Sarah Palin: 'We're All Arizonans Now'

PHOENIX — As calls spread for an economic boycott of Arizona, the state's governor enlisted the help of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Saturday to defend a new law cracking down on illegal immigration.

Jan Brewer and Palin blamed President Barack Obama for the state law, saying the measure is Arizona's attempt to enforce immigration laws because the federal government won't do it.

"It's time for Americans across this great country to stand up and say, 'We're all Arizonans now,'" Palin said. "And in clear unison we say, 'Mr. President: Do your job. Secure our border.'"

The former Alaska governor appeared with Brewer at a brief news conference on Saturday. The event launched a website that Brewer said was an effort to educate America about border security and discourage an economic boycott of the state.

The site, funded by Brewer's re-election campaign, shows pictures of Brewer and Palin and invites visitors to sign a petition opposing boycotts. It includes a list of politicians and organizations calling for the boycotts and asks visitors to call or e-mail to "let them know that you support Arizona."

"Our purpose today is to help the rest of the nation understand the crisis which confronts our state," Brewer said, citing the presence of human and drug smugglers.

1. Do the pugs really not understand how Toxic Palin is to most people in this country.
Just having her say that will have more people boycotting because she was there.. not because they don't believe we need some kind of immigration reform.

2. No I am not an Arizonan
There's several rather unpleasant things I'd rather do to myself than call myself an Arizonan.

3. Why doesn't Obama say "Show me the money".
He should come out and say in his jocular way, "You want me to cut the deficit and you want me to seal the border. I really can't do both. They didn't give me the keys to the vault so if you want the border sealed, you have to show me the money".

4. Yes, Jan, we understand that there are human and drug smugglers.
Why do you think that is?
Because people are providing jobs to the humans, and because people want to take the drugs.
Maybe if we addressed those issues, human and drug smuggling wouldn't be issues.
Then you wouldn't have to bother with your immoral "papers please" law.
But that wouldn't properly intimidate your Hispanic population, now would it Jan?

7. I keep asking myself "How is that possible?
You're RIGHT.

She just keeps raising the bar.

HOW???

Can you even imagine what it would be like if someone could incrementally move in a POSITIVE direction, the "AntiPalin" if you will, as she has into the negative? She has nothing but sarcasm, hollow criticiscm, and more sarcasm. As AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson once sang, "I sometimes wonder where you park your broom, baby."

12. OK, now you're gonna make me quote "The Simpsons"...


One of the greatest episodes SLAMMED the "Rainier Wolfcastle" (Arnold Shwarzenegger) character for his P.O.S. movie about the "magic ticket" (Arnie's "Last Action Hero," the first film in his franchise that proved everything he touched did NOT turn to gold).

Wolfcastle was asked "How do you SLEEP at night" and responded "On a big stack of cash, next to a couple of blondes."

Let's not pretend that Palin cares about ANYTHING other than the $12 million (and counting) she raked in when she stepped away from her oath of office into the far more lucrative world of book deals and speaking engagements.

:rofl:

6. Hell no, I'm not an Arizonan! And I find it funny that these freaks care about this so much NOW
Where have they been for the last 10-20 years? This has been happening for a long time.

8. Perhaps you should propose a Final Solution for dealing with those pesky Hispanics, Sarah.
That would show the rest of the country that you're READY for national office!

11. I think she's playing a not-too-transparent game of "connect the dots" with her "base"
One of the pages from her playbook...one which makes her singularly corrupt, evil and rotten to the fucking core...is that she understands how Pavolov trained those dogs.

She knows what to say, in order to achieve the desired end result, without actually "saying it."

I think we both understand her "Final Solution for dealing with those pesky Hispanics."

And I am convinced she knows how to articulate it to the "base," without actually spelling it out. In fact, I'm convinced she's already doing it.

Bear in mind that in all references to the AntiChrist, there is no reference to gender.

It could be a man.

It could be a woman.

Just sayin'...



The Antichrist, according to Christianity, is one who fulfills Biblical prophecies concerning an adversary of Christ while resembling him in a deceptive manner. The antichrist will seemingly provide for the needs of the people but deny the ultimate salvation.

9. Explain it to us, Sarah, like you are 3 years old...I mean, like we are 3 years old.
' She wants to "help the rest of the nation understand." '

There's a joke in there somewhere.

13. Yep...that's why I was sure to include it in the subject line.
I can think of a few things Palin can help me with, and none of them involve "understanding."
