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.

Ugh...why did I think she was a babe?

[BWonka]

Because McBush couldn't take his eyes off her butt while she was showing why she is unqualified?

[Nochnoi]

Beer goggles?

[SoCalNick]

A thought:

As an former warrior for our country and one that would pick up and fight for her again in a second it has occurred to me just now. One of the most dispised act on ANY Battlefield is when you enemy is so completely without honor they will attack you from behind the cover of Women , Children or Holy Shrines knowing you have too much Honor , respect and Integrity to attack them in return.

Now in Iraq and Afghan wars low life cowards do this everyday to our Brave troops and it turns my stomach. But STILL our Men and Women hold TIGHT to our Code of Honor instilled in every Honorable Warriors Heart and Soul.

Then it HIT ME.

What is the Difference from Hiding behind Children or Women and Civilians and Hiding behind the fact that you were a POW 40+ years ago EVERY time ANYTHING is said to or about you. Even if it is to correct a false attack with the proven truth. To use POW to excuse for EVERY misspeak , mistake, gaff, problem , temper outburst or anything else is very hurtful to those with Honor and the MILLIONS of Combat Vets in this Country current and Past.


And now I hear POW is the main message for the convention.

This hurts.

[donaldw6]

McPOW comes with a ready-made excuse for any failure. Inspiring, ain't it?

[Darkdonnie]

Actually who ever becomes president has cover because of our do nothing Congress and Senate!

[Darkdonnie]

It is who he is just like O is his association with Rev. Wright, William Ayers and a speech he gave 4 years ago!

[qdog112]

Rev. Wright is a decorated veteran. What have you done for your country?

[MorningJoeMikaIsMarried]

How is he associated with Ayers please explain.

And a speech he gave four years ago, I am a little confused wasn't he right?

Wright, well you can't win them all

[SoCalNick]

Hey Dark..THAT was about the WEAKEST reply to ANY thread in the HISTORY of Blogging. You REALLY are a Rove student. a POOR Rove student but One anyway. Your post is so far from the subject and such a desperate attempt to use my post to shed a bad light on Obama some how it is the peak of true sillyness. It is funny how desperation shows itself these days.

[LeeBurl]

Yesterday's news and no one outside the wingnut echo chamber really cares. You're stuck in the mud as usual.

Why don't you tell us how McSame is different from McBush.

Oh that's right they're identical Siamese twins joined at the hip.

[DoomtoNeoCons]

And it just doesn't sink in at all does it? "It who he is- sniffle sniffle"

He's dishonoring those who also went through hell as POW's by using his experience as an excuse for all of his short comings.

Dear, you shouldn't eat fast food
Im a POW

Dear, You just ran over the neighbors cat
Im a POW

Dear, Please stop punching me in the face
Im a POW

Dear, You just began thermo-nuclear war with Russia
Im a POW

Well hey there li' buddy! Im Satan, and Im gunna throw you into a lake of FIRE for eternity! Got any last words?
Im a POW

[BlackWidowPilot]

SoCalNick,

thank you for your *honourable* service to our country. Whatever honoruable service Senator McCain performed for our country as a POW, he squandered since as an elected member of Congress, starting with Charles Keating, his love affair figurative and apparently literal with the lobbyists of K Street (Where IS Vicky these days?), his voting with almost fanatical consistency to outsource American jobs to foreign countries, and his persistent hypocrisy in asserting he is the special "friend" to America's veterans while so consistently voting against veterans' interests that he's earned a D-minus rating from said veterans' groups, including his most recent opposition to the GI Bill.

END PART I

[BlackWidowPilot]

PART II

As the proud son of a WW2 US Marine who loves our country more than mere words can express, I simply cannot tolerate nor excuse hypocrisy of the epic levels exhibited by John McCain and the GOP, from their continued insistence that they are "the party of conservative Christian family values" to their support for Cheney's PNAC war for oil and empire launched and sustained by over 900+ *documented* lies about WMDs and debunked claims of connections between Saddam Hussein and 9/11, to defective body armour, Cheney crony KBR serving rotting food and contaminated water to out troops and electrocuting a few while they've been at it with shoddy work, no-bid contracts, unarmoured Humvees, mercenaries paid for at taxpayer expense, ad infinite nauseum.

