Blend-o-licious endorsements...



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.

Palin's comments on 2012 leave McCain aide speechless

by: Pam Spaulding

Wed Oct 29, 2008 at 19:06:07 PM EDT


Boy, did he pick a real backstabber as his running mate. In her zeal to distance herself from John McCain as he begins to smell like week-old trash in 100 degree heat, Bible Spice, in an interview with Elizabeth Vargas for ABC, basically shouted out she's in the race for 2012. Talk about bad form - they haven't lost yet. I'm sure all the downticket Republicans have agita tonight.

And the McCain peeps were rendered speechless when asked to comment. Here's how it was covered on CNN:


Wolf Blitzer: And this just coming into the "Situation Room," the Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin now speaking out openly about her intentions in 2012 if, if she and John McCain were to lose this contest next Tuesday.  In an interview with ABC News, Sarah Palin is now saying, she would be interested in remaining a serious national political figure, going ahead to 2012.  She was asked what happens in 2012 if you lose on Tuesday, would you simply go back to Alaska?  

Elizabeth Vargas of ABC News asked her and Palin said this, and I will read it to you verbatim according to an ABC News transcript: "Absolutely not," Sarah Palin says. "I think that, if I were to give up and wave a white flag of surrender against some of the political shots that we've taken, that ... that would ... bring this whole ... I'm not doin' this for naught," and that is a direct quote from Sarah Palin.  Clearly, leaving open the possibility that she would be interested in leading the Republican Party in 2012 if she and John McCain were to lose this presidential contest right now.  Let's go to Dana Bash.  She has been covering the McCain campaign reaction from the rather blunt statement from Sarah Palin that she would in fact be interested in leading the Republican Party going forward after Tuesday if they lose?

Dana Bash: I just got off of the phone, Wolf, with a senior McCain adviser and I read this person the quote and I think it is fair to say that this person was speechless.  There was a long pause and I just heard a "huh" on the other end of the phone.  This is certainly not a surprise to anybody who has watched Sarah Palin that she is interested in potentially future national runs, and she is being urged to by a lot of people inside of the Republican Party if they do lose, but it is an "if" and people inside of the McCain campaign do not want any discussion that has an "if" in front of it six days before the election, they don't want any discussion at all, any kind of hypothetical talk about running for the next time around.  So certainly, this is not at least initially being received well inside of the McCain campaign.

Wolf Blitzer: I am not surprised, not surprised at all. It is one of those "wow, she is talking about 2012 if we lose," that is not supposed to be something that you say.  You are supposed to say, "well, I'm not looking ahead, I'm not looking ahead only to Tuesday," and those are the talking points she's supposed to be saying, but she is obviously blunt and she is looking ahead if something were to happen on Tuesday that she wouldn't be happy with.

Oh come on!
There has got to be a more qualified person to lead the Republican party.

I think thats
an oxymoron, Zorya if I ever heard one.

It's the Hammer of JUSTICE,
It's the Bell of FREEDOM,
It's the Song about LOVE between,
my Brothers and my Sisters
...All over this Land.

Not necessarily
He's probably too old to run for prez now, but one of the R former govs to endorse Obama, Arne Carlson, at one time could have headed a 'real' Republican party.  This is a guy who, as a state rep, went to bat for Ts against the Democrats and later, as gov, signed the first  state T-inclusive civil rights law. (And - fair disclosure - I clerked for a guy that he appointed to a judgeship in MN.)

By 2012, the Republicans will either be totally in the hands of the fundies
or have corralled them back into the background as reliable well trained voting sheep.

If the former, she will be the nominee in 12. If not....then the wink and dropped end consonants from words will just be frightening reminders of a year that a VP nominee lost the election...

Blitzer was wrong on one count
She cannot remain a "serious" figure as she has not been a serious political figure for some weeks now...

You assume she was EVER a serious figure
She was a joke candidate from the very start.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même merde.

Bring it on, Sarah!
There's already enough ammo in your gaffes on YouTube to sink a Russian submarine. Also.

Maybe she can get a chair with Steven Colbert; she's apparently got an incredible sense of humor! Or she's the most delusional whackadoo yet out of the GOP- and that's saying something.

There's enough to sink the entire Russian navy...
which must be worrying for Moscow, since she can see Siberia from her house.

If McCain wins
There is going to be a job listing for "Food Taster" running in all the papers.

Except that no one will be dumb enough to take the job.

I've suspected all along
that Palin, along with Bil Kristol and the other wonks who promoted her, was counting on her getting elected with McCain and him being unable to serve out his term.  Now, I'm quite sure of it.  They couldn't get their candidate into the White House honestly, so they had to do it by stealth. But the White House is their aim.

If the rest of the Republican Party lets this happen, what scant claim they have to respectability will be gone.  As well as any lingering suspicion they have functional brains.  Palin's poll numbers are approaching a neighborhood down around George Bush's.  Could any political party with a brain in its collective head nominate a candidate like that?

Cynic, n.  A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.

Do it, Sarah, run in 2012
Get all the fundies, racists and bigots to line up behind you and drink your tasty Kool Aid. You're the reason my Republican neighbors are voting for Obama. I wonder how many more moderates you can scare away when you're running things without any censor at all?

Cause any fool knows, a dog needs a home; a shelter from pigs on the wing

The hilarious thing is...
she's treating McCain like a liability, but he probably would be doing better in the polls with a different VP pick.

I gotta hand it to the Ice Princess.....that's COLD
rigour mortis hasn't even set in....ouch

"race, taste. and History finally overcome....and you ain't there"
by Tony Kushner


All I can think of...
...is the White Witch in Chronicles of Narnia... Palin will make sure it's always winter and never Christmas.

Queen Jadis Palin of Charn
What a wonderful mental image! Appropriate too - when faced with defeat, Jadis wiped out all life on Charn and Palin seems set on wiping out the Repugs. I guess that would mean McCain is Maugrim, Jadis' wolf, and Alaska's First Prude would be her dwarf.

I'm no expert on republican evangelicals, but...
... I thought Huckabee had those folks pretty solidly in his camp.  The '12 Republican primary race could be interesting with Huck on his guitar trying to out-folksy Caribou Barbie for the wing-nut vote.

And Huck has already announced
his 2012 campaign.  As have Romney, Giuliani and now Palin.  And Pam thought this year's Republican field was a clown car!  Never underestimate the GOP's ability to make things even worse.

Interesting possibility
Should Barbie McMooseDropping snag the top spot in '12 (I refsue to underestimate the stupididy of rabid christianists - particularly of the drunk, horny male variety), would Baptist preacher Huck accept the #2 spot?  In clear violation of biblical edict against women having authority over men?
