Is Sarah Palin George Bush in Drag? And Other Burning Questions
Is Sarah Palin George Bush in Drag? And Other Burning Questions
Just wondering, but has anyone ever seen Dubya and Sarah in the same room, much less in the same city? Here’s what I mean: John McCain drags (no pun intended) an unknown politician from a little known state out of the Republican closet just as Gustav starts to look like a threat to the Gulf Coast, and everyone on both sides, including him, immediately scrambles to do the right thing by New Orleans the second time around. One of the McCain’s first moves is to cancel Bush’s Monday in-person speech as he and Sarah start campaigning together and making the appropriate noises about helping Gulf Coast residents.
Yeah, I know, Bush was spotted in a number of places while he monitored the Gustav response, so clearly they’re two different people. But boy, do they sound alike. It’s downright spooky.
For example, in the ensuing days after Gustav proved pretty much a bust and everybody got back to business as usual, among other revelations (with a small “r”), it was revealed that Sarah is an ardent Rapture Rightie who routinely makes comments like: "Our national leaders are sending them out (to Iraq) on a task that is from God. . . That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God's plan."
And, regarding more local Alaska issues, like the natural gas pipeline she’s pushing: "God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that.”
And, in reference to other projects she wanted to implement for her state: "But really all of that stuff doesn't do any good if the people of Alaska's heart isn't right with God."
McCain is supposedly doing his darndest not to be tied to Political Poison Bush politically, yet he chooses as his co-star someone who shares the same bigoted Christian extremist ideology as Dubya. What’s going on here?
For me, the fact that Palin is a woman has nothing to do with my distrust of her as a politician. I think it would be great if a truly qualified, truly leftie female ran for president/vice president and won. A female Dennis Kucinich, perhaps? But cynically choosing a token female to try to attract Hillaryites and Rapture Righties and make feminist history before the Dems do is not the way to go about it.
Yes, she made a very well-received speech last night, but as Joe Biden gently pointed out, she didn’t even bring up the issues that matter to most Americans. If you take away her deft delivery, it was basically just a mud slinger, a typical right-wing attack-mode boilerplate written by a man who should know better, Matthew Scully, a former Bush speechwriter (and ethical vegan!).
Cindy McCain may whine that the media (she includes the leftie blogosphere, I presume) is being sexist with regard to Palin, but I find McCain's remark sexist in itself. Is the press required to handle Palin with kid gloves just because she’s a girl and she may cry if they’re too hard on her? That's hardly likely. And besides, little Sarah from Alaska is playing with the Big Boys now. She’s entered the major leagues. Her record has some very dark stains that need to be examined. Hillary understood that she was in for a rough time of it during her campaign, took her lumps like a “man”, and came through the other end with her dignity intact. So why should the media tip-toe around Palin? And conversely, why aren't Barack Obama and Joe Biden just as tough on her as the media (generally) is?
The reluctance of the Obama campaign to deal with ALL issues no matter how irrelevant they seem (and that includes personal issues, which are, after all, intimately tied to one’s political ideology) is reminiscent of why Kerry lost in 2004. He refused to comment about the lies of the Swift Boat Swifties, thinking they would just go away because they were so absurd, until it was too late. Never underestimate the gullibility of American voters.
I hope Barack Obama thinks about the price he may pay for being nice and “above it all” with regard to Sarah Palin, and not continue to make the mistake of not challenging her personal as well as familial ethics. Because when push comes to shove, Palin’s response to family problems and her Bush-like insistence that she has direct knowledge of “God’s will” are a reflection of how she will deal with the bigger issues, should she make it to the White House.
It’s now become clear that Sarah is one tough cookie, so give ‘er hell, Dems!

