Sarah Palin congratulates Georgia Republican Senate primary candidate Karen Handel, for losing.

Courtesy of the Facebook page for She who Wields the Palin Curse:  

We need a united front to combat the egregious agenda under which our economy, security, and freedoms now suffer. It's only by banding together to push conservatives across the finish line that America can recover. How to do it? Focus. Keep your eye on the ball. Remember the real threat to our country's solvency and sovereignty is the liberal pro-Obama candidates we'll face this fall. 

A special thanks tonight to Georgia senate candidate Karen Handel for having the courage to jump into the ring and fight for what is right. Our nation becomes a better nation when good candidates like Karen come forward and offer to serve for the right reasons. The party of Lincoln and Reagan needs more strong, confident conservative women like her. Teddy Roosevelt's quote about the man – or woman – “in the arena” is applicable here: God bless the candidate “who strives valiantly,” and “if [she] fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that [her] place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” 

Many more primary races are underway. Constitutional conservatives will be the ones to adhere to the blueprint our Founders created for us to follow towards a more perfect union. Please support them. United we’ll stand for the exceptional nation America is destined to be again. Divided we’ll fall under continued failed liberal policies.

Palin also links to her Whoring to November video, which seems interesting because yesterday one of her Mama Grizzlies died of mange.

Yes there are more primary fights coming and many of them feature more Palin endorsees, including the pig mutilator and the gator rassler, so you know her losing streak is really only picking up steam.

I love that Teddy Roosevelt quote, which her ghostwriter had to alter in order to make it grrrl friendly.

Though I am not sure how a woman who left her previous job in disgrace, and has run two losing campaigns in the last five years could be accused of striving "valiantly."

Palin also managed to jump from Roosevelt to Lincoln today posting this quote:


And then accusing President Obama, of destroying the country from the inside. You know, because he is "the other."

"Government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost." Friends, that’s rationed care. That’s the VA today. That's what's got to change. That's why Congress has got to change because until we elect leaders who'll buck the march to socialized medicine known as Obamacare, America’s health care system will go the way of the VA. That's why Obama’s Democrat party must be defeated in the ballot box in November. America is still the strongest nation on earth; outside forces won't ruin us – we will only destroy ourselves if the status quo doesn't go.

Boy she is really focused on the idea that the VA scandal exculpates her from the death panels nonsense.

Interesting to me that she quotes Lincoln, the man who did away with slavery, and moved the country to a place where a man named Barack Obama could one day be President, despite his skin color. And then condemns the first black man to enter the White House as an enemy of the country, bent on its destruction.

I wonder if she recognizes the irony?

Sarah Palin takes to Facebook to compare the Republican party to a dead moose. Whose side is she on again?

Photo of Todd Palin raping a carcass. Compared to his wife, probably not that much different.
This from the the Screeching She-Devil's Facebook page:

Yeah. Todd bagged a moose. Dinner. Appropriate to remind folks in the GOP establishment that the progressive Bull Moose Party also met its demise - in no small part because of some liberal positions it co-opted from the left.

Hold on there little miss "lack of reading comprehension."

While it may be true that the Bull Moose party was made up of former President Teddy Roosevelt's supporters who did not agree with the more conservative direction that the Republican party was taking, it was NOT the establishment party. It was a faction that split from the party leadership and attempted to run as a third party in 1912 against both the Republican nominee, William Howard Taft, and the Democrat nominee, Woodrow Wilson.

In the end Roosevelt managed to split the Republican vote, which allowed the Democrat, Wilson, to win.

That scenario does not match the metaphor of Palin's Facebook post.

To be more accurate, the Bull Moose Party, though considered more progressive, would be more representative of the insurgent Tea Party group of today, which, though more conservative than the establishment Republicans, is currently battling them for control, just like Roosevelt and his supporters did back in 1912.

So if history were to repeat itself, that would mean that a Tea Party candidate may inject themselves into the 2016 race against the Republican candidate, and Hillary Clinton.

So in that more honest scenario, which is the political party that suffers a crushing defeat and then dissolves after losing virtually all of its support?

The Republican party? Or the Teabaggers?

Need a hint? Like to use one of your lifelines? Perhaps phone a friend?

Good morning my friends.

I thought this would be a good way to start the day.

Many president's had tried, but this President succeeded.

And NOTHING the Right Wing can do will ever change that.

President Obama gives an amazing speech in Kansas, where he invokes the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt, and takes the Republicans to task for failiing the American people. Updated!



In 1910, Teddy Roosevelt came here, to Osawatomie, and laid out his vision for what he called a New Nationalism. “Our country,” he said, “…means nothing unless it means the triumph of a real democracy…of an economic system under which each man shall be guaranteed the opportunity to show the best that there is in him.” 

For this, Roosevelt was called a radical, a socialist, even a communist. But today, we are a richer nation and a stronger democracy because of what he fought for in his last campaign: an eight hour work day and a minimum wage for women; insurance for the unemployed, the elderly, and those with disabilities; political reform and a progressive income tax. 

You can read the entire speech by clicking here.

This is a truly great speech and I highly recommend that you read it all the way through.

I will post the video just as soon as I locate a good copy of it.

Update: As promised here is the video of the entire speech courtesy of MSNBC. Because as you know reading a speech, and hearing our President deliver a speech, are two entirely different experiences.
