Palin wows the Brits.....OT

Palin strikes back at critics
From FERGUS SHANAHAN
in Minnesota

A WEEK ago nobody had ever heard of her.

Today she is the most talked-about woman in the world. And with good reason.

Sarah Palin's sensational performance at the Republican Party Convention may turn out to be the tipping point of this rollercoaster American election.

Obama fans hoping she would fluff her big night were in for a nasty shock.

This speech has turned the election upside down. It was simply stunning.

Democrats and their Lefty media backers had been sneering that she was a small town nobody, a hick from the Alaskan sticks put into a job way beyond an inexperienced woman.

Believe me, you will not be hearing that again.

Palin turned out to be an electrifying mix of intelligence, passion, energy, optimism and plain speaking.

Full of self-assurance and aggression, she popped Barack's balloon big-time.

From the moment she walked on stage in this cavernous bear pit, bandbox smart in cream jacket, trim black skirt and black heels, she proved that John McCain knew exactly what he was doing when he picked her as running mate.

Hair piled into a slight beehive – more Sarah White House than Amy Winehouse – she blinked and smiled behind her geeky spectacles as the vast crowd went ballistic.

For an unpopular party divided over Iraq and struggling to compete with Obama's Messianic glamour, the choice of Palin looks absolutely inspired.

Main Street America will have loved her performance.

And it was seen by 30million voters – the greatest number ever to watch a candidate for the much-derided VP post.

She is popular with voters for the very reason America's snooty political establishment despises her: She isn't one of the Washington gang.

She's a moose-hunting mum of five with a sledge-load of problems behind her own front door that workaday Americans can relate to.

A child with special needs. A daughter of 17 pregnant. A constant juggle between family and career.

As she said, her family has had its ups and downs like any other.

Last night her first task was to introduce herself and her family to an American public incredulous that the unknown Alaska governor could within weeks be a heartbeat away from being their commander in chief.

Compared to the journeyman career politicians dominating both parties here she seemed fresh, natural, one of us and not one of them.

She spoke to America as one mum to another. She cracked good jokes.

What's the difference between a hockey mum and a pit bull?, she asked.

Answer: One wears lipstick.

What will have scared the enemy camp most is the devastating series of prime-time punches she landed on the jutting Obama jaw.

Showing steel beneath her magnolia jacket, she slaughtered his lack of experience, his vanity, his emptiness beneath the windy waffle.

It was the most powerful demolition of the Democrat hero I have heard in two weeks on the US election trail.

The St Paul audience adored her.

When she duffed up the Lefty media commentators for their sexist sneers, the vast crowd roared approval and pointed in anger at the titans of the American press aloof in their special enclosure.

And quite right too: who ever asked whether Obama could still be a good dad if he became president?

The irony, as Palin pointed out, is that liberal media sniping has only succeeded in uniting Republicans behind her.

The wagons have been drawn up and the Republicans are ready for battle.

The McCain-Palin ticket now looks in exciting shape.

A war hero and a heroic mum. Experience and optimism. A man and a woman.

And when McCain joined the Palin gang – babies and boyfriends and all – on stage after her speech there was a sense of cheeky fun absent from last week's solemn Obama coronation.

How the Democrats must be regretting Hillary isn't running with Obama. Barack's sidekick Joe Biden looks a dull old dog compared with the ball of fire that is Palin.

But most fascinating of all, consider this: If Obama loses, Hillary Clinton will run in 2012. Opposing her is sure to be Sarah Palin.

That would guarantee America its first woman president.

And my fistful of dollars, having seen both in action here, would be on Palin.

Go Palin! Democrats suck. (maybe this will get the thread moved.)

[Hotrod]

I'm in love she is AWESOME

Say goodnight Obama

[Orange_Beard]

We should play her at MLB

[gyldenlove]

So Sarah Palin, how did that sexual abstinence thing work out for you and your underage daughter?

[Kaylore]

This thread is still here? Must try harder....

Does anyone notice how the media is tearing her to shreds?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2073778/posts

And people say the media isn't biased. My eye. The thing is the more the lefties attack this hockey mom, the more Republicans - especially Republican women will feel sorry for her and want to come out and smack down the left.

Keep smearing this lady, folks. Keep it up. :thumbs:

I guess I don't really understand your point. Are you implying that this is a bad thing? ???

[BowlenBall]

As one of the few Alaskans on this board (along with Kupe's dad), I feel I'm qualified to say....

Sarah Palin is our next strong safety.

"She stood up to the big oil companies.... and she'll stand up to Javon Walker and Ashley Lelie."

[colonelbeef]

lol @ those of you defending the hooker VP choice. If she was half the mother she claims to be maybe her whore daughter wouldn't have had an illegitimate child. I suppose the slut apple doesn't fall far from the slut tree. Sweet family values.

I am a conservative by nature, but not a god damned republican. The GOP of today does not represent anything conservative whatsoever. Ronald Reagan would be liberal by today's standards. Teddy Roosevelt woudl be appalled by how far the republicans have veered off the tracks. I am not down with selfish fascist war-profiteering expansionists who rip up the constitution and Bill of Rights at every turn. How some of you can proudly support the embarrassing abortion that was the Bush 'administration' is beyond me.

