McCain & Palin

[coondog]

Well, now he's done it!

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/29/ ... index.html

As if this election didn't already resemble the final act at the Cirque du Soleil. Is this some sort of
parasitic obsession with the legacy of Hillary, or a tongue in cheek response to Paris Hilton?

I am amused, befuddled and and almost speechless (almost)! Really not sure what to think about the Old White-Haired Dude and that Hot Chick The conservative right must be cashing in their RNC convention tickets in the Twin Cities for cruise tickets to Pago Pago.

The woman is a Moose Hunter, for crying out loud. If Cheney (who hunts tiny birds on a leash) shoots people in the face, what's she likely to do?

Hey, Jug, that photo of McCain & Palin is a lot like this one:



Sadly, as much as I'd like to just post the dab nagged image, I don't know how. Computer illiteracy and all!
Note from Stonewall: in the message editor, highlight the image URL and then click the "Img" button at the top. Simple. The code will then look like this:

But, I am marginally literate so I've been reading up on this Palin Chick and find that my original assessment of right wing reaction was completely off. They're gonna love her! This woman is a barracuda. The kind of hockey mom with ambition and an attitude who you don't want to cross at the PTA lest you find your cat missing and your tires slashed.

Forget about age, gender and experience. (They say young rattlesnakes are the most poisonous). She's the epitome of right wing fundamentalist conservatism that will loosen both the wallets of filthy rich corporate campaign contributors and the mouths of TV evangelists. The fact that her family is as dysfunctional as everyone else's only conjures up empathy in the eyes of everyday uninformed working Americans.

Unqualified? Not hardly! All the biographical data suggests she's every bit as bi-partisan as Carl Rove, humanitarian as Dick Cheney and diplomatic as Napalm.

I think she is great and I don't see her family as disfunctional. I have worked with disfunctional families and hers is not. Oft times this term is used too loosely. She has five children, one with downs syndrome and one she choose to keep. She has a 17 year old daughter who is pregnant . I had a son who became a father at age 16. Barack's mother was three months pregnant with him when she married his father. If I mispelled any words its because I stoped to respond and am in the process of battling some carpentender bees.

Oh yes I am back and meaner than a junk yard dog.

disfunctional

You may have a point there! I might have said her family is no more disfunctional than everyone else's....but that would have messed up the context. Look! I use a lot of terms loosely. My point, as obscure as it is and beyond the ironic, twisted suggestiveness, is that this sort of personal fluff is great for political cannon fodder and media sensationalism, but has little or nothing to do with the greater issues concerning the future leadership of the free world.

So what if her husband got a DUI. Who hasn't? That was 20 years ago. We all got drunk the day Disco died, eh!

So what if she wants to succeed from the union? I'm from the South....I can identify with that!

More important questions need to be addressed, like whether she exercized abuse of power when she fired the Public Safety Commissioner over matters of a personal nature, re: her ex-brother in law state trooper (Troopergate). If so, then she's a perfect replacement for Cheney. Heck, she's already got a "Gate". Talk about ready for national office!

Suffice to say, Palin has compiled an illustrious, and somewhat notorious, career in a very, very short time. Her methodology and penchant for ruthlessness, upon closer scrutiny, appears eerily familiar.

You got to be kidding.....you are kidding????? There's no way she can replace Cheney. Anyway Cheney couldn't wear a shirt like Sarah can.

Hey we do use a badminton racket to swat those bees. Usually works if you swing fast and often.

This borders on pornography and is completely offensive. I see your attitude toward women is degrading and disrespectful.

[Juggler]

Fact - the world recognizes she's hot.

The internet is abuzz.

It's just a joke, for pete's sake. Lighten up and get off your high horse.

