Is Palin Obama’s Achilles Heel?

It would seem that the Obama/Biden campaign is struggling to effectively take on the Palin factor. They are tredding carefully for various reasons I am sure.

1. They don’t want to scare away potential women voters. Any harsh criticism toward Palin could seriously injure the Obama campaign by scaring women away, and whether that would be true or not, Obama isn’t willing to take the chance.

2. Palin isn’t from Washington. She has gone against her own party. She has proven herself to be extremely successful as a governor. She is change. Walking the walk is much more powerful for voters and the public and it is hard to deny. Obama will try to brush it off and say that she isn’t change, but he obviously knows its going to be hard to compete against, and with someone else with that background and stating that they are change, it takes the wind out of his sails.

3. Palin just took any chance of Obama convincing a large majority of Republicans on the fence to his side. Obama has been making initiatives to get Christians and Moderate Republicans to vote for him. While this was particularly hard to believe that he would be successful at this, it is most definitely dead in the water now. With this door closed, Obama will have to reorganize and try to find another way to gain more ground.

Side notes that could also injure Obama’s campaign. Obama is known for being extremely liberal. Biden is also very liberal. McCain is know for being moderate. Palin is known for being conservative. They are more diverse in the political spectrum. Palin will bring the conservative base with her. McCain will get the moderate Republicans and Democrats. All Obama will get is extreme liberal democrats and minority voters. Which, lets be honest, isn’t enough to win in November. With a voting battleground that heavily depends on wooing indepedents and moderates, the McCain/Palin campaign could seriously do some heavy damage.

Once again, the country is divided. No one should have any illusions about this election being a cakewalk for Obama. While Bush is unpopular, congress is just as unpopular if not more so, which means that Democrats are also to blame for the nations woes. People (mostly meaning indepedents) may take this into account and want the campaign that will actually take on big wigs, corruption, and Washington insiders.

Public Believe Media Hurting Palin

According to a recent Rassmussen poll report, the American public 10 to 1 believes that the media is biasly and prejudicely attacing Palin to hurt her politically. 24% of US voters said that these reports make them want to vote for McCain.

For Republicans it is 80 to 6 percent, for Democrats its 28 to 4 percent, and unaffiliated voters are 49 to 5 percent all believing that the media is attacking Palin. Only 5% of the public believed that the media was trying to help Palin.

This just goes to show that the public is not as stupid as the media believes it to be and will not buy into everything they feed them. It also shows that the media could really shoot Obama in the foot politically. If you scour the comments on most news websites, you will find several people upset with the media establishment. More and more people are getting frustrated with how bias, tasteless, and shallow the news is becoming. The public is noticing and I think that if the news doesn’t pick up on this and soon, they could seriously hurt their credibility. Too often does America gun for the underdog, especially if they notice something foul in the information they have been fed by the media.

Abhorrent, Despicable, Deplorable, and Monstrous!

Who are you people?

All I see through-out the blogosphere is the most detestable and despicable attacks I have ever read. All this wicked gossip about Palin and the slander that is being spread needs to stop immediately. It has gone way too far and is absolutely monstrous! I don’t care if you don’t agree with the GOP, McCain, Palin, Bush, or whoever! You at least have the dignity and respect to treat them like human beings. Here we have both the DNC and the RNC talking about how America comes first, how being an American is more important than party lines, and yet the American people can’t even get passed it! We can’t follow suit to what our leaders try to tell us to do. We are the most rebellious and deplorable generation, spitting on the people who lead us. Who do you think you are?

I am seriously disgusted. Spreading these attacks against Palin is just as awful as all the terrible rumors spread against Obama. I don’t care what side you are on, I don’t care if you just can’t stand either platform, you respect who they are and you treat them with dignity. Both sides just need to stop immediately, before politics leads down an even more terrible road than it already is on.

Palin Jolts the Republican Heart into Action

I just read an article about how Palin is apparently jump starting a new craze of Republican support across the nation. It’s an interesting read. Check it out:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080831/pl_politico/13016

National Organization for Leftist Women

NOW, or as I actaully call it NOLW, has posted an article against Sarah Palin on their website.

