This is what happens when you have spent the day drinking and watching football then decide to surprise your mother at midnight. I was watching the documentary “Taxi to The Dark side”, a movie about the torture we conduct by having Bush/Cheney use their own lawyer and definitions, when out of nowhere there was a knock on the door. Before I knew it I was being pulled outside to see my ‘late night’ surprise. It was dark out there, but in the light of the front porch I saw it… my daughter and her friend “borrowed” the neighbors’ McCain/Palin sign. We all had a great laugh. Grabbed our little flags and took photos to send off to those we knew would also get a good chuckle from the sarcasm you betcha because we are mavericks.
They took the sign when they left and shoved it back into place so no one is the wiser.
I thought maybe I would send a photo to Tina Fey and say thanks so much for the weekly SNL Palin skits, I think I have changed my vote to GOP just to watch Fey slam Palin into the ground every week you betcha! It was the same way when Ross Perot and James Stockdale were portrayed on SNL before the election years ago. I wanted to vote for Perot just because of the great Dana Carvey’s parodies!
Tina Fey’s Palin is amazing, she has just about put this Democrat on the bridge to somewhere! You betcha I want a maverick in the White House, (WH) — think of all the great SNL skits if McCain keels over and Palin is in office with her whole extended family, like instead of that nasty Lewinsky stained dress, we might see Palin running around all flustered as she uses little ‘throws’ to cover up the fresh baby vomit and dirty diapers stains around the Oval Office just before the dignitaries arrive. And picture a pissed off ‘first dude’ Todd screaming about picking the new offical WH China as he insists on cheap melamine with plastic flatware! Or how about Track coming back from Iraq and inviting his party buddies and they are busted for using Oxycontin after prank calling Karzai in Kabul on the “official 3am phone” and asking if Karzai’s brother the drug dealer has some good opium he can send over on AirForce One next time his Mom’s in town? Hey! They should make her Vice presidency a reality TV show! What better way to see how she rules the roost!
A few very scary reality Palin direct quotes from the debate: She is still a scatterbrain! You could see that from how she phrased her own words about not answering questions like the moderator was used to. You can see the old bull shit creep in as she tries to cover her tracks when she does not know the scripted answer, especially her role as Vice president… I’m thinking she is all about the Cheney method of the VP to get her big pipeline deal through Alaska. All she has to do is “expand” her role as VP, or knock off McCain.
AND what is the scariest thing about her, is her demand for loyalty EXACTLY LIKE GEORGE W. BUSH -and her want of expanding the VP role exactly like Cheney. Come on folks, it will be 4 more years of this Administration again!!! Let’s hope the October surprise will be all about her abusing her power to fire a state trooper! Lets hope we see how she really operates from behind her little magic word maverick!
According to Wikipedia: Shortly after taking office in October 1996, Palin eliminated the position of museum director and asked for updated resumes and resignation letters from top officials, including the police chief, public works director, finance director and librarian.[33] Palin stated this request was to find out their intentions and whether they supported her.[33] She temporarily required department heads to get her approval before talking to reporters..
Her position on the Vice presidency:
Palin: “Of course, we know what a vice president does. And that’s not only to preside over the Senate and will take that position very seriously also. I’m thankful the Constitution would allow a bit more authority given to the vice president if that vice president so chose to exert it…”
“Well, our founding fathers were very wise there in allowing through the Constitution much flexibility there in the office of the vice president. And we will do what is best for the American people in tapping into that position and ushering in an agenda that is supportive and cooperative with the president’s agenda in that position.”
Biden: The idea he (Cheney) doesn’t realize that Article I of the Constitution defines the role of the vice president of the United States, that’s the Executive Branch. He works in the Executive Branch. He should understand that. Everyone should understand that. And the primary role of the vice president of the United States of America is to support the president of the United States of America, give that president his or her best judgment when sought, and as vice president, to preside over the Senate, only in a time when in fact there’s a tie vote. The Constitution is explicit. The only authority the vice president has from the legislative standpoint is the vote, only when there is a tie vote. He has no authority relative to the Congress. The idea he’s part of the Legislative Branch is a bizarre notion invented by Cheney to aggrandize the power of a unitary executive and look where it has gotten us.
PALIN: “You do what I did as governor, and you appoint people regardless of party affiliation, Democrats, independents, Republicans. You — you walk the walk; you don’t just talk the talk.” – Yes it turns out Palin was putting her friends in jobs they had no business running, like putting a pal in to head the dept. of Agriculture because she “liked cows”…(she was a real estate agent before heading the Dept of Agriculutre)
From Wikipedia: During her second term as mayor, Palin introduced a ballot measure proposing the construction of a municipal sports center to be financed by a 0.5% sales tax increase.[51] The $14.7 million Wasilla Multi-Use Sports Complex was built on time and under budget, but the city spent an additional $1.3 million because of an eminent domain lawsuit caused by the failure to obtain clear title to the property before beginning construction.[51] The city’s long-term debt grew from about $1 million to $25 million through voter-approved indebtedness of $15 million for the sports complex, $5.5 million for street projects, and $3 million for water improvement projects. A city council member defended the spending increases as being caused by the city’s growth during that time.[52]
