Some Republicans Say Leave Sarah Palin Alone
A string of nasty stories about GOP running mate Sarah Palin have many conservative activists planning to fire back at the leakers in the McCain camp—and Sen. John McCain himself if he doesn't end the assault. "The McCain guys who dump on Palin are in for a very rough time. There are long memories of losers blaming conservatives for losses. Not gonna have it here. She did McCain a favor," said a key conservative activist in an E-mail to Whispers. "McCain and his minions, true to form, s—- all over the only conservative on the team," added another conservative.

The anger at the attacks on the Alaska governor follow a story on Fox News Channel in which McCain aides are quoted saying that Palin didn't know Africa was a continent and that she pushed back when they tried to give her advice. "I have just listened to Carl Cameron on Fox spew the nastiest crap I ever heard come out of the McCain camp on Palin. It's sickening and disgustingly sexist," said a prominent Washington conservative official on background. Former Palin aides also say that they are disappointed with the attacks on the candidate, which seem to suggest it was her fault McCain blew the election. "Look, he and they came to her. She didn't go looking for this job," said one. "I'm so disgusted, that I can't even put it into words." Another who advised Palin said that the attacks on the veep choice confirmed the feeling among many McCain staffers that top aides were looking out for themselves amid the finger-pointing of blame. "There weren't a lot of people vested in McCain," said the adviser.

Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin is a Mother and she was picked for John McCain's running mate. Why is everyone trying to bash her. Do unto to others as you would have other do unto you. Is this how you would want to be treated for this is not God's way and what has she done wrong and who has she damaged.
I am beginning to get upset with John McCain for not coming forth and telling his people to leave this lady alone. I do not know if people are jealous of her or what the problem is.
The election is over people and as long as you look over your shoulder with your little digs how can you move forward. Barack Obama won the election and now we need to support him and Sarah Palin has not damaged the United States or any of you that keep nit picking her so let go and lets get on rebuilding the United States of America.
God Bless Sarah Palin.....God Bless Barack Obama and God Bless the United States of America
Ladies'clothing
As an example of the liberal media, Sarah Palin's wardrobe was a topic of discussion for no other reason than to try to embarass her. Perhaps I haven't been looking, but Mrs. Obama could have done with a little wardrobe critique before her victory celebration appearance in what looked like a red apron over a perfectly classic little black dress. A liberal friend suggested that it was a clear indication of Barak's intelligence that he didn't suggest she wear something else.

The Supreme Court and Obama’s Birth Certificate

The Supreme Court and Obama’s Birth Certificate
Posted on November 7, 2008 by organicpeas
[from Joan Swirsky's America the Beautiful]
If The Supreme Court Decides…?
At this point, Supreme Court Justice David Souter’s Clerk informed Philip J. Berg, the lawyer who brought the case against Obama, that his petition for an injunction to stay the November 4th election was denied, but the Clerk also required the defendants to respond to the Writ of Certiorari (which requires the concurrence of four Justices) by December 1. At that time, Mr. Obama must present to the Court an authentic birth certificate, after which Mr. Berg will respond.
If Obama fails to do that, it is sure to inspire the skepticism of the Justices, who are unaccustomed to being defied. They will have to decide what to do about a president-elect who refuses to prove his natural-born citizenship.
“I can see a unanimous Court (en banc) decertifying the election if Obama refuses to produce his birth certificate,” says Raymond S. Kraft, an attorney and writer. “They cannot do otherwise without abandoning all credibility as guardians of the Constitution. Even the most liberal justices, however loathe they may to do this, still consider themselves guardians of the Constitution. The Court is very jealous of its power - even over presidents, even over presidents-elect.”
Also remember that on December 13, the Electoral College meets to casts its votes. If it has been determined that Mr. Obama is an illegal alien and therefore ineligible to become President of the United States, the Electors will be duty-bound to honor the Constitution.
