Governor Sarah Palin
By NewHampster on November 3, 2008 at 7:00 AM in Sarah Palin
Partizane writer Sharyn has written a well-researched piece on Governor Palin and graciously allowed me to cross post it here. Thank you for the work Sharyn that our Fourth Estate should have been doing.
When John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate, I was interested in learning about her and her accomplishments. I’ve had a long wait. The main stream press not only failed to provide the salient points of her executive career, it instantly began creating its own Sarah Palin with a portrait not exactly flattering. So, I had to do my own research. Even the media couldn’t suppress the fact that she has polled as the most popular governor of all 50 states. Another testament to her broad support: when she served as mayor, she was elected by her fellow Alaskan mayors throughout the state as president of the Alaskan Conference of Mayors. I wanted to find out the reasons behind her popularity, and here’s a small summary of some of her accomplishments as Governor that most impressed me.
(ed. consider the remainder a quote but I’d rather not format it that way.)
1. Natural Gas Pipeline: Before becoming governor, the plans for a natural gas pipeline were in the works. Governor Palin’s predecessor, however, was cozy with big energy corporations and was pushing pipeline legislation which signed off on a plan he had already worked out with oil companies, which would have relinquished the state’s sovereignty vis a vis the pipeline as part of the package deal. When Palin came into office, she wanted to limit big oil’s influence over the state’s affairs, and when she took over the project (from the executive end), she absolutely insisted there would be no deal with any company unless the state retained its sovereignty.
The Bush Administration got wind of this and not surprisingly tried to intervene on behalf of Big Oil. Cheney himself even put in a couple calls to Palin asking her to kill it. “Cheney’s staff pressed the Palin administration to draw in the energy companies, said current and former state officials involved in those discussions.” “Palin had been warned twice by Vice President Dick Cheney, to bring in the oil producers to the pipeline project.” (AP; Alaska Daily News) Sarah Palin, however, stood up to Big Oil and the good ole boys and the state of Alaska has now finalized a plan with TransCanada which, as a result of the governor’s firmness, includes the sovereignty provision. After Alaska’s Senate vote in favor of providing the AGIA license to TransCanada, Gov. Palin praised the Legislature: “Our lawmakers have protected Alaska’s sovereignty. They’ve really taken it back.”
2. Big Oil Companies’ Tax: Gov. Palin stood up to the big energy companies again when she worked with Alaska’s lawmakers to increase the state’s share of its oil wealth through new legislation that revamped the Alaska’s state oil tax to include a progressive net-profits tax. Through this legislation known as ACES,”Alaska’s Clean and Equitable Share” Plan, the state has achieved a budget surplus in the billions. The state’s increased revenues have been put to good use by Gov. Palin.
For example, under her governance, funding for special needs in education has tripled in per-pupil funding for over the course of the next three years. Palin also has implemented the Senior Benefits Program, which provides financial support for low-income older Alaskans, reduced the state’s pension liability, established a revenue-sharing fund for local governments, helped homeowners directly with weatherization and home-heating costs, and has suspended the state’s gasoline tax (at the pump) for one year. Alaskans will also be receiving a $1200 tax rebate. And the state’s projected budget appears to be headed to a significant surplus into the foreseeable future.
(For a detailed outline of Palin’s energy-related goals and accomplishments, click this link from Alaska Daily News: http://www.adn.com/opinion/view/story/553653.html )
3. Ethics Reform: One of Sarah Palin’s greatest initiatives upon becoming Governor was to immediately begin an overhaul of the state’s ethics laws.
This was a big concern for the governor before taking office. She actually had resigned her membership (pre-Governor years) on Alaska’s Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, where she served as Chair, when a fellow member (who happened also to be head of the state’s Republican Party), refused to stop conducting Party business on the commission’s time. He was actually working closely with the companies he was supposed to be regulating. She brought it up in private initially, and asked him several times to stop his unethical practice. He ignored her request, and she resigned in protest, and forthwith filed a formal complaint. He himself eventually was forced to resign and pay a fine for ethics violations.
After she was elected governor, she right away enlisted a Democrat and a Republican to work together to write up a position paper for the state on government ethics. This resulted in legislation, enthusiastically signed into law by the Governor, which included: tougher conflict of interest laws, greater restrictions on lobbyist gifts, a banning of lobbying activities by the spouses of legislators, and a ban on lobbying activities of recently resigned state officials.
4. Alternative Energy: As Governor, Sarah Palin knows she is working for all the citizens of her state, including Democrats. Alaska’s Democratic legislators had been working hard to create a state-level Climate Control Cabinet. Soon after taking office, Gov. Palin threw her support behind this effort and made the CCC a reality, one of the first states to do so. Also in the environmental vein, she earlier had served as chair of the Alaskan Conservation Commissions, and is currently chair of the National Governors Association’s Natural Resources Committee. In January of this past year, she announced the appointment of an Energy Coordinator to activate a statewide energy plan, which would include earnings from a Renewable Energy Fund for implementing alternative projects, including hydro, wind, geothermal and biomass. This proposal has been approved by Alaska’s legislators.
5. Across the Aisle: Although herself a conservative Republican, Gov. Palin has been known for reaching across the aisle to work for her state to achieve the best for its people, all the people. In this capacity, Gov. Palin made sure gay workers’ rights were protected in her administration. Indeed, Gov. Palin’s first veto was used to quash a bill that would have barred the state from granting benefits to the partners of gay state employees. Working with Alaska’s Democrats, Governor Palin also established the Alaska Health Care Strategies Planning Council within the first two months of taking office, and later that spring created a State Council for Alaska’s Homeless.
Here’s a quote from Alaska’s own Democratic Leader, Beth Kerttula, on Gov. Palin:
“On the issues I worked with her, she listened, and in the long run, she even overrode her own party on things House Democrats thought were important.”
Getting back to my initial reason for writing this up, does all this sound like the supposedly clueless Sarah Palin you’ve been hearing about in the mainstream media? Maybe there are sound reasons that Governor Palin is so popular with her state’s citizens, including many Democrats and Independents.
short post script: Governor Palin’s personal gubernatorial expenses have been reduced, by her own modifications, 80% below her predecessor’s.

New Obama Shock Audio
Another jaw-dropping clip from the SF Chronicle/Gate “coal” interview:
http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?v=e46U2Gnzpr
Bankrupting Coal is only part of his evil plan.
Obama’s advocating “skyrocketing” electrical rates is another that affects everyone: every household, every business.
And it spells economic disaster for the US economy as this plan would be unilateral. Other countries would not be affected and will be much more competitive vs. the cost of US-produced goods with sky-high energy costs, artificially inflated by the extreme anti-global warming Obama Cap, Trade, & Redistribute plan.
