Many of our sisters on the left "get it". These comments are great and thought I'd pass them along. They begin around 11am on Friday, after the Barackopolis speech and before the Dayton rally. References to MO are for Michelle Obama. Comments about Michelle are interspersed with those about Sarah.
Im not crying anymore. ... Sorry to be catty, but did anyone else think that MOs dress was inappropriate for last nights event?
I am both thrilled for women in general and laughing my ass off at the STUPID DNC!!!
When the misogny starts (and it will) it will make me both happy and sad to see this womans OWN party STAND UP AND FUCKING DEFEND HER.
Obama is smoke and mirrors.
Palin, a mother of five with a son in Iraq, is a stone.
frankly MO should have worn a toga..it would have been more suitable for the occasion.
****
For someone (MO) that has a war room at her disposable, one would think, a fashion consultant would be warranted.
****
John McCain you just won my vote. Congrats.
****
This cant be anything but good news. He has chosen a woman and she will be there to run next time around for the top spot. I know we all wanted it to be Hillary, but that doesnt seen like that will happen, I think we can all honestly look at Sarah and see the stuff she is made of, then we can decide.
****
Text message from MCain to Obama:
U gt SERVD!
Oh, they are gonna attck her big time.
Slam them on their asses, Sarah!!
****
MSNBC will not attack her the way they savaged Hillary however. Why? Because the Republican party elevates women and defends women against mysogymism. That point needs to be driven home at every turn if Palin is the nominee.
****
The Dems are looking like the biggest idiots right now. They have been taken and thrown on the ground and stomped.
****
I fucking hope Palin stands up and LOUDLY THANKS HILLARY for making her run possible. I hope the GOP twists the knife, but good, into those fucking DNC spineless woman-haters.
I just got a look at MOs nomination night dress! (refused to tune in last night).
Is she fashion-challenged or what? She looked like a florists half-dead hospital arrangement assembled from Saturdays leftovers that the shop-owner was on the verge of tossing when a last-minute order came in.
McCain/Palin 08
OMG!!!!!! Im dnacing and crying and laughing all at the same time.
Nothing at all hip about her wardrobe. The dress she wore yesterday resembled something stored in the back of my grandmothers closet or a flower arrangement for a funeral! (IMHO)
Ive just seen the video of Palin out visiting the troops in Iraq, so big points there.
McCain is tacking fast back to his maverick roots.
I just LOVE clinging to my guns and my religion!!!!!
I LOVE HER ALREADY!!!
I was toying with the idea of getting a gun permit now that i live in the country and the sight of Palin nudged me that much closer.
And her hubby IS a hunk! Hes part eskimo.
****
Guys, I am crying. I know shes a Republican, but dammit there is a WOMAN on that stage, and I am bawling.
****
Holy Shit! Palin hubby is hot!
****
Look at Big Mac - hes so proud, hes ready to bust!
****
She is honoring Hillary BIGTIME now.
****
Im crying.
****
WOW, SHE IS GOOD BEYOND GOOD Bambi is sooooo f**ked.
****
She homored womens suffagists, HRC and Ferraro.
She paid respect to HRCs accomplishments.
I am thrilled with this ticket and i will vote McCain/Palin without a single regret.
****
McCain just won the Whitehouse. Palin was a briiliant pick. Middle america is going to love love love this woman.
Sorry, but thats the truth. I know voters.
****
I going to go to a Republican rally this will be my first time and now that the Democratic? Taliban Party jumped off the clift I can now campaign for McCain.
I love McCain/Palin ticket and she give a great speech, if fact better then Obama, who has to have his speeches written for him.
Obama is TOAST!!!
What a bitter young man and those he surround himself with.
Now this is the Republican party I like the reform ticket.
Remember, Martin Luther King jr. was a Republican he never became a Democrat!
****
Did everyone notice the crowd was shouting USA! USA!
