hillary wants and expects Barky to lose.
Um, yea. No. Sorry hun. Hillary’s a Democrat. Hillary wants to pass Universal Health Care. Hillary cares about us.
Hillary speaks for ME. For OBAMA.
Stop insulting her legacy.
Old Faithful, you just don’t get it, do you? It’s just so hard for Hillay supporters to see how the Repbulicians are recieving this woman, and she is a charmer and smart. Hillary was smarter and better prepared to be presidnet than any of the other candidates from either party. Here is the paradox we are faced with and upon which we have made a decision; The choice for president is McCain or Obama. McCain is a moderate Republican with a history as a maverick. John McCaon is seventy two years old and he can’t salute veterans. The Vietnamese broke his shoulders too many times and he can’t raise his arms above his shoulders now. He had his teeth capped when he was realeased because they had been broken by his captors. His history shows he was a hard living man before Vietnam, women and booze. He cuses like a sailor and is prone to anger. But, he has a proven record in the senate. He opposes torture and he has reached across party lines for the good of the country. I don’t agree with him on social issues, but i trust him on foreign policy because he has enough common sense and love of country and he is grounded. Then there is Obama. He has no service card as far as we know he has never signed his card and is not registered for the draft. I still agree with him on social issues, but he keeps changing so I don’t know if I will agree with him tomorrow. I know he is capable of giving great speeches, but so was Oliver Wendell Holmes. He has moved the DNC to Chicago and taken over my party with the help of some friends. I don’t like my party anymore and dont’ feel they particuarlly cared about my vote. So now, I can vote for one man who has proven courage and strenght and help elect a Democratic congress and trust them to protect my rights. Or I can vote for a man I believe to be a liar and untrustworthe to protect my rights in which case my party is lost to me for good. No! I can’t vote for Obama and that is the problem because he represents everything in my party I dispise. Sen. Obama does not have the experience to be president. That’s all flim flam. I dont believe he is a man of good character. I’m going to take a chance on voting for a Republican as a means to force reform in the Democrartic Party. I can’t go along or fall in line. I am a Democrat currently on loan to the Republicans, but my heart will always be with my party and I will gladly go back after the purge that is bound to happen in 2009.
good democrat? how many votes present? how many favors from Rezko while the man continued to operate as a slum lord in his district?
good democrats like Obama this party can do without
How about 130 votes present out of more than 4,000 cast? How about most of those votes ARRANGED with LIBERAL groups such as Planned Paranthood.
How about Sarah Palin trying to get federal funding for her bridge to nowhere. Or being supported by the always-corrupt Ted Stevens?
Stop talking like you’re a Democrat. You gave up that right a long time ago.
good democrats like Obama this country needs now, more than ever.
Will you admit your mistakes in 4 years? Or will you vote for Romney in 2012 just to prove a point.
“good democrats” attend and donate to racist anti-American anti-Semitic churches for 20 years? No thanks bot. You are taking some bad acid dude.
As a Jew who has attended services there, I suggest you visit the TUCC before calling it anti-Semitic.
And “good democrats” have been called anti-American for years. You really should watch it, it gives your cover away, you dumb neo-con.
ENOUGH.
Maybe you’re just not a very good Jew. Oops, is that a smear? I guess we’re learning from uhbama:
Let’s remind everyone that Pfleger backed up Farrakhan in a 2006 controversy over some remarkable Farrakhan bile. Pfleger criticized a mass resignation of Jewish members on a state of Illinois hate crimes commission: http://www.nbc5.com/news/7782149/detail.html?rss=chi&psp=news
Pfleger said “good riddance” to the people who had left the commission. “Leave, go ahead and go on out, we don’t need that kind of a spirit or mentality and a narrowness on that kind of commission. I’m glad they’re gone,” Pfleger said.
What was the issue? A member of the commission, Sister Claudette Marie Muhammad, was the Nation of Islam’s minister of protocol.
[She] “was under the radar until she invited other commissioners to attend a Farrakhan speech last month. Criticism of Muhammad mounted after the speech, which included references to “Hollywood Jews” promoting homosexuality and “other filth.”
The three Jewish commission members who resigned wanted Muhammad to repudiate Farrakhan’s criticism of Jews, gays and other groups. The Jewish Community Relations Council, representing 46 Chicago-area groups, passed a resolution supporting the three commission members.
