    You go girl!

    Hi Soldier. I love your videos.

    I’m from Chicago too. I just laugh when people think the Messiah is clean. So naive.

  • Babs

    Hi, Patsy!! Another video just telling it like it is!! Thanks, you are one awesome lady!!

  • IndayHill

    I totally agree that the double standard is still very viciously being used by the media and the Democratic Party.DNC thought that they got rid of the most qualified person for the office of the presidency, Senator Hillary Clinton.
    The more the leftest continue smearing Governor Sarah Paylin, the better the rating of Senator John McCain will be. A woman will finally shatter the 18,000,000 cracks in the glass ceiling.Soldier4Hillary,we win when we do so see the shattered ceiling. Let them sweep the floor!

  • Puma-SF

    you hit the nail right on the head as you always do. Congratulations for all the work that you do on the behalf of all the good people.

  • AC

    Bravo! You nailed it!

    The left, the Hollywood elites and the mainstream media can remain in denial all the want. PUMA Democrats are real, we are angry and we’re not going to take it any longer.

    Thank you for speaking the truth. You are a cyber- soldier for this country.

    Good stuff. From a wonderful girl.

    Well, considering the current state of the Dem party it NEEDS to die!

  • Mr. Natural

    My wife’s from Chicago. Back when I first told her about the dirt that was sticking to Senator Obama, and in particular, the machinations of Emil Jones, she just rolled her eyes and said, “why are you surprised? It’s Chicago.”

  • Ms J of FL

    you go girl. it’s okay for us to join up because ppl like Obama & his sycophants don’t want to. he needs to take his pussy ass down to the Army recruiting office & join up instead of just ACTING like John Wayne. THEN he can ask Palin if she can hang like the men. Obama is all talk. he needs to be called out.

  • http://home.comcast.net/~vincep312 Vince P

    I hate to think what’s going to happen to this city once the current King dies.

  • Hispana

    Outstanding! Clear an concise. Great question, why the double standard?

  • Cahil

    Soldier, you are absolutely right. The DNC has double standardized themselves into a nightmare.

    The same way they have pressured AA delegates and voters by saying they were Uncle Toms by not supporting one of their own. Really curious since he wasn’t black enough in the beginning and he touted himself as bi-racial until it became more convenient to be black.

  • American Woman

    Wow, I haven’t heard anyone highlight the double standard of our service women who have babies and are delployed and leave thier children behind to serve our country. I’m sure they won’t go there…Great Video…thank you!

  • Hope Floats

    You tell ‘em, Patsy! Whew, the Dem women are in an uproar over Gov.Palin. A friend of mine in NY volunteered for the Obama campaign, because she thinks there might be enough women to make the state go red. Fat chance, but she doesn’t want to take any chances.

  • sayitisntso

    All these Liberal Losers want something for nothing and then trash the flag! Dispicable gutter types!

    Thanks Soldier! God bless U!

  • sayitisntso

    Read on a left blog:
    “Every advantage it seemed that Obama has had is evaporating. Obama was supposed to have so much more money. Perhaps he does but he certainly isn’t spending it on ads in Michigan where McCain seems to be running 3 ads to every one for Obama. I wouldn’t be surpised to see McCain taking the lead in Michigan with the next poll.”

    YaYYYYYY!

  • Northwest rain

    Thank you! Yes there is a double standard.

    This reminds me of Sojourner Truth’s “Ain’t I a women” speech. Seneca Falls — way back in the 19th century.

  • Nik

    Great Video.

    I am black women who has left the Democratic party. PUMA for real. Until Hillay2012 cleans house on the DNC, Pelosi, Dean, Kerry, T. Kennedy, Edwards, in the tank media, and the other Messiah followers. LISTEN closely….as Donna Brazile wants us to Stay home. You may not read our emails, the DNC will not be funded by us, our voices may not be heard thru the MSM, but the silence cast of our votes for the Mccain/Palin ticket on Nov 4th will have a ripple effect that will go down in history.

    Great commentary. The Democratic Party has changed and is not the party I joined so many years ago.

