Sarah Palin: The Pitbull With Lipstick
So did you catch the good ole boy meeting last night headed by the community organizer? Crazy huh? Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech was exactly
what I thought it was going to be–a bunch of Obama tax plan distortions while making a obvious yet obtuse connection to middle America. Her speech was scripted to make Barack Obama look like an egotistical elitist while appealing to a gender based ideology. The self described hockey mom last night became a “pitbull with lipstick” and slammed Barack Obama at every turn. Did you see the look on the faces of the women in attendance? This was their Barack Obama DNC moment which played out in an arena the Republicans couldn’t fill.
There were like 5 Black people in attendance. How can America vote for a party that has no diversity (don’t answer that)? How can women identify with a candidate whose running mate could give a damn about women? Isn’t she way too conservative (creationism vs. evolution)? I tell you what though, this party abhors the media almost as much as we do and are banking on media backlash to help win this election. There also was a huge focus on energy in her speech. Most will see this as a phenomenal night based on Palin’s gender, but in a party that has no idea of how to include anyone else but their own, all of that is lost.
Crazy how after Barack Obama packs a house of 80 stacks, he’s overshadowed by the town librarian.
This ain’t no race for student council!
Barack has advanced thought through his vision of diversity and in one fell swoop his speech was nullified like it never happened.
Of course her speech was written by someone else for her but so are most political speeches. Can she sustain this when it comes down to it? Biden is still going to murder her in a debate.
Is anyone surprised this is playing out this way?
If I hear one more woman say “I like her as a person”…
saddle up folks. Based on how fickle America is, this is not going to be easy for Barack. This should be about more than just simple identification (Norma Rae).
Where was talk of the economy? Afghanistan? Pakistan? Education? 12 billion a month in Iraq? Middle class (not her policy, John McCain’s)
McCain is next up tonight. How is he going to follow Palin? Who is no Ann Richards by the way.
Alaska is close to Russia so…
This cat has been ridin’ high for far too long…
Here’s the text to Palin’s speech:
Sphere: Related Content“Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens: I am honored to be considered for the nomination for Vice President of the United States…
I accept the call to help our nominee for president to serve and defend America.
I accept the challenge of a tough fight in this election… against confident opponents … at a crucial hour for our country.
And I accept the privilege of serving with a man who has come through much harder missions … and met far graver challenges … and knows how tough fights are won - the next president of the United States, John S. McCain.
It was just a year ago when all the experts in Washington counted out our nominee because he refused to hedge his commitment to the security of the country he loves.
With their usual certitude, they told us that all was lost - there was no hope for this candidate who said that he would rather lose an election than see his country lose a war.
But the pollsters and pundits overlooked just one thing when they wrote him off.
They overlooked the caliber of the man himself - the determination, resolve, and sheer guts of Senator John McCain. The voters knew better.
And maybe that’s because they realize there is a time for politics and a time for leadership … a time to campaign and a time to put our country first.
Our nominee for president is a true profile in courage, and people like that are hard to come by.
He’s a man who wore the uniform of this country for 22 years, and refused to break faith with those troops in Iraq who have now brought victory within sight.
And as the mother of one of those troops, that is exactly the kind of man I want as commander in chief. I’m just one of many moms who’ll say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harm’s way.
Our son Track is 19.
And one week from tomorrow - September 11th - he’ll deploy to Iraq with the Army infantry in the service of his country.
My nephew Kasey also enlisted, and serves on a carrier in the Persian Gulf.
My family is proud of both of them and of all the fine men and women serving the country in uniform. Track is the eldest of our five children.
In our family, it’s two boys and three girls in between - my strong and kind-hearted daughters Bristol, Willow, and Piper.
And in April, my husband Todd and I welcomed our littlest one into the world, a perfectly beautiful baby boy named Trig. From the inside, no family ever seems typical.
That’s how it is with us.
Our family has the same ups and downs as any other … the same challenges and the same joys.
Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge.
And children with special needs inspire a special love.
To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters.
I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House. Todd is a story all by himself.
He’s a lifelong commercial fisherman … a production operator in the oil fields of Alaska’s North Slope … a proud member of the United Steel Workers’ Union … and world champion snow machine racer.
Throw in his Yup’ik Eskimo ancestry, and it all makes for quite a package.
We met in high school, and two decades and five children later he’s still my guy. My Mom and Dad both worked at the elementary school in our small town.
