PC, just in case you came here to bash Palin:

Who is better qualified for being president:
Palin, or Romney?

ROMNEY ANTI-PALIN
"Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012," says one former Romney aide, now working for McCain-Palin. "The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney. He's in charge on November 5th."

Romney has kept a low profile nationally since being denied the vice presidential nomination. He is currently traveling for the National Republican Congressional Committee in support of some House members, and has attended events for a handful of other House members who have sought his support, but he has traveled little for the McCain-Palin ticket. "He said the only time he'd travel for us is if we assured him that national cameras would be there," says a McCain campaign communications aide. "He's traveled to Nevada and a couple other states for us. That's about it."

Should McCain-Palin not win next week, Romney is expected to mount another presidential run, though it isn't clear that he has handled himself particularly well since losing the nomination. He failed to support or espouse conservative positions on the economic bailout bill in an effective or meaningful way, and he has turned down opportunities to endorse and work for conservative candidates in House or Senate seats unless they were assured of winning.

The most glaring oversight was Romney's refusal to do a phone recording for Massachusetts Republican Jeff Beatty, who is challenging Sen. John Kerry.

Romney = transparency
Mitt will not win the next nomination process. Many Republcians may want him, but he will not win. He is to elite, stuck up , totally out of touch with the american people in lower classes. Im referring to those who earn under 30,000 and well into the poverty level. Folks on skid row, having to rely on recue missions for their sustenance. Sarah fits the bill better than Mitt. However, you might look to a younger candidate that may have those qualifications as well depending on what he does with his state of Louisiana. Of course, Im referring to Gov. Bobby Jindal. Before the Republicans can affectively nominate either of these latter candidates, the party will have to experience a major re-birth. In other words, yes, being politically born again. Focusing not on wealth, nor the elitist agenda's, they will have to focus more on the physically poor and indigent. Yes, focus on the democratic issues but keep the Republcan morality in check.
There is nothing wrong with the Democratic Party except for the fact that they are power hungry and desire bigger government for control over the people, and their pro-choice stance could be redefined and still keeping it within Godly standards. Time will tell.

You're going to have to do better than the Prowler. Nothing he says is accurate, and he's a big Romney hater.

No one has done more for the party and McCain/Palin than Romney. He raised 20 mil for McCain, ate his own 40 mil debt so that folks would contribute to the party and to McCain, has been everywhere for McCain nearly every single day since he dropped out and has campaigned for dozens, not a handful, of republicans. You can't turn on the TV without seeing Mitt propping up McCain and Palin.

The facts are out there, Synth. You just need the courage to believe them. We know what your motivation is with Romney - you are one of the original and worst Anti-Mormon bigots on TH.

Get a grip, Romney is the frontrunner. He's working with the RNC, he's the one most are going to turn to after next Tues.

I suspect a little hell will break out between the Romney and Palin camps for a while, but in the end, Sarah won't be able to produce much more than winks and kisses. She simply doesn't have the intellect, talent, experience, articulation, leadership, character, or work ethic to match Romney, or Jindal.

McCain is lukwarm on Palin
Very telling. The stories must be true that the campaign is in a meltdown, and McCain has got to be hot over all the problems Palin caused him. One blunder after another has been the theme since he selected her.

Palin Doesn't Inspire Confidence Here
The GOP will go the way of the Whigs if they will not be the party to stand up for American citizens, American sovereignty and the rule of law. Palin does not think we can/should enforce our immigration laws. I know I will not support any more cheap labor importers.

March for McCain
I and another member of teamsarah.org, are organizing a (last-minute) NATIONAL ‘MARCH’ for McCain/Palin 2008 this Sunday, called the ‘MILLION MCCAIN MARCH’. We are planning for every city in every state to be represented to show our support for the McCain/Palin candidacy (and some perhaps just opposed to the Obama/Biden one). We are absolutely appalled at the overwhelming bias of the liberal media, and we’re making our ’silenced’ voices heard this Sunday. While there will surely be other rallies throughout the next few days, this is a concerted effort for a NATIONAL CALL OF SUPPORT, and to oppose the policies of the Democratic candidate. I myself am a registered Independent, who would have voted for Hillary Clinton, and due to her ‘defeat’ of the nomination, and the utter disrespect which Obama showed to her and Bill Clinton, will be voting for McCain/Palin. There is also a website, puma08.com, which has ALOT of angry Hillary voters who are voting for McCain/Palin. We would GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT for this endeavor, and would love to have a NATIONAL FRONT to oppose the Obama INFOMERCIAL.
Thank you for your informative reporting, and again, please help by giving us a ‘plug’.
Sincerely,
Brooke Emery
Miami, FL

(flyer sample)

MARCH for MCCAIN!

