Sarah Palin: The Gift that Keeps on Giving
By now probably everyone in the greater Planned Parenthood family knows that a viral e-mail campaign was started a couple of weeks ago, suggesting that folks make a contribution to Planned Parenthood Federation of America in the name of Sarah Palin, and sending them to www.plannedparenthood.org to do so — and they did.
By last Friday, more than $1,000,000 had been donated. More than 38,000 folks made a contribution to Planned Parenthood in the name of Sarah Palin. The good news is that, because the contributions came in online, all the money is shared with PPFA affiliates, so this viral campaign will have the affect of benefiting virtually every affiliate in the country — PPFA has had contributions from every single state! This morning PPFA began shipping the acknowledgment cards — 8,000 cards were boxed up and sent out just today, and all week PPFA will be sending more.
And it doesn’t stop there — after hearing that her song, “Independence Day,” sung by Martina McBride, was used to introduce Sarah Palin at a rally, singer/songwriter Gretchen Peters took matters into her own hands. Gretchen will be joining all those who have so far responded to the viral e-mail by donating her royalties from “Independence Day” to Planned Parenthood.
If you want to check the song out for yourself, it’s on YouTube: here - safe for work

The latest McCain gaffe:
"My fellow prisoners"
:D

innerSpaceman 10-08-2008 01:33 PM

Yeah, so tell me he's not trying to re-live Vietnam and correct everything that went so horribly wrong.


I admit it, I'd like to do that with my life, too.



But my hat's not in the ring to run the prison camp, er, the country.

Maverick.

John McCain and Sarah Palin were backstage, and Lehigh County GOP Chairman Bill Platt was warming up the crowd of 6,000 at a rally here for the Republican ticket.
"Think about how you'll feel on November 5 if you wake up in the morning and see the news, that Barack Obama -- that Barack Hussein Obama -- is the president-elect of the United States," Platt said. The audience at the Lehigh University arena booed at the thought of it.
Quote:

Cindy McCain implied that Obama was trying to harm her son. "My son . . . has served on the front lines," she told the crowd, with her husband and Palin standing behind her. "Let me tell you, the day Senator Obama decided to cast a vote not to fund my son when he was serving . . . sent a cold chill through my body, let me tell you. I suggest that Senator Obama change shoes with me for just one day and see what it means to have a loved one serving in the armed forces, and, more importantly, serving in harm's way."

But do you think Cindy McCain connects with anyone?

I live in the epicenter of the Joe Six-Pack part of Wisconsin. We are traditionally very pro-union here and go Democratic 110% of the time. However, we are also one of the whitest Congessional constituencies. This area of the state could go either way this time and for racist reasons, is my hunch. Obama's Chicago is a couple of hours by car but it might as well be on the other side of the moon.

McCain is making a speech at an airplane hanger in our small regional airport. The 2,500 tickets to the event flew out the window.

On the other hand, yesterday my hubbo was in a conversation with three women you might think would be dyed-in-the-wool Palin fans. Quite the opposite. They were very judgemental of Palin's mothering, particularly wanting to know why Bristol Palin doesn't seem to have any aspirations to go to tech school or college. They said they were voting Obama.

I wonder how cold Cindy felt when her husband John voted against the very same bill, the only difference being the presence of the timetable. She mentions not that Obama voted in favor of the very same bill when the timetable was in it. Oh, but she nelects to tell the hungry crowd of raving idiots that her husband John refused to fund the safety of their bloodline son and heir when a way to send him home into their loving arms sooner was included.

How cold indeed. How cold she must feel to not be a living human being like we, one with honor and integrity, one with a trust in truth and not a lust for power.

How very cold indeed.

You know, in all honesty, I'd have a beer with Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama. But I would be afraid of getting frostbite around Cindy McCain. She reminds me of Nicole Kidman from the Golden Compass or Nicole Kidman from Stepford Wives. Brrr, chilly!
