...So let's set the record straight. Sarah Pahlen (sp?) is not only more qualified for the Oval Office than Barack Obama -- she might just be the most qualified political candidate in our nation's history:

1. Putting Country First - Her membership in the Alaska Independence Party proves that she's exactly the kind of leader America needs: the kind that will always put country first -- even if that country happens to be The Republic of Alaska. Obama claims he loves America -- but has he ever loved it enough to favor seceding from it? It's called tough love, Senator. Look into it.

2. Independence - Sarah hates indicted Senator Ted Stevens, but raised money for him. She hates the "bridge to nowhere," but supported it. She wants to shatter Hillary's glass ceiling, but wears t-shirts touting the size of her boobs. We're dealing with an innovative politician; one who refuses to be categorized. Obama may call himself the candidate of "change," but Sarah Pailen's (sp?) entire political life has been about saying one thing, and then doing another. Now that's "change we can believe in."

3. Family Values - This is someone who's not afraid to preach abstinence for your daughter, even though her own unmarried 17-year-old daughter is pregnant. This is someone who's not afraid to hop on a plane from Texas to Alaska while she's in premature labor. This is someone who's not afraid to hit the campaign trail with a 5-month-old special needs baby. That's what I call dedication to family. Obama, on the other hand? A Muslim.

4. Intellect - Yes, Sarah recently admitted that she didn't know exactly what it was the Vice President did. Yes, she wants creationism taught in public schools. Yes, she doesn't believe global warming is manmade. But I'd like to point out the fact that she wears glasses -- and that's not something dumb people generally do. Obama? No glasses.

5. Military Affairs - As Governor, Pollen (sp?) is authorized to deploy Alaska's National Guard in times of emergency. And while the Guard's Adjunct General admits that she plays no role in national defense, and isn't briefed on military exercises, the fact is -- she's been photographed holding a machine gun, while Obama has yet to wield so much as a .38 for the cameras. When it comes to keeping me safe, that's all I need to know.

6. Foreign Affairs - While Obama likes to take Middle East tours, meet with Europe's leaders, and brag about his running mate being the foreign policy voice of the Senate, he can't hold a candle to Palenn's (sp?) understanding of today's complex, dangerous world. Yes, Sarah admitted that she hadn't paid much attention to the war in Iraq, but she knew enough to rightly call it a "task from God." Yes, she's only left North America once in her life, but her experience as a local sportscaster gave her the ability to follow events as they unfold at lightning speed. And as Cindy McCain pointed out, while Barack Obama was sipping lattes in Cambridge Square, Sarah Pinkston (sp?) was staring down the barrel of Putin's Kalashnikov -- a one woman wall keeping America safe from invasion.

7. Restoring America's Image - Who better than a former beauty queen to add some new luster to America's battered image? Paylen (sp?) will take a proverbial can of Aqua Net to our nation's unruly hair, and apply liberal (no pun intended) amounts of blush to Lady Liberty's cheekbones. In a word, she'll dazzle the world with her charm and style. Even the most anti-Western extremists will melt when they see the People and Vanity Fair spreads of Sarah warming her fur-lined extremities over burning science textbooks. And how would Obama restore our leadership in the world? The question we should be asking is: why does he only have two children, while Sarah has at least twice that number? What does Senator Obama have against America's children?

8. Her Soul - In one 15-minute meeting, and one follow-up phone call, John McCain was able to determine that Sarah was more than his running mate -- she was his "soul mate." Not only that, but that she was more qualified to be a heartbeat away from the Oval Office than any Republican on earth. Yes, this is a testament to the power and quickness of McCain's decision making. But it's also a testament to the power of Sarah Payton's (sp?) soul. As a Muslim, it's not even clear that Obama has a soul.

So is Sarah Pillston (sp?) qualified to be Vice President? To be one bad biopsy away from being the most powerful human being on earth? To lead America back to prominence and prosperity, while keeping us safe from a world of ever-changing threats?

In her own words: "Yup...yup."

The false Democratic/Republican paradigm is set up to give the people the idea that they still have a choice in government. They don't. Both are owned, both sides are puppets and it doesn't matter who wins. The wargames will continue and America will sustain its course of disintegration. Biden/Obama is no different than McCain/Palin.

