This is a hyperbolic assertion based upon flimsy evidence.
LOL Ortho
I think this is a wonderful pick.
She is very exciting and will bring conservatives weary about McCain back home :-)
woohoo Marie..how fabulous is this eh!!!!!!!!!
All the right people are happy about it; all the wrong people are livid.
I like her Marie. She's an outdoors person, hunting and fishing and conservtive too what's not to like.
I’m also thrilled and excited with Sarah.
See my blog today for the latest attack from the despicable disgusting left on Sarah.
The libs are rinning scared, evidenced by the far reaching attacks on Palin. There is even an attack questioning her family values because she chose to return to Alaska for the borth of her last child instead of immediatly going to a Texas hospital after her water broke.
Trying to actually claim she has no concern for the unborn because she threatened the life of her unborn. '
Libs are sacared and they are looking for anything to try and turn Conservatives aways from this fantastic VP choice.
McCain/Palin means victory in 2008!
They look about as comfortable together as Dick Cheney and Ellen DeGeneres.
Here is Palin's response to a candidate questionnaire for the Alaska 2006 gubernatorial race:
Are you offended by the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?
SP: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance
Problem: the original Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 (when both "Founding Fathers" and "Framers" were very dead) and it didn't contain the words "under God" until 1954 when added by congress under Eisenhower.
Do we have a female version of George Bush???
I'm sure being against abortion even in cases of incest and rape will push Hillary supporters to favor the McSame ticket.
If McSame had picked Romney or Pawlenty, I would have said Obama's chances were slim at best. The left does not have a network entirely devoted to its ideology like the right has with Fox News and therefore does not have a daily and nightly mouthpiece.
But picking Palin has just made it Obama's race to lose.

Ken is exactly right. The liberals are indeed running scared. The more they attack Palin the more evident it becomes. :)
Gayle,
No need for us to attack; you're doing it to yourselves.
Apart from the fact that her 18 month gubernatorial experience is virtually hollow (the entire state of Alaska has the population of Baltimore, MD) and before that she was mayor of Mayberry...errr...Wasilla with a whopping 7,000 people, that she has no clue what a vice-president does (by her own admission)...then this whopper....
BREAKING NEWS: Palin's 17 yr old UNWED daughter is 5 months pregnant!
Family values? Huh? She should have been teaching her daughter how to make bearskin rugs rather than rolling around on one naked with her boyfriend.
This is going to go over FABULOUSLY with the radical Christian right!
Great choice!
All you had to do was pick Romney and it was a near lock...
Angel,
Isnt this fantastic?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Word,
True they are scared. She just came in and shook up the race in an awesome way :-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jenn,
And a lifetime member of the NRA! That should make you happy :-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DD,
Oh yes DD they are attacking her for her water breaking and flying back to Alaska to have her baby, ya know what? With my first baby my water broke and I didnt have him for 21 hours and 40 minutes latter!! If that's all they got they are doomed! lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ken,
They are running scared. Any woman that has had a baby knows once your water breaks it can take a long long time to give birth, she has 5 kids I think she knew what she was doing lol
MCcain/Falin '08 :-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Federalist,
Oh wow! So she made a mistake about the pledge of alligiance! Whoopi.
They still opened every session of Congress back then with a prayer which holds tru till this day.
You are right it's Obama's race to lose alright and he just lost it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gayle,
I cant wait for Sarah and Joe Biden to have at it :-)
And now this...!!! What is today, Christmas???
ST. PAUL, Minnesota (CNN) — A senior adviser to the McCain campaign confirmed Monday that Todd Palin, husband to Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, was arrested for driving while intoxicated in 1984.
"Yes, 24 years ago he had a DWI," senior McCain adviser Steve Schmidt told reporters in St. Paul.
Schmidt was asked if he was worried about the news, and replied, “I was not.”
The story was first reported by David Brody, a CNN contributor and Christian Broadcasting Network News Senior National Correspondent.
What next, Marie???
Someone put a plug in this so they don't sink before their own convention! LOL
Federalist,
Being the Governor of the state of Alaska she has made more executive decisions in one day than Joe Byden OR Barrack Obama did ALL YEAR!!