Please listen and spread this around.
http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?v=e46U2Gnzpr
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CViBpm3Ckd0
Oh, and guess why he wants to increase rates?
To force us to “change” our wasteful habits and learn to conserve more.
Hopey-changey.
And thank you, New Hampster, for posting it here.
Talk about regulation. We should make news stations report only on substance during the news and let them do their hyperventilating “horse-race” crap in a separate time slot.
Then they could get the ratings they care only about, and still inform the populace.
Rep. Nadler D-NY Criticizes Obama’s ‘Courage’
November 02, 2008 11:10 PM
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-NY, was down in Florida over the weekend, and one supposes that he thought he was helping Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., but it will ultimately be hard to make that case.
Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugged has posted some video of Nadler at a synagogue in Boca Raton trying to explain why Obama was able to stay in Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years.
He starts off my saying he has no idea of what he’s talking about. And then he proceeds to open mouth, insert foot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rB1G0D3r7k
Yea, that makes me feel really safe with BO as CIC.
Nader is running against Obama as an independent, don’t expect him to say anything complimentary to Obama. Expect to hear strong criticism of Obama from something closer to real liberal stances. This is very similar to what the real liberals who voted for Hillary have been saying. Obama is no socialist, he’s an opportunist, just spouting the lines that will get him into office. The only thing we know for sure about him is that he nothing but contempt for- women, poor and lower middle class people- including African Americans that happen to be of those classes, senior citizens,GLBT people, etc…
McKinney (Green party and who this PUMA is voting for) has been criticizing Obama’s poor voting record. Obama is in no way the “most liberal” senator, the National Review says that about whoever the Democrats nominate, their list is meaningless. I suggest looking up the very comprehensive chart on Progressive Punch instead.
http://www.progressivepunch.org/members.jsp?search=selectScore&chamber=Senate&scoreSort=lifetime
Across the line Hillary is more liberal than Obama. Obama’s voting record shows that the only side he votes for is that of the big corporations that line his pockets with cash and Biden is the same way.
The only person Obama loves is himself.
Nadler, not Nader.
The very best reason to go back to the old notion of public servants who donate their time for a few months a year rather than have it a career tenure track position.
A couple of points Nadler missed; when did Mrs. Obama, who to my knowledge has never repudiated the Wright doctrine, become a member of that church and is she still a member who could keep Soertoro/Obama’s connection with Wright’s church viable? (She claims that when Soerto/Obama went to Washington, D.C. that she remained in Chicago in order to keep their children’s lives stable; and that included attending Church every Sunday.)
And why would a group of Jews, almost all of whom still have close associations with the WWII holocaust, want to give some guy who has no political courage the task of protecting them and their children?
That was a good “guess” by Nadler, since that is what happened…Obama was laughed out of the community and was told to choose a church, so he did. Very carefully.
And Oprah walked out of that same church.
LA Times Protest 11-3-08
Contact: Joe
Email only: Joe@freedommarch.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2 P.M. PDT, November 01, 2008
“Conga the LA Times” Monday, November 3, 2008 9 AM – NOON
FreedomMarch.org is continuing the LA Times protest to inspire the newspaper to finally release its Khalidi-Obama video. Senator Obama was allegedly taped toasting former PLO spokesperson, Rashid Khalidi. Please join us for an hour, or all three, to demand that the LA Times fully disclose all information regarding presidential candidate Barack Obama.
“Conga the LA Times” Monday, Nov 3, 2008 9 AM – NOON. Bring your own flags, cameras, and signs. Travel via Metrolink is recommended.
LA Times HQ
202 West 1st St.
Los Angeles, CA 90012
The Los Angeles Times withheld vital character information regarding former Senator and presidential candidate, John Edwards. It’s doing the same thing again with Barack Obama.
Join us to demand that the LA Times release the Khalidi-Obama video.
OH yes, Khalidi; that’s the guy that McCain gave almost half million dollars to. Yeah, that guy.
Now, now, you don’t want to open the donor-can-of-worms, do you? All those Soertoro/Obama foreign donors, all those Kenyans who think he was born in their country, all those little contributions from illegal aliens. Start investigating all this on November 3 and we won’t get this election started until at least Nov. 2009! And all those relatives and associates with a locked time release of November 5, 2008 will be spouting like fountains!
Go to http://www.DebbieSchlussel.com
Turns out a children’s dance troupe (Sanabel AlQuds Dabka troupe) performed at the event; this dance troupe does a very interesting simulation:
a mock beheading of children draped in US, UK, and Israeli flags!
In the simulation, the children swing fake swords and the flags fall to the floor and the dancers stomp on them.
Debbie Schlussel does not know if the troupe did the simulation during the event but she infiltrated the group at a later date and saw the act at subsequent performances.
Can you believe a newspaper covering up for this!!!
I greatly admire Sarah Palin. I hate what the media has done to a great Governor and an even greater American.
I hope that she doesn’t just go back to Alaska tomorrow after the election, and I hope she will still have a chance to run for higher office in 2012.
She’s already been vetted at least.
Uh. Methinks Sarah Palin will be going to DC and the VP Residence at the Naval Observatory.
I agree.
I attended a McCain rally yesterday, sans Palin.
The crowd was energized, enthusiastic, and diverse. (Yup, soo-prise, s00-prise y’all!) There were People of Color, young folks, typical Republican types, Hillary supporters, Mennonites, military, in short: a diverse assembly of motivated voters who were there out of great LOVE for their candidate and support for him. The crowd was rowdy.
When McCain finally came out on stage, after opening remarks by Sen. Lieberman and Tom Ridge, it was pandemonium. It looked as if McCain himself was surprised by the welcome. But he was obviously also inspired, for he said words to this effect:
“I’ve been in a lot of elections, and I can tell when momentum has changed…we’re going to WIN this one, I can sense it, I can feel it…” and the crowd erupted again.
If Palin was there they would have had to change the venue to accomodate the throng. McCain in person is energetic and compelling. In no way do you get that the man on stage is 70+ years old. He has the spirit and aura of a man in his mid 40s – 50s. And Cindy looks more beautiful in person than on TV. She really is a strikingly gorgeous woman. When she went up to the podium to introduce her husband, whe was greeted with a pretty feisty wolf whistle.
(It’s a Philly crowd, folks – nobody holds back)
A McCain rally in Philadelphia? i didn’t hear anything about this, or I would have gone.
The media acts like PA will vote for Barky in a landslide, but I don’t believe it.
My husband was voting for Barky, but changed his mind. This morning I saw some people with “Democrats for McCain” holding up signs on the Roosevelt Blvd.
