佩林的提名是給民主黨一個響亮的大耳光

                          

一個自譽為少數民族, 勞動人民, 和廣大婦女撐腰的民主黨，居然從上到下對一個有5個孩子的母親，一個出身於中產階級家庭的職業婦女，一個老公是工會成員，兒子要上前線，自己還生了個有智障的高齡產婦，進行造謠中傷，無情打擊。可見民主黨左派極端分子都是些什麽貨色。說他們是烏合之眾真是便宜他們了。

佩林在美國共和黨和保守派裏早就名聲顯赫。MCCAIN在6個月前就對她進行背景調查，一個月以前就定她為候選人。保密工作之滴水不漏也隻有MCCAIN這樣的老英雄才能做到。

相反，民主黨黨部在最後階段硬是把有1800萬選民支持的HILLARY逼出局，把一個能說會道的奧巴馬給推上來。

這個口口聲聲說要改革, 到處說HILLARY好話的奧巴馬, 在考慮VP候選人時根本就沒考慮她，連個電話解釋都沒有。

而MCCAIN提名佩林讓美國人清楚地看到，誰在改革，誰在把美國往前推。

佩林讓美國人看到真正的女強人是什麽樣的。一個五個孩子的母親真的可以, 並且可能, 有一天成為美國總統。

佩林把PELOSI和HILLARY徹底比下去了。

                    

可以說，如果佩林是民主黨，她絕不會有今天。PELOSI會比對HILLARY更狠地把她打壓下去。

一個理論上應該是民主黨的女州長居然是個堅定的保守派共和黨，在被民主黨說成有錢男人俱樂部的共和黨裏脫穎而出，一步登天，成了副總統提名人，她將會成為新的婦女在政治上的代言人。

佩林的提名讓民主黨方寸大亂。先是不知如何對付，接著就開始對PALIN和她的家人給予無情的諷刺和造謠惑眾。媒體，特別是那些所謂笑星，更是講一些有性暗示的下流笑話，來汙蔑中傷一個母親。

一些民主黨婦女代表人物和支持民主黨的一些著名的自由派女權主義者, 也不顧一切地, 對一個真能為婦女在政治領域裏為婦女說話的母親進行諷刺挖苦。

有人說，這下可算讓人深刻明白了民主黨左派不過是些葉公好龍的偽君子了。

其實老毛早就點破民主黨這個真麵目了。

要我看，關鍵還是在於共和黨這次做了屬於民主黨本來應該做的好事。

佩林的提名給了這幫偽君子一記響亮的耳光！

奧巴馬-美國革命-造神運動

作者:ivyqi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
如果再有一黑人 喊出“More Changes”，我們是否選他還是Obama？

數月前，當肯尼迪（Edward Kennedy ）在一競選集會上帶領眾人引吭高歌“Obama is our sunshine（奧巴馬是我們的陽光）”，我們情不自禁地回想起我們偉大祖國的嘹亮頌歌“東方紅，太陽升，中國出了個毛澤東”，仿佛回到了風雷激蕩的文 化大革命時代。
既使我們中國已不再搞大體育場或廣場之類的大型群眾集會，美國數百年也未曾有過。但是，今年是美國革命年，一切的一切都變了，因為我們迎來了美國乃至世界的大救星—Barack Hussein Obama（吧那個.侯賽因. 奧巴馬）。上周，我們美國80，000人民在Pepsi 大體育場， 洗耳恭聽 Messiah奧巴馬的聲調一浪高過一浪的布道與訓導。（估計如能當選美國總統， 要像當年毛澤東天安門上檢閱百萬紅衛兵一樣，在華盛頓舉行百萬人的 就職典禮和大遊行。美國乃至全世界放假一個月，以示隆重慶祝！）

Change，Change， Change， 聽上去就像祈禱一樣，不過我們祈禱，多有事求。而我始終不知這祈禱Change的內涵。奧巴馬從未給出答案。我也問過很多人，讓他/她們給我列出若幹具體的Change，無人能給出一個。奧巴馬究竟要 Change 什麽？？？把Chicago的腐敗政治帶到華盛頓？將他的老婆工資再漲160%倍？再寫信給國會撥款給Rizco，然後再讓Rizco 送他一套Mansion？ 我想奧巴馬所要的最核心的Change是，通過這場造神運動，把他Change 成美國總統。