You are seeing Marie Antoinette McCain for who he truly now is, who he has become since entering politics. You are not mistaken; McCain has torn his honour asunder, and scattered it to the four winds in pursuit of his own venal ambitions.

ohh, she is not the beauty queen she once was. In fact she is a middle aged woman. In the photo, clearly she is developed huge bags under her eyes in the photo accompanying this article. Maybe Rove will suggest some bo tox rreatement so she can ,once again look like a beauty queen.

Big fish---little pone beauty queen makes me laugh.

[Darkdonnie]

It doesn't matter what she looks like we need to find out which church she's been going to for the last 20 years and make sure it's not r@cist or if she been huddled up with the like of the terrorist Ayers.

[donaldw6]

Speaking of r@cist ...

[PoliJunkie]

If she goes to an evangelical right-wing church.....I think you just answered your very own question....heh?????

[reliant1]

she's been huddled up with dominionists - whatever they are - it looked like way too much for me take in.

[StillIRise]

Apparently, YOU'VE been huddled up with some racist folks for most of the years of your own life. Maybe you need to take a look at yourself before you seek to judge others, especially others that you obviously know nothing about, except of course what Sean and Rush have told you, and what they also obviously know nothing about.

Bring popcorn, and they'll supply the nuts.

[maxdenn]

What does Palin bring to the conservative McCain ticket? More recession and job loss? Doesn't eight years of Bush prove that's weird?

[joejoe6357]

do you mean the real recession Bush inherited from Clinton?

[donaldw6]

Real Americans respect people who own up to their mistakes. Does that tell you anything about why the GOP is so unpopular now?

[mcfried]

Funny - you going to blame the deficit and Iraq clusterf@ck on C.linton too ?

[DoomtoNeoCons]

Own Your Failure, F**k Wad

[BWonka]

Ignorant to the core - poor baby -

[ContraEgoiste]

umm, the recession started 6 months into 2001. Clinton left a surplus, what happened to it??

[macbabe]

OIL!!! drill drill drill more of the same.

[joejoe6357]

she took on the big oil in her state because she agrees with you guys.

PALIN BELIEVES WHAT YOU GUYS DO

[Darkdonnie]

You are a liberal w@cko if:
You blame the oil companies for high gas prices, but believe in doing everything humanly possible to keep them from drilling for more oil.

[mabinog]

Overturning Roe v. Wade
banning contraception
teaching creationism in schools

you know theocratic policies

[scandals&skeletons]

Ya know, having Palin as the VP choice it almost seems unfair posting on huffpo threads. It's just too easy.

Thanx J. Mack

[Gollum73]

Ah, another sexist post. I love it when liberals betray their own ideals...

[ContraEgoiste]

So, when did he mentioned her gender??

Making things up much??

[ssgman]

Nice try, but after watching wingnuts scream that Obama is playing the race card it's almost too funny watching you nuts trying to play the sexist card.

[orangepetal]

We should expose it, Ferraro hung up on the Fox business guy. I think it's often difficult to see. When Obama spoke of race in his book, perhaps it is a very similar thing. Sometimes it is very obvious, other times it is very subtle yet can still be very harmful and offensive.

[DoomtoNeoCons]

Where's the sexism? Stupidity run through both genders. You are the Male example of this.

[LeeBurl]

Are you one of the kids Bush left behind?

[NewJerseyMike]

No it is not easy.

You must lead a very uninspiring life with little hope.

Sarah Palin inspires me and gives me hope -- to donate more money to Obama, because heaven forbid we get another four years of lies, corruption and dishonor. In fact, I am cutting a check right now to Obama in the amount of $50.

[Darkdonnie]

C’mon you can do better than that! your welfare check will be there soon send him a couple a hundred.

