Palin Talks Policy
Filed under: Politik > John McCain > Sarah Palin
So guess what?
It's finally Sexy Sarah's first big day on her own!
Like Sadie Sandler a preschooler armed with mother's sack lunch, Palin ventured to the swing-state of Colorado on her first trip outside of her home state without McCain.
The recently selected vice presidential candidate and current governor, who can boast only limited experience outside of Alaska, was held from view while aides rushed to update her on a variety of issues.
Now remember, if ever you should falter, just remind everyone that you're a woman!!!!
You've got a vadge!
Palin spoke mainly on the issues of energy, government reform, and helping families with special needs, as Palin's four-month-old son has Down Syndrome, and the crowd cheered when she declared, "too often the government is the problem" rather than the solution. Yeah, like when it restricts stem cell research, which advocates claim could be the key to unlocking treatments and cures to numerous diseases.
Sexy Sarah also claimed that Obama's proposals to raise income, payroll, investment income, business, and death taxes is "not the way you grow the economy," but independent groups such as the Tax Policy Center concluded that four out of five American households would actually receive tax breaks. She declared her support for McCain's "'above all' strategy for energy independence." In other words, drilling Alaska for all its worth.
Palin said McCain liked her idea of placing Washington's checkbook online, so "everyone can see where their money goes," just like she did in Alaska.
That’s cute, but honey, it ain't dark in Washington half the year like it is in Alaska.

no one RESTRICTS stem cell research. any company out there can do all the research they like and get the rewards with any breakthrough they make. what gov't CAN do is NOT use YOUR tax dollars for stem cell research. THAT is the difference. no one is restricted from doing stem cell research in this country.
MCCAIN/PALIN '08!!!!!!!!!!
furst!
Cannot stand this woman. If she is elected that will be the second time in the subsequent 8 years that we've elected a complete moron into office.
wow
vote for OBAMA!!
Okay, so she's basically using the same "policies" she's used for the Alaskan government. Gawd she's annoying. But I'm sure she's getting high marks from the folks in the swing vote states. SMH
Drill Baby Drill!
vote fer OBAMA BIDEN!!!
Stem cell research cannot be restricted dumb shit, it just isn't funded by my tax dollars.
.
.
FUCKING RETARDED CUNT!!!!
OBAMA 08!
.

What a loser! McCain said today the economy was in great shape. I am 14 and even I know that is NOT true.
Palin is a master of the one-liner, but has no real ideas. Her 15 minutes are over!
They can drill Alaska all they want. But where the hell will it be refined? All the oil in the world still isn't gas until it's refined.
Palin's experience may be limited, but atleast I can pin actual political accomplishments to her name. All Obama's done is vote yes or no, and in many cases he's been present and not voted at all. Palin's decisions as governor have fallen completely on her, Obama votes with a group and has far less responsibility, he's not held accountable for his decisions, she is.
You need money to do any medical research worth a damn, and that money needs to come from the government to get large support and the necessary funding. Drilling is a very, very short term solution to a very imminent long term problem. And Palin, who isn't exactly the frontrunner when it comes to energy policy, hasn't said what a long term solution would be, like funding more environmentally friendly energy solutions. Like Obama said and Palin echoes, we can't solve 21st century problems with 20th century solutions. Drilling might've worked before and avoiding government support of stem cell research, but this is a dawn of a new age.
So sick of this woman! I am also baffled by how Americans are so gullible. Voting for someone because she is a woman! A woman who is dumber than a horse! The Republican Strategists have written all her speech and kept her locked up for days studying policies! So ridiculous!
Seems like Perez hates any woman that isn't gay…."You've got a vadge" ??
God Bless America & Senator John McCain
Don't fall for the smooth talk & media hype of the recently elected, naive,junior senator from Illinios. Vote for a REAL HERO John Sidney McCAIN
And as far as drilling in Alaska goes, the area she wants to drill isn't near as large as the amount of land she has set aside and protected. The overwhelming majority of Alaska will still be very safe from an envirnomental point of view, we also need to start offshore drilling. While democrats are busy whining about how they think it will harm their environment companies are going out of business because they can't afford rising gas prices and many families are struggling to afford the cost as well. We need to drill right away and look for more forms of energy for their benefit, a little drilling in small uninhabited areas of Alaska and offshore is a worth while sacrafice.
It would be great to do some stem cell research on the ignorant racist fetuses who comment on this blog. Alas, its too late. They are born…and now they can type.