  • nicole

    I’m glad to see more African-Americans besides myself openly speaking out against Obama. People in the black community for the most part look at those of us who don’t support him as though we’re against our own people. It’s never been about supporting him simply because he’s the same color as me; it’s about who can do the best job. Obama wasn’t ready to run for President but race has protected him up to this point from being criticized about anything. During the primaries, we saw how any dig at his experience by the Clintons was twisted and made out to be racist (and the media didn’t help).

    The Democratic Party should have supported Hillary for the presidency. Now they’re seeing the effects of their decision not to. I’m not saying that I agree with Palin on issues such as abortion and gay rights but let’s hear what she and McCain have to say in the debates first before we pass judgment. They say they’re willing to work across party lines; let’s see what that means.

  • JohninCA

    I think that for African American outreach, Republicans would be wise to make greater use of things like this article by MLK Jr.’s niece Alveda…

    It seems as if the lastest palin [DELETED BY ADMINISTRATOR] smear is also a lie, and is linked with people in obama’s camp. When are they going to start holding this man accountable.

    There are a lot of us more than any old ten 90 percent of the black people who vote might be voting for Obama, but that’s not 90 percent of the black population. If it was, there wouldn’t be anybody left to register in his stupid voter drives that are getting on my nerves everywhere I go.

    Running out of money.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/09/us/politics/09donate.html?_r=1&hp=&oref=slogin&pagewanted=all

    “The signs of concern have become evident in recent weeks as early fund-raising totals have suggested that Mr. Obama’s decision to bypass public financing may not necessarily afford him the commanding financing advantage over Senator John McCain that many had originally predicted.”

    “the [Obama] campaign is struggling to meet ambitious fund-raising goals it set for the campaign and the party. It collected in June and July far less from Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s donors than originally projected. Moreover, Mr. McCain, unlike Mr. Obama, will have the luxury of concentrating almost entirely on campaigning instead of raising money, as Mr. Obama must do.”

  • Obama’s gums look sick

    Let’s thing through this “lack of experience” argument hurled at Palin. She is an Alaska girl, raised there, has her family there and is immersed in its values and cultures.

    She got involved and rode her experience to the highest job Alaska had to offer. And after two years in the highest job Alaska has to offer, she is running 80% popularity numbers in a state so small everything is transparent, whether you want it to be or not.

    But to the Dems, this is not good enough. They demand Palin pack up the family, turn her back on her roots and connections and move to a larger town and a larger state so she can get “real” experience before she is allowed to be considered to be VP.

    This is just anohter case of the Dems raising the bar higher and higher and higher just like they did to Hillary, when they found they could not defeat the candidate on merits.

    Now they insist Palin move to satisfy their version of qualifications because this hockey mom has taken her personal history and the welfare of Alaska as far as she can take it. But this is not good enough for the Dems. Biden on the other hand is also from a small state and only became its senator after decades of career government work. Obviously no talent, no ambition and no qualification for higher office. He set his sights low and kept them there.

    On the other hand, being home grown, staying in one place and gaining hands on experience has never been a hurdle for Obama – he learned early that all you have to do in his America is lie your way to the top and bully anyone who tries to expose you for the fraud.

    This is a downwardly mobile life plan you chose, Obama. Palin took the upwardly mobile life plan all the way to the top of her home state. She is ready on Day One.

  • sayitisntso

    Thurs. is the anniversary of 9/11. Wonder if O. will come close to mentioning the war against terror which he obviously avoided at the convention.

  • Ai1een

    Patsy –
    Great job. You hit the nail on the head again!

  • Darryl

    OMG, somebody pick her up and make her a mayor. Lets get her started in politics!

  • Tristan

    Glad to hear it. It just seems unamerican to select a candidate because of their race. I’ll have to give AAs the benefit of the doubt and say that they just tend to skew more liberal, regardless of socio-ecoomic class. Maybe I’m naive but it beats the alternative.

    I personally think Democratic leadership has failed African Americans. I live right next to Washington DC which has had Democratic African American mayors for 33 years. The current mayor (Fenty) may turn things around, and I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and am definitely pulling for him, but that still leaves a good 30 years of mismanagement and the nation’s capitol and its residents deserved better. It’s shocking that a political party can stay in power that long.

