“Palin will not lure Hillary voters, but Dobson’s Evangelicals will start the cash flowing into McCain campaign and solidify a faltering base.” By mitzi morris on 08/31/2008 2:50 pm Mitzi, according to reports I’ve heard he gained $4 million the next day. I’m betting the biggest share was from big oil rather than evangelicals, but I’m sure the evangelicals did their part. She has no official voting records that apply to anything other than Alaska and Alaska doesn’t live by the same rules that we do. Everything is paid for for them by the oil companies. They own Palin. That’s why she was chosen, other than the fact that she has a vagina and the ignorant reps thought that was all it took. Sadly, the PUMAs are trying to prove them right that all it takes to get a woman’s vote is a vagina on the ticket.

Frannie Em, you are so funny! I can’t believe all of the writers we have in Congress! But especially the Speaker of the House with so many crisis to be working on, supposedly with the job and influence to try to get enough votes together to pass something …anything (other than naming a street after an athlete) and she is writing a book, collecting her Speaker salary. God save us from our leaders. How are you, Frannie? and your son?

Eleanor, I have a cousin with down syndrome. The most loving human being anyone could ever come across. They are a blessing to every family they are born into. Sure there is heartache, health problems- but the love is beyond anything you could imagine. I didn’t see that post you paraphrased and I can only say to that person, they do not have any understanding of the value of a person’s life - it isn’t at all about accomplishing “material” “worldly” acclaim and success. Oh no. Too bad, that blogger is missing so much beauty in others and the world with value judgments as that.

If these PUMAs were any more transparent they wouldn’t exist. Oh for a strong breeze to blow them away like the burst of gas that they are.

Why not …you’ve gone for any man!

I can not belive this. John McCain selected Sarah Palin not because she is a woman, but because she is a brilliant reformer with a record, unlike obama. She has actually done what she has promised, she does not play politics, unlike Obama. To say she was picked because she’s a female, is ignorant. If ANY women was selected, no matter who, you would attempt to make that comment. She is a great pick.

I watched Mrs. Palin speak several times just to see who she was. I DON’T LIKE HER! Not totally sure why, but she seems to have a confidence about herself that is based on an idealistic, self-righteous misconception about life, self, duty. AWKKK! Don’t think Ms. Palin is real and it scares me half to death to think that it could be possible for her to become president. The lady strikes me as a real ‘ball buster.” Sorry, Ms. Palin, but I don like U. Next!

Hi Frannie Em, Thank you for your support. As for an update - we submitted our brief to the circuit court for an appeal. It was very good and we responded to the defenses blustering response with a very strong reply. They have presented no evidence and keep changing their story which previous cases have been upheld that that is a sign of lying “pretext” is the legal word they use. However, the wheels of justice turn very slowly. We have no oral argument date set yet and I am told other cases pending before this level are pending for years. That is probably why my employere decided to risk forcing me out - didn’t want me being alive and breathing on their property. What really gets to me however is how they give associates benefits materials stating a years worht of severance pay (reduced as time goes on of course) but when it comes to being laid off they whip out this surprise condition to any severance pay - a lengthy release you must first sign or else get $0. Well, since my husband and kids support me in not signing (hope we are doing the right thing) I am losing a lot of severance pay in order to keep my lawsuit alive. My employer also came up with an excuse to not pay me for my remaining vacation days. When I asked for their policy supporting their first heard reason why I cannot be compensated for my untaken vacation - they just retoted “this decision is confirmed” with no supporting document. My only recourse for the severance and the other pay is to start another lawsuit. There are limits to what I can do so they will get away with their abuse of their human resources. They so often say about their human assets/resources “cost walks in on 2 feet”.

I’d like to hear from any of you former Hillary supporters which issues you think Senator Clinton and this Palin agree on.

I’m THRILLED that McCain chose Sarah Palin. Why be aghast? How can you be shocked that a man who votes against equality for women in the workplace chose a young, attractive, conservative woman he admittedly has met once? She wasn’t chosen because of her credentials. She was chosen because she’s ultra-conservative, and she has ovaries.
