The dominatrix

Sarah Palin is trying to seduce independent voters. But she comes across like a whip-wielding mistress who wants to discipline a naughty America.

on Palin

Why does the media think it necessary to tack on "first term" every time they mention Palin's position as governor? Have they ever found it necessary to call Obama a FIRST TERM SENATOR? Has the mainstream media ever reported that Obama was in office 143 DAYS before he decided to run for President of the United States of America. As governor, Palin has executive experience...something neither Obama nor Biden can claim to have. She has managed a city and a state. She has had to face corruption, wasteful spending, and partisan politics with resliency and persistency. Her candid freshness and no-nonsense attitude combined with McCain's lifetime of experience in the military and in Washington is the ideal ticket to lead America.

McCain’s eloquent statement to Rick Warren of his most “gut-wrenching” decision to refuse early release from the Hanoi Hilton made Obama look small. Obama has made speeches: McCain has made life-or-death decisions with honor and success. Palin has chosen to bear a child with Down syndrome instead of aborting it. Obama and Biden have made speeches, not choices. Their most gut-wrenching decisions are all political. The only personal risks they have taken are to their political standing.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122039719000892745.html?mod=opinion_main_review_and_outlooks There is nothing more dangerous to entrenched Washington power than a populist conservative who looks unlikely to buy into Washington's creature comforts. Take a close look at Governor Palin's record on ethics and energy in Alaska, and it becomes clear what this Beltway outburst is actually about. The irony is that while Senator Obama is running on change, his acceptance speech made explicit that he's promising only more power and money for Washington. Sarah Palin's history of taking on the career politicians of a corrupt Alaskan GOP machine -- her own party -- shows that she's the more authentic change agent. If SaraPalin succeeds as a national candidate, she could help John McCain proceed to a reform Presidency. Even if he loses while she does well, she could emerge as a major figure in GOP politics for years to come. This is why the media and political classes are so eager to discredit her. They can't let it happen.

On Palin's experience: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122031229774188795.html?mod=opinion_main_commentaries

The sincerity of Obama’s smooth articulate and ethical response about Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy: Sen. Barack Obama's pitch perfect response regarding the announcement of an impending birth in the Palin family ("my mother had me when she was 18") was not without a series of edits and rehearsals, according to some Obama insiders. "For tough questions we know he will get to questions we plant with reporters that we want asked, [senior campaign staff] will rehearse [Obama's] answer with him." The goal: to get his inflection and tone, as well as the content, just right. "After he flubbed the hypothetical question about his own daughter's pregnancy, the campaign has worked with him to avoid what appear to be insensitive or unthoughtful answers," says an Obama Senate staffer.

OBAMA SUCKS

Obama, this man couldn't even sound any stupider when it comes to public speaking. He constantly puts himself in a whole and digs himself deeper with each speech. It seems Senator Barack Obama intends to prove himself completely ignorant of foreign affairs and irrelevant in the Democratic nomination contest. First, during the You Tube debate, he asserted he would personally meet with the leaders of Iran, Syria, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela without preconditions in his first year in office. Senator Hillary Clinton immediately pounced on the gaffe, pointing out the potential propaganda use of such a meeting unless a strong diplomatic effort had ensured something positive to be gained by it.

If Obama were smart, he would have admitted he "misspoke" and moved on. Instead, he cluelessly defended his ridiculous position with vigor. THEN, Obama insisted that even as he turned tail and ran from Iraq like a frightened child he would unilaterally invade Pakistan to go after terrorists. The man obviously either has never given a thought to the consequences of violating the sovereignty of the only Islamic nation with nuclear weapons, or is just plain dumb. NOW, Obama unilaterally rules out using nuclear weapons under any circumstances in the War on Terror. No American President has ever removed the nuclear option from the table, for good reasons. Obama keeps proving he isn't even close to being qualified for the Presidency.

Why is this man still in the race? Can't Stand him, especially those who choose to vote for him. Just because he agrees with Same Sex Marriage, Abortion, More POWER for the African American Race, and yet he isn't focused on the MAJOR important things that America needs. He's just an unexperienced man. Who is just supported by thoughtless people with lots of money!

I don't agree with ANY of his decisions, especially this one!! Is he looking to destroy America?

McCain the only choice for democrats. Democrats do not vote for terrorists, socialists, and racists.

Obama the liar
