Ofcourse Quitter Palin couldn't hold an original thought and had to be spoon fed her whining points. That Wallace Witch was behind a lot of the great right lies about Obama. But ofcourse we're not allowed to say she's been palling around with her secessionist husband and her new lies that he only checked the independent box are just that, lies. He was into that movement for years and has only changed his secessionist tune because his wicked wife was running on the national scene.

When will the Wicked Wasilla Witch ever figure out that the more she gets in front of the cameras the more she makes an idiot of herself to Mainstream America? Never probably.

She abandoned her post so she could cash in on her book deal and get her tv unreality show on fox and freaks. If she were in the armed forces she'd be a deserter during wartime.

No surprise really. If McCain had not authorized the attack, he would have stopped Palin but it went on for weeks. It went on until McCain realized it wasn't working plus it finally hit him that they were insighting violence against candidate Obama. Shame on McCain, I thought he was better than that.

It didn't work because most Americans were smart enough to realize that if you are on a board, you have no control over who the other board members are. It was also a lie that Ayers ever hosted a fund raising for Obama. Like so many false stories that were circulated and passed off as truth, the terrorist one shows the depth of slash/burn republican politics. Don't attack the person's policies, attack the person; make your opponent seem unpatriotic or unamerican--that's Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich style politics. Finally, we the people said "ENOUGH".

"Ronald Reagan DID NOT bring down the Soviet union

MSierra, SF

Hey MSierra - excellent observation of the truth that the repugnant ones try to cover up with their great right lies that cover up all the damage Raygunz did with his Voodoo Tinkle Down economics. Sex, drugs and rock and roll had more to do with the demise of the Soviet Union because that and their little war in Afghanistan were the true undoings of the Big Red Bear. When I saw the punk rock bands playing in Leningrad during the early 80's I knew the Soviets were losing control of their masses. Raygunz was given too much credit for things he didn't do and not given enough credit for the things he did that have screwed up our secular democracy and economy for the past 28 years.

Raygunz's Legacy is the Great Right Lie!

Remember when he had a crowd of "advisers" with him on his rock star tour of Europe during the elections...to help him know what to say? Remember when Michelle Obama disappeared during the election when public perception wasn't very high on her ("For the 1st time in my life I'm proud to be an American").

Peggy Noonan was Reagan's speech writer

She coined the phrase Morning in America'

From Washington Monthly:

'...NOONAN TELLS US WHAT SHE REALLY THINKS....
In September, in one of the presidential campaign's more refreshing and unscripted moments, conservative columnist Peggy Noonan chatted with NBC's Chuck Todd about Sarah Palin, when both thought their microphones were off. Palin's addition to the Republican ticket, Noonan said, was "political bullshit."

Ten months later, Noonan's opinion of the resigning Alaska governor seems to have deteriorated further. In her Wall Street Journal column today, Noonan just unloads on Palin, characterizing her, accurately, as everything that's wrong with Republican politics in the 21st century. She even recognizes conservative claims about Palin, only to quickly knock them down.

"The elites hate her." The elites made her. It was the elites of the party, the McCain campaign and the conservative media that picked her and pushed her. The base barely knew who she was. It was the elites, from party operatives to public intellectuals, who advanced her and attacked those who said she lacked heft. She is a complete elite confection. She might as well have been a bonbon.

"She makes the Republican Party look inclusive." She makes the party look stupid, a party of the easily manipulated.

"She shows our ingenuous interest in all classes." She shows your cynicism.

"Now she can prepare herself for higher office by studying up, reading in, boning up on the issues." Mrs. Palin's supporters have been ordering her to spend the next two years reflecting and pondering. But she is a ponder-free zone. She can memorize the names of the presidents of Pakistan, but she is not going to be able to know how to think about Pakistan. Why do her supporters not see this? Maybe they think "not thoughtful" is a working-class trope!

"The media did her in." Her lack of any appropriate modesty did her in.

Noonan, methodically and thoroughly, simply takes Palin apart, detailing the governor's inability to be thoughtful, unwillingness to learn what others think, reluctance to explain or even understand her own policy positions, and tendency to say things that are "scattered, illogical, manipulative and self-referential to the point of self-reverence."

Noonan concludes that we're in an era in which the nation needs "conservative leaders who know how to think" and a Republican Party that is "serious, as serious as the age, because that is what a grown-up, responsible party -- a party that deserves to lead -- would do."

From Noonan's keyboard to the party's ears...'

