The Palin And McCain Administration: Sarah Flips The Ticket During A Rally (VIDEO)

This video from a Palin event today catches the vice presidential nominee putting herself before John McCain on the ticket. Check out the video and read more here from ABC News.

Politico's Jonathan Martin had this related report:

At a rally outside Youngstown, Ohio, Tuesday night, dozens of attendees left while McCain was still speaking.

I caught up with a few of them. Some explained that the airplane hangar where the rally was being held had grown crammed and uncomfortable. Others said they had other events or commitments to get to.

Notably, though, the exodous had only begun after Palin spoke.

Now, the same thing has happened again.

"I look up, about five minutes into McCain's address and see a steady stream of people walking out of the rally," writes Radio Iowa's Kay Henderson from a McCain-Palin event in Cedar Rapids.

People should stop picking on vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin because she hired a high school classmate to oversee the state agriculture division, a woman who said she was qualified for the job because she liked cows when she was a kid. And they should lay off the governor for choosing another childhood friend to oversee a failing state-run dairy, allowing the Soviet-style business to ding taxpayers for $800,000 in additional losses.
What these critics don"t understand is that crony capitalism is how things are done in Alaska. They reward failure in the Last Frontier state. In that sense, it"s not unlike like Wall Street"s treatment of C.E.O."s who run companies into the ground.
Look at Carly Fiorina, John McCain"s top economic surrogate " if you can find her this week, after the news and her narrative fused in a negative way. Dismissed as head of Hewlett-Packard after the company"s stock plunged and nearly 20,000 workers were let go, she was rewarded with $44 million in compensation. Sweet!
Thank God McCain wants to appoint a commission to study the practice that enriched his chief economic adviser. On the campaign trail this week, McCain and Palin pledged to "stop multimillion dollar payouts to C.E.O."s" of failed companies. Good. Go talk to Fiorina at your next strategy session.

Please note, crony capitalism reached its peck with Roanld Reagan trickle down. He was helped by John McCain and the new bailouts programs by the republicans began. Yes, the Clintons had their fair share with the republican congress pushing him to sign off. Bailouts of the Russian,Japan and a few more. bailouts. We have Bush Sr cronies and his outstanding son doing a 1000% better than DAD.

Read "Bad Money" by Kevin Phillips. If you are ready for the documented facts.

Although the video is almost self-parody ... here's a funny take on it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyMqGPochWA

[boing007]

The road to the Bridge to Nowhere:

That's because the $26-million road was designed to connect to the $398-million Gravina Island Bridge, more infamously known as the "bridge to nowhere." Alaskan officials thought federal money would pay for the bridge, but Gov. Sarah Palin killed the project after it was ridiculed and Congress rescinded the money. Plans for the road moved forward anyway.

Some residents of Ketchikan -- a city of 8,000 on a neighboring island where the bridge was to end -- see the road as a symbol of wasteful spending that Palin could have curtailed. Some of them even accuse her of deception.

"Surely we won't have to commute on the highway if there won't be a bridge," said Jill Jacob, who has been writing and calling the governor's office for the last two years to protest the road. "It's a dead-end highway, a dead-end road."

[huffposeur]

how come no one's reporting that sarah palin referred to the democratic nominee as:

“Barackal Bama” and

“Barack Obaman,”

as well as — perhaps most bizarre — “Barack America.” ???????

WHY ISN'T THIS BEING REPORTED?

Oh, I know. it's because on the day the junior senator from illinois announced his running mate, this is what the informed, erudite been-in-th­e-senate-s­ince-you-w­ere-wearin­g-short-pa­nts-at-tha­t-school-i­n-indonesi­a - joe biden said about the democratic nominee.

never mind.

[ContraEgoiste]

LOL Is that all you got?? tongue slips of a month ago?? How pathetic.

ummm, have you heard what's happenning with the economy??

[huffposeur]

i have. i heard that people in all 57 states are feeling the brunt of jim johnson's recklessness

[LAThinker]

Never mind

[mrsmdressup]

She referred to him as "Sambo"....says a lot about her lack of character.

[Whinger]

Popeye The Sailor and Olive Oil his ambitious cheerleader!

Now we know who will wear the pants if they ever occupy the White House!

America needs a two-sate solution. Idiots and religious fundamentalists can have McCain/Palin as their president, the rest of America can break free and have a sane government led by Obama-Biden. Problem solved. Looking at how well McCain is faring despite everything that has come to light, I seriously think 50% of the country is too self-destructive and illogical to be associated with the other 50% who actually want the US to make progress after 8 years of Bush.

[LemonMeringue]

I wish the Rapture were really in the Bible, and not invented by a mistranslation of the word "meet".

