Elizabeth Berry's Blog: McCain's Selection of Palin is Lipstick on a Pig
Palin does not change one single thing of what the Republicans are offering which is four more years of George Bush. All that McCain did was to put lipstick on the Pig (the Bush Administration whose failed strategies have wrecked our nation). Nothing has changed except for an exciting and sexy dash of lipstick to freshen up their tired old face of more of the same.
The same people who do not like the Bush Administration for what it has done to this nation are not going to be fooled by the lipstick on the pig. And it they think that the American public are so stupid that they will rush over now and kiss their pig of a platform because it is wearing a fresh touch of lipstick, well I think they will be surprised. Economically, the majority of Americans are at the breaking point. Most American families literally cannot stand another four more years of the same.
That is exactly why we had so many Republicans giving testimony at our convention as to why they were crossing over. The message was the same: They simply could no longer afford to vote Republican. Palin does not change that message. She is more of the same.
Judging from McCains choice, he seems to think that our Democratic Campaign is built on the purpose of electing the first black man as President. That is not, nor has it ever been the purpose of the Barack Obama campaign.
The purpose and message of Barack Obama's campaign has always been CHANGE and it remains so--to change this country before conservatives totally destroy it with their tax breaks for the wealthy and for coporate America; to rebuild this nation by creating new jobs and restoring worldwide respect for our nation; to unite our country in a common purpose; to end our reliance on fossil fuel in the next 10 years--not to drill for more.
Palin changes nothing in terms of what the Republicans are offering. They are still offering a ticket of more of the same: more tax breaks for the weathy, more disdain for global warming, more war, more disregard for rebuilding our educational system in America, more continued privatization of our nation.
WE NEED TO REMEMBER AND NOT BE THROWN OFF OUR MESSAGE. THE REASON THE DEMOCRATS HAVE SUCH SWELLING SUPPORT IS BECAUSE OF ECONOMICS AND THE WAR IN IRAQ--Palin represent more of the same. She changes nothing.
In a way a Palin is a good thing because now we can focus on the real issues. The REAL issues for Americans do not include whether we elect the first black president of our nation or whether we elect the first woman vice president .
AMERICANS HAVE A CLEAR CHOICE: CHANGE OR MORE OF THE SAME.
Demorats offer change. Republicans offer more of the same. Palin is a red herring, lipstick on the Republican pig to distract Americans from the real issue that under the leadership of the Republicans the last 8 years, our country is falling apart.
Both Palin and McCain think that Americans are whiners. What do you think? Are you a whiner? Do you want more of the same? If you don't, then get out and register at least 5 people and tell them why they should vote a straight Democratic ticket this year.
We need to PUSH this. PUSH. PUSH. PUSH.
They started taking cheap pot shots at Sarah. We didnt start this sh*t. But we are going to finish and we are going to finish them.
Opening up your party’s site and your campaign’s site for blogs does not seem wise. I hope the GOP and the McCain campaign have not done so.
Here is a
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh_ipqk6dj4 Video from former Democrats.
Better lipstick on a pig’s lips than warts on the hog’s arse.
The democrats are known to overindulge in pork, but they probably aren’t too happy about the New York Post’s Headline, Holy Sow.
i have a funny feeling that once word gets round, this will disappear from the democrats’ website.
These clowns have been saying this for years and I suppose most believe it. This is what happens when you don't defend yourself, your enemies define you.
DNC you can put a suit and a Harvard Law degree on a Dick Head and all you have is a Dick Head.
Who is Elizabeth Berry?
My first thought hearing about this this morning was that it was petty, but after seeing the video of the New Age Man insulting a good conservative...it looks like the Church of the Perpetually Offended has hoisted itself on its own petard.
So don’t let them off the hook, let them twist in the wind.
Yep, any of you weak kneed Dem defenders want to say it wasnt about Sarah now? Or will you cower in the corner and pretend it was still an unfortunate phrase to use?
All of this is from the party that brought us:
George McGovern
Jimmy Carter
Bill Clinton
Al Gore
John (I went to Vietnam)Kerry
Harry Reid
Nancy Pelosi
Barack zerObama
If you’re a feminist in good standing and you’ve done your reading, you should know by now that Sarah Palin is more man than woman, that she gave birth to a child with Down Syndrome to curry favor with Evangelics, and, well, she can’t debate, but she sure looks darn good in a swimsuit!

Love the graphic, and your tagline! LOL.
Next week the democrats start the "Sarah Palin is a poopy-face" campaign.
this was an obvious Lipstick Smear, and must not go unblotted