Perez, you're a fucking idiot. You have no clue what you are talking about. The government is not restricting stem cell research you ass! Get your facts straight. Everyone should vote for McCain/Palin. Does this country really want a man like Obama running it? Talk about a joke! We should absolutely drill in Alaska. We have resources in our own country, they are here for a reason.
Hello!! Can we please focus on the fact that 90% of what she says is BS!!??
She just takes credit for anything she can. Palin is 100% a shady politician.
"I've got another idea that I think Senator McCain likes. In Alaska, we took the state checkbook and put it online, so everyone can see where their money goes. We're going to bring that kind of openness to Washington," she said.
In fact, there already is a searchable database that allows the public to track federal grants and contracts, and Obama was a principle force behind the 2006 law that created it, along with Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.
The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act is one of Obama's few legislative accomplishments in his short Senate tenure.
she's full of it. until her baby came out with down syndrome, i'm sure she didn't give a shit about special needs. i don't like her.
More experience than Obama! He's never made an exec decision in his life. He will ruin this country and then take more than half the money that your parents and grand - parents saved for you! DRILL!!!
McCain/Palin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am getting sick of this bitch already, Please let's move on as we did with Paris Hilton.
A vote for Obama is a vote for China. I have nothing against the chinesse people but their government is evil
Re: Sistah Mary – i agree.
DRILL BABY DRILL.
PEREZ, YOU ARE SUCH A PAWN. I THINK YOU FIT IN NICELY WITH THE REST OF THE HOLLYWOOD CROWD. IT WARMS MY HEART TO KNOW THAT YOU, LINDSEY LOHAN, HER GIRLFRIEND, MATT DAMON AND PINK ARE SO WELL EDUCATED IN THE FIELD OF POLITICS. I'D LIKE TO PITCH A TV REALITY SERIES TO YOU…IT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS: PUT ALL OF YOU GUYS INTO A ROOM TOGETHER AND JUST SIT AND DISCUSS POLITICS. I COULD ONLY IMAGINE THE AMAZINGLY PROFOUND THINGS THAT WE, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, COULD LEARN FROM YOU SELF INDULGENT "POLITICAL" MINDS. MY GOD, MAN…THAT SHOW WOULD BE A RIOT!!!!!
Canada loves John McCain
Re: State ziti –
Actually our American ports were almost sold to Middle Easterners under the retarded Cowboy's regime!! Until the American people started squawking!!
When is she going to shut up!!!…No one cares what she has to say or what she wants to do she is just so ignorant and she need to have a more open mind towards all the issues that are being discussed and voted on this election!
*Obama 08*
i do like her idea about putting government spending on-line so we can see it … but we all know it wouldn't be accurate. anyone who thinks it would is fucking stupid.
Palin actually wants to make it illegal to do stem cell research.. How can she be crying about women equality when her policies will actually repress us so many years. Our country has struggled to evolve and it hurts to think of how far we will be pushed back in to the dark ages if we continue with the same policies and add Palin on top of it. I have so much respect for her strength, but unfortunately she is not what I'm looking for in a president. "..in the unlikely story that is america, there isn't anything false about HOPE"
Normal woman's love canal= o
Palin's= { }
Barack Obama would like you to believe the economy is the worst it's been since the Great Depression. Let's see, during the Depression we saw unemployment at 33% (currently at 6.1%) and not a single business made a profit for 4 years. As of the current quarter, the majority of publicly owned companies (more than 50%) made a profit. This is NOTHING like the Depression. Obama needs to quit scaring people. Sure times are tough. We are really feeling the pinch of $4.00 gas across our entire economy, in everything we do and buy. It takes gas to do everything. When energy prices come down, so will the cost of doing business and prices will follow.
Re: MadderHaddar – this is an excellent idea, with pam anderson too
Obama is a dope, Perez is a F'n Idiot and all you stupid lemmings following these two Idiots are just as ridiculous.
i was eating breakfast this morning, when lo-and-behold, i found sarah palin in my froot loops!!
GOD BLESS US ALL!
Re: Canadian McCainiac – Speak for yourself! Most Canadians hate Bush and do not want to see another 4 years of the same policies. The Canadian economy is connected to the American economy - when America suffers, so does Canada! Why do you think Harper has called for a Canadian election to be held before the American presidental one? Harper is so far up Bush's ass and a Republican wannabe. He is fearful that if he doesn't reestablish his position in parliment now, he wil never get the chance. Canadians want CHANGE!
