Quote Of The Day: Gov. Sarah Palin
It hasn’t even been a week since Sen. John McCain’s announcement of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his VP running mate. In that short amount of time I have seen one woman … a mother of five, a woman with backbone, and a woman who gets things done … “change” the Republican Party from one that has been treated and viewed as unforgiving, unmovable, intolerant, racist, sexist and a bunch of old white men.
And this woman has even ‘changed’ the concept of feminism in this country from victim to champion.
In the last couple days we have seen the public school system that Obama and his friend ‘crafted’ disappoint and fail the families and children of Chicago.
Here you have an ‘old white man’ decide to trust a woman and mother as his second in command.
And over here you have a long-winded speech-i-fier whose Hollywood produced speech of less than a week ago has been washed away by a Hurricane called Gustav, and buried by an 8.0 Alaskan earthquake called Sarah …
Exactly whose been able to ‘change’ things more efficiently in a short amount of time, and against the slings and arrows of a vicious media?
Who do you trust to ‘change’ things the right way … and to leave things alone that should NOT be changed?
“In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers,” she said in a barbed reference to Obama and his campaign theme. “And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.” - Gov. Sarah Palin
The McCain/Palin campaign is hijacking the ‘change’ and ‘not another 4 years of Bush’ campaign of the obama campaign.
The empty suit is having his teeth pulled, it will get very ugly before this ends.
I am popping the corn now, grab a beer and pull up a chair.

enjoy! Go McCain/Palin 08!!

I’m right there with you. This is good.
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:53 pmI’m watching this right now and Palin has dead-checked every democrat within sight.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:05 pmwow! Palin! Gosh, I hate to sound like a flamin lib but I feel happy!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:10 pmDAMN……..Palin knocked it out of the park, big time. This is really going to frost some lefty cookies tonight…..
McCain/Palin 2008!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:10 pmincredible, simply incredible
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:11 pmshe rocked that speech!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:11 pmGRANDSLAM!!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:12 pmIron fist in the velvet glove. Kicking ass and taking names.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:14 pmI am absolutely sitting here almost tearing up. I am entirely impressed in her ability to stand before America and speak the truth as though it is natural.
By that, I mean that it is as natural for most politicians to speak lie after lie as though it were truth, yet they stumble when called on to speak a truth. Her ability to deliver honesty and integrity in her speech was amazing to me.
“when the roar of the crowd dies down, and the styrofoam greek columns are back in some studio, what is his plan?” She outlined the plan very well, including the “fine print” as she called it.
Count me in on the “hawt for Palin” crowd. Is it bad if you admire your vice presidential candidate not only for her skills as a speaker, but for that school marm look as well? (My wife has already forgiven me for that…)
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pmSimply put, I fuckin’ LOVE her! She made a great speech with a brillant delivery. Joe Biden is in deep shit if he has to debate her.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:24 pmand now she’s gonna make Obama sleep in the wet spot.

I’m watching this right now and Palin has dead-checked every democrat within sight.
——————————————–
You got that too, eh? Had one shot for each of them and put them DOWN. Even Pelosi.
Remember, as Veep she gets to sit right damn beside Nancy Pantsy … HEHEHEHEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:26 pmyou know, just hearing all the things she has done for alaska, i would vote for Sarah Palin as president McCain wasn’t running. I think she is exactly what we need in the House today. And she had a great point. Obama has written 2 books since he has been in office. He has not done ANYTHING for the government that he is supposed to be working for! IF he ever became president, all the clicks and whistles will die down, the lights will go out and he will shit his pants when he realizes he is in over his head. what was his reaction to Gustav! NOTHING. what was his reaction to Georgia!? 3 days after McCain said what to do, he came to the same conclusion. when something happens off schedule and he doesnt have a script to read, he doesnt know what to do.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:28 pmLMAO!! Pit bull with lipstick!!! GO PALIN!!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:29 pmI watched with my neighbor and my daughter. We were all standing and cheering! My daughter said, “I want to be her”!
We were watching on NBC, I think, at my neighbors. Did anyone else see Piper lick her hand and wipe the head of the baby? It would precious and hillarious!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:30 pmShe made OBAMA LOOK LIKE A PUSSY!!!
OBAMBI IS MAKING HISTORY ALRIGHT, AS THE FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT!!!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:31 pmWe’re not worthy, we’re not worthy!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:31 pmOWNED!!!
You know the Dems wish they could have another convention just to reply to THIS speech. Obama was made out to be the zero he is. She didn’t even have to mention his radical associations to do it!!!
The ball is on our hands, time to carry it into the end zone!!!

