Reuters: McCain Surge Attributable To “White Women Voters”

Hey Barack! It’s the Women, stupid!

Too late! We already know what you are.

But then, like Donna Brazile said, you don’t need us.
Remember when you made another Obama Fantasy Remark about how you were SURE you could get all the Hillary Clinton voters to vote for you? Bzzzzzzzz! Wrong!

Remember how you sent your “surrogates” out to bash Hillary left and right–and enjoyed every second of it?

Remember telling her she’s “likeable enough”?

Remember your sicko comment about her having ‘Periodic moments”? Remember Annie Oakley?

Remember when you called that reporter Sweetie? Remember when you offered a female pharmacist a kiss to wear your button? And offered to get down on your knees?

We do!

99 Problems And A Bitch Isn’t One of Them“? Oooooooooops! Guess again! Lotsa bitches are your problem now. See how Ludacris that is? Chuckle….chuckle….

Remember when your online sycophants ran us out of forums, and called us all kinds of filthy despicable names that can’t be written here without embarrassment? Remember? We do!

See how well that’s working out for you, woman-hater. But please tell them to keep it up! It’s growing our numbers! All of you are trapped in your own irony! Thanks!

We got slammed with the Race Card day and night, Barack. By your supporters, by your surrogates, and by YOU.

The S word is the new R word. Or as Tina Fey warned, Bitch is the new Black. How’s it feel? Irony, Barack. Irony.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican presidential candidate John McCain has gained huge support and now leads Democrat Barack Obama among white women voters since naming Sarah Palin as his running mate, according to a survey published on Tuesday.

The Washington Post/ABC News poll found that much of McCain’s surge in the polls since the Republican National Convention is attributable to the shift in support among white women.

How about you, Howard? How ya feeling, guy? I can’t tell you how much we appreciated your revoltingly smug silence during the figurative Sharia burning of Hillary. It spoke volumes about you, fella. If you have to go back to being a doctor in January, please do us one big favor: Don’t practice on women again. Thanks!

Yo, Donna! How ya doing, girl? How’s that plan to tell us to all go to hell coming along? You know, all those unnecessary Democrats from the base who were in your way? People over 50? Seniors? Bitter hicks with guns? White Women? How’s that working out for you now, Donna? In a sense, we should all be grateful for your mouth.

Nancy, Nancy, Nancy!

Any one of us who has spent plenty of quality time in Corporate America recognizes you.

You’re the woman who kneecaps her way to just below the top and then kicks the ladder out from under you so that you don’t have any of the Girly competition nipping at your heels while you finger your pearls. Most of us were usually waiting for women like you to stand near a corporate hole. One mistake and we all threw you in your own hole and then went out to lunch and celebrated. You are our Clarence Thomas, aren’t you, girl?

CNN’s Mr. Magoo, Bill Schneider: Remember when you kept giving us “four weeks” to move onto the next “Phase of grief”? Or how you kept saying we would all fall in line? How about your constant Magoo cracks about how there just aren’t that many of us? How ya doing? We aren’t grieving or “Sulking,” you half-assed fool. We are pissed off. And we Do. Not. Want. Barack. Obama. There’s a huge difference. Just so you know. Let me help refresh your ignorant memory. Back In early July, you, Mr. Magoo, said:

These things always take time to heal,” said Bill Schneider, CNN senior political analyst. “I think Clinton’s supporters are waiting to see if Sen. Obama will pick her as vice president. That would certainly be very healing to them.

…and then you said….

If he doesn’t pick her, a later stage of grief is depression and then acceptance,” Schneider said. “In the end I expect Clinton supporters will accept Obama, because they will listen to Sen. Clinton, who has said the stakes are too high for Democrats to sulk.”

Do yourself a favor, Mr. Magoo. Go do something else for a living. You are looking like a fool here. And as I said back then, we never wanted Hillary to be Barky’s Bridesmaid. Many of us have seen enough of the mediocre man hiring on the superior woman to make him look good while he prances around and takes credit.

If Cable News networks like yours hadn’t buried some very unsavory details about Barack Obama, his affiliations, his Plans, the caucus fraud, and the odd redistribution of delegate numbers in certain districts, the Democratic Party would have a winning ticket today.

Maybe if you and your network had reminded people that plenty of superdelegates voted against the will of their districts, we would have a winning ticket today.

Maybe if you and your network hadn’t continually tried to force Hillary Clinton to get out of a race that was none of your damned business as “reporters,” we would have a winning ticket today. I hold you responsible. Maybe next time, your network will stick to your real job of reporting instead of tying to fake out America into picking Presidents you want. MSNBC got the point recently, albeit too late. You will too.

The interesting ( and fun!) thing here is all of these Hillary bashing pigs are now crippled with the pick of Sarah Palin as John McCain’s VP. It’s all just too close to the media murder of Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and the Republicans have learned well. Let’s face it: As a party, they have always been smarter than us. They know now that these bashers all have to be careful of looking obvious. Not that they didn’t already look obvious to us women who watched things unfold. So keep it up CNN, MSNBC! We appreciate you trying to derail Sarah. We appreciate your questioning whether being a VP is “right” for a woman with kids–especially considering Barack Obama is only home on weekends and is therefore one heck of a lousy father. Imagine him sacrificing his family for his political career!!! Awful! Just awful! We appreciate your worrying about “vetting” Sarah. You should talk! Caught in your own irony, once again.

Barack! Keep in touch with your vibrating cell phone, Sweetie! We’re brushing you right off our shoulders, man!

    O PASTOR IN SEX SCANDAL

    REV. WRIGHT DONE ME WRONG: CHURCH LADY

    SAMUEL GOLDSMITH in Dallas
    and JEANE MacINTOSH in NY
    Elizabeth Payne

    September 9, 2008

    He almost wrecked Barack Obama’s presidential dreams, and now firebrand pastor Jeremiah Wright has helped destroy a Dallas church worker’s marriage – and her job, The Post has learned.

    Elizabeth Payne, 37, said she had a steamy sexual affair with the controversial, racially divisive man of the cloth while she was an executive assistant at a church headed by a popular Wright protégé.

    When word of the unholy alliance got out, Payne’s husband dumped her, and she was canned from the plum job at Friendship-West Baptist Church, she told The Post.

    “I was involved with Rev. Wright, and that’s why I lost my job and why my husband divorced me,” Payne said.

    She refused to reveal when the adulterous affair started or how she met Wright.

    But fellow churchgoers at Friendship-West “found out about the affair in the spring,” Payne said.

    At the time, she was secretary to the Rev. Frederick Haynes III, a longtime Wright disciple.

    In April, Payne organized a series of Texas public appearances by Wright, 67. Weeks before, Obama had disavowed his preacher of 20 years after Wright’s anti-government rants came to light.

