佩林的提名是给民主党一个响亮的大耳光

(2008-09-05 06:46:49) 下一个

                          

一个自誉为少数民族, 劳动人民, 和广大妇女撑腰的民主党,居然从上到下对一个有5个孩子的母亲,一个出身于中产阶级家庭的职业妇女,一个老公是工会成员,儿子要上前线,自己还生了个有智障的高龄产妇,进行造谣中伤,无情打击。可见民主党左派极端分子都是些什么货色。说他们是乌合之众真是便宜他们了。

佩林在美国共和党和保守派里早就名声显赫。MCCAIN在6个月前就对她进行背景调查,一个月以前就定她为候选人。保密工作之滴水不漏也只有MCCAIN这样的老英雄才能做到。

相反,民主党党部在最后阶段硬是把有1800万选民支持的HILLARY逼出局,把一个能说会道的奥巴马给推上来。

这个口口声声说要改革, 到处说HILLARY好话的奥巴马, 在考虑VP候选人时根本就没考虑她,连个电话解释都没有。

而MCCAIN提名佩林让美国人清楚地看到,谁在改革,谁在把美国往前推。

佩林让美国人看到真正的女强人是什么样的。一个五个孩子的母亲真的可以, 并且可能, 有一天成为美国总统。

佩林把PELOSI和HILLARY彻底比下去了。

                    



可以说,如果佩林是民主党,她绝不会有今天。PELOSI会比对HILLARY更狠地把她打压下去。

一个理论上应该是民主党的女州长居然是个坚定的保守派共和党,在被民主党说成有钱男人俱乐部的共和党里脱颖而出,一步登天,成了副总统提名人,她将会成为新的妇女在政治上的代言人。

佩林的提名让民主党方寸大乱。先是不知如何对付,接着就开始对PALIN和她的家人给予无情的讽刺和造谣惑众。媒体,特别是那些所谓笑星,更是讲一些有性暗示的下流笑话,来污蔑中伤一个母亲。

一些民主党妇女代表人物和支持民主党的一些著名的自由派女权主义者, 也不顾一切地, 对一个真能为妇女在政治领域里为妇女说话的母亲进行讽刺挖苦。

有人说,这下可算让人深刻明白了民主党左派不过是些叶公好龙的伪君子了。

其实老毛早就点破民主党这个真面目了。

要我看,关键还是在于共和党这次做了属于民主党本来应该做的好事。

佩林的提名给了这帮伪君子一记响亮的耳光!

gq 回复 悄悄话 奥巴马-美国革命-造神运动

作者:ivyqi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
如果再有一黑人 喊出“More Changes”,我们是否选他还是Obama?

数月前,当肯尼迪(Edward Kennedy )在一竞选集会上带领众人引吭高歌“Obama is our sunshine(奥巴马是我们的阳光)”,我们情不自禁地回想起我们伟大祖国的嘹亮颂歌“东方红,太阳升,中国出了个毛泽东”,仿佛回到了风雷激荡的文 化大革命时代。
既使我们中国已不再搞大体育场或广场之类的大型群众集会,美国数百年也未曾有过。但是,今年是美国革命年,一切的一切都变了,因为我们迎来了美国乃至世界的大救星—Barack Hussein Obama(吧那个.侯赛因. 奥巴马)。上周,我们美国80,000人民在Pepsi 大体育场, 洗耳恭听 Messiah奥巴马的声调一浪高过一浪的布道与训导。(估计如能当选美国总统, 要像当年毛泽东天安门上检阅百万红卫兵一样,在华盛顿举行百万人的 就职典礼和大游行。美国乃至全世界放假一个月,以示隆重庆祝!)

