Again, she lied to the people of WNC by promising to bring her listening tour there...she did NOT.

Its time for the 51st state of Western Carolina.

That's true, but I have no way of counting those folks.

I was at the Fayetteville rally on 10/19. We got turned away at the door after the crowd inside reached capacity. There were at least 3,000 people behind us. I don't think your count includes the people who were not able to get into the event.

John Burns, are you trying to be offensive? What exactly do you mean? Are you race baiting?

Our beautiful soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is the best future leader for this nation, not Senator Barak Obama. Our beautiful soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is also would be better at leading our nation in the future after a McCain Presidency than Senator Barak Obama would be in leading our nation in the future starting in January 2009. There are great reasons our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin would be a better future leader than Senator Barak Obama. The greatest reason for our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin's is ideology. Our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is conservative in that she is pro life, marriage, guns, low taxes, low government spending, small government, unintrosive government, traditional and judeo Christian values, Bible reading and prayer in our public schools, and military spending.She is also pro free and private enterprize. Senator Barak Obama is a liberal who is anti every thing that I have described that our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is pro about or for. A second reason that our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is superior is because of experience. As a governor she has two years of executive administrative governing experience that Senator Barak Obama does not have. A final reason that our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin is superior is because of political accomplishments. When our soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin came to office she accomplished 3 major things which are as follows: she showed great leadership in the 3 following areas: government reform, the state budget and the economy, and wise use of natural resources. She reformed government by standing up to the big oil companies by breaking up the monopoly on power and resources. She insisted on competition and basic fairness which ended the control that the oil companies had on the state, and thereby returning control of the state back to the people. She also stood up to the special interest and lobbyist, and produced major ethics reform. She lead well in the state budget by generating a surplus which came about by vetoing a half billion dollars of wasteful spending, ending the abuses of earmark spending by congress, and by getting rid of the private jet, the chef, and the chuffer. Economically under her leadership she brought about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history. She also suspended the state fuel tax, and when oil and gas prices went up dramatically, and filled up the state treasury, she sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged - directly to the people of Alaska . On natural resources she has shown great leadership by beginning a nearly forty billion dollar natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence. When the last section of the pipeline is laid and its valves are opened, will lead America one step farther away from dependence on dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart. Senator Barak Obama has done nothing, so please vote John McCain for President and give to our beautiful soon to be Vice President Sarah Palin the opportunity that she deserves leading the nation into the future after a John McCain presidency. When our soon to be Vice President does lead the nation as President after a John McCain presidency,she will be the greatest President that we have ever had. Finally she is smarter than Senator Barak Obama

Thank You

John Warren

Re: Biden coming to Greenville Monday - Democrats demand better

I contend that the Only Two 'Privileges' you're gonna be afforded by Obama-Biden
The Only Two Rights Obama is steadfast on are:
* Vote, yes, you will still be able to vote.
* Abortion. Definitely. In fact, your gonna have the "right" to pay for other people's abortions - even if it's against your religion.

And even though Democrats are some of the strongest proponents of human rights, No one will challenge squarely what I've just written.
Not Guns, Not Free speech. Nothing: Abortions and voting sum up the totality of what these men, who hijacked your party hold sacred.

My Prediction is I will receive a lot of name-calling, diversions and attacks.
But NONE will honestly, squarely challenge these words.

Democrats, You've long held dear the US commitment to Human Rights -- Constitutional rights. Many of you have served in the military, Taking an oath, to uphold and defend the constitution.

This is the time to act. This is the time to DEMAND their commitment to you. DEMAND answers. This election isn't about McCain's Houses, or Sarah Palin's glasses. These are fundamental American rights, the envy of the world. Do what must be done. This is more than Wall street, or Health care. THIS is the future.

"Socialist?????"

You have no idea what that means.

Hint. It is not a synonym for the N word. I know that's how you are using it, but that is not what it means.

Beverly Perdue is a liar …..“You can't trust her, I just call it like I see it” THESE ARE THE WORDS OF Joe Mavretic, the former DEMOCRATIC speaker of the NC house. Here is the video of Mr. Mavretic saying these words and explaining why he said it. The entire clip is 6 minutes long, forward it to 5 minutes if you just want to hear the part where he says WE CANT TRUST BEVERLY PERDUE!!!

***This is something you will only see on this blog!! Contact your local media and ask them why they haven’t said a word about this shocking clip!!

I have to defend Ryan on this one, when the best the GOP can do is the governor of the diverse state of Alaska, it is quite newsworthy. Especially with thoughtful and insightful way she has answered questions while out on the trail. Please take a chill pill, as Ryan said, there were 9 posts from the GSO event. The emptiness of her answers would make me want to follow her myself so I could be the first hear what idiocy she spills from her mouth next.

I want her to wink at me again like she did at the debate, could you imagine what they would have said if it was Biden up there winking at the camera. Yes they are hypocrites and many other words Ryan will not let us use on here, and the fact that anyone could be undecided at this point is beyond me. So take it easy on Ryan, the more he reports on Palin the better off the good guys are. I hope the sarcasm was detected here, and by good guys I mean open minded folks that would rather take an ax to their grandmother than vote for McCain/Palin.

I did nine posts in a row from an Obama rally in Greensboro on Sept. 27. I was not at the Asheville event.

Got Wood?

zoobatmania — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:05:12 -0400

Seriously, what is this like the 10th post in a row about Palin? I know McCain hasn't been here this year, but I'll bet he doesn't rate 10 straight posts and I can guarantee you didn't do 10 posts about Obama in Asheville. Right?

Remarkable.

I love Palin. Her nickname should be "Raid", since any time her name is mentioned, the insects start chirping and running out of the woodwork. All you have to do is mention her, and a bunch of liberal bigots and idiots start ranting incoherently. If she's 'stupid' and 'inexperienced', then Obama should drop out of the election, because she's smarter and more experienced than he is.
