“Rove, the magnificent bastard”

Rove just drives libs up the wall.

If when Obamachev calls Sarah a pig and McCain slams him back, that’s Rovian politics, I say Rove on.

Ferraro wasn't like Palin. Imagine if Ford had named Reagan as his VP instead of Dole. He would have caused the same groundswell for Ford, and Carter would have had to do the same thing that Obama is doing now.

Obama should spend most of his time on McCain, but I think he has more credibility with his side, and so when he goes after Palin, it is more effective than when Biden does. Biden just comes off sounding like an idiot, a chauvinist, old white guy. Now, if Obama had picked Hillary, he could use her for the attacks on Palin. But, to our everlasting amusement, he didn't.

Maybe history will repeat itself and Bill KKKlinton will say that republicans are only defending Palin because she is being attacked by a black guy.

Biden will soon drop out for one reason or another...to be replaced by Hillary! Otherwise, BO will lose in a landslide.

Why would Hillary want to risk going down in defeat being VP to Obama?

Hillary has as much baggage as Obama.

Obama’s ‘uniting’ talk is empty rhetoric. He can’t even unite his own party.

The problem for Obama is that he hasn't started running against John McCain.

He's spent 19 months running against George W. Bush and one week running against Sarah Palin.

YEAH. I’ve know that since she was anounced as McCAIN’s VP pick. Without the media and dirty tricks ridding yourself of Pesky competition he can’ hack it.

I don’t think he’s the type of person who has DEMONSTRATED any redeaming or Wothwile attribute that allow’s him to seek office.

Without the Myth,Hype, and constant Barrage of media “I love OBAMA” stories.

Also white guilty liberals who feel guilty for something they nor their fathers or gradfather’s did”.

If they read the Bible the should know no man should have to suffer the sins of the Father”. Or great great ancestor as the case may be.

Obama would at least make me think he’s a man if he would stop Whining. Take responsibility for BAD choices and DECISIONS and either fix them or live with it.

Seems to me; without his Liberal friends to write Intelligent, things for him and show him off like some star perfectly Manicured/CLothed/MAKE-UP and multiple takes he can’t hack it.

His a blank canvas to put their LIBERAL ideals on. He can’t speak clearly and has no experience. So he has no Character or Abilities and a thin resume.

If I was a resource officer I would say NO thanks come back when you have a few years of REAL experience under your belt.

Mabey he thinks that People OWE him this OFFICE. Due to a rough Child-hood, being an African American, or just because you went to HARVARD.

No one OWES you anything barry.

This country gave you boundless opportunities and Freedoms. Things people just a in slave day would say was ABSOLUTE INSANITY to think a Black Man could run for office say he even wanted to RUN for The Presidency of the USA. But do you praise America?

For it’s great Progress ability to change, improve one’s station in life, and earn as much money as you have Inguenity and Determination.

The only limits place on African American’s in this country are those they put themselves.

I DONT wan’t someone who doesn’t make excuese for their failures.

It happened now DEAL with the problem! You are wasting time whinning about your problems and Assigning Blame usually the USA.

Mabey if you just tried to talk to the people in “Fly Over” country you might understand the LOVE of this Country.

This is a wonderfull, unique, awesome country it hasn’t had the easiest roads it has face Impossible Odds.

So barry how are you going to handle a “little” adversity? Play the Victim card..or whine about others being unfair and attacking you with lies.

I Don’t want a Presidential Contender to do these things. I want to see someone who had bad odds and were down/poor and instead of doing the easy thing and getting A Government check he helps himself. He through sheer will,determination, and refusal to quit somehow always manages to get the JOB done.

Like many Hard-Working people who don’t have an College degree but don’t say this is why I can’t be successfull.

Many Americans work two jobs and raise their children at the same time. Don’t complain are thankfull for a Good job and wanting the Government to saty out of his way and hands out of his pockets!

So your liberal credentials don’t impress me at all. Your Community Organization that you say was good experience.

Explain what this JOB did to prepar you for the one of the toughest jobs in the world?

Your other jobs State Senate and Being a US Senater running for office for the last 2 years?

Get off your duff do something with your Harvard degree. Instead of trying to get a “Free Pass” from everyone.

Take your licks like a MAN don’t complain and show how truely important this JOB is to you. Your plans to do things. Not platitudes like stop Reapublicans and 4 more years of Bush.

Tell me what this country means to you and how you would serve it better than John McCain. Mabey say you PROUD of our wonderful country and Freedoms/Opportunites.

Basicly the old interview question. Tell me why I should hire you?

John McCain I believe could speak quite a lot about his

LOVE for this Country so GREAT he risked his LIFE for it.

He sacrificed several years in a hell whole and was torture but never relented or would do anything to Dishonor or Beray his country.

This is the Inspiring story of John McCain. He has show great determination and perserverence to get where he is at.

And I haven’t one comment from HIM about how it’s unfair he cannot do things a young fit Obama could do. But I wouldn’t trade all the Harvard Degrees for the LESSONS John McCain has learned from his life and service/sacrifices for this country.

I don’t want to hear how horrible my Country is and degrading troops.

In a REAL crises OBAMA would do what Compalin? Blame America?

Expect a pass from the people for his failures because he went to Harvard. You take command! Right or wrong you make the tough decision. The men/women you want to be commander and chief of deserve better and so does our country.

McCain could handle a crisis and difficult situations.

