Republican Criticism of Sotomayor is justified on the basis of her ill-judged comments and likely policy positions

There has been criticism of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor from Republicans such as Rush Limbaugh and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Quite frankly this is justified.

In a California speech in 2001 she stated that, on a court, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
On the basis of these statements she has been labeled a “reverse racist" by Gingrich and Limbaugh. It was Sotomayor who introduced racism into the political mix. Any opposition worthy of the name is duty bound to grill her on these comments. Failure to do so would be a dereliction of duty.

However critics must ensure that criticisms cannot be misconstrued as a ethnic attack. Democrats and their friends in the liberal media will of course seek to misrepresent the facts and paint the GOP as anti Hispanic. It is the duty of an opposition to ask the hard questions.

There are risks for conservative Democrats who fail to challenge Sotomayor on her comments. Support for an activist judge could be very costly in electoral terms.

It is highly likely that Sotomayor will adopt a liberal position on abortion. Obama would not have chosen a judge who is pro life. A pro abortion position is at odds with the views of the majority of Hispanics. Here Republicans will be operating on fertile political territory and will be at one with most Hispanics. Republicans with a modicum of common sense can outwit Obama on this issue.

Sarah Palin answers the liberal media in an interview for the forthcoming documentary "Media Malpractice"

In an interview for the forthcoming documentary "Media Malpractice" Governor Sarah Palin, for the first time at length, takes on the media coverage of her and the 2008 campaign. There is plenty more of the interview to come. To find out more got to www.HowObamaGotElected.com and get on the mailing list.

Sarah Palin Refuses Pay Rise and shows true leadership qualities

A very interesting report has appeared in the Anchorage Daily News concerning Governor Palin's pay. Members of Congress should take note.

A new state commission appointed by Palin recommends boosting the governor's pay from $125,000 to $150,000. The State Officers Compensation Commission says the lieutenant governor, department heads and legislators need more money too.
But if the commission pushes ahead with a pay raise, Palin won't accept the money, said spokesman Bill McAllister.

Palin is as usual showing leadership qualities. This is in marked contrast to Democrat controlled Congress where each member will receive a pay rise of $4,700. The anti Palin media continues to blacken her reputation with unfounded attacks and smears. It is largely silent on her self-sacrifices. As far as liberals are concerned Sarah Palin's biggest crime is that she is pro-life.

Ohio:Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber address 5,500 ecstatic supporters at Bowling Green State University

Republican vice presidential nominee Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin rallied a crowd of about 5,500 at Bowling Green State University with Samuel J. "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher, where she joined the chorus of criticism of Mr. Obamas appearance at a dinner five years ago to honor a representative of the Palestinian Liberation Organization.

Largely ignored by the liberal media Sarah Palin has addressed huge rallies throughout the country in recent weeks. Whilst the liberal media has continued its demonisation of Palin, conservative voters have rallied to the McCain/Palin cause angered at attacks on Palin.

Sarah Palin and her family are trashed by Doonesbury Cartoons

Since John McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate she has been subjected to a vicious hate campaign by elements in the liberal media . The attacks have also extended to family members. The cartoons in Doonesbury plummet the depths and are part of a campaign of demonisation. Just imagine if the Obama family were subjected to such insidious attacks.
Quite simply there would be uproar amongst liberal elements. Sarah Palin has been targeted because she is pro-life. Secular progressives are the new Stalinists.

Palin the foe of corruption subjected to vicious witch-hunt by Liberals, Feminists, Political Foes and Leftist Blogosphere

Judge Joseph Miller, For The Bulletin states: "When the Alaska state senate president attacks Mrs. Palin for lack of experience, one need only investigate that GOP senator's deep and unseemly connections to the oil industry. Even on the other side of the aisle, internal attacks are explained by connections to oil or, in the case of the legislator purporting to investigate her for ethical lapses, gubernatorial aspirations. So what about the people who know her, her constituents? Unlike the disgruntled political adversaries and oil company lobbyists, real Alaskans from all political stripes endorse her with a resounding 80-percent approval rating, the highest of any governor nationwide. Why? Because they know she'll never sell out. Pundits concerned about her advancement to the Oval Office should take some comfort in that."

