What’s really pathetic is that Sarah Palin has more balls than all the men in the Democratic party put together. It’s become the castrati party.

I’m more creeped out by the whole concept: these kids are going to visit (or call) their grandparents with the express purpose of getting them to vote differently? Even assuming that they are normal loving grandchildren who just get caught up in their own lives…pledging to call their grandparents through the election season? Visiting them just because I want their votes?

Two of my grandparents are pretty hard core libs. And the subject of politics and who each of us is voting for has come up the last few times I visited (I’m lucky, they live much closer than FL). But I would never *dream* of giving them the hard sell *against* Obama, though that seems to be more in line with their own ideals, much less try to convince them (if they were anti-Obama) to support him.

I’m just…disturbed at using a cute name to do a very uncute thing.

Oh, and sorry everyone for the double post before.

One of the “talking points” from The Great Schlepp:

Obama has expressed a willingness to talk to any nation without precondistions but with appropriate prepreations. This is the kind of smart, but strong, diplomacy that led Israel to a peace treaty with its strongest enemy, Egypt -unbroken for 30 years – and led the United States to convince Libya to end its pursuit of nuclear weapons.

I’m not a student of liberal revisionist history, but didn’t both instances follow wars?

What’s more, what kind of douchebag needs “talking points” to talk to his grandparents? I don’t know about yours, but my grandparents could smell a bull dropping shit a county away and would see right through any “talking points”.

News coverage is becoming scary to say the least…..or the non-coverage. If you or anyone can follow up on this story, here is the timeline re: Auchi to Rezko to Obama money and corruption trail. No one will follow up or expose this data. Hope you can forward it to your bloggers and news sources of interest. We rely on the bloggers.

Have you heard of the Great Schlep?

A pro-Obama group is tasking the grandchildren of Jewish Floridians with visiting their grandparents (or at least calling them) and trying to convince this Israel-supporting key demographic that Obama is really a good guy on the subject.

Yet no one from the Obama campaign can be bothered to show up at a conference that deals, in part, with Israel’s very survival. Fascinating.

I’d include links regarding the Schlep, but comments don’t quite seem to be working for me.

I’m not a McCain supporter, but I can’t help but think an effective ad for McCain would be for him to speak into the camera and say something like, “My fellow Americans, I know in good times, we can take a chance on someone new and unproven. But tough times lie ahead of us. We are facing unprecedented economic and strategic challenges. It’s not the time to roll the dice and hope for the best. It’s the time for real leadership. Proven leadership.”
