Barack Obama’s Followers:The Hellish Souls of the Progressives

The Face of the Left

Maybe it’s all those decades celebrating and reveling in repugnant sexual deviancies that has so dehumanized the left. Or maybe it is the haunting whispers of all the slaughtered infants collectively murmuring in their ears that have set them on a course of mental derangement. These are the folks who, after all, believe that animals have equal worth to humans, who loathe their nation, their heritage and themselves, yet champion murderers and pedophiles and rapists. They usher in the specter of eugenics and euthanasia gladly and sneer at regular folks, unless they can use them in the political arena.

I am stealing, in full, a post from MK at The Midnight Sun. As ugly as it is to look at the sewage that the left swims in, not enough people are aware of how rancid the followers of Obama are. This needs as much exposure as possible, as repellent as it is. MK is right:

I’m not going to bother fisking, debunking or whatever it’s called, what this woman said. Just pass this on to however many people you know folks, let them see the sneering, elitist, hatred the left really have for Sarah Palin; someone you support, someone who represents you, someone just like you, ……..you.

To attempt to comprehend the hellish soul of a “progressive” is indeed a futile undertaking. But please understand, this is the common voice of Barack Obama’s base. Pass it on.

Salon.com [Cintra Wilson] – I confess, it was pretty riveting when John McCain trotted out Sarah Palin for the first time. Like many people, I thought, “Damn, a hyperconservative, f**kable, Type A, antiabortion, Christian Stepford wife in a ’sexy librarian’ costume — as a vice president? That’s a brilliant stroke of horrifyingly cynical pandering to the Christian right. Karl Rove must be behind it.”

Palin may have been a boost of political Viagra for the limp, bloodless GOP (and according to an ABC/Washington Post poll she has created a boost in McCain’s standing among white women to a 53 over Obama’s 41). But ideologically, she is their hardcore pornographic centerfold spread, revealing the ugliest underside of Republican ambitions — their insanely zealous and cynical drive to win power by any means necessary, even at the cost of actual leadership.

Sarah Palin is a bit comical, like one of those cutthroat Texas cheerleader stage moms. …… The throat she’s so hot to cut is that of all American women. I don’t want Sarah Palin being the representative leader and custodian of my rights, my Constitution and my country any more than I want polygamist compound leader Warren Jeffs baby-sitting for my preteen goddaughters.

Progressive Hell

As a woman who does not believe what Palin believes, the thought of such an opportunistic anti-female in the White House — in the Cheney chair, no less — is akin to ideological brain rape. What this Republican blowup doll does with her own insides in accord with her own faith is her business. I did not think that women being downgraded to second-class, three-holed chattel would be a pressing concern in my lifetime. I thought it was like polio, or witch burning — an inhumane error that had already been corrected.

But after eight years of Republican hegemony, and now the potential ascendance of this sheep in ewe’s clothing, I am so mortally offended I feel like it is really time for women to be angry, hardcore and disgusted again. Not just with old white Christian patriarchs and their hopelessly calcified, religiously condoned misogyny, but also with the self-abnegating, submissive female Uncle Tommies whose ambitions and eagerness to please the powerful males of their tribe are so desperate that they would sell out their sovereignty over their own bodies. And yours too.

It was the media critic Douglas Rushkoff who pointed out, several years ago, that Republican politicians were employing marketing techniques perfected by Clotaire Rapaille. Rapaille, broadly paraphrased, introduced a theory that approximately 80 percent of all decision making is done at the level of the limbic system — our lowest, most colorless, reptilian emotional level. Republican strategies are consistent with a belief that the voting process, for most people, is full of feelings — but devoid of reason. Sarah Palin, in this light, makes so little sense that she makes perfect sense.

…… The choice of Palin represents what the Christian right is really saying to the women of America. The subtext: It’s a Faustian bargain, girls. To elevate your sex to power and respectability, you must first give us the keys to your chastity belt. It is unsurprising that the morally compromised fraternity of corruption-infested Republican robber barons and war profiteers came up with this stunt, but we must regard it in the same light as the rest of their treasonous, criminal behavior.

We must regard Sarah Palin as the Carmella Soprano of the GOP — an enabling wife of organized crime, who sees, hears and speaks no evil of the boys in her old-boy network for whom she does this ideological lap dance. …… Sarah Palin is the White House bunny — the most nauseating novelty confection of the evangelical mind-set since Southern “chastity balls,” wherein teen girls pledge abstinence from premarital sex by ceremonially faux-marrying their own fathers.

