Gutsy ... Sarah Palin
This woman has got more balls than most British male MPs. She would get my vote in an instant.
She’s a real gutsy, good-looking woman who is truly the epitome of the feminist dream.
She comes from working-class stock, has used her brains and looks to get on and has carved out a great career as a politician and Governor.
Unlike Barack Obama, she is the real thing — an ordinary person with more than a dream and a snake oil salesman’s patter.
While Obama has been touring the world like a cross between Bono and Saint Bob, she has been raising children and coping with the real pressures of family life. I love the way she stuck to her principles and refused to abort her Down’s syndrome baby. She is firmly against the termination of children and isn’t afraid to express her anti-abortion views.
She’s hard-line on the death penalty and obviously subscribes to her dad’s bumper sticker view that a vegetarian is just a bad hunter.
In short, she’s my kind of gal — and I suspect most of America’s too.
Last week some thought John McCain had a fight on his hands as he took on Obama, the Bloated Broadcasting Corporation (who have almost canonised the inexperienced and untested kid) and the world’s press.
But this week, with wonder woman by his side, it’s become a walk in the park. Now, the opposition are trying to undermine this very real threat to the Messiah by criticising Palin’s daughter for getting pregnant and Sarah for wanting to keep it quiet.
However, this is another own goal from the so-called Chosen One because, surely, Sarah is only doing what any mum would do and trying to protect her daughter.
No doubt — just like I would if faced with that scenario — she probably went ape on hearing of the pregnancy but, very soon after, she was there supporting her just like and any other decent parent.
What real family doesn’t or hasn’t had to face similar problems?
As for her daughter’s 18-year-old boyfriend writing stupid comments on his website, which one if us wasn’t guilty of being stupid when we were teenagers?
And, besides, I would rather someone was straight and called themselves an effing redneck, than pretend they were Mother Teresa, JFK or Barack Obama.
We need real people in politics with real-life experiences and it would appear that, at last, America has found their own Mrs T.
I can’t wait for the next 60 days to be over and for the man the press would have us believe can walk on water to drown in a tidal wave of his own hype.
And, for the record, if I wasn’t married, yes I would.
A NEW report says that a concrete ceiling is stopping women getting top jobs in Britain.
What a pity they didn't pour the concrete before Jacqui Spliff, Harriet Harman, Esther Rantzen, Hazel Blears and all the wimmin that run the Beeb got up on the roof.
For the record, I wouldn't!
I was there last year and took my kids
it is nott he same as it used to be as many pakistani’s are now taking over but you can still have a good laugh there and the kids loved the amusements and rides
like me
I’m here after leaving her majesty’s service of the armed services to raise my kids
Agreed on all counts. They've done it before, and hopefully they will be able to do it again soon.
All the best to you!
oh oh and it will only get worse for PZ. Sarah Palin believes in creation and her father was a science teacher, so she knows all about evolution.
“We don’t want to get drawn away from the important message of defeating those bad policies by the temptation of cheap shots at her appearance and sex, especially because those cheap shots make her look like a sympathetic victim and help advance the Republican agenda.
So please, think. Casual sexism plays into the hands of the bad guys on both sides. What frightens me most is that Palin got up and lied and said nothing of substance, and people are so distracted by the fact that she has breasts that the lies were allowed to slide by”
He can’t even stop himself from contradicting himself in the same sentence
btt
HAHAHAHAHA.
VERY nice!!!! Thank you!
Thanks for suggesting it. It’s a good idea.
This is the latest from the atheist, P Z Myers’ web site:
WOW...powerful stuff, particularly given the source. Thanks so much for posting!
And with every word coming from the mouths of Obama and Biden, they open the throttle a bit more on the afterburner which is sending them hurtling at multiMach speed down into the turgid cauldron of defeat and ultimate irrelevancy.
Unless Senator McCain and Governor Palin make a monumental mistake between now and Election day, the fate of the Left is sealed; stick a fork in them, they're done.
Indeed....decade after decade, the Left thinks that they can win over Americans with shrill, hysterical, UGLY anti-American Socialists....and yet we keep beating them back. They never seem to learn, which is fine with me :-)
Gotta love these Brits and their way with words!
I believe that our British FReeper Friends will concur :-)
In my personal (and fallible) book, Palin is a Margaret Thatcher
"in-the-making".
Many agree, and so I don't think your book is fallible in this instance :-)
She is exactly what we need.
PS: Thank you Stoat for the post.
Otherwise I might naively guess that "Shanahan" was some sort
of Anglisized version of an Arabic family name...
You're quite welcome, and I'm delighted that you've found it to be worthwhile :-)
This day is good.
Lord knows she probably be the best pitcher on their staff right now.
Indeed, and I can't imagine her being sent to the back benches anytime soon.
We could well be looking at a serious contender for President one day, and if her term as VP ends up being as good as things seem at this early point I will have zero troubles in pulling the lever for her.
