I still don't think I can do it.

McAmnesty hates us so very much.

Not only did her son sign up on September 11, 2007, but he being deployed to Iraq on September 11, 2008. Double patriot.

More on my blog.

I listened and watched today and I am ecstatic!

A commenter on Rachel Lucas' blog characterized her as "Reagan in a skirt." In 2012, I think she would beat Reagan if he were alive.

Palin '12 !!

I'm breakin' out the good stuff. Turns out that McCain does care about the future of the Republican Party. Thank you, John McCain! $$$ to follow - now.

Sometimes, maybe it does take a woman to cause a rebirth of men's hopes.

Awesome - does anyone believe Obama could fire an M-16 without soiling himself?

I'm ecstatic about Palin. I get a conservative reformer for VP, AND get to keep my conservative Governor.

I WIN!!!

BTW, thats an M4, not an M16. You're slipping...

New term never before possible:

V-PILF.

Figure it out.

Wow, what drugs are you guys on? This lady has no business being a Vice President a hair away from the Presidency from an elderly statesmen? It's an irresponsible decision to place our country in the hands of someone extremely unqualified to run the country and foreign affairs. You people are as ignorant as they come and I can't understand what gives you a right to be so pathetically dumb to believe this lady is qualified to be VP and potentially President. I think perhaps you are just following protocol of your party that is a laughing stock with this lame decision.

[Vote Obama: He has no experience whatsoever, but he's so dumb he's likely to get his head stuck in a bucket and wander in front of bus, leaving Biden in charge! -Ed.]

* Sarah Palin is so tough that when she blows her nose, chunks of Biden come out.

* Sarah Palin is so Conservative that Ronald Reagan called John McCain from the grave this morning, cheering.

* Sarah Palin is so staunchly pro-2nd Amendment that the NRA is blown away by her.

* Sarah Palin is so physically athletic (hockey, basketball, hunter, fisher, etc.) that Alaskan polar bears salute her car as it passes by.

* Sarah Palin is so good looking that one look from her causes any ceiling ("18 million cracks in the glass) to fall down."

* Sarah Palin is such a super-mom that she raises the bar for women everywhere and even men want to bear children.

Wow, what drugs are you guys on? This Biden has no business being a Vice President a hair away from the Presidency from a corrupt incompetent? It's an irresponsible decision to place our country in the hands of someone extremely unqualified to run the country and foreign affairs. You people are as ignorant as they come and I can't understand what gives you a right to be so pathetically dumb to believe this lady is qualified to be VP and potentially President. I think perhaps you are just following protocol of your party that is a laughing stock with this lame decision.

There, Cheryl. Fixed it for you. Don't thank me, I always enjoyed MAD LIBs.

Man, they started trolling fast. Must be the OCD.

Heh! Hwy93 called Biden a lady.

In My World:

August 29, 8:30 AM
Barack Obama groggily shambled to the breakfast table with Michelle and the kids. He had barely gotten any sleep, having stayed up to 4:00 AM watching the news recaps of the convention, basking in the warm glow of watching his approval ratings climb upwards.

"Barry, John McCain is going to announce his running mate today. I think we should run over the likely people," Michelle warned.

"What, you mean go over the names and get at least a short response ready for each possibility?" Barack tried to clarify, squeezing some butter topping onto his waffle.

Actually, Michelle meant the physical act of running over the potential Republican candidates for Vice President with a large car, but she smiled at her husband's cute naivety, and passed the maple syrup. "Yeah, something like that."

"Whatever. I'm feelin' great today. After last night's speech nobody can stop us! I'm Barack H. Obama!" Barack H. Obama shouted.

"How many times have I told you to leave out your middle name in public?" Michelle chided.

"It's just an initial. Besides, I've got the same middle initial as Jesus. I think that would go over well."

"Barry, I'm serious. We're this close to the White House and if you're not prepared, McCain's going to break our momentum!"

"Can't it wait until after breakfast at least? Why won't you let me just finish my waffle?" Barack whined. "I saw the likely guys. Tom Ridge doesn't scare me. Joe Lieberman doesn't scare me. Give me a glass of Scotch and Tim Pawlenty doesn't scare me."

"It might not be a guy," Michelle mumbled, surfing her favorite New York Times blogs and Kos from her 11-inch Vaio. "Rumor is that Governor Sarah Palin is headed to Ohio right now. McCain isn't going to bring her all the way down from Alaska for a head fake. She's going to be his VP."