    “Liz was by Rev. Wright’s side day and night during those days,” a church source said.

    “It’s all true,” said Payne, adding that she has filed a wrongful-dismissal claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to get her job back.

    In an ironic twist, Wright last night spoke at an East Orange, NJ, church revival on the subject of “unexpected problems.”

    “There’s no such thing as a problem-free relationship,” he told a packed Elmwood United Presbyterian Church. “In life, you’ll have unexpected problems.”

    He punctuated his 45-minute sermon with evocative 1960s hits, including the Supremes’ “Where Did Our Love Go,” Frankie Beverley’s “Joy and Pain,” and the Temptations’ “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg.” He’s set to speak there again tonight.

    Payne’s husband, Fred Payne, 64, said he learned of the affair in late February, when he discovered e-mails between his wife and Wright.

    “There must have been about 80 of them, back and forth,” he said. “Wright said things like he was going to leave his wife for Elizabeth.”

    Wright has been married to his second wife, Ramah, for more than 20 years.

    The preacher reportedly wooed Ramah away from her first husband in the 1980s, when the couple came to marriage counseling at Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

    After discovering he had been cuckolded, Fred Payne, who had married Elizabeth in October 2006, headed straight for divorce court.

    “I was downright mad about this bull- – - -,” said Fred, who said he is “in the oil and gas business,” belongs to a hunting club and makes his own bullets in his garage.

    “People wouldn’t be happy to know that my wife was sleeping with a black man.”

    He added, “Rev. Haynes doesn’t like the interracial thing, either. This was quite an issue for him.”

    Elizabeth Payne said she has been banished by Haynes and the flock at Friendship-West.

    “I’m not a member of the congregation anymore; I’m not even allowed on the premises,” she said.

    Wright became an embarrassment for Obama after videos of the preacher’s old sermons emerged.

    In them, Wright blamed the United States for the 9/11 attacks and boomed, “God damn America!”

    I don’t trust Barky one bit. The Dems had a winner, but chose to knock her down and drag her around by her hair. Good one morons!!

  • bemused

    Good work, Uppity. I think Uppity means willing to challenge suppression, not arrogant. You own that word now.

  • educatedwhitewoman

    Bravo, Uppity. Today, when asked about the huge swing of white women voters to the McCain camp, Barky hemmed and hawed and basically changed the subject. He’s afraid of strong white women, us “typical white women.” How much of this misogyny stems from mother abandonment issues and his black power, angry wife would take a lifetime to sort out.

    Contrast that to John McCain, who actually appears to enjoy sharing the limelight with a woman, and who is married to a happy woman who is secure in her own identity, secure enough to adopt a non-white child.

    Donna Brazille just can’t help herself. Over the weekend she said [apparently on CNN, a network I no longer watch] that:

    “Jesus was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor.”

    Hello? Losing, desperate comment. And remember all the howling condemnation when Carville made the Judas remark?

    But please keep it coming. With every stupid attack, the polls climb–for McCain and Palin.

    Amazing!

    We got in line with her program and left. Oops, wrong line for the Dem. Party.

    I’m glad the polls are shifting in Mccain’s favor. I think the polls that will really matter though are the ones that come out after the Presidential debate late in the month.

    It’s likely barky will continue his nonsensical uhh.. uummm…aahhhhh….uuuuhhhhh as answers and if so, he’s in trouble.

  • cdo

    the stakes are too high for Democrats to sulk.

    I swear, if I hear this one more time, I may pull my hair out. Or someone else’s.
    This type of thinking is exactly why the DNC needs to be burnt to the ground, and then the ground salted so this bullshit won’t grow back.
    They really wish to remain ignorant about why so many people are so pissed off. I have never heard of anyone from the DNC ranks acknowledge that democrats like me might have a legitimate reason for being outraged and disgusted at the antics of our own party.
    Their head-in-the-sand attitude will cost them the election.

  • William L. Donlon

    Prediction:

    Joe Biden will have to leave the ticket because of an undisclosed illness.

    Hillary will be asked to take over to rescue the one.

    Fact:

    There is less “spare Change” available in the Fall Than any other time of the year.

    Why??

    Tuitions and other back to school costs, Property taxes are due in Sept., Money spent on Summer Vacations always more than expected.

    “The One” is finding it harder to raise money in the Fall than he did Last Winter, Summer and Spring.

    DUH!

    $87,000,000 Gov. check was just received by McCain.

    Hillary wouldn’t have made that mistake.

    When Hillary takes over I’ll bet she will put a slightly used Greek Temple up on E-Bay.

    They were complaining on MSNBO about Sarah Palin shopping at Walmart today! OMG! Walmart is the dirtiest word to those lefties! Guess what Obamatards?

    I enjoyed No Quarter very much during the primaries and during the conventions. It was a pro-Hillary blog. Now its become a McCain/Palin blog. I love Hillary and voting for Obama is taking a huge leap of faith.. but do I want 4 more years of Bush? Do I think Palin is a good choice just because she has a vagina? No! Palin is as bad as Bush when it comes to talking to God. McCain has moved from the center in 2000 to the far right now. Larry Johnson posted that he had not decided how he was going to vote. I thought that meant that NoQuarter would at the very least be somewhat balanced or at least keep posting things for Hillary Lovers. But this may as well be run by the RNC now. If McCain/Palin wins, America is screwed.

  • moi61537

    That’s a sad story. My son is a Lutheran pastor and Rev.Wright has been a leader in prophetic preaching and well regarded. However,he clearly has some issues with boundaries. The sad part is his victimizing a family. Ugh.

  • Yo

    I still don’t think Obama will drop Biden from the ticket because he is too proud and arrogant to ever admit he needs a woman to rescue him.

    Not only that I heard a talk radio show that said if he did drop Biden he would look VERY weak and show a lack of judgment because whatever excuse he comes up with won’t fly.

    He’s stuck with Biden and it didn’t help him to pick him as the VP period.

    He did not have the foresight to pick a woman be his VP because I really don’t think he considers women intelligent EXCEPT for his angry Michelle.

  • http://obamafact.blogspot.com/ Mel

    Someone forgot to remind Brazile that Al Capne was a community organizer in Chicago as well, and Elliot Ness was the Gov of the US Untouchables!

    More fitting in line when talking about Obama as a community organizer!

    I was a really, truly hard working Latina Democrat. I turned out at rallies, I put up yard signs all over my precinct, I gave money, I made phone calls, I am a super-voter who never fails..but Donna B. said she didn’t need me. Obama said Hillary was “likeable enough.”–that’s it. Biden dropped out after Iowa. Hillary soldiered on to the end. Obama picked Biden.No respect for women.
    So, I’m gone.

