"Sarah" From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:The Hebrew word sarah indicates a woman of high rank, and is sometimes translated as "princess" or goddess, or "high holy one". They said it, NOT me!! ("high rank".... I hope so)
I'd say it's more like "approachable", "every (smart) woman" or "quite a candidate!"
What was your favorite line in her speech? Got one? What's your favorite thing about Sarah?
43 comments:
“I might add that in small towns, we don’t quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren’t listening,”
The whole speech was priceless!

I think my favorite line was the quip about how Harry Reid's saying "I can't stand John McCain" is the best proof we've chosen the right man.
But just as good was: "The American Presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery."
I don't know how to say it well, but I'd add to the list something about how Sarah Palin converts liberal animosity into an energy source to power her own agenda. Something like that.
ouch
If anything comes out of tonight, it will be a comfortable sense that as long as the Democratic Party won't or can't run serious candidates (it is a logical impossibility for a leftist to be intelligent) then Republicans don't have to take them seriously.
I feel really, really bad for Joe Biden. He really did think hairplugs would be enough.
That was the best damned speech I've heard in a LOOOOONG time! Well done Sarah Palin! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Leave it to Beamish!
"I feel really, really bad for Joe Biden. He really did think hairplugs would be enough."

Something I noted as soon as that gold-plated void was selected: Those hair plugs were taken from Hillary's rump and Waxman's nostrils, and now they thrive in the scalp of a pompous ass!

Normally I have a very short attention span but my mind did not wander for one second during Govenor Palin's speech. She is indeed mesmerizing and can tell it like it is.
I can't quote the exact line she used but I did enjoy the comment about moving the Greek columns at the DNC back to the movie set.
I just loved the way she said (of the big, hugely expensive, completely unnecessary, luxury jet her predecessors bought with taxpayer's money) "I put it on ebay."
Priceless!
I love this woman.

Quote of the Day
"She was put on this earth to do two things: kill caribou and kick butt. She's all out of caribou."
Ldotter Note:
The site is wall-to-wall Palin this morning. All things considered, it's justified. We've waited a long, long time for this. Enjoy. There will be other news soon.

And Sarah also believes that even people on the terrorist watch list should be allowed to purchase weapons.
I also hope they go into her pastor's sermon concerning terrorism against Jews as punishment for not converting to Christianity (Protestant ONLY, please). A delightful side of hard core fundamentalists that should get more airplay.
Have you ever noticed how liberals can never express GLADNESS or GRATITUDE? Liberalism is based always on and endless series of complaints, attacks, and derogation.
Before they could HOPE to institute CHANGE, they first must do everything in their power to create an atmosphere of DOUBT, DISSATISFACTION and DESPONDENCY.
It is this base ingratitude for the Gift of Life and the opportunities being alive as a free person accords that defines the liberal.
Sarah Palin is the POLAR OPPOSITE of a LIBERAL. I'm sure that's why those of us who CAN love fell in love with her last night.
The scoffers, the nags and the naysayers tell us so much more about THEMSELVES than they ever do about the objects of their bilious observations.
The Divine Sarah of Today WILL triumph over the Nattering Nabobs of Negativism.

The blogs are just full of new enthusiasm this morning. I think we have found our newest Super Star.
... and Todd is a champion snow machine racer.
"John McCain's presidential campaign is threatening a lawsuit against the National Enquirer over a print edition story the tabloid ran today alleging that Gov. Sarah Palin has had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner."
--------------------
This should be good. I think the Enquirer has another blood trail. Glad they aren't holding back on Caribou Barbie they way they did on Edwards. Aren't you all?
My favorite was when she mentioned no being dependent on Venezuelan oil!
Z, I'm stealing part of your post!
(tiptoeing off quietly...)
I like the fact that black teen pregnancies are a "crisis" and white teen pregnancies are a "blessed event."
It seems that every blog is about our new super star this moring. We all can be very proud of her and John McCain today.
Substantively, I strongly disagreed with her tongue-in-cheek dismissal of Obama for wanting to stand by due process for those who deserve to have their rights read to them in a way consistent with democracy.
She portrayed herself as being a believer in liberty -- distrustful of government, and then seemed to argue that some accused didn't deserve the benefit of due process that liberty promises and argued that an empowered government could judge who was evil and who was innocent without regard for basic human rights.
In other words she's either a hypocrite or, more likely, a ditz
We got a real winner in this gal
And the Libs know it.
Why, DUCKY! You're leaving SO many duck droppings against Mrs. Palin that I have to ask...I just HAVE to, because I'm so flattered! here's why...
I'd imagine Daily KOS and Huffieton Post have plants on big, well read blogs, (trolls), who go around and insult the Conservatives and their commenters; to really stir the waters, instilling fear when they see the lefty rumors, etc.
My blog is VERY VERY small potatoes; you know that. SO, is it like you're a very LOW plant who doesn't rate the big successful, very well read blogs or should I and my commenter buddies be flattered that KOS and Huffie are THIS afraid of even US?!!
I like that! Tell me.
By the way....re: John Edwards? You lefties were the ones defending him (and Clinton), remember? "it's nobody's business.." etc. SO......wait! Why Palin? He had rumors DURING his PRES aspirations period!
Please supply a sermon from her pastor saying what you allege...I KNOW NO CHRISTIAN who has EVER heard anything close to what you're suggesting in a church. And, were I the Left, I'd go easy on SERMONS in CHURCHES, ifyougetmydriftandithinkyoudo
And, I'm with her on due process; i'd err on AMERICA'S SAFETY, not the suspected terrorist's...so I'm a "ditz", too. (thank God)
Re: Teen pregnancy; EVERY teen pregnancy is a "crisis", Ducky. When the father denies paternity and disappears when accused, that is a bigger crisis. Babies aren't loaves of bread to get tossed around ...they're children who deserve the chance to at least have parents who are married in an attempt to found a family. It's how you HANDLE problems, Ducky...not the Problems, which define anyone. Come back soon..as I said, I'm kind of flattered!
Thanks, all, for these fantastic comments....Isn't she a REAL star?
A breath of FRESH AIR..HALLELUJIAH!
I know this is short-lived glee because the Left is going to SKEWER her and leave unwarranted and unproven rumors everywhere and that does get me down; I can't imagine a journalist doing that, knowing they're going against everything America stands for and not caring.

