I hope the left keeps it up. It just exposes them for what they are, and reminds women that the left assumes that they'll fall in line and vote for The Anointed One.

I have a feeling the tide has turned.

The best thing the Obamunists could have done about this nomination was STFU about it and treat the lady with respect. They have nothing to gain by attacking her. The PUMA’s (or is ‘Cougars?’) may not be impressed by the choice itself, but if they see a bunch of privileged males continually attacking and smearing a sister, they’re not going to be happy.

But because so many on the left are pathological, deranged haters, they can’t control themselves, even when it would be in their best interest to do so.

yawl better watch out, sarah got a gunlol be safe folk, enjoy the blog u got here

Trig Paxon Van Palin...... You go girl!!!!

The fact that she makes the left go so insane in trying to discredit her only means that McCain made a very wise choice.

Palin appears very capable of handling these kinds of nonsensical attacks if they want to go there. And if the left thinks they can beat up a woman without looking like a bully, well, I have a solar-powered Global Cooler they can buy for cheap. ;)

I wish liberal women would wake UP and see just how highly their beloved DNC thinks of their gender as a whole. You liberals think that the Dems are for female empowerment? Ha! They only pander to you in public but cut you down the moment you express a differing opinion.

Attention blacks: this applies to you as well. You want to believe that the Dems are looking out for your best interests but that couldn't be further from the truth.

"They only chose her because she's a woman!" scream the liberal hypocrites who chose Obama simply because he's black.

If only she were a liberal, it wouldn't matter who was the mother

...or the father, for that matter--or whether/not she was married...to a boy OR a girl...

I have a feeling the tide has turned.

Even if you don't like McCain, you sure have to hand it to him for the way he's managed to suck all the oxygen from the Obama campaign. His military pedigree is showing. He's methodically attacking each of Hopenchange's strongholds, and busting them to match-sticks.

I've never liked McCain, and I don't like him now. But I'd sure as hell hate to go to war against the guy. He comes to play, and he plays to win. And Palin plays every bit as rough as he does.

McNasty/Sarah Barracuda '08

Trig Paxon Van Palin...... You go girl!!!!

For some reason, when I think of Sarah Palin, I think of the "Hot for Teacher" video.... :-D

I usually look at the KOS board, but today more than ever I feel disconnected from the democratic party. That leaves me sad and hopeless. First I lost Hillary, now all these derogatory comments because Palin has five children (how irresponsible look at global overpopulation) and one of them has Down's Syndrome (how irresponsible, she chose to have him instead of an abortion) and now slander in regards to that child being from her teenager. Well I am a democrat, but I'm a mother of five, one of them with disabilities, a baby that I chose to have. I love my child. He is my joy and blessing and I have 5 children and I'm not ashamed of that either. Thank God that my my children are sons because if not maybe like the Obama-maniacs it would be presumed that Adrian was from my teenager... Those are hurtful comments that might damage Palin's daughter who we must remember is a minor. McCain/Palin just won my vote. I will not be shamed for being a mother of five - I will not be shamed for having a child with disabilities. I will not be shamed for being a mother and also having a career. McCain just gave us a choise and I just took it.

Pat -
Welcome home from the dark side. You'll be treated with repect here. If you aren't - I'll bust some chops for you. :-)

God bless you Pat! Your post brought tears to my eyes. Welcome! I love your last sentence: "McCain just gave us a choice and I just took it."

Pat -
Welcome home from the dark side

+1

Oh, that slot's filled. Sorry. ;)

Still, welcome and mad props for being a 5x mom!

Smart move, Pat. Like Rush says, "Words mean things."

Pat, I thought I was a liberal when I was a teen thru my late 20's. It was sort of a "given"...Republicans are warmongers, they're square, stupid, unhip, unsophisticated...the whole litany of "why no sensible person is conservative".

Then, when Reagan put those missiles in Eastern Europe, it was a "given" that we'd be in a nuclear exchange within a month. Guess what? The Russians blinked. Moved their SS20's out and never said a word.

That was the turning point for me. I started looking at all those "givens" and went "wait a second...this stuff is B.S." It was like the curtain parted. I suddenly saw everything in a different light. It was hard for a short time...realizing that so much of what I liked and believed was wrong. "Gee, Woodstock wasn't the answer to all our dreams. Rock stars are basically ignorant morons. Hollywood actors are, in fact, stupid. Money isn't evil. Working hard and self-sufficiency are good things. Wow..."

So Pat, don't feel depressed. Yeah, sometimes it's difficult to give up long-held notions, but you'll find a much more positive, hopeful view of life on this side of the isle. Nicer people, too.

Sarah Palin: Star [has] come! Draw, madam, war [on] Democrats!

('Dromes are hard.)

