Sarah Palin-More than just a pretty face
I just watched Greta’s special on Fox News “Governor Sarah Palin - An American Woman“. Greta interviewed many Alaskans who know Sarah Palin and are quite familiar with her record. They all had good things to say about Governor Palin.
For the past week from the media and the left we’ve heard nasty rumors about the Governor. We’ve heard them question her ability to be a “heart beat from the Presidency” and we’ve all heard that she had a speech writer. And who can forget that she certainly can’t be a good mother and Vice President at the same time.
Sarah Palin proved that she can deliver a speech. She certainly rivals Barack Obama in her “celebrity” appeal. She has charisma and stage presence, there is no doubt about that. She stood in front of forty million Americans and delivered an incredible speech.
Unfortunately for her opponents, that is not all there is to Sarah Palin. She can put her money where her mouth is. She has the record to back up her celebrity status. As Governor of Alaska she has an 80% approval rating. That is almost unprecedented. It seems that Sarah Palin has never forgotten who she serves.
She put her career on the line to expose corruption in her own party. She sold the Governor’s plane on e-bay and vetoed nearly one quarter of a billion dollars in earmarks. She’s incredibly accomplished and competent. Whatever this woman chooses to do she does well. Who would not want her resume?
What’s so fascinating about Governor Palin is that she is so ordinary, yet extraordinary at the same time. It seems as though she was initially written off as just another pretty face, just another right wing nut out to ruin the lives of women in America. Sorry to tell you, MSM, but you are dead wrong.

I saw that program also, and thought it was very good. Mucho better than the trash in the press! Earlier in the evening I had to leave the room when a panel was discussing the sexism attack and the Democratic apologist said, more or less, yeah, the US Weekly thing was bad, but US Weekly is the the New York Times or the Washington Post. It made me wonder, has this yahoo _read_ the Times or the Post in the last week? Some of their columns make US Weekly seem tame.
In a similar vein, I corresponded today with an old family friend who had taken great offense because of the reports (from the pro-Obama press, of course) that John McCain had chosen Palin as a way to win over Hillary Clinton supporters. My response: When you say, “if he [McCain] thinks women who supported HC will now support him because he has a woman on the ticket, as a woman I feel insulted and belittled,” I am impelled to say that this is no one’s expectation, at least not as a general matter. I was a Sarah Palin fan long before her selection for VP nominee, for reasons having nothing to do with anyone who supported Hillary Clinton. Obviously, the prospect that some HC supporters may support McCain-Palin is _a_ consideration, but it was far from _the_ consideration and - - at least as far as we ardent Palinistas are concerned - - was down at the very bottom of the list. In other words, no pandering intended.
I believe it is vital that we NOT PERMIT the mainstream press to characterize the situation in any way. The pro-Obama press people will do everything they can to damage or destroy Sarah Palin, from outright lies to phony scandals to more subtle poison-pill bits, such as the “sop to the HC ladies” canard.

Well said, Jay!

Though he lacks the testicularity to do it directly, Obama clearly has directed his minions, including his thugs and thugettes in the very wrongly named MSM, to pull out the stops and do whatever it takes to destroy her.
My concern is that so many people, such as Jay’s friend and, God bless her, my mom and lots and lots of others still get their news or parts thereof from the OMSM. And they either don’t have the tools or wherewithal to find alternative news.
My concern also is that Obama — being the racial and social and cultural and religious arsonist that he is –, may push the electorate in really destructive ways. In fact, didn’t he recently declare that he will not lose this election? Strangely, when I heard or read that, I had this vision of quite literally, whatever it takes — including physical actions — he and his puppeteers do not intend for him to lose. I do not trust that he and they have the morality to stop at just mud slung orally and in print at Sarah Palin and John McCain and their families.
That also raises concerns about voter fraud, which seems all the more likley, given Obama’s connection to ACORN, which seems to be synonymous with voter fraud.
IMO, the next 30 days or so, whatever the number until the “debates” of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates, are critical.
Given that Palin will maul Biden and given that McCain will do likewise, I would not be surprised to see Biden exit left, wtih some concocted story about his health and then — presto! — HRC to be inserted.
But, then, there is that lawsuit in federal court in Pennsylvania about Obama’s citizenship. It’s possible that the October Surprise this year could be that he’s disqualified.
Lots of possibilities. But for certain: The vicious, malicious hogwash will only intensify toward Gov. Palin.
And everyone must be vigilant to protect her and her running mate, best we can.

CKA-I hear your loud and clear. I’m waiting for the announcement that Obama, or whatever his name is, has a new running mate. Today he said “he won’t be bullied.” Translation: I will not have anyone question my record, my associations or my judgment. He is very Hitler-esque if you ask me.
