Rush Limbaugh's almost endless list of "what if" eloquently demonstrates the bias the of main stream media when it comes to President Obama.  Listen for yourself.

Palin: 'I Think These Guys Are The Toughest Men On The Planet'

The Iron Dogs are still racing!  Checkpoints and details about the racers here.

From www.ktuu.com:

NOME, Alaska —

Iron Dog racers spend countless hours preparing for and riding in the 2,000-mile snowmachine race -- the world's longest. It's also hard on their wives, but for former Alaska Gov. and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin it's part of the routine.

"It's stay out of the way," Palin said as her husband Todd Palin and his Iron Dog teammate, Eric Quam, worked on their sleds on a blustery Wednesday night in Nome. "Those who are closest to these guys know what they need to do."

Spousal support at the Iron Dog is more than just a happy wife cheering her husband on from the sidelines. At the Iron Dog, a race from Anchorage to Fairbanks with a stop in Nome, where average speeds can approach 80 mph on ice-covered rivers in Alaska's remote Interior, spousal support means trekking to Nome for the halfway festivities -- sometimes with snowmachine parts in hand.

Palin: Here’s to Libya’s Freedom

  If you're keeping score (and I am), Sarah Palin issued her response to the situation in Libya some 19 hours before President Obama issued his.  Palin encouraged NATO to establish  a no-fly zone over Libya as a result of reports that Libya's own air forces were being used to slaugter innocent people. YnetNews is reporting the following response from NATO:

The source said NATO and US warplanes stationed in Italy may be ordered to take down Libyan planes, and that electronic warfare against them may already have been implemented.

From Sarah Palin's Facebook page:

It’s a little perplexing looking at the White House today. There was a statement on the horrible earthquake in New Zealand, and certainly our hearts go out to all those affected by this horrible natural disaster. But nothing on the slaughter in Libya? The protests in many places in the Middle East affect regimes that have cooperated with the U.S. on issues from peace with Israel, fighting al Qaeda, hosting our military forces, or cooperating against Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Gaddafi’s Libya is different. For four decades, this tyrant has held power. Gaddafi was Osama before Osama hit the scene. He ordered the bombing of a disco in Germany to kill Americans. When he paid the price for that – after President Reagan rightly ordered retaliation – he directed his agents to blow up Pan Am Flight 103. They did, and more than 250 innocent people died. Gaddafi tried to come in from the cold in 2003 – scared by the demonstration effect of Iraq. But we should have no illusions. Gaddafi is a brutal killer and Libya – not to mention the world – would be better off if he were out of power. Now is the time to speak out. Speak out for the long-suffering Libyan people. Speak out for the victims of Gaddafi’s terror. NATO and our allies should look at establishing a no-fly zone so Libyan air forces cannot continue slaughtering the Libyan people. We should not be afraid of freedom, especially when it comes to people suffering under a brutal enemy of America. Here’s to freedom from Gaddafi for the people of Libya.

From Sarah Palin's Facebook page February 22:

Todd and his racing partner Eric Quam are doing very well and helping lead the pack as they'll soon be near the 1000-mile half-way point in Nome. They’ve been breaking trail through three feet of new snow! All these athletes are rugged and tough. Please keep all the racers in your prayers. More

 

Palin: Union Brothers and Sisters: Seize Opportunity to Show True Solidarity

Posted to Sarah Palin's Facebook page February 18th:

The union-led school closures and demonstrations in Madison have left most ordinary Americans shaking their heads in disbelief. Months ago, I penned a message to my fellow union brothers and sisters when I found myself on the receiving end of union boss Richard Trumka’s wrath. Yesterday’s demonstrations reminded me of the full-page ads taken out against me when I put my foot down in dealing with union demands while I served as governor. My message then and now to good union brothers and sisters is that you have another option. You don’t have to kowtow to the union bosses who are not looking out for you, but instead are using you. You can join millions of other union members in a commonsense movement to help fight for the right causes in our great country – for budgets that share the burden in a truly fair way and for commonsense reforms that take power away from vested interests like union bosses and big business lobby groups, and put it back where it belongs – with “We the People.”

Here we are still struggling to get out of a deep recession and coping with high unemployment, record deficits, rapidly rising food prices, and a host of other economic problems; and Wisconsin union bosses want union members out in the streets demanding that taxpayers foot the bill for unsustainable benefits packages. I am a friend to hard working union members and to teachers. I come from a family of teachers; my grandparents, parents, brother, sister, aunt, and other relatives worked, or still work, in education. My own children attend public schools. I greatly admire good teachers and will always speak up in defense of the teaching profession. But Wisconsin teacher unions do themselves no favor by closing down classrooms and abandoning children’s needs in protest against the sort of belt-tightening that people everywhere are going through. Union brothers and sisters: this is the wrong fight at the wrong time. Solidarity doesn’t mean making Wisconsin taxpayers pay for benefits that are not sustainable and affordable at a time when many of these taxpayers struggle to hold on to their own jobs and homes. Real solidarity means everyone being willing to sacrifice and carry our share of the burden. It does no one any favors to dismiss the sacrifices others have already had to make—in wage cuts, unpaid vacations, and even job losses—to weather our economic storm. More  

Palin: The Truth Behind the White House’s Budget Spin

From Sarah Palin's Facebook page:

Today the White House finally produced its proposal for the 2012 budget. Beware of the left’s attempt to sell this as “getting tough on the deficit,” because as an analysis from Americans for Tax Reform shows, the White House’s plans are more about raising taxes and growing more government than reducing budget shortfalls.

 

The fine print reveals a White House proposal to increase taxes by at least $1.5 trillion over the next decade. If you want to know how minuscule their proposed $775 million-a-year budget “cuts” really are, please look at this chart. The proposed cuts are so insignificant – less than 1/10 of 1% of this year’s $1.65 trillion budget deficit – that they are essentially invisible on the pie chart. That speaks volumes about today’s budget.

Palin: Happy Birthday Sarah!

Before I became a political junkie I was a papercrafting junkie.  Scrapbook pages, cards, treat bags, you name it.  If there was paper, ink, ribbon or rub-ons involved you can bet it's on the 6-foot desk in my office.  Fast-forward to 2008 and with the pending presidential election I turned my attention to the primaries and then to the general election.  Upon hearing Governor Sarah Palin's speech at the RNC, I knew that there was finally a candidate that I wanted to work for. Papercrafting was left by the wayside. 

After hearing about Team Sarah during an interview on Sirius Patriot Radio in early October with Janine Turner,  I joined as quickly as I could.  (Meaning, as soon as I pulled into my driveway and could get my computer turned on!)  Shortly after the election of November 2008, a friend helped me to make the connection with Jim (the creator of this blog who was looking for someone to take it over) and as they say, the rest is history.

Although I have supported Sarah Palin all this time, this is the first time I have ever sent her a birthday card.  (See photo accompanying this blog post.)  I hope it's well-received. 

 

Happy Birthday Sarah!

Watch the video, think for a few moments then realize the truth.  Enough said.  ~Jackie~

 

Great comment on the video's YouTube page:

Whenever some media figure demeans Sarah Palin as a stupid bimbo, I turn my ear to the voice of N.O.W. (National Organization for Women) and all I hear are crickets. ~conservative608~