NOTE to those who think raising the death tax is good: your family will not get your life insurance money. The government will. Right now, for example, For amounts over $80,000 but not over $100,000, the tentative tax is $18,200 plus 28% of the excess over $80,000.
That is awful when you are trying to pay off granny's loan sharks!
That Fag Obama bowled a 13. Even a Fag like Perez could bowl a 50.
She makes me very confused. I hate all of her politics and what she stands for but I would love to meet her a broom closet somewheres in the back of the Governor"s mansion and make secret boom boom!
Don't you call her honey! You pig!
Re: fcuknsexy – nobody cares about what you have to say unless your avatar picture is really you
Are you Obama Idiots signed up for Obama energy Plan? Get your tire gauge ready. You dorks are pathetic.
Re: Leona$ Gho$t – leona ghost's:(###)
i don't like her much at all
but she is better than McCain I suppose
Re: State ziti – You're correct! I'm scared of Obama and the terror that will come of this country if elected. Please do your research. He clearly despises America deep down. This whole Barack Hussein Obama mess is a ploy just to destroy our country into more destruction. Google, The Weather Underground (a terrorist organization) that Obama has ties to!! So if you support this mess, tell me why won't he salute our flag, or wear an American pin proudly? And don't tell me that his religion has keeps him from saluting our flag. That's BS!!
Re: WakeUpPeople –
I guarantee you there are people voting for Obama JUST BECAUSE he's black. It's a double edged sword.
Re: LA angie – Excuse me Angie you don't know what the hell you are talking about the Bush White House has drafted and placed legislative restrictions on several types of Stem Cell research through the support of the then Republican Congress and John McCain.
What about helping rape victims Sarah?! By not requiring them to pay for the damn rape test kit.
Perez, congratulations on realizing she has a vagina. Once you realize Obama IS a vagina your training will be complete.
Right-wing Middle American women will be the demise of this country if/when they vote for the Pit Bull.
This gal obviously puts her political career ahead of her family again and again: Why restrict funding for research that could find a cure for your own baby's illness? Why support your own child's underage marriage to a total dirtbag who impregnated her instead of supporting her finishing high school and going off to college? Why go back to work 3 days after delivering a baby with DS (not to mention the incredible hoops she jumped through just to have that baby in AK)? She's irresponsible, not to mention a total ding dong. If she puts the checkbook online, we can see when she writes a check to pay for people to sell airplanes on her behalf, bullets, and poster board for anti-abortion signs. THERE ARE SO MANY QUALIFIED ASSHOLE GOP WOMEN, MAKES YOU WONDER WHY HE CHOSE HER.
Re: jefdo – Do you always talk out of your ass? Because Obama has actually done real, internationally relevant things, like writing (and getting passed) a bill to secure loose nukes. He has also done several thiungs that are relevant to every US citizen instead of just those in one of our least populated states (campaign finance reform,etc.). It's morons like you who make it blatantly obvious to the rest of us that repukes are completely pointless.

Wow, Perez, so much for tolerance. You are a misogynist. Calling her "cute?" So, when BILLIONS have been given to fetal stem cell research and there has been NO sign of any cure for anything, yet adult stem cells (which Bush supports) have resulted in many cures, isn't it about time you got off the stupid wagon? Or should we just call your ignorance "cute?"
LMFAO!!!!!! Hahahahaha….Is this woman serious…Putting the governments checkbook online so we can see where the spending goes…LOL This woman is retarded. Matt Damon was sooooo spot on when he talked about her using her cookey ass ideas she learned from being a hockey mom, and trying to apply that to the white house…HAHAHAHA what a fucking douche bag this lady is…McCain prob want to slap this bitch for saying that dumb shit..This lady is straight comedy..Rednecks should be circus freaks…What kind of place is Alaska anyway..Lets just turn our back to those fuckers up there, with their 2pm sunsets…LOL
Whooooo cares… at this point people are pretty well on one side or the other, does anyone supporting the canidate they support right this very second.. plan on switching sides anytime soon? Most likley NO.. and no matter what either side says, the supporters for the other side are so suck dick on their canidate I doubt it matters, EVEN if they do make good points.. sooo why still is this something people are fucking arguing about- truthfully we're fucked either way, like I said there are people in America who would die to see a black man NOT become president, vote Obama and when he gets assassinated one week into his term because some nutty KKK fuck won't have it, we're stuck with BIDEN and we're fucked, vote for McCain in general and we're fucked, and when McCain dies of fucking old age during term and we're left with Palin running the country WE'RE FUCKED! Nice ending to EVERY story isn't there?!
