A Sarah Palin Christmas

Fear not, the Huntress is coming!

Absolutely heartwarming, Larry.  And totally unexpected!  I’ll bet your jaw dropped when they told you what they wanted to watch.

S’funny…all through the day on Thanksgiving, as I was mixing stuffing, cooking turkey, mashing potatoes, I kept thinking of Sarah up in her own kitchen in Wasilla doing exactly the same thing. 

Sarah Palin is us.

Too bad they’re not old enough to vote.

Love it…thanks for the story.

It is becoming more and more evident how Sarah Palin and her family resonate with a wide variety of people.  You know, people like us!

People like her because she’s the real deal.  No pretense.  No “talking points”.
And after reading her first book, I REALLY fell in love with the woman.
She loves her family.
She loves her country.
What’s not to love about her? (okay, she needs a vocal coach, but no one’s perfect).

Katmoon and I watch the show when we can find it. Unlike other “reality shows” that are neither, this one is interesting for all the right reasons. You know, if civiilization were to collapse tomorrow, Palin and her family would survive, which is more than I could say about many American families.

What’s not to like about Sarah?  She’s beautiful, clever, smart, interesting, funny, self-confident, and a good mother.  In many ways, she has it all.  But that doesn’t mean that she has what it takes to run a country in very deep trouble. (I think most of us are still oblivious to how much trouble we are in–look at the last international educational survey for example,)

We’ve been down that “popular and attractive” road in 2008….and look where we are.

I watched an episode about a month ago and one of the most striking features of the show to me was how little time a baby with special needs required. She told the girls to wave at him through the window once.  He was with a gray haired lady.  I never saw any interaction with mom. No wonder the other kids were so rude and obviously resentful of their situation.

Sarah Palin talks family values but her time is spent doing this show, constantly on her Blackberry, working at a computer or doing her Fox show out in her studio. 

I don’t have kids and have never been around them much. This is so refrshing to hear. I thought we had lost them to the MTV’s and VH1′s of our world.

There’s hope.

Yes for the vocal coach…. but otherwise do not change a thing about the woman. I really like her and completely trust her judgement in time of crisis.
Plus there is no doubt in my mind she loves America, which is not the case for most of the members of the administration in place, Obama first in line.

Spot on. I have no problem with those who hunt for reasons other than collecting a trophy. I hunted game bird for many years because I like the taste of wild pheasant and quail. Moreover, meat purchased at a bigbox grocery store is often bland and quite uninteresting and is adulterated with all sort of unsavory chemicals.

I saw a comment that her father has a bumper sticker on his car, (not verbatim)—Vegans are People that Can’t Shoot!  Love it.

Tricia, I know perfectly well the kind of trouble we are in. Globalism is a reality most Americans are still ignoring. I don’t. And I am ready to fight it to most of my abilities. And so would Sarah. There is not a ounce of New World Order crap in the woman.

What about a Palin/Trump ticket for a “restoring America” vision?

Paid much for this “opinion”?

Let’s face it, life today is not what we are used to and we need someone  to arouse the WARRIOR in us, Sarah does that
==================
Amen. In the progressive world, we cower in line in airports while being serially irradiated or sexually molested by a government run amuck; Our civil liberties are stripped of us; ugly signage is posted everywhere stating what we can’t do; we prefer feeling safe to being free; we’d rather have the government run our lives than take a chance on actually living. In the progrsssive world, those things that make life worth living are sacrificed at the altar of the God of Security. Progress? My ass.

We’ve been down that “popular and attractive” road in 2008….and look where we are.
===================
That is true but we are where we are now because the electorate always confuses style with substance and format with content. To the contrary, Sarah is not about appearances but about bedrock substance and content and that pisses her opponents off. Yet they criticize her for the same irrelevant characteristics for which they praised the shifty bamboozler in the White House. And like That One, the screaming memies on the left can’t get her out of their tiny little heads.

Who said? Dead people voted in 2008!

SARAH PALIN:

“THE SPIRIT OF 1773″

Sarah Palin WILL NEVER BE OUR PRESIDENT, NEVER.  I have a 16 year old grandson  with Republican instincts, but Sarah Palin IS not anywhere in his political convertation.  As matter of fact I have noticed that this is a Party with NO ONE who will be a threat to Obama….DANG IT. 

I was shocked the other day when Obama JUST LEFT for a christmas party and left Bill Clinton to handle HIS news conference.  Who  IS in charge here, the Speaker of house or even the soon to be Speak of the house?  Seriously and I’ve read remarks from others that wonder if he WANTS to have second term. 

2012, some parents might consider listening to their children before they vote!

Sarah Palin WILL NEVER BE OUR PRESIDENT, NEVER.  I have a 16 year old grandson  with Republican instincts, but Sarah Palin IS not anywhere in his political convertation.
==================
No offense, but a sixteen year-old is not representative of the Republican party. I’m not a Republican (or Democrat any longer) but have Palin as one for whom I could vote.

Dang it! Either I either lose my name to the “my site click to edit” or misspell it.

Eeeww…..yeah. Given the choice between passively standing in line at an airport waiting for my sexual harrassment to occur or following Palin to Sanctuary is an easy decision to make.

LOL!!!!!

EX….CUSE ME, butta WHO was in charge on 9/11?????  WHO WAS IT that DIDN’T PROTECT OUR COUNTRY?   Who was in charge when we attacked the country of Iraq, who had nothing to do wih 9/11…WHO?????  Who brought us the HOME LAND SECURITY?  Who was it that complained that Democrat’s were weak, and wouldn’t protect us?  YOU CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAY’S…

Convertation, huh? That’s an interesting slip. Palin is actually busy leading the convertation at this very moment, converting the Republican party into a people’s party that can and will be held accountable.

Never say never.

A better question would be, “Who is continuing the unconstitutional processes started by the Bush Administration and who is augmenting them with government-sponsored sexual molestation and other such felonious acts”?

I neither liked not voted for Bush but he is not the issue any longer because what he did is no longer relevant. What That One is currently doing IS relevant and must be stopped.

Apparently, “Guest” has not seen much of this series.  Sarah, and her children, are frequently shown together.  Not only does Sarah spend a lot of time with Trig, but his siblings love spending time with him.  And, I am pretty sure that “grey haired lady” was his GRANDMOTHER.  Since when is spending time with one’s grandparents a bad thing?  Don’t MANY working families have the grazndparents step in from time to time?

Sheesh.  I swear, she really is damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t…

Oh – anad abt her v. The One.  She has WAY more administrative accomplishments to her name than he ever did when he was elected.  Why the DNC pushed this empty suit, this 100 day US Senator, on everyone is beyond me.  Someone was/is pulling the strings, that’s for sure (and not us – since the majority of us voted for Hillary.  But apparently, “democracy” is a foreign concept to the DNC now.).

Katmoon:  I think you nailed it.  Sarah doesn’t need the left’s help.  She’s completely self-sustaining within her own family and community and not only doesn’t need a government hand-out, but probably wouldn’t take it if it were offered.  That’s how many of us feel and would like our country to return to.  And now she has a very popuar television show that reminds us of what Americans used to do before the government ate our brains and insinuated itself into every aspect of our lives.

Can we imagine what we all could do if we didn’t have to think about the long list of permissions we’d have to get from some gov’t bureaucrat before doing them?

