Sarah Palin’s First-Ever TV Ad

By SusanUnPC on September 17, 2008 at 4:15 AM in Sarah Palin

Hannity & Colmes played the first ad that Sarah Palin ever used, in her mayoral race:

That’s pretty cute. Not to mention effective. She displayed good judgment in creating this ad.

    Sarah Palin according to Nancy Pelosi, is a step backward for women.

    However.

    Stealing the nomination from Hillary and telling the Women of the DNC shut up and vote for Barack is not.

      Damned Straight! NOBAMA!!!

      Great point, Jeremiah.

      This video also highlights Democrats inability to frame issues when asked simple questions.

        I hate any Pelosi. She is just as dumb as her mother!

        I love how she is a super delegate. Do you just get to be a delegate if you have a relative in power? This crap has to stop!

        I am emailing Bill Clinton to see how we can reform this election process. No more caucuses. No more super delegates. No more cross party voting in a primary! Really, why should the other side have a say in who the nominee is in the pther party? If they want to cross party vote in the GE great, primary? no! The only reason to do so is fraud in my opinion! Bill, help!

        When I find out how, I’ll be looking for help and if we can get rid of the nonleaders of the Do Nothing Corruption, let’s do that, too!

        • Rob in Chicago

          She is being “groomed for power” like many children of powerful politicians who have no idea what it is like to survive in the public sector (both Democrats and Republicans.) She does documentary films, so that should make her qualified to be Speaker of the House, unless she’s been dating John Edwards also.

          • PhxNickD

            Well hopefully after BHO looses the election those in power in the Dem party will be reduced to nothing and kicked out. Christine Pelosi is an example of what is wrong with the party this election — all that matters is the rubbish that spews out of her trap.

          • Ai1een

            ROTFL! –

            I saw the Christi Pelosi interview last night. The big question I had during the entire segment was, “WHY DOES THE DAUGHTER LOOK OLDER THAN THE MOTHER?”

            Maybe Hannity should have asked her that vs. the question that she REFUSED to answer.

        • LookingForwardTo2012

          I agree!! Open Primaries and Caucuses are patently fraudulent. Who’s responsible for this???

        • http://! Clinton Fan

          We make fun of the Husseins (as in late King of Jordan) and the Assads of Syria for handing off power to their children, and call them “backward” and “undemocratic” and we do the same fucking thing.

          We’re hypocrites. And the funny thing is, we don’t see it as a nation–we’ve, as a group, had a great big IRONECTOMY on that score.

          I think allowing dilettantish filmmakers who wouldn’t be successful filming Romper Room episodes without her successful MOM providing her entree being a delegate is fucking OBSCENE.

          Let’s get rid of “superdelegates.” Superdelegates are UNDEMOCRATIC. Let’s let the VOTERS decide, and require delegates to vote the way their constituencies tell them to. Fucking John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and the Friend Of Barack Test Marketed Campaign Governor of MASS all voted against their own constituencies….fuck ‘em.

    • vinnie

      Nancy, Nancy, just STFU! Don’t forget, when asked what she thought about all the sexism towards Hillary in the primary she said she was too busy with her job to noticed. Yeh, that same job with 9% approval rating. Wonder if it were directed toward her own daughter if she’d be too busy to care.

  • Diana

    The Boston Globe is addressing some of the smears against Palin:

    Enough of the Palin feeding frenzy
    By Jeff Jacoby

    But the left’s onslaught against Palin has been of a different order of magnitude.

    “Ideologically, she is their hardcore pornographic centerfold spread,” columnist Cintra Wilson wrote in Salon. “She’s such a power-mad, backwater beauty-pageant casualty, it’s easy to write her off and make fun of her. But in reality I feel as horrified as a ghetto Jew watching the rise of National Socialism.”

    On the website of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, commentator Heather Mallick was even cruder. Palin appeals to “the white trash vote” with her “toned-down version of the porn actress look,” she wrote. “Husband Todd looks like a roughneck. . . What normal father would want Levi ‘I’m a [bleeping] redneck’ Johnson prodding his daughter?”