Don’t believe the hype!
It was in Wallingford, I got notice of it at the last moment.
And yes, quite a few Democrat for McCain signs visible…
The saddest thing about lindsy the obot is she actually seems to believe she is having some kind of impact here. Like we are all thinking, “OMG, Lindsy thinks McCain/Palin will lose! Oh no oh no! We may as well just resign ourselves to it… sigh.” LOL
It’s the Obama depress the vote tactic. The MSM are in on this tactic. When Hillary started winning, the MSM just started telling her to drop out. Same tactic here. They just don’t know the Mac is back.
Everyone needs a reason to wake up in the morning.
In a BIG way, too…! He said so himself yesterday at the rally in the Philly burbs, that’s when I turned around to watch the reaction from the media types on the platform. It was at that moment that they seemed most constipated. (Except for this one old cameraman, who seemed to be having a good time.)
just make sure all you Hillary Dems come out and vote.
I promise you Conservatives wil not stay home regardess of weather or polls. They are the most consistant voting block.
With the Hillary Dems and other indy’s we can win this election.
Take care, plan for a long ine and bring something to read or share with others in line.
I will be walking to the fire station about 1/4 of a mile from my house to cast my vote as soon as the school bus takes the kids in the morning. I was prepared to look like a smurf in all blue for Hillary, but this time…I will be wearing all the red I can find, and save the blue for Hillary in 2012!
Oh dear, you are sooo right. I guess I won’t waste my time voting tomorrow.
Drats! I just realized that I voted last week for McCain/Palin!
But hey, since its a waste of time, maybe my Dem dh won’t bother voting tomorrow? Nah…let me tell you something Lindsy…
…If he gets to the polls and the line is wrapped 8 times around the school…he is voting.
…If, while waiting in like, a hail storm starts with hail the size of golf balls…he is voting.
…If he has to wait 5 hours…he is voting.
…If he finally gets to the booth and the machine is broken, and there are no pencils pens or markers, he will use his own BLOOD to mark that ballot.
…If 500 people before him vote Obama…he will still proudly vote McCain.
…If while waiting in line those 5 hours & piercing his skin for his own blood to mark his ballot, he suddenly hears on the radio that it is all over and Obama won by 95% of the vote…guess what dear? He will still place his vote.
Why? Well, how old are you? 18, 19, 20? Maybe you are still too young to realize that cliques are irrelevant; that being on the “winning” team is irrelevant. What is relevant is examining the issues, examing the character of the people running for office and then CASTING YOUR VOTE ACCORDINGLY…WIN OR LOSE.
Lindsy, I guarantee that one day you will regret YOUR vote for Obama. But we will never regret our vote for McCain.
Gov. Palin has already said she will be on the national scene in one way or another 2012. She’s made it clear she isn’t going away.
Go Sarah! The thirty percent solution – http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/the-30-percent-solution-why-democratic-women-are-voting-for-mccainpalin/
I know this is paranoid but my laptop screen just went totally white as I was trying to get to HillBuzz.
This other computer is ok so it must be my laptop, but what if it wasn’t. We would all be so isolated. I wish you would arrange a conference call schedule should anything happen to this site.

Hysterical review of Obama’s infomercial
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/infomercial-a-no-holds-barred-weepathon/
Sarah, Todd and Children,
Welcome to the Mainland (”lower 48″)!! So glad you hit the National forum!!
Glad to meetchyas!
Good Job, Sarah!!!!
Piper, you’re a little Doll, Darlin!
I agree…and that Piper is a doll for sure! Every time I see her holding her baby brother I just light up.
Thank you for the Sarah Palin information. I think she’s been much misaligned and it’s nice to see someone point out the positives, not the negatives.
And wow, Rep. Nadler didn’t do Obama any favors did he? He only said what the majority of us have felt regarding Obama’s association with Rev. Wright.
Palin is ripping on the coal tape that floated up 2 days ago, she speaks for the average worker here in the USA…like the Democratic Party of yesteryear.
I was not unhappy with Fey portrayal of Palin on SNL on Saturday night, buit it is probably only because McCain was there…tonight they will continue the MSM pileon…
Women have got to send a message that we will vote for one of our own, even if the MSM is telling us to vote for the Obamable Snowman..
Obamable Snowman, LOL, that’s a good one…
I agree. I think the more they pile on, the worse they are making it. While there are alot of women with no sense, there are alot of them that are simply pissed off about one of their own being trashed and mistreated.
I thought it was VERY POWERFUL how Sarah said in her Energy Policy speech that supporting these oppressive regimes with our energy dollars KEEPS UP THE OPPRESSION ON WOMEN everything from honor killings, mutilations, child abuse, murders, unpunished rapess, hangings, gender apartheid, and sex slavery!
THAT WAS VERY POWERFUL COMING FROM A WOMAN WHO KNOWS ENERGY!!
And it really showed up OBAMA’S MISOGYNY!!
WOW, thank heavens someone is saying this!
I followed gov Palin long ago. I was surprised about her consent to be a VP candidate. After reading the hate and anger, It seems Alaska will not be the same. Bringing divisiveness and hate from the lesser 48 to alaska is detrimental to what Gov Palin accomplished. It seems they sent up reporters to reward smearing and hate stories.
The first thing that comes to mind after reading this is…..WOW….I knew some of this but not most of it. What an outstanding, astounding, good hearted, exceptional, logical, ethical leader Sarah Palin is. This is why Obama and his campaign have been trying to trash her. She’s a HUGE THREAT.
God Bless America and God Bless John McCain and Sarah Palin
You’re right, she is a huge threat. She gets anywhere near the Oval Office and she will destroy this country. She will continue to destroy America in the same way the GOP has been trying to do for years. And you all know it.
destroy, as in energy independence, more security, more jobs?
GET LOST
Obama has promised bankruptcy and Biden has promised WAR in 6 months!
Good lord, get a grip. Drama queen much?
Let see fostering self reliance, personal responsibility, national security, and honesty…..
Yep that is destructive to the country to the vision of Obama. Not to America.
We are a nation of hard workers who ask only to keep what they have earned and to have a government that is not stealing from them. (Barney Frank, Ted Stevens, Chriss Dodd, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Charles Rangel, CHarlie Schumer and others)
That’s the biggest piece of BS I’ve ever read.
Obama has set this country back 40 years in terms of racial and gender equality!
Obama will destory America from within and you’d agree too if you would simply try to use those last three brain cells and do some decent research about what your savior stand for.
destroy this country?
How? By sending her son off to fight and maybe die for its rights?
