Palin criticizes Obama AGAIN in solo appearance
ap ^ | 9.04.08 ... 13 minutes ago | SARA KUGLER

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Thursday took an immediate swipe at Democratic nominee Barack Obama in her first solo campaign appearance since joining the GOP ticket. The Alaska governor also issued a fund-raising appeal that blamed the Democratic presidential ticket for spreading "misinformation and flat-out lies" about her family and her.

Palin met with Republican governors Thursday and said afterward that leading a state means you have to make decisions and not just vote "present."

"We don't have a 'present' button as governor — we are expected to lead, we are expected to take action and not just vote 'present,'" said Palin, who is in her first term as Alaska's governor. "So there's a big difference, of course, between the executive and legislative branches and our experience."

Palin was referring to Obama's days in the Illinois Senate, when he voted "present" dozens of times among the thousands of votes he cast in his eight years there.......

Yes, the MSM will NEVER put a Republican in context in a report, but they will a Dim.

Obama’s dissing her as a “small town mayor” for 5 days straight, refusing to even address her as Governor Palin, ever, made her push back on him.

Of course the MSM will not tell the public that.

Sara Kugler (Associated Press writer) political campaign contributions link...

America Coming Together (ACT) was a liberal, political action, 527 group dedicated to get-out-the-vote activities. ACT did not specifically endorse any political party, but mostly worked on behalf of Democratic candidates. It was the largest 527 group in 2004 and was planning to be involved in future races. The group was primarily funded by Peter Lewis, George Soros, and labor unions, especially the Service Employees International Union, and was led by Steve Rosenthal, a former political director of the AFL-CIO.

I guess the whole "numbers" thing is a bit above the writer's pay grade.

Obama was the only senator to vote “present” dozens of times, even on bills with widespread bipartisan support, but were in some way controversial.

Leadership. Right.

In Ill., the YES button is green and the NO button is red.
The “Present” button is colored yellow, for a reason.

Would make a great TV commercial:

Graphics showing the vote counts, then duties of President to confront our nation’s enemies (with their pics).

At conclusion:

“John McCain, decision maker”

“Barack Obama (pause) “present”

And the great thing is the MSM has to quote her.

They can't just dismiss her comments, or card stack, because to many others are ready to report.

Her comments will continue to be right out front, with bHo unable to NOT counter them.

Her very presence makes her relevant.

This wussy has had to deal with bad headlines for ONE WEEK and is a whining and sniveling child.

How is this idiot going to face down Putin and Achmadinejad???

He is so divisive and everyone is finding this out.

Just wait until they find out he is really a Muslim and NOT an American Citizen!

Oh baloney. There were not thousands of pieces of legislation pushed through the Illinois Senate while Obama was there. The author is going to have to provide a list of all that legislation he supposedly voted on before I'll buy this crap.

We really need to start using the term ‘community agitator’ .. like death tax it’s true.

Obama was paid to “rub raw the sores of discontent” (alinsky, make these people feel miserable and bond them together and demand what they deserve, or else.

Don’t take my word for it look at what one of Obama’s mentors, Mike Kruglik, said about Obama:

“He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better.”

When liberals start acting like they’re opposed to pre-marital sex and mothers having careers, you know McCain’s vice presidential choice has knocked them back on their heels. - Ann Coulter
***Oooh, I like that, almost tagline worthy. I’d suggest it as your tagline but I like it already. I myself fell in love with Sarah when my sister bit a moose, see below.

Palin/Coulter 2012

p.s. there are rules...

.

.

Here’s how I’ve been bumping Palin/Obama threads.

Sung to the tune of “Oh! Susanna, don’t you cry for me.”

“Oh, no Bama, please don’t lie to me... for I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.”

I come from Minnesota with my laptop on my knee;
I’m goin’ to Free Republic my true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left,
the weather it was dry;
The sun so hot I froze to death,
Obama don’t you lie.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I come from Minnesota,
with my laptop on my knee.

I had a dream the other night,
When everything was still;
I thought I saw Obama dear,
A-coming for The Hill.
The smearing lie was in Duluth,
The tear was in his eye,
Said I, I’m coming for the truth
Obama don’t you lie.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.

I fight in my pajamas,
It’s plain for all to see.
I aim to be the next Buckhead;
The media all hate me.
I fell in love with Sarah
When my sister bit a moose.
The Guvnor’s family ate it up
And then they set it loose.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.

She loves her sons, she likes her guns,
and Trigonometry.
The media will jump the shark
When Juan makes history.
Well, JimRob knows she’ll pave the trolls
So controversially,
And Berg will knock Obama down
With friends of Hillary.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.

I soon will be in Hawaii,
And then I’ll look all ‘round,
And when I find his birth record,
I’ll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find it,
This Freeper’ll surely die,
And when I’m dead and buried,
Obama don’t you lie.

Oh! No Bama, don’t you cry for me;
I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee
