Republican Convention: Sarah Palin makes speech of a lifetime
Daily Telegraph (London) ^ | Sep 03, 2008 | Julian Kossoff

Posted on 09/03/2008 10:26:58 PM PDT by Labour-Watch

Governor Sarah Palin has launched a slashing counterattack on her critics, telling the Republican convention that she had accepted an invitation to be Senator John McCain's running mate to serve the American people, not to win "the good opinion" of her detractors.

I was hoping when McCain walked on the stage he would have said; Hey Obama, you might want to put some ice on that.

Hear the lamentations of their metrosexuals.
***YOMANK. (Look it up in the new lexicon if you need to)

Here’s how I’ve been bumping Palin/Obama threads today.

Sung to the tune of “Oh! Susanna, don’t you cry for me.”

“Oh, no Bama, please don’t lie to me... for I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.”

I come from Minnesota with my laptop on my knee;
I’m goin’ to Free Republic my true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left,
the weather it was dry;
The sun so hot I froze to death,
Obama don’t you lie.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I come from Minnesota,
with my laptop on my knee.

I had a dream the other night,
When everything was still;
I thought I saw Obama dear,
A-coming down the hill.
The smearing lie was in Duluth,
The tear was in his eye,
Said I, I’m coming for the truth
Obama don’t you lie.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.

I fight in my pajamas,
It’s plain for all to see.
I aim to be the next Buckhead;
The media all hate me.
I fell in love with Sarah
When my sister bit a moose.
The Guvnor’s family ate it up
And then they set it loose.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.

She loves her sons, she likes her guns,
and Trigonometry.
The media will jump the shark
When Juan makes history.
Well, JimRob knows she’ll pave the trolls
So controversially,
And Berg will knock Obama down
With friends of Hillary.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.

I soon will be in Hawaii,
And then I’ll look all ‘round,
And when I find his birth record,
I’ll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find it,
This Freeper’ll surely die,
And when I’m dead and buried,
Obama don’t you lie.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you cry for me;
I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee

from another thread - this comment by Sourcery...

Sarah’s “star power” may soon exceed Obama’s. She is Margaret Thatcher, Sarah Connor and Princess Diana, all in one package.

...led to this reply - folks, we have a winner!

===========================

Great observation - Great T-shirt idea!

This list on the front...

Margaret Thatcher +
Sarah Connor +
Princess Diana...

and on the back of the tee-shirt

= SARAH PALIN

These are Hillary supporters? Will the wonders never cease in this election? This is awesome.

Yep! They share our utter disdain for O'Hussein! :)

she ain’t the one with the self designed Presidential Seal.

I missed it, the first time that she mentioned that!

A speech to remember, for sure.

Time for bed. I can't wait for Bennett, Ingraham, Rush, Hannity, Hewitt/Elder, and the rest in the morning!

The foreign policy part of her speech was rock solid. Talking about Russia using energy as a weapon and crunching up her nose, pretty impressive for a rook.

Nope. I’ve been saying this since Friday—she’s Maggie Thatcher with great legs.

Yes they do. I think they’ve got it in for Obama more than we do. Wow, that’s saying something.

re: Tennessee and other “swing” states..... just posted this on another thread but it’s highly relevant here: I think that she could make the McCain/Palin ticket really have “coattails” for bringing more Rs into Congress. Just imagine how many congressional districts she will speak in during the next two months, mainly “swing” districts I expect, and she will simply crush the district’s Demagogue candidate. I don’t want to get too carried away, but I can imagine she could make a difference of a few points at least, especially districts with the more corrupt and/or entrenched and complacent Demagogues. If she could take out the dominant and well-entrenched Murkowski machine in Alaska by 30+ points as a virtual unknown, imagine what she could do while campaigning even briefly in a lot of “swing” congressional districts.

The movie line is actually a quote attributed, historically, to Chingghis Quan. John Milius [the director] seems to be a big Mongol fan. He used a history lesson about the great hunt for the opening of “Red Dawn”.

The script writer for “Conan the Barbarian” was, believe it or not, Oliver Stone.