Here’s the quote from Farrakhan that Pfleger implicitly supported. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/objects/pages/PrintArticleEn.jhtml?itemNo=698094
Farrakhan said, “These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood. It’s the wicked Jews, the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality,” and “Zionists have manipulated Bush and the American government” over the war in Iraq.
good democrat? how many votes present? how many favors from Rezko while the man continued to operate as a slum lord in his district?
good democrats like Obama this party can do without
these are neo-con talking points…they are simply the truth about Obama… the one everyone in the Democratic party was FORBIDDEN by party leadership from speaking
I am my own person and my own personal integrity will NEVER tolerate empowering another CORRUPT, pandering and vacuous pretender (like Bush) from my party!
Thanks for admitting they were neo con talking points.
And who forbade you from bringing them up?
I seem to remember a debate question on Ayers
Weeks of questions about Reverend Wright
And for the final time IT’S NOT YOUR PARTY IF YOU VOTE FOR MCCAIN/PALIN.
you’ve never hear me say I was voting for the Republican ticket…Obama has 20% support in my state…they hate him for the idiot he is
and you’re right, I’M NOT a member of the New Obama Party.. I have the ability to apply reason and discernment. To engage in long-term thinking about consequences of bad choices. I’m not a drone.
and clearly…you are. When your frontal lobes begin to develop, you might actually understand what I tried to tell you.
get off the kool-aid…it’s going to disappoint you. And I don’t vote for corrupt, pandering jackasses for candidates.
Tell me, with your skills of discernment did you vote for GWB once or twice?
Sorry, but I’m not gonna let a neo-con attack my hours of work for Clinton twice, Gore and Kerry.
I don’t vote for corrupt, pandering jackasses for candidates.
I vote for DEMOCRATS.
Yea..like a blind man groping his way through a corn field.
Straight party voters are the reason it’s us vs. them, and America is fucked up.
CONGRATULATIONS!
HIllaryDem 4 McCain/Palin
Put your big boy/girl pants on
Barack has a disdain for politics and politicians. Read about it or listen to some of his talks. He disdains the American political system. He wants things the way he wants them when he wants them. He only accepted three debates because he is running on charisma. All he has left now is charisma. And you are taken by his charisma.
What makes you think Obummer will do any of the things you say you want? He voted present 130 times during his time in the Illinois Senate. He has done nothing but run for president during his time in the United States Senate. So why do you believe he will do anything as president?
He voted 130 present because he disdains the political process. He disdains all of his colleagues in the Senate. He disdained Hillary. He disdains Biden and now Biden knows it.
Maybe you have not been listening to the news. The troops are leaving Iraq. Anbar Province was just turned over to Iraqi security forces.
Women are not losing the right to choose, and will not loose it under McCain. Maybe you missed the GOP platform, because it does not include overturning Roe v Wade. Maybe you missed all the Pro Choice GOP speakers like Guliani at the convention.
If you think Obambi the backflipper will bring changes to healthcare you need to cut back on the Kool Aid. Obambi will only do the things that enrich Obambi.
Maybe you should do something about that gambling problem.
I’d never vote GOP but this time I am because the Democrats found a man who has nothing but a grab bag of American hating scum as friends and benefactors.
Guys who make David Duke look good.
And a legislative accomplishment of a sloth.
All the more reason to stop Obama.
Is that the new Obamantion talking point-”She’s got a vag vote for her”. Perhaps you’re new and so don’t know that it’s about the cheating of Obama in the Caucuses, the sham of an of a convention, the overt and more subtle sexism and misogyny, and that most of us don’t believe a thing he says and that we think he’s a fraud and a producut of the Chicago machime. For me , the fact that Palin is a woman is an added incentive.
Bottom line: “If the Democratic Party doesn’t stand up for Democratic principles who will?” and if we don’t stand up for accounatbility who will? Certainly NOT Obamanation.
Just your one teeeny tiny sentence is the best example of why I am voting for republican for the first time in my life……”She’s got a vag”….That you would say that so matter-of-factly, without a CLUE about the insult you have just SPEWED of your Frigging stupid obamalovinkoolaiddrinking mouth shows how low this ex-party of mine,, the UNdemocratic party has sunk. The Democrats were supposed to stand up for people, everyone….I thought, naive that I was now I see, that it meant that it included me, a woman. Obama will lose, and Obamasoretoro SHOULD lose.
