Ankarlo is happy to be back in Phoenix today after two weeks on the road covering the Democratic Convention, Hurricane Gustav and the Republican Convention.
McCain’s vice presidential pick Sara Palin has agreed to her first network interview. She will sit down with ABC’s Charlie Gibson. In the meantime, the focus shifts to Palin’s church. Her church promotes the conversion of gays through prayer. Palin’s pastor this week urges his members to pray for the media.
This post addresses some of the Sara Palin rumors.
Across the aisle, Sen. Hillary Clinton’s people are saying she won’t be used to attack Palin.
All this buzz about Palin has helped McCain pull ahead in the latest Gallup poll.
Is the stigma of teen pregnancy fading? Look at Jaime Lynn Spears and Sara Palin’s daughter. But, in all honesty, teen pregnancy rates have been fairly consistent over the last 35 years.
Obama has been trying to garner some attention since the Republican Convention. He appeared on ABC’s This Week and said he wasn’t sure why Palin made fun of his community service as an organizer.
The government is going to rescue both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Big Three Automakers are looking for loans from Washington, D.C. Of course, they say this isn’t a bail out.
The UN wants you to eat less meat so you can curb global warming.
More and more people are becoming alarmed at the growing drug violence in Mexico. Why? Because they are increasing in border towns with the US.
Cardinals win their first game of the season, 23-13 over San Francisco.
Her church doesn’t say GD america so the media finds that her church promotes a bible based teaching of the power of prayer to change a person from “men who lie with men, but that is what some of you were.” (1 Cor 6:9-11) Shocking stuff.
Mrs. Palin is a breath of fresh air in the national Republican party. I am sure there are many that are shaking in their boots over the McCain/Palin ticket. Personally I can’t wait for the VP debate. She will kick Biden’s butt and show him for what he really is.
On the matter of not appearing on NBC and CBS, I wouldn’t if I were her either. Those two networks are so biased for the Dems they don’t want to hear anything that even comes close to the truth and seem to base all their reporting on far left wing blogs. Screw ‘em!!!!
GO SARAH !!! GO John!!!
In my opinion, the character and conduct of Palin’s chosen church congreation is very much a matter of public scrutinity when trying to figure out her viability as a vice cheif executive. After all we are considering the possibility of electing someone who is of a community who openly feels a subsect of society needs to be “cured” and not tolorated until converted into their sect. Might I remind everyone that we did not condone such behavior from Rev. Wright’s sect or David Dukes’s Klan and showed it in public opinion polls and at the voting booth.
Oh Great Oz Ankarlo, free us of this “strict eyed conservatist” movement.
Oh Great Oz Ankarlo, free us of the McCain Big GOP Theology Liberation movement in America. Please free us of the GOP oppression, recession and now lurking in the midst of our next Katrina morning this week, a Depression!
Oh Great Oz Ankarlo, free us of this “strict-eyed out-of-step extremism from John McCain and his now self-emerged “Embroynic” Conception of life fostering a new Social System in America.
Oh Great Oz, free us of McCain’s flip flopping “he did it” before I did it, even though I did it “Marxist” mentality.
Oh Great Oz Ankarlo, please help McCain and his “Embroynic” to stop forgetting the past, as though the entire Iraq work in progress is still a work in progress now 7 years later, and it didn’t take a man or a woman to have a “revelation” of the fact that the Republican party, living in the past, Ronald Reagan past, that it was the biggest “Strategic Blunder” in America’s history and not just a mistake, or something misspoken by the Republican GOP.
Oh Great Oz Ankarlo, Bush Lied, and 4400 men and women have died! McCain was wrong on Iraq, and the “surge.” or it’s Political “Will.” McCain, wrong on “ANTHRAX” wrong on Abramoff, wrong on Childrens Healthcare, wrong on Substainable energy. Wrong on Iran, Wrong, on North Korea, wrong on everything except getting a marriage license before getting a divorce. That takes a real “geniuos” to do that! Geanology doesn’t lie!
Vicki you would believe anything. You believed anything you hear, because it’s easier than understanding the truth. Who cares what church she went to, I just want to know if she understands the word “Nuclear” or Immigration Reform, or what the Constitution says and means and who is going to be her Attorney General pick? Other than that, vote for McCain, but again if you have a 13 year old who lived down the street 6 years ago, and died in Iraq. Well that is the “Return on Success” that the Republicans had promised you! Feeling that success, the “Victory” that’s at hand and for whom!
To get back on point, I believe Genesis to Revelation. I also believe the media has been brutal.
Judgement and good choices, most important.
Vicki:
The point isn’t what you believe, regardless of how deluded or not it is. It is weither or not we can trust someone who is a member of a group that feels that some americans are second class citizens.
Also, the media should be ruthless, as it is the voice of the people and should not be quieted by your theocratic opinions. Shall I remind you that freedom of the press is designed as a voice for all to ensure expression against tyranny.
BEWARE OF THE POLITICAL GAMES!!!!
