NEW YORK -- Sarah Palin says Barack Obama is running as though his opponent is President Bush instead of John McCain. And she calls it a strategy that's "wearing pretty thin."

The Alaska governor says voters know McCain as a political maverick and war hero and that Obama is trying too hard to link the Arizona senator to the unpopular Republican president.

Palin and McCain appeared with their spouses Tuesday night at a fundraiser in New York. Guests paid as much as $28,500 to support the presidential ticket and other GOP candidates.

The only thing wearing thin is their campaign.

I know, this is the original, but i still like the other one better.
It better justify the looks on their faces.

:eyes:

...it does get old after a time.

And I might even WHINE about it. Boo freakin' hoo, Sarah!!

Bake

and having a running mate who doesn't pose a "threat" to his delicate "ego"or otherwise show him up. McInsane and Palin deserve each other - they both have super-inflated egos and think they are above the law. Pretty good match, I'd say.

:sarcasm:

in fact she's such an expert that she has McShit holding back so Obama doesn't lose as badly in the election. See that way republicons can claim they didn't steal the election, McShit came from so far behind that there was no need for the election theft, you know like the other 2 elections? Wink wink flirt flirt aren't I pretty and smart? Who wouldn't vote for the prettiest girl VP? :sarcasm:

really... :crazy:

...he found $28,500.

Spread that one around - let's just see how much Joe Sixpack and Jane Hockeymom can relate to paying $28,500 to see their idols.

:eyes:

McCain apparently believed that Bush would be a better president than Gore and Kerry.

That is a valid issue in deciding whom to vote for in 2008.

Palin: Obama strategy 'wearing pretty thin'

October 15, 2008

over 90% of the time, I'd say it is McCan't who is linking himself to Bush.

no, honey, it's not hard at ALL!!!

you betcha...!!!

"Attack your enemy's strengths" + "The Big Lie" = Rove.

The one regarding her unpopularity with suburban, white women. CNN reporter (can't remember his name) was in suburban St. Louis reporting on this. These ladies have big problems with Palin. What's wearing thin is the already thin veneer of integrity in which she tries to wrap herself.

She's such a maverick. I just love her for her maverickness.

We've taken to calling them The Lone Rangers.

mikey_the_rat

I like that! That there's DUzy material, it is.

:rofl:

Governor Palin, Senator Obama is running against Senator McCain's policies! Now admittedly they resemble those of President Bush, so I can understand why you are confused. I guess that's the problem when you run your campaign on attacking the individual instead of their stance on the issues.

Please bring the lies, hatred, and divisiveness, Barbie

What a joke.

Unfortunately, she's a cheap doll because she only has half a dozen phrases and they are, as she says. wearing thin.

If I had to listen to that shrill, semi-hysterical shreiking for the next four years I'm pretty sure I'd be back on cigarettes. Make that nerve pills.

Nails on a blackboard...shivers up and down my spine.

Maybe they should try suspending their campaign once again, renounce their Republican affiliation and try a "do-over" as third party candidates -- they could call themselves "The Maverick Party". :sarcasm:

When is this fucking rube going back to Alaska? I hear there's an investigation or two up there waiting for her testimony. :)

I don't think it's wearing thin - what is wearing real thin is erratic lurching and hate festivals

I know the perfect bridge they can take to Victoryland!

She's just slipped the blinders on and is coasting to the finish.

And people are sick of YOU, Sarah. They're sick of your creepy white trash family, of your fake folksiness, and they're terrified of the fact that you are utterly, utterly brainless.

the fucking lunatic failin is a sociopath.

did you smell it. If its wearing thin how come his poll numbers are rising and McInsane's are falling. Barack's opponent is * because you people embraced him....go back to your hole in alaska.

she was "Vindicated" with the Troopergate Report.

I can't post news here? I posted this so people can be aware of what the opponent is saying and make fun of her.

he opens his mouth.

Pretty much a one trick pony...

sucks doesn't it, Sarah?

pitty that.

Are they for real?

Please.

How about something interesting -- go ask a real politician for a sound bite.

Let's get back to the business of grown ups, shall we?

Palin: Robo-Racist in a tight skirt, spewing hate and running on empty. She's making history one ethics violation at a time!

Complain away!

You can't erode it with spin.

You may be able to cover it up for a while,
but it WILL get out.

