THis is the Real Sarah Palin

excerpts on how sarah ran government"

Her experience is as mayor of a city with a population of about 5,000 (at the time), and less than two years as governor of a state with about 670,000 residents.

During her mayoral administration most of the actual work of running this small city was turned over to an administrator. She had been pushed to hire this administrator by party power brokers after she had gotten herself into some trouble over precipitous firings which had given rise to a recall campaign.

Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as a “fiscal conservative.” During her six years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over 33%. During those same six years the amount of taxes collected by the City increased by 38%. This was during a period of low inflation (1996-2002). She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a regressive sales tax which taxed even food. The tax cuts that she promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they benefited residents.

part 2:
The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration
weren’t enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed
money was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million. What did Mayor Palin encourage the voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she said she supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? or a new library? No. $1m for a park. $15m-plus for construction of a multi-use sports complex which she rushed through to build on a piece of property that the City didn’t even have clear title to, that was still in litigation seven years later–to the delight of the lawyers involved! The sports complex itself is a nice addition to the community but a huge money pit, not the profit-generator she claimed it would be. She also supported bonds for $5.5m for road projects that could have been done in 5-7 yrs without any borrowing.

While Mayor, City Hall was extensively remodeled and her office redecorated more than once.

These are small numbers, but Wasilla is a very small city.

As an oil producer, the high price of oil has created a budget surplus in Alaska. Rather than invest this surplus in technology that will make us energy independent and increase efficiency, as Governor she proposed distribution of this surplus to every individual in the state.

In this time of record state revenues and budget surpluses, she ecommended that the state borrow/bond for road projects, even while she proposed distribution of surplus state revenues: spend today’s surplus, borrow for needs.

She’s not very tolerant of divergent opinions or open to outside ideas
or compromise. As Mayor, she fought ideas that weren’t generated by her or her staff. Ideas weren’t evaluated on their merits, but on the basis of who proposed them.

CNN's Jack Cafferty, a bona-fide Obama sycophant and news hack, recently suggested that McCain "should consider replacing Palin." This after making his case that she's a "weak" candidate.

Let's think about this for a moment.

Why would an Obama supporter insist that an "unqualified" VP candidate on the opposing ticket withdraw? Wouldn't a weak candidate IMPROVE Obama's election chances?

It's rather obvious that Cafferty is absolutely terrified of the game-changing nature Palin's introduction has had on the race and the damage she'll do to Obama. Liberals are literally wetting their pants on live TV. The shrillness is through the roof. Hysterical. This irrational behavior, more than anything else, tells me that McCain's pick was an absolutely BRILLIANT strategy. And I truly believe he knew this would occur. I have my differences with McCain, but the man is a genius.

part 3
While Sarah was Mayor of Wasilla she tried to fire our highly respected City Librarian because the Librarian refused to consider removing from the library some books that Sarah wanted removed. City residents rallied to the defense of the City Librarian and against Palin’s attempt at out-and-out censorship, so Palin backed down and withdrew her termination letter. People who fought her attempt to oust the Librarian are on her enemies list to this day.

Sarah complained about the “old boy’s club” when she first ran for Mayor, so what did she bring Wasilla? A new set of “old boys”. Palin fired most of the experienced staff she inherited. At the City and as Governor she hired or elevated new, inexperienced, obscure people, creating a staff totally dependent on her for their jobs and eternally grateful and fiercely loyal — loyal to the point of abusing their power to further her personal agenda, as she has acknowledged happened in the case of pressuring the State’s top cop (see below).

As Mayor, Sarah fired Wasilla’s Police Chief because he “intimidated” her, she told the press. As Governor, her recent firing of Alaska’s top cop has the ring of familiarity about it. He served at her pleasure and she had every legal right to fire him, but it’s pretty clear that an important factor in her decision to fire him was because he wouldn’tfire her sister’s ex-husband, a State Trooper. Under investigationfor abuse of power, she has had to admit that more than two dozen contacts were made between her staff and family to the person that she later fired, pressuring him to fire her ex-brother-in-law. She tried to replace the man she fired with a man who she knew had been reprimanded for sexual harassment; when this caused a public furor, she withdrew her support.