    From radio talk-show host Randi Rhodes came the smutty suggestion that the governor of Alaska has an unhealthy interest in teenage boys: “She’s friends with all the teenage boys,” Rhodes told her audience last week. “You have to say no when your kids say, ‘Can we sleep over at the Palins?’ No! NO!”

    The smears and sneers have been without end. One liberal congressman likened Obama to Jesus – and Palin to Pontius Pilate. A Democratic state chairman declared scornfully that Palin’s “primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.” A University of Chicago professor seethed: “Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman.”

    The national media, meanwhile, have only further eroded what remained of their reputation for objectivity.

      Is Randi Rhoades back on the air? Is she on Air America again? Or is she some where else now? Does anyone know?

      • Diana

        No she’s gone from Air America, now she’s on some XM station I think? I never listened to her show I prefer KNX or KFI. KNX for news and information I need now. Especially for any type of emergency here in CA. There are a few shows I like to listen into on KFI.

        Here you go I found the information:

        Well hours after she and Air America “terminated” their relationship in mid-suspension — Rhodes cut a deal Thursday to get back on the air in SF, where she will work the 4 p.m.-7 p.m. slot starting Monday on 960 AM. She is now working for Phoenix-based Nova M Radio Network.

    What?

    What is Christine Pelosi talking about?

    From the comments of Sen. Joe Biden, and that of a woman: Ms. Christine Pelosi that shows you what the vast majority of the democrats thinks of a strong women.

    That is the reason why Sen. Clinton is not the nominee and that is why she is not on the ticket.

    That is why the democrats will lose big this time.

    It has nothing to do with race.

    You listen to Paul Begala and James Carville and they lie with a straight face. Do they really believe in what they are talking about?

    • Diana

      Pelosi daughter makes herself look like an “A” It’s only good for women if it is a “radical” Democrat woman. We all saw how they treated Hillary, now here she was pretending like the only question of Sarah is who is raising her children. That it’s a normal question. I guess is someone asks Nancy she’ll also swear she never heard any sexist attacks against Palin. Never mind her own mother worked outside of the home in politics and had 5 children herself. Never mind that it’s ok for men to be in politics with children. She’s so blind she can’t even see the hypocrisy in what she’s saying. Just like NARAL and NOW it’s ok that Biden also believes that life begins at conception. It’s ok that he’s voted to ban late term abortions. It’s ok that he voted against public financing of abortions. The same as McCain. It’s not ok that McCain did. Nor is it ok that McCain and Palin have the same belief as Biden because he has a D behind his name. No hypocrisy to see here folks, move along…

      • csuzeq

        And do not forget that dems only care about choice for democrats. They only care about women’s rights if you are a liberal woman. They only care about equal rights for democrats. The democrats need to change their name to the HNC, the hypocratic national committee or maybe the hypecratic national committee!

        • Perry Logan

          Either that, or you’re making a baseless smear against Democrats. :)

          The truth is, pro-choice laws help all women. Abortion rates are much lower in areas where pro-choice laws are in effect.

  • Diana

    This was the most telling part in the whole article to me. The more they try to demonize her, the more Americans are identifying with her. Perhaps they’re starting to realize if this is what they think of her. What they’re saying about her, when in reality she is an average American. What must they in reality be thinking/saying about the average American that isn’t out in the public eye? With how much more disdain…

    She is named by 33 percent of respondents as the candidate who “best understands the problems of everyday life in America,” more than those naming Obama (32 percent), McCain (17), or Joe Biden (10). Among independent voters, Palin’s lead over Obama on this measure widens to 13 points. In a recent Rasmussen poll, 51 percent of voters said the press was trying to hurt Palin through its coverage, versus just 5 percent who thought it was trying to help – a 10-1 disparity.

  • candy

    I don’t have a comment to the video of Gov. Palin’s first campaign ad. I guess I just want to vent about this. With all the criticisms against her for lacking knowledge and experience in foreign policy, and with Charlie Gibson grilling her on a nationally broadcasted final exam on the subject, why hasn’t anybody point out that Obama travels around with 300 foreign policy advisors? Why doesn’t anyone question why someone who might become the leader of the free world is so lacking in knowledge and experience in foreign affairs that he needs THREE HUNDRED advisors to tutor him? Bill Clinton–now here’s a truly brilliant intelligent man who knows what he’s talking about–had no such need. But I digress, the point is, no one makes a fuss about this, even though this alone should be scaring the heck out of people.

