McCain’s ‘Hail Sarah’ Pass

Sarah Palin began her campaign by putting her five children, and her future grandchild, albeit hidden under the babys blanket, right on stage next to her. She continously talks about her son in the military and her down syndrome baby, using these two children in a blatent attempt to further herself and the Republican Party. Then when news of the pregnancy of her unwed 17 year old hits, she, and the Republicans, spin around and claim that " children are off limit". Well, which is it, are you using your children in the campaign or not? Or is the truth that you are using the children when it works to your advantage, and then demanding privacy for them when it does not. Very disengenious, and very uncaring about the lives of your children. If this woman would use her children this way, what won't she do.

How about a female supporter of the man above the fray candidate barry:

Comment: American wake up and donot elect this pair please!!!. Do you want a clueless VP who will promote how their 17 year olds should have sex and babies.

Why is there never included a reason WHY people should vote FOR barry?

And it just keeps getting better and better:

Three months before she was thrust into the national political spotlight, Gov. Sarah Palin was asked to handle a much smaller task: addressing the graduating class of commission students at her one-time church, Wasilla Assembly of God.
Her speech in June provides as much insight into her policy leanings as anything uncovered since she was asked to be John McCain's running mate.
Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.
"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."
Religion, however, was not strictly a thread in Palin's foreign policy. It was part of her energy proposals as well. Just prior to discussing Iraq, Alaska's governor asked the audience to pray for another matter -- a $30 billion national gas pipeline project that she wanted built in the state. "I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that," she said.

Comment: Why should we vote for mccracker and a woman whose daughter can't keep her panties up? And Obama didn't use coke for yerars (sic), either. You must be thinking of mccracker's dope-stealing wife.

So this is a last ditch effort to bring an ex-beauty queen to possibly occupy the highest seat in the land? Who's next Mary Poppins?

Barack Obama is one of the smartest politicians in the last 50 years to run for the presidential office. When you look at the current president, makes you smile. His compassion and leadership skills will lead this country to prosperity. Example, look how he ran his campaign? The envy of all the compatriots. Based on performance and example, why is there even a question? John McCain, even though he served his country well, was captured and tortured for five years. Must have an impact on judgement, so we can't blame him for picking Sarah. What we can blame him for , is refusing to admit when he is wrong. Jonjon....you may go to bed now.

Only children and the childish will blindly assume that change is for the better. Things can get worse. Weimar Germany was a shambles and then they had someone take charge and move the country "forward." Czarist Russia was in need of change...they got it!

Obama is an empty suit who is lost without his teleprompter...Hillary cleaned his clock in their so-called "debates" and then he ducked John McCain and any forum where he might have to think on his feet.

So far from bringing people together, Obama has never had the courage or character to break with his party line or the interest groups therein. McCain fought Bush and Rumsfeld publicly over Iraq and worked with Democrats against the Bush administration on numerous issues: campaign finance, immigration reform, Anwar, Guantanamo, to name a few. When asked about his record, Obama cites working with Dick Lugar against nuclear nonproliferation. My, such boldness ! You don't know whether to laugh or cry listening to such inane drivel. McCain's a man...Obama is a boy.

To be sure, McCain is too old. It's a pity he got savaged by Bush and Rove back in 2000. But better late than never. And far better for the country that the checks and balances operate by not having the Executive and Legislative branches in the hands of ideologues of the same persuasion. An unchecked Nancy Pelosi is the best argument I know against Obama.

So McCain made a political move with Palin to grab some of the "change" and "just plain folks" mantra from Obama and make obvious that this will not be a third term for Bush. It is amusing to hear the arguments that she is not "ready on day one." Of course, she's not! But what is more frightening: the contingent possibility that she will be called upon to be ready or the absolute certainty that Obama would be, if he were elected? Any sane person would rather take their chances with a Vice President learning on the job than a President who had to!

As an American, I am embarrassed and insulted by the lot of you. I sit here and read these comments, many ranting and raving about why the other guy is no good. But not one of you people has ever stood up and said "This is it, this is all you have to offer?" to both political parties. It is because of people like you, who refuse to challenge the political machine to give us better candidates (which is the only way we can change the quality of our elected officials) that the leadership of this great nation will remain mired in the swamp of mediocity for many, many years to come. You extole the miniscule virtues of your candidate soley to point out that the other guy is wrong or bad or evil or whatever you decide to ramble about - as long as it is negative about the other guy. I for one find both positives and negatives in both candidates, asi I have stated before, and as a veteran, I understand leadership. If I were still on active duty, I would be very nervous to have either of these two men as my CO. As a PFC in the Army or Marines, you have no choice of who your CO is going to be, but as voting citizens, we do. So why, just WHY did you pick these two to compete for the Presidency? you setteld for hot dogs when we need new york strip steaks.

Interesting. Both ASK PLUS' query[asking why I was ''feeling sad today''], and my 6:30 PM reply[as well as my earlier 8:37 AM for Sept.02], focusing on the federal Operation BOARD GAMES and its relationship to the Obama campaign have vanished into thin air. It could be mere coincidence.