She has bitten the hand of every person who extended theirs to her in help. The City Council person who personally escorted her around town introducing her to voters when she first ran for Wasilla City Council became one of her first targets when she was later elected Mayor. She abruptly fired her loyal City Administrator; even people who didn’t like the guy were stunned by this ruthlessness.

Fear of retribution has kept all of these people from saying anything
publicly about her.

When then-Governor Murkowski was handing out political plums, Sarah got the best, Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission: one of the few jobs not in Juneau and one of the best paid. She had no background in oil & gas issues. Within months of scoring this great job which paid $122,400/yr, she was complaining in the press about the high salary. I was told that she hated that job: the commute, the structured hours, the work. Sarah became aware that a member of this Commission (who was also the State Chair of the Republican Party) engaged in unethical behavior on the job. In a gutsy move which some undoubtedly cautioned her could be political suicide, Sarah solved all her problems in one fell swoop: got out of the job she hated andgarnered gobs of media attention as the patron saint of ethics and as gutsy fighter against the “old boys’ club” when she dramatically quit, exposing this man’s ethics violations (for which he was fined)..

As Mayor, she had her hand stuck out as far as anyone for pork from Senator Ted Stevens. Lately, she has castigated his pork-barrel politics and publicly humiliated him. She only opposed the “bridge to nowhere” after it became clear that it would be unwise not to.

As Governor, she gave the Legislature no direction and budget guidelines, then made a big grandstand display of line-item vetoing projects, calling them pork. Public outcry and further legislative action restored most of these projects — which had been vetoed simply because she was not aware of their importance — but with the unobservant she had gained a reputation as “anti-pork”.

She is solidly Republican: no political maverick. The State party leaders hate her because she has bit them in the back and humiliated them. Other members of the party object to her self-description as a fiscal conservative.

Around Wasilla there are people who went to high school with Sarah. They call her “Sarah Barracuda” because of her unbridled ambition and predatory ruthlessness. Before she became so powerful, very ugly stories circulated around town about shenanigans she pulled to be made point guard on the high school basketball team. When Sarah’s mother-in-law, a highly respected member of the community and experienced manager, ran for Mayor, Sarah refused to endorse her.

As Governor, she stepped outside of the box and put together a package
of legislation known as “AGIA” that forced the oil companies to march to the beat of her drum.

Like most Alaskans, she favors drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. She has questioned if the loss of sea ice is linked to global warming. She campaigned “as a private citizen” against a state initiative that would have either a) protected salmon streams from pollution from mines, or b) tied up in the courts all mining in the state (depending on who you listen to). She has pushed the State’s lawsuit against the Dept. of the Interior’s decision to list polar bears as threatened species.

revealed, nice smear piece on Palin. Obama paying you to post lies again? Unfortunately, it doesn't jibe with the ACTUAL record or the experiences of her constituents, who give her the highest approval rating of any governor in the country. Oddly, your smear piece also doesn't seem to mention her ability to take down corrupt politicians in her own party. You know, things that actually matter to people sick of corrupt politicians. Like Obama, for example.

The media has changed from a news source to a bias tabloid.

Democrat for Palin/McCain

so was the media a new source rather than a biased tabloid when it ran 24/7 7 days a week coverage on Rev Wright, ayers, patriotism crap, etc?

Smear job? This is factual and documented. YOu would have had to know this if Palin was vetted.

Thank you, revealed for your extensive copying from whatever the source is. It seems that OB and Sarah, both have quite some baggage, each of his or of her own. The difference is OB runs for president seat and Sarah is for the vice-president seat. Evidently, you have chosen your own poison. So be it.