    What’s more, it again is symbolic of how Palin is more like a normal person, while Obama lives in some elitist world. With THREE HUNDRED foreign policy advisors, it’s like Obama can afford Princeton Review and private tutoring and whatever else to help him past the foreign policy SATs, while Palin just has to cramp for the exam on cliff notes. You know, if Sarah Palin had THREE HUNDRED foreign policy advisors with her during the Charles Gibson finals, maybe she could’ve turned in a thesis for each and every question he threw at her.

    On another note, the recent Wall Street crisis just makes me feel how utterly foolish that the Dems had threw Hillary out for the false Messiah. Objectively speaking, I must say that neither Obama or McCain knows what the hell they’re talking about in addressing matters relating to Wall Street. I honestly believe that Hillary would know exactly what the mess is all about, can talk intelligently and effectively about it, and propose some effective solutions. But better yet, I know for certain that Bill Clinton would have truly in-depth understanding about the whole crisis, and what will and will not work to lead the country out of the current financial mess. Our country could have really used the two of them to handle economic matters at this time.

    I don’t favor either candidate for anything they’ve said and proposed about Wall Street so far. Frankly, I swear I know more about Wall Street and the financial world than they do. But I especially do not trust Obama to deal with this. He wrote in his own book about how he once saw himself in a tie and business suit and felt so distressed that he might become part of Wall Street. You just can’t be the savior of something for which you hold disdain, or for which you have no interest. The best that someone like him can do is to stay the hell out of the way and let the market work itself out. And the best way he can do that is for him to stay out of the White House.

    • MaryPat

      Perhaps he was distressed that he might become a part of Wall Street, but that hasn’t stopped him from taking gobs and gobs of money from the likes of Lehman and Goldman Sachs, has it?

    • http://www.governuts.us Agust304

      I agree. I saw Bill Clinton go one hour without notes last May. He spewed more eco-stats than you could write in a ledger. He did not stop. He did not hesitate. But the most true thing he said, after an audience member said: “Wow, man. You just did that off the top of your head.” Bill said: “Hillary knows this stuff better than I ever will. And I am telling you the truth when I say that.” Know what? I believe him. Now, why did we pick the dumb ass from Chicago?

      the recent Wall Street crisis just makes me feel how utterly foolish that the Dems had threw Hillary out for the false Messiah

      That is exactly how I feel. And I think, for the first time in my adult life I got an answer from Amy Klobuchar. Early yesterday morning I called her office and said: “Here we are a heart beat away from a true depression and you conspired against the candidacy of the one person who understands what is going on and could provide real leadership to rebuild our economy”. And I told her I knew she took ten grand from Obama for her vote against the best interest of America.

      And guess what? My brother said she was on FOX yesterday telling us all that Obama could lead us out of this financial crisis, we just have to give him a chance. (she hopes we will believe that)

      Ha!

  • http://www.governuts.us Agust304

    Good morning. Let’s rock.

    It sounds like Pelosi, Obama et al are trying to mold a socialist state that is built upon the foundation of their leadership. The problem with that is the fundamental underpinning and undoing of communism is the fact that communal governments can not come into existence without a dictatorial leader forcing every subject to obey the rule of all before self – which, considering it takes a leader who is neither one of all or none of self to execute the construction of such a society, is mutually exclusive. In other words, the Obama dream is just a sewer pipe filled with crack. Suck on it at your own peril.

    Socialism, as promoted by the Barack Obama minions, only works if everyone believes they are each equally as unworthy as the other.

    Democracy has built into its core a place for competition. The person with the most votes wins, for example.

    I am providing a link to a concert. At first glance you may decide that these folks are just competing against each other for center stage. If you are an Obama socialist you may conclude that such a competitive and drawn out performance brings out the horrific ego of each of the performers.

