Sarah Palin & Those who laugh last!

that brick wall

I've butted my head against that brick wall so many times in the last few days, I have bruises!!!

Dear IRANdokht

I am almost sure you have seen this new Bill Maher episode, but just to show you that you are not talking to a wall, I offer it as your morning comic relief:

AW and skatermom

Do you sometimes feel like you're talking to a wall?

I honestly think that I am going dizzy having to explain my views over and over and over again only to have a republican turn around and tell me I should vote for Palin since I am a woman!!!

I need some comic relief already and it's not even 11 AM yet!!!

IRANdokht

What? They get paid to have kids?

And here I was doing it for fun!

Anonymous... where in the world would you get the idea I might be jealous of Palin?  You simply aren't getting my point.  I've NEVER said or implied she was a bad mother.  I absolutely stand by my point that I do not believe she can be an effective VP and a mother of four, one of which is a special-needs child.  But I'm not going to start in on that again. 

Just wanted to clear the air on that one...AGAIN...lol.

Oh, of course

She is Alaskas' answer to Princess Diana.John will become overshadowed by her charismatic pure beauty and have her squashed in the Chesapeake tunnel.You read it first,here.

Republican Jesus freak feminist? LOOOOOOOOOOOL

Republican Traditional Family values jesus Freak feminist party's Palin
who said:" I haven't followed the Iraq war" and
according to Laura Bush is qualified for national security, because Alaska is so near Russia, one wonders, who are the total idiots who follow the other village idiot?

As for this nonsense about Obama being elitist.
It's his fault for having a brain and using it and getting to university?

What is elitist is what Fox news and the Republicans have being doing: dumbing everyone down so that they can do with their chattle as they like.

I suggest everyone get over her vagina and try to listen - I know it's hard - to the crap she says.

Befarmaeed. Eenam damade

Befarmaeed. Eenam damade Khanoomeh Palin.

Hands off Irandokht

Hands off Irandokht sister,
Sarah Palin was the one who dragged her motherhood out. Her party was the one that made the issue. Feminists, mothers, women who have posted here have no problem that she is a woman running for VP. We have a problem with the fact that she is the WRONG woman running for VP. She's THE woman who will take everything our grandmothers and mothers fought for and toss them back in to the last century. She is vehemently anti-choice. She is also an advocate of creationism. I have a 5th grader who NEEDS to learn hard sciences. Not some cockamamy fairy tale story of how he was a product of an incestuous tryst in a garden over an apple. Or that early man walked with a pachycephalosaurs or that the earth was created 6000 years ago.
Palen's problem made it our problem when she refused funding for women centered programs in her home state. What makes you think she wont make it her priority to the same for our great nation.
Don't think for a minute that if Obama's un married, under age daughter wasn't pregnant the republicans wouldn't parade her out and have a problem with it.
Like Bill Maher said: "If this happened to Michele Obama she'd slap the black off her girls."
There are sooo many more working American mothers of 5 out there who can better represent us. Just not this one. This one sucks.

God Help Us All

Palin is quite scary. Compared with her, McCain is quite liberal.

The words they use!!

Yinzer...

Obama is going to be the President.. i am dead sure about it...i can have a bet on that!

to yinzer

You mentioned to ask Bill Clinton about winning. Well, Hillary didn't exactly win, you know.

Hey Iran Dokht

that post has not come from a guy..i am a girl...and i hate girls dragging this feminism everywhere..i fail to understand in a country like America people are dragging her motherhood and her being a lady into politics..damn...if people were truely modern secular democratic (not the party i mean here :)) it should not click to them at all a lady is being posted...why cant she be just seen as a person who is being appointed for a particular thing..why cant she be just seen as a choice...why everytime she has a four month old baby kind of thing coming up....damn it sounds so funny....if people talk of her being efficient or inefficient as a governor or mayor or whatever that still makes sense..but talking of her bearing a baby at 44 and having a baby which is 4 month old makes no sense...

and if she has talked of some family values..it is equally stupid of her to talk..there are certain bare minimum essential values that everybody is expected and supposed to be having when one is living in a civilized society..nobody needs to proclaim them......