At Obama rallies we get the Yes we can
****
The woman was DAMN GOOD. This was no token. McCain just won the Whitehouse.
****
I think the race is over. She said the good old boys network for Gods sake.
****
I think the US Media never expected McCain would have the balls to pick her.
****
Oh man is it wrong that Im starting to love Sarah?
****
I bet Hillary is smiling quietly to herself, thinking, well-played, Senator McCain you just made yourself the next President. And Hillary is so gracious and selfless that I bet that even though she strongly disagrees with Palins politics, she is glad to know that America can elect a woman to the vice presidency.
****
Palin just did what NONE of the Dem leadership could bring themselves to do. She honored Hillarys achievement in a very heartfelt way.
****
Spunky and self-confident. Shell handle Biden just fine.
****
Congratulations John McCain!!
You proved your wisdom and strength.
****
That Speech has blown me away, she sill bring in blue collar voters and women and union members in spades.
****
Rush just said the mention of Hillary and Geraldine was GENIUS! Rush says as the Drive-Bys try to destroy her, they will destroy themselves. Barry could have picked a woman but he didnt. So Joe loves to bloody noses, she knows about getting knocked down and middle America will love her. Rush says she is extremely confident and will inspire other women. Questions for Barry to ask herGovernor is hunting scary? Do you cut your finger on the hook when you fish?
****
It is giving me great personal joy that it will be a WOMAN who exacts the price for what the DNC did to Hillary. Palin will win this election for McCain, no doubt in my mind.
****
She is so articulate and a quick thinker; she appeared so natural and sincere when speaking.
thank you john mccain!
I am proud of you for once gain doing the RIGHT thing.
****
SHe is very articulate and is able to pump up the ticket!!
Let us NEVER forget what the DEmocrats did to Hillary and 2 days ago we all vowed to clean out the party and put it back on track and John McCain just made it a whole lot easier.
BTW, I loved that from a servants heart.
****
McCain found the one running mate who is human and so grounded, she has the all american family that has been missing here.
Her family is real, not plastic fabricated and that my friends is going to be what wins the WH for McCain. The woman is a real person, a real blue collar not like Biden. Shes a grafter. Shes a mother and a wife and a human.
****
If we have to give up the Supreme Court and abortion rights for some freakin R-E-S-P-E-C-T and crush the Democrats for their misogynistic stupidity, it might be worth it.
****
YES WE CAN vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin!!!
It will be a pleasure to vote for a Republican for President for the first time in my life.
****
I cant wait to wear a Palin t-shirt!!!!
Here we go again. Hillary has to iron his fucking shirts.
No ball for Cinderella, but get busy mending my ballgown, bitch!
****
amino is standard
and let them yell it from the rooftops because it only affirms that her convictions go to the bone. she has said that that little thing is perfection.
****
If you know your baby may not be what society deems as normal and you makethe decision to go to term. BRAVO. I think this aspectof who governor Palin is should be let go. It is about choice and she made a courageous one. Can we stop there.
****
When i look at Obama Biden, i see two lawyers.
When i look at McCain Palin, i see a soldier and a mother.
****
I must say she and McCain made me feel hopeful today after these last few months!
**** Gail Collins (NY Times) writes that Joe Biden may already be practicing his drop-dead line for the VP debate: I know Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is a friend of mine, and governor, youre no Hillary Clinton. To which my response would be, plagurising again Senator. **** The Palins are going to become popular beyond belief, there is just something about them, it really reminds me of Bill and Hillary in 1992 only with gender reversal and a different party.
Wow....landslide. Mark my words.
\ How you like me NOW, bitch? |
The more I learn about her, the more I like her.
Why? I think Hillary sees in Sarah the woman she could have been had she not hitched her wagon to the evil that was Bill Clinton.
Her lust for power was only upstaged by his lust for women. Had she left the jerk during the Monica affair she'd have changed history altogether.