And among the many things I owe them is one simple lesson: that this is America, and every woman can walk through every door of opportunity.
My parents are here tonight, and I am so proud to be the daughter of Chuck and Sally Heath. Long ago, a young farmer and habber-dasher from Missouri followed an unlikely path to the vice presidency.
A writer observed: “We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty, sincerity, and dignity.” I know just the kind of people that writer had in mind when he praised Harry Truman.
I grew up with those people.
They are the ones who do some of the hardest work in America … who grow our food, run our factories, and fight our wars.
They love their country, in good times and bad, and they’re always proud of America. I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town.
I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids’ public education better.
When I ran for city council, I didn’t need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and knew their families, too.
Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown.
And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves.
I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a “community organizer,” except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don’t quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren’t listening.
We tend to prefer candidates who don’t talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.
As for my running mate, you can be certain that wherever he goes, and whoever is listening, John McCain is the same man. I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment.
And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.But here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people.
Politics isn’t just a game of clashing parties and competing interests.
The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it.
No one expects us to agree on everything.
But we are expected to govern with integrity, good will, clear convictions, and … a servant’s heart.
I pledge to all Americans that I will carry myself in this spirit as vice president of the United States. This was the spirit that brought me to the governor’s office, when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau … when I stood up to the special interests, the lobbyists, big oil companies, and the good-ol’ boys network.
Sudden and relentless reform never sits well with entrenched interests and power brokers. That’s why true reform is so hard to achieve.
But with the support of the citizens of Alaska, we shook things up.
And in short order we put the government of our state back on the side of the people.
I came to office promising major ethics reform, to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is the law.
While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor’s office that I didn’t believe our citizens should have to pay for.
That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay.
I also drive myself to work.
And I thought we could muddle through without the governor’s personal chef - although I’ve got to admit that sometimes my kids sure miss her. I came to office promising to control spending - by request if possible and by veto if necessary.
Senator McCain also promises to use the power of veto in defense of the public interest - and as a chief executive, I can assure you it works.
Our state budget is under control.
We have a surplus.
And I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending: nearly half a billion dollars in vetoes.
I suspended the state fuel tax, and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress.
I told the Congress “thanks, but no thanks,” for that Bridge to Nowhere.
If our state wanted a bridge, we’d build it ourselves. When oil and gas prices went up dramatically, and filled up the state treasury, I sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged - directly to the people of Alaska.
And despite fierce opposition from oil company lobbyists, who kind of liked things the way they were, we broke their monopoly on power and resources.
As governor, I insisted on competition and basic fairness to end their control of our state and return it to the people.
I fought to bring about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history.
And when that deal was struck, we began a nearly forty billion dollar natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence.
That pipeline, when the last section is laid and its valves are opened, will lead America one step farther away from dependence on dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart.
The stakes for our nation could not be higher.
When a hurricane strikes in the Gulf of Mexico, this country should not be so dependent on imported oil that we are forced to draw from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
And families cannot throw away more and more of their paychecks on gas and heating oil.
With Russia wanting to control a vital pipeline in the Caucasus, and to divide and intimidate our European allies by using energy as a weapon, we cannot leave ourselves at the mercy of foreign suppliers.
To confront the threat that Iran might seek to cut off nearly a fifth of world energy supplies … or that terrorists might strike again at the Abqaiq facility in Saudi Arabia … or that Venezuela might shut off its oil deliveries … we Americans need to produce more of our own oil and gas.
And take it from a gal who knows the North Slope of Alaska: we’ve got lots of both.
Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America’s energy problems - as if we all didn’t know that already.
But the fact that drilling won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all.
Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we’re going to lay more pipelines … build more new-clear plants … create jobs with clean coal … and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative sources.
We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers. I’ve noticed a pattern with our opponent.
Maybe you have, too.
We’ve all heard his dramatic speeches before devoted followers.
And there is much to like and admire about our opponent.
But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate.
This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word “victory” except when he’s talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed … when the roar of the crowd fades away … when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot - what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger … take more of your money … give you more orders from Washington … and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world. America needs more energy … our opponent is against producing it.
Victory in Iraq is finally in sight … he wants to forfeit.
Terrorist states are seeking new-clear weapons without delay … he wants to meet them without preconditions.
Al Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America … he’s worried that someone won’t read them their rights? Government is too big … he wants to grow it.
Congress spends too much … he promises more.
Taxes are too high … he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan, and let me be specific.
