Sarah Palin is being used as a prop but she is so power hungry and clueless she doesn’t even know it.  She is an insult and an embarrassment to intelligent women everywhere.  She is now trying to incite fear and hate into Americans; what does she want to get Obama killed?  When someone yelled out “terrorist!” at a McCain rally, what did McCain do?  He smiled.  We are in the middle of a war on our economy, and she and McCain want to start a civil war.  McCain is an angry, vindictive old man, and Palin is an insult to her gender.

I once again saw the film clip of Sarah being debugged from witches. Something about it reminded me of Jim Jones. It was all very creepy and yet this seems to have been seldom used to make the point that the lady is “Mad as a Hatter”.

There is abundant reason to believe her finances are awash in dishonesty, but like Bush the person who should be investigated seems to control what actually gets investigated. When did this happen? How silly we have become to allow investigations to be derailed by the person who should be sitting in the hot seat.

Sad

While I would agree that picking Sarah Palin should reflect more on McCain’s stupidity and desire to win an election at any cost, which should totally undermine anyone who still believes he “puts country first”, I also have a real problem with Palin. Surely Palin must have known she had plenty of skeletons in her closet that would hurt McCain’s chances? Did she not disclose any of these or wasn’t she asked? And if she wasn’t asked, why didn’t she feel any duty to disclose them on her own including but not limited to these: 1. Her close association with a witch doctor priest. 2.  Her and Todd’s role in Troopergate and that both could be found guilty of using her office for personal vendettas.  3. Her teenage daughter’s pregnancy to a high school drop-out self-professed redneck. 4.  The circumstances surrounding her Down baby Trig’s birth including verification that this baby was really Sarah’s and not someone else’s.  5.  Her children’s history of drug and alcohol abuse.  6.  Her own history of rewarding friends without experience. 7. Her leaving Wasilla in debt because of bad decisions that were made to build a sports complex. 7. Her alleged affair with one of her husband Todd’s former business partners. 8.  The real reasons why she bounced around between so many colleges to get a BS or BA degree? 9. Both her and Todd’s associations with a group that advocates succession of Alaska from the United States. 10.  The real reasons she took her daughter Bristol out of Wasilla High school and put her in a school in Anchorage where she lived with Sarah’s sister with only a few months left in the school year. 11. Why she flew back to Alaska from Texas after her water broke instead of going to a local hospital to get checked out first.  12. That she really believes that the earth is only 6-7,000 years old.

“Palin’s candidacy isn’t shattering the glass ceiling for her or any other woman. It is killing us with a thousand cuts.”

Absolutely.

McCain has insulted every hard working, intelligent woman.  If Palin ever realizes how he has used her, she is going to be even more pissed at him than most of the rest of the women of this country are now.

Did McCain think that this woman was equal to Hillary, What a joke McCain could have got someone who was running for president, but he was afraid to pick a man so to try to get the women vote he chose a woman who did not know a thing about foreign policy, a person living in the Northwest would not even consider Canada a foreign country.

McCain as I write this is pulling out of Minn. and soon his number will go down, only way to become President is to rig the election, and Repubs are good at that.

Not only is Sarah Palin a Freak Show, our culture itself is nothing but a 24/7 Virtual Reality Side Show.  We don’t get to meet the politicians in person, or hear them speak from the caboose, or at Union picnics. The corporate owners of the television stations control the national psyche by editing and choosing the images that we see. Also, for every two minutes of so-called news, there is a minute and a half of mind-numbing adverts. We are not citizens, we are consumers. The United States is functionally illiterate - we are supposed to graduate from high school with the ability to read. If you have the ability to read, you should have the ability to think. But the corporate types, who want to be sure we have people always begging for work, use television as a Mind-Vacuum, a black-hole which sucks up neurotransmitters. Capitalism needs unthinking people, and a brutalized work force, for it to keep feeding. Newspapers and magazines are laying off reporters in the newsrooms, so those of us who do read and think will have fewer writers to read. Goebbels would have loved to have television available to inflame the masses. On the other hand, television encourages passivity. Consume, consume, consume. Gorge yourself and puke - we might as well build new vomitoriums along with the increase in prison building. Hardly any of the Intellectual Talking Heads seem to be aware that television is the very means preparing the way for the collapse of the social order. - Bill Witherup, Seattle, Washington