Change,Change, Change, 听上去就像祈祷一样,不过我们祈祷,多有事求。而我始终不知这祈祷Change的内涵。奥巴马从未给出答案。我也问过很多人,让他/她们给我列出若干具体的Change,无人能给出一个。奥巴马究竟要 Change 什么???把Chicago的腐败政治带到华盛顿?将他的老婆工资再涨160%倍?再写信给国会拨款给Rizco,然后再让Rizco 送他一套Mansion? 我想奥巴马所要的最核心的Change是,通过这场造神运动,把他Change 成美国总统。

但问题是,他从未领导过一个哪怕最小的行政单位,又没有任何可以夸耀的成就,(在Illinois , 他在超过170项议案上投了 present,在参议院他未有一个提案)他这样一个既无经验,无作为,又无建树,更无道德的人(有很多历史疑点待查),如何让人相信他? 极左翼民主党头目们让我们投他的票,仅仅因为他的半黑的皮肤??

如果选了他,不就只是促进了整容业的发展, 越来越多的人Change自己的肤色成黑色,去享受AA 法去上Ivy 名校,去享受黑人才能独享的种种照顾,去所向披靡地去参选总统?

如果选了他,不就是鼓励政治投机,投机取巧吗? 如果再过 若干年,再有一个初出茅庐的黑人振臂一呼,喊出“More Changes”, 我们是不是要再次响应极左翼民 主党头目们的号召,呼拥而上,再造化一个比奥巴马 更耀眼的新神?

有鉴于此,我以及我的朋友们准备在在今年的大选中投McCain/Palin的票,理由如下:

(1) McCain是个英雄,心口如一,光明磊落。Palin是和我们一样的平民出身,敢和邪恶腐 败势力抗争,正派清廉,政绩斐然。

(2)我们无法Trust Obama ,他从哪里来?他要把美国往哪里带?他是一个美国自建国以来最无经验,也未经过vetting的总统侯选人。左翼媒体 从一开始就给了他a Free Pass, 这在美国历史上是极为罕见的。主流媒体本身就是一个值得探究的Story, 彻底改变了我们对主流媒体的印象。左翼主流媒体对奥巴马的明目张胆的纵容与偏袒和奥巴马对Clintons的无理攻讦,漫骂与詆毁,这些也是促使我们投奥巴马反对票的原因之一。
如果他是一个非黑人(其实他是一半白人),我们也不会投他的票。

(3) 追溯美国历史,从未有极左翼民主党人或极右翼共和党人赢得总统大选。原因之一,极端化的总统侯选人会 激发 对立面Base的投票热情。

原因之二,Independents中间选民不喜欢极端化的总统侯选人。奥巴马是一极左翼民主党人,所以大量右翼共和党人和中间选民会蜂拥而出,去投共和党的票。

(4) 历史证明,国会与总统不宜属与同一政党。看看Polosi等领导的众参两院低至9%的Approval Rate,是数十年来通过立法最少的国会,而Polosi一直力挺奥巴马,你就知到道再选一个奥巴马会有多大的危险。(不过对中国或许是个利好,因为“海龟”回流会大幅增加。)

(5) 从来没有救世主,不要太相信政客。政客越是信誓旦旦,花言巧语,越是要警惕。 奥巴马的满嘴跑火车,语言花花緑緑,开得空头支票最多,但就是无真实内容,还经常根据形势需要,改变自己的说法(这也是他标榜的Change, we can)。

(6) 奥巴马是民主党历史上最大的分裂者,他已使很多老民主党人丧失信心,造成了影响久远的混乱。我们所知道的不少人因这次初选已决定脱离民主党。(感谢Clintons的大度与Grace,否则*党的情形会更糟。如果尊敬的读者知道EdwardKennedy与 Carter的1980初选,而后Carter惨败给Regan 这一段史实,就会知道我所说的缘由。 )

P.S. 我有个同事他的名字中也含有Hussein(侯赛因), 他最近叮嘱我和他的其它同事,不要再喊他Hussein, 因为奥巴马也不让叫了。估计Hussein 会很快从字典中删除,也好,少记一个单词。:=)

Bulebarry 回复 悄悄话 Reagan was the best president of USA. His son wrote this article. What do you(Obama's Fans) think about Palin after you read it?

Welcome Back Dad
By Michael Reagan September 4, 2008

I've been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan to emerge and lead our party and our nation. I insisted that we'd never see his like again because he was one of a kind.