I'm no scientist….so maybe someone out there w/ more insight can help me on this one………are embryonic stem cells scientifically more valuable than those found in cord blood?……..I tried to save mine from my 1st baby. I say tried, b/c nobody at the hospital had any idea how the recovery kit worked. I'd gladly see my tax dollars funding research/kits/storage of cord blood.
Hey Perez. I love ya, but this post is super retarded. I was actually at the Palin event in Colorado today. First off, Palin spoke in Carson City, NV on Saturday (by herself), so this was NOT her first time stumping without McCain. Second, she wasn't held from view so aides could update her on issues…she was watching the President speak about the Lehman bankruptcy. Kind of a big deal and I think the crowd understood the importance of her doing this. I agree that you have the right to discuss politics on your blog, but at least get the facts straight.
Re: secondcoming –
I knew you were special!
Re: YepIsaidit – No, LA Angie is right and you are wrong. There are government restrictions on TAXPAYER MONEY funding EMBRYONIC STEM CELL research. Private companies can research embryonic cells all they want, and there is government funding of adult stem cell research.
For those who are saying Obama wrote this law, he did that, blah blah blah - dream on, the man did not do any of that, he's an empty suit with huge frickin ears.
perez control your boner for palin and quit posting abut her
Re: State ziti – you lookin all nappyheaded, bresh dat
are we all effing dilussional, no matters who wins we're still going to be in deep shit… it wiil take more than just promises to fix the budget and the economy,the war in Iraq etc………….good luck bitches………
still I do not like this sexy bitch….
perez drop all the 3rd rate hollywood and music posts and concentrate on palin
git your budweiser baby…we are gonna go to palin's trailer for some pigs feet and Nascar!!! She done spoke all by her self (15 aids off to the side)…. that dog needs some more lipstick!
drill, baby, drill! i don't understand why we want to transfer our wealth to the arabs. let's keep the wealth within the u.s. alaskans want a small patch of land opened for drilling. do it! we need energy independence, and this is a start. most of the people worried about anwr haven't ever been there and probably won't ever go in their entire lives. and, oh by the way, one of the major reasons we purchased alaska in the first place was because we knew it was a potential "pot of gold" as far as resources are concerned - so why are we still putting money into the hands of terrorists when we don't have to?!
oh, and perez, stem cell research is legal, and it takes place everyday by private companies. what is restricted is using tax payers dollars for stem cell research. and since some people have a serious moral objection to it, they shouldn't have to pay for it. i personally don't have a problem with stem cell research, but i do with abortion. and if obama becomes prez he'll want to use MY tax dollars to fund someone's abortion….i ain't gonna pay for it!
Embryonic stem cell research has led to cancerous tumors and little or no solutions. Adult stem cells have proven to be very effective as have umbilical cord cells without ending human life to do so. Most of your commentators are correct on one point. Any private firm can conduct any kind of stem cell research. President Bush actually approved government funding to use any current embryonic stem cell research already in process. While I don't agree with it, the McCain-Palin ticket actually supports embryonic stem cell research and has an ad out now explaining that position. And you don't even realize it but you actually agreed with Palin when she said Government is the problem, not the solution with your complaints about current policy. I am astonished how little so many of your readers know what they are talking about. They have this emotional reaction to Palin without knowing her actual position or about the issues themselves. Scary.
Re: LA angie – While it is indeed a fact that only research being funded by federal dollars falls under the ban, it is obvious to me that you have no clue how medical and scientific research generally works in the US. It is apparent that you are good at memorizing and parroting talking points, yet not so good at doing the hard work and educating yourself on the pros and cons of each position.
Why? Because if you had a freaking clue you would realize that the US government funds most basic research being done in the country, the only times the private sector comes in is when there is promise of a monetary payout around the corner (after the basic research works out the majority of the background info needed).
Therefore, since nobody who is getting any federal funds can be doing fetal stem cell research using those funds there is very little research being done on fetal stem cells. This not only delays the world's progress in the field in general but also makes it more likely that, when a breakthrough does occur, it won't be by (read: won't financially benefit) Americans.
