About comments

I've been talking with Barracuda Babe and Dots for Dummies and a few other friend bloggers about their comments.

Every single comment we get from Obama types includes something so nasty about John McCain or Sarah Palin that we can't publish their comments.

I don't have a problem posting opposing views, that's what makes for a good discussion. Intelligent, respectful disagreement is perfectly fine. I'll get a really good thought from someone on the "other side" but it's surrounded by vicious personal attacks that I wouldn't say about my worst enemy, much less allow the comment. Most, but not all, come from individuals known only as "anonymous".

What is it about Obama supporters that they have to be so ugly? Is that the mindset that wants to run our country? Is that the kind of people that are attracted to this man? I have never experienced such hate before. I know how my mother felt when she used to say she needed to wash someone's mouth out with soap. Some brains need to be scrubbed!

I'm so glad these blogs have the ability to monitor comments.

Team Sarah, Red State Feminists, Joe Biden and David Letterman

Team Sarah (.com) is a great new website and an easy way to meet other supporters of Sarah. I've been over looking around but haven't joined yet. I will.

There are some excellent sites cropping up in support of Sarah Palin all over the net. One of the new members on our network is the Red State Feminists (.org).

What are we all going to do after Sarah and John McCain win on November 4th? I think Sarah will need our support more than ever in the coming years. If we think the media is full of nasty now, wait until she's in office. There will be more bad jokes and stabs than ever I believe.

I am excited about her debate with Joe Bidenism. They are probably working so hard to try and keep him from adding to the list of Bidenisms that it will be impossible for him not to make another!

Did anyone see David Letterman Thursday night? Talk about being hot under the collar! I can't exactly blame him for being mad, but he did get a bit carried away. If I had invited someone to my show (or house) and they cancelled and told me they had to hop a plane, then I saw them talking to another show host (or at a friends party), I would be angry. I don't know why it was handled like that but I would imagine something changed at the last minute. Talking serious matters to a newscaster is a lot different than cracking jokes during a financial crisis, but a phone call to let Letterman know things had changed would have been a nice gesture.

I haven't read McCain's side of things, but having Letterman as an enemy is not good. Then again, when Letterman likes you it can be pretty darned uncomfortable, too. I've never cared for Letterman's politics or some of his humor, but he is someone who has a lot of followers who can be influenced by his comments.

Cool blog on the Constitution

I was wandering around one of the sites linked in our Read My Lipstick Network and came across a blog titled "Celebrate the Constitution" (http://celebratetheconstitution.blogspot.com). It appears to be new but it has a lot of great information already. You may want to take a look at that one and then another that is part of the same group, Patriotic Potpourri (http://patrioticpotpourri.blogspot.com).

Isn't it great to find people in this country who aren't ashamed to say they love and support it? The blogs are part of a site called Fayette Front Page (www.fayettefrontpage.com) in Georgia.

Have a blessed day! I'm going to get back to work as I'm one of the lucky ones who still has a job that appears to be secure.

A "Real" Woman

I think one of the reasons Sarah Palin is catching the attention and enthusiasm of so many is because she comes across as "real". She drives her own car to work (which will change once she's VP I'm sure, for security reasons!). She has kids who act out at times, who aren't perfect. She sticks to her guns on issues (ha ha, no pun intended with the gun thing). She works her butt off and gets things done. She has principles. She's willing to change her mind and makes no excuses about it.

Barack is going after the change mantra that Sarah Palin and John McCain have adopted. It's a different kind of change. It's change Washington. It's a change of ethics. Obama has shown he's just more Washington. He can be jerked around by the insiders. He isn't independent. He comes across as someone who's just talking the same old talk.

I've listened to him and listened and once you get away from all the somewhat great delivery it's empty. I read his releases, I get all his stuff. Sorry, no substance.

Now Palin on the other hand has substance.

Changing subjects just a bit here, I've been reading some other blogs about Sarah Palin. She is being hit from all sides with stuff that has been proven to be false, yet they keep saying it over and over giving it new life. I have found a few positive blogs, but it's hard and I don't think that's because they're not there, I think the search engines are owned by a bunch of liberals who are probably going through and changing the listing parameters so the positive ones won't show. Hmmm, I wonder what words they'd use? I bet they make sure if a blog has Sarah or Palin in the title it won't get on the engines.

Yes, I know I'm sounding paranoid or conspiratorial, but try to find the good blogs about her and you'll find they aren't listed on the first umpteen pages at all. I had to get real creative to find stuff, but I did. I'll try to add it to the sidebar when I have a minute (assuming anyone is reading this or has even been able to find it!)