"John McCain's presidential campaign is threatening a lawsuit against the National Enquirer over a print edition story the tabloid ran today alleging that Gov. Sarah Palin has had an extramarital affair with her husband's business partner."
They must be taking a page from Obama and those Ayers ads.
You know being in bed with communists is much better than cheating on your husband.

Sarah the tax cutter:
"Republicans in Congress this June united to defeat a proposed windfall tax on oil companies, deriding it as a bad idea that would discourage investment in U.S. oil exploration.
Things worked out far differently in the GOP stronghold of Alaska, a state whose economic fate is closely tied to the oil industry.
Over the opposition of oil companies, Republican Gov. Sarah Palin and Alaska's Legislature last year approved a major increase in taxes on the oil industry — a step that has generated stunning new wealth for the state as oil prices soared."
But I thought repubs opposed the windfall profits idea. I do, it's pretty short sighted.
And even with that wingfall there is a good piece up on Sarah's budget. She cut the spending for a home for single pregnant mothers which provided housing and training during the babies first year and a half. Well I guess it serves them right. If you are going to fornicate you better make sure mom has connections so that things will be fine for young Juno Palin and baby Preggers.
Tax cutter? She even increased the sales tax when she was mayor. You suckers will believe anything.
Did you all know Alaska is one of the only states where the natural resources belong to the PEOPLE of the state, not the gov't, so to speak. She gave $1500 to each Alaskan to help pay for gas..but it's theirs, they OWN it.
Thanks.
elbro...excellent; well and importantly said ifyouseewhatimeanandithinkyoudo!
"Republicans in Congress this June united to defeat a proposed windfall tax on oil companies, deriding it as a bad idea that would discourage investment in U.S. oil exploration.
With all that agreement among party members Duhkkky you'd think everyone was monolithic...you know
Barrack voted against the war and Biden did
doh
Beamish,
*Sarah Palin gives "tough" lessons to Chuck Norris.
*Sarah Palin is the reason Alaska is so big.
*Sarah Palin destroyed the land bridge between Alaska and Russia to keep the commies out.
*Sarah Palin drills for oil with her right pinky.
kevin, I thought the reason NY is so big is because of Hillary?
Oh. You meant something ELSE, don't you. (sorry, ladies, I could NOT resist!)
GREAT list, Kev...really good! Thanks.
Off Topic, I had to say this!
Did anybody know FLIES are REALLY SMART?
I never have flies in the house and now I have two big flies right here at my window. I keep swatting at them and they keep HIDING in a spot where I can't get at them.
I'm going to ask Mr. Z to trap them so they can be on Letterman..ya think!? LOL!
I saw a flea circus once
I think someone is taking comments from a church out of context, is what I am sure of, for I grew up in Assembly of God churches, which is what Mrs. Palin attends.
These people are very , very pro Israel.z
Some people need to get a grip.
WVDOTTR
WV..I thought so.
Anyway...the very idea that the Left can complain about religion after what J Wright and Obama put us through!? amazing.
Elbro.....I've heard of those, too. Did they do TRICKS? I've got JUMBO FLEAS here doing disappearing tricks!!
"She gave $1500 to each Alaskan to help pay for gas..but it's theirs, they OWN it."
So you support Hugo Chavez's nationalization of oil resources? FTW
Ducky..it's THEIRS, get it? I don't know if it's a good idea or not for Alaska to be set up like that, but it beats Chavez....
It's not HIS to take from THEM and KEEP IT.
He's not keeping it. He's siphoning it off to pay for revolutions in Nicaragua, Bolivia, the FARC in Columbia, Ecuador, Argentina, re-arming Cuba, and now Paraguay...
ps- It's better that the oil wealth get distributed back to the people then left in the hands of do-gooders in DC.
As it is, Alaska's "permanent fund" is attracting Democrats into politics... for whoever gets elected first gets to tap the $40B currently held in "trust" (*giggles*)...
If Alaska had a huge deficit, the democrats would leave it alone...
Elbro.....I've heard of those, too. Did they do TRICKS? I've got JUMBO FLEAS here doing disappearing tricks!!
Oh yeah...
the trapeze act was fantastic but alas
one fell
not pretty
Back in the 1980's . the residents of Alaska used to get a rebate every year at tax time because of the pipeline.
I know this from neighbors who came from Alaska.
Yep. There is still a lot of opportunity up there.
They also used to have contract marriages, don't know if they still do or not.
It is like a whole other world there.

Seems Sarah has scared the Obama. And as usual , he is hiding behind skirts.
He is going to send out yet more females to take her down, including the awesome Mrs. Clinton.
PSSSST..has anyone told Obama Sarah is to be vice president?
WVDOTTR
Here's my favorite quote from her speech, Z.
“In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change,”
Ducky, if you keep saying Sarah Palin is just like Hugo Chavez, you're going to fool your imbecilic brethren among the left into voting for her.
But, it's splendid comedy to laugh at.
Keep it up, dimwit.