[mabinog]

Ignorance is bliss...

[BradPittsburgh]

If this hurricane had taken place last week I wonder if The One would have ordered his servants to stop the building of his temple.

[atila]

well ...don't forget that your preachers were praying to God for a biblical rain,so maybe God didn't get the memo....

[ssgman]

Oh God got the memo, and responded accordingly.

[Nochnoi]

Are you not late for your lobotomy?

[DoomtoNeoCons]

Someone built John Mc Cain a temple last week?

[BlackWidowPilot]

Funny how your vaunted GOP still loves to assert that it is "the party of conservative Christian family values:"

http://www.armchairsubversive.org

*Hypocrisy* is not a family value, and hypocrisy, thy name remains GOP. Or is that "Greedy Old Perverts" or "Gang of Pedophiles?"

And choosing Ma Barker as his running mate does not change Marie Antoinette McCaineMutiny's complete and utter lack of fitness for the office of POTUS. You can put lipstick on a hog, but it remains a hog.

You guys are the ones that prayed for rain on the DNC convention.

Link link link I do not know what this means other than a character in a 60's crime drama. But the other posters do it when the hyperbole is rampant. And they would like some proof I guess!

[dtlmetsfan]

Some republicans are still deluding themselves that this lady is ready:

http://joshxiong.com/?p=85

[Gollum73]

Because she's a woman of course. Ah, another sexist post. I love it when liberals betray their own ideals...

[DoomtoNeoCons]

She's not a Lady? Uhh... what is she then G-G-Golltard?

[NotMcCain]

Yes! They're so STUPID!

Palin is a WOMAN! Isn't that ENOUGH?

My cousin (a 52 year old man) is a father of three, member of the PTA (for 15 years!!!), and mayor of his small town for 3 terms. He's conservative, pro-gun, anti-abortion, and pro-oil companies, just like McSame!

Give him 18 months as the (weak) governor of a small (population) state where the legislture only meets 90 days a year (!) and he, too, could become President of the United States! He's fit to be Commander-in-Chief in time of war--and can deal with all the complexx problems Bush is leaving us wiwth!!!

Who. Knew?

[atila]

oh my precious!! gollum found his mantra "oh another sexist post"..."oh another sexist post!...oh another sexist post"....is that what you have?

[enlighteninglad]

Right, sexist. I guess her mother-in-law is sexist too.

When will you guys open your eyes? I mean, it must be great to think you know it all and you're far superior to "liberals" but at some point you have to let reality seep in, don't you? Maybe not. I mean George is under the delusion that he's actually been the president these last 7+ years.

[going2ireland]

Man, is that all you can say? Is that the limit of your intelligence? Sadly, I think so.

[joejoe6357]

Foreign Oil:

Was necessary because it was cheaper and Dems won't allow us to drill here
Also think long term, all resources are finite. And we will always need oil even when we have flying cars.

We wouldn't even need it if both parties weren't corrupt, cause we have technology for electric cars. The Dems are just as bad they know this and still do nothing.

[ContraEgoiste]

Drilling is a BS political ploy. They already have leases to over 250k of acres to drill on.

"all resources are finite"

really? Solar, nuclear, hydro, wind, thermal...
Oil is finite and we are getting close.

"The Dems are just as bad they know this and still do nothing"

Really? The Dems tried to pass tax breaks to companies working on this, the Repubs block it.
On the other hand Reps love the tax breaks for Oil cos.

[joejoe6357]

in economic terms resources are considered finite.

Yes the oil companies influence the Repubs.

Both parties block the electric car.

Repubs love tax breaks for ALL companies, and yes that would include Oil

[joejoe6357]

anymore issues?

[DoomtoNeoCons]

Sorry, I had to go take a dump. What are you blabbering about?

[Kynn]

Drilling every inch of the US and surrounding ocean wouldn't stop our need for imported oil.

There is simply not enough oil within US territory.

