Excerpts: Remarks by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin
Vice Presidential Nominee to Address the 2008 Republican National Convention
SAINT PAUL, Minn. - This evening Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican Party’s vice presidential nominee, will address the 2008 Republican National Convention. Excerpts from the governor’s remarks, as prepared for delivery, are below.
On her experience as a public servant:
“I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town. I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids’ public education better. When I ran for city council, I didn’t need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and knew their families, too. Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”
On why she is going to Washington, D.C.:
“I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone. But here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion - I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country.”
On energy policies that the McCain-Palin administration will implement:
“Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America’s energy problems - as if we all didn’t know that already. But the fact that drilling won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all. Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we’re going to lay more pipelines…build more nuclear plants…create jobs with clean coal…and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative sources. We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers.”
On John McCain:
“Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election. In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.”
WHoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.. The Barracuda speaks!!!
That speech is going to tear the Target Center down. Cannot wait!
I’m not even going to post all the links. If you would like to see 6 new video spots (some ads, some footage) from today, including Rudy Giuliani and Newt Gingrich crushing the media over it’s coverage of Palin, as well as John McCain being greeted at the Minneapolis airport by his family and the family of Sarah Palin, please come here:

The first 6 videos on the grid below the ‘featured video’ are all from today. I’m uploading another spot right now, where FOX’s Megyn Kelly destroys US Weekly senior editor who tries to justify their outrageous, slanderous cover of Sarah Palin. To see that, shortly, click on the number (40-something) besides the ‘videos’ label beside the 9-video grid on my channel.
Can’t wait for this speech!
Check that. 5 of the first 6 videos in my 9-video grid are from today. The “PUMAs for Palin” video is not from today.
The empire strikes back as everyone expected. But sadly, BO is no Luke Skywalker; Biden is no Han Solo; and his Obots are gossipy Ewoks.
Obama is Chewbacca
Obama is a Jaba the Hut wannabe. When Jaba was 46 he looked like Obama now, then his ego exploded inside his gut and his arrogance filled his head.
I knew Chewbacca, and Obama, ma’am, is no Chewbacca.
As Chewy would say,
“AAARRRRHHHHHGGGHHHHH!
Paul,
Well done with all the links on YouTube - and very cool that Greta used one for her PUMA blog!
Thanks, Boxer Mum.
Here is the direct link to the Megyn Kelly video, where she crushes the US Weekly editor for their hack cover and story on Sarah Palin:

The audio is low, but it’s worth turning the volume up for.
I wish you had a hidden camera in the room where MEEECHEEELELLE is sitting watching Sarah’s speech! That would be classic!
LOL!
waaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaa wait! Is that Michelle squalling? No? It’s Obama and Biden. How does it feel to get spanked boys?
im a republic, but they have not done anything to be proud of. He selected a woman to run the country if he dies that cant even run her own household. And has one foot on a banana and one foot in the grave, let hope he’s not sometime forgetful. He’s just too old and she’s not ready.
yes all the videos I have seen recently have been good! Great work…Paul
Sarah is going to make a great speech and make the One see it’s back to the senate for him come Nov!!
GO SARAH…
? can we not chat now at blog radio??
Thanks, just me!
I’m going to keep ‘em coming, so stay tuned.
Thanks Paul!
yes Paul…please keep up the great work!
I’m a big fan of your videos, keep up the great work!
Thanks Paul for the link to your videos !!
Huckabee is up. Not bad; he is funny and saluted the historic character of Obama’s candidacy: good for him.
Hey that’s really cool, dude. Thanks for the link. Really great. Thanks.
Love it! They should not have leaked the speech out. I wanted to hear it live for the first time.
Too good too good too good!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We cannot wait for OBAMA TO GO DOWN!!!!!!!!!!
DOWN
DOWN
DOWN!!!!!!
Loved this one: “I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”
For a person to sit around and wait for another person to fall or fail is down themselves. Only one who wishes the best for others no matter who they maybe is well off themselves in heart, mind and skin.
There is a countdown to Palin’s speech on Fox. I love it. MCcain must feel like a genious about now.
CNN has a “Sarah Palin Speech” countdown clock running in the corner of the screen. Bwahahaha! Their panties are in a knot.
“Panties in a knot”
And the DEM’S are being sexist.. *cough*
“panties/shorts” I stand corrected. Forgive me.
Oh yeah Christopher, Panties in a knot is right up there with accusing fake pregnancies, nut crackers and the list goes on and on. You are an idiot *cough*
No no there’s no correction necessary there. Christopher does wear panties. He told me. His mother encouraged it. She gave him her own. His mother also told him to support Barack Obama. He and his mother are very close.
Sound like you need your hernia fixed Christopher.
HAHAHA.
And Christopher’s Underroos.
