The "I LOVE Sarah Palin" Thread

[Bobbie]

I think the choice of Sarah Palin is a refreshing change for the Republican Party. I'm a lifelong Liberal and support Liberal causes. I'm disappointed in the Democratic Party ticket. I don't think they're in it to win it. I don't like Barack Obama and I don't like Joe Biden. They represent institutionalized politicians who seek to return us to a fantasy past that never existed. It's regressive and not PROgressive to vote for them. It's more of the same "We Hate Republicans" kind of democratic disaster that has kept us from standing up to Bush. All talk and no action...proven.

Sarah Palin represents best what our founding fathers intended when the country was founded. We've lost touch with the fact that "career politician" is a relatively new development. The American dream involves a lot of things, but it's well-documented that the intent was to have ordinary people in politics and to be involved in government. It is a government OF the people and BY the people...not just FOR the people. Nowhere does it say that a career in politics is required. Jesse Ventura is a prime example.

While some attack her lack of experience or her perceived intelligence, I think she's got plenty enough experience and intelligence to be President if McCain were to die. To think that her being a woman, a wife, and mother would interfere with her official duties is ludicrous.

Sorry, folks, I like her and I'm voting for them. I thought it was high time for a Water Cooler thread in support of her. I know I'm not alone. I don't want a hateful debate over her qualifications, so please direct those sentiments to those threads. There are several. Keep it clean and nice and Go Palin!

If you are a lifelong liberal, voting for McSame and Palin would be like voting for the antichrist. If you were a lifelong liberal, you would vote for Obama, despite his skin color.

I'm voting for the best candidate for women. Barack Obama's paternal heritage is one of female oppression. If you want to be walking around being told to wear a sheet on your head and never show your skin, then go ahead and vote for him.

I love Sarah Palin. She's a true Christian and a patriot who is watching out for all Americans. I've never been so proud to be an American. God Bless America!

Soooo, I take your voting for McCain only because you like the VP candidate?????

I am voting for both of the candidates. McCain's entire career is something most of us could only dream of in terms of achievement and patriotism. No one's qualifications even come close. He's amply qualified to be President and I support him fully!

And Obama is the savior?

He is the candidate of change who brings Joe Biden and his 35 years of inside the beltway gravy train politics....and his financial advisers ran Freddie/Fannie into the ground....

You familiar with the term......DUH?

Soooo... the government telling you what you can and can't do with your body isn't oppressive?

Skin color has nothing to do with it for some of us and the only ones that seem to play the race card are "DEMO-RATS" !

What has to do with NOT voting for Nobama is the fact that I don't want to live in a Socialist society !

And I'll be damned if I'm voting for someone to be Pesident of the U.S..............Nobama, who has less political experience than the Reps. V.P. choice !

Palin has done a lot more than Obama has dreamed he could do.

Being a likable woman will bring over the Hillary supporters.

It will be very interesting to see how she does when she debated Biden. She does have the "look" and personality which will make some forget how old McCain is.

So far, I've found very little with her that I find negative. I can't see where McCain could have made a better choice.

 

[Bobbie]

I think you're right, Jim. The debate will be the ultimate test. This woman has communications skills, more so than Obama, McCain, Biden, or even President Bush for that matter. She can talk the talk and, as we've seen with George W. Bush, not having that ability seriously affects a person's ability to lead and results in people calling into question their intelligence.

She's a brilliant speaker and I think the debate is going to be the deal-clincher for a lot of women. For me, it's just a no-brainer. We've got two clearly qualified people on the Republican ticket. On the Democratic side, we have a guy with virtually no experience running for President (his career in the Illinois legislature and the US Senate yield NO record of accomplishment whatsoever other than voting for other people's bills) and a slimy career politician Senator on the other side who dodged the draft during Vietnam while John McCain was being tortured by our enemies. Biden also has been a politician since he was 30, just after he finished law school.

McCain was a career military man and retired when he was 44 to run for Congress for the next step in his career. He's a born leader and his career in Congress as both a Representative and a Senator has shown that. He's a leader, not a follower like Obama. He's also not indoctrinated with his Party's politics to the point where he doesn't vote his conscience.

Palin is a maverick who has more experience and has made more decisions in her short political career than Barack Obama. Being Governor of our largest state and mayor of a smaller city is enough experience for me. She can govern at the state and local level and has proven that leadership...that's no different than most of our Presidents, the majority of whom were not Senators but came from the State and Local level to be President.

The democratic ticket is simply flawed and representative of the PAST and not the FUTURE.

Personally I can't stand to listen to Obama with his condescending tone, and that loud mouthed want-to-be old man who he picked as his VP is no better, the prefect match for a disastrous presidency.


One look with consideration at Osama’s church where he raised his kids and spend 20 years and then disowned when it no longer helped his political cause--- well to any rational thinking individual it's my strong opinion you would have to be a fool to be snookered by him or his snooty nosed wife. His wife hates this county and very obviously shares that whack job of a preacher's views who spews hate weekly with a bunch of screaming followers. If that isn’t enough to vote against Obama, maybe you should join his church and or send them your money promoting their sickness.

So, bringing hope to millions of Americans is condescending?

his snooty nosed wife.

Can anyone say Cindy McCain?

His wife hates this county

What county? Cook county IL.?

Yeah, I know you meant "country." Please provide proof that Michelle Obama "hates" this country.

If that isn’t enough to vote against Obama, maybe you should join his church and or send them your money promoting their sickness.

If wanting a better tomorrow for all of us is a sickness, then I'll be happy to spend the next 4 years in an infirmary...

In her thesis she comes across as uncomfortable seeing things from a different perspective than others....her remark about ' feeling proud to be an American for the first time in her life'.....makes one think that she does in fact harbor some negative sentiment.
As for outright hate......if shes Liberal....well?

You know...I love my daughter like there's no tomorrow, but there are times that I am disappointed in her. Do those moments of disappointment mean I hate her?

Living in a country that for the first time has actually nominated a "person of color" for the office of president is a moment of pride for many. Compare that to the undercurrent of much racism...even in this decade...and you might feel a bit disappointed. Kind of like when my kid aces all her serves in the volleyball tournament, I'm really proud. But when she breaks her cellphone I am a bit disappointed - it doesn't mean that I "hate her"....because Michelle Obama was disappointed in racial differences she's seen even in her lifetime and was expressing great pride in an historical moment in American History, you really think that she "hates her country"?

IMHO, the right blowing this line out of proportion is kind of like the OJ trial turning into the Dennis Furhman trial - find a guy who uttered the N word in the past 10 years and suddenly, instead of focusing whether or not Simpson killed his wife, we have someone dead set on framing an innocent man.

HOPE. You call socialism a form of hope! Even after looking at it's miserable failure world wide where it failed and now they are going democratic---is that what you mean?
