Video: Palin votes in Wasilla

Another mid-day motivator for our swing-staters. Three points of note. First, her reaction halfway through to the new Troopergate report: “I tell you, you didn’t believe us. We told you that we had done nothing wrong!” Second, the extent to which she ignores her aides’ attempts to shoo reporters away. After two months of them trying to hush her up, she wants to chat, and chat she shall. And finally, her refusal to say who she voted for. Has the ‘Cuda caught a little Hopenchange fee-vah? (No.)
If the fates are unkind tonight, we’ve got maybe three more weeks of seeing her on TV — postmortem interviews here and there, plus the inevitable Barbara Walters sitdown — and then she’s gone, into the Alaskan ether until 2012. Heart-ache.

Ahhhh…Alaska in November, dark and cold. She brightens up even Wasilla…which is very hard to do.
You Betcha!

Sarah Palin, our modern day Esther! As Paul Harvey says, now you know the rest of the story!
She is OUR blessing!
CreationistConservativeWarrior on November 4, 2008 at 3:09 PM
me too, I don’t care if her husband is eskimo. what really freaks me out is that she pals around with Jesus.
anti-boomer on November 4, 2008 at 3:09 PM
Well I look just about as bad in my fencing outfit. One night a bunch of us plus fifty guys were standing around talking at the fencing club and my wife said we looked like a half dozen eggs with legs.
jmarcure on November 4, 2008 at 3:10 PM
Yes. It is sad when the veneer falls away.
However, Bear drank freshly squeezed elephant poo juice. Get back to me when you can top that ;)
LimeyGeek on November 4, 2008 at 3:10 PM
You are an idiot for saying that. Maybe I should like you because you hug trees.
upinak on November 4, 2008 at 3:10 PM
ROFL! The imagery! :)
LimeyGeek on November 4, 2008 at 3:11 PM
I love Sarah.
Thought about voting for Bob Barr until she was nominated. She and Bobby Jindel are our future.
Sarah from Alaska. I hope she heads the Republican party if McCain loses.
If McCain wins he can thank Sarah. No doubt the media will blame her if he loses. As if it was McCain that got the base fired up and drew all the huge crowds and when Sarah was nominated money was pouring in had over fist.
I will never forget her nomination speech in Minn. nor her debate with Biden – she kicked butt.
I had to go to the GOP website and re-watch her nomination speech at least 3 times.
Loved it.

I see you dirty birds are still at it. What did I miss? Had to throttle a clogged kitchen drain.
HornetSting on November 4, 2008 at 3:12 PM
You may need to recalibrate your satire-o-meter ;)
LimeyGeek on November 4, 2008 at 3:12 PM
I have eaten maggots and drank out of a still bog with leaches and ate raw meat from a bear who killed a Caibou.
You can’t pay me enough to eat, drink or anything from the ass of an animal! Sorry… worms are not my idea of fun and Bear (the total tard he is) has to have de-worming pills every other weeks due to the round worms he got.
I am not stupid!
upinak on November 4, 2008 at 3:13 PM
uh, personally I like Jesus huggers. Funny how authentically liberal my dripping irony sounds.
anti-boomer on November 4, 2008 at 3:13 PM
….and a Muscular Foreign Policy, and she’s not an absolutist, non-compromising type. Which seperates her from the paultards and other ‘princpled’ factions. i.e. she could actually govern and get elected
jp on November 4, 2008 at 3:03 PM
she is the closest thing to a liberatian that they will ever have elected to high office. The liberatians should rally around her if they were smart.
unseen on November 4, 2008 at 3:13 PM
Currently trying to convince the plumber working on said “throttled” kitchen drain to vote for McCain/Palin. Explained higher taxes on small businesses and with Obama, he could lose his jobs. His scary affiliations….think he may be voting our way.
HornetSting on November 4, 2008 at 3:14 PM
Were you the bleached white, free roaming or brown eggs?
upinak on November 4, 2008 at 3:14 PM
Still….poo juice FTW ;)
LimeyGeek on November 4, 2008 at 3:14 PM
Limey and Upinak are trying to determine who’s the better survivalist.
Jmarcure and Anti-Boomer are having a sarc-off.
Manly and I are keeping the running commentary going. Back to you MR.