Marie,
Debating where to eat Moose Jerky or where to play Gin Rummy are not executive decisions.
She has ZERO international contact and ZERO national security exposure. Being a U.S. Senator from Alaska shadows the governor like their 6 months of darkness. And I don't even like Ted Stevens...
I'll make my promise now: WHEN Obama/Biden, you will not see me on hear gloating. You have my word.
** see me or hear me gloating
Federalist,
You are a nutball!
I wont glaot when it's MCcain/Palin either :-)
Uh, Marie, I think you may have to amend your point about opposing the Bridge to Nowhere. Facts now indicate she was for it before she was against it.
I'm not sure if you were in this group Marie, but during primary season many of you said you'd rather lose proudly with a conservative than win with McCain. Well, now it looks like you'll get all your wishes: you get your rightwing candidate on the ticket, and you get to honorably lose in November too. Congratulations.
Lmao Phillip and Fed,
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=5700022&page=1
Read it and weep
Oops
REad This And Weep
The mud-slinging and dirty tricks have begun.
Liberals act like children because they are children. They want the government to be their idealized parents. This development is only meaningful to an adult. It does show extreme courage an McCain's part, but we already knew he had that.
The Palin's are real people, with real joys and real sorrows. They are adults. Don't know if our TV watching country will accept them. Hope so.
Saint,
Welcome to my blog :-)
Oh I expect everykind of mudslinging to start.
The Liberals as Word said are Livid!
Marie,
The 10 million was brought in prior to this story breaking.
Let's count the money at the end of this week.
This is a HUGE blow to the over 60 crowd that McSame had locked up by a 50 point margin.
If she has to take care of a Down's Syndrome child and obviously cannot teach her daughter responsible sexual behavior, how could she possibly be second in charge to the most powerful country on the face of the planet?
Better question: did she keep this from McSame or worse, did he know and picked her anyway?
Sarah keeps on giving:
Palin hires attorney for Troopergate investigation
JUNEAU — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP vice presidential candidate, has hired a private practice attorney to defend her and members of her staff in the investigation into the firing of her public safety commissioner.
By STEVE QUINN
The Associated Press
JUNEAU — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP vice presidential candidate, has hired a private practice attorney to defend her and members of her staff in the investigation into the firing of her public safety commissioner.
The state Legislature is investigating whether Palin fired public safety commissioner Walt Monegan after he refused to fire a state trooper who had divorced Palin's sister.
Anchorage attorney Thomas V. Van Flein has requested a copy of all witness statements and documentary evidence from the Legislature's investigator, Stephen Branchflower.
Sen. Hollis French, an Anchorage Democrat, responded on behalf of Branchflower, saying he instructed Branchflower not to comply with the request.
In July, a legislative oversight committee approved $100,000 for an investigation into whether Palin abused her power in firing Monegan.
SHE MAY GO FROM "LOVED" TO "HATED" IN LESS THAN 5 DAYS. WOW!
KEEP IT UP SARAH, WE LOVE YOU!
the lib-atards are rioting as I write
Marie, I agree. Sarah Palin is a perfect choice. She is the perfect Conservative counter balance to McCain's Moderate positions. Together they make a wonderful champion and slayer of Democrats.
Fed,
Get over it dude, You can try as you may to dig up dirt on Palin but it isnrt washing!
Besides Obama said today she should be off limits!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saint Welcome to my blog :-)
The Libby's are so scared of a woman lol, she must be scarey to them lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fed,
Give it up dude, Sarah is going to bring Consevatives back home and Hillary suuporters already are in Love with her :-)
you are going to have one hell of a time lol
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Files,
Welcom to my blog :-)
Oh yes we cant expect all the Libtards to come out in full force and every lunatic as well, we are ready! :-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mark,
Yes they are a perfect match :-)
You are obviously mistaken faux guy. The experience that Palin has is executive experience. Alaska is the largest state in the Union by far. There is more land area in the surrounding community of Juneau than the whole state of Delaware. The people in Alaska take care of themselves which is more than can be said for the government dependency that Obama preaches and for the people that find themselves agreeing with him.