‘Sarah is not about appearances but about bedrock’…LOL   The last election would call your statement a WHITE-LIE, remembering Sarah’s wardrobe and the gabage bags left outside her door waiting for the RNC to come them
pick-up.  Maybe if you barrowed some of SARAH’S designer eyewear you might see HER FOR WHAT IS REALLY IS.  This woman is ONLY INTERESTED IN MONEY HONEY.  She has MADE MILLIONS.  

Ya think if she were the Pres. she’d continue her campaign on FACEBOOK OR THE TWITTER VINE? 

Whatever, NAN. I stand by my comment. I’d rather have Sarah and her perceived warts than That One and his pustulous, real warts.

I love the smell of exploding trolls in the morning.
==============================
That would be the aromatic blend of putrescine and cadavarine.

It sounds like one of our guests is upset because Palin is not being properly “punished with a baby.” When the president said those words, it really clicked in my head how many times the liberal side of the aisle has tried to reinforce that attitude.

If you have a child, you better be tied to that baby 24/7, miserable, poor, and begging us for food stamps. Heaven forbid you actually enjoy that child or do anything to become self sufficient. I hear the same thing about Bristol Palin, she isn’t properly being “punished with a baby.” She’s a single mom, she has no right to run off an earn a few hundred thousand dollars on DWTS! Everyone knows a “good mother” accepts her lot in life and remains dependant on the Dem party tossing a few crumbs her way.

Nan:  With all due respect, and after all, I don’t know you or your views well, I would strongly encourage you to get up to speed on who is occupying the D and R parties.  If I drew you a line graph, up ’til the 2010 mid-terms, both parties were sitting at about the same point in the graph — the Ds were well left of center and the Rs only slightly more right than that, but still definitely left of center on the scale.  The tea party, which now inhabits a significant portion of the Rs (because it wasn’t time to put a 3rd party on the national ballot) are decidedly right of center and the more conservative among us further right than that — maybe even just this side of what the left calls “anarchy”, but what the founders would recognize as their original intent.

I disagree that the mid-terms were a “warning shot” to both parties.  It was an opening salvo on our war against government gone bezerk.  It’s not “their mess,” either.  It’s our mess, because we weren’t paying attention to our government.  Maybe I’m using different words than yours, but meaning the same things.  There’s no way to clean up the mess, whether it was from several years ago or several decades ago.  We must simply replace anyone in gov’t who isn’t on board with the idea that we have a constitution for a reason and that the people want it to be able to rely on those we elect to protect, defend and submit to its authority — not their own.  

Hallelujah!

It’s really true. Elections are more about how you make people feel, rather than policies or campaign promises. That’s kind of a scary reality to face, but people don’t really remember the words you say, they remember how you make them feel. In 2008 Obama made people feel all warm and fuzzy about how post racial they were. He also made dumb people feel like they were smarter than everybody else.

Well two years later, everybody is feeling pretty much like crap, about themselves, about their country, their future. And those who temporary believed they had all the answers are starting to realize they were played for suckers.

You’re correct, Abigail. The 2010 elections represent the initial skirmish in the war against government excess, progressive claptrap, and the New World Order.

yttk, just fyi for what it’s worth – actually it’s the other way around.  Societies have traditionally lived off what they grew in the land – everyone could afford to plant seeds.  When the elite of a country got more money, they started eating meat.  As the country itself prospered more, everyone started being able to eat meat. 

The US is a more affluent country, and even the poor eat meat – at every meal – but another factor is that the meat industry is highly subsidized by the goverment.  If it weren’t, it would be a lot more expensive to buy meat, and once again you would see only the people with more money eating meat.  If you check out the history of countries and their development, you’ll see that meat has historically been associated with the affluent, not the masses.

Ferd, Nan will be sure to fill her 16 year son with hate for Sarah Palin. 
That’s what the Left does best:  spread hate and venom.

Agreed. What has Sarah Palin done in the last two years to change the perception that she has little knowledge about foreign policy issues?

She has chosen the celebrity route to the White House. And I don’t think it will help get her there.

Although she states in her commercials, I’d rather be out here bein’ free than in some stuffy political office,” it’s looking more and more likely she’ll trade in the Alaskan wilderness to campaign for the ultimate stuffy political office, the Oval Office.

One more thing NAN. Sarah is organizing bringing people together at the grass roots level, which is what you call a personal connection she has on Facebook and twitter.
 
Let’s not forget how a community organizer connected!

No comparison really?

Oh good grief! A couple of boys at Larry’s house thinking the governor’s daughter is hot, is certainly not “offensive.”

R-i-g-h-t, you don’t object to Palin just because she’s a woman and yet you’re worried people might vote for her based on sex appeal alone, as if that’s all she has to offer. Palin is not a brand, unlike President Obama, she has an actual record of accomplishments and clear policies that back her up. You try to have it both ways, you don’t like her because of her “many political stances and policies” and yet you try to reduce her to nothing but a brand with sex appeal that’s going to seduce people into voting for her just because she’s “hot.” That’s some pretty blatent sexism, right there.

By the way, candidates have used sex appeal since the beginning of time. The media fawning over Obama’s “glistening muscles and dew kissed skin” everytime he got off the basketball court actually started to get embarassing. Bill Clinton didn’t even require the media’s help, he simply oozes the stuff. George Bush went off to clear brush. John Edwards had 400 dollar hair cuts. And John Kerry? Well, poor guy, he sure tried.

That “One shot” is coming in 2012!

And see, I’ve been a vegan since….32 years.   However, I used to still eat fish, even though that has pretty much ground to a halt.  But I wear leather and I have leather furniture.  It is also MY CHOICE (something liberals hate.  They want to tell you how you should live and attack you if you do something different than they do).  Even not eating meat, I have respect for those who actually eat what they kill.  Much better than the hypocrisy of most others.  And, these cowards that dare not live in the environment that Alaskans live in, so they can pretend to live off the land, but not eat meat, wear leather, buy leather, glue etc  so they can put themselves on a pedestal that only like minds thiink should be on tjat pedestal? lol

Actually she’s putting out policy messages quite frequently. It’s apparent you’re just reciting the talking points and don’t really know whether or not they’re true. You’re being used you know…think for yourself. Listen to politicians speak on their own, read what they write…do more than recite the crap that other people say.

I wasn’t a Hillary supporter until I watched and listened to her speak. Until I got past the so-called media and all the lies they told and tell. She’s remarkable, and so is Sarah. But, it’ll be tough for either of them because misogyny and sexism and emasculated men are so threatened by these strong, smart women that they become obsessed with taking them down.

When she stops giving answers like this I’ll start keeping a more open mind.  
 
 
Glenn Beck: “Sarah, you said in the last few days that you are considering a run for president, and, uh, polls show that you would probably win the Republic nomination. How would you handle a situation like just developed in North Korea”    
   
Sarah Palin: “Well North Korea, this is stemming from, I think, a greater problem when we’re all sittin’ around asking, oh no, what are we gonna do, and we’re not having a lotta’ faith that the White House is gonna come out with a strong enough policy to, um, sanction what it is that North Korea is gonna do. So this speaks to a bigger picture that certainly scares me in terms of our national security policies. But, um, obviously, um, stand with our North Korean allies, we’re bound to by treaty..”    
   
