“Waking up the sleeping giant”
I am conservative woman, hear me roar:
The media has done more for John McCain in the last two days than he’s done for himself in the last year and a half,” [Tom] DeLay said. “Trashing her is waking up the sleeping giant, and the sleeping giant is Republican women.”
(Link)
A movement is born. From Reader D.:
I heard about a convention attendee wearing a shirt that simply stated “I am Sarah Palin”. Hearing this a light bulb went on. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the McCain camp rolled out an “I am Sarah Palin” ad campaign? It would simply be a series of commercials that show a woman describing herself, like “I am a mom of 2 children, I am a wife, I am a PTA volunteer, I am a team mom, I am a marketing executive, I am a Democrat, etc” then the tag line, the woman says “I am Sarah Palin.”
They could have a series of women of different ages and different races giving their story, all saying in the end, “I am Sarah Palin.”
I would love to see these ads, it would drive the lefty feminists CRAZY.
Someone’s on the same wavelength. Via Jim Geraghty:
Spoke to Hugh Hewitt on radio row. He’s getting deluged with phone calls from women listeners, all saying that they’re appalled by the attacks on Sarah Palin. One has already printed up a t-shirt that says, “I AM SARAH PALIN. HER STORY IS MY STORY. BACK OFF.”
Some enterprising printer ought to consider mass-producing that, I think…

Yeah, but I was waiting for her to say, “And, isn’t the publisher a major donor to Obama’s campaign?”
Damn. What a missed opportunity to see the editor pass out.
Take your false flag operation elsewhere, troll. You’re no friend of liberty or conservatives.
I happened to see the clip on Cavuto as well. If you has watched the Greta show Tuesday night, Laura and Cindy also knew of Gov Palin and had met with her way before the decision time. They were giddy.
There is three things that are important when selecting a Presidential ticket, character, character and character. I find Obama-Obiden sadly lacking on all three counts.
I’m beginning to feel used by this VP pick. It like the GOP made a horrible mistake, won’t admit it, and as a defense is in full blown victim mode. Everyday more and more evidence piles up that not even a cursory vetting was done. And while I share most of Palin’s politics (which don’t jive very well with the neocon party leadership), it really seems the enthusiasm is contained to the conservative base who before this, hated McCain, and are willing to overlook all of the problems with this pick. We’re not seeing PDS, we’re seeing utter bewilderment, and trying to cloak it with victimization or how we can ‘relate’ to having a hockey mom in the White House is NOT gonna cut it.
The sh*t is about to hit the fan.
I did.
Megyn raked him, trashed him and burned him…. she’s good thata way.

