Cindy McCain and women of substance

Another impressive woman. I had no idea of just how substantial a person until recently. She has a foundation, which she runs, which gives away millions of dollars to help others. She makes trips and does a ton of humanitarian work.

I love the story of the two little girls she brought home from one of her trips.

One thing I love about Republicans is that they act. They don't just talk. They don't whine to the government to do something. They figure it out and make it happen.

I know most have heard the stats about the comparison between those who consider themselves liberals or Democrats and those who consider themselves conservative or Republican? The right gives so much more than Dems. That's because we believe that we should do it ourselves, not look to the government to redistribute wealth.

I'm looking forward to hearing more about Cindy McCain tonight.

Here's another one for you... the Dems talk about equality and being color blind and gender blind and... and... and... But the Republicans are the ones who have more women and more minorities in positions of power. Take a look at the President's appointees and those he selects for positions of importance. Then think about who goes after these picks and trashes them. You'd think they'd be applauding Bush for picking Hispanics, women, blacks, etc. Or at least they'd try to keep up.

Why are people so enamored of the rhetoric when there are no facts and no substance to back it up?

Talk about someone with substance, I'm still smiling when I think about having Sarah Palin on the ticket. It's so clear today that the Dems are still in a dither about how to handle her!

Sarah WOWED everyone last night!

She is one dangerous woman and the left wing media KNOWS it! She is everything they can't handle --- a truly competent woman who doesn't whine.

What a speech. What a woman. She is my hero.

Sure, I don't eat meat, but hey to each their own. I'd never shoot Bambi but I sure like the idea that the two who are at the top of the ticket are kick-butt, take no names and protect us all types!

She has compassion, heart and she knows how to get things done. Loved the joke. Loved the zingers which were shot with just the right touch of humor.

Did anyone hear the blather that came back from Obama's campaign. Boring much. Drivel. They've been throwing everything they can at her for a week and she comes back with a little patter and they collapse.

They sound like bullies who can't figure out how to come back at a girl. Nah, nah, you said bad things about us and we don't like it. Can't take the heat on the left.

Guess we should be prepared though 'cause now they're going to find out which way she puts toilet paper on the dispenser and say it's politically incorrect.

They need to back off on the family.

What about this crap about Todd getting a ticket when he was, oh my god, 22. A baby. While he's drinking beer at the age when almost everyone in the world drinks beer or wine or more, Obama's out there snorting drugs --- he said so in his book. Now that's OK for a Presidential candidate to experiment with drugs, but not OK for a red-blooded American male to have a beer or two and get caught as a kid? Give me a break. I bet most of the people writing about it drink now. Geez.

The thing the media has done is raise awareness of Palin, shown their scared of Palin, and solidified a whole lot of people into supporters who were just wishy-washy before.

Ya know, I'd still be a lib if the party hadn't gotten so nasty. And I hadn't gone into business for myself. Tell you what, there is nothing that teaches you self-responsibility like running a business. You find out what it means to take care of yourself. When I worked for a large corporation, had healthcare, had vacation, had a steady paycheck it was easy to be cushioned and not think about things.

Sarah Palin is what most parents only dream their kids should be, could be. To handle five kids, a husband, a job, to kick butt in Alaska, be intelligent, happy, smart, beautiful.... I could was eloquent if I really worked at it . Go Sarah Palin. Go get 'em girl.

Oh yeah, and THANKS John McCain for picking Palin. You showed your moxxy, your independence and got my vote for sure.

Veerrryyy interesting

I have Google alerts set up with Sarah Palin's name. It gives me a daily summary of anytime Sarah Palin's name is in the new or in blogs. Now I have a ton of blogs and I have all kinds of alerts set up. I've tested these blogs umpteen times to see how fast my blogs are picked up. It is almost instantaneous.

Here's the weird thing, and I really hesitate to bring it up on here, but not once has this blog been picked up even though we're all talking about Sarah Palin blog after blog after blog.

Maybe it's because we're new.