Bush & Palin
Bush in drag is a frightening thought, I don't even like to see him dressed as a man. He and Palin don't look that much alike to me. Palin's speech was supposedly written by one of Bush's speechwriters, so maybe that's why she sounded like GWB.
But I have to say that I've never seen Sarah Palin and Tina Fey in the same place, and they DO look alike. In fact, I wonder if it's Palin we've been seeing on "30 Rock." And maybe Tina Fey made that speech at the convention...
Thank God we vote for values and experience, not looks
And Obama and Bidden have none. And, BTW, Obama took the US flag off the tail of his plane and replaced it with his egocentrist new age symbol. But then we all know how anti American he really is.

Looks
Hmmm, you don't think Sarah Palin's youthful, photogenic appearance has ANYTHING to do with her rock-star style popularity?
I couldn't care less about whether someone puts a flag on his airplane or his lapel. That doesn't make someone more patriotic.
The flag WAS on the airplane. He took it down.
That should tell you about his "patriotism". And he refuses to place his hand on his heart when the National Anthem is played, as any patriotic American would do. Kind of like makes you wonder where the love for his country stands. And I say "for his country" because we still have no idea which is his country.

Again
I couldn't care less about the decorations on a candidate's plane. If Obama plastered his plane with the American flag, you'd still call him fraud, non-American, un-American, etc., so I don't see why you even bother mentioning the flag business.
Plenty of people don't put their hand on their heart. To say all of them are unpatriotic is bizarre.
Maybe because he is sending a message?
Why take it down and give his detractors more ammo against him? Plain stupid, or intentionally a message.
Either way, pathetic.

Message
And maybe John McCain was sending a message by putting up a huge image of Walter Reed Middle School behind him when he spoke at the GOP convention!
Or maybe his staff doesn't know the difference between a major medical center and a middle school, LOL...
In any case, I'm sure veghead is happy to have comments on her post so that more people will read it.
"Egocentrist new age symbol"
which symbol is that? i haven't seen anything that looks new age to me but i've had a rough week. (just wondering. thanks)

New age symbol?
Lmo, that's not a "new age symbol," that's his campaign logo. It's an "O" (first letter of his last name) in red, white and blue, with red lines made to resemble the stripes in the flag.
I'd hate to think what you'd read into the ice cubes in a magazine liquor ad, LOL. Or the Xomba logo (what does the line above the o, or under the m, symbolize? And what are those three marks over the b?)
Idlewild, who's Tina Fey?
Oh yeah, I just got a memory flash. She does kind of resemble Fey, doesn't she?
Her speech, as I mentioned somewhere, was written by Matthew Scully, a former Bush speechwriter, RW Christian, AND ethical vegan (he wrote an excellent book called "Dominion" a few years back about animal rights). Which goes to show you that you can be a Bible thumper and an animal rights advocate at the same time.
Hi, Elmor!!
Americans actually vote for the sexiest candidates. Forget "values" and experience. Haven't you noticed?
Flags have come to mean "Wasting Iraq is cool"
I have a flag in the window of my car, but it's a peace flag, to distinguish my political ethics from right wingers.
I live for comments, Idle
Great point about Walter Reed. What a dumb gaff! Some McCain staffer googles Walter Reed to find a graphic for the campaign and doesn't even check to see if it's the correct WR! It's like something out of Monty Python. You couldn't make this stuff up. ;)
Tina Fey
I think she's the lady in the American Express commercials.
I'm going to start a rumor that if Palin had turned McCain down, McCain was going to look for an Amy Poehler lookalike for VP.
I find it curious that Palin is called a "fresh face"
Because her ethics are so medieval and worn out. In many ways, she seems more "old age" than McCain. Ironic, huh?
Yeah, GW Bush is very sexy, LOL.

I Foresee Sarah Palin Playing the Victim-Card Hard & Often
I can see the headline: "Sarah Palin: Little Shepherd-Girl Lost among Wolfy, Wild Carnivores"
But she would be safe with you, Veg!