The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes … raise payroll taxes … raise investment income taxes … raise the death tax … raise business taxes … and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars. My sister Heather and her husband have just built a service station that’s now opened for business - like millions of others who run small businesses.
How are they going to be any better off if taxes go up? Or maybe you’re trying to keep your job at a plant in Michigan or Ohio … or create jobs with clean coal from Pennsylvania or West Virginia … or keep a small farm in the family right here in Minnesota.
How are you going to be better off if our opponent adds a massive tax burden to the American economy? Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election.
In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers.
And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.
They’re the ones whose names appear on laws and landmark reforms, not just on buttons and banners, or on self-designed presidential seals.
Among politicians, there is the idealism of high-flown speechmaking, in which crowds are stirringly summoned to support great things.
And then there is the idealism of those leaders, like John McCain, who actually do great things. They’re the ones who are good for more than talk … the ones we have always been able to count on to serve and defend America. Senator McCain’s record of actual achievement and reform helps explain why so many special interests, lobbyists, and comfortable committee chairmen in Congress have fought the prospect of a McCain presidency - from the primary election of 2000 to this very day.
Our nominee doesn’t run with the Washington herd.
He’s a man who’s there to serve his country, and not just his party.
A leader who’s not looking for a fight, but is not afraid of one either. Harry Reid, the Majority Leader of the current do-nothing Senate, not long ago summed up his feelings about our nominee.
He said, quote, “I can’t stand John McCain.” Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps no accolade we hear this week is better proof that we’ve chosen the right man. Clearly what the Majority Leader was driving at is that he can’t stand up to John McCain. That is only one more reason to take the maverick of the Senate and put him in the White House. My fellow citizens, the American presidency is not supposed to be a journey of “personal discovery.” This world of threats and dangers is not just a community, and it doesn’t just need an organizer.
And though both Senator Obama and Senator Biden have been going on lately about how they are always, quote, “fighting for you,” let us face the matter squarely.
There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you … in places where winning means survival and defeat means death … and that man is John McCain. In our day, politicians have readily shared much lesser tales of adversity than the nightmare world in which this man, and others equally brave, served and suffered for their country.
It’s a long way from the fear and pain and squalor of a six-by-four cell in Hanoi to the Oval Office.
But if Senator McCain is elected president, that is the journey he will have made.
It’s the journey of an upright and honorable man - the kind of fellow whose name you will find on war memorials in small towns across this country, only he was among those who came home.
To the most powerful office on earth, he would bring the compassion that comes from having once been powerless … the wisdom that comes even to the captives, by the grace of God … the special confidence of those who have seen evil, and seen how evil is overcome. A fellow prisoner of war, a man named Tom Moe of Lancaster, Ohio, recalls looking through a pin-hole in his cell door as Lieutenant Commander John McCain was led down the hallway, by the guards, day after day.
As the story is told, “When McCain shuffled back from torturous interrogations, he would turn toward Moe’s door and flash a grin and thumbs up” - as if to say, “We’re going to pull through this.” My fellow Americans, that is the kind of man America needs to see us through these next four years.
For a season, a gifted speaker can inspire with his words.
For a lifetime, John McCain has inspired with his deeds.
If character is the measure in this election … and hope the theme … and change the goal we share, then I ask you to join our cause. Join our cause and help America elect a great man as the next president of the United States.
Thank you all, and may God bless America.”

There was no “Good Ole’ Boy” meeting in St. Paul, how about start off your article with fact instead of your own bias?
It was a rally for conservatism, and it worked so well that it has all you liberals squirming and scared. You all cry about, there only 5 blacks, so what. 90% of blacks are democrats by choice, the Conservative movement welcomes all, but we don’t have to pander for votes, so the question of there not being a lot of blacks is irrelevant.

“Biden is still going to murder her in a debate.”
Mike this part worries me because I don’t know if he will go after her. I saw him on GMA this morning and he basically defended her stance on the media coverage and said he wasnt going to change his stance on McCain. They don’t have to go into attack mode, but they damn sure need to stop complimenting the republicans. Its like they are afraid to say anything negative about the McCain camp. There’s a way to challenge them respectfully since that’s what they’re aiming to do. At some point though, the gloves need to come off.
September 4th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Not yet Calandra. We spoke of this last night. You gotta play the game. It’s worked for them so far. Americans have become so damn shortsighted that Palin’s speech will be blown out of proportion for decades (until she speaks again four years from now).