I watched with my neighbor and my daughter. We were all standing and cheering! My daughter said, “I want to be her”!

Not so sure you’d hear that about Hillary, poor girl … Hey! Wonder what Hillary thought about the speech and Sarah?
Something like, oh I dunno … “Remember! You could have had MEEEEE!”
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:34 pmOh, damn, by the way, has anyone else noticed that she has yet to mention that she would be the FIRST female elected into “the white house”?
Ya think it’s because she is focused on US as in AMERICA and not her herself? Kinda gives me goose bumps a bit. Makes me thank God that Ferraro and Hitlary both suffered the defeats in order to allow a TRUE American woman be the first.
GOD I LOVE THIS COUNTRY, AND VOW TO FIGHT TO KEEP IT FREE AND WHOLE UNTIL I BREATH MY DYING BREATH!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:35 pmSully you magnificent bastard (pardon the Paton reference) you stole my line! Talk about body checking the Dems!!! Wow they are going to wake up tomorrow black and blue and wonder what the heck happened! I swear she checked Obama into the cheap seats on a couple of those lines!
If I was only lukewarm before I’m now one convinced person that she is the real deal …. don’t screw with this lady unless you want your ass handed to you!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:35 pmSarah just ripped the Dems a new asshole.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:36 pmGentlemen, let me be the first female to apologize to you for the ‘misunderstanding’ of the last 4 decades of “feminism” …
THIS is what [we] meant by “equality” …
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:38 pmWOW!!! Kick ass and take names later… I loved her jab at spineless Harry Dickweed The libtards are in way over their heads fucking with her. She is not going to take their shit or MSM shit. Watch out!!!! McCain/Palin 08
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:43 pmWOW! Reagan in a skirt.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:45 pmDrill , , , Fumin’ , , , Hillary is Fumin’!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:46 pmLet the Libtards keep trying to bring it now! Excellent Excellent speech, and the Obama campaign’s response is “uh, it’s it was kinda like george bush’s speeches”. Eat Sh!t Obama sheeple. We are looking at an EPIC Fail in November for the obamessiah.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:47 pmAwesome speech! CLASSIC! Loved every minute of it! “Shatter the shit outta” that glass ceiling!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:49 pmNEVER SEEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STIR UP A HORNETS NEST. MEDIA AND LIBS, YOU BETTER PUT SOME ICE ON THAT!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:51 pmSomebody call McCain and tell him when W turns over the keys to Air Force One to him in January … hide the damn plane!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:53 pmWhen McCain greeted Sarah Barracuda and her family today after their flight, there were tons of Secret Service, all of them wearing shades. Some were female.
I’ve heard that Laura Bush sometimes barbecues for her detail. Sarah will probably get up at 3:00 a.m. (just like she did when she was in school), shoot a moose, gut it, dress it, and turn it into steaks for her Secret Service agents.

You’re not the only one, man. Hot damn…
Wow… I’m in love. Smarts, looks, the ability to kick the shit out of any scumbag that comes her way (and better than I can at that!)… what more do you want?! What more can you have?
She would definitely have my vote if she were running for president. I wouldn’t even give it a second thought.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:56 pmWhat a speech, what a great woman, and soon to be VP.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:07 pmFinally a woman on the national stage I will be proud for my daughters to look up to.
Especially since the ex thinks my daughters should look up to Hillary.
It will be even better when she is the first woman Pres.
I might disagree with McCain on a few things, but there can be no doubt about which ticket is the best for this country now and for the long term impact of appointing judges and increasing domestic energy, jobs and expanding the economy and keeping us and our kids safe.
Sarah has made me feel good about voting for McCain… I would go as far to say, that my vote is actually for Sarah Palin. McCain made an brilliant choice.
Four years of McCain and then he should not run for a second term due to age….then…. eight years of Sarah Palin.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:10 pmWOW Bona Fide Badass!
I almost feel sorry for the poor little demoncrat weasels whose best of the best isn’t qualified to carry Sarah’s ammo bag.

September 3rd, 2008 at 8:13 pmGov. Sarah Palin Hockey Mom Rules!
fan, I understand
I have a 9 year old daughter, energetic, smart, athletic and a total go getter, I am so happy to have Palin as a someone for her to look to.
Worried about your daughters looking to skanks as examples of successful women? Sarah Palin is your antidote.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:16 pmDRILL! I STILL LOVE YOU! (And I mean that with all due respect to your husband.)
You absolutely rock!
THIS is what you meant by feminism…. I grew up with two older sisters that GET IT too.
It isn’t as much about equality as it is about QUALITY and the ability to share in the journey and founding of REALITY based decisions that affect us all together. (According to my oldest sister.)