CNN has become a pathetic center for journalist wannabees. They should add liza gibons on their rooster and get rid of brazilla.
Go Saracuda!!! I hope she calls out the media on their deplorable sexist coverage.
Now THAT would be sensational! Almost like VE Day.
Take that, chauvinist pigs! Ohh, the exploding heads. How dare she talk back? We’ll strangle her supporters! Oh, wait, they’re Republicans…
god…I would absolutely love it if sarah barracuda told the media to shove it where the sun doesn’t shine…
“Since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves,” Palin said. “I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a `community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”
Give that punk Obama hell!!!
Now that’s what I call derision as well as being a true statement. What a great line.
Haha Obama! Haha Obama! Haha Obama! Haha Obama! Haha Obama!
That’s what I’m talking about!!!!
I saw the ad by McCain pitting Obama against Palin. I hope he keeps that up because it’s hilarious to think that Obama can only stand up to a VP. Then again, Obama has never won where the voters actually had a say. And he’s certainly never won against a Republican… EVER (oh! unless you consider Alan Keyes an actual opposition).
About her speech, from what I see here, she’s able to draw from her experience. Things she’s actually done. I’ve NEVER once heard what Obama has done, other than “community service” (oops, is that not the proper term?).
I also find it funny that the media is accusing McCain of not knowing Palin as well as Obama knows Ayers. Sure, they leave out Ayers, but it’s an unavoidable consequence.
I’m just glad there’s starting to be same pushback against all the lies.
Keyes had less than 3 months to campaign, just 86 days. Most had no idea who he even was. Plus he was carpetbagging. Yet look how many votes he got. He took about 27% of the vote. Now imagine if he’d had the same amount of time Obama had/had to campaign. There was a reason Obama lost congress in a landslide. Had to run for office unopposed. He’s never won an election based on his character, and the things he’s accomplished. Did for his constituents. He knows it and we know it. That’s why it’s all show and glitz, chanting. Divert and distract for him and his campaign. The MSM. They know it too.
“Then again, Obama has never won where the voters actually had a say. And he’s certainly never won against a Republican… EVER (oh! unless you consider Alan Keyes an actual opposition).”
Yeah - do people remember that? Obama’s always had someone to fix or rig elections for him!
The reason why Obama got to run against Alan Keyes was because he pulled his typical MO and has his supporters convince the judge to unseal the divorce records of his opponent the popular Jack Ryan.

http://1007eastgrand.blogspot.com/2008/07/short-political-history-of-barack-obama.html
Jack Ryan was forced to drop out. The Republicans tried getting other people to fill the slot including Mike Ditka but were stuck with Alan Keyes who Obama easily beat 74% to 24%.
Obama wouldn’t know fair play if it bit him in the ass.
Sarahdepity will take down the liberal news netowork and render them irrelevant. I am so excited about politics. I thought I had a high when HIllary was in. But now Sarah is givign me hope again. WHoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Sa-Rah! Sa-Rah! Sa-Rah!
I can’t WAIT to see her deliver this!
The CNN Countdown Clock says 1:04:29.
I don’t think Sarah will say alot if anything about the media and the crap about her daughter. If she does it will make it look like she is playing the “victim”. I think she is going to lay out her experience, life and her stance on issues. I think she’ll do an AWESOME job!! If the Dem’s weren’t worried they would not be spending so much time trying to trash her. They are just making themselves utterly stupid.
Go Sarah! Clean house tonight!
I like Gov Palin more and more! That small town mayor/community organizer with responsibility crack is great! Is Barky crying yet????
This is just what I needed after being stuck sick as a dog for the last week! Refreshing indeed! Go Sarah! Kick his scrawny little butt all the way back to Chicago!
“I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”
Oh too cute! lolz
The media and the DNC cannot or will not believe that we Hillary supporters will vote for a woman who stands for what she believes in even though we might not agree with everything she says. We do however, believe this woman should be in Washington DC as VP for John McCain and there should not be different standards for her. First it was Hillary — I thought well she made enemies — now its this terrific gal who doesn’t pretend to be a Democrat–why do the Democrats feel they need to destroy her? Must be that Obama wants to suck all the air out of the room once again and can’t handle the competition — especially from a woman.
Yes, s. hall, the DNC and media keep saying Hillary supporters will eventually “come home” to the dems because they will not be able in the end to vote for someone against Roe v Wade. Just watch!
I have always been defensive when it comes to R v W, but no more will I be held hostage because of Roe. Roe has divided women for years! We need to stick together to unleash the power of the women’s vote. Conservative and liberal women should support Governor Palin because she is an impressive candidate who is better qualified than BO. At the very least, ALL women should defend her against sexism. Sexism from a woman is particularly disgusting. This is what women’s rights is REALLY about, as in this case, banning together to elect a well-qualified woman NOT whether or not she is liberal or conservative. We need both! This should be a bi-partisan effort as it started out to be in the 70’s.
