Palin is an embarassment akin to the kind of embarassment Bush is to our nation. She makes Spiro T. Agnew look like a philosopher king and Dan Quayle look like an Oxford man! McCain clearly demonstrated he should never be given the Presidency by making such an utterly irresponsible choice for VP.

She may love Missouri, but why does Sarah Palin and her husband Todd hate America, as Todd’s membership in the Alaska Independence Party and her tacit approval of that group would suggest? I am waiting for Palin and her husband to renounce the AIP and its stated goal of seccession from the United States of America.

Palin recently stated the war in Iraq is part of God’s plan. If that doesn’t scare the bejesus out of you, nothing will. That’s all we need, a 72 year old warmonger and a 44 year old femi-nazi who thinks it’s God’s will to kill 400,000 Iraqis and dislocate 2 million Iraqi refugees including women and children.

Strom Thurmond once said the Aids epidemic is God’s way of punishing homosexuals….Now, comes Sarah. Typical Republicanism.

Hey Buddy

“The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive.” –Thomas Jefferson

Are you going to accuse Jefferson of not being a patriot?

–And my personal favorite
“A leader in the Democratic Party is a boss, in the Republican Party he is a leader.” –Harry S. Truman

Um, Jefferson wasn’t advocating secession. Todd and Sarah Palin’s political party is.

Garrison —

try finding the original quotes, post a link to such and then wait for everybody to say, “Oh! Garrison finally got a quote (or anything) right.”

Until then, you may now get off the DailyKosAngrySockPuppet merry-go-round.

Clark…

You might try boning up on your history. Try reading the Declaration of Independence. Hint-Jefferson wrote that!

If the government is not going to operate for the people, everyone, in every state, should be in favor of seccession.

Let’s take it one step further. Alexander Hamilton is Federalist 28 wrote;
“If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government… The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair.”

Seccession is the least of our worries should our state and federal governments remain on their current course.

Sarah Palin emerged on the political scene with a splash that no one expected . . . especially hard core liberals! Wh y would so many oppose her with blatantly sexist positions? I’ll tell you why . . . the left was caught flat footed! I have a message for those that think Sarah should “put an apron on and cook her family dinner”: the year is 2008 . . . not 1958!

I think I like Sara Palin, even if the recent comments are muddied liberal epitaphs and oblique biased references. Sarah Palin symbolizes much of the hard-working women of the Midwest heritage.

The women and men that settled the prairie and plains of the Midwest were no shrinking violets. They labored and toiled equally forging ahead to a new land, breaking ground, spring planting, harvesting, putting up the rewards into cupboard and shelves. They built villages, towns, and raised barns or the general store together. They raised big families, mended and taught their children how to read. They were plain speaking and didn’t appreciate arrogance, nuance, conjecture, or lies. As the Civil War raged, it was men and women of the plains that worked hard to get the Land Grant College Act passed in Congress and thus was born the ideal of advanced education. The women themselves ran farms and shops along with their husbands.

Reading about Sara Palin gives me a feeling of equality once more returning to the Midwest, where values were cherished and democracy, without arrogance or brand marketing, existed, and where there was no tyranny of the majority, nor tyranny of the minority, as expressed by our US Constitution.

Sara Palin and John McCain converses with the people, not with political leaders and their hacks, and derives consensus from the people, not the attitudes of the New England Corridor of political ennui due to abuse of power.

Yes, I like Sara Palin and John McCain. They aren’t perfect, but they are real. They are a breath of fresh air, the window openers, in a stale room of even staler and stagnant politicians. They will endeavor to shake the political rug of vermin and pests. Americans and Missourians are hoping they will succeed.