By being supportive of her children even through mistakes, raising them to take responsibility for their actions, work hard, and be good people?
By trying to build up America’s energy independance and find alternative energy resources?
By putting her hand over her heart during the pledge and the national anthem?
By striving to make the places she has been better than they were when she arrived?
Yes, yes she will destroy the country
she will destroy the corruption
she will destroy the “old boys” advantage
she will help to dismember the misogeny, and sexism in America–not by taking away what women are–not by making us into something else, but by saying women are equal, have rights, and will not tolerate being treated as subjugates. And she will do it as a mother, a woman, a grandmother, never feeling the need to alter her feminism to accomidate the seat of power and authority.
yeah thats dangerous…compared to the man who has ties to domestic terrorists and muslim extemists.
but I suppose if you want to supress women, keep them in their “place”, limit the rights of American citizens, silence the few truth tellers in the media, and so forth then yeah…I guess Sarah Palin would destroy that.
I had a discussion with an acquaintance last night with whom I have never discussed politics. He said he had been leaning toward Obama but had changed his mind. I asked why and he was reluctant to answer but finally said he just got sick of the ads and the hype. he was attracted by the message but at the same time felt that he was being tricked. He came to believe that Obama was cheating on many levels and trying to buy the election with illegal foreign money.
But the most interesting thing he said was this: in the last few days he noticed that whenever he saw an Obama ad he was unconsciously turning up his nose and being repelled. In fact, it was the Obama ads as much as the McCain ads that changed his mind! So when you see Obama ads today, just remember that they are making a lot of people sick and turning them our way.
I had the opposite experience, on Saturday an 0b0tic friend of mine called me canvassing for “that one”.
She is a dear friend, so I was pretty taken aback by the way she turned on me when I said I was voting McCain. But more surprising than her anger was the talking point: “OH SO YOU WANT TO PAY MORE TAXES!”.
I was really confused, I’m thinking: “no lady, you have it way backwards”…but I didn’t argue the point because it was clear to me that her mind was stolen. I just wished her happy canvassing, I said you know I respect every citizen’s right to choose their candidate, that’s what America’s all about.
And she did calm down so maybe her brain isn’t totally robbed. Yet.
Overexposure is a bad thing. No doubt.
Lindsy is most definitely not an Obot. Lindsy is a Repub who supported Clinton in the primaries because I thought she was the best candidate for the job. When Obama was selected for the nomination, I moved over to McCain. His selection of Palin for VP sealed the deal for me.
I’m tired of being called an Obot by these sites just because I happen to be a realist. There is NO POLL that shows McCain winning. Even Rick Davis’ final email says they are still down, but have a “chance” to win.
Even Fox news and Drudge are calling the race over saying “It’s Obama!” How can we continue to put our heads in the sand and believe that the small minority of us here on these anti-Obama sites are going to change the minds of voters across America who have been brainwashed by the media?
All we can do is pray it is close enough that Palin has a chance to win in 2012. And pray that we survive 2 years under a President Obama so we can vote in a Repub controlled Congress to stop the bleeding in 2010.
Believe me I want John McCain to win this election. I just don’t see it in the cards, I believe this election was determined a long time ago.
Lindsy: You are a liar. Plain and simple. Seeing your post, I went over to Drudge. There is NOTHING there that says, “It’s Obama!” Instead, I see:
Gallup predicting a landslide, but that’s been there for two days, and they have been high all season.
Zogby: +5.7%
IBD/TIPP: 46.7-44.6% w/ 8.7% undecided (they were the most reliable last election)
Nice try.
p.s. in a democracy, there is no “winner” until people actually VOTE.
And n0bama always overpolls.
I don’t agree that you’re not an Obot…
WE NEVER STOP FIGHTING
WE’RE AMERICANS
All the polls for Hillary showed her down too. Yet she kept winning, at times being 20% down in the polls. It’s an old tactic. So please cut it out about the polls. This is the Obama tactic to depress voter turnout.
breaking news Lindsy is an:
OBOT, OBOT, OBOT,
LoBotomized cult of Obama personality – OBOT!
My dh told me yesterday,
“I’d rather have a frontal lombotomy, than an obama in front of me” lmao!!!
counting McCain out is a mistake, buying into the polls is a mistake and does damage to those independants who are rellying on the spirit of campaigns to win them over.
Whether you are for McCain or not–counting him out in this fight does damage to his campaign, so please, cast your vote and throw your support behind him, both in vote and in voice.
The ads on tv and the newscasts are full of badmouthing and putting it down. We have more than a chance according to insider campaign polling, if the chance was so slim Obama would not be working so hard even still. He has the ego to think if it was in the bag he could sit back and relax. He is not relaxing so he knows it is too close for even Mr. Hope to be comfortable.
And that makes me comfortable.
but we need to stand in solidarity with one another. The media won’t stand with us, every avenue of expression is closing down and we are being bombarded at every turn with negativity. So if you wonder why you are being attacked as an Obamabot its because people are tired of the assault of negativity. Call it realism, call it polls, call it whatever you want here we fight until the last vote is cast and we do not surrender the election until it over.
It is not determined until the last polling station closes, until the last vote is counted.
Anyone with a brain can see Gov. Sarah Palin is a good caring and loving person. I pray that she will get to do right for the rest of the American people. The msm is America’s worst enemy.
Yes, she is a good person, loving and caring. But she isn’t qualified.
with an IQ 10 points above zerobama and far more executive experience and SUCCESSES!
She is over 3 years old and a NATURAL BORN AMERICAN. That, by definition, makes her QUALIFIED.
now whether or not she can win your support and vote is up for debate. but you CANNOT say she is no qualified. There IS some question as to whether or not OBAMA is however so really…the qualified subject is probably one you don’t want to start.
However, she has deployed troops, mamaged massive budgets, handled energy policy, state policy, passed laws, vetoed others, commanded employees, dissmissed them, hired them, negotiated contracts, negotiated with forgein powers…what else is there that you are looking for in “qualifications?” Oh yeah…she doesn’t have a penis. my bad, you’re right. She is qualified to sleep with and carry children, raise the future of America but not qualified to lead.
Welcome to America, ladies and gentlemen. The land where the promise of equality extends only to men.
35 years old* sorry mistyped.
Obama will win and Sarah Palin lacks experience.
Fake Sokorzy: I really loved that documentary of you, Hustler’s “Nalin’ Palin”
Palin: Oh, good, yes thank you.
C’mon people; do you really think she’s qualified to be Preisdent, which by the way, is the JOB of the Vice President?
Certainly more than Barack Obama, although that´s not saying much.