Sunday, November 2, starting at 12 noon, in EVERY city and state in America, McCain supporters will join in showing their support for their candidates.

If you would like to be a part of this National show of support for McCain/Palin 2008 for the MILLION MCCAIN MARCH, please email millionmccainmarch@yahoo.com, to coordinate meeting times and places. (pls. leave msg with name, your city/state/zip, and a major ‘location’ you are near, so we can direct you to the right place.

We want to have McCain/Palin supporters at every major intersection to show all of the McCain/Palin voters that we are ALIVE and KICKING, and that the POLLS are WRONG! Let’s show that WE LOVE AMERICA!

Sarah Palin nightmares.
Dearest Palin, I am not your "garl" nor am I your "garlfriend." Women can also be sexist and very much human chauvinists.

I am having Sarah Palin nightmares. I dreamt last night that she was a member of a club where they rode snowmobiles and wore the claws of drowned and starved polar bears around their necks. I have a particular thing for Polar Bears.
I need Polar Bears.

The earth, in Palin's view, is here to be taken and plundered. The wolves and the bears are here to be shot and plundered. The oil is here to be taken and plundered. Iraq is here to be taken and plundered. As she said herself of the Iraqi war, "It is a task from God."

She does not believe women who are raped and incested and ripped open against their will should have a right to determine whether they have their rapist's baby or
not.

She does not believe in sex education or birth control. I imagine her daughter was practicing abstinence and we know how many babies that makes.

I believe we hold this election in our hands. This vote is a vote that will determine the future not just of the U.S. but of the planet. It will determine whether we
create policies to save the earth or make it forever uninhabitable for humans. It will determine whether we move towards dialogue and diplomacy in the world or whether we escalate violence through invasion, undermining and attack. It will determine whether we go for oil, strip mining, coal burning or invest our money in alternatives that will free us from dependency and destruction. It will determine if money gets spent on education and healthcare or whether we build more and more methods of killing. It will determine whether America is a free open tolerant society or a closed place of fear, fundamentalism and aggression.

What you are saying is what Obama is saying, Fundamentally Transformed, you mean eliminate good so you can continue in your downward spiral lacking morals. Meaning you will try to shut down the voice of conservatism, meaning you can do what you want and not have to accept responsibility for your actions, meaning its ok for Obama to have his own militia and if anyone gets out of line Obama's goons will go to your door and demand you not resist his change?
What fear are you talking about?
The reality of Fear is you putting a man in there that wants to radically change this country to be Obama's Country! He has already changed our flag and our presidential seal.
You want us to be Tolerant while you are Intolerant? If you have nightmares of Sarah it is because she is the good and you desire to live on the dark side of reality.
Go Sarah, Haunt Krista's Dreams!!!
sounds kinda silly huh Krista?

WAKE UP AMERICANS THIS ISN'T THE CHANGE YOU WERE LOOKING FOR. THIS MAN IS OUT TO RADICALLY CHANGE OUR COUNTRY AND YOU WILL SIT BACK OUT OF YOUR OWN IGNORANCE AND LET IT HAPPEN!

Palin on immigration
(Thanks, Virginia Patriot)

"Governor, let me ask you about immigration. How many undocumented immigrants are there in Alaska?"

I don't know, I don't know. That's a good question." (She doesn't know? Why am I not surpised?)


"As governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they all should be deported?"

"There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant -there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants- not only economically is that just an impossibility but that's not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue that we face with illegal immigration." (She always does this -- she tacs on a bunch of words at the end of every sentence to make it seem like she actually has something to say.)

"Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants?"

"No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They've got to follow the bar, and we have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides."

"To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?"

"I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country."

BTW - what did she just say6 and what is her policy? Oh, that's right. She has none. Every answer she give to every question is mangled and indicipherable.
