Palin: The 'right thing' for America will happen Nov. 4

[sabra]

Source: Boston Globe

Sarah Palin told a high-profile conservative Christian leader that she isn't discouraged by the Republican ticket's sagging poll numbers because she and running mate John McCain have been underdogs all their lives.

"I know at the end of the day, putting this in God's hands, the right thing for America will be done at the end of the day on Nov. 4," the GOP vice presidential nominee told James Dobson, head of Focus on the Family, who interviewed Palin by phone Monday in Colorado. The audio of the interview was posted online today.

"To me it motivates us. I'm not discouraged at all," she said.

During the interview, Dobson declared himself a "big fan" of Palin and said he was praying for her. "I've never seen such hatred," he said of what he called personal attacks on her and her family.

Asked what lessons she's learned, she replied, "You can't pick a fight with those who buy ink by the barrelful." She said she has faith that the message will get out to voters, without the media filtering it.

1. Yeah, God is a Republican

I keep forgetting. I'm sure he's keeping up with the election, and will take care of it for his party on the 4th.

Seriously, the fundy base of that party is batshit crazy insane.

[livelongandprosper]

2. An underdog with 7 doghouses

Yeah right.

[saigon68]

60. "I've never seen such hatred," Dobson

You POS ----you spew hatered toward every one.

It comes back

[Solly Mack]

3. Did they kick dogs together afterward to seal their friendship?

[murray hill farm]

4. And god said....

"u betcha" ..."and blessings to president Obama"

[Faygo Kid]

5. He's "never seen such hatred?" Has he looked in the mirror lately?

The Rethuglicans are owned by the likes of Dobson, Hannity, The Squealer, et al.

It's ugly.

[soupkitchen]

6. You see I prayed to God for a new wardrobe

and you see what that got me. And now I'm praying for a new house in Washington DC where I can lead the Senate and me a good teammate to the best dressed woman I know, Cindy McCain.

[LynneSin]

7. For once I actually agree with Sarah - the right thing will happen

OBAMA WILL WIN

[noiretextatique]

14. she is right about that

the right thing is going to happen. even her god knows she's a dangerous idiot.

[Raschel]

18. So she'll accept when Obama wins that it's the right thing? She said it herself. n/t

[primavera]

8. For once, I agree with her

The right thing will happen, and that will be her slinking back to Alaska to take up her proper career as a burger flipper.

[madmom]

9. yep god is answering the repugs prayers, and the answer is NO!

[progressivebydesign]

10. Dobson has "never seen such hatred", well.. if you've seen a McPalin rally, then you HAVE.

He whines like a little baby about the "hatred" toward Palin. I guess the things heard in line at in the McPalin rallies are love taps. Dobson is a dog-beater, WTF would anyone listen to that idiot.

[meow2u3]

11. The right thing will happen, all right

Obama will be elected President!

Edited for spelling

[onager]

12. Yes it will. You go into the Shitcan Of History, Sarah.

Your 15 minutes of fame are almost up.

And I can't believe the Dobson comment, considering his hateful screeds about gays, liberals, etc.

Before I moved to Egypt, I lived in Los Angeles and could usually catch Dobson's rants while driving to work in the morning.

I noticed a funny thing about him (apart from everything else). That man is flat-out OBSESSED with the idea of teen-agers having sex.

One of these days, I hope, his dark and secret little closet will bust right open and all sorts of slime is going to pour out.

[tinymontgomery]

13. They have short memories about

what went on during the Clinton years.

[ExPatLeftist]

15. god votes Obama. n/t

[ooglymoogly]

16. How apropos that she quote Dan Quale

the VP who could not spell potato.

[happygoluckytoyou]

17. UNDERDOG.....WHAT HAPPENED TO PITBULL WITH LIPSTICK ?

[happygoluckytoyou]

19. i agree...can;t believe the hateful people who talk about her cheating on 1st Dude with his partner

[happygoluckytoyou]

20. cant believe people talking about her spending gov't money to take daughters on field trips

[happygoluckytoyou]

21. dont understand people talking about backing the bridge to nowhere before changing sides

[happygoluckytoyou]

22. refuse to accept people bringing up no $ for sex education and pregnant daughter

[happygoluckytoyou]

23. won't take people discussing humiliating lack of understanding of foreign affairs and experience

[2QT2BSTR8]

24. Obama - Rock The Vote! McCain - Steal the Vote!

Yeah the right thing for her party and not the American people. Damn, she is suck a freaking lame nit-wit. Does she have no idea that she is a complete buffoon?

