Election time is coming in November.
We better vote and then pray!

Here are two jokes by the Republican candidate:

“Question: Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Answer: Because her father is Janet Reno!”
Told by McCain at a Washington dinner in 1998.
- Sherman Yellen, Huffington Post, Nov. 18, 2006

“Did you hear the one about the woman
who is attacked on the street by a gorilla,
beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die?
When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak,
her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently
and to feebly ask, ‘Where is that marvelous ape?’”
- Tucson Citizen, Oct. 27, 1986

Hawr, Hawr, Hawr!!!

And here are comments about the candidate’s sidekick:

“You tell me what mother cannot run the country
after having five kids?”
- Sherri Shepherd, The View, Sept. 2, 2008.

Want to give it a try, Sherri?

Wasilla former mayor, John Stein, says that as mayor,
Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times.
“She asked the library how she could go about banning books,” he says,
because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them.
“The librarian was aghast.” That woman, Mary Ellen Baker,
couldn’t be reached for comment, but news reports from the time
show that Palin had threatened to fire Baker
for not giving “full support” to the mayor.

Here’s Mary Ellen Emmons,
the Wasilla librarian at the time:
“She was asking me how I would deal
with her saying a book can’t be in the library.
I told her I will fight anyone who tries to dictate
what books can go on library shelves.”

Sarah Palin wants “Creationism” taught in the schools
as a theory to counter evolution.

Palin told Alaska University music Teacher Philip Munger that
“dinosaurs and humans walked the Earth at the same time.”
When he asked her about prehistoric fossils and tracks
dating back millions of years,
Palin said “she had seen pictures of human footprints
inside the tracks.”

Head for The hills, boys. Sarah’s a-comin!

Dinosaur Adventure Land, which had dinosaurs and men
on the earth at the same time10 thousand years ago
instead of 10 millions of years ago, is now defunct.
In November of 2008, founder Kent Hovind and his wife Jo
were convicted of 58 federal charges,
and were subsequently sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Sherri again on the View to Bill Maher:
Have you ever just talked to God
and asked him what he thinks?

Bill: Did he ever answer you?

Sherri Shepherd: He answered me!

Bill: Then we should call Bellevue.

The old McCain (way back) in 1999
makes common sense:
“I favor the ultimate repeal of Roe vs. Wade, but we all know,
it’s obvious that if we repeal Roe vs. Wade tomorrow,
thousands of young American women would be performing
illegal and dangerous operations….Ultimately
I would liked to see the repeal of Roe v. Wade,
but to do it immediately would condemn young women
to dangerous and illegal operations.”

The new John McCain has vowed to revise the Constitution
to insure the rights of the fetus,
and he has pledged to appoint Supreme Court justices
who would overturn Roe vs. Wade.

Concerning Palin and Choice:
“We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby.”
That’s fine, but Palin wants to remove “choice” as an option,
including in cases of rape and incest.

Mary Mapes tells us:
During her successful gubernatorial campaign in 2006,
Palin declared that she would not choose an abortion for her daughter -
then 14 years old — even if the girl was raped and became pregnant.
“I would choose life,” Palin said.

More from Mapes: When Sarah Palin was mayor of Wasilla,
the town suddenly started charging rape victims
between $300 and $1200 to have the rapist’s DNA
and other forensic evidence taken, tested,
cataloged and investigated.

Larry Kroon, Palin’s pastor on June 24, 2008
gives us some fire and brimstone on the US of A:
“There will not be one atrocity, there will not be one act of unjustified violence
that God will not deal with. God will deal with …a slippery, sliding country
like the US of A. The Lord will leave no one unpunished.”

Palin was at Wasilla Bible Church on August 17, 2008 when David Brickner,
the founder of Jews for Jesus, told congregants that terrorist attacks on Israel
were God’s “judgment” of Jews who haven’t embraced Christianity.
Brickner said, “Judgment is very real and we see it played out on the pages of the newspapers and on the television. When a Palestinian from East Jerusalem took a bulldozer and went plowing through a score of cars, killing numbers of people. Judgment - you can’t miss it.”

This is a segment from a McCain ad: “Obama’s one accomplishment:
legislation to teach sex education to kindergartners:
learning about sex before learning to read.”