Glenn Beck: “South Korean”    
   
Sarah Palin: “Yeah, we’re also bound by prudence to stand with our South Korean allies, yeah. And uh to remind North Korea we’re not gonna reward bad behavior and we’re not gonna walk away, and we do need to press China to do more to increase pressure on that arena….”  

yep, she just needs a little polish on the speaking skills.  Everythiing else is fine the way it is.

yttik,

I don’t like when people vote on cosmetic grounds, whether it’s giving a good speech or having good aim with a rifle. 

This Palin show certainly *is* branding. Those antlers might as well be gleaming pillars of styrofoam. I dislike both. 

I’m not having it both ways. But it would appear you are: it’s ok for DWTS and P’s AK highlights a certain image, but it’s not ok for the media to show brush clearing, hair cuts, etc. You made my point, I think….the whole branding of presidential candidates is offensive. The only difference here is who controls the message, a made-for-tv ‘promotional’ series or so-called ‘news’ bits about a person’s grooming habits. It’s all media distortion.

We should be judging (potential and actual) candidates on their accomplishments, their values and their stated goals. And that is the ONLY ways I judge Gov. Palin. If you like her values and goals, great. I can’t argue against YOU liking it, but I would argue against some of the goals themselves.

And why are we giving her a pass because shes won’t talk to anyone that can ask her real questions. Just because obama got a pass, does not mean we should be still handing them out to others.

Nan, why don’t you go get some lessons on grammar and pronunuciation before criticizing a Governor who helped conservatives win the mid terms.

Liberals typically are the WORST parents so who are they to criticize Gov. Palin.  PULEEEZZZE TROLLS..are you really that STUPID? Yep, probably.

I just call them as I see them, momule, and I see Donjo as a troll in need of a bridge and a few billygoats, although in a pinch NQ will do for him/her/it.

Again, she only missed because the sights were off on the rifle (it was her dad’s rifle, and he had fallen down previously while carrying it).  When she used her friend’s rifle, it did only take her one shot to sight and shoot.

I don’t eat meat myself (just fish and poultry), and haven’t for 36 yrs, so this was hard for me to watch.  I have deer in my yard every single night.  But – I do not begrudge hunters the right to hunt food to put on their tables.  As she said, it is organic, free range, and necessary to go hunting to maintain healthy populations for generations to come.

Whatever, troll. I have never taken you seriously because you have nothing of suvstance to say. You merely take comments out of context, add your own shallow dreck, and then disappear. Now if you would only disappear permanently. Do rejoin your herd at huffypoo, Bossie.

guest you are an idiot. sarah spends lots of time with her child. come on chris matthews, fess up. we know you by your pathetic style.

hey nan, READ MY WORDS SARAH PALIN WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. SO START PACKING!

guest, you are jealous because sarah has more XXXX than the other one.

Who’s in charge now?  Who has both houses and the executive branch?  Why does it feel like we’re living WGB’s third term?  

Facebooking and twittering would be better than going on lavish vacations, partying, and playing golf.  At least SP’s communiques would not cost taxpayers a dime and it would show her interest in communicating with the people.   Some Presidents choose fireside radio chats; SP would choose twitter and facebook.

Simple minds, simple pleasures… that pretty much sums up the White House’s base. They would function equally without a higher brain at all. Which is good, because they won’t use the higher brain they were born with. They remain stuck at a primal levels. The White House rubs these folks raw at every chance… and they never disappoint.

yeah, what’s with all the anti-palin garbage today? Is it because Sarah’s down in Haiti helping cholera victims in a virtual war zone, and The One can’t even handle the washington press corps?

yeah, what’s with all the anti-palin garbage today?
=================================
The problem is that the drool-bucket-toting obamabots can’t fathom real people performing real acts for real reasons. They live in a twilight world where shadows on basement walls represent all they have ever and will ever know. It’s pitiful.

By the way–thank you, LJ, for writing this timely and appropriate essay. You’re a brave man to post it, especially considering some of the abject idiocy I’ve seen posted here today.

It is very ironic to hear guest say, “a womans place is in the home”. ie…doesn’t spend enough time with her kids….

Nan and Jackie saying ya can’t have it both ways? LOL very funny.

The first week broke a record and it has gone down after that but to LJ’s point of demographics….

MediaBistro.com gave exact numbers as 4.96 million, further breaking down the viewership as 1.8 million adults ages 25-54 and 1.6 million adults 18-49, key demographics for the reality-centric channel.

Actually, I have heard her talking points, thus not liking her as a candidate. See how that works? I find it interesting that the assumption is that if someone doesn’t support her as a candidate, we’re just uninformed or sexist. Haven’t we heard the same crap from the oBots? I’m informed, but also happen to disagree with her on enough points to not get caught up in the media storm around her — one way or the other.

And I’m not interested in “taking her down”, but I’m not at all interested in her as a presidential candidate, either. 

Those who dislike hunting need to take a tour of an abattoir. I do believe minds would be changed rather quickly.

Can we move the White House to Alaska?  Or perhaps a NEW Vantage point for our country from the TOP looking DOWN!  That would get RUSSIA all wee wee’d up!  lmao

She (Sarah) seems to bring out the MAN in most MEN and the WOMEN of most WOMEN!  and she shines a light on those that are merely boys and girls in their little jealous hole in the wall NY or LA.  She has that ability.

I was shocked the other day when Obama JUST LEFT for a christmas party and left Bill Clinton to handle HIS news conference. 

You are shocked, Nan?

Since I have not seen any of your comments to form an opinion of where you are in the political spectrum, with respect, I am curious to know WHY you are shocked.

Ces, I was writing to guest who claimed that Sarah doesn’t speak out on foreign policy or anything of political substance. That’s a flat out lie or mistake, I’m not sure which.

If you listen to candidates, in their own words, and have opinions about them, well of course you’re entitled and I’d respect your opinion. If you make sexist comments or make comments that show that you’re repeating talking points without merit, like guest repeating the ridiculous “north korea” mistake by Palin, then I’ll (and others here) will recognize you or others as talking-point trolls or as sexist idiots.

As I said, that comment wasn’t meant for you, and I totally accept that many non-sexist, knowledgeable people would prefer another candidate over Palin. I myself would, as I’ve said, vote Hillary over Palin anytime. But, I’ll also defend Palin against ridiculous comments like the ones made by guest.

Well said. Excellent point.

I don’t think Sarah would call in Phyllis Schaffly to finish a press conference.  That’s the difference.
Great story Larry. 

As far as I’m concerned love of country should be the first qualification for public office.  If that isn’t actively there (in action, not posing), the rest is irrelevant.

Yeah, it’s so confusing to me the way people relate to caribou but not to fish or insects or rats or mice. If one of the outraged had a rat infestation I’m guessing they’d call in an exterminator without a second thought. If a coyote came down from the hollywood hills and ate one of those purse dogs, I’m guessing it would be excitedly taken down by whatever means necessary. And, aren’t these the same people who buy purebred dogs and cats instead of rescuing the animals that will surely be put down for lack of a good home??

Hypocrisy…Palin has succeeded in getting the caricature of the liberal elite to be claimed by the left as the best way to be: effete, arrogant, elitist, and hypocritical.

Without Hillary, liberals won’t have a chance at power again for the next 50 years.

Have you ever shot a moose, Donjo? Have you been up close and personal?

Do you know that if you  happen to encounter one they are more likely to charge you than not? Try getting one to move of the trail your on. Good luck.

I have. So much mental moose meat, so little time.