Did you actually read the post? And just for our amusement, please list Sen. Obama’s EXECUTIVE accomplishments. 55 days/year in the State Senate and one year as Senator doesn’t amount to much does it, especially when he didn’t actually head the committee that he was assigned to. He DID have executive experience as the board member of Ayer’s Chicago Annenburg Challenge, where the blew millions of dollars and accomplished nothing, but you don’t want to talk about that huh?
And I really hope you writing “Sokorzy” was an attempt at some form of (lame) humor.
Obots making a final push for the O.
like you would really change anyone’s vote on this site.
what’s the definition of crazy? doing something over and over again expecting a different result every time.
Obots keep trying, expecting a different result each time. that is just pathetic.
I like how they come in and question something that when applied to their own candidate only makes him look worse. Bravo.
So what are Obama’s qualifications?
This isn’t the first time I have asked this question. Still waiting for an answer.
I searched his voting record and couldn’t find anything to justify a speech at the DNC much less a position as Senator. I searched for his Birth Certificate but couldn’t find a legitimate one.
But please, since you are SOOOOO determined to make sure we have vetted Palin sufficinetly tell me why is Barrack Obama qualified to take care of my country?
Wow! She stood up to Cheney!!! That’s like standing up to All and Powerful Oz….
Actually, its the Great and Powerful…

Yeah, and she is a real marksman, too, not a tamebird games man.
K town how anyone who thinks Sarah Palin has no experience and then can vote for Obama who has even less just shows how stupid some Americans have really become.
I’m not suprised to see that the trolls are out in force, frantically typing their little fingers off.
Isn’t it funny how they come here, insult us, then expect us to vote for Obama? Insane!
Maybe they’re frantic because they know that if Obama doesn’t win, all those cushy “spy on fellow American” jobs they’ve been promised will be gone.
I have not insulted you.
“You don’t care about the country the way you all claimed to when Hillary was running.”
I certainly consider this an insult, you twit.
BRAVO!!!
Yeah i love it how they come around my neighborhood and tell me how I don’t know what the issues are and how good Obama will make my life. Or how I am racist for not wanting to vote for him.
YES…calling me racist is going to change my vote. I am going to vote for a man whose policies I believe are fundementally wrong and bad for America in order to avoid being called racist.
Or how about the ones who stole my yard signs yesterday or the ones who called and said to my mother they were going to rape her daughters after the election because of who she was voting for…or the ones who grabbed the 10 year old little girl in my neighborhood on her way home from school, in order to “go talk to her mommy about who she is voting for”. Yes they make me WANT to vote for Obama…
even if somehow I went insane and thought his policies were good ones and I could ignore all of the skeletons in his closet and all the mystery of his associations and background…if I could get by all that I STILL WOULD NOT VOTE FOR HIM.
because after all of the harassment and voter intimidation his supporters have perpetrated HE has never ONCE reputiated it. Never said it was wrong or stop. Never said the harassment of Palin was inappropriate, never came out and said the hanging of her effigy as a halloween prank was at a minimum distasteful. He never repudiated the comments calling McCain a racist or unpatriotic. But he expects and demands that people repudiate the mean comments made about him. Demands McCain repudiate his supporters who say he is a muslim or arab, or anything else negative.
double standard much?
Obama’s supporters have commited horrible voter intimidation and vilence against women. The smears on Palin have gotten worse on tv, the misogyny, the sexism and he says nothing.
But he expects my vote.
Do you have caller ID? Even if you don’t the cops can get the phone records if someone has delivered a credible threat. You should file a police report.
They’re doing their Obot community service that they signed their life away to do for him.
Obama at least doesn’t claim to see another nation from his house. Putin does not “rear his head and fly into American air space.” He does not believe that witches need to be exorcised from his body. He does not desire to see Alaska secede from the US. He reads.
Oh, yes, he’s also intelligent, articulate, and has great ideas about what to do with this country. She wants to make decisions about my uterus; keep us bogged down in a war just to say “We’ve won,” prevent my kids from having affordable (if any) health care; allow tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans, corporations– oh, yes, Exxon has made record profits again this quarter– let’s make sure to give them a break, why dontcha!
She herself called Alaska the “socialist part of the country” when she gave all Alaskans money from the oil companies (which by the way– spreading the wealth around! I think is a great idea).
On Bill Bennett this morning they were discussing why all the n0b0t hate toward Palin. They were getting all psychobabblish about it, when it’s really quite simple:
Palin is cleaning n0bama’s clock.
K-town people like you is the one who going to destroy this great country, sec0ndary to Obama. If you think socialism works why don’t you move to Europe? You can see for yourself Europe are realising now that socialism doesnt work.If you want money,go and work just like everybody else…Nothing is free!!
“Obama at least doesn’t claim to see another nation from his house.”
well, why should he? — he doesn’t. He does have a good view of the lot Rezko helped him buy though.
And he has claimed to have been to 57 of our states.
Maybe he missed basic U.S. geography in that Indonesian school.
but he can certainly claim to be a citizen of another nation.
so why haven’t the O released his college transcripts to prove his “intelligence.”
if he’s so intelligent, why does he need to stick to a script, and even brings a teleprompter to a rodeo.
Obama’s has less intellectual capacity than Bush.
I heard that he chose Biden not because of Biden’s experience but because he heard Biden boast about his high IQ. maybe he thought it might rub off.
UM….you CAN see Russia from Alaska…and why does her claim of that bother you anyway?
And yeah Russian fighter planes invaded US airspace over Alaska a few months ago during the Georgian conflict. This is not unusual they did it all the time during the cold war. And btw alot of us Americans consider that kinda a bad thing and would really prefer the Russians not do it. But most politicians are too cowardly to actually say something about it because they fear and “international incident” Frankly I consider violating our territory an “international incident” but I guess if the weenies in washington are ok with it we can just let them move in.
BTW freedom of religion means if someone wants witches excized from their body they can have it. To a great many cultures across the planet believe that “evil” forces are just as real as bacterial infections and must be treated by an appropriate method. if you can’t handle someone’s beleifs maybe you ought to check into a country where they can’t think different then you. But here in this Nation we can believe whatever we want.
She never said she wanted Alaska to sucede. She went to a rally for a political group where that is not even one of their major tenants. However at the time she was a republican and still remains a republican…I know that makes her evil by your standards but it goes back to that first amendment type thing…
Obama is an articulate motivating speaker…SO was Hilter, Pol Pot, and Stalin. Not a good reason to vote or someone to lead. Oh yeah…they all had great ideas for the country too.
