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.
I’m not crying anymore. ... Sorry to be catty, but did anyone else think that MO’s dress was inappropriate for last night’s 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 woman’s 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 can’t 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 doesn’t 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 MO’s 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 Saturday’s leftovers that the shop-owner was on the verge of tossing when a last-minute order came in.
McCain/Palin ‘08
OMG!!!!!! I’m 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 grandmother’s closet or a flower arrangement for a funeral! (IMHO)
I’ve 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! He’s part eskimo.
****
Guys, I am crying. I know she’s 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 - he’s so proud, he’s ready to bust!
****
She is honoring Hillary BIGTIME now.
****
I’m crying.
****
WOW, SHE IS GOOD BEYOND GOOD Bambi is sooooo f**ked.
****
She homored women’s suffagists, HRC and Ferraro.
She paid respect to HRC’s 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 that’s 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 God’s sake.
****
I think the US Media never expected McCain would have the balls to pick her.
****
Oh man…is it wrong that I’m 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 Palin’s 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 Hillary’s achievement in a very heartfelt way.
****
Spunky and self-confident. She’ll 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 didn’t. 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 her—Governor 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. She’s a grafter. She’s 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 can’t 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, you’re 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.
[Thanks for compiling this. This stuff trumps all of the articles I’ve been reading!]
Happy to do it! I am surprised by my own elation over the Palin pick (after all, I was hoping for Romney) but I mean Sarah just ROCKS!
McCain is both genius and hero.
Would you rather have seen Mccain pick an old, worn-out RINO like Ridge, Lieberman or even Romney?? I guess you would have, by your statements. And such a move would have INSURED that the base would have said, “ho-hum” and not voted, gave or volunteered...now...the base is on FIRE, like it has not been in a LONG time!!
Look—there IS going to be a female VP or even Pres SOMETIME...WHY NOT it be one of OURS, someone with good morals and values—instead of Hillary??
I must say—I was tearful when I heard of the pick, and not because I was disappointed—but because I KNEW that the would change the dynamics of the WHOLE election!!
There’s nothing wrong with the Palin pick per se. Personally, I like her a lot.
But there’s all SORTS of wrong in celebrating her solely because she’s a woman.
Insight into the leftist Nazi/tyranny that awaits any country foolish to enlist their services.(that's about 90% of the world)
These little nuggets are a reminder why this country was founded: to thwart tyrannical government. The fact that America raises thoroughbred tyrants should come as a suprise, but it doesn't. Our Founders would have raised guns in resistence to this infection.
An ammendment I'd like to see would read something like this: "When a representative or senator displays a consistent disregard for the constitution and bill of rights, said representative or senator shall be relieved of duty, suspended in pay, and a special election be held within six months to allow the state effected time to find a suitable replacement."
Bump for later read -— I haven’t stopped laughing yet .................... FRegards
It's not that she's 'soley' a woman- she's a conservative Woman. They are few and far between in national politics. I've never trusted estrogen as far as I can throw it, so I have some reservations, but my experience has been with Feinstein and Boxer- two of the nastiest women to wear Senator on their name tags. My state is screwed but I hold out hope for the other 49 (or is that 56?).
The nomination of Sarah Barracuda has put a stake through the heart of any further Clinton ambitions, imo. That's a good thing, but we've only started, I hope.
If we don't reverse the socialist tide in this country life will be hell for our children and grandchildren. The supremes gave us a straw (Heller) and I grasped it, McCain has tossed us a straw with Palin and I connected, I've got alot of room in my hands for more.
Internationally, the promotion of a woman to such high office could have repercussions we'll not enjoy in our lifetimes. Burkhas? Traded in for a bikini and Muzzie boy might just have to deal with it. "Too bad, fundamentalist breath". What could be worse than having Middle Eastern women kick their jihadie boyfriends in the nuts over J.C. Penny summer wear? If it takes estrogen to drag these guys kicking and screaming into the 21st Century, so be it. But it must be used wisely. Pelosi is an example where it's been abused. Others can learn from our example.
Didn’t she also have his commander fired?
Personally, I don’t think they know the difference.
“I wonder if they even realize they are are suggesting the tactics of Hitler and Goebbels, and for that matter, Saddam Hussein by suggesting something like this”
The left respects brute force, it is their hallmark. It would be hard for them not to realize what they are saying. They just have a different (Machiavellian) value system.
That's a sucker bet. Bill and Hill's game is to appear to be enthusiastically supporting Hussein Obama and uniting the party (because they absolutely MUST give that appearance) but they are certainly working beneath the radar like dogs to do whatever it takes to make sure Hillary has a clear, Obama-free shot at 2012.
These are the Clintons, and they are pissed. This was supposed to be Hillary's year.
Who does this community agitator from Chicago, this empty suit, this complete scumbag, think he is?
Bump.
I suggest we are about to see a political revolution. In months to come, your sister-in-law, and millions of others will become known as
Palin Democrats
Wonder which of the 7 words Obama uttered in response to the news of Sarah?? :-)
I thought the simplicity of this observation above was striking:
When i look at Obama Biden, i see two lawyers.
When i look at McCain Palin, i see a soldier and a mother.