McCain should have won in 2000, we could have used his leadership instead of George 'Monkey Numbnuts' Bush- but his time is passed now.
Welcome to the 6 point blowout loss in November folks

[DenverBrit]

LOL That's the only part worth seeing....the rest is a jingoistic National Enquirer.
In fact, the Sun and other UK Tabloids used to be the main source for National Enquirer writers and 'editorial staff.

[no-pseudo-fan]

Good for her. I heard the speach, she did a very good job.

I like her, I would never vote for her, but I like her. It doesn't matter though, I live in Texas and any vote that is not Republican doesn't count. Damn that electorial college!!!

Peter (watching Cricket on British TV): What the hell is he talking about?
Englishman: Oh, it's Cricket. Marvelous game, really. You see, the bowler hurls the ball toward the batter who tries to play away a fine leg. He endeavors to score by dashing between the creases, provided the wicket keeper hasn't whipped his bails off, of course.
Peter: Anybody get that?
Cleveland: The only British idiom I know is that "fag" means "cigarette."
Peter: Well, someone tell this "cigarette" to shut up.

Kind of like Republicans and Evangelists? Ha!

Yes that is much better

What does being classy have to do with it? The GOP spouts off about family values every chance they get- remember impeaching Clinton over a BJ?

I dislike hypocrites more than anything on this planet. This is hypocrisy at it's finest.

[L.A. BRONCOS FAN]

Ha ha ha! :laugh:

This from a supporter of a president who only spoke to Americans in scripted, controlled forums and who required audiences to sign oaths of loyalty to his party before they could attend his speeches?

That's rich! :giggle:

I will argue policy all day long, and never ignore anyone for it. Difference of opinion is what makes this country great. Hiding from differing opinions makes you a retard unable to cope. I truly doubt HotGarbage understood anything I said anyway.

[no-pseudo-fan]

If we didn't have the elector process then the population centers would drive all policy.

The population centers already drive all policy.

My issue is that I live in one of the only Democratic Cities in Texas. So basically the State and the Country can block out 500,000 votes. Not right in my opinion. Also 1 vote doesn't = 1 vote, some votes are more important than others. Politians would rather win Ohio than West Virginia, they would rather win Texas than New Mexico, and would rather win California than Oregon or/and Nevada. So where to they focus their time and money, the big states, the battlefront states. Voters have lost their voice, and the process and the media makes it seem that America selects the President. If that were true, Gore would have beaten Bush. America wanted Gore, policy gave them Bush.

Clinton got impeached for lying under oath. That fact that he lied over a BJ is his own fault. Now I love me some Bill Clinton, but lets not act like he wasn't guilty of lying under oath.

The rural areas still have a voice on the national scale. the reaosn people don't campaigh as hard there is because they already know how'll they'll vote. If the democrats though they had a chance in Texas they would spend money there. Without the electorate the rural areas would have less of a voice. I do think that Electorates should vote on who wins there and the entire state should NOT go to one candidate. I believe Kansas and New Hampshire work this way and it's much more representative.

Calling her and her kid a whore has nothing to do with policy. I worry about her experience. Who her daughter sleeps with has nothing to do with it for me, and that she's pregnant is not always a direct reflection of her parents. You act like this stuff doesn't happen to good parents...That's incredibly naive.

That comment was right out of the liberal playbook.....

So protecting the constitution and the Bill of Rights isn't conservative? I don't follow. Maybe you need a dictionary.

I am a son of the revolution on my father's side, every generation in my family has served in the military save for my great great grandfather. I am a conservative to the core. I do not want religion anywhere near my government, the current day GOP loves to bring religion and faith into the picture at every turn. I do not want a larger government, the Bush administration enacted the largest US government in US history including implementing the do-nothing department of homeland security. Classic conservatives would protect our environment and our borders, the Bush administration has done neither. The dollar has fallen like a ****ing rock while inflation has soared.


The current day GOP reflects nothing of conservatism. Abraham Lincoln was a conservative. Calvin Coolidge was a conservative. Dwight Eisenhower was a conservative.

George Bush is the most liberal president we have had since FDR easily. I don't understand why people buy so hard into slogans and catchphrases, that is all that they are. Slogans and catchphrases.

This stuff doesn't happen to good parents who preach sexual abstinence publicly and make it their political agenda to shut down all sexual information programs as well as birth control programs.

The fact that the kid is a minor is even worse, how she can accept that her daughter is dating a rapist (and yes, you are a rapist if you have sex with a minor) is beyond me. But I guess it is no different from Bush's cuddling of white collar criminals in the Enron and WorldCom scandals, way to be tough on crime. :thumbs:

Whatever...I said my piece about this whole deal. Her experience should be challenged. The questions should be if we want her advising the president on the issues that pop up. Like I said before. Cheney was on the phone to the president the morning of 9/11 asking for permission to shoot a civilian jet full of people down. People get all caught up in the perceived "hypocrisy" and lose sight of the real questions. So her kid got knocked up, so she is all about abstinence, she hates birth control.....Grill her on the economy! It's like a soap opera - meanwhile the real issues get lost.
