ACORN Admist on Video that they ARE Partisan and Support Barack Obama

Can you believe these people are using the money WE gave them to elect their buddy and close friend Barack Obama? Why haven't those folks we elected to represent us in Washington discovered this and stopped it? Why haven't they been yelling bloody murder about the way our taxes are being used? If nothing else you'd think they cared about their own future! I noticed on YouTube that only around 20,000 people have watched these videos. It should be 20,000,000. Let's make it happen, let's get the word out about ACORN using their own words! Thanks to Barracuda Babes for finding these videos.

There's a difference between intelligent and slick!

Some lib types were discussing Sarah Palin's intelligence earlier today. It was clear they had received the daily-lib-robot-talk-memo as they simply parroted the same things that the Obamaprogrammers dictated.

They had fairly high praise for John McCain: they honored his service (gag) and didn't doubt his commitment to our country (double gag) but they had to question his judgement (ah ha, finally the real point!). He picked someone without experience who didn't have a command of the issues, who had only been a governor for a few years, who, who, who.... tell me that you can't complete the list!

The put her at the bottom of the scale in comparison to Obama, Biden and John McCain.

I listened, then interjected that it seemed to me they were getting slick and polished mixed up with intelligence.

I think John McCain is about as real as they get coming from Washington, but there's no denying you have to have a degree of slick and the ability to schmooze if you're going to last in Washington. He knows the ropes and still manages to be a maverick which is commendable!

Joe Biden doesn't schmooze, he oozes and fawns and is a chameleon talker. His colors change according to the makeup of the crowd. He likes to hear himself talk but doesn't listen to what he's saying.

Obama? They say he's a master at talking. He is the rock star who can do no wrong and say no wrong. He's just slick. He is not necessarily an accomplished speaker if you listen to his hemming and hawing, but he knows how to stir a crowd.

Sarah Palin is real. She can run circles around Biden and Obama, but because the liberal press is out to get her (they hear and obey), it's virtually impossible to get past their wall to reach people. Thank goodness for YouTube, videos and other mechanisms that bypass the mainstream media!

Thank goodness for blogs and websites and the Internet. Thank goodness for talk radio.

Sarah is down to earth and real, which is something that the media and many politicians have not encountered.

They're scared of Sarah. When I hear Sarah Palin talk I don't think "slick", I think George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and politicians of old who had character, stood for principles and fought for our freedoms.

I applaud John McCain for his character and his judgement in choosing this stellar running mate.

Why are they still going after Sarah?

I know this is old news to some of you, but I just read a story that says Track Palin was one of four boys who vandalized some buses in Wasilla, Alaska. The "Democratic Underground" is one that started the lies and there is no telling how many others also helped to spread this malicious rumor.

What is it with these nitwits? Why can't they leave decent people alone? Why do they have to try and bring them down to their levels of depravity? How can human beings be so mean and yet consider themselves to be good people.

There is not a whiff of truth in the rumor and I think it is just that they can not stand it that she has such a true-blue American son who wants to go fight for his country. These hounds tried to make it sound like Track Palin was forced to go into the military rather than face criminal charges and they exaggerated the situation with the degree of damage done to the buses in question.

Track Palin had nothing to do with destroying or vandalizing the buses and he joined the Army under honorable conditions.

I can't begin to imagine the real factual problems the media and the Democrats would find if they started digging in their own back yard but they will cover up for their buddies and friends.

Catching up on reading, sharing on earmarks and John McCain

I've been away for a few days and haven't updated the blog. I'm going to play catch up and do a marathon of posting things I've received but haven't seen on other blogs yet. This one was forwarded to me by a freind in the Read My Lipstick Network!

John McCain's record on this and on many other issues is being SO distorted by the lefties, but who can keep up and really get to the bottom of things?

From a Barracuda Babe:

Council For Citizens Against Government Waste Fact Checks Barack Obama's Record

Tom Schatz From The Council For Citizens Against Government Waste Fact Checks Barack Obama's And Joe Biden's Spending Records:

Fox News
September 22, 2008

Fox News' Greg Jarrett: "You focused on two things really as I understand it, earmarks, and we will get to it in a moment, but wasteful spending talk to us about how the candidates break down on this.

Council For Citizens Against Government Waste's Tom Schatz: "There is a long track record in both cases, some of which goes to Senator Obama in the Illinois Legislature. We do not analyze the states. But just on the votes in 2007, Senator Obama voted correctly only 10% of the time, and Senator McCain voted 11 out of the 35 times. He did vote correctly every time. His lifetime rating 88% is the sixth-highest in the Senate. Senator Obama's lifetime rating is 18% in the years that he has been a Senator. So there is a vast difference on the question of spending and taxes and those results are consistent with other analyses and organizations that track all of these various votes."

Jarrett: "Is Obama at the bottom?"

Schatz: "He is not quite at that the bottom. Actually, Senator Biden is at the bottom. He has a zero rating in 2007. But Senator Obama is pretty close at 10%."

Jarrett: "So Biden would be the most wasteful in your judgment, and again you are a non-partisan group, would be the most wasteful Senator?"