Once Biden was selected all credibility as Obama being a reformer and the Hope for Change went out the window, welcome status quo.

The woman from nowhere

Sep 4th 2008
From The Economist print edition

John McCain’s choice of running-mate raises serious questions about his judgment

THE most audacious move of the race so far is also, potentially, the most self-destructive. John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin as his running-mate has set the political atmosphere alight with both enthusiasm and dismay.

Mr McCain has based his campaign on the idea that this is a dangerous world—and that Barack Obama is too inexperienced to deal with it. He has also acknowledged that his advanced age—he celebrated his 72nd birthday on August 29th—makes his choice of vice-president unusually important. Now he has chosen as his running mate, on the basis of the most cursory vetting, a first-term governor of Alaska.

The reaction from inside the conservative cocoon was at first ecstatic. Conservatives argued that Mrs Palin embodies the “real America”—a moose-hunting hockey mum, married to an oil-worker, who has risen from the local parent-teacher association to governing the geographically largest state in the Union. They praise her as a McCain-style reformer who has taken on her state’s Republican establishment and has a staunch pro-life record (her fifth child has Down’s syndrome). Who better to harpoon the baby-murdering elitists who run the Democratic Party?

Mrs Palin was greeted like the reincarnation of Ronald Reagan by the delegates, furious at her mauling at the hands of the “liberal media”. And she delivered a tub-thumping speech, underlining her record as a reforming governor and advocate of more oil-drilling, and warning her enemies not to underestimate her (“the difference between a hockey mum and a pitbull—lipstick”). But once the cheering and the chanting had died down, serious questions remained.

The political calculations behind Mr McCain’s choice hardly look robust. Mrs Palin is not quite the pork-busting reformer that her supporters claim. She may have become famous as the governor who finally killed the infamous “bridge to nowhere”—the $220m bridge to the sparsely inhabited island of Gravina, Alaska. But she was in favour of the bridge before she was against it (and told local residents that they weren’t “nowhere to her”). As mayor of Wasilla, a metropolis of 9,000 people, she initiated annual trips to Washington, DC, to ask for more earmarks from the state’s congressional delegation, and employed Washington lobbyists to press for more funds for her town.

Nor is Mrs Palin well placed to win over the moderate and independent voters who hold the keys to the White House. Mr McCain’s main political problem is not energising his base; he enjoys more support among Republicans than Mr Obama does among Democrats. His problem is reaching out to swing voters at a time when the number of self-identified Republicans is up to ten points lower than the number of self-identified Democrats. Mr McCain needs to attract roughly 55% of independents and 15% of Democrats to win the election. But it is hard to see how a woman who supports the teaching of creationism rather than contraception, and who is soon to become a 44-year-old grandmother, helps him with soccer moms in the Philadelphia suburbs. A Rasmussen poll found that the Palin pick made 31% of undecided voters less likely to plump for Mr McCain and only 6% more likely.

The moose in the room, of course, is her lack of experience. When Geraldine Ferraro was picked as Walter Mondale’s running-mate, she had served in the House for three terms. Even the hapless Dan Quayle, George Bush senior’s sidekick, had served in the House and Senate for 12 years. Mrs Palin, who has been the governor of a state with a population of 670,000 for less than two years, is the most inexperienced candidate for a mainstream party in modern history.

Inexperienced and Bush-level incurious. She has no record of interest in foreign policy, let alone expertise. She once told an Alaskan magazine: “I’ve been so focused on state government; I haven’t really focused much on the war in Iraq.” She obtained an American passport only last summer to visit Alaskan troops in Germany and Kuwait. This not only blunts Mr McCain’s most powerful criticism of Mr Obama. It also raises serious questions about the way he makes decisions.

Vetted for 15 minutes

Mr McCain had met Mrs Palin only once, for a 15-minute chat at the National Governors’ Association meeting, before summoning her to his ranch for her final interview. The New York Times claims that his team arrived in Alaska only on August 28th, a day before the announcement. As a result, his advisers seem to have been gobsmacked by the Palin show that is now playing on the national stage. She has links to the wacky Alaska Independence Party, which wants to secede from the Union. She is on record disagreeing with Mr McCain on global warming, among other issues. The contrast with Mr Obama’s choice of the highly experienced and much-vetted Joe Biden is striking.