I will agree, that for most of the last 50 years, both parties have been horrible about renewable technologies.

However, most of the current bottleneck comes from the GOP, especially the Republicans in the Senate who are set on not passing anything that includes subsidies for alternative energy.

[reliant1]

true story joey:

oil from american wells/platforms - right now - is sold on the open market. to foreigners who sell it back to us.

new oil - sucked up from anwr and brand new off shore rigs will be sold on the open market.

some will be sold back to us. the rest will be sold to everyone else. all for a profit.

don't ever for one nanosecond think that oil drilled here is guaranteed to be sold to us. there are no american oil companies. none. they are all globally run.

and what they want is what they get. they are opec w/o the initials.

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

The Maverick's camp is so worried that they have recruited socks to post off topic comments.

That "baby" rumor must be huge. LOL

Best not let the NE get a hold of this stuff. Maybe it's too late. LOL

[Gollum73]

Yes, please keep spreading lies. And you say you hate Rove? You are trying to out-do him. How proud you must feel.

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

I never said I hated Rove, dummy.

[AntiTerrorDonkey]

want a tissue

heh...

[qdog112]

"And you say you hate Rove? "

I'll admit to that. What are gonna do about it? I hate Cheney and Bush too. A LOT!

[enlighteninglad]

Nobody can outdo Rove. And if you're so against spreading lies, where are you on all the lies about Obama floating around cyberspace, lies that people still believe even though they've been debunked over and over again? How proud you must feel that they've stuck even though they are as phoney as a 3 dollar bill.......and Boosh........and apparently you.

I will say that I don't think its a good idea to keep repeating that line about her Downs Syndrome child either. Its common for a Downs child to be born of a mother her age. I have a sister with Downs and my mother was just about Palin's age when she had her.

Kay Bailey Hutchison and even better choice, Olympia Snowe didn't measure up to Mc Cain's criteria?

They lacked the executive experience.

[SunshineDaydream]

i can't help but think this is a rouse. i am quite uncomfortable with the right being aware their days in washington are numbered. i find myself concerned for our country now more than ever.

[SCG2]

amazing isn't it?

[AntiTerrorDonkey]

it's not a RUSE

they really are that stupid

come

down from the acid

heh...

[RobertaInCT]

Mc-Cain will not deal with a strong intelligent woman who would be a challenge to him. He favors beauty queens and models. His first wife and his second wife were models, which explains his choice of vp..

[ebbtide]

I am willing to bet that Snowe either turned him down, or would have turned him down. She is up there in years, also. She has been a pretty good Senator from Maine all these years, but Collins is just another pfloozy for Bush.

[Kynn]

They wouldn't bow down to him.

Plus, they never competed in a beauty pageant.

[Rendon76]

She's bringing a lot of "What the hell is John McCain thinking" to the ticket.

[levibatgirl]

LOL

[orangepetal]

I think it brings tremendous clarity to what his intentions are. Go mavericks, forward.

[BWonka]

His intentions are to repeat the failures of Bush over the past eight years.

[orangepetal]

High approval ratings for his presumptive administration could be a win win for one. She obviously has a unique perception of what issues the people need her to address.

[NotMcCain]

Yes, "lack of knowledge and understanding of economic and foreign policy issues" is a very "unique perception" indeed!

She's representing the "low information voter" that McCain calls his base.

[maxdenn]

What does "conservative" mean?

[SCG2]

It's sort of a cross between a crook and a rube.

[joejoe6357]

in reguards to what

[mcfried]

A person who favors maintenance of the status quo or reversion to some earlier status; - they want us to go back to the dark ages.

[pupbayer]

It used to mean strict constructionism. Who knows what anything means anymore.

[NotMcCain]

Now it means...give tax breaks to the wealthy and decrease the quality of living for the rest of us....oppose abortion....talk about how awful homosexual marriage would be....invoke "God" every chance you get....and support anything that any Republican in power says, no matter how idiotic it is.

Oh, and run the U.S. economy into the ground.

That's about it.
