The leftstream media gleefully reported over the weekend that Governor Sarah Palin’s mother-in-law wasn’t sure whether she’d be voting for the McCain/Palin ticket including her daughter-in-law. We were all supposed to smack our heads and realize that even this woman’s family wasn’t behind her so we shouldn’t be either.
Another direct attack on the Palin family by the Obamedia, another Obamedia smear debunked.
Despite Senator Obama’s claim that the process of applying for the job of President implicitly qualifies him for the job (try that one at your next job interview), a careful examination of their histories reveals that Governor Palin has a deeper and richer set of life and professional experience than the junior Senator from Illinois.
Governor Palin, the one with more than a decade of executive experience, is running for Vice President. Senator Obama, the chairman of a subcommittee he never called into session and former community organizer, seeks the Presidency.

The latest, and likely not last, smear against Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is that she was briefly a member of a third-party in Alaska called the Alaskan Independence Party in the 1990s. The party was apparently mainstream during that time (their gubernatorial candidate got more than a third of the vote in 1994), but seems to have veered secessionist in recent years.
Not that any of that AIP background matters. Like most Palin smears being pushed by the media, this is also easily disproved. The McCain campaign released Governor Palin’s voter registration data showing the Governor having been registered as a Republican uninterrupted since 1982 along with this comment on the original story by discredited reporter Jake Tapper of ABC News.
Bristol Palin, seventeen-year old daughter of presumptive Republican Vice Presidential nominee Governor Sarah Palin, is pregnant according to the Associated Press and will marry the father of the unborn child. The McCain campaign was aware of this private family situation prior to Palin’s selection.
Looks like it’s out with the old lefty smear campaign and in with a new one.
Per Reuters, the announcement was made “To Rebut Rumors.” Right. The 17-year-old daughter is 5 months pregnant, and this announcement was made to rebut something that a blogger made up. Uh, no. The announcement was made because little things like a baby bump on – and the wedding of – the daughter of a Vice Presidential candidate are generally noticed by the media.
Wow. I am entirely shocked that the Palins are a real American family going through a situation that hundreds of thousands of American families face every year. It’s almost as if they’re human beings.
And just so we don’t fall into the “Sarah Palin is a conservative hypocrite who preaches only abstinence as birth control but doesn’t hold her family to the same standards” trap, Governor Palin is a member of Feminists For Life. Per Time Magazine:
She is Christian and pro-life, but also a supporter of birth control: she’s a member of Feminists For Life (FFL), an anti-abortion, pro-contraception organization.
And during her run for Governor:
Palin said last month that no woman should have to choose between her career, education and her child. She is pro-contraception and said she’s a member of a pro-woman but anti-abortion group called Feminists for Life.
“I believe in the strength and the power of women, and the potential of every human life,” she said.
Any suggestion that Governor Palin is against birth control is an outright lie.
Democrats and other scumbags are absolutely imploding over John McCain’s race-changing pick of Governor Sarah Palin as a running mate and the enusing poll collapse by their “Chosen One” Barack Obama. In the two days since the pick, the reality of this election slipping from their grasp has gotten so intense that they have begun a smear against Palin’s seventeen-year-old daughter and mentally handicapped son. Keep it classy, libs.

A new Zogby poll, taken entirely after John McCain named Sarah Palin as his running mate on Friday, finds the choice has erased all of Obama’s Convention / Acceptance Speech bounce. McCain has 47%, Obama 45%. With Palin in the equation, McCain has Republican support to the tune of 92%.
Pollster John Zogby: “Palin is not to be underestimated. Her real strength is that she is authentic, a real mom, an outdoors person, a small town mayor (hey, she has dealt with a small town city council – that alone could be preparation for staring down Vladimir Putin, right?). She is also a reformer.”
Some people look at Joe Biden and see a slick, shifty used-car salesman. I can kind of see that. I look at Joe Biden and see a loudmouthed drunken uncle, probably your mother’s brother, who grabs the DJ’s microphone at the wedding reception and sloshes on about his life story, how much he loves everyone and everything, and how it’s such a beautiful night and event.
You just sit there and stare into your soup, going back and forth between embarrassed and annoyed. You dare not try to stop him from making a fool of himself, because you know there’s an equal chance that he will either begin weeping openly or will take a swing at you.
That’s what I see when I look at Joe Biden. The video below doesn’t help.
Biden to Obama: “I’m Getting Hard.”
Watch the video.
At the Windmill Ice Cream Shop in Aliquippa, Penn, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, asked his running mate if he was getting hard of soft ice cream.
“Let’s see what we’ve got here,” Obama said as he approached the counter.
“So,” he said to Biden, “you decided to go with soft?”
“I’m getting hard,” Biden said. “I’m a hard guy.”
Chuckles all around as Obama orders his wife a small sundae.
African-Americans, particularly those of the generation whose struggles brought about the Civil Rights gains of the 60s, are upset with Barack Obama for not mentioning Civil Rights pioneer Dr. Martin Luther King in his arrogant and often angry nomination acceptance speech.