Don't know.

The reason I hesitate to bring it up on here? It looks like blogs talking about Sarah Palin are being shut down. I tried to set up some other blogs and when I checked to see if they already existed there was a message saying they had been shut down and the names were no longer available. They weren't bad names, either. So, gonna go scouting to see if this is a conspiracy (wooo... wooo...). Could easily be that they were spam attacked or the names generate a lot of traffic that isn't positive or the people were trash talking on the blogs.

We're not going to do any of that on here.

Anyway, ladies of the Superwoman blog, let's go on a Sarah Palin hunt. You with me?

Fred Thompson's Speech, videos

You have to watch these if you didn't see them live!

Part 2

Fred Thompson was Magnificent Last Night!!!!!

Wasn't he superb? Just the right timing, inflections and most importantly, the right message! I heard him on Fox News this morning talking a little about the speech. He said they told him right before he went on to cut it a bit short so he and Lieberman could both be on during prime time, and then gave him two more paragraphs to try and squeeze in! He didn't even break a sweat.

I am so proud of everyone who is standing up and supporting both John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Did you see Levi today as the McCains and Palins got off the plane to go to the Convention? Little Bristol has a cutey! For that matter, so does Mama! They certainly have good taste in their men.

Back to real issues that matter, girl.

Can't wait to hear Rudi, Huckabee and SARAH speak tonight. The pressure must be something else on her as she prepare for what everyone keeps saying is the most important speech of her life. Did they say that when Joe Biden was getting ready to talk? Nah.

For that matter, has anyone trashed Joe Biden for choosing to be a politician when he was the single father of two children? It was tragic what happened to his young daughter and wife, and the boys. But rather than find a job that kept him at home or allowed him to be with his two young children he ran for office.

Now, if he had been a woman would that have been acceptable? Oh, wait, yes it would have been if we were talking a liberal instead of a conservative woman! Somehow, I think that if Palin had been in the same position as Biden, she probably would have stayed home with the kids. So, does that make Biden a schmuck 'cause he chose public office? Nope, although I probably wouldn't have done it.

The left seems to be full of hypocrites.

Alaska Maverick ad from the McCain Campaign --- gotta watch it!

U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today released its latest television ad, entitled "Alaska Maverick." The ad highlights Governor Sarah Palin's record of taking on the special interests in Alaska and bringing reform and change. While Barack Obama talks about change, Governor Sarah Palin has actually done it. The ad will air in key states.

Script For "Alaska Maverick" (TV :30)

ANNCR: The Journal says: "Governor Palin's credentials as an agent of reform exceed Barack Obama's."

They're right.

She "has a record of bi-partisan reform."

He's the Senate's "most liberal."

She "took on the oil producers."

He gave big oil billions in subsidies and giveaways.

She's "earned a reputation as a reformer."

His reputation? Empty words.

Worth a read on Fred Thompson, Joe Lieberman and Barack Obama

Thompson, Lieberman Hit Home Runs; Obama Strikes Out

Posted by Bobby Eberle

September 3, 2008 at 6:43 am
On Tuesday night, the speakers at the GOP National Convention, namely former Sen. Fred Thompson and Democrat-turned-Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman, not only reminded America of the compelling story of Sen. John McCain, but also reminded America that Barack Obama is simply not ready to lead. To help in the matter, Obama's own comments this week show that he will grasp at any straw in order to make himself look more "presidential," and that's the key: If you have to try to build a case for experience, you really don't have any.

Tell 'em like it is Rudy Giuliani!

The press is being sexist. Period. What I can't quite figure out is are they leading the Democratic Party or is the Democratic Party giving them marching orders? Or am I being silly thinking there's a distinction?