…he mentioned Sarah Palin as a running mate. OMG, it wasn’t just a 1 night stand.
1 night stand, I think you have your Palins mixed up.
That one was just too good to pass up.
Picking on little girls again, are we? Sad indeed.
I am a typical white male. I honor Sen. McCain, and decided I would support him because he is an honorable man, a claim his opponent can’t honestly make.
I want a woman like Sarah Palin. Always have; she has the qualities of my mother, sisters, and every woman I’ve ever loved.
Those qualities are such that I feel comfortable with Sarah Palin taking over the reins at any time. Naturally, I prefer to give McCain his eight years.
I guess it’s a case of the chicks coming home to roost.
31bravo,
do they do that? dang I have shopped there and tell others about them but if they are pulling stuff hmmm.
Do you have any examples of stuff they pulled?
No it wasn’t and you should have.
From today’s email from Rush:
Boom!
Yeah with the Clintons and Edwards!
The editor stated that this was a breaking news story and they had to get it out.
Okay, so instead of checking sources and lies, you decided to go ahead with the slanderous story. Thanks. Got it.
What a putz.
Love that post # 58 !! go check it out – irony of Keith Olbermann having to pretend to be ojective !!
Tom DeLay’s quote that Michelle has at top of this blogline refers to Republican women being the “sleeping giant” – I think there are a few of us Republican men that have been “called to arms” in the last 72 hours or so as well – Go get ‘em , Sarah !!
Funny, I was just on hotair, and watched the vidoe of what appears to be JSM taking a nice look 10 to be exact at our little Sarah’s booty.
You know, the more I think about it, why would the libs on this blog and constantly repeat the same arguments(check the threads)and tell us how horrible it was for McCain to pick Palin? I have come to the conclusion that they are only here to rain on our parade. They think by constantly saying negative things about her, that somehow we’re going to get all depressed, hovel in a corner and not vote. You are having the opposite effect on us, so keep it up! Once again, we all need to listen to aj:
Here’s Biden
Here’s Hill
There’s plenty more. Stop being lazy.
she has a nice butt, i would look to, and im a girl
would you like to back that up? hundreds of thousands of women like me are speaking out against this treatment because we’re pissed as hell, the GOP didn’t tell us to do it.
i’m so sick of this argument that she wasn’t properly vetted. it presupposes that he wouldn’t have chosen her if he had known her daughter was pregnant or he husband got a DUI two decades ago. what would that have said about mccain? and furthermore, who’s to say he didn’t know??? WE DON’T KNOW, JUST LIKE WE DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE VETTING PROCESS.
Now for some Chuck Norris like comments for Gov. Sara Palin:
1) The bogey man has a Sara Palin night light.
Sara Palin has more intergrity in her pinkey than Alan Colmes has in his body.
2) When the Army’s in trouble, the send in the Palinator.
3) Mooose tremble at the sound of Sara Palin’s name.
4) Sara Palin’s has body checked more hockey players than Chuck Norris has had his bones broken.
5) Hillary has a Sara Palin night light!
6) How do you spell equal rights? S-a-r-aa P-a-l-i-n
7) God created man, S&W made them equal and Sara Palin broke through the glass ceiling with the sound of a 30-06.
9) To err is human-to forget about going after momma bear is not Sara Palin’s style.
10) Sara Palin more refined than a bottle of scotch on a cold Alaska morning.
GSP
McCain-Palin 2008!
Even though our politics rarely see eye to eye, your clarity on this is refreshing.
Same here. I’d rather look at her butt than Biden’s old, saggy, shriveled up one.
According to most reports, he knew about both things, and asked her anyway. I have to admit that my opinion of McCain went up as a result.
Maybe so, but there’s no need to sob. Further, this thread is about the veep selection–not your precious victimhood. I’m sure you’ve been used before and will be used again. So buck up, Bucky.
And you’re just too lazy to cite it? Or is it that you are dissembling?
I’m calling you out as a liar. After all, evidence continues to pile up that you’re not being honest with us.
navy,
chances are they are rejects from their own kind and get more attention here.
P.S. I found a link to MPR so that will
suffice until pbs starts coverage
thanks anyway gang
There. Fixed it.

Thanks. It helps to remember that you are not dealing with individuals who value their individuality, but one collectivist brain that views mankind as a slave to the machinations of the all-powerful state.
They are hive-mind.
Any yet you are voting for the candidate who belongs to the last party that attempted to form their own country. Maybe you should try to hide your own parties failures before you lie about someone elses.
BAL—–
lets not do this r u a women thing today. But did u see the video
Yo, Bansharia, wheres that platter?
That’s a rather naive thing to say when the rain is yellow and the enemy is collecting their bodily waste in baggies. Wake up and smell the wee.
Why aren’t the polls reflecting this awakening?
Sooo…it is cool to check out the hawt VP, eh?
aj whoops can’t type with my mouth full, help yourself you want grape type feeding? lawdy!!
Oh the hubris…
the video was sooooo funny, cause it does look like he is checkin the booty out, but like I said it’s a biggin and you can’t help but to look. I would too cause its natural to look. I think? I hope im not getting into trouble here.
lol bansharia, is that an option?
You’re what Rush Limbaugh refers to as a
“seminar caller”. You pretend to be conservative, then trash whatever the libs’ conservative target of the moment might be. That makes you first and foremost a liar, which makes everything else you say irrelevant.
off to wed. church, see u in an hour
Pssst…if you stop wearing panties, you won’t have to worry about them bunching up so bad.

Hey Rob, is the hive-mind too all important to separate my quote out from another’s? Or would that value the individual too much? I don’t have any issues with the first quote per se, mind you, but would like to be attributed as having only written the second line, not the first.
I don’t take talking points from a hive-mind, after all, and these things matter to anti-collectivists.
There is a slight reaction time to be considered. According to a couple of polls, Obama’s convention bounce is already starting to fade.
Funny, I think someone commented yesterday or the day before that Palin was a neocon-whatever that is.
Back in high school I said something to a teacher I saw eyeing a couple of teenage girls as they passed by. I’ll never forget his response. “Your eyes are an involuntary muscle. You can’t control where they go.”
I think he had a point.
He’s upset because he hit a moth on his bike this morning on the way to protest something.
Is this supposed to be some kind of slight? I guess it went way over my head.
Are all these clowns going to around for the open thread?
If so may we set up a dunk tank or something???

