Sept. 8, 2008: I have to wonder how many principled people on the Left (there has to be some left) recognize the hypocrisy re diversity, tolerance and equality as it pertains to Sarah Palin. She is not perfect, but she is real. Right there to see and apparently to destroy at all costs. Pajama Media has an extensive list of dozens upon dozens of false stories that have emerged within the past month and especially the past week. Why are they so afraid of Sarah? The numbers are out this morning and it presently does not look good for the anointed one. But, that can change so easily. Bedrock to all this, away from the destruction machinary of the Left, are the key philosophical points that Palin brings to focus. I won’t recount them. You know them and apparently the Left’s assassins to as well or they would not be so afraid of her. It is suddenly as if Barry is running against Sarah and she is still Kicking his Sorry Ass.
The No’s have it so far: NOBAMA, NOPE, NOPRAH, NOBIDEN (doesn’t Joe look tired?)

Sept. 4, 2008: I watched Sarah (well, we say Hillary..we can say Sarah) give her speech. I thought she did a wonderful job. Of course, the detractors said she used a written speech and teleprompter (not sure what that is about, they all do, to include Barry). An aside, have you ever noticed how befuddled and tongue tied Barry is without his script and teleprompter? I ask because this morning Sarah’s aid said her teleprompter was broken for some portion of the speech. Sarah did not seem tongue tied. The media has begrudgingly said that she did well, but that that was the easy part. I wonder. Given what was on the line last night that may have been one of the hardest things she will have to do. We shall see. She will have to run the gauntlet and that is as it should be as long as the focus is on her policy beliefs and nothing else. No more sleaze. I do believe, so far, I finally have something to feel good about. I couldn’t help but feel proud of her.
“Sarah Palin‘s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention Wednesday night garnered 37.2 million viewers, just shy of Barack Obama‘s record-breaking audience last week. More people watched the Alaska governor than her Democratic vice presidential opponent, Joe Biden, whose speech at last week’s Democratic Convention was watched by 24 million viewers. Obama’s acceptance speech last Thursday pulled in 38.4 million viewers, making it the most-watched convention speech in history. Dubbing herself “an average hockey mom,” Palin joked in her speech, “You know what they say the difference is between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick!” She also blasted Obama’s background as a Chicago community organizer: “I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.” Watch Sarah Palin’s convention speech.
9/3/2008: Did I say RELENTLESS? How about DISGRACEFUL or SHAMEFUL or OBVIOUS PROPAGANDA? Is there any more obvious manifestation than this frenzied, concerted effort of the bias, vindictive nature of of the Left and their propaganda arm…the media (MSM)? One little gal causes all this fuss. A strong woman. The hypocrisy of the left is so transparent. I hope it continues because little by little the undecided’s will come to see the group think mentality of the Left. The savage conformist driven power. It is too bad for them she is much stronger than their onslaught. It will be interesting tonight to see if she holds her own. I wish she could tell them what a deplorable, gaggle of scared geese they are. All the bashing, innuendo, lies and falsities aside…Sarah is still equal to or superior to Obama on many fronts. And, she is not running for POTUS. Doesn’t this relentless onslaught concern any of you?
Palin Derangement Syndrome
The Four Stages of Conservative Female Abuse
It will be interesting to watch the RELENTLESScharacter assault upon Palin: influenced Pebble Mine vote, attempted to influence State Trooper’s career, her husband had a DUII 22 years ago, she wants to drill ANWR, she’s only from Alaska and oh my she hunts and fishes, oh and best..her Downs child really isn’t hers but of her teenage daughter and her 5 months pregnant teen (sounds like my extended family…and yours too?). That does all seem pretty impressive compared to Resko, Wright, Ayers, the corrupt Chicago machine, and who in the hell knows how much more….yes, Sarah is so unfit. Hmmm? Actually, on paper she seems amazingly more qualified than Mr. Appearance Over Substance:
