Yanks should give thanks for Sarah (Brit tab: "Unlike Barack Obama, she is the real thing")

 Gutsy ... Sarah Palin

Gutsy ... Sarah Palin

 
Jon Gaunt

Yanks should give thanks for Sarah

 
 

DON’T you wish we had politicians like American Republican Sarah Palin instead of the identikit, spineless amoebas that infest Westminster?

 

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.

Threat

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.

WHY, why, why can’t WE have a Sarah Palin?

Consider how long we've had a "Margaret Thatcher" on back order...
 

Hopefully, one of the numerous Good Things that will come of a McCain / Palin victory will be not only in reenergizing the Republican party but also British Conservatives.  My hope is that they might look at this and say "hey, if the Yanks can do it so can we".  If the Brits start demanding something en masse, they just might get it.

So how will the Lib Dhims react if even the foreigners back McPalin?

So, you don't think that the endorsements from Hezbollah and the Communist Party would be enough to make them happy?

(((((snicker)))))

Outstanding poster, Stoat. And a great couple of articles by our conservative friends across the pond.

America had it’s little spat with England when we chose to go our own way, but when the chips are down (both world wars, Iraq, etc.)we always stand “side by side.”

Thank you so much for your kind words, and I'm delighted that you've found it to be worthwhile  :-)

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

Sounds like a wonderful holiday full of grand, screaming fun.  Hopefully you will always be able to get bangers and mash for breakfast there and will never be forced to have a curry if you don't want it  :-).

"Blackpool"

My next English destination. After visiting Great Yarmouth (among other destinations) two years ago, I told my Norwich born and raised wife that Blackpool had to be next. She told me I was barmy. I guess that must be an English word of praise. (smirk)

a clockwork orange of mediocrity

Gotta love these Brits and their way with words!
 

The Sun in particular can always be counted on for a captivating (at least to this proud Yank) use of language including sprinklings of slang, including Cockney Rhyming Slang, which makes every article all the more interesting.  I try to make The Sun a regular stop in my meanderings  :-)

If your friends love Freedom, they will love Governor Palin.

Tell her that you have an insatiable craving for Jellied Eels from the Blackpool Pier and she'll REALLY think that you're barmy   :-)

The excitement is infectious...she has a universal appeal; at least among those who love freedom and despise Socialism.

This may well be the most exciting election of my lifetime.

 

 Governor Sarah Palin

Thank you for the update!

Too late though...the American public has seen the ugly face of the Leftist media, and that's an impression that won't likely be brushed under the rug too quickly.