I’m not going home. I’ll wander if I have to. My vote is mine.
Zoomer stated downstairs that the Dem Party left that he didn’t leave it.
Some brilliant person or persons at the DNC convinced their compadres to believe in their vision for the future of the Dem. Party. Without question - there is always a leader who is followed by followers. Who this person is I do not know.
Nevertheless, some Party ELITE with bat shit for brains convinced the followers with bat shit for brains to trust in their vision for the Party.
Census predicts the AA population will grow exponentially over the next couple of decades. Therefore, the Dem Party needs to build and solidify this growing voter base. What better way to do that than insure the nomination of a man who portrays himself to be an African American.
However, this ELITE or ELITES made one very, very bad calculation in their decision making to build the base which is that WE women, and YES that includes ALL women, and “feminist” men have human brains and can think for ourselves.
You see, these ELITES and their minions threaten that under a McCain Administration we, the Democratic faithful, will see a whole new bench of conservative, anti abortion Supremes who will thrust the death nail into Roe v Wade once and for all.
BUT, what they don’t EVER mention is the FACT, that the Senate and the House will be in the safe hands of the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party WILL HOLD THE MAJORITY IN BOTH HOUSES. Hell, the Dem’s are expecting to pick up seats in November which will only strengthen their majority.
Remember, the President nominates a SCOTUS BUT it’s the Senate who APPROVES the nominee.
Therefore, IF the Dem’s are true to Roe v Wade then their Senate brethren would NEVER put such neo cons on the Court. Right?
Right!
Therefore, I could give a rats ass about their R v W pandering. That is b/c WE, the voters, can hold our Congressional delegation accountable.
And we do that every two years with our vote.
Enough about the R v W scare tactics. I will not cast my vote in November out of fear. It’s simply not going to happen.
Me neither.
“I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”
That is classic. It’s all good stuff.
That line alone would make a great ad for the McCain campaign. haha
I’m watching the US Open Tennis match and the sound has gone off. I wonder if the BO crew is working on scrambing the sat signal during her speech and got on the wrong frequency? Anything is possible it seems with this crew!
“Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election. In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers. And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.”
Brilliantly put. Go Barracuda!
She is a republican. She will ignore the media with all that talK ABOut HER DAUGHTER. bUT HER WORDS WILL SOAR tonight. She will not whine about sexism. But she will give them the smack down tonight.
Bring on the issues Sarah. WHoaaaaaaa A barrcuda in the white house.
I understand from the McCain Campaign that Sarah was chosen, like Barack, because of her speaking abilities, among many other things - not the case with O’s selection. Also, that in debates she destroyed her opponents. I am so excited and watching the count-down clock.
Mike Huckabee gave a good speech tonight. Not my first choice for President, but he beats Obama. The religiosity with both, actually, bothers me. Huckabee is charming.
Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown. And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”
OMG!!! I can’t WAIT for this speech!
You go Sarah!!!!
boxer mum — I can’t wait to watch this feisty lady. She could huff and puff and blow Obama down.
and if the real thing don’t do the trick
you better make up something quick
you gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
ooooh, barracuda!
As far as I’m concerned if that ‘community organizer’ line is the only thing that pops in her speech, that is going to rock their socks. These people are stupid for trying to tangle with this woman because it only points out 0bama’s flaws and weakeness.
In all of the years, this is the first time I’ve seen the opposing campaign and its supporters be so consumed with the VP choice. I just saw Sally Quinn make an ass out of herself. She supports 0bama, why should she care if McCain picked someone who in her eyes is a loser. Seems to me the 0bama campaign should be pleased.
Why aren’t they?
I’ll tell you why.
They’re scared!!!
Geraldo — Obama is now running against the VP nominee because he is too afraid to run against the Presidential Nominee. He shouldn’t be paying attention to anyone but McCain but small minded people do small minded things. Maybe even he knows that the wrong man is on the top of the Democratic Ticket.
Uh, seriously, who needs to go spelunking around in her familial history for fodder when the peanut butter commercial lady says shit like this in public. This lady is WHACK!
In an address last June, the Republican vice presidential candidate also urged ministry students to pray for a plan to build a $30 billion natural gas pipeline in the state, calling it “God’s will.”
Palin asked the students to pray for the troops in Iraq, and noted that her eldest son, Track, was expected to be deployed there.
“Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God,” she said. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God’s plan.”
A video of the speech was posted at the Wasilla Assembly of God’s Web site before finding its way on to other sites on the Internet.
Palin told graduating students of the church’s School of Ministry, “What I need to do is strike a deal with you guys.” As they preached the love of Jesus throughout Alaska, she said, she’d work to implement God’s will from the governor’s office, including creating jobs by building a pipeline to bring North Slope natural gas to North American markets.