Why doesn't she just shut the fuck up and get her moose-hunting ass back to the tundra.

Somewhere, an Alaskan fishing village is missing its idiot.

Maverick is "wearing pretty thin".

:P

You just zip through life not ever grasping anything fully, figuring you can wing it if necessary... then *BAM* McCroak has melanoma of the brain and you're staring at Putin through the haze of a mushroom cloud.

as a candidate for VP has already worn thin. Why don't you get over yourself and go back
to Alaska? That way you won't be bothered by Obama and we won't be bothered by you!

Win-win!

:applause:

Fun fact: you can rearrange the letters in SARAH PALIN to spell NASAL HARPI.

Do you want to know what's wearing thin?

Sarah Palin

That finely polished veneer that sparkled when she was introduced by John McCain has worn really thin. So thin that anyone that has been asleep for the past six weeks might never know that there was a polish to begin with. It reminds me of the original paint job of my old 1973 VW bug... faded, dull, and in desperate need of a redo.

be so... free of useful thought. It is remarkable. The both have worn thin, but, because he is the guy vying for the number one spot, I consider this his ground game - and I hold him responsible for it's tenor, presentation, failure or success (cough, wheeze, hack!). He chose Palin, he has not challenged the hate speech being spawned or his own senseless "guilt by association" tangents.

The economy didn't tank him (it hasn't tanked Obama). He is accountable if he's telling us he is capable of leading this country. He's proven that he CAN'T, actually, do that... but he owns it. Palin is a very unsympathetic pawn in this, but she's not smart enough to understand that, and sadly, it seems as though McCain isn't either.

Oh, man, don't insult a faded VW like that...! -grin-

Call it thin and faded with Palin, on an old bug, call it patina 'till you get around to painting it. Character and all that.

I was simply being realistic. It's original bright yellow paint is now an old looking faded yellow. It definately has the cool retro vw look, but it doesn't "glow" like it once did.

I hope I haven't insulted or angered bug owners.

I'm so sorry!

In an attempt at being humorous, I guess I failed... : ) I certainly didn't mean to make you feel like you'd said something wrong - I just think, when compared to Palin, anyone and anything wins, including inanimate objects because she's so, well, useless. I didn't clarify myself very well. Hope you'll accept my apologies....

I love when fascists squirm.

by now is a very old fish. Just mentioning it brought the smell of the last president to the voter's nostrils. Mentioning it was stupid. They failed to notice that everyone else quit chanting their slogans some time back.

Accuse your opponent of something you are guilty of. I'd say most of us never want to hear the word maverick again. Sarah, you wore the Mav right off that damn word, now all that's left is the ick. Ick=McPalin.

The surrogate's using the term "erratic" is really starting to get on my nerves - and I don't think it sends a good message because it just seems too programmed at this point. So, that is wearing thin for me, but nothing about Obama is, has or will wear thin. I'm jazzed, man...

"Wearing thin," said the vapid, self-interested bigot, from the beautiful Northwest state of New Hampshire... (ya, she said that too... sigh).

I mean, if she doesn't read she's illiterate for all intents and purposes anyway, right?

I feel really guilty about this, but the way she pronounces her "ing"s is driving me NUTS! Not the hokey, forced folksiness of dropping the "g" to sound more "Pabst" than micro-brew. No, that's annoying but I think it works against her. It's the way she pronounces "ing" as "een". Aggghhh!

I have no idea why I pick up on it, or why it's driving me crazy, but it is. I feel terrible about that because it's likely just regional thing and much of my family is from the Pacific Northwest, but I don't recall hearing this anomaly.

And I wish John McCain could pronounce the "L"s in "billion", instead of saying "biyyon" (which he says - a lot). Ah, it's the little things in life that keep one going. I'm not usually this persnickety! yeesh...!

nice try - but AMERICA disagrees with ya, you betcha...!

that means we should repeat it as often as we can.

McCain is just more of Bush, but with a healthier VP.

you are starting to REALLY piss me off.

Gee Willikers !

Or did you mean your nerves were wearing thin because the Obama campaign is right on target, with McLiar on tape, declaring himself a loyal Bushie who voted with him 90% of the time.

Whoops.

you have ZERO credibility and nobody gives a rat's ass what you think.

GO BACK to ALASKA, already.
