Sarah Palin galvanizes conservatives behind the McCain ticket.
She allows McCain to go after the disenfranchised Hillary voters.
She brings the experience issue to the forefront without even having to talk about it.
She brings the energy independence issue to the forefront…and then talks about more cogently than anyone else.
She puts the female vote firmly in the toss-up category.
She appeals to Reagan Democrats in numerous swing states.
She steals the “change” issue from the Dhimmicrats by doubling McCain’s maverick/outsider credentials.
She puts the VP debate on the map, thus putting Joe Bidet in the spotlight.
She exposes liberal media bias just by being a conservative woman.
She exposes liberals as the selfish, ideological hacks that they are who put personal gain and ideological leftism ahead of country.

Need I go on?

You see, dear demented Kevvie, the news blogs showed a Code Pinko hag who bragged that she got in using “media credentials.” Another swiped an alternate delegate’s credentials and waltzed on in.

So now you have to ask yourself. Whose side is the media on?

And do they have more in common with Al-Qaeda and Code Pinkos than they do with real Americans?

I dare you to prove me wrong.

- The lie that Palin was a Buchananite “Nazi sympathizer” according to Florida Rep. Robert Wexler.
- The lie that she cut funding for pregnant teens
- The lie that she was a member of the Alaska Independence Party
- And the mega-whoppet lie that Trig Palin — her special-needs baby — was really her daughter’s.

Compared to those vicious lies, Huckabee’s statement was just a little hyperbolic license. And I don’t like Huckabee anyway. As for the bridge, she changed her mind and ended up opposing an expensive, unnecessary government program. That’s the kind of lie or flip I wish more politicians would make.

And every single person in that white, white crowd stood up and cheered.

Guess who didn’t watch the convention. One example, who knew Cowboy Troy or Texas Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams were white?

The main point of my post was that Huckabee and Palin both LIED during their speeches. None of the comments posted after that have any bothered to dispute that fact (probably because it’s indisputable). What they HAVE chosen to do is continue to push the line that community organizers don’t do anything. I’m thrilled to see it. I like to see the GOP attack people for going out of their way to make things better for those around them, it shows their own hypocrisy (party of personal responsibility my ass). They’re right that community organizers don’t HAVE to be community organizers. Nobody can force someone to volunteer (that’d be called slavery), but the fact that community organizers do their work out of the goodness of their hearts is something that is generally praised, but the Republicans have decided that taking personal responsibility and bettering your surroundings is instead worthy of scorn.

They are also right that being a community organizer alone doesn’t qualify one to be president. Neither does finishing a journalism degree which is what Palin was doing during the time Obama was serving his community. The point is both of them have gone on to do more than that with their lives. Of course those too blinded by rabid partisanship can’t acknowledge that.

Lastly, just to be clear since I’ve been accused in #71 of being sexist, the only sexist ones here are the ones crying sexism where none exists thereby encouraging REAL sexism to thrive. I won’t vote for Palin because she’s such a right wing extremist that she makes Bush look moderate; because she is so dreadfully anti-gay that she would be at home in Fred Phelps church; because she has already been repeatedly caught in lies; because she is such a theocrat that she has actually said her job as Governor is to “implement God’s will;” because she supports destroying the environment to help line her pockets; and the list goes on. NONE of the reasons I won’t vote for her have anything at all to do with whether she has a penis or a vagina.

NOW you can say they’ve sunk me because I won’t be back to respond. It was only a chance following of a trackback that led to to this place anyways. I’ve long gotten over the need to engage in mindless partisan bickering. I know what I believe and I will vote to fulfill those beliefs. You know what you believe (which apparently includes the belief that gay people aren’t actually human beings), and you will vote to fulfill those beliefs. And fortunately in this nation, we both have the right to do that.

Watching McCain talking now: 2nd convention in a row where protestors have gotten in. If these people can’t keep their own convention secure, then how the bloody heck can we expect them to keep the country safe?

Personally, I love mahi-mahi…

So, Obama’s idea of improving people’s lives is getting them on welfare? That’s exactly the opposite of what I want a president to do.

A mayor on the other hand has to answer to her constituents every day. She has to make sure the roads are plowed, city services are functioning, and citizens are heard. It is an order of magnitude greater in responsibility than handing out petitions or whatever the hell a community organizer does.
