FOREVER: John McCain and Sarah Palin

Bad boy Chris Cillizza has Palin supporters questioning his sanity. Good for him.

John McCain and Lindsey Graham are the most prominent GOP critics of the far right. hmmm...

Give losers like McCain Hell!!!! McCain is trying to backpedal without first purging his participation in bringing a far right nut case into his candidacy. He went for the lowest common denominator and he failed.
Continuing to support the embracing and exultation of one of the craziest on far right while at the same time he is a prominent GOP critic of same makes him crazier than ever.
The best antidote is the truth.

Not that he is man enough, but he must give it up and come clean in order to make sense. McCain has been a bad boy since the beginning, he learned the art of cover up early in life. By the time he married into a local mafia family he was good to go with the fine art of political manipulation. Not everyone could have skated through the Keating Five thievery like the old rascal did. And who better to abuse the families of fellow POW soldiers? He is not worthy of his government positions/benefits and he needs to learn he is not fooling as many people now. Are the elections in Arizona rigged or are the voters nuts?

The GOP is starting their 2012 campaign positioning.
Neoconservative moderate v far right extremist? Even a "moderate" like Pawlenty will go rogue.

The Palin Wars: Part LXII
Chris Cillizza October 5, 2009
All of the attention that Schmidt's comments have attracted is yet more evidence of the fact that Palin is a -- if not the -- prime mover in the Republican party. If she does ultimately run for president (and there are strong arguments to be made on each side), it's almost certain the race would boil down to Palin and a single candidate -- former Gov. Mitt Romney (Mass.), Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty* etc -- who would become the rallying point for the anti-Palin forces.
Until then, the forces who support her and those that oppose her will continue to reinforce their positions -- a process that could turn the 2012 presidential nominating fight into one of the most memorable in history.

Joe Scarborough Shows Yet Again Why He Could Be President Someday

*'Moderate' Tim Pawlenty Hires A 'Boatload' of GOP Dirty Tricksters to Run His PAC
Via Raw Story, Rachel Maddow points out that in a move to make himself the Republican presidential candidate in 2012, the so-called "sane, centrist, future of the Republican Party" Tim "Fear the Mullet" Pawlenty is putting together the usual assortment of Republican scum to run his political PAC:

For Pete sake, keep writing your politicians and the journalists
that are suppose to be covering them.
Clue them in on what you really want to know and why.

What is it that could affect 2012? Attorney Rex Butler speaks about a Levi Johnston book:
* “probably worth millions.”
* “doesn’t want to give it all away right now,”
* “Quite frankly, I think it could affect 2012,”
* Mr. Butler likes to suggest that Mr. Johnston’s story could have an impact on her potential candidacy.
He certainly wants to write a book, the lawyer, Rex Butler, said by telephone, adding,
“Believe me, it’s a hell of a story.”

You can see for yourself exactly how Sarah Palin was when she said she was tight ab at 32 weeks pregnant. If that photo makes sense to you, please explain. If not, show everyone the compounding evidence and keep asking questions.

Bree Palin has the best documented photo comparisons. That is a start, but not all there is.

Secrets: Ambassador Bristol Palin contemplates abstinence-only in Wasilla as teen birth rates heighten in religious states

U.S. states whose residents have more conservative religious beliefs on average tend to have higher rates of teenagers giving birth, a new study suggests.

The relationship could be due to the fact that communities with such religious beliefs (a literal interpretation of the Bible, for instance) may frown upon contraception, researchers say. If that same culture isn't successfully discouraging teen sex, the pregnancy and birth rates rise.

Mississippi topped the list for conservative religious beliefs and teen birth rates, according to the study results, which will be detailed in a forthcoming issue of the journal Reproductive Health. (See chart) Teen Birth Rates Highest In Most Religious States

Wasilla, Alaska
excerpts..
Pat O'Hara, a journalist who served on the Wasilla school board for twelve years, remembers how the religious right made her feel like a stranger in her own community.

The Valley, Alaska's fastest-growing region, is a spectacular area of lakes and birch and spruce forests, surrounded by granite-colored snowcapped mountains that poke through the clouds.

It wasn't until the 1990s that local churches like the Wasilla Assembly of God, which Palin grew up attending, became aggressively political.