"VP candidate," corrected Barack. "I am going to be the President, and Joe Biden is going to be the Vice President. Therefore the Republicans can't possibly be anything more than candidates. The people have already chosen me. But what's the fuss about this Palin? Can he even run? I thought he was British and couldn't run for U.S. President. I never thought that was fair myself, I ought to have that law changed."

"You're thinking of Michael Palin, one of the Monty Python actors," Michelle sighed. "Sarah Palin is the governor of Alaska, and a woman. That's going to distract attention from your blackness, and steal the thunder from your historic speech."

"That is totally unfair. I ought to have a right to enjoy at least 24 solid hours of basking in the afterglow of my own speech before they can allow my opponent to get any airtime with his stupid stunts," Barack growled. "I'm going to write that into my new version of the Fairness Doctrine." Barack paused for a long thirty seconds. "This Palin chick isn't a hermaphrodite, is she?"

"Why would that matter?" Michelle was perplexed.
"I'm only half black. If Sarah Palin is only half woman it might not be such a bad hit on my ratings."
"She's almost as pretty as that other Sarah from that one right-wing mountaineer blog I...uh, my friend stumbled across the other day. I think she might be entirely female," Michelle sighed in despair. "And married to an Eskimo."
"I think the politically correct term is Native Northern North American," corrected Barack, as he quietly stuffed the last piece of waffle into his mouth. Few things gave him such a sense of accomplishment as finishing a waffle. He peered over Michelle's shoulder, watching her pull up Sarah Palin's Wikipedia entry. "So Alaska's actually in the United States, huh? I knew I was forgetting one."

Suddenly, the kitchen window exploded as some awkwardly shaped projectile smashed through, sailing over the table and clattering on the floor.

It was a hockey stick.

With a little gold box tied to the middle in pretty red ribbon.
Inside was a piece of paper, four pieces of chocolate, and about sixty-three cents in pennies, nickels, and dimes.

The paper contained a note.

Dear Barack H. Obama:
Looking forward to debating Joe.
Keep your Change.
See you in November.
Sarah P.

Finally a V.P. that not only kicks ass with Fireamrs but looks hot in a skirt. Yeah, that's right she looks hot! That may sound blasphemous but I had to say it (very sexy). She has five kids and I can see why. If I were her old man I'd knock her up while she were in office just for G.P.

I get the feeling this woman can still take charge of a battalion of Marines even while giving childbirth with the baby coming out side-ways. That would make her totally hot!

Sorry, Frank. This reluctant McCain voter isn't giving him any money as long as he supports "comprehensive immigration reform".

I love this place. Ed cracks me up. George guy writes great stuff. There are about 100 others I'd read RIGHT NOW! (besides Frank and Harvey)

Palin Palin Palin Palin Palin Palin Palin Palin
Palin Palin Palin Palin Palin Palin Palin Palin

Jeepers, we used to joke and do it for Ron Paul.

Fred had a widget. Fred also had a Downloads page that wasn't buried three steps away from the home page and his Blog Button guys would have had us a Thompson/Palin Blog Button out by now. They need to catch uuuuuup.

I think I made myself cry by saying "Thompson/Palin." But yeah, I'm pretty psyched about McCain/Palin.

So, Frank, list her blog. Do it now. Damn, Anwyn. I don't bookmark very often, but I did yours.

This is a special night.

Cheryl M.--

Hmmm. Considering that the Democrats are trying to put a corrupt incompetent in the oval office right now--what was the question again?

Cheryl is a bitch.

Hey Bitch take some Midol (trademark R)

I'm with #14. McCain shouldn't be getting any of our money until he gets rid of Juan Hernandez.

This lady has no business being a Vice President a hair away from the Presidency from an elderly statesmen? It's an irresponsible decision to place our country in the hands of someone extremely unqualified to run the country and foreign affairs.

Will you please quit shooting me

Can I just donate my hard earned bucks to her campaign and leave out the maverick?

Here's to change/hoping that IMAO launches a 'Palin Facts' list...

He's getting my money because Obama will disarm America. And McCain scares the living SHIT out of our enemies who want us dead. And that, my friend Lurker, is enough for me right now.

Ladies and Gentlemen: the future of our Republic - and your way of life - is at stake.

#24,

Who's to say cap and trade, McCain-Feingold, amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, and God knows what else McCain has done isn't a threat to our Republic? Not Obama isn't a good enough reason.

#6 beat me to it, but...

FOOL! That's not an M16, that's an M4. Less crypto, more guns!

Your alternative is chaos, Lurker. Congratulations. Stand by your principles. If you've read this blog for the past year, you'll find me blasting McCain every chance I get. I know why you are reluctant. Ask anyone here.