Barack is attempting to change the operative dynamic of political campaigning. I think it’s brilliant because in that anonymity America is forced (at least in this context) to take him seriously.
Trust that Biden will be in serious attack mode. He’s always the self deprecating cat when he does interviews.
That’s his modus operandi .
Mudslinging is wack as hell. What purpose does it serve? Leave that shit for weekday network television.
September 4th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Palin killed it last night. You better be worried. Very worried.
The Democrat chumps are in SERIOUS trouble. People hate to believe the truth, which is that most of America is not far left like Obama. Nothing against Obama personally, but MOST are just scared of where his policies would lead.
Conservatives will support Black conservatives, but go after Black liberals. Black liberals villify black conservatives and prop up black liberals. Not sure why conservatives are the only bad guys….seems like the same thing to me.
Keep your heads up though guys…there is always 2012. I’m just sayin’.
September 4th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Crazy how cats pounce out of the tall grass when these things go down. Elliot I haven’t seen your ass on this site in at least 10 months.
Nothing but euphoria here.
September 4th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
Its really pathetic how two bozos crawl outta thier Republican shell to voice their excitement that we Dems might be squirming…NOT. Great article on Yahoo this morning ripping the shit outta Lipstick Betty and the lies told during her speech. It scares the hell outta me that anyone in this country is too blinded by a pair o tits to see this woman is a farce of a politician. I couldnt even listen to the entire ’speech’-especially after listening to Rudy rip on Obama like a jealous boy on a schoolyard while the KKK rally cheered him on. G’Pa, Tits McGee and the entire ‘Hookers and Blow’ party are the epitomy of evil and Im packing my shit and running to the lawless paradise of Mexico if they steal the elction ala ‘Gore’.
September 4th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Elliott,
Palin is very conservative. She want woo many undecided democrats with her stance on the issues that matter most to them.
You be afraid!
September 4th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
@Michelle, Palin isn’t there to woo the middle, she is there to solidify the base. McCain can now go out and woo the moderates with his liberal ass. The beauty of the pick is that it establishes a tone for the next election of who the flag bearers of the party will be, it won’t be the fakes like McCain and Arnold, but it will be, for the most part, the true Pat Robertson conservatives like Palin, Jindel, Pawlenty, and etc.
It is a great day to be a conservative, liberals and Obama need to look out.

DavidMac,
The republicans can’t win this time with just their base.
September 4th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
@michelle
No one can win it with just their base, but McCain never had the Republican base, he only had the RINOs and moderates and was actually splitting women with Obama. I don’t see how adding Palin, there by getting the majority of the Republican base to rally behind him and getting even more female support is not going to help.
September 4th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Y’all know the Repubs are through with this race. All the cats with real aspirations and upside backed out. McCain reached for Lieberman and the party base said, “Hell NO!!” He said, “Gimme what you got.” This race has been over since 2000. McCain is simply not a credible candidate for POTUS…he is being granted this as a concession for 2004.
He stood down like a good soldier while Bush-Cheney put down the Multi-Billion Smack Down. His reward isn’t going to be the White House. It’s going to be a seat on the throne of the Kingdom of Georgia. While everyone was watching Palin and her daughter, Bush-Cheney were laying the groundwork for a $1B party that Johnny Mac will ride home.
There was no need for anyone but the grandpa’s (GHWB) and the women (Barbara, Laura, Sarah, Carli, etc.) to go to Minnesota. Hell, they didn’t even bother the governor of the state. Nope…they’ve allowed him and Jindal to keep their names CLEAN - away from any association with Johnny Mac.
He’s done and he knows it.
September 4th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
I hope so Temple. But I am still with Harveydent on this one. I feel McCain has this election in his back pocket. McCain been down with big business and Defense since he sold his soul in the beginning of this decade.
Lieberman had no chance to be on the ticket. Ain’t no way a jewish kat can be on the Republiklan ticket for VP. Same way with dirty @ss organized crime connected guliani. He could never be a presidential candidate. A Catholic northern italian leading the Republiklan party. Hell no, no matter how much they showed film of him walking around the fallen towers during 9/11.
See I been telling folks since the beginning of this BS election. That this sh$# ain’t about winning its about keeping status que. If it was about winning Obama and Hillary would have put their differences aside and ran togther once Hillary was defeated. No one would have beat them.
But with McCain and the republiklans out hillarying the democrats with the Palin pick. Its theirs to lose. Then on top of that you know that Hillary will run in 2012. Because everyone espcially the democrats will feel that its Hillary’s turn to get nominated. So we will have 8 years of McCain.
