Sarah Palin — SNL Video Clip!

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin plays herself in the opening segment of yesterday’s episode of Saturday Night Live. She stood with executive producer Lorne Michaels as the two watched Fey play Palin during a mock news conference.

Palin also went on to deliver the show’s signature starting line, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night“. Politically savvy move on Palin’s part? You decide! Watch the video below –

Palin also dropped by the news segment of the show, “Weekend Update”, where she did a little rapping. Yes, Palin raps!!! Watch that video here. For some behind-the-scenes backstage video footage, click here!

FIRST BITCHEZZZZZZZZ! I looooove Sarah Palin. She’s so stupid she makes George Bush sound smart.

# 2

she was pretty funny for a politician. i really liked the part with mark whalberg though…do I have to bust open your skull too? so funny!

# 3

That was short lol

Hahah I loved that part when Alec Baldwin said the trouth <3

# 4

It was really short compared to all the other Sarah Palin skits. And I think it would have been so much funnier if they showed more of Tina Fey and Sarah Palin together…or just more Tina…idk it just seemed ok to me, But maybe I just expected to much

# 5

She did great considering she’s been a little busy this week =)

I know some of you just hate her. I don’t know why. Seriously - I can understand some arguments for not feeling confident voting for her, but I really don’t get the vicious hate. She’ pretty cool.

Hahahaha that was funny as! you gotta love tina!!

# 7

You dont know why some people hate her?

Im gonna speak for my self now.. but the reason I dont like her, ( I dont hate her ) Is because she wanna take away the womans rights and make this country like Iran. She is Really strict with her religion and wants to force inocent people in to her religion! ( school ), she is against gay marrige,agains abortion, she wanst no sex befor marrige.. etc! She is simply scary and nuts.. She doesn’t wanna let people live their lives as THEY want. She wants people live by the way SHE wants.

# 8

this was way too hyped up. totally over rated. she ruined this whole thing. but tina fey was still awesome

# 9

Thank you Jared - You are the first one posting this. This was a good skit, and you just know Palin couldn’t have handled any more than she did.

Seriously - I can understand some arguments for not feeling confident voting for her,

where to even begin! seriously, i dont think i have the time to type up all the reasons that millions of peple have no respect for her. im kinda surprised anyone could still want to see her in the white house when there is a huge pssibility that she could end up as President of the United States of America. How anyone could actually support that possibility makes me feel physically ill

Love Palin. Love the part Palin with Baldwin, so hilarious.

My vote definitely goes to McCain/Palin on this Nov. 4th.

i am voting Obama/Biden without doubt come election day. as is every single person I know. But this was funny–but that really had nothing to do with sarah palin since it was everyone else making the jokes, she sorta just stood there OH YEAH! the thing with mark whalberg was SOOOOOOOO funny! hahahahahaha! i totally saw that thing with him on letterman the other night lol. that was the best part f this whole thing!

I LOVE Sarah Palin!!!!!

McCain-Palin 2008

I can’t believe she went on the show that made fun of her. It’s seems bizzare that a politician would do an SNL skit.

The rap was better. haha but I dunno. She wasn’t THAT funny. She coulda been a whole lot funnier.

OBAMA/Biden 08..cause we need REAL change. And not a VP who could be a heartbeat away from presidency who will ruin what my grandma fought for, for my sisters, yo.

What an idiot. To believe she can get THAT close to becoming President! Fools.

Wow, that was so not funny on Palin’s behalf

I thought she was great ! And to all you obama biden supporters …. keep supporting the man who won’t even wear an american flag pin on his chest … and went to jeramiah wrights church…..I’m sorry I’m voting for experience and dignity this november …and ill give you a hint who I’m voting for ….NOT for obama!

I thought she was great ! And to all you obama biden supporters …. keep supporting the man who won’t even wear an american flag pin on his chest … and went to jeramiah wrights church…..I’m sooooooo glad me and everyone in my family and that I know already voted mccain/palin!!!!! Its called absentee ballets bitchess!

Mccain/palin all the way!

Jess #14:
Bill Clinton went on SNL when he campaigned. Actually, many people think that it was the defining moment of his campaign and helped him win the presidency.

Tina Fey plays Sarah Palin better.

#20 Actually Bill Clinton went on the Arsenio Hall show and played the saxophone which was considered a defining moment in his campaign. And Jesse, if you think McCain has dignity, I have a bridge to nowhere to sell you.

