McCain chooses Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for V.P.

[phreakwars]

I'm not saying the Dems came up with this but they are latching onto this weak dig at Palin, because they don't have anything of substance on her.

 

Actually, no they haven't... this has all been INTERNET TALK not something published by ANY DEM LEAD news/spin machine.

 

EDIT: Another point here... if her daughter is now pregnant by 5 months, then she got pregnant while she had that alleged case of mono... Hmm, so looks like being BED RIDDEN gave her some time to be RIDDEN IN BED... hehe... just saying..

 

I smell a miscarriage coming up in a few weeks.

People are clambering for an Obama / Palin debate. And he has to validate his credentials to a Vice Presidential nominee. Thats gotta be a first. Rove tells Combs (on Hanity and Combs) " the best thing the Dem's can do is leave her alone". They don't know what to do!

Here's an article about the Pelin/Obama comparison. My question is, why can't the left remember that it's McCain not Pelin that is running for president. They only bring up Obama's inexperience everytime this comes up...

Sarah Palin vs. Barack Obama

By Gerard Baker

 

Democrats, between s******s of derision and snorts of disgust, contend that Sarah Palin, John McCain's vice-presidential pick is ridiculously unqualified to be president.

 

It's a reasonable objection on its face except for this small objection: it surely needs to be weighed against the Democrats' claim that their own candidate for president is self-evidently ready to assume the role of most powerful person on the planet.

 

At first blush, here's what we know about the relative experience of the two candidates. Both are in their mid-forties and have held statewide elective office for less than four years. Both have admitted to taking illegal drugs in their youth.

 

 

So much for the similarities. How about the differences?

 

Political experience

 

Obama: Worked his way to the top by cultivating, pandering to and stroking the most powerful interest groups in the all-pervasive Chicago political machine, ensuring his views were aligned with the power brokers there.

 

Palin: Worked her way to the top by challenging, attacking and actively undermining the Republican party establishment in her native Alaska. She ran against incumbent Republicans as a candidate willing and able to clean the Augean Stables of her state's government.

 

Political Biography

 

Obama: A classic, if unusually talented, greasy-pole climber. Held a succession of jobs that constitute the standard route to the top in his party's internal politics: "community organizer", law professor, state senator.

 

Palin:A woman with a wide range of interests in a well-variegated life. Held a succession of jobs - sports journalist, commercial fisherwoman, state oil and gas commissioner, before entering local politics. A resume that suggests something other than burning political ambition from the cradle but rather the sort of experience that enables her to understand the concerns of most Americans..

 

 

Political history

 

Obama: Elected to statewide office only after a disastrous first run for a congressional seat and after his Republican opponent was exposed in a sexual scandal. Won seat eventually in contest against a candidate who didn't even live in the state.

 

 

Palin: Elected to statewide office by challenging a long-serving Republican incumbent governor despite intense opposition from the party.

 

Appeal

 

 

Obama: A very attractive speaker whose celebrity has been compared to that of Britney Spears and who sends thrills up Chris Matthews' leg

 

Palin: A very attractive woman, much better-looking than Britney Spears who speaks rather well too. She sends thrills up the leg of Rush Limbaugh (and me).

 

 

Executive experience

 

Obama: Makes executive decisions every day that affect the lives of his campaign staff and a vast crowd of traveling journalists

 

Palin:Makes executive decisions every day that affect the lives of 500,000 people in her state, and that impact crucial issues of national economic interest such as the supply and cost of energy to the United States.

 

Religious influences

 

Obama: Regards people who "cling" to religion and guns as "bitter" . Spent 20 years being mentored and led spiritually by a man who proclaimed "God damn America" from his pulpit. Mysteriously, this mentor completely disappeared from public sight about four months ago.

 

Palin: Head of her high school Fellowship of Christian Athletes and for many years a member of the Assemblies of God congregation whose preachers have never been known to accuse the United States of deliberately spreading the AIDS virus. They remain in full public sight and can be seen every Sunday in churches across Alaska. A proud gun owner who has been known to cling only to the carcasses of dead caribou felled by her own aim.

 

 

Record of bipartisan achievement

 

Obama: Speaks movingly of the bipartisanship needed to end the destructive politics of "Red America" and "Blue America", but votes in the Senate as a down-the-line Democrat, with one of the most liberal voting records in congress.

 

 

Palin: Ridiculed by liberals such as John Kerry as a crazed, barely human, Dick Cheney-type conservative but worked wit Democrats in the state legislature to secure landmark anti-corruption legislation.

 

Former state Rep. Ethan Berkowitz - a Democrat - said. "Gov. Palin has made her name fighting corruption within her own party, and I was honored when she stepped across party lines and asked me to co-author her ethics white paper."