She wants to legislate your uterus…and you want to legislate our future generations. Obama has the most liberal abortion voting record, i know that does not bother a lot of people here but it profoundly bothers me. I believe in choice–if a people can use it responsibly. Leaving newborns to die, withholding treatment because they survived an abortion, to me is profoundly wrong. Aborting a baby when it can survive outside the womb to me is also profoundly wrong. Using abortion as a contraceptive because you are irresponsible is wrong in my opinion. My generation is 1/3 smaller because of abortions, less than 1% of those medically justified. My generation is so much smaller than the preceeding that Social security will fail because we and our children’s generations will be too small to pay for our parents. over 1 million abortions every year in this nation alone.
Every right MUST be used responsibly and structures RESPONSIBLY. your candidate’s voting record on MY uterus is irresponsible and endangers our country’s future.
to think that he would say he would want his daughters to be able to have an abortion rather than be embarassed and burdened by their mistake…that sets a dangerous tone for mothers and children in America. We must never disrespect the birth and rearing of our future. Where does that place women? What value does he level on US with that and similiar statements? Will our daughts be told by their lovers to go get an abortion rather than be burdened by a child?
Do not try and use my uterus as a method to swing the vote. and BTW its McCain’s position on abortion that is critical…since HE is the one running for president.
keep us bogged down in a war just to say we won…NO. Just to say to the Iraqi people “you are free from tyranny and terrorism” We walked in and tore that country apart. Walking out without fixing our mess is irresponsible not to mention will only leave it ripe for another tyrannical power to take over and fight against us at a later date. We made the mess, we help clean it up. its back to that be responsible thing.
they never said anything about not taxing the wealthy…and why are people so bent on taxing them. Don’t you get it if you tax people greater at a certain number you are only preventing others from becoming wealthy…like YOURSELF?
the wealthy can afford the taxes. They already pay over 50% of the taxes for the country anyway. We owe them a thank you. Howeve when you set a numerical leeled tax anyone who is trying to reach and surpass that level gets stuck. Essentially forming a class barrier…yeah thats what we need. We need to make it so the rich are even more isolated from average americans and the average american cannot ever become rich. nice.
FYI 250k in some areas of this country is not enough to get by if you have a few kids in college, a morgage, and actually want something left over to retire on. Oh yeah…Biden said that was down to 150k now wasn’t it?
Over 70% of “small businesses” as defined by government tax standards make over 250k a year. 250k is enough to cover 2 50,000 salaries. So yeah, we’re taking from the big guys when we tax two person businesses. Learn a little about business taxes before you go on about how McCain and Obama’s tax plans actually affect them. You are going to tax your local barber into the ground under Obama, and your farmers, your local grocers…hope you are not too fond of those businesses.
Again…a good reason to vote for Obama is…?
Oh yeah….hating Palin for no good reason is a great justification to decide the fate of our nation and deliver it into the hands of an under qualified, inexperienced, social agitator with no responsible policy or voting record…yeah makes great sense to me.
You just keep repeating all the Obot lies about Sarahcuda while those of us PUMAs who’ve taken the time to research the real Sarah are laying out our orange PUMA duds in preparation for the big day tomorrow.
BTW, in case you hadn’t noticed, Barky just lost the coal mining states, big time.
Reading this post, it makes me angry that the McCain camp did not do a better job of putting out this information. They allowed the MSM to frame Palin, instead of letting people know, repeatedly, what she has accomplished.
That’a because the McCain campaign didn’t vet her.
Just like DNC doesnt vet Obama..Everyone realised DNC can be bought with money..
The media more than vetted Sarah Palin.
They didn’t even scracth the surface of the stuff that Obama needs to be vetted on. And they’ve gotten away with it.
Even the Huffington Post blurbed Palin’s biography and stated that she’s ready to be president.
The campaign did vet her, and everything you’ve claimed about her is a lie.
Whether or not the DNC vetted Obama is irrelevant; with the MSM (which is not now, nor has it ever been, “liberal”) totally in the tank for this Trojan horse candidate, they knew very little of the truth about Barack Obama would ever reach the public.
Congratulations, sucker. You’ve been tricked into supporting Bush the Third. (Didn’t you wonder the least bit how it happened that Colin Powell AND Scott McClellan endorsed your so-called “Liberal Democrat?”
How’s it feel to be sooo damned gullible?
No instead Obama believes that it is okay to have Israel-hating, American-hating, white people-hating friends. He believes it is okay for babies who survive abortions to be left to die. Hw believes that white people should have pay to African American reperations through redistribution of wealth. He believes it is okay to lie and flip flop on every issue and take millions of dollars in illegal campaign contributions. His wife believes it is okay to only be proud of America because her husband is about to elected POTUS.
Barack Obama will be the worst President this country has ever had. If we even exist as a nation in 2012 or if our democracy is still in tact he will be overwhelmingly defeated. He will DESTROY our economy, our national security, and what is left of our pride.
God help us.
Your PUMA movement is flailing about. This site used to get hundreds of comments every post. Now, barely a hundred.
There is no whitey tape. Larry C. Johnson has fooled you all for months. He’s hoping. He’s not all there.
I understand your passion for Hillary– she’s fabulous– but your hatred for Obama and love for Palin (because she’s “one of us”– what does that mean, she has a vagina?) is absurd.
You don’t care about the country the way you all claimed to when Hillary was running. She knew what to do; where have you all gone? Hillary’s and Obama’s policies are 95% similar.
Think about the country; McCain and Palin would be a disaster. They align with Hillary in no way.
Yeap just like Obamabot always telling us that Obama will win this election….So, why are you here??
BTW K-town, do you speak Spanish or German yet?? Under Obama rules American need to learn second language or he will feel embarrassed with you?
German, French, and I can read Latin. Thanks for asking.
I got me a college edumacation!
Call me cynical, but I highly doubt someone who can’t even spell the French President’s name has any mastery of French.
Yep, screwed up there. Sarkozy. What did I type, Sakorzy?
oh geez, you think you’re smart because you can speak different languages?? LMAO!!
Got a college education but forgot to pay attention in history when they went over the failure of socialism and spreading the wealth. Or the great orators of history, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, their class warfare, social agitiation, and intimidation tactics/violent rise to power.
Learned German but apparently didn’t learn about its history. I was there when the wall fell and those policies saw their end. If you had learned anything in college, which I doubt under the current methods of teaching (and this from a college professor)you would be able to recognize how much damage his policies are going to cause and already have.
We have never been so divided this century than this man has made us.
Ladies and Gentlemen a college education is nothing more than a peice of paper stating you participated in an established course of study approved by an organization that for some reason we put faith in. Its an agreement nothing more.
