The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

McCain Veep meltdown - he's unqualified to serve

by: Pam Spaulding

Fri Aug 29, 2008 at 13:46:28 PM EDT


If the first decision a presidential candidate makes about who will succeed him/her in an emergency is an indication of overall judgment, John McCain is unelectable.
"But as for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell ya, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me, what is it exactly that the VP does every day?"
- former Miss Alaska runnerup Sarah Palin, 8/1/08, on CNBC, "Kudlow and Company"
Mayor of a tiny town, two years as governor, and she is a promising addition to the ticket if you want a...

-- Womb control advocate
-- an anti-LGBT activist
-- religious right fembot
-- creationist.

I am sorry, this is such a slam to women everywhere if McCain thinks the mere fact one has a vagina (and is a hottie in his book) is a qualification to run the country and "attract the women and youth vote". I don't want to hear one whit about the GOP slamming Hillary Clinton all during this campaign season.

I want to see how they spin this utterly absurd pick.

Highlights/lowlights of her record are below the fold.

Pam Spaulding :: McCain Veep meltdown - he's unqualified to serve
Via HRC:
Prior to being elected governor, Palin supported the 1998 constitutional amendment barring marriage for same-sex couples and has said she would support a ballot measure overturning a state supreme court decision mandating benefits for domestic partners of state employees

·        She is close to "traditional values" groups, like Family Research Council, because she is strongly anti-choice

Marriage and Relationship Recognition

·        Palin told the Anchorage Daily News that she supported the 1998 constitutional amendment on marriage.

·        In addition, she told the Daily News that she would support a ballot question that would deny benefits to the domestic partners of public employees, which were ordered by an October 2005 decision of the Alaska Supreme Court, because, she said "honoring the family structure is that important." http://dwb.adn.com/news/politi...

·        While she followed the Court's decision and he also signed legislation her first legislative act as Governor of Alaskato put the issue on the April 2007 ballot for a nonbinding advisory vote.  This was the only issue on the ballot and that election cost the state taxpayers $1.2 million.  This measure passed, but the legislature did not follow the public's advice and it chose not to take any further action to overturn the court's decision.  

·        She did, however, veto legislation passed by the state legislature in 2006 that would have prohibited providing DP benefits to state workers, in defiance of the Alaska Supreme Court's ruling.  She did this after the Supreme Court had already ruled and the Attorney General (Republican) advised her that the legislation was unconstitutional.  Palin went on to state that, as a matter of policy, she was in favor of the bill.

Ties to Anti-LGBT Groups

·        She will be honored alongside anti-gay Representative Michelle Bachman (R-MN) at an event at the 2008 Republican Convention, the "Life of the Party," sponsored in part by long-time opponent of GLBT rights, Phyllis Schlafly.

Epic Fail of all time
When the Jesus freaks find out that among her 5 kids is a 4 month old baby they will die. In their minds she should be at home with that baby and not dragging it around the country campaigning.

McSame just lost Mississippi and Georgia. That's how severe their reaction will be.

The Dominionists are gonna vote for a Shirley Temple voiced pageant queen who only yesterday was PTA president? I don't think so.

The landslide just got so much bigger.

Dan Quayle is the big winner today.  


She IS a neoPentecostal Dominionist!
See link:
http://www.talk2action.org/sto...

Palin is a product of the Assemblies of God Churches, a denomination which has a reputation for cult abuse (exorcism of unwilling person; child raising practices as seen in the movie, "Jesus Camp", which seem emotionally abusive to non-cultists). You will remember that John Ashcroft was one of the relatively sane members of this denomination.


[ Parent ]
OMG
The kid is a 4-month old premie w/Down syndrome.  Where are this woman's priorities?  This is a time to be focused on her family at least a little longer as premie's aren't always the healthiest babies out there.  We're not talking about a woman w/an infant going back to a regular job.