    If you are the citizen watching the show you realize that the fundamentals of a true contest for attention actually brings out the best in each of the performers.

    If Barack had directed this show then each one would have had equal time and he would have ended the concert with a speech about unity and “what it means to me.”

    But, he did not have anything to do with this and therefore everybody wins.

    Do check it out. It will be the best 9 minutes you spent today.

      If Obama is a socialist, I’m a gerbil.

      The problem is that right-wingers ALWAYS say EVERY Democrat running for President is a socialist and a communist.

      They said FDR was a socialist.

      They JFK was a socialist and a commie, and stopped smearing him only when he was killed.

      They said LBJ, Carter, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and even Hillary are crazed far-left socialists.

      Since the Republicans say the same damned thing about every damned Democratic candidate, normal people have long ago learned to ignore their crap. Wingers have a serious repetition problem.

        First i want to say this is not the Perry Logan I thought I knew.

        Second, he is right, Obama is not a socialist.

        He just played one during the primaries to get the left wing vote.

        Then he moved to the center to get the moderate vote.

        Right before the conventions he tried to move to the right and find Jeezussss to get the right wing vote, but unfortunately he answer was above his paygrade.

        The fact of the matter is that Obama is not interested in reform.

        Obama is not interested in SOcialized Medicine or govenrment.

        Obama is not interested in anyones problems really, not even yours.

        Obama is interested in one thing and one thing only.

        Getting Elected.

        He will say and do anything including 180 degree turns on positions 24 hours after taking them if he thinks it will help him get elected.

        The man has no character integrity or honesty.

        The fact that he was able to peddle Hope for so long shows just how ignorant so many so called liberated educated leftists actually are.

        THe man didnt have a single well thought out policy or record of accomplishement at all but the socalled educated elite threw out the most experienced qualified member of their own party for a chance to wet their collective panties and jump around with their hands in the air saying Yes We Can Yes We Can…good god beyond embarrassing.

              “hollywood flocks to anything that promotes vapidity self absorption and the me me me lifestyle.”

              Ain’t that the truth! Ironically, the Hollywood elite seems to think that they are helping Obama by sharing their ‘deep’ thoughts about him with us. How wrong they are.

              The more the Hollywood choir sings in tune with Obama as their lead, the less I want to have anything to do with them. They can share their importance amongst themselves and make movies about presidents, but any real political power should be kept out of their hands. ‘Me, me, me’ they can keep.

          • csuzeq

            I’ve been saying for quite a while now that he should not be a real President, can’t he just play one on tv? Couldn’t he be some Palmer brother on 24 (who is an evil terrorist and is killed at the end of the season)? Damn I love 24, it is my favorite show, but most of the actors in that early Obama video were from 24!

            Give Obama his own show on Sci Fi and then the bots can watch him save the world single handedly without having to jeopardize the real world over it. Then I can just turn that channel off!

            Can we turn Obama off? He has no soul anyway, he must just be a bot!

            I understand what Perry is saying. Republicans have done their fair share of trying to demonize a candidate. I hope after what happened in 2006 with the Republican Party they’ve been humbled enough to realize that. If you stop to think about it, we are in a very weird place right now. Republicans and Democrats coming together into uncharted territory. We didn’t have these discussions when Reagan ran. There were only small BBS’s. We’re not agreeing on every issue, but we are agreeing on some. We’re compromising on both sides. This is the way our government should be working together for us.

            Like the choice of McCain on the right or not. Like the choice of Hillary on the left or not. This is what Hillary did for us, and no matter which side you’re on you have to respect that. She opened our eyes to what was happening within our parties, and united us in a way who among us would have ever thought possible? It’s refreshing as well as being topsy turvy. We need to keep discussing even after the election. We cannot go back into silence on either side. The moderates. We may not always agree, but when we set aside our differences to work together we can change the way things are done. We can get things accomplished through compromise. We can work toward a goal for the betterment of all.

            the media is a propaganda machine for whichever “party” the puppet masters are backing in any given year.

            this year the pm’s are backing the “democratic” party.

            they like to have us believe that the “pendulum” swings “fairly”

            the “two” party system is a sham.

            this past dem primary season illustrated that to me beyond a shadow of a doubt.

            my gut tells me to stay away from an obama administration. the hidden agenda’s with that crowd is far more nefarious than one can imagine.

            i trust McCain because my gut tells me to.

            and Palin, even though i am a “liberal” feminist, makes me proud to see her rise to VP.

            true feminism must spread across all political spectrums/ideologies or it just becomes another kind of fascism.

            the obama coup is undemocratic and authoritarian in a way that
            threatens all of us.

