McCain Nervous on First ‘Blind Date’: Palin Takes Him to See ‘Woman on Top’

Para sailing
pair-a-saline

On CNN, Rachel Campus Duffy, a Repub. 'mom blogger' (or the chick that dated Puck on RW San Francisco) just knocked Biden for being a Senator for little 'ole Delaware.

Hey RCD, aside from Joe being head of the Foreign Relations Comm, Delaware's population is almost 200,000 more than Alaska's.

Moose & caribu do not count!

All I can say right now is the trolls came out in droves today and boy, are they sucking up everything the neocons are shoveling to them. Gawd, what gullible people.

Remember what the Republicans have done to this country....Do you want more of the same???

Palin is McCain's "heck of a job Brownie", someone put in a position of trust and responsibility who lacks qualifications. He's simply duplicating Bush's cronisms on a far grander scale.

Everyone would be much less upset about Cindy McCain's $300,000 outfit the other night if they had seen her first choice, her Dalmatian-puppy-fur coat...

Oh, she has one. You know she does. I bet she skinned them herself.

Seeeeee mmmyyyyy vest, see my vest
Made from real gorilla chest....

She just came off as a negative no body of no substance... other then saying that her party is a bunch of Shite and she had to clean them out of government.

[She wanted to ban books that hadn't been published yet? See Harry Potter publish dates compared to her service dates as mayor. The librarian in question retired in 1999. Come on. Be careful here-Sitemonitor]

I just read that the person who wrote that USWeekly cover story about Palin, the story that has encouraged all sorts of outrage from Fox News, is a McCain supporter. I saw that in an editorial she (Mara Reinstein) wrote on Huffington Post.

That got me to thinking. I don't know exactly what type of magazine US Magazine is, but I suspect it is a celebrity/gossip type magazine. Isn't that what these types of magazines do....report on celebrity gossip?

I thought about this some more. I seem to recall that cable outlets, in particular one Fox News, had almost non-stop coverage of Anna Nicole Smith and her baby and the death of her son and possible drug involvement. Non-stop; 24 hours a day; severals weeks worth.

Now isn't a baby a baby, regardless if it is born to a true celebrity like Anna Nicole Smith or is born to a soon-to-be celebrity like Sarah Palin? I can understand why people might not like US Magazine reporting on the Palin story, and I can understand why they would despise that they did. But I wonder if these same people also despise what that so-called "fair and balanced" cable channel did in reporting on Anna Nicole Smith's baby????

I saw Cal Thomas on Faux News this afternoon talking about "media bias" and using the US Magazine story as an example. Seems to me he is manufacturing a little bit of outrage here and showing his bias.

What a great picture. Now they should put a picture of McCain, Bush and Cheney and call it "Larry, Curly and Moe.

The irony of this piece is that (contrary to his speech bubble) the choice of Palin is a textbook Rovian move.

Trust the Yanks to give the world a gun owning, butt-kicking Artic Circle Redneck who kills animals for laughs, wants creationism in schools, is pro-war and,
if old man Mcbush gets elected and snuffs it, will become the head Honcho of the planet's biggest military machine.

Wake up America

Is that a true list of the books?

Bad news from Zogby

http://zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1548

McCain-Palin 49.7%
Obama-Biden 45.9%

Pollster John Zogby: "Clearly, Palin is helping the McCain ticket. She has high favorability numbers, and has unified the Republican Party. The striking thing here in this poll is that McCain has pulled ahead among Catholics by double-digits. On the other hand, Palin is not helping with likely voting women who are not aligned with either political party. The undecided independent women voters decreased this week from 15% to 7%, but those women went to Obama. Palin is also helping among men, conservatives, notably with suburban and rural voters, and with frequent Wal-Mart shoppers, who tend to be "values" voters who like a good value for their money."

Obama On The Offensive

(Political Animal) OBAMA ON THE OFFENSIVE.... It looks like Barack Obama's intent on starting the stretch run on an aggressive note. He added a few sections to his stump speech today that I hadn't heard before.

First, he took on John McCain's latest effort to present himself as an agent of change. "[S]uddenly he's the change agent," Obama said. "He says, 'I'm going to tell those lobbyists that their days of running Washington are over.' Who's he going to tell? Is he going to tell his campaign chairman, who's one of the biggest corporate lobbyists in Washington? Is he gonna tell his campaign manager who was one of the biggest corporate lobbyists in Washington? Is he gonna to tell all the folks who are running his campaign who are the biggest corporate lobbyists in Washington? Who, who is it that he's going to tell that change is coming? I mean, come on. They must think you're stupid."