    Can you imagine the questions that will be raised about switching Biden out at this point? It will completely drown out any hope of Obama getting any messages out at all. Does Obama want that?

    I think Hillary knows what she’s doing. She’s going to keep Obama at arms-length, or maybe more.

  • peep

    We’ll of course; it started with JJ JR and Senator Clinton not boo hooing for Katrina or the black community in my view the first knife in her back by a Dem, BUT add at the DNC this demographic representation is anemic when almost 40 percent of the base fall into this category. Also any attack on Plain is IMO viewed as a lie false trumped up and when Obama plays victim he just looks weak now the girly girl beating his behind no more victim now cry baby. Senator Clinton recall was the Rich White Btch those HATING on Obama beating the black man down she fit the code of white power oppressor supposedly and miraculously. But Governor Plain is not rich, nor traditional, nor part of the white power establishment that Rev Wright tagged with his communities lack of prosperity. McCain’s selection of Palin was brilliant, I am a political novice and I knew if the DNC screwed Hillary Palin would be on the ticket fresh shining and unblooded and Women and Independents would move to her so, DUH common sense.

    Me thinks its over for Obama Biden and it should be.

    Do I think Palin is a good choice just because she has a vagina? No!

    How s it going being a sexist today?

    If people said “Do I think Obama is a good choice just because he is Black? No! Would be smeared with racist all over them!

    Fact is Obama is the least qualified person ever to be POTUS and with his friends, Wright, Ayers, Dohrn, Khalid, Rezko, Axelrod and the Chicago Combine, he is also the most dangerous.

    So your fear mongering is useless and if you were a true Hillary supporter, you wouldn’t even question anyone who is against Obama, since Hillary said to vote with your heart and MIND, but you have to have a working mind to do that, sorry for you troll!

    I go right back to the DNC and there choosing of Obama over Hillary, the super delegates and delegates, thought that Obama was so fashionable and special, now the Republicans have the first female V.P candidate. I watch his race and try to take everything in and it seems the Republicans have the smarter machine.If McCaIn wins, Palin will run in 2012 and aganist Hillary all thanks to DNC.

  • Karma

    How does the ‘all of the upbove’ McCain/Palin approach to energy give you blackouts?

    If anything your link represents Obama’s energy policy. He doesn’t believe in nuclear, he wants to limit coal, and Canada’s dirty energy from being utilized. He did give Palin’s natural gas pipeline props in his own energy policy…but nevermind that now…huh?

  • Obama’s gums look sick

    Online synchophants – what a great, concise term to call those who also turned me off totally from the Obama campaign.

    It raises the question whether Obama himself should be held responsible for their peculiar brand of vicious hatred and savaging of Clinton and anyone who supported her. And who are now at work on Sarah Palin with the same type of online abuse.

    The question is moot because whether or not Obama has responsibility for them, they did/do exist. And if people like this support Obama, Obama is not a person I could ever support when people like this are part of his base.

    Obama supporter online synchophants coat-tailed Obama because they felt he was the best person to bitch-slap women. They acted on their dreams and allowed him to steal this nomination. Women of all political stripes are waking up to the peril within the Obama campaign and they will not also steal this election.

    However the problem remains: young angry men who hate women. Normalizing the public role for women by electing Palin is one step of the cure.

    End of discussion.
    McCain-Palin 2008/2012.

    I am happy to hear that men love Palin too. I don’t care why either as long as they vote for her. I think men are beginning to like strong women. Their mothers most likely raised them by themselves and they are used to strong women. It’s about time.

    McCain’s policies doesn’t include conservation. As Senator Obama said, we can’t just eat whatever we want, drive whatever SUVs we want, and keep out homes at 72 degrees and have the rest of the world say OK… Without conservation, McCain’s “do-everything” will only end up with us consuming our resources sooner.

  • Obama’s gums look sick

    I never liked Hillary Clinton until I saw how she worked her butt of in this campaign & how Obama & his thugs trashed her. I would have been happy with her or McCain as president. Now that she’s out of the race, I’m scared to death Obama could end up in the white house. Between Hillary & McCain, it was just the difference in issues but with Obama it’s about are we going to be safe. I hope the women who are angry with Obama will not back peddle like Geraldine Ferrare.

  • pasmalltowngirl

    Yes, It is not just White women who will NOT vote for Obama. It is not just White women who are disgusted with the blatant sexist attacks from Obama, the DNC and the MSM. It is women of every color. It is not just women, it is also men who witnessed the attacks against Hillary and her supporters. It is not only the old but the young voters who were appalled at this kind of behavior. The entire world saw what they did, what they continue to do.

    I have the answer to the question that many many in the MSM have asked and are unable to get an answer for…..”What has Barack Obama accomplished in his political career”..1) He has managed to get millions of our hard earned money and give it to anti- American terrorist people like Rezco, Wright, Ayers, etc. 2) he has managed in a few short months to undo all the progress and divide this country on race and sex.

    Considering all of his associates, his money trail, I believe that he was hand picketed for this election, to bring America down. I believe that he has accomplished what he was set out to do, I believe that was the whole purpose of this insanity.

    My sister wrote me recently that if I didn’t vote for Obama, I would be putting Roe v. Wade and Women’s Equality at risk. I told her that if she really cared about those issues, she would have voted for CLINTON because SHE is the one who has fought for choice for years, going so far as to hold up a nomination until she got the Morning After Pill legislation. That she has been fighting for women and children her entire adult life, and has fought HARD for women’s equality (Ledbetter Act now). So, if she REALLY cared about these things, Hillary was the one. Oh, and this came after she had sent me a fwd from the Human Rights Campaign, which, for reasons I cannot FATHOM, endorsed Obama. I sent her back a YouTube video of Joe Salmonese introducing Hillary Clinton, singing her praises for FIVE minutes. Here’s the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSPxGmePSiA

    My sister finished it off with urging me to consider WWHD? Well, Hillary is an elected Dem. official, so she pretty much has to toe the party line. She is NOT my lord and master, nor do I have to obey her. What my sister DIDN’T know is that WWU(ppity)D that counts!!! ;-)

    The story would be even better if it weren’t trying to rewrite the past to better suit/serve Obama.

    From the article:
    In April, Payne organized a series of Texas public appearances by Wright, 67. Weeks before, Obama had disavowed his preacher of 20 years after Wright’s anti-government rants came to light.

    I’m sorry but as I recall, Obama didn’t disavow Wright until Wright made that very disparaging remark about Obama’s being just a politician. We have to remember that Obama (in his oh-so-famous race speech that was given because of the initial controversy of Wright’s rants) swore that he could never disown Wright any more than he could his own (apparently racist) grandmother. Obama defended Wright and rationalized Wright’s comments.
    But when Wright indicated he wasn’t upset with Obama because that was what politicians do, THAT was when Wright went over the line and had to be thrown under the bus. In fact, a transcript of Obama’s reaction to Wright’s appearance at the National Press Club can be found at http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/04/29/transcript-obama-press-conference-on-jeremiah-wright/ .
    Here’s the most damning part:
    QUESTION: What’s going to happen with these distractions that have taken you…?

