Besides Campaign Finance Reform. Tell me.

Claim you were against the bridge to nowhere. Please please please please tell an outright boldfaced lie on national television. I'm begging you. I mean, you have no other example of reform to speak of, you have to keep with this schtick, otherwise your delusional reform image is just so clearly an gimmick. So you have to lie on national television to millions.

None of us Americans know this is really a lie, a complete and utter fabrication. Honest. And we won't utterly crucify you for doing it, I swear. It's okay, we'll give you a mulligan on it. Just look right into the camera and say you were against the bridge to nowhere. I'm am literally on my knees as I type this, and I am begging you.

Trig.

A Palin in hand is better than two in the Bush.

Was that Levi?

e.g. Romney blames liberals and Democrats for the the mortgage and credit problems. Utter fantasy. Clicjes trump reality.

And the nerdy, dopey people in the audience are chanting, "USA! USA! USA!..." Barf.

the more I find out about Palin, the more she frightens me.

all her jabbering about God's will betrays her genuine arrogance and disregard for humanity.

imagine her finger on the nuclear button. "destroying the world was God's PLAN!:

Who cares about the rest? We want Levi! We want Levi!

Trig.

check this out- just saw this link which was posted by LindaHewitt in a much ealier thread in the war room today.

Really funny:

So Palin is gonna go on the offensive is she?

brilliant! She's just opened the door for Clinton to rip into her (an opportunity I'm damn near positive that the good Senator for New York is relishing)

I can't even begin to imagine how incensed Palin's nomination has made Clinton...and with good reason too.

Difference is, Obama was last a community organizer in 1996, and since then served seven years as a state senator and nearly four as a US senator for Illinois.

In contrast Palin was a small town major six years ago, and since then served barely two years as governor of Alaska, a state with the population of a small city.

So to "equate" their level of experience Palin has to compare her record two years ago with Obama's ten years ago.

Huckabee just said, "Sarah Palin got more votes running for Mayor of Wassila, Alaska, than Joe Biden got running for President of the United States."

Ouch!

The rest of his speech was sappy silliness. Yuk!

Besides a lot of snowmen and a few scattered social misfits who couldn't make it down in the lower 48?

I hate to think what's in the speech, considering all the low-hanging fruit in the excerpts.

I mean, honestly, she's really going to say this?

""Here's how I look at the choice Americans face in this election. In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change."

Forget that McCain has reversed himself on uncountable numbers of issues to get the nomination, which by itself makes this laughable. Just ask which of the two categories best describes her career.

I've heard that Huckabee quote a few times now, & I wonder if anyone has vetted it?

From what I heard, her town was LESS than 6000 people, & LESS than one thousand actually voted - and the election for mayor was close - 400+ to 500+, that kind of thing.

So... fewer votes? I don't think so, but feel free to correct me if he got less than 500...

Not by any stretch. Biden got more votes in primaries after he dropped out than live in Wasilla in total. His total in Florida was just over 15,000. Wasilla last population estimate was under 9,000.

This is not exactly a lie, but almost certainly either an lame exaggeration or cheap hyperbole.

Anyway, I presume that picture was intended to charcterize Republican convenioneers, for the derisive pleasure of the Salon readership. I wonder if I can find an equivalent DNC figure...

She's a former Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader.

Circa 1975

...will be when Palin delivers her teleprompter speeech (not written by her) and every GOP operative trips over themselves to find a camera to spout "See! She's qualified! She easily proved she is VP material!"

This coming from the very same people who have derided Obama as being nothing more than a guy who can give a good teleprompter speech.

One speech and Palin is a "solid" VP choice. Hypocrisy of the purest and highest order will be on display tonight.

You finally showed up!

With your prerequisite unintelligible psychobabble already posted and out of the way, how about giving us your explanation of why Palin is a good choice for the repuglican VP. (Please try to make some sort of sense for once.)

The world is waiting... or a least a handful of Salon readers and always lurking trollbots.

P.S.(Thank you for your good work)

Sarah's sister.

Let's see...

Palin is a country girl who has a reputation for plain talkin'. Bush is a faux country lad who likes to clear brush.

Palin is a Christian who bans books and thinks human activity had nothing to do with climate change. Bush is a Christian who shreds e-mails and thinks human activity had nothing to do with climate change.

Palin is carefully protected from the press. Ditto for Bush.

Palin has little experience other than mayor of a two-bit Arctic town. Bush ruined everything he touched, from the state of Texas to the Texas Rangers.

Both Palin's and Bush's main appeal appears to be their willingness to be figureheads for the Wacko Religious Wrong while being people with whom mouth breathers would like to go moose hunting/have a beer.

That settles it. I'm going to call Sarah Palin "Georgia Bush" from this point on. She's the Resident reincarnated as a nonqualified Alaska cheerleader.
