Sarah Palin's Mother-In-Law: "I'm Not Sure What She Brings To The Ticket Other Than She's A Woman And A Conservative"

NY Daily News:

WASILLA, Alaska - Sarah Palin's hometown rallied around her as mayor - now Republicans wonder if the rest of America will warm up to the surprise pick from cold country.

Though her mother-in-law has doubts.

Faye Palin admitted she enjoys hearing Barack Obama speak, and still hasn't decided which way she'll vote.

Is having a womb a qualification?

[levibatgirl]

If you hand control of it over to the govt then yes!

Dumb-Dumb woman's questionaire response:

Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?

SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance

[SCG2]

OMG.

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

I think both Sarah and Cindy push on doors that say pull.

[NatteringNabob]

This just gets better and better!

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

She is dumb. I am going to start calling her Dumb-Dumb woman.

[suzyhein]

Holy Dumba$$ Batman!

[pupbayer]

In case you didn't find my earlier message to you, here it is:

suzy, I just wanted to let you know that you asked for a comment a couple of times last night from me. I did write them but they never showed up. Funny...anything I write that could be considered pro-Palin/McCain shows up but anything I write that is anti-Palin or McCain, never shows up. Weird, uh? I've been playing with it today and, sure enough...

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

She is a super, double genius deluxe.

[pupbayer]

I answered your question about her stands below. We'll see if they ever show up.

[exPatPatti]

Aw helltothenaw. She really said that? This just gets better and better. But since none of this is being reported by the MSM it may not have an effect.

[azakayaks]

TiffanyH:

That repsonse was made to a 2006 Gubernatorial candidate questionare from eagleforumalaska, a seriously conservative site. For more giggles read the whole thing...I can't post that source address due to the rules but you can google "eagleforumalaska" and add "/2006/07/­2006-guber­natorial-c­andidate.h­tml" to the address
Since the "pledge" wasn't written 'til 1892, by Francis Bellamy, and the words, "under g*d" added in 1954, I wonder what she thinks the founding fathers had to do with it.

Personally I think JMcC intended to choose Michael Palin of Monty Python's Flying Circus, but couldn't remember which was which.
Michael would've been a better choice.

[NatteringNabob]

LOL!

I just got a robo-call from John McCain telling me he is going to send me an absentee ballot.

More bad judgment on his part!

[mcfried]

Seriously - priceless !

[reliant1]

Early conservative complaints:

"National Review site The Corner - The choice says a lot about McCain, that he is a bit desperate and that he is one arrogant SOB. McCain is essentially telling the world that he doesn't really need a Vice President.... Rather, the Office would seem poised to return to the 'proverbial warm bucket of p***' category."

Goldberg - "It all comes down to whether Palin holds up under intense scrutiny. If it looks like this was purely a stunt, then McCain's critics will be right that his "country first" mantra rings a bit hollow. All I can say is I hope McCain's vetters did their job."

Ponnuru has a list:

"Inexperience. Thanks to McCain's decision, Palin could be commander-in-chief next year. That may strike people as reckless. To the extent the experience, qualifications, and national-security arguments are taken off the table and Obama wins.

It's not just foreign policy. Palin has no experience dealing with national domestic issues. Can anyone say with a straight face that Palin would have gotten picked if she were a man?"
end quote

and so it begins...let's enjoy every second of it ;)

[mcfried]

I wish they would stop making this so easy. How dumb are the target audience ? The woman has no position on record regarding any major domestic or foreign policy issue. McCain when asked her position on Iraq said "it's the same as mine" Really John I'm guessing she agrees with you on all the other major issues as well. Oh except global warming apparently Sarah didn't get the memo and still doesn't believe it's man made. ROFLMAO

[Oilygarch]

Well, she did once wear a crown. The crown of a beauty queen.

[reliant1]

Early conservative complaints:

"The choice also says a lot about McCain. First, that he is a bit desperate," Coffin writes on the National Review site The Corner. "Second, that he is one arrogant SOB. McCain is essentially telling the world that he doesn't really need a Vice President.... Rather, the Office would seem poised to return to the 'proverbial warm bucket of p***' category."

Goldberg is less critical than openly worried: "It all comes down to whether Palin holds up under intense scrutiny. If it looks like this was purely a stunt, then McCain's critics will be right that his "country first" mantra rings a bit hollow. If, on the other hand, she proves to be as impressive as she seems, no one will care about how small Wasilla is.

All I can say is I hope McCain's vetters did their job."

Ponnuru raised a laundry list:

"Inexperience. Palin has been governor for about two minutes. Thanks to McCain's decision, Palin could be commander-in-chief next year. That may strike people as reckless. To the extent the experience, qualifications, and national-security arguments are taken off the table,

Obama wins.

And it's not just foreign policy. Palin has no experience dealing with national domestic issues, either. Can anyone say with a straight face that Palin would have gotten picked if she were a man?"
end quote

and so it begins...let's enjoy every second of it ;)

[suzyhein]

now that that's cleared up, Pupbayer, speak to her politics:

Prolife Extremist
Progun
Antigay
Creationist Religiousnut
Global Warming Denier
Against Equal Pay

[SCG2]

Yup Yup.

[pupbayer]

She and I agree on nothing I've found yet except we both love Alaska. The anti-gay thing is not really fair to criticize her on because McCain and Obama are anti-gay marriage to so that's a wash. She also supports the DC handgun ban.

I'm enjoying the stir she has caused. She's obviously a strong woman and I like that about her. I like her toughness on corruption especially of Republicans.

