Palin Hits Obama: “Not the Politics of Change”

[merwin]

Source: FOX News

Sarah Palin responded to comments Barack Obama made on Wednesday when he told his supporters to try and persuade their friends to vote for him, “I want you to argue with them and get in their face” pressing that his backers “are the ones that can make my case.”

Palin hit Obama and said that is not the politics of change, “He told them to get in your face and you know that doesn’t sound like the politics of hope or the politics of change to me,” Palin said. “What that sounds like is the worst of politics and earlier today when some protestors in another rally they tried to do exactly that. John McCain said and I quote, ‘The one thing that Americans want us to do is stop yelling at each other’ and now that is leadership.”

The GOP ticket held their second rally of the day at the Resch Center Arena here. Over 10,000 supporters waited for a few awkward minutes at the beginning of the rally when the lights went out before the duo emerged. Palin gave the crowd a Wisconsin welcome, “It’s so nice to be in a state where people appreciate good hockey and good huntin’ and good fishin’ and great football.”

Palin went after the Democratic nominee again and accused him of siding with the energy special interests while boasting about her own experience with energy independence:

“Our opponent says he wants to help Americans who are struggling with high-energy costs. But time and time again, he’s sided with special interests and come out against solutions that would help Americans heat their homes and fuel up their tanks and pay their energy bills,” Palin said. “And maybe if he’d been the Governor of an energy-rich state, he’d get it. And maybe–maybe if he’d been on the front lines of securing our nation’s energy independence, then he’d understand.”

1. Palin is a

moron

[mac56]

13. And she's a scold.

"...and you know that doesn’t sound like the politics of hope or the politics of change to me...”

That has "prissy schoolmarm" written all over it.

(No offense meant to the prissy schoolmarms.)

[ErinBerin84]

2. what a coincidence

someone posted earlier that this was the Obama quote that Drudge has been pimping all day!



Is it supposed to be offensive? What is wrong with robust debate? Unless this is meant to make Obama seem like an angry black man or something. Obama is fucking cool as a cucumber 24/7. Nice try, Sarah. I really hate this person.

[ixion]

3. she is such an idiot that I'm not even going to take the time to parse her

stupid statements. I'll say it again: she's an idiot.

[Xipe Totec]

4. In what regard, Sara? n/t

[rurallib]

5. Hey Sara, how about an open debate about change?

you, Johnny72, Barack and Joe.

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[GOPNotForMe]

6. Shh, Sarah, your lips are moving. Words are coming out of your mouth. This is never a good thing.

[Mad_Dem_X]

23. !

:rofl: :thumbsup:

[doc03]

7. Just ignore her n/t

[curious one]

8. She is becoming annoying and soon irrelevant.

[Hulk]

9. This clearly demonstrates just how ignorant and gullible our country is.

I watched their WI "town hall" today...or wherever it was...and OMG...are those folks a bunch of dumb ass, gullible sheeple. Will they ever get tired of hearing her little dumb ass hollow phrases to get the masses of morons to break into controlled cheer???

We truly are a nation of f*cking morons. Just watch one of their conventions, and it's easy to see.

[Javaman]

10. "I want you to argue with them and get in their face”. in other words..

WHINE LIKE THE REPUBLICAN YOU ARE!!!!

:rofl:

[bdamomma]

29. get in their face?

what an unqualified unprofessional POS this woman is. Please I do not want a hockey mom to be next president if god forbid anything happens to mc insane, that should make everyone vote.

[Miss Chybil]

11. I think I'm going to start hiding every thread with "Palin" in the subject line.

Maybe, if I don't look, she'll go away.

(Of course, I know she'll disappear in about 47 days, but I want to believe she has gone back to the tundra now.)

[GinaMaria]

12. lets talk issues McSame

enough of the mud slinging and the he said she said bs. What we're tired of is the practice of taking one sentence out of a speech and making a stand against it. Take a real stand against something... like the illegal war/occupation, or the health care crisis or the financial crisis.
Stop acting like 5th graders and talk substance... unless there isn't any there?
Come on McSame and Phalin, bring it. Stop your attempts at distraction and tell us what you really stand for. Show us where you really stand. Otherwise all you've got is a stand against Obama.
Taking a stand against one man? Is that all your platform consists of?

[HerbieHeadhunter]

14. A directional school education at work.

Those 6 year journalism majors from Idaho dickshake State are so clever.

Over 10,000 supporters my ass.