Can you provide more information against Obama? I bet you can't. Do you know Why he voted present instead of yes and no? or Why he took house from Rezko when there were so many real estate agents in the market?

Abbreviated from Gerard Baker - Times of London… let’s compare the two candidates:

Obama: Worked his way to the top by cultivating, pandering to and stroking the most powerful interest groups in the all-pervasive Chicago political machine, ensuring his views were aligned with the power brokers there.

Palin: Worked her way to the top by challenging, attacking and actively undermining the Republican party establishment in her native Alaska. She ran against incumbent Republicans as a candidate willing and able to clean the Augean Stables of her state's government.

Political Biography

Obama: A classic, if unusually talented, greasy-pole climber. Held a succession of jobs that constitute the standard route to the top in his party's internal politics: "community organizer", law professor, state senator.

Palin:A woman with a wide range of interests in a well-variegated life. Held a succession of jobs - sports journalist, commercial fisherwoman, state oil and gas commissioner, before entering local politics. A resume that suggests something other than burning political ambition from the cradle but rather the sort of experience that enables her to understand the concerns of most Americans.

Political history

Obama: Elected to statewide office only after a disastrous first run for a congressional seat and after his Republican opponent was exposed in a sexual scandal. Won seat eventually in contest against a candidate who didn't even live in the state.

Palin: Elected to statewide office by challenging a long-serving Republican incumbent governor despite intense opposition from the party.

Executive experience

Obama: Makes executive decisions every day that affect the lives of his campaign staff and a vast crowd of traveling journalists

Palin:Makes executive decisions every day that affect the lives of 500,000 people in her state, and that impact crucial issues of national economic interest such as the supply and cost of energy to the United States.

Bottom line: Palin as Veep is more qualified than the Dems pick.

--revealed-- Do you live in Alaska or have any real knowledge of Alaska. I believe most of your spewing is none sense.
I lived in Alaska and know Wailla quite well. These projects were not her ideas but were voted on by the residents, OK. Get your facts straight and get off the Obama band wagon.

Dont go there Miss Wa-Silly

Diamond Lou,

Revert back to passages 1, 2, and 3.

This is the real Palin, and noone knows her better than the folks from her home town and state, no like someone blowing smoke in some London crap.

don't take my word for it

KARL ROVE'S BRILLIANT ANALYSIS.....

Republican strategist Karl Rove said on Face The Nation Sunday that he expects presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama to choose a running mate based on political calculations, not the person's readiness for the job.

"I think he's going to make an intensely political choice, not a governing choice," Rove said. "He's going to view this through the prism of a candidate, not through the prism of president; that is to say, he's going to pick somebody that he thinks will on the margin help him in a state like Indiana or Missouri or Virginia. He's not going to be thinking big and broad about the responsibilities of president."

Rove singled out Virginia governor Tim Kaine, also a Face The Nation guest, as an example of such a pick.

"With all due respect again to Governor Kaine, he's been a governor for three years, he's been able but undistinguished," Rove said. "I don't think people could really name a big, important thing that he's done. He was mayor of the 105th largest city in America."

Rove continued: "So if he were to pick Governor Kaine, it would be an intensely political choice where he said, `You know what? I'm really not, first and foremost, concerned with, is this person capable of being president of the United States."

Yes, the real problem with Tim Kaine is that he's only been governor of a large state for three years, and before that, he was only the mayor of a mid-size city. This, of course, made him "undistinguished," unprepared for national office, and the very idea of putting him on a national ticket was practically ridiculous.

Thanks, Karl.

edit: facts to ponder:
Alaska 670,000
Virginia 7,643,000
Wasilla, Alaska(palin was mayor) Population in July 2007: 9,780
As of 2007, the city of Richmond,Virginia (kaine was mayor) estimated population is 200,123

Sarah has EXECTUTIVE experience *running a government* (something NONE of the other candidates can actually boast, even John McCain as Governor of Alaska and got there by defeating the *incumbent* Republican Governor, who was definitely part of the “old school” and who WAS very much in the pocket of the big oil companies. We in Alaska wanted change – and we got it in the person of Sarah Palin!