And in a real change of pace, Obama also sought to undermine one of Sarah Palin's central claims. "I know the governor of Alaska has been, you know, saying she is change," Obama said. "And that is great. She is a skillful politician. But when you've been taking all these earmarks when it is convenient and then suddenly you are the champion anti-earmark person, that's not change, come on!" Obama said. "I mean, words mean something. You can't just make stuff up. You can't just make stuff up. We have a choice to make and the choice is clear."

Rumor had it the Obama campaign planned to ignore Palin altogether. If today was any indication, that's not the case.

There's a fundamental split in Christianity between those who believe that Salvation is ONLY for the Chosen People, and those who believe Salvation is available to anyone.

And therein lies the difference between those who believe America is the Land of The Chosen Few, and those of us who believe "America" is a belief that ALL PEOLE Are Created Equal, Endowed By WHATEVER Created Us With UnAlienable Rights ...

Can someone tell me if this is really true?

Sarah Palin's Church Promotes Converting Gays

Gov. Sarah Palin's church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.

http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2008/09/05/1832990-palin-church-promotes-c...

can anyone give me a good logical response on this:why is it NOT okay to inquire/question/challenge governor palin about her shared parenting of 4-5 children. one of these children is a Down syndrome newborn. why are we being told it's sexist and off limits by the likes of carly f. i've heard men aren't ask similar question(s).
the reason i'm somewhat interested.i have a hunch there are certain people(mostly women?)who have concern maybe don't approve because the know all to well what it takes to raise 1 child... and now to campaign to be second in charge of the united states
and possibly president. personally i believe in gender equality but some people don't.

palin's achieved a sort of... celebrity...? status?

straight out of machiavelli isn't it, always be accusing you opponent of the wrongs you actually do, also, attack their best points, then emulate them and claim them as your own... anyone have a list of just what ideas/strategies altogether mccain has copied from obama and then play out as if they're his idea... additionally, the current state of the union, somehow, is the fault of eastern liberals, huh? can that actually fly?

maybe obvious question is, will sex sell, to the point of winning an election, is it really that simple? are we, collectively, that dumb?

I tried to post a link to an article but I think akismet ate it.

It's a newsvine article

I just took another look and they call her Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate...

The Wasilla church where Democratic vice presidential candidate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, attends is promoting a program that promises to convert homosexuals to heterosexuals through the power of Jesus Christ and prayer.

Nope! Palin never did ban any books. She used it as a loyalty test to see who opposed her and fire them. Vicious bitch ain't she? She'll fit right in with the GOP crowd in Washington now in Bush's third term with McSame.

Here's the story about Palin's book-banning try as mayor

By Rindi White | Anchorage Daily News

Excerpt:

WASILLA -- Back in 1996, when she first became mayor, Sarah Palin asked the city librarian if she would be all right with censoring library books should she be asked to do so.

According to news coverage at the time, the librarian said she would definitely not be all right with it. A few months later, the librarian, Mary Ellen Emmons, got a letter from Palin telling her she was going to be fired. The censorship issue was not mentioned as a reason for the firing. The letter just said the new mayor felt Emmons didn't fully support her and had to go.

Emmons had been city librarian for seven years and was well liked. After a wave of public support for her, Palin relented and let Emmons keep her job.

It all happened 12 years ago and the controversy long ago disappeared into musty files. Until this week. Under intense national scrutiny, the issue has returned to dog her. It has been mentioned in news stories in Time Magazine and The New York Times and is spreading like a virus through the blogosphere.

The stories are all suggestive, but facts are hard to come by. Did Palin actually ban books at the Wasilla Public Library?

In December 1996, Emmons told her hometown newspaper, the Frontiersman, that Palin three times asked her -- starting before she was sworn in -- about possibly removing objectionable books from the library if the need arose.

Emmons told the Frontiersman she flatly refused to consider any kind of censorship. Emmons, now Mary Ellen Baker, is on vacation from her current job in Fairbanks and did not return e-mail or telephone messages left for her Wednesday.

SNIP!

Four days before the exchange at the City Council, Emmons got a letter from Palin asking for her resignation. Similar letters went to police chief Irl Stambaugh, public works director Jack Felton and finance director Duane Dvorak. John Cooper, a fifth director, resigned after Palin eliminated his job overseeing the city museum.

Palin told the Anchorage Daily News then that the letters were just a test of loyalty as she took on the mayor's job, which she'd won from three-term mayor John Stein in a hard-fought election. Stein had hired many of the department heads. Both Emmons and Stambaugh had publicly supported him against Palin.

Trust the Yanks to give the world a gun owning, butt-kicking Artic Circle Redneck who kills animals for laughs, wants creationism in schools, is pro-war and,
if old man Mcbush gets elected and snuffs it, will become the head Honcho of the planet's biggest military machine.

Wake up America

There are large portions of our population who think that would be the best thing ever.

There's a fundamental split in Christianity between those who believe that Salvation is ONLY for the Chosen People, and those who believe Salvation is available to anyone.

