She is our Margaret Thatcher, our Boadicea.
She's our sister, our daughter, our mother, and our friend.
Tackling her on the issues, even in the slimy ways the left (including the flying monkeys in the media) have done and will continue to do, is unpleasant. Well, that's politics.
But to savagely rip her children apart is unconscionable.
Sarah, you go girl. You defend your precious children, with your confident, singular grace. And you need to know that we --the Americans who want and need the change you bring-- have your back.
Howdy Fan of Fudd!

Did you see baby Trig last night? Slept through the entire thing and then woke up on stage. It was awesome how he looked around at the spectacle as if to say “where the HAY am I?!”
congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats to you AND the Mister.
For perusal before Mark begings the carpet bombing of the evil ones - keeping any eye on the moonbats - e-mail from moveon.org. (My wife got me signed up so I could get an Obama button - for some reason)
Dear MoveOn member,
Did you watch Sarah Palin’s speech last night? The speech told us a lot about her.
It told us that she can distort the facts and deliver mean-spirited zingers with the best of them. It told us that if Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter ever need a stand-in, she’d be a great pick.
It told us that she can be condescending and dismissive of the real work Barack Obama did helping real people on the South Side of Chicago. It told us that she can uphold the long Republican tradition of lying about Democratic tax cuts—even though Obama’s plan would give Americans a bigger break than McCain’s.
But the speech—written by one of President Bush’s speechwriters—didn’t tell us the truth about Sarah Palin’s extremist positions. And the more that people know her far-right views, the less they support her. (There’s a partial list below.)
One of the best ways to get the word out about Palin is to write a letter to the editor of your local paper. Today’s a great day to write because this is very relevant—it just happened last night. Plus, our online tool makes it easy and has great tips. Please take a few minutes to write a quick letter to the editor now:

Palin’s speech and the reaction to it also made clear why McCain picked her. It wasn’t a decision about who’s most qualified to serve a heart-beat away from the presidency—it was a political decision about pleasing the far-right base of the Republican party.
Writing a letter to your local paper is a great way to make sure voters understand that. The opinion pages are the most widely-read pages of the newspaper. Write today, and your letter’s a lot more likely to get published because it’s so topical. It’ll help sway the editorial board too.
Here are a bunch of points you might want to include in your letter:
Palin recently said that the war in Iraq is “God’s task.” She’s even admitted she hasn’t thought about the war much—just last year she was quoted saying, “I’ve been so focused on state government, I haven’t really focused much on the war in Iraq.” 1, 2
Palin has actively sought the support of the fringe Alaska Independence Party. Six months ago, Palin told members of the group—who advocate for a vote on secession from the union—to “keep up the good work” and “wished the party luck on what she called its ‘inspiring convention.’” 3
Palin wants to teach creationism in public schools. She hasn’t made clear whether she thinks evolution is a fact.4
Palin doesn’t believe that humans contribute to global warming. Speaking about climate change, she said, “I’m not one though who would attribute it to being manmade.” 5
Palin has close ties to Big Oil. Her inauguration was even sponsored by BP. 6
Palin is extremely anti-choice. She doesn’t even support abortion in the case of rape or incest. 7
Palin opposes comprehensive sex-ed in public schools. She’s said she will only support abstinence-only approaches. 8
As mayor, Palin tried to ban books from the library. Palin asked the library how she might go about banning books because some had inappropriate language in them—shocking the librarian, Mary Ellen Baker. According to Time, “news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker for not giving “full support” to the mayor.” 9
She DID support the Bridge to Nowhere (before she opposed it). Palin claimed that she said “thanks, but no thanks” to the infamous Bridge to Nowhere. But in 2006, Palin supported the project repeatedly, saying that Alaska should take advantage of earmarks “while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist.” 10
The plain fact of the matter is that Sarah Palin did a bang-up job delivering a Karl Rove-style political attack speech last night. That makes her a skilled politician but it doesn’t make her views any more palatable for voters. Americans don’t really want another far-right, anti-science ideologue in the White House.
Please help get the word out about where Sarah Palin really stands on the issues.

Hi MOgirl!
I tell ya... I am so angry over what she’s having to go through, I’m seriously holding back!
Tank ewe!
Happy Anniversary.
Amen to that, Fuddy.
How they’ve treated Sarah is despicable.
THIS IS WAR!!
Hiya, Fuddie :))
Howard Fineman is giving the media soundbite Rush will dedicate an hour to manana’
Media bias and personal attacks on him personally......
.he is defending himself via media expectations and well...blantant lies......sometimes tv is better than chocolate cake, sometimes.
watching again right now. Michael Steele, “drill baby drill!”
Hey FF, Dr. Frist just on FOX. He will introduce Cindy tonight as they have been on missions to Africa, etc.
Meghan Kelly after taking on the US mag editor yesterday, did the same today to one of the Generals for Obama.
He couldn’t answer the questions or he would be on talking points and she kept pushing him back to answer.
Thanks del!
Exactly!
How do you bare such drivel?
Evening, A.M.!
How's it feel Howie????
Megan Kelly rocks!
Thank you, deer.
Megyn is rapidly becoming one of my heroes!
I understand. But, after last night, I KNOW she is up to the task. And the more over the top the creeps on the left/Media go, the more she will impress the entire nation with her strength of character....