Oh, wait ! Go to the Obama web site and judge for yourself how intelligently he is able to think on his feet, articulate the depth of any issue and take a spontaneous non-scripted question or two without parroting talking points, slogans and platitudes.  It speaks volumes. Really.

From back in the day….Sound familiar ??

They tested college graduates on basic knowledge of civics and at the end of college their knowledge had actually decreased. BHO was perfect for the “achieveatron” set who took few risks in life but just did what the elites said. We just saw “Inside Job” the other night and it shows how academic institutions (Harvard, Cal Berkeley) do not require their professors to disclose financial conflicts of interest when publishing papers on a particular subject. What gall! The right should embrace this film as they’re always harping on academia.

What Palin gets is we have become so removed from risk in life that we’re starved. So many kids grow up in front of little screens and see the world from the back seat of their parents’ minivan and don’t get to see if they can survive without all this institutional “safety” that is actually choking us while promising us life. They’re both bored and scared. It is probably thrilling to watch the Palins kill the moose that could feed that big family for an entire winter. Today’s kids are probably also sick of the Jersey Shore set that just consumes and does not give back to society.

People should be aware that Palin sites and Palin herself are being targeted by wikileak supporters in their cyber war.

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2010/12/exclusive-palin-under-cyber-attack-from-wikileaks-supporters-in-operation-payback.html

Rosa, the answer is because she’s politically smart and as long as there isn’t an honest press-corp there’s no value in going in front of obama’s minions to have one’s message distorted. She’s actually in front of media all the time…she’s just not playing obama’s game and you know how infuriating that is for him.

Without a free an independent press we can’t depend on “interviews” to get at the truth at all.

donjo.  Guessing you read Sorkin rather than watching the program.  She didn’t shoot a “moose”…I’m not going to give you the answer, you’ll have to look it up yourself.  Do that much at least, silly.

again shining a light on their  being HUGE hypocrites!!  Their biggest DONKEY VALUE is supposed to be FREEDOM OF THE PRESS yet they continue to TRY and shut down speech that doesn’t back up their ostrich dreams (nightmares for most of us)  huge unethical FREAKS of some OTHER nature!

She knows zilch about caribou hunting.  Take it from a pro: http://turcopolier.typepad.com/sic_semper_tyrannis/2010/12/barbie-the-caribou-killer.html

Joy Behar, Narnia Numbskull  
 
NewsBusters,  
by Tim Graham     
 
Original Article  
 
12/11/2010  
 
On Thursday’s edition of The View, Joy Behar displayed how little she knows Sarah Palin’s favorite authors. As they discussed Palin’s answer to Barbara Walters asking what she reads, and Walters said Palin reads C.S. Lewis for “divine inspiration,” Behar asked “Aren’t those children’s books?”

She wasn’t joking, but she obviously liked the idea that Palin wasn’t smart enough to read “adult books.”

The Narnia books aren’t exactly Dr. Seuss. Behar isn’t educated enough to know about his classic works of nonfiction in Christian apologetics, like Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters.

It was a caribou stag,

The only thing these folks can conceive of is a “dear in the headlights”

The Palins are so good looking and good looks really appeal to regular, breathing normal Americans.  Kardashians and Kate plus 8 wont have regular following if they are not pretty.  Unfortunately for America, that the the future and I am pretty sure the more Sarah wear skirts instead of pant suits (no offense meant for my favorite politician, HRC).. the more she will become appealing to the voters…You think?

and not that a “city person” liberal would know the difference between a moose a caribou stag and a dear in the headlights…..

I hear that for sure, Teak. I’m old enough to realize the importance of history and patience, but young enough to have hope that the pendulum will come back from the extremes once and awhile.

If only Hilary would run again as a primary challenger and get the big backing this time. This is why I don’t want the GOP/TP to stall/filibuster too much. It would give ammo to left-leaning backers to back oBlunder again. If O ‘compromises’ too many times, it could open the door to a real primary challenger. What I’m afraid of though, is that the GOP/TP will go too strong, allowing oBlunder to ALL the dem support and win back some of the moderates. When the GOP/TP are perceived as the party of big biz backed “no”, they lose the all important Middle.

Btw, cheers to you and yours, TeakWoodKite!

You know…those same troops that BO wanted to use as a photo op until the military educated him.

Better hope she doesn’t run.  If Palin runs in 2012, she wins.  The eyeores are trying to say that they like her, but don’t think she’s ready to be President.  This is a ploy by both the left and the Republican establishment.  Problem is that the media couldn’t do anything against her.  The left is self destructing.  And the Republican establishment has been left all to itself to try and get rid of Palin.  The reason they’re scared of her is because she’s intelligent and knows how to win.  After the Republican RINO’s have had their say, she will have no more opponents.

Murdered?  Have you seen the meat in supermarkets?  Yes, they come from animals.  I know it’s unbelievable, but I swear it’s true.  Meat really does come from animals.  So if Sarah had bought her meat at the supermarket, someone would still need to have killed that animal.  Sarah just showed us that she’s able to it herself and not live with the smug satisfaction that if someone else does the job, then you don’t get blamed.  She’s proactive.  She’ll step up and get things done and take responsibility for her actions.

The mix-up isn’t the issue. I was listening to the John Bachalor show a few weeks ago and one of his “smart, sophisticated guests” was talking about the Korean situation, and made the same slip Sarah did.  
 
Even without that, it was her entire really shallow, amateurish response. She really needs to do a LOT better than that if she’s going to become a serious presidential contender. Why conservatives, of all people, would excuse such shallowness is beyond me. So much is always on the line in every presidential election, but 2012 looks to be extraordinarily critical. I’m waiting for Palin to demonstrate unequivocally that she’s no lightweight. Having conservative views is a good start, but by no means enough. We should be demanding more of all the candidates, not excusing their weaknesses.

Larry:  Makes me feel like there is hope for the next generation….

“Say What You Will…It Feels So Good”

Good one. LOL

I’ve only been watching for a generation but Sarah is by far the MOST CLEVER PERSON with some REAL (possibly Devine) TIMING!  jmo! That I’ve ever witnessed!  Pure Raw Talent – not stuffed with fluff and propaganda stuff – All the Clever Animals of the World should bow down to her.  LOL it’s friggen awesome to watch!  And all the flailing about of the far loony (clearly unstable) LEFT and RIGHT!!  It’s like many authors have stated!  She shows up and the truly derranged turn a spot light on over their heads and jump in front of a moving train to show their PDS ignorance!  It’s been such fun watching but I hope she’s watching her back.  I worry.  Some of the Joy Behar Godless Accolytes (sp)

But they ca volunteer!

Good one, Linda!

Sorry, guest (you really stand by your comments with this sign-on, let me tell you.) but, you’ll have to be more specific about what you find to be so shallow about Palin’s comments on issues of north and south korea, climate change, energy policy, obamacare, the recession, taxes and the like. Considering no one has officially declared, yet, and the campaign hasn’t started…Sarah seems to be the only one making any comments of substance (shockingly, this even includes the president.)

You can’t fool us with your “listening to the John Bachalor show.” We can detect irrational Palin hits even when you try to cover them up as reasoned commentary. Although it would be impressive if you listened to the John Batchelor show.

lorac, that was true centuries  and decades ago, but times have changed to a degree.  Years ago, being heavy, pale and eating meat was a sign of wealth. (centuries) Both are correct.  And healthy eating Vegan, vs someone who just stopped eating meat is definiely not the same.