Obama has nothing more than what is called side line bomb throwing experience. There's no comparison to executive experience as we have just seen during the hurricane in Louisiana. When a real executive that is in charge of their state and his National Guard took matters into his own hands things turned out very well without relying the Federal government to bail him out.
Governor Katrina can't make that claim though, she was responsible for her state but failed to call her National Guard out in time and was afraid to use her power and authority to manage the catastrophe that was unfolding before her eyes.
Now go count some beans for some productive citizens and stop your confounded whining about everything. sheesh!!!
Thanks for the welcome Marie.
Smear & attack is what they do. This stuff won't stop. The rats are already going after the boyfriend, finding his My Space or Face Page site and spreading that around.
We all KNOW that Obama is saying "stop it" in public, but behind the scenes he's loving it.
You're right J_G: skinning polar bears and shooting wolves from a helicopter must be executive decision-making at its best.
You squirm when you're uncomfortable and you're also intelligent enough to know that the daughter's pregnancy and "troopergate" are not helping your chances.
You're like a little girl whistling in the dark trying to muster courage...as you keep repeating, "There are no monsters under the bed, no monsters under the bed..."
Now, get back to calling political opponents "fat" and "bitch": just like Suzy Homemaker Sarah did in her campaign in Alaska.
Hi Marie... I find it funny that the liberals say she has zero experience when considering who they are running for president! LOL! This is just too lame of an arguement even for liberals. They've got to know it's going to backfire on them. It's hysterical!
I hope your Dad has finally hooked you up to the internet so you can quit using his computer. At least that's what I assume you are doing. :)
I am so sick of Obama and his passive aggressive tactics. He pulled the same thing with the Clintons. He gets his surrogates and liberal blog friends to spread the nastiest vile lies and then he steps up to “denounce” the tactics so he can look like a hero.
The young woman, Bristol Palin, has the RIGHT to CHOOSE to keep her baby thanks to reproductive laws like Roe v. Wade. She also has the right to make other choices.
I am a pro-choice advocate because I believe women are smart enough to make their own reproductive DECISIONS. Like Bristol Palin and her family.
It is there personal family business and it can happen in anyones family.
Wake up America, Obama the actor is giving you Drama!
Well lets' see about Obama.
Admitted drug user.
Supporter of Infanticide.
Obama is a colleague and political legatee of 1960's American born terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. Ayers and Dohrn supported and raised money for Obama and launched Obama's political career from the living room of his house.
Colleague and 20 year follower of racist black separatist Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
State Senator that missed or voted present in over hundred votes, he even pressed the wrong button while voting, and that bodes well if he is control of the nuclear arsenal eh?
Obama as the chair for the Senate sub committee on NATO never held a single hearing when Afghanistan is mainly a NATO operation.
Obama believes regular people that believe in the constitution bitterly cling to the religion and firearms because life is not a liberal utopia.
Governor Palin is Chief executive of the largest state in the Union and supplier of 20 percent of the oil for the United States.
Daughter got pregnant at the age of 17.
Husband arrested for DUI before they were married.
Stopped the Ted Stevens’ (longest serving Republican in the US Senate) "bridge to nowhere"
Palin defeated sitting Governor and longtime political insider Frank Murkowski in primary by a landslide for the office of Governor. Palin defeated the democrat Tony Knowles by an even larger margin in the General election.
Lifetime supporter of 2nd amendment rights by being a member of NRA.
The biggest difference is Palin is not the top of the ticket and Obama is. Joe Biden is really the person that liberals are relying on because they know Obama is too inexperienced to be President. Having said that Joe Biden is going to stick his foot right smack dab in the middle of his mouth, it's only a matter of time.
You can say all the stupid things you want about Sarah Palin but she makes Obama look totally bankrupt by comparison.
I could govern Yellowstone National Park if only animals lived there. Her state is the largest GEOGRAPHICAL REGION because of all of the islands, NOT BECAUSE OF POPULATION.
THE TOTAL POPULATION IS THE SAME AS BALTIMORE, MD.