Sarah Palin is everything she looks to be and more. Her approval rating as Governor of Alaska has been as high as 95% and is currently leveled out consistently in the upper 80 percentile throughout the state (and in both parties) - the HIGHEST approval rating of ANY sitting Governor.

Palin and her family have been smeared relentlessly by the hard left and nearly the entire mainstream media this past week. McCain really caught them off guard and they are livid. Obama could have chosen a woman VP, but decided instead to go with a six-term Senator to represent his message of "change." Since the announcement of Palin, the left sensed the damage this would cause and has become completely unhinged. Obama operatives are actively planting smears and talking points on multiple left wing blogs. Anything that terrifies the left is something we need much more of. Palin connects with common, decent people. She's an extremely smart and popular governor who is fiercely independent and fights corruption wherever she sees it.

The real unknown is not Palin, who already has an impressive record of accomplishments. The unknown is Obama. What do we really know about him beyond his rhetoric at the Temple of Zeus? Nothing. He's a man with a murky past who the media purposely protects and promotes. He is an unprincipled elitist whose world views have been shaped by communists, socialists, terrorists, indicted fundraisers, anti-American preachers, and Chicago thugs. But somehow those associations aren't newsworthy. Palin's pregnant daughter! Her husband's 22-year old DUI! Now those are important to our country's future! The press has spent much more effort in the past week digging up dirt on Palin than they ever spent unraveling Obama's past and connections to radical organizations (like ACORN, the masters of voter fraud...going on right now in Milwaukee, in fact) in the past 19 months!

I'll make a prediction. If by some fit of insanity Americans do elect Obama, you will quickly see a case of buyer's remorse unprecedented in our history. I've done a lot of research on Obama and his policies (since the media refuses to) and he is not who people think he is. He will, in lockstep with incompetent fools like Pelosi and Reid, run our wonderful country straight into the ground in short order. Mark my words.

These are all documented. The Alaskan Democratic Opposition Research team had released a 67 page report that had been done on Palin.

Should tell your candidate that he should have made a wise judgment call and vetted his pick so she would not have to be vetted in front of the world.

Guys, please give Revealed some credit for spendimg a lot of time to copy articles from some National Inquirers or such. That effort should not go un-noticed. Revealed drinks her or his own kool-aid not mine or yours. Just do not get too high now, Revealed. Kool-aid is Kool-aid, Reps or Libs!

Jack Cafferty is a closet homo and total sexist....stopped watching CNN because of him...they need to sack him.
Palin Rocks, so did Hillary and McCain the Maverick GOT IT RIGHT.....DEMS DIDN'T!

Joe Biden on Obama: "I think he can be ready, but right now I don't believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training."

I think maybe she should have been careful about all the backs she stabbed or stepped on, because it seems like a lot of humming birds are beginning to sing.

Be careful how you treat people.

Palin is making fun of someone being a community organizer? What a joke. What was she doing? Right, member of the PTA. Nice.

And why is no one calling McCain out on this "executive experience" argument? They are essentially saying that she is more qualified than McCain!

If this backwoods country buys this gimmick, it deserves to wallow in the mire that is sure to result.

More stuff on Palin which outlines information that I have document on this blog for the world to see:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13084.html

once again, sarah palin proves her ignorance by not knowing what a community organizer does and the many thankless hours they endure--the amount of organizational and "executive" skills they must possess to carry out their job/mission. so much for her being a "woman of the people."

no, that's okay republican lemmings, please vote for mccain and palin and give us more of the same from these "mavericks."

Debra----Interesting that you refer to someone as a "closet homo" while calling others sexist. Bigot.

Mary...this Mary disputes your "facts". Sarah Palin and her buddy Ted Stevens worked Alaskan politics together. She is no maverick. She is no saint. She is a fraud.

