Well let’s see…according to what I read and heard Friday, some of the attacks on Sarah Palin – Super-mom/Super-Governor/Super-Reformer, from Camp Obama and their army of Blog Thugs, with a little help from the ”Male-stream” media, include:
1. She was a beauty queen, and there are some sexy photos of her in magazines such as Vogue.
2. She would neglect her 5 kids if she’s VP.
4. She’s only been Governor for 2 years, and before that was in City Government, and besides Alaska is hicksville.
5. She’d be only a heartbeat away from a 72-year-old heart, scary!
*sigh* I guess this reaction to McCain’s announcement was predictable coming from the race-baiting woman-bashing mentality of the Hope-Change-Unity brigade. But let me take a deep breath and make another attempt to set ya’ll straight:
Pretty and sexy women, even beauty pageant winners, can also be smart and accomplished (even Taylor Marsh, who insulted Palin by referring to her as babe, was herself a pageant winner, wasn’t she?).
Would anyone question a father’s ability to serve as president or VP (like Mitt Romney, for example)? How about Barack Obama? I heard Michelle say that he’s only home on weekends, but I’ve never heard anyone suggest he’s a bad father for only being there part time.
Most importantly, get a clue about your own candidate’s scary lack of experience. Why is that OK, because he’s a HE?
Gov. Palin has done more in governance than Barack Obama. In fact, what has HE done except prep for the next highest office? He had the audacity to accept chairmanship of the subcommittee on European affairs as a US Senator — knowing that his focus was a presidential run — and neglected that responsibility by holding ZERO hearings (zilch, nada) and taking NO trips to Europe as a US Senator until his recent rock concert tour.
Meanwhile, while Barry was preening himself for the lead role of JesusChristSuperStar of the DNC, Gov. Palin was in the trenches doing the nitty gritty work of a brazen reform-minded executive, and has now racked up a roster of achievements in the nation’s largest state that have made her the most popular Governor in the country. She may be Miss Congeniality, but don’t insult the people of Alaska by implying that 90% of them approve of her job performance based on charm and good looks.
I’d put her work ethic and work record against Barry’s any day. And I guess John McCain feels that way too. Let’s line up their resumes and see who’s stacks up.
Blogger Old Atlantic makes an important point:
A proper ticket has a more experienced president than Vice president. The John McCain Sarah Palin ticket is that way. An improper one is reversed. That is the Barack Hussein Obama II and Joseph Biden Jr. ticket.
Right, good point, don’t forget: Obama is running for PRESIDENT. Palin is running for VICE.
I personally am counting on Obama’s crew to keep offending women, now via the vice presidential candidacy of an accomplished and…yes…highly attractive woman. I know that combination threatens Barry’s Boyz, but get used to it suckers. I hope they continue on this sexist rampage because it will be the quickest surest road to a landslide victory by McCain-Palin. Watch the backlash gain hurricane-force momentum.
Here’s a comment from my pal Nancy at Hill4Pres:
I want to get this out on as many PUMA blogs as possible…..
I believe our mission is clear and our statement should be as well…
The Democratic Party is SEXIST. THEY chose the inexperienced, unqualified male candidate to represent them. HE chose a male as his running mate INSTEAD of the ONE person, a Woman, who would guarantee him/dems the whitehouse.
WHY is it that the Republicans can bring in a WOMAN VP, but the Democrats sat back and let all the sexism against Hillary Clinton proceed, have a sham of a roll call AND by-pass her for VP?
WHICH PARTY IS REALLY SEXIST?
I will happily vote for McCain/Palin and WOMEN especially need to get behind this ticket and say to Obama “NO YOU CAN’T”.
It will be the fastest way for Hillary Clinton to run again in 2012 (vs Sarah Palin).
I’m on board with that game plan: Clinton v. Palin 2012 — What a classy contest that will be.
On a plane from Denver to Charlotte following the Democrats’ convention, I found myself seated behind former National Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Don Fowler and Congressman John Spratt of South Carolina. Their conversation was interesting to say the least.
