The Survival of Sarah Palin

Of course the democrats (and everybody else that hates republicans) are scrambling to find a way to discredit Palin without going against all of their usual "talking points".

They can't discredit her for being a woman because until Obama was up in the mix, they were pretty keen on Hillary and the concept of having a woman in office.

They can't discredit her on experience because she has more political experience than Obama. The unimportance they attribute to experience because of Obama's lack of experience prevents them from making a credible argument against somebody with more experience.

They can't discredit her on track record, as Obamas track record consists of a lot of voting "present". If anything, his track record is protecting his image.

They can't discredit her on her speaking ability because she's spot on. Besides, they don't need a lot of attention on the fact that Obama looks as if he's done little more than memorize the mannerisms and speaking techniques of JKF and MLK.

Of course, the only thing left to discredit her is the fact that she's republican. That is where she deviates from what they like. Unfortunately for them, that is exactly what the country seems to like about her.

Further more, she is a hard to discredit candidate because the democrats have been preaching "change" and "hope". The democrats have a track record of "talk" when it comes to these words. I'm suprised that people still take them seriously given that they also have a track record of inaction on the subject. However, Sarah Palin has a track record of making change instead of just talking about it.

Her own ability to "do" as opposed to just "talk" is the key to her survive. The detractors will have to settle for pithy tabloid trash if they want to attack her. Where the rubber meets the road, she's already moving...

When my sign arrives for the front yard, the will be another sign that says, "Send a Mom to Clean House". Men and women alike prefer action over what we have seen coming from Washington, especially Congress. Why do they get a "free pass" as to the state of this country? While Bush certainly has his faults, he's been pushing for more drilling since he came to office, while Congress sold out to the environmentalists.

There must be balance in every situation. That is why we pay public servants to use wisdom when making decisions FOR the good of the PEOPLE for today and for tomorrow. I believe Sarah Palin will use this type of wisdom.

Before Gov. Palin came on the scene, I could not get excited about John McCain.I was not as interested in his middle of the road ways, especially his views on immigration. Then Gov. Palin appeared representing traditional Republican thinking. She is a true conservative. She added to his weak ticket in a way that no one else could have. She'l get the presendital training while serving as VP and then in eight years, she can run for President. God Bless her and her beautiful family.

What is the matter with Hollywood? Do they really think that we care what they think about Gov. Palin and the Republicans? They have no morals, no ethics, no decency, so how can they think that we would listen to their views or opinions? Everytime I see an ad by them on the TV, I want to laugh. The Democrats and their supporters have no idea what a truly nice family, like the Palins is like. They are so out of touch with their policys and beliefs, that when a decent human being, Sarah Palin, is presented to them, they lash out with lies, disrepect and fear.

The Mortgage Crisis

The mortgage crisis could not have been an accident. The people that "approved" the mortgages KNEW that:

  1. Were going to have prohibitive payments in 12 to 24 months
  2. Were going to be on property worth far less than what they sold for within 12 to 24 months
  3. Would be forclosed on because they couldn't sell for the amount of the mortgage

Bankers blame it on homeowners making bad decisions or not having foresight. However, those bankers get very uncomfortable when you point out that these mortgage were all approved by bankers that get PAID to know the market and it's trends.

When you point out that regular people like you and I saw this coming back in 2004/2005, they start to tap their fingers and look around nervously.

The short answer is that they set us up and we don't know "why".

Mortgages traditionally require people prove they can make the payments even when the market is not headed down. The banks knew exactly what they were doing...

The Media On It's Knees

Why is it that the mainstream media is clamoring on their knees in front of Obama as if their unwarranted affection will somehow lower his zipper and give them what they so desperately seem to want?
