Note: The slogan was originally posted to FR by Renfield. Islander7 created the graphic. I've merely taken the initiative in publicizing it. It's so good, it may well be the "Sore/Loserman" of the 2008 election.
the moose ate my cheese? or moved my cheese? how does that go?

I’m was jazzed to see Palin nominated - it will make pulling the handle for McCain doable without holding my nose.
First, it was that Sarah wasn't Trig's mom. Rather, Bristol Palin gave birth to Trig, and it was all covered up.
Now, it's moving to yes, Sarah did give birth to Trig, but Bristol is pregnant right now.
Here's a hint for all you guys: if they say a photo was taken in "late 2006" or "early 2007" and then in the background, there are all green trees, then the shot probably wasn't in winter in Alaska. If there's no snow or colored leaves in the background, then the photo is probably between April and October... Yeah, global warming blah blah blah, but it ain't that bad in Alaska.
Let them keep obsessing with this. It's sort of funny, and it'll go nowhere.

With McCain. Huckabee and Romney there as well.
And her hair is down.
The VP's sole Constitutional duty is to preside over the Senate and cast a tie-breaking vote if needed. Other than that, the VP job is a nullity.
If the Democrat-controlled Congress passes an amnesty bill, the odds are McAmnesty will sign it. Palin will have nothing to say about it.
If the Democrat-controlled Congress passes another gun ban, it will be up to McCain to decide whether to sign it or not. Palin's pro-gun history will have nothing to do with the issue.
Palin's selection is at best a straw in the wind about what McCain will do once in office. His history isn't very encouraging.
“She’s a normal person, ...”
The REAL reason she appeals to so many.
Exactly. Four presidents generally ranked in the top fifteen by historians have had experience comparable to Governor Palin’s prior to assuming office: Franklin Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Grover Cleveland.
Sarah Palin spent four years as a City Council Member for Wasilla, Alaska, two years as Mayor of Wasilla, and two years as Governor of Alaska.
FDR spent just over two years in the New York State Senate, eight years as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and four years as Governor of New York.
Theodore Roosevelt spent some time in the New York State Assembly(?), two years as Governor of New York, two years as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and less than one year as Vice President of the United States.
Woodrow Wilson spent eight years as President of Princeton University and two years as Governor of New Jersey.
Grover Cleveland spent two years as Sheriff of Erie County, two years as Mayor of Buffalo, and two years as Governor of New York.
Overall, I’d say that Palin’s background is comparable with that of several presidents considered highly successful, even considering that her state has a smaller population than the other two states on the list.
In contrast, I was unable to find a single President of the United States who had a complete absence of executive experience and as little legislative experience as Obama’s four years in the United States Senate after eight years in the state senate. While there were several presidents with experience comparable to Biden’s 25 years in the United States Senate, his notable accomplishments tend to be in the direction of millions of dollars per year in earmarks for his district rather than reducing wasteful spending or fighting corruption in either his own party or in Washington as a whole.
While Obama has been running for office for as long as Palin has been running a state, I find it hard to consider the two tasks as comparable preparation.
One final note: I will be posting this multiple times because I think it is important to get the word out that that her experience is in keeping with previous presidents. I apologize to those who are annoyed by seeing it too often.
I just sent in my stimulus payment to them anyone wanna match it
Go MCCain Palin
Yep.
The Fighter Pilot and the Moose Hunter v. Smugs ‘n Plugs.
LOL...okay, I hate to pick nits here, but McCain was no fighter pilot...
I think it would be perfectly acceptable to say instead:
“The Attack Pilot and The Moose Hunter”.
Good article!
