SO WILL I!
(but I’m not a dem)
DITTO posts 1&2!
Nice article. We are going to need people like this to win the election and I think there are a lot more of them out there than the Dems would like to believe.
So, its more for John McCain than Palin!
will this cycle ‘wake up’ other democrats to the fact that their party has left them as well?
I’m hoping so..
I very seldom listen to political speeches, but tonight I will be glued to the set for Sarah’s. I love this lady and all she has done in her life. I can hardly wait to vote in Nov.
L
Eloquent and intellegently written. What a great case she makes for Palin. I especially love
She hunts moose for crying out loud! Do you think Obama and his MSM pansies frighten her? There is no way McCain will ask her to step down and there is now way she’s gonna quit.
Navywife, are most women smart enough to see through the Democrats lying that they’re not trashing her while continuing to trash her? I would think most sensible women would be p-o-ed by that.
There’s a distasteful “Wellstone Memorial” quality to the glee Democrats seem to take in trashing the Palin family.
From the linked article:
Beautifully written reasoning – and true!
Most of the trash you’ve thrown at Obama sticks better to Palin.
She was in church two weeks ago when the pastor said that terrorism against Israel was the fault of Jews who have not converted to Christianity.
She recorded a glowingly positive message to an anti-American group.
She supported the “bridge to nowhere”, complaining that that town of 50 was not “nowhere”.
If she is good enough for Pat Buchanon …she is good enough for me. I have said repeatedly I would not vote for John McCain. Then I thought well maybe if he picked Romney. I actually think she is better than Romney. I had my doubts over whether he was part of the corporate establishment that would forget about the middle class. Sara is the middle class and there is not better person to , other than a truly virginal entry into the realm of politics, that would be better than that bunch of Elder phony statesmen that have been in office way too long…Time for some fresh blood…..Her real problems highlighted by the media make her even more relatable to middle Americans.
No wonder the liberal loons are so desperate!
Right on! I’m sending this to all my catholic aunties that insist on voting the “party line”. They’ll be irritated, but it’s that important!
just recently, I lost my job and my DMV wife is working.. I’m a stay at home dad with two daughters (3 & 5)..
this job is TOUGH..
DMV = Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine.
not the hell of motor vehicles..
I forgot to mention…McCain becomes a viable candidate based on the absolute LUNACY of allowing Obama to gain office…….
I hope this backlashes on the Democrats in way that they can’t even imagine..
I have honestly never see such shameless & evil behavior against a candidate in all my life.
Even if we were to lose this election, the Dems better watch out in 2012.. I’m as angry as I’ve ever been, & will be channeling that into defeating Democrats for the rest of my days on earth.. I’m sure there are many, many people who feel this way.
Boy, you’ve been busy lgm!
How much money ended up in the collection plate that day?
I too am a Catholic and a member of the Knights of Columbus. Many in my parish are Democrats who are pro-life. It will be intersting to me, as I intend to stir the pot, how my fellow parishioners feel about the bashing of Sarah Palin.
Haha lgm, I must admit I’m impressed that a person of your low moral character could even type the word “church” without spontaneously combusting.. Maybe you should try seeing what the inside of one looks like some time, before you start talking about them..
No, it’s more the Democrat party has abandoned it’s traditional base of hard working everyday American families in favor of communist/socialist/elitist non-producing parasites.
They are relying on the loyalty of union workers and “we’ve always voted Dem” people that are willing to accept any government intrusion into their personal lives because the party says it’s better than George Bush the Fascist.
LGM Math.
20 years of racist anti-american hate + donating personal money + shifting taxpayer funds (via Anneberg with a terrorist coworker) = 1 visit from an evangelical loon.
EXCUSE ME!?!?!? There was a period of time when I was unemployed and my wife worked. Yes, I was a full-time daddy. Raising a child is a “real job” if I ever saw one. And you don’t get any vacation time. Or sick leave. And you can’t go home and forget about it at the end of the day.