McCain/PALIN 08
Oh please get off your high horse. I’ve got a vag too you dumb broad.
You’re not voting based on the issues we fought for this election. you’re throwing it all away because you’ve been brainwashed by the neo-con-fake Hillary supporters that invaded this place around March.
Unless you’re actually one of them….
Quit acting like you are actually a Hillary supporter. Calling us fake Hillary supporters gives your bot ass away.
Give me a frikin break.
If you want to call me a ‘bot, I’m proud to stand with the other proud Hillary supporters who you people have called Bots like Taylor Marsh.
We’re supporting Hillary’s agenda. We’re trying to put a President in power who will allow her to accomplish her goals in the Senate.
What are you doing? Supporting her enemies. THe people who attacked her for the past 16 years. The man who told a horribly insulting joke about her and her daughter. The party that tried to destroy the Clinton family.
Quit acting like you’re a real Hillary supporter. Calling us bots give your neo-can ass away.
Nice try bot.
Hillary forgave that joke if it’s good enough for Hillary to forgive it’s Ok for me too…
Obama and the DNC are Hillary’s enemies.
McCain respects her.
Do you go to sites that support Obummer and call peeps out for supporting him bases on Melanin content or do you think thats a wonderful thing
yeah I thought so
you like that empty cold hearted shill at TM are a total hypocrite
:0)
enjoy the massive landslide loss in November!!
BOOYAH and W00T!!!!!
No, No, No – Feminists, and the men who love us, don’t call each other Dumb Broads.
On the internet no one knows you’re a dog.
McCain and the Republicans have shown Hillary much more respect than Obama and the Democrats ever did.
Racists, finger, brush off, disrespect from micHELLe, disrespect from the Democratic process, disrespect from fellow Democratic pols, disrespect from Obama’s church (Wright, Phelger, congregation), etc.
throwing the gender card at us with a tag like Old Faithful
BWAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAHAAA
sorry to inform you butthead, that we are voting for the best qualified people for POTUS and VPOTUS. Neither Obama nor Biden have shown at all what they will do for america. They only show what they will do for themselves.
And taking down HRC with the most vile, sexist, racist tactics started barky’s downfall. And their reaction to Palin is juvenile, not worthy of being labled “adult”.
I don’t vote for ovaries or vaginas, fool. I’m looking for the person who wants to serve America, not themselves.
If I voted on “balls”, I’d vote for Palin in a second. she’s got more balls than barky, biden, and mechelle combined.
they will wither in the sun and slither away from the rock they crawled out from.
NO FOREIGN NATIONALS FOR POTUS!
Chris Wallace to Wolfson..
We hired you to criticize!!
Wolfson loves Palin!!
Wow. Palin rocked! I love her. I no longer have any hesitation about voting Republican.
What a night! Loved the line: What’s the difference between a Hockey Mom and a pitbull?
Lipstick!!!!!
No pushover, no take my teddy and go home or you’ve hurt my feelings with all the smutty rumors. This is going to be a fight to the bitter end.
Good for her!! She knocked it out of the park.
McCain/Palin’08
I had lost hope for this election, but now I have it back. That is hope and change you can believe in, that is the reall thing. Gov. Palin was great, she is just the best
How did she do?
If this were the WWE, that speech would be the equivalent of taking Obama and Biden and throwing them clear over the ropes.
Palin hit a home run with the bases loaded! She stuck the knife in THE ONE, twisted it and smiled. Then looked over at the media and nodded that they might be next.
Pit ball with lipstick!!!!!
I’m having trouble hearing the blog show, but I thought that she exhibited a great deal of grace under pressure, and she got in a lot of really good points. I liked that being the Mayor has “actual responsibilities”. I also like that she pointed out th that Barack sau says one thing in Scranton and another in San Francisco-a lot of good appeals to aveage Americans in small towns. Something I like about Palin is that she seems to enjoy speaking and has a delightful smile-especially when she’s getting a zinger in. Another great line-the Presidency is “not a journey of personal discovery”. What she said about John McCain is what I feel about both of them-that are upright an honorable people who really want to serve the country. I think she has grit. I thnk this comment came from a person on tho this blog and I thank them for that because it’s a great line-”Palin-the audacity of authenticity”
Also, I thought Hucakabee and Guliani were good and I really liked the Governor of Hawaii.
