'She's like a moose going after a cabbage'
Times Online ^ | September 4, 2008 | Times Online

Posted on 09/04/2008 4:46:11 AM PDT by mmanager

Here in Wasilla, the small Alaskan town where until two years ago Sarah Palin was mayor, her speech officially to accept the Republican Party's Vice Presidential nomination was greeted with tears and disbelief.

Crowded into Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill on Parks Highway, her friends and most ardent of supporters, many of them wearing 'Go Sarah!' T-shirts and badges that read 'The Hottest Governor of the Coldest State' watched the entire performance at full volume on flatscreen televisions, alternatively cheering, whooping, clapping, dabbing at their eyes, and, finally, giving her a standing ovation. Around them, hockey memorabilia hung from the walls - a reminder of Palin's 'hockey mom' background.

Still wearing his blue Postal Service uniform after a long shift, David Parcha, 47, told The Times: "I've seen this coming for four years, man. When she was inaugurated as governor of Alaska, I told my teenage sons, 'go to the ceremony, this is going to be historic.'"

More like a Cuda going after bait fish. I believe we have witnessed the ushering in of a new kind of politics in Washington. There are other Sarah's out there and John McCain insight will change the next generation of elected officals. Who woulda thought?

"My husband and I are both gold miners, and right now we have water flowing through our sluice box, and when that occurs we don't do a lot of socialisin'," she said.

More information perhaps than I need to know...

Meaning they are looking for “color” (ie. gold)

As I watched her last night I kept thinking how proud Ronald Reagan would be to see this lady standing up for his principles. She represents hope for the future of conservatism and the Republican Party.

Reminds me of a post I made yesterday.

Palin Shoots Down A Tired Agenda
***But , but, but... that agenda was just mindin’ its own business, like a moose eating cabbage. She shot Bullwinkle.

.

Here’s how I’ve been bumping Palin/Obama threads today.

Sung to the tune of “Oh! Susanna, don’t you cry for me.”

“Oh, no Bama, please don’t lie to me... for I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.”

I come from Minnesota with my laptop on my knee;
I’m goin’ to Free Republic my true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left,
the weather it was dry;
The sun so hot I froze to death,
Obama don’t you lie.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I come from Minnesota,
with my laptop on my knee.

I had a dream the other night,
When everything was still;
I thought I saw Obama dear,
A-coming down the hill.
The smearing lie was in Duluth,
The tear was in his eye,
Said I, I’m coming for the truth
Obama don’t you lie.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.

I fight in my pajamas,
It’s plain for all to see.
I aim to be the next Buckhead;
The media all hate me.
I fell in love with Sarah
When my sister bit a moose.
The Guvnor’s family ate it up
And then they set it loose.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.

She loves her sons, she likes her guns,
and Trigonometry.
The media will jump the shark
When Juan makes history.
Well, JimRob knows she’ll pave the trolls
So controversially,
And Berg will knock Obama down
With friends of Hillary.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.

I soon will be in Hawaii,
And then I’ll look all ‘round,
And when I find his birth record,
I’ll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find it,
This Freeper’ll surely die,
And when I’m dead and buried,
Obama don’t you lie.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you cry for me;
I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee

Heaven forbid Obama should win the WH in November, but if he does, Hillary can forget about 2012 because it will be Sarah's time.

” I believe we have witnessed the ushering in of a new kind of politics in Washington”

We will pretty much be voting for her - Johnny Mac just being a good leadin.

You folks in Alaska need to be real proud of your good judgement in putting her where she is. Excellent is maybe a better word.
The lower 48 has just gone ballistic on respect for ya’all as we say down here in Georgia(USA)

Reminds me of a tee shirt I used to have advertising Syracuse U and Moleson beer.
The moose is loose in Syracuse.

Well our Pit bull has just taken hold of Obama’s pant leg and as people suspected it’s an empty suit.

“heaven forbid obama should win the white house in november, but if he does, hillary can forget about 2012 because it will be sarah’s time.”

the democrats own many voting machines. they set them up so that there is always a doubt about the outcome of the election. because of that, there will never again be an honest election; there will only be litigation and controversy as a result of democrat subversion of the election process.

i’m afraid that sarah’s words will only be warm fuzzies that we can carry around with us as we watch arrogant, psychotic, adolescent democrat swine, with faulty toilet training, riding roughshod over people’s property and incomes “for the children”.
