Caribou Barbie and Insane McSame=White Trash House

I love high-personality children’s bookstores…..there’s lots of magic in them.

I hope Palin’s Hubris brings all the gods down on her ugly head.

“How to destroy a political woman’s credibility?” What credibility? It may be photoshopped….but it perfectly personifies what she is. She’s no Jacqueline Kennedy….by a long shot.

Tonight I visited Dante’s 9th Ring Of Hell via Palin’s Rove-packaged speech. First time Mrs. McPurseStrings was ever animate.

Ask not what you can do for a man; ask what he can do for you. You can quote me.

This is what she’s been working on all week?? I still don’t know who she is.

Just some of the LIES told at the RNC that the Associated Press followed up with and corrected: “PALIN: “I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending … and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress ‘thanks but no thanks’ for that Bridge to Nowhere.” THE FACTS: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million. In her two years as governor, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. While Palin notes she rejected plans to build a $398 million bridge from Ketchikan to an island with 50 residents and an airport, that opposition came only after the plan was ridiculed nationally as a “bridge to nowhere.” PALIN: “There is much to like and admire about our opponent. But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform — not even in the state senate.” THE FACTS: Compared to McCain and his two decades in the Senate, Obama does have a more meager record. But he has worked with Republicans to pass legislation that expanded efforts to intercept illegal shipments of weapons of mass destruction and to help destroy conventional weapons stockpiles. The legislation became law last year. To demean that accomplishment would be to also demean the work of Republican Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, a respected foreign policy voice in the Senate. In Illinois, he was the leader on two big, contentious measures in Illinois: studying racial profiling by police and requiring recordings of interrogations in potential death penalty cases. He also successfully co-sponsored major ethics reform legislation. PALIN: “The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes, raise payroll taxes, raise investment income taxes, raise the death tax, raise business taxes, and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars.” THE FACTS: The Tax Policy Center, a think tank run jointly by the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, concluded that Obama’s plan would increase after-tax income for middle-income taxpayers by about 5 percent by 2012, or nearly $2,200 annually. McCain’s plan, which cuts taxes across all income levels, would raise after tax-income for middle-income taxpayers by 3 percent, the center concluded. Obama would provide $80 billion in tax breaks, mainly for poor workers and the elderly, including tripling the Earned Income Tax Credit for minimum-wage workers and higher credits for larger families. He also would raise income taxes, capital gains and dividend taxes on the wealthiest. He would raise payroll taxes on taxpayers with incomes above $250,000, and he would raise corporate taxes. Small businesses that make more than $250,000 a year would see taxes rise. MCCAIN: “She’s been governor of our largest state, in charge of 20 percent of America’s energy supply … She’s responsible for 20 percent of the nation’s energy supply. I’m entertained by the comparison and I hope we can keep making that comparison that running a political campaign is somehow comparable to being the executive of the largest state in America,” he said in an interview with ABC News’ Charles Gibson. THE FACTS: McCain’s phrasing exaggerates both claims. Palin is governor of a state that ranks second nationally in crude oil production, but she’s no more “responsible” for that resource than President Bush was when he was governor of Texas, another oil-producing state. In fact, her primary power is the ability to tax oil, which she did in concert with the Alaska Legislature. And where Alaska is the largest state in America, McCain could as easily have called it the 47th largest state — by population. MCCAIN: “She’s the commander of the Alaska National Guard. … She has been in charge, and she has had national security as one of her primary responsibilities,” he said on ABC. THE FACTS: While governors are in charge of their state guard units, that authority ends whenever those units are called to actual military service. When guard units are deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, for example, they assume those duties under “federal status,” which means they report to the Defense Department, not their governors. Alaska’s national guard units have a total of about 4,200 personnel, among the smallest of state guard organizations. FORMER ARKANSAS GOV. MIKE HUCKABEE: Palin “got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for president of the United States.” THE FACTS: A whopper. Palin got 616 votes in the 1996 mayor’s election, and got 909 in her 1999 re-election race, for a total of 1,525. Biden dropped out of the race after the Iowa caucuses, but he still got 76,165 votes in 23 states and the District of Columbia where he was on the ballot during the 2008 presidential primaries. FORMER MASSACHUSETTS GOV. MITT ROMNEY: “We need change, all right — change from a liberal Washington to a conservative Washington! We have a prescription for every American who wants change in Washington — throw out the big-government liberals, and elect John McCain and Sarah Palin.” THE FACTS: A Back-to-the-Future moment. George W. Bush, a conservative Republican, has been president for nearly eight years. And until last year, Republicans controlled Congress. Only since January 2007 have Democrats have been in charge of the House and Senate.” ___ Associated Press Writer Jim Drinkard in Washington contributed to this report.