Because Earth would be lovely if all the evangelicals were gone.

[delbard]

In the 2 state solution, where would be the dividing line?.
Pt two to Lemon Merngue> I would favor the rapture and strat the Xtian thing all over the Jesus Christ had in mind. Over 100 years age, Mark Twain wrote; "If Jesus Christ were alive today, there is one thing he wouldn't be - A Christian".

[huffposeur]

and if john kennedy were alive today there's one thing he wouldnt be: a democrat. there's no way the likes of his brother and biden and pelosi would all his likes in the part of donkeys.

[huffposeur]

you may be right. barack obama could be the final president of these united states. a civil war seems more nd more inevitable. and no, kids, i don't mean a race war.

[ContraEgoiste]

Someone is paranoid and scared of a black man.

[MadeinAmericaProud]

True fact, the civil war never ended. The south still reenact the war and that era in Virginia all the time.

If they were educated people, they would understand it is not always the message to be cautious of, it is the messenger. It is their hidden agenda to tell you the information in the first place.

McNoBrain and Pile-on 2008.

god save us.

[Lois37]

Hey Imright606, how much do you make a year? Is it under 250,000? if so, then why would you NOT vote for Obama? Are you a woman? Do you think OTHER women should have the right to choose even if YOU are pro-life?

[imright606]

Yeah, way under $250,000.00 as a matter of fact..........I don't believe the GOVERNMENT AKA THE TAXPAYERS should furnish me a living.

[ContraEgoiste]

Here is an easy breakdown of Obamas vs McSame tax proposals even a /diot like you should be able to follow:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/story/2008/06/09/ST2008060900950.html

Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain are both proposing tax plans that would result in cuts for most American families. Obama's plan gives the biggest cuts to those who make the least, while McCain would give the largest cuts to the very wealthy.

[imright606]

Who do all you LIBERALS think the leaders of America-Hating countries want to be the next president here? stop and think about it.

[ContraEgoiste]

Exactly which "leaders of America-Hating countries" have said that they want to be president here?? Seems your last working neuron has commited seppuko.

[imright606]

Ebonics?

[imright606]

Do you not comprehend English?

[boophus]

I am stealing that line. I also like "What color are your padded walls?" and "You haven't been taking your meds, you naughty boy!" and "How's the dementia treatment working"
And my personal favorite "You have been listening to way too much Rush Limbaugh, you know there are 12 step programs to end dangerous brain warping addictions and help you regain sanity "

LMAO Kisses

[SayLessDoMore]

Hell, that's easy. George Bush. Best terrorist recruiter who ever lived. Ever.

[payos]

There's a reason they became "America hating"countries - the same reason the last eight years of American has given America loving people in this country ashamed of it.'s the simple-minded thinking of the likes of you CONSERVATIVES, or whatever it is you are that put us there. Stop and think about it? I detect an undertone there in that line of yours,if it's where I think you want it to go, I won't even go there...

[Passenger57]

imright606 is still clinging to the "If They Hate You,You're Doing Something Right" way of thinking. If other world leaders like you,then they'll be more willing to talk to you about our differences.It's amazing how much you can get done if you generally like the other guy.
As we get closer to the election, I expect a tape to be aired of "Osama" (*cough cough*) wins.

[LemonMeringue]

I know who the leaders of the America-loving countries want.

[sharonh]

So we won't invade and m*u*r*d*e*r without cause?

Now you post ah-Palin's experience.

Why don't you start with her education. LOL

[imright606]

UMM...........I believe you left out a few things.......maybe that's because Barack HUSSEIN Obama wants to keep certain things and AMERICA-HATING friends and associates hidden????? You REALLY do need to stop with the kool-aid drinking. What you don't know CAN hurt you.

[rogerdoger]

Everybody posting on these blogs should get a reality check...where are you (we) going to be in our future? Criticising someones voice? Please... now that's mature. Please check out this web site to reprioritise things!!

[coastalcarla]

Her voice will be the least of our problems if the Republicans take the Whitehouse again.

[Rjchinook]

This man had a negative near death experience because that is what he believed in in order to help change his life around. My near death experience & most all near death experiences are very positive. Heaven is pure love. By the way there is no such thing as enternity in hell; this is a man made belief to scare the hell out of people to do the right thing. Hell is what we create ourselves & on earth if we choose it.

[imright606]

Ummmmmm......YES, jahyarain, a flat percentage tax rate is equal taxation.

[RobertAndropolis]

Palin to my ears sounds like she's gotta take a crap and is holding it in...only to have it come out her mouth.

[SurferKit]

Can you imagine being married to that voice?

And I'm a woman so it isn't sexist if I say that. LOL

[mrsmdressup]

Amen sister!
