Here is what I will give you Jazzgirl:
She said in her speech:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/03/sarah-palin-rnc-conventio_n_123703.html"I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don't quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren't listening."
In the above she allude that you have actual responsibilites as a mayor, but not as a "community organizer". I have known two community organizers, and both carried quite a bit of responsibility, as well as our candidate carried responsibility.
She said the above in such a manner that a non-reasoning person could have just not questioned the honesty of it.
The the other bit about the religion and guns: It is unfortunate that Sen. Obama stated that. I do believe that was unwise for him to have said, and I would admit, I personally can understand his sentiment. But, there is a half truth in Sarah Palin about this also, Sen. Obama's statement was taken out of context, as if the Pukes care.
Then she said, "As for my running mate, you can be certain that wherever he goes, and whoever is listening, John McCain is the same man. I'm not a member of the permanent political establishment.< br>
And I've learned quickly, these past few days, that if you're not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone."
We both know that this is a lie. Sen. McSame has changed his stands quite a bit, making him look like a waffle, over the last two years. In fact his changing of his stands on some issues took what respect that I had for him away.
Finally, for this post, she stated, "But we are expected to govern with integrity, good will, clear convictions, and ... a servant's heart.
I pledge to all Americans that I will carry myself in this spirit as vice president of the United States. This was the spirit that brought me to the governor's office, when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau ... when I stood up to the special interests, the lobbyists, big oil companies, and the good-ol' boys network."
The above sentance, "But we are expected to govern with integrity, good will, clear convictions, and ... a servant's heart." is funny as hell, and a complete lie. In fact if you count it, 3 lies. Republicans, for the most part, do not govern with integrity, good will, and a servant's heart. I will give them the clear convictions. A sevant's heart is funny as hell, especially after BuchCo's Oligarchic Regime.
Then, in the next paragraph she had stated that she, "I pledge to all Americans that I will carry myself in this spirit as vice president of the United States. This was the spirit that brought me to the governor's office, when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau ... when I stood up to the special interests, the lobbyists, big oil companies, and the good-ol' boys network." I think this are most incredible of her lies. She abused her office as Govenor of Alaska, and as Mayor of Wasilla. She worked special interests, worked with lobbyists, and worked with big oil companies.
She said the above lies, and I am certain even more, in that speech of hers. She spoke these lies with conviction. And for the people who do not use their minds to deconstruct other's statements, when a lie is spoken as the truth, it becomes believable. And that believablity is not just with her base Jazzgirl, that believablility was with some independents.
I support Obama for President. I wish for him to win. I hope that my fellow DU'ers understand this.