But, Rosa, the point that I was making is that the press are just acting as campaign managers and promoters. Obama didn’t go on OReilly except during the primary and only after the debacle of may 30th and his extortion of delegates. Plus, going on a program, the way Obama did, when they ask things like, “what’s your favorite color?” does nothing for anyone.

No one asks hard questions unless they are working for the other candidate. That’s because journalists don’t exist anymore. Sarah is making herself more available than any candidate right now…she’s putting herself out there in a million ways. You really want her to go on messnbc? Please.

God bless us, everyone!

Thanks for sharing some of your holiday cheer, Larry!  Great story!

Ferd wrote “That is true but we are where we are now because the electorate always confuses style with substance and format with content. To the contrary, Sarah is not about appearances but about bedrock substance and content and that pisses her opponents off. ”

That’s what chaps the liberals women….which also includes the sexist men, butts even more.  They act the same, BITCHIE.

I believe they’re still working on getting our guns.  I saw something recently (can’t find it now) where Hillary was urging Congress to sign on to the UN’s Small Arms Treaty.  We must stay vigilent and keep Congress from passing these UN laws/treaty.

Oh and the other thing chapping liberal women, Sarah is so real, she doesn’t mind getting dirty, roughing it up, not looking glamorous and being seen extremely casual.  To elitists snobs that put on airs and work very long to try to makes themselves look like something they’re not, they get even nastier. LOL

I also call bullshit on your lie that you never voted for Bush.
================
And you would be a stupid little bot for so doing. Apparently you are not only incapable of reading but your corollary comprehension is questionable. You can ask any regular here about my views on Bush, you half-baked moron. And That One, at whose feet you worship, is just Dubya with a tan.

Now, I cordially invite you to go fuck yourself.

An example of an OBOT!! This was mailed to the blog owner of CitizenWells.  An open THREAT to anyone that does not back Obama!!

A commenter by the name of jj jones just sent the following:
“A lakin’s life will be ruined over it and you birthers will be still be on first base.
pitiful losers you are.
seriously though, anyone tries to remove Obama and I promise you we black americans will burn the country to the ground.
don’t test us.”
Any attempt to burn this country by people of any color will be met with a force exceeding “hell hath no fury.”
You do not speak for all Black Americans.
Most have better sense.

Two Prominent Black Georgia Democrats Bolt Party to Join GOP http://gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com/2010/12/two-prominent-black-georgia-democrats-bolt-party-to-join-gop/  

Two prominent black Georgia democrats announced they would bolt the party to join the GOP. The former democrats said their party had become too liberal.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported:
Two African-American Democrats on Thursday announced that they were joining the Republican Party.

We’ll have to agree to disagree in that case. “Stand by our allies” just doesn’t cut it for me…not from somebody who says she could beat the incumbant. It doesn’t seem to make much sense even without the slip. “We do need to press China to do more to increase pressure on that arena. “ If we can’t pressure NK directly then how will be able to pressure China to put pressure on them, especially if they know less about and have less influence over NK than is normally assumed ?

The follow up from Beck should have been – People that are waiting for China to “do something” about NK…like what, exactly? (That’s has been U.S. NK “policy” since 2006!).  
 
It would given her an opportunity to first clarify whether her goal for diplomacy would be to manage North Korea’s nuclear arsenal or to eliminate it. If it is to contain through negotiations, then perhaps touch on the fact that it would be difficult to recover leverage with the Chinese after Bush ended up ceding negotiating power to the Chinese because the US was too involved in Iraq to take measures effectively after earlier provocations.  

I will admit that Sarah is stronger on domestic policy, and on energy matters especially; I listened to some of her interviews last campaign about the ANWR and other Alaskan oil/natural gas production, and she has unmatched expertise in that area.

But for a candidate that is already in a deficit with voters beyond the conservative base, she needs to be able to speak just as comfortably about our Afghan policy, Pakistan, China, Russia, Iran, the Korean peninsula, the Middle East etc. In other words, to become — in very short order — much sharper on worldwide matters. She has to do a far better job convincing moderates and indie voters she`s a serious candidate who has the knowledge and understanding of specific situations, the history, the possible reactions and the likely fall-out of various scenarios that will face whomever is our President after 2012.

It’s always better to be on offense-you have the upper hand. Taking your answers to the next level of depth is the only way to shut them up (critics AND interviewers).

People are not likely to go that nuts unless someone else is providing them a reason, and you can see who is whipping people on both sides into a frenzy. Sadly our CIC is one of the worse for doing this,( how many times has he called AMericans unsavory and negative names, I can start with racist and work my way to referring to politicians in disagreement as hostage takers,,,great example), however I do not recall SP doing same, defending herself yes, calling the fominators for what they are. That makes for a salt in the wound situation for those who disparage anyone who doesn’t have their nose burried up the one’s ass. I get his supporters are serious about that support, but likely is they have no perspective, nor objectivity being so close to the object of their desire. Anyone who worships a political candidate or politician has some serious identity issues of their own. They are like political stalkers, never able to see anything wrong, forever looking at how they agree with everything besoted by their belief they are “intune” with their idol. Not much different than the adoration in a cult IMHO. I didn’t like it with Clinton when he went foolish, I didn’t like it with Bush II, I love Sarah, but it is because of her humaness, her imperfect voice her willingness to try, regardless, in front of people. Then you have Obama, if the show in Alaska had been about him, he would have shot 12 caribou, on cue by teleprompter from osmosis by an aides gun, but he willed it to shoot, all of Berkley would have declared it a holiday, caribou meat would become the new arugula, and he would receive the NPP for saving the world from starvation.

Merry Christmas!  Santa has come early this year.

pick apart?  
 
So you expect a person with critical thinking skills to swallow it whole?  
 
Bash? naw mate it is just kangaroo meat.

unlike some here, I don’t expect or want to change anyones mind, just giving my opinon!  Your critical thinking really hasn’t made you any better person than the obama backers,that we called elete! you think my opinion isn’t as important as yours?  we all get  to have our say, we all get to vote but apparently its only if you are an obot or a palinbot  ,{same difference} that it matters.   At least I am not a hateful critical thinker like  some of you!   I can think of people, I disagree with ,without sinking to your level.

Larry, I feel this was a set up. Palin got to those boys through a 3rd party after finding out about your party. She paid them off. This is what happened because…uh…it’s the only reason that makes sense. 

Sincerely,
The DailyKos

lmao

I hate politics. I have been there and done that. I am not impressed with Sarah Palin. So what her family might be able to survive in a crisis. I know many people who can. None of that means anything. Being the former Governor of Alaska (who resigned) while good experience is no where near the experience needed for the Presidency of the United States. Matter of fact, we have shopping malls that have more population and issues than the State of Alaska. Do I think she is stupid? No not at all. Do I think she is ready for a run as President? I did not think Obama was ready and I certainly do not think she is ready at this time.

Did Sarah keep repeating “stand by our allies” over and over again without saying anything else? Have you read the other things she’s written and said about north and south korea? This was a glenn beck (for god’s sake) discussion.

Which potential candidate for 2012 has answers that you like to these questions? Let’s hold all possible candidates to the same standard, right. Or maybe you just have pent up outrage at Obama because he hasn’t answered any of these questions, gone in front of a press corp and been able to outline a strategy for addressing NK provocative attack on SK. Sarah isn’t president, yet, it’s bobo…he’s the one who has to answer your questions the way you want them answered.