但問題是，他從未領導過一個哪怕最小的行政單位，又沒有任何可以誇耀的成就，（在Illinois ， 他在超過170項議案上投了 present，在參議院他未有一個提案）他這樣一個既無經驗，無作為，又無建樹，更無道德的人（有很多曆史疑點待查），如何讓人相信他？ 極左翼民主黨頭目們讓我們投他的票，僅僅因為他的半黑的皮膚？？

如果選了他，不就隻是促進了整容業的發展， 越來越多的人Change自己的膚色成黑色，去享受AA 法去上Ivy 名校，去享受黑人才能獨享的種種照顧，去所向披靡地去參選總統？

如果選了他，不就是鼓勵政治投機，投機取巧嗎？ 如果再過 若幹年，再有一個初出茅廬的黑人振臂一呼，喊出“More Changes”， 我們是不是要再次響應極左翼民 主黨頭目們的號召，呼擁而上，再造化一個比奧巴馬 更耀眼的新神？

有鑒於此，我以及我的朋友們準備在在今年的大選中投McCain/Palin的票，理由如下：

（1） McCain是個英雄，心口如一，光明磊落。Palin是和我們一樣的平民出身，敢和邪惡腐 敗勢力抗爭，正派清廉，政績斐然。

（2）我們無法Trust Obama ，他從哪裏來？他要把美國往哪裏帶？他是一個美國自建國以來最無經驗，也未經過vetting的總統侯選人。左翼媒體 從一開始就給了他a Free Pass, 這在美國曆史上是極為罕見的。主流媒體本身就是一個值得探究的Story, 徹底改變了我們對主流媒體的印象。左翼主流媒體對奧巴馬的明目張膽的縱容與偏袒和奧巴馬對Clintons的無理攻訐，漫罵與詆毀，這些也是促使我們投奧巴馬反對票的原因之一。
如果他是一個非黑人（其實他是一半白人），我們也不會投他的票。

（3） 追溯美國曆史，從未有極左翼民主黨人或極右翼共和黨人贏得總統大選。原因之一，極端化的總統侯選人會 激發 對立麵Base的投票熱情。

原因之二，Independents中間選民不喜歡極端化的總統侯選人。奧巴馬是一極左翼民主黨人，所以大量右翼共和黨人和中間選民會蜂擁而出，去投共和黨的票。

（4） 曆史證明，國會與總統不宜屬與同一政黨。看看Polosi等領導的眾參兩院低至9%的Approval Rate，是數十年來通過立法最少的國會，而Polosi一直力挺奧巴馬，你就知到道再選一個奧巴馬會有多大的危險。（不過對中國或許是個利好，因為“海龜”回流會大幅增加。）

（5） 從來沒有救世主，不要太相信政客。政客越是信誓旦旦，花言巧語，越是要警惕。 奧巴馬的滿嘴跑火車，語言花花緑緑，開得空頭支票最多，但就是無真實內容，還經常根據形勢需要，改變自己的說法（這也是他標榜的Change, we can）。

（6） 奧巴馬是民主黨曆史上最大的分裂者，他已使很多老民主黨人喪失信心，造成了影響久遠的混亂。我們所知道的不少人因這次初選已決定脫離民主黨。（感謝Clintons的大度與Grace，否則*黨的情形會更糟。如果尊敬的讀者知道EdwardKennedy與 Carter的1980初選，而後Carter慘敗給Regan 這一段史實，就會知道我所說的緣由。 ）

P．S． 我有個同事他的名字中也含有Hussein（侯賽因）， 他最近叮囑我和他的其它同事，不要再喊他Hussein， 因為奧巴馬也不讓叫了。估計Hussein 會很快從字典中刪除，也好，少記一個單詞。：=）

Reagan was the best president of USA. His son wrote this article. What do you(Obama's Fans) think about Palin after you read it?

Welcome Back Dad
By Michael Reagan September 4, 2008

I've been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan to emerge and lead our party and our nation. I insisted that we'd never see his like again because he was one of a kind.

I was wrong!

Wednesday night I watched the Republican National Convention on television and there, before my very eyes, I saw my Dad reborn; only this time he's a she.