Rudy was wonderful.
Sarah was superb.
The Dem. first response that it was a GWB speech was beyond lame.
After the crap Palin had to hear from Obambi’s surrogates for the last few days I can say Obambi 110% deserved the azz kicking he got from Palin tonight.
Palin called Obambi out big time, too funny. Go ahead Obambi, I dare ya, I triple dare ya, open your mouth again with LIES about Palin and she will knock you back again, lol.
This is one of the few times I have seen a Presidential candidate ( Obambi ) get rightfully trounced by the opposing VP candidate , and have the Presidential candidate ( Obambi )truly look immensely diminished, lol. I love it. KARMA
The bounce on that speech should be sweet.
Agree, I also believe she diminished Obama, and not just with her fun barbs about his “great seal’ and his “Greek columns,” (pretty damn good) but also with her direct hits on his lack of substance and his non-record. I’ve read she stopped mentioning HIllary Clinton (she was mentioning Gerry Ferraro and Hillary in her speeches) because the partisan crowds were booing the mention of Hillary’s name. Still, she has shown that she owes much to HIllary’s run for the nomination. Sarah’s attacks on Obama this evening echoed Hillary’s disdain over Obama only “bringing a speech” to the party and also when she (Hillary) mocked Obama with her “the sky will open” etc. Like Hillary, Palin is the real deal as her record in Alaska indicates. They may be worlds apart on certain issues, but they care about the people. And while my fellow Democrats might bemoan Palin’s pro-life stance, on the ordinary issues that affect people every day, she sounds more like Teddy Roosevelt. She was spectacular and came across as a woman of the people. Keep it going, Sarah! As for my former mayor, Rudy G., he has not always been on my list of people I like, but tonight, he was gleefully superb. I don’t know who will speak before McCain tomorrow night, but I almost wish Rudy G. had the pre-McCain slot as his remarks made a perfect intro to McCain. But, he was terrific and I never thought I’d say that again about Rudy. And, in some strange way, I felt that the festering wounds of Vietnam were given some healing tonight. Back in the late 60s and ealry 70s, I was, like many of my fellow students, in the streets from time to time, protesting a seemingly unending war that was (unlike Iraq) shown to us in-depth every night on the news. In those days, families screamed at each other across the dinner table. As I grew older, and rented my first apartment, one of my neighbors was a man several years older than I who was a veteran of that war and was a lost soul. He was a talented artist who was drinking himself to death and ended up losing his job and his apartment as he could no longer pay his bills. What happened to him? I don’t know. I’ll be 57 in two months and he might be in his early 60s if he’s still alive. I felt that celebrating those people as they were celebrated tonight made up a bit for some of the mistreatment they received when they came home so many years ago. Maybe I’m a sentimental fool but I felt a bit healed myself. I hope my ex-neighbor was watching somewhere and that he’s ok. I think with McCain and Palin we could be ok in these years ahead. I feel more hopeful. It was an historic night — but it could not have happened without Hillary Clinton. It might not be this year, but Hillary will be called on again to do great things for this country because she cares deeply about this country. Until Hillary Rises, Nobama, not ever!
Yes, thank you for that most eloquent comment.
I feel much sadness for our great Hillary… we’ll wait out these four years.
But for now, we must bring down Obama and the nutroots.
Hillary, always!!!
Halfway into Palin’s speech, I phoned my mother, a die hard Republican, and I said, *I wish she was a Democrat…she is amazing.* My mom laughed gleefully and said, *Well, you can’t have her…she’s ours.*
The Republicans are fired up over this ticket. I can’t say that I blame them.
At this point, Obama just looks like a weakling. I loved it when Palin said, and I’m paraphrasing, that contrary to what the media would like, she is not going to Washington to be in their *good favor.* She is going to Washington to serve the people of the United States of America.
Zing.
Clinton 2012.
Yes, great line. Barracuda Sarah. :^)
[...] Johnson’s live radio show is still going, and the conversation is [...]
I thought it was frightening and horrible.
This super-Talibangelical person seems totally off her rocker, firing a town librarian because the librarian refused to ban books the mayor (Sarah Paline)
ordered her to.
huh? with a moniker like that?
sorry you are so afraid of a woman.
Someone should start a new pool, like when Obama is going to drop out or dump Biden and put Hillary on the ticket…
-=chuckle=-
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
Hillary is too good to be just a VP>.She should have been the nominee.What goes around comes around..