I was wrong!

Wednesday night I watched the Republican National Convention on television and there, before my very eyes, I saw my Dad reborn; only this time he's a she.

And what a she!

In one blockbuster of a speech, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin resurrected my Dad's indomitable spirit and sent it soaring above the convention center, shooting shock waves through the cynical media's assigned spaces and electrifying the huge audience with the kind of inspiring rhetoric we haven't heard since my Dad left the scene.

This was Ronald Reagan at his best -- the same Ronald Reagan who made the address known now solely as "The Speech," which during the Goldwater campaign set the tone and the agenda for the rebirth of the traditional conservative movement that later sent him to the White House for eight years and revived the moribund GOP.

Last night was an extraordinary event. Widely seen beforehand as a make-or-break effort -- either an opportunity for Sarah Palin to show that she was the happy warrior that John McCain assured us she was, or a disaster that would dash McCain's presidential hopes and send her back to Alaska, sadder but wiser.

Obviously un-intimidated by either the savage onslaught to which the left-leaning media had subjected her, or the incredible challenge she faced -- and oozing with confidence -- she strode defiantly to the podium and proved she was everything and even more than John McCain told us.

Much has been made of the fact that she is a woman. What we saw last night, however, was something much more than a just a woman accomplishing something no Republican woman has ever achieved. What we saw was a red-blooded American with that rare, God-given ability to rally her dispirited fellow Republicans and take up the daunting task of leading them -- and all her fellow Americans -- on a pilgrimage to that shining city on the hill my father envisioned as our nation's real destination.

In a few words she managed to rip the mask from the faces of her Democratic rivals and reveal them for what they are -- a pair of old-fashioned liberals making promises that cannot be kept without bankrupting the nation and reducing most Americans to the status of mendicants begging for their daily bread at the feet of an all-powerful government.

Most important, by comparing her own stunning record of achievement with his, she showed Barack Obama for the sham that he is, a man without any solid accomplishments beyond conspicuous self-aggrandizement.

Like Ronald Reagan, Sarah Palin is one of us. She knows how most of us live because that's the way she lives. She shares our homespun values and our beliefs, and she glories in her status as a small-town woman who put her shoulder to the wheel and made life better for her neighbors.

Her astonishing rise up from the grass-roots, her total lack of self-importance, and her ordinary American values and modest lifestyle reveal her to be the kind of hard-working, optimistic, ordinary American who made this country the greatest, most powerful nation on the face of the earth.

As hard as you might try, you won't find that kind of plain-spoken, down-to-earth, self-reliant American in the upper ranks of the liberal-infested, elitist Democratic Party, or in the Obama campaign.

Sarah Palin didn't go to Harvard, or fiddle around in urban neighborhood leftist activism while engaging in opportunism within the ranks of one of the nation's most corrupt political machines, never challenging it and going along to get along, like Barack Obama.

Instead she took on the corrupt establishment in Alaska and beat it, rising to the governorship while bringing reforms to every level of government she served in on her way up the ladder.

Welcome back, Dad, even if you're wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.

当然,以两次选择布什来看,美国人在确定雇谁来当家这个问题上确实不那么聪明。这次也不排除他们出昏着,比如看重信仰纯洁性,性取向优劣性,和胚胎是生命的人门还是会投共和党地。难怪共和党的候选人比赛着保守:一个说,我很保守;另一个说,哼,我比你还保守。

美国号称世界最强最富,那是指那些垄断资本家,或许至少要象麦凯恩那样娶个千万富翁的女儿--你才不用为普通医疗和教育发愁。可怜的美国人到现在也没有“全民健保“ -- 这是台湾的说法,台湾是一夜之间改变的,靠什么????税收呀,而且大多是有钱人纳税。。。看看欧洲,特别是北欧,甚至美国的北方穷亲戚加拿大,你就相信劫富济贫是真的 --全民医疗保健,老年人和孩子更是被照顾的无微不至, 这是一个现代发达社会保障系统必须的 -- 当然,还要监督政府不乱花钱。

别为了口袋里的一点点钱而断送了你的孩子们享受更福利社会的机会。。。也是为什么我们要选择奥巴马、克林顿,而不是再让布什政府执政下去。。。
noso 回复 悄悄话 Palin Slams Expose the Real Democrats

Friday, September 12, 2008 3:01 PM

By: Dick Morris & Eileen McGann

For two weeks, Democrats and their media allies have leveled scorching fire at Sarah Palin. It's not having much effect, but they keep at it anyway.