[ann_american2004]

15. Guess what Palin? Wisconsin people also like GOOD DEMOCRATS

Not just hockey, hunting, fishing, and football. Wisconsin people are good judges of character and they can spot a 'suckup' like a whitetail. They know a bitch from a badger. They know a flatterer from a fox. The Humane Society is BIG in Wisconsin, they protect gray wolves and one of their MAJOR ISSUES is with wolf traps and unnecessary cruelty to wildlife. The hunters I know are experts with bow and arrow mostly and some are taxidermists and many just get out there to be one with nature. They wont tell you that unless you are an old friend. They might be nice to you but it takes awhile for them to really warm up. When you try to flatter them they will smile and clap but they wont be impressed with just words. Many of these people work in the factories and they read the newspaper at 4am before their shifts. They dont count on Fox News.

They know what has happened to their hometowns. They know that many little cities along Lake Michigan have fallen on some very hard times with Main streets looking like ghost towns. These are good people and they spend a lot of their money on insurance, insurance that has a high deductible. The cost of living might be lower than larger cities but they are frugal and count their pennies. They dont take kindly when people use money extravagantly - like hearing some Alaskan mayor remodeled her office for $50,000. These people have a high work ethic, they take pride in what they do and they wouldnt be impressed to know some Alaskan mayor had a manager who took over all of her duties so that she could redecorate. That's a slacker and someone who doesnt take pride in their work. That to them is unAmerican. Wisconsin people believe in their unions. Wisconsin people take pride in their teachers and education. Wisconsin teachers didnt LIKE BEING BLAMED and THREATENED by your chum McCain. And they DONT LIKE THE TEST.

Wisconsin is also about summerfest and octoberfest. It is about good music and good food. It is also about museums, education and opera. Wisconsin takes pride in its bands and choirs along with its football. It enjoys its theater from Milwaukee all the way up to the peninsula just to mention the East side of the State. They appreciate culture and cultivate it. They enjoy their evenings watching meteor showers while boating on the bay. They dont appreciate people blaming and restricting their counties for Chicago's pollution, that has created a constant haze as thick as a cloud over the southern horizon. Wisconsinites strive to be environmentalists. Even in the rural areas they divide up their recyclables and compost the rest.

Madison has always been a progressive city. There were large sit-ins against the Vietnam war in Madison and Green Bay-DePere. Many of the liberal colleges helped to organize community shelters. I know of a team of students who stayed out in the frigid Wisconsin sub-zero cold for several days in a cardboard box as a statement about the homeless and to raise awareness and money for shelters. Be sure today students have been taught that part of their vocations is to go out and help and serve others. And be sure they will be registering/registered to vote this year for the party that promises hope and will help them better reach out to those who would APPRECIATE their service. Wisconsin people are known for their devotion to serving and helping others. COMMUNITY ORGANIZING and RELIEF and CHARITY is in their very nature.

They arent easily impressed. They have common sense and keen eyes. They are not dumb.

17. The last thing Palin wants

is Obama's army knocking on doors comparing records. Go back to Alaska Palin.

[and-justice-for-all]

18. McFalin is so full of shit...

"“Our opponent says he wants to help Americans who are struggling with high-energy costs. But time and time again, he’s sided with special interests and come out against solutions that would help Americans heat their homes and fuel up their tanks and pay their energy bills,” Palin said. “And maybe if he’d been the Governor of an energy-rich state, he’d get it. And maybe–maybe if he’d been on the front lines of securing our nation’s energy independence, then he’d understand.”

because that is NOT what Obama has done, that is exactly what McBush has done! Who does she think she is fooling?

[OakCliffDem]

19. I do know that Palin is the Politics of Lies

She is just spreading the Republican manure with the help of Faux News

[Judi Lynn]

20. Who woud consider using Fox "news" as a real news source, anyway? Good grief. n/t

[Owl]

21. FOX News

[Mad_Dem_X]

22. "...get in their face"

What a nasty little person she is. I can't wait for the debates. Ol' Joe is going to shred her!

[Enrique]

24. getting-in-their-faces-Gate!

wow, it looks like the McCain campaign has become scouring Obama speeches for anything, ANYTHING, to distract voters from the issues.

Makes sense I guess, what else are they going to do, propose solutions to the financial crisis? :rofl:

[gauguin57]

25. As I said about Donald Trump the other day: Who cares what that drag queen thinks?

I am not being sexist when I say that Sarah Palin got her public relations training giving pat answers to generalized questions on the beauty pageant stage. She speaks in generalities and feel-good patriotic jargon -- no substance at all. Classic Miss America pageant system claptrap.

[lunatica]

26. Idiocracy meets The Aristocrats!

Can't wait for the Big Garbage Landslide of 2500. The Palin/McCain ticket = A new dawn for the Genetically Challenged Trailer Trash.

[ismnotwasm]

27. Stop "yelling" at each other?

Complaining about protesters? Get used to it idiot. She cancelled her Seattle trip. Wonder why? Chickenshit.


Palin is one of the biggest assholes that's come around in a while.

[bdamomma]

28. oh my.

she's nothing but a POS, no, we do not need this woman or mc cain in the WH. please no.