Mr McCain’s appointment also raises more general worries about the Republican Party’s fitness for government. Up until the middle of last week Mr McCain was still considering two other candidates whom he has known for decades: Joe Lieberman, a veteran senator, independent Democrat and Iraq war hawk, and Tom Ridge, a former governor of Pennsylvania (a swing state with 21 Electoral College votes) and the first secretary of homeland security. Mr McCain reluctantly rejected both men because their pro-choice views are anathema to the Christian right.

The Palin appointment is yet more proof of the way that abortion still distorts American politics. This is as true on the left as on the right. But the Republicans seem to have gone furthest in subordinating considerations of competence and merit to pro-life purity. One of the biggest problems with the Bush administration is that it appointed so many incompetents because they were sound on Roe v Wade. Mrs Palin’s elevation suggests that, far from breaking with Mr Bush, Mr McCain is repeating his mistakes.

This was nothing but a very weak attempt to pull Hillary voters (McCain will need some of them to win). When Palin is put on the spot, when she has to go off script, the warts will be seen. She is nothing but an earmark whore.
Instead of pushing to grab the independents, McCains' choice has moved him further right, away from the people he must have in order to win.

Except a major shift in the polls for McCain and Palin proves otherwise... hehe

It was the family and friend of more than four thousand dead soldiers who cried as a direct consequence of having alcoholic, coke snorting, failed oiled man occupy the white house. Not to mention the family of those who have suffered irreparable brain damage or lost limbs.

How many more will have real cause to cry if we elect McCain who promises to continue those exact same Middle Eastern policies?

Nonsense. In spite of the fact that bombs explode in Baghdad everyday, McCain thinks the surge worked. Palin has said we’ll stay until we “win”. Of course, like Bush, neither McCain nor Palin can tell us what “winning” means in this context and neither have an exit strategy. The McCain non-strategy provides the Iraqi government (which now has a budget surplus) with absolutely no reason to step up to the plate. Why should they spend money and take the risks when the Americans will both foot the bill and take the casualties in military personnel? Obama has proposed a schedule for responsible withdrawal that will force the Iraqi government to shoulder their responsibilities.

Ah come on Lad, get your eyes off starrs cute body and think for a minute.She preaches womens rights .Gay rights etc but posts that video about Palins teenage daughter and laughs about it. Typical hypocritical liberal . You see Iam sexist, I'm a bit of a homophobe but at least I admit it.

I think in Starrs eyes womens rights , liberal values only applies if your 'mom' isn't the republican VP candidate. I highly doubt she would have posted that if it had been the hilderbeasts kid.And if a republican supporter did Iam sure she would scream and stamp her feet. So yes posting the video was cuntish and sadly she is a cnut in my eyes until further notice. She needs to apologise for acting the cunt and we will say no more about it.

WASILLA, Alaska — Gov. Sarah Palin lives by the maxim that all politics is local, not to mention personal.

So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as a qualification for running the roughly $2 million agency.

Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five schoolmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages....

Rick Steiner, a University of Alaska professor, sought the e-mail messages of state scientists who had examined the effect of global warming on polar bears. (Ms. Palin said the scientists had found no ill effects, and she has sued the federal government to block the listing of the bears as endangered.) An administration official told Mr. Steiner that his request would cost $468,784 to process.

When Mr. Steiner finally obtained the e-mail messages — through a federal records request — he discovered that state scientists had in fact agreed that the bears were in danger, records show.

“Their secrecy is off the charts,” Mr. Steiner said....

Ms. Palin entered the 2006 primary for governor as a formidable candidate.

In the middle of the primary, a conservative columnist in the state, Paul Jenkins, unearthed e-mail messages showing that Ms. Palin had conducted campaign business from the mayor’s office. Ms. Palin handled the crisis with a street fighter’s guile.

“I told her it looks like she did the same thing that Randy Ruedrich did,” Mr. Jenkins recalled. “And she said, ‘Yeah, what I did was wrong.’ ”

Mr. Jenkins hung up and decided to forgo writing about it. His phone rang soon after.