People who have actually had to work, run a business, fight for their rights and survival, they know better than our collegiate elite a good leader when they see one. They don’t see one in Obama
That’s what I wondered when my n0b0t friend called me to canvas for n0bama on Saturday…if he is enjoying such a huge lead in PA why are the drones out still trying to hook some fish for their master?
Does.not.compute.
It’s funny you mention that PUMA’s aren’t here in full numbers today, but can’t put 2 and 2 together to what that means. You may have heard there’s an election soon?
Not just today; it’s been like this for a long time. After the selection of Palin, your numbers dropped. Many PUMAs just couldn’t go along with it.
They’re concerned for the country.
Nope. You’re just making stuff up now. FULL PANIC MODE!!!
I’m watching CNN and they don’t look comfortable AT ALL. No enthusiasm at all. Wright commercial on every half hour. YES! On CNN.
PUMAs are on the prowl.
Why are you here if you’re not in full panic mode? You smell of desperation.
Even non-PUMA feminist sites have been defending Palin against the sexist onslaught.
Wow that comes as a surprise to the numerous DEMOCRATS for McCAIN that were at the rally yesterday.
hmmm…
Excuse me, but many of us PUMAs have already voted early…and NOT for Barky. We are not desperate, just determined. It isn’t us who are trying to convince y’all to abandon the kool-aid- that’s y’all’s gig- the “convincing”…BTW- how’s that going for you? I think we’re seeing something like the primaries where Hillary kept being discounted, while all the while kicking the O’s sorry butt. I no longer believe anything I hear on the MSM- they have joined my category of “the weekend weather lie”, where they always tell you the weather will be great for the weekend- and it usually isn’t. Like that. The “end of campaign victory lie” is very similar- believe it at your own peril. I’m just sorry we won’t have Hillary as our prez.- what a crying shame.
What a fucking dork you are. The comments are down because the threads come fast and furious. Besides the number of servers has increased and they found that many ‘eyes’ are upon NoQuarter, unlike DKos and DU. Their Orwellian ‘alone those who are for Obama’ get to have a comment has torpedoed their number of lurkers.
Let’s see all the trolls tomorrow night, huh. You’ll either be here in droves to gloat, or choosing the poison you will take due to your ‘disappointment’ or failure for YOUR messiah.
I hope they pay you decently to waste your time like this.
As Michelle Obama said, when asked if she would support Hillary if she were the nominee, “I’d have to think about that. I’d have to think about that, her policies, her approach, her tone.”
And I’ve thought a lot about Obama’s tone, approach, and even policies, and I don’t quite like what I see. Sorry!
Finally! An honest, thoughtful response, rather than calling him a racist, misogynist, socialist, etc.
He is racist and virulently misogynist; and the only kind of socialism this soulless opportunist believes in is the kind he just pushed for last month in the Senate.
You know, the big “bailout?” The one that socializes the risks (it’s taxpayers’ money, remember) while privatizing profits.
You make me sick. When McCain wins I will think of the pain that you feel — and I will smile.
McCain and Clinton’s plans have a great deal more in common than Clinton’s and Obamas.
Also Clinton served her Nation with her time and her voice, even to be skewered by the media back in Bill’s first term. Skewered for trying to make America better, kinda like…Palin.
Hillary Clinton and John McCain have worked together on legeslation time and time again. they consider eachother friends. Even Bill Clinton praises McCain. Barely mentions Obama’s name. Hillary and Bill are stumping for Obama because they need the DNC’s money for their poltical futures.
McCain Palin are inclusive. Gay, Lesbian, Democrat, Republican, Independant, White, Black, Latino, Asian, Native American, all American, all welcome. Fundementally we want a better future. We don’t all have to agree how exactly to make that but we can agree to work for it together.
Obama’s campaign has not been inclusive. It has insinuated that if you disagree that you are racist…it has pointed out time and time again Obama is black, you know what we don’t care, but they keep hammering on it. “Its not about race” that statement says it all–its about race. We want to know what he is going to do for our country. He wants to spread the wealth. Rather than encourage people to work hard, we’ll just take more from those who do and give it to those who don’t. Seems fair. What happens when those who work hard decide that having it taken away is not good incentive to keep working hard? I guess no one works hard then. Then there’s not much wealth to spread around.
This site is getting fewer comments because its members are out recruiting votes, making calls, and posting signs, winning the election. rather than sitting on their bum trying to make people depressed.
ok, k-town. or should I call you kkk-town?
You are obviously worried about Obama losing. So get off your a** and get to work for him. You see, people here have made up their minds and are voting country first.
You stick out like a sore thumb. And you are dumb.
Better get some therapy, obot from kkk town.
Our PUMA movement is going strong, sweetie. Sadly, this site has been overrun with conservatives who truly believe Barack Obama is a “far left liberal” (which is a contradiction in terms) and a Socialist/Communist (also a contradiction) and that’s why the so-called “liberal” media is so totally in the tank for the SOB.
Those of us who are REAL Liberal Democrats know who and what Barack Obama is, and why the same media that foisted Bush/Cheney on us in 2000 and 2004 has now lined up solidly behind Bush III. There’s an old joke in Illinois that goes something like this:
Q: What do you call a Republican politician in Chicago?
A: A Democrat.
As for us PUMAs, you’ll find us at The Confluence, where PUMA was born and is thriving, and at PUMAPac, and Not Your Sweetie, and Cannonfire, and any of the dozens of PUMA sites that have sprung up since the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee stole the nomination from Hillary and awarded it to the Dem voters’ second choice, the person who got 100,000 fewer votes than she did, and who lost to her–sometimes by double digits–in states like California, and Pennsylvania, and New York, and Massachusetts, and Texas.
You know–piddley, unimportant states like that.
Obama promises us bankruptcy and unaffordable costs.
Biden promises us war in 6 months.
We promise to defeat both these useless assholes tomorrow!
Quit getting your information from No Quarter and find an independent source for your information.
I rather find my own sources than listening to hateful,stupid,unresourceful person like you.
I’ve not been hateful. Read my posts. I’ve said nothing hateful here.
an “independant source”?
like the in-the-tank CNN?
MSNBC?
That’s very funny.
What time did your mommy let you out of the basement………Just drink your koolaide and go away……
K-town,
You have come here and spread untruthful smears about Sarah Palin, I find that hateful.
are you really this stupid?? I mean, I’m serious, do you know anything about economics? Let’s put every other single thing aside except for the economy. Do you know YOU DON’T RAISE TAXES ESPECIALLY DURING A DOWNTURN/RECESSION OF THE ECONOMY?
DO YOU REALIZE THAT RICH PEOPLE PROVIDE JOBS, HEALTH CARE AND PENSION BENEFITS NOT POOR PEOPLE?