The spineless democrats possess neither the character or bravery to stand for principle.
Are you sure you want to go down the path of “Was the candidate at church when something controversial was said?”.
Also, note the difference that this was a guest speaker and not her pastor.
Why so scared, lgm? Why are you so desperate?
Answer: More than Obama has given to assist his half brother in Kenya.
When will we see his picture on the front page of the NY Times?
lgm,
Once again you spew and run. The link to the so-called judgment of the Jews is another hatchet job by Andrew Sullivan who doesn’t give the entire transcript of the sermon, which happened only two weeks ago. Obama soaked in Jeremiah Wright’s hate speech for 20 YEARS!
As far as the AIP goes, as long as we have to share our country with you, who can blame them for wanting to go it alone?
Really, LGM. You’d be better off trash collecting that trying to defend your beloved Barry Obama and the addled Joey “I love to slur my words” Biden.
Mrs. Suann Maier has the strong character (and probably strong Christian beliefs) needed in a good person and a good leader. Her actions and life decisions speak more loudly than the Messiah’s empty words–just words.
We look in horror at the 6 million innocent Jews killed by Hitler’s holocaust. What about the 40+ million innocent babies (not fetusus) killed in abortions? This is nearing the 50+ million deaths caused in all of World War II. The liberals sweep these deaths under the rug.
God Bless Mrs. Palin and Mrs. Maier for making the correct (not convenient) decisions in their lives. I respect and vote for people based on their CHARACTER and ACTIONS–not on their words.
John Bibb
Not to mention the fact that the MSM keeps repeating that the only reason McCain picked Palin is because she’s a woman and does he really think women are stupid enough to vote for him for only that reason. Everytime I hear one of them say that, it just makes me more angry. I am sick of this and I am going to do what I can to make sure Palin is our next VP.
Thanks flyoverman. I assumed lgm could also tell me what color dress Mrs. Palin was wearing.
I blame hemp, myself.
a very well reasoned argument. the democrat party of today is NOT the fdr-jfk democrat party. todays democrat party is the party of extremist kooks with 1 issue, be it environmental whacko drivel, abortion on demand for everyone, homosexual rights that are more than rights, minority rights that are more than rights, and socialism for all so the politburo can rest easy in their dachas on the virginia/n carolina shore.
Good for you, tre!!!!!
I am seriously considering voting for the Republican ticket this year because of Sarah Palin despite my intense dislike of John McCain and his betrayal of America on the Immigration issue.
I’m not there yet, but the more I hear the more I like of Palin. I’ll likely decide on the Monday before Election Day.
Amen. I still have serious issues with McCain, but the behavior I have witnessed in the media since last Friday has strengthened my resolve to support McCain/Palin like nothing else.
You want to see conservatives mobilize with a mission? Keep up these false attacks, it is just stoking the fire.
I’ve had enough of this crap.
Yeh that tone of yours has changed a bit.
This is the best line in the whole thing.
I wish I could get some of my lifelong Catholic Dem Union friends to see and understand this.
I shake my head everyday and wonder how any Catholic can vote for Obama and still hold his/her head up in Church.
I will vote for Gov. Palin because no other candidate has ever struck so much FEAR into the liberal left!!!
GO McCain/Palin’08 Go
WE GOT YOUR BACKS
Vince, if you can, talk to those Caholic friends and explain why voting for the Democratic ticket violates the Church teaching on abortion.
In voting for Obama they will be formally cooperating with evil, as they have a clear choice with the pro life candidate, John McCain.
According to the Magisterium, to vote in formal cooperation with evil is a mortal sin.
I’ve signed up to volunteer for the McCain-Palin ticket. One of the ways to help is to host an event, in which one can discuss the candidate’s position and why it’s better than the alternative. So, I’m going to host one (at home, naturally), and invite some Catholics who may be unsure or sitting on the fence about this election, so that we can come to an understanding why a conscientious Catholic cannot vote for a pro abortion candidate when a pro life one is available.