Hahaha that was awesome :D

she looks good and indeed has a sense of humor

Is there any site where I can see what McCain/Palin and Obama/Biden stands for? What they want to do in the US and things they want to change? And things like that?
I don’t live in the US, so I would love to know!

Kate Walsh Fansite @ 10/19/2008 at 6:55 am

Omg this is so funny

That was awesome! That made me like Sarah a lot more!

What was going on the the background with the llama being led by someone dressed as Abe Lincoln or was it a Hasidic Jew. Surreal. And the 2 cheeleaders who walked in a bit later. Spooky. Like Caribou Barbie.

YELLOW ROSE @ 10/19/2008 at 7:19 am

MCCAIN/PALIN all the way!!!!!! What a phenomenal team!

To Lolz - #7

Exactly. Plus the fact that she’s quite the phony. She never said “thanks but no thanks” to Congress for the funding for the bridge to nowhere; it was exactly the other way aournd. More stuff is comng out about her every day. Take a look at this:

The only people that like Palin are the neocon part of the Republican base. They support the second phase of the Bush Doctrine. And yes, Palin should have know what this was, when asked by Charlie! She is stupid. Traditional Republicans can’t stand her.

Vote for Obama

Palin was kind of dull and stupid; no humor, no fun at all. Fey was great; so was Baldwin. Loved Mark W too; but what was the point of Palin being there? It brought down the whole show. Tina is great, as usual.

OBAMA / BIDEN

Sarah May @ 10/19/2008 at 7:57 am

Savvy move from a not-so-gosh-darn-savvy-woman

DO NOT WANT!

Everyone already explained why they don’t like her. I have nothing more to add but:

Obama 08!

I loved it!

I love how people describe pro life as “against abortion” as if that makes the pro choice side sound better. I think anybody with a heart is against abortion, it’s just that pro choice believes that it’s a hard choice to make and that women should make the choice, not the law. It’s really a difference between what point we think a fetus becomes a human life. I hope nobody is “pro abortion”.

To Amy — #40: Interesting comment. I’m pro-choice, but not “pro-abortion.” I support the morning after pill; and only support abortion in the early stages of the pregnancy, and only after the woman has been counselled on other options she has avaiable to her. I am vehemently opposed to abortion during later phases of pregnancy and partial birth abortions. So that makes me, by definition, “pro-choice.” And you’re right; it has to do with my belief of when the fetus becomes human life; it’s based partly on faith, and partly on the science of biology.

She showed guts fronting up to a show that mocked her - just political campaigning or is she for real? She didn’t actually say anything significant at all.
I thought it was interstesting that she said when interviewed a while back about Tina Fey’s impersonation of her that she watched it with the sound down! Lessens the pain I guess. Maybe that’s how so many men watch her - that sex channel in their brain drowns out what she actually says!

hautebabe @ 10/19/2008 at 8:42 am

I love Sarah Palin. Shows you can be pretty & wholesome, and still be successful in this messed up world we live in. I share her values. Everyone who hates her, hates her values. I find it sad that people, esp. women hate her so much. Oh no, she may stop people from using abortion as birth control? She favors life? Can’t have that! PAALEEEEZZZ!

McCain/Palin ‘08!!!!!

“Im gonna speak for my self now.. but the reason I dont like her, ( I dont hate her ) Is because she wanna take away the womans rights and make this country like Iran. She is Really strict with her religion and wants to force inocent people in to her religion! ( school ), she is against gay marrige,agains abortion, she wanst no sex befor marrige.. etc! She is simply scary and nuts.. She doesn’t wanna let people live their lives as THEY want. She wants people live by the way SHE wants.”

Umm, #7, I don’t think you should get to vote.
Barack Obama opposes gay marriage as well, and I hardly doubt Sarah Palin can make premarital sex illegal.

gRACE sEVERYN @ 10/19/2008 at 8:59 am

Did you notice in the rap song, there were words to the effect that John McCain’s “smile is kinda creepy.” Whether you agree or not, I am stunned that Sarah Palin would smile and clap along with a song that is disrespectful to her running mate. I am a strong Obama/Biden supporter for many reasons (as I believe they stand a much better chance of making this world a more peaceful place). However, the fact that she herself would disrespect McCain in this way makes her sink even lower in my estimation.