Palin Delivers The Real Deal

Subjected to attack from a small minority within Alaska and a relentless onslaught from the the mainstream liberal media and leftist blogosphere Sarah Palin has certainly had a baptism of fire. Liberal elements are baying for her blood. Here is a sample of the ugliness from the Los Angeles Times:
"Selecting Sarah Palin, who was touted all summer by Rush Limbaugh, is no way to attract most women, including die-hard Clinton supporters. Palin shares nothing but a chromosome with Clinton. Her down-home, divisive and deceptive speech did nothing to cosmeticize a Republican convention that has more than twice as many male delegates as female, a presidential candidate who is owned and operated by the right wing and a platform that opposes pretty much everything Clinton's candidacy stood for -- and that Barack Obama's still does. To vote in protest for McCain/Palin would be like saying, "Somebody stole my shoes, so I'll amputate my legs."
The author is feminist is Gloria Steinem who has been a member of the Trotskyite Democratic Socialists of America.

The rules of political participation are been rewritten. No conservative pro life woman with a young family is entitled to stand for the vice presidency because liberals and feminists have so ordained. This privilege is reserved for leftist women who are pro abortion.The savagery of the attack from feminists may trigger a backlash in favour of the McCain/Palin ticket. Sarah Palin has been singled out because she is a conservative woman who is pro life. Quite frankly the insane paranoia evident in the DailyKos and Huffington Post has yet to plateau. It is continuing to gain in intensity. The liberal media and leftist bloggers are the foot soldiers for the Democratic Party and Barack Obama. It is time for mainstream political opinion to register its disapproval of the Democrat, Socialist, Liberal, Trotskyite and Marxist alliance in the ballot box

Political Cartoons: Are Obama supporters too thin skinned?

Obama supporters are up in arms over the hard-hitting cartoon which has appeared in the New Yorker. Welcome to the cut and thrust of American politics. No quarter is given or taken. Cartoonists have savaged George W Bush and Condoleezza Rice. They just roll with the punches. Obama has benefited from a high degree of favourable media coverage so far from the Liberal media.In contrast John McCain, Hillary Clinton, George Bush, Condoleezza Rice and John Edwards have been subjected to very harsh treatment by elements in the media. I don't recall any of them crawling into a glass case. Me thinks Obama supporters doth protest too much. The first two cartoons are anti Obama cartoons. The remaining four are anti GOP cartoons. Liberals must realise what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Democrats are quite good at dishing it out. What are they complaining about?

Racism lubricates the wheels of the Clinton campaign

Racism lubricates the wheels of the Clinton campaign. The Clintons are engaged in a subtle campaign to polarise the electorate into a Caucasian v African American fight. If Republican Party politicians had behaved in a similar manner Liberals would have had a field day. The Liberal media is largely silent.

(1) Remarks made by Clinton about the role of Martin Luther King, Jr. in the Civil Rights movement provided clearcut evidence that Hillary intended to use the race card. She said that while Martin Luther King talked about equality, it took a president like Lyndon Baines Johnson to do the real work of getting civil rights passed. Essentially she was stating that Martin Luther King was all talk and no action just like Barack Obama.

(2) In Columbia, SC Bill Clinton said: "Jesse Jackson won South Carolina in '84 and '88. Jackson ran a good campaign. And Obama ran a good campaign here."
This was in response to a question from ABC News' David Wright about it taking "two Clintons to beat" Obama. Jackson's name had not been mentioned.

(3) The photo of Obama in traditional Kenyan attire. There is a strong suspicion that this came from the Clinton campaign.

(4) Staunch Clinton supporter and former vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro said:
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman of any colour, he would not be this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in this concept.”
