I see McCain, I see Obama, I see Biden, but no Sarah.
Sarah is who most of us want to see, so where is she?
Last week C-BS showed McCain, Obama and Biden within minutes, but no Sarah.
Oprah won't invite Sarah on her show.
Why won't they show the charismatic Sarah campaigning among the cheering crowds, as they did with Obama?
Are they afraid?
Definitely not the AP that reported NoBama’s speech in Jacksonville Florida today (Sea of people, rapturous welcome blah blah..)
Lets see what they report about Palin’s rally tomorrow at the Villages where there should be at least the same number if not more than NoBama’s crowd today.
There loss.. Sarah Palin is their biggest draw now. I am not watching the News tonight, seems all they want to do on all the news channels is talk about how White Democrats are not voting for Obama because he is black. Like that is going to make them vote for Obama. (rolls eyes)
Smearing her wasn’t working, so now it’s a total blackout. Clearly they take their marching orders from Obama.
Good observation. Two thoughts.
a) The meltdown of the financial system deservedly went front page this past week. Palin mania took back seat.
b) Obama and team finally figured out that they need to shut up and completely ignore Palin. And their buddies in the mainstream media by and large got the clue from team Obama to ignore her as well.
Good point.
seriously, isn’t Sarah on a break? Isn’t she beginning to flame out from “all sarah, all the time”? We don’t want her to become Barack-ized...
when you hear the american media criticize another country because they
do not have a “free press”,
i just want to gag.
All you have to do is run a news check on Obama on either Yahoo or Google, and all the articles are about how Obama is losing Democrats and Union Members because he is black.
They do not get that most are not voting for Obama because his name is funny sounding, he can not get away from it “BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA” and he has no experience, is way too far to the left, and likes to abort babies, and attends a racist church, has friends in jail.. Rezko, and i could go on an on
and nothing about the fact that 95% of blacks won’t vote for a white guy(or even a liberal white woman in the primaries_
“Lets see what they report about Palin’s rally tomorrow at the Villages where there should be at least the same number if not more than NoBama’s crowd today.”
I expect another blackout.
Yes, it is their loss. LMSM doesn’t even care about ratings, or their credibility - they just want Obama to win.
“Smearing her wasn’t working, so now it’s a total blackout. Clearly they take their marching orders from Obama.”
LMSM acts as if they are on Obama’s payroll.
Well I got news for the LMSM calling everyone racist because they are not going to vote for Obama is losing him votes. You know what they say "you can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still just a pig".. LMSM.
Be glad they’re not showing her. They’d just smear her anyways.
I was never enthusiastic about McCain, but Sarah is a hardcore conservative I can get behind. The way they’ve been treating her just makes me sick.
Hellllloooo didn’t you get the memo????? No focus on Sarah; make it about McCain...did you think that strategy only applied to Barack?
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/the_drumbeat.html
The drumbeat. It’s always there. Day and night. Rain or shine. Winter or Summer. Sunday or Monday. It comes at you from every direction. It comes over the TV, the radio, at work, at school, in music, in the newspapers, from the politicians, in conversation with others, even in church. It wears you down. It robs you of the will to resist its message. Even short-lived victories, which stop it briefly, leave you with the knowledge that it will return; each minor victory bound to be lost to the redoubled efforts of this patient and persistent force. You can’t escape it. It never stops. It never gives up. It never ends. It rains upon you from every possible angle, from every possible source.
It’s the drumbeat of the left. It is political, philosophical, theological, and social. It pervades every activity. It is post-structural, post-modern, post-everything in the parlance of the day.
(more....)
It was announced. I forget the title of the post but some liberal media gal announced they were about to “move on.” I think she said something like Palin’s excitement was now dead or something and that the media had grown bored and were about to move along. This is their solution to Palin... turn out the lights. Attacking her didn’t work, ignoring her is all they have left.
Full speeches, not "selected" excerpts.
“Attacking her didn’t work, ignoring her is all they have left.”
Bingo!
Plus, attacking her backfired on them.
The communists are desperate and will do anything they can to win.
They did the same to Fred about a year ago.
“This is a good thing.”
I don’t think it is, because some folks will vote for the candidate(s) they see the most, and LMSM knows that.
I think the reason that Obama fizzled out is because Sarah came along, and she’s more charismatic and far more intelligent.
“Check out FOX.
Last week I saw a lot of Sarah...
Full speeches, not “selected” excerpts.”
I’m glad FOX is doing this, but many voters don’t have cable, including me, and I don’t want LMSM picking the winner with their half-truths, and downright lies.
“I got an email from a leftist guy I used to work with several YEARS ago.”
Does he know that you’re a conservative?
I think Hussein was fading long before Palin came on the scene.
She just hurried things along quite a bit.
FRegards,

In their hearts, and down where they live on the left, they don’t care at all about what’s good and clean and decent and honest and fair and right. At the core, they care about evil and its proliferation. Sarah threatens that, so...
“I think Hussein was fading long before Palin came on the scene.
She just hurried things along quite a bit.”
That might be part of it, but Palin is super personable, and she is honest, and got things done, unlike Obama.
“He may be pulling my chain.”
That’s probably it, or maybe he forgot you are a conservative, and you were on his e-mail list with some others.
I understand it is Obamas new strategy to stop talking about Governer Palin and concentrate on McCain because all the smears of Palin was backfiring so the media is going along like good little foot soldiers.