    OBAMA: Well, I want to use this press conference to make people absolutely clear that, obviously, whatever relationship I had with Reverend Wright has changed, as a consequence of this.

    I don’t think that he showed much concern for me. More importantly, I don’t think he showed much concern for what we are trying to do in this campaign and what we’re trying to do for the American people and with the American people.

    And, obviously, he’s free to speak out on issues that are of concern to him, and he can do it in any ways that he wants. But I feel very strongly that I want to make absolutely clear that I do not subscribe to the views that he expressed. I believe they are wrong. I think they are destructive. And to the extent that he continues to speak out, I do not expect those views to be attributed to me.

    This happened on APRIL 29. I find it a bit hard to believe the timeline offered in the article. Obama did NOT disavow Wright until April 29–he had merely distanced himself from Wright’s comments before April.

    ["I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy, because there's joy to it as well, the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability, who were born with a birth defect," Biden said at a rally in Columbia, Missouri. "Well, guess what folks? If you care about it, why don't you support stem cell research?"

    Gov. Palin's infant son Trig has Down Syndrome. GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain supports stem-cell research, but his running mate reportedly Palin does not.

    The McCain/Palin campaign immediately ripped into Biden's remarks.]

    White women and older voters recognize that Dean is leading a political takeover of the far left. A takeover that will leave the working class without a voice. Moreover, they try to pretend that any woman who isn’t a single issue voter (reproductive rights) is crazy.

  • Obama’s gums look sick

    Each element failed the Dem Party:

    1. Caucuses were not representative and were too easy to hihg-jack but carried far too many votes of equal value to votes earned in direct primary races.

    2. Proportional voting leads to permanent divisiveness too late in the process. Stealing the roll-call for votes honestly apportioned and breaking the party’s own rules was destructive and left the party in shambles. Demanding one party drop out and discard these proportional votes was undemocratic. No good was gained by having proportional voting and the punishing the opponent candidate.

    3. Super delegates failed in their mission totally and substantively. None should have declared prior to the convention. None should have accepted any money from either candidate.

    None were capable of voting one way or the other in public when they were required to do so and wanted one candidate to “drop out” so they would not have to act on their supposed independent and unearned voting power.

    Superdelegates did not save the party from this ideological fringe trainwreck called the Obama campaign.

    Biden: Palin Would Be ‘Backward Step for Women’
    @ 1:08 pm by Andy Barr
    Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) says that if Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) becomes the first female vice president it will be a “backward step for women.”

    Asked by a local television reporter in Milwaukee, Wisconsin if electing Palin would be a step forward for women, Biden said, “well look, I think the issue is what does Sarah Palin think? What does she believe?”

    “I assume she thinks and agrees with the same policies that George Bush and John McCain think,” Biden added. “And that’s obviously a backward step for women.”

While I am not religious I much rather have some one in office who preaches good then someone in office who aligns themselves with bad. And do not compare her religion to Bush.

    Along with the news that McCain and Palin scored a monster bump out of the convention, the Obama supporters have stepped up the avalanche of shit they are furiously trying to pile on Sarah Palin. Big problem, however. Not for Palin, but for the Obamabots. The more manure they spread over Palin the faster and stronger she grows. My story Sunday highlighting the idiotic analysis of one Deepak Chopra, who attacks Palin and her supporters on Huffington Post as being nothing more than intolerant, ignorant bigots, is apparently not an isolated phenomena. Did you catch Erica Jong last week at the Huffington Post:
    Not that I think Sarah Palin will make it to VP. But given the repugnicans’ habit of caging votes, it’s certainly one horrid possibility.
    White trash America certainly has allure for voters. Some people think rednecks are more American than Harvard educated intellectuals of mixed race. God help us in the next election. The NRA and the oil industry sure won’t.
    Yep, that’s how you win the hearts and minds of middle America. Remind them they are nothing but trailer trash and that you are morally and intellectually superior. That’s a winning formula if I ever saw one.
    But wait, there’s more. Murphy Brown anyone?
    Go here to enjoy the musings of Hollywood celebrities making fun of Palin and criticizing her lifestyle and choices. Listening to the likes of Omarosa, Candace Bergen, Annette Benning and other starlets pitch a bitch fit over Palin is the ultimate illustration of people with a completely undeveloped sense of irony. Hollywood pushes and celebrates a movie like Juno, which tells the story of a pregnant teenage girl with supportive parents, and these goddamn divas want to moralize and condemn Sara Palin? No wonder Obama and Biden are screwed–their supporters demonstrate a humorless intolerance that previously was only associated with the likes of Jerry Falwell. And like Falwell, who is dead and buried, the Obama elites are emitting an aroma that smells a lot like rotting brains.
    Unfortunately for Obama and Biden, the key issues are not going their way and Obama is already accelerating his mad dash for the center. On Iraq, advantage McCain and Palin. Did you hear Barky on Bill O’Reilly the other night admit that the surge has worked beyond anyone’s expectation? So, if it is working why are you now hell bent on getting out. Nice job Barack. Can you get another foot in your mouth.
    How about tackling the economy? McCain wants the tax cuts to stay in place. Barack was arguing on raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Note I write “WAS.” Seems that over the weekend Obama concedes that new taxes might have to be postponed in order to get out of the recession. Got that kids? Barky the aspiring floppity spinner is drawing nearer to John McCain’s position.
    Change and reform anyone? McCain can point to McCain/Feingold, a major piece of legislation praised by Democrats and despised by Republicans. McCain can point to lobbyist reform and Barack Obama’s failure to follow thru on his promise to John McCain. Sarah Palin? She took on the Republican elite in her state and took down the Oil Companies to boot. So what change and reform can Barack and Biden point to? The only thing Barack has changed appears to be his mind on a whole host of policy priorities.
    Did I mention drilling for oil and nuclear power? More Americans are with McCain and Palin on this one as well.
    Got my point? On most major issues the advantage is now with McCain/Palin, not Obama/Biden. I think Obama and Biden have a clear advantage on the issue of health care but it is not clear that most Americans see this as THE deciding issue.
    Obama and Biden’s only path for success lies in fighting McCain and Palin on the issues. Problem is the issues are now moving away from the Democrats.
    One thing, though, is certain. Continued personal attacks on Sarah Palin that do not clearly reflect on her honesty and competence in making decisions will only win her and McCain more support. Hell, Andrew Sullivan is speculating that Sarah Palin may have had an affair.
    Let’s assume the worst. Let’s assume she did. Well, if she did, so what? If Sarah and her husband have dealt with the matter and forgiven each other than most Americans will do what they did in the case of Bill and Hillary Clinton–it is no ones damn business and does not need to be in the public arena. That some Democrats want to try to go down this road bespeaks that they have become the very thing they railed against when these kind of attacks were levied on Bill and Hillary. And you remember how those attacks “hurt” Bill’s popularity, even after he was caught lying under oath? Oh, that’s right, impeachment failed and he left office with more than a 60% favorability rating.
    I think the radical left is beyond reason and hope. They will continue to launch wild, unsubstantiated attacks on Palin and in the process build more support for her. For example, I work regularly with military folks, retired and active duty, who were luke warm at best three weeks ago on John McCain. They are now in full battle mode. They are energized and enthusiastic about McCain. Why? Two words–Sarah Palin.
    Obama and Biden must find a way to attack McCain and Palin on the issues, otherwise they are dead. If they fall for the trap of going after Palin personally they may make George McGovern look like a strong candidate.