GO, PEREZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have such an audience! Now that the election is so close, if you want REAL CHANGE and want to avoid the scary prospect of McCain/Palin — 4 more years of Bush/Cheney and the continued decline in the economy, America's image in the world, and increased entrechment in foreign conflict — please, PLEASE, continue taking a stand for Obama and against the outright lies of McCain and Palin.
Thanks so much! Your words are important!!!
Re: jefdo – Well said
Re: WakeUpPeople – I think a fair number of horses were probably rightfully offended by your characterization of miz Palin.
Think very hard when you vote, guys!!! But if you don't feel like thinking, just vote for Obama/Biden!!!! =D
The New York Times recently had an article about Palin using the line item veto. She reduced funding for a halfway house for new teenage mothers. Sounds like she puts her "family values" to use, right. What happened to showing compassion for others?
Hey Perez, how about if you stop publishing Palin info and photos? She makes my skin crawl.
I am starting to think Perez has some kind of crush on Palin. He is always talking about her!
She is fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: && I got a thing for you! – i would've voted for you- you're as hot as palin
Re: Yohann –
ROFLMFAO!!!!
Re: State ziti –
The FOX news anchorettes are fine! I have a weak spot for hot, powerful women!
If anyone believes these lying Republic twits about their tax plan and how it will affect the American people, I urge you to do your research! The Tax Policy Center, a non-partisan joint venture between the Brookings Institute & the Urban Institute, confirms that Obama's plan would LOWER THE TAXES FOR FOUR OUT OF FIVE AMERICANS.
And as for Palin's brilliant idea of placing Washington's checkbook online, so "everyone can see where their money goes," …In fact, there already is a searchable database that allows the public to track federal grants and contracts, and Obama was a principle force behind the 2006 law that created it, along with Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.
shes not sexy!
Re: Lovely Love – nice! that's gonna happen a lot!
I think if people want to live in a country with no government oversight they should move to the Congo or maybe Bolivia. Or, how about Eritrea, I hear there's nice beaches…. When there's no government oversight, your country is ruled by greed and it will kill or be killed. Military power has to restore order and banks collapse. That's what we'll have in the U.S. with 'no government' GOP mongers for another 4 years. The banks are already collapsing thanks to little-to-no oversight. Meanwhile the CEO's get $17 million pay outs. And U.S. taxpayers get to clean up the mess.
This woman dumber than a tree. Please send her back to Alaska. If McCain and Palin run things in Washington for the next four years we will end up in a depression instead of the current recession this country is in.
OMG!!!! WOULD YOU GET OVER HER…YOU SOUND LIKE A TEENAGER. YOU KNOW IF YOUR BOY HAD PICKED HER YOU WOULD BE LICKING HER PUSS. SHE IS BRINGING YOUR BOY DOWN AND YOU ARE SCARED AS SHIT!
LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She should be running for the top spot!
How refreshing that someone is actually talking about the issues!!! PALIN/MCCAIN 08!!
Canada loves John McCain . Recent poll shows 68% of Canadians support McCain for President
Re: jefdo – You really are a dumbass, aren'tyou?
First of all, you complain that the areas she wants to drill are comparatively small, yet you seem ignorant of the fact that, not only do oil companies already have leases and drilling rights on land right next to the refuge but also on other areas of oil-promising land - they just refuse to drill there because in some instances it would cost them a little more to do so. Well guess what? If they spent a tiny fraction of their profits that cost could be covered: they just don't want to lose any of their blood money.
Likewise, you could drill all you want but it doesn't do a damn thing about refining said oil into products such as gasoline. I'll give you three guesses as to why the oil companies haven't built new or significantly improved refining facilities in nearly 30 years. Give up yet (since you have made it so clear that thinking hurts your widdle head)? The answer is "money".
Go back to shooting wolves with rifles from helicopters you dumb twit. This woman is so annoying and dumb.
Can a republican explain this to me: Obama's proposals to raise income, payroll, investment income, business, and death taxes is "not the way you grow the economy,"
.
.
Really? REALLY? So why has it worked in all of the Democratic presidencies in the past 60 years? And "trickle-down economics" as well as spending billions on a war that does not help our country, has only proven to destroy our economy time after time. History shows the Republican rhetoric — as much as people fall for it — only results in a bad economy.
Re: Canadian McCainiac –
Canada does NOT love John McCain. You are making this up because you must be a redneck republican or something….again Canada does NOT love McCain. They are Obama all the way.
