Black GOP Delegate: Sarah's Real

1. what the hell is this idiot talking about? Is he really this idiotic? Is he really this much of an uncle tom?? How much is he being paid? seriously. For damn sure, Obama and liberals are not the problem. HE is the problem and so is Mccain. Someone tell this moron his candidates party destroyed this countries deficit and now we are in debt. IF he can really say he agrees with stupid Bush then I have a bridge to sell him.
And someone needs to inform him that even though Blacks tend to vote Democrat does not mean they are all true democrats and liberals nor do Blacks tend to follow liberal agendas and thats a fact. He is missing the fact that Obama is encouraging and promoting the Black and Youth vote really getting Blacks interested in politics. There was a time when most Black people didn't even vote. Most Blacks by nature are somewhere down the middle and thats why most Blacks didn't vote in the past.Obamas belief is that we should become more involved in the voting process and this is what the problem is, More Blacks need to vote and become apart of the voting process. What has Mccain done?? You will very rarely meet a Black person who is extremely left wing liberal. If This Black man wanted to be different then why didn't he just become an independent like I did? I feel Most Blacks should register independent. But Republican Blacks really urk me with their holier than though attitude. GIVE me A BREAK!!

3. I had difficulty believing the above story. So your mother was tough and didn't want food stamps, but she used them, just made your father buy the food. What does that show? I had to have welfare help once while I went to college so I could better support my handicapped daughter and 2 older children. Did I like it? No, but a friend said to me that she would rather I get her money than someone that really wouldn't use it well. The welfare paid my child care for my invalid daughter.
Beyond that, Mrs. Palin may like to shoot moose, go ice fishing, snowmobiling etc but how does any of that qualify her for the VP position. She talks about family values but when did she find time to talk with her teenage daughter about the responsibilities that go along with sex, such as protecting herself against STDs and pregnancy. It is as though she is now flaunting the fact that her daughter is pregnant and saying what a supportive family they are. I feel sorry for this 17 year old girl and her 18 year old friend who will be forced into an early marriage before they are mature and ready. Who was remiss here? Mr. Obama adamently stated that the children should not be picked upon by the media, private business, but Mrs. Palin is the one who has brought her daughter into the lime light, milking it for all it's worth. Shame on her. They say that if something appears to good to be true, then it generally isn't. I'm afraid that I find her in that category. Alaska is a great state - been there twice, but I'm not very happy with this woman's behavior.

4. So when this guy says the "crazy uncle" in the family was he referring to Bristol Palin?

6. Uncle John told him to say that. Keeping it real...the only thing real about John McCAin is his age-his blatent smack of marriage when he divorced his handicapped wife for a 25 year old beauty. The only thing real about Sarah is her backwoods redneck family that she could not control.

7. Love covers a multitude of sin, so why would a loving mother put her daughter on display to the whole nation at one of the most critical times in the child’s life? Did Sarah Palin really expect the media and anyone else not to question and not to talk about it? Is it not reasonable to question how she would manage the country when she’s having trouble managing her home and children?

Mothers know that we don’t get to make decisions such as having sex for our teenage children and we know our children don’t always make the decisions we hope they would. When they make unwise decisions, sometimes we just have to be there to help them deal with the consequences of those decisions.

Mothers sacrifice for their children. They don’t put them on display in a time of crisis to advance their careers. What kind of pressure does the media attention bring to Palin’s daughter and her intended? Marriage is an adjustment; new marriage with a new baby is an even greater adjustment. How much more difficult is it going to be for the young couple with their every move under scrutiny?

Mothers cover, protect and shield their children from the world and help them grow up to take their place in it. They do all they can to give them the best chance to make it through the difficulties of growing up and face the challenges life bring. They don’t sacrifice them for the sake of advancing the mother’s career. Putting these children in this position for the sake of her career says Sarah Palin’s career comes before what is best for them.

Our children are most precious. If you have them, you should take time to be a mother to them. Sarah Palin, you have a newborn and a child having a child. Perhaps, seeking the vice presidency and advancing your political career should not be your main focus at the moment.