Laura must think George is sexy, Elmor
although it's hard to fathom. And I suspect Karl Rove has had a crush on Dubya ever since he first saw him in Texas, swaggering around in his cowboy outfit. What else would explain his bizarre behavior ever since? ;)
Sarah is a wolf in sheep's clothing, mythman
and ironically, she's responsible for the aerial killing of hundreds of wolves since she's been in office, which effectively cancels out her claim that she's "pro-life" (pro-life to her means nothing more than pro-human blastocyst/embryo/fetus). But I'm sure she'll play whatever cards she needs to get what she wants, which seems to be the presidency. Heaven help America is all I've gotta say.
Tina Fey IS Sarah Palin
Wonder how her George Bush is? Be that as it may, her SNL impersonation was pretty nifty (although that other actress/Hillary wannabe needs to work on hers more).
National security experience: I can see Russia from my house!
Yeah, Hawaii is a foreign country
Elmor, plenty of American citizens (e.g., military brats) have grown up in foreign countries, and they're as American as you or me. So Obama spends a few years of his childhood in Indonesia and Hawaii and you believe that proves he's not American? How xenophobic (and just plain ignorant) can you get?
Sarah Palin CANNOT see Russia from her house
That's yet another McCain campaign claim that has been disproven. The curvature of the earth makes it impossible, as if seeing Russia gives her lots of foreign policy experience.
My favorite part of the skit was when Hillary said that she opposes the Bush Doctrine and Sarah laughingly said that she doesn't know what that means. Anyone who saw her ABC Good Morning America interview last week knows that the skit wasn't far from the truth, except that Palin, instead of admitting her ignorance, tried to B.S. her way through it.
DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?
Obama's Citizenship has already been proven
As I wrote yesterday, the contention that Obama is either not a citizen or the digital copy on his website is fake has been rendered moot. FactCheck.org held the physical birth certificate in their hands and subjected it to close scrutiny and analysis. They are satisfied it meets the U.S. State Department requirements for a U.S. birth certificate. My article:

McCain doesn't have an American flag on his aircraft's tail
The flag on the campaign jet is another attempt to divert attention away from the real issues. As these articles prove, John McCain's aircraft doesn't have an American flag on its tail but BOTH McCain's and Obama's aircraft have American flags on the fuselage.
No American Flag on the Republican John McCain's Plane Tail
Urban Legends: Obama Removes U.S. Flag from Campaign Plane
DO YOU HAVE THE WRITE STUFF?
Most of us know more about the Bush Doctrine than Sarah
Sounds like she was too busy raising too many kids at the same time she was pursuing her local political ambitions to notice what was going on in the world around her.
Hey, on a (very) clear day I can see Mexico from my house, (kinda sorta, if you ignore the curvature of the earth, of course). Does that make ME qualified as a national security expert? If that's all it takes, I'll sign up to run for the White House and make "Go Vegan" my campaign slogan.
Ah-nold should be allowed to run for Presinator
IMO, while anyone who runs for office should be an American citizen, I think the native-born requirement for the presidency is xenophobic. If Obama is a citizen, but he happened to be born in another country, his citizenship is all that should matter.
E.g., although he may never have been interested in running for president, one of the all-time classiest members of Congress was Tom Lantos of California, Hungarian-born and raised and a Holocaust survivor. Often the best Americans are the ones who were born elsewhere, because they appreciate more than us spoiled native-born Americans what we have here.
So why not give Governor Ah-nold from Austria a chance at the White House if he wants it? I'm not saying I'm in love with his politics, but he's paid his dues and he should be given the same chance as other candidates to run.
@vH--Sympathy for 'the Devil' (Sarah Palin-SHEEP in WOLVES' pit)
(when I say Sarah Palin's 'the devil,' I'm referring to the C.A.N.O.E.'s definition of the devil, "the boat's hull's seam at the surface of the water")
If she were truly 'in sheep's clothing,' you couldn't have found out about the wolfyness. As you did see the wolfy-ness, that is what she was 'wearing.'
She HAS to be wolf-clothed playing with the wolves of any politick. But I'm sure (and one man KNOWS) that her heart's as sheepy as any Grand Old Partier's
