Palin Vlog #3: Cramming for the Economic Debate

Sippin' on Haterade? Gotta love this. Sara Benincasa rocks.

Governor Sarah Palin- Vlog#1

This woman is very funny and talented. I don't know who she is, but she has made me laugh aloud.

Well, There Goes the Wiccan Vote!

In case you haven't seen this.... it was a real toss up to me as to what was scarier. Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric or this African pastor praying over her in this strange voice to bring money to her campaign...and KEEP HER SAFE FROM WITCHCRAFT.
-
You can't make this up. I kept thinking this had to be a spoof video or something... but it is not.
-
It is an African "Pastor" praying over Sarah Palin at her church. See the video yourself. It is about a minute and a half into the dialogue.

If you didn't see the Katie Couric interview segments, you missed out. It is kinda like passing a car wreck... you HAVE to look. She is in SOOOO far over her head.

COURIC: Explain to me why that enhances your foreign policy credentials.
-
PALIN: Well, it certainly does because our– our next door neighbors are foreign countries. They’re in the state that I am the executive of. And there in Russia–
-
COURIC: Have you ever been involved with any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?
-
PALIN: We have trade missions back and forth. We– we do– it’s very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia as Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border. It is– from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there. They are right next to– to our state.

OH MY..... PUTIN REARS HIS HEAD??????? Beam me up Scottie.

Let's Play Palin Bingo!

I came across this today and just had to share it. It's easy to play. Just go to the site and click on the game board to make it bigger and print it out. All you do is watch your favorite news show
and "just get some tokens, watch the reporting, and mark off every scandal or horrifying policy position that gets mentioned!"

Heed the warning:

NOTE: One game of SARAH PALIN BINGO should take one hour on MSNBC, three hours on CNN, and up to a month or more on FOX News.

The Sunday Morning Muse, September 14, 2008

Delayed post today, because I couldn't access the site. Probably too many people posting more lies from John McCain and Sarah Palin.
-
It never ceases to amaze me how gullible people are. Or how quickly someone will sell out his own principles. John McCain's betting that Americans are basically shallow, stupid and lazy. Too lazy to go and find the truth themselves. I can only hope he is wrong.

I can't say all this any better than Tony Norman did this week, in his column, Where Have You Gone John McCain?:

(snip)

Even if you're able to repeat your predecessor's trick of fooling enough of the voters to prevail in November, you'll spend the rest of your days in the hole you've fallen into, John McCain. Like Marlowe's Faustus or Robert Johnson selling his soul to become the greatest blues guitarist of his time, you've become a prisoner of the very devils you've employed.

Where is the honor in reciting lies for something as transient as political advantage? What are we as voters supposed to make of political ads that accuse Barack Obama of advocating sex education for kindergartners? Are we supposed to believe your campaign's repeated assertions that Sarah Palin opposed the "bridge to nowhere" along with the earmarks connected to it? More than a dozen news organizations have already demolished this myth.

Sarah's Lies, Part Three- Mating Habits of Crabs

I really didn't mean for this to be an everyday thing. But if the lies continue at this pace, my whole blog will be devoted to debunking them. What I can't understand is why she and McCain aren't being held more accountable. They just repeat them and repeat them........



Thinkprogress.org


Appearing on “The View” (Friday) Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) falsely claimed that Sarah Palin never requested earmarks as the governor of Alaska. “Not as governor she didn’t,” McCain told Barbara Walters after she noted Palin “took some earmarks”:

WALTERS: What is she going to reform specifically, senator?

MCCAIN: Well, first of all, earmark spending, which she vetoed a half a billion dollars worth in the state of Alaska.

WALTERS: She also took some earmarks there.

BEHAR: A lot.

MCCAIN: No, not as governor she didn’t, she vetoed…

WALTERS: As Mayor.

MCCAIN: Well, look, the fact is that she was a reform governor.

------------

Continued from Thinkprogress.org

McCain’s claim that Palin never accepted earmarks as the governor of Alaska is divorced from reality. In fact, she actively sought them:

– Though Palin did reduce Alaska’s earmark requests, “in her two years in office, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation.”

– In March 2008, Palin wrote an op-ed in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, saying that her “role at the federal level is simply to submit the most well-conceived earmark requests we can” and that her reduction of requests was a response “to the changing circumstances in Congress.”

– In February 2008, Palin’s office sent Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) “a 70-page memo outlining almost $200 million worth of new funding requests for the state.”

– In her most recent earmark requests, “Palin requested millions of federal dollars for everything from improving recreational halibut fishing to studying the mating habits of crabs and the DNA of harbor seals.”

As ThinkProgress has noted, Palin has requested earmarks of the very type that McCain routinely mocks while on the campaign trail. As Walters pointed out, Palin was also a big fan of congressional pork as the Mayor of Wasilla, even hiring a lobbyist to help secure them.

Sarah's Lies, Part 2: Another day, Another Lie

Washington Post:

FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska, Sept. 11 -- Gov. Sarah Palin linked the war in Iraq with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, telling an Iraq-bound brigade of soldiers that included her son that they would "defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans."

The idea that the Iraqi government under Saddam Hussein helped al-Qaeda plan the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, a view once promoted by Bush administration officials, has since been rejected even by the president himself. But it is widely agreed that militants allied with al-Qaeda have taken root in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion.

Sarah's Lies

This woman appears to lie at every turn. So I've decided to do my part and shine light on these lies as I find them. The video tells the real story on the Bridge to Nowhere.. and the Jet (which she did NOT sell on EBAY). Oh...and that cook she supposedly fired...

Read more about the Bridge to Nowhere at the Wall Street Journal.

(snip)But Gov. Palin's claim comes with a serious caveat. She endorsed the multimillion dollar project during her gubernatorial race in 2006. And while she did take part in stopping the project after it became a national scandal, she did not return the federal money. She just allocated it elsewhere.
