Sarah Palin gives a great speech, Obama is then likened to Christ
Published September 4, 2008 by shane.vincent
First, everyone says Sarah Palin gave a great speech, then they want to attack her for not having wrote it by herself, blah, blah, and then saying that Obama is more Christlike because he was a community organizer.
No, really. Over at Daily Kos (a site with millions of hits per day), there is an article pointing out that Jesus Christ was a community organizer, just like Obama.
Now of course, the election is really between McCain and Obama, and as much as I might like Sarah Palin, she is not running for a position that has any real power (there are those people who claim that Bush is a puppet of Cheney, but there are also those who believe the world is really run by Royal Arch Freemasons with secret mind control).
I really don’t understand what the problem is with so called Republicans and Sarah Palin. You have Ben Stein saying that Sarah Palin scares him (why), you have Peggy Noonan, former Regan speechwriter, who was trash talking Palin.
Look I can understand that Palin was wondering why someone is allowed to be a state trooper when they taser their 10 year stepson, heck if she was a crack addict asking this about a Chicago cop, she would have more support from the media than this “uproar” that she is facing. But I guess there are different rules about protecting women, when the woman is related to a Republican elected official.
I can understand that a lot of people are attacking Palin, because they hate John McCain. The problem is that the so called liberal opposition actually likes a lot of the McCain platform, so they are resorting to personal attacks that do little to actually address the real issues. They also want to stem the tide of people switching from Hillary to McCain (I saw a democratic organizer from Chicago saying that they expect about 20% of Hillary voters to vote for McCain).
When I say talk about the real issues, I mean whether or not McCain will grant amnesty to illegal aliens (I think he will), which makes a mockery of all the security that legal citizens and vistors have to endure when they travel in the United States. Why are they caring about whether I am carrying a nail clipper on the plane, when we don’t seem to care about Mexican death squads in the United States? Heck we don’t even report it when Mexican Military elements come into the United States and detain Border Patrol agents.
I have no doubt that McCain will be slightly better than Obama. But slightly better than totally horrible isn’t worth voting for, especially since then when McCain does what he has constantly done, push the socialist agenda, and when it fails, people will blame the conservatives, and rightly so, since they embraced McCain because he picked Palin.
Don’t get me wrong. Obama will raise taxes just about everywhere, up to 60% more for social security, raising income taxes on small business, and taxing people who make more than some amount of money (supposedly $200,000 a year). Now as someone who had a business where I made some errors and then got a huge tax debt that I can never repay (and the IRS and the Illinois Department of Revenue like to send people around to follow me to make sure I am still poor) I can tell you that more government people running around shaking people upside down to see if they have any pennies left doesn’t leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling.
McCain did a great job picking Sarah Palin, because it got people talking about who she is, rather than what the policies are of Obama and McCain. The truth is that McCain and Obama co-sponsored a bill to improve healthcare in Mexico. America doesn’t need a president who thinks that we should be giving money to everyone, and if we are going to get one in any case, I would rather it be Obama, so that Americans are clear who is giving away the farm.
Unfortunately, somehow the Democrats decided that it made sense to attack Sarah Palin, rather than stay on target and point out how their candidate is better than McCain. This tactic seems to have gotten my mother (a life long Democratic, who told me that when she tried to vote for Ron Paul in the primary his name wasn’t on her ballot), to take a look at Palin and she seems to like Palin.
Unfortunately because of the incredible stupidity of the big media, she thinks that Palin is a reason to (possibly) vote for McCain, which is exactly what McCain needed to win.
The only way that McCain can lose is if the Democrats get off the Palin train, and get back to the issues, the problem is, that there aren’t very many issues that McCain and Obama differ on (the tax issue doesn’t really help Obama).

Boy, I’m neither a Democrat NOR a Republican, but it’s sure obvious that you have an ax to grind! Whew!
My point is that Palin is not running for President. Originally the runner up to President would become vice president, so this whole notion that Palin is soo important is a bunch of garbage. Johnson and Kennedy hated each other, Clinton only met Al Gore once or twice before Al Gore became vice president.
My axe to grind is with the crap that people are feed from the media as they put on a big show trying to make people think that there is some real difference between two functionally identical candidates.
None of these knows as much as Mccain. AND I BELIEVE MOST HAS READ ALL ABOUT OBAMA,IF NOT, THEY NEED TO LOOK, AND FIND OUT ALL THERE IS.AND NONE THAT DOES THIS, WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA. WAKE UP AND HELP OUR COUNTRY AND OUR CHILDREN. THE MEDIA IS A SHAMEFUL BUNCH, FOR NOT TELLING IT LIKE IT IS AND THEY HAVENT, OR I WOULD HAVE READ IT, AND THERE HASENT BEEN ANY, BUT TIME AND GOD, WILL BRING IT TO GOD LOVEING PEOPLE, THINK YOU LORD.
Look…I’m voting for McCain. But part of the problem are some of the people that Palin has “paled” around with religiously and McCain has courted them has well. These are the people who belive that the Freemasons control the world and and worship Satan and are out to create an anti-Christ kingdom. Sarah appointed a guy who believes this stuff to the Alaska Board on suicide prevention.
The thing is…people who believe this are NUTS.
McCain is my candidate, but both he and Palin have created their own problems by associating with religious nutbags the same way Obama has with looney pastors and former terrorists.