  • John House

    Oh I am glad to hear you’re okay (after someone posted in the threads last week that you were in the hospital). Awesome video, as usual. Thank you!

  • John House

    That’s why you use his voter registration drives to register to vote and then go vote for McCain/Palin. HAW HAW! :D

  • John House

    That’s an awesome article. Thanks for that!

    Uh uh this doesn’t look Messiahly:

    http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/07/top-senate-recipients-of-fanni.html

    This cycle, with Democrats in control, [Fanni Mae] reversed course, giving the party 56 percent of their total $1.1 million in contributions. Similarly, Freddie Mac has given 53 percent of its $555,700 in contributions to Democrats this cycle, compared to the 44 percent it gave during 2006

    Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have also strategically given more contributions to lawmakers currently sitting on committees that primarily regulate their industry. Fifteen of the 25 lawmakers who have received the most from the two companies combined since the 1990 election sit on either the House Financial Services Committee; the Senate Banking, Housing & Urban Affairs Committee; or the Senate Finance Committee. The others have seats on the powerful Appropriations or Ways & Means committees, are members of the congressional leadership or have run for president. Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), chairman of the Senate banking committee, has received the most from Fannie and Freddie’s PACs and employees ($133,900 since 1989). Rep. Paul Kanjorski (D-Pa.) has received $65,500. Kanjorski chairs the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance and Government-Sponsored Enterprises, and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs.

  • wodiej

    very good article and interesting to say the least that the Democratic party is the racist one not the Republicans. The black community has been hoodwinked and bamboozled-AGAIN, by their own leaders.

  • wodiej

    that one is so far out there I can’t believe anyone would even try to smear Palin w that. [DELETED BY ADMINISRTRATOR]? right, I didn’t believe it for a second. I smell…..DESPERATION from the Obama camp.

  • PuppyDogMom

    I love these videos. Thank you soldierforhillary2012! You are a terrific spokesperson for what is wrong with this election cycle. Keep ‘em coming!

  • elise

    sayitsintso, Obama’s running ads here in Colorado at about the same rate as McCain. They have both been here since the Conventions ended. I know Obama hoped to turn this state blue in Nov, but he is in some trouble with the polls. His lead has gone from double digits to within the margin of error. Mark Udall, the Dem. candidate for senate, went from a twenty point lead after the state convention to a statistical tie and his Republican opponent is running twice as many ads. I wonder if the Co Dem. Party is short on funds after the big convention in Denver? I thought Udall would be a good downticket Dem to vote for since his opponent ran for governor two years ago and lost by a large margin, but I’m not too impressed with him now. I was hoping the Party could increase the margin in the senate to give some balance to McCain, but I don’t know if it will happen here. I don’t believe Obama will win Co. and he needs it. BTW, soldier4hillary thank you for the video. Sexism runs deeper in our country than I would ever have thought possible. Gov. Palin will endure two months of this before the election and more if McCain wins, but it is a hopeful sign that Republican women are seeing now what they couldn’t or wouldn’t when it was directed at Hillary. Women make up the majority population and our power would be something to reckon with if we could unite. Just think of it and the possibilities to benefit our children’s future. If that ever happens, Hillary should get the gold star by her name for showing us how it can be done. She has the scars from all the battles she has fought in her lifetime for equal rights for women and children, and protection for families. Thank you again for inspiring with your videos.

    The double standards and hypocrisy of the Obamacrats is GLARING at everyone.

    Obama should have waited and hopefully the majority will vote against him so America won’t have to ‘learn’ with him. It would be a disaster.

    Nicole-
    Being a black american woman and not voting for Obama would put you in some way right where it has put me. Although you could not be called a racist. Many black americans have been ridiculed and referred to as traitors.I am a white american and have been cast as a racist for supporting the candidate of my choice. I have also been called a sexist for supporting Hillary.Why cant I just be called an intelligent american for being able to see the most qualified candidate and making the choice to support her?
    I would agree that he has been given a free ride with the media as well as the powers that be in the party.

    I was taught to lead not to follow.

    I have faith in all americans and believe that come Nov. McCain will win.
    We may have 2 women running in 2012. Wow! That would be awesome.