Nothing she could say, think, or do from this point foward could be believed to emanate from truth or have virtue as she had abandoned it wilfully. A Goldwater Girl gone bad.
There was an incident not long after she became Governor concerning her sister. The sister was married to an Alaska State trooper who...shall we say...wasn’t exactly what you’d call an upstanding example of a lawman. Domestic violence and alcohol was involved. Anyway, the sister and the trooper were in the midst of a nasty divorce (custody rights were involved). The accusation is that Governpor Palin used her power to try to get the trooper fired from the State Patrol.
According to most people, she never TOLD anyone to “fire him”, but rather suggested to his commander that someone who behaved as he did (there were other incidents involving alcohol) wouldn’t be a good fit for the State Patrol.
Given the fact that the ex-trooper’s wife was the Governor’s sister, it could be seen as using her power to help a family member. However, given that the ex-trooper, by a majority of the accounts, was a class-A scumbag who probably shouldn’t have been an LEO in the first place, I think we can give Gov. Palin a pass on this.
If I have inadvertantly posted any inaccuracies about this incident, I humbly apologize.
Big deal, if she is guilty of using her power against this scumbag who beat her sister, tased his stepson, was a drunk. MORE POWER TO HER!

It takes the wind out of Biden’s sails with his abused women’s act...
Biden law was necessary but Sarah has showed that she protects women also...
GREAT POST!
Thanks for compiling this. This stuff trumps all of the articles I’ve been reading!
Todd had better be careful in D.C., some lib will try to get him to stray, then use it against Sarah.
Thank you for clarifying that. In my opinion, if she did act against the guy (a state LEO), it was totally the right thing to do, no matter WHO his wife was.
Her lust for power was only upstaged by his lust for women. Had she left the jerk during the Monica affair she’d have changed history altogether.
Nothing she could say, think, or do from this point foward could be believed to emanate from truth or have virtue as she had abandoned it wilfully. A Goldwater Girl gone bad.

I watched her on TV the night she and Bill were on that show where she “stood by her man”
I didnt know her well until then, but I had little respect for her after that appearance...
She came across as insincere...
I remember thinking..”You dont know if he cheated or not. He could be lying to you now, just to get elected.”
Needless to say, I didnt feel sorry for her...
She should have just stayed home...
And yes, divorced him...
One that made her butt look as big as the taxes BHO will stick us with.
I’ve read so much that I don’t know where I saw this but it was a comment that McCain chose her on his own against his advisors.
Mrs. GAB, who is rarely wrong in her political judgment, thinks Biden was not Obama’s first pick, and several leading Democrats turned Obama down.
I think the comments are genuine, I heard them all day yesterday from women that I know are liberal. I have a sister-in-law that is a Democrat, was a supporter of Hillary and she is thrilled about Palin. I never understood my SIL being a Democrat to begin with- she is anti-abortion but bought into the whole idea that the Democrats are the party for the downtrodden, and the women. She no longer believes that at all and is now a supporter of McCain/Palin all the way. My SIL is a California soccer mom, and if there is truth to the legend that soccer moms like her elected Bill Clinton twice, then Obama is in trouble. It is exciting, for once I can talk politics with my SIL without it turning into an arguement!!
I do realize Hillary had hard core supporters that are solidly and rabidly pro-abortion, pro-democrat and I know they will not switch to McCain- but I think many are like my SIL and will now support McCain.
You pretty much captured the essence of the incident!
I would only add that the brother in law tased his own kid, threatened to kill family members, and was/is a total a@@hat...
My husband would agree with her. He thinks Kaine and Bayh passed.
I believe the ex-brother in law admitted Tazering his stepson - supposedly “training” him. Palin fired the Investigator of the incident because the investigator wanted to sweep the incident under the carpet. Apparently Sarah Palin doesn’t take kindly to corruption and indolence in public officials.
I don't have the heart to tell them I'm one of Hillary's 18 million voters and that it won't happen again. =)