But this is not the first time that this has occurred while on NEWSWEAK.[which otherwise,as many can instantly tell you,posts nearly everything else I opine upon]. What is it about this investigation and the ties of many of its defendants and indictees to his campaign which extend far beyond Rezko that NEWSWEAK does not want you to know about? Here then,is your homework lesson for today.

Who is Allison Davis? What cabinet position does Obama envision for this person?

While the MSM wastes time on Palinian ''DUIs'' and ''fishing without a licence'',it strangely ignores one of the largest federal state corruption cases in modern American history,in Chicago,involving one Barack H.Obama.

Why would this be........?

www.opednews.com Apr.04 2008. ''Operation BOARD GAMES For Slumlords''.

Well it seems the democrats are not happy with any thing and will go to the ends of the earth to discredit people. Sarah palin???s 17y/o daughter is pregnant but so is 2 million other unmarried teens in America! But because its Mrs. Palin???s kid that makes her a bad parent or not in touch with her children???. I guess all the other parents of the other 2 million are bad as well! But wait her husband got a d.u.i. 22 yrs ago and had an accident that caused some property damage so he???s an awful person according to the liberal democrats! It makes no difference that Joe biden is a long time big government spender all the while he claims to be a regular guy! He says I ride Amtrak everyday to work and home he fails to mention that that Amtrak ride costs 97 dollars a day! That???s about the amount of money that 25% Americans make day (they are the low income earners but before taxes they are considered middle class according to the government which is a bunch of bull in my opinion that???s at poverty level!) and he spends it on Amtrak yeah he a regular Joe! And barrack Obama well he???s no angel either he???s got some pretty bad bill???s hidden in his closet not to mention his admitted marijuana and cocaine use years ago but lets not talk about that says the liberal media lets talk about mr.palin???s d.u.i. Or the 17 y/o???s pregnancy this liberal bias in the media is getting a little aggravating but I think that the American people will see that this whole thing is leaning to far left and it will back fire in obama???s face costing him the chance at being the leader of the free world! It???s a shame that our election process has come to this! as you can see all the dirt being dug up is from the move-on.org idiots who wants those morons running the country they have obama in thier poket he's thier hand picked choice !

MY RESPONSE TO HARLEY Posted By: HarleyisHere @ 09/02/2008 21:23:49 below:

HARLEY SAYS: She (Palin) said and I quote"my son enlisted in the Army on sept 11 almost 7yrs of war go by, SOME HOW he does NOT deploy, NOW suddenly, she says he will deploy in a "few months" conviently AFTER the election...hmmm ever just wonder?


I SAY: Harley, do you ever research what you post before you make outrageous claims like above in these blogs??


THE FACTS:


* First of all, when the 9/11 terrorist attack happened back in 2001, Palin???s SON was 12 YEARS OLD.

* Sarah Palin???s son enlisted in the U.S. Army Sept 11, 2007 at the age of 18. (LAST YEAR)

http://operationyellowelephant.blogspot.com/2008/08/mccains-vp-picks-son-is-in-army.html


* He is scheduled to go over to IRAQ on Sept 11, 2008 (NEXT WEEK)

Sarah Palin..... you've got to be kidding. This is like placing a high school senior who has run a Junior Achievement project and have them nominated to be president of General Motors. It's all over Republicans.... I do not know how ANYONE in the party can say they are behind the ticket of McCain/Palin 100% with a straight face. I wish I had stock in Pepto Bismol.... Most of the Republican party will be needing this after the first Presidential and Vice Presidential debates. IT'S ALL OVER but the formality of the actual election on November 4. January 20.... OBAMA/BIDEN.......
Get used to it. Folks, this will be the ticket for at least the next 4 years.

Comment: I am puzzled by McCain's pick for V.P. Hell of a risky gamble I'd say. Palin seems perky, quirky, scrappy, quite the "character", but scarcely presidential. My main complaint with her so far is that she didn't turn McCain down cold. She seems bright enough to know that she is incredibly unqualified to run Starship America.

On C-span today, a group of republican strategists were asked, "if Sarah Palin were Sam Palin, would HE have been selected." To their credit the panel answered honestly that no , HE would not. So it appears that this is a gimmick to go after the female vote even at the risk of putting an unqualified candidate in the white house."

It is totally ridiculious to have ANY debates about Palin's pregnancies, her children, or their children....THE HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THE OBAMA'S WOULD HAVE DONE AND WHAT A DESCENT PERSON DOES WHEN DISCOVERING THEY HAVE A DOWN SYNDROM CHILD......OBAMAS' WOULD HAVE THROWN IT IN THE TRASH....ABORT...THEN WE HAVE GOOD, DESCENT, GOD FEARING PEOPLE WHO FIND ALL LIFE VALUABLE..AND FINDING WORTH IN THE CHILD.... Aborting and having live birth abortions is NOT ACCEPTABLE TO CIVILIZED PEOPLE...Just say NO to O

The Republican slime machine has been operating at full throttle for months, cheered on by McCain's "humorous" and/or blatantly false attack ads. What's the matter, fellas? You can dish it out, but you sure can't take it.