Heh lgm, you’re a smart gut what do you make of this?
Good for her…and Joe Lieberman…and Zell Miller…and Ronald Reagan. Keep them former “D”s coming.
It’s interesting she used the phrase “I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the party left me.” Both sides of the aisle it seems.
And by the way, candidates’ families are off limits. Except for Palin’s kids.
I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message. I also command you in the name of my holiness to accept this message at the eternal peril of your soul.
When examining the fallacy of the so-called “Pro-Choice” movement, we need look no further than the vile attacks on Sarah Palin’s decision to bear her son, and the attacks on her daughter for proceeding with her own pregnancy, as support for our position that it is truly “Pro-Abortion”, and not “Pro-Choice”.
You’re a liar. Go away, troll, nobody’s in the mood today.
I’m sure that the excrement spewing from the left the last few days is inspiring a groundswell of this type of sentiment from actual humans in touch with reality.
We are watching ‘Evil’ expose itself on the national stage.
If memory serves, Ronald Reagan said something similar about the Democratic Party leaving him.
Thanks for linking to a well-written, cogent, and coherent article, Michelle.
I will vote for McCain/Palin because they are the right choice and are the party of real change.
As I read that article, it struck me that this thoughtful woman was not a liberal at odds with the Democrat party, but a conservative who had somehow been ensconsed in the wrong party all these years. Why is it that just because you may dislike the Republican party, that must mean you automatically have to belong to the Democrat party. If your heart is conservative, be conservative and the hell with either party if they don’t fit your needs.
Saw a great bumper sticker in Minnesota over the weekend:
“Having and abortion doesn’t make you un-pregnant, it makes you the mother of a dead baby.”
That’s the Democrats: “Supporting a woman’s right to kill her offspring since…”
For those that have any doubt the smears are coming from the Obama camp, this article in the American Thinker provides some insight:
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/08/obamas_bag_of_tricks.html
Obama trashed his primary opponent, Brent Hull, in the US Senate Race in Illinios when Hull’s sealed divorce records were “leaked” to the press.
Obama then went on to benefit from Jack Ryan dropping out of the general election wieh Ryan’s sealed divorce records were magically unsealed suring the race.
Obama then used threats against super delegates to run oppononets against them in their own primary elections if they supported Hillary Clinton.
And during this entire run of “coincidental serendipity” David Axelrod served as Obama’s campaign guru. Axelrod is a member of the MSM, having worked at the Chicago Tribune for 8 years before becoming Richard Daley’s “political consultant”.
And now Obama claims that conincidence has followed him once again, and he has nothing to do with the Palin smears? Think again.
On September 3rd, 2008 at 12:31 pm, lgm said:
lgm, this is tantamount to you admitting that the “trash” sticks to Obama. In saying this, you concede that Obama’s trash is true. You know that you can’t defend him, so your best hope is to make his opponents out to be worse. …and by the way, we don’t throw “trash” at Obama; he generates his own filth.
Thanks for backing yourself into yet another corner, lgm. Your arguments are pathetically shallow.
Amen.
lgm – just go away. Obama is a tragedy, and will destroy this country. It’s sad that you enjoy this, and it’s sad that you hate a free-thinking conservative woman like Sarah Palin.
You think this is going to sway us? No. It makes me angry. And it will make others angry.
And Obama will lose – whether in November, or in a failed, useless administration that conservatives will fight tooth-and-nail for the next four years.
Those who choose life, who put America before entitlement, and who believe in concrete right and wrongs *ALWAYS* win in the end.
That’s the same thing Ronald Reagan said when he became a Republican. Donkeys’ loss, our (and America’s) gain.
In a couple of respects, “Tolerance” is much like the notion of “Free Speech”:
1. It’s your ability to bear with what you don’t like that’s the true test of toleration, not your ability to agree with what you like.