    Love your video Soldier!!!!
    Keep em coming.

  • C.S.

    They who? Soertoro/Obama was part of the the Democratic Senate majority when someone other than the government and the military broke that scandal.

    And although he keeps telling us he can’t do his Senate job and run for president simultaneously, that’s no excuse for Soertoro/Obama not doing his job. And being able to multi-task is a necessary skill for a president; one of the reasons GWB was such a failure.

    are you kidding? while you keep asking “what about, what about”, yes indeed, what about: what about palin turning down funding for unwed mothers (now her daughter is one, heh). what about palin turning down funding for families with disabled children (now she has one, funny how that worked out for her, on both counts). what about becoming mayor in a town, that is smaller than most united states high schools, that was debt free, only to leave it with a multi million dollar debt because some hair brained idea for a grand sports plex that has been an economical drain. what about her stabbing everyone in the back that has helped her get where she is.

    the following (it’s quite long, but worth every word) is taken from a woman who has lived thru palin’s idea of government (pass it on):

    ABOUT SARAH PALIN

    I am a resident of Wasilla, Alaska. I have known Sarah since 1992.

    Everyone here knows Sarah, so it is nothing special to say we are on a
    first-name basis. Our children have attended the same schools.
    Her
    father was my child’s favorite substitute teacher.
    I also am on a
    first name basis with her parents and mother-in-law.
    I attended more
    City Council meetings during her administration than about 99% of the
    residents of the city.

    She is enormously popular; in every way she’s like the most popular
    girl in middle school.
    Even men who think she is a poor choice and
    won’t vote for her can’t quit smiling when talking about her because
    she is a “babe”.

    It is astonishing and almost scary how well she can keep a secret.
    She
    kept her most recent pregnancy a secret from her children and parents
    for seven months.

    She is “pro-life”. She recently gave birth to a Down’s syndrome baby.

    There is no cover-up involved, here; Trig is her baby.

    She is energetic and hardworking. She regularly worked out at the gym.

    She is savvy.
    She doesn’t take positions; she just “puts things out
    there” and if they prove to be popular, then she takes credit.

    Her husband works a union job on the North Slope for BP and is a
    champion snowmobile racer.
    Todd Palin’s kind of job is highly
    sought-after because of the schedule and high pay.
    He arranges his
    work schedule so he can fish for salmon in Bristol Bay for a month or
    so in summer, but by no stretch of the imagination is fishing their
    major source of income.
    Nor has her life-style ever been anything
    like that of native Alaskans.

    Sarah and her whole family are avid hunters.

    She’s smart.

    Her experience is as mayor of a city with a population of about 5,000
    (at the time), and less than 2 years as governor of a state with about
    670,000 residents.

    During her mayoral administration most of the actual work of running
    this small city was turned over to an administrator.
    She had been
    pushed to hire this administrator by party power-brokers after she had
    gotten herself into some trouble over precipitous firings which had
    given rise to a recall campaign.

    Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as a “fiscal conservative”.
    During her 6
    years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over
    33%.
    During those same 6 years the amount of taxes collected by the
    City increased by 38%.
    This was during a period of low inflation
    (1996-2002).
    She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a
    regressive sales tax which taxed even food.
    The tax cuts that she
    promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they
    benefited residents.

    The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration
    weren’t enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed
    money was needed, too.
    She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it
    with indebtedness of over $22 million.
    What did Mayor Palin encourage
    the voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she said
    she supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? or a
    new library? No. $1m for a park.
    $15m-plus for construction of a
    multi-use sports complex which she rushed through to build on a piece
    of property that the City didn’t even have clear title to, that was
    still in litigation 7 yrs later–to the delight of the lawyers
    involved! The sports complex itself is a nice addition to the
    community but a huge money pit, not the profit-generator she claimed it
    would be. She also supported bonds for $5.
    5m for road projects that
    could have been done in 5-7 yrs without any borrowing.

    While Mayor, City Hall was extensively remodeled and her office
    redecorated more than once.

    These are small numbers, but Wasilla is a very small city.

