Palin pales

It's Atwater/Rove Politics 101. Go after your opponent's positives and turn them into negatives. So far, so good. While we're on the subject, more on how God made her governor.

Oh, and why not also read Garrison Keillor's take.

When you check the actuarial tables on a 72-year-old guy who's had three bouts with cancer, you guess you may be looking at the first woman president, a hustling Evangelical with ethics issues and a chip on her shoulder who, not counting Canada, has set foot outside the country once -- a trip to Germany, Iraq and Kuwait in 2007 to visit Alaskans in the armed service. And who listed a refueling stop in Ireland as a fourth country visited. She's like the Current Occupant but with big hair. If you want inexperience, there were better choices.

Keillor is so mean. Didn't she also go to Mexico once?

Palin's downward trajectory comes as no surprise to me. Felt from Day One that over time she'd hang herself. It's a giant relief to see it actually happening, though.

Not only does McCain have a trophy wife, he has a trophy running mate, neither with any substance. I wish we would get off of Palin and get on...stay on McCain. Check out this article the the Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote on McCain's terrible opinions on the economy: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/19/wall-street-journal-editorial-board-skewers-mccain/

Nah...nah...nah...as Rev. Wright said, the really bold guy in Palin's life is that white trash hockey-playing redneck who was BOLD enough to pork her daughter and kill her chances at the VP-sity. Now that is BOLD, look at big ole non-testifying Todd Palin! He's a big Clint Eastwood looking 1st Dude who no doubt knows how to break knees and elbows. Who in their right mind would want him after their ass?

Now I know Bristol is fine fine stuff....but still.....not on my best day would I have been BOLD enough to push her panties down. And I have to wonder why...if'n Sarah knows this preacher who can cast out demons, cause women to be threatened with stoning and run them out of town....Why didn't she get her preacher friend to croak the horny hockey-puck and bury his redneck ass out of town?

Why not get the preacher to have God cast a spell on every voter that they might not see the dysfunctional Palin family or the good that is Obama and instead run to the polls to vote for Sarah and her Grandpa? Get the preacher to make TrooperGate go away and make us forget all the lies Palin-McCain have told? Has the preacher used up all his power running off fortune tellers in Kenya?

If I may be so BOLD as to say....this God stuff is freaky. Able to make Sarah governor and run off African women on one hand and unable to keep 2 teenagers from FK'ing on the other. It's like God's power has a short or something.....powerful at times......dead as Elvis at other times. I know God is real old and all...maybe he needs a checkup? Aw oh.....kfoiioasdo; owo;o; n sooiitoo asdfi;o;asdfj!

Sorry....suddenly had to type in tongues....God must be feeling real frisky today, he sure fixed the stock market! oh oh..here it comes again....asfopwerlwrnlfosdu; wjopwrl;j sfoj. Damn it!

There is a school of thought that says the more we focus on Palin, the better for McCain because that means he's not under the light.

I'm not sure that is true in this case:
- The Palin pick demonstrates his lack of thinking things through.
- It shows he's not a straight-taking maverick. He's just another old white guy who'll do anything to win an election.
- It reminds people that she's one heartbeat away from being President.

I am coming to the conclusion that Palin will be the final nail in McCain's coffin. And it was driven there by the Religious Right, ironically enough.

Not only did they refuse to let him pick his own VP, they produced one who's wacko, who thinks the world is 6000 years old, that abstinence education works, that we're doing God's work in Iraq, and that Alaska ought to be allowed to secede from the Union.

I submit to you that McCain could have not made a worse pick for his ticket.

I wonder if he's simply throwing the election? He's pretty old, you know. Hard to believe he's really got the old gung-ho you need to be prez, and hard to believe he doesn't know it.

Please make a $10.00 donation to Planned Parent Hood in honor of Sara Palin and have them send an acknowledgment to the McCain for Present, 1235 S. Clark Street, 1st Floor, Arlington, VA 22202.

I did and Oh Ialready feel so much better.

Sarah Palin is heartless no caring Bitch!

So say you, Republicans for Obama?

"I am coming to the conclusion that Palin will be the final nail in McCain's coffin. And it was driven there by the Religious Right, ironically enough."

You know too much, Van Helsing.

Michelle obama thinks that she is cute and you shouldn't vote for her because she was cute. I didn't know that she was running for some office.

obama wears lace on his underwear. Michelle calls all of the shots in his family. he is a wimp. wimps don't qualify to be president. wimps should learn to bake cookies and give teas. do you think that Michelle could teach him how to be a man?

I think strangelove is channeling chasv.

Would you like Obama better if Obama called his wife a cunt in public, Strangelove?
Is that your family values? And what is with calling yourself strangelove, anyway? Something kinky going on in your pathetic little brain? Imagining lacy underwear on a man - what's up with that?
Just curious.

This from someone who calls himself 'KIZZY'? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I still have mine. How about you?

Kizzy is my real nickname, and I am female, as you know.
You still have your WHAT?

Well, considering your name and some of the others on this blog I wouldn't be making fun of names. I used to make fun of names until I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb.

DBI, Your back,,,1st time I have ever seen anyone type in tongues!! LOL

Kizzy, by the way, since you are a lady it really isn't ladylike to use the 'C' word. You can make your point without drawing upon the gutter for vocabulary.

You missed the point, strangelove, McCain called the lovely beer heiress he married a cunt in public.