2. Ordinarily, liberals have great difficulty wrapping their heads around #1 above.
As long as the Dems can keep the focus off of Obama, they will continue with this obscene behavior. Obama has a lot to hide, and hiding it behind some juvenile soap opera garbage is part of the strategy. By this time, even the dumbest person ought to see through this for what it is.
Go away lgm….
Really? You have proof that Governor Palin smoked dope and snorted cocaine and sold to support her habit?

The worst rumors about Palin are not as damning as the known facts about Obama:
- Long-time associations with unrepentant terrorist and anti-American preachers.
- Vocal support for infanticide
- Earmarks and kickbacks to radical organizations and the hospital his wife worked at.
- Sweetheart real estate deals with slumlords enriched by taxpayer largesse through their connections with Obama.
- A tax plan explicitly purposed to “punish the rich” even if it ends up costing the Federal government revenues.
- A soft spot for terror regimes like Iran.
Actually, I think marjiuana was legal at some point in Alaska and she admitted to smoking it. She also made a crack about Bill Clinton not inhaling. That was reported the day or the day after she was announced as VP candidate.
I wish, oh how I wish, the crowd tonight would turn to the media elites and start shouting “F*** YOU!”, then I want Palin to come out and say, “I’m here. I’m ready. The media doesn’t scare me. They inspire me even more to bust up their Washington elitism. We are America. They are out of touch just like the democrat party.”
Uh, who didn’t? I went to college.
This scene reminds me of why I’ll pull the lever for Mav/’Cuda in Nov…
Taggart/Obama: Break’s over, boys. Don’t just lay there gettin’ a suntan, ain’t gonna do you no good anyhow. Now take this shovel and put it to some good use.
[Bart grabs a shovel and advances on Taggart from behind]
Charlie/Undecided voter: Don’t do it, Bart.
Bart/fmfnavydoc: Uh-uh, baby, I have to.
Taggart/Obama: [to Lyle] Now send a wire to the main office and tell them that I said
[Bart whacks him]
Taggart/Obama: OW.
Lyle/Biden: Send wire, main office, tell them I said “ow,” gotcha.
Of course she never ADVOCATED drugs, even though she may have experimented.
The left is just really innately, intellectually dishonest..
They used to care when we noticed, now they are just openly proud of their idiocy.
Many, many life long Democrats are not for abortion. They are blue collar, patriotic, hard working people as seeing the Democrats representing the little guy.
But now they see Palin caring for her baby with the same care as she has cared for his town and state. They see the vicious attacks against her by the Democrats, and now realize they have been mislead. They don’t want to support Obama’s form of infanticide.
My mother is one of many Democrats who have switched to Sarah Palin. She realizes an attack on Palin, is an attack on her and everything she believes.
That was an excellent read. Folks, since you’re online I bet a lot of you have hometown newspapers that feature blogs as we do here in Houston. Are you noticing that much like the Obama campaign not having to dirty its hands while the media promotes his oppo research, that the editorials and features only mention what is being promoted on the blogs? We had three solid days of the Palin baby fiasco presented on the left blogs of the Chronicle that also allow the hosts to screen posts that respond negatively to the BS. Looks like a pre-cursor to the Fairness Doctrine.
You can count me in that group too. Although I took my time about it, I’ve seen the difference for a lot longer than I’ve been an “R”.
Worst still, I seen the dumbing down of the school age children (K-12) to the point of automatons. I thank God I (we, I mean) had the means to send our daughter to private schools for 12 yrs. At least she was spared most of the silliness.
Awesome Mister P!
It’s really true too.
What sane person would like to be the first to say “It would have been ok with me if my parents decided to erase me from history, by aborting me.”
Only a person will serious emotional & mental problems would thing or say that, yet for so many Democrats, it’s accepted ideology. No big deal..
I hope they have time to get that added it there!