So far, that's it. I'm reading and waiting to see what else comes up.

[suzyhein]

fair enough. let's keep it real.

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

Why didn't McCain send Sarah along with Sen. Lohan and Sen. Liebermann to Georgia after the Russian invasion?

Cindy says Sarah has foreign policy experience because Alaska is near Russia, so why wasn't she asked to go over to Georgia to meet with the Saakashvili?

[suzyhein]

Pupbayer, if this goes through, your theory isshot.

Palin and McCain will make a great team and are both smart and well-qualified to be the leaders of the free world.

[Revanchist]

With Cindy's help they could run the concession stand.

[BIG JOHN]

OR BECOME AVON REPS.

[Oilygarch]

What world is that? ;-)

[SCG2]

the 4th dimension.

[suzyhein]

just proving they are letting positive mccain/palin posts through. ;)

[pupbayer]

I said they were letting my positive posts through. It was the negative ones they weren't posting.

[levibatgirl]

Smart?

Mcbush graduated from Annapolis at the very bottom of his class.

[NatteringNabob]

Only after being admitted on the "I'm the son of an admiral" affirmative action plan.

[suzyhein]

just a little test to prove a naysayer wrong:)

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

Has Gov. Palin ever met with Putin? Has she ever been to Russia?

If no, what the hell has she been doing for the past 20 months? Cindy says Alaska is near Russia, so that gives Sarah foreign policy experience.

If Sarah hasn't taken advantage of the close proximity she has with Russia, how can we be certain that she knows how to deal with Russia?

[SCG2]

She's had a passport for less than 18 months.

[Oilygarch]

You'd be pretty surprised who Putin has met with. They don't call him Putin for nothing!

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

I don't know what you are talking about.

[HazelPethigFan]

Her foreign policy experience is that she once wished for "World Peace" in a beauty pagent.

[suzyhein]

Pupbayer, if this goes through, your theory is shot.

Palin and McCain will make a great team and are both smart and well-qualified to be the leaders of the free world.

____O ____
For President

Have you all seen this website I love the O for President decals, hats and T-shirts but does anyone now if this site really supports the O camp (does all or a portion of dollars go to the O campaign)?

http://www.cafepress.com/obama_shop

[macbabe]

don't think so... check out http://barackthevote.com/
they are at least working to get new registered voters!!

[Dreamers101]

That's a great link to but sad that cafepress maybe not for BO but just some company trying to capitalize on his popularity because I love the O for President stuff.

Mc Cain: She runs the largest state Alaska.

in size. LOL

[macbabe]

it's BEAUTIFUL... it has "little villiages" all over the place...
no BIG Government issues though, except for the Alaska pipe line. OIL!

[NatteringNabob]

That. plus it reportedly has a large concentration of Sasquatch.

[Oilygarch]

Ask the Inuit what they feel about Alaskan drilling and whaling rights?

[reliant1]

CHECK THIS OUT - IT'S GONNA GET GOOD NOW!!

"On Saturday, a Democrat tasked with opposition research contacted the Huffington Post with this piece of information: as of this weekend, the McCain campaign had not gone through old newspaper articles from the Valley Frontiersman, Palin's hometown newspaper.

How does he know? The paper's (massive) archives are not online. And when he went to research past content, he was told he was the first to inquire.

"No one else had requested access before," said the source. "It's unbelievable. We were the only people to do that, which means the McCain camp didn't."

we're not talking minimal vetting - we're talking no vetting. none.

[Dreamers101]

Great maybe they will find the straw that brakes the camels back. LOL

[qdog112]

That's precisely why I think the Reugs have quick kicked and basically thrown the towel in. (to mix metaphors)

They can't possibly think this is a winning ticket. Is the Republican Brand Dead?

[CaseyBabes]

Typical effete dem's comment based upon fear of strong women.

[MorningJoeMikaIsMarried]

HA! Are you kidding me strong how because she wanted to do sporting casting but instead did PTA.?

[Dreamers101]

She looks pretty strong with the gu n and all

http://thebruceblog.wordpress.com/2008/08/31/sarah-palin-do-you-like-my-flag-bikini-the-perfect-huntin-attire/

[StillIRise]

Typical truth is more like it. Palin has not been vetted, neither by the McCain campaign nor by the MSM. But unlike the usual vetting process, she will be vetted publicly, and I think McCain will regret that he only met her once and his next conversation with her, five months later, was to invite her to share his ticket for the vice-presidency.

Once the vetting begins, this strong woman will experience fear BIG TIME! Yet, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with her being a woman and EVERYTHING to do with John McCain's abrogation of his responsibility as a presidential nominee to Governor Palin, to his party and to the country.

[levibatgirl]

And your party is so chock full of 'strong women'.

LMAO!

[reliant1]

Why is the more and more obvious lack of vetting an effete comment?

I'm a strong woman, my weapons cache is alot bigger than most and I am about to step out back and behead something for dinner.

The lack of vetting is a window into the depth of fear and desperation mcdoodly is feeling.

It has nothing to do with queensarah.

It has everything to do with him - a traitor who should have died before giving up his nations information to our enemies. His weakness is despicable. His lying is intolerable. His existence is a blot on the Navy and why his own father never forgave him for coming home alive.

He is rank with cowardice. It oozes out of every pore. It drives him.

He is no man. Just an empty skin.

Cindy McCain: Palin Has National Security Experience Because Alaska Is Close To Russia

I guess it's safe to say Cindy doesn't handle the beer distribution business personally?