September 4th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Oh well once the economy gets better in the next 8 to 10 years. McCain (After his 2 terms) will be raised to Reagan status and the revisionist history will begin again.

September 5th, 2008 at 2:47 am
DavidMac,
How do you reconcile the fact that the Republicans have villainized black teenage unwed mothers as the source of all that ails this country for the better part of 30 years and the fact that Bristol Palin is pregnant?
If an evangelical “Christian” sees a black unwed mother and sees a villain but sees the Virgin Mary in Bristol Palin, that makes you people precisely what you are: racists and hypocrites. When two black teens have a baby and they don’t have jobs, they are called “lazy,” “immoral” and a “drain on the economy.” The Bristol girl drops her squirrel covers and fornicates and you people fawn over that? Go crawl back under your rock.
The day the evangelicals turn their back on a VP candidate for not practicing the $hit that she preaches is the day I start giving Republicans their respect.
The lack of diversity at the RNC is a disgrace to what this country supposedly holds dear. You can’t call yourself a party of “the people” when only one type of “people” is in attendance.
September 5th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
@Phil
You are outright lying. Republican have never vilianized any unwed mother let alone “black unwed mother” So how about come with some fact.
There is diversity in the RNC and there is diversity in the Conservative movement. I find it funny though that the DNC has the same makeup as well as the DNC platform committee yet, I don’t see you diversity police counting the number of blacks, hispanics, women, indian, and asians are in the room for them. Hypocrisy at its finest. Come back again when you have a relevant argument.
September 5th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
I’m sure the McCain campaign is happy that after Palin’s speech they raised $1 million dollars……….but I’m sure the Obama campaign is even happier, because after that same speech, they got $8 million dollars.
BTW…5 colleges in 6 years is a bit much dont cha think? Is that indicative of Palin’s “academic” experience??
LMAO!! Oh yeah…..why no coverage of the 11,000 people rallying with Ron Paul in Minnesota this week too?? 11,000 people who are disgruntled republicans….hmmmm…nobody wanted to talk to them?
September 5th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
@Miranda
Democrats outraised and outspent the Republicans in 2000 and 2004, but the issue isn’t how much money you raise, it is about how you spend it. Republicans spending less money every year beat Dems because we know what issue Americans have close to their hearts, Dems don’t they are out of touch.
As for Palin, so what, last time I checked getting a degree and being in higher education doesn’t equate in any shape or form with being a great leader or executive. How about this since we like to dig up stuff.
*Obama smoked weed and admitted to using cocaine. Obama also stayed in the company of and issued praise to a man who bombed US government sites and said that he didn’t do enough. Lets not also forget Obama and his nice deal with Rezko, the man with mob and criminal connections who got Obama his house below market price and the adjacent lot well below market price. How about this one, I can go on and on, but I think it is funny. When someone brings up legit criticisms of Obama’s life you all scream slander and bloody murder, but you all cling to insignifficant facts of Palin’s life like it actually means something.
As for Ron Paul, those weren’t Republicans out there with him, those were nothing but kooks. Crazies, like those who want to go to Gold standards, UFO conspiracy theorists, 9/11 “Truthers”, and other fringe groups. Sadly, Paul’s revolution got co-opted by the lunatic fringe. But atleast the Republicans let free protest go on around our convention, it shows we believe in the founding principles of out country, we didn’t use the city government to limit Constitutional freedom and put protestors in “zones” half a mile away from the convention site surrounded by barbed wire and concrete blocks. Liberal Hypocrisy at its finest though, you can do better than this Miranda.
September 5th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
LMAO…ummmm what are you citing with the notion that Dems had more money to spend in 2000 and 2004 for the presidential races? The campaign money, the party money, or both? I’ll be waiting for the link.
Palin is a nitwit…from the lie about the plane sold on ebay, to the lie about the earmarks, to the lie about lobbyists, to the lies about troopergate, and would it be better to believe she’s lying about her youngest child being HER child or should we just believe she’s the most ignorant piece of trash mother in the country for boarding a plane for a 9 hour flight after she starts leaking amniotic fluids? Which of those options is the better one?
Oh so those 11,000 republicans were kooks?? LOL….well they certainly had more passion about Paul than anybody had about McSame! By the way, I thought the GOP hated Hollywood? So why are they using actors for their beautiful tribute videos and using the background from The West Wing for McCain’s speech? Isn’t that kinda embracing Hollywood? No?