The latest Fox News poll shows Palin with a 54-27 favorable/unfavorable ratio, which compares well with Barack Obama's 57-36, John McCain's 60-33 and Joe Biden's 51-29. (Of the four, she's the most popular).

Why do Democrats feel so threatened? They've even stopped attacking McCain and President Bush to launch a vicious and sexist barrage at her that would normally make a feminist angry and a Democrat blush.

Basically, it's this: John McCain only endangers Democratic chances of victory this November, but Sarah Palin is an existential threat to the Democratic Party.

She threatens a core element of the party's base — women.

When African-Americans like Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell, or Condi Rice rise to prominence as a Republican, they endanger the Democratic coalition. So would a Republican labor leader.

And so, above all, does the woman Republican running for vice president.

Democrats can't stomach seeing the feminist movement's impetus for greater female political participation and empowerment "hijacked" by a pro-life woman who espouses traditional values. They must obliterate her, lest her popularity eat away at their party's core.

So the Democrats are hysterical in their attacks on her. South Carolina's Democratic Party chairwoman, Carol Fowler (wife of a national party chairman), said that the only qualification Palin had for vice president was that she hadn't had an abortion. Tabloids are digging up dirt on Palin's children. And liberal bloggers have suggested that Palin would neglect her children if she were elected (while the Democratic candidate has young children at home, too).

That liberals would resort to such blatant sexism shows their desperation.

But the Fox News poll of Sept. 8-9 indicates a deeper reality of Palin's popularity. On the question of which of the four candidates best understands what day-to-day life is like in America, Palin finished first, with 33 percent. (Obama drew 32 percent, McCain 17 percent and Biden 10 percent.)

She's not popular because she's a radical feminist or pro-choice advocate. It's because she understands what it's like to be a woman in 21st century America.

She's never ascended to the elite, so she doesn't need to stoop to conquer as most well-heeled feminist leaders must. She lives far from the plastic pseudo-reality where a fossilized ideology substitutes for human compassion and empathy. As such, she rises above the slogans of both the left and the right and proposes to bring to Washington a dose of reality — a taste of real life.

She may become the first woman in national office, yet the Democrats, feminists and liberals can't control her, and that burns them up.

Elections come and go, but Palin is a far more fundamental threat to the Democratic Party. And that's why they fear her so.

而MCCAIN提名佩林让美国人清楚地看到,谁在改革,谁在把美国往前推。”

-- 你是说那个政党推出了女性候选人就是进步???错!!!麦凯恩推出的不是代表自由进步的女性,反而是退步保守的女性 -- 即使年轻漂亮也不能掩盖这一点,这性别无关。。麦凯恩是想以假乱真。哈哈!

-- 没有一个电话之类的就不要乱猜了。我也对希拉里最后没有胜出有些遗憾,但这就是游戏规则。至少大面上,克林顿夫妇显示了风度勇气和对这个政党的忠诚 -- 表现无懈可击!!!

但更重要的是我们支持克林顿的政策。对比一下,难道麦凯恩更接近希拉里???