Mayor Rudy Giuliani On CBS' "Early Show"

"Barack Obama has never governed a city, never governed a state, never governed an agency, never run a military unit, never run anything. Sarah Palin has been a mayor. She's been a governor. She has a record of reform. She has a record of leadership. She's run a budget." -- Mayor Rudy Giuliani

Mayor Rudy Giuliani
CBS' "Early Show"
September 3, 2008

Mayor Rudy Giuliani: "Barack Obama has never governed a city, never governed a state, never governed an agency, never run a military unit, never run anything. Sarah Palin has been a mayor. She's been a governor. She has a record of reform. She has a record of leadership. She's run a budget. So, why are all these questions for her? Has anybody ever asked Barack Obama, can you bring up your two kids and be president of the United States? They are asking 'can she be vice president and be a mother?' Come on."

CBS' Maggie Rodriguez: "So you're saying you have no doubt and mothers shouldn't either, that she can do it?

Mayor Giuliani: "Where are the feminists? I mean is it just the early feminist groups? Where are they?"

Rodriguez: "I think they are fair questions. It's a lot to judge."

Mayor Giuliani: "They are questions. I don't know if they're fair questions. You can ask any question you want, then to designate it as a fair question. You know, can you be a mother and be a vice president? We've had a lot of fathers run for president and no one has ever asked them, 'can you be a father and be president?' Don't tell me there isn't a difference there."

Watch Mayor Giuliani

Chauvinist Pigs

I used to be a Democrat. Democrats used to be peace, love and hugs. Now they are nasty. Now the real movement is gone. They speak out of both sides of their mouth. They say they are for blacks, women, gays, the downtrodden and poor.

Bull.

They say they are for free speech.

Bull.

The way they are going after Sarah Palin is worse than despicable. It is the opposite of everything the Democratic Party stands for.

They treated Hillary Clinton with disdain, they treated Geraldine Ferraro with disdain and the way they are treating Sarah Palin makes what they did to those two ladies a cake walk.

How can the American people be so sheep-like, so easily swayed?

Rick Santorum has 8 kids

Rick Santorum was talking to reporters, told them that in all his time in office (Senator, Pennsylvania) that no one had ever asked how he handled having eight (8) kids while in office.

Double standards of the Left are absolutely abhorrent.

For so-called liberals they sure aren't liberal when it comes to women are they?

All these feminists who yell and scream that women ought to be able to work and have a family just like a man sure have different standards when it's a Republican woman.

And plenty of excuses when they're called on their duplicity.

One good thing, it is nice to know that Republicans are held to higher standards than Democrats. That says a lot about Republican values and strength.

Anyone heard any outcry about Fowler's comments on God killing people cause He likes Dems better than Republicans??? I know that's not exactly what he said, but boil it down and that IS what he inferred.

If Republicans said half of what Democrats say we'd be front page news every day. Thank goodness most Republicans seem to have a sense of decency and don't have one set of rules for themselves and another for everyone else. Not saying all Republicans are perfect, man there are some winners on our side, too.

But there's a lot of stone throwing going on and there are some huge motes in some folks eyes.

Heard they're re-vetting Palin

Heard this morning that Joe Liberman was McCain's pick right up to the last minute. Also heard the FBI hadn't vetted Sarah Palin completely before he announced. I would be every little secret she ever had is already out there given she's been in the public eye for as long as she has.

Husband Todd got a ticket for DWI (or DUI depending on where you are in time ;-) twenty-two years ago. Bad boy ;-) Let's see, that would have made him somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty-two or 23? Another whoop-te-do.

17-year-old Bristol is getting married sometime soon to a 17 or so year old. I consider myself a social conservative in some areas, a moderate in others. I hold myself to a fairly strict line but I'm very tolerant of others and the choices they feel they need to make. Walk a mile in someone else's shoes and your feet don't fit in your own shoes anymore.

People make mistakes, they grow and learn hopefully. I've heard of couples who got married at 17 and lived to see their spouse die of old age, but it's rare. I give the young man kudos for being willing to step up to the plate. I'd bet the kids think they're in love. They don't understand what love is yet, maybe what they have will grow into love. It's going to be tougher on them because they have the eyes of the world watching.