But not right now. The stakes are too high. Retire to your bunker. Me, I'm standing with two people who stand with me.

Holy frijole, Batman! McCain doesn't even need my money!

Donate anyway, Marco, just to help Palin rebuild the Republican Party.

I thought Mc was going to pick someone as "moderate" as he is. I was going to bet it would've be someone like Lieberman.

I was kinda hoping he'd convince Howard Dean to jump the fence again. That would've been sweet, actually. I can see that debate now...

Biden: Mr. Dean, how do you explain to the American people your inexplicable return to the Republican party?

Dean: YYYEEEEAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!

Biden Well now, that wasn't very articulate...

#27,

My principles are not the same principles John McCain has. He's proven that in the past. I will vote for the man, but he will not be getting any of my hard-earned money.

End of story.

John McCain has proven today that he can do the right thing. (Don't even debate me about doing it for the wrong reasons! Or, go ahead. I'm staying up late anyway.)

I'm thinking seriously about what this really means. Has John been listening, ussjimmycarter?

Sorry, Jimmy, I'm working tomorrow. :)

Lurker, reveal thyself! :-)

LOL! What, you think I'm Marko?

Ok, that caused a minor episode of laughter. But you're not in bed yet! Cough it up.

I'm on my way. :)

To bed, that is. Seriously. Too bad this site is so addicting!

'Night, Lurker. AlanABQ, I have serious revulsion issues with Dean. I mean, viscerally. Did you ever shake a guy's hand and have a bad vibe? Like, so bad, your instinct was to deck him? It's happened to me twice in __ years. (deleted to prevent revulsion)

OK, I donated to the campaign and said IMAO.us referred me.

After concluding that Lurker is indeed not one of my personalities; I've reached another startling conclusion:

Each and every commenter on this blog is a figment of Frank's personality disorder.

Kind of cool, isn’t it?

Out here, in the beautiful blue California, I can allow myself to take away my vote from McCane and give it to Chuck Baldwin. I wish all California conservatives did the same in November - Obama will win here anyway, but we need to make a statement. My dream ticket is Palin/Keyes 2012.

P.S. I physically cannot spell McPain's name correctly - my fingers hurt when I try.

SUPA PALIN WOMAN !

SUPA PALIN WOMAN !

Smacks small barrack husseins and joe bidens with a single smile

She and her father would sometimes wake at 3 a.m. to hunt moose before school, (wikipedia) SUPA PALIN WOMAN !

Sarah Palin:

FACT: Sarah Palin isn’t allowed to wield the gavel at the convention because they’re afraid she’ll use it to kill liberals.

FACT: Sarah Palin will pry your Klondike bar from your cold dead fingers

FACT: Sarah Palin doesn’t need a gun to hunt. She has been known to throw a bullet through an adult bull elk.

FACT: Sarah Palin poses more danger of creating world-destroying black holes than the Large Hadron Collidor.

Oh, don't do that, island girl!

Super Trouper

To Lurker and other McCain haters.
Palin gives us 2 good reasons to vote for McCain:
1) SHE gets the tie breaking vote in the Senate.
2) Serving as VP will put to rest the inexperience question when she runs for POTUS. (If McCain loses it's back to Alaska for her and we're stuck with the usual Washington dregs for the next 20 years.)

Dang it, Jimmy!

If McCain loses I might move to Alaska.

Dammit, I must be a moron in that I cannot find these McCain/Palin buttons everybody suddenly seems to have.

(If McCain loses it's back to Alaska for her and we're stuck with the usual Washington dregs for the next 20 years.)

If McCain loses, *I* might move to Alaska.

errrr, my r's got entangled with my enthusiasm for Our wonder woman from Alaska whom I am enthralled with Jimmy. Actually I was imitating a new yawk accent and it back-fired on me.

Hurgh. Double comment and wasn't able to bury the first one after I noticed that the McCain/Palin link on this page appears to actually be an ad, not a downloadable button.

I'm tired. Palinmania has worn me out today.

For the first time in this whole stoopid, endless election cycle I found a ray of sunshine. John McCain was a disappointing GOP candidate. But his decision to have Sarah Palin as his VP shows me that he believes he can win this election. And the more I learn of Obama, the more appealing that sounds. Blah blah blah about all the dumb things McCain done with the border and campaign finance. He and Palin will face the hordes of bad guys surrounding us. That trumps everything for me.

Vote no on the Obama Initiative. He is not a good person. At all.