And what a she!

In one blockbuster of a speech, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin resurrected my Dad's indomitable spirit and sent it soaring above the convention center, shooting shock waves through the cynical media's assigned spaces and electrifying the huge audience with the kind of inspiring rhetoric we haven't heard since my Dad left the scene.

This was Ronald Reagan at his best -- the same Ronald Reagan who made the address known now solely as "The Speech," which during the Goldwater campaign set the tone and the agenda for the rebirth of the traditional conservative movement that later sent him to the White House for eight years and revived the moribund GOP.

Last night was an extraordinary event. Widely seen beforehand as a make-or-break effort -- either an opportunity for Sarah Palin to show that she was the happy warrior that John McCain assured us she was, or a disaster that would dash McCain's presidential hopes and send her back to Alaska, sadder but wiser.

Obviously un-intimidated by either the savage onslaught to which the left-leaning media had subjected her, or the incredible challenge she faced -- and oozing with confidence -- she strode defiantly to the podium and proved she was everything and even more than John McCain told us.

Much has been made of the fact that she is a woman. What we saw last night, however, was something much more than a just a woman accomplishing something no Republican woman has ever achieved. What we saw was a red-blooded American with that rare, God-given ability to rally her dispirited fellow Republicans and take up the daunting task of leading them -- and all her fellow Americans -- on a pilgrimage to that shining city on the hill my father envisioned as our nation's real destination.

In a few words she managed to rip the mask from the faces of her Democratic rivals and reveal them for what they are -- a pair of old-fashioned liberals making promises that cannot be kept without bankrupting the nation and reducing most Americans to the status of mendicants begging for their daily bread at the feet of an all-powerful government.

Most important, by comparing her own stunning record of achievement with his, she showed Barack Obama for the sham that he is, a man without any solid accomplishments beyond conspicuous self-aggrandizement.

Like Ronald Reagan, Sarah Palin is one of us. She knows how most of us live because that's the way she lives. She shares our homespun values and our beliefs, and she glories in her status as a small-town woman who put her shoulder to the wheel and made life better for her neighbors.

Her astonishing rise up from the grass-roots, her total lack of self-importance, and her ordinary American values and modest lifestyle reveal her to be the kind of hard-working, optimistic, ordinary American who made this country the greatest, most powerful nation on the face of the earth.

As hard as you might try, you won't find that kind of plain-spoken, down-to-earth, self-reliant American in the upper ranks of the liberal-infested, elitist Democratic Party, or in the Obama campaign.

Sarah Palin didn't go to Harvard, or fiddle around in urban neighborhood leftist activism while engaging in opportunism within the ranks of one of the nation's most corrupt political machines, never challenging it and going along to get along, like Barack Obama.

Instead she took on the corrupt establishment in Alaska and beat it, rising to the governorship while bringing reforms to every level of government she served in on her way up the ladder.

Welcome back, Dad, even if you're wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.

別為了口袋裏的一點點錢而斷送了你的孩子們享受更福利社會的機會。。。也是為什麽我們要選擇奧巴馬、克林頓，而不是再讓布什政府執政下去。。。

Palin Slams Expose the Real Democrats

Friday, September 12, 2008 3:01 PM

By: Dick Morris & Eileen McGann

For two weeks, Democrats and their media allies have leveled scorching fire at Sarah Palin. It's not having much effect, but they keep at it anyway.

The latest Fox News poll shows Palin with a 54-27 favorable/unfavorable ratio, which compares well with Barack Obama's 57-36, John McCain's 60-33 and Joe Biden's 51-29. (Of the four, she's the most popular).

Why do Democrats feel so threatened? They've even stopped attacking McCain and President Bush to launch a vicious and sexist barrage at her that would normally make a feminist angry and a Democrat blush.

Basically, it's this: John McCain only endangers Democratic chances of victory this November, but Sarah Palin is an existential threat to the Democratic Party.

She threatens a core element of the party's base — women.

When African-Americans like Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell, or Condi Rice rise to prominence as a Republican, they endanger the Democratic coalition. So would a Republican labor leader.

And so, above all, does the woman Republican running for vice president.

