Cha-ching! $205,000 and counting...

.

From the Times of London:

  

"The revelation that the Republican National Committee spent about $150,000 (£94,000) on Palin's designer wardrobe, $36,000 on her make-up artist and $19,000 on her hairdresser has detracted from the Alaska governor's folksy, moose-hunting image. Her standing among independent women voters, a key target group, has declined by 24 points since the Republican convention in early September, according to a poll in The Washington Post."

  

A dream of every "real-American": A gun-toting, runner-up beauty queen, running after a moose, killing, skinning and cooking him; I fail to understand why liberals want to crush this "real-American Dream".

Republicans gone wild

.
Michele Bachmann's comments last week suggesting members of Congress should be investigated for anti-Americanism have already raised her opponent more than $1 million in 96 hours. Now, two more Republicans find themselves in hot water for off-the-cuff remarks that suggest Democrats, well, they just don't see America like the rest of us.

  

"Liberals hate real Americans that work and accomplish and achieve and believe in God," North Carolina Rep. Robin Hayes told a crowd waiting to hear from John McCain. He denied the story at first, in statements to Politico, before later conceding that he did and apologizing.

  

Now, new video has come to light in New York, in which upstate Republican Randy Kuhl tells WHAM-TV he thinks the Democratic majority "wants the American public to suffer and to hurt so that they can make some political gains at election time."

  

All three Republicans are getting seriously negative publicity for their remarks in local papers, and it's making their re-election bids less certain.

  

That's terrible news for both Hayes and Kuhl, who already faced difficult races. Hayes beat Democrat Larry Kissell by 300 votes in 2006 and either trails Kissell by a wide margin (in a Democratic poll) or leads by just three (in his own poll). Kuhl beat Democrat Eric Massa by a 51%-49% margin in 2006 and now trails Massa in the latest Democratic poll.

  

We can only imagine the title of the forthcoming memo from Republican campaign chief Tom Cole: "Shut up!"

Foolish Democracts

The White House is within sight, as is a filibuster-proof Senate and a handsome majority in the House.

So what are the senior Democrats up to? Running their mouth and tickling their tonsils with their toes. And helping McCain.

Joe Biden is guaranteeing an international crisis if the Obama-Biden ticket is elected. "Mark my words: It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy," Biden told the crowd. "The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Watch, we're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy." Mr Biden added, "He's going to have to make some really tough - I don't know what the decision's going to be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it's going to happen,".
  
Barney Frank is looking forward to raise taxes.

John Murtha is calling many of the people who put him in office "rednecks." The news comes one week after Murtha claimed the area is racist, then apologized for that comment. Murtha believes there is one segment of the population which is holding on to its racist beliefs and he said it's difficult for them to change. Murtha said it may be even more difficult for them to vote for Sen. Barack Obama for president. "Particularly older people. They want change but they don't want to see things go too far," Murtha said.

John Kerry, addressing a business summit on energy issues, had this joke to tell: "Barack got asked the famous boxers or briefs question," Kerry went on. "I was tempted to say commando." The senator said Obama successfully parried that question but that John McCain, the GOP nominee, had some problems. "Then they asked McCain and McCain said, ‘Depends,'"

McCain was ahead in the polls after he picked the former beauty queen as his running mate and was focusing on his foreign policy and security creds. The financial crisis came as an October sursprise, and Obama started to take over and as of today, the RCP average shows him ahead by over seven points. 

However, Biden is giving an opening to McCain to take the focus back to McCain's comfort zone. Frank is bolstering McCain's argument that Obama will raise your taxes. Murtha is reminding the small-town folks, who Palin thinks are the only patriotic ones, that Obama sees you a bitter guys who cling to God and guns. Kerry is once again trying his hand at comedy after backlash to his comment about the GI Joes made him forget to run again.

It seems that the Democrats may unleash a bigger November surprise: snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.


Are they stupid? Why can't they just shut up?

Who is the REAL Sarah Palin?

After the "throw the kitchen-sink" tactic didn't work, the McCain camp is sowing the seeds of a new one: We can't have the Congress and the President of the same Party.

It is sad to see that the Republicans have given any hope of regaining either branch of Congress; heavy losses are predicted for them in the House, and it is becoming likelier that the Dems will have a filibuster-proof majority of 60 in the Senate.

  

More than anyone, Republicans should know how this could create a mess. For the last eight years, they have controlled all the three branches of government: the Executive, the Legislative and the Judiciary.

Thank God I ain't an A-rab!

At a recent townhall meeting, a supporter told McCain, "I don't trust Obama...He's an Arab."
 
McCain stood shaking his head as she spoke, then quickly took the microphone from her.
 
"No, ma'am," he said. "He's a decent, family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with."
  

So if you are an Arab, you are not a citizen (obviously), or a decent, family man.
  

For a full disclosure to the McCain mob, I ain't a Muslim either. So please, please, never distrust me, or hurt me.

Leave Sweet Palin alone

Doggone it, the media has to be filtered; it is so disrespectful of the MSM to publish stories like these about a future president. If a joe-sixpack like me, or a hockey-mom like my wife, had our way, these predators would be raising a white flag of surrender. I report, you decide:

 

• Alaska judge orders state to preserve Palin's e-mails: A judge has ordered the state of Alaska to preserve any government-related e-mails that Gov. Sarah Palin sent from private accounts. "It's a dereliction of the governor and her duties," she said. The judge ordered the attorney general to contact Yahoo and other private carriers to preserve any e-mails sent and received on those accounts. If the e-mails were destroyed when the accounts were deactivated, he directed state officials to have the companies attempt to resurrect the e-mails.
• Panel finds Palin abused her power in safety official's firing: Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report by a bipartisan panel that investigated the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain. The investigation revealed that Palin's husband, Todd, has extraordinary access to the governor's office and her closest advisers. He used that access to try to get trooper Mike Wooten fired, the report found. Branchflower faulted Sarah Palin for taking no action to stop that. He also noted there is evidence the governor herself participated in the effort.
• For Palin, some pork is kosher: Palin over the years has approved billions of taxpayer dollars for discretionary projects, including some to which she had personal, political or parochial connections. From the $25,000 for the Juneau Christian Center to $2 million for an academic conference meant to dispel the broadly-accepted idea that climate change is threatening polar bears (she actually preferred the money be used for the state’s lawsuit arguing the bears shouldn’t be listed as threatened) to $630,000 for a kitchen in a hockey arena complex the self-described hockey mom built during her second term as Wasilla’s mayor, Palin has tended to approve line items in Alaska’s capital budget — essentially the state version of federal earmarks — for projects favored by her and her supporters.
• Meet Sarah Palin’s radical right-wing pals: Extremists Mark Chryson and Steve Stoll helped launch Palin’s political career in Alaska, and in return had influence over policy. “Her door was open,” says Chryson — and still is. Chryson belongs to a fringe political party, one that advocates the secession of Alaska from the Union. “The Alaskan Independence Party has got links to almost every independence-minded movement in the world,” Chryson exclaimed. “And Alaska is not the only place that’s about separation. There’s at least 30 different states that are talking about some type of separation from the United States.” 
• Todd Palin, Longtime Former AIP Member: Gail Fenumiai, director of the Alaska Division of Elections, says that Palin's husband Todd was a member of the AIP from October 1995 through July 2002, except for a few months in 2000. He is currently undeclared. At least two AIP officials recall Gov. Palin attending the 1994 convention, though she says she did not attend.

 
And I'm tired of the rubbish posted on YouTube linking her to the AIP