Anwyn. Stay up. We're just gettin' started here. In the next few days, it'll be reported all over the world about the "blog storm" that Palin caused. It's worth it. I'm telling ya, it's everywhere. And the normal IMAO commenters aren't even here tonight.

island girl, just being facetious with an excuse to link an old fav that came to mind. Anything to enhance our celebration tonight! Hey, Paleo. Go get your friends and bring the good stuff.

you are all complete idiots

I cannot count the number of different blogs and people I've seen/heard say the same thing today: "For the first time, I'm excited about the McCain campaign."

I Knew McCain was reading our posts!
When Seanmahair refused to be his VP he chose the next best candidate he could!
I marvel at the slick timing of their announcement - Throwing out red herrings like Lieberman to distract the pundits and lull Obee into a false sense of security, even the last minute resurgence of the Huckabee/Romney un-holy war!
McCain really Is an evil genius!
I listened to Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity today at work (earplug and Radioshack transistor radio).
They were practically swinging from the chandeliers!
Gov. Palin's name Did show up occassionally as a possible VP pick, but always as a 4th or 5th round pick.
They had me fooled completely!
One thing I'm sure of now; their administration will know how to keep a secret!
I am So totally Jazzed right now I took my wife out to celebrate with an all-you-can-eat-catfish dinner tonight.
(That's Posh at Our house, Buckos!).

Woo hoo #58.

that's exactly what this country needs in the face of economic, environmental, and international calamity - PEGGY HILL!
Governor for a year and a half - most experience as a small town 'mayor'. A mayor, you idiot conservatives! That'll do us well with Russia and the middle east.

It's early Christmas for democrats... Or anyone with a freakin' brain for that matter. It will be fun watching the Peggy Hill pick self destruct your ticket

#60 - onthefence.
Die a slow, lingering, painful, lonely, friendless, pointless DEATH!
Mwah HA ha ha ha ha ha HAW!
No, seriously, friend; comment here Any Time!

* Palin is so attractive that Obama's toga falls off just looking at her picture at Kos.

* Palin is so tough she eats frozen Russian missiles for lunch.

* Palin is so scary smart that Biden is ready to give-up and sell National Geographics for a living.

* Palin is so anti-terrorist that Osama bin Laden just changed his name to Barack bin O'Bidin.

Oh boy! Oh boy! This pick makes me feel so full of religious patriotic jesusjoi! Wooo-hooo!!! Yes! Yes! Yes! Finally my dream of every U.S. kid learning that we all used to ride dinosaurs will come true! That's patriotism for you right there baby!! Thank you McCain for having the guts to play the dino card!

I hadn't really heard anything in particular about Palin before today, but after looking up some facts about her, I'll be more happy to vote for her than for McCain. Personally, I would have picked Romney, but apparently, Hilary supporters are giving B. Hussien the finger on the way out the door. Not that we particularly want them, but any fewer votes for Obama is a good thing.

And I've gotta say, McCain has really been running a good campaign. I mean, the Saddleback thing, his ads, and now picking Palin: it's like the man actually has a plan to win! Who'd a thunk that about John McCain one year ago?

He's just using her to try and get us to vote for him. But come November 5th, he'll go right back to "reaching across the isle" and sticking it to us hated conservatives.

Governor for a year and a half - most experience as a small town 'mayor'. A mayor, you idiot conservatives! That'll do us well with Russia and the middle east.

Senator for 3 years and a half* - most experience as a 'laywer'. A lawyer, you idiot liberals! That'll do us well with Russia and the middle east.

*really only 2 and a half, cause he spent 1 year campaigning - and if you take away all the times he voted "present" it's even less

I love it when the trolls set themselves up so perfect like that. Got any other sticks you want me to beat you around the head with?

Oh, and one more for the road: our VP nominee doesn't have tons of experience; our nominee for POTUS has a hell of a lot. Your nominee for POTUS has ZERO administrative experience, next to nothing foreign policy experience, and even less of a clue.

I really hope the trolls stay for a while. They're so fun to toy with.

Lets see:

McCain/Palin
Arizona/Alaska
Fire/Ice

Interesting...
Perhaps a campaign slogan?

Ernie,

Here's what happened. The democrats elected some clown who doesn't have enough experience to be president. To counter this John McCain chose some clown who also doesn't have enough experience to be president. Either way American ends up with clowns in the White House.

Basically the Democrats and Dem supporters were busy eating as much poo as they could. So the GOP and all the idiot GOP supporters have now decided to join in and eat lots of poo as well.

It all stinks and so do you. You are stupid and you eat poo.

Stop thinking you are smarter than the Dems because you are not. You are busy scarfing down poo while pretending you are smart just like they do.

The smart people are the ones who don't even care because the people who get elected all end up doing the same thing anyway.