I’ve told many people who tried to placate me with “well, how would you feel if she was offered the VP slot?” Let me just say, it’s not been (for me) about Hillary in a long, long time.

    Its like a see saw to keep one side against the other and the drama going.

    I forsee a world where people turn off their tv’s for one week and make the networks go bankrupt.

    That would be real change.

  • Darryl

    Well, I think one of the mistakes that the DNC made was that they misunderstood the popularity of Obama. Obama was popular in a contest between Democrats. It said nothing of his popularity nationally or on a state by state basis with repulicans. The mistake is made, that they believed increase voter turn out would be higher than the ruplicans. They had no basis to believe that. They simply assumed it because, low and behold, Obama was black.

    In a democratic primary, sure, the fact that he was black may have helped, but nationally the opposite is true. For as many people whom show up to vote for Obama cause he is black, that many will show up to vote against him because he is Black.

    Hillary was the only one whom would have transcended republican/democratic lines to inspire true voter turn out.

    When looking back on this election, the analysis will be this: A short-sided DNC ended up being the reason for the failure.

  • Geoff

    I don’t see how this comment is defensible. I hope the MSM runs with it some.

If thats what you mean, well then thats not geting over it, that getting with it–Obama that is. So which is it, do you want us to “get over it” or “get with Obama”? If its the latter, you can go talk to someone else, because its not going to happen.

    So I’d like to send a big shout out to all like-minded women and men that don’t fall into the narrow identity our detractors have tried to give us.

    On another front related to the Surge..

    Moqtada al Sadr, a well known international community organizer, recently interviewed Barky alCaboma about the Chicago Surge.

    Sadr: “In Chicago perhaps the best known Community Organizer was Al Capone, back when Elliot Ness was the Governor of the Untuchables. Today I am visiting with the latest in a long distinguished line of organizers – a young man who followed St. Ayers, who studied the works Solomon Alinksi, Barky “the O” alCabama.”

    “Mr. alCabama – may I call you O? An estimated 123 people were shot and killed over the summer in Chicago. That’s nearly double the number of soldiers killed in Iraq over the same time period.”

    “So how about it O? Will you call for a police surge to protect the lives of Illinois citizens?”

    alCobama: “Adding police will only make it worse. We need to accept we’ve lost, it’s an internal civil war. We need to start pulling the police out.”

    Sadr: “Thank you for sharing your great vision and judgement. Next: When will Obama pull the police out of harms way? What’s his timetable for withdrawal? ”

    A friend emailed me Steinem’s article this am and thank goodness I have been doing extensive reading about Palin’s history. I was able to rebut just about everything Steinem said about her. I’m quite sure the truthful side has never been looked into by this friend and perhaps she had her eyes opened a little.
    Thanks Uppity. This is a great piece and it is only the beginning of Obama’s downfall. You can be sure the Republicans have lots of stuff to dish on Obama.
    I’ve finally accepted the fact that the Democrats just don’t have enough discipline or intelligence to run a successful Presidential campaign. They remind me a little of Elmer Fudd!

    The only disappointing part of this is what happens if McCain/Palin opens up such a large lead in the polls that there is no need to bring out the October surprises?

    Emmm, come down to Hyde Park and take a look at Obama’s home and car. I believe in practice what you preach, baby.

    Not just that but did he really need to rent an additional venue and paint those environmetally unfriendly styrofoam columns? for the price of $6M? Conservation?

    That money could have been well spent for Katrina damages, or the Chicago Public School system, or any number of charities for the poor. It would have even given him a boost for this campaign.

    Compare that to the Rep. convention. No frilss, no extra center for the nominee, no Greek colums, but a great use of technology to get donations for various charities related to the hurricane areas.

    One of my former Obama supporter friends told me that that very ostentatiousness turned her off. One guy at the convention told her that if Obama asked for donations it would mean less money for his campaign for the GE because those who would donate it for a cause would not have it to donate to him.

    McCain does believe in conservation. He has been at odds with his party over his “green” stance for years, and I don’t think he’s going to back down anytime soon.

    Exactly what I’ve been saying. How does the Democratic party represent the “working class” when people are having a hard time paying bills, buying food, putting gas in their car and they go out and spend $6M on the stupid Obama concert at the Convention? How does that look to the American people? Didn’t they think of this beforehand like somebody didn’t say “Um guys, this is probably pretty tasteless considering the state of things right now” No, of course not. It was more important for Obama to get his ego boosted than help out the rest of us.

    Thank you just the same, though. LOL.

    I read an article about Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews getting dumped by MSNBC, and how “liberal bloggers are reacting with indignation, saying they’re caving to RIGHT WING PRESSURE.”

    Then Howard Kurtzman went on to quote and link Jeralynn and Taylor Marsh. The Obama campaign is aware there’s a big problem.

    It seems no body believed Sarah Palin burned books, ate an Eskimo in part of a bizarre Pentecostal sabbath or is like a dominatrix or an Islamic terrorist. So, now the attacks are “she’s not a maverick” and “she’s not from a small town” and “she was for the Bridge To Nowhere before she was against it.” That last line loosely borrowed from John Kerry didn’t help him beat Bush in 2004, and I doubt it will help Obama now. But it looks like his campaign has matured to high school taunts now.

    Once upon a time the DNC was the party of the common man. The progressive party striving for fairness in everyday life.

    At some point along the road they became the “not like them” party and then they completely lost their way.

    It pains my dad he voted for JFK and had all the hope in the world. He is the son of a teacher and a miner. Good working class folks.