Democrats can't stomach seeing the feminist movement's impetus for greater female political participation and empowerment "hijacked" by a pro-life woman who espouses traditional values. They must obliterate her, lest her popularity eat away at their party's core.

So the Democrats are hysterical in their attacks on her. South Carolina's Democratic Party chairwoman, Carol Fowler (wife of a national party chairman), said that the only qualification Palin had for vice president was that she hadn't had an abortion. Tabloids are digging up dirt on Palin's children. And liberal bloggers have suggested that Palin would neglect her children if she were elected (while the Democratic candidate has young children at home, too).

That liberals would resort to such blatant sexism shows their desperation.

But the Fox News poll of Sept. 8-9 indicates a deeper reality of Palin's popularity. On the question of which of the four candidates best understands what day-to-day life is like in America, Palin finished first, with 33 percent. (Obama drew 32 percent, McCain 17 percent and Biden 10 percent.)

She's not popular because she's a radical feminist or pro-choice advocate. It's because she understands what it's like to be a woman in 21st century America.

She's never ascended to the elite, so she doesn't need to stoop to conquer as most well-heeled feminist leaders must. She lives far from the plastic pseudo-reality where a fossilized ideology substitutes for human compassion and empathy. As such, she rises above the slogans of both the left and the right and proposes to bring to Washington a dose of reality — a taste of real life.

She may become the first woman in national office, yet the Democrats, feminists and liberals can't control her, and that burns them up.

Elections come and go, but Palin is a far more fundamental threat to the Democratic Party. And that's why they fear her so.

[路過不錯過]

又及，佩林給我的感覺就像 Home Owner Association　裏的社區活動熱心者。比Hillary差了好些檔次。人是好人，但當總統的後備，好像有點過了。不過我覺得McCain這招還是蠻不錯的。有助於消除他陳腐的老麵孔形象。但當辯論開始的時候，誰是真牛就不是這麽容易裝的了。

[路過不錯過]

其實朱的演講是最差的。隻會打911一張牌，空洞無味的口號居多。佩林就比他強多了。McCain水平更高。不過奧巴馬才是我的最愛。因為McCain這樣的人才每次選舉都有。而奧巴馬，50年才有一個。上一個是肯尼迪。McCain是一個當年連George W 都贏不了的人。奧巴馬年紀輕輕，從默默無名到兩年內扳到誌在必得的Hillary. 靠的就是才華橫溢。相比之下，McCain就有多年的媳婦熬成婆的感覺。和嘴裏含著金匙出生，熬到70好幾的McCain比，誰更能代表美國夢呢？

This is the doctrine of the Republicans.

Look at the track record of most recent republican presidents. Every single of them left a huge national debt. On the other hand, none of the democrat presidents did. Who is going to pay for the huge national debt if we keep cutting the taxes? The 6 years when we had a republican congress and a republican president, our national budget increased way g
reater than the time of Bill Clinton. Who is fiscally conservative and responsible? Certainly not the republicans.

我個人認為繼續讓現行政策無休止地進行下去是沒有出路的，與其讓老邁延續布什的政策不如讓那匹黑馬跑跑，看看有無新的出路，有些改變，有些新花樣未嚐不是好事呢！

中秋快樂！

[lianggeren]

忍不住多說兩句。

你有些讓我不明白的地方，如果可能你能解釋一下嗎？

“這個口口聲聲說要改革, 到處說HILLARY好話的奧巴馬, 在考慮VP候選人時根本就沒考慮她，連個電話解釋都沒有。

-- 你是說那個政黨推出了女性候選人就是進步？？？錯！！！麥凱恩推出的不是代表自由進步的女性，反而是退步保守的女性 -- 即使年輕漂亮也不能掩蓋這一點，這性別無關。。麥凱恩是想以假亂真。哈哈！

-- 沒有一個電話之類的就不要亂猜了。我也對希拉裏最後沒有勝出有些遺憾，但這就是遊戲規則。至少大麵上，克林頓夫婦顯示了風度勇氣和對這個政黨的忠誠 -- 表現無懈可擊！！！