Sarah Palin is the sexual front of the culture war and the embodiment of the bold social engineering stance of the new authoritarianism that Republicans have been employing ever since they stole the election in 2000. As a result of conservative Republican policies, America has proved itself to be too rife with fraud, bureaucratic constipation, self-inflicted economic calamity, cronyism and incompetence to effect any positive movement anywhere at all, even at home.

But, the Republicans seem to be saying, at least we can offer you the hope of putting women back in their place. Bristol Palin will no doubt be a fine example as a first teen, particularly now that her mother is inflicting an old-fashioned shotgun wedding on the hapless, horny, condomless youth who impregnated her. The Republicans are, in effect, saying: We’re not going to win this race on the basis of being the better candidates.

Barack Obama is going to make you think. You don’t like thinking. Here’s an It Girl vice president who is easy on the eyes, you stodgy old white baby boomer. She’s like a grown-up version of Mary Ann from “Gilligan’s Island.” She embodies the raw conviction that everything the Republicans have ever done has been right. Sarah Palin and her virtual burqa have me and my friends retching into our handbags. She’s such a power-mad, backwater beauty-pageant casualty, it’s easy to write her off and make fun of her. But in reality I feel as horrified as a ghetto Jew watching the rise of National Socialism.

She is dangerous. She is not just pro-life, she’s anti-life. She is the suppression of human feeling and instinct. She is a slave to the compromises dictated by her own desire for power and control. Sarah Palin is untethered from her own needs and those of her family, which is in crisis, with a pregnant daughter, a son on the way to Iraq and a special-needs infant.

She should, however, be a galvanizing point for women everywhere. Not to support her candidacy but to rebel against the Republican Party and take back the respect and equality so hard-earned by the women’s liberation movement in the 1970s.We’ve been shanghaied. This is sick. We need to slap the face of our bad frat-boy date and walk home from this drive-in movie. Sarah Palin may put out to be popular, but the rest of America’s women don’t need to do the same.

If you still have your mental hazmat gear on, see another example of a liberal gutter mind at work from feminazi harridan Windy Doniger. Believe it or not, she may be even more foul than her sister feminaz, cintra.

Sarah Palin terrifies these people right down to their empty, black souls.

Sarah Palin’s “Small Town” Experience

Far from being a reprise of Mr Smith Goes to Washington, Palin was a clear-eyed politician who, from the day she took office, knew exactly what she had to do and whose toes she would step on to do it.

The surprise is not that she has been in office for such a short time but that she has succeeded in each of her objectives. She has exposed corruption; given the state a bigger share in Alaska’s energy wealth; and negotiated a deal involving big corporate players, the US and Canadian governments, Canadian provincial governments, and native tribes – the result of which was a £13 billion deal to launch the pipeline and increase the amount of domestic energy available to consumers. This deal makes the charge of having “no international experience” particularly absurd.

In short, far from being a small-town mayor concerned with little more than traffic signs, she has been a major player in state politics for a decade, one who formulated an ambitious agenda and deftly implemented it against great odds.

Her sudden elevation to the vice-presidential slot on the Republican ticket shocked no one more than her enemies in Alaska, who have broken out into a cold sweat at the thought of Palin in Washington, guiding the Justice Department’s anti-corruption teams through the labyrinths of Alaska’s old-boy network.

It is no surprise that many of the charges laid against her have come from Alaska, as her enemies become more and more desperate to bring her down. John McCain was familiar with this track record and it is no doubt the principal reason that he chose her.

Focusing on the exotic trappings of Alaskan culture may make Palin seem a quaint and inexplicable choice. But understanding the real background of her steady rise in politics suggests that Barack Obama and Joe Biden are underestimating her badly. In this, they join two former Alaskan governors, a large number of cronies, and a trail of enemies extending back over a decade.

Obama Smears McCain-Palin As Lipstick On A Pig

How the hell did Barack Obama get this far? No matter how the Progressives try to spin this, Obama basically called Palin a pig. How the hell can this man use the phrase – “Lipstick on a pig”- after this rather widely circulated Palin remark?

“What’s the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom?” Palin, Alaska’s governor, asked in her speech to the Republican convention.

“Lipstick.”

What the hell kind of judgement does he employ?

Sarah Palin Action Doll

This will be one for the new grand daughter. If all goes well with America, Sarah Palin will be finishing her second term when my grand daughter is 12. Finally, women have produced an admirable  leader and role model instead of the typical shrill, constipated feminist.