Does Palin have to step down as Governor to run? We're only talking a few months off from work at this point so I can't imagine she's giving up being Governor.

What a feather in Alaska's cap if they are the home state of the first female Vice President, and possibly President if she runs after McCain's term ends.

We live in interesting times, but I would imagine every generation has said the same thing.

Hopefully there's not a time bomb ticking for Sarah. I can't imagine she would have considered taking the job if she had anything in her background. It looks like she disclosed everything and was pretty much up-front. She seems like a straight arrow, doubt she'd embarrass McCain.

Glad they're re-vetting her though, just to shut everyone up! Geez, give it up, get back to issues.

Sexism

I can't believe some of the things "they" are saying about Sarah Palin. Can you imagine anyone, and I mean anyone, saying some of the stuff they're saying about Sarah Palin if she were SAM Palin?

Trash talking.

What a double-standard the liberals have when it comes to women. If it's a Democratic woman, anything goes. If it's a Republican woman, there ain't no trash too dirty to throw.

Changing tracks here just a bit, what about the stuff with Don Fowler and Michael Moore? Do they really think God sends hurricanes to stall Republican conventions? How many people are out of their homes, how many are injured or have died? And they can joke about God going after Republicans? Nasty trash talking.

Back on track now. Sarah Palin is facing a tough situation with her daughter with grace. I'm sure there was a big family sit-down before they made the decision to move the family into the spotlight. That poor girl Bristol must be going through hell right now being hounded by the media hacks. Do ya think for one minute if this were Chelsie Clinton that the media would be doing the same thing? What do you want to bet that they'd have Hillary up on some pedestal as a saint for how she handled things? But a Republican??? No way. Trash talking.

Double standards. If you're one of us anything goes. If you're with "them" then nothing you do is good.

We're with you Sarah and Bristol. Don't let them wear you down and just know we're really sorry the media has no morals or ethics.

Hey Girl, the Dems are Despicable with their Bristol / Sarah Palin Garbage

Just read your post about Bristol. Some of these Dems are despicable. Did you hear what they've been spreading around on the blogs? They've been saying that cute little Trig is actually Bristol's child and that Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy to cover it up.

Good God are these people nuts.

I simply can't imagine who some people make it through the day with all the crazy theories that eat holes in their brains.

Like a Governor could fake a pregnancy? What, they think she stuffed pillows under her dress and faked labor? Hid her daughter?

I agree with you, the Palin's are fantastic for standing by their daughter and welcoming this little one into the world. I'm so glad they didn't go the route so many kids do, deciding to kill the baby.

We're with you Bristol, Sarah, Todd and family. Kick butt and take no names.

Bristol's Pregnancy

News is out that unwed daughter of Sarah and Todd Palin is pregnant. I'm sure the press is going to make a huge deal out of it.

The 17-year old is five months along and is planning to marry the father.

As the aunt of a niece who got preggers when she was 16, I can tell you it's a shocker, it's difficult and it is heart-breaking. These kids don't have a clue what they're getting into and it changes their entire life.

I know the family went through their own kind of hell when their jewel of a daughter told them she was going to have a baby.

I love it that the Palin's are standing behind their daughter and that the youngster has decided to keep her baby. So many would opt for an abortion and take the "easy" (in their mind at that time) way out.

We have a gorgeous little one-year old now who is delightful. Yes, grandma is more involved that she would have been had her daughter been older and stable. Yes, it has made life a lot more difficult for all involved. However, we stood behind her decision to have her daughter. She made a bad choice, a really bad choice, compounded by the fact that the father was not responsible (and boy are we glad he's out of the picture!).

I know Bristol's pregnancy will somewhat tarnish the image of Sarah Palin as VP in some people's minds. Hopefully the Left and Right will praise her for standing with her daughter.

John McCain knew about the pregnancy when he selected Sarah Palin. Kudos to him for still making the choice despite this personal issue the Palins are facing.

Here's the statement released by the Palin's:

"We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We're proud of Bristol's decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.

"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates."