September 3rd, 2008 at 8:22 pm“Somebody call McCain and tell him when W turns over the keys to Air Force One to him in January … hide the damn plane!”
No kidding! Could you imagine being the winning bidder on eBay for the plane formerly known as “Airforce One”?
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:23 pmLet me be the first to criticize. I would like to criticize . . . the audience. The one thing I feel about modern day speeches is that the audience interrupts too f*cking much! Sit down and shut up. If you want to hoot and holler you need to do it in the comfort of your own home, when listening to someone giving a speech you should respect the fact that they have more to say and a limited amount of time to say it. You can applaud when she’s done.
My friend Angel kept text messaging me thru-out the coverage. She has more recently been introduced to the real political battlefield and not the spoon-fed diet you get in college. I believe she would have voted for Obama a year ago. Today she could barely contain her excitement. She wanted it to be Palin on the top of the ticket she loved her so much. I told her four years of McCain and then Palin will get her shot.
I’m not a very good barometer of public opinion or perception. My brother in law David said to me, “You know, those women, in the fall are going to walk into the voting booth, see Obama’s name and think ‘FUCK YOU OBAMA!’.” I’d have to agree with him.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:51 pmNow the feminazis truly know what a feminist is. I’m married to a very smart, principled, and grounded woman. She is the greatest wife a guy could ask for. From what I’ve seen, Sarah Palin was formed from that same mold. God Bless her.
I can not wait to see her battle Biden. There are too many on the left who are licking their chops at what they perceive to be a mismatch between Biden and Palin. With a like performance in the VP debate, the mismatch will be in Palin’s favor. The ass-kicking Biden receives at the hands this fine candidate will be pleasure to watch.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:58 pmShit …
I’ll bet poor Oprah cried her eye lashes off.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:18 pmHow many ways can you say “WOW”! We have certainly witnessed history in the making, friends. That was an outstanding speech, and the Big Zero and his sidekick now know that they are in for the fight of their lives this election. If McCain/Palin don’t win a landslide victory, I will be surprised indeed.
I can see it already in 2012: Palin vs Hillary; the first women Presidential candidates on both Republican and Democrat tickets in American history at the same time. I would be delighted to vote for her any day, any time.
Great job, Sarah! Godspeed.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:29 pmDrill
LMAO, bet she had another change of life too!
Isn’t it strange…the NOW group used to whine and cry that women should be able to do it all…have a career and have children. WELL WELL, now we have a REAL woman and now they whine and cry that she can’t possibly do this. HYPOCRITES, anyone?
BTW, you know how to get even with the Press? Any time you see, talk or write to a reporter, ask them if their daughters are whores. If they rebel, tell them that apparently is the standard the press has established for others so why not the same for them?
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:53 pmMissed the speech, but loved the quote
September 4th, 2008 at 2:22 am“I’ve heard that Laura Bush sometimes barbecues for her detail. Sarah will probably get up at 3:00 a.m. (just like she did when she was in school), shoot a moose, gut it, dress it, and turn it into steaks for her Secret Service agents.”
I love it! Can you imagine those SecServ guys out in the bush, dark glasses and all? “Protecting” someone who is packing more firepower and may even be a better shot.
September 4th, 2008 at 2:29 amyou people that like the kind of stories, possibly Jose M Aznar is the new Edwards that denies being the father of our arab minister of justice Rachida Dati’s future baby.
She is also about 44 years old
wasn’t Aznar your fervent christian alliee ?

September 4th, 2008 at 3:01 amPalin speaks the truth and all that see the truth recognize it. Obama and Biden have boot prints all over their asses.
WOW
September 4th, 2008 at 3:31 amI’m gettin’ tingly feelings running up my leg….
September 4th, 2008 at 3:45 amLooks like Sarah is channeling Teddy Roosevelt! Charge! Charge up Capitol Hill! Take no prisoners!
Damn … Ya gotta love this lady… And stay with the hot librarian look … “Conan the Librarian” indeed LMAO
September 4th, 2008 at 5:36 amPalin had many good lines in her speech. It’d be difficult for me to pick a favorite. Anyone know where I can find a printable copy of her speech?
