Sarah Palin is Spiro Agnew in Drag

McCain and his lobbyist-heavy campaign team have lobbed the grenade named Sarah Palin into this year’s political combat. While they will go to great lengths to protect the young governor from close scrutiny by the press or Obama/Biden, I think it will be hard to keep her leashed and on script. Her extreme religious zealotry includes a righteous streak that is clear in her record in Wasilla and Juneau, and even in the town halls with carefully selected crowds, I expect she will define herself in ways that will drive up her negatives in the polls.
But Palin is connecting with some Republicans who were lukewarm about McCain. On a hot Saturday night, we made mojitos and BBQ for our neighbors Hank and Gail, who define themselves as low-tax, small government Republicans; they soured on Bush only in the last year or two, and have the fear of Dems and Libs you get from regular exposure to Fox News and conservative talkradio. They buy into the concoction the GOP served up in St. Paul—that McCain and Palin are peacemongers and reformers, and that the liberal media will try to destroy her.
I mentioned that I thought the McCain team was employing the strategy used by diehard Hillary supporters at the end of the primary; even though it was clear she could not beat Obama, a group funded by a San Francisco millionaire ran ads portraying Senator Clinton as a victim of sexism and misogyny. The GOP has played the victim card almost from the introduction of Governor Palin, and their talking points demonize the media for “attacks” that have been mild and reasonable, and often based on family matters that clearly conflict with Republican ideals of “family values”. Giuliani and Palin both took big swipes at the media in rhetorical brushbacks that have, unfortunately, intimidated much of the media.
But Hank changed the subject to his biggest concern, which is Obama’s connection to Reverend Wright and Black Liberation Theology. His indictment was rich in the disinformation that is Sean Hannity’s signature product, and included, of course, the out of context soundbite “God Damn America." While Hank conceded that the quote was way out of context, his outrage was undiminished. So I made the point that Wright is not running for president, but that Palin’s own comments that mix religion and politics were “chilling” to me. This put Hank over the top—he had seen the same video on YouTube, and found her comments quite acceptable, even the part about the war in Iraq being one of “God’s tasks”. My comparison of his candidate’s religious extremism to that of Obama’s former pastor was way out of line; he said he couldn’t listen to me anymore, and got up to clear the dishes.
I see Sarah Palin as an updated Spiro Agnew in a skirt. Her injection into this campaign will enhance the fearmongering and division that have been effective GOP tools in recent years, and if Hank and Gail are any indication, many Republicans and some independents are ready to buy the incredible package they are being sold: a 25-year veteran of Washington who will extend our sorry status quo has repackaged himself as the reformer who is running against Washington and his own party.
We have a lot of work to do, and we can start by pressing the corporate media to provide full, honest coverage of Palin and not allow her to avoid scrutiny and contact with the media.

If you cling to that argument though you have to admit that Bush beat Kerry in '04, since Bush had the popular vote. You like to make sure you have that cake and can eat it though. In one case you want to declare Bush a cheater since he didn't win the popular vote, and in the other case you say popular vote doesn't matter, Bush stole enough electoral votes. Time to choose Huff.
- Email this page
By Kill-WhiteySeptember 9, 2008 - 6:48pmThe popular vote is as irrelevant in presidential election as it
was in the primaries. Bush lost in 2000 because a full recount of Florida shows he got less votes there. Bush should have lost in 2004 because voting machines switched votes in the middle of the night, thousands of legal voters were given provisional ballots that were never counted and in both cases, thousands more of legal voters had their names removed from the rolls by illegal caging.
Anybody but Huff would agree.

By hufflarry2000September 8, 2008 - 2:16pmIf you honestly expected there to be no convention bounce,
then you were being naive and unrealistic. I have consistently said that I don't believe in the sampling methods of the current polls, as they don't reach the prime voting block of Obama supporters, young people who have only cell phones and not land lines. I think in reality, Obama probably has a 10 point lead right now, one that will grow as we see the debates in the coming weeks. McCain is almost as bad at debates as he is at giving speeches, and Palin is going to display her lack of knowledge very quickly versus Biden.
So, stop your worrying. I see absolutely no reason to be a defeatist at this point.
- Email this page
By UffdaguySeptember 8, 2008 - 2:25pmI expected the Dem candidate to be ahead
by at least 10% but some of us chose the only candidate who will lose and I am pissed. If McCain had a convention bounce he should still be behind by 10 points. A little bit less than half the American people are frightened, uneducated, racist, religious nutcases but the trouble is that they actually figure out how to vote and make up the majority of voters. They do not care about the issues that we do. Young people do not vote in large numbers and wont this time.
The right wing controls the media, both TV and talk radio, they have already started the caging process in Ohio. Obama is running another wimpy campaign like Kerry did. Issues are not going to matter to ignorant people as has been proven with Bush being elected 2 times. I certainly hope we win big in the congressional elections and I am sure we will. It is the only hope we have.
- Email this page
By hufflarry2000September 8, 2008 - 2:38pmFirst of all, how could Obama be ahead by 10 after the RNC
when he was only up by 6 before the convention? Secondly, young people came out in droves for the primary, and they were overwhelmingly in Obama's camp, so I feel pretty sure they are going to seal the deal in November. Thirdly, Obama has run a campaign that is nothing like Kerry's wimpy campaign. They instantly respond to any lies that come out of the McCain camp, and they run far tougher ads than Kerry ever did.
So, once again, I think you will see that your pessimism over Obama's chances is just as misplaced as your confidence over Hillary.