Thats to be expected

Like Anne says if Democrats had a brain, they would be Conservatives

Regarding the Dems' mocking of women who have more than 1 or 2 kids, you will never hear them criticize anyone other than whites for this. One of their favorite targets is the Duggar family who have (I believe) 18 kids. They're happy, healthy, and the parents take no welfare of any kind. But you see, they are white and Christian so it is an abomination! Ask these anti-child Dems what they think about Hispanics or Arabic families who typically have 4 or more children and they'll completely tiptoe around the issue.

Matt: +1 for you. :)

Of course they are going to mock. They're evil. It is part of their job description.

Thanks, nice!

As to "mocking", you guys again have it spot on. For example, a black or hispanic unmarried welfare mom with seven kids is either bemoaned (she is stuck in a cycle of poverty and hopelessness) or lauded (..taking care of all those children and raising them the best she can), but never EVER criticized. Now, let a WHITE person have "too many" kids and watch out! They're "destroying the planet".

Can anyone spell "agenda"?

Here's a devastating comparison, Palin's experience next to Obama's.

The Dems are so delighted that Gustav is approaching New Orleans..if Bush does anything less than send yachts filled with Papa Johns pizza, they'll not only attack him but they'll go after McCain by proxy. You just wait and see.

Gustav is Palin's fault.

The Obama camp using a scare tactic saying if McCain dies in office Palin would be in charge made me laugh.

Yeah I don't want McCain to die in office of course. But she would make a fine prez in my book if that did happen.

Ah, that's because you pro-American types forget to divide the number of children by the number of different fathers.

/sarc

Parker,
You're just saying that to try to make me like you, right?

FYI All - I had a long conversation tonight with my brother in Soldotna (for you cheechakoes - Soldotna is in Alaska...) He says that the entire State is in complete shock.

Sarah has an 80% approval rating as Governor. While most are extremely proud of Sarah, there are also many who believe she belongs to Alaska, and think she's "pimping" herself to the Lower 48.

Alaskans are that way - very independent. Even more so than Texans (if you can believe that)!

If you have read Sarah's bio, you know she IS change, while Obama blows smoke and talks about it.

Her pick is HUGE! I love it! And the liberals are going NUTS! You'd think SHE was running against Yomama rather than McPain! In my entire life - this is the only time a VP pick has made such an impact on an election.

'Course... I'm a YOUNG punk born under General Eisenhauer. :-)

Palin in '12!

Jimbo,
I know what you mean about Alaska politics. I told you how I grew up in Oklahoma with all my friends' fathers doing the Alaska pipeline.

I know exactly the "pimping" you are talking about, lol. Elk burgers says it all.

Mooseburgers, Parker, mooseburgers..

Sheesh.

;-)

I was excited about Palin at first. Now I think she will prove to be a terrible choice. She is no where near qualified to be a heart beat away. She is a huge gamble on McCain's part - he had only met her once before offering her the job. McCain is 72

I understand his thinking in choosing her but it will not work.

This was almost a cynical political move on his part. I am afraid it will backfire. Independents are NOT impressed. Time will tell but mark my words - this will cost McCain the election.

The Leftie nuts are really stretching on that slander/libel. Teenagers don't have many Downs Syndrome kids. 40+ year olds tend to have them with much greater frequency. For a group like likes to delude themselves that they are the "reality based" ones, they are pretty off base on this one.

I think the anon wanted us to know something.

I'm an independent, and I'm very impressed.

As others here have commented, lefties are falling over themselves to find reasons why Palin's a laughable disaster, which, IMO, means they are scared. If they thought she was no threat, they'd shrug, make some "meh" comments, and get back to praising Thursday night's Nuremberg Rally. The fact that there is so much talk about Palin instead proves that McCain was successful in taking the wind out of Obama's sails.

Please..somebody explain why having Palin a "heartbeat away" from the Presidency is supposed to be scary but having Obama, a junior senator with 143 days experience, as the ACTUAL President isn't?

I will sleep fine at night knowing that such a capable intelligent female is a heartbeat away.

I can't say I will sleep well knowing that Obama will need to listen to the polls before making any sort of important decision.

What can I say? I like people that are able to think for themselves.

The video mentioned by rawdawgbuffalo way up top:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsx0rWGVkRY&feature=related

I could get no sound from the video, - that's okay - I'm in luv anyway.

Alas - If I was 10 years younger... (and smarter, more handsome, and had a peronality...)

Notice it is like she has done that before.

I can read her mind; "God, this has a wimpy recoil compared to the .308 I use to pop moose..."

Libs are totally freaking. Videos like this make them wet the bed and call their therapist.