The vile, disgusting acts on Gov. Palin have had a positive effect on this voter. I have voted in every election since 1972, yet have never joined a campaign until now. I just signed up for a McCain/Palin Victory Walk this coming saturday in my town. We will canvass neighborhoods and tell people why they should vote for McCain/Palin.
I also made a donation, something that I probably would not have done if McCain had picked any other running mate.
McCain/Palin’08
I would love to see the GOP grievance machine to talk its way out of Palin’s AIP connections. If y’all are truly offended by Jeremiah Wright, you have no business voting for Sarah Palin.
(If ya ain’t knowin’, the Alaskan Independence Party is a secessionist group whose founder said in 1991, “The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government… And I won’t be buried under their damn flag!” Sarah Palin allegedly attended its 1994 convention, is confirmed as attending its 2000 convention, and addressed its 2006 convention. Todd Palin was a member of the AIP from 1995 to 2002.)
Backup: 1, 2, 3, 4.
lgm left out his normal blather…”Yeah, but Bush….”
His priorities, and those of others who follow the “enlighted left” are as follows, (IMHO):
1) Democrat Party first, no matter the cost;
2) socialism, no matter the cost;
3) afford terrorist entities US Constitutional rights, no matter the cost;
4) second, third, and fourth chances for career criminals, no matter the cost;
5) free speech for liberal causes only…no one else has anything “constructive” to add to the discussion;
6) hypocracy ONLY applies to the Republican Party, since the Democrat Party believes in winning at any cost;
7) equality for (some) Jews, with many exceptions;
9) submission to all non-American cultures, including peace at any cost;
10) America first, unless it infringes on all of the above.
Sarah Palin will be a great start to the process of getting rid of the destroyers of American freedoms, traditions, and ideals. She has shown that she puts America First!!!
Dress? You mean, gasp…… she does not wear pantsuits? Oh the humanity. What a right wing slut she is.
Then, on Thursday, we will have O’Reilly giving Obama a free attack ad on prime time TV, right before McCain’s speech.
A passionate letter full of truths – and HUMOR:
Well, I didn’t. I went to college and got a degree.
I’ve never drank a beer before either.
But, that’s just me. I don’t want to sound like a goody-two-shoes.
Hey, That was pretty good!! I can’t wait to tell that to the wife…on second thought, she didn’t like that I sat there the other night reciting along with the movie. Uh, never mind. I liked it though….
Fellow posters: Despite all of the rancor, isn’t it a nice feeling to once again feel like you have the opportunity to vote FOR something, and not just vote to prevent something from happening.
That makes it a good day.
Or he could end up making Obama look like a complete fool um-ing and uh-ing all over the interview. You never quite know with O’Reilly.
That about sums up how I felt Friday afternoon. The dread left and I honestly felt good about my vote For something.
That may be the case, but it is still low class of O’Reilly to grant the interview right before McCain’s speech.
I concur.
It amazes me how many Libs have this attitude. I’m pretty sure it is because they feel it is the governments job to raise kids. After all, they feel all children are property of the state.
What a well-done article. As a Roman Catholic, I’m extremely frustrated by the church pushing the leftist agenda, regardless of the Democratic Pro-Abortion stance. They conveniently overlook not only abortion but those that champion it. I’d wager that Pelosi’s Biden’s and Kennedy’s priests still let them take Communion. The church has long ago given up a position of moral authority. By championing positions like welcoming illegals and believing in global warming, they fail to see the consequences of their actions. The road to hell…
I have no idea what any of you are talking about.
NO ONE, regardless of what you “think”, is voting FOR Sarah Palin.
Are there seriously people here who, prior to this VP pick, would NOT have voted FOR McCain, but who, NOW, for some unintelligible reason, WILL vote for McCain just so that the U.S. can have a conservative as President Pro Tempore of the Senate?????!!!!
Unless you are HOPING that John McCain DIES in office, A McCain/Palin victory will only ensure that Sarah Palin attains the most useless office in the entirety of the U.S. Government.
