SARAH PALIN'S PING LIST
During the live shows, judges will give a score based on several factors, including technical execution. But the judges’ scores alone do not decide a couple’s fate.
Phone lines, text votes (AT&T customers only) & online polls will open at the top of each performance show so that viewers can vote for their favorites.
Phone & text lines will stay open for 30 minutes after the end of the show. Online voting will remain open until 11am (Eastern Time) the next day.
Bristol Palin & Mark Ballas 800-868-3407
It will be announced at the beginning of the show how many times we are allowed to vote on each phone. Last week it was 5 times, and it decreases each week.
Try to vote at the beginning of the show before lines are jammed.
Phone Voting Information: Begins at 8pm

Go Bristol !
Vote for Bristol and watch the libtards’ heads explode.
VOTE and VOTE OFTEN..everyone put on your ACORN hats tonight and vote like a Dem. I will start voting online repeatedly using every ridiculous email address I could create..and I will call the 800 number as soon as it airs here(the phone call won’t go through until the show comes on in your area)
The liberals will, of course, be out in force to vote for anyone other than Bristol. But according to them, this would be cheating ...
Some Reasons to Root for The Pistol
As many have noted, Bristol, unlike her competitors, started out with zero performance experience in either showbiz or pro sports. In that sense, she began as the bottom underdog with many obstacles to overcome.
Anyone who has viewed DWTS objectively should see that her performances, overall, have been clearly better than at least half, maybe even as high as 2/3 of the original 12 competitors. Sure, not all of her dances have gone well, but she’s done superbly at times.
She’s worked extremely hard and improved remarkably.
Her performances, overall, have been at least as good as, and many believe better than, likeable Disney star Kyle’s. Although he, too, outlasted the more highly skilled Brandy because his fan base promoted him to the finals, there wasn’t even a peep of criticism against his supporters. All the venom was heaped on Bristol and her backers. Clearly a double standard.
Another unfair hurdle has been the judges’ scoring. Higher scores have often gone to those who’ve done no better than, and sometimes worse than, Bristol has.
In addition she is, to my knowledge, the only contestant being targeted by extraordinary intimidation tactics, including the sending of envelopes with mysterious white powders and death threats - all of which is designed to mess with her head and mar her performances.
She needs extra viewer votes just to help level the playing field.
While it’s true that some back her because she’s her mother’s daughter, it’s equally true that many hate and ridicule her for the same reason. The political biases on both sides cancel each other out.
Some say votes should be cast solely on the basis of who’s the most technically skilled dancer. Without doubt, Jennifer Grey is the most talented, well-trained and professional dancer of the season.
But this ain’t the Olympics, folks. It’s a dancer popularity contest (the rules say to vote for your “favorite”) and is set in the context of broader pop cultural issues.
So in addition to taking technical dance skills into account, it’s completely reasonable, especially in light of contemporary cultural issues and conflicts, to evaluate performers based on other criteria as well.
Bristol has lately shown the good sense, humility and moral courage to speak out publicly in favor of sexual abstinence before marriage. Rather than taking the easy narcissistic road of self-justification and relativism, she’s changed course and taken the smart stance. Even better, she’s working to influence kids who are being led astray by rejection of Judeo-Christian Biblical values and mandates designed for human protection and wellbeing.
She’s a Christian and a political conservative.
She’s demonstrated extraordinary grace under fire.
For any who have qualms about casting multiple votes, here are the official voting rules: http://abc.go.com/shows/dancing-with-the-stars/about-voting
There’s no rule against casting multiple votes.
In fact ABC’s voting instructions encourage individuals to do exactly that.
So have at it.
Brandy wuz robbed!
I could have cared less about this DWTS.......UNTIL they got all wee wee’d up about it. Now I will try to vote early and often.... Because now I have some “skin” in the game!
I’ve never watched DWTS, but I hope Bristol wins.

I’ve never watched.
Probably won’t watch.
But I’ll vote tonight!
Vote vote vote like the dems do.. often...
I want this girl to win just to tick off the MSM!
Breaking News? Really?
Never voted on any of these type shows but I read that Bristol received death threats just for dancing and making it this far in the competition. They must be doing something right to have upset the worlocks like that. I’ll go ahead and vote for her tonight.

p.s. - I’m a conservative so I’ll only vote one time.
My advise as always -— VOTE FOR THE BEST, not because the person’s mom is your favorite politician or TV personality.
Thanks for the ping. I haven’t watched the show but after all the hoopla this last week the tv is on and ready to go.
You know it was intentional to make her look stupid by the producers...
Of course it was. Just look at the song selections the producers chose for Bristol during the early weeks.
Week 1: Momma Told Me (not to come)
Week 2: You Can't Hurry Love
Week 3: Just The Way You Are
Week 5: Theme from The Monkees ("People say we're monkeying around.")
Week 6: According To You ("...I'm stupid, I'm useless, I can't do anything right.")
I think they're past playing games with the music now.