Welcome, Pat!
Very nice to have you here.
Yeah, regarding what they were saying about her Down's Syndrome son, I've noticed that a lot of ultra- libs don't seem to have much compassion for the mentally disabled. I remember getting into a heated online debate on Youtube with this one ultra- left guy who was a first- class dickhead. At one point, he referred to all conservatives as "Retards." I told him he shouldn't use words like that, because I have a mild learning disability, and he responded by calling me a "Genetic mistake" for that reason. If I ever met that guy in person, it would be similar to if I ever met Bill Maher in person; It would take every ounce of Christian love and mercy in my body to keep me from breaking his nose for making a comment like that.
It's not really limited to just libs on the Internet, either. Last week, I saw the comedy film 'Tropic Thunder,' directed by and starring outspoken Obama fan Ben Stiller. While I admit it had funny parts, I was really offended by one scene in which Stiller's character and Robert Downey Jr.'s character were discussing how to play mentally- handicapped roles, describing them using such compassionate terms as "Stupid," "Moron," and "Imbecile."
I definitely think Palin is an excellent choice for VP. That's why the libs are relying on increasingly vicious and petty attacks against her; Because they're afraid of her.

The difference between Hillary and Sarah is that when Sarah shoots a caribou, she doesn't make it look like a suicide.

Pat, I'm glad you are seeing through the moral inversion going on. Having and raising children is bad? Having abortions is good because of "overpopulation"? It's nuts, and you've done the right thing. Heck, if my parents had decided 5 kids would have been too inconvenient, I'd have been liquidated like so many other babies.

Obama is a no-experience punk compared to Palin.

The "anon" above who was saying about Palin "Now I think she will prove to be a terrible choice." is just another one of the Libs that come here, profess to be conservative or "independent" and then say "BUT..." and then start spewing the Liberal Line.

Hey you guys, it's not going to work. Your method of demoralizing the enemy went out with Tokyo Rose.

simply put: She will make an excellent President in eight years.

Ayeeeeeeeeeee!!! Woo woooo! Eef our weemen, they look like theese one, we burn their burkhas!

No offense, accchmed, but this kind of gratuitous jab sort of gives the Libs ammo.

This isn't a thread about Islamic Terrorists (or Islamic anything). I go after Moslems like a pit bull when it's the topic, but (and y'all tell me if you think I'm wrong) just being offensive for the hell of it kind of dumbs down the discussion...sort of like making "ugly" comments about Hillary when there was so much legit stuff to nail her with.

My two cents.

When Dems raise Hell about Sarah having 5 children, I want to remind them that Al "The Beloved" Gore has like 4 or 5 children too. (And also a massive carbon footprint--something they're fanatical about these days.)

Yeah, Jess. And no TELLING how many John Edwards has...

I was excited about Palin at first.

Bollocks.

Now I think she will prove to be a terrible choice. She is no where near qualified to be a heart beat away.

She's far more qualified than Obama who is running for President.

She is a huge gamble on McCain's part - he had only met her once before offering her the job. McCain is 72

How well did Obama know Biden?

I understand his thinking in choosing her but it will not work.

This was almost a cynical political move on his part.

Rubbish. She's young, dynamic, attractive and a real agent for change, unlike Obama who's achieved nothing, she's not a Washington insider like so many of the other potential GOP VP picks, and she's successfully run a state and worked to clean up corruption in politics there. How does any of that make her pick cynical?

I am afraid it will backfire. Independents are NOT impressed. Time will tell but mark my words - this will cost McCain the election.

Yeah, yeah. Somehow you're an independent who follows the DU/Daily Kos talking points about Palin to the letter. Not very convincing.

Oh, and, does anyone remember a couple months back when not just voting for Hillary was due to sexism - let alone attacking her politics or personal life? Isn't it odd how the phony identity-politics outrage fails to surface when the woman in question isn't a liberal?

I (hart) Sara'Cuda!

McCain has delivered a huge sucker punch to whatever guts the Obama campaign may have had. They are now bleeding so profusely, they are desperate to slander Sarah Palin. Those fools think they're smart when they say that the baby is actually Palin's teenage daughter's baby? Now that is slandering her daughter's reputation! Also, they say that she should have aborted her baby? That's pandering to commit murder! Next, they will likely come up with the charge on the trooper case that is posted on the internet. Liberals think they can walk all over with no boundaries, while they attack like the bully on the playground over the smallest of things. It's time to vote on what is good for the nation, and not on party lines! If McCain were to die while in office, Palin would be smart enough to seek help in areas where she is weak. I know of several Congressmen who would be there for her, if she were to face a tragic death of President McCain.

Nothing at all to do with politics, but this lady is milf material...

...compared with the female politicians we have over here in the UK. Perhaps with the exception of Caroline Flint, the Housing Minister. (drools)