Damnity.
here is some rope.. tie yourself up. I will be chum painting you later.
upinak on November 4, 2008 at 3:15 PM
Why thank you, Grue. So Hornet…what’s YOUR sign?
ManlyRash on November 4, 2008 at 3:15 PM
yeah, but blood is better. The irony taste lastes for a while.

FORMER HILLARY CLINTON LOVER HERE. KEY WORD:
F-O-R-M-E-R!!!! GOODBYE HILLARY, YOU SOLD YOUR SOUL TO SUPPORT THAT SEXIST PIG BARACK OBAMA, AND YOU SUCK! AND ALL OF THE WOMEN WHO WENT OUT AND VOTED FOR THAT PIG SUCK. AND ALL BECAUSE YOU JUST LOVE TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE A BABY RIPPED FROM YOUR WOMB. SICK, SICK, SICK, SICK!!!!
SARAH PALIN IS MY NUMBER 1 GAL NOW. SUCK ON THAT!

Give it up for Grue, folks! He’s the best.
ManlyRash on November 4, 2008 at 3:17 PM
Are you kidding me? The earrings turned me away but this? I mean I have to vote for her now. I didn’t know she had friends in such high places. It beats having unrepentant former terrorists as friends hands down.
jmarcure on November 4, 2008 at 3:17 PM
Ah, hell, it’s come to this….Capricorn.
HornetSting on November 4, 2008 at 3:18 PM
PS. Although I enjoy Bear’s show, if you want the genuine article, try Ray Mears for size….or go ‘down under’ for a bit of Les Hiddins.
LimeyGeek on November 4, 2008 at 3:18 PM
What the fark are Russian flies? Anything like French ticklers? (he asked hopefully)
ManlyRash on November 4, 2008 at 3:18 PM
Bleached. I have free roaming chickens and their eggs are no where as large and round as we looked.
jmarcure on November 4, 2008 at 3:19 PM
Nice. I’m a Leo. Let’s start a menagerie….rooowrrrrr
ManlyRash on November 4, 2008 at 3:20 PM
Now HE is neat. I have read some stuff he has done.
upinak on November 4, 2008 at 3:20 PM
i’m guessing that means we are chums again: you’re offering to gitmo me because of an innocent improvised satyrical device.

What ever comes from this election, Republicans have found our new Ronald Reagan.
Democrats have found their new Jimmy Carter.

Dang I went to Taco Bell and missed the funnest thread of the day!

She didn’t vote for McCain.
She either wrote in her own name or Jesus.

No kidding. I’ve been snickering in my little cubicle for a while.
I didn’t realize how badly we all need the catharsis of laughter on this day.
Dude, run before YOU get painted with hot chum.
Marine_Bio on November 4, 2008 at 3:36 PM
The Goreacle says its hot out, global warming (whoops, “climate change”) has made it the hottest year ever, regardless if you think its cold or not. Whom are you going to believe, yourself or the Goreacle?
In the coming years in an Obama administration, the Goreacle will declare what the weather is like and all meteorological data will be reworked to give the correct data matching the Goreacle’s statements…
Geministorm on November 4, 2008 at 3:37 PM
That woman certainly has class. With any luck she’ll be leading the Republican party for years to come.

