She sure stuck it to the media in her speech the other night.
After all she’s endured in life; with five children and looking hot, and with people making superficial complaints about her hair (because there’s little else they can complain about), and inventing stories about her having an affair (National Enquirer), her covering for her 17-year-old daughter with the amazing made-up allegation that Trig, her downs syndrome son is her daughter’s, troopergate, where a former brother-in-law was threatening family members and tazed his own son - you have to hand it to her.
She said in her speech among other classics, that there is one difference between a hockey mom and a pitbull; liptstick.
It’s not wonder the libs are in such a snit over McCain’s choice.
But notice how the conservative base is so energized and excited!
It’s no wonder the libs are in such a snit over Palin’s joining McCain on the republican ticket.
The dems don’t know what to do; that’s pretty obvious…
I even had someone come to my site saying that when she went into labor with Trig, that she was hoping for Trig to die. What a stupid thought, but leave it to a lib to think that when a woman goes into labor, she’s hoping for her child to die.
The facts, of course, bear witness to a courageous family-oriented woman with a good head on her shoulders; who doesn’t rely on nannies or the nanny state to raise her children; and who doesn’t miss a beat even after having her kids.
The idiot who came to my site made the stupid assumption that Palin WAITED to deliver Trig, hoping that he would die.
In fact, her water didn’t break, it was LEAKING.
She told the local media that she noticed her amniotic fluid was leaking right before she gave a speech in Texas last April. After her keynote address to the National Governors Association, and obtaining the consent of her doctor, Palin boarded an eight-hour flight to Anchorage. She never told the airline she was in labor. She and her husband drove 45 minutes to her hometown medical center; the baby was born seven hours later.
But facts never bother leftists. When i had my second son, my amniotic fluid leaked for a full WEEK before the doctor decided to induce labor. Does that mean I was hoping for my child to die? I don’t think so.
Your pretending that Sarah really wanted Trig’s to die is twisted moonbattery and wishful thinking on your part, I guess…as Obama would say, “punished with a baby”? I suppose she’d be a REAL woman in your eyes if she’d simply aborted that child? Obama is so extreme on this issue he’s voted against using life saving measures for a child who survived an abortion; Jill Stanek, in fact, held a down syndrome baby who’d been thrown away in a soiled laundry area while he died. You pretend to be concerned only when it fits your political purpose.
Women throughout history have had babies without hospitals; woman have even had babies in taxi cabs on the way to the hospital; there is a movement of women, in fact, who have their babies at home with midwives instead of doctors. And what about the ‘natural childbirth’ movement that resists anesthesia during childbirth?
The piss poor attempts at maligning this woman aren’t going to take away from her accomplishments:
Governor Sarah Palin made history on Dec. 4, 2006, when she took office. As the 11th governor of Alaska, she is the first woman to hold the office.
Since taking office, her top priorities have been resource development, education and workforce development, public health and safety, and transportation and infrastructure development.
Under her leadership, Alaska invested $5 billion in state savings, overhauled education funding, and implemented the Senior Benefits Program that provides support for low-income older Alaskans. She created Alaska’s Petroleum Systems Integrity Office to provide oversight and maintenance of oil and gas equipment, facilities and infrastructure, and the Climate Change Subcabinet to prepare a climate change strategy for Alaska.
During her first legislative session, Governor Palin’s administration passed two major pieces of legislation - an overhaul of the state’s ethics laws and a competitive process to construct a gas pipeline.
Governor Palin is chair of the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission, a multi-state government agency that promotes the conservation and efficient recovery of domestic oil and natural gas resources while protecting health, safety and the environment. She was recently named chair of the National Governors Association (NGA) Natural Resources Committee, which is charged with pursuing legislation to ensure state needs are considered as federal policy is formulated in the areas of agriculture, energy, environmental protection and natural resource management. Prior to being named to this position, she served as co-chair of this committee.
Prior to her election as governor, Palin served two terms on the Wasilla City Council and two terms as the mayor/manager of Wasilla. During her tenure, she reduced property tax levels while increasing services and made Wasilla a business friendly environment, drawing in new industry.
She has served as chair of the Alaska Conservation Commission, which regulates Alaska’s most valuable non-renewable resources: oil and gas. She was elected by her peers to serve as president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors. In this role, she worked with local, state and federal officials to promote solutions to the needs of Alaska’s communities.
Prior to taking office, Palin served on numerous boards and commissions throughout the state. She was active in her family’s pursuits - including serving as a sports team mom and school volunteer. She also runs marathons.
Palin is a lifetime member of the NRA and enjoys hunting, fishing, Alaska history, and all that Alaska’s great outdoors has to offer.
Libs are showing they hate women and disabled children - and the family unit with their tirades.
Palin kept her pregnancy secret for seven months, stunning even her staff with the announcement. She pointedly said at the time she would not miss work. “I had Piper on a Monday, and I was back to work on a Tuesday. I even brought her to work with me,” she said, referring to the birth of her daughter.
And, in fact, after Trig’s birth, she was at her desk within a few days, baby in tow and crib in her office.
Johnson said the governor waited to reveal her pregnancy to avoid exactly what is going on now — judgments from strangers saying, “How can you bring a baby into the world knowing how much energy it takes and still think you can run a state?”
“She’s heard that her whole life — the challenges of being a female and mother in the workforce,” Palin’s husband, Todd, said in the same interview with People a few days ago. “I remember the first time she ran for mayor one of her fellow council members told her you can’t run because you’ve got three negatives: Track, Bristol and Willow. Those are the three kids we had at the time. So when you tell her that kind of stuff, she just gets fired up.”
Leftists like the commenter at my site who are attacking Palin, are merely showing themselves to be sexist bigots.
Kristi Hamrick, a spokeswoman for the conservative Campaign for Family Values, dismissed as “stupid” any suggestions that Palin’s family choices or her daughter’s pregnancy would make her unsuitable to conservative voters. “This is an American family out there living out their values and doing the best job they can. Values voters understand that women who are mothers make family a priority but that many of us need to work and want to work,” she said.
And I suppose that part about Palin and her family is what they hate about her the most; although I’m sure her record of fighting the status quo has a part in that, too.
For all Obama’s speeches about ‘change’, he’s not about ‘change’ at all; look at Biden who’s got 30 years in the Senate (politics as usual), Obama’s connection to Rezko - who is now a convicted felon - Obama was touring his house with Rezko when Rezko was under investigation. The scariest part about these two is the part that Biden played in excusing the agents involved in the fascist murder campaign against the women and children at Waco and Ruby Ridge.