how can we help others act according to some values when we as humans keep defeating sometimes some things that we ourselves believe in ..

i mean to say her family life is a point blank discussion.....connecting her with values she possess makes sense..but connecting post of VP with feminism, motherhood, family values is more stupid...and it astounds some more when people living in free progressive modern america talk about it...

republican brand of feminist talk

She might not be a very graceful choice but she remains a hot beautiful smart choice...to support Mc Cain...at least now people are ready to look at him..she has been able to divert the attention to Mc Cain who was obviously for obvious reasons being overlooked..She could garner him the attention that he wanted and right now that is all that he wanted!!

Now , after slamming democrats for alienating the feminists, you come up with such demeaning words to describe how pro-woman republicans think of their VP...

way to go!!!  the more you guys speak up the better! :0)

IRANdokht

Khar

In some ways yes, and some ways no.

Both the better or the worse can only be attributed to myself. I am personally responsible and accountable for where I am in 2008 vs, 2000. And it will remain that way until I become a buffet for worms.

It's going to happen

McCain/Palin are going to win, the Democrats have botched things once again. Every 4 years it gets easier and easier for a Democrat to win the election yet they consistently fail.

What's worse, dumb candidates runing on a dumb platform -or- losing to dumb candidates runing on a dumb platform? Democrats need to reevaluate thier platform, maybe ask Bill Clinton for a little advise on winning.

Why is McCain/Palin going to beat Obama/Biden? Both sides have rallied thier bases, but its far too easy to paint Obama/Biden as liberal elitists. Outside of the Democrat base, liberal elitism does not win votes. Paul Krugman had a good piece about it in the NyTimes.

Evidence that the Democrats are worried about Palin in her very first week:
- Liberals are already attacking Palin using sexist remarks. That she's a bad mother, that this job cannot be done by a mother with a family. Feminists are not going to vote republican but some of them may stay at home if treated badly. The democrats already alienated many of them by not electing Hillary. And to add insult to injury they didn't give her the VP nod. And now they are saying that a woman with a family is by definition unfit to have an important job. Why would the democrats risk this final insult if they were not afraid of Palin?
- The Dems have used extremly weak links to Pat Buchanan to accuse Palin of being a Nazi and anti-semite. The evidence is laughable, the Dems are grasping at straws out of desperation.

Is a McCain/Palin ticket good for US-Iran policy? I really doubt it. While both parties have had a habit of dropping bombs to solve disputes, McCain seems to have his hand on the trigger. One can only hope that McCain is only talking tough to bring Iran to the table and strike a bargain.

One should not drag feminism everywhere!!

The American Wife and The Mrs. seem to be jealous of Sarah Palin..How much they are trying to prove that she is a very bad lady..sometime using mathematics and taxes as a pretext...sometimes calling her a bad mother...she is not being elected for the post of Mother America..c'mon

No doubt it has been proven again and again women are the worst enemies of women..Ever seen how mother-in laws fare with daughter-in laws...and how the smart girls are worst enemies of smarter ones..

And regarding a 17 year old getting pregrant..do children listen to their parents anymore and obviously Sarah was not there guiding her daughter through the process...

If her career is dear to her it definitely does not mean that she hates her children..

She might not be a very graceful choice but she remains a hot beautiful smart choice...to support Mc Cain...at least now people are ready to look at him..she has been able to divert the attention to Mc Cain who was obviously for obvious reasons being overlooked..She could garner him the attention that he wanted and right now that is all that he wanted!!

Mr. Kaveh...

Are you better off now than 8 years ago?

To my dear friend Irandokht aziz

 Excerpts from my comments on this blog:

1-Sarah Pale not Palin.

2-she is smarter[than Ahmadinejad] since she sold it on ebay!?WOW,she can really bring change!

3-After watching the link below (thanks to Foxy friends),not Fox news.

4-Do you remember "Alaska"(fake ice cream)?

She is like that ,nice to look at,mouth watering( like Akbar Mashti ice cream),but when you lick it,you realize that you have been taken for a ride & this is not a real ice cream they told you & you paid for!.

