In the long history of our country 74 people have held the position of President or Vice-President and why have the major parties given America only two chances to even consider a woman for either office – Sarah Palin, 10/221/08
In what can only be categorized as one of the strangest political seasons in many years, I found myself a Democrat (now former), Hillary supporter, and moderate supporting the John McCain and Sarah Palin ticket during the 2008 election.
After the MSM & the DNC’s section of BHO there was only one choice. That choice was to put country before party. No regrets . . . this was the right choice.
We are now watching the wholesale destruction of our economy, under the control of Obama, Geithner, Pelosi, Reid, and Frank . . . and the greedy Democratic Congress.
This has made me more determined than ever to support candidates and politicians whose past records have demonstrated common sense and good governance.
Two politicians from different political parties, sharing a common denominator that is in short supply in Washington … reality based common sense!

When she didn't get the nomination I thought that there was no way that Obama would win. He threw his minister of 20 years under the bus and didn't pledge allegiance to the flag. He did not possess any sense of loyalty (IMO). Hillary reamed Obama many times and now they work together. Doesn't that seem odd to everyone?
What is it about Hillary Clinton that has you so enamored of her?
I started supporting Hillary when she ran for POTUS. She was ripped off and should have been president. The country would be much better off with her in office. Of late, I am not as happy with some of her positions, but there would be something wrong if I agreed with everything she did, and I don\’t.
BTW, I was disappointed in her snarky comments about Herman Cain when she had her meeting with Pres Karzai two weeks ago. Considering how the MSM treated her when she was running, it was unnecessary.
Neither of them are qualified. I do like what Sarah Palin has done for the TEA Party to sever the ties with the elitists but I don't think she can stand up to the full force of Lucifer. Hillary is so far from my ideal that I wouldn't ever consider her for the job. Thankfully, neither of them are running and distracting from the issues that have come up with the current administration and around the world. I like Herman Cain and Ron Paul. Michele Bachmann started out well but she is playing the game of the left by criticizing contenders in her own party. The rest of them don't stand a chance to beat Obama unless they can pull a rabbit out of their hats. Newt is ahead of Perry and Romney, Huntsman is giving rehearsed speeches and not answering questions, Gary Johnson isn't aggressive enough to make his point, the other guy hasn't impressed me enough to remember his name. We'll see. We have a long time to go (too long) and things could change dramatically before the election.

So much has changed since I originally wrote this. I disagree with you and think both Hillary and Sarah are qualified. Plus Sarah has gotten a lot tougher in the three years the Progressives & the MSM have been trying to disassemble her.
As for this year, and remember this spoken as one who is still a registered Democrat (too lazy to change) and who voted for McCain in 2008, Bachman, Romney, Paul, and Perry are all out in my book. Don\’t like Santorum, never did. Johnson and Huntsman, who cares?
My vote for the winning ticket to defeat the fake Obama is a Cain/Gingrich. Imagine a Cain/Obama debate and the Biden/Gingrich (LOL) debate. Both are worth the \”price of admission\” as they say!
I think that Hillary and Obama are working together to turn this country into something that most people don't want. It's Fabian Socialism. I do like Sarah Palin but I don't like that she quit her governor job. She is a good cheerleader for the TEA Party! I'm leery of Gingrich's Third Way. The John Birch Society reamed him over it but I need to hear more about why he wanted his group to read about it. Cain is growing on me and I donated to his campaign today. The more the left says negative about him the more fear they show of him! I'm not a fan of establishment Republicans but I'm going to vote for any Republican who wins the nomination over Barack Hussein Obama! I would like to see a debate between Biden and Gingrich too. Gingrich would wipe the floor with Biden! Santorum is who I didn't remember. Register to vote as a Republican so you can vote for the candidate to run against Pharoahbama.
are you completly out of touch with what is going on in the U.S. You are posting two and three year old
descussiondiscussion about politics that was of little importance then and not at all now…Phillip
What are you talking about? All of my posts are current. GO TO THE HOME PAGE AND READ THEM.
FYI, many of the most popular posts are from 2008 and 2009. It’s taken that long for the majority of the country to catch up with me. Obama’s a dual citizen/fake/ineligible to be POTUS was first written about in the summer of 2008. If you think that is irrelevant, you are the one that is out of touch.
Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton are two poor examples of womanhood.
I agree with you about Pelosi but not about Hillary.
Dear Hillary and Me,
I just have a quick question for you but couldn’t find an email so had to resort to this. I am a progressive blogger. Please email me back at barbaraobrien@maacenter.org when you get a chance. Thanks.

John:
Phelbin and few others who continue to visit here have, indeed, drunk from the Kool-Aid . . . one might say in copious amounts.
I’m not sure why they continue to post their comments here, but as long as they remain respectful I’ll let their opinions stay.
Talking to each other is better than not attempting any discourse.
Anyone who doubts the extreme bias against Palin is nuts. Biden did a gaffe a day almost and was totally shielded. He told 32 lies in his VP debate.
Palin’s interview with Couric was carefully edited and did you know Katie consulted with Obamatons about what to ask?
Phelbin and Dave drank the Koolaid. As did many who ignored the FACT Obama taught the Marxist ideas of Alinsky and worked them to perfection in his class warfare campaign and in his refusal to be accountable to the constitution. How can he swear to uphold that which he holds in such low esteem?
Actually, those numbers are a bit dated, although she is still quite popular in Alaska. But you are dead wrong. That topic was discussed all over the “MSM” as you say. Her popularity in Alaska was never questioned. The “negative” coverage of Palin was a direct result of her own obvious ineptitude. She simply couldn’t handle the questions. What was the “MSM” supposed to do? Pretend like she could? The “negativity” came directly from Palin, unfiltered.
Sarah Palin is AMAZING!!!
She has an 85% approval rating in Alaska…76% by democrats!!!…she is off the charts!
No one ever tells you that in the main stream media do they?… Don’t believe me… just “google” this and you will find her rating easy.

You are right to feel afraid.
I would rather have a third term for Bush than a first term of another Fidel Castro. I dislike McCain but will gladly vote for him over Change I cannot trust. Obama has gone from anti-war to a warmonger now warning us through Powell and Biden of “something big”. Every promise he ever made will go down the toilet the day after he’s sworn into office. Mark my words!!
A McSame win in November = a third term for Bush
McCain and that wacko fundie Palin are everything American stands against.
Vote Obama.
Dave:
I have not switched to the GOP. My vote for the McCain/Palin ticket is because the new Democratic Party is so far left as to be inhabitable by any independent or moderate like myself.
With the exception of the pro-life/pro-choice differences being the most pronounced, Sarah and Hillary are both pragmatic politicians. And, thank you very much, but I’ll take the experience of a mayor and governor who has negotiated a 30 billion dollar deal with the oil companies any day. I’ll take the experience of a woman that has actually had to make a payroll over a history lecturer steeped in theory, any day.
This is a pick of country over party for all HRC supporters that are voting for McCain/Palin.
You know someone somewhere has something hanging over Hillary and Bubba’s head. There was such an abrupt turn around to “going along with the Obama agenda” that has to give us all pause plus her declaring that she will not be running for President. I mean really it all seems like she is being threatened or something.
I was so dissappointed when Beck came out with the super silly ranting and mockery of any questions about Obama’s birth. So much for his “Question without fear”. I was dissappointed in O’Reilly’s “seen the birth certificate on FactCheck.org and concluded Obama was born in Hawaii”….and thus that settled it for him. Upset that Ann Coulter would dismiss the whole issue with “if anyone would have proven otherwise it would have been the Clintons”.
The records are sealed and proof thus far so flimsy an idiot would question it. Knowing the tactics of Rahm Emanuel and others in the Obama Forces (Joe the Plummer) I have to think that anyone who questions anything about this man will be made to look like a baffoon. Look what they have done to Sarah Palin who had the highest approval rate (at one time 93%) of any politician ever in history. She is so dismissed as a baffoon. To those that look beyond any of her gaffs is because we know her values, and her integrity have shown her to be one of a spine of steel. That one is a whirlwind of power. They sense it too. They don’t know why they hate her so but they fume with mockery and hate toward her …they just try to come up with reasons why that hate is justified.