LOL. Next up: Pelosi calls out the Sarah’s Alaska astroturfers and demands a congressional investigation. 

I beg to differ. We have done the lifetime pollitician thing and that has failed miserably. We’ve tried the folksy Texan twice and those administrations failed miserably. We’ve elected a peanut farmer from Georgia and a New World Order dink–all to no avail. Indeed, we’ve tried everything but elect one of us. Perhaps it is time to try something really different–not a man and not a career politician.

(and I wish that “my site click to edit” shit would stop)

I believe Obama is and always has been dangerous, he thinks he knows everything, and proceeds as same.
====================
Yep–invincible arrogance and invincible ignorance are truly troublesome characteristics in a president. We just rid ourselves of one suffering from both but got yet another. We all know what Socrates thought about a wise man and he was correct.

guest, your very confusing. Nothing wrong in wanting qualified candidates.

I am of the opinion that Gov. Palin has more common sense than BO has inclination to speak from the podium with any gravitas.

Your inference that Sarah Palin has no FP experience is curious, and therefore not qualified to be POTUS, an actor, a peanut farmer, a sex addict, a failed buisnessman and a con artist is what we have had for POTUS….

I concur, ces. That being said, we will never get responsible government from the democrats, unfortunately (and I was one for 32 years). They have this erroneous idea that the money I earn is theirs to spend on crap that I neither ask for nor want. The Republicans are almost as bad, to boot. Until the American public demands more for less and demands accountability, we’ll never get the government envisioned by the founders. We don’t need more of anything except responsibility, accountability, and equal protection and prosecution–jail time for those who do not live up to either.

rosa, most of these “interviewers” want to tape the interview then they have a chance to edit, edit, edit.  Sarah can never be caught in that trap again.  That’s why she’s live on Fox.  Until they want to play the game straight and give up on the “gotchas”, there’s absolutely no reason for Sarah to cooperate with their mission to try to humiliate her. 

Btw, we’ll see if she’s up to speed during the debates…that’s when I’ll choose.

Also one of her reasons for setting up her office and studio close to home.  If she had to fly out to Anchorage to film…well, that wouldn’t work.

Jackee: looks like your prez left you at the podium too trying to sell his “accomplishments.” what did he have to run to another party?

Stop the carrying the water fest!

What I care about is that her response lacked substance. It was pure drivel. She does that a lot, unfortunately. Tries to give glib superficial answers to substantive questions. I don’t care who else does it, who else flubs up, etc. This woman potentially could be the Republican nominee two years from now. I want to see growth in the substance of her FP interviews and pronouncements. So far I’m not seeing it.

What constitutes a “common sense” solution, by the way, when it comes to Korea ? Someone who would rather be caribou hunting than sharpening and deepening her knowledge, message, and image on the issue ?

I wish the Palin Cultists would let their personality cult open up a bit to allow such things to happen. Rather than admit she could grow, however, many seem to prefer she remain ignorant that would acknowledge she’s less than a saint.

Voting for a black man made them feel that they were high minded people full of noblesse oblige.  They wanted to feel that they were “good” people ready to take this big leap and even while looking down their noses, show the rest of us that they knew best…even if they hadn’t been on the planet long enough to discern that they were being taken for a ride.  They showed how little they actually were/are by thier sanctimonious, self-righteous finger pointing to anyone who wouldn’t go along.

rosa, may we once and for all dispense with the liberal lie that Sarah hunts from a plane?  She doesn’t shoot wolves and didn’t even pass the law that allows for them to be thinned out…that was her predecessor.

Palin 2012!

That’s right ces…and Hillary (and Bill) are the defacto leaders of “liberal” version of the tea party. Hillary campaigned for almost 2 years against obama…she, and her supporters, made a case against him when no one else would. No other democrat argued as strongly against Obama as Hillary. She’s the only one, IMO, that gives dems a chance because she’s the only one who can say, in essence, I told you so.

It’ll be interesting to see, early on, if Democrats (assuming there is a primary fight) are willing to get behind the most likely nominee even if it’s Hillary. I sure as hell hope so.

Say, what’s the name of our 57th State again?

Wow, Jackie, you really like Obama don’t you? It’s amazing to me that you and I, both democrats, look at Obama and see completely different men.

I absolutely support Lily Ledbetter, and the Lily Ledbetter Act, however the rest of those items are abject failures in my view. Obamacare is horrible and has done nothing but raise rates for the insured (at least my rates have gone up in every category.) And, I can’t even fathom that women’s rights were ever sacrificed in the supposed name of compromise –it makes me nauseas.

The rest are republican strategies…and so I’m not sure why you think they’re great, except that, it seems, you just love the guy.

Ces, I agree that Hillary is a stateswoman, but I think she’s got way more fight in her than Kerry did. She’s just so dang smart, that I feel confident she could campaign against Palin and expose Palin’s weaknesses. No, she wouldn’t spend time making fun of Palin for caribou hunting or eating meat, she’d say she thinks that’s awesome and she respects that…which is what liberals would be doing if they had any smarts about them…and Hillary wouldn’t be prattling on about a gaffe the way obama supporters do, here…Hillary would, I suspect, talk substantively about the economy and the crisis in healthcare and the problems we face in national security and then explain how she proposes to address the issues at hand. That’s what Hillary did in the primary and, well, even with the dem leadership, all the media, republicans and the left, and all the soros money working to  drive her from the race she still managed to win more votes than obama. I’ve said it before — there isn’t a politician in the game who could do what Hillary did.

Great story! If the Obots hate Sarah, thay means we should vote for her.

I like your optimism!! From your lips to her ears! 

seattlegonz –  do you mean RINO’s?, because Palin is the champion of the conservatives.  They’re not trying to smear her.

Sorkin doesn’t like Palin?

You mean the half-wit writer who used to shtup the hideous Dowd woman?

What a ma-roon!!!

His questionable talent ran out with Sportsnight.

Helen, I am not sure I am defending Palin….that would practicing the dark arts and I might be accused of doing something heritical. LOL.

Hi Abigail…conservatives is too broad a term, but I don’t use RINO’s because that, to me, doesn’t really identify who is being talked about either, You’re right though, conservatives isn’t the right word.

There are many republicans (conservatives) that don’t like Palin. The bottom line is that whether talking about democrats or republicans there are men and women in both parties, and the press, that really don’t want women to be in power, and certainly don’t want a woman to be president.

“early on both Dodd and Fiengold were going to filabuter / place a hold on the re-authorization of the Patriot Act. They folded like lawn chairs when the landscapers mowed the grass.”

And that event taught you to…”Vote Republican!”.

Oh, please. I don’t want Obama OR Palin. If they are our only 2 choices, then as far as I am concerned it’s a “Heads you win, tails I lose” situation.

I’m talking about how you just love Obama and give him a pass even when he acts just like GW Bush.

Obamacare is awful. Do you get that? It’s awful, awful, awful…a terrible piece of legislation that has done nothing except help insurance companies.

Seattlegonz is right on about women candidates for president.In the case of Hillary the establishment of the party saw a way to solidify the African American vote  with Obama.Of course Hillary would have won the presidency but race trumps gender(at least women).
The interesting question is why women didn’t support Hillary in the numbers you’d expect in light of her record, extraordinary intellect and experience in a successful presidency given the dire state of the economy.

