Sarah Palin's Comments - DESPICABLE & UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Inciting violence against members of congress is UNACCEPTABLE! Sarah Palin has made several comments since the Health Care Reform Bill was signed last week and it clearly shows she does not have the best interest of the American People at heart.

I have NEVER been a Sarah Palin supporter and question those who have like minded views. She is a raving lunatic who clearly doesn't understand that her words are taken very seriously. Even though she thinks her remarks (as she uses folksy, wink-wink, tilt of the head moves) shouldn't incite violence, they do. People, crazy as they are, take her remarks serious and make her thoughts their reality.

Just last week, Palin released a map of the United States with districts of key representatives who voted for health care reform, marked with cross-hair symbols. She then went on to release the following statement, "The crossfire is intense, so penetrate through enemy territory by bombing through the press, and use your strong weapons -- your Big Guns -- to drive to the hole. Shoot with accuracy; aim high and remember it takes blood, sweat and tears to win."

Agree with the Health Care Reform Bill or not, that is DESPICABLE!

Sarah goes on to say, "Get in their face and argue with them. No matter how tough it gets, never retreat, instead RELOAD!"

Again, DESPICABLE!

But it's not just Sarah Palin leading people to take such despicable acts of violence against our Congressmen, it's others too. Rep. Michele Bachmann said she wants her constituents "armed and dangerous" against the Obama administration. I'm embarrassed to say that my own state has contributed to this type of rhetoric as Rep. Randy Neugebauer yelled "baby killer" at Bart Stupak on the House floor. Rep. Devin Nunes of California said Tea Partiers had "every right" to use racist and homophobic slurs against Democrats.

Who gives him, or anyone else for that matter, that right? It's not only despicable but it's unacceptable behavior and has to be stopped! I don't know what the answer is to stopping such horrific acts of violence, but something has to give. You know, when I was supporting the Barack Obama campaign for Presidency, he said "change would not come easy", I knew that to be a true statement. I guess I just never thought it to be this hard and this dirty either. It's come down to plain old dirty politics.

I don't think it's politics as usual, it's escalated and it must be stopped!

Is Sarah Palin really Rouge?


Sarah Palin was given a golden opportunity yesterday to take a stand and explain who she was and once again she failed to deliver. Why would you not take advantage of such a platform as being on stage with the Queen of interviewing herself, Oprah Winfrey, and not give solid, direct answers to the questions you're being asked? I don't know any more about Sarah Palin today than I did when she was running for VP. She skirted around the questions just as she did on the campaign trail. She's not even in politics anymore, yet her answers were very scripted, very politician like. I'm curious to see if she'll run in 2012. I hope and pray she doesn't, but I'm a little concerned that it is actually on her radar screen even though she said in the Oprah interview that it wasn't.

Anyone who knows me, knows I am far from being a supporter of Sarah Palin or the Republican Party. However, I did go into the interview with an open mind. I wanted to see who Sarah really was. I wanted honest, direct answers and I didn't get that. Take for example the question about Levi being invited to Thanksgiving. That's a simple yes or no question and doesn't require much if any explanation. We all know what kind of person Levi is, so just answer the question, YES or NO! Not, "Oh the thought of that is just so lovely"? Huh, lovely how?

Now, with all that said I do have to give her credit for even doing the interview with Oprah. Her supporters and non-supporters were not too thrilled that she was even going to do it. However, I do think Oprah was very respectful as was Sarah regarding each others political views and choices.

Did you see the interview and if so, what are your thoughts? Supporter or not, are you going to be reading her book, Going Rogue?

No Apology Necessary Dave!

David Letterman apologizes to Sarah Palin and her family during his 1st segment of The Late Show last Wednesday. Dave's apology came after 2 jokes were made about one of the Palin daughters (the one who's already been knocked up, Bristol), which he reiterates in the explanation/apology.


Then, last night he goes even further with his apology to the Palin's with this response.

In my opinion his apology is heartfelt, but I also don't think the apology was necessary. This is what he gets paid to do. Yes, sometimes a joke can be taken too far, but the Palin's are the ones that have made this in to a bigger spectacle than what it had to be.

You just have to love David Letterman! I honestly don't think he meant any harm!

Sarah Palin under fire....

Sarah Palin is under fire for quite a few things today.

It seems Sarah has charged the state of Alaska for her children to join her on the campaign trail. See the following article: http://news.aol.com/elections/article/palin-charged-alaska-for-kids-travel/220444?icid=100214839x1211608564x1200742164

Sarah is also being scrutinized for the RNC spending $150K on her clothing allowance. See the following article: http://news.aol.com/elections/article/rnc-spends-150000-on-palin-clothes/221230

She was a real sport doing this. I'm quite surprised the Republican Party let her do this.