@ GeorgiaM - your comment on pro choice is the most articulate and best comment I have come across on the subject..

Very intelligent and very true

GeorgiaM @ 10/19/2008 at 8:18 am

The main reason I don’t like Sarah Palin is that she is a complete air head. She makes George Bush appear quick witted and intellectual.
I don’t care how likable she is as a person. That is just not enough.

But here are just a few other reasons:

- Obviously has no interest in the world (did not have a passport until last year!)
- is “pro life”, even where the woman in question was raped or where her life is in danger.
- Believes in the death penalty
- loves killing animals as a sport (I have nothing against culling overpopulated species, but there is something sick about killing for pleasure)
- Apparently supported the billing of rape victims for pathology tests in the town where she was Mayor
- Apparently influenced officials to sack her ex brother in law
- the “build-the-bridge” scandal
- Apparently does not believe in contraception. That is OK in itself, but she displays a certain lack of responsibility (obviously her daughter knows nothing about contraception, and she allowed herself to become pregnant well into her 40’s - I can only assume this was an unplanned pregnancy, given that SP already had 4 much older children)
- Sacked her town librarian, because she refused to withdraw certain books from the library (I’ve love to know which titles they were)

I could go on, but the main issue really is that she is as dumb as a block of wood, but would be a heart beat away from the presidency !!

I agree with GeorgiaM too. Well said!

SP is entitled to be “pro life”, but this should NOT be a legal doctrine imposed upon the entire fertile female population.

[I place “pro life” in quotes, because people who are “pro life”, usually also believe in the death penalty, which I would have thought is the opposite of being pro life).

ha i love sarah palin

I loved her..she was awesome lol….I mean there’s no reason to hate Palin…you might not agree on her political decisions or arguments or views but she seems pretty cool.

palin power @ 10/19/2008 at 9:39 am

steph..thank you for addressing lolz. It is “scary” that this person could possibly vote.

I am so tired of people blaming the government (both sides) on the problems of this country. We need to blame all the individuals who extended their credit so far that they knew they would never be able to pay it off. All those people making $40,000 a year then going and buying a $300,000 house. Just because someone will give you the credit, does not mean you need to use it. It’s just easier for people to blame soemone else other than themselves.

I’m also tired of people using the term “scary and nuts” to describe Palin. I guess if you respectfully fight for human life and love your country and god, you are “scary and nuts”. Please…

In regards to she doesn’t want people to live their lives, I guess Obama taxing those who have worked 20+ years, 15hour days, 6 days a week, to make $250,000/yr, they should just LOVE the fact that he is now going to take their money and “spread the wealth”. If it talks like a Socailist, and it walks like a Socalist, it is probably a Socailist.

It appears the world is full of idiots.

[☆I n F a m o u s☆] @ 10/19/2008 at 9:54 am

..sarah’s not funny… or hot.

`tina fey for vice pres.!

jd quik00 @ 10/19/2008 at 9:58 am

not funny at all. sarah palin did nothing,giving us a good ideal of what we will get if the macain/palin team is elected……..NOTHING…….

[☆I n F a m o u s☆] @ 10/19/2008 at 10:16 am

mark wahlberg - funny. (even tho i think he was dead serious) LOL

tina fey - always hilarious.

alec baldwin - always funny.

sarah palin - DIDN’T DO ANYTHING.

“Obviously has no interest in the world (did not have a passport until last year!)”

Omg, Seriously? HAHAHAHA.

The only good about Sarah Palin is the Tina Fey sketches!

Too bad for Sarah. I guess the “real America” will miss this skit.
Considering its coming from the “Elite New York media”.

[roll]

She’s physically attractive though has a “shriveled heart” and represents an archaic viewpoint of America and the rest of the World. Bush-Cheney set us back 100 years and the duo of McBush-Pain will set us back 200 years!

America is changing and the boats are flowing down the river! For those who lack the ability to “change” their mindsets and attempt to hold onto the trees, your hands are going to become bloody from hanging onto the branches of the trees as the boats near the rapids!

No more warmongers in the White House!!!!!!!!!

hottest couple ever @ 10/19/2008 at 10:53 am

“If there is anything to karma, I hope that Sarah Palin comes back as a
wolf and gets shot from an airplane”…….B.M.