For example, they made fun of Sarah Palin for several minutes, Fowler calling her “Dan Quayle” on steroids and Spratt creatively describing her as “just terrible.” They both agreed that, “Other than the simple fact that she’s a female,” she has nothing to offer.
Watch how the former National Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Don Fowler is laughing about a hurricane hitting ……….
So you see, it’s funny. That New Orleans will get a hurricane. That’s funny because it is due to hit when President Bush is scheduled to speak. Isn’t that cool? Fowler isn’t the only one who thinks so, just ask Michael Moore.
I sent this to Greta at FOX and she put up the video, please post your comments , the OBOTS are posting their replies, go get them PUMA.

You need to be very afraid of the ties ODrama holds
http://www.cashill.com/natl_general/is_khalid_mansour.htm
This article may give us a hint of who is behind the curtain.
“Knowing that Sutton had friends at Harvard, al-Mansour asked Sutton to “please write a letter in support of [Obama] … a young man that has applied to Harvard.” Sutton gladly did so.
Although Sutton does not specify a date, this would likely have been in 1988 when the 27-year-old Obama was applying to Harvard Law.
Two years later, while still a law student, Obama improbably received an advance to write a memoir that would be called “Dreams From My Father” when finally published in 1995.
Not yet clear is who exactly this Khalid al-Mansour is. There are at least two candidates, one more troubling than the other. The first is a Muslim crackpot preacher who has not met the paranoid racial fantasy unworthy of his energy.”
It may also give us a clue about the ODrama’s need to skip over the college/law school years in his resume.
One thing is very obvious: the Democrats are scared fecesless of Governor Palin!
I have put down my feelings of rage working in an almost all male environment, I have put up with far more sexual discrimination that makes Anita Hill look like a drama queen. I will VOTE for Gov. Palin because she is a SMART WOMAN, finally!!!
I would have voted for Hilary Rodham Clinton, but then Barry didn’t pick her. Thank you John McCain.
Male Stream Media, look out, you are clueless. You are not in middle school any more. The adjectives you use to describe Gov. Palin will follow your careers, if you still have any after this weekend.
lovesdogs :
omg you found something … here is a you tube …and there are many!!!
Khalid al-Mansour
The DNC and MSM slime machine went into high drive just hours after Gov. Sarah Palin’s pick as McCain’s VP.
Here are facts so you know what the charges are:
Sarah Palin’s ex-brother-in-law is an Alaskan State Trooper named Wootan. Prior to becoming Governor, she had requested that the State Police fire him for driving a State Police patrol car while drinking alchohol and driving while intoxicated; for using a taser on his 10-year old son in a blatant act of child abuse; and for the threatening to kill his ex-father-in-law (Sarah Palin’s dad). Nothing was done about this bad cop – he wasn’t fired.
Fast forward to when Sarah Palin becomes Governor. One of the people she fires is the State Police Commissioner who refused to fire State Trooper Wootan.
This is the scandal that MSNBC would have you believe smears her so badly she shouldn’t be on the GOP’s ticket.
Poor Obamabots! It hasn’t even been 48 hours since the end of the Democrat Convention and already Obama is down 2% in the polls. They are desparate!
Thank you, Snoopy. I’m from SC, and I have no respect for Don Fowler. Read my comment at Greta’s website and you’ll know why.
I’m glad you brought that video here, and doubly glad it has been posted all over the internet. We’re in for the fight of our lives with these disgusting people.
Lovesdogs, I haven’t seen a list, but I’ll bet he would be one of what has been described as Soros’ “billionaire club” providing funding for the type of operations around the world like what they’re doing with Obama.
For example, the current Georgia leadership is totally a creation of these future candidates for the lowest levels of Dante’s inferno, Soros’s billionaire club. Unfortunately, Based on his statements, McCain doesn’t seem to understand that the whole Russia-Georgia thing was an operation designed to provoke hostilities. At least that is what I believe based on his statements. Of course, anything Obama has to say on the issue is worthless since he is a creation of the same networks.