Create a Palindrome...

Say it aint so Joe... there is a new website that's just surfaced in honor of Sarah Palin, http://pa.lindro.me/. Their main page says it all "The GOP tells her what to say, now you can too!". They have come up with all of Sarah Palin's speeches, and given you the power to make her say whatever your heart desires.

Giving credit where credit is due.

I'm still not voting for the McCain-Palin ticket. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Sarah Palin last night. I thought she did a really decent job. I was sitting on the edge of my seat the whole night, just waiting for her to really fall on her face, but that didn't seem to happen.

Saying that, I feel Biden still won the debate. I thought he stayed on point with the questions that were asked of him, he was very knowledgeable and surprisingly very respectful of Sarah Palin. He could have gotten down and dirty with her on some of the issues, but I liked that fact that he remained a gentleman. I just about lost it when he started to choke up about not knowing if his children were going to make it - referring to the accident his 1st wife had when she and his daughter were killed, leaving his two sons to take care of.

What did you think of the debate?

Thursday, October 2, 2008

Why can't she just answer one question out right?

Keep in mind, if McCain were to win the presidency (God forbid), Sarah Palin is one heartbeat away from becoming our President. Is this who you want running our country?

Sarah Palin can't name one Supreme Court Decision?


Sarah Palin can't name one newspaper she reads?


Compare Biden's interview with Katie Couric, to that of Sarah Palin.


Tonight is definitely going to be must see TV with the Vice Presidential Debate. I'm interested to see what comes out of her mouth. By the way, the debate is on this evening - 9PM Eastern, 8PM Central.

Sarah Palin's CBS Interview with Katie Couric

I didn't watch the interview the night that Sarah spoke because I was getting packed for our trip to Nashville. However, I was able to watch it online and I have to say it was excrutiating to see. Sarah Palin proves she is just not ready for the job at hand. Attached, you can watch a portion of the interview in which Couric says to Palin, "I'm just going to ask you one more time - not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation." Palin responds with "I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you." What kind of response is that of someone who could be a VP of our country?


This is another response from CNN Reporter, Jack Cafferty, on one of the questions Couric raised to Sarah Palin:


I'm looking so forward to seeing Joe Biden chew her up and spit her at Thursdays VP Debate. It will be something to see.

I promise I had nothing to do with Operation Code Pink last night!



Based on all of the protesters in the audience last night at the RNC, I would say it didn't go as smoothly as McCain would have liked.

"McCain Votes Against Vets" Demonstrator

I have several issues with McCain's speech, some of which I'll share.

McCain makes the following statement ~ "I’m running for President to keep the country I love safe, and prevent other families from risking their loved ones in war as my family has." If I'm not mistaken, isn't he one of the ones that voted to send our families into a country that we had no business being in, in the first place? He, along with President Bush and other members who voted for the war, have put thousands of families in harms way and for what? I keep hearing "we will be victorious in Iraq." Victorious over what? We invaded a country on the grounds that they had weapons of mass destruction, which they did not! We went after Saddam Hussein because he was considered a threat. Not to say that Saddam was not a threat, but Saddam was not the one responsible for 9/11. Once again we went to the wrong place at the wrong time looking for the wrong guy and for all the wrong reasons. It's an unjustified war and a war that needs to come to an end. Not later, but as soon as responsibly possible. My comments do not mean that I don't support our troops. I support them 110% if not more. However, I don't now and will not ever support those who voted to send our fellow Americans into a war without just cause!

McCain also says in his speech "I will ask Democrats and Independents to serve with me". How can he expect our service or our support after he bashes us? I don't know how you can go for 19 months bashing the views of Democrats and Independents and expect much support. If you can't show unity before the election, why would we think it would be any different after the fact. McCain specifically says he "will veto every bill that has earmarks". I'm afraid of what all McCain will end up using his veto power on. I'm afraid of the power he'll use period!

The biggest difference I noticed between the DNC and the RNC is that the DNC reflected people of all different race, age, religious background and sexual orientation who all came together in Unity to celebrate such a historic opportunity for our country. It was a celebration of what could be ~ Hope For Change and a Change We Can Believe In. I did not get that from the RNC. The RNC reflected one negative attack after another. I also didn't think McCain did a very good job at outlining what he plans to do for this country. He made specific reference to Palin's lack of experience by saying he "can’t wait until I introduce her to Washington". He can't wait to introduce her, because she's never been. I heard someone say the other day, "could you imagine, if McCain becomes President, Palin is just one heartbeat away from that spot". That's a scary thought to me. She is not ready to hold the position of the President.

Thank goodness we're only 59 days away from the Election!

By the way, the 1st Presidential Debate will be held on Friday, September 26, 2008.