“I understand it is Obamas new strategy to stop talking about Governer Palin and concentrate on McCain because all the smears of Palin was backfiring so the media is going along like good little foot soldiers.”
Guess, it’s true. LMSM is on Obama’s payroll. :)
Obama and team finally figured out that they need to shut up and completely ignore Palin.
*******************************
Exactly what they did with Hunter and Tancredo.
I can remember the look on Charlie Gibson’s face, he acted as if he was extremely ANGRY with Sarah Palin. It was pitiful to watch. Charlie was like an entirely different person from what you see when he does the news.
But Sarah remained her sweet self.
“Exactly what they did with Hunter and Tancredo.”
Yup, and they were my two favorite candidates.
HA! I got pretty much the same (or a similar) email "out of the blue" from a lib acquaintance in NYC with whom I have virtually never discussed politics (she knows I support the Palin/McCain ticket (sic) but we avoid detailed discussions). This might be the new "in-your-face" propaganda wave from the Obamanation.
The lib-spam I received regarding the great anti-Palin rally (/sarcasm) had 25 photos mostly of 2-5 Moonbats at a time, and claimed that it was "the biggest rally in AK history" -- a claim which may be immediately discounted since the organizers claimed 1400 libtards (certainly less than the number of Palin supporters who rallied at the Fairbanks airport to welcome her back to Alaska recently), and which was probably much exaggerated (from the open spaces around most of the anti-Palin demonstrators in the photos I received, it was difficult to believe that they had more than a few hundred at most).
It seems that a new lib talking point is that Governor Palin is being rejected in her own state of Alaska, merely because a few hundred, or at most 1400, raving Moonbats held a rally. Big F-in Deal.
The email circular I received had this title:
"Fw: Pics of Biggest Rally in AK history... anti-Palin printed below the rally description - Alaska in play?"
[if they're dreaming that Alaska is "in play" they are definitely delusional......]
"First, they ignore you for as long as they can
Second, they mention you- with a sneer
Then, they ignore you again..."
Everything about the “Fraud’s” campaign is an illusion.They are now trying to create the illusion that the Sarah Palin bubble has burst. Out of sight, out of mind.
Sneer is so right ... I swear, some of the attacks on the governor, you'd think they were certain she would embarrass this country by using the wrong fork at a state dinner. SHEESH!
Now if you notice anytime he appears, he is surrounded by women to make it look like all women support him and have jumped off the Palin bandwagon. This guy disgusts me. No substance , no ideas, all fake all the time and he is a heartbeat away from the most important job in the world. Right now it is embarrassing for me to be an American.
MSM is making a calculated move to ignore Palin. It’s a lost cause for them. For one thing, they keep her name in the news with their bogus scandle reporting. Egads, their still trying to make something of so-called “troopergate”.
Big problem for MSM is that are forced to cover Palin stump speeches—especially when she’s appearing with McCain. Another problem will be the buzz that is generated from upcoming Palin/Biden(or Hillery) debate. I don’t think the MSM will be able to constrain itself from talking how Biden will “handle” her.
So, Gov. Palin will still be getting plenty of exposure despite MSM’s attempt to bury her. It’s so cool watching both the dem party and MSM try to find an antidote to their Palin Pathology.
“Out of sight, out of mind.”
You nailed it.
“their still trying to make something of so-called “troopergate”.”
I’m calling it TAZERgate. :)
I think the MSM bigwig execs all called each other and realized that they had jumped the shark, that their obsession was hurting Obama rather than helping him. Bummer, they caught on. But at least everyone in America knows who Sarah Palin is. I wish we could say the same thing about Obama.
They can’t ignore the debate on Oct 2. It will make news for her, again, whether they want to, or not.
Ultimately, it does not matter. People vote for Presidents. 0bama doesn’t have it in him to be President. I believe that. He’s unelectable.
Gov. Palin has 5 key jobs, 3 of which she has already accomplished, in spades. 1. Her introduction speech - superb. 2. Her convention speech - fantastic 3. Rallying the base - check. I WILL actually vote for McCain now. 4. The debate. In 2 weeks, we will be a month from the election. During that month, if Palin does well in the debate, and I expect she will - her final job does NOT need media support. 5. Her final job is to show up at every small and mid-sized town on the internal polling ‘counties’ map of which counties are pivotal in which key States. If she comes, people will come.
Think about this: unlike even 0bama and Clinton, both from more or less modest backgrounds - Palin is a true ‘Cinderella’ story. She hasn’t been planning on the WH for 30 of her 45 yrs. Hers is literally a fairy tell - and it resonates. She doesn’t need the media to tell that story.
Thank God McCain picked Palin. I held my breath that 0bama would pick Gov. Sebelius and undo Palin as a potential pick. My co-workers think I’m a genius because I was gushing about Palin for weeks before the pick (thank you, Freepers).
The media cannot ignore away any of her key help to McCain. Even if they want to. After McCain wins, they can feel free to ignore her for a year, or two, if they like. She will be the heir apparent of the Party, though, and, they won’t be able to iggy her forever.
“Bummer, they caught on.”
lol
The LMSM will be crying on Election Day!
“I WILL actually vote for McCain now.”
You have plenty of company, as Gov. Palin is why MANY of us will now be voting for McCain.
I’m sure there will be a live thread on Oct. 2. I can’t wait.
