McCain's Presser Brings Palin-mania Back...
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 6:45 PM
I was back on MSNBC today, once again, defending Sarah Palin against the liberals -- and talking about her bright future.  (McCain's press conference today -- where he discussed Palin's future makes this newsworthy again...)  By the way, I've got to hand it to MSNBC's Chris Jansing for asking my liberal opponent some good follow-up questions...

McCain And Obama Team Up For Amnesty
It's coming folks, Sen. McCain has already assured Obama he will help him pass amnesty for illegal aliens. Now is the time to prepare to defeat it again. Remember who is on the side of the citizens and who sides with the illegal aliens and their employers. Vote accordingly.

I wonder where DNC Joe is. We need him at times like these to remind us how "conservative" McCain is, and how Mac is the only one that can beat Hillary.

Now that the election is over Mac is returning to his old self, like a dog returning to its vomit.

I am not sure what happened to the "I got the message" message.

correct me if i am wrong but it was mccains team that ravaged palin the week after the election not liberals.

who gave the media the quote,

"wasilla hillbillies looting neiman-marcus from coast to coast"

why it was republicans.

I acquired a McCain/Palin bumper sticker and never put it on my car.

After the election I cut off the McCain part and am now flying my 'Palin' colors.

Still likin the 'Thrilla from Wasilla'. The arctic fox can still field dress a democrat.

Palin mania till 2012
Like most conservatives I love Sarah Palin and I want her to run in 2012 and I even have a Palin 2012 bumper sticker and some shirts as well (so does my whole family). I think Sarah is doing the right thing stringing out her name in the media over the course of time. Right now she is the second most popular political name after Barak Obama. She is wildly popular with the base and she needs to maintain her popularity and the base's loyalty till 2012 and I think she is smart enough to keep herself in the news over the course of time for the next three years. I do not believe that "Palin Mania" is going away anytime soon.

We are ready for our turn at doing the hard work to bring America back. We move forward with confidence that Sarah Palin will lead us to an America that will be freer, more secure and better than it is today. We are ready and look forward with optimism to the days and years ahead. Knowing that at the end of this exciting chapter, not only will we have our first woman President, but that America will be a shining city on a hill once again.

Presidential Election 2008
When I went to vote on Novenber4th. I saw illegals standing, waiting in line to cast their vote. The poll workers were not doing their job by not properly checking for correct information.
I can already hear the liberals, saying,
"You are a Racial Pig"
Call me what yoy want, but I call myself an American of Mexican Decsent. I can pick out an illegal out of a crowd just as they can pick me out of a crowd, that is a Mexican/American.

You can't win your arguments on their merits, so you call someone dumn, dimwit, ignorant, hill billy, etc.

If you want to question intelligence, ask yourelf why Obama will not release he college transcripts. It would be interesting to see how the affirmative action student in an Ivy league school performed. My guess is his grades are probably worse than W's. It is hard for me to respect the first president that I am more qualified than he to be the commander in cheif...

along with Romney, and Rudy.

WHy is the media trumpeting
for Sarah Palin? Oh yea. They want her has someone who will challenge Obama in 12, and get her perty little face smashed in the rocks of reality. It's a sure landslide to put the beautyqueen up against the sitting president. She peaked too soon, had her day in the sun, now needs to go tend to that family she has negelcted. I understand in some circles, it makes a great photo op. In Reality, it's a loser. Note last election cycle. 1 in 5 conservatives voted for Obama because of Palin being on the ticket. Stop extending her 15 minutes, and let the GOP move past the bigot squad and nominate a SERIOUS Candidate who can challenge Obama on EVERY issue, including family and friends.

"1 in 5 conservatives voted for Obama because of Palin being on the ticket."

Wrong. No conservatives voted for Obama. Some Republicans? Maybe. But no conservatives.

OMT, Americans have a two week attention span, and four years is a very long time in politics. We all saw the VP debate. Palin is obviously quick, smart, humorous, conservative, and attractive. Now, she has advisors beyond Alaska and the oil and gas industries.

That said, I suggest you and other libs ignore her altoghther.

Dose of garbage :)
"If you want to question intelligence, ask yourelf why Obama will not release he college transcripts."

That's not really questioning intelligence, you dimwit. BTW: Are you concerned about Palin's transcripts? Of course not.

"It would be interesting to see how the affirmative action student in an Ivy league school performed."

Well, I think we all know that he performed pretty well, as he served as Editor of the Law Review. You know what that is don't you? Never mind.

"My guess is his grades are probably worse than W's."

Outstanding analysis. You should be the next guest on Hannity's America: "Dimwit Dose Estimates Obama is actually dumber than W!" Ground breaking stuff. Right up there with Andy Martin.

"It is hard for me to respect the first president that I am more qualified than he to be the commander in cheif..."

You had me there for a minute--I actually thought you may be more qualified! Then I saw that you had difficulty spelling "cheif." I realized then that your role as garbage collector suits you just fine.
Dose of Reality writes: Wednesday, November, 26, 2008 11:28 AM
You and Whose Army
If BHO's transcripts were that outstanding,a little common sense would tell you that he would have had them front and center in his campaign. We hide what we don't want others to see. Being and affirmative action editor of a college periodical is no substitute for measuring academic perfromance than 7 or 8 years worth of actual grades obtained.

If you can't win on the facts, attack personally, or on the internet, attack the spelling of the person you disagree with....priceless.
Jane the Wife and Mom writes: Wednesday, November, 26, 2008 11:30 AM
Whre are Palins transcripts?
It must be hard to track them down from all the colleges she attened until her parents cut her off at the $$$$. Wher are hers? She's a C student at best. Maybe that's what your hiding.