Debra, I never was a fan of Hillary primarily because of her policies. However, what the Obama campaign and their surrogates did to her was absolutely unforgivable. Now we're witnessing an even more vicious character assassination attempt on Palin. It's disgusting and beyond the pale. And even more disturbing, this provides us with a preview of the types of thug tactics we Americans can expect during an Obama administration. It's Chicago-style politics on a national scale. Obama has clearly demonstrated his brand of "change." That should send chills down all our spines.

Smearing helped Obama to get Hillary out of his way.

It will be interesting to see How far Obama will go in this election?

I would like for Revealed to google American Issues Project and please copy the whole articles about OB's camp pressured the Dept of Justice to prosecute the donors of the AIP for supporting the freedom of speech regarding Wllliams Ayres, the unrepented terrorist and OB relationship.

What Barack Obama learned from the Communist Party

http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/07/what_barack_obama_learned_from.html

Please tell how figuring out how many light poles the town needed or man hole covers replaced or whether to put in a sewer system instead of using septic tanks, must have been monumental decision making on Palin's part. Enough to make her qualified to be VP. She is as significant as a fart in a space suit.

how is the media biased in this?

soooo when obama was under the same scrutiny about who he was, was he exotic, what does he believe... that wasnt sexist.. that was fine

but when an unknown, unvetted vp pick is thrust into the spot light, why cant the media ask her questions?

we are right to ask her questions...

and JIM IN OH i dont know why you are confusing hte media with the obama campaign... obamas camp has done nothing to her... they stood up for her, but maybe thats sexist too

the simple fact is, sara palin was a terribly quick unvettted decision by mccain and he is paying hte price...

i hope the media continues to vet her because from what i hear we shouldnt have this unqualified lady anywhere near the presidency

Tim, don't blame it on Obama,
he wasn't in Alaska when she was f'ing up the city and government. He didn't tell her to lie about being for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it, oh, i can go on and on...

Take a long gander at the Republican audienc at this so call convention. If you see anyone not on Social Security your the only one who has. I'll bet the drinks on the floor are a combination of Geritol & Prune juice.

Jim in OH...Sarah Palin knowingly walked her family into arena with the lions. I feel bad for her children because they had no choice. I have no pity for her. She knew what was coming.

saddleblazing
thanx for making me chuckle..i needed it to cool my temper and unbelievable disgust from the trainwreck that is McCain Palin

It was bloggers from Alaska that brought all this information on Palin to the attention of the rest of the country not the news media FYI.

One of the most damaging long-standing associations Obama has is with ACORN--a radical group he worked with in his "community organizing" days and implicated as a contributor to the subprime mortgage meltdown and rampant voter fraud, including recent fraud documented in Lousisiana and Wisconsin.

Google "Democrats' Vote Drive in Louisiana Stirs Concern"

and "10 more voter registration workers face investigation"

MSM's reaction: " Let's get Palin! She has a pregnant daughter!"

Republican woman, stay away from me. Republican woman, mama let me be. Don’t come hangin’ around my door. I don’t wanna see your face no more. I got more important things to do. Than spend my time growin’ old with you. I don’t need your war machines. I don’t need your beauty queens. Northern lights can hypnotize. Sparkle someone else’s eyes. Goodbye, Republican woman. Goodbye, Republican chick. Goodbye, Republican broad ... (Adapted from The Guess Who's American Woman)

Your most welcom Watch who you step on, I'm still waiting for the return of the Republican party that existed prior to Nixon's resignation, when those middle of the road Republican retake the party I will come home.

Character witnesses for McCain -almost everyone who speaks including former Dem VP candidate Lieberman and current Dem VP candidate Joe Biden (I would be honored to run with John MCCain).

How many character witnesses did Obama have at his convention.-zero. Even Hillary talked about a generic Democrat.