I loved Hillary,and wish she was running.
But now there is only one choice in this election.
And his name is not Obama
Go sarah and Mccain. 2008
Her body language, her poise, the way she interacted with her family with her eyes—her youngest daughter who is definitely a character—her husband who is really a looker, her parents, the way Cindy McCain interacted with the family gently holding that baby, the way that whole family surrounds that baby with love and affection—wow, wow, wow. Makes the guys from the Ivy Leagues seem pretty prissy and thin. I LOVED THE PRAISE THAT HOWARD WOLFSON HEAPED ON HER. I really appreciated Karl Rove noting that although her speech was written for her—as all speeches for political candidates are—you can not get that kind of performance unless the speaker helps you to frame it, put touches to it and then deliver it. She is a natural talent and she is going to go far. I just want her to defeat OB. Also noted that McCain Palin posters show names of candidate in the same font and type size. Obie could not resist upstaging Biden on his signs—little messages tell you a lot.
I guess they won’t be serving lattes and arugula salads in the McCain/Palin Whitehouse.
Obama is NOT ready or qualified, don’t even know how we could even consider electing such an unqualified candidate to lead this country. I think we have lost the love for this nation. Guess we will elect P Diddy next he got as much experince as Obama.
P Diddy dum de dum shouting Alaska to boot!
They are saying she did a beautiful job, and she barbed BO with confidence!!! She made an excellent barb about BO’s grandiose styrofoam Greek pillars LOL!!!
Can’t believe I’m voting Republican, but better than BO the hate-monger who can’t stand America!
i am sorry it wasn’t hillary giving a fight fight fight speech!
Hey, anyone notice the Republicans are doing a fair and complete roll call, where the hell is Nancy Pelosi?
A community organizer is kinda like being a governor. Except that governors have to make decisions.
haha! love your screen name!
I know a lot of Democrats are stunned that other Democrats are considering voting for McCain-Palin. This is what they are not grasping:
Millions of voters are trying to save the Democratic Party. I know you don’t understand that, but that is because you do not truly understand what the Party is – or used to be – about. We are willing to risk four years – WHATEVER THEY MAY BRING – in order to do that.
The DNC made a mockery of Democracy during the Primary. Senator Clinton was the far more qualified candidate and they did nothing to stop the vilification of her. But they didn’t stop there…they also refused to count votes.
And as a little side note, when Obama flipped Senator Clinton off in public, that was the same as flipping off every woman, daughter, aunt, sister, and grandmother in the country…no matter their Party affiliation.
For now, issues are on the back burner. We are talking about changing the very fabric of our country by seeing a QUALIFED female in the White House…and we’ll take a VP as a start.
That’s what you need to understand, DNC, Obama followers, Donna, Nancy.
Obama was never qualified to be the Democratic Candidate for President and not having him in the White House will be a loss to NO ONE.
And don’t mind me if I FUCKING BLAME YOU FOR MY FUCKING SON’S DEATH CAUSE YOU DECIDED TO SAVE THE PARTY AND KILL OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ.
You’re not qualified to be a fucking American.
Obama has voted to fund the war every time it has come up for a vote… fact.
And BTW, threats no longer work, either.
It’s over.
Don’t blame me. Blame Biden.
I pray your sons safe return. For all our sons and daughters safe return.
You should have supported Hillary, she would have beat McCain…probably easily and she would have got us out of Iraq which, BTW Obama would not, even if he were to win — which he clearly won’t.
McCain is going to win…accept it.
I have a stepson there. His second tour.
We NEEDED the surge that Obama voted against.
Don’t you get that?
I have to respect McCain for saying over three years ago that Rumsfeld dropped the ball and McCain demanded: MORE TROOPS.
Troops death numbers dropped after the surge.
Wake up! Obama has no idea what he’s doing.
He’s “against the war?” Fine. But now we’re there — we need to protect our servicemen and women.
Not play politics to appease the far left.
Mark my words — if Obama is elected, he’ll spin his wheels for 4 years and no one is leaving Iraq. He’ll use Iraq as a re-election issue.
Old Faithful,
Please go get help — you are over the top. Go see a therapist, a shrink — someone.
YOU NEED HELP — NOW.
If you are putting so much faith in Soetoro/Obama — you will be disappointed. Very disappointed — he is NOT who or what you think he is.