What’s that electoral college map looking like today?

See its easy to argue when you have facts, you should try it some times.
2) Palin is a nitwit ? How so? Oh just more talk from a damaged bitter black women struggling for relevance in society and looking for it in Obama getting elected. You are pretty sad.
She did sell the plane though. http://dwb.adn.com/news/politics/story/9238727p-9154250c.html
-She said she put the plane on eBay, not that she sold it on eBay, sad that you have to nitpick so heavily, I wonder what would happen if I did the same to Obama, would you cry and say I’m targeting him? Yeah you would.
-As for earmarks, lobbying, and troopergate. I agree she is lying about all those issues and is not conservative at all and she was dead wrong and abused authority in TrooperGate. How this equates to being a nitwit, I don’t know.
-Why would it be ignorant for her to have a child with down’s syndrome? You think all life shouldn’t be given a chance, you think you have the right to force a woman to get an abortion? You have an extremely distrubing way of thinking, I’m glad a great deal of women in this country do not think like you fringe liberal leftist, as for it not being her child why wouldn’t it be? I guess if you want to play that game, how do we know Obama was not born in Nigeria and isn’t really a Muslim terrorist.
-As for the flying after her water broke, her child’s life was never in danger and she was cleared to fly by a physician in Texas. Wow how pathetic it must be to try to scrape the barrel to tarnish Palin because she is now more popular than Obama. LOL. http://www.newsminer.com/news/2008/apr/22/palins-flight-labor-falls-under-scrutiny/
3) Those people at the Ron Paul rally were indeed kooks, they actually had an expose on them in Reason, http://www.reason.com/news/show/128548.html , they are far from the base of the Republican party. When did the GOP hate Hollywood? Source. So what that they used background music and pictures from the West Wing? Relevant argument please, Miranda, you are losing it.
-Electoral College, Obama’s lead, as of 08/22, dropped significantly according to Rasmussen. From 210 -165 Obama to 193-183 Obama, this was before Republican Convention, so look for it to get worse. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/election_2008_electoral_college_update

At the end of the day Miranda, you really have to do better if you want to debate a topic, being a typical woman and getting all emotional and irrational is not going to help you in a logical debate.

Well it doesn’t even bear reading the rest of your tripe since you linked to an interview with Karl Rove as your “proof” of the Dems vs GOP spending in 2000…..you’re an idiot. Thanks for playing. Its like you don’t even know what the Federal Election Commission is…do you? I mean, did you really think you could link an interview with fathead Rove as some sort of confirmation? Seriously? Really? Oh well…this has to be done. Now given that both campaigns accepted public financing, would you like for me to believe that Gore’s campaign raised that ridiculous amount cited by your lying azz mentor in less than 30 days from the date of this?

Gee, now anybody who was still giving you the benefit of the doubt has their suspicions confirmed. You’re a numbnut.

@Miranda
You can’t be foolish enough to really believe that only 94 million was used in a Presidential election. LOL. You just made yourself look like a fool.
Two points
-Rove’s comment was refering to 2004 election, that was Kerry vs. Bush, and it includes 527, Kerry’s Presidential team, and the DNC, compared to the same for the Republicans. You may hate it but the fact is last election the Republicans were heavily outspent.
-The numbers for the 2000 election that I gave were not from Rove, learn to read, they were from a third party, that was accounting for soft money.
I know you really think you made a point, but it would suit you to actually read what people post, use your head, and critically think about your argument, if ou are going to try to dbate me. Anything less leaves you looking foolish.
September 7th, 2008 at 11:28 am
Davidmac, again you look retarded. I specifically asked what numbers you were referring too…..and again, there are all kinds of groups that must report to the FEC, so why didn’t you link that inormation?? Because you know your mentor Rove is lying? Could that be it?? Kerry did not have even close to the amount of the Bush machine - by the way you can look up what the DNC had compared to the RNC on the FEC’s website too - I guess you can just pull up something out of your ass and we’re all supposed to believe it?? LMAO! Well that explains why your only source is that of an interview with Karl Rove. You should stop pretending to be even semi-intelligent, its obviously too hard a task and I’m sure you’ve given yourself a migraine. Provide a credible link (which doesn’t exist, I’m just daring you to show everyone how much of a punk you are). Go ahead, double dare you. If you don’t, you’re a big ole punk. Next comment to this better be all the links of the reportable information, or you’re just a sorry azz punk!! LOL

Alright Miranda, lets try again.
http://www.campaignlegalcenter.org/attachments/1297.pdf
These are the election numbers for 2000 and 2004. It also has the 527 group discloures for 2004, which is the first year that it was required to be disclosed.