    As an oil producer, the high price of oil has created a budget surplus
    in Alaska.
    Rather than invest this surplus in technology that will
    make us energy independent and increase efficiency, as Governor she
    proposed distribution of this surplus to every individual in the state.

    In this time of record state revenues and budget surpluses, she
    recommended that the state borrow/bond for road projects, even while
    she proposed distribution of surplus state revenues: spend today’s
    surplus, borrow for needs.

    She’s not very tolerant of divergent opinions or open to outside ideas
    or compromise.
    As Mayor, she fought ideas that weren’t generated by
    her or her staff.
    Ideas weren’t evaluated on their merits, but on the
    basis of who proposed them.

    While Sarah was Mayor of Wasilla she tried to fire our highly respected
    City Librarian because the Librarian refused to consider removing from
    the library some books that Sarah wanted removed.
    City residents
    rallied to the defense of the City Librarian and against Palin’s
    attempt at out-and-out censorship, so Palin backed down and withdrew
    her termination letter.
    People who fought her attempt to oust the
    Librarian are on her enemies list to this day.

    Sarah complained about the “old boy’s club” when she first ran for
    Mayor, so what did she bring Wasilla? A new set of “old boys”.
    Palin
    fired most of the experienced staff she inherited.
    At the City and as
    Governor she hired or elevated new, inexperienced, obscure people,
    creating a staff totally dependent on her for their jobs and eternally
    grateful and fiercely loyal–loyal to the point of abusing their power
    to further her personal agenda, as she has acknowledged happened in the
    case of pressuring the State’s top cop (see below).

    As Mayor, Sarah fired Wasilla’s Police Chief because he “intimidated”
    her, she told the press.
    As Governor, her recent firing of Alaska’s top
    cop has the ring of familiarity about it.
    He served at her pleasure
    and she had every legal right to fire him, but it’s pretty clear that
    an important factor in her decision to fire him was because he wouldn’t
    fire her sister’s ex-husband, a State Trooper.
    Under investigation
    for abuse of power, she has had to admit that more than 2 dozen
    contacts were made between her staff and family to the person that she
    later fired, pressuring him to fire her ex-brother-in-law.
    She tried to
    replace the man she fired with a man who she knew had been reprimanded
    for sexual harassment; when this caused a public furor, she withdrew
    her support.

    She has bitten the hand of every person who extended theirs to her in
    help.
    The City Council person who personally escorted her around town
    introducing her to voters when she first ran for Wasilla City Council
    became one of her first targets when she was later elected Mayor.
    She
    abruptly fired her loyal City Administrator; even people who didn’t
    like the guy were stunned by this ruthlessness.

    Fear of retribution has kept all of these people from saying anything
    publicly about her.

    When then-Governor Murkowski was handing out political plums, Sarah got
    the best, Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission: one
    of the few jobs not in Juneau and one of the best paid.
    She had no
    background in oil & gas issues.
    Within months of scoring this great
    job which paid $122,400/yr, she was complaining in the press about the
    high salary.
    I was told that she hated that job: the commute, the
    structured hours, the work.
    Sarah became aware that a member of this
    Commission (who was also the State Chair of the Republican Party)
    engaged in unethical behavior on the job.
    In a gutsy move which some
    undoubtedly cautioned her could be political suicide, Sarah solved all
    her problems in one fell swoop: got out of the job she hated and
    garnered gobs of media attention as the patron saint of ethics and as a
    gutsy fighter against the “old boys’ club” when she dramatically quit,
    exposing this man’s ethics violations (for which he was fined).

    As Mayor, she had her hand stuck out as far as anyone for pork from
    Senator Ted Stevens.
    Lately, she has castigated his pork-barrel
    politics and publicly humiliated him.
    She only opposed the “bridge to
    nowhere” after it became clear that it would be unwise not to.

    As Governor, she gave the Legislature no direction and budget
    guidelines, then made a big grandstand display of line-item vetoing
    projects, calling them pork.
    Public outcry and further legislative
    action restored most of these projects–which had been vetoed simply
    because she was not aware of their importance–but with the unobservant
    she had gained a reputation as “anti-pork”.

