Even Sarah Palin Is Disgusted With John McCain’s Use Of Robo Calls

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


When Sarah Palin speaks extemporaneously it seems like the Pentecostal hottie is speaking in tongues. I keep waiting for someone in the audience to stand up and interpret her utterance.

Palin makes a modicum of sense only when she is reading from a teleprompter or reciting talking points. When she’s off script she looks like a moose caught in her husbands snow mobile headlights.

Palin comes to life when she is smearing Barack Obama with outrageous lies. Her eyes light when she accuses Obama of “palling around with terrorists.” Palin is such a ruthless campaigner that she makes Attila the Hun look like a wimp.

But even Palin is disgusted by the McCain camp’s use of robo calls.

“Here’s what Palin said in Colorado last night: ‘If I called all the shots, and if I could wave a magic wand, I would be sitting at a kitchen table with more and more Americans, talking to them about our plan to get the economy back on track and winning the war and not having to rely on the old conventional ways of campaigning that includes those robocalls.’” — Trail Blazers Blog/Todd J. Gillman

This may be the only time that Palin made sense when she wasn’t reading from a script. I commend Palin for denouncing robo calls, no campaign should rely on this despicable tactic. I recently wrote an article that explains McCain’s use of robo calls in detail

I wish Palin would talk about the economy, and refrain from bashing Obama. If Palin really wants to change the tone of the campaign, she can start by sticking to the issues.

Obama was delighted with Palin’s condemnation of robo calls:

“Obama blasted the other side for negative campaigning, using Gov. Sarah Palin’s statement yesterday - distancing herself from the flood of robocalls the McCain operation and the RNC have poured on battleground voters, trying to link Obama to Vietnam-era radical William Ayers.

‘It’s getting so bad that even Sen. McCain’s running mate denounced his tactics last night. You know, you really have to work hard to violate Gov. Palin’s standards on negative campaigning. You gotta work hard,’ Obama told the crowd of about 8,000 in Tampa. ‘He’s on the attack. That’s what you do when you’re out of touch, out of ideas and running out of time.’” [ MORE ]

Americans are disgusted with robo calls, and we need to send John McCain a clear message that we won’t put up with gutter politics by voting for Obama/Biden.

Sarah Palin Plays The Fear And Race Cards

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,


ABC News’ Imtiyaz Delawala Reports: Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin invoked fear for the first time when discussing Sen. Barack Obama’s connection to former 60’s radical William Ayers.

‘I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way that you and I see America — as the greatest source for good in this world,’ Palin said of Obama to 2,000 supporters at a rally in Clearwater, Florida this morning. “I’m afraid this someone who sees America as imperfect enough to work with a former domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country.’

‘This, ladies and gentlemen, has nothing to do with the kind of change that anyone can believe in, not my kids, not for your kids,’ Palin added.” http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/10/palin-plays-fea.html

With only a month to go before the general election, McCain finds himself behind in all the national polls, and most importantly trailing in all the battleground states. McCain feels he has no choice but to play the fear card, and so once again we are forced to endure the spectacle of GOP gutter politics.

Palin is playing the fear card, she is misrepresenting Obama as a radical with dubious personal associations.

It’s ironic that the McCain camp choose Palin to deliver the opening blow of their campaign of dirty tricks, when nobody inspires more fear than the governor of Alaska.

I tremble when I think of the awful prospect of McCain winning the general election, and then quickly dying. That would leave a woman who isn’t even qualified to be a White House clerical employee as leader of the free world.

The choice is quite clear, should we vote for Obama who represents and embodies hope and change, or should we go with a grouchy old man who resorts to playing the fear card?

Playing the fear card is bad enough, but the McCain card is also subliminally playing the race card. Racists see African Americans as different from other Americans, they are the “other” who think differently and act differently. Palin is arguing that “You and I” (read: Whites) see America one way and Obama sees America another way. Obama like most blacks, Palin is subliminally suggesting, is criminally-minded and likely to pal around with other scum like terrorists.

Racism

Reckless and desperate politicians rely on fear and racism to inspire citizens to vote for them, and statesmen trust in the goodness of the American people.

Vote for hope and change, and say no to fear and racism by voting for Obama the first Tuesday in November.