Typically the hospitals have the expectant mother come in and the father is shut out for hours and hours and hours. After our first child & I realized this I just came back when they were ready. Thus, in this case, those hours were really just time she would have spent laying in bed and her husband outside pacing the lobby. Some people (leftists) are just so mean ;(

Actually, Palin did have a nanny, probably still does. There is a YouTube video that shows her discussing her nanny, Christy (at minute 3:17). Anyone can have children and then pass them off for someone else to raise. That’s not what I would call a mother.

How many times are you going to leave the same comment? Leftists don’t even want to be ‘burdened’ by babies; that’s why they are disappointed that she didn’t abort Trig. But the wonderful things she says about being blessed with him as a special gift in her life indicates to me that she’s a pretty darned good mom.
By the way, Madonna and a number of high falutin’ leftists have nannies, what’s the problem? Leftists, in fact, prefer someone else to raise their children; this is 2008; pull yourself out of the victorian age.
After 40 years of telling wives and mothers to get out of the home (which Betty Friedan called “a comfortable concentration camp”), put their children in day care (tax-funded, of course) and join the workforce, you now say Sarah isn’t a good mother and should stay home with her children for doing precisely what Gloria Steinhem and the rest have been harping about for years!!! bwahahahaha!
Don’t you see how stupid, blind, partisan and hypocritical that is???