Old Faithful – if you’re really talking about your OWN son, what a TERRIBLE adjective to use in describing him – you should be ashamed! God Bless your son, though.
Your son’s death is truly a tragedy, no one can speak to that.
Be sure, however, that it was Bush/Cheney, with complicity of a democratic congress (biden, dodd, kerry, kennedy, rockefeller, reid…)they all voted for the war and obama continued to fund it when he got there and chose a senator who also voted for the war as his VP. Remember that rumsfeld (who McCain criticised) thought he could do the war on the cheap with too few troops and insufficient equipment. McCain called for the surge I am sure to help protect our troops, in addition to the other reasons–remember Powell’s rule–you break it, you own it.
Obama is about to give America up, a unilateral surrender if you will, to our foes. I cannot for the sake of my country vote for obama-the manchurian candidate.
Bravo!!!
My wife was so offended by that, that was the end for her.
My wife was so offended by it and that was the end of him.
Amazing. Palin gets the nod just a week ago. Her son is going to Iraq. She has a new baby with special needs. Her daughter is pregant and the mass media try to crucify her and her family with filthy sexist smears. With all this pressure, she knows McCain’s candidacy depends on her performance, giving a speech to millions of people and in a hall with thousands of people. Can anyone begin to imagine the pressure that was on her shoulders??
And her speech was…PERFECT.
There is a word for this woman – STRONG. Pause to consider just how strong she is.
Thanks for showing me that.
hey watch your language… you need to leave and calm down.
The Democraps and their MSM surrogates are saying that if Palin has so much exec experience, she should be running for POTUS instead of McCain.
I agree, both Palin and McCain are extremely qualified for POTUS. I am way more comfortable with Palin a heartbeat away, than Obambi a stutter away from a Presidential decision.
The Democratic idiots just sound more and more stupid. Suddenly, she’s supposed to run for President? What kind of snide remark is that.
I still do not comprehend how any sane person can buy the crap that Obama is “more experienced” than Palin. Used to be Senators were not Presidential timber…govs. had the executive experience. Apparently, if you’re a woman gov, it’s no longer good enough….
What a joke! I hope the general public has more common sense….they already know the media is crap, so maybe they won’t buy this crap.
The Maverick & The Barracuda ‘08!
Captain America and Wonder Woman ‘08
lol
Hahaha! The “Messiah” ad is HILARIOUS!!! “may suffer from an angry rash” rotflmao
Johnny & Sarah
Change to believe in!
She needs to rip Obama for his self-perception as a SAVIOR. He has repeatedly said, “My individual salvation is not going to come about without a collective salvation for the country”…….he is on some freakshow Obama-as-deity trip and WE are pawns to his sick manifestation of some drug-induced idea of his destiny. “COLLECTIVE”=COMMUNISM
Yes this woman can stay on task and focus. She did an excellent job. My family is very impressed. We totally identify with her and feel she would be a great addition to the Executive Branch.
Also enjoyed listening to No Quarter radio tonight. Thanks!
I thought she did a good job. First time on a large stage, media scrutiny, millions watching (I want to know how many)… well received by CNN and Fox. MSNBC some very postive statements but they managed to pull themselves back from the edge (Maddow especially) not good.. surprise, they don’t like her.. sniff, sniff…. Axelrod calls her ’snide’ (isn’t that another name for b!tch?)
She passed the ‘media storm’ test and her first speech test… now she just needs to be able to hold her own against Biden.
Someone mentioned something in an above comment I also noticed. For the first time tonight I started to fall for Cindy McCain. The way she was so tender with the Palin baby…and the way she looked with such admiration and approval at Sarah (as opposed to Michelle’s scowl at Hillary…and just plain scowl ALL the time). Really felt something tonight I haven’t felt in a long time. Hope and change. If you would have told me 9 months ago I would become enamoured with the Republican ticket and loathed the Democratic ticket, I would have said you needed to be institutionalized.
Someone here wrote that Michelle lacked discipline with that display.
Which I thought was a perfect word. Here Hillary and Bill were making the case for her husband and she couldn’t muster the maturity to give them respect.
She wants the job as First Lady and I could think of is her treating a leader or his wife poorly because of some trival reason or perceived slight.
The thing is….Michelle probably still doesn’t get it even watching the example Cindy set this evening.