There is absolutely no question that  Sarah Palin holds a fascination for millions of people    watch the show.My husband really likes her and appreciates her (as an outdoorsman all his life). I’m from a demographic the pollsters would insist can’t stand her but I actually like her and bristle at the attacks made on her.Let’s see 5 kids,former governor,long term partnership with her husband,loving relationship with her parents, hunts,fishes. The comments here about her elocution are a stretch.It doesn’t bother people in the land of plain spoken Harry Truman.
That’s the kind of democrat I’ve been for 35 years .Give me that kind of democrat again and I’ll vote for them.Not biting with the Obama is better than fill in the blank scary woman or old guy.
Mainstream republicans fear her because they don’t get her.They want one  of their own to be president .Nothing will change if another incrementalist is ensconsed in power because they have no guts.

I wish Hillary would try again but can’t blame her for saying forget it. Obama has African Americans  who will not desert him.It is understandable but it renders a primary challenge a lost cause.

Well either of those tickets would be mighty exciting…but, I think the dems might make the primary tough for Sarah by running 3rd party shills in the gop primary and getting the media to bolster them up. Obama knows who he wants to run against (Romney I think) and he’ll do everything he can to make sure he has his way. He has many covert operations and the best opposition researchers around. He’ll play dirty.

Now, if he decides not to run, and Hillary does, then he might try to get the best gop candidate around, a Palin let’s say, just so Hillary will have a tough time winning. He’s just mean and vindictive that way.

Yet if Bristol stayed home, lived off of welfare and food stamps, and sat around watching TV all day she would be vilified for that as well.

Sarah Palin would be skewered for not helping her daughter and grandchild.

It may be the 21st century but some attitutdes remain unchanged.  It’s always the mother’s fault. Same old themes:

She’s not spending enough time with her kids.

She’s spending too much time with her kids and smothering them.

Why is she stay-at-home mom when she could have a career?

If she has a career she’s neglecting her children.

These attitudes have been around a long time.  Nuthin’ new under the sun.

When Obama escalated the war in Afghanistan shortly after receiving the Peace Prize I laughed -at first.  Then I cried at the stupidity of it all.

Speaking of apoligizing for America it’s not just folks here at NQ and other sites that have that view.  I’ve read foreign press that called what Obama did “his America apology tour”.  That’s been said by friend and foe alike.  The problem our friends, that do love America, found it offensive.  Our foes?  They ate it up and saw it as a sign of weakness.

That ain’t good.

I knew the attacks against Hillary had gone too far when you had people like Hannity, O’Reilly, Limbaugh, and even Karl Rove defending Hillary. 

When the same people that spent years vilifying both Clintons came to her defense you know something is rotten in Denmark.

-
One little item everybody is forgetting:

WILL OBAMA QUALIFY FOR A SECOND TERM?

Already one state (can’t remember which right now) has passed a law for
this and it is my understanding that all 50 have to agree or the person is
not able to run for president’s office.

Will Obama be able to qualify in 2012 without Pelosi’s OK?

Like you creeper I was surprised at this. Actually I was stunned!

Perhaps the American People have finally come to realize that there are a lot of us out here who aren’t members of the “elite” Harvard educated Political Class and yet still are competent and capable.

Sarah Palin is a hell of a lot more “us” than most pols and that seems to be resonating in the damnest places.

If nothing else she is worth the value of watching liberal heads explode everytime her name is mentioned.

Sarah Palin’s American exceptionalism drives liberals nuts

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2010/12/10/104787/commentary-sarah-palin-plays-up.html

You know the other reality?  They left in Sarah’s shooting, she and producers didn’t edit it out, for ALL to see.   If Barry even attempted such an experience, they would have edited it to remove all his missed shots and then still had to show only the shot and the animal, as Barry would never be able to hit it himself.  Remember, he didn’t even go in the ocean on his hyped up trip to FL after weeks avoiding and playing at Martha’s Vineyard.  Yep, he went to an inland lake to get photos of him playing in water with his daughter. rofl  What a LOSER!

Palin also accepted thousands if not millions from special interests as Governor of Alaska.

The overarching problem is with us the voters, not he demographics or background of the politicians. And prior to this administration, we didn’t hold people accountable and we didn’t pay attention and we didn’t ask the right questions of our officials and of the people sitting in positions, our elected leaders. We all need to be paying closer attention, and making sure we understand, so we don’t, as you say, I guess, fall into the bubble and don’t read the signs properly.

Sarah Palin and the  
Haters of American Normal  
   
American Thinker,  
by Stuart Schwartz     
 
Original Article  
 
12/13/2010   
 
We are just south of Christmas, and the nation’s insiders — self-proclaimed blue-bloods by birth and/or worldview — have declared open season on Sarah Palin.  
 
(Snip) And that “sunny disposition” sets them off, for Sarah Palin is a fiery red poker plunged into the pasty white of the collective metrosexual gut. Elizabeth Wurzel, the best-selling author who blogs for the Atlantic, howls with pain at the realization that Palin is actually “the most visible working mother and female politician in America, that she is the best exemplar of a woman with an equal marriage, that she has put up with….

SARAH PALIN’S HAITI TRIP:    
   
FOX EXCLUSIVE & TOUR SECURITY SPARK MEDIA RESENTMENT    
 
   
FoxNews    
Dec. 12, 2010  
   
Even though AFP points out that Sarah Palin’s  low profile visit to Haiti, “was tightly controlled for security reasons” mainstream media  reporting  reflects snide resentment for lack of access to Palin.    
   
The Associated Press reports the Franklin Graham mercy mission to Haiti, in which  photos show that gifts for children were  hand delivered, as “tightly stage managed” with “access on her tour solely to the U.S. cable network Fox News.”    
 
Either the Associated Press was ill informed or incredibly mean spirited because it was widely known, and even announced on Greta’s website that she was not going to Haiti as a Fox News employee; therefore, she was not going for exclusive access to Sarah Palin either. Here’s what Greta had to say:    
 
By the way, I am going to go with Reverend Graham to Haiti this weekend.  This is not intended to be a Fox / ON THE RECORD at 10pm trip but simply a good way for me to spend my weekend.  I intend to help.  I will also shoot some video (with the help of OTR Producer Justin Wells who is also volunteering to go) and take some pics to post here on GretaWire so that you get a closer look on what is going on next door to us.  I know that many of you would like to go and help and can not.    
   
Although The Associated Press (who did not announce they were in Haiti volunteering their time) questionably  reported the tour as “her tour”, meaning Palin’s, instead of Graham’s, they  eventually made it clear that it was Graham, not Sarah Palin,  who asked them to leave for “security reasons”. Therefore, it also follows that it wasn’t  a personal  Sarah Palin decision to deny them access as they first inferred:    
 
Graham’s organization, Samaritan’s Purse, refused to discuss Palin’s itinerary with other media and asked Haitian and American reporters to leave its compounds, citing a “security lockdown.    
How far mainstream media backed off is uncertain, wonderful photos, credited to AP, of the tour are popping up  over the web.    
   
Governor Sarah Palin, in Haiti with her daughter, Bristol and husband Todd,  joined Franklin Graham to deliver gifts to the children and check on clinics in Haiti – all part of an  sorely needed  outreach by Samaritan’s Purse, to this very impoverished country beseiged by more problems than most Americans can imagine.    
   