Dear Mr. Rash
If you have not yet highlighted Malstrom’s “TOAST” to our fellow HAers, then will you do so by giving it your seal of approval. I found it profoundly uplifting.
Semper Paratus
DrStock on November 4, 2008 at 3:41 PM
I hope she runs whenever she has the best chance. I would kind of like to see Newt win the nomination in 2012 just for the debates. Then Palin can take it in ‘16.
V15J on November 4, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Drywall is STILL ANGRY that he is a Canadian.
HornetSting on November 4, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Oh, he has. Linked it several times himself actually. :)
*eats*
Grue in the Attic on November 4, 2008 at 3:43 PM
WTF? She’s gonna be the VP and then running for president in ‘12. Get with the program.
HornetSting on November 4, 2008 at 3:45 PM
Spread it around by linking your nic to it (I did early this morning)

Hey, Rywall
What she said…
JAM on November 4, 2008 at 3:46 PM
My son was standing in line to vote today, and a black lady who said she’d been a democrat all her life was voting for McCain…..said she worked too hard for her money to see it given away. Smart lady.
americanpatriot on November 4, 2008 at 3:47 PM
That article has got me through this day unmedicated.
Oink on November 4, 2008 at 3:48 PM
That’s our kind of woman.

Did you know that every bumper sticker counts for 12 votes? I bet every anecdote like this counts for 100 voters.
RushBaby on November 4, 2008 at 3:50 PM
can we have a new round of anecdotes over here at HA corner?
anti-boomer on November 4, 2008 at 3:57 PM
paaalease. Newt? He’s good for something but not that.
johnnyU on November 4, 2008 at 3:57 PM
When I tried earlier to link the “Toast” article, I click on “link” and I pasted the link address into the new window but it failed to appear in my post. What am I doing wrong? When I pasted in the link I noticed the http: disappeared. Do I need to include that too?
Thanks for your help
Semper Paratus(but not that good with the posting tabs yet!)
DrStock on November 4, 2008 at 3:59 PM
geeze Nuge tell us what ya really think. lol.

Done. Sean Malstrom has the Official Manly Rash Seal of Approval.
All Hot Air Heads are urged to read this important analysis and be comforted by its wisdom. And remember:
Trust Manly. Manly is good. Manly is wise. Manly knows.
ManlyRash on November 4, 2008 at 4:00 PM
Other than that Dave is very fond of the outdoors and loves nature – in spite of what it did to him.
ManlyRash on November 4, 2008 at 4:03 PM
The http that’s in there will disappear, the one you paste in with the entire URL is the only one you need.
Make sure you have a word or phrase highlighted in the text you typed up first so the link will be associated with something you typed.
Hope that helps
RushBaby on November 4, 2008 at 4:04 PM
Thanks RushBaby. That does help.

Conservatives in Massachusetts have Carhartts, too… And Grunders. Just in case you were wondering. It’s not as cold here and that’s the way we like it.
I wish the press would leave Todd and Sarah alone. They have to pack for the trip to DC.
turfmann on November 4, 2008 at 4:11 PM
But it’s a pretty black square.

Ozark_sky on November 4, 2008 at 4:35 PM{/blockquote}
Do what I did, just turn { and } into Shift-, and Shift-. (can’t actually type them because the code screws up). Or use the “quote” button above your box to plop them down – hitting it once puts down the first piece, then paste your message, then push the button again to close the bracket.
Then just hit enter and type your own message :)

Grue in the Attic on November 4, 2008 at 4:40 PM
So is there where the line begins to accept Obama into my heart as my own personal Savior?
wccawa on November 4, 2008 at 4:46 PM
After you paste the other person’s comment, highlight it then tap the “quote” button.
Then continue to type underneath there. Use the preview button below the text box until you get the hang of it.
RushBaby on November 4, 2008 at 4:48 PM
Thanks Grue. I’m going pay your web site a visit. :)
Ozark_sky on November 4, 2008 at 4:52 PM
Thanks so mush Rush. I think I’m catching on.
Ozark_sky on November 4, 2008 at 4:56 PM
The MSM has deemed it that just coming from the State of Alaska means you are unqualified for a Federal office.
Speedwagon82 on November 4, 2008 at 5:08 PM
I officially have a girl crush on Gov. Palin. Loud and proud!
Get out and VOTE!!! McPalin 08