Schatz: "He wasn't the only one. There were 13 Senators with a zero rating, but he was one of those that failed to vote a single time to cut waste or cut taxes are even preserve tax cuts."

Jarrett: "And again, we are out of time, but John McCain, zero earmarks. Right?

Schatz: "That is it. Zero."

Jarrett: "Big goose egg. I mean that is amazing in Congress."

Schatz: "It is difficult to say no, but he is one of the few who has."

Powerful Thought-Provoking Letter to the Editor!

I found this on the Superwoman Sarah Palin blog along with some great commentary:

Dear Editor, Times-Dispatch:

Each year I get to celebrate Independence Day twice. On June 30 I celebrate my independence day, and on July 4 I celebrate America's. This year is special, because it marks the 40th anniversary of my independence.

On June 30, 1968, I escaped Communist Cuba, and a few months later, I was in the United States to stay. That I happened to arrive in Richmond on Thanksgiving Day is just part of the story, but I digress.

I've thought a lot about the anniversary this year. The election-year rhetoric has made me think a lot about Cuba and what transpired there.

In the late 1950s, most Cubans thought Cuba needed a change, and they were right. So when a young leader came along, every Cuban was at least receptive.

When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced the old system, the press fell in love with him. They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in.

When he said he would help the farmers and the poor and bring free medical care and education to all, everyone followed. When he said he would bring justice and equality to all, everyone said, 'Praise the Lord.'

And when the young leader said, 'I will be for change and I'll bring you change,' everyone yelled, 'Viva Fidel!'

But nobody asked about the change, so by the time the executioner's guns went silent, the people's guns had been taken away.
By the time everyone was equal, they were equally poor, hungry, and
oppressed.
By the time everyone received their free education, it was worth nothing.
By the time the press noticed, it was too late, because they were now working for him.
By the time the change was finally implemented, Cuba had been knocked down a couple of notches to Third-World status.

By the time the change was over, more than a million people had taken to boats, rafts, and inner tubes. You can call those who made it ashore anywhere else in the world the most fortunate Cubans.

And now I'm back to the beginning of my story.

Luckily, we would never fall in America for a young leader who promised change without asking, what change? How will you carry it out? What will it cost America?

Would we?'

Be scared Obama, be scared...

Yeah well, he's already scared and that's fairly obvious by the way he's been reacting. Sarah Palin has him on the run! She's energizing the world, not just the Republicans in the United States!

I am so excited she's on the ticket. I ordered a bunch of bumper stickers and told my friends I had them. They're pretty much gone 'cause everyone I know, Democrats, Independents and Republicans, wants a bumper sticker.

Another one that's going out the door are the NObama stickers. I don't have one but I'm seeing them all over.

I'm reading the book Obamanation. It should be required reading. If a fraction of what is in the book is true no one who's a true-blue American should consider voting for Obama. It's a very well documented book and very credible.

I'll try to be better at getting on here and supporting the McCain - Palin super team! We have to get them elected, the future of our country depends on it.

More reasons to be scared of Sarah!

Sarah Palin was superb on her interview with Charlie Gibson last night. I know the Dems are trashing her left and right and are parsing every single little nuance, but they are really, really having to reach, and take things way out of context, to "get" her.

Imagine the pressure she must have been under! Every little move she makes is being watched and talked about. Her background is being torn apart and misrepresented if there's any way possible to stretch it into a negative.

Can you imagine what they'd find if 30 sharp-shooters started digging into your background? I'd be in trouble the way these guys twist things. Some wouldn't even need to be twisted given some of my wild younger days.

Not one of the people casting stones would be casting them if they were held to an even lesser standard than they're holding Sarah Palin to. (that is a really grammatically bad sentence... I'll try to do better, sometimes it's too hard to re-structure a sentence to make it right ;-)

She did great. I like her more every time I hear here. The more they throw the bogus trash at her the more passionate I become about supporting her.

Sarah Palin Rocks!

Who'd have ever guessed so much dynamite could be packed in such a pretty package? Yes, I'm a woman and I'm straight, but she is a good looking woman. Her husband is not bad on the eyes either. Beautiful kids, too.

She packed a wallop last night! I've had so much fun listening to the Democrats and the media trying to get a handle on her all day today! They don't know which end is up!

I imagine they won't stay that way for long though, they'll come up with some attack that will raise a liberal eyebrow or two.

What's funny is you can't turn on the radio or the TV without hearing Sarah Palin's name! She has turned everything upside down hasn't she?

Can you imagine what it'll be like having her up in Washington? Oh, it's going to be so much fun watching her as she works with John McCain to turn DC on its heels! I'm going to love it.

No matter what party you're from you have to know that it is going to be great to see the Washington insiders as they try to figure out how to handle a maverick who knows their secrets and knows how to do an end run around them! Couple McCain with the lady who put the Governor's airplane on eBay and life is going to be interesting in a few months when they take over.

Take that liberal bloggers... you're creating a strong force FOR Sarah Palin...

