Sarah tears into Obama
She’s got the fire in the belly and the follow-through.
This is how you do it:
Palin Rips Obama Over ACORN in Maine
By Juliet Eilperin
BANGOR, Me. — Speaking before a crowd of a few thousand supporters in an airport hangar, GOP vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin continued to question Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama’s patriotism and commitment to fair elections.Palin largely stuck to her stump speech during her appearance here in the conservative-leaning Second District of Maine, whose single electoral vote the McCain campaign is hoping to secure. But she also attacked Obama for his ties to ACORN with new intensity, saying, “In this election, it’s a choice between a candidate who won’t disavow a group committing voter fraud, and a leader who won’t tolerate voter fraud.”
The Alaska governor — who said that, when it comes to the GOP ticket, “We believe that America is not the problem, America is the solution” — said Obama has shown no desire for victory despite the fact that he spoke so frequently about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“It sure would be nice if, just once, Barack Obama said he wants America to win,” she said, as the crowd cheered.
“We are always proud to be Americans, and we don’t apologize for being Americans,” Palin added later.
Oh, yes. She’s “otherizing” again.
RAAAACIST!

of course the other possibility is the poll was right, and there was so much democRAT cheating going on that it made it close!
Uhhh….
It showed Bush winning, at least. And was well within the MOE for the actual results. You found literally the only polling day in October that showed Gore with a lead (as opposed to Obama who has had a large and pretty stable, if not growing, lead for weeks now) as some sort of proof that all these polls today must be wrong?
I don’t know whether its more merciful to allow you to live in blissful ignorance for a few weeks more, with the knowledge that you will be all the more crushed on Nov. 4 or to have you start to accept reality now so that while your period of anguish will start sooner, at least it won’t overtake you all at once like a tsunami.
Hear! Hear! The ball’s in your court B Hussein Obama!
America, don’t let Oprah choose your President for you!
You have a HARD sense of humor Dexter Alarius , hard.
Thanks, I needed that

You asked me about troopergate, Soap, don’t forget that.
And what is wrong with polls? Its “Kool Aid” to recognize that Obama is winning right now, by a lot, by every standard and measurement out there?
Look at the polls, especially her numbers. This strategy is not working. But hey, keep beating the dead horse if you want to lose the race.
chapoutier: If Obama wins I pledge to have him impeach as soon as possiable. I pledge to treat the idiot just like your side did GW bush. He must be removed before he bankrupts the country which is economic plan can not avoid doing.
you don’t get it chap, it doesn’t matter that much to me who wins or who loses…I know Who is the power behind the throne, shall we say. His purposes will be done, and He ultimately controls who wins and who loses.
I know you dems are desperate for a savior…and don’t worry, the way things are going soon he’ll raise his wounded head.
I know Who wins in the end.
Yes alot of people believed the liberal lies about her.
He is leading the dead voter count as well and, no, I didn’t ask you about it before you were bringing it up on several threads – sorry.
Now, about Acorn’s voter registration issues. What say you? Are you gunna deny that it is a problem? How about your bratha’s $800k support and his lack of condemnation?
Obama’s lead is artificial – the result of extraneous forces, i.e., the economy going south – and not the result of anything Obama did, said or advocates. It will just as easily pass. President McCain and VP Palin are golden, and the next few days will reveal it!
You are welcome to petition Congress to do so, or hell round up some signatures, run for Congress yourself and submit the articles yourself. Pretty sure you don’t have to be a naturalized citizen for that.
lets see Obama abandons Israel…and Iran just happens to be the primary foe of Israel right about now (unlike any time in history that I know of). Ezekial says that Israel will be invaded by Iran and Russia, among others…looks like things are going according to plan…..
The Illuminati?
New World Order?
Ayers and Obama served on the board for Annenberg’s Woods Foundation from 2000-02, while Annenberg was still alive. That’s how you know it wasn’t “radical” to “pal around with terrorists”: because the terrorist, Obama, and other Republicans was chosen by a Republican group.
oh and chap, if Obama wins, hope you don’t live on the east coast…expect an EMP bomb…good luck coping with no power…for a long, long time.
a little present from the man Obama wants to talk to, Ahmadinajad…
JESUS!!
oops sorry, I know that Name to liberals is like a cross to vampire!!
We can hope, yes we can. Just maybe I can get some of the payback I have waited for so long now.
a republican group…in CHICAGO??? come on….