Obama/Biden 08

Smart move on her part I think. SNL reaches a wide audience.

http://celebritytoday.today.com/

Wasn’t that great. I loved the part with Mark Walhberg though.
I will say she was a good enough sport to go on the show. I will give her that much. But I think Hillary did the same thing.

I don’t think a lot of the posters here understand Palin and her pro life stance or the law.

Access to abortion is currently available under Roe v Wade, which is a federal law that says the choice to have an abortion is protected by a right to privacy. Because it is a FEDERAL law it applies to all states.

I’m a Federalist/Libertarian who tends to vote Republican because I am a fiscal conservative who believes in as little FEDERAL government as reasonably possible.

The plain english for that, and how it affects abortion is that I don’t believe the FEDERAL government should make the law on the issue. I believe the voters in each state should be able to make the law that suits their states (Palin agrees with this). So if the majority of people in California think a woman should have a right to an abortion and it is a private, medical issue - they can vote it to be law. But if the majority of people in Alabama do not support abortion, they can make it illegal in Alabama.

Each state makes the law that the people in that state support. In that scenario, if you live in Alabama, believe in abortion and need access to one, you can get one - just not in Alabama. You go where they are.

That is government by the people.

The President does not make the law on abortion/pro life. Congress enacts legislation, the President signs it into law, and if it is challenged in court, the Supreme Court can review the law to see if it is in line with our Constitution.

Please understand this. It is important for you to know that whether or not you agree with Palin’s views on abortion - if she is elected to VP, she can’t change the law to suit her views!!

It really worries me that so many people confuse social issues with the reality of what a President can and can’t do. Take the time to figure out how it works. Getting a little outline of it from Wiki is better than nothing.

Even though I don’t like her, I think that is nice she doesn’t takes herself too serious/

What? Um… PALIN DIDN’T RAP…. Amy Poehler did! Were we watching the same the show?

Palin just sat there “raising the roof” like an idiot, acting like she’s “hip” while being a good sport on behalf of the jokes about her. It didn’t make her seem anymore appealing. Palin dropping by the ‘Weekend Update’ was POINTLESS on point of the “gag.” SHE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING. They could have done the same thing - with the same impact without Palin showing up…

Sarah is hot @ 10/19/2008 at 11:52 am

The sad thing for Tina, who is younger, is that Sarah Palin really is hotter that her.

If Mcain / Palin prevail. Tina has a new job as Sarah’s double. If Obama wins Sarah has can still have a new job as Tina’s double.

Palin is wonderful. Don’t believe that she’s not smart. This is a common method used to discredit a person so one can ignore the message. Even the ultra liberal feminist Camille Paglia wrote a column about how people are underestimating Palin and that she is not only smart but a good femininist role model for women. It’s on salon.com. See for yourself.

LOVE HER!!

Some of you guys really need to do some more research before you try to bash someone with incorrect infomation.

It’s awesome that Gov. Palin went to SNL and made fun of herself by letting other people make fun of her. She’s a trooper.

and I totally agree with #66, she’s hot, hah!

Palin made a smart move by coming onto SNL. It showed that she doesn’t take herself too seriously, unlike Obama who is a pansy and is like “you can’t make fun of my ears!”. Palin let SNL make fun of her accent, her appearance, her diction, her views, her quotes, etc and she still came on the show, she’s awesome.

BTW I pray to GOD that some of you morons can’t vote.

Wrong move! SNL humiliated her and completely discredited her as a politician. She just looked like more of a bimbo than ever!

LOL!

OK, as Liberal as I am….I actually would like to see 4 more years of Palin

To all Posters,
Does any one find it odd that many of those in favor of Obama /Biden have more hateful words then most Republicans do? Yet they call themselves Peacemakers? They have literally called Palin names since she came on the scene and now we have her appearing on SNL and showing poise, confidence and even courage to smile through it all. (shame on those who would use HATE and spend so much energy in spitting thier venom on all others who don’t agree with the Obamanation stance. ) Thank God our country is still free to express our beliefs and stand for the moral fiber that built our present society to be the most fair Govt system of any other in the World whether you like it or not!
This is why we have those in our own country and accross the sea hating us so much..we do stand for freedom …even if it is tainted at times, it still comes down to the choices we make. Whether it be Pro-Choice, Pro- Life , Pro- War ,Anti- War, Pro- McCain/Palin, Pro- Obama/Biden we still have choices afforded to us from those who gave their lives and shed their own blood for this opportunity…we seem to take for granted at times …..let us not forget nothing comes without cost and our Liberty Bell of Freedom to still ringing. Ringing with the resounding message of “America Land of the Free Home of the Brave”. I would say when you go into the Lions Den and come out smiling you have shown how much strength you’re made of and I would say lastly Sarah Palin may or may not be your choice but at the end of the day she is still smiling in the midst of her advesaries and walking with the Peace of God in her life….That is true strength…and she’s got that right…only wish more Americans got that message…this truly represents Ultimate Love,not hate!
Blessings,
KC