And therein lies the difference between those who believe America is the Land of The Chosen Few, and those of us who believe "America" is a belief that ALL PEOLE Are Created Equal, Endowed By WHATEVER Created Us With UnAlienable Rights ...

The people I know who consider themselves 'deeply' (ha!) religious have this mindset: anything they believe is right, anyone who disagrees with them on any issue is an agent of satan and must be either saved or destroyed. "We know the bible is 100% true because it says so in the bible!"

I live in Mississippi. It truly feels like a cult. The people I encounter in daily life, probably better than 90% of them fall into one of two groups: there are the true believers, and there are those who pretend to believe because to do otherwise would be either dangerous or have other negative repercussions (loss of business, loss of social standing, etc.) NO ONE will openly admit they don't believe what everyone else believes, a very few will admit it in private. Job postings in the one local paper say things like "WANTED: Good Christian woman for bookkeeping position..."

zogby is full of shit. always with the twisted over-framed questions. he did the same thing in 2006.

nothing to believe here! move along now.

It's an escape from reality, a pacifier until the Nov when the youth, minority/women vote shatter their moose shit world. They love fooling themselves.

My 22 yr old daughter called me from school today and said: "Dad that woman is evil, I mean she's really truly evil." I agreed, praised her insight and asked her what the mood was around campus. She said that even the Christian groups were not supporting her.

Granted the school is on the blue side of WA but it's in an area that has a strong conservative element and apparently the youth from that area aren't impressed.

Palins are freeeeeaks. But why would this guy go youtube first? Why not go the MSM directly?

Thanks to McCain campaign for bringing the Jerry Springer factor into the presidential race.

Bad news from Zogby

http://zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1548

McCain-Palin 49.7%
Obama-Biden 45.9%

Pollster John Zogby: "Clearly, Palin is helping the McCain ticket. She has high favorability numbers, and has unified the Republican Party. The striking thing here in this poll is that McCain has pulled ahead among Catholics by double-digits. On the other hand, Palin is not helping with likely voting women who are not aligned with either political party. The undecided independent women voters decreased this week from 15% to 7%, but those women went to Obama. Palin is also helping among men, conservatives, notably with suburban and rural voters, and with frequent Wal-Mart shoppers, who tend to be "values" voters who like a good value for their money."

B

Just news.....not necessarily bad news. polls&campaigns aren't linear.........wait and see when the fancy wrapping comes off the mccain/palin gift

Anything above 8% of the vote going to McSame, is a direct measure of the number of complete blithering idiots in America.

Have these stupid bastards been living abroad for the last 8 years? WTF! American's have to be the dumbest bastards on earth, and maybe the entire universe for that matter!

jj @ 15:

This the list of books that Palin tried to ban from the public libraries whilw she was Mayor:

.....

> Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary by the Merriam-Webster
> Editorial Staff

Why does this one not surprise me?

Damn, a "wordy book about words"...

That's an abomination. To do that to Audrey Hepburn...yeesh.

I'm not exactly buying it, to be honest. he could go to the enquirer and make a bundle.

She's got good insight and that's a good sign. The folks at my wife's Catholic church aren't buying it at all. My fishing buddies who are conservative vets think McCain is a p*ssy for caving. They think McCain thinks we're all stupid. I tend to agree.

Years ago, I experienced the same. People who have not experienced "true believers" cannot even begin to imagine the deep roots of this mindset. Or, the hostility and maliciousness that emerges if they suspect you do not share their point of view. Just the thought that a "true believer" is now running for such high office is enough to make you break into cold sweat.

We Hope the Obama Campaign is Keeping James Carville as Far Away as Possible. In Bob Woodward's Last Book (Not the Upcoming One), He Revealed that Carville Tipped off the White House, Through His Wife (Mary Matalin), in 2006 that Kerry Was Going to Contest the Provisional Ballots in Ohio. Matalin Told Cheney and Then Bush, with the Information, Called the Infamous Former Ohio Sec. of State Kenneth Blackwell to Block the Kerry Effort and, as in Florida 2000, Preemptively Make Bush the Winner in Ohio. What are the Dems Doing Still Keeping Carville Around? This is As Low a Betrayal as It Gets. Matalin's Got Junkyard Carville By the Balls, That's for Sure. And Remember that Carville and Matalin Both Signed a Letter to the Court About What a Great Guy Scooter Libby is. 9/7

Yeah and Bristol Palin is the mother of Trig. Lots of noise out there. Reminds me of a whisper campaign in SC in 2000. Except this time it's being used to help Palin. And guess who's running the McCain campaign. The same guys. Be wary folks. Lots of crap like this is going to come out. It's a trap.

zogby usually does not show the actual poll itself, because they are virtually unread