So really as a LEADER betwween OBAMA and McCAIN would you want leading you? John McCain because he has served this country well and shown his credentials..broken bones and scars. Or Obama a second guessing newbie who will get flurstered at the first sign of adversity.

Obama may be a good man and worked hard to go through school. But ABSOLUTELY not ready to lead our great country.

You are NOT GIVEN.. an honor like the Office of the President of the USA. It’s a tough job for a tough man and one who want the position not for its POWER,PERKS, and PRIVLAGES. It’s a trust with the American people to be the leader of the FREE world. Any a SACRED trust to the young privates, Marines, Navy, and Airforce. Who swear an oath that you are THEIR commander in CHIEF and will protect and serve you. These young people would and could die under your orders so AT the very LEAST give them some RESPECT!

So NO people will not GIVE/HAND you the OFFICE because your a placehoulder. An empty suits accomplishments nil and no Character. You EARN THE RIGHT TO SERVE THE PEOPLE AND MILITARY!! You and liberal creatins like William Ayers don’t deserve to shine their boots. Your Harvard diploma might hut the boots...LOL

Sarah Palin is quite amazing also. A working MOM who managed a home, was a Mayor, and Gov.

These tasks given to a quitter would be called imposible but are just what Sarah Palin has to do.

She has made some tough decisions in her duties in Elected office. She has show willingness to workhard no matter how impossible the odds or people calling you names. But when your family needed you and you could have pawned it off an a crony. You told the people of your daughters pregnency underage and unmarried. The media smears your Parenting but, you obviously taught your children well and Led By example.

The Democrats are running scared because they can’t understand her. Sarah Palin’s daughter is keeping the baby and according to some should just get it FIXED an abortion. But made a tough decision to have the CHILD. Her MOM could have put her Career first disowning her daughter and critisising her. Displaying grit and toughness in the face of a challenge not a BURDEN! According to them the daughter should have killed the child so she could live her life. But the daughter I hope knows what a blessing children are and life is precious. No matter if the child does have a handi-cap Sarah Palin had the child and raises it with extra love. Love she shows her daughter accepting she made a mistake and helping and supporting her. No wonder the liberals are SCARED. They have no women to compare to Sarah Palin. The Femanists example is to not let hold anyone or thing hold you back. These Femanists have no way to attack her. She is the shining “Super” woman the Femanists have been waiting for. Someone who can do it all and not whine expeect a handout or cry. Sarah Palin puts the Femanists to shame as they KNOW in their hear of hearts show is the REAL feminists. No one defined her or told her how she has to act or believe. Sarah is her own woman she wanted her family and career and worked hard for it. Looked at kids with love no matter a disablity. Obstacles make you stronger, Sarah has jumped the Hurdles and Road blocks with sheer DETERMINATION! She make it she didn’t take the easy way out delt with the situation as it was not crying or wishing it was different. She can do these things with Grace, Dignity, and Determination.

No hillary cry about how hard it is for a woman to campaign. But look at the situation and get thru it no matter what.

She is Amazing to me. I wish more young women would look up to Sarah Palin as a role model than Briteny Spears or Hanah Montana.

You can be attractive, smart, and a tough woman. You don’t have to prove how independent you are as a female grabbing the first Birth COntrol pills or contraceptive and like a teen with a fresh drivers license..Tend not to be very Cautious.

But no worries you don’t have to worry about that their is a DR who can fix that for you. Abortions aren’t cool nor are the number of sexual partners you have had. I’m not impressed give me a Smart Woman in the mold of MRS. PALIN anyday.

A girl who konws what she likes, will speak up for herself, enjoy some sports, and feel comfortable going Camping in the Woods without being defenseless.

Looking for the clean toilets, starbucks and a WIFI connection. Just like the types of women I find attractive as a PERSON not a BODY. Someone who is comfortable in a dress or bluejeans and t-shirt hanging out. Basicly, just what I call a Cool Girl.

Looks fade at the end of the day. I wan’t a Woman who can intelligently discuss issues and have an opinion she has formed herself.

Reasons I like McCain and Palin.

Good point. It seems like “She Who Should Not Be Named” is resigned to trying again in 4 years. Helping BO in any way would be counterproductive to that end. The Rats will go down big time with BO, and “She Who Should Not Be Named” will be celebrating.

Wow! You certainly let us know how you feel. Funny thing is that I basically feel the same way you do. I also think that as more moral women elevate to higher places in society they will become great role models and younger women will take note. Especially as the women get more control over important matters such as State Dept., National Security Advisor and VP. What have the Dems given us? Jocelyn Elders? Albright?

The next 50 days will be painful. The dems cannot win on issues, so they will try to win on character assassination. The Bible is a great place to go to get comfort. Prayer is too.

Take care!

Yes, this scares me to death the horrible judgement these people whould show. Not only his policies but the AWFUL nutcase judges they would approve with blinding speed. GOD forbid a SUPREME COURT nomination falls to OBAMA. He has shown who he pics for his right hand man BIDEN.

I like to see a woman who knows who she is, and what she want’s without the Indoctrination of Liberalism/Femanists to tell her what her view are “suppossed” to be.

Love to hear some one speak passionatly on subject and eloquently like she does off the cuff. Just get the feeling she is geniune no stage-craft or fake Halo’s.

Put her on stage and let her speak about issues she is Passionate about. She will glow the natural glow of a someone speaking about their core belife’s and passions.

Some people just have REAL charisma a star quality. I’d bet she lights up a room with excitment just walking in.

No need for the Teleprompter like Obama to tell him what he believes.
