Sex, Lies And Photoshop
Vol. 3 Issue 14
It always amazes me what some people will
do to damage a person’s reputation. In the
case of Republican Vice-Presidential
candidate Sarah Palin, it has gotten more
than ugly. From the moment she stepped on
stage when John McCain announced her as his
running mate, the vitriol started. In
addition, it has not and probably will not
end until Election Day. She will probably be
one of the most investigated and examined
candidate by the media since George H. Bush
nominated Dan Quayle.
Why? Because the main stream media was
caught off guard. They did not have a say in
McCain’s
choice. Her name came up in casual
conversation at times. However, no one gave
her a second look, not even a glance. To
this writer’s credit, I made a casual bet
with my wife in early July that she would be
the pick of the litter. When it was
announced, my wife simply said two things to
me:
"You called it." and, "How did you know?"
It was simple, the most important issue
facing the American voter turned from the
War in Iraq, because
the surge worked and the violence has
dramatically decreased. Not only that fact
but also every week we are turning over
another piece of real estate to the Iraqi
people.
Secondly, according to the mainstream
media, the economy seems to be heading
downtown. In spite of
the better than three-percent growth in the
GDP last quarter and the fact we are not in
a recession. All we keep hearing is how many
homes are going into foreclosure. They will
not report the reality that most of these
foreclosures are because people were stupid
enough to sign on the dotted line purchasing
a home they knew they could only afford
until their first mortgage interest rate
adjustment. Even in Vegas a Come Bet on the
crap table is a sucker bet.
What they have not reported is 98% of all
home owners are paying their mortgage every
month on time.
It is that the 98% that know how much more
it cost them each month, is not for their
house payments,
but to fill their gas tanks.
Therefore, with that in mind 98% or
homeowners are screaming Drill, Drill, and
Drill.
Who better to run for Vice-President than
the person who has more oil under her state
than the U.S. has used since the first oil
derrick was erected in 1859 in Pennsylvania;
Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska; a Hockey
Mom, Mayor of a small town, Governor of the
largest state in America, the person who
took on the big oil companies, a Washington
outsider and a breath of fresh air. FYI
Alaska has the same number of Congressional
Representatives as Delaware and ranks second
to Delaware in Population.
As for her only having served as Governor
for a year and one-half, her executive
experience as Mayor
and Governor is much greater that that of
Jimmy Carter, who only had three-years of
executive
experience as Governor of Georgia and Teddy
Roosevelt who was Governor of New York for
only one-
year. During that year, he spent most of his
time running for President. Let us not
forget the current
Democratic Presidential candidate Barack
Obama. How much executive experience does he
have?
So what has happened since Sarah, as
everyone in Alaska calls her, was chosen by
John McCain as his
running mate? The Bloggers and Main Stream
Media have been slandering and maligning her
with lies
and innuendos that have only proven one
thing; she is bigger and tougher than they
are. She seems to
be letting the innuendos and rumors roll off
her back. Let us look at some of the
accusations that have
surfaced and let us look at the truth.
Congressman Robert Wexler, the
self-proclaimed "Fire Breathing Liberal,"
(D-19 FL) said publicly that,
"she is a Nazi sympathizer and
anti-Semitic." He claims his remarks are
true because she supported Pat
Buchanan for President. The facts are that
she is a big supporter or Israel. An Israeli
flag is on the
window of her office. She was not a Buchanan
supporter. She served on the board of Steve
Forbes'
campaign in Alaska.
It is her baby, not her daughter
Bristol's. To believe otherwise is to defy
all medical science or in other
words believe in Immaculate Conception.
Yes, she did fire the state Public Safety
Director — but he said in the Anchorage
paper that, for the
record, she never, and no one else in her
administration ever, tried to make him fire
her ex-brother-in-law, who was suspended for
using a "Taser" on his ten-year-old stepson
and driving a state police car while
intoxicated. He also threatened to murder
her sister and father if they dared to hire
an attorney to help with her sister's
divorce.
She was an Assembly of God parishioner.
However, she does not attend an Assembly of
God church
now. She left when the services were getting
a bit weird. Not like Obama who spent
20-years listening to vial sermons.
The Washington Post claims she cut
funding for unwed mothers. The truth is she
increased it by 354% as
part of a multi-year capital-spending
program. The Washington Post does not appear
to have corrected
their story. Even after this was pointed out
in the comments on the story.
No, she did not cut special needs student
funding; she actually raised it by 175
percent.
She did finally turn down the money for
the bridge to nowhere. Yes, that meant she
changed her mind
about it after discovering how much more it
would cost the state of Alaska.
Yes, a speechwriter wrote Sara’s
acceptance speech. None of Obama’s,
McCain’s, or Biden’s speeches
were impromptu off the cuff either. The
difference with her speech is, in the middle
of her address the
teleprompter broke down. She was forced to
present it without the aid of notes. Let us
see Obama do
that trick.
Thirty lawyers and investigators ascended
upon Alaska to try to discover some dirty
laundry she may
have left lying around. So far, the only
thing they could discover is that she once
discussed with a
librarian if there were any inappropriate
books in the library. She never banned or
asked to have banned
any books. The one book that the
investigators claimed she wanted banned was
not even published at
the time. It was Harry Potter.
Finally, the photo of her dressed in a
bikini holding an assault rifle was photo
shopped. Too bad, it was
not real. That photo alone would make any
man vote for her.
Now that Sarah seems to be more popular
than John McCain, Obama is changing his
tactics and
returning to attack his Presidential rival.
In his latest commercial, in an attempt to
align McCain with
George Bush, he states that McCain voted
with George Bush 90% of the time. Guess what
Sen. Obama,
so did Harry Reid, Joe Biden and Nancy
Pelosi. And, so did you.
And, that is my opinion.
