Choosing Sara Palin was a stroke of genius for the McCain campaign. I believe that the Republican Party was watching the sexist circus put out by the Obama campaign, the DNC and the main stream media and knew, that millions of women would re- think their choices. Even better, they sucked the air out of the atmosphere for the Democrats. Their convention bump hit a brick wall.
There are complaints in the media that Gov. Palin is not experienced enough and comments by Obama fans on You Tube are just not fit for comment. The Obama camp is angry. The DNC is going to hustle to discredit her. News commentators are discovering that there were sources pushing for Sara Palin for quite a while.http://palinforvp.blogspot.com/ I guess that no one was paying attention. September and October will be interesting months on the news circuit.
The coming information wars will be all about ethics and experience. We will be tutored in reasons we should trust or believe one over the other and I believe that Gov. Palin is going to come out on top. We can compare her record to Barack Obama’s and she will pass inspection surpassing him. No one can shoot holes in her resume, his is Swiss cheese. As for debating, we know that Obama has difficulty without having scripted talking points. While we have not seen Sara Palin in a debate situation, we will see her put out a very credible performance.
When I look at the campaign media from both parties, it says a lot about the respect shown for the VP choice. Obama has his name in a larger font, in white on a blue background. Biden is in light blue and in a smaller font as if he’s fading away.
McCain has given his VP equal billing. I believe that McCain has made a very good choice.
Yes, they say that this decision is the one you can use to judge your future presidents decision making capabilities and Joe Biden was the poorer choice.
I was not going to vote for Barack Obama long before he made this choice. The campaign in the coming months will confirm that decision and hopefully change many other minds. The media will soon be singing another song.
Congratulations Sara Palin a woman who lives what she says and believes.
Today's troubled times call for a champion of the people. We have seen a severe decline in our economy. The banks and mortgage companies have indulged in new forms of piracy and are virtually untouchable. We are in an unjust war and on and on..... What we need here is a compasionate and proven leader.
Why not Hillary Clinton ? She has championed, women's issues, education and health care when most politician wanted to ignore them. She has been a relentless fighter for her constituents. Always controversial because of her stands for the people, she has been vilified and investigated and none of the supposed issues had any merit.
It's not over yet. Democrats choose their nominee at the convention based upon our votes in the primary. Except this time if Obama the academic, the false prophet, the poser, has his way. He has worked a scam an the fix is in. He could steal the nomination if the status quo prevails.
However, let us look at what is possible.
Three hundred elected delegates sign the petition: hrc300delegates@yahoo.com, Hillary signs the petition, elected delegates examine their consciences and choose the one, the candidate who will serve the citizens of this nation, Hillary Clinton. Would this be miraculous? No, it is achievable.
Encourage any delegate you know to sign the petition and support Hillary Clinton.
This is the victory symbol of the poser that will be used to shut out dissention. This is why the DNC wants to keep from holding a traditional convention with a roll call vote. This is why they don't want Hillary's name in nomination. They want to railroad this man into position without letting rank and file Democrats have their voices heard.
Let's take a good look at this symbol. Here in lies the truth. It's a big ZERO, nothing.
There is no substance here , no progress, only a void.
I was sitting in a service station getting my vehicle inspection the other day and picked up the local entertainment paper. In it was an article about blacks supporting black candidates. The issue was dated July 17 and the article was titled something like, Where Art Thou Brother? It criticized any black person critical of Obama . The author ordained him as the new black leader.If this speaks for popular sentiment, members of the African American community will have difficulty speaking out. giving us all something to consider.
A community news paper article on GroveParc after the Boston Globe story hit.shows that the residents are ignoring Obama and friends part in promoting and profiting from this issue. The residents themselves are doing what they can to save the property and are apparently succeeding
This week's news has been full of remarks by pundits talking about McCain's remarks claiming that Obama plays the race card. One pundit last night even suggested that McCain's campaign "suckered" Obama into tripping himself up by ignoring Obama's first remarks that ..people will try to scare you about me by saying that I look different, that I'm black. Insisting that their not commenting on the remark would lead to Obama making the remark again, therefore creating an issue. It is ridiculous, the proposition that the McCain campaign can manipulate the Obama campaign.
There is also an outcry that McCain uses personal attacks and not policy statements. Actually, what does the campaign have to work with? Obama does not talk about how he will get things done, he talks about pie in the sky, gives motivational speeches and performance rallies in the US and now in Europe to cameras held by the fawning news media. There is nothing to approach him on but his personality. Barack's campaign does not want to hold too many debates or do town hall meetings because they can not control the message in that environment and start to become accountable for substance. Here is a video about a Chicago developer stating his views about the candidate:
The Obama brand was born in his two books, and an Axelrod campaign that exercises strangle hold control over what you to see. "Read about me in my book" is a wonderful way to make sure that people only know what you want them to know about you. It is not the best way to really know the person.
I've seen lots of Brand Launch Campaigns before and have found that the stronger the promotion the more dissatisfied I was with the product. Don't you recall seeing a big build up for a movie and being disappointed with the performance? This is what we are seeing, a heavily influenced promotion.