Was McCain’s choice his? Palin serves to keep the public occupied while ECONOMIC MARTIAL LAW was put into place. The public still hasn’t figured out the psychological control of Bush Administration’s crushing and restructuring America towards the New America unifying Canada, USA and Mexico. Her naieve contribution of “gotcha” basically is being used against her. She serves purpose keeping the public occupied and entertained while the bigger boys are making sure their bank accounts are secure.  No election! Military troops(Raiders, 1ST Brigaide ready to go from CO Springs,CO) against any disention when the 850 billion not used for bailout of financial markets along with personal debt of big time money operators. The nearly 1 trillion isn’t enough. Has the news told us where the money is coming from? US real estate will be on the market to highest bidder to paying off China and other creditors. Palin is but a sacraficial lamb for public amusement. There’s nothing worse than a woman scorned. This is just the beginning. A duck should never think they can fly with the eagles as it’s a flight to no where just like the bridge to no where. Making people think what a smart move for Reps to have this gal on the ticket was a major bread and games move. There’s no bread anymore folks. Just the game and we’re getting the first recognizable game move to the many others to follow. Palin isn’t the lead sled dog anymore where the lead dog has the best view.McCain took her off the chain. The Bush admin. is using her and her family while destroying each and every American family’s morals and values, investments and savings. She’ll be left on a chain to die as in the movie “Eight Below”. The Bush Admin. has only contempt for average ‘Joe-Six-Pack Sarah’ while using a woman to further bringing down a nation. They’ve taken her son along with many sons and daughters as a means to their ends.

I had only seen the Tina Fey Palin, and I thought she was a funny happy good spirited airhead.  I confess I really liked the Tina Fey Palin.  I thought I could stand to see a few minutes of the real thing (I avoid watching all politicos, just can’t stand it).  The real Palin I saw was not nearly has happy as Tina Fey, she struck me as very serious, a pit bull indeed, without humor, and judging by some of her remarks (she respects Biden but not Obama because Biden’s son is going to Iraq) a very low rent sort of person, and she’s played that one twice now.

But then her sister says that Fey nailed her?  Did she really?  Is it wishful thinking on Palin’s siter’s part?

I only watched a few very short snippets.  What is her dominant personality like?  Happy?  Funny?  Pleasant? Or otherwise?

How can the writer of article say it’s not her fault? Not at all? Her blind devotion to ideology without due consideration of facts is what got her in the pickle she’s in.

Poor Little Sarah
Those big meanies of the MSM are really a bunch of poopyheads. And that AA moderator ...I mean just who does she think she is?
How dare someone “like her” ask Sarah a question and insist that she answer that question, not one of her own choosing?

Just imagine this scene a few years from now.....
General: “North Korea just launched a missile at Japan, what should we do?”
President Palin: “In what respect General?” “I want to continue to talk about what a Maverick I am”. “Did you know I built the Alaska Pipeline?”.

Yes,she is a pathetic joke..an absentee mom..never home to take care of her kids.does she wait till she sees them off to school,homework done,faces washed,rooms cleaned..is she there when they come home at 3pm...she was never there for her knocked up daughter....but she does grin a lot and hates that kitchen and making cookies for those dang kids..as a daddy of seven.all college grads..I had a wife who was constantly with our kids..during school,after,pta,coach of their basketball and softball teams..etc etc..McCain with his supprt of slave labor products..nafta..putting millions out of work here is hardly an american firster...the other side is sooo marxist I kinda like them ,they are honest in their hatred of our Judaic _Christian nation..what a Hobsons choice again ..man the establishment has no respect for we peasants at all...Nino (looking for Pats pitchfork and that bridge up near Boston)

Palin is being used.  They will destroy her political career like they did to Kathleen Harris(Florida) after the 2000 election.  She was and is clueless of the events and issues outside of Alaska.

If they should win, heaven forbid, she will be forced to resign (for personal reasons) and will be replaced with Lieberman.

We will see if you can polish number two or not when this debate is over.
I think probably not.

TDBach is probably right, his or her thoughts that McCain just saw a nice governor and said, “What the heck?” Although he probably used a stonger four letter word.

Still, although I could never vote for a Republican again after what Bush II has done, McCain should have learned from the examples of Al Gore and Hubert Humphrey and not run away from the President. 

If he had really wanted to shake up the race, McCain should have asked Secretary of State Rice to be his VP, it would have really shaken up the race and while McCain might not have won, he would have had one heck of a better chance.  AND there would have been no objectification of Rice.

Hippy Pam - I see you’ve been in my neighborhood! I mean really, since when did intelligence become a stigma???

I have stopped dumping on Sarah. Not because I think she is even remotely qualified. I’m stopping because she’s a buffoon and I’m starting to realize the pathos involved.

Palin is in over her head and she has dragged her whole family down with her. The sad part is she doesn’t even realize it. As you become an adult you see that life is not a movie. This is not “My Fair Lady” or “Pretty Woman”. Things do not end, Happily Ever After.

She may have charm, but she doesn’t have the three things you need in national politics: cunning, temperament and patients. She lets her alligator mouth get way ahead of her tadpole ass. Worst of all Palin panics.

Shame on McCain and shame on me.

Mentioning Hillary Clinton is seldom done this past month or so. Hillary is a very intelligent woman who will no doubt find herself as a very important part of Obama’s cabinet.Isn’t it strange that there has not been a comparison made between the exceptionally smart Hillary and the Bush speaking Palin? Sarah speaks like she was tutored by Bush. I have always had to read at least 3 times any Bush comments to figure out what he said, I do the same with her remarks.
