Palin Goes After Obama

New York Times:

After days of mounting questions about her qualifications, Gov. Sarah Palin rallied the Republican National Convention tonight by touting her small-town government experience and ridiculing concerns about whether she is up to the job of vice president.

"Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown," Ms. Palin said. "And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a community organizer, except that you have actual responsibilities."

Thank you for that!!! K.Oberman was the only commentator who had the guts to say that last evening!!

Enough of these people ... they are absolutely UNAmerican!!!

[wedapeepo]

yes please!

[Kalima]

You too? Me 2 days and so much to say too.

[B-FREE]

I'm going to try to post my comment one more time , Huffpo !

Bravo , Sarah!

You've done something I thought was almost impossible : unite die-hard Hillary supporters behind

Obama !

I am a woman too and sorry, honey, but nothing about you is feminist ; and everything about you

says -another 4 years of the same predatory neocon agenda !

Pit Bull hah ?! It's on , sister !

"Because of Hillary Clinton's historic run for the Presidency and the treatment she received, American women are more highly tuned than ever to recognize and decry sexism in all its forms. They will not tolerate sexist treatment of Governor Palin."
(Carly Fiorina)

Yes, Carly, and one form of sexism is using women to do demeaning jobs. For example, getting a woman to trash an opponent of yours in public and in such a way that she demeans herself.

[ScandalousCandice]

I want to know who specifically asked or said she can't be VP because she has 5 k i d s? Because I would like to retire it from the media talking points and the republican talking points. I don't know of one person who actually said that?

What should be talk about is how she and her values have failed her family. That's relevant.

[PAposter]

I agree. As far as I'm concerned she answered my question about who would take care of the children, apparently no one.

[treklady]

It's just another republican lie, that's all they have now are lies to spin and spin again, you know how they operate.

[gladys46]

They made it up ... as they make up all ghosts!!! For all the well thought out reasons of my bestest posters here .... I too continue to say that McCain is unacceptable ... now with proof positive evidence he & his VP pic are totally unacceptable!!!

Sarah & Mc have specific personal/physical problems to tend to ... it's not America first in their otherwise troubled lives!!! I wish them well and any "Christian God" of their choice be with them!!!

[abby4ever]

I heard on Larry King Live that Dr. Laura Something-or-other is the one that said it.

[CocteausTwin]

And how she has abused or neglected her authority.

[gladys46]

Mc is such the warmongering know-how ... why was Sarah not advised that you do not give the time & date of military deployment!! K.Oberman, as he usually does informed America that Sarah broke the law when she revealed her own son's military orders!!!

Too busy teaching her how to be a little snapper!!

[B-FREE]

OK there are many good women here. I have heard Mika all morning say that Palin speaks to the American woman, can you ladies tell me if she "speaks" to you or for your ideals?

[Kalima]

Not American, but h-e-l-l NO!

[gladys46]

Hell no!!! Same plumbing ... her's is dysfunctional!!!

[PAposter]

No f*cking way.

[treklady]

Why do my posts go to pending h-e-l-l,

NO way she is only appealing to rightwing evangelicals who obey their husbands, just like herself.

[peacekitten]

welcome to the hp jungle.

[PAposter]

Exactly. Check this out.

[peacekitten]

um, that would be a "no." i only know a couple of ancient languages, but sanskrit isn't one of them. she would be very up to date for, say, the B.C.E. years.

[abby4ever]

I like that!

[Kalima]

Have fun, GN.

[CocteausTwin]

Good night Kalima, enjoy the warm bed.

[Kalima]

I don't tell lies, CT.

[PAposter]

Check this out, I read it earlier this week. Seems she always gets a little help from
the good ol' boys, or at least one.

[gladys46]

Nepotism at it's worst!! Exactly what was her husband elected to do!!?? That would have been America's problem ... what the hell to do with Bill!!

[PAposter]

It's very troubling, in my opinion. She's not her own woman, no matter how many times the surrogates say it.

All the republican surrogates are saying women will identify with her, because she's a working mom and she gets it. Really? Guess what, women get that she will not bring our troops home, she will disallow the termination of a pregnancy, even if it is as a result of incest of rape. They get that she believes that women are undereducated, and this is why do not earn the same as men, really? They get that she will not give tax breaks to the middle and lower class, or raise the minimum wage. They get that the drilling for more oil is not and energy solution. Women know that neither of the republican candidates are who we want negotiating with World Leaders, or making Foreign Policy decisions. Most of us not only do not identify with her, many of us disagree with her on what really counts, effective policies.

[PAposter]

Oh yeah, and let's not forget that they do not offer universal health care, which is poorly needed. And McCain wants to do away with Social Security.

Whoever moderates the debates, better address every demographic out there. Military families, unemployed, elderly, women, seniors. And get them to talk about the issues we all face.

I'm sick of these weak @ss debates too.

[gladys46]

Exactly ... to the letter!! We may have the same plumbing but, her's needs a plumber!!

[ScandalousCandice]

She also revealed troop deployment. Isn't that against OPSEC? Illegal even?

[PAposter]

Yeah, and Keith O said there were a some veterans who were very upset by this. That it should never happen. So, tell me again about her experience.

[treklady]

It looks like Senator McCain will hide behind SP's skirts, the republicans call this leadership. If women think this is equal status with men they are wrong, men using a women for political gain is exactly what the republicans are doing, nothing more or less. SP is a women who follows orders she doesn't have an original thought in her head. I read that her speech was written by a former speechwriter for Booosh. Maverick my a-s-s.

[BabsfromKansas]

I think he wants to hide under them - wink wink , nudge nudge

[gladys46]

Shame on Sarah for accepting reThugs exploitation of her & her troubled family!! I find no positive motivation using Sarah's example for my daughter ... none!!!

[ScandalousCandice]

She did. Putting the Baby-daddy on the stage for the world to see that she means what she says on her stance with pro life. And Trig being paraded around too.

It's vile.

[PAposter]

I agree.

[Kalima]

I love your name. A group of us are trekking the Himalayan mountain range right
now, looking for an alternatives for sarah. As I said below, we think we have spotted
a yeti, far more experience in the wild. Yup, yup!

[treklady]

Thanks, oh please send the yeti, it will only be an improvement, and you have to make sure it a female yeti, nothing else will do.

[motherfather]

Looove it. YUP. YUP. tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

[ScandalousCandice]

This country is in serious trouble to think shameless pandering and a pack full of lies makes a great speech.

[BabsfromKansas]

it wasn't a great speech - it was rude, sarcastic, arrogant and totally lacking in substance.

[PAposter]

The only thing I learned from that speech, is that hockey moms wear lipstick.

[abby4ever]

plus snippy, snotty, snide and surly.

[wedapeepo]

cocky, crass, condescending, curly, larry and moe

[lornejl]

Why didn't the radical anti-choice lady mention abortion during her speech ? ALL repubs are cowards.

[ScandalousCandice]

She used Trig to answer that. The parading him around answers that.

Isn't she gross.

[BabsfromKansas]

I think it is reprehensible that she is politicizing her children and exposing that baby to health risks with the travel, crowd, noise etc - Down's babies have very fragile immune systems

[gladys46]

GW calls all but 27-28% of Americans "the angry left" .... well, George now that you have accomplished your criminal missions ... I think, I've got every right to be damn angry!! What the hell have you and your cohorts done with my hard-earned tax dollars??? You're damn right I'm angry!! To the point that I would have your disgraceful behind impeached NOW!!!