Ditto. Perhaps he should be named, Ahh a Liar! instead.
aj,
are you married?
do you own guns?
At the end of 2005, a close friend called to say that he begun writing speeches and talking points for a certain gubernatorial candidate.
“Remind me,” I asked. “Who is Sarah Palin?”
I was dismayed at my friend’s choice of political entree. Why was he wasting his time on a relative nobody, trying to beat an incumbent governor (and former three term senator) in the Republican primary? It was utter folly. “Wait until the big money starts coming in for Murkowski,” I said. “Wait until the party machinery goes to work on Palin. They will eat her for lunch.”
Murkowski, for his part, expressed a similar view. “If I decide to,” he said, “I will run and I will win. It’s that simple.”
The folly, of course, turned out to be my own (and Murkowski’s), as Palin slaughtered the incumbent in the primary–posting a 30 point margin of victory–and went on to win the general (over a former Democratic governor) without seeming to break a sweat. She then quickly fulfilled an implicit campaign promise by slapping down ExxonMobil, BP, and ConocoPhillips in negotiations over a proposed Alaska natural gas pipeline, even though they, too, by all accounts, were well prepared to dine on her tender little frame. Not bad for a lightweight.
I AM SARAH PALIN.
Because the pollsters are probably polling and re-polling till they get the results they want. /sarc.
Based on the desperate smear campaign coming from the left, you can bet they have their “intewebs marching orders” and they will be out in force to attmpt “grand theft joy”.
They are fueling up on Frosted Flakes as we speak.
Now, that was funny! Rob, take note.
I’m outta here for a while. Kickball!!!!! Yes, there is actually an adult league!
Bansharia, no and duh. lol
Ahem, attempt.
I knew this was gonna happen…the dems are mortally locked in a Chinese Finger Puzzle…the more they spit on Sarah Palin the more they destroy Barack Obama…Utterly Glorious!

PBoilermaker, you said recent comments implying they were said after the primary. All primary candidates in both parties said things about the ultimate winner that were less than flattering.
Mercy – Yes, I did see the video. I think we are talking about the same video.

Hive-mind sometimes forgets that not all human beings are plugged into it, and therefore at times makes declarations that border on incoherence to those not reduced to atoms within its collective.
It usually tries to deflect attention away from this incoherence by practicing repetition (a practice first attributed to Goebbels and Hitler – both socialists).
Motor on, hive-mind.
I saw that! Megyn really made that US Weekly guy look bad and ripped on their “facts” (or lack thereof).
IMO, I think personal attacks on US Weekly publisher Jann Wenner are now fair game since he is working to influence the electorate with his trashy mag. Here’s a taste of Wenner’s “family values”… The divorced Dad and his male “fashion-designer” partner have 3 children together (he also has 3 from his previous marriage). No wonder he hates strong conservative women with traditional family values…he doesn’t even like women. Gee, ya think those kids might be messed up? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jann_Wenner)

When we were stationed at Travis AFB, CA my wife swore she would never vote again due to the courts throwing out Prop 187. With the announcement of Sarah Palin as the VP for the grumpy old man my wife was energized to actually go out yesterday and registered to vote and will finally accompany me to the polls on November 4th. As long as Sarah Palin is the VP nominee I have decided to take one for the team check out a chemical warfare suit and vote for the grumpy old man instead of for none of the above. Needless to say adding this extraordinary woman to the ticket has made a huge difference in our household.
The Democrats and their MSM allies have done a fine job of energizing the women of our local community. I guess they never put too much stock in the old saying, “If mama ain’t happy nobody is happy.” Most of the women I know are really pissed off at the attacks on the Governor and especially her 17 year old daughter not that the 4 Electoral College votes of Idaho are going to anyone with a D behind their name to begin with.
Comments will be light for me over the next couple of weeks. Fiscal year closeout is coming requiring lots of extra hours at the base through 30 September. Our community also has the annual Air Force Appreciation Day this weekend with a two day air show next weekend called “Gunfighter Skies 2009.” Hopefully the Thunderbirds won’t be demonstrating how to crash land an F-16 while almost taking out the control tower this time around. I’ll keep enjoying all your comments from work where I can’t comment any more. Stay safe folks!
McCain/Palin 08!
Sarah Palin is what America can be again.
are you talking about chili sauce?
A Conservative VP always was our light at the end of the tunnel, we dare not waste the opportunity.
two t-shirts.
The above,
and one for the single guys.
I Want A Sarah Palin
Oops. Wrong button.
Who are you again, St. Louis Blue? What’s your problem?
Awesome T-Shirt! Just don’t wear that shirt in like, San Freakcisco or NYC without a umbrella to shield you from all the urine & bleach they will throw at you..
In a campaign season that started so early, that is recent.
One thing to consider…how many Republican candidates emphatically said John McCain wasn’t ready to lead during the “doesn’t count” primaries?
Pretty damning to have your own VP on recent record as saying (and reaffirming, when questioned) that you “aren’t ready to lead”. Tell me, does this stuff even register when you are an Obama worshiper, or does the constant genuflection make you forget?
Go eat your Frosted Flakes.
That’s a great slogan for the Palin/Jindal 2012 campaign.
Actually it’s a pretty good bumper sticker for McCain/Palin 08.
Could someone please post the link of Megyn Kelly’s interview with Us Weakly?
aj
hm just had a bowl of chilli made with
tomatos from the garden, we can do the grapes later if you would prefer a bowl
of that to hold you over.
I have green grapes only and no intention to run to cyber store to get red
Which will have the highest rating…
Thursday Night Football at 7pm est or O’dopey on O’Reilly 8pm est???