DO YOU REALIZE THAT WHEN 40% OF PEOPLE DON’T PAY INCOME TAX BUT CONSUME RESOURCES THAT IT IS NOT GOING TO BALANCE OUT?
YOU CERTAINLY DON’T RAISE CORPORATE TAXES-THEY PROVIDE JOBS. US COMPANIES ALREADY HAVE THE 2ND HIGHEST RATE.
TAXING 401K’S-WOW THAT’S ANOTHER GOOD ONE….
YOU NEED TO FIND A RELIABLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION PERIOD AND HERE’S A HINT…IT DOESN’T START WITH “YES WE CAN”…..
How about the Chicago newspapers that reported on his lack of accomplishments and ethics the entire time he was in the Illinois state senate? Do those qualify as independent sources for you> Or should we do as you, and only listen to official Obama sanctioned media reports…
Thank you for this excellent post. I’ve been a Democrat following Sarah Palin’s career for over a year. When I found out McCain was choosing her I was and still am thrilled. What the press has done in the election towards Sarah is an utter disgrace and frankly flat out dishonest. The press needs to be investigated. This cannot continue if we expect to hold onto our Democracy.
Thank you so much for this research, Sharyn. I read your post with utmost interest and am apalled by the smears, efforts to belittle and the misogynic attacks against this evidently capable female.
It matters where she stands politically, of course, in a decision whether one wants to vote for her or not. I personnaly prefer, like Bill Clinton suggests, someone I can agree with on 50% of the issues, but gets things done and is able to reach across the aisle. To have a brave woman who takes on the ole boys network and effectively works against corruption within her own party, is to me, frankly, admirable, no matter which side of the aisle someone is on.
I see the Obama bullies are out in force today, esp. on this post!! Can you smell the fear and desperation!!! Sarah Palin was a brilliant choice by Mac!
he/she probably drew the short straw and got assigned on this thread to disrupt. that’s part of their strategy – disrupt a thread so that no sensible discussion takes place and other people gets fed up and leave.
at the end of his/her shift, he/she will get a full check for the minimum pay rate.
sure sign of panic if you ask me!
McCain/Palin
Umm, no.
Not in full force, if you’d care to read. I am the only one here wasting my time. I have no fear, no desperation.
Sarah Palin was a horrible choice. Why do you think leading members of the GOP are dropping him?
She’s not ready.
Another 36 hours or so and they’ll turn into bats and fly away. Political historians WILL record that it was Palin that turned this election and ended the career of Obama.
Who says GOP leaders are a good thing?
She is attracking people from the middle ground, average Americans not the political elite. About time!
She won’t pander or serve GOP terms she will do as she says, as she believes. And that is why we can count on her.
“Leading members of the GOP” are dropping him because he was never their choice anyway. That would be your great “Liberal” hero Obama.
Mac’s choice of Sarah just gives them an excuse.
Some internal polling numbers in PA that look real good for McCain-Palin:
Pennsylvania
McCain 55%
Obama 33%
Undecided 10%
Among Democrats in PA:
Obama 47%
McCain 37%
Undecided 14%
http://davidjeffers.thevanguard.org/wp-content/uploads/qr103108-the-real-polls.mp3
This is still a turnout election.
PUMAs in PA are motivated!!
1 day to VICTORY!!
Country First!!
thanks for posting….hmmm, guess PUMA’s are pretty significant eh?
thanks for this. The latest “bankrupt the coal industry” and “skyrocketing energy costs” cannot help Obama, as Palin says, from Pennsylvania to Wyoming!
Ha, ha. This is very significant. Its possible that McCain could win more Dems than The O.
I had managed to garner many of these facts about Governor Palin…in spite of the media.
Yes, in spite of the “traitors” who have carried BO’s cartridge belt for these many months!
They have slammed TWO fine women, and this woman plans to remember for a VERY LONG TIME!
I will never give them my ear again!
Just curious, how are you all voting down ticket?
Only ONE democrat, for Congress, and only as pay-back for her opponent sliming her and a previous contender in 2006. Voted for ALL the female candidates for judgeships (non-partisan).
Let women put some padding in the shoulders of their Chanel knock-offs and run the show for awhile. I’m tired. I want to sit in my rocker, pet my cat, smoke a decent cigar about sundown, play Deep Purple and Allman Brothers CD’s and try for some Cutthroats and Bonnevilles on the weekends.
I have done my part, from Duke to DaNang, thank you very much.
Call me if you get cold fusion or perpetual motion figured out…
I will be voting republican all the way. the democratic party needs to be purged.
How I will be voting depends on the actions of the candidates. McCain for Pres, down ticket will be Democrats who did NOT support Obama, Republican otherwise! Indiana will be red, though I suspect they will have to drag out the corrupt Mayor of Gary in handcuffs as he is furiously still trying to write absentee ballots voting for Obama at 4am.
We’re voting straight GOP except for one local dem race.
We are six democrats who will not be voting for Obama, etc. First time in voting history to vote GOP for Prez for all of us.
PUMA!!!!
Excellent job, Sharyn. Thanks so much for your hard work and research. And thanks to Hampy for posting it here on your behalf. It’s a shame you had this diary deleted from another website when you posted it there.
test
is there any reason that my posts aren’t posting?
I post “test” and it works; I post my post & nothing happens.
thank you Sharyn and NH,
Yep, that’w what CHANGE looks like!
She doesn’t get the highest aproval numbers as Governor for nothing.
Sharin
This is wonderful. I’m sending your site to all my friends. I pray to God that USA understand the dangers of an Obama Administration. This lady is worth much more that we think. Her values and ideals are the ones of a great reformer.
Maybe by choosing someone less experienced he is paying it forward in some way?
http://www.slate.com/id/2188545/
Slate is Obama central, I do not go there anymore.
no read the slate link story. It’s complimentary to McCains character.
Ok, it’s the Mo Udall story. That is a good one.
BTW, I believe that Slate only has two Mac supporters on staff, but are quiet about it… the rest have been hitting the kool aid hard.
Great post Sharyn!!
I just got back from voting
I voted for democracy
one man one vote and the right to choose my own candidate rather than having the DNC do it for me!!
MCCain 2008
HILLARY 2012
A VOTE FOR OBAMA IS A VOTE AGAINST HILLARY
I agree with k-town. If I didn’t know that most of you are women (I guess..), I would’ve thought you are men, with your rudeness, and dismissal of the points she’s making.
She’s not “making points,” she’s spouting talking points that have been debunked time and time again.
Gov. Palin has still been running the state of Alaska while on the campaign trail. Obama didn’t work when he wasn’t on the trail.