I cannot wait to see the debates. I think that it is absoloutly essential to look at the facts of the real candidates OBAMA and McCAIN. Educate yourself on the real issues and make a decision that best suites your individual needs. The problem here is that the MEDIA shoves certain issues down your throat (ABORTION, GAY MARRIAGE, RELIGON) down your throat and skips over the meat and potatoes(ECONOMY AND IRAQ). Just throwing this out there, but if John McCains MELLINOMA SKIN CANCER proves to be fatal, do Americans trust Sarah Palin to be the leader that (FDR, Lincoln. Washington) once were? Uh Oh, I feel that OBAMA is the answer to all of our prayers. I would love to see the Federal Governemt invest billions into alternative energy. We do live in the VALLEY OF THE SUN. Wow, what a thought. Or we can build a pipeline and drill the crap out of Alaska. What does Arizona think?
You know what a person that thinks everything THEY(Roger Morris ) think is the “Truth” is?………………..WRONG.
If you watch the clips from O’Reilly, Hannity, McCains lady advisor and more you will see that they called Jaimie Lyn’s parents pin heads and bad parents just to name a few. Now that they VP pick has found herself in the same boat they appear to have changed their mind.
That is so hypocrital. It is pathetic.
Oh Bob, go read At&t vs QWEST. It amazes me, when you see the same people who took down QWEST with a stroke of a memo and targeted “portal availability” as a ways and means of taking down Fannie Freddie. John McCain’s Rick Davis, policy writer of Homeownership Alliance, faught for years to stop blockage of “REGULATION and POLICIES” that would have avoided this ENRON in the last days of the Bush/McCain Abrahmof QWEST to datamine and then devalue your property. Bob, guess what it didn’t take the 12 year old that couldn’t even spell Osama Bin Laden 7 years ago, that just died in Iraq dreaming of Mission Accomplish and what “Victory” means to a Republican GOP Culture of Corruption.
What do you think Bob, call Sen Sarah French before Bush/Cheney/McCain and our illustrious blind AG Mukasey kicks her to the curb vetting Palin as an “alive out of step extremist that has all the foreign experience needed to sit down with a leader or Fannie Freddie and Rick Davis, McCain’s Fannie Freddie Lobbyist from hell! Go Bob! I say what I know, not what I think. Archives don’t lie either oh and Bob did you know Obama is black and he prays? Spoooky huh!
Well Vicki, someone needs to explain that to McCain, because someone failed to tell him Cindy still has IUD stuck in her and that all that was “eptopic” is murder, and all that was “conception” and didn’t see the light of air is “murder” or just McCain Crack for sale to all women and activist who can’t stand the fact that a woman can eat, think or want to sleep! McCain is selling “conception” as though it is contraception he never used. Of course not, he is a nasty old man who brought you Viagra in hopes to recognize conception!
I’m not going to go into the Bible or Revelation, because born in colo solo panama canal zone 1936, not american soil! Bush 1 = 6 Bush 2 = 6 and McCain = 6 and 666 = “DOOMSDAY” and all that is left is Satans little “embroynic” conception with no experience, and all the nuclear warheads in the world at her dispense! Trig, track, oh Just pull the triggar baby! She’s going to tell us what to do, and she is going to tell a woman what she can do with her ovaries. Just one! China says just one.
If Palin was pro-abortion the media would thrilled. But she Chooses not to kill her babies and they condem her.
If 90% of blacks will vote for Obama, no one says it’s identity politics. What % of women will also identify with a great woman like Sarah?
Haven’t you ever heard” love the sinner, hate the sin?” wow! to say she hates gay people ISN’T even close. We live by ” all have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD” we aren’t perfect, just forgiven. They are simply learning how to reach out to any homosexuals who are looking to change their lives, by showing them the “love” of the lord. Calling for the damnation of a nation, people, or ANY orientation isn’t our way. We live in the same world as all, we just have a better guide. I wish everyone could live up to ” perfection” but, someone would hang YOU on a cross then. peace!!!
“Speak your mind” indeed.
To reencapsulate my opinion before, I feel it is fair to critically look at both Obama for his years support for Rev. Wright and Palin for her membership in a sect that considers a creed of fellow americans in need of a “Spiritual Cure” because of their chosen sexual prefrence. I was of the opinion that we has already matured as a community that we could objectivly look at wolves in sheep clothing and feel we have the freedom not to lie about what is before us; but I guess I was wrong(and d-noticed’ for it).
I respect (and continue to fight for) anyones right to beleive what they choose, as that is only american. However I reserve the right to judge them by the virtue of their actions and the actions of their peers. If they choose to associate with revisionist historians(Obama camp) or zealous reprogrammers (Palins’ congreagation) I will within my rights weigh that in my decision making process.
My final responce to Vicki I wanted to reword,
“I also believe the media has been brutal.”
Thankfully the media has been “brutal”, and are allowed/encouraged to do so. The media is the voice of the people, guaranteed by the first amendment to be free of restriction to bow to the will of the government. This freedom is essential as without it, a tyrannious(and historically theocratic) government would clearly outlaw unplesant and unsettleing truths to control the masses. To cry fowl of free press, is to my ears just as world shatteringly painful as Rev. Wrights revisionist diatribe was to your ears.
