I’ve just received excerpts of Palin’s prepared remarks for tonight. Not much was released yet, but from the excerpts I’ve read, it’s going to be a great speech.
On her experience:
Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”
On why she is going to Washington, D.C.:
“I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone. But here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion – I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country.”
On John McCain:
“Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election. In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.”
Consider this an open thread for tonight’s events, especially Sarah Palin’s speech.
Consider this an open thread for tonight’s speeches. I’ll be twittering the night’s events here.

Caucus of Corruption
Deleted – over the top.
You see NIP, what you failed to do was to read anything about the actual case.
1. Her sister was getting a divorce.
2. Her brother-in-law tasered her nephew
3. She says, fire him
4. It’s been made a case by people she defeated to take office.
But the crux of the matter is, she wanted a child abusing State Cop to be fired for using a freakin’ police taser on a little boy.
But to someone willing to chop a baby to bits and throw him in the garbage, Iguess that doesn’t seem too bad.
nip
wont work…….
YOU were NEVER in the corps, and I never heard those terms when I was in.
YOU could not have been there, because im sure there would have been that talk, about YOU, if you were!
When she pressures a law enforcement official to fire the guy then fires the guy who didn’t fire him because it was overstepping her bounds to order it, YES!!!!!!!!! it is troubling. Just because you’re Governor of a state doesn’t give you free reign to do what you want whenever you want.
better check your facts again factcheck and include ALL the taxes he’s proposed. Look at the spending he’s proposed and do the math.
Was the chart to complicated for you? Perhaps you could find a fourth grader to decipher it for you.
Never think about rats eating their bodies as they decompose next to the half eaten big mac?
Evidently, you think about that enough for everybody. It’s a pretty creepy fixation of yours. You should really go get help.
FM, he’s off crying in his wine.

Deleted – over the top.
NIP, it doesn’t? You sure that’s the law in Alaska?
You want someone wearing a badge, carrying a gun and a taser after doing that to a little boy?
Sure, fight this if you want. You may even be right – it may have technically been wrong.
You think an Alaska jury will convict her? Would YOU?
I wouldn’t.
But if you think this will work for you then run with it. But don’t be surprised when we explain about the tasering a little kid part and see how the public goes. OK?
Kahn
I have a good answer where nip is and what he is doing, but it would be deleted…LOL
They are howling at the moon tonight,
I believe the end is NYE
you can be sure they will do EVERYTHING to steal this election, because after tonight they are turds circling the bowl WHOOSH!!!!!
Dont forget it was the daily’s and the crooked chicago mob that oBOMBa belongs to that STOLE the election from Nixon and gave it to Kennedy.
Factcheck – what chart? If you DO post one. Make sure it’s all inclusive. After doing MY taxes each year, I don’t see how you could possibly post one chart that actually has any meaning at all. But give it a shot.
Oh, and I’m just trying to explain what abortion REALLY is. Abortion is such a marketing word, don’t you think? Kind of makes it sound sciencey, like NASA aborting a rocket or something. Some Advertising guy came up with the idea of using the word.
Kind of like the word “gay”. Liberals stole it right out of the dictionary. When exactly did “gay” become “homosexual” you think? Not saying anything good or bad about being homosexual. Just kind of mad that they stole the word “gay”. Oh, and the rainbow. WTF, they stole the freakin’ rainbow?
WShat are you views on this factcheck?
Kahn-
If he was guilty of these child abuse charges why was he not arrested and convicted? I mean she’s the freakin’ governor right? Why isn’t this abusive guy sitting in a jail cell today?
Smells a little foul to me.
Again she abused her office.
Kahn-
Thanks for admitting she abused her powers as governor to get this guy fired.
He could have been in prison AND fired if what you say is true. there would have been no need to go to such lengths to get the guy fired if he broke the law the way you say.
[...] MORE: Our Next Vice President, Sarah Palin. Dear Democrats. [...]
Well now arbitrarily throwing someone in jail without due process WOULD be an abuse wouldn’t it? You know, Alaskans may not even convict of THAT. Pretty big frontier mentality up there. But taking away his badge, gun, and taser does seem like a good idea to me. Agreed?
But hey, you hadn’t read anything about it? Well tell ya what. Actually read about it someplace beside KOS and we’ll talk about it in another string soon OK? Right now, I think this is a loser for you.
what chart?
So now clicking hyperlinks is beyond your capability?
Go back to comment #145. See that red text? That’s called a “link.” If you click it, it will take you to a different Web page–specifically, one that is a chart showing the tax cuts proposed by both Obama and McCain.
I’ll get into the specifics of that chart once you prove that you were able to, you know, find it. Oh, and read it. I can’t take it for granted that you’ll be able to do that, apparently.
NIP, sorry but I have to disagree. She “may” have abused her power. I don’t know Alaskan law. Do you?
The guy may still go to prison. Do you know for a fact he hasn’t? Sounds like you’re arguing out of ignorance.
But I’ll tell ya what. If this is about a jerk who tasered a little kid? F$ck him and anyone who defended him. No jury in Alaska will convict her for firing him. Won’t happen. Admit it. This is a dead end.
In fact, it makes her look better.
Oh, I see it now.
Well for your attitude, go f&ck yourself.
OK – so I looked at this Washington Post chart.
Where are the capital gains, social security, medicare, death tax, and small business tax components. I DID tell you to include EVERYTHING, right? So, would YOU fill out your tax forms based on THIS chart?
You um, need more time? Find some MORE all inclusive this time charts? You do know about his proposed social security and medicare taxes, right? You do know they are not included in this magic chart, right?
smug doesn’t go well with stupid you idiot.
Wow! I picked a hell of a night to have a fantasy football draft. Obscenities, call outs, death threats, Casper once again called a lousy teacher by someone who hasn’t spent a second in his classroom, and an election I thought was moving to Obama ended in McCains favor (and a landslide at that) in 45 minutes. I can’t imagine what Cugat said to get a deletion in light of everything that was left said.
Palin said she fired the guy over budget issues not about the trooper. Truth of the matter is, unless they find a smoking gun then the very worst that the investigation can possibly come up with is that she “may have” fired him because of the trooper. I might be wrong but if there was a smoking gun it probably would have been found by now.
Gov Palin’s only true crime is having an (R) instead of a (D). If a politician has a (D), they can get away with almost any crime and remain in office…
After all, Cliniton played hide the cigar and we were were told it was a private matter… Then there was a mayor of Washington DC that used Cocain and got reelected and a Senator that had sex with an minor and nothing was done to him… Heck, you can even drive off a bridge, leave your girlfriend to drown and still get relected if you have a (D) as part of your name…
Mc Cain shows his lack of judgment by choosing as a running mate an inexperienced governor embroiled in scandal in her own state who spent time as mayor of a back water town sucking in pork barrel projects for her town and doesn’t seem to have enough common sense parenting skills to keep her daughter educated enough to keep from getting pregnant.
Right some one I want a heart beat away from the oval office
“Then there was a mayor of Washington DC that used Cocain and got reelected”
Haven’t you heard, crack is all the rage. Ask Barry he liked it.
Kahn,
i should have asked, first, if you supported the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
If so, then you support the lilling of at least 30-40-50 thousand Iraqis.
If so, some of them were chuildren.
So, you support the the killing of innocent children.
So….hypocrisy! We have a winner!