They make this statement:

“Gov. Palin may be the second woman vice-presidential candidate on a major party ticket, but she is not the right woman. Sadly, she is a woman who opposes women’s rights, just like John McCain.”

Since you call yourself the “National Organization for Women” that would arrogantly indicate that you speak for all women. Since you apparently don’t speak for Sarah Palin and since she so ardantly disagrees with your “Women’s rights” wouldn’t this raise a red flag to consider why she disagrees? Because, she is a woman, not matter how much you might want to fight against that fact. Doesn’t she also have a say on the issue? Or, do you only speak for leftist women and their leftist women’s rights? Because, frankly, I need some clarification. If you only speak for leftist women (which you obviously do) then you should change your name and stop your generalizations as if you speak for ALL women (because you most certainly don’t). Back to my original point, since Sarah Palin is a woman, and she does disagree with you, where does that bring us with the whole “feminist” movement? Could you actually be wrong? (Wow, that’s a shocker!)

Finally, as the chair of NOW’s Political Action Committee, I am frequently asked whether NOW supports women candidates just because they are women. This gives me an opportunity to once again answer that question with an emphatic ‘No.’ We recognize the importance of having women’s rights supporters at every level but, like Sarah Palin, not every woman supports women’s rights.”

The term “women’s rights” seems rather vague. What are “women’s rights”? If you mean the ability to have an abortion done, than yes, Sarah Palin (like most Republicans) wouldn’t agree that women have the right to get an abortion. However, if you mean women equality, then wouldn’t her being a governor and wanting to become the Vice President even indicate in itself that she is striving for what all women want in equality? The ability to do and be anything they set their mind to without limits or boundries. I am sure she is for non-discrimination against women in the workplace, etc… She just draws the line at abortion. Saying, “she is not for women’s rights” is just saying that she is not for your version of women’s rights.

Let me bring this back to my original point. Not every woman supports women’s rights. Think about that for a second. It insinuates that all women should be for women’s rights. Why wouldn’t they be? Right? I mean every woman I know has goals and wants to pursue their dreams. Ask yourself, maybe there is a chance that NOW has taken women’s rights way too far. They have pushed it to a point of madness, immorality, and militancy.

Palin and Experience

Obviously, the first target the Democratic liberals choose when going after Sarah Palin is her experience. And I’ll admit that she is limited in experience. BUT SO IS OBAMA!

I don’t know how many times I have to make that clear to people who use the experience argument against Palin. They need to look at their own candidate. Are you just ignoring the fact that he is practically experienceless because he gives a good speech and makes you feel fuzy inside? Or, is it because you are just so rotten to the core bias that you can’t see past the wool over your eyes?

Let’s do the math.

Obama = No Experience and running for President.
Palin = No Experience and running for Vice President.

Personally, wouldn’t you consider Obama’s equation the worse of the two? But, no, I have read tons of excuses about why Obama’s lack of experience doesn’t actually matter. Does this not apply to Palin? Because if it does, then you shouldn’t chastise her for experience, and if it doesn’t then you are a two-faced hypocrite.

Being that both Obama and Palin have little experience, lets analyze their records, shall we? What has Obama really done in the Senate? He’s voted for things so die-hard liberal that even Pelosi wouldn’t vote for them. He is considered the most liberal senator in Congress, and in his 4 years he really didn’t accomplish that much. Palin on the other hand cut her own salary for the Alaskan budget, she went after senators and representatives in her own party because they were corrupt, she reformed and radically cut spending in Alaska, and has done much more gutsy stuff than Obama would ever dream of doing. She’s tough, smart, and has proven to be an all around good leader. It would seem that she would be a better candidate for change in the corruption of Washington than Obama.