    She is solidly Republican: no political maverick.
    The State party
    leaders hate her because she has bit them in the back and humiliated
    them.
    Other members of the party object to her self-description as a
    fiscal conservative.

    Around Wasilla there are people who went to high school with Sarah.

    They call her “Sarah Barracuda” because of her unbridled ambition and
    predatory ruthlessness.
    Before she became so powerful, very ugly
    stories circulated around town about shenanigans she pulled to be made
    point guard on the high school basketball team.
    When Sarah’s
    mother-in-law, a highly respected member of the community and
    experienced manager, ran for Mayor, Sarah refused to endorse her.

    As Governor, she stepped outside of the box and put together of package of legislation known as “AGIA” that forced the oil companies to march
    to the beat of her drum.

    Like most Alaskans, she favors drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife
    Refuge.
    She has questioned if the loss of sea ice is linked to
    global warming.
    She campaigned “as a private citizen” against a state
    initiaitive that would have either a) protected salmon streams from
    pollution from mines, or b) tied up in the courts all mining in the
    state (depending on who you listen to).
    She has pushed the State’s
    lawsuit against the Dept.
    of the Interior’s decision to list polar
    bears as threatened species.

    McCain is the oldest person to ever run for President; Sarah will be a
    heartbeat away from being President.

    There has to be literally millions of Americans who are more
    knowledgeable and experienced than she.

    However, there’s a lot of people who have underestimated her and are
    regretting it.

    CLAIM VS FACT
    •“Hockey mom”: true for a few years
    •“PTA mom”: true years ago when her first-born was in elementary
    school, not since
    •“NRA supporter”: absolutely true
    •social conservative: mixed.
    Opposes gay marriage, BUT vetoed a bill
    that would have denied benefits to employees in same-sex relationships
    (said she did this because it was unconsitutional).

    •pro-creationism: mixed.
    Supports it, BUT did nothing as Governor to
    promote it.

    •“Pro-life”: mixed.
    Knowingly gave birth to a Down’s syndrome baby
    BUT declined to call a special legislative session on some pro-life
    legislation
    •“Experienced”: Some high schools have more students than Wasilla has
    residents. Many cities have more residents than the state of Alaska.

    No legislative experience other than City Council.
    Little hands-on
    supervisory or managerial experience; needed help of a city
    administrator to run town of about 5,000.

    •political maverick: not at all
    •gutsy: absolutely!
    •open & transparent: ??? Good at keeping secrets.
    Not good at
    explaining actions.

    •has a developed philosophy of public policy: no
    •”a Greenie”: no.
    Turned Wasilla into a wasteland of big box stores
    and disconnected parking lots. Is pro-drilling off-shore and in ANWR.

    •fiscal conservative: not by my definition!
    •pro-infrastructure: No.
    Promoted a sports complex and park in a city
    without a sewage treatment plant or storm drainage system.
    Built
    streets to early 20th century standards.

    •pro-tax relief: Lowered taxes for businesses, increased tax burden on
    residents
    •pro-small government: No.
    Oversaw greatest expansion of city
    government in Wasilla’s history.

    •pro-labor/pro-union. No.
    Just because her husband works union
    doesn’t make her pro-labor.
    I have seen nothing to support any claim
    that she is pro-labor/pro-union.

    WHY AM I WRITING THIS?

    First, I have long believed in the importance of being an informed
    voter. I am a voter registrar.
    For 10 years I put on student voting
    programs in the schools.
    If you google my name (Anne Kilkenny +
    Alaska), you will find references to my participation in local
    government, education, and PTA/parent organizations.

    Secondly, I’ve always operated in the belief that “Bad things happen
    when good people stay silent”.
    Few people know as much as I do because
    few have gone to as many City Council meetings.

    Third, I am just a housewife.
    I don’t have a job she can bump me out
    of. I don’t belong to any organization that she can hurt.
    But, I am no
    fool; she is immensely popular here, and it is likely that this will
    cost me somehow in the future: that’s life.

    lol i didn’t mean to ‘piss’ you off. did you bother reading it? it isn’t spam, as i am not selling or directing you to some other site for my own personal gain. what i posted is valid, relevant information to the discussion at hand. hey, but i respect your choice in disregarding it, i am a liberal. i wouldn’t take that right away from you for anything in this world, however your incumbents & your misguided vote, would. now excuse me, while i go ‘piss off’. lol. classy!