5-Hope you know what Alaska is!? can't be hot,it'll melt.

Pale? ( not palin)

I think "Rocky" would be a better choice for Mc-Cain?! ( not McCain)

Hope you read between the lines now!.

skatermom,

Now you blew it, skatermom. With the $1,200 allowance per kid, in the next six months there'll be huge Iranian communities popping up in Alaska.

As for sex education, Iranians know it all!

P.S.
Are you serious about the crab business in Alaska? If you need a partner, let me know. I'll be your marketing guy! Having been in the fish business for so long, I can assure you you won't regret my partnership.

Went to Alaska on two

Went to Alaska on two separate trips. One for salmon fishing in Sitka. One to Fairbanks. My husband and I had a run in with one in our rental car. Okay so it's my fault. I was a bit of a shutterfly that day. There mean SOBs too. They don't need the added stress.
It's not that profitable here in the lower 48s to push out babies. Don't think I haven't looked in to that.

Skatermom

The reason why they don't have sex ed in Alaska schools is because of the stress it would put on the moose population.   :)

Besides. if you want to get paid for cranking out kids, go on welfare right here in the lower 48.

skatermom

are you serious? they get paid to breed?

wow

IRANdokht

Here's some food for

Here's some food for thought. Totally tongue in cheek. However isn't perhaps too off base.
Why is it that health ed is not funded in Alaska and Alaskans have large families? Could it be the 1200/year per family member stipend they are given and have been since 1976?
Is Sarah Palin encouraging Alaskans to breed at an exponential rate to amass her state's budget surplus?
Don't think I haven't thought of moving to Ketchekan and started king crab fishing? If I could live thru the grueling winters my family and I can live quite well. I could even talk my hubby in to more kids. There is however my sagging breasts and my crows feet to contend with. There is that annual trip to Rio that could also solve that though.
Crap this is a no-brainer. I just talked myself into it.

The Mrs

You gotta admit:

Cher has had so much plastic surgery she has her own reserved parking space at the doctor's office.

(Plus, one more Botox injection and she gets a free soy latte!)

True, Sarah Palin has cranked out so many kids she has her own set of stirrups, but there's no denying that she's a hell of a lot easier on the eyes than Cher.

AW

You're right...the funds remain allocated to Alaska, because the books on the budget for the fiscal year in which the funds were allocated are already closed. 

But any expenditure still has to be approved by Washington.

It's like when my mother would give me an allowance when I was a kid but then she would dictate where and how I spent my money. (She's one of "those" people)

Speaking of New Orleans, seeing that Gustav didn't do as much damage as first feared, there's talk that people are going to get complacent again like they did pre-Katrina.

If that were to happen, so many people will die of stupidity thinking they can stand up to Mother Nature.

bridge to nowhere...

that whole thing STILL gets me riled up.  did you know they get to keep those federal funds...even though they finally tanked the bridge idea altogether????

so... they can propose some idiotic scheme knowing it's going to NEVER get approved... but keep the funds.

so what if it's not sitting in a BOA account, it's sure not doing new orleans any good or the many MANY other NEEDED disasters any good.

no... that one still sounds a little fishy to me.

the mrs

This is what you posted, correct me if i am wrong;;
You want to talk about reality, I'm giving it to you. Age takes beauty. You want to disagree, be my guest. I'm not into chicks anyway;;
my god you could be a poster child for BOTOX advertisement, and vain women all over the world~!
some of us made 4 children got older and as you said lost our looks , but at least gained humility, but some did not do that , and got old and arrogant anyway.

Thank You

for posting the video.

On the surface, it doesn't look good. But there seems to be a few holes in both sides of this.

Even the fired commissioner says he "believes" that's why he was fired. Maybe that's exactly why he was fired, but when the guy who was fired says that's what he "believes", that still leaves questions as to the real truth.

What doesn't show here is that apparently this ex-brother-in-law had a restraining order placed against him for death threats made against his father in law (the governor's father). He also has multiple negative actions in his personnel file, inclusing drunk driving and tasering his stepson. What a guy.

If that's the case, they guy should have definitely been fired. BUt again, I doubt all the facts are out there. Yet.