She has not met any leaders of the G-8, no leaders of the Middle East, didn't even vote for the Fuhrer. But instead took 27 million dollars in handouts of earmarks (McSame hates earmarks), was for the Bridge before she was against (learned the flip-flop and twist move from McSame), is currently being investigated (mandatory for Republicans), attended fundraisers for Ted Stevens, contradicts McSame's belief about global warming, supports McSame's opposition for funding for teen mothers (laughable, I mean, seriously), like Bush believes that we are in Iraq to do "God's work", beat out a tired, re-tread Democrat and a corrupt Republican to be elected governor of the 47th least populated state in the U.S.
She was mayor of a town which its total number of habitants could be very comfortably seated in any high school gymnasium.
McSame was running on the platform of experience and national security but then bet on Palin getting the Hillary voter. BIG strike out! She is anti-abortion in incest and rape and wants to overturn Roe v. Wade. and calls Hillary a "whiner". LOL!
You make me laugh J_G.
As far as Obama, scratch the William Ayers thing. Rumsfeld and Cheney both enjoyed the company of Saddam Hussein on several occasions, shaking his hand and smiling all the way to the bank. You have no room there, sorry and Obama was 8 when Ayers blew himself and his derelict friends up.
Obama said nothing about utopia. He stated a simple truth: when people in rural America get bitter over the economy or an issue that hits them personally, they do cling to guns and religion because those two things NEVER fail! All you have ever done is prove that right! You talk about guns and religion on your blog! LOL...thanks for the assist on that one!
Present over 100 votes out of 4,000 votes. Not even McSame can claim that ratio (thought I would finish the statistic for you since you pulled that one from your Boy Toys Rush and Sean.
Bottom line J_G: you support her only because she's your only hope.
I love it when you get all flustered and repeat those talking points from the same, tired websites you visit: Rush, Hannity, et al.
Do you or Marie EVER have one, single thought of your own????
Your readers deserve more!
Fed,
My God!
Ok so her husband got a DUI in 1984?
Lord,
And her daughter is pregnant and marrying the father?
Oh yes those are real high crimes and misdomeanors lol
You Looney Lefty's are really scared arent you? lmao!!

Hi Victor welcome to my blog :-)
I will visit all my new friends once I get mt computer hooked up.

Gayle, and Jenn,
My dad ordered some wi fi thing today! I dont know much about it but whatever works lol
Thank's you guy's :-)
I should be back up and running soon :-)
Faux guy, The more that you attack Palin the more we believe Palin was the right chioce and most people that use their brains see that.
Keep squawking, it makes us all laugh. You're a good source of entertainment for people that use their gift of common sense.
You taught me well Newtie;-)

Don't forget Obama is on the Senate banking committee...oops, no he isn't. Why would he say he is?
The reason we are so occupied with this story is that it is so completely nonsensical of a move. You see, living under fascist rule the last 8 years, we are conditioned to see Joseph Goebbels...errr...Karl Rove make calculated political, propagandistic moves that strive to keep the regime in power.
Sarah Palin is so weak of a choice that we are scratching our heads and saying, "When are they going to announce the REAL VP pick?"
It's almost as if they are letting Obama win without even competing.
Obama has gained 2 points in the poll since McSame's pick. Her anti-abortion stance in the face of incest and rape are sure to turn millions of Hillary supporters away. The pregnant daughter is going to brush the over 60 crowd away.
And she's being investigated? Can't she just make an Alaskan law that says you can't investigate moose hunters?
This was an abysmal choice and it shows McSame's lack of judgment and lack of integrity. He must have wanted to move the spotlight off of his lack of substance and lack of details for any platform he might have. That's his problem: he never mentions specifics. And now he just stares at Sarah's back side like a senile old man at Hooters.
Funny that you mention "common sense" as a gift: I see you're still waiting for a handout.
Fun-filled facts about Failin' Palin:
-In her earlier career as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, (LOL) Palin hired a lobbyist to help the tiny town secure at least 14 earmarks, worth $27 million between 2000-2003. McCain has touted Palin as a force in his long battle against earmarks.(McSame would be very upset...wait...he's not???)
-Her husband, Todd, twice registered as a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a fierce states' rights group that wants to turn all federal lands in Alaska back to the state. Sarah Palin herself never registered as a member of the party, according to state officials, though party members said she attended a 1994 convention with her husband.