Sure, polls are correct and fair. As I pointed out yesterday that alleged 14 point lead poll presented (fabricated) by CBS/NYTs that Obama has is made up of this:
38% Democrats
30% Republicans
31% Independents
That’s fair. Right.
Bidin’ time, no doubt.
Wolf + sheep’s clothing…you know the rest.
If you believed the polls, wouldn’t Gore have been president in 2000? Lawd, you didn’t even believe it when he lost (and lost & lost & lost through every damn recount).
I don’t think they’re going to like that. They’ll point out how childish and disrespectful it is without ever understanding that it’s a precedent they themselves set.
Oh, and don’t forget that if someone does a paper mache of Obama looking like a chimp for their English project, it will be racism!
I do recall Kerry being ahead too, even the day of the election — exit polls were already calling it for Kerry early in the day.
How things change when people actually vote. Big difference between the polls and the booth.
That is because there are more registered Dems than Republicans. So, yes, entirely fair. If they polled blacks at 20%, when they only make up 10% of the population that would be stupid. You may think 8% is too high,(actually I think it is closer to 6%) but it is within the realm of reason.
Obama isn’t leading anything, unless you call his dumba$$ sheeple following him to the land of Oz leading something.
no, sorry, Odopey is T.O.A.S.T.
It’s Killin em and
I Love it!!!

Chap,
#106 pp 2 please.
Just heard Gov. Palin on a local radio talk show here in the northwest, Larslarson. It is so refreshing and enjoyable to hear her talk, the honesty, integrity and love for her country can’t help but raise one’s hope for the future. That’s the part that scares the hell out of the left. She is positive about America, where the dems are not happy unless they can talk about misery.
Sarah is wonderful, damn, I wish she was on top of the ticket.
Go!!! Sarah
This is how you do what, exactly? Lose an election? Insult the intelligence of the American voter? No, she’s not a racist. Just a liar and a hypocrite.
But she does have quite the acid-tongue, doesn’t she? Rumor has it she’s really pretty, too. Mark my word, she’ll have a long and distinguished career at Fox News someday.
Well, could we at least photoshop some sort of simian defecating on Obama’s head? No? Bueller?

chapoutier said:
Really, what is wrong with the polls? Especially those exit polls on the day of election, 2004? You know, the ones that said Kerry won?
wonder who wrote that?? couldn’t have been an obama partisan could it now??
the way you libs hate her, she’s having a powerful impact…you fear her…
oh yeah I forgot…
I heard Castro thinks He was a revolutionary Comrade too!!
power to the people…
can you dig it??
isn’t that something Ayers would say??
I think that they have some serious issues. I don’t know whether it was official policy, I doubt that. But clearly people, intentionally or not, were being incentivized to just get as many registrations filled out as possible. And there was little done to either monitor and correct this behavior. ACORN should be investigated and if this was systemic, their exempt status should be revoked.
As for Obama’s campaign payments of $800K to ACORN, I simply do not know enough to make a judgment on whether it was for legit expenses or not. But what the hell, look into it. Lighting and staging, however, is not exactly cheap, but I have no idea how many events this is for or any of the details.
There is enough dots there at least to warrant some scrutiny, whether or not they are really connected.
chapoutier said:
There are more registered Dems than Republicans, true. In fact, there are more registered Dems than there are Dems, thanks to ACORN.
But bare registration numbers mean nothing. Registered Dems always outnumber registered Republicans, and yet Republicans often when the national elections. Hmmmm…
The point is, even in 2006, which was a bad year for Republicans (in terms of morale and turn out), the Dems did not turn out 8% more than Republicans. And Republicans in 2008 are certainly not as depressed as they were in 2006.
So again, obviously oversampling Dems = Dem predicted victory. Gee, what could possibly be wrong about those poll numbers?! pfft.
You mean the early exit polls, right? The ones that do not actually get a true cross sample of voters? As I recall the final exits were pretty much accurate. And in many cases the polling was so close that exits could call a win for Kerry and be within the MOE.
Speaking of polls………
Ann Coulter on the polls from time past
Trollman,
Fair point with respect to likely vs. registered. Did the poll you cite say which it was?
chapoutier said:
I’m not sure what you are asking. The difference in turnout in 2006 between the Dems and Reps was pretty small, something like 2-4%.
In any case, given the disdain many have towards Obama, and how much Reps love Palin, I find it very, very hard to believe that Dems will have more than a 4% advantage in turnout, and almost certainly less (unless you count the ACORN votes).
