McCain’s ‘Hail Sarah’ Pass

Oh, I forgot to say, so it is logged here for all posterity... THE ELECTION IS OVER! You liberals had better start getting used to the idea now. It was over the day McCain announced her. I must say that I do have occasional flashes of genius, not all the time, most of the time I'm just above average intelligence. But this calculus appeared to me in an instant as I saw the news unfold. Unlike Einstein I am not able to specify the equation that brought this conclusion, yet, it is still a fact. -- Mark my words.

Almost all politicians have scandals, minor or major, in their past. So that's no big deal here. Palin's just another politician who's been dipping into the honey pot for both personal and political gains. What I find disturbing is her "family values" ideological hard-line stance, people's lives be damned. How thoughtless does one have to be to insist that a woman be denied abortion if she were raped, or that an adolescent who has just suffered incest be denied the same? Her decision to carry her own child with Downs syndrome to term is commendable, but her disdain for the victims of rape and incest is deplorable. Mrs. Palin is entitled to her own opinions, her own ideology, and the way she wishes to live her own life. She is not entitled to decide the fate of victims of heinous crimes. How on earth can we trust someone who is so doctrinaire to understand the subtleties that dominate the grey area of foreign policy?

Jonathan Alter...has been saying that Reagan era is over for some time now. Even though for the American people his era is never going to be over,..he thinks by declaring it..it will happen. His disdain for The Mayor of Wasilla, AK shows that he doesn't understand and never will understand what Americans see in the All American can do spirit of Frank Capras movies and Ronald Reagans philosophy and time in elective office. Sarah Palin is Ronald Reagan come back to life and his son Michael Regan said so in a column that he wrote. She is wildly popular and there isn't a thing that the media or the Democrats or anyone else can do about it.
This election is over...the left lost..and they won't get over it...they never do...and they never learn. Being a phony, lying and taking advantage of the American people is not popular and never will be. We don't need crooks and ne'er do wells running our economy, our lives or our nation. Bye, Bye.

Jonathan Alter - You are an idiot! We love Sara - she, unlike you, is one of us.

"McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #9: THE "TROOPER-GATE" LIES
Sarah Palin claimed she never called the State Trooper Magistrate to have her ex-brother-in-law fired. Soon after investigators got on the seen, emails were retrieved to dispute that fact, and now all seven of Sarah's state appointees have refused to testify. It has been learned that more than 20+ plus calls were made to the State Trooper Magistrate regarding the firing of Sarah's brother-in-law, and because the seven witnesses have 'lawyered-up', the investigators must use subpoenas to get the seven that initially volunteered to testify to give an account of what happened.

"McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #10: THE "POLITICS BEFORE COUNTRY" LIES
McCain and Rove accused Obama of picking Virginia Governor Tim Kane as VP for political expediency, and also because Tim Kane would bring a southern state into the Democratic "Win Column". Instead Obama went for Senator Joe Biden to sure up the leadership ticket for the White House. McCain assuming it would be an Obama-Kane ticket, wrongly accused Obama of putting politics ahead of country. Well McCain and Rove got busted. The whole world (except blinded Religious-Right) witnessed McCain picking the least qualified Republican to be his VP in hopes of: (1.) stealing Hillary's voters from Obama; (2.) pleasing James Dobson's religious-right. Clearly a hypocritical VP pick by McCain for the "sole purpose of political ambitions", is now on record for the world???s eternal observation.

"McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #11: THE "SADDLEBACK CONE-OF-SILENCE" CHEATER-LIES
It was McCain's responsibility to be in Pastor Rick Warren's "Cone of Silence" before Senator Obama got the first question. McCain was not in the cone-of-silence. Therefore McCain cheated. The issue is not whether McCain heard any of the questions posed to Obama, the issue is that cheating did occur when McCain did not follow the rules to be where he was suppose to be, at the time he was suppose to be there.

"McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #12: THE "IRAQ TIMETABLE" LIES
Senator Obama was consistent in his call for a responsible U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq under an agreed timetable. McCain and Bush said "absolutely" no timetables and anything like timetables was tantamount to "cut-and-run". It was Bush and McCain's desire to stay in Iraq indefinitely. Only after Obama took McCain's challenge and went to Iraq & Afghanistan, and secured an informal agreement to pull U.S. troops out by 2010, did Bush and McCain changed there views to accept timetables. Now Bush and McCain don't call timetables cut-and-run any longer.

Forget the presidential debates. Monotonous but A for effort vs uh, uh, ya know i need a teleprompter. Bring on the Pit Bull with lipstick vs the good ol boy. He's gonna mess up and say something like t*ts or broad after she's crossed the 50-yard line. If the Republicans were smart they'd have her sitting across from him with no desk. Totally expose him. Take his power away. Plus h''s not a sitting down type talker - he needs to move. Even if Biden has every issue nailed he's gonna be distracted by her authenticity and ALIVENESS after touring with barry. Biden is MASCULINE standing next to him. proves rev jesse's comments were just figurative. do you believe what barry has done to every black elder (who literally survived--not just researched at the Harvard Law Library) he has used to get where he is? when is rev wright gonna surface? Mrs Biden is beautiful and so gentle looking. She is someone you would immediately trust. Is she not interesting in campaigning? She would pacify and appeal to the disaffected, disrespected, still being disrespected, will never be respected short of a public apology by barry to Sen Clinton Hillaryites. Buchanan is right - Sen Clinton has a following -- because she actually cares about the American people and has been held accountable for every sentence for 25 years. Barry has to reach out to them instead of expecting they'll cross over because of the issues. The majority of those women's reproductive days are over and NARAL totally disrespected Sen Clinton and did it in the most vile way. Respect is earned and he hasn't even tried. He truly believes he can attract all 36M votes. How many people who voted for him have buyer's remorse? We'll see how much he wants to win vs how much he wants to get a democrat get in the WH. He has already shown that by VP pick whether he liked it or not. He rolls out Sen Clinton (who is absolutely loyal to the party) when he needs her to help him win or go places that don't have 80,000 seat stadiums but he trashes her and calls her husband--the only successful Dem Present in the last 28 years--a racist when he doesn't. This will be why he doesn't win. What % of the electorate are those Hillaryites?

I think it is in poor taste for Mrs. Cindy McCain to wear 300 thousand dollars worth of fashion and jewelry to the RNC when her husband is running for presidnet of a country whose people have lost theor jobs, their homes and their lives in Iraq. Laura Bush dresses more discreetly, why can't Cindy? What would be wrong if she wore a 5 or 10 thousand dollar outfit? She's not royalty..not even Princess Diana whom I love and admire after all these years, was that wasteful.

If the media loves scandal, especially one involving use of public power to settle family scores, why are
they giving Bush a pass? The only reason for invading Iraq that has stood the test of time is "He tried to
kill my daddy."

Hi guys, as far as I know, Obama's mother was a hippy. Does anyone know why she took Obama to Indonesia?

Mr. Alter your first Hail Sarah " opinion " piece was offensive to me and to all women who think; to all women who live and make their lives work, no matter.... It was offensive because you pre-judged her and tried to shoot her down with every stray. cynical bullet, fact or fiction, your brain could muster. Your second "opinion" piece was more of the same but seemed defensive. I don't think you should worry, your candidate could still be elected

My wife came up with an interesting slant on Palin. She has a Down syndrome baby and knew about it long before she had it. She had an opportunity to end the pregnancy at that time but CHOOSE to keep it. Palin, if elected to office, will have our tax dollars paying for the care of that child and for the rest of their life. But she wants all women not to have a choice, she and the rest of the anti-choice movement want to take that away from women, that may NOT have the ability, like she would, of having the someone else care for this child.

As for Palin???the first time she is asked tough questions about her readiness and experience and the questioner does not back off, she will be toast. Do I care about Palin, NO???for me it???s all about the reckless decision by McCain, a decision he made strictly for political purposes. That is what gets me mad.. with so many other choices men and women, to get a PTA president as your running mate shows his contempt for the office and the American people.. my question .. how many people did he ask first and they said NO.