In any case OBAMA’S KENYA FATHER MAKES HIM INELIGIBLE FOR POTUS BECAUSE HE IS NOT A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN WHICH IS THE REQUIREMENT FOR PRESIDENT. When we keep on pusing this issue until someone quits mocking and owns up to that fact that Constitutionally Obama did not meet the qualifications of President ….then all laws everything in his campaign and since can be made null and void. Since Pelosi would have complied with signing him in as eligible she would be deposed…..Hillary would become our President and the Democrats would have to vote in a new Speaker.
Why wait till November 2010? Please tell me who can bring this issue to the front.
The fact that you were once a Hillary supporter and have now switched to the GOP is very telling. Sarah Palin goes against everything Hillary believed in and supported.
If you think Palin is more ready than many of those qualified in the GOP, you are mistaking. She is a gimmick (a smart move by McCain) to lure all of the Hillary supporters and its apparently working but she will be exposed everyday until election day. Can’t wait to se the debate between Palin and Biden, oh wait, the GOP is tightening her Q&A’s to protect her. Nevermind.
There are many who supported Hillary that now support Palin. The reason is because they are “common sense” governors as was Bill Clinton. They have their own beliefs and platforms but give in to the will of the people (WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE) and you have to govern in a bipartisan way or else you have what we are beginning to see is almost a Dictatorship with Congress and the President being so far left in thought and policy which is representative to less than 20% of the population. Palin is as is the majority of Americans…center right. I really think that you believe that the ProLife stance of Hillary’s makes her in complete contrast to Palin but there are many Clinton supporters (mostly Catholics) that were in opposition to Clinton on that and Palin fits their bill better and others that knew that neither Clinton nor Palin could affect much in regard to abortion because it is the law of the land and it would take an overwhelming Republican party in Congress to affect any such change.
Hillary is a common sense person, a strong woman, and even those that oppose her should respect that about her. Sarah Palin supporters see a woman that sees corruption even in her own party and opposes it, she says to every woman that no matter if you have children you can still be a strong leader of the people. She can shoot the pig and bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan. She amazed me when I saw her conducting an interview while aboard a fishing boat in waders taking fish out of a net. What other poliitician in history has ever done that. She talks the talk and walks the walk.
Even Moses was not an eloquent speaker so we who love her don’t take any gaff she makes out of context to define her by that or this statement. What you say to today is not what you are all about…What you are all about is what you have “done” and said you whole life. Her life demands respect and honor. As far as taking a sound bite and measuring intelligence then by that measure Obama is an idiot, unlearned, and uneducated because he said “in all 57 states”….plus all his teleprompter gaffs.
I hope you will consider reading Going Rogue and truly get an idea as to how Sarah Palin thinks and how she comes to her decisions in life. You may not agree with her but you should at least know that she is not the DIVA the liberal media paints of her.
Carol:
I admire Sarah and Hillary. I think both of them are better than the parties they belong to, in particular Hillary. Hillary doesn’t need the Dems and Sarah doesn’t need the GOP.
Both women have taken it on the chin and their treatment by the MSM has been shameful. Yes, Sarah is not eloquent, but she will improve. If you really wanted to see some heads explode in Washington, imagine a Clinton/Palin ticket in 2012! LOL.
I’d sure vote for that ticket. Their strengths would absolutely compliment one another I think. I really think Hillary would be a great President as she reads people and I really think that she would “listen” to what the people want…the majority of the people. She knows how to work in a bipartisan way as does Sarah.
You know Sarah is a fabulous speaker but she does poorly when she is the one being interviewed. I want to say..”Lighten up girl”..just be yourself. I think she would be good also on a panel. Also where Sarah does well is in debates. It was her TV debate that she won when running for Governor of AK and she did fantastic against Joe Biden. I hate all this “she was a heart-beat from being President”….and look at the baffoon we have one heartbeat from Obama…Biden. Just imagine! OMG!
I am in such hopes that Obama will be deposed and declared ineligible and Hillary is given her rightful place as our President.
Have you written to Greta Van Sustren regarding the dual citizenship ineligibility? I know that Greta is one that admires Hillary and Sarah as well.
Carol:
You have given this a great deal of thought and raised some interesting questions. Right now I’m in the busiest part of our season, so I have little time to respond to everything you have said. I will try to get to this later today.
BTW, I have an answer for what we can do next. Also, Greta wire picked up on one of my posts … the one about Congress knowing Obama was illegal.
