Sarah Palin's speech

[StereoInstaller1]

sarah palin is the new ronald reagan

Yeah, but I never ever even thought about fucking Ronnie

[Yakinho]

Classy. Picking on teenage girls and infants.

Typical punk Democrat.

BTW, a good friend of mine has a young son with Downs. He's a retired Army Ranger. Set a record at the time for most jumps. Was severely burned when a plane crashed into their barracks about 15 years ago and he saved the lives of several of his fellow Army Rangers. He could have retired then with full benefits but didn't. He served our country for another 15 years after that for a total of 20

He's also about 6'4", and a solid 240 lbs. Before joining the Army, he was recruited by several big name colleges to play football. I would like to see you call his son a retard.

After you did, it would be you that would be the retard and you would be drooling and eating thru a straw for the rest of your life.

God damn dude, did you take it personal enough? Calling someone a retard has no correlation with being a democrat or republican... That's awesome your friend is a bad ass and shit. You sound like that fucking cro-crop kid. :roll:

[Vedubin01]

He was talking about Palins new born that has down syndrome.

[Yakinho]

I understand that, it's just the response was a bit much... I'd say both posts were "retarded..."

[euro3]

Picking her was awesome.

I enjoy watching the MILF alot more than the last monkey.

I vote titties!

[ldsbeaker]

Two thumbs up.

[lowlightbw]

after watching giuliani's speech i had almost decided to not vote at all. that was awful. palin sort made the vomit taste in my mouth dissipate.

[Rigmaster]

Did she talk about how her daughter is a whore and has a retarded kid??

wait, you're her kid?




Oh, my mistake- you said retarded, not ignorant.


I know Blunt, and you sir are no Blunt.....so stop trying, it's just sad.

[Stevie30]

Will someone please tell me the difference between democrats and republicans without quoting the dictionary which does not offer a decent explanation. How can one know which he or she is?

[Dave]

I guess I am an optimist, but I think the majority of voting Americans know better.

One liner digs that play well to the wingnut crowd are not the stuff great speeches are made of.

I really feel for McCain. 2000 was his time. Had it not been for the dirty shit Bush pulled to win that nomination, I believe McCain would have legitimately, and without controversy, beat Gore, and God knows our country would have to be in better shape right now.

Instead, he is now the day old bread, and his impulsive choice of this corrupt secessionist wingnut bimbo has, as Peggy Noonan and Michael Murphy noted yesterday, ended his chances.

Too bad. I really had always respected McCain.

I lol'd



















but don't tell your buddy on me

[jddbmw6913]

i think she did very well. it was a well written speech and she did a great job of relaying its message. of course it wouldn't matter to me what she said, obama's such a loon that i'd vote almost anyone except him.

[DarkWing6]

I love people that tell jokes. It draws attention away from something important.

I love people that use sarcasm. It draws attention away from their ignorance.

Jokes are very fitting for a speach like this. They were used to attack her opponent in a more PC way. These national conventions are basically a rah rah fest for the respective parties, so some humor and jabs are fine to get people jazzed about their party and canidates. She carried herself well, attacked the issues, and overall had a great speech. The more and more I listen to Palin the more I like her. It will be interesting to see her in the debates.

Here are a few problems with Palin's speech:

PALIN: “I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending ... and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress 'thanks but no thanks' for that Bridge to Nowhere.”

THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, that opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a “bridge to nowhere.”

PALIN: “There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform – not even in the state senate.”

THE FACTS: Compared to McCain and his two decades in the Senate, Obama waffleswaffleswaffles shave a more meager record. But he has worked with Republicans to pass legislation that expanded efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction and to help destroy conventional weapons stockpiles. The legislation became law last year. To demean that accomplishment would be to also demean the work of Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, a respected foreign policy voice in the Senate. In Illinois, he was the leader on two big, contentious measures in Illinois: studying racial profiling by police and requiring recordings of interrogations in potential death penalty cases. He also successfully co-sponsored major ethics reform legislation.

PALIN: “The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes, raise payroll taxes, raise investment income taxes, raise the death tax, raise business taxes, and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars.”

THE FACTS: The Tax Policy Center, a think tank run jointly by the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, concluded that Obama's plan would increase after-tax income for middle-income taxpayers by about 5 percent by 2012, or nearly $2,200 annually. McCain's plan, which cuts taxes across all income levels, would raise after tax-income for middle-income taxpayers by 3 percent, the center concluded.

Obama would provide $80 billion in tax breaks, mainly for poor workers and the elderly, including tripling the Earned Income Tax Credit for minimum-wage workers and higher credits for larger families.

He also would raise income taxes, capital gains and dividend taxes on the wealthiest. He would raise payroll taxes on taxpayers with incomes above $250,000, and he would raise corporate taxes. Small businesses that make more than $250,000 a year would see taxes rise.

MCCAIN: “She's been governor of our largest state, in charge of 20 percent of America's energy supply ... She's responsible for 20 percent of the nation's energy supply. I'm entertained by the comparison and I hope we can keep making that comparison that running a political campaign is somehow comparable to being the executive of the largest state in America,” he said in an interview with ABC News' Charles Gibson.

THE FACTS: McCain's phrasing exaggerates both claims. Palin is governor of a state that ranks second nationally in crude oil production, but she's no more “responsible” for that resource than President Bush was when he was governor of Texas, another oil-producing state. In fact, her primary power is the ability to tax oil, which she did in concert with the Alaska Legislature. And where Alaska is the largest state in America, McCain could as easily have called it the 47th largest state – by population.

MCCAIN: “She's the commander of the Alaska National Guard. ... She has been in charge, and she has had national security as one of her primary responsibilities,” he said on ABC.

THE FACTS: While governors are in charge of their state guard units, that authority ends whenever those units are called to actual military service. When guard units are deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, for example, they assume those duties under “federal status,” which means they report to the Defense Department, not their governors. Alaska's national guard units have a total of about 4,200 personnel, among the smallest of state guard organizations.

FORMER ARKANSAS GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE: Palin “got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States.”

THE FACTS: A whopper. Palin got 616 votes in the 1996 mayor's election, and got 909 in her 1999 re-election race, for a total of 1,525. Biden dropped out of the race after the Iowa caucuses, but he still got 76,165 votes in 23 states and the District of Columbia where he was on the ballot during the 2008 presidential primaries.

FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOV. MITT ROMNEY: “We need change, all right – change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington! We have a prescription for every American who wants change in Washington – throw out the big-government liberals, and elect John McCain and Sarah Palin.”

THE FACTS: A Back-to-the-Future moment. George W. Bush, a conservative Republican, has been president for nearly eight years. And until last year, Republicans controlled Congress. Only since January 2007 have Democrats have been in charge of the House and Senate.

I guess I'm in the minority in America by being an agnostic/atheist and I accept that. I get a little creeped out by the thought of her being pres..

[StereoInstaller1]

Not to talk politics, but personalities...she clearly demonstrates the same exact attitude that most small town girls get when they set their sites higher: "I will show YOU how this works, Mr. Big City Smartypants!" and promptly get crushed.

She reminds me of "Margaret" from Dennis the Menace.


I would still fuck her, though. Great bod for having popped out 5 rugrats.