Come November, NO ONE will be voting FOR Sarah Palin!!
You will only be voting FOR McCain, on the basis that the least important political office in the Nation will be held by a conservative.
If you want to vote for John McCain, be my guest; but please try not to fool yourselves into thinking that the addition of Palin to the ticket somehow means that you will be voting for a conservative — you won’t.
Oh I am so voting for McCain/Palin. If only for the firestorm that the unhinged left has started. Folks like lgm are working themselves into a spastic lather over Sarah Palin, and I’m just the guy to do what ever I can to push them over the edge.
At first one wonders why the left is so adamant about Mrs. Palin gaining the Vice Presidency. It’s not because her energy policies are so much better thought out and realistic than Obama’s “inflate your tires” solution, it’s not that she actually has multiple examples of executive experience when Obama hasn’t even bothered to chair his own committee… it’s that she’s doing it without their consent!
Kathleen Parker said it best today:
They’re panicked that the American people will finally see the uselessness and hollowness of their position.
I read the article and I find it ironic that she notes pro-life activists within the democratic party, who just sit there and lick up anything obama says and willingly vote for him…it reminds me of unions who are supposed to be for the working peole in a labor dispute instead becoming nothing but shills for democrat leftists who have nothing but contempt for the working class…I’ve seen it.
Does anyone remember how the MSM were in a full of support of McCain during the primaries? They boosted him up over the rest so much that many of the Dems changed party just to vote for him where they could to pick OUR guy. Then they switched back for the General in Nov.
Now they are in a panic and wonder how could such a plan backfire so badly. We now have someone who also is a Maverick (Sara) but also one long time Mav. I haven’t agreed with Mac on most things but like was said last night he does speak his mind but will listen to the people if we let him know what WE think. National Sec. is so important now with energy being used to control our country and our lives we need a leader that has a spine. Obama knows that is “ABOVE HIS PAY GRADE”( no spine to make his own mind up).
Eyas, you should have just left it as:
I agree completely.
Oh! And who didnt in those days? We were all just kids. And the hilarity that ensued as we tried to sollict Yuppies to go in the back alleys with us! Ahhh, the memories…. Oh wait….. there seems to be some gaps in my memory…. now when was this?… (pssst, what were we just talking about??)
ouch PKAmmoTroop. Thats gonna leave a mark.
This is a question I have for mistressjustice who claims (probably rightly so) that the majority of black Americans are social conservatives. Aside from the unusual opportunity this time to vote for a black person, I don’t understand at all why the majority are Democrats. Ditto practicing Catholics.
Eyas, that’s a nice cranial-rectal inversion you have.
A good example of why the left has been doing everything they can to keep Civics from being taught in the classroom. Had Eyas studied civics she’d know that the President pro tempore of the Senate is the second-highest-ranking official of the United States Senate and the highest-ranking senator. The Vice President of the United States is the President of the Senate ex officio, and thus is the highest-ranking official of the Senate.
Nice try.
I certainly won’t be voting for the obamination nor bidentoad…I detest McCain’s stance on immigration and the fact he continues to have juan hernandez on his campaign committee but I don’t see any other choice but to vote for him and then hopefully with the right people in Congress we can control him. You won’t control the obamination even with less of the traitors in Congress..he’ll just do what he wants by executive order and will ignore congress and the people.
If you don’t want to vote for McCain that too is your choice…I just prefer to think long-term as in the next 20-30 years, and Palin offers the kind of long-term reach I can live with..we will deal with Johnny as we have had to deal with the dual stooges of Reid and Pelosi..sauce of the goose as they say.
Franklly I never trusted either Bushes in office. The best way to hold so-called conservative politicians feet to the fire is to have more of them in office putting pressure on those who want to bolt….That part is OUR responsibility
LGM is using the I’m Rubber and your Glue defense for O’bama. I’m sure it will really work. LOL
She wears camo…
And gets to break any tie votes.