            Your reasoning is falacious.

            Comment by Perry Logan | 2008-09-17 07:35:47

            If the media were liberal, I, a liberal, would be happy it. But I’m not. Therefore, the media is not liberal.

            Quod erat demonstrandum, baby!

            You happiness can be affected by many things. And your state of unhappiness
            does not in any way dictate or influence the liberal or conservative leaning of the media as you do not control the mainstream media.

            Modus Tollens

            Description
            If X is true then Y is true.

            Y is false.

            Therefore X is false.

            Example
            If there is smoke, there is fire. There is not fire, so there is no smoke.

            If I am happy, then I smile. I am not smiling, therefore I am not happy.

            Discussion
            Modus Tollens is not as straightforward as its companion, Modus Ponens. Although common in argument, a Modus Tollens is not necessarily true, as the major premise (If X is true then Y is true) says nothing about falsehood. If, however, X and Y are bivalent (both can be either true or false) and X can only be true if Y is true, then the Modus Tollens stands.

            Modus Tollens is the root of falsification, as proposed by Karl Popper and since used as the cornerstone of scientific proof.

            This is also known as Denying the Consequent, as Y, the consequent is being denied as being true.

            I would think that if you are going to quote latin, you would know the basics of sound logical reasoning.

            Seriously, when you try and make yourself look smart, make sure you aren’t demonstrating what a stupid ass you actually are.

    Susan, The NYT says McCain plans to tax employers on their health benefits, to bust up employee benefits ala social security.
    This does not bode well for getting Hillary supporters like me (or anybody for that matter) to vote for him!
    I hope that this is not true and he will have a response.
    I am not voting for Obama, but voting to f*k our company health plan is scary.

    • http://www.governuts.us Agust304

      No. It is Obama that plans to let his Wall Street backers “buy” the benefit packages. Why on earth do you think they bought him? Money out – money in. Their backing of him is an investment.

    • JP

      NYT has lost about all of its credibility for being the official distributor of Obama talking points.

      • Perry Logan

        They lost credibility long before that. Rememeber how they pimped for the Iraq invasion?

        • Nicole

          Hey, Perry: you and I are in complete agreement…not only about the NYT but about Obama. My contention, way, way back, is that Obama is nothing more than an opportunist, and one who believes in nothing. He’s neither a muslim nor a christian; and he’s neither a communist nor a liberal nor a socialist (there are distinctions). He’s just an ambitious pol, and a tool for the back-room boys.

    • Tuppence 411

      I heard the same thing. I need to look into this issue more. I know McCain is advocating a $5000 tax credit per family for health insurance costs, which is great for people paying the majority of the bill themselves. But honestly, I thought about people like me- whose employer pays 80% of the premium. A tax credit for me, on top of what my employer is contributing, would be like double-dipping. Not fair when so many are struggling. I need to look into it more to see if the tax/tax credit is allocated justly.

      Oh jeebus. Now that they have been insulting the voters, why not take a stab at the insiders. HAH! Let’s see how they feel when they are called names and put down for not seeing the halo around the One. Wow, and Donna doesn’t see the meat around the One’s campaign? Double HAH!!

      Thanks for that notyoursweetie! Love it.

      Obama’s campaign gone “insular”? You mean when they moved the DNC to Chicago? You mean they aren’t listening to you now Donna after all the water you’ve carried? Watching your shabby “career” go down the drain, Donna? I can’t wait. It can’t come too soon. And I mean that in the nicest possible way…stopping the hate and all.

  • ford

    You Have to face tha fact that the NYT is a Obama driven rag @ this point…lots of LIES, few FACTS….very sad.