  • Brian Fellows

    F.O. Becuase this liberal democratic voter is supporting McCain/Palin!! No matter what you try to do to hurt the ticket. They’re the American ticket and Obama cannot even speak without telepromter service. They man is a disgrace. And dingbat democrats who supported him over Clinton should be ashamed of themselves for picking such a loser before vetting the imbacile…

    Now let me tell you how I really feel about the DNC’s selection of O pie hole.

  • Brian Fellows

    yes – Obama has run his campaign into the dirt. Now he’ll claim he didn’t do it Axelrod and the black caucus did! He is an innocent bystander who showed up when Teddy and John Kerry told him too. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

    From reading your comment, I see you haven’t mastered your shift key, so I’m guessing you’ll need step by step instructions on how to piss off.

    Thanks for posting that debunked nonsense and proving you are an idiot, a moron, and a liar.

    Are all Obamabots as stupid as you? Wait for it….

    YES!

  • bmc

    Thanks Soldier4Hillary. Brilliant, as always. I appreciate so much hearing your views, since I’m a veteran from a military family.

  • http://lnab.newsvine.com/ Linda

    BEAUTIFUL! You have really articulated what many of us feel!

    I could care less that Obama is black… I care that he’s pandering, flip-flopping, narcissistic, inexperienced and in the pocket of powerful hidden interests that DON’T have the best interests of Americans at heart!

    and I’m quite disturbed about the kind of swiftboating lefties his campaign has attracted. I have no intention of becoming the “evil” I have been working to defeat for 20 years in order to install that vacuous empty suit in the WH!

    YOU GO GIRL!

  • McKatmoon

    Great words Patsy. I brought the same fact up(aon a string a couple days ago) regarding: soldiers deploying who have children and the double standard. There is no end to simply trying to slip by on rhetoric with the O campaign, with not an ounce of substance. Keep up the good work.
    Thanks

    Anne Kilkenny

    I wish Greta had a chance to ask all the people of Wasilla what they thought of Anne Kilkenny. I have met women like Anne before. There is always one in every little town who goes to council meetings and makes a damn fool of herself. The people in the town usually roll their eyes everytime she starts to spout off. She probably writes long, long letters to the editor informing the public of all the ills and gossip about the town officials. Anne thinks she is really astute and knows everything but is really rather dumb and not really informed. Anne made several points that have already been dispelled as lies. Apparently, she thinks they are true and will continue to gossip truth or lies whichever because she really doesn’t care about her town or its people. I have a feeling she doesn’t have many friends either. I imagine she is kind of a sad person, a person to pity. I bet if we asked Sarah about her, we would probably get an affirmation like “bless her heart.”

    Don’t we all know a person like
    Anne Kilkenny

    Fantastic video. Those double standards are disgusting, and I haven’t heard anyone but you mention them.

    Like your radio show too. Thx :-)

  • Prem

    Thank you, Patsy, for yet another inspiring and passionate video. Whenever I see that you have posted one, I can hardly wait to hear what you have so truthfully expressed. Your comments are always right on!

    I like the “soldier4America” name you have been given from the above commenter! It fits beautifully for a beautiful person.

  • Prem

    My sisters are big supporters of BHO because he is a “Dem” and we are currently going back and forth about those double standards, but they have let me know they don’t want to hear it. They say they can’t support Palin because of her lack of experience and I say what? What about BHO’s lack of experience? Then they bring up issues about her church affiliation and I say what? What about BHO’s church (Rev. Wright) affiliation. One of my sisters sent a YouTube of the Daily Show (which I regularly watch but stopped somewhat during the primaries because he was slamming Hillary and not Obama) with Jon Stewart talking about how McCain changes his mind on every issue. And, once again, I told her not to go there because BHO has changed his mind on everything, too. Talk about double standards, hypocrisy.

    I have to admit that McCain hit a home-run by nominating Palin—anytime anyone brings up any criticism of her, you can use the same criticism of her against BHO. Too brilliant! I have also underestimated McCain in the past, but not any more.