I am assuming McCain is not interested in restarting the cold war. Therefore, I would further assume, he would handle the matter differently once he gets all the intelligence. If he is interested in poking that Russian bear, I might as well vote for Obama because his foreign policy advisor, that old bas#$rd Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski, is a rabid Russia hater that will be much better at provoking a conflict with Russia than McCain or his people. Compared to Ziggy and his son (currently in the state department provoking Russia every chance he gets) McCain’s people would be amatuers.
Don’t be surprised when McCain offers Hillary a role, somewhere in his administration. That is, if she wants it. She may be happy to bide her time in the Senate, but I remember a time when she and McCain acted like “buds.”
What really bugs me is how MSM reporters feel free to ask women if they’re only voting for Palin because she’s a woman, yet how many of them have ever asked any of the 90+% of blacks if they’re only voting for BO because he’s black?
I’m sure that women are sitting up and taking notice of the way this is playing out. Even women I know who were not for Hillary are darned P-O-ed at how she was dissed during the campaign and at the convention, by BO, his minions, and the MSM.
I can’t tell you how many women “of a certain age” I know who’ve had similar experiences; for example, with having to step aside and let a plum job–for which they were more qualified by a long shot–be handed to a younger, inexperienced man, simply because he was a man.
It’s more than irritating that BO acts as if that’s the way it ought to be.
I remarked before how he strikes me as majorly sexist. He looked at Hillary during the debates as if he was insulted by the mere fact that she, a WOMAN, would even dare to compete with him. As if it were an insult that he had to share a stage with her.
But considering where he grew up and the culture within which he grew up, maybe that’s not such a surprise.
The good old boys at the DNC are really, really digging themselves into a deep, dark hole; and they seem to be completely oblivious to what they’re doing. It’s as if they can’t help themselves. They simply must make sexist comments. And they simply must, without seeming to perceive the faintest hint of irony, insult Sarah Palin, call her an unqualified lightweight, who’s too dangerous to have a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
As if BO is just about the most qualified, most brilliant, most experienced, almighty candidate imaginable. It’s simply amazing.
Here’s what I say: Women of the USA, UNITE! (And to heck with you Simone. You don’t have a clue, either.)

The above is pretty funny. Found it on Mitchell Langbert’s blog.
Lovesdogs: Ref to your link concerning Al-Mansour -
There has been considerable interest on conservative websites as to whether Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Obama, left Pakistan, and along with his Pakistani friend, then continued on to Mecca for the Hajj which happened in October of 1981.
It would be useful to know when Barry Soetoro/Barack Obama actually started at Columbia Universtiy, New York. Was it September of 1981, OR January 1982?
A major reason he may have for threatening his friends from college with dire consequences unless they keep their mouths shut, is because he was a practising Muslim during his college years, not having yet met Michelle Robinson and the Black Muslim pseudo Christian preacher, Jeremiah Wright, and faking a conversion for political purpoeses.
The idea that he may be financed by Saudi Arabia or persons from that nation is of great concern. Saudi Arabia is not our friend, period. They have delusions of world-wide control using a global Caliphate as their means of control.
This old-boy doesn’t mind moving aside for a true leader – male or female. I don’t see a gender issue with Gov. Palin.
Gov. Palin is simply a natural leader. She didn’t rise to Governor without certain personality traits – risk taker, moral courage, sound judgment, strong work ethic. She is a LEADER. A point guard, too (not a 3-point ball-hog hotshot).
A Harvard law degree won’t help if you don’t have already have the personality traits of a leader (Sorry Barry).
McCain had the nuggetts to take a chance on Palin. Shows what BO, Dean and the rest are lacking is lacking.
The word is slowly but surely getting out that the DNC is nothing but a sexist farce.
Keep up the good work, TD!
The “heartbeat away” argument strikes a nerve with me. Remember the wrath of the bots when Hillary used the word assassinated when talking about RFK? Accusing her of wishing death on Obama! Yet they can use the “heartbeat away” line constantly when talking about McCain.
To Blu
Yep! Double standards all the way
This election has been a rude awakening for me to the fact that it is okay to bash a woman, but it is taboo to imply any hint of racial prejudice. Being a middle class middle aged white woman is suddenly like being pariah. AND IT SUCKS!!!