WakeupPeople @ 10/19/2008 at 1:05 pm

SNL she can do becasue she is reading a line chart but Meet the Press she cannot because she will make more of an ass of herself than she has already done! What a douchebag!!

FYI for Chrissie (#49),

You can’t possibly read the DailyKos and think you are getting facts? Those claims about Palin have been debunked ages ago. I’m honestly surprised anyone who has internet access doesn’t know that.

If you go to factcheck.org you can sort out the rumors and truth.

Btw: DailyKos started the rumor that Palin’s son Trig is supposedly really her daughter’s child and Palin faked a pregnancy to keep it secret.

Yah, that is as stupid as it sounds. But people bought into it. Palin was announced McCain’s running mate, and by Monday had to issue a statement that her daughter Bristol is pregnant - and was pregnant before Trig was born.

That is how Sarah Palin’s national spotlight began, with that crap.

For someone who has had an insane amount of mud slung at her, she’s taking it like a big girl. Going on SNL was just cool as cool can be - she laughed along with it and let it roll off her back like water.

That’s some kind of self esteem and class. How I wish some of the “elite” born into a more lucrative economic class had half the innate personal class of Palin.

Absolutely love her. She deserves a lot of credit for doing that show after the way they have portrayed her and her family.

I would absolutely never vote for McCain/Palin but she was a good sport to do the show.

I’ll miss Tina F doing the Palin skits when this election is over.Toooooo funny!

Sarah Palin a feminist role model? HAHAHAHAH That’s one of the funnier things I’ve heard said about her.

Hopefully, in 17 days cutesy Governor Palin can go back to Alaska and finish her job there, while keeping an eye on Russia from her back porch. She certainly has provided some entertaining moments in what should be a very serious political campaign. Tho’ IMO TIna Fey is a much better Sarah Palin, than Sarah herself.

I was on the fence about who to vote for, but McCain’s choice of Palin made my decision for me. If that’s the kind of judgment McCain uses for major decisions, I don’t want him in the White House.

thats what i like @ 10/19/2008 at 4:02 pm

Loved it and LOVED HER!

SarahImpalin @ 10/19/2008 at 4:10 pm

Sarah Sixpack wants to “not blink” in dealing with Putin, bin Ladin and the toughest leaders in the world, but when it comes to a simple press conference, even a fake one on SNL, she blinks. How can you handle KGB agent Putin if you can’t sit down with a reporter for ten minutes?

I think the reason she went on the show is because of her delusional vanity. Millions more people to say how “hot” she is. About as deep as she gets.

SARAH PALIN WAS AWESOME. I love someone who can look right at the idiots that make fun of her and get the last laugh! She is amazing!!!!!!!!

This ***** needs to sit her ass down. She is a racist ***** just like mccain and knows that she will probally end up winning just becasue she is white. All i can say is laugh now becasue no one will be laughing when mccan/ palin messes up the economy even worst than what it already is.

You dont want to vote obama, fine, but you better wake the F…u…k up and realilze Mccain/ Palin is no better.

Lets all sit and watch as this country goes down teh drain w/ another 4 years of republicans in the office.
PS:

just remember if mccain gets sick or crocks is it Palin you really want running this country? I think not

As the election campaign goes along, I really like Sarah Palin more and more!

What a great sense of humor she has!!! Good for her!

she’s probably a good person, but not good enough to go into the whitehouse, let alone, be a president of the US in a heartbeat.

oh by the way jesse, mccain forgot to wear his flagpin TWICE on the debates, whereas, obama had his constantly. ohhhhh….