8. Boy, What a sellout! His ancestors probably sold us into slavery. If he didn't have food stamps when he was growing up, he'd probably would starved. There is nothing wrong about getting food stamps. They helped me when I lost my job but I didn't stay on them very long. I could never vote Republican especially after New Orleans. They showed us what they really thought of Black people. Cuba was trying to get there before our own Government. and this guy wants us to vote Republican? I'll vote for Obama in a heart beat not because of his inexperience but of his common sense. One more thing! Republicans are always talking about Democrats raising taxes, They sent our tax money to Iraq for the war and nothing is coming back to us. That's why major cities are going broke!

9. An average hockey mom? No,no, please no. But maybe its best for people to just look at this video. As a woman, an Alaskan and a Republican I feel we must serve God, then our families. This is what she has created in her home. What will she create in my beloved country? Please see www.HealZoo.com
Thank you

10. I am a woman, a Republican, a mother. We must care for own hearth. If we ruin our children we have failed in every way in which God intentended for us. I feel that a picture is worth a thousand words unless it is the words of the bible. Please look at www.HealZoo.com This woman has clearly left her poor children to fall into deep despair, sin, and drunkeness. If she cannot care for the children that God entrusted her with, she certainly can not lead my beautiful country.
Bless you all

11. Where did he say he endorsed Bush? I am a republican and do not support all of the Bush polcies. However, I don't understand why we are becoming a country which cripples those who are not helpless. We have become too dependent. Of course we need support, but at what point in time will we promote self for those who are not secure in themselves as perfectly capable citizens? And, what are the requirements for welfare going to be in the future? Everyone deserves a fair chance at success. But everyone has a God given right to fail, too.

12. So, he is black and he is a Republican. Is that okay with all you people. I think it takes courage for him to stand and say he is a Republican. And, he certainly hit one nail on the head. The Democrats do plan and will give many free rides, at the expense of your purse strings. And, that my dear people is why he says blacks are being exploited by the Democrats. Of course people will take what is freely given to them. But, will this motivate them to be better citizens. I think not. Perhaps some of you need to rethink your opinion of Obama's CHANGE. It certainly isn't going to be free to you!

13. Living in Shaker Heights is enough for me to know that you would feel this way.I guess John McCain would consider you poor unless you have that $5 million living in Shaker to be consider middle class. Growing up in the 80's you must have been sleep, drunk or high to think Ronald "The Devil" Regan was a great president. Sober or wake up and remember the 80's where were you?

14. There is no reason New Orleans is still looking the way it does and the current government the one McCain is heading in this race is still sending money overseas so please stop making excuses for me to believe this party in 4 years is going to make it better with this man who thinks the same way as Bush does. I rather that a strong YOUNG man to lead my country. The republicans party is always saying that the Democrats will raise taxes that may be true but because it will raise the rich more than they are use to paying that want to make it a scare tactic for the nation. The republican ticket is a joke

15. Oh blah blah blah! I was honestly hoping that something I read about this Sarah Palin lady would give me some idea as to how she is going to help this country. Instead, everything was about her own sheltered experience, "privileged to live most of her life in a small town." What in the world does she know about what the rest of the world needs? It sounds to me like McCain is fresh out of ideas, so he grabbed somebody's mom and said, "Please help me look like I care about women's issues." McCain couldn't find the feminine hygiene aisle in a grocery store! (Figuratively speaking) How could he possibly know what kind of female leader the majority of voters want? No knocks to Alaska, but what goes on in Alaska? What do they have there except for big time oil tycoons and snow? Do they face the same issues as other states? Are they aware of our issues? Palin needs to go back to Alaska and continue her PTA and other small town community duties.

Who can honestly say that, when McCain announced his pick for Vice Pres. nominee, that they did not immediately Google this Palin lady's name to find out who the heck she was?! Why would we waste our time on somebody that the rest of the world (anyone and everyone outside of Alaska) doesn't know anything about!? Wait, I left that open-ended. I don't need an answer to that question because it's simple. We shouldn't want to waste our time on a person who knows nothing (based on experience) about what the rest of America wants.

Especially when all she has to offer are just more of the same lame jabs at Obama. I doubt he'll waste his time reiterating that he doesn't care what McCain or this Palin lady think about his "experience." Two years of governing Alaska? Hah!