[ Parent ]
Gimme a break
Does McCuckoo really think he is going to attract Hillary's female voters?  Um, John, Hillary's female voters tend to be social progressives.  They are not going to care that you picked a woman if the woman you picked is going to limit a woman's healthcare choice, reinforce traditional and outdated roles for women and harm LGBT people.

Anyone with half-a-brain (and studies show that social progressives tend to be better educated and better informed than social conservatives) will see this as pandering, albeit unsuccessfully, to women.

Who was his second choice, Andrea Lafferty and her Christian hair?

Vagina does not equal votes.


Hillary
I supported Hillary because of what she stands for, which is nearly identical to what Obama stands for, and for what she represents.  Sarah does stand for what Hillary stood for or represent what Hillary represents.  Selecting her to be VP is like selecting Clarence Thomas for the Supreme Court and pretending he is the equivalent of Thurgood Marshall.

yes, vagina does equal votes

Coup or woo?
She has very little executive experience, she has zero foreign policy cred, she's embroiled in what could be a rather nasty scandal, and even the punditry finds her moniker as the "reformer" to be rather laughable given that she's the governor of what is still the most corrupt state government in the country.

My gut tells me that there has to be something more to her than just the idea that McCain is making a play for disaffected Hillary supporters.  Republican politicking is rarely this transparent, but I think it may really be as simple as that.  For a party that worships Reagan as much as it does, you would think that they would have learned the lesson that Democrats were taught the hard way back in 1984.

"Why Martha!  Your Sunday chapel dress!"


he's going for the unaffiliated penis vote
seriously.  they'll make this look like pro-women thing, but he didn't pick a woman with wrinkles or flab, he picked a looker.  that translates in the 14 yr old male mind (which resides in the brain of most?/many?/all? men) as a dick licker.  it is one of the first and certainly among the most frequent comments on the boards.  well good luck with that, johnnie,, because for every woody palin gives a pig, she drives the woman in that pig's life away from the polls.  perfect pick by a limp dick!

Remember when they decided that Clarence Thomas was a worthy successor to Thurgood Marshall.  Yep, a crazy right wing loon is the same as a civil rights hero because they are both black?  Oh, the GOP is so much the party of out of touch old people who miss segregation and having dinner served to them when they get home from work.

She has a perfect voice...for a beauty queen. Like ya know?

her voice is ok but

Dancing Queen meets Beauty Queen

It's not the first time he's picked a much younger woman.

Senator McSame and Miss Alaska.

She's married to Big Oil.

Does she even have a passport? I can't find any indication that she's ever been abroad.

I've been thinking of her as Sarah Quaylin, myself.

more pics?
I wonder if Larry Flint will find some previously undiscovered photos of Governor Palin? Surely such pics would have surfaced by now right?  Still, they'd really make this an even more interesting race.

Electricity's for light bulbs!

I hope not
Publish any nude photos of her and she'll have the hetero-male-aged 18-21 vote locked up.

Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,

you may as well have some pride

Seriously, I don't think that 18-21 year old men have a high percentage of active voting... anyone know for a fact?

[ Parent ]
Antidotal
My oldest son has voted in statewide and federal elections since 1998 and my second son voted in the 2004 elections when he turned 18.  

Both of them were interested in who McCain would choose (the younger is a Democrat, the older Independent leaning Republican) and talked to me later about what sort of positives and negatives she would bring to the campaign.  The hotness factor wasn't raised.  


[ Parent ]
They Might Get the Hetero-Male Vote
but think of all the fundie votes they would lose. I heard one Repug yes-woman on CNN earlier as much as admit they chose this woman for her anti-choice, pro-life beliefs. They are hoping to shore up the conservative base that are not really in love with McSame. They are also looking to try and fool as many of the still unhappy Hillary voters as they can  into voting for the ticket too.
I almost feel sorry for some of these talking yes-people on the cable news shows. Almost. Some of them still look shell shocked.