  • Hope Floats

    The women on the left have a very sad take on how women fit into this world and how to get ahead. But really, most of these liberal feminists come from a priveleged background, marry well and don’t have any appreciation of what a self-made woman goes through to establish herself. They’re religious bigots, too. Throughout the Bush administration, the evangelicals were portrayed as backwoods snakehandlers praying for the Rapture, and Catholics were all in on the boy-fucking and gay-bashing, and now this woman is being branded with all kinds of stereotypes. I fell like I’m watching the birth of fascism. The attacks against a people and their culture – Christians, Jews and Muslims – is a little frightening. Because whether Obama is Muslim or not is of little or no concern to me. He probably was and hid it from the public and dropped the ball on that one. But the church he attended for 20 years wasn’t Christian, and he isn’t one and never was. He’s a marxist, humanist, egotist.

  • Monet

    I’m a white, independent, democratic leaning woman who decided after researching, to vote for Senator McCain. However, his addition of Governor Palin to his ticket has given me pause, which I haven’t kept to myself. However, regardless of my issues with Governor Palin, I have decided to roll the dice on Senator McCain and risk having Governor Palin finish out his term. That’s preferable to four years of Senator Obama in the Oval Office.

    I wonder who are the women flocking to McCain? Are they conservative Republican women who have decided to embrace his ticket now that Governor Palin is on it? Or are they Democrat women and if we discover Governor Palin tends to fall closer to extreme conservativeness than moderately conservative, will they take their support elsewhere?

    Or, which concerns me more, have we developed a subset within our voting demographic groups that chooses the best rock star to vote for? Any demographic – under age 25, over age 64, Hispanic men, white women, Wal-mart greeters, Fortune 500 CEO’s, etc… could have a subset that doesn’t choose to support a candidate on issues, values, integrity, leadership, etc… but on image.

    Is this a sign that in a closely divided political climate, this election may be won by a subset of women who vote based on rock star status? Has the American Idol mentality become that entrenched in our society that we’ve grown demographic subsets who vote on image alone? If so, will our political parties begin cultivating candidates based on creating an image and not based in policy, education, leadership, knowledge, experience, etc.?

    I think it’s possible this election may have repercussions that we won’t realize for another decade or two.

    1. Anytime Obama compares himself to Sarah Palin he loses. Every. Single. Time. But dumbass sexist green with envy Obama can’t help himself.

    2. The Jesus comparisons freak voters out.

    3. Pontius Pilate made a real life or death decision that was above his pay grade. Does Obama really want to go there?

    4. Being a Governor then was not the same as it is now. We elect or governors and take pride in that.

    If you were born in the 70′s and grew up in the 80′s (and Obama needs this demographic, because he sure mentions Reagan enough) you were a “latch key kid” or a child raised by a single mother. Our culture changed to one that is more sympathetic toward women, though corporate culture uses that to deny women promotions or keep them on a “seasonal or part time workers.”

  • J.J.

    I have always underestimated Hillary.

    I thought she could not identify enough with voters to get elected in New York – WRONG.

    I thought she would act as a celebrity senator and not work well with others – WRONG.

    I thought she would not be a forceful leader as a presidential candidate – WRONG.

    In all three cases I was wrong because i failed to appreciate her capacity to grow.

    Palin is a true reformer against her own party (Republican) and the good ol boys (oil) in Alaska. She’s a real middle-class woman, and she doesn’t foist her religious views on the people of her state. That’s why she has an 80% plus approval rating and is popular among Democrats as well. I understand she’s also appointed dems to positions in her government.

    THANK YOU, UW!

    Nancy, Nancy, Nancy!

    Any one of us who has spent plenty of quality time in Corporate America recognizes you.

    You’re the woman who kneecaps her way to just below the top and then kicks the ladder out from under you so that you don’t have any of the Girly competition nipping at your heals while you finger your pearls. Most of us were usually waiting for women like you to stand near a corporate hole. One mistake and we all threw you in your own hole and then went out to lunch and celebrated. You are our Clarence Thomas, aren’t you, girl?

    Oh, man, do I remember her ‘type’ from corporate world back in the 80′s. They’d gotten as far as they got by playing their ‘girlie’ games – or by living long enough. Many of them at that point, screwed their way ‘to the top’ to middle-management. Then they would backstab and do anything possible to eliminate female competition that might have actually had brains or actual talent.

    I knew many of these in Banking in the 70′s and 80′s. I’ve been long gone but they made a big impression on me. It was enough of an impression that I swore I’d never work for them or their ilk again. I never have. I’ve worked for ME ever since.

    I’d almost forgotten them until Pelosi came on the scene. Bitch.

  • Fixed Yer Typo

    It raises the question whether Obama himself should be held responsible for their peculiar brand of vicious hatred and savaging of Clinton and anyone who supported her. And who are now at work on Sarah Palin with the same type of online abuse.

    Don’t know if a campaign can be held responsible for every punk with a mommee problem that gets online and trashes women, but I do think that a campaign is responsble for the culture and code of conduct it generates. The culture that the Obama campaign has generated is anti-woman and vicious, and that is the reason I will vote for McCain.

  • Hope Floats

    And the Clintons raised money for Katrina and responded to the emergency, while Obama gave 1% of his paycheck to charity.

  • Monet

    “Gloria Steinem really threw me for a loop when she dissed Palin. What was she fighting for all those years–only liberal women. I thought it was all women and choice.”

    To be in support of women’s rights, Gloria Steinem has to put gender before her political ideology? Isn’t that a form of sexism? If a man had a choice between a male candidate who didn’t support his ideology and a woman who did, if he chose the male because any man is better than a woman, it would be considered sexist. Are you asking Ms. Steinem do to that, choose any woman is better than a man?

    I have to support Governor Palin as the vice president candidate even though I don’t support many of her views (that is the ones I’ve been able to research on my own and reach a conclusion about, the rest will have to wait until the McCain campaign stops sequestering her) or else I’m sexist?

    I’ve decided to support President McCain for president. At this point, based on my research into Governor Palin, I’m will not give my support to the second half of the ticket. That may change as I learn more about her. But as of now, I’ll vote McCain and pray he finishes out his term. Does that make me sexist because I don’t agree with Governor Palin policies and I refuse to go against my value system to vocalize support for her?

    Because I’m white and leery about Senator Obama because of his background with nefarious people, his possibility of dual citizenship, his lack of accomplishment as a politician, etc…, I’m racist. Because I’m a woman and choose to vote for McCain but have reservations about his vice candidate choice, I’m sexist. Basing my vote on issues, integrity, accomplishments, leadership ability, etc… makes me sexist and racist. I can’t win in this election.

  • http://www.TheOtherDemocrats.com FloridaEx-Dem

    I think men like Palin, even if they don’t agree with her politically, because her personal story is so compelling. And, whatever else you might say about her, you don’t have to worry about her “freezing” if she ever gets that 3:00 a.m. phone call.