I have a great idea. Let’s stop this nonsense about Palin being so little experienced, especially since everyone is expecting McCain to die any second. The guy has a full bill of health and is more vibrant than ever. He isn’t going to die, and you know what? Even if he did, I would vote for Palin against Obama anyday of the week. Obama has talk. Palin has the walk.

See I can make fun sayings like the Democrats too

Palin Pisses Off the Feminists

I have read many a blog today. I have also read plenty of articles on Sarah Palin with comments from feminists and Hillary supporters. It would seem for the most part they are pissed. And, I’ll be honest, that makes me smile.

It makes me smile because Palin is basically the anti-Hillary. Palin represents everything that liberal Hillary-supporting women want to silence and destroy. And that makes me smile. It makes me smile because Palin is living proof that there are successful women out there who don’t agree with the modern feminists movement. The feminist movement that arrogantly believes they represent all women. Unfortunately for them, a woman like Sarah Palin will represent a completley new form of woman. A woman who upholds family values, integrity, honesty, justice, fighting corruption, putting human life before selfish choice, and lets be honest, looking pretty freaking sweet with a gun. It drives them crazy. It drives them crazy because they know there is another perspective out there, one that has been silenced, one that needs to be awakened, and one that is traditionally and ultimately the stronger perspective. And, oh, how they hate it. Because, it isn’t progressive.

They can’t stand that other women don’t agree with them.

Change We Don’t Want to Believe In

It is pretty obvious the Democratic party is pushing the idea of “Change”. My even writing that sentence should make me “Captain Obvious”. Obama mentioned the different things he wants to change in his nomination speech, and several campaign workers and Joe Biden have been quoted saying, “That’s not change, that’s more of the same”.

The first question I have to ask is, “What audience are they speaking to?” It is obvious that it’s a largely liberal, Democratic party audience. This audience wants any scent of the Bush Administration out of the White House. Thus, all the “McCain/Bush Administration” statements that Biden and other campaign managers have been throwing out. They are trying to link McCain and Bush together. However, it would seem they are also trying to convince Independents (and maybe some on the fence conservatives) that Bush’s policies have been bad and that change in Obama is good. However, a lot of what Obama had to say for change isn’t actually change at all. It is just change to the Democratic policies. So, let’s be clear, this isn’t some kind of perfect, beautiful, and universal American change that everyone agrees with, this is the Democratic parties version of change. I am sure that Ralph Nader wants to create lots of change too if he became President, but that doesn’t mean it is the change we need. And even McCain mentioned that he wants to bring about change as well (and has criticized the Bush administration) but he says we need the right kind of change.

I suppose I  am just tired of the Democratic parties brainwashing rhetoric about change as if their change is some awesome, all-powerful change from on high. And let’s just get down to the basics here, if you like Obama’s policies and the Democratic parties policies, then vote because of that, don’t vote because they are brainwashing you into believing in some universal change. If you like McCain’s policies than vote for McCain. We are a divided nation; a large part of the country doesn’t actually agree with Obama on what he wants to change. There are a lot of people out there that don’t think we need a lot of change. And make no mistake, there will always be things to change, but once again not necessarily in the way that Obama is plotting.

So, when you read articles about people saying, ”Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies. That’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same,” he [Burton] said.” Just ignore it and focus on the issues. Vote not on change alone, but on what candidate will actually bring about a better focus and goals for the country, because in the end this is what they are really telling you:

“We don’t agree with anything that the other side says and you need to agree with us that those things are wrong. Thus, it will never be the ‘change we need’.”

I could find a whole lot of people that would say that the above issues that Burton mentioned is exactly the change we need. Once again, we are a divided nation.

Speak for Yourself Obama Campaign

“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency,” Burton said in a statement.

This is a quote from a Obama campaign spokesperson. And everyone replies, “YOU DID THE SAME THING WITH YOUR OWN CANDIDATE!”

How ignorant and hypocritical is this guy? Obama has NO foreign policy experience either and he is running for President! I think they might want to change their attack playbook if they think that jab is actually good.

Also, congratulations to Sarah Palin for her recent nomination as Vice President.