Two new action dolls have gone on sale of Sarah Palin, the Alaska Governor who John McCain has chosen to be his Republican presidential running mate.

The dolls are the latest in a line of American political candidates who have been immortalised including John McCain and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Two variations of the doll are on sale – Sarah Palin the Executive and Sarah Palin the Super Hero – available from toy company http://www.herobuilders.com at $27.95 (about £16) for the executive doll and two dollars more for the super hero version.

It is designed to capitalise on Sarah Palin mania that has gripped Republicans after the electrifying speech by the self-confessed “hockey mom” at the party convention in St Paul, Minnesota.

Hating Sarah Palin

The REProgressives are acting like babbling idiots in their furious contempt of Sarah Palin. This piece captures their asininity beautifully.

But, seriously, just look at the negatives: she’s a popular first-term governor, she’s a woman, she’s happily married, she has five kids, one of them with Down’s syndrome, she’s a maverick, she’s from way beyond the Beltway, she’s taken on both the Republican Party and Big Oil, she shoots automatic weapons, she can kill a moose with a butter knife and fillet a sea lion with a smile, her husband’s a roustabout Eskimo snowmobile champ, she’s a hockey mom, she was Miss Wasilla, she looks like she should be playing Cecily, the saucy librarian, in Tom Stoppard’s Travesties, and she doesn’t wear pantsuits. Heck, she hasn’t even appeared yet on Meet the Press! I mean, who in his right mind would vote for her?

Sure, if she were one of ours, not only would we have nominated her by acclamation, since she fulfills every trope of feminism except for her unfortunate and inexplicable opposition to murdering unborn children, we would also have made at least two TV movies about her life, celebrating her choice to have her fifth child and the announcement yesterday that her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant and is going to marry the teenage father of her child. That’s the kind of heartwarming, inclusive, empowering story we love — she’s like Juno come to life as Juneau, set in Mystery, Alaska.

But she’s not a Democrat, which despite her va-va-va-voom appearance, means she’s not really a woman, which is one of the reasons we’ve spent the past four days since McCain unveiled her trying to tear her limb from limb. Just because she’s the governor of a state sandwiched between two obscure and unimportant countries, Canada and Russia, and spent more time in her first five minutes visiting American troops in Iraq than Evita Barry did during his entire Rainbow Tour, what could she possibly know about foreign policy? It’s not like she’s John Edwards or something.

So that’s why we’re having our Wellstone Funeral Moment at the moment. We mean well; we promised ourselves we wouldn’t go over the top with our outright loathing of the Neanderthals who preach “Christian” values while practicing Wiccanism and child sacrifice and who hate black people and gay people and want to destroy the environment just because they can, and want to amass more money than even John Kerry or Jon Corzine or Herb Kohl or Jay Rockefeller or Dianne Feinstein — the five richest senators — or Ted Kennedy or John Edwards or Nancy Pelosi have. That, usually, is the Kos Kidz’s job. Along with speculating exactly how Bush got from My Pet Goat to planting the depth charges that blew up the levees in New Orleans.

But sometimes the mask slips and you can see — whoops! — how much we hate you. Normally we’re against hate in all its forms, and embrace tolerance as one of our defining moral attributes. But when it comes to you conservatives, well, with the best will in the world, we just can’t tolerate you. You’re elitist, you’re judgmental, you’re hypocritical, and we know that deep down you hate us even more than we hate you. Therefore, by any means necessary, we will defeat you this fall. Voter fraud, “walking around” money, legions of lawyers, as many recounts as it takes — bring it on!

Because we need to take back our country. We need to take it back from fascists like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, and give it back to its rightful proprietors, patriots like Henry Wallace, Sidney Hillman, Norman Thomas, Gus Hall, Karl Marx, Leon Trotsky, Joseph Stalin, Saul Alinsky, William Kunstler, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Bobby Seale, and, yes, my guy, the Talking Parrot, you know who.

VP Nominee Sarah Palin’s Speech

You're Gonna Lose Obama

What an incredible woman, something I’d never thought I’d say about any woman. A lucid and powerful speech, part of which appears below. Follow the link for the entire speech.

Time doesn’t permit me to post more tonight , but all I can say, Obama bin Biden, don’t even pretend you appeasing,  whining surrender monkeys can even begin to measure up to this real American. To paraphrase what Govenor Palin said, now that your Styrofoam Greek columns are back at the rent-a-prop shop, what the hell do you have left?