Weapons of the Obama campaign
I’ve been trying to put my thoughts into perspective on the prejudice and hatred that the Obama Campaign has enflamed. From Barack’s advisors, male supporters, the DNC and the pundits, to the women who just don’t get it, I’m becoming more aware of the injustice of the ploys being used to promote this man. Obviously, some of those cited are serving as his surrogates. Supporters only take the bait. Sexism is more acceptable than racism and Obama has been banking on it.
The pundits are largely anti Hillary and un/consciously misogynistic. It’s OK in their world to ridicule a woman for her figure, dress, age or personal habits. Hillary is still a sex object with a timer running out on her perceived value. If Hillary Clinton were black, these men and women would have all received the Imus treatment, because while sexism is permissible, being both racist and sexist is not. Meanwhile, the black candidate, Obama, faces little critical analysis as it’s too dangerous. The news media has learned their lesson, and Barack relies on it.

Religious figures, long term advisors and friends, Rev. Wright and Fr. Pfleger, revel in employing race baiting tirades that accuse Hillary of oppressing the black community thereby pointing a finger at all white women. The irony here is women have never been empowered and have been struggling for just treatment many times right alongside the Black Civil Rights Movement. In addition, many leaders in the black community who enjoyed Hillary’s support have now abandoned her under pressure to save their political futures. Obama also has a relationship with the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakahn, who is a member of his sorry circle of South Side radical “religious” friends. Defamation of character and bearing false witness are not sins in these churches. Using the pulpit and their positions to ridicule women and preach politics are not considered abuse of purpose. This is just short of a home run here, since Barack is only missing a disturbed radical Rabbi acting out against Hillary and white women to make the ecumenical lineup complete.
He only now resigns from Trinity Church under media pressure in an attempt to distance himself from 20 years of association with the radical three religious leaders.
Male supporters of Obama freely use terms like, “bitch”, “cunt”, ‘lesbian”, “whore”, “witch”, when referring to Hillary. Phrases such as “fuck her”, “suck my dick”; “iron my shirt” are used by males of all ages without any sense of shame or impropriety. They display obscene gestures with an air of absolute entitlement and justified aggression. Younger supporters make “age remarks”, suggesting anyone over 60 should just die so as to not become a future burden to them. This is their sense of Obama’s “Hope” and “Change”. Yet they insist that these same demographic groups they insult fall in line to support their candidate.
Women who just don’t “get it” are those who voice the same sentiments as the male Obama supporters. They are naive or ignorant, and they blame Hillary for staying in her marriage and for her husband’s infidelity. Some simply say that they HATE her. You can include Michelle Obama here, since she does “get it “and “uses it”. Then there are those who believe that THE BIBLE tells them that a woman just should not be a leader, because some man with an agenda explained it that way.
Michelle Obama, his wife, is the wealthy, mansion dwelling, corporate climber attorney with a radical racial agenda who plays up the fifties stereotype of the housewife for mostly white crowds, but channels Rev. Wright for mostly black audiences. She acts the unfortunate victim while listing all of her entitlements. She’s been a victim of affirmative action.
Barack Obama’s sexist actions and statements are no laughing matter either. References to his mother, whom he trivializes in a Time magazine article, are only an expediency to be used in proclaiming that he was a poor child raised by a “single mother”. Remarks and actions during debates and along the campaign trail have been denigrating to women yet mostly ignored by the media and the Democratic Party. Claims of racism are used to deflect valid criticisms when no other response is available or valid. He’s also leveraging on sexual entitlement to make it all work for him.
His stump speeches are also tailored to his audience. “Bitter people clinging to their guns and religion” was not supposed to leave a closed room in San Francisco filled of elite donors he was pressing for contributions.
Additionally, he’s an inexperienced political climber who has accomplished next to nothing in office. Instead he took credit for the work of others in the Illinois Senate to get where he is today. He has succeeded only in taking care of the interests of his contributor Rezko, himself (mansion) and also Exelon Corp to further the interests of his campaign chief, Axelrod. His constituents have only mattered to him as a means to winning his next political position.

Sen. Barack Obama approached first overflow in the parking lot outside of the Scranton town hall, and immediately went to Denise Mercuri, a pharmacist from Dunmore who was wearing a Hillary Clinton button. She held an Obama button in her hand, and he asked what he needed to do to get her to wear his instead of his rival's. "What do I need to do? Do you want me on my knees?" he asked.
He then conceded, keeping with his flirty trend of the day (see earlier report), "I'll give you a kiss."
The DNC or better yet the internal powerbrokers referenced as “the old boys’ club”. The fellows here are afraid that Hillary Clinton will handle issues long waiting to be addressed: universal health care and women’s rights. Men who enjoyed Hillary’s support during politically tough times have turned on her: Teddy Kennedy, the spineless swimmer of Chappaquiddick, is one. This party has never asked a man to stop campaigning. Worse , it is a case of them turning her down for the inexperienced, preppy male some king makers in Illinois have groomed to take first place. Obama has won campaigns on legal technicalities before. The DNC will expect her and all of her supporters to fall in line and do everything to protect and support this man.
Geraldine Ferraro has upset the status quo within the DNC by stating the obvious. As a former Vice Presidential candidate, she should enjoy some level of credibility in the DNC.
It would be a mistake to make Barack Obama the nominee of the Democratic Party, because he will not win a General Election. Too many Hillary supporters simply will not vote for him. He is too radical to experience a wave of Republican Party cross over voters.
Hillary herself could not convince me to vote for Obama. If the DNC were manipulative enough to insist that Hillary Clinton take the Vice Presidential spot, I would not vote for this “dream” ticket.
The only change that the Obama campaign should be able to bring about is to cause the nation as a whole to examine the way it regards 51% of the population, the country’s females.
"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go
outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens,
nature and the Divine. Because only then does one feel that all is as it
should be and that the Divine wishes to see people happy, amidst the
simple beauty of nature."