共和党主政下,经济一塌糊涂,单边外交在外面树敌无数,信贷危机,石油危机,更不要说靠编瞎话发动对伊拉克的战争,明目张胆地中饱私囊。

我想问问NASO,你是对目前美国的困境一无所知呢?还是选择性耳聋???你说你是支持佩林的反堕胎政策,鼓励枪械政策,还是伊拉克战争是上帝旨意的政策,或者她完全不知道副总统的职责是什么,或者她前后矛盾的“bridge to nowhere"项目,还有现在扮可怜,独自不愿面对媒体的态度。

麦凯恩要为他的:Beauty Queen选择付出代价的,

当然,谢谢你花时间写文章,我们才有机会就此辩论。
thelost 回复 悄悄话 那谁的责任大呢?
其实这不是重点,重点是谁会让过去的八年重复或变得更糟。
说是民主党国会的责任,谁信呢,即便是,那共和党再上台还不是和以前一样。辩来辩去,还不如吸取教训。

最佳党选:民主党〉共和党
最佳人选:希拉莉〉麦卡恩〉佩林〉奥巴马
但国家还是靠政党而不是总统

博主确实有攻击的味道,语气更是不敬,心胸不够。

过去的八年只证明了共和党的失败吗?民主党的国会就没有责任??
我不认为博主攻击民主党,写的都是事实。每个人都有观点,只要讲道理,没有善不善,齿不齿的问题。至于“政客“看不出哪位有资格。

noso 回复 悄悄话 回复thelost的评论:

您继续揭发,这大帽子挺好,您留着自己用吧,开批斗会我就不去了。

佩林加油!
thelost 回复 悄悄话 博主不仅是小气,更是不善。
以前没看出来,但在大选期间变了一个人,天天鼓吹共和党,跟政客没什么两样。现在如此攻击民主党,让人不齿。

两党各有长短,没有悬殊的好坏。过去的八年证明了共和党的失败,民主党这次应该胜出,但选人不当,共和党投机取巧,以佩林这绣花枕头突其不意,蒙蔽人心。将来真是难以预料,若是共和党当选,博主自然得意,大多数人自认倒霉吧了。

回复laojie的评论:

there is no set definition of the "Bush Doctrine." Neither George Bush nor anyone in his Administration ever defined the putative Bush Doctrine. There has been an accumulation of ideas and principles that have been layered over the years and that the term the "Bush Doctrine" supposedly defines.

Now, what do you expect her to answer:

"yes I support?"

You can't support something you don't even know what it is.

Palin did a great job to let Gibson define the meaning of "Bush Doctrine" again.

This term is first time mentioned in media ever, no one knows what Gibson was talking about if he didn't explain what he meant.

noso 回复 悄悄话 NEW YORK (CNN) -- Campaigns are ugly. Watching the way politicians act makes you long for the respect and self-control of the Sopranos. Throughout, there are legitimate attacks and outright lies.

Every once in a while, I get a call on my radio show from someone telling me that Barack Obama is secretly a Muslim, who admitted it in an interview with George Stephanopoulos, and has a fake birth certificate. No, no, and no. As I tell them, there are legitimate reasons not to vote for Barack Obama, no need to make them up.

But the newest target is Sarah Palin. Let's take a quick look at just a fraction of what she has faced in her first few days as John McCain's choice for vice president. iReport.com: Do you think Palin is being treated unfairly?

"Sarah Palin believes God told her to go to war with Iraq!"

There has been some hard-core journalistic malpractice on this one. The Associated Press ran this headline about a speech she gave at her church: "Palin: Iraq war 'a task that is from God'"

In the story, they omit the first part of the sentence they're quoting along with the entire previous sentence for good measure.

Here are her actual words: "Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending them out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."

Palin is clearly praying that we're doing the right thing in Iraq, something sensible for an introspective woman of faith concerned about the lives of our troops to do. She's not saying that she just received a text message from heaven's BlackBerry ordering her to launch missiles. Sorry to disappoint you.

And for those of you who think politicians asking God for guidance is offensive, might I remind you of this famous politician's prayer:

"Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will." --Barack Obama

"She has no experience!"

It's fair to assume that Barack Obama believed he was qualified to be in the White House when he announced he was running for president. At that point, he had been a U.S. Senator for 767 days. When Sarah Palin was announced as a vice presidential candidate, she had been the governor of Alaska for 634 days.

While I'm sure those extra 133 days were filled with personal discovery, I can't imagine anyone seriously trying to make the case that Obama is experienced and Palin isn't.