Obama bloggers are now, in effect, demanding that Sarah Palin produce the birth certificate of her fifth child Trig and prove its hers before she can even be considered as a candidate for vice president. Talk about entering the Obama reality distortion zone. Do we really want the White House in one of those for four more years?
oldatlantic,
Isn’t that ironic. There they go pounding their fists on the table in indignation demanding to see a BC for a four month old little baby when the big baby who is running for the highest office in the land won’t produce his own.
Democratic Underground had some of the nastiest comments about Palin you can imagine. Unfortunately they were just recycled comments about Hillary.
It’s embarrassing to share the label liberal with some of these people.
Mountain Sage
TD- Andrea Mitchell is over the top- did you hear her today on Meet The Press? She insults any woman who was a Hillary supporter who is now voting for McCain/Palin. She makes the assumption they are not educated (too dumb to know better) and hold low-paying jobs.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26483887/page/4/
MS. ANDREA MITCHELL: Well, they, they think now that they have a story. They have a story of a working mom, she is a colorful character, an Annie Oakley, you know, Annie get your gun. They love her story. But when she tried to talk about Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania, in western Pennsylvania yesterday at a rally with conservative Republican voters, Hillary Clinton was booed. So she can use the Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro analogy if she wants to in interviews. She cannot use that at Republican rallies. She is not appealing to the same women who were really voting or supporting Hillary Clinton on ideological issues, but they think that they can peel off some of these working class women, not college-educated, who–the blue collar women who were voting for Hillary Clinton and may be more conservative on social causes.
“Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor defense system. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard is the unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic missile attacks. It’s on PERMANENT ACTIVE DUTY, unlike other Guard units.
As governor of Alaska, Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counterterrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden’s.
She’s also the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Security’s counterterrorism plans.
Palin is privy to military and intelligence secrets that are vital to the entire country’s defense. Given Alaska’s proximity to Russia, she may have security clearances we don’t even know about.
According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets.
She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.”
Palin = authenticity = does not compute with Yobamaites.
Go John and Sarah ‘08.
New Palin video…Must see!
It will give you goosebumbs!
“A Long Time Coming” McCain * Palin 08
I am apalled at all these smears.
Even in a Swiss blog comment I read today about McCain choosing Palin for his personal secretary. Boy, did I give it to them, I was so angry.
I agree with some commenters who state here that this will backfire.
Personally I now react to each and every comment that I find sexistic, even on Palin’s homepage. One bozo said he will vote for her because she is a hottie. I replied that I find other things very positive about her, but then I didn’t have my brain below the beltline.
There is a photograph of Sarah Palin wearing an American flag bikini and holding a rifle next to what appears to be a swimming pool that is circulating on the web. The two just don’t seem to be based in reality. I know I love toting my own Weatherby rifle to pool parties? Nevertheless here is the point, I’d rather see Governor Palin in an American flag bikini than American flags stuffed in bags to be discarded as trash after the Democratic Party’s national convention in Denver this last week, or Bill Ayers, in what appears to be a vegetated alley some where, standing atop an American flag. There’ve been many American soldiers and civilians alike that have died defending the honor and the principles that flag stands for, in the past, the present, and if necessary, in the future. We do not take lightly those who show such disrespect for flag and country and for all those who have sacrificed life and limb in defense of both. My wife came home from a Hallmark store where she had help an elderly man pick out a card for an ailing elderly friend. He was wearing a military style ball cap with the wing he had flown with as a B-17 bomber pilot during the Second World War. My wife inquired as to whether or not he was a veteran and ascertained his WWII service. She told him that I, her husband was also a military veteran, the man looked at her and said, “Tell him thank you for his service to his country”. She was astounded and said to the man, “No he would be thanking you for yours”. There is more shared in these spoken words, in the sentiments of two men who never met, who served during two historically different time periods in our country’s past than a person who did not serve could possible understand. The political parties conventions will soon be over, Godspeed John McCain and Sarah Palin, Country First.