-The state legislature is investigating whether she had Alaska's public safety commissioner fired after he refused to dismiss a state trooper who had divorced Palin's sister. Lawyer Thomas Van Flein said he is representing Palin both personally and in her official capacity as governor. He can bill the state up to $95,000.
-Palin opposed the U.S. government's listing of a variety of animals as endangered, including the polar bear and the beluga whale, both of which inhabit areas also rich in oil and natural gas.
-Palin previously acknowledged she smoked marijuana but said in a 2006 interview she no longer used the drug. "I can't claim a Bill Clinton and say that I never inhaled," she said. (guess you can't say she didn't do drugs J_G...bummer, huh?)
- Palin's management style has come under scrutiny. When taking over as mayor of Wasilla, she asked top officials to submit resignation letters, resulting in several departures, including that of the police chief. The chief claimed it was because he supported her opponent in the mayor's race. (I actually like this, Machiavellian in nature)
-Under her leadership this year, Alaska asked for almost $300 per person in requests for pet projects from Stevens, one of McCain's top adversaries. That's more than any other state received, per person, from Congress. (Real Maverick!)
-Ted Stevens also campaigned for Palin in 2006 and appeared in a political advertisement for her. (Once again, a testament to what Bush would call, "maverickness")
-The Alaska governor campaigned in 2006 on a build-the-bridge platform, telling Ketchikan residents she felt their pain when politicians called them "nowhere." They’re still feeling pain today in Ketchikan, over Palin’s subsequent decision to use the bridge funds for other projects - and over the timing of her announcement, which they say came in a pre-dawn press release that seemed aimed at national news deadlines. (awww..hey Alaska, wise up! Failin' Palin has bigger polar bears to skin than your silly bridge!)
Honestly, any one of the ladies in the choir at my childhood church are more qualified than Failin' Palin. And I really wanted a close race....
This just in: Tucker Bounds, McThird's campaign spokesman, has just informed the American public that neither General David Petraeus nor the Pentagon are in command of the National Guard troops that are deployed to Iraq; this includes their weaponry, body armor, equipment and time of deployment.
Sarah Failin' Palin is now a full 5 star commander of Armed Forces!
LOL This is freakin' hilarious!
Here's the CNN exchange:
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/02/mccain-cancel-cnn/
She repeatedly pressed him on Palin’s foreign policy experience and qualifications, asking him to name one decision that she made as commander-in-chief of the Alaskan National Guard. Bounds was unable to do so.
Tucker Bounds should have simply said he didn't know specific decisions she's made as governor (traditionally, governors have been in sole control of local NG units when it comes to dealing with emergencies; thanks to Blanco and Nagin's ineptitude, the knee-jerk reaction was to federalize control of the Guards in 2006; but that's now since been repealed).
Palin is the commander of the Alaskan NG. I didn't notice Bounds misspeak regarding equipping the Guard (in Iraq).
As far as Campbell Brown's question in regards to foreign policy experience,
Medved:
Yes, this undermines McCain’s future use of the experience issue, but that’s almost certainly a good thing, too. The experience issue has never worked well in presidential elections: Gerald Ford tried it against a one-term Governor of Georgia (the worthless Jimmy Carter) and lost; Carter tried it against Reagan (no foreign policy experience as Governor of California!) and got wiped out; George H.W. Bush tried to make it stick against Bill Clinton and the result was the lowest percentage of the vote for a Republican candidate since Wiliam Howard Taft. The line McCain’s been using “He’s Not Ready to Lead” is still viable – and should emphasize a discussion of Obama’s policies, not his job history—his radicalism, not his resume. Meanwhile, we should invite comparisons of Governor Palin’s experience with Obama’s: won’t the PTA connect more with middle class voters than “community organizer,” and property tax-cutting small town mayor count more than slippery State Senator who voted “present” a disquieting proportion of the time. In any event, both tickets now balance experience with youthful energy – but McCain is balancing it the right way, with the experience at the top.
Sowell:
No governor ever had foreign policy experience before becoming president-- not Ronald Reagan, not Franklin D. Roosevelt, nor any other governor.
It is hard to know how many people could possibly have had foreign policy experience before reaching the White House besides a Secretary of State or a Secretary of Defense.