    Just because you are a woman does not make you fit to run our armed forces. You have to be able to inspire and motivate the troops. You have to keep your cool under pressure. You have to be willing to use force but you also have to seek ways of avoiding force.

    Who passes the commander in chief test:

    Nancy Pelosi: No.
    Barbara Boxer: No.
    Barack Obama: No.
    Hillary Clinton: Yes
    Sarah Palin: Yes.

    BO was mouthing off today about Palin’s being for the bridge in Alaska and then against it. Is he crazy? What about Fisa, campaign financing, Wright being the “man he didn’t know.” What about his typical white grandmother? What about voting for the Cheney energy bill when McCain and Clinton voted against it? What about taking money from Wall Street and all the major corporate powers? And the ridiculousness of “troopergate” If Mechelle was divorcing him and tasered one of his daughters he’d have her fired from her 300,000 thous year job, he’d sue the hospital and probably use his nefarious connections to put a hit on her. I hope they do investigate that trooper if he’ abusing his wife, children and issuing death threats he should not only be fired, he should be in jail along with the guy who refused to fire him. This is a joke.

    Breaking News on Joe Biden

    Biden: Palin Would Be ‘Backward Step for Women’

    Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) says that if Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) becomes the first female vice president it will be a “backward step for women.”

    UPDATE: Republican National Committee spokeswoman Amber Wilkerson has a response:

    “The only person taking a step backward is Joe Biden, whose appalling and arrogant statements are better suited for the back rooms of his old boys club. Sarah Palin’s nomination as the Republican vice presidential nominee is an historic opportunity to break the highest glass ceiling. While John McCain and Sarah Palin continue to press their message of change, Joe Biden should stop these sorts of old-style attacks.”

    Now that is the way to hit back!!

    The Obama-Biden good old boy team is beat!

    Time out for a laugh. Headline in the Monterey Herald this morning: “Media guilty of being ‘partisan’.” Ariana Huffington speaking Monday in Monterey on “Ethetical Deliemmas on the Campaign Trail”. Ok, I know that’s funny but it gets better.
    …co-founder and editor-in-chief of the Huffington Post she insists the commentary Web site is nonpartisan but is dedicated to “the truth.” Hahahahahaha.

    “You’re partisan,” she said, “when you don’t tell the truth if it affects your own side. We pursue the truth. We see it as our primary mission.” . Wait, I have to get a tissue…She goes on to say, “The media, in seeking to provide all sides of the story, is a Pontius Pilate, that then washes its hands of the consequences.”

    Let’s not get overconfident as Obama supporters did. We must remain vigilant. We still have a lot of work to do. We must remain vigilant even after this election to ensure this never happens again to any women whether she has a D, an R, or an I behind her name.

  • AnnieLovesHillary

    It will be my first vote as an American citizen ( I took the oath on my birthday in February and am very proud of it).
    I will not vote for BHO, no way !
    I received a letter signed by Howard Dean today asking for funds. I sent it back with the following note written in red : “I am outraged by the unfairness you demonstrated toward Senator Clinton and, though a registered Democrat so far, I will now give my vote to a REAL American candidate, JMc Cain, and will change my party affiliation.And no, I will not put a stamp on this envelope to help the party as requested.

    I hope they read it and that I am not the only one doing this.

  • Perry Logan

    Just for the record: I’m a highly-educated, middle-aged, white, heterosexual male of a strongly left-wing bent (please say a prayer for me). I never endorsed Hillary, so I cannot be fairly accused of being a sore loser.

    And I, too, have no use whatsoever for Barack Obama. So it can happen!

    Like my fellow PUMAs, I won’t stand for misogyny, cheating, and dirty politics. The fact that a large number of PUMAs are white females is inevitable, given the horrible sexisam of the primary campaign. I’m proud to stand with those women, and others like myself.

    As for his politics, Obama is neither a progressive nor a Democrat. He’s just a crooked pol.

  • Diana

    The men that come here, that are speaking out are the exception, not the rule and that saddens me. When I see Republican men coming out by the majority to stand behind their women…the voices that were outshouted at the treatment Hillary received. It doesn’t make me angry. It deeply saddens me.

    Democrat men were supposed to be the progressive that stood behind their women, helped to fight for them. I guess it was just another lie.

    My husband is Republican, although he wasn’t always Republican. In college he was Democrat, for several years out of college he was Democrat. When he switched to being Republican he became a diehard Republican.

    When I told him who I was supporting I thought OK here comes the Republican beating, which is why we don’t discuss politics a lot here. It was the opposite. He stood behind me, he never ridiculed her. He had nothing but good things to say about her and President Clinton. I knew he wouldn’t vote for her, but he stood behind me and my decision.

    Whenever I’d get discouraged over something happening in the primary, with the MSM he was my cheerleader. He’d say, “Don’t get discouraged. Your supporting one tough women. Trust me there isn’t a Republican alive that doesn’t know she’d be hard to beat. If you believe in her, you fight for her.” Now I have to ponder if it would have been the same if he had remained a Democrat after seeing the almost deafening silence from the majority of Democrat men.

    Black female voter here. I originally backed Clinton, who as we all know did not end up with the Democratic nod. However, Palin is no Clinton, not by a longshot. And having her as the first woman in the Oval Office would be a disgrace to all those who’ve faught for women’s rights throughout the last century.

    To me, she’s a poorly educated, petty, vindictive, Christain-fundamentalist side-show who beleives that God speaks to her directly on issues like oil pipelines, the warm and probably the economy. She does not believe in a woman’s right to choose what to do with her uterus, She would like us all to believe that a shotgun wedding is making the most of a bad situation, when really it is only compounding it. And she’s also cut funding to programs to help teenage mothers in need of shelter (not unlike her daughter). She could care less about, the disabled (other than her child), the poor, gays or anyone but herself and her immediate family.

    Please make certain that you aren’t cutting off your nose to spite your face in your anger over Hillary. Think long and hard about what Palin’s beliefs are, and what tanglible, positive effect they will have on your life is she’s elected Vice President. If you still choose to vote for her, that’s your right as an American.

    For those who believe the Obama campaign to be sexist, two wrongs do not make a right. Countering perceived sexism with racist banter helps no one. It certainly does not help build relations with women of color, if it is something that you are at all concerned about. If not, then I guess it’s every woman for herself.

    Uppity, you have done more to keep me in good spirits through all the ob terrorism against lifelong dems than anybody has. I can’t thank you enough for making the load a lot lighter. The Palin pick cheered me up too.

    Hillary was it. She had it all. They blew it. Big time.

    Thanks Up.