[baldguy]

25. Jesus was a liberal & Jehovah is a Democrat.

[RainDog]

26. Dobson has never seen such hatred?

He should attend one of those fundie-fire breathing hate fests they call churches.

Dobson is proof there is no god. If there was a god, she would have smote Dobson into a little piece of smoking carbon years ago.

[Bill McBlueState]

27. This is a democracy

Why would we give a shit what anyone's god thinks about the election? In America, the people decide. Gods can't vote.

[BlueStater]

28. You mean you'll lose and go back to Alaska and we'll never hear from you again?

In that case, I agree.

[KamaAina]

29. I didn't know God owned Diebold and ESS

how's the rest of His portfolio doing, I wonder?

[and-justice-for-all]

30. All the people I talked too today while making calls...

from the Obama office, seniors, are voting for Obama. So, yeah, they will be doing the right thing on Nov. 4th, those that have not already voted for Obama anyway.

The more she opens her mouth, the more people go an vote for Obama.

Dobson is a a fucking idiot and a pedophile.

[minnesota_liberal]

31. Imaginary 'attacks' on Palin and her family

Asking for information about rape kits, book banning and budget deficits as mayor?

Asking about per diems, travel expenses and "troopergate" as Governor?

Asking all the same questions any VP candidate would get?

Dobson is as full of it as Palin and her Palinites.

[jazzjunkysue]

32. Let's hope this isn't code for the 1 am tally machine rigging.

I'll never forget going to bed with one president elected and a new one in the morning.

[Laelth]

33. I certainly hope she's right. I hope the right thing does happen. I hope Obama is elected. n/t

34. Palin says election result rests in God's hands

Source: AP via Yahoo! News

DENVER - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin
describes herself as a "hard-core pro-lifer" and expresses confidence
that in spite of disheartening polls, "putting this in God's hands, that
the right thing for America will be done at the end of the day on Nov.
4."

In an interview with evangelical leader James Dobson that aired
Wednesday, Palin said she thought Republican presidential candidate
John McCain would implement the GOP platform if elected - "I do,
from the bottom of my heart" - but McCain doesn't support the
platform on three issues important to evangelicals: abortion, gay
marriage and embryonic stem cell research.

The platform calls for a constitutional ban on gay marriage, an issue
McCain says should be left to individual states. Similarly, the platform
seeks a constitutional ban on all abortions; again, McCain supports
allowing states to decide the question. McCain supports research
using embryonic stem cells, which the platform opposes.

Palin called it a "strong platform" and told Dobson, "They are there,
they are solid, we stand on them, and, again, I believe that is is the
right agenda for the country at this time."

---

Sarah Palin has got to be the first VP candidate ever to begin a run
for the presidency before the previous presidential election even
took place.

[Snarkoleptic]

35. Assuming she means Diebold, ES&S, et al, she might be right.

[John Q. Citizen]

36. Well isn't that special?

[awoke_in_2003]

50. "Well isn't that special?"

Yep, short bus special.

[Dj13Francis]

37. Well...

Let's hope that God tells all the Religulous nutjobs out there to FUCK OFF and we elect

O B A M A

And lets hope God also gives them all herpes and makes their asses itch.
and their stocks crash and their investments evaporate.
and a lot of other horrible things.
They deserve it.
Fuck THEM.
Bastards.

[elzenmahn]

39. For believers...

...Yep, this election is in God's hands.

And considering the trends in polling and a candidate in Obama who actually tries to LIVE what the Bible teaches...

Palin and her ilk might wake up to a different concept of God come the AM of November 5th.

Let's make this happen.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. And we all know...

That God is a Democrat!

[greyl]

40. Let's see if she's scapegoating Satan on November 5th.

I really don't think she'll proclaim Obama was endorsed by the real God.

[Kalifornia.Kid]

41. You betcha God's got your crazy ass in his sight.

Hold it...hold it...almost...gotcha.

[True_Blue]

42. So far it looks like God wants Obama.

Hallelujah!