“God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that,” she said.
“I can do my job there in developing our natural resources and doing things like getting the roads paved and making sure our troopers have their cop cars and their uniforms and their guns, and making sure our public schools are funded,” she added. “But really all of that stuff doesn’t do any good if the people of Alaska’s heart isn’t right with God.”
Palin attended the evangelical church from the time she was a teenager until 2002, the church
Sorry, not scared of the Deity by whatever name. What are you, trying to make us afraid of someone who believes in G-D? That is her privilege as an American, and not only that, we know that’s one of the reasons she was picked! Because unlike BO/BS her faith is obvious and palatable.
And the point, aside from the talking one between your shoulder blades, is what?
Awww…we should cut him some slack. How else is he/she going to earn money for his/her comic books and Clearasil?
This fits nicely between G-D Amerikka sermons.
You Obama drones really want to go there?
well I am glad shes asking for G-ds help its a lot better than her asking for Obamas help….
the we would have something to worry about!
let me say here I mean just let me say here umm um errr
Ohhhh bugga bugga bugga!
I’ll bet her church doesn’t hate America.
And those comments are whacko? What I see that she is addressing ministry students, she talks about what she can do as a political leader and what they can do as religious ministers.
And you want to compare this to Mr. Audacity’s Rev. God-Damn-America Wright’s church?
So are you joining Trinity?
Black Liberation theology, your favorite, obviously.
Going over to kick off the opening party for the new McCain/Palin headquarters.
Guess the Dems think they don’t have to be worried about CA. No notices of any campaign going on here. Hope they continue to take us for granted!
Until last week, it seemed that there were only Obama support letters in our local paper but suddenly every Obama supporter has a challenging response the next day. I have submitted one on the Ayers/Annenberg connection. Hope it gets in because the papers are not doing anything on their own.
Have a great time Annie - give them a big PUMA roar from me!
Go Sarah go! Kick Barky’s cowardly ass!
Go have fun Annie!!
“I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”
Sarah Palin is my hero!
I sort of wish she was going to debate Barry instead of Biden.
Ha! Actually, if I were McCain, I just might consider that. Obama, since you seem to believe you’re running against my VP, perhaps you’d like to have a debate with her?
There’s a countdown clock to Sarah’s speech on the CNN screen. They just had a Democrat woman on who explained why so many Hill supporters are turning up and coming out enthusiastically for Sarah. And first it’s eBay and Hewlett-Packard to the podium. It’s an all woman night. This is awesome.
Geraldo — Finally somebody from the Democratic Party admits we Hill Dems are going for Palin. Hannity said 35% of Hill Dems will vote for McCain/Palin I guess even the Democrats have to come to terms with it.
and Gulliani is on before Sarah it was saying on fox earlier today when I was in the car!!
The DNC is in denial.
“I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”
Bwaaaaaaaaaa! Barky’s about to be eaten alive by The Saracuda!
She’ll eat him alive and then spit him out. Obama is on the run when Sheriff Palin’s in town.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SMACK DOWN!!!!!!
Hockey Moms rule!
beebop — I agree — Hockey Moms rule — Go Sarah
McCain/Palin 08
PUMA
Hockey Moms rule - Community Organizers drool!!!
and wear lipstick!
Introducing Sarah Palin, America’s New Sweetheart!
Early this year, an op-ed in the Anchorage Daily News ripped into Gov. Sarah Palin’s appearance on a morning “shock jock” radio show as “plain and simple one of the most unprofessional, childish and inexcusable performances I’ve ever seen from a politician.”
So what happened? Palin has repeatedly feuded with the state’s Senate president, Lyda Green, over a wide range of legislation. Last January, Palin appeared on “The Bob and Mark Show,” whose host Bob Lester despises Green. That’s when the trouble started:
Early on in the conversation before Palin started to crack up, Lester referred to Sen. Green as a jealous woman and a cancer. Palin, who knows full well Lyda Green is a cancer survivor, didn’t do what any decent person would do, say, “Bob, that’s going too far.”
But as the conversation moved on, Lester intensified his attack on Green.
Lester questioned Green’s motherhood, asking Palin if the senator cares about her own kids. Palin laughs.
Then Lester clearly sets the stage for what he is about to say by warning his large audience and Palin. He says, “Governor you can’t say this but I will, Lyda Green is a cancer and a b—-.” Palin laughs for the second time.
What were teenage boys thinking when they heard the governor laugh at someone being called a b—-? How about the teenage girls who look up to Palin. What did they think when they heard her laugh?
But there is more. Lester then describes Green’s chair as big and cushy. A clear reference to the senator’s weight. Palin laughs a third time. She’s just having a grand old time.
Palin was clearly enjo