I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids’ public education better.

When I ran for city council, I didn’t need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and knew their families, too.

Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown.

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. I might add that in small towns, we don’t quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren’t listening.

We tend to prefer candidates who don’t talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.

Oh Gee Look at This – Lefty Media Praised Sarah Palin a Year Ago

To read the leftist media today is to find descriptions of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as some kind of corruption-tinged hell cat sociopath bent on destroying all that is America. The leftstream media paints a picture of Palin as a book burning condom stealing zealot.

But 11 months ago, long before Palin threatened to forever erase the notion that feminism on the national stage is solely for women who like to kill babies, openly hate men and are ugly as hell, Newsweek painted a much different picture: Palin as a corruption-busting trailblazer.

Bristol Palin Chooses Life

OK, it turns out that Bristol Palin, Sarah Palin’s daughter, is expecting a child. And you know what we are going to hear now. Eeeewwww hypocritical Christians, preaching against sex and unable to resist. And that shall probably be the most mild of the attacks that are leveled against her, given the crap they have already attempted to smear the Palins with. It is amazing that the left is so willing to pronounce judgement on the Christians they scorn, yet the only forgiveness they apply are to child rapists, cop killers and terrorists.
From Red State:

The foul denizens of Obama’s online base, who find the very idea of Sarah Palin as a strong feminist conservative mother absurd, engaged in the worst kind of putrid mudslinging over the past few days, suggesting in no uncertain terms that her daughter was the mother of Trig Palin. Of course, those of us who laughed at the baseless suggestions of the child-hating left (she’s not fat enough! they shriek) now know that to be impossible. We also know that McCain himself knew of Bristol’s pregnancy – which had to have made this past 48 hours all the more frustrating for the campaign. For all these reasons, it’s good to have this announcement come now.
[...]
To the Obama campaign: All right, people, bring it on. You tried and failed to say that Sarah Palin lied about her special-needs child. Now that the truth is out, would you like to try making the case that Sarah Palin is of a character not suited for high office because her daughter will have a child, and that her family will provide for the child in a loving and understanding way?

Or perhaps, to use the words of Barack Obama, you’d like us to believe that Bristol Palin is being punished?

Lest anyone forget, according to Obama’s espoused beliefs and his designation of children born out of wedlock as punishments, this is the likely fate of an unexpected Obama grandchild.

Aborted "punishment"

I found this entry about the DNC convention interesting. I certainly would have loved to been privy to Michelle Obama’s thoughts.

As Michelle Obama and her entourage left their hotel this afternoon to go to the Democratic National Convention, they were confronted with huge images of aborted babies on Operation Rescue’s fleet of Truth Trucks.

The Truth Trucks are also emblazoned with the website AbortionisanObamaNation.com, which directs viewers to a web site that features a video of an actual abortion as well as documentation of Sen. Barack Obama’s radical support for abortion.

Truth Truck driver Bob Rothlisberger reports that Mrs. Obama stared at the Truth Trucks for several seconds.

“This is one of the reasons why it is so important for us to be at events like the DNC,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “Without the Truth Trucks, I doubt if we would ever get the opportunity to show Mrs. Obama the reality of what her husband’s extremist support for abortion really means, in human terms. A picture’s worth a thousand words, and she definitely got the message today.”

“It becomes a little more real when someone like Mrs. Obama sees her family name on top of photos of the bloody bodies of actual aborted babies. It is important for the Obamas to understand the very tragic consequences of their support for abortion. We pray that this encounter affects her on a very deep level and gives her more compassion for the innocent lives that are brutally and inhumanely killed by abortion,” said Newman.( Source)

From Redstate:

Have no doubts about this: Bristol Palin is brave. Braver than any of the hideous bloggers, hiding in their anonymity, who throw muck at her mother and who will doubtlessly revile her decision. Braver than the foes of the right to life who would offer her a knife and a vacuum to end this minor inconvenience. Brave enough to know that it’s not enough to talk about doing the right thing – it’s doing that right thing when the moment calls for it the most.

We thank her for making this choice now – her child will thank her forever.

Alan Colmes is Simply a Pig

Alan Comes=Pig

Alan Colmes disgusts me. Even if I liked Hannity, which I don’t particularly, the sight of skeletor at his side compels me to change channels. Perhaps he presents such an emaciated mien due to the progressive liberal disease ravaging not only his brain, but his body.

