Palin Claiming Dems Spreading Lies
Huh, a bit funny if you ask me. Palin, in less than a week, is whining about how the Dems are spreading lies and rumors about her and her family. Is it not her and her party who have been spending about two years brainwashing people into believing Obama is a Muslim even though that has been proven time and again to be 100% false? Is it not her party and ticket partner who have been claiming Obama is not patriotic enough because he doesn’t wear a flag pin (where is YOUR pin, Mr. McCain?). Is this woman not part of the same party that was so quick to jump all over Obama having little experience and yet, when one dares to compare his record to hers, Obama is accused of being sexist? Is this not the same party that had no problem attacking Hillary for being a woman, for crying on camera and telling her she had to toughen up if she was going to play with the boys and run for President? Well, Ms. Palin, the same goes for you. You knew what this was all about when you agreed to run for VP. You knew your daughter would be internationally humilated in the spotlight to further your career - what kind of mother does that to her daughter? You knew that ever little thing you and your family have ever done, said or thought would be brought to light. Did you think that somehow you would be immune just because you are a Republican? You joined this race so YOU now need to toughen up and deal with it. There is no double standard for women running for office.
As for the lies. First of all, it was the independent bloggers who did a bit of research and found the actual Alaska newspaper story that clearly states Ms. Palin only told her staff she was ‘pregnant’ when she was supposedly in her 7th month - and no one on her staff that worked with her day in and day out had a clue? It was in the Alaska newspaper that the story of her amazing birth was recorded as fact - in her own words. That she was in Texas when she went into labor. That she stayed and gave that speech in the afternoon without bothering to go to a doctor or hospital. That she flew home from Texas to Alaska, with a layover in Seattle, while ‘in labor’ and proceded to drive yet another hour outside of Anchorage to Wasilla to give birth. She waited 20 hours, flew nearly 11 hours on a plane, to give birth? I’ve never known any baby that waited until it was convenient for its mother to pop out. How, Ms. Palin, is that a rumor when the newspapers quoted you, in your own words, in recollecting the story only four months ago? How is it a rumor that you only applied for a passport a year ago and have only travelled to Ireland and Germany and refer to the country you may be running as the ‘lower 48′. A little history lesson for you - we were here first. Alaska was not added until the 1950’s. How is it a rumor that you and your husband are members of a group pushing to gain Alaska’s independence away from the US? What kind of patriot is that? What kind of leader of the entire country is that?
How is it a rumor that you fired a top staff member when he refused to, on your command, fire your ex brother-in-law (a state trooper) who was in the middle of a nasty custody battle with your sisiter? How is it a rumor when you just hired a lawyer as this is heading to court as we write? It is listed as fact.
How is it a rumor that when you became mayor of Wasilla (population 9000) you fired the sheriff and another official simply because they did not agree with your political views and was even taken to court and, somehow, you won and the judge said that yes, you can fire people who don’t agree with you - what blackmail did you have on that judge, Ms. Palin?
How is it rumor that your only degree is a Bachelors in Journalism? How is it a rumor that you were runner up for Miss Alaska? How is it a rumor that you were a tv anchor when the video is all over the internet and news now?
How is it a rumor that your husband no longer works and is a four time snowmobile champion? How is it a rumor that you will take away a woman’s right to choose - that same right that somehow you seemed to allow your own daughter but will happily take that choice away from everyone else’s daughter?
No, Ms. Palin, the ‘rumors’ against you are not rumors but facts. Perhaps you should have thought about scrubbing the internet BEFORE you made your announcement. And this is all facts that have only come out in less than a week? What other skeletons are you hiding? Is Trig really Track’s son? Seems a bit stranger that a young girl is holding Trig right after he was born while sitting and you are standing over her peering over the chair like a proud grandmother and the caption states ‘my mom in law’. For those who care, another blogger grabbed the page of pictures off of one of Bristol’s friends myspace pages before that one, too, went private.
Ms. Palin, you are a disgrace to women, a disgrace to democracy yet the shining example of what the current Republicans stand for - do as we say and we want you do to but stay out of our lives where we do everything we tell you not to.