Before the economic crisis hit, I believed McCain would win relatively easily. After the disaster, it all went to Obama. But now that things have settled a bit, and especially with the Joe the plumber bit (I think it has legs), the election is going to be close.
Wasn’t Hillary winning in the polls up until the a few weeks before the nomination? Obama squeaked by Hillary and not by much.
I distrust the polls if only because most people do not put much consideration into the sampling and how the polls were conducted. Some of them might be skewed intentionally to show a favorable outcome. Others might be well intentioned, yet still poorly executed. Also, people might just make something up when they’re asked the questions.
Sure, Obama is ahead on most polls. He’s not the guy I want in the oval office, so it concerns me a little, I suppose. What is irritating, however, is how the MSM will act as though the election is already done despite the fact that we may have more undecided voters in this election than any other. It becomes clear how much objectivity is lost by many journalists who would have you believe that these polls are an undeniable oracle to the future.
How will the polls affect the populace? I don’t know. Maybe some will stay home thinking their vote doesn’t matter. Maybe some will be more motivated if their candidate is the underdog by the polls. Maybe the Obama supporters will become more lax. There are too many variables yet up until Nov. 4 and I doubt this will be a landslide for whomever wins. (God save us from another fiasco like 2000.)
Whatever the case, we all know that the polls only give you a perspective based on a very small subset of America. Nothing is certain.
Chap,
Thanks, that was stand up.
Been missing Michelle’s Acorn watch? Wow, this is a real problem. As for the $800k, well, that is and will be further exposed.
How about the money your brotha gave to a friend to build a park in the South side of Chicago that did not get built?
How about what he did to the Senator who’s seat he refused to give back and, then, had her eligibility to run against him thrown out (along with all of the others who wanted to run against him). Know how he did that? He had his staff check petitions against registration rolls and called their petitions illegal and won. Obama ran unopposed and said it was because of “unity”. No, it was because he never intended for there to be a vote or have an opponent and, he was successful. Now we look at the voter registration of Acorn – who Obama supports – and I wonder why it is okay. He used the faulty registration to remove his opponents from the senate race but for his run for the POTUS, faulty registration is okay with him. I say your man is too crooked and I wonder why a man of your intelligence would support him.
Off to the vets office. Sorry, Soap.
The bottom line is that SaraCUDA rocks. She’s as close as a woman could get to what the original feminists had in mind.
That scares the pantsuits off the feminazis! (I rarely link anything to Hitler but do them due to the 50 million dead babies left in their wake)
The current crop of so-called feminists are man-hating, woman-hating, self-hating, child-hating maniacs.
They have become the epitomy of what they claimed to hate in men.
While Sarah is fresh, stong, honest, life-loving, man-loving, woman-loving, self-loving and child-loving.
Sarah puts the feminine back in feminist.
Well, except for the latest gallop tracking of likely voters where he leads by only 3 and has lost 2 points.
Hey Chap. Your boy sock puppet better be winning by 15 points come election day based on past presidential election polls or he will get rolled. You also better hope the press and all the ACORN cheaters get it into overdrive to make that happen.
My feeling is that Americans will decide voting for a communist is not such a good idea when the communist Left in Congress got our (and the world’s) economy to the state it’s in today. When McCain wins we can start to concentrate on bringing the Congressional crooks and their Wall Street and third party hit men to trial.
Kind of like how you “fear” Obama, no?
The issue isn’t whether “libs” “fear” her, it’s whether voting Americans trust her. If the polls are any indication, the majority of us do not. A person who was found guilty of abuse of power — by a bipartisan committee in an investigation that began before she entered the presidential race — has absolutely no credibility making any accusations of wrongdoing. If you believe this resonates beyond the GOP’s ever-shrinking base, as our economy crumbles around us, you kid yourself.
Now enjoy this freakshow while it lasts. I know I am.
nice try. it was a partisan hit job, led by someone who was for Obama, right?
have you seen this on drudge??
GALLUP SHOCK: 49 OBAMA, 47 MCCAIN WITH LIKELY VOTERS
enjoy it while you can…
oh yeah huggy…if obama loses, I’m really gonna enjoy the weeping and gnashing of teeth on the left…because power is all that matters to people like you.
oh yeah and the DOW was up big today…conicidence??
If Obama were serious about distancing himself from ACORN, he’d issue a directive to his campaign requiring all ACORN associates to LEAVE HIS CAMPAIGN immediately.
Won’t happen, of course. The folks pulling Obama’s strings are pulling ACORN’s, too.

Typical Palin people:

The exit polls in 2004 had Kerry ahead and Kerry didn’t have a Bradley factor.
