Sarah Palin might just push me back to the Republicans

Is this the single most influential blog in American politics?

According to reports in Anchorage and Colorado, a 21-year-old undergraduate called Adam Brickley may be responsible for Sarah Palin's Vice-Presidential nomination. His relentless online promotion of her was eventually picked up by the MSM, and the idea of her candidacy was seeded in Republican minds.

Well, Adam, as they say in the US, kudos to you. Sarah Palin is the best thing to have happened to the GOP since the primaries began. Mrs Hannan - who, in an unpolitical way, is a much better conservative than I am - is especially enthusiastic about her, and has joined the growing band of people who have lost patience with my fondness for Obama.

Actually, I've been a tad disappointed by my candidate over the past couple of days. His campaign team has taken to whingeing: "The Republicans are fighting dirty", "They're inflating the numbers at his rallies", "They've lied about Palin visiting Iraq", "They're running the sleaziest campaign in history".

Dude, snap out of it! Your appeal is based on the idea that you're above all that, remember? You're the Democrat who never misses an opportunity to be obliging about Right-wingers, the guy who didn't recognise that there were red states and blue states. That was your best line, and your best moment.

Only a handful are voting for McCain, the rest of us are pulling the leaver for Mrs. Palin.

I was ready to bite the bullet and go pull the lever for McCain.....but I am THRILLED to pull the lever for Palin....

Actually it was my email to the Gov that was the deciding factor....prove me wrong.

Are there really people stupid enough to believe that idiocy? No wonder the world is in such a mess!

[PowerPro]

Actually, it was MY email to the McCain campaign that did it.

;)

[Coldwater Creek]

I have no clue as too what you are talking about, so why would I want to prove you wrong??

[Coldwater Creek]

There ya go!

Actually I was responding to the article.

John McLaim is becoming window dressing..
As he should be.. Its Sara Palin all the time..

That may be the plan.. Get elected by whatever means..
AND push Palin into the background.. as McLAim becomes extremely bipartisan..
For....... FOUR EXTREMELY LONG YEARS...

p.s. of course Sara COULD RESIGN... after being elected..

[Coldwater Creek]

OK! I took it to me me personally.

It could be. But, I think McCain was depending on his buddies in the MSM to come through for him, and was very disappointed when he found that they were in the tank for Obama.

He doesn't strike me as a man to forget a percieved wrong. In that light, he might well embrace the Palin line and the Conservative base. After all, it would have proved to be a winning strategy.

[Radl]

Nope ...my blunder.

“Are there really people stupid enough to believe that idiocy?”

The short answer is YES. Millions have been gulping down this donkey drivel for the better part of 2 years, unchallenged (key word: unchallenged).

Then, about 2 weeks ago, for the first time ever, Bami got himself bitch-slapped in public. And it hurt.

The Bible provides lessons relating to pride and conceit. Essentially, those WAY too full of themselves, ALWAYS, crash and burn.

ITS THAT SIMPLE.

I was amused by yet another attack on Sarah Palin (and on the state of Alaska) in the DU world:

I'm just biding my time wondering when people are going to put 2 and 2 together on this woman. She's in Alaska because that's where the white supremacy survivalist types think they are going to survive the nuclear holocaust. Then they will get to replenish the earth by re-seeding it with white people.

In fact, they kind of looking forward to it.

Her anti-abortion stance is covered by her religion but ultimately stems from the white survival impulse. Seeding the earth with white babies is so important that even rape and incest cannot excuse abortion.

So Sarah Palin is a racist, as evidenced by her living in Alaska. Not only a racist, but she is pushing for the elimination of African Americans.

These people are coming unglued.

[Cats Pajamas]

they won’t be able to steal it now either.
MY DAUGHTER LIVES IN TALLAHASSEE
CRIST HAS IN PLACE PLAN FOR PALM BEACH AND OTHER PLACES
MEASURES ARE BEING PUT IN PLACE
PEOPLE ARE BEING MOVED INTO PLACE FOR THE OVERTURE
THAT COULD BE TRIED IN THOSE HEAVY DEMOCRAT COUNTIES
THE MAIN LESSONS WERE LEARNED IN 2000
NEVER WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN
DON’T DOUBT IT

You're the Democrat who never misses an opportunity . . .

. . . to miss an opportunity. (apologies to Abba Eban)

[ DU-->> Her anti-abortion stance is covered by her religion but ultimately stems from the white survival impulse. Seeding the earth with white babies is so important that even rape and incest cannot excuse abortion. ]

Totally overlooking entirely the abortion rate in the african american community.. much higher than for the whites.. Not to speak of african american unmarried birth rate is well over 80%.. and that is generally.. SOme places its almost 100%.. Few african american babies that do survive have a father.. (that can be found).. many women don't even know who the father IS..

This is scandalous in the extreme.. And to think the Jobama campaign is running greater than 90% black votes.. There is a disconnect somewhere.. And whitey didnt do it..