A few years before Palin became mayor, a group of preachers confronted the school board with questions about social issues that had never before surfaced in local politics, according to O'Hara, who wrote first for the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman and then for the Anchorage Daily News.

Meghan McCain to Levi: "Take Care of Your Baby"

Which baby or did she mean "Take care of your babies?"

Tripp, Levi's son with Bristol Palin, will be
9 months old later this month.
Said Meghan, "If I had a child, I would be at
home taking care of it."
Meghan McCain to Levi: "Take Care of Your Baby"

Levi's account suggests that her (Sarah) favorite activity is getting others to do her bidding. And she likes free stuff -- free room service, free clothes, free hotel rooms. Once the campaign ended, Levi says, her motto was,
"I want to just take this money and quit being governor."
And so she has. Sarah's Choice

MIA Sarah has been rumored to be wearing shades in Wasilla, it could be the crow's feet.
Whatever it is, Sarah has a new career, or so they say, and the same old bull.

No one is revealing why the frenetic crazy sudden quitty schreech. No one is telling the whole truth when it comes to the birth of the last two babies born to a Palin. The whole media black out of a Hong Kong secret forum is a bore...because what even is Sarah Palin, at this point? That crazy lady with the weird pregnancy secret is about it.
Meghan McCain ( MySpace )is on the bash Levi team, don't look for candor in her book. ( Cindy's aunt, Jeri Johnson, concerned that Cindy is giving the kids drugs. By 7 Meghan was telling people to fuck off ) She will be making a small fortune as a writer, I say she is one happy Daddy's girl and his reputation trumps the truth. Hold him accountable!

Levi Johnston witnessed a miracle?

Levi Johnston wants us to believe he witnessed a remarkable transformation that defies all logic. I can't wait for him to elaborate and tell detailed answers to the many questions he has provoked.

Throughout history when a miracle is witnessed more details and questions follow. Levi lived with the Palin family. He would know about her diet and physical regimen. He perhaps is privy to secrets that would benefit mothers to be of all ages who want to maintain their shape and health.

The photos to the left show how Sarah went from flat to a round pregnant tummy in 2 short weeks.
That is a miracle if true.

Gryphen Update: The baby Levi is talking about is Tripp.
The Palinistas are almost unanimous in saying that Levi is a liar.

The historic photo (right) was taken
at the Republican Governors Association (RGA) conference in Grapevine, Texas in April 2008. Right before the "wild ride" and Trig's "official" birth date. Ms. Palin and her husband kept the pregnancy secret for seven months and did not even tell family members that prenatal tests indicated that the child had Down syndrome.

Witnesses on the flight to Alaska say there was no indication that Sarah Palin was a woman in her mid forties with child. She did not tell them she leaked any fluid or that she spoke with her physician, Dr. Cathy Baldwin Johnson.

Book deals: Quitter Palin makes sense to two journalists

Sarah Palin's resignation makes sense to two journalists working on the upcoming book:

'Sarah from Alaska'

[Updated]
"Now, nobody likes her," said Walshe, who spent two months in Juneau, Alaska, watching the legislature and governor in action. "She wants to go back to the adoring crowds that you saw during the campaign," said Walshe, "and not put up with the petty stuff in Juneau -- her declining poll numbers, the ethics complaints, the legislature's disregarding everything she wants to do."
(See Palin in Florida crowd below)

Florida crowd estimates were inflated like most Palin numbers.

Palin and her literary representative, Robert Barnett, may have found a neat solution, though, as it was reported earlier today by the Associated Press that she had sold a memoir to HarperCollins that would be released by two of the publishing congolomerate's divisions simultaneously: the main Harper imprint here in New York, and Michigan-based Christian house Zondervan.

Heard it from the grapevine: From Wasilla High hockey stud to deal maker?

Unscrupulous behavior – is there a pay off goin on?

I am told by reliable sources, but don't know for a fact, that the book deal recently in the news is worth an initial $2 million, with various clauses that could take it higher if the book sells.
Customarily, one-quarter to one-third is paid on signing. (I'm also told, that she rushed into the deal in order to get money to pay off Levi and his family in return for a commitment to not talk about anything to do with the Palin family, special note was made emphasizing the Johnston's may have something to do with Trig and the question of parentage.)