And here is yet Another Hot Campaign Poster

[fangz1956]

After reading the article below, along with some other things earlier this morning, I truly don't believe Palin is someone we want or need holding the second highest office in the land. Here is a person who resorts to cronyism and low-ball tactics in order to get what she wants when she wants it. Here is a person who tried to fire the town librarian shortly after becoming the elected mayor of Wasilla. Why? The fine mayor wanted to ban books that she disagreed with or found distasteful and felt that she did not have the full support of the local librarian. Hmmmm.......a potential VP who has already tried to squelch free speech by attempting to ban books. Think McCain and his posse could have chosen anyone more Orwellian than this?

Hottie or not, mother or not.................I find her to be dangerous in the extreme and nothing but bad news for the American people.

[Wise One]

I watched the Sarah Palin speech at the Republican convention in rapt fascination and here are my thoughts.

The Pros:

• She is knockout beautiful. I'm dealing with major drool here.
• Her speaking style, delivery, and timing are excellent.
• Her family and personal history are attractive and admirable.
• The speech was well-written and well-calibrated to the convention audience.
• Her personal asides, jokes and ad libs were smart and effective.

The Cons:

• An overpowering feeling of déjà vu swept over me, as I realized I'd seen it before, on Seinfeld. George Costanza rode toward a rally in the back seat of a limousine with an adoring and incredibly beautiful woman. (He'd fallen into impersonating the leader of her political movement, not knowing what it was.) Out of her beautiful mouth came increasingly vile ideas ... because the rally turned out to be for the American Nazi party.
• As I got past the pros above, I heard Palin agree with Bush's shredding of the Constitution and approve of torture by America.
• I heard her tell bold lies about opposing wasteful spending, claiming to reject Alaskan pork when she was as deep into the trough as any corrupt politician ... until she spotted an opportunity to capitalize on national revulsion and rejection of the Bridge to Nowhere. (She was for it before she was against it and has not returned the money.)
• Living in one of the last reasonably intact shreds of Nature in the United States, she nevertheless displays only contempt for her environment. She repeated the canard about Arctic National Wildlife Refuge oil drilling only destroying a tiny footprint of land, which is like saying that leveling a virgin forest only hurts 2% of the land, that occupied by the remaining stumps.
• Eight years of an anti-science president would only be followed by a Palin who's said that teaching "Creationism" in public schools would be just fine. Want to equip our kids to compete in the modern world? Who needs science, when superstition will do?
• Finally, I need to learn the details of her "book burning" past, wherein she attempted to fire a librarian who would not purge the public library of books Palin disliked. The town erupted over this overt censorship and Palin backed down.

An excellent analysis of her speach appears in Will Bunch's Palin's Speech to Nowhere. He hits the nail on the head.

With the problems facing our leadership today, "this is no time for on the job training!" -Rudi Giuliani -9/4/2008-

It's like I said before, these stupid bozo's cast dispersions on others without a clue that they're talking about themselves. I listened intently to Rudi last evening while awaiting the appearance of Medusa. What a horse's patuttie, thought I, as he belittled Obama's Community Organizer experience. But, that's the sort of character assassination one expects from people like that.....who have no character.

I made it back from throwing up in time to catch the first part of the VP acceptance speech. What a lovely family! How charming! Then, she starts ratcheting up the inane viperous talking points against the democrats and the media. She was completely out of her place making snide, belittling remarks about Community Organizers. Where does this hag get off? Where was she while Obama gave up the cushy high paying job available to all who graduate at the top of their class at Harvard to help the disadvantaged? Oh yes! She's just the sort of big mouth fanatic that gets the republicans stirred up!

I particularly liked the part where she brags about getting part of the oil and gas pipelines built. What she didn't say is that it's a pipeline to nowhere because her republican buddies in the House shot down the "do nothing" democrat's bill to finish it.

Would she make a good vice president? Probably as good as the one we got! She's easier to look at and she can convincingly chime in with the rest of the republicans while they distort John McCain's war record and unjustifiably smear everyone who doesn't agree with her extremist views.

I agree with fangz.......this little girl is dangerous!

Beckonwood, we know the photos are fake. Palin's bikini bottom has "Drill Here Drill Now" written on it.