Anne Kilkenny is a fraud. She has already been debunked on Snopes.com. One obvious problem with her email is that she claims that Palin wanted to ban books from the library when she was mayor in 1996. Some of the books are the Harry Potter series, which wasn’t published until starting in 1997.
One more example of how idiots will manufacture controversies where none exist. Don’t buy into any of it.
Just remember VICKI there is NO one single MEDIA
Not to be rude but media is a plural
some in the MEDIA are thrilled about PALIN
Many more liberal are NOT — it’s not up to us -
I am for McCain and I do think Gov Palin is interesting and has strength and is refreshing;
I do have reservations re: Palin’s lack of experience
as I do re: OBAMA’s lack of experience at the state or national levels.
Have a great day
P S who cares if OPRAH does not have SARAH PALIN on her show - most of her
shows are about personal discovery and overcoming obstacles NOT POLITICAL
subjects -
I gave up Oprah and soap operas and I’m happier without both
Vicki, when do you see the Media promoting abortion to women? At best they promote “paid sponsored” commercials that give a woman a “choice” to consult her physician just like Palin did when her water broke and she felt it necessary to keep on talking about that Road to Nowhere while spending millions in earmarks for that Bridge to Nowhere! She chose and it was her “choice” just like her daughter! Unless you are saying she didn’t have a choice, and she would be a murderer and her mother would be unfit to be Vice President. If that’s the case, we better get Maury to check the DNA. It might be “You are not the father” day in the Palin family. Mama and Daddy wasn’t around when all that “conception” was happening prior to her “conceiving” her child that she plans on “bringing into this world” with the blessing of GOD or whomever she “prays” to.
But hey, she is just a vote, and it’s not like I can give birth even if I had to “choose” too. There is nothing “immaculant” about me, I actually came into life by way of a “woman” and not on boat or a train in Colo Solo Panama Canal Zone 1936!
I didn’t say the media promotes abortion, I said they only support pro-abortion candidates. Even Sarah’s rival Biden says life begins at conception. So according to Biden, abortion is murder. Which makes her fit to be V. P. On the other hand, Obama is willing to allow unwanted babies to die if the abortion dosen’t complete the job.
Rodger, it’s time for you to get to a church that lets you read the Bible. In Ps 139 GOD tells us tha he knew us as embros inour mothers womb. GOD thinks we are wonderfully made. So it is HE who tells us what to do with our bodies and the bodies in us. Stay away from the government supported chop shops.
Vicki, Might I suggest the begining of Leviticus chapter 27, and then come back and tell me how much your doctine values human life. Also might I suggest Deuteronomy 21:18-21 for what your chosen deity suggests for that precious gift when it thinks for itself and makes you angry.
It is blatantly obvious to the crowd that cheered at the “lipstick on a pig” remark, that it applied to Sarah Palin. You can hear them cheering like mad.
If Obama had been heard to make the remark prior to Palin’s “pit bull” remark, than we could believe that it was not intended to offend. But, he HAD to have realized its impact afterword, yet he made no attempt to mitigate the offense. Otherwise, we have to question his cognizance and judgment.
There is one final point, that applies to all candidates and their families. People are allowed to discuss their own personal life in a condescending way, but that does not give others the right to do likewise. When you discuss lipstick, Trig, or Willow, that is obviously personal. If you discuss who cares more about the handicapped or the particulars of a religion, you are walking the line.
I’m obviously conservative, but I fail to see where McCain or Palin have crossed over into personal attacks against Obama and his family. There have been bloggers that have crossed the line, but McCain has distanced himself from them, rather than give them airtime.
Vicki: The issue is not pro abortion or anti abortion. IT IS THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE. Quit trying to make something out of it that it is not. Yes Biden said life begins at conception but he is definitely not telling people if they have the right to choose and nor should you.
I want the right to choose. Then I can decide for myself not have you and a slim number of neocons decide for me.
Dell and Rodger, someone who CHOOSES life for the babies they carry is not telling you what to do, they’re simply setting a good example of thier Christian living. Palin walks the walk.
Vicki: I want my right to choose protected. Do I advocate abortion - no but by golly I do advocate my right to choose. There is a huge difference as many would not go the abortion route but they sure as hell want to know they have the right to choose.
To assume I or anyone else is not a Christian because we want and demand the right to choose is an absurd notion of the extreme right and I for one will not tolerate it.
I suppose she feels dancing with snakes is good too. Just remember she may be walking the walk but we are paying for her to do so with her son for the rest of his life. She should pay for her own. Thankfully with regard to chosing abortion or not I have not had to make the decision to walk the walk but don’t you date take away my right to choose.
Too bad the possible son or daughter doesn’t have a say in the Choice. You are willing to take away his or her choose. The most innocent need an advocate. “Thow shall not kill” is not extreme, it’s Biblical.
To bad the potential mother does not have the right to save their own life if the pregnancy will endanger her own. Or the right to choose not to have an inbreed constant reminder of an abusive relatives sexual assault likley needing constant care thus voiding her of any potential she once had. Or the constant pain of answering “who is the father” when her only mistake was to walk home alone and be in the wrong place with the right rapist.
Oh wait, she does… and thank reasonable and sane people for that.