This is the link for 527 estimated spending, a very conservative estimate, in 2000.
http://www.politicalaccountability.net/files/cpa%20-%20wall%20street%20journal%20-%20interest%20groups%20gain%20in%20election%20cash%20quest%20-%2012-19-07%20(2).pdf
Lets do the math, but first we are going to divide the 527 cash for 2000. The amount is estimated to be 260 million dollars. In 2004 the Dems collected 72% of the total 527 money, so we are going to give them 70% of the cash in 2000 and assume it increased even more in 2004.
Estimated Democrate 527 funds in 2000 - 182,000,000
Estimated Republican 527 funds in 2000 - 78,000,000
Official 2000 Election Stats
DNC 2000
-Hard and Soft money - 458.1 Million
RNC 2000
-Hard and soft money - 611.5 Million
Speculated Total money for DNC in 2000 - 640.1
Speculated Total money for RNC in 2000 - 689.5
Repubs have slight money advantage of 49.4 mil.
========================
2004 Official Stats
DNC Hard money + 527 = 580.7 + 241.8 = 822.5
RNC Hard money + 527 = 632.5 + 93 = 725.5
In 2004 DNC outspent RNC by 97 million dollars.
———————-
So there were go, in general my statements are verified by statistics. RNC outspent the DNC in 2000. In 2004 DNC outspent the RNC by a great deal, almost 100 million.
Want to try again Miranda.

Mizzo,
Yes, it has been a while. Seems like not much has changed. I had to take a break from all the sites filled with hatred for all things white (hatred for white men that is…don’t want to offend any of you that date…nah, never mind).
I truly don’t know if you guys are mad that Obama is finally being exposed and his complete lack of experience is scaring most people or that she is a pretty white girl and you can’t date her.
That has always been what I find most amusing and always will. hehehe. I hate white men…but I looove white women!!
Punks!
Holla
September 9th, 2008 at 11:47 pm
You’re joking right? That’s a ridiculous comment. I see you’ve been blasting the hate aid as well…
September 10th, 2008 at 12:43 am
“or that she is a pretty white girl and you can’t date her.”
HAHA…………LOL!!!
Ignore this fool Mizzo.
This was the funniest thing I have read in awhile. I swear Elliot you need to do stand up comedy.
Sites that hate white men….what is that like 3 sites??
Hell there are like 4 billion sites that hate on people of color.

The RNC was a disgrace. When Governor Palin falls, she’s gonna come down hard. Gulianni and the rest of those folks were obviosuly smoking something. They’ve kept her hiding in the Carl Rove Cave filling her head with the power and the glory! the shit’s gonna hit the fan and it’s all coming back in Palin’s face. But at least she’ll have all of that out of the way by 2012. READ on….
Pit bull, lipstick, and pigs What a disgrace for politics in general. It’s evident that the main stream news media is the “Third Party.” For me, Friday, September 12 show “The View, ” was by far the most compelling, showing ,sign that straight up questions to these candiates does not have to be so agenda driven.
These women had the gonads to confront John Mcshame for his dirty, dishonorable , so called approved attack ads. Also they asked him about the real issue, which the MSNM are’nt doing.
He’s hiding under Palin’s skirt. McShame will get kudos for agreeing to put Palin on the ticket and for his over-played battle cries of being a POW. GAME OVER!!!!
Here’s how I see it: John Mcshame is not getting into the big house. The RP is using him and Palin to bring in the base. (The fearful, jump on board the war wagon, save our country, stupid, scared of black people,white folks who buy into the belief that any of these politicians really care about them or the needs of their family)
Obama/Biden will have a 4 year run in the big house. And yes folks, I believe Obama deserves to step into the White House, not in spite of being black, but clearly because he is black and then some! Palin and Billary will go head to head in 2012. Palin is being prepped for prime time by the Repubs (Newt, what a name Gingrich and Carl cunning, coniving Rove)
In the meantime, I’m going to continue on with my life as I am now. Do work I enjoy and earn my own way through life, love, play, and accept responsibility for my every word, thought, and deed. And that my friend is what Spiritual Freedom is for me! Because politics will never be my savior.