In my book, a true independent doesn’t answer political polls or participate in focus groups. As much as I like Frank Luntz, I think many in his focus groups are dull.
That is the problem. They aren’t “unscripted interviews” you dope. They are laced with biased editing, agenda driven questions and hostile interviewers.
Joy #134 and #140, right on!!
right4life said (#78):
If it isn’t on Fox it isn’t true.
Stuff on Kos is more likely to be true than stuff here or on townhall. One case: remember the Muslim terrorists in western China during the olympics? MM reported it, taking at their word Chinese officials. I posted that we should wait for confirmation. Sure enough, last week I read that the whole attack thing was bogus.
Happy hour in the Village, lgm?
You must be drunk.
BTW, great post. The best way to make a strong case for a stupid statement is to cite one incorrect example. Keep up the good work.
Ummm. Bush lost the popular vote, chapoutier. That fact is not disputed by anyone. I guess all but one of the October 2000 polls were wrong.
I think that says something about polls.
Obama will soon fade into obscurity like Kerry.
Oh, LGM, that’s so funny! You should be a comedian.
Dude! This would have been a brilliant point, except it’s soooo dammmnnn wronggg!
Gallup shows Obama up by 2 points, with a 5 point margin of error.
lgm got a free history lesson yesterday, looks like you get a free one today:
In 1976 Carter beat Gerald Ford 50% to 48% but the polls showed Jimmy ahead by 15 points
In 1980 Reagan beat Carter 51% to 41% but the polls showed carter ahead by 3 points.
In 1984 Reagan beat what’s his name… Walter Mondale 59% to 40% winning the all time a$$whooping award, but the polls had Mondale within 4%
In 1988 George H.W.Bush beat Dukakis 53.4% to 45.6% but the polls had Dukakis withing 2 points
In 1992 Bill Clinton beat Bush 43% to 38% but the polls had Clinton up by 12 to 15 points – only about 10 points off.
in 1996 Bill Clinton beat Bob Dole 49% to 40% but the polls had clinton leading by 22 points
In 2000 the vote was dead even no matter what your conspiracy theory addled brain comes up with, but regardless, the polls had Gore up by over 6
To quote Ann Coulter in 2004 either pollsters got a whole lot better starting in 2004, or Democrats stole more votes in that election than we even realized.
However with the left proudly announcing that they were “Freeping” (hacking)the polling data I’m going to guess that McCain is actually up by about 11 points but since the left has so polluted and corrupted the system we won’t know until the last shrill hysterical fit is thrown, the last carton of camels and the last pint of MD2020 is handed out on election day.
Follow through?
I’d wish Gov Palin would answer some follow-ups. Heck, answer any questions. I don’t know her. And interviews, converstions and an exchange of ideas would really be helpful.
I am not learning anything about her from bashing her opponents. She was vetted by the McCain campaign, but she has yet to be vetted by the American people.
Yes, fraud in voting is wrong. Has, Sen Obama been asked about his ties to ACORN? Yes. And, he responded to this question in the debate last night. Yes, Sen Obama could have been more forthcoming and added that fraud should not be tolerated. This is a new question and Sen Obama should address it.
After Sen Obama addresses this new question, Gov Palin will not acknowledge that he has, because she has not acknowledged that he addressed the first question. Gov Palin’s next new question will be, “Sen Obama has not asked for prosecutions. Why not? Has he got friends that might go to jail? Who is he protecting?”
Good greif, this says more about Gov Palin’s kick the can game plan, and yet maybe this is what she wants me to know about her. She will not acknowledge and accept answers, but just keep on asking questions. Kicking the can down the road.
Speaking of kicking the can game plan and winning the war in Iraq, we have already achieved the goals set forth at the beginning of that conflict. The can was kicked further down the road with new jusitifications with each new day.
Here’s a tidbit.
There’s even a little bonus interview in there for you.
Really? I would like to see some numbers on that. You are the math guy. How about an objective study of, say, a week’s reports. Maybe you are right, but “more likely” means nothing without a few stats. Additionally, the ChiComs are your guys, not ours. Obama seems to admire them too.
PKAmmoTroop,
A lot of the examples you cite are ones where the favorite won by more than expected or the underdog lost by less than expected.
Whoop-de-doo.
I have every expectation that the race will tighten. Obama probably not win by 8 percentage points.
However, according to Gallup, since 1936 only one candidate has come from as far behind as late in the game as McCain is now to actually WIN (not just make it closer). That was Reagan v. Carter.