Mr. Jenkins said a reporter from Fairbanks, reading from a Palin news release, demanded to know why he was “smearing” her. “Now I look at her and think: ‘Man, you’re slick,’ ” he said...

Last summer, Mayor Mark Begich of Anchorage, a Democrat, pressed Ms. Palin to meet with him because the state had failed to deliver money needed to operate city traffic lights. At one point, records show, state officials told him to just turn off a dozen of them. Ms. Palin agreed to meet with Mr. Begich when he threatened to go public with his anger, according to city officials...

ENJOY!

LOL

Actually you're the cunt, arnie. You and Sarah Palin.

Ah spunkchops me old tiger. That cut me down to the bone that did. Your on the money on sarah palin . She is a cunt , you have to be to get where she is as a woman. But difference is she's my kind of cunt. She hunts , tough on Gays and is pretty. But what makes her so attractive spunky iswhen you marmite miners cry when she becomes VP. That fat cunt Moore might shoot himself you never know :wink:

I don't like you spunky but your not stupid , we both know Palin is going to be VP.SO I have a question for you Obama is not only Black (well half black depending who you ask) but he's the wrong kind of Black , his views are to the left which mean he does not have a hope of becoming president . Why do the dems persist in backing losers ? I mean the person who should be the next president (Condy Rice) can't be because the media have done a hatchet job on her because of her being close to Bush. But she does have perhaps the greatest political mind in US politics today. But I understand why the republicans haven't picked her because she has no chance.

Why can't the Dems see, that though Obama might be totally acceptable to them in their idealist , PC, handwringing world he won't be enough to the American Public at voting time ? I await your answer anxiously.

Well Tina Fey is going to have a long time to do impressions of Palin , your next vice president. She might nearly get as good as Rory Bremner!

The only people who aren't ready for Obama are clueless right-wingers like yourself who don't mind being told what to do by the Religious Wrong and it's stooges in the GOP. McSame had no choice on the Palin pick. His masters(your masters) told the senile old fool what his choice was.

Perhaps Mcain was told who to pick but Iam not sure how you can be 100 % certain unless you are in his inner circle . Or are you someone who wears hats of tin foil? , you never struck me as that kind of nutjob but perhaps you are. Who are my masters? Lizardmen? reptiles? zionists?

No Palin was partly picked as sucessful Black mans kyptonite, a pretty white woman. Because the kool aid drinking masses will lap it up. Sad that many of you yanks are like this but oh well. The other reason was because Mcain needed the guntoting God bothers on side. Thats how simple it is.

Oh Iam not even Christian , it just suits my Political leanings and world view to support bible thumpers in this coming election. .Palins no Thatcher unfortunately.

We'll see at “voting time.” Maybe he will, maybe he won’t; but why do you think the democratic party should run someone counter to their political philosophy? Just because you guys have no integrity doesn’t mean we have to give up ours.

Speaking of “handwringing”, it’s the “please spend any amount of money and risk the lives of any number of soldiers, but please please please save me from the muslim horde” cowards that are wringing their hands.

Whoa! There you did it, you mentioned her taut ties to Bush and thereby sunk another hatchet between her shoulder blades. So what did Condie do with her skills while serving in the current administration? She covered and supported every one of Bush’s policies on Iraq. She gave him no contrary advice or opposing perspectives. Oops! Now I did it! Another hatchet right in the back of her skull. I just don’t think it’s possible to discuss Condie’s qualifications without mentioning Bush and her unquestioning acceptance of his policies. Oh Shit, sorry, there went another hatchet. I can see now the press didn’t really have much choice; the hatchets just kinda fling themselves.

But seriously, there's really a lot of similarity between Condi and that...who's that old guy running with Palin?...Oh yeah, McCain. He voted with Bush's policies 95% of the time, right down the line. THWAWPPP!!!! Was that a hatchet? Sorry. Sure McCain at first opposed the torture bill, perhaps because he has an ancient dim memory of once being tortured himself. But in the end he came around and voted that Americans can torture, provided they call it enhenced interrogation. THWAWPPP! Oops! Sorry. He voted to give up our civil liberties via the patriot bill. THWAWPPP THWAWP!!! Who needs habeas corpus THWAPPP! Sorry, sorry...didn't mean to throw those. It's just too easy.