    The fact is that your company will be rewarded for providing health care under McCain’s plan.

    I’m voting for McCain this year, Hill in 2012.

      Of course we want women to succeed just not this woman.

      Thats what she said and she is called a feminist.

      A lot of american’s who actually know obama and his record feel the same way…but they are called racists.

  • QUEENIE

    DAMN!!!!!!!!!!

    All these years I fought for womens rights..long before Christine was born…and I had no idea..no idea at all..

    that it was only “DEMOCRATIC WOMEN ” THAT WERE ALLOWED TO SUCCEED…

    Wellllll…. tickle me with a feather..

    I am sitting here dumb founded…

    All those marches, all that money..all that standing up for other women..fighting for a union..for women, and fighbting for equal rights in my work place..I had no idea I was only supposed to be doing it for “DEMOCRATIC WOMEN”

    SLAP ME SILLY..

    And LITTLE DID I KNOW.. I was supposed to step back if a man came forward, ahead of the pack..with little to – no experience, and IIIII was supposed to step aside..

    See that didn’t come with the definition of feminisim and equal rights.. I knew in my day..Christine..

    And I know it didn’t come with the deinition your mother had Christine..because she and I are close in age..so who is shitting who here Christine?????????

    I have news for you Christine..if destroying another women for your messiah is your definition of feminism….I will work my ass off for Palin..to prove your ass wrong..you wet behind the ears whipper snapper…and I will see to it your skanky ass gets thrown out of any office you think you want.

    You nor anyone else will now draw up new rulzzz for feminism..without all us girls taking a vote on that!

    Go to hell in a handbasket Christine!!

    oh and PS Christine.,,.tell your mamma..we are going to take her down from her perch as well!!

    • JP

      well said!!! I’m with you on this one.

    • wodiej

      well you go girl!! well said!

    • Diana

      This is the thing that has bothered me the most about this entire election. When exactly did these new definitions come about? Pro-Choice equals one choice. I was a child clear through my teens during the second movement/wave. I got all my ideas from my mother/grandmother/aunts. They taught me that being pro-choice means ‘respecting’ every woman’s choice. No matter what it was.

      Nor was it just Democrat women burning their bras. There were women from all backgrounds joined together to fight for women’s rights. When did feminism come to stand for only Democratic women, and not all Democrat women only those they agree with? No one else. We’re supposed to be lifting all women to shatter those glass ceilings. So our daughters, and their daughters won’t have to. I never would have believed that today I would hear a woman say I am in a feminist in one sentence along with a vile sexist attack against another women! Not on the issues, on being a women. Excuse me??? You’re a what? I don’t think so.

      And since when did being a feminist include attacking anyone with any religious beliefs? Including those that aren’t using their religious beliefs to dictate how you also must live. What we must believe. Isn’t Pelosi Catholic? Why did she have 5 children? Couldn’t possibly be because her religion teaches that life begins at conception. That it’s against the teachings of the church to have an abortion. Is she using her religious beliefs to dictate to us? How she governs? So why again is it that Sarah will?

      Why is it again that it’s ok for Biden to believe life begins at conception, but it’s not ok for McCain to believe that? Why is it ok that Biden voted against public financing for abortion, but it’s not ok that McCain did. Why is it ok that Biden voted for banning late term abortion, but it’s not ok that McCain did? Who’s defining what is right and what is wrong? Who’s now defining what pro-choice is and isn’t. Who came up with the new definition for feminism? They sure have a twisted view on reality.

  • Eden

    Obama is now tapping more McCain buzzwords. “Town halls and diners.”

    Where was McCain while Obama was schmoozing with the empty-headed celebrities? Eating dinner at a diner with local people.

  • wodiej

    all I can say is the new Dem party is only making things worse for themselves by all of the crude, vulgar nasty talk about Sarah Palin. Insulting women, middle class and every day normal people. All of the media bias etc. These types of things are why the polls are moving in McCain’s favor.

  • QUEENIE

    you bet wodiej..they are dang ignorant..and the packs of obots..and their ignorance and nastiness is exactly why i am voting for a republican for the first time in almost 40 years!