Unless, of course, you're Matt Damon, who said a Palin presidency would be a really "scary thing" because she has been "governor of Alaska for...for less than two years!" (Damon originally expressed his presidential preference for Obama in December 2006, when he had been a senator for less than two years.)

More importantly, Palin's career has been filled with executive experience. She's the only one of the four in this race who has run a business, town, and/or state (a state that gives her crucial energy experience in the middle of an energy crisis).

When Obama's campaign complains that Palin would be one heartbeat away from the presidency, they should consider that their candidate would be zero heartbeats away.

"But Obama is running a huge campaign -- Palin was just a small town mayor!"

Believe it or not, this one was actually trotted out by Obama himself.

"My understanding is, is that Gov. Palin's town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We've got 2,500 in this campaign. I think the budget is maybe $12 million a year. We have a budget of about three times that just for the month."

Apparently, Barack missed that she's become the governor of Alaska in the interim. Why would he compare his current duties with her former duties?

Well, since he announced his candidacy, Barack Obama has raised about $22 million a month. That's a large organization for sure, unless you are directly comparing it to Sarah Palin, who is handling state revenues that are about 61 times as large, or more than $1.3 billion per month.

"Palin only supports abstinence to be taught in sex-ed!"

This claim is usually followed by a super classy comment about her daughter and the use of contraception, but the premise is false. Palin hasn't said she doesn't want condoms discussed in sex-ed, calling their discussion "relatively benign."

"I'm pro-contraception, and I think kids who may not hear about it at home should hear about it in other avenues. So I am not anti-contraception. But, yeah, abstinence is another alternative that should be discussed with kids. I don't have a problem with that," Palin said. Hers is hardly an extreme point of view in America today.

"If she cares about children with special needs, then why did she cut spending on them by 62 percent?"

Actually, Palin almost tripled their funding in only three years from $26,900 per student to $73,840 per student.

Incidentally, the amount of government money you spend on a specific group doesn't equal the amount you care for that group, but that's another story for another column.

All of these represent just a small percentage of the bizarre collection of claims being thrown at Palin by her opponents and some in the media -- who are desperately hoping something will stick. I leave you with my favorite so far: The Internet rumors that she harbors racism against Eskimos. If true, she sure has a strange way of expressing it -- her husband, Todd, is half Yupik Inuit Eskimo.

To balance that out, she must really love his other half.

每个人的经历和政治觉悟是不同的, 政见不同,不等于你死我活。

那么有本事你自己多写写大家都看看。
lianggeren 回复 悄悄话 知道你是为了吸引眼球才会起这么低俗的标题,你用了许多词来形容佩林的可怜,实际上她是凤姐型的人物,你的同情用错了地方,她打压起手下来可是比男人还利害,但愿你不要碰到枪口上。要是说装可怜就可以当总统,美国街头的女人多着呢!!!

昨天的ABC采访,她连基本的常识都看出是背书的,当然,你也还会同情她,觉得以她的智力能在两个星期里记住NATO是件不容易的事情。要是怕攻击就别进这个圈子。她怀孕的女儿现在肯定恨死她,那个可怜的傻小子则不得不接受结婚的现实。

共和党才是不可信任的,腐败,好战,保护富人,一群南方农民,靠人多示众当选,也只有这里保守的中国人才会支持。

十一月小棉袄 回复 悄悄话 I am very sorry that you reached such conclusion. The democrats attacked her because she has no, absolutely no experience of handling international affairs. Read the excerpt of her interview with Charlie Gibson today and you will reach the same conclusion. A 15 year old would have given a better answer. She implies that we may go to war with Russia if Georgia joins the NATO and need our help. We cannot afford to have people like Sara Palin to run country based on her faith, not on the basic knowledge of international affairs.

It is scary to have a VP like her to run this country someday. It has nothing to do with her gender, but her knowledge and ability.
流沙随风 回复 悄悄话 佩林的提名的确是给了这帮伪君子一记响亮的耳光,可你想过没有,美国社会真的可以接纳女人做三军统帅的总统了?
