And you don't think this gal, who has got the Democrats hair on fire, has answers for all your "points?"

Check out a new thingy....Google. Every charge has been debunked a thousand times over. (that is, if you really want to know the facts)

One question for you......Why do the people who know her best, the citizens of Alaska, shower her with an 85+% approval rating? (Hint: calling them juvenile names isn't the answer)

BTW.....I'm a Democrat, and I don't want McCain/Palin to win. We can still win this thing, unfortunately suicide seems to be the only thing in the Dem's playbook.) The panic and frenzy I'm hearing, and the off-the-wall stupidity being printed is so easy to refute that it only proves one thing....the powers that run the Democratic Party haven't learned a thing from the Gore/Kerry fiascos.

Use a FEW, simple, unassailable FACTS, like three. Make an ad. Buy and air for two days.

Then make another ad using three more item. Buy and air for two days.

Then make another ad using three more item. Buy and air for two days.

Then make a BIG buy and run them all.

NO refuting lies. NO name calling. No sexism.

Simple unassailable FACTS:

AD ONE:

No Fiscal Conservative:

Mayor with $27 mil in TAXPAYER Earmarks, for a town of 6000.

And still left it with $22 mil in debt.

JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN!

Tax cuts for the rich:

The Mayor of Wasilla did cut taxes, property taxes for the rich, but raised sales taxes that hit the middle class and the poor, taxes even on food.

JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN!

As Governor: Projects with funding reduced by 50 percent include the following:

• Catholic Community Resources — counseling and adoption

• Fairbanks Community Food Bank

JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN

Ad Two:

No Fiscal Conservative:

Spent money not on useful public works, but for a sports complex that is underused. Built it on land that did not belong to the city. Left the city in litigation. Irresponsible.

JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN!

No Reformer:

Acively lobbied for the Bridge to Nowhere, before she was against it, then took the money anyway. Then said she was against it.

JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN!

Promises to cooperate on an abuse of power investigation, but then stonewalls and refuses to testify.

JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN!

Ad Three:

“Covenant House Alaska, a program that helps younger people, including teenage mothers. The Alaska legislature decided to allocate $5 million in building funds, but Gov. Sarah Palin cut that to $3.9 million with a line-item veto in June.”

JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN!

Big Oil financed her mayoral bid!

JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN!

Spent money not on useful public works, but for a sports complex that is underused. Built it on land that did not belong to the city. Left the city in litigation. Irresponsible.

JUST LIKE A BUSH REPUBLICAN!

More like a golden retriever who's been taught to bark on command and not make messes on the floor.

Kind of makes you want to go to the pound for a dog and name it 'Sarah', doesn't it?

She dominates as a debater in that she can use all the verbal tricks of the trade ...

The 'credit' for that collection of logical fallacies goes to the team who wrote the speech - before she was picked.

... but it's not her fault that she doesn't present more substance.

She hasn't been told what her positions will be yet. She herself has admitted to being clueless. But she's just a right-wing novelty item after all, so that's okay. Nobody expected her to be taken seriously, certainly not her Republican handlers.

The pubs have had their little joke and we've all laughed. So, who's the real nominee?

The "liberal media" will castigate Palin's speech for being light (as in anorexic) on substance. She dominates as a debater in that she can use all the verbal tricks of the trade, but it's not her fault that she doesn't present more substance. After all, what substance is there? So little that the McFlipFlop campaign is reduced to making up and distorting her past because there just isn't enough substance to present. I.e., stopover in Ireland = has international experience, head of state national guard to whom she has never given an order = has military experience, mayor of a little town run by a city manager = has governing experience, running Stevens' 527 = standing up to him, ebay affair, supported/opposed bridge to nowhere...

I wonder about the kind of mother who would be compared to a pit bull. Remember that pit bulls show no pack loyalty, are responsible for the death of more children than anyother breed, think of themselves first, and in general are socially unacceptable for good reason.

Avi Steinberg's Confessions of an RNC Security Guard include descriptions of RNC attendees lusting after Palin; Steinberg observes that Palin reminds him of Bush (more so than McCain). This leads me ineluctably to a slogan the Democrats could use (take this any way you like):

Palin is four more years of Bush

Some may say it's sexist, but the same could not be said of Clinton.

I mean, if a woman is putting her Down syndrome baby on prime-time TV, literally in the laps of the likes of Cindy McCain—and you and me—then I do rightfully wonder who that baby is.

A future Republican presidential candidate.

In theory, I don’t care about Sarah Palin’s personal life. In reality, because she’s made her baby one of the centerpieces of the campaign, I think I do have a right to question the specifics here. I mean, if a woman is putting her Down syndrome baby on prime-time TV, literally in the laps of the likes of Cindy McCain—and you and me—then I do rightfully wonder who that baby is.

The hands-off-Palin controversy is a trap. We all know Ms. Palin grew up a hunter, and well, trapping is part of that sport/hobby. She wants to be a pit bull—hey, it’ll take more than lipstick to separate her from that species, whose handlers, by the way, are legally prohibited from training to maim and kill—but she refuses to play in the dog park of this election.

Hunters are all about a fair fight, sportsmanship, and so forth, and as a regular20Joe, I like to play by the rules myself. Granted, I’m in the audience, but I’m wondering who the refs are, and why they aren’t calling foul. As such, I will make my own fan wave, and say: Rewind, and…FOUL!!!

Why can’t we say anything? For example, I was booted off the CNN message board—the first time I’d ever tried something like that as now I was inspired enough to actually be involved in the election process—because I asked an apparently too edgy, direct question of Ms. Palin. I only wanted to know if, hypothetically, she would let Bristol make an eleven-hour journey back to her home state AFTER her water had broken, before she stopped to have her baby? My idea was that if it was good for the goose, it should be good enough for her gander. Maybe that Alaskan secessionist thing is true—I mean, is Alaska really another country, such that the state of Texas wasn’t good enough for her delivery? It’s all the same America, right?

The personal information about Sarah Palin is interesting and important to me, not merely as voyeuristic gossip fodder—a recently developing American dream theme, by the way—but because it doesn’t seem like politically, governmental officials can be held accountable for their (un)professional behavior. Seems only the personal stuff can get them in trouble, and I’m feeling like this woman might be serious trouble. Seems anyone with even the tiniest bit of insight or willin gness to look deeper than skin, can see that there is something askew in the story of Trig’s birth, and beyond.

Is it personal? You’re damn right it is. Should we delve into her personal life decisions? Well, if it’s good for the goose, it’s damn well good for the gander. If Ms. Palin and company want to delve into my personal life (i.e., take away my privacy and freedom of choice), then that is simply the rules of this game—which they have laid out. If it is discovered that Ms. Palin is lying about her own child, which may absolutely, positively be true—Ms. Palin, just produce the birth certificate, please, and we can move on—than she may just be the mother of all mothers. And I don’t mean that in a positive way.

Politics is personal. Family is on the line here—everyone’s family. So why can’t we say anything? The hunting traps are everywhere, like the literal aerial hunting grounds Palin supports in her own state/country, and voters must be smart and fair hunters in return. They’ll be no capture of hockey moms and pit bulls, no matter how high the moral ground, if we are not allowed to say anything.