It is assumed that  AP  wanted to interview Sarah Palin as a potential presidential candidate -  instead of the caring woman,  Sarah Palin, a concerned  American, who  has herself, tightly kept this trip under wraps. Her very secrecy points to   what may have been  a gallant attempt to lessen distraction from the very worthy, heart rending cause.    
   
The most quotable statement from Palin has been regarding the touching “joy” of the people of Haitia in the face of both political unrest and a devastating cholera epidemic.  After seeing their response, Palin, couldn’t help but compare how “fortunate” Americans are. She  added her gratitude that “Samaritan’s Purse is still here doing the tough work.”

There is no comparison between Palin and Schaffly (whom I object to on almost all levels).  Palin not only embraces feminism, but redefines it; Schaffly condemns it.

Unbelievable!  The Dems had both Houses and the Executive branch — not to mention the support of the public and a even sycophant media — and they still didn’t reverse GWB’s policies!  Give me a break!  At a certain point the Neo-Dems and Progs have to take responsibility for their failures.  Instead of  worshiping at the throne of Obama, the Dems should have held his feet to the fire.  But noooooo, all the your side ever did was pump up your Balloon Boy.   If BO and his policies are full of hot air it is the Left’s fault.

Oh Lordy, Jackie!  If all you see on that list is BO’s legislative “successes” then I feel sorry for you.  You’ve just enumerated the many disastrous policies BO has inflicted on this country for generations to come — all to the benefit of the greedy corporations, bankers, and war-mongering forces behind this puppet President.  Lordy, Lordy,…tsk, tsk, tsk…..  

She may very well be anorexic, makeji.  Anorexics will often use the excuse of “vegetarianism” or “staying away from unhealthy food” to keep from eating.  

BO’s Ledbetter Act has no teeth in it without the Equal Pay Act to enforce it.  It was just theater for BO with no real commitment to economic equality for women.

Awww….it thinks I’m its sweatheart….

Yeah I have wrren for my 3 oclock… I’l metion it to him.

Love Sarah Palin; admire her; she can’t beat Obama in 2012. 

But Mitt Romney can, says McClatchyDC:

Please note: I’m not endorsing Romney, just sayin’ 

Personally, I wish Ron Paul could win; but I don’t think he could either. 

It was a harbinger of things to come Jackie. Yes, it was a learning moment. I at the time thought, especially with Fiengold, he was a man of his word.

Hello to you, sg.  Well, in the circles I travel, “conservative” means those who wish to conserve the ideals of the founders and return this country to rule of constitutional law.  Their only connection to libprog social issues is that these issues be considered dispassionately under the scope of the constitution and has nothing to do with special interests — acting on behalf of either political party, or any political party — circumventing the just path of our constitutional directives.  It’s when anyone decides legislation, from the town hall to the halls of congress, while skirting the will of the people, the consent of the governed, that we run afoul of the bedrock of our supreme law of the land.  Justice is blind.

On the woman-as-president, I think this is coming more from the libprog base than anywhere else.  But wherever it’s coming from I don’t think we can attribute it to political affiliation — it comes from sexism, and from men and women alike.  I was an ardent supporter of HRC up to the very end.  At one time I championed her run in 2012, but no more.  It’s not because of her gender, it’s because of her fealty to the D party, her socio-political ideologies and those with whom she has close political and social ties.  I will not vote for a woman just because she’s woman any more than I would vote for anyone just because they are a particular gender or skin color.  That’s identity (or mascot) poltiics.

I think we have to be careful or consider carefully what we mean when we say they don’t want a woman to be president.  It’s the same malarkey that was said against anyone who objected to Obama – they don’t want a black man to be president.  I’d hate for us to continue this slide into the abyss just because we had to satisfy everyone’s false twinges of conscience over whether or not we are sexist, just as we (empirical “we”) had to satisfy ourselves that we aren’t racists.

As a tea party patriot, I don’t care if the next stellar candidate is a sex-change transvestite so long as they are lovers of the constitution, can recite the Declaration of Independence from memory (every last word) and won’t put up with any horsesh*t from those who would like to see us follow the example of the socialist EU.   

I still can’t figure out where this “Obama is brilliant,” came from.  At almost every turn, he has shown utter moronic qualities.

SAVE US TOO!

Signed,

THE MICE

Too true. After all, we black folks is mongrels! So sayeth the great lord, emancipator, and community organizer Obama.

Imagine the outcry if Palin had said that.

Hey! Maybe that’s why Obama didn’t the poor black folk in his own district in Chicago. You know, the ones being screwed over by slumlords that Obama took money from for his campaigns.  They’re just mongrels ya know.

What is important is that Palin is an American First and puts America first!  With that as her prism, she can’t go wrong on foreign policy.

Obama wants to run against Romney. You’ll see a ton of stories about Palin not being able to win but Romney being able.

“Obamacare is awful. Do you get that? It’s awful, awful, awful…”

Surprisingly, even after the 3rd awful, I still don’t get that…

Actually, I’m the kind of person that would be rescuing others…even you.

It stuns me that you view obamacare as a rescue to anyone. do you work for a company that received a waiver? Is that why you think it suceeds?

You’re right, there was no need to repeat myself 3 times, I was just flummoxed by your supposed list of democratic successes. I’m a democrat, and have been horrified by Obama’s governance because he has abandoned every democratic principle I hold dear. Mandatory health insurance is not a democratic healthcare plan because it only serves big business, doesn’t help the disenfranchised it just makes them criminals, and it doesn’t address a financial probllem.

Does everyone who drives a car wear a seatbelt? The answer is no. But, it’s the law, and it’s free to do, just a minor inconvenience. If we can’t get everyone to wear a seatbelt how do you propose getting everyone to buy health insurance, especially when they don’t have money?

Abigail: I understand where you’re coming from. I’m just a liberal, or a progressive (the pre-obama kind, a clinton democrat, a fiscal conservative, who knows what the right label is for me now) and think, obviously, that it’s possible to be apalled by what the current democratic party is doing and has done, to think that the legislation passed is not reflective of true progressive ideals.

So even if we strip away all the effed up mess of obama and obamacrat party we still might not land in the same spot on the spectrum of ideaology, but it would be a respectful conversation.

NONSENSE, she’s the only one that CAN beat Obama in 2012.

Reality, when the rest of Americans, ie, not us who already know, start seeing the real Sarah, her numbers climb.  She is the one stark opposite of Obama/Bush.

She wins.

Even Arianna Huffington just agreed to that today on the Wendy Williams show.

Well, to break things down a little as they stand now: her opinion poll favorability numbers are slightly over 20 and his approval ratings the low 40′s. So for Palin to beat Obama third party candidate would have to run.  And it would have to be a perfect storm of  the economy not recovering, Obama not rebounding in the polls and the Republicans picking Palin.

And even under that narrow scenario, if a spoiler like Bloomberg DID get in the race it would most likely take votes from the Republican and hand the White House back to Obama.Whether he asked for it or not. lol

OOps that’s “didn’t help the poor black folk”.

Whoever the media says is the “republican who can WIN” is the Republican that CAN’T win.  

I wouldn’t listen to anything said by the media, nor anyone they endorse. 
EVER.

Don’t forget all the pictures of Reagan riding on his ranch. 

The Israeli’s will greet her as a heroine.  That will definitely be a trip I’ll watch closely.

I’m older than the hills, and I love Sarah, and Sarah’s right – Have you seen Todd – y’all watch the young chicks, I’m watching Todd.