[ Parent ]
creationist
"The volatile issue of teaching creation science in public schools popped up in the Alaska governor's race this week when Republican Sarah Palin said she thinks creationism should be taught alongside evolution in the state's public classrooms.
Palin was answering a question from the moderator near the conclusion of Wednesday night's televised debate on KAKM Channel 7 when she said, 'Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of information. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both.'
The Anchorage Daily News has more:
In an interview Thursday, Palin said she meant only to say that discussion of alternative views should be allowed to arise in Alaska classrooms:
"I don't think there should be a prohibition against debate if it comes up in class. It doesn't have to be part of the curriculum."
She added that, if elected, she would not push the state Board of Education to add such creation-based alternatives to the state's required curriculum.
Members of the state school board, which sets minimum requirements, are appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Legislature.
"I won't have religion as a litmus test, or anybody's personal opinion on evolution or creationism," Palin said.
snip
Palin said she thought there was value in discussing alternatives.
"It's OK to let kids know that there are theories out there," she said in the interview. "They gain information just by being in a discussion."
That was how she was brought up, she said. Her father was a public school science teacher.
"My dad did talk a lot about his theories of evolution," she said. "He would show us fossils and say, 'How old do you think these are?' "
Asked for her personal views on evolution, Palin said, "I believe we have a creator."

Tiara
I just saw a clip of her on TV and her little daughter was wearing a tiara. So, her girls a probably in pageants.

If so, there has to be photos.

Remember what people thought of Patsy Ramsay when the photos of Jon Benet wearing her little pageant outfits surfaced? That was the real reason why people thought she was guilty of murder.

Actually she has only been governor for 20 months
She has led the third-smallest state for such a short time, who knows what effect her leadership has had?  She only won 114 thousand votes to become voter -- far less than many local elections in the US.  

Palin Doesn't Know What a Vice President Does
I just read at the Politico that as little as a month ago Palin was dissing the job of Vice President and saying that she didn't think that the job seemed very productive. Her words to the reporter:

"As for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell you, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day? I'm used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we're trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S., before I can even start addressing that question."

Of course, you also have to know...
The McCain people will NOT hesitate to play the "sexism card" to anyone who goes after this ridiculously unqualified candidate.  They'll make the Hillary supporters look like Phyllis Schlafy in their sudden zeal to protect the rights of outraged womanhood.  

Be prepared.


Counter Attack
My guess is the Democrats will get Hillary out there as much as possible "preaching to the choir" as it were why this pick is so reckless and how Palin hardly represents her views and the views of her progressive supporters.  That would take care of the "sexism card".  

To be honest, if I had been a female supporter of Hillary's, I'd be very insulted at this move by McBush.  

"Let's put a female on the ticket!  They're too stupid to realize that she's unqualified and will vote for our ticket just because there's a woman on it."

Has Hillary commented yet?
WWHS? (What would Hillary say?)

Here's her statement
Via NPR:

Hillary Clinton released the following statement on McCain's selection of Palin:

"We should all be proud of Governor Sarah Palin's historic nomination, and I congratulate her and Senator McCain. While their policies would take America in the wrong direction, Governor Palin will add an important new voice to the debate."

America got Punked Today


Palin Sucked as Mayor
It seems that Sarah was not the mayor the repug would have you believe. As mayor of Wasilla, she got the town in a mess of trouble involving a sports arena that she wanted to build as her legacy as mayor. The town had the oportunity to buy the land for the arena from the national office of The Nature Conservancy for about 125K but because of her incompetence or neglect a land developer jumped in and bought the land. In spite of this, Palin and the town started construction and built the sports arena on the land they did not own. Afterwards they tried to take the title from the developer using eminemt domain laws. The case ended up in court and the developer won. Now the town is paying 1.7 million in settlement fees and court costs. The sports arena is also having to be subsidized because it is losing money. This is quite a hardship for a town of less than 6000. They are having to cut all kinds of costs to make these payments including money that was supposed to go to the town library. Wasn't that nice of dear Sarah to do this for her town? (note the sarcasm)
Of course Palin was long gone by the end of this. She had moved on from being her Mayorship to Madam Governor. And now she wants to make a move to Washington D.C.