 

 

On Human Life

 

Obama: Devoutly pro-choice. Voted against a bill in the Illinois state senate that would have required doctors to save the lives of babies who survived abortion procedures. The implication of this position is that babies born prematurely during abortions would be left alone, unnourished and unmedicated, until they died.

 

Palin: Devoutly pro-life. Exercised the choice proclaimed by liberals to bring to full term a baby that had been diagnosed in utero with Down Syndrome.

 

Now it's true there are other crucial differences. Sen Obama has appeared on Meet The Press every other week for the last four years. He has been the subject of hundreds of adoring articles in papers and newsweeklies and TV shows and has written two Emmy-award winning books.

 

Gov Palin has never appeared on Meet the Press, never been on the cover of Newsweek. She presumably feels that, as a mother of five children married to a snowmobile champion, who also happens to be the first woman and the youngest person ever to be elected governor of her state, she has not really done enough yet to merit an autobiography.

 

Then again, I'm willing to bet that if she had authored The Grapes of Wrath, sung like Edith Piaf and composed La Traviata , she still wouldn't have won an Emmy.

 

Fortunately, it will be up to the American people and not their self-appointed leaders in Hollywood and New York to determine who really has the better experience to be president.

Ah.. who cares.. $100 says we start seeing photos of Palins daughter like this

 

[attach=full]2034[/attach]

 

You know, all "family valued" and repenting for the camera and acting like she doesn't know anybody is snapping photos, and what have ya.. gonna see some damage control real soon I would think. I'm surprised Shirley Phelps hasn't opened up HER yap about this yet.

I'll take that $100 cash money bet, you're wrong. James Dobbson and the far left have already commented that it's a non-issue as far as the Pelins are handleing it as conservatives should. She's keeping the baby and getting married to the father.

[phreakwars]

It's not James Dobson or the far left who would be the ones to impress.

I meant the far right. They have already checked in...

 

 

James Dobson...

 

Dobson said the Palins should be commended for living out their "pro-life and pro-family values" even in trying circumstances.

 

He said no one should paint Palin as a hypocrite because of her daughter's pregnancy. He says being a Christian doesn't mean you or your children are perfect but that there is "forgiveness and restoration when we confess our imperfections to the Lord."

 

cbs4denver.com - Dobson Praises Palin For Supporting Daughter

 

I'm not sure who you want to imply has issue with this, but Obama says it's a non issue, the far right conservatives say it's a non issue. If you think anything the Phelps' have to say will make a difference, you're still grasping at straws today, as you and the Dems were yesterday.

[ImWithStupid]

I'll accept the $100 in either cash or credit at the store.

 

I really like that Baby Huey's BBQ and Philly steak and swiss there. Yum.

You are seriously being bias.

 

 

You already want to assume she's corrupt or the same as every other politician. And they might make her become that way. But I'm telling you she's a real down to earth lady. And so is her family. There’s absolutely nothing fake about them.

[RoyalOrleans]

To echo IWS and snafu, if this is all they got on Palin then they are really scraping.

[jokersarewild]

Palin is nothing but a "we sure hope women vote with their vaginas" pick. She's clean as far as politicians go because she's only been one for two years. Give her time, and I'm sure she'll give birth to McCain's lovechild. The whole thing is just a desperate ploy by McCain to get female voters on his side.

 

Really, she has almost no experience with politics, leading, etc. And no foreign relations experience, which is a big one considering the mess we have to clean up with the world.

Yes, that may be true, but you KNOW this story is gonna get hammered on just because.. Like I said, you'll see the prayers, the loving couple, the plans for the blessed event, the bond shared... blah blah blah... gonna get downright sickening and probably almost as believable as the Presley/Jackson kiss. It's won't be the candidates fault, but rather the media who want to sell some stupid tabloids.

That was pretty much the weakest sell in history as far as being believable. Probably close second is this tremendously uncomfortable fake display of fake passion...

You couldn't help but feel sorry for Tipper. It was pretty obvious she had no idea it was gonna happen.

Actually both Palin's son Trig and her daughter's unborn child are the results of human-alien hybrids, created in Dick Cheney's secret bunker, located in the head of Teddy Roosevelt at Mt. Rushmore.

 

It must be true, it's on the Daily Kos.

I'll call them "scandals" if we go by wikipedia's definition.

 

A scandal is a widely publicized incident that involves allegations of wrongdoing, disgrace, or moral outrage. A scandal may be based on reality, the product of false allegations, or a mixture of both.

Actually, what I meant to say was that Gov. Palin's husband was father of daughter's baby. Forgot the possessive on "husband". :o But it didn't come out half-bad, anyway.