To Watch who you step on: Lets talk about Obama's adventure Where will we start: Do you want to start with Ayer? or Do you want start with Rezko or Do you want to talk about why he voted Present or Do you want talk about his judgement on Iraq or do you want to talk about his experience as Campaign Executive or as his Community Organizer(Even a company CEO or a district Manager has more money and people to manage ask any corporate Execs)

bhrandon, you can't be serious. Do you know anything about Chicago politicians and their tactics? I spent time in that city. They have a long history of regularly smearing opponents and destroying them. They plant smears in ways that can't be traced. You can bet Obama's campaign was and continues to be involved in smearing Palin through their surrogates. And I'm not a conspiracy theorist. It's the way those thugs operate.

You all need to listen to what Ron Reagan Jr has to say about this McCain Palin ticket. Says volumes Nancy Reagan isn't at the convention, volumes......

Jim in Ohio,
do you really want to talk about voter registration fraud? Your party? the Republican party that stole the presidency from Gore? The party that evolved from old time "Southern Democrats" in the 60's who were mad as hell that "nig***" were getting a right to vote so they beat them and instituted literacy tests, and poll taxes to block them from voting that they switched parties and declared themselves the Republicans that we have today??

Go sit down, dude

To those of you going off about Cafferty:

How do you respond to the news that many prominent Republicans, including Ronald Reagans son, don't think Palin is ready for the job?

Also, while the rest of the CNN news team were busy digging into the pregnancy story, Cafferty focused on the other, real issues surrounding Palin. You should at least give him some credit for that.

We can talk about Wright also or we can talk about Michelle Obama who was not proud of America. I forgot to metntion these earlier. Smearing can be done.

Tim, you are talking about sh** that has been debunked in the media long ago. It just the racist repugs who wants to see America go backwards that keep bringing it up because they can't find real things on Obama. Oh believe it, they were digging deeply and still are, and that is the best they can come up with.

The media has passed on McCain, but they are sure vetting the hell out of Sarah..good for them

revealed, Palin's political enemies, some of whom she probably helped take down, write opposition research on her to smear her. And you post it and actually believe it as truth. Wow, you must be new to politics.

If Palin wants to play hardball, I hope Obama/Biden give it to her. I am sick and tired of everyone saying they need to "be careful" of how they handle her! If she wants to be in the big league, then she'd better toughen up her skin and take her shots the way everyone else has to! What's sexist to me is the absurd insistence of Republicans that she has to be treated with kid gloves--please!! The woman is vying for the vice Presidency and she needs to be tough. Russia isn't going to treat her like a china doll!

Cafferty has lost his ability to judge properly. So, don't take him seriously. Let him jump up and down and let him say what he want to say.

Why is she poking at Obama. She is not running against him. Already gone to her head and thinks she is the Presidential candidate. Not surprising knowing that Old MCCain is close to being called home by the Almighty. This is one dangerously ambitious woman; NS mbition is horrible when you are not qualified!

Media is not the "Complete Truth". These things can be brought again and hammered to people the same way Obama will try to do with Palin.

Yeah, she should have been careful about the people she used, fired, lied on, and treated like crap.

All the information recovered are facts and is documented well. No smears...just truth.

America is not standing for this. We have way too much to lose.

She is unVice Presidential and McCain does not have the Judgment that America needs in these perilous times.

Vet on media

Watch who you step on, the media is not "vetting" her. She is a threat to their ideology and they are smearing her via character assasination and vicious personal attacks on her family, including her children. Many of these details are immaterial regarding her ability to govern and they go way beyond the norms of decency. Fair-minded Americans across the country are rightly outraged. I'd love to see your reaction if they did this to Obama and his family. You'd scream bloody murder.

Anyone who has the guts to go after the crooks who have had their hands in tax payers pockets for years is going to be slam-dunked. Their money machine ran out of dollars. Some members of the Alaska Democratic Opposition Research team are being investigated too.
More federal money goes from Alaska to Washington than Alaska gets back so why should Alaska not get their fair share? Exception, the military has three very large bases there.