She was just trying to down-play the embarassement. She KNOWS that what Tina Fey is hurting her reputation and ridiculing her, so by going on SNL herself she’s attempting to tell the public that the portrayal is simple a joke.
.
But it’s not…….so OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Undecided @ 10/19/2008 at 6:32 pm

Palin does NOT want to take away women’s rights…good flippin’ God. I mean JUST because she is a Christian…

OK people…REMEMBER your SENATORS and CONGRESSMEN and WOMEN are the ones to look at and you know what??? The DEMOCRATS are dominate in both…THERE SHOULD BE SERIOUS TERM limits….Ohhh yes….they are the real spenders and liars….

Undecided @ 10/19/2008 at 6:38 pm

AMAZING….Reading these posts….All of you saying the most hateful vile things about Sarah Palin…AND YOU ALL WANT CHANGE? To me you all sound like a bunch a seriously angry uneductated buffoons….I Like OBAMA but his FOLLOWERS? Not so much…the hate that is spewed is so disgusting….and the sexual remarks and then you saying THEY (MCCAIN PALIN) want to take away women’s rights…You all just sexualize Sarah Palin and judge her by the color of her skin…Hmm isn’t that discrimination?? Please.

All i can say is I’m scared for your country as well as the WORLD if this woman becomes vice president or even worse, president.

FED UP WITH YOUR bs @ 10/19/2008 at 7:09 pm

lolz @ 10/19/2008 at 4:10 am You dont know why some people hate her?

Im gonna speak for my self now.. but the reason I dont like her, ( I dont hate her ) Is because she wanna take away the womans rights and make this country like Iran. She is Really strict with her religion and wants to force inocent people in to her religion! ( school ), she is against gay marrige,agains abortion, she wanst no sex befor marrige.. etc! She is simply scary and nuts.. She doesn’t wanna let people live their lives as THEY want. She wants people live by the way SHE wants.

########

LOL! Yourself. Where do people even get this nonsense? Are you just repeating the Obama campaign memo?

You need a reality check.

Palin was asked to impose her personal opinions on the people of Alaska legislatively by both anti-gay rights activists and by pro-lifers. Both times Palin refused to do so citing a legal and constitutional basis for refusing these requests. So far her personal views have stayed just that - her personal views. President Clinton himself noted that Palin has refused to give in to those demands and refuse to impose her personal beliefs on others.

Against gay marriage? So is Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Barack Obama has a history of closet homophobia and only recently started sounding more amenable to the LGBT community.

Women’s rights? Ask Obama why he pays the women in his Senate office less than he pays the men. Ask Obama about his opposition to a woman’s absolute right to abortion. Obama does not believe in that or support that. Obama believes in restrictions on the right to abortion. Ask Obama about the misogynistic assaults waged against his female opponents in this presidential campaign.

Forcing people to live a certain way? Ask Barack Obama why he went to Kenya to campaign for the presidency of Raila Odinga and why his Friends of Obama contributed $950,000 US to Odinga’s campaign.

This great friend of Obama, Odinga, wants to turn Kenya from a strong, front line U.S. ally in the war on terror to a safe haven for terrorists. Odinga has pledged not to turn over terrorists for prosecution. In return for Muslim backing Odinga signed a memorandum of Understanding with Sheik Abdullahi Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum. The Memorandum promised to impose a number of Muslim demands on Kenyans if Odinga were elected president. Such as recognition of “Islam as the only true religion,” Islamic leaders would have an “oversight role to monitor activities of ALL OTHER RELIGIONS,” installation of Shariah courts in every jurisdiction, a ban on Christian preaching, replacement of the police commissioner who “allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists,” adoption of a women’s dress code, and bans on alcohol and pork.

You want scary? Well, there it is. This is the naivete and appalling lack of good judgment of Barack Obama. His interference and cooperation in helping Odinga reach power may be one of the best reasons why he is no where near ready to be President of the United States - if he will ever be.

Raila Odinga has admitted to participating in the bloody coup attempt in 1982 against then-President Daniel Arap Moi, a close ally of the United States. Kenya has been one of the most stable democracies in Africa since the 1960s.

Following the recent presidential election where Odinga lost there was ethnic cleansing by Odinga supporters earlier in 2008 - that means the murders of innocent men, women and children and the displacment of some 500,000 Kenyans as well as ruined villages. This ethnic cleansing by supporters of Odinga was the worst violence in Kenya since that 1982 coup attempt .