It certainly wasn’t an original thought. I doubt that she even knew who Bill Ayers was before the 2008 primary.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Other Palin news:
Palin’s claim that the millions being drained from Alaska – Not completely true.
Murrow, a spokesperson, acknowledged that the $1.9 million total was arrived at by adding up attorney hours spent on fending off complaints - based on the fixed salaries of lawyers in the governor's office and the Department of Law. The money would have gone to the lawyers no matter what they were doing. The complaints are "just distracting them from other duties," Murrow said.
In other words, while these lawyers might have been free to do other legal work for the state, the ethics complaints have apparently not had the real world impact Palin has claimed, and didn't drain money away from cops, teachers, roads and other things.

When you give the rich and greedy more tax cuts all they do is laugh on their way to the bank as they don't create more demand. When you give money to those with not enouigh you create demand as they go shipping.

Lies — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 18:31:56 GMT

Quotes from Barack Obama: "Bill Ayers is just a guy in my neighborhood". (Facts: They served on boards together and Obama thoroughly read Ayer's books and liked them).

"I never knew of his radical ideas" (concerning Reverand Wright)...(facts: He called Wright "a father figure" and sat in his pews for 20 years and read his newsletters which hailed such radicals as Farrakhan as "man of the year").

Assocications with Ayers, Wright, and others may not disqualify Obama from becoming president, but his outright lies (made easy by the media who never probed) should make every american uneasy as to what this smooth-talker tells us each week. Remember, he also told us he'd have no lobbyists (he has them), he'd take earmarks serious (he hasn't), he'd demonstrate "new politics" (not even close--more partisanship and petty politics than ever)....etc.

Once she was 'announced' - what did she think was going to happen if she acted like a true Maverick and didn't toe the line? Was she afraid they would drop her like last years' failed CBS lineup? A true leader refuses to participate in behavior unbecoming. That is how respect is earned.

Talking points! They used the hell out her and she was stupid enough to fall for and now they are standing at such a distance from her as though she smells. This woman allowed herself and her family to be placed in the position to be mocked and smeared.

She and her husband both are no more than money grubing liers. Who would want to read a book about her? She is a walking book of disaster looking for a photo op.

Anna Molly:

Great Blog about the credit card. Precise and to the point.

Feisty:

Looks like both of us have imposters.

Mark in Seattle:

I'm not as nasty as you ... period. I attack just to piss you off but it's always what I percieve to be true. I think you're a thin-skinned phony. As far as issues are you too dumb to figure out who and what I am without making up all that "mindless chitter chatter" about me just to hear yourself talk.

I'm on Obie's side as far as gay marriage is concerned. That's right, I agree with Obie. YOU okay gay marriage.

I am against abortion AND the killing of abortion docs. God will know what to do with them at a later date.

The Republicans are as irresponsible as the Dems.
Like that, Mark? EXCEPT that Obie has spent this country into oblivion and has no direction. Biden as much as said so. So I give Bush credit for at least holding true to what he percieved as right and wrong while Obie is still trying to figure some way to please everybody. That doesn't work and it's HIS economy now, not Bush's. I didn't agree with Bush concerning immigration. It was all talk and he did NOTHING to stop it. Obie doesn't give a damn either.
If you are here illegally, you go back. It's cut and dried with me. Play fair and come into this country legally. YOU are on the flip side of this one. We know that.

I also think term limits are necessary. The fact that Kennedy or even any Republican can stay forever is ridiculous.

I think Obie is short on America's defense. I don't like him apologizing for America in any way because he comes acrossed weak and I believe he is. I don't recall him saying one positive thing about America in his visits overseas. I consider him beyond a socialist.

I don't believe in redistribution of money because all he's doing is taking away a person's ability to become the best they can be. I'm a capitalist and I don't like it when people lay around and do nothing when they are capable of working. If they're well off and don't want or need to work, that's THEIR business, not Obie's. Free entitlements should be given to the elderly, sick and disabled, not someone too damn lazy to work for a living expecting me, you or anyone else to hand him OUR hard-earned money.

And after Palin gets criticized over and over for things she didn't do or had no control over, like that $150,000 campaign wardrobe, Michell Obama can take those $1200 purses and stick them where the sun don't shine.

In the last 28 years a Dem has been prez for only 8 of them and HE was a lying, cheating pathetic human being, as is Mark Sanford.

That's the diff here. I will castrate my own. You blokes honor the devil in yours.

Oh boy - I'm shocked NOT! Silly Sarah probably never even heard of Ayers before she jumped on the McShame train.

Ditto MSierra :) on both!!

Hope all have a good weekend. I'm going to. I'm going to remind Mark and Dom the question of the week was "When's Larry O going to get his own show?" Chris must be really bummed about missing the Silly Sarah debacle. I'm sure he will make up for it when he gets back!!

