Saint Sarah [Newsweek's Full Bore Palin Attack]
Newsweek ^ | June 11, 2010 | Lisa Miller

Posted on 06/11/2010 10:44:41 AM PDT by Steelfish

Saint Sarah To white evangelical women, Sarah Palin is a modern-day prophet, preaching God, flag, and family—while remaking the religious right in her own image.

Another memoirist might prefer to keep such matters private, but Sarah Palin is not another memoirist. In Going Rogue: An American Life, Palin describes, perhaps for the first time in the history of political autobiography, a furtive trip to an out-of-state drugstore to obtain a do-it-yourself pregnancy test. This was in the fall of 2007, when the 43-year-old mother of four was governor of Alaska and began to notice “some peculiar yet familiar physical symptoms, like the smell of cigarettes making me feel more nauseated than usual.” So, while on business in New Orleans—at a time and in a place where her anonymity was still possible—Palin procured the kit. In the privacy of her hotel room, she “followed the instructions on the...box. Slowly a pink image materialized on the stick.

Bill Pugliano Sarah Palin's pro-woman rallying cry is poised to transform the Christian right into a women's movement. View a photo gallery of how her following has become big business. Cult of Palin “Holy geez!”

Sarah Palin campaigned right along side with Nikki Haley
in South Carolina. The other night on FOX Nikki said Sarah’s support helped here through the campaign and the attacks she went through, she had high praise for Sarah.

“Well, there was that thread where you said you had my real name and the name of my employer, with the subtle hint that you wanted to call them and get me fired.”

Are you freeking kidding me?

Oh, I guess you’re not...just checked and I now see there’s nothing close to a denial in the reply. I hope you won’t stand for this rabs...I’d report it as soon as possible.

Good, it is no time to be optimistic. Think about that. It is time to think about the fight ahead. The hot piece here is a creation from reading the silly missy messiah posts on FR threads and other Palin is godlike sites. Palin is a normal woman. Not some perfect godlike creature. Blame your silliness if she is rejected in a primary. People jumped the Huckleberry for the same crap.

Geesh, you and those like you are going to ruin any chance Palin has. The Independents, who we need, will not vote for this person you have created. Palin needs to reign you and your ilk in.

I think Palin has had her fill of elective office. I don’t see her running for office ever again. What has she to gain by doing so?

Lol. I already challenged Rabs to back that up, and he hasn't

You actually believe such a post exists?

Maybe you should ask Rabs to link to it.

Want to be he won't?

If I were a gambler, my bet would be on rabs. He would’t make something like that up and clearly it wasn’t denied.

No. Palin is not perfect.

But she inspires regular people to get involved. She would get them to the voting booth too.

But I would be carefull if I were you. We need more people that are passionate. We need more people that are willing to be involved. I don’t think trying to squash enthusiasim and excitment is a really good way to go about things. What you say is demoralizing. I am not going to throw in the towel.

I strongly believe that where there is passion, momentum and the American spirit shines, independents will follow.

I think she realizes that our country needs her and people like her. That is why she would run. If she is in the right place at the right time.

and she has a very good chance to get the nomination. And I don’t think the general electorate is against her overall. Some have questions and doubts, but middle of the roaders against her overall.

If she can pull them over in the midwest and take Florida. she could win.

I would link to it, but the thread had already been yanked by the Mods, so maybe you should ask them for it.

I have, yet, to read any AZ Freeper saying they are voting for McCain.

The post to which you replied was referring to all Ariz. voters. Last I checked, Ariz. FReepers != Ariz. voters. If the two sets were one and the same, then J.D. would be winning 99-1.

But you guys make it seem like John McCain is the second coming of Ted Bundy.

McCain betrayed his fellow POWs and MIAs in the early '90s. And why? So he could curry favor with his fellow Dems--like John F'in Kerry--and the Communist Vietnamese government.

Doughty will come along and post another little link. I am looking for his next link to say “John McCain eats human eye balls”

Tell that to D1 yourself.

There is a fine line between being optimistic and being drunk on Kool-Aid.

WE are on FReeRepublic - when you post your posts are NOT going to AZ voters but AZ Freepers who vote conservative.

So take your ‘dumb enough’ rant onto the streets of AZ to reach the voters. Pissing and moaning to the choir does NOTHING constructive.
