Don't believe us? Just look at this ad that showed up on Washingtonpost.com today.
The quote actually belongs to Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan -- she said it on NBC last night.
It was eventually switched and a McCain spokesman joked to WaPo, "Is she not a famous person? OK, so what's the problem?" You betcha!

1. Anyone who actually believes that Sara Palin was the star, etc., is retarded, or they have a stake in the GOP party. What is it with Republicans that they can NEVER admit that they were/are wrong. It is so frustrating.

2. Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California . He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. 'Barry' (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan . During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a 'round the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family. My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one o f my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York . It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It's not cheap to say the least! Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000 a year. Why Chicago ? Why not New York ? He was already living in New York .
By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real estate developer in Chicago . Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association'. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School . Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School ? Where did he get the money for Law School ? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago . Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which is Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major fina ncial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago . In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.
Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz , Iran ! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?
On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley, advisor to Obama, was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas', which controls Gaza20and is connected with Iran . This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'.
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan ? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East ?
And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith'. When questioned, 'he made a mistake'. Some mistake!
All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washin gton Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008

7. Sarah was in Dallas today for a lunch fundraiser. My friends who were there said there were so many affluent white women cheering and screaming one would think they were there to see Oprah.

Yes it is true. Too bad most people are too dumb or too lazy to research this. Or maybe they figure what they don't know won't hurt them. They are wrong this time. It will hurt them very badly (& the rest of the country as well).

11. Mrs. Palin would win hands down for Ms. or Mr. Congeniality, she is engaging and fasinating to listen too in a odd way, but this isn't a pageant she is running in. And that is my problem with her. She is NOT VP material, not one bit!
No B4U Vote...that is a really interesting post. Fasinating, but Barak will win non the less. Nobody could be worse than wht has been in the White House for the past 8 yrs...one hell of a fine mess tht has changed the crse of history.

12. KnowBFUVote, Thank you for that clear concise information about Barack Obama's past and current affiliations with those in the Middle East. These "friendships" are frightening to me, especially when you couple them with some of the off the cuff remarkds he has made about the War, not to mention his cozy relationships with Jim Johnson and Franklin Reins who are directly involved with the failure of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and both of whom collected massive salaries in a short period of time and then contnributed to Barack Obama's campaign. IT SEEMS TO ME BARACK OBAMA IS IN BED WITH UNSAVORY CHARACTERS ALL OVER THE GLOBE. You won't hear about any of this in the mainstream media as they have already decided the next President will be Barack Obama. I hope John McCain will continue to fight the fight, I know I will continue to support the side of honesty and truth.

13. She actually does have several "famous people" endorsements. Which, probably helps her more than anything not having the loud mouthed ones that would hurt her more then help. Like Obama. I mean who wants "diddys" uneducated ass running around sounding like he's right out the gutter supporting her? I wouldn't ! Money doesn't make you sound classy. Just look at Obamas roll call of celeb fans:)
Posted at 6:52PM on Oct 3rd 2008 by PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO
14. I repeat if you don't want four more yerars of republican lack of concern and elitist politics then McCain is your man. She waffled and lost. Simple. A pre-read republican conservative robot. And she preaches family values, then why did she have an affair. The natural gas pipeline, only on paper. Troop leves are not down to teh pre-surge level in iraq she's living a famtasy here. And if Barak did drugs, or hung out with radicals you would be a major idiot if you think he'll take those beliefs into the whitehouse. Bush did coke, and clinton inhaled, let it go, and look to what has happened in your life time.