Obama should jump up and down if the Mc Cain has selected unVice Presidential candidates and move on. The truth is you Obama folks and Media thinks that she is trully a VP candidate and she eclipsed the Obama's experience and trying hard to get rid of her the same way you folks did with Clinton.

I'm through talking to some of you uniformed folks. You are beneath me. I've said my piece and I'm moving on.

Put a neocon script in front of Palin and watch her lips move. God help us.

Watch who you step on, so because voter fraud has occurred in the past, we should just ignore it now when Obama's Dem operatives perpetrate it via his ACORN associates? Are you not aware that these are serious federal crimes? Have people gone completely insane? ALL VOTER FRAUD SHOULD BE EXPOSED AND PROSECUTED.

Palin isw not fit to be VP.

Jim in Oh if this had been a Democrat's problem your people would be smearing them to the moon so get off your soap box you've no room to talk and you know it.

1.If Washighton is broken, why hasn't McCain fixed it in all his years there?
2.Neither a woman or a man 'has it all'when they work, have families,have homes/apartments - children need a parent - Is Mr. Palin going to be the full-time parent of 5 children? Can Mrs. Palin be away from all her children - one newborn with special needs and one having a child of her own? on a regular basis?
3. Do politicians really believe women are so shallow and stupid to vote for someone just because their is a female candidate?
4. What political party has provided 'welfare' to corporations? (
chrysler, Fannie Mae?? Left a budget deficit when he had a balanced budget to start with? What political party keeps using
5. Who of the candidates would qualify for the CEO of GE? Exon? GMC? Microsoft?

rudy the dufus

get off the stage

if washington is broke why is the hell will we want to elect 90% of the problem again.

sorry

8 is enough

rudy the dufus

rudy the dufus

john mccain really knows about foreign policy. he is so out of touch with america its like he a foreign citizen.

senator palin??

rudy you are the weakest link

ronnieraygun, who are "my people"? You don't even know my politics or background. Have you seen ANY group openly attacking Obama's children or questioning Obama's ability to effectively father his children on 24/7 news cycles? It is absolutely disgusting what the radical left has done this week. There is no justification for it. None. I don't care what you think of Palin's politics. There is a thing called human decency. There is a line. And people across the political spectrum are outraged. Don't believe me? Read the online Hillary forums.

I LOVE IT!!!!! BYE BYE, DEMWITS!!!!!

MCCAIN/PALIN 08!
COUNTRY FIRST!

Thank you, Omentum, for watching the next Vice President of the United States!!!!!

McCain/Palin 08!
Country First!

THE RNC TONIGHT LOOKED LIKE A HILLBILLY

FAMILY REUNION. I REALLY NEEDED A GOOD

LAUGH! POOR REPULICANS! PLEASENT

DREAMS TONIGHT! BOO

MAN, SHE IS RIPPIN OBAMA A NEW ONE!!!!!

sarah Palin is inexperienced in what she does. she abused her power in alaska becaue of some personal vendetta. who knows if she is going to do the same in the white house. macain and palin support Goerge W Bush who has the lowest popularity rating in the country. nobody wants the same as bush. her pregnant daughter to say the least is a sad case in the eyes of the church.

Wow! I bet Obama's ass is as raggedy as a bowl of Chinese spaghetti right about now!

LMAO!!! :D

PUMA!

McCain/Palin 2008 - In lieu of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

WOW - WAY TO GO SARAH AND RUDY!!! OUTSTANDING!!! ABSOLUTLY, TWO HOME RUN SPEECHES!!!

Kyle

It's over. Sarah and Rudy just knocked Obama out of the box!!!

That tingling Chris Matthews is feeling is cr*p running down his leg. Palin nailed it. Prediction: Obama's camp will now go predictably negative to belittle her now that she made their candidate look like the empty suit he is. I'm also pretty sure they're not happy about her "styrofoam columns" remark. Priceless.
