Looking under rocks is NOT the same as throwing rocks

[SoCalDem]

There have been many who insist that "we" should stop picking on poor little Sarah, and especially her family.

She is the least vetted candidate EVER, and the people who are pushing hard for her candidacy are very scary people. Some of these people have connections going back decades, and have been connected to/involved in all kinds of nasty goings on in Central America, South America, as well as here in the US. They are well funded, well connected politically, and they are religious zealots. The above link goes to an odd sounding website, but it has one of the most diligently compiled indexes of these folks, complete with bios and links to other ventures.

Some of these people were the ones who met while our convention was going and and in the process, stole Mccain's campaign, right out from under his nose. He was never the one who was supposed to win, but win he did. There was NO way he was gong to be able to choose his own running mate. See THESE people know he's not all that healthy, or vigorous, and they just don't like the guy.

They knew he would not be able to win with any of the choices he planned to ponder, so Fertilla the Huntress was shoved down his throat, in exchange for a possible win. McCain is as transparent as a piece of glass, and he wants this more than anything in the world. He made a deal with the devil.

Last week Charlie Black even commented soon after she was "chosen", that she would "learn at the feet of the master"...and I don;t think he meant McCain..Part of that comment also included a hint that Mccain might not even live for ONE term..Does Charlie know something we don't know, and just let something slip out?. Their plan, folks is for Little Miss Muffett to sit on the spider and squash him like a bug, because this "gal" is not afraid of much..and certainly not a little spider like McCain.

The non-vetting was deliberate, because the timing was also deliberate. Poor John, he probably thought that he would be able to choose for himself. He must be dismayed to see that his hero-pow story is not as interesting now. People have moved on to babies, teenagers , and a cutie-pie governor who uses her sexiness to get her way, and then screams "sexism" when anyone asks her a question more complicated than "What time is it?"..

This is the same tactic the republicans use with their judges.. You know the ones..They are up for supreme court appointment, yet they seem to have NEVER actually written anything or even done much "judging". Every question is answered ambiguously or not at all or with a "I don't recall, I can't remember. They have gotten away with it for so long, they know it works.


Sarah IS her family, and her family IS Sarah. She uses them as props, to show what a great Mom she is. What little we know of a woman we did not know even a little bit last week, shows how calculating she is. Her speech tonight bragged about her connection to schools, but have her children even attended regularly or graduated? They seem to be bounced from school to school or not schooled much at all. Her lovely family seems to be missing a Dad , a lot of the time what with all his "interests". She seems to be out of the home a lot too. No one is raising these children.

The baby-issue aside, there is a LOT we do not know about this woman, and her finances and her "executive experiences" she proudly flaunts.

There is a concerted effort to stave off the "mean ole media" because they are picking on her, and we don't have much time.

If you are looking for night crawlers , you won't find them on the sidewalk ..in the sun.. You have to dig some dirt, and turn over some rocks.

Sarah was not drafted..no one handcuffed her, threw a bag over her head and abducted her. There have been websites pushing her for vice president , that go back to the summer of '07, maybe even before that. She went willingly, and apparently she did not even ask those precious children she claims to love so much..

Sarah is a calculating, conniving, ruthless politician who plans to be president. She has people backing her..people with money, sneaky people with no morals.

I will turn over every rock I can, and I will email anyone I can and tell them which rock I looked under. It may go nowhere, but I will know that I tried.

1. You GO, GIRL!!!

Yup, yup! :woohoo::loveya::woohoo:

2. Great analysis -- love the looking under rocks theme

I would greatly appreciate if you could please email me any links to credible information that you find.

I was just corresponding with a friend in my county and we are planning to get other like-minded people together and somehow educate the community about who she really is and who is really backing her.

I have tried to educate people before about the CNP, and it's a really hard thing to do, even with all the CNP and religious right leaders living in our area (northern VA).

An interesting read is "America's Providential History" by Mark Beliles & Stephen McDowell. This is the book used by many religious right parents who homeschool their children. I actually bought a copy and have read/skimmed portions. It's the Christian Reconstructionist view of American history. Scary.

I know a fair amount about the religious right -- if you're looking for any specific info, please let me know.

Other good web sites are talk2action.org and publiceye.org

3. Exposing who her backers are and what their possible agenda might be, OK...

...getting into an argument about whether or not she's a good mother or a true Christian, not so much.

As much as possible, this ought to about policy and whether or not the Republican policies of the last 8 years have worked. Getting into another politics-of-resentment/paranoia/"values"/"culture war" election would be a mistake.

6. Losing strategy

Start talking about policies, record, or her backers and you will lose about 75 percent of the fatally dumbed-down electorate within five seconds.

These are people who live and die with Jerry Springer, American Idol, trash tabloids, US magazine, you name it. The GOP would love nothing more than to have us talk about wonkish policies and records and complicated behind the scenes connections. When we do, we lose every time.

Talk about blow jobs, haircuts, family quarrels and you've got an audience that's ready to rock.

7. That kind of contempt for "75 percent of the fatally dumbed-down electorate"...

...isn't very helpful and plays right into the Republicans' hands. It gives them the ammunition they need to twist things and paint Democrats as elitists who look down on ordinary people.

The fact is, till this nonsense with Palin exploded, it WAS a largely policy and vision based election and Obama was winning. Suddenly, the introduction of Palin and the focus on things like her pregnant daughter rather than, say, her secessessionist leanings or use of public power to pursue private vendettas threaten to turn this into just the kind of election the Republicans thrive in. No one rolls in the mud better than they do, as the last two elections ought to have proven to anyone paying attention. If they get to set the type of election this will be yet again with their tabloid TV distractions, we'll be faced with a 50/50 wildcard rather than the win-in-a-walk we should be.

9. Be my guest

Go all wonkish on them -- then, we can have a repeat of Michael Dukakis, Al (he's so boring) Gore, and John Kerry.

Obama was "winning" because he wasn't running against anyone yet and, in fact, the main criticism against him (from the pundits) was that he hadn't been wonkish enough, but had talked in broad strokes about hope and change without any specifics.

I'll stand by my assessment of a large segment of the American people as being fatally dumbed down. If you don't think so, you need to get out more.

4. No, her and her family are different people.

I haven't seen anyone suggesting that there's anything wrong with attacking Sarah Palin.

Trying to represent people (including Obama) criticising attacking her family as being opposed to attacking her herself is disingenuous at best.

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. She plans to be president. I truly believe that.

11. all she needs is for that creepy old man who invited her to the party, to go away

and she's patient..She waited until just the right moment to take over from Murkowski..She's quite clever...and not a lightweight...

10. She wants all of the diggers to leave their shovels in the garage.

Recommended!

12. Let those who who insist that "we" should stop picking on

poor little Sarah say what they will. That woman scares the bejesus out of me. I am honestly terrified at what she would do to our country. The woman is certifiably bat shit crazy. Every rock should be overturned and every dark corner of her life should be ablaze w/light.


Btw, I have been enjoying the hell out of your posts, SoCal!

[SoCalDem]

13. Awww. (blush)

Thanks :)

Sarah has made it infintely more interesting, but also scary, knowing the way our elections have gone lately :scared:

14. Can no longer rec, but I sure can kick.

Way too much absolutist thibking sometimes on DU. We can talk about more than one threat to the country at the same time.
We can talk about the economy and the occupation AND we can talk about the dirt of GOP-selected crazies who want to bring us more of it.