    One other narcissistic move by BHO during this campaign season that my son pointed out: In BHO’s campaign bumper stickers/signs, his name is in a huge font, Biden’s is in a smaller font. In McCain’s campaign literature/signs/bumper stickers, both his name and Palin’s name are in the same size fonts!!! It seems symbolically that McCain supports equality more than BHO does!

    McCain/Palin – ’08
    Hillary – 2012

  • The Audacity of Hype

    Great video! I am turned off by the Democrat’s own hypocrisy and sexism too! I’m an Independent, not a Democrat, and I voted for Hillary. I was supporting McCain before Palin, but since she was picked they have demanded I come back over! Yeah, that’s not going to happen, but they can keep trying to win my vote by insulting me I guess–that seems to be what they call “courting” voters these days!
    McCain/Palin 08!!
    “Country First”

  • The Audacity of Hype

    Someone wrote something about gay/abortion rights. Yes, McCain and Palin are conservative, but Palin has given benefits to same sex couples in Alaska for constitutional reasons.As for McCain’s take on civil unions he personally doesn’t like them, but he thinks states should decide! He doesn’t like big government. Obama likes the idea of civil unions, but thinks states should decide b/c of constitutional reasons. Two different PERSONAL views, SAME SOLUTION! As for abortion McCain opposed overturning Roe v Wade in 2000 and it sunk his campaign. So, he is most likely pandering to his base(he has to if he’s gonna win)! Let’s say he has changed his mind and adopted Palin’s view of it. Well, they can only NOMINATE judges if spots open up. The Senate then must approve it with a majority vote, and the Senate as we all know is controlled by Democrats! Meaning, they can actually do something productive I guess! If they did approve a conservative judge, I don’t believe conservative judges would overturn Roe v Wade b/c it’s the most politically sensitive issue out there. If they did, it would only ban it at the federal level, meaning all 50 states would then have to vote for their state! For a woman to completely lose a choice, all 50 states would then have to ban it! Wow, that’s a lot of what-ifs that have to happen in four years! This is fear mongering, something Democrats are usually accusing Republicans of! Democrats act like abusive boyfriends to the women of their Party! They treat them like garbage, then use abortion like their empty “I’m sorry” to get them back or make them fall in line! They say we give you abortion, but your votes don’t count! Any woman who agrees with my assessment of the treatment they’ve received from the Dems who still votes for them, might need a long shower afterward to get that dirty feeling off! One more thing,if the Democrats were really afraid of what McCain would do and that he would overturn Roe v Wade then why did John Kerry and Joe Biden want to be his running mate? In 2004 John McCain was on John Kerry’s short list, just like Joe Lieberman was on McCain’s this year! John Kerry now denies that I think. John Kerry didn’t say it on film, but Joe Biden said he would be HONORED to run WITH or AGAINST John McCain and that is on film! The McCain campaign even made a political ad out of it!

    “McCain/Palin 08!!
    “Country First””

    that’s such a weird catch phrase for a candidate who is an alleged (up for debate) FORMER member of the AIP. just because palin is a woman, doesn’t mean she is for women’s rights, i’d say quite the contrary, except when it suits her own agenda.

  • kneec29

    When the democratic party does not listen to the voice of the people and they openly display a sham of a roll call they failed all Americans by slapping a true democracy in the face.

    The most important thing I have to say about the Dem. Party is that when they start messing with our constitutional right to vote and to have our vote counted, they will surely destroy the rest of our rights saying that your vote is the most important one. Without a voice our country is like any other Third World country.

    It is of utmost importance, especially in this 2008 election, to vote and make sure your vote will be counted. even though we really do not have much to choose from. Since the Dems. ran the candidate out of the race that had the best qualifications, we only can vote and pray no matter which candidate you choose.

  • kneec29

    I’m really tired of the racism and the race card being used all the time, so I have a new take on it. Since Obama is half caucasion and raised by his caucasion mother and grandparents, I am calling Obama a caucasion with dark skin. He is not black or Afro-American as he claims but a black caucasion, now let me hear the race card.