Kenya can kiss goodbye its long history of democracy and as a strong US ally. Thanks, Barack. Al Qaida can look forward to using Kenya as a foothold into more of Africa and as its safe haven.

Obama’s judgment is seriously called into question when he backs an official with troubling & dangerous ties to Muslim extremists and whose supporters practice ethnic cleansing and genocide. It was Islamic extremists in Kenya who bombed the U.S. Embassy in 1998, killing more than 200 and injuring thousands. None of this has dissuaded Obama from maintaining ties to Odinga.

Your condemnation of Sarah Palin is laughable in the face of Obama’s lack of experience and judgment in foreign affairs alone.

mccain/palin 08

forget the haters!

NOBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

it’s odd how she’s SOOO into it. I think she should tone it down a bit consider she has an image to uphold. and basically she comes off a little too soccer mom, past cheerleader for me.

I am glad someone finally brought up the mess in Kenya I have been doing alot of web surfing today to get facts about this travisty. From everything I have seen, (not Heard) it is very apparent that Obama has some questions to answer about his supposed cousin who is protesting and fueling riots, rapes, murders with hatchets and church burnings…..correct me if I am wrong, but has anyone seen any media coverage on this or is this a media hush order ….I have a feeling if this comes out to the blind public then there may be a different outcome on Nov 4th. I just can’t understand how the news media is so biased to some and to others give them a free get out of jail card.

Not exactly. The president nominates judges for appointments to the Supreme Court. The majority of a Senate vote has to be realized in order to approve this appointment. Palin stated during the debate that she wants to look at the “flexibility” in the Constitution that would give broader powers to the VP positon; meaning more power over the Senate in order to “make sure the President’s goals are realized.” Pretty scary stuff. By the way; the next president gets to appoint three new judges to the Supreme Court. Overturning Roe v Wade is a definite possibility.

I’m a member of Salon.com; and the comments about Palin, for the most part, are not positive at all. The articles do not spout hatred, but are quite intelligent; they have examined her actual record during her past 18 months as governor, and it doesn’t agree with what the McCain campaign maintains. You should read these articles. Very enlightening.

To KC:

Like the get-out-of-jail free card about Todd Palin who was a member of the secessionist party for years? I don’t see what a distant cousin of Obama’s has anyting to do with him; he has a large family. It’s more “guilt by distant association” that is just unfair.

Alec Baldwin was dissing her in her face, funny how he backpedaled when he realized it was the real Sarah Palin! McCain/Palin08!

Do you even have a clue abot what you are talking about? It doesn’t seem like you do.

Barack Obama went to Kenya and traveled throughout Kenya WITH Raila Odinga and campaigned for Odinga’s presdidency. Obama’s theme in his pro-Odinga speeches during his Kenyan visit was “CHANGE.” Have we heard that before? So interchangable. So philosophically frugal why it’s almost green.

Before and after Obama’s visit to Kenya - on US tax payers’ dollars I might add - Obama was in close contact with Odinga. Odinga was conferring with Obama campaign people on tactics for Odinga’s presidential campaign as well as meeting with Obama’s fundraisers during Odinga’s visits to the US when he also always visited with Obama himself. Obama’s fundraising group, Friends of Obama, gave Odinga $950,000 US for Odinga’s presidential campaign.

Is that close enough of an “association” for you? Obama’s campaigning for Odinga gave a tremendous boost to Odinga’s campaign. He was not a close contender before Obama’s Kenyan jaunt.

Even after Odinga’s supporters began a murderous campaign of ethnic cleansing Obama did not reassess his support of this disaster of a foreign “leader.” Odinga was offered and took the seat of Prime Minister [#2 in power] when, unlike all the other opposition leaders, he refused to meet with the President of Kenya to stop the bloodshed.

So Odinga as able to steal his position and political power by using unethical, immoral and illegal tactics.

And as for the Alaskan Secessionist party - please don’t make me laugh. Do you know how many states have organizations like that? I have yet to hear any advocacy of violence or blowing up buildings or bombing and murdering police officers or enlisted men and their families at dances in New Jersey. I believe that the party official said Todd Palin only attended a few meetings and was not actively involved. So what’s your point? Why would he need a get out of jail free card?. You must be confusing him with Billy Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn.

In a similar adn more humorous vein, I at one time was a proud supporter of the Conch party which advocated Key West seceding from the rest of the country. hey didn’t want to share their key lime pie or gorgeous sunsets with the rest of those wankers. LOL!