Arizona/Alaska
Fire/Ice

Interesting...
Perhaps a campaign slogan?>

Sure. It looks stupid enough to me. I bet you thought it was clever, huh? It's not.

Ouch!

I've been zinged!
You sure showed me.

The smart people are the ones who don't even care because the people who get elected all end up doing the same thing anyway.

#68 - Posted by: ErnieisLoco on August 30, 2008 02:32 AM

At least you care enough to post a comment here.
What does that say about you?
Are you enjoying your poo?

I love this blog. But did you ever get that creeping feeling that you've been trolled? And that it's following you?

Sorry. I'm such a bring down.

Yeah, Gov. Palin has an impressive record, but is it really substantial enough to be VP? I think she should have waited a few years before going national. Now McCain will look even more hypocritical than politicians always appear when he lambaste BHO about his lack of experience.
On the bright side..... What was the bright side again?

I guess my bumper sticker will say VOTE For Palin -the one running with the RINO.

Finally, out of 300 million people, one of the top four candidates for the Whitehouse office is a true conservative with character, convictions and is loyal to those values. That she personally against continuing the slaughter of innocent life, makes the choice easy.
That she's a true fiscal conservative also makes it easier.
That she values nature enough to hunt - fish and drill makes the choice easy.
That she has never been in the senate where compromise is the foodstuff of hypocricy makes the choice easy.
That she's a real woman and not a radical feminist makies the choice easier.

McCain just handed Obama the presidency. Not only does this take away McCain's experience trump card but Palin also has some sort of trooper scandal. She fired some Alaskan trooper just cause she didn't like him - apparently she thinks she can do whatevah she wantsah with her power. Also, there are beleeeevable rumors that the 4 month old baby could actually be her daughter's child. She was photographed when she was supposed to be seven months for Vogue with zero baby bump. Also, her daughter was mysteriously absent from school for months with mono at the time - yeah right. This will probably go down as the worst VP pick in America's history. McCain just made a laughing stock of the religious right and brought them all aboard the McFail ship to sink with him. Heh

["There's also a picture of her punching a baby seal in the face and rumors she's really the villainous Catwoman. Plus, she made fun of my lack of a penis."

The rats sure are getting freaked out by this pick. -Ed.]

#76

The only fail here is you. She has more experience then obama and she has a history of getting rid of corrupt republicans and employees of the state. Someone cried and said it was because of personal reasons. Wahhh...

LOL @ not her kid. Grow up troll.

Good morning, IMAO Ronin! Well, I hear Fred is going to speak at the RNC. And Palin as VP has me whistling this morning.

I know have the experienced guy running for President and the promising younger type as VP is a radical idea -- it hasn't been done often, and the only time in my life anyone won that way is was George H. Bush with Dan Quayle -- but don't you think it makes a lot more sense than the other way?

Ed's interjection into #76 gave me a coffee cramp.

Rofl, Ed.

It seems that we really got them backed into a corner here.

Fact: Sarah Palin is the inspiration for survivorman, the tv show.

Fact: At three in the morning, Sarah Palin is getting her camo on for a moose hunt, awake, and armed to take on the day.

Fact: Russia doesn't even think about sending missles over the Bering Strait, because Sarah Palin would just shoot them down with one of her rifles.

If Sarah Palin were married to Joe Biden, she wouldn't wash his shorts. Nope. She's shoot 'em with an AK-47 and shit-can the monstrosities.

Holy F! 80 posts in one day?!

With her dark hair up in a bun and those sensible glasses She reminds me of Diana Prince, Wonder Woman's secret identity, from that old TV show.
Hmmm... Does she wear gold bracelets?

Ladies and gentlemen a comment to last the ages, a true genius, someone interested in intelligent, erudite, and civilized discussions.

"It all stinks and so do you. You are stupid and you eat poo."

If you don't know how to play with the mature dogs, stay in the kennel.

As for Ms. Palin. I too would have preferred Thompson or Romney. That said this pick is growing on me. She shuts down the age debate, the gender debate as well as throws the whole experience question right back into the face of the Democratic Pretender. How can they question her lack of experience in comparison to his? As long as she doesn't have any real scandals in her background we're good to go.

Here's a question. Which President had the least amount of experience?

I would think that would be one of our greatest presidents, George Washington. After all he had to make it up as he went along. The difference between him and Osamabama is, Washington was a military hero, a gentlemen who prized integrity, truthfulness and patriotism over personal wealth, fame and power.

I know about George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan and you Barry-dude are no Washington, Lincoln or Reagan!