This from the side of the aisle who howls about hatred from the right. This from progressives who delight in all manner of sexual perversion. If they believe traditional standards to be without merit or legitimacy, why do they value them enough to use them against the right.

In her speech in Dayton today, Gov. Sarah Palin announced that she and her husband are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary, which means they were married on August 29, 1988.

On April 20, 1989 – less than eight months after they eloped – their first son, Track, was born.

I think I can guess the real reason why they eloped, and it wasn’t to save money on an expensive wedding.

Update: And here is more swine slop from the trough that Progressive pigs gorge from. They attempt to say that the Palin’s youngest, Trig, is a result of incest. I imagine so much incest goes on in their world, that would be a natural conclusion for these sub-humans.

Update: And it just didn’t end. Environmental Republican captured a screen shot of a previous entry on Alan Colmes site speculating that Trig has Downs Syndrome due to poor pre-natal care. He has since taken the entry down. Thank God for screen shots. H/T: LGF

Obama Is Scared of Guns, Sarah Palin Locks and Loads

Sarah Palin

GUNS AND HUNTING – “I am a lifetime member of the NRA, I support our Constitutional right to bear arms and am a proponent of gun safety programs for Alaska’s youth….I have always strongly supported the personal use of fish and game by Alaskans. I grew up hunting and fishing in Alaska, and I am proud to raise my children with this same uniquely Alaskan heritage. … Anti-hunting groups who oppose hunting and fishing rights will be the winners if we allow them to pit us against ourselves….As an Alaskan with strong beliefs on this issue, I am confident in my ability to build consensus among diverse user groups and reconcile the many competing interests in a manner.” (Source)

Obama and Biden

The Obama/Biden ticket is the most anti-gun presidential campaign in recent memory. In Obama, you have a former board member of the Joyce Foundation who steered millions of dollars towards gun-control groups. He’s touted his support for bans on handguns and a 500 percent increase on taxes for guns and ammunition, and has called for bans on ammunition (including some of the most popular hunting ammunition).

His running mate, Joe Biden, is a career anti-gun politician. Remember 1994? Remember those dark days when the Clinton administration and their cronies in Congress banned semi-automatic firearms based entirely on cosmetic features? Guess who was one of those most responsible for that gun ban? None other than Joe Biden.

Biden has consistently voted against your Second Amendment rights as a U.S. senator, and Obama’s made it clear that his vision of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is meaningless. This pair, if elected, would be the biggest threat to your firearm freedoms in decades, and that’s with the recent decision in the Heller case. We can’t afford to stay home on Election Day, and we can’t afford to stay silent between now and then. It’s our job to speak up and speak out about the Obama/Biden ticket so that every gun owner is aware of what’s at stake … nothing less than the continued exercise of our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. (Source)

And as we have come to expect of him, Barack Obama lies……

On gun rights, Freddoso points out that Obama stated on national television that the recent Heller decision was “in line with his own view” on gun rights. Nothing could be further
According to a 1996 questionnaire he filled out while running for the Illinois Senate, Obama promised to support a ban on “the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns.” Even though Obama’s handwriting appeared on the questionnaire, Obama’s campaign would earlier this year that his staff filled it out and he was completely unaware of the answer he had given.

You don’t have to go back that far to find Obama taking an extreme stance against gun rights. In 2004, while running for the U.S. Senate, he promised to bar citizens nationwide from receiving concealed-carry permits. The Chicago Tribune reported then that Obama “backed federal legislation that would ban citizens from carrying weapons, except for law enforcement.” Obama explained his plan to pre-empt state concealed-carry laws with a federal bill: “National legislation,” Obama said at the time, “will prevent other states’ flawed concealed-weapons laws from threatening the safety of Illinois residents.”

Sarah Palin: “Small Town” Barracuda

Images stolen from Presto Pundit

Sarah Palin. Outstanding!!!! Finally, a woman leader that I can respect.

She hunts. She fishes. She was voted Miss Congeniality after winning a beauty pageant in her small town in Alaska. She is a mother of five and a churchgoer who says her favourite meal is moose stew.

But the quality that may serve Sarah Palin best after being chosen by John McCain as his running mate yesterday may be the competitiveness and determination to win that earned her the name Sarah Barracuda for her sharp elbows as high school basketball player.(Source)

Barracuda, is it? I’d say so!