One in 18 elections.
Now maybe you think that McCain is the second coming of Reagan and Obama is as weak a candidate as Carter, but I don’t.
And this will be my last point on polls, because to an extent, it is worthless to quibble over them. All of you little Drudge clones that keep bringing up Gallup’s two point lead for Obama:
a) That is still a lead;
b) LVI, which is what was cited, is only one of three models that Gallup releases (and actually its least credible and cited). The other models (RV and LVII) show the gap much larger. And the LVI has consistently shown the race at about a 2-4 point gap, so its not like Obama crashed in that poll overnight;
c) There are something like 6 or 7 daily trackers and they show Obama with an average of between 6-7 point lead;
d) In trying to make headlines, Drudge REALLY cherry picks. Last week he was plastering the results of one day of Zogby polling to try to show the race was a dead heat. That same poll has since shown Obama increasing his lead to 6 points. Why is Drudge abandoning Zogby, which was his gold standard last week?
e) Of course, none of the national polls ultimately matter much and right now Obama is in a much more enviable electoral college situation. With the states that he already pretty much has sewn up, Obama basically has to win one of 8 or so battleground states, of which he is leading in about six. McCain has to run the table.
Ok. That’s all. I promise not another peep about polls until after the election.

Sorry, but I need more than a two minute twenty seven second tidbit where Gov Palin speaks for less than thirty seconds. I want a meal and I still do not know her.
If that is enough for you to make her the VP, then so be it. It is not enough for me.
Who are her associates? Who does she trust for advice? And why? Has she ever traveled south of the border? As a reformer, what would she like to cut at the Federal level? At the State level in Alaska she cut spending for special needs children. I know that. How does she feel about lobbyist? How would she address this issue? What programs, if any, would she like to expand? And why?
There is a political tradition that after the presidential debates the VP nominee generally talks to the press and supports and expands the presidential nominee’s position on what each has just said. Not only would that give me greater insight into the top of the ticket, but the VP themselves.
Other traditions are the Sunday morning programs, editorial boards, week day morning talk shows, et cetera. Yes, these are not requirements, but they are tools used to allow the public to get to know her. Heck, I’d like to see her on Hot Air.
All the above would help me know Gov Palin. Would it help you know Gov Palin better?
i don’t need to know gov palin better, i’ve been married to someone just like her for 36 years, and i was raised by someone just like her for 56 years. she will be there when the going gets tough, as she has been with her husband and family for over 20 years. she is america.
This statement is disingenuous, and you know it. There are plenty more interviews of her out there.
Please answer the following questions for me. I need to know all these things about Joe Biden before I would ever vote for his ticket.
Who are Joe Biden’s associates?
Who does Joe Biden trust for advice? And why?
Has Joe Biden ever traveled south of the border?
What would Joe Biden like to cut at the Federal level?
How does Joe Biden feel about lobbyist?
How would Joe Biden address this issue?
What programs, if any, would Joe Biden like to expand? And why?
Amtrak conductors.
He trusts good, old-fashioned people who keep him in touch with his roots, like Pam Beasley and Toby Flenderson.
Yes, but he doesn’t like to talk about it. Something involving Tijuana hookers and a mule…
Actually, more of a question of “who.” And the correct term is “shiv.” You don’t last in Cell Block S of “The Hill” without making, and taking out, some enemies.
Depend$ on the i$$ue they are pu$hing.
What issue?
Medicare. To cover hair plugs.

I agree that Sen Biden should address those questions. The difference is that when asked he no doubt would answer them. (Most likely he would flub a few lines. The man likes to talk and loves the sound of his own voice.)
I am unfamiliar with the ‘plenty more interviews’ out there of Gov Palin. You gave a link to one and it gave me little. As you said, a ‘tidbit.’ I saw the Gibson and Couric conversations. I missed the one Gov Palin did on the food channel.
I suppose it is easy to answer a question with a question. I don’t give a flying fig about a Sen Biden. I am being asked to pull the lever for Sen McCain and I want to be comfortable in doing so. Part of that deal is knowing Gov Palin, for obvious reasons.
Trust but verify. I am looking for verification and until I get it I will have to vote for Rep Barr.
For me it is not about knocking the other guy. Any chuckle bunny can tell me why not to vote for the other guy. I want to know why I should vote for you (Gov Palin).
Does any of this stuff matter about Obama, or are we just supposed to believe the smooth talking liar with no record of having done anything except vote “present” and run for president?