Poppycock! Here are the specifics. “Course material and instruction shall teach pupils … how to say no to unwanted sexual advances … and shall include information about verbal, physical, and visual sexual harassment, including without limitation nonconsensual sexual advances, nonconsensual physical sexual contact, and rape by an acquaintance.”

That makes sense, doesn’t it?
What happened to McCain?

These are the people who will continue to be influential
if McCain and Palin win.
And a lot more will come in
clinging to McCain’s coattails.

Dana Perino and History: White House Press Secretary Dana Perino.
Dumbfounded at press conference: “I was panicked a bit
because I really don’t know about the Cuban Missile Crisis,” said Perino.
So she consulted her best source.
“I came home and I asked my husband.
And he said, ‘Oh, Dana!’”

This is the sophistication we now have
and will continue to have under McCain-Palin.
How about some “elitism” for a “change”!

Tom Coburn, Republican senator from Oklahoma
advocates the death penalty for doctors performing abortions.
Here’s the word from the horse’s mouth:
“I favor the death penalty for abortionists
and other people who take life.”

And Coburn on “the pink menace”:
“The gay community has infiltrated
the very centers of power in every area across this country,
and they wield extreme power …
That agenda is the greatest threat to our freedom that we face today.
Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion
and multiple sexual partners?
That’s a gay agenda.”
(Question. “Tom, why would gays rationalize abortion?”)

Gerry Allen takes action against “the menace”:
A bill by Rep. Gerald Allen, R-Cottondale, would prohibit the use of public funds
for “the purchase of textbooks or library materials that recognize or promote
homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle.” (What does that mean?)
Allen doesn’t want to burn the books but rather:
“I guess we dig a big hole and dump them in and bury them.”

I guess there goes Sapho, Oscar Wilde, André Gide
and a bevy of other gays in a big hole.

Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo’s campaign stood by his assertion
that bombing holy Muslim sites would serve as a good “deterrent”
to prevent Islamic fundamentalists from attacking the United States,
his spokeswoman said Friday. “This shows that we mean business,”
said Bay Buchanan, a senior Tancredo adviser.
“There’s no more effective deterrent than that.
But he is open-minded and willing to embrace other options.
This is just a means to deter them from attacking us.”

Allen, Coburn and Tankredo represent the new decision-makers.
The fate of the country is in the hands of such men and women
and will continue to be if McCain and Palin are victorious.

McCain is all for continuing the war.
as is Palin. But some on the Right
have gotten the message:

An assessment by the late William Buckley Jr.,
founder of The National Review:
“It didn’t work. One can’t doubt
that the American objective in Iraq has failed.”

Bill O’Reilly: “I think history will show it’s the wrong battlefield,
and I think that you were perspicacious
in your assessment of the battlefield.”

Yeegod! Wild Bill has admitted to Barack Obama
that the Iraq war was a mistake and he even praises
Obama for voting against it way back when.
What’s the world coming to?

James Carville about Sarah Palin, former Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska:
“I mean she was touted experience as mayor of this town in Alaska.
This is a picture of the city hall. It looks like a bait shop in South Louisiana.”

That’s very amusing, but don’t underestimate her, Jim!

Sarah Palin is here to stay.
She‘s capable and capable of learning.
Take a look at her and take a look at Ann Coulter!
See what I mean! Most of the other women of the Right
are too strident and aggressive to win anyone over.

Sarah’s a homespun Joan of Arc.
Her voice may be a mite too chirpy for a battle cry,
but She’s feisty and she’s got pizzazz.

The Republican Party has been the party of Conservatism.
The New Republican Party is the Party of the Religious Right,
and it has found a standard-bearer
who will lead it as “representative of God.”

John McCain is the candidate, but he is incidental.
It’s all about Sarah Palin.
If McCain wins and does not finish his term in office,
Palin will become president.
If McCain loses the election,
Palin will be the candidate in 2012.

Watch out! We’ve had plenty of trouble from Bush and Cheney,
but that’s nothing compared to the trouble we’ll have
if Sarah Palin is placed in the saddle.

Congresswoman Michell Bachmann
has most charming open-mouthed grin ever and a big broom:
“I wish the American media would take a great look
at the views of the people in Congress
and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America?”
Michell Bachmann, Hardball, Oct. 17, 2008

I’m fer the Obama-Biden Ticket.
We better vote AGAINST Palin-McCain
or emigrate to another planet.

God Bless Us and God Save Us!