We may politely disagree on things, Mookie, but you are definitely good to go.
Don’t mind St. Louis.
Re: Palin/Jindal 2012
How much you wanna bet me that Palin’s (by then) 4 year old granddaughter will be able to hold her own in a debate with Biden, even when he’s not drunk?
As (probably) the only ‘Skins fan here, that’s a tough one.
I’d prefer the ‘Skins.
Probably in this order:
Thursday Night Football
Obama on O’Reilly
Rebulican National Convention
Dan,
Granddaughter? you know something?
Ha! tos who says you can’t not ever agree with someone once every blue moon…
good thing for the split screen.
Hot Air has it.
okay catch you later.
aj the chili is on the stove, I left a bowl of shredded cheddar for you in the fridge and some diced onions
T- 3 hours
That’s exactly what the left and MSM wants you to feel. It’s their only defense. You’d be feeling the same way whether it was Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee or anyone other than Sarah Palin who was nominated. The attack was going to happen, no matter who the nominee was.
I was going to tell you that I’m a seminar poster’s worst nightmare. But I’ll hold back until you master the keyboard.
Thanks PB. I appreciate it.
I canceled my subscription to US magazine. Yes, I had one. No, I’m not exactly proud of that.
I have the feeling they’ve had a lot of people do the same today. Usually, you have to sit through fifteen minutes of them begging you not to cancel. My phone call took all of three minutes.
restless – never did see an answer to your question re binky
binky = plug = pacifier
BTW, nice website, but didn’t see any way to post
Consider it mastered. Did I run over your dog or something?
No, no. That’s what Ahm A Liar! wants you to believe.
Ummmm, were you driving on the sidewalk again?
@bansharia,
I have heard of it happening, actually I *think* the story was on this blog a while back. I can’t find any stories about it after a cursory Google but I seem to remember it had something to do with the 2004 election. But yes, I am certain they have done so, just can’t find the specific story.
PS- Still waiting for anyone who can help me figure out how to track back to stories on here from my blog. http://www.americanarmed.blogspot.com
It’s hard to steer when you have an iced coffee in one hand and a cell phone in the other.
Please pray for all of us.
Hey sorry about that I thought he was joking…
and thanks Bansharia, I’m covered, ( cave man voice) have meat will BBQ use fire ugh. lol
dang, Angels are in a rain delay
Go Sarah Go!!!!
You won’t see this on liberal blogs:
Please pray for Sarah Palin and her family tonight. Thanks.
Tonight she will define grace under fire. After this week Putin and Akmadinejad will be a piece of cake for her in January.
Go Sarah!
Please don’t tell me you are in Angels fan. If so, I might be in the Twilight Zone as it would be the 2nd thing we agreed on today.
No, I don’t know which it will be. I just think it would be as much fun to watch a 4 year old girl embarrass biden, as it is when some of my female gamer friends shoot guys to ribbons in Rainbow 6 Vegas. Especially after the guy asks them, “Don’t you have a diaper to change?” hahaha
Then bam, babam, bam!! She lays three of them out in the first 10 seconds of the game, & suddenly when we go back to the game lobby, it’s either quiet, or they want to talk about football..
A modest proposal: Let’s all get along!
The results of the 2008 election are already known. That magnificent bastard, Rove leaked to me a video of the outcome.
For those without a scorecard, Obama’s on the left and McCain’s on the right.
Thanks greydude
I missed Biden…I decided to mow my lawn instead, a better use of my time, especially since Biden is such a non-player at this time, at least until Gov Palin skewers him in the debate.