Dont forget… it is easy (compartively) to believe in abortion, but you must remember that we will all be judged someday. Abortion is murder. The truth is still the truth. Read your Bible. God is still God. Believe in Jesus,repent, and you will be forgiven of your sins. Sarah Palin is correct in her beliefs. God has given man dominion over the animals (Genesis 1:28). Sarah Palin is a strong woman who knows that God sent her a special child for a reason, which is God’s own reason. Godly women can bear such things. Sarah Palin is especially blessed, since she is bearing much more.

I just dont understand how some of you people can actually like sarah palin as a candidate for the vice president. As you can see she is a joke. Tina Fey reads actual transcripts from Palin word by word and people laugh throughout every line.
Unless you are a CEO or an OIl person, then why would you even be considering being a republican at this time. You have seen how republican policies have drove this economy into the worst recession since the great depression.
I’m not saying Mccain isn’t a smart politician, but this is a time for a real Change. Vote Obama! take back your freedom.

To fedup with your BS

Your facts are completely wrong; is this more nonsense that you read from the nasty Internet e-mails that are chain mailed through the Internet from the McCain campaign? Sounds like more blog nonsense to smear Obama, like “he’s not a US citizen,” and “palls around with terrorists.” Complete and utter nonsense. I have to agree with Anon.

As far as Ms.Palin is concerned, she apparently has a lot to answer for when she returns to Alaska; factual matters such as abusing her power; violating state ethics codes; breaking the trust of her constituents. I have no doubt after researching her record, that more will undoubtedly follow. I was also not surprised, after doing a lot of research, to read this:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081014/ap_on_el_pr/palin_state_ethics;_ylt=ApJaijNfkRs_xYsHuIfDYpSs0NUE

I have nothing against Ms. Palin. But by no stretch of the imagination, is she qualified to be VP or president of this country.

To all Voters,

I do not consider my self a member of any particular party. I have voted for many Dems and Repubs and Independents because I do not believe any Party always has the answer to every challenge. I grew up in a very Pro Democratic home and family. My father was very active in the Democratic party, but I have seen so much dishonor and shortsidedness accross party lines, that I am first and foremost not moved just because of party, race, gender or age. I have been born in the greatest country in the world with a right to free speech. I don’t want to lose this right among many others that my founding Fathers put in place to enable me to keep my government in check. Many in Congress would like to have more power over the people and this is an agenda thats been around for a while now.
This election is a very important one for our Nation it is about money for many, for others it is a payback for rights taken, for others it is a about belief, and then others it is ALL about Power. Ultimate Power can be enticing for some, for me it’s about character and integrity and my belief in GOD. I believe in TRUTH and this is my yard stick by which I measure my decision at the voting booth. You can say what you want about me I don’t care, but everything that is coming to light all over the place about ALL the candidates should not be discounted just because you are gonna vote for your man……you and I owe it to each other to seek out the Truth in all this mess and not defend someone just because. Let’s face it do we really know what our candidates lifestyles are? Do you know for certain Obama is guiltless on all accounts? Do we know that McCain is really ready to be President? Do we really know the Full Truth about All these things? I challenge ALL of us to not just fire something back just because we can, naturally we want to defend our Party. I do encourage you to VOTE…but I also challenge you to use your God given minds to seek the TRUTH and vote what your heart dictates not a Party or someone else. Lets face it TWO MEN want OUR VOTES! When people want something from you they will do every thing in their POWER to get IT!!! Let us not forget this…WE ARE AMERICANS and we live in a Country where we get to VOTE! Our Economy SUCKS our Nation is AT WAR we Have problems that look dire, but WE will survive because we can! I am serious about the inportance of Us making a difference in our country and World, but I want TRUTH and ALL parties have lied to get my VOTE. It’s up to me to decide who I can give my vote too and whomever that turns out to be they need to realize I am entrusting them with one of my RIghts! I hope and pray that this spurs critical thinking when it comes to NOV 4th….One of the greatest choices you have been given….VOTE!

Check out this funny Obama skit:

I LOVE The Ting Tings…good use of the song!

I was told that if I voted for Sarah Palin we’d get an idiot for vice president. I voted for her and what do you know? We have an idiot for vice president.

To be fair about it, the guy at the top isn’t all that swift either.