但更重要的是我們支持克林頓的政策。對比一下，難道麥凱恩更接近希拉裏？？？

謝謝！！！

91468：如果每個人都有責任的話，共和黨要擔90%，民主黨控製國會才兩年。為什麽民主黨能贏得國會，也是大家逐漸認清了布什政府的真麵目。

另外，說句良心話，如果奧巴馬是個白人，這樣的形式下，閉著眼也能贏。

共和黨主政下，經濟一塌糊塗，單邊外交在外麵樹敵無數，信貸危機，石油危機，更不要說靠編瞎話發動對伊拉克的戰爭，明目張膽地中飽私囊。

我想問問NASO,你是對目前美國的困境一無所知呢？還是選擇性耳聾？？？你說你是支持佩林的反墮胎政策，鼓勵槍械政策，還是伊拉克戰爭是上帝旨意的政策，或者她完全不知道副總統的職責是什麽，或者她前後矛盾的“bridge to nowhere"項目，還有現在扮可憐，獨自不願麵對媒體的態度。

麥凱恩要為他的：Beauty Queen選擇付出代價的，

當然，謝謝你花時間寫文章，我們才有機會就此辯論。

那誰的責任大呢？
其實這不是重點，重點是誰會讓過去的八年重複或變得更糟。
說是民主黨國會的責任，誰信呢，即便是，那共和黨再上台還不是和以前一樣。辯來辯去，還不如吸取教訓。

最佳黨選：民主黨〉共和黨
最佳人選：希拉莉〉麥卡恩〉佩林〉奧巴馬
但國家還是靠政黨而不是總統

there is no set definition of the "Bush Doctrine." Neither George Bush nor anyone in his Administration ever defined the putative Bush Doctrine. There has been an accumulation of ideas and principles that have been layered over the years and that the term the "Bush Doctrine" supposedly defines.

Now, what do you expect her to answer:

"yes I support?"

You can't support something you don't even know what it is.

Palin did a great job to let Gibson define the meaning of "Bush Doctrine" again.

This term is first time mentioned in media ever, no one knows what Gibson was talking about if he didn't explain what he meant.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Campaigns are ugly. Watching the way politicians act makes you long for the respect and self-control of the Sopranos. Throughout, there are legitimate attacks and outright lies.

Every once in a while, I get a call on my radio show from someone telling me that Barack Obama is secretly a Muslim, who admitted it in an interview with George Stephanopoulos, and has a fake birth certificate. No, no, and no. As I tell them, there are legitimate reasons not to vote for Barack Obama, no need to make them up.

But the newest target is Sarah Palin. Let's take a quick look at just a fraction of what she has faced in her first few days as John McCain's choice for vice president. iReport.com: Do you think Palin is being treated unfairly?

"Sarah Palin believes God told her to go to war with Iraq!"

There has been some hard-core journalistic malpractice on this one. The Associated Press ran this headline about a speech she gave at her church: "Palin: Iraq war 'a task that is from God'"

In the story, they omit the first part of the sentence they're quoting along with the entire previous sentence for good measure.

Here are her actual words: "Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending them out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."

Palin is clearly praying that we're doing the right thing in Iraq, something sensible for an introspective woman of faith concerned about the lives of our troops to do. She's not saying that she just received a text message from heaven's BlackBerry ordering her to launch missiles. Sorry to disappoint you.

And for those of you who think politicians asking God for guidance is offensive, might I remind you of this famous politician's prayer:

"Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will." --Barack Obama

"She has no experience!"

It's fair to assume that Barack Obama believed he was qualified to be in the White House when he announced he was running for president. At that point, he had been a U.S. Senator for 767 days. When Sarah Palin was announced as a vice presidential candidate, she had been the governor of Alaska for 634 days.

While I'm sure those extra 133 days were filled with personal discovery, I can't imagine anyone seriously trying to make the case that Obama is experienced and Palin isn't.

Unless, of course, you're Matt Damon, who said a Palin presidency would be a really "scary thing" because she has been "governor of Alaska for...for less than two years!" (Damon originally expressed his presidential preference for Obama in December 2006, when he had been a senator for less than two years.)

More importantly, Palin's career has been filled with executive experience. She's the only one of the four in this race who has run a business, town, and/or state (a state that gives her crucial energy experience in the middle of an energy crisis).

When Obama's campaign complains that Palin would be one heartbeat away from the presidency, they should consider that their candidate would be zero heartbeats away.