Cindy practically jumped out of her seat applauding Palin. She was warm and relaxed, a lot different than when she’s standing stiffly on stage….
Exactly Ray! Cindy McCain did indeed start growing on me… Humility buys alot in my opinion!
I’ve long since made my mind up that I was sitting this election out if the Dems stuck me with the abhorrent Obama as their nominee; but like Margaret Thatcher before her, while I do not support her politics, I do admire Gov. Palin a great deal.
She rocked it and I’m proud of her.
Cnn Larry King Live,,,was all negative tonite to Palin..They are running scared…I’m losing all respect I had for Larry KIng,,,I thought of him to be a more fair person..Obviously I was wrong….
Listen to Fox for Fair and balanced..
Go Sarah..and Mccain..
Did any of you pick up on it when Sarah said something to the effect of “I’ve ALWAYS been proud of my country?” My husband thought I was looney when I yipped about that. It was a direct shot at Meeechelle’s “for the first time in my life, I’m proud of my country.” After I explained my reaction, he understood why I was so happy.
I called it the Sarah Palin “bomb” a few days ago when McCain was set to announce her as his VP…
And it was dropped…and another one was dropped tonight!!!
I’m a little late to the party, but I just watched Palin’s speech on none other than Huffpost. The speech was a knockout and I can tell it really stung because I also read the Obamabot comments after the speech and they are livid. How dare she insult their Messiah! Most of the hateful comments were about the way Palin talked or looked and other such sexist remarks. They are shaking in their boots! LOL! I was reluctant to vote for McCain, although I knew I would never vote Obama. She may have brought me into his camp. I wish she were on the top of the ticket.
God Almighty is winess to Himself! There is a GOD in Heaven. Who could have possibly imagined that there was a Sarah Palin out there, to ANSWER the pain, the KNIFE IN THE GUT, that the Democrat party delivered to Women in this country?
HE imagined! He had the ANSWER to their prayers BEFORE they EVEN SOUGHT them!
If America really is a shinning city on a hill…If America really is the HOPE of the world…this side of Heaven…Then God really does like her. Because He delivered this lady at just the right place in history.
Barrack Obama says the same things about himself. His koolaid drinkers say the same things about him. But the critical difference lies in the candidates themselves. To Sarah, it’s the people who are entitled. To BO it’s he who is entitled.
That’s HOW I tell the difference between a true “God-send” and a fake.
Now just watch the Big name Hillary supporters switching parties,and Liebermans friends coming over.They listened and saw..
She was fantastic,and loved how she Blue Obama to the background,with her remarks of small town folks clinging to guns and religion.
Did you see Sarah’s little daughter holding onto her little brother and wetting her tiny fingers with her spit,to straighten the babies hair..That was priceless,and should be played over and over,
that was beautiful…
what great kids!
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
That was the cutest, most realistic, most everyday thing I’ve EVER seen on t.v. That little girl ‘taking care of her baby brother’ by licking her little hand and smoothing out his hair. How precious, how innocent, how caring. That whole family looked at that baby with loving, adoring eyes and smiles. And, ‘Mother’s little helper’ has NO idea how many people in the world are thinking such sweet and loving thoughts about her! She was like a mother cat licking her kittens clean; very natural and very basic – how very tender and touching.
SARAH AND HER FAMILY ARE NOT TRYING TO REINVENT THEMSELVES.THIS IS A BATTLE BETWEEN AUTHENTICITY AND FAKE, ESPECIALLY WITH OBAMA CLAIMING TO BE WHO AND WHAT HE IS NOT
Larry, great radio show. Thanks!
Checkmate, Democrats. The Republicans seem to have captured your queen…
Obamots will please report immediately to their nearest Deprogramming Stations:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu4IFSGIUFU
The whole election is a sham. Obama won by conniving. Palin is an extreme rightist, not a feminist. We were supposed to be pushed into Obama’s camp by force, now we’re supposed to be overwhelmed that the Republicans are nicer to women and revenge vote.
Yawn.
Dog and pony show. ALL a sham.
But I’ve decided I will vote AGAINST Palin to protect choice and women’s rights.

I guess we know ahy she is called the “Baraccuda”!!!! WOW!!! Obama has met his match indeed! I like this woman more and MORE. The dnc and obama campaign asked for every single hit they got last night! NO QUARTER given – NONE taken!!!!