Palin’s attack dog speech shows only that she is a Rove-solider all the way: “She attacked Obama’s his work as a community organizer, senator, and author. She misrepresented his record and simply lied about her own, claiming to oppose earmarks that she supported, and dissembling on her $1.5 billion tax hike and record of raising sales taxes by 25 percent in Wasilla. “In response to Palin’s extreme positions and dishonest claims, Time’s Joe Klein urged reporters to face facts: “I hope my colleagues stand strong in this case: it is important for the public to know that Palin raised taxes as governor, supported the Bridge to Nowhere before she opposed it, pursued pork-barrel projects as mayor, tried to ban books at the local library and thinks the war in Iraq is “a task from God.”

Palin was almost recalled as Mayor. They were 40 votes short of getting it on the ballot. Up in Alaska they call her “Hack and Sack” —-she’s a hack who sacks anyone who disagrees. “Seems that Palin honed this skill back as Mayor of Wasilla, where she was nearly recalled, for firing the Police Chief and Library Director for not supporting her in her 1996 race for Mayor. “Hack n’ Sack Sarah didn’t even try to hide it. She didn’t say the Police Chief and Library Director were doing a bad job. No, she fired them for “not fully supporting her efforts to govern” (i.e., not endorsing her for Mayor). After eight years of Bush cronyism and incompetence Palin’s record as Mayor and Governor are identical in mindset. That McCain chose Palin, a nearly-recalled, under-investigation incompetent to be one heartbeat away from the Presidency shows he is unfit, and that his ‘judgment’ will be disasterous all around. We don’t need more of that. He didn’t put the US First. He put Political PR first. Palin as a VP nominee insults the intelligence of every American and embarrasses us in the world.

From Talking Points Memo—-Palin REFUSES to answer questions of an INDEPENDANT INVESTIGATOR and FILED CHARGES AGAINST HERSELF to bring it before her APPOINTEES. She is a liar and fraud and a flip-flopper who was before the bridge to nowhere before she was against it. “It didn’t take long. We’ve already brought you news of the official investigation into Gov. Palin’s firing of Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan. Steve Branchflower, the lead investigator, began trying to arrange a deposition of the governor days before her veep selection. And despite claiming executive privilege to shield requested emails, up until that point Palin had promised full cooperation with the probe. Now, however, she is refusing to submit to questioning by Branchflower unless he and the legislative committee that appointed him agree to relinquish control of the investigation and turn it over to a state review board made up of three Palin appointees. Yesterday, Palin took the unusual step of having her lawyer, Thomas van Flein, file an ethics complaint against her with the state’s Attorney General. This, she hopes, will lead the AG to give the investigation to the aforementioned state personnel board. Unless that happens, and Branchflower agrees to close down his investigation, she will refuse to testify.” Jackie S

Palin lied about her travel to foreign countries. She obtained a US Passport for the first time in 2007. And she told the press and the American people that she’s been to three countries: Kuwait, Germany and Ireland. But Ireland was a a short refueling stopover, which means her extensive Irish diplomacy might amount to buying a beer mug in the Shannon airport. Why does this matter? Because McCain is 72, has had 4 bouts of cancer, just picked Lyin’ Palin to replace him as president if he dies or becomes incapacitated. And she lied to beef up non-existent international expertise. She’s a liar. We know that very well in Alaska where ever ACR Alaska Conservative Republicans have a No More PA{L}IN Campaign….complete with basball caps, coffee mugs, bumber stickers saying NO MORE PAIN with the ‘L” lifted above so her name reads “PAIN”.