"But Obama is running a huge campaign -- Palin was just a small town mayor!"

Believe it or not, this one was actually trotted out by Obama himself.

"My understanding is, is that Gov. Palin's town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We've got 2,500 in this campaign. I think the budget is maybe $12 million a year. We have a budget of about three times that just for the month."

Apparently, Barack missed that she's become the governor of Alaska in the interim. Why would he compare his current duties with her former duties?

Well, since he announced his candidacy, Barack Obama has raised about $22 million a month. That's a large organization for sure, unless you are directly comparing it to Sarah Palin, who is handling state revenues that are about 61 times as large, or more than $1.3 billion per month.

"Palin only supports abstinence to be taught in sex-ed!"

This claim is usually followed by a super classy comment about her daughter and the use of contraception, but the premise is false. Palin hasn't said she doesn't want condoms discussed in sex-ed, calling their discussion "relatively benign."

"I'm pro-contraception, and I think kids who may not hear about it at home should hear about it in other avenues. So I am not anti-contraception. But, yeah, abstinence is another alternative that should be discussed with kids. I don't have a problem with that," Palin said. Hers is hardly an extreme point of view in America today.

"If she cares about children with special needs, then why did she cut spending on them by 62 percent?"

Actually, Palin almost tripled their funding in only three years from $26,900 per student to $73,840 per student.

Incidentally, the amount of government money you spend on a specific group doesn't equal the amount you care for that group, but that's another story for another column.

All of these represent just a small percentage of the bizarre collection of claims being thrown at Palin by her opponents and some in the media -- who are desperately hoping something will stick. I leave you with my favorite so far: The Internet rumors that she harbors racism against Eskimos. If true, she sure has a strange way of expressing it -- her husband, Todd, is half Yupik Inuit Eskimo.

To balance that out, she must really love his other half.

知道你是為了吸引眼球才會起這麽低俗的標題，你用了許多詞來形容佩林的可憐，實際上她是鳳姐型的人物，你的同情用錯了地方，她打壓起手下來可是比男人還利害，但願你不要碰到槍口上。要是說裝可憐就可以當總統，美國街頭的女人多著呢！！！

昨天的ABC采訪，她連基本的常識都看出是背書的，當然，你也還會同情她，覺得以她的智力能在兩個星期裏記住NATO是件不容易的事情。要是怕攻擊就別進這個圈子。她懷孕的女兒現在肯定恨死她，那個可憐的傻小子則不得不接受結婚的現實。

共和黨才是不可信任的，腐敗，好戰，保護富人，一群南方農民，靠人多示眾當選，也隻有這裏保守的中國人才會支持。

佩林隻不過替本來不投奧巴馬票的人找了一個借口。讓他們自欺欺人的以為他們並不是看種族投票。利用種族偏見是共和黨今年唯一的稻草。
看著某些人為此大肆彈冠相賀，可悲，可歎，可鄙，可憐。

佩林的提名是給民主黨和共和黨一邊一個響亮的大耳光.

I am very sorry that you reached such conclusion. The democrats attacked her because she has no, absolutely no experience of handling international affairs. Read the excerpt of her interview with Charlie Gibson today and you will reach the same conclusion. A 15 year old would have given a better answer. She implies that we may go to war with Russia if Georgia joins the NATO and need our help. We cannot afford to have people like Sara Palin to run country based on her faith, not on the basic knowledge of international affairs.

It is scary to have a VP like her to run this country someday. It has nothing to do with her gender, but her knowledge and ability.

[流沙隨風]

佩林的提名的確是給了這幫偽君子一記響亮的耳光，可你想過沒有，美國社會真的可以接納女人做三軍統帥的總統了？

個人不認為如此。

我的直覺是奧巴馬贏定了，可戲還要演下去。

[tristateMD]

希拉瑞不是真正的女性政治家。她若不是因為守著克林頓，憑她自己是走不到今天的。
克林頓在下台之際，把美國政界的大壁江山的一部分給了他老婆。有點兒翻版的江
青似的。

波羅希和佩林都可算是貨真價實的政界女強人。她們是自己打出了半壁江山。不過
從理念上，我在有生之年可能不會輕易苟同民主黨的。