    • wodiej

      it should give them a wake up call when people who have voted Dem for 40 years are voting Republcan this year-HELLO!! People don’t do that lightly…they have to REALLY be dissatisfied w their Dem nominee to do that. But…they won’t listen and it is at their own peril.

  • POdVet

    It was this kind of BS from the Bush Admin that made me a pissed off vet! Now the moronic far left loonies are forcing me to check and see who supported Obama come the November elections, and I will be casting my vote against every single democrat who pushed for this criminal to be our nominee. I have a very strong feeling that the Republicans will be in control of the White House as well as the House and Senate when Hillary runs in 2012. It absolutely amazes me that these jerk offs could do this. They just took control of Congress back from the Republicans and now they are determined to give it back. I swear…the Republican controlled congress we had to put up with when Bill Clinton was President was one of the most inept in history, but these idiotic dumbocrats like Pelosi almost make me miss Newt! Here’s a message directly for our beloved leaders in the DNC since they screwed the pooch mauling Hillary for the criminal Obama. I HOPE you have your asses ready for a CHANGE in career’s because we true Democrats are getting rid of you and your Obamessiah!

    If the media would have investigated Obama in the manner that they have investigate Sarah Palin, he would not be the democratic candidate. The media made Obama by hiding the truth about him. Are the networks so afraid of Obama that they negelect reporting the turth about Obama. American let’s take our country back from the corrupt media and the democrats left elitist. I’m a democrat who’s never voted republican. This maybe my first time voting for a non democrat.

    • Perry Logan

      By the same token, if they’d just investigated George W. Bush, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in now.

  • Steve-O

    First I thought that the guy was dead set on making fun of Palin, but then, Oh boy! :o :D

    The only thing that miffed me was “Stop playing Clinton games…” Why not “Stop playing Obama games”???

    Pelosi was great… for the McCain campaign. Saying “Palin is a step forward, is a good thing” would have been less harmful, but her refusal to answer gave him the opportunity to demask her as a Liberal who would rather die than say a good thing about a conservative.

    Is that the way the country is expected to heal? Attacking people because they disagree with you?

    Who on earth is Christine Pelosi to be a Superdelegate for California???? What did she do in life to be in that position?

    McCain/Palin campaign seem to be hitting back on the Troopergate non-issue. Surrogates on news this morning with more in depth answers as to who Sarah fired and why. Yeah, I’d fire anyone in my administration who went behind my back trying to undermine my agenda, budget, whatever. Sounds like someone with ambitions trying to put the “little lady” in her place. HA! Wrong woman.

    And what’s the deal with a police officer with a gun keeping his job after making death threats? That alone should have gotten that one fired.

    WHO IS CHRISTY PELOSI TO TALK ON BEHALF OF OTHER WOMEN? HER MOTHER IS THE SPEAKER OF THE CURRENT HOUSE WHO CAN’T EVEN AKNOWLEDGE THER WERE KIND OF SEXISM GOING ON IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.IT IS A SHAME TO HAVE SUCH PEOPLE TALKING ON BEHALF OF THE REST OF US.WHAT DOES THE CLOWN OF CHRISTY PELOSI KNOW ABOUT WOMEN RIGHTS?
    YESTERDAY,THEY WERE AGAINST HILLARY,TODAY THEY ARE AGAINST SARAH.WHAT DO THEY WANT? ASK THEM WHAT THEY WANT.SARAH PALIN AS VICE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY IS NOT GOING TO BE A STEP BACKWARD FOR WOMEN OR WOMEN RIGHTS,BUT JUST A KIND OF CHALENGE AND EMANCIPATION FOR ALL WOMEN,EXCEPT FOR THE PELOSI.SHAME ON THEM.
    TO FINISH,I ASK ALL WOMEN ACCROSS THE NATION TO PROVE THEM WRONG IN VOTING MASSIVELY TO ELECT JOHN MCCAIN AND SARAH PALIN AS PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT IN NOVEMBER.MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.YOU ARE OUR MOTHERS,OUR WIVES,OUR DAUGHTERS…ETC,AND WE GENTLEMEN ARE STRONGLY SUPPORTING YOU
