Elizabeth Berry's Blog: McCain's Selection of Palin is Lipstick on a Pig
Palin does not change one single thing of what the Republicans are offering which is four more years of George Bush. All that McCain did was to put lipstick on the Pig (the Bush Administration whose failed strategies have wrecked our nation). Nothing has changed except for an exciting and sexy dash of lipstick to freshen up their tired old face of more of the same.
The same people who do not like the Bush Administration for what it has done to this nation are not going to be fooled by the lipstick on the pig. And it they think that the American public are so stupid that they will rush over now and kiss their pig of a platform because it is wearing a fresh touch of lipstick, well I think they will be surprised. Economically, the majority of Americans are at the breaking point. Most American families literally cannot stand another four more years of the same.
That is exactly why we had so many Republicans giving testimony at our convention as to why they were crossing over. The message was the same: They simply could no longer afford to vote Republican. Palin does not change that message. She is more of the same.
Judging from McCains choice, he seems to think that our Democratic Campaign is built on the purpose of electing the first black man as President. That is not, nor has it ever been the purpose of the Barack Obama campaign.
The purpose and message of Barack Obama's campaign has always been CHANGE and it remains so--to change this country before conservatives totally destroy it with their tax breaks for the wealthy and for coporate America; to rebuild this nation by creating new jobs and restoring worldwide respect for our nation; to unite our country in a common purpose; to end our reliance on fossil fuel in the next 10 years--not to drill for more.
Palin changes nothing in terms of what the Republicans are offering. They are still offering a ticket of more of the same: more tax breaks for the weathy, more disdain for global warming, more war, more disregard for rebuilding our educational system in America, more continued privatization of our nation.
WE NEED TO REMEMBER AND NOT BE THROWN OFF OUR MESSAGE. THE REASON THE DEMOCRATS HAVE SUCH SWELLING SUPPORT IS BECAUSE OF ECONOMICS AND THE WAR IN IRAQ--Palin represent more of the same. She changes nothing.
In a way a Palin is a good thing because now we can focus on the real issues. The REAL issues for Americans do not include whether we elect the first black president of our nation or whether we elect the first woman vice president .
AMERICANS HAVE A CLEAR CHOICE: CHANGE OR MORE OF THE SAME.
Demorats offer change. Republicans offer more of the same. Palin is a red herring, lipstick on the Republican pig to distract Americans from the real issue that under the leadership of the Republicans the last 8 years, our country is falling apart.
Both Palin and McCain think that Americans are whiners. What do you think? Are you a whiner? Do you want more of the same? If you don't, then get out and register at least 5 people and tell them why they should vote a straight Democratic ticket this year.
We need to PUSH this. PUSH. PUSH. PUSH.
They started taking cheap pot shots at Sarah. We didnt start this sh*t. But we are going to finish and we are going to finish them.
Opening up your party’s site and your campaign’s site for blogs does not seem wise. I hope the GOP and the McCain campaign have not done so.
Here is a
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh_ipqk6dj4 Video from former Democrats.
Better lipstick on a pig’s lips than warts on the hog’s arse.
The democrats are known to overindulge in pork, but they probably aren’t too happy about the New York Post’s Headline, Holy Sow.
i have a funny feeling that once word gets round, this will disappear from the democrats’ website.
These clowns have been saying this for years and I suppose most believe it. This is what happens when you don't defend yourself, your enemies define you.
DNC you can put a suit and a Harvard Law degree on a Dick Head and all you have is a Dick Head.
Who is Elizabeth Berry?
My first thought hearing about this this morning was that it was petty, but after seeing the video of the New Age Man insulting a good conservative...it looks like the Church of the Perpetually Offended has hoisted itself on its own petard.
So don’t let them off the hook, let them twist in the wind.
Yep, any of you weak kneed Dem defenders want to say it wasnt about Sarah now? Or will you cower in the corner and pretend it was still an unfortunate phrase to use?
All of this is from the party that brought us:
George McGovern
Jimmy Carter
Bill Clinton
Al Gore
John (I went to Vietnam)Kerry
Harry Reid
Nancy Pelosi
Barack zerObama
If you’re a feminist in good standing and you’ve done your reading, you should know by now that Sarah Palin is more man than woman, that she gave birth to a child with Down Syndrome to curry favor with Evangelics, and, well, she can’t debate, but she sure looks darn good in a swimsuit!
“Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.”