Did Sarah remember that all by herself or did she have a teleprompter to use to spew the hate?

I'm sure glad Obama doesn't script any of his events. He wouldn't do anything like hug a cancer victim and tell them he's going to help her. No. Not Obama.

MFSierra, you are so right! Peggy Noonan's piece today was pitch perfect (she always is, even though I hardly agree with her on anything, she is always thoughtful and measured) and EVERYONE should read it. I've sent a copy to Morning Shmoe and Shmika to make sure they get their facts straight for Monday. However my FAVORITE line is from that feisty Tina Brown, who said it just right: Palin is just so "arrogant in her ignorance." Gotta love those two strong women from different decks dishing it out to Madame Paylin--who is quitting on her state for money!

Eric, Salinas, CA: You've filled your posts here with nothing but feel good lies, and I can't wait until next summer to see how you're doing wiping all that egg off your face when you see Obama's Recovery has recovered us from our Bushwhacked Economy.

Oh, now we have to wait until next summer for the stimulus to work! How's it going to work though if California is still broke? The biggest economic engine in the country, 8th biggest in the world, will still be dead in the water issuing IOUs that no one wants. How's that going to help Obama economic plans?

And next summer will come and go, and unemployment will be 15%, and Obama supporters will go "Wait tell next year!".

You guys/gals sound like Cubs fans.

Time to leave Palin alone. Obama doesnt seem to be much help. His ideas are ruining the country. We could do much worse than Palin.

"If you are comfortable, please deliver the attack as written." --Nicole Wallace (email to Palin)

*************************

So--I guess Palin was comfortable with the content and wording of the attack. She could've chosen to be "mavericky" and refuse to use something that could backfire and make the speaker look bad. But she didn't.

The fact that Wallace, Schmidt, etc. felt it necessary to stoop to these attacks shows their desperation to bring down the opposition, whatever the cost. Too bad we couldn't have heard more positive things from Palin--her ideas, her hopes for the country. Maybe her reputation wouldn't have suffered quite so badly. Well, she still can't form coherent responses to simple questions--but she can deliver prepared speeches just fine.

I don't like Palin or her views, but I hope that she has learned from her brief time on the national stage that it doesn't pay to spew negative, hateful rhetoric about opponents.

".....And yet, Sarah Palin was 'plain' around with a TRAITOR'
Sarah Palin's husband Todd is a member of the Alaska Independence PArty
The Alaska Independence Party wants Alaska to SECEDE for the United States
How's THAT for Treason ??
Not much discussion of this during the campaign
Todd Palin is a DISLOYAL American
The Palins are Dead Fish who go with the Treasonous Flow
Sarah Palin, Palin' around with Traitors ....."

Uh....no.
It is BARRACK OBAMA who hangs out with Domestic Terrorists from the 1970's; WILLIAM AYERS
Federally Convicted Political Racketeers; TONY REZKO
and, Racist, Cult-Religion Leaders; JEREMIAH WRIGHT.

Secession, if voted upon and approved by a majority of Alaskans would not be treason; but rather, simple majority rule.

But, a total moran like yourself would never understand that.

In short Sierra....you put the 'simple' in SIMPLETON, because that's exactly what you are.

To: The Idiots dumping on the President...
The President has been in office a "short time" Did you expect change the next day? For crying out loud... . Bush SCREWED things up but President Obama gets the rap! I think those dumpers can't see past his skin color... I have never seen a President so disrespected in my whole life! Bush paid himself before exiting with the Bail-out money...but we can't see that!
Give the President a chance to make a change... No one would want to clean up the mess Bush made!

Keep the Change--what attacks are you talking about??? Any attacks Obama's campaign strategists (Axelrod and Plouffe) intentionally avoided personal issues. McCain's infidelity was NEVER brought up by Obama or Biden. Obama basically avoided any talk of Palin. He focused on McCain's stances. I thought the emphasis on how many houses he had (or didn't know he had) was petty, but it still wasn't an attack on his character. It showed how out of touch McCain was with the average American family.

You must not have been paying very good attention during the primaries and the fall campaign!

Lies (Sent Friday, July 10, 2009 2:31 PM)
----------------------------------------------
Yep, you're right. More gop lies. If you're going to quote him, get the whole quote. Here is exactly what Barack Obama said when asked about Ayers:

"George, but this is an example of what I'm talking about.

"This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis.

"And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn't make much sense, George."

So I guess you aren't really interested in the facts. You just want to cut out one sound bite that makes him sound like he is covering something up!