Just look at the wiki entry below. The girl has some balls, going after her own party, standing on principle instead of politics. ( You can find the term “principles” in the dictionary Obama. No doubt you’ll need to look it up.)
Obama’s camp had the nerve to come out with this snipe:

Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Go put your toga back on and find another temple for your misguided flock to worship you at. The only foreign policy experince you have had is supporting your Marxist cousin in Kenya and your recent rock tour through Europe. Sarah Palin shows you up as the metrosexual whiner that you are. And I bet she’d kick your ass on the basketball court. And Obama, sweetie, had you tried your type of politics in Sarah Palin’s “small town” she would have run you out on a rail!

Palin served two terms on the Wasilla City Council from 1992 to 1996. In 1996, she challenged and defeated the incumbent mayor, criticizing wasteful spending and high taxes.[6] The ex-mayor and sheriff tried to organize a recall campaign, but failed.[6] Palin followed through on her campaign promises to reduce her own salary, and to reduce property taxes by 60%.[6] She ran for reelection against the former mayor in 1999, winning by an even larger margin.[6][11] Palin was also elected president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors.[12]

In 2002, Palin made an unsuccessful bid for Lieutenant Governor, coming in second to Loren Leman in a five-way race in the Republican primary. After Frank Murkowski resigned from his long-held U.S. Senate seat in mid-term to become governor, Palin interviewed to be his possible successor. Murkowski appointed his daughter, then-Alaska State Representative Lisa Murkowski.[6]

Governor Murkowski appointed Palin Ethics Commissioner of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission,[13] where she served from 2003 to 2004 until resigning in protest over what she called the “lack of ethics” of fellow Alaskan Republican leaders, who ignored her whistleblowing complaints of legal violations and conflicts of interest.[14][6] After she resigned, she exposed the state Republican Party’s chairman, Randy Ruedrich, one of her fellow Oil & Gas commissioners, who was accused of doing work for the party on public time, and supplying a lobbyist with a sensitive e-mail.[15] Palin filed formal complaints against both Ruedrich and former Alaska Attorney General Gregg Renkes, who both resigned; Ruedrich paid a record $12,000 fine.[6]
[...]
Highlights of Governor Palin’s tenure include a successful push for an ethics bill, and also shelving pork-barrel projects supported by fellow Republicans. After federal funding for the Gravina Island Bridge project that had become a nationwide symbol of wasteful earmark spending was lost, Palin decided against filling the over $200 million gap with state money.[17][18] “Alaska needs to be self-sufficient, she says, instead of relying heavily on ‘federal dollars,’ as the state does today.”[19]

She has challenged the state’s Republican leaders, helping to launch a campaign by Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell to unseat U.S. Congressman Don Young[20] and publicly challenging Senator Ted Stevens to come clean about the federal investigation into his financial dealings.[17]

In 2007, Palin had an approval rating often above 90%.[19] A poll published by Hays Research on July 28, 2008 showed Palin’s approval rating at 80%,[21] while another Ivan Moore poll showed it at 76%, a drop which the pollsters attributed to the controversial firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan.[22]

Sarah Palin For McCain’s VP?

I’ve avoided blogging about McCain. It’s too depressing. In fact, the only way McCain is going to be palatable is if I keep focusing on his socialist opponents.

I might pay a bit more attention to McCain if he chooses a running mate that is, well, unlike him. One name apparently touted about is Sarah Palin, the conservative governor of Alaska. I really do not have much faith in women politicians either but this woman doesn’t sound like an embittered femi-nazi still bitching about glass ceilings.

Yet another national talk-show host seems very pleased with the idea of Sarah Palin becoming our next Vice President. This time, it’s Laura Ingraham. During a discussion of the Veepstakes Monday morning, Miss Ingraham was considerably less than impressed with almost all of the VP possibilities being floated in the media. The notable exception, however, was a certain Governor from the Last Frontier.

Gov. Palin is clearly the only VP candidate who can cement McCain’s support in the conservative base AND make the ticket more appealing to independent voters. Most of the other names being thrown around can only perform one of those tasks, but there is one candidate can do both. Her name is Sarah Palin.

from… Draft Sarah Palin For Vice President

Some of the things that I like about her is she is for development of ANWR, a card carrying member of NRA, a hunter, a fisherman, small business advocate, pro military, and pro-life. (source)

The problem is she is about ready to deliver her fifth child. I can see the liberal feminists sputtering as they try to derail a possible VP run by somehow implying that a woman with an infant couldn’t do the job. Normally, I ‘d agree, but if this woman has accomplished as much as she has in her career while raising four other children, my guess is that motherhood hasn’t been an impediment.
