Convention Speech Notes

bill, you shouldnt believe everything you read.

http://beldar.blogs.com/beldarblog/2008/09/not-a-radical-s.html

that post makes the point very well. she was clearly speaking as a rep of the state of alaska and obviously said she was part of a different party that was in competition to the ind. party.

theres no evidence that shes separatist

as for obama’s judgement, he sat in the pews of a radical, racist, anti-american church for 20 yrs. if thats good judgement then ive no idea what bad judgement is.

No, Bill, she didn’t attend one of their conferences. She recorded a video for them, as is common practice of the governor to record greetings to all the major parties. There’s nothing to suggest she agrees with any of their views, supports them in any way, or is in any way involved with them. She probably recorded a greeting for the democrats too, so now you’ll have her as being pro-abortion?

Her daughter is pregnant, so she can’t espouse conservative values? I assure you one can easily do that. No one is perfect, that much is clear, so even if she herself was pregnant at age 17 and unmarried, she could easily support and espouse the values she believes in. In this case, it’s one step further- why should she not be able to have conservative values because her daughter got pregnant? She’s responsible for every action anyone in her family makes?

I’ve no idea how many times McCain met Palin, and I hardly think it matters. You can choose a running mate without being their best friend…which is why they send scores of people out to vet every candidate.

You don’t like her. I get that. That’s fine. But, as I said before, there’s no evidence either her or husband have been members of the party in question, and she merely recorded a greeting for them as she did all the other state parties. Part of being a governor is doing things like this- recording messages for political parties, sending letters to organizations you’ve no connect with to congratulate them, honoring people you’ve never heard of, etc.

Funny. That MIGHT make sense if there was any evidence to suggest her husband was a separatist!

Who said Obama should be put “in front of a firing squad for treason”?

You can ignore the fact that Obama listened to racist anti-American sermons every week for 20 years, and then claim there’s no evidence he’s a racist (don’t ya know, we ALL sit and listen to racism every week when we disagree with it)…but, you’re living in fantasyland.

Even if her husband WAS a separatist, being married to someone doesn’t denote a sharing of views and values. That’s like saying Carville and Matlin actually share the same views because they’re married. They don’t. AT ALL. Not even close to the same views, yet they’re married. Married couples have polar opposite political views every day in every city on earth. CHOOSING a church with a racist pastor who goes on anti-American screeds on a regular basis DOES show that there are shared core values and beliefs. You stay in a marriage with opposing views, you don’t stay in a church if you have completely opposite views of that church.

So, no, there’s no evidence to suggest Palin’s husband is a nutjob. But, yes, there is 20 yrs of evidence to suggest that Barack Obama is a racist who, on some level, shares anti-american views with his twisted pastor.

Yes, I’m moderating comments. No, I’m not at all. Considering every comment posted here today has been approved. I don’t have a lot of time with work, school work, and other obligations to go deep into the wordpress code to see why it’s suddenly making me approve every comment. I posted here last week or the week before mentioning that I accidentally changed a setting that caused you to have to subscribe to comment, but that it wouldn’t let anyone subscribe even if they wanted to…I changed that, and since then it’s sent every single comment (outside of mine, which are logged in as admin) to the moderation queue.

cant really reply to your comment about palin. havent had the time yet to look into her background and the various claims being made yet.

I didn’t say I don’t know anything about her or these specific claims about her. I was referring to the bridge, and I’m not all that interested in discussing anything with Bill who comes here with an attitude from first word. Plus, I don’t know what a ‘seperatasist’ is.

Her husband, according to some reports from the party itself, registered on a form as a member but never involved himself with the party. The party has, on their site, made that clear. So, creating fictions won’t work. They’ve also made it clear Sarah has never had any connection to them, has never supported them, has never been a member, and doesn’t share their basic platform views. You’re obviously confused, but it’s not usual practice for the governor of a state to attack the 3rd largest political party in their state. It doesn’t tend to bode well for purposes of good will.

Im pretty sure ignorance reigns, and this is proof…

The party’s platform isn’t to break up the US, and you should study an issue before you make such absurd claims. Governors dont attack large political parties. The party is far from fringe in Alaska, and their platform, if you’d read it for yourself, simply deals with a promised vote given to Alaska in the 1950′s. Not to “break up the US.” Governors don’t routinely attack the third largest political party of their state. It’s called suicide. It’s called harboring ill will for no good reason.

Her husband put down on one form that he was part of the AIP. So, that’s a connection between himself and the party, even tho if you bother to research the issue the party itself says he had no connection to them, never organized for them, never had anything to do with them,etc?

Why would I say Obama holds racist beliefs? Well, there’s the difference, though you’re clearly resolute in ignoring those bits of info. You recall his sitting in the pews of a racist chirch for 20 yrs, no? If I went to a white seperatist church for 20 yrs, wouldn’t you say that I hold racist beliefs on some level? Of course you would. Which is why I same the same of Obama. Unless you think listening weekly to racist rantings is an admirable trait in a man?

Obama’s record of service?? Which record of service? He won his first election in IL by stabbing his mentors in the back. He claims to be a new kind of politician, yet he got all his opponents thrown off the ballot on a technicality. Service? He spent his time in the state senate doing a whole lot of nothing, voting present more times than one can even count. He voted to oppose a bill saving the live’s of born alive children from botched abortions. He spent time as a community organizer, and just google that issue to see the results, along with the fab pictures of his “Service.” He spenta mere 143 days in the US senate before he announced his 2 year run for the White House (hard to serve when you get in and immediately decide to run for office, then spend 2 yrs running for that office.)

There’s no real record of service at all, and to claim it’s next to none is wishful thinking at best.

Try looking up the word “lunatic” as there’s nothing to suggest anyone in the video is a lunatic. You’r an anti-religious bigot. Congrats. At least you admit the clear fact that Obama attended an anti-american racist church.

By the way, chopped up video from someone from the other party to suggest that Palin is somehow insane. And? Blowwww me away. (whew)

lol. I love how the smear merchants over at HuffPo who revel in the deaths of consveratives on a regular basis distort the video:

Palin asked the congregation to “pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God. That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”

The Huffington Post described this as Palin “paint(ing) the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord,” which McCain-Palin spokesman Michael Goldfarb calls “a distortion of what she was saying.”

“She very clearly was saying that she’s praying for military men and women to do what’s right,” Goldfarb says. “Every religious American prays that what the U.S. is doing in Iraq is something that is a righteous act.”

Religious Americans regularly pray that acts they take are the correct, or righteous ones, Goldfarb said, arguing that was what Palin meant by her remarks.