The title has nothing to do with the article below . But it's backfiring you liberal dummies. You're creating a monster and it's a beautiful, talented, strong group of women who're tired of you talking out of one side of your mouth with platitudes that don't extend to your feet, as in action and walking the walk. Tired of hearing one thing and seeing the opposite. It's time to take the media back from the media. Republicans and Independents, raise your children to write for the media, or better yet, just buy up the media conglomerates and do it right. Attacking Sarah Palin has shown many of us just who you are and what you really believe. You're firing up a nation and it's not in the way you intended.

In O'Fallon, Cheers For McCain And Palin

O'FALLON, Mo. -- John McCain presented his new vice presidential running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, to thousands of cheering Missouri supporters at a sun-drenched Sunday afternoon rally at the home of St. Charles County's minor league baseball team.

"She's exactly who I need," the Arizona senator said at a jam-packed T.R. Hughes Ballpark. "She's exactly what the country needs to fight the same old Washington politics of me first and country second."

Many in the crowd seemed to agree, breaking out at one point in a chant of "Sar-ah, Sar-ah."
Wendy Riemann, a McCain spokeswoman, said about 23,000 people passed through security magnetometers to get into the park. They were in the stands, on the field and in other areas. An official with the River City Rascals, the team based at the park, gave a crowd estimate of 14,000.

The rally was in the heart of St. Charles County, an area rich with Republican votes where the size of the GOP turnout has been key in closely contested statewide races in recent years. The candidates' appearance was one in a series they plan before arriving at this week's Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn.

McCain recounted Palin's election as Alaska governor in 2006 and how she took on a "corrupt" political culture in her home state that he said had become a national disgrace.

He also said Palin had vetoed "one big pork-barrel bill after another" and, as a former union member, knows the struggles of average working people to pay their bills.

"When you get to know her, you're going to be as impressed as I am," McCain said. "She's got grit, integrity, good sense and fierce devotion to common good."

Palin said she had fought special interests, lobbyists, oil companies and "the good-old boy network." She also said she had opposed the oft-criticized "Bridge to Nowhere" — a sparsely populated island — that an Alaskan in Congress had tried to get funded.

Thousands stood for more than an hour in heat that reached nearly 90 degrees to get into the ballpark. At one point, the line to get into the ballpark stretched for about a half-mile.

Many said they came to see Palin, hoping to learn more about her.

"She's a powerful speaker," Kris Weidenbenner, 49, of St. Charles, said afterward.

Weidenbenner took his spot along the third-base line soon after gates opened at 1:30, a half hour early. Standing in the hot sun for about four hours to see McCain and Palin, who began speaking about 5 p.m., "was worth it," he said.

Linda Bauwens, 58, of Weldon Spring, said she was impressed with Palin's record as governor. Her husband, Ron Bauwens, also 58, said Palin is "going to be a bulldog" for the GOP ticket.
Kathy Pfeffer, 56, of Fenton, cited Palin's reform and budget reduction efforts. "She's proven she can do it just as good as a man, if not better," she said.

Earlier Sunday, a top Missouri Democrat -- Sen. Claire McCaskill -- criticized Palin as a "risky" pick during a news conference in Bridgeton. "It shows he is perfectly willing to abandon the modern middle and wrap himself around the radical right in this country," McCaskill said.
But the choice of Palin has been lauded by many social conservatives who like her strong anti-abortion position, among other stances.

McCain and Palin arrived at the park after visiting an emergency command center in Jackson, Miss., to check on preparations for dealing with Hurricane Gustav on the Gulf Coast.

More, more, more... not everyone in the media is whacked out

John McCain has faced a steep enough task in gaining the presidency. He carries the burden of an unpopular incumbent, a controversial war and polls showing that a large majority of Americans view the country heading down the wrong track. Now the Republican National Convention has been scaled back, the Arizona senator losing a full opportunity to define his candidacy for millions of Americans watching at home. More, the reason for curbing the convention activities is Hurricane Gustav, a reminder of the colossal failings of President Bush three years when Katrina battered New Orleans.

To his credit, McCain move decisively to craft the necessary response. In that way, he countered the searing memories, and gained a measure of separation from the Bush White House.

That bid for independence played an important part in his selection of a running mate. The choice of Sarah Palin, the Alaska governor, was stunning, to say the least, even a few days later. Clearly, McCain sees in Palin something of himself, the maverick willing to challenge the party establishment and the reformer capable of reaching across party lines to serve the larger interest. Whatever the flaws in the selection, the McCain message couldn't have been more plain in choosing the first woman for a Republican ticket: He intends to shake up Washington.

Ask Ted Stevens, the legendary Alaska senator, now indicted, a representative man, in many ways, of the political regime that Palin challenged when she captured the governor's office two years ago...

The Democrats are SCARED of Sarah Palin!

I know. I used to be one. Then they turned away from every value and tenant that made the Party special. They became vicious. It became Party above People. It became Party above Principles.

The Democrats give lip service to doing good. They don't care and they do an excellent job of painting Republicans as the Party that doesn't care.

The horrible attacks they are making on Sarah Palin and her family sink to new lows.

I will be voting for the Sarah Palin ticket.