For 'the wife'
Bristol and Levi are having the baby and don't consider it a punishment like barry. With parents like Sarah and Todd in your corner the odds are in your favor.

They are taking responsibility unlike many who lightly consider pregnancy and abortion and the long term effects.

It not only affects the child who wasn't born but the mother who aborted it.

These are choices with eternal consequences. To deep for ya jane? Consider staying on the porch.

Props to Bristol and Levi. It won't be easy but it will be worth it.

I strongly suspect that
the females who are anti-Palin might repeat might get picked up in a sailor bar at closing time -- if the sailors were particularly hard up for a woman!

Using the females one sees on TV or in news photos as models, I believe that those one cannot see (bloggers, etc.) also fall into this group. I suspect that the older ones were part of the crowd from the 'Sixties and "Seventies who wore granny eye glasses, raggedy granny dresses, had dirty ankles, steam ironed hair and zits the size of .45 projectiles. The younger ones are likely products of the above mentioned females and had their brains pumped full of left-wing bilge by their mothers or college professors. Thier fathers are likely of the same ilk, otherwise they would not have married such poor creatures.

They are a jealous, mean bunch who has no capability of recognizing a real woman who has actually accomplished something entirely on her own. No weeping, wailing or wearing sackcloth and ashes on the part of Sarah Palin -- she just gets 'er done!

Serving in the Navy should make one worldly and able to evaluate what is Bravo Sierra and what is not bravo sierra; however, this does not always happen. You, like many, tend to believe the garbage put out in the media without following up on later events. Damn near everything intially broadcast about Sarah has been proven wrong or badly distorted.

I served 34 years in the Navy and 13 in the Merchant Marine. And, by God, I'll take Sarah Palin as my commander-in-chief in a tic!

And, so would one hell of a lot of other military folks with whom I have contact.

Palin was a 'C' student who went ot several colleges over 5 or 6 years to get her degree in ...journalism. You don't get to be editor of the law review because you are a C student.

Palin should show hers first, if it is so important.

I know BS when I see it. Palin has the market on Bravo Sierra. She's out to a mark, most times.Because I don't like her, and will NEVER vote for her, am I deemed a bad person? There are many in the GOP I don't care for, and even more in the DNC I don't care for. I refuse to walk lock step and wear a brown shirt just to fit in with some in the GOP.

Comment that Palin was a "C" Student.
You do know don't you, that Obama left his community college while he was using cocaine. I'm sure that he was not an "A" student.

Then, he has refused to release his grades after getting into prestigious schools on bad grades from HS.

Palin is 10 times brighter than Obama. But, alas, she was not a Community Organizer, and she is not a minority.

Keep the Palin thing going, it just reflects the left's fear of her.

But by all means, we want to see an official, non forged birth certificate for Obama. If he can't produce it, he will be the first illegal President in the history of the US. And that opens the door to all types of foriegners running for Pres of the US...

Sarah's folks couldn't afford to pay her way through college -- her father was a school teacher. Except for a small scholarship, she worked her way through college. You, if you really were in the Navy, should know how long it takes a person to do that. I know sailors and civilians who spent years getting a degree a bit at a time -- as money permitted.

I never seen anything that she was a C student. Even if she was, so what? You can track a goodly portion of government screwups to ivy league types -- some of which are called "smart" by the media. Lots of folks do not do well in school, but perform head and shoulders over those who do. You must know this from your naval service.

Oh, Obama never published anything while editor of the Law Review, or so it has been reported.

Sarah is a gutsy lady as proved by some of her actions as a commercial fisherwoman and a host of other things. Obama might be like Clinton -- s coward. He night not, but I've seen nothing that he has done worthly of respect. I sure wouldn't want him watching my back!

I doubt they will ever get married now that mom is not going to be the veep. They should consider adoption. IF they were so into marriage, that would have happend already. If your 'mature' enough to get pregnant, your mature enough to have the rings and make the baby legit. I pray this never happens to my daughter. If it did, I would counsel her to do one of two things. Either get married right away, and forget the big white wedding, or plan to give the baby up for adoption. At 17 and 18, and being a highschool drop out, I dare say that this is not what would want for my begining I would want for my daughter or my grandchild.

My parents had 9 children.
I paid my own way through college. I took me 4 hard years of working and going to school. So, that excuse is out the window for me. Hard work, hard work, hard work. No free rides, even for Sarah. I also had some scholorships. I went into the Navy with a degree that I EARNED from.. you guessed it. HARD WORK.

I applaud your position on marriage and adoption. I have friends who can't have children just adopted a baby girl from a teen who decided against aborting. It is a beautiful thing.

If Bristol doesn't get married she will still bring a child into this world. Lets hope they do the right thing.

Marriage for Bristol and Levi would be the best option though. That baby deserves a loving mother and father in the home.

And thank you for serving our country.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Obama's birth certifciate isn't
available either, and I can't for the life of me understand how so many can so easily disregard the very real possibility that he is not even a US Citizen, and therefore not eligible to even run for office of the President, much less hold it.

Many scoff and say, oh bull, he is a Citizen, don't worry about it, but Attorney At Law Phillip J. Berg has petitioned the court through Justice Souter to force Obama produce a valid, vaulted birth certificate by Dec. 1st 08. Obamacrimes.com
I am watching the site closely to see if Obama still refuses to privide the court with it, as he has done for nealy two years now with his (3) teams of highly paid lawyers.

the light of the designated conservative
In Governor Palin, the light of a designated conservative of the republican party shines brightly. She was the *only* bright spot in the whole 2008 Republican Presidential Race, as evidenced by how much she energized a despondent and disheartened base during the final weeks of the campaign.

Until she was nominated, I must admit that I was resigned to holding my nose and voting for McCain.