By UffdaguySeptember 8, 2008 - 2:45pmI am saying that ANY Dem should be
winning by 10% even before the conventions. Obama was running even. Any Dem should still be winning by 10% after the conventions. Obama is behind due to racism in this country and NOTHING else. Young people never vote and the Obama fad has faded. Obama has run even a more wimpy campaign than Kerry. They do not attack like the Republicans and no one seems to care about Republican lies.
Face it. The Dems nominated a horrible candidate who will lose. Only Democrats can turn a sure win into a sure loss. At least I knew better as did the majority of the primary voters. This is a catastrophe of major proportions.

Pew Research Center dove into this topic some time ago before the start of the primary season. Their findings were that cell phone-only voters would, by large margins, overwhelmingly favor Democrats but may not end up being a large enough sample to drastically shift overall polling. I believe they actually took the time to do some cell-only polling recently in an attempt to confirm the original findings. If you poke around a bit over at Pew, you should be able to find it.
I'd go looking for it for you guys, but I'm having too much fun ridiculing chickenlittle2000 at present.

First, Go away Republican troll!!
And second, I think the question should be why would you have a landline.
My cell phone does actually work on nuclear power; I live relatively close to a nuclear plant so I'm sure some of the power that charges my phone is "nuclear power". I'm really not sure why you would ask such a silly question. It also works on any kind of power transmitted through the grid, regardless of how it was generated. Well actually, it usually works on stored power (in the battery), but that battery is charged via the grid.
Why should everyone with a job have a landline? That makes no sense. If I can use my cell everywhere, for every phone call I make, even in my house, why would I pay at least $30/month for a landline, a second phone line?
That's because your party, the Republican party, has driven the economy into the ground and there are no jobs for the young people. But I'm neither young nor unemployed. And I don't have a landline.
And third, Go away Republican troll!!

I'm older. The albums I mention to show I'm still in touch are 12 years old now.
Perhaps is relates to the SJI chart up thread.

Insteading of pissing and moaning and saying "I told you so" about a percieved mistake made by Obama in not picking Hillary at VP, why don't you FUCKING DO SOMETHING to support the CANDIDATE WE DO HAVE?!!?!?
You are obviously a Republican troll! Sod off!

I have registered over 100 Dem voters as I do every election. I use my dining hall for campaign meetings for Dems and may even use it as a polling precinct as it was in 2004 if it is needed. I have donated heavily to the Dems as I always do. What have you done?
I am not getting caught up in this over confident bullshit like I did the last 2 elections. I think Obama will lose and the polls are showing that it is headed that way. I am sticking with my prediction.

Simply put, I don't believe you. You are a republican troll. And I'm sure most of the real liberals on this forum agree with me.
You CLAIM to be a Dem, yet all you do is bash the Dem candidate. Why? Because you think Hillary was a better choice? So what, I thought Dennis Kucinich was a better choice, but when the chips are down I support the Dem candidate. And Obama is a great candidate, so I have no qualms about supporting him fully.
Why can't YOU stop your "I told you so" bitching and do something PRODUCTIVE !?!?!?!
(hint, the answer to that is that you are really a repub troll, so this is "productive" from your perspective)

By dtaylo75September 9, 2008 - 10:01amI was polled yesterday.
I actually ended up laughing at least three or four times throughout the questions. I was asked "Do you plan to support the tax and spend liberal Barack Obama or John McCain, who has a plan to balance the budget"? All of the questions were leading and ridiculous. No wonder some of these polls are favoring McCain.

By hufflarry2000September 8, 2008 - 2:56pmI absolutely love those push polls.....
It's pretty evident early on where they're going, so it's loads of fun to respond in whatever way will piss them off the most. I've actually had some of the pollsters stuttering and stammering as I give them opinions that really roast the campaign they're working for. Who says you have to call a 900 number to have fun on the phone? LOL
