Crowd gathers early for final Palin rally

LAKEWOOD - The crowd starting gathering about 7 a.m. today, Nov. 3, for what’s expected to be the final Ohio campaign appearance for the Republican McCain-Palin ticket before the Tuesday, Nov. 4 election.

GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was expected to speak about 9:15 a.m. in Lakewood Park here in this suburb west of Cleveland. GOP presidential candidate John McCain was not expected in Ohio today. Neither was Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama but his running mate Joe Biden was expected in Zanesville and the Akron area.

“Pro-life,” said Brianne Gibson, 23, of why she supports John McCain and Sarah Palin. She and her husband Ryan, 26, got up at 4 a.m. to get here from Ravenna in Portage County, about 40 miles to the east. They brought their twins, Ryan and Alli, who will turn 3 on Friday.

“I love Gov. Palin,” said Brianne. “She’s a good conservative woman. She’s just like me.”

Alice Myhal, 53, a small-business owner from Lakewood, also applauded the McCain-Palin ticket’s anti-abortion stance.

“You can’t stand for anything else if you don’t stand for life itself,” said Myhal.

An Obama presidency should fit in nicely with plans Islamic terrorists have for America. Afterall, they’ve waited patiently since 9/11/01, and soon won’t have those pesky Iraq/Afghanistan wars to preoccupy them and thwart their efforts! (Obama supporters - be careful what you wish for.) God bless George W. Bush and our wonderful, brave military troops!

If you knew Obama was going to kill over 1 million old people, or blacks, or asians after the election, would you vote for him? No, you wouldn’t. Then why can’t these same morals be applied to the 1 million babies being aborted every year? They are people! If abortion is possible, then anything is possible. You have no freedom! If you don’t have the right to be born, you have no rights! Abortion is destroying this country and because of it we will soon have more retired people than those working. How can we afford social security? Will Obama start requiring mandatory “euthanasia” for those over 85 yrs old? He has to pay for this somehow. Anything is possible! Vote for freedom, vote for life, vote for John McCain!

The only white house palin will see is an igloo. She is incapable of any logical discussion on any issue. Her best course of action is to go back to Alaska and prepare for the grandkid and shotgun wedding. McCain should consider Sun City. There’s a golf cart with his name on it. On right wing media. Limbaugh accuses Obama of being a “socialist”. Well, Limbaugh, a recovering drug addict, says alot of stupid things. Must be the damage caused by the Oxycontin. FOX news? FOX is the checkout stand tabloid for the conservative set. Worthless. Hannity is an idiot. And only sees his own warped and demented side. The republican party caused their own damage. And, they should look inward for repair. Instead of attacking everyone around them. Of course, most republicans in office act like addicts.

Somebody needs to back the truck up. Yes, our best and bravest are fighting and dying overseas. But I’d defy anybody to wrap the flag of “liberty” around this adminstrations ill advised war of pre-emption. The conflict in Iraq has never been about American liberty - it was a US led force fed mission of the UN using bad and wrong intelligence. Frankly, Senator Obama has been correct on most of questions surrounding the Iraq war to date. Senator McCain’s position is to keep throwing America’s finest into the Iraqi meat grinder for no discernable definable end objective. Frankly, if Senator Obama wins, I can think of no greater confirmation of the words - “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pusuing invariably the same object, enivices a design to reduce them under absolute despotism…” Seems to me our founders are practically pleading with us even now to put an end to this Adminstration’s nonsense and Senator Obama is clearly the more likely candidate to get that done in a responsible, legal, and fiscally sound manner.

Palin is just like Brianne. She isn’t qualified to be vice president either.

“Obama is not a socialist and he is not going to turn this country into a European country. This is because he has never shown socialist tendencies and her repudiated the socialist label. The fact of the matter is, please educate yourselves by reading a book or challenging your brain….” You need to take your own advice. Read Obama’s book Dreams of My Father. He admits to leaning socialist and Marxist. Listen to his interviews. Look at his voting record when he actually voted. Rush Limbaug is an annoying man, no doubt, but when did he ever give a death threat? Yet Liberal Radio Talk Host made death threat against Joe the Plumber. An American citizen. An American citizen that spoke out against the one. Think about it. What is Obama’s Civilian National Security force for?

Pro-lifers are hypocrites. They cry about preserving unborn life but say nothing about life taken away from the death penalty, war, poor health care, and poverty. There is no exception to the Thou Shalt Not Kill Commandment.

For all of you people that listen to “news” talk radio please turn off the misleading barrage and go educate yourselves. Obama is not a socialist and he is not going to turn this country into a European country. This is because he has never shown socialist tendencies and her repudiated the socialist label. What do you want to believe?Why not call him a witch or even a black witch? The fact of the matter is, please educate yourselves by reading a book or challenging your brain with some mathematics because for those nonracists that simply think that they are voting for Palin based on her policies, look closer to see that there aren’t any policies that this women has written. Palin is simply a face and a mouth that is being scripted. I guess you don’t care because you voted twice for Bush and any other person that called himself conservative because you want to be just like them. Well, if you don’t make more than $250,000 per year like Rush Limbaug, Sean Hannity, John MCcain, Sara P, every Foxnews analyst, you will not see you taxes increased by a little bit. If you make less than that and believe that Mccain will help this country because he is “tough on terrorism”, remember that anyone can talk tough but its the spirit of understanding that gets things done. I don’t think Mccain stands for the multifaceted gov’t that we have and that he can bring this country together by giving a common goal of building us into a 21st century country that is for the people and by the people. Obama is for the future. No more can the Republicans make elections about 1 single issue and feel safe because this Obama is smarter than all of them. You always win with love because everyone wants to be loved. Ohio wake up and stop hating yourself. We can make a difference not only in our state but in this world by staying positive and not just “love Sarah Palin cos she is conservative”…what does that mean. Found out who this lovely lady is and what she stands for and what she has said/done over her lifetime and you simply see an ambitious actress with little or no education. Do you want someone lke yourself in the Whitehouse or do you want someone smarter?

Our soldiers are overseas fighting for our liberties, not our economy, not our taxes, not healthcare, not education, they are fighting for our liberties our freedoms, for the American Dream that so many millions come here to have. Our soldiers fight and die to keep us safe and free. To keep us the country that we are - opportunity for all. Obama says we do not have opportunity for all and he wants to change us into a European country. If Obama wins we have all just slapped our soldiers and our forefathers in the face. It is an insult to elect someone who has been able to achieve so much in this country and want to keep others from obtaining it. If you are a single working person you will get $500 from taxpayers, If you are married working couple you will get $1,000. Now what opportunities does that bring you. How will that help you achieve the American Dream. Don’t you see he just needs you to believe in him, so he can undo what our forefathers fought for.