    Oh, man, do I remember her ‘type’ from corporate world back in the 80’s. They’d gotten as far as they got by playing their ‘girlie’ games – or by living long enough. Many of them at that point, screwed their way ‘to the top’ to middle-management. Then they would backstab and do anything possible to eliminate female competition that might have actually had brains or actual talent.

    I knew many of these in Banking in the 70’s and 80’s. I’ve been long gone but they made a big impression on me. It was enough of an impression that I swore I’d never work for them or their ilk again. I never have. I’ve worked for ME ever since.

    I’d almost forgotten them until Pelosi came on the scene. Bitch.

    Now Sarah Palin can be her buddy as President of the Senate. Palin has already shown some of her stripes by supporting her mother-in-law’s opponent in the race to succeed Palin as mayor of Wasilla. Anyone with any class at all would have simply remained impartial and not backed either candidate. Particularly considering it was such a small town.

  • Jane from Tx

    Destardi and JJ, really glad you guys are here! Have to say I bet there are many more like you who it deeply rankles to hear women gettin spat on! My good friend also who doesnt blog but feels these things also just as I do. So glad you both do blog though cause I have enjoyed reading your blogs.

  • Salida

    Hey EJ,
    Sarah Palin is not Hillary Clinton. There can only be one Hillary and there will only be one Sarah. She will blaze her own path. All I can gather from you is that you do not want her to steal Obama’s thunder. He is not the only one trying to make history. Remember Michelle saying she will have to think hard before she votes for Hillary if they had lost the primaries? Well, this female has thought hard and will not support Obama. Are you now demeaning public universities? Not everyone will get the opportunity to attend Ivy league schools but she has successfully govern a state. Oh, and yes, it is a state even if there are only 5 people. A state is a state is a state. Besides, isn’t that what America is about? A black man can be president so can a hockey mom, with 5 kids, who grew up in rural America, hunts moose, has a sick child and received public education. That is the American dream, anyone can be president so there, it is Sarah Palin’s time.

    Obama’s are not much better. Oh, and have you heard, the Dems came out to today and said DRILL BABY DRILL? Saw the polls and shifted fast, didn’t they?

    At least with McCain, I know what I’m, getting, and can work with that. With Obama and the current DNC, I would be trusting a pack of liars. FISA, anyone?

  • small town in pa

    When my wife asked me about 2 months ago who McCain should pick I told her Sarah Palin. She said who, and again i said SARAH PALIN, the governor of Alaska. She said she never heard of her and I said “you will if McCain is smart!” Well hats off to you McCain! As a Hillary supporter I knew deep inside that if Mac picked her he would win. I looked her up awhile ago and really liked what I read about her. While I may not agree on all of her views the one thing I LOVE most about her. She comes from blue collar roots! No mommy and daddy with tons of money, a family woman who can balance her home life with her career and someone who used their hands for a living, not sitting behind a desk. GO MAC/PALIN!

  • small town in pa

    Poorly educated? Why cause she didn’t go to Harvard? No you racist bitch she’s not poorly educated. She went to the best school in the world, MOTHERHOOD,FAMILY,CONVICTION.Your so blind for your race that you would rather put a Chicago thug in office with no qualifications than a women , or make that 2 women, with better qualifictions than that moron. Go back to your watermelon and chicken and shut the _uck up!

  • http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/07/18/born-in-the-usa/#more.3665 Love America

    Obama’s own words have disgraced him and he NEEDS to step down. He has lost whatever trust he once had.

    The DNC is a disgrace.

    Yes Karl Rowe has done it again. Not sure he can take credit for Sarah though but appears the Republicans will win big again.

    Hillary was who they (REPUBLICANS) were afraid of but Donna Brazil thought a black candidate could do better. To bad they didn’t have a true black leader to nominate as what they got is a street thug bully of women.

    DEMOCRATS IT IS OVER. SADLY THIS DEMOCRAT WILL BE HAPPY TO SUPPORT MCCAIN/PALIN AS A PROTEST VOTE AS I CANNOT VALIDATE FRAUDULENT PRIMARY SELECTION OF OBAMA.

    HOW DARE YOU DISGRACE HILLARY, AND NOW PALIN. WOMEN WON’T FORGET.

  • Alien

    EJ -Sarah Palin is not uneducted. She has a degree from a State public university- the state she was born in . That is a logical & economic choice.

    Women do not have some divine right to abort foetuss from their uterus. It is granted by state & federal legislation in the hope of women not killing the babies at birth thru sheer spite or making miserable poor lives to these unfortunates. Better to not make it .

    Abortions are good for lowering crime but they are not something to be proud of in the worlds richest country.

  • http://360.yahoo.com/ommotherlifeforce fred heidrick

    i suport and suported hillary on the issues that obama stole. i suport her as the kindand loving person she is.i suport her as a woman that cares about many others.

    i do not suport pelosi the back stabing witch,that didnt want any woman higher on the lader than she is.

    leave it to the democrats to shoot them selves in the foot.so glad now im a independent again.

  • anita d. cruz

    me, my son, my big sister and some hispanic friends are hillary supporters and since she’s not in the ticket,we back mccain, and this confirmed it when he put sarah palin in his vp ticket and thats so moving to all of us who were disenfranchised on this obama and the democratic party officials and superdelegates. we’re voting john mccain/sara palin ticket- so i am republican now and so are the other mentioned supporters. we are all so happy w/ delight,joy for the coming of sarah! this sudden unexpected rise of sarah in the limelight put the democratic party on alert! they thought w/o hillary as their vp,they have this presidential race on the bag-their way! good ,here comes the saviour of john mccain and he made us happy too for getting sarah for the ticket!! no matter what obama/biden or their throngs of investigative reporters lawyers they sent to alaska to find all the dirt of sarah and her private life and family, that dont matter to us anymore whatever she did in her life, now we are at her side! we are voting for john mccain-sarah palin ticket and this is a great fight!! and hoping it will knock off obama’s leads in the electoral votes, coz he and his surrogates already aligned the red states in their column!! what? the republicans will just give in to obama those red states w/o a fight?

  • anita d. cruz

    YOU HAVE GOOD PROJECTION. I AM W/ U, GOOD CHOICE OF MCCAIN, SARAH BROUGHT IN TREMENDOUS ENERGY IN THIS RACE THAT MADE OBAMA AND HIS SURROGATES IN PANIC MODE, AT FIRST THEY DONT WANT TO SAY ANYTHING WHAT SARAH MADE TO THIS RACE!! EXCITING,ENTHUSIASM, THAT BROUGHT IN LOTS OF SPECTATORS TO COME TO MCCAIN’S RALLY. I AM ONE OF HILLARY CLINTON’S DISENFRANCHISED SUPPORTER, SO MY SON, MY BIG SISTER AND SOME HISPANIC FRIENDS WILL GO MAC/PAL.