Love the graphic, and your tagline! LOL.
Next week the democrats start the "Sarah Palin is a poopy-face" campaign.
this was an obvious Lipstick Smear, and must not go unblotted
As mandatory as the Helen Thomas photo.
Dingle Berry’s sister
The democrats are sounding like Pee Wee Herman (I know I am but what are you?) to the Republicans John Wayne “I stick to simple themes. Love. Hate. No nuances. I stay away from psychoanalyst’s couch scenes. Couches are good for one thing.”
Who you think America is going to want running thier economy and security?
The same people who do not like the Bush Administration for what it has done to this nation are not going to be fooled by the lipstick on the pig. ....................... “Do not like”?, don’t they mean “hate”, the whiners who are still trying to punch chads to prove they won. Lets face it, our Congress has let the American People down. Yeah, it will be the same old programs, with the same ole problems, the elected officials in Congress, who have proven themselves to be worthless after 4-5 terms. The Congress needs an enema, get those old timers the hell out of there and bring in some new blood. No mater who wins, nothing is going to change that much. I hope that with a McCain win, there will be some kick ass in your face attitude, not the wishy washy that we’ve had in the past 4 terms.
Congress Is The Change We Need!
George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. During the first six years, the economy was fine except for enduring the worst terrorist attack in U.S. History. The government had to step in and help the airlines and taxpayers gave millions to survivors in the twin towers.
It wasn’t until about a year ago that:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high—14,000 +
5) Americans were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas, and living large!...
But Americans wanted ‘CHANGE’!
So, what did they do? In 2006, they voted in a Democratic Congress & yep—we got ‘CHANGE’ all right.
PAY ATTENTION TO THIS PEOPLE! THIS IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted;
2) Gasoline is now approximately $4 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS & prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) As I write this, THE DOW is probing another low (11,100); $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM OUR STOCKS, BONDS, & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!
AND IF THAT ISN’T ENOUGH...
Speaker Of The House, Nancy Pelosi, & Senate Majority leader, Harry Reed (both democrats), will not allow a vote on more oil exploration in the USA.
YEP...IN 2006, AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE!.....AND WE SURE GOT IT!!!...
NOW OBAMA, the DEM’S CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT, CLAIMS THAT HE’S GONNA REALLY GIVE US CHANGE!!....
JUST HOW MUCH MORE DEMOCRATIC ‘CHANGE’ DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND???...
So Obama takes part of his comments yesterday from a Tom Toles cartoon, and is inspired to talk about "lipstick on a pig" from this? I wonder where the fish metaphor came from.
If he becomes President, an unfriendly nation's leader would be able to guess how he would respond to a crisis by checking out the advice being given on DailyKos and other left-wing websites.
I’m going to refer to the democrat party as the anti-woman party from now on. They’ve got a candidate that has a pattern of belittling woman. Palin, Hillary, the reporter that he called honey. And the democrat establishment sided with an inexperienced community organizer to be their leader, and tossed aside hillary. And she was co-president afterall.
At least McLame didn’t buy a pig in a poke the way the Dems did. Suckers!
Seems to me that the dems are trying to cover their butts on the “lipstick” issue by having several blogs and talking heads use the “lipstick” comment to refer to Bush administration policies in an effort to divert attention from the real intention of Obama when he made the comment originally. This supposedly gives Obama plausible deniability when he says his comment did not refer to Palin while, at the same time, his minions are crucifying Gov Palin.
I am sure pigs all across America will vote for Palin. She will get the PORK out of Washington!

You are Absolutely correct. We Must keep saying Over and Over again that All America’s problems are the Fault of Democrats.
It is the Democrats who were responsible for the attacks of 9/11.
It is the Democrats who are responsible for the long Iraq War by failing to support their Commander in Chief.
It is the Democrats who are responsible for the increase in energy costs by refusing to drill.
It is the Democrats who are responsible for the economic downturn (if there is a downturn).
All our problems are from the Democrats, the Republicans are blameless.

"I wish there was someway for more to read it--maybe you can re-post this one?"
a minor point, actually. note that the blog item is from august 30th; nobama’s remark was from yesterday.
Lipstick AND glasses. This pic is directly from the Democretin blog cited in the article.
You just might see it on TV.......
In the article at the following link, there is this: Democratic Congressman Russ Carnahan on Tuesday — introducing Joe Biden at a campaign event — ripped into Palin’s record and punctuated it with this snarky jab. “There’s no way you can dress up that record, even with a lot of lipstick,” he said. Later in the day, Obama used a variation of the lipstick line, though he was clearly talking about the McCain-Palin reform rhetoric. “You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “It’s still a pig.”

Some change.
He just cant stop putting his foot in his mouth can he?
I hope someone captures a screenshot of this site before it's purged. It really needs sent to Rush and Hannity.
I’m waiting for a McCain ad that says something about an issue, or addresses something other than the Democrats... “tax and spend” is tired ... and unfounded. Ya want me to believe in you, Mr. M? Then step up.
The Obama camp stared this and we will finish it.
If they wanted to talk about issues they should have laid off the cutsie stuff. Apparently they want it both ways. Not gonna happen.
That is some atrocious writing right there. It reads like a Chinese take-out menu.
They are just making it worse and worse for themselves.
Right click, choose “view source” in Firefox and save the HTML to your hard drive.
Then you can recreate it whenever you want....:)
From the reaction of his audience, even they thought he was referring to Sarah. They all laughed hysterically and stood up.
Bookmark!
You’ve summed it up quite nicely...