[MrSlayer]

43. I'm pretty sure God would vote for Barack Obama.

Given the choice between the two and considering their policies. Of course given his druthers, God would have Kucinich as President.

[norepubsin08]

49. Amen Brother!!!

I brought Kucinich in to speak at my home church in March of 2007 and he did an outstanding job...I love the guy and all he stands for !!!!

[kayell]

63. Yeah, but God only endorses Obama because God is black.

[DainBramaged]

44. .................

[victoryparty]

45. In God's hands, absolutely...

"Christ has no body now but yours
No hands, no feet on earth but yours
Yours are the eyes through which He looks
compassion on this world
Christ has no body now on earth but yours."

-St. Teresa of Avila, 16th century Spanish contemplative and contemporary of St. John of the Cross


Get out the vote, get out the vote, get out the vote, get out the vote, get out the vote for OBAMA-BIDEN on Nov. 4. Use hands, feet, cars, trucks, buses and make sure the voters see (whenever possible) that the machines are recording the correct vote.

Get out the vote for Obama-Biden. The rest will take care of itself.

[Joe Bacon]

46. Seems The Big G is pissed off at BIBLE SPICE

The kooks at the Presidential Prayer Team are in full super duper prayer mode for BIBLE SPICE, claiming that they are talking to the Big G 24/7, but it seems that The Big G is just putting them on hold. Too bad.

I'll bet the farm that the Presidential Prayer Team disbands on Jan 20th and refuses to pray for President Obama!

[Dystopian]

47. She's on a mission from God....

Muthee said so....pray for money, etc. She got a nice wardrobe anyway....

FUCK HER AND HER BOGUS MISSION. sigh...I'm so sick of her. Physically and mentally drained.

peace~

[Flagrante]

48. When Obama wins it will be God's will

[Nambe]

51. Perhaps Sarah thinks voters are Gods. The Gods are sending a message to Sarah.

[defendandprotect]

52. St. Sarah isn't by any chance saying she and McCain are "god's" candidates . . . ???

[Divine Discontent]

53. shameful blasphemous half-wit she-b*sh!

to imply that God (if you're a believer like me) doesn't give us free will, and the election is only "up to God" is one of the most dumb comments this Caribou Barbie has dribbled out of her forked tongue this whole two months we the people have known of her.

the more she speaks the more she damages McSame's chances --- keep on blowing off about palling with terrorists, the "real" America, and other inanities, all while the scandals you've been a part of come crashing around you - troopergate, travelgate, pradagate and your inability to answer questions with a shred of believability in knowing what the H you're talking about!

Seriously, we cannot lose to these morons - America will not put this moose killer in the White House - sure there's 35% of people who love voting for people they feel superior to and sorry for, but the majority of us want the smartest person in the room running things!

54. God goes by many funny names, doncha know

Sequoia, Diebold, ES&S....

[bulloney]

55. When she proclaims she's a 'hard core pro lifer,' she's turning to her base.

Rachel Maddow said as much yesterday. She's not appealing to any other groups to put a dent in Obama's lead. The McCain campaign is only allowing her to speak in politically "safe" venues, like Findlay, Ohio on Wednesday.

[truthisfreedom]

61. Sarah Palin: Supports a rapist's right to chose the mother of his child.

Sarah Palin. Rapists rights supporter.

[muriel_volestrangler]

56. So that means she won't support any Republican challenges to voting, does it?

It should.

[Maeve]

57. Sure it will, sweetie--just not the right thing YOU think will happen! eom

[Homer Wells]

58. She then went on to say..

"..if God knows whats good for Him, he will let me win!!!!"

[customerserviceguy]

59. She knows this election is not about McPain getting the presidency

but about her elevation as the head of the conservative wing of the Republican Party. That's already been accomplished, because when McLame loses, nobody in the wingnut faction will blame her, only him. She knows there's zero difference between being VP or being Alaska governor for the next four years, she will still be the first person the fundies think of when they go looking for a nominee in four years.

Frankly, if McInsane loses, she doesn't have to push him out of the way for her own run, the Repukes will do that for her. Also, she knows she won't have to run against Hillary in four years if Obama wins, she probably figures he'll be a softer target by then. And if he's not, then she has time to wait until 2016.

[okieinpain]

62. hey, I'm going to get me a t-shirt that says. "God Picked Obama".

do you think that will fly in oklahoma.
